Chengdu, in the Thorn History Mansion.

Liu Zhang sat in the study and read a book.

His expression was somewhat shocked, but it was much better than in previous days.

I think that at that time, the battle report at the front was a report every day, and all the reports came were how many cities and checkpoints he had lost, and how many generals had surrendered.

It was like a talisman, which almost made Liu Zhang faint.

Angry and shocked.

Fortunately, when Kou Feng's army arrived in Ba County and Fuling, it was finally stopped by Zhang Ren and Yan Yan joining forces.

When the news came from the front, to say something unpleasant, Liu Zhang was really relieved to sleep.

However, after being relieved, Liu Zhang was also worried, Yan Yan, how long Zhang Ren could resist. If you can resist until Kou Feng runs out of food, or if there is an accident in the Central Plains, it is certainly a good thing.

But if you can't bear it, what should you do?

Therefore, during these days, although Liu Zhang is at ease, he can't be all at ease. He was still in a state of panic.

"Hey, I heard that whether it is Chu or Wei, there are countless fierce generals and ministers. Kou Feng, Cao Cao, and those people are very comfortable to be kings. There are countless ministers who help share their worries, but what about him? When Liu Zhang thought of this, he felt very uncomfortable.

There will be no more than a few people, Zhang Ren, and Yan Yan are outside.

There are only a few ministers, Huang Quan, Zhang Song, Zheng Du and others are not too able to meet the enemy.

The so-called march and war have no strategy to break the enemy. The ability to govern the country is only in the middle class. It's really useless.

These days, there are so many fears. Liu Zhang also has some complaints about these people under his hands.

"Report to the lord, the news of General Zhang in front has arrived." Just when Liu Zhang was complaining in his heart, a small official walked in, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.

"Bring it up." Liu Zhangdanyan couldn't wait.

The official promised and immediately handed the bamboo slip to Liu Zhang. But after Liu Zhang took the bamboo slips, he was a little hesitant.

If this is a great victory, it will rejoice. But if it is defeated, even the city will be lost. This is a monstrous disaster.

Liu Zhang hesitated for a moment and settled down before opening the bamboo slip.

At first glance, I was suddenly dizzy and dizzy.

It's clearly written.

Because Kou Feng broke dozens of city passes. The morale was too strong, and the general Zhang Ren was afraid that the city would be lost, so he went out of the city to ambush, intending to frustrate Kou Feng's spirit.

But the result was an ambush and was defeated. Of the thousands of elite soldiers, most of them were shot on the spot, half were captured, and only half fled back to Fuling.

Heavy losses.

This Liu Zhang's heart was still a little frightened. How can you keep your composure when you see this kind of news?

Immediately, Liu Zhang's heart was ruthless.

The defense of the city has not yet begun, and there is such a big loss.

Zhang Ren couldn't bury it, but he was defeated, which is a big joke. What a loyal and brave Yizhou famous general, it is simply a mediocre general.

"Summoning Zhang Song, Zheng Du, Huang Quan, Fa Zheng, Wu Yi and others to the hall to discuss matters." Liu Zhang settled down and immediately said sharply.

When it is time to gather everyone, how to deal with Zhang Ren. and guarding against Kou Feng.

The soldier who had just entered to deliver the news said yes and immediately walked out.

Soon after, Liu Zhang dressed up and came to the hall. When Liu Zhang came to the hall, the hall was already full of people, Zhang Song, Zheng Du, Huang Quan, Fa Zheng, Wu Yi and other important civil and military ministers.

"This is the battle report from the front, take a look." After sitting down, Liu Zhang immediately handed the bamboo slip to the attendant next to him and asked him to pass it on to everyone in the hall.

Zhang Song, as a different driver, is naturally the first to watch.

After looking at it, Song's face changed, and then he regained his composure. But the heart was not calm, and the crossbowmen really made a contribution.

Chu Jun's entry into Shu is basically a foregone conclusion.

After Zhang Song, it is Huang Quan and Zheng Du, and the two of them are really perverted. The demeanor is solemn. After that, Fa Zheng read it expressionlessly, and handed it to Wu Yi.

"General Zhang was defeated for a while. The king summoned his ministers to come here, but it was to remedy? When Wu Yi finished reading, Huang Quan spoke first.

"Of course it must be remedied." Liu Zhang snorted coldly and said, "Zhang Ren is this person, blindly arrogant, and sent troops without authorization. so that if the soldiers are lost, this person should be beheaded. ”

"You can't kill the general, this is really not good for the war. Moreover, General Liu Huang wrote very clearly in the military newspaper. In this battle, it was because Kou Feng had a ten-round repeater crossbow that could be fired continuously, which led to General Zhang Ren's defeat. It's not General Zhang's responsibility. ”

Huang Quan and Zheng Du's complexion changed in unison, and Zheng Du stepped forward excitedly to admonish.

I couldn't help sighing in my heart, I wanted to kill the general in battle, which was something that only Liu Zhang could do. Let's not talk about morale, let's just say that after killing Zhang Ren, who can replace him?

Relying on Liu debt, Deng Xian's people? Or is it Wu Yi? In Zheng Du's opinion, no. Wu Yi is a little better, he is fierce and resolute, and the rest of the people are too bad, too much.

At present, Zhang Ren's position is in the Shu Kingdom, and no one can replace him.

"Ten repeaters?" Liu Zhang had some doubts in his heart, after he read the battle report, he was dizzy, and he didn't notice what was recorded behind.

Suddenly I knew what I was missing. couldn't help beckoning: "Bring the battle report" The attendant immediately took the battle report to Liu Zhang, and after Liu Zhang read it, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Of the people sitting in the hall, which one is not a human spirit? Who doesn't know Liu Zhang very well? From the look on Liu Zhang's face, he immediately guessed a few points.

I can't help but have different expressions.

Huang Quan and Zheng Du both sighed, Fa Zheng was expressionless, Zhang Song's eyes had a little pity, and Wu Yi's face also had a little more sigh.

After being embarrassed, Liu Zhang's mind was suddenly taken away by the power of the crossbow.

"Is there really such a weapon in the world? Put it on and show it to Lonely. Liu Zhang's face was inexplicably shocked and ordered.

The attendant on the side said yes and immediately walked out, and a short time later came in with a repeater. The unusual appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Although Liu Zhang is weak, he also has some contact with these murderous weapons, so he picked up the repeater very quickly.

"Your Excellency, do you want to try it on campus?" Wu Yi's face showed a thoughtful look, wanting to see if this repeater was as powerful as Liu Chong's battle report said.

"No, let's try it here." Liu Zhang shook his head, raised his hand to the wall next to him, and pulled the trigger.

The arrow shot out without accident, and the force made the entire iron arrow nail into the city wall. However, Liu Zhang's expression at this time was quite natural.

Because for a crossbow arrow, this bit of power is a matter of course.

But the next moment, Liu Zhang's complexion changed. Because, when he pulled the trigger again, as Liu Debt's battle report said, he could fire iron arrows one after another.

Liu Zhang pulled the trigger again and again, and did not stop until he had fired all the iron arrows in the magazine.

"Don't compete with them outside the city." Not only did Liu Zhang seem to be depressed, but even Huang Quan's face changed, and after a moment, he sighed.

Wu Yi and the others couldn't help but sigh.

Even Zhang Song, who had seen the power of the repeater, ......" and Fa Zheng, who had heard Zhang Song mention it with his own ears, couldn't help but feel sorry for this repeater again.

A Chu State crossbow almost made the high-level officials of Shu State collectively lose their voices.

It's powerful.

"Outside the city, don't compete with it."

Huang Quan's words are the words that most reflect the prestige of the current Chu army.

There are fierce generals, fierce soldiers, Chu knives, and crossbows. It's just like a rainbow, what do they use to fight Kou Feng in Yizhou except for the city?

"Your Majesty, the power of this repeating crossbow now proves that what Liu Debt said is true. The reason why General Zhang was defeated was not because he underestimated the enemy, but because the Chu army had too many methods, which caught General Zhang off guard.

So, General Zhang? However, Zheng Du soon pleaded.

Now is not the time to shock the power of the repeater, how to keep Zhang Ren and Yizhou is a big deal.

"No matter what, if you go out of the city easily and fight, you will underestimate the enemy. However, Gu Nian is now in danger, and Zhang Ren is quite capable, so he will temporarily write down the defeat of this battle. Liu Zhang pondered for a moment and said. He wasn't too rigid, and he found a step for himself.

"Your Excellency is wise." Zheng Du and Huang Quan were all overjoyed and said.

"But now in Fuling City, the loss of soldiers will be generals. I'm afraid I can't stop it, do you want to send more soldiers to the south? Immediately, Liu Zhang asked.

"Now the north is very empty, if Zhang Lu comes to attack, we are reluctant, if we transfer troops again, I'm afraid." Huang Quan replied with a difficult face.

Zhang was also embarrassed suddenly, although Kou Feng was a big enemy, but Zhang Lu was not a small thing. If it is a robbery by fire, it is indeed not good.

At this moment, Fa Zheng, who usually didn't say a word, like a candle, suddenly said coldly: "Your Excellency has forgotten that Deyang still has a fleet of soldiers and horses, which is just enough to supplement General Zhang Ren's losses." ”

"Mengda?" After Fa Zheng's reminder, Liu Zhang's mind suddenly had some impressions and said.

"Exactly." Fa Zheng nodded and said.

"Your Majesty. Although the soldiers can be supplemented by Meng Da's, the loss of morale of General Zhang is difficult to make up. If the king can come to the front line in person, it will definitely boost the morale of our army. Zheng Du also made a suggestion on the side.

Zhang's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. He is not Kou Feng, Cao Cao, Sun Ce, these people, one by one, can lead troops to kill the enemy, and can govern the world.

"Your Majesty." At this time, Zhang Song paid a visit, and then took the opportunity to say: "Although the king has now called the feudal state, the Yizhou assassin Bijing is still there. The minister can go to the front line on behalf of the lord to boost morale. ”

Just now, Fa Zheng had already recommended Meng Da to go. When the time comes, the front line will inevitably change dramatically. If he stayed in Chengdu with Fa Zheng, he would definitely suffer.

At this time, Zhang Song has also begun to arrange the back road.

"The minister is also willing to make a modest contribution." Fa Zheng also said on the side.

"Good. The two Aiqing are commendable for their loyalty. Liu Zhang was hesitant, but this time he was overjoyed, and immediately applauded.

Immediately, it was immediately ordered that Zhang Song and Fa Zheng would lead 5,000 troops together with Meng Da, and carry Zhang Ren of Fuling.! ~！
