The army led by Zhuge Liang was still retreating, and in the end, Zhang Ren finally got his wish and landed at the Falling Bird Pass. Just stopped the soldiers and horses, ready to rest for a while, but heard the rumbling of drums around them, countless torches lit, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong each led a large army, which appeared in the four directions of front, back, left and right.

"Zhang Ren, don't descend at this time, but when!" Zhuge Liang shouted loudly under the Falling Bird Pass.

"How can a loyal minister serve the two masters?" Zhang Ren shouted angrily, and then, he commanded the army and continued to rush towards the Falling Bird Pass.

Zhuge Liang sighed lightly, waved his hand back, and the overwhelming rain of arrows immediately rushed towards Zhang Ren's army, among which there were even powerful crossbow arrows with a very long range.

The platoon of soldiers who rushed in front died instantly, and the soldiers who rushed forward afterwards could not take half a step under the pressure of their bows and arrows.

The shouts of killing all around shook the sky, and the psychological pressure generated by Zhang Ren's army was extremely great, and the victory or defeat was basically a certainty, and many soldiers even appeared in fear.

Zhang Ren was so angry that his face turned the color of pig liver, and he kicked, beat and scolded in the back, the effect was not good, and he wanted to kill a few to vent his anger. Of course, you can't do that, otherwise you can only speed up the process of failure, and for today's plan, you can only take the lead, so Zhang Ren rushed down from the gate with a big knife.

"General Zhang Ren, don't be obsessed anymore!" The veteran Yan Yan shouted loudly.

"Old horseman, Xichuan is lost, all because of a traitor like you!" Zhang Ren scolded as he swept away the arrows that came from him.

"General, can you hear me a little bit more?" Yan Yan shouted again unwillingly.

"Shut up, see if I don't kill you with my own hands!" Zhang Ren's eyes were on fire.

Yan Yan let out a long sigh, and then retreated to the back, he had already expected that Zhang Ren would definitely die today.

Just when Zhang Ren was rushing all the way and was about to approach Zhuge Liang, a white horse suddenly rushed diagonally, a general in silver helmet and silver armor, holding a silver spear, majestic, blocking his way, it was Ma Chao.

"Ma Chao, you will vote for Zhang Lu first, and then vote for Liu Bei, what is the difference between it and Lu Bu?" Zhang Ren scolded disdainfully.

"Nameless junior, An dares to insult me like this!" Ma Chao was furious, urged the horse to step forward, shook the silver gun, and went straight to Zhang Ren's chest.

Zhang Ren was completely unafraid, and swung his knife to meet Ma Chao's silver spear, the sound was deafening, and sparks were everywhere. Ma Chao withdrew the silver spear, jumped up, and the silver spear turned into a point of light in the sky, and went towards Zhang Ren's package again.

How could Zhang Ren be Ma Chao's opponent, and he couldn't tell the difference between reality and fiction, but instead of dodging, he took out a desperate posture, raised his big knife high, and slashed Ma Chao directly.

Ma Chao was secretly frightened, and just wanted to withdraw the silver gun, but he heard the sound of a bow behind him, and the veteran Yan Yan grabbed a soldier's strong crossbow and shot an arrow at Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren was caught off guard, was shot through the chest by an arrow, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and the big knife fell to the ground with a bang, and he died on the spot in an instant.

To everyone's shock, the dead Zhang Ren did not fall off the horse, he was still sitting on the horse, his legs tightly clamping the horse's belly, and the hand that supported the knife was still pointing forward, with infinite unwillingness.

Ma Chao glanced at Yan Yan dissatisfied, a level like Zhang Ren and himself are not a heavyweight at all, and they can be captured or killed freely, do you need to do this extra move?

"Yan Yan, who asked you to release the arrow?" Zhuge Liang's face was also cold, and he asked sharply.

"Strategist, Yan Yan's move is only to remember the feelings of the past and fulfill Zhang Ren's loyalty." Yan Yan fell to his knees on one knee, tears already appearing in his eyes.

Zhuge Liang originally wanted Ma Chaosheng to capture Zhang Ren and persuade this loyal man to follow Liu Bei, but he didn't expect Yan Yan to kill Zhang Ren, so he was a little annoyed. In the end, he still did not punish Yan Yan, and ordered Zhang Ren to be buried and built a monument for him.

The lord was killed, surrounded on all sides, and the army led by Zhang Ren immediately surrendered. Zhuge Liang ordered the army to attack the city overnight, and when he heard that Zhang Ren had been killed, Liu Zhang's son Liu Xun immediately fled out of the city and returned to Chengdu. The two generals Zhuo Ying and Zhang Yi, who defended the city, did not resist, opened the city gates, and surrendered Liu Bei's army.

Zhuge Liang left Zhang Fei to defend the city and continued to lead everyone to fight Mianzhu, at this time, the total number of Liu Bei's army had exceeded 200,000, and the momentum was fierce and unstoppable. Fei Guan and Li Yan of Mianzhu, seeing that the city in front of them had been lost, and hearing that Zhang Ren was dead, and that they could not win at all if they continued to fight, they surrendered Kaicheng very interestingly.

Successful persuasion and surrender are completely two different concepts, and Zhuge Liang has never been optimistic about the latter. But Liu Bei was very happy, and he surrendered the soldiers without a fight, and he made a strategy! In particular, Li Yan, who admired both civil and military affairs, immediately named Li Yan as Mianzhu Taishou to show his trust in him.

Zhuge Liang didn't have time to stop it, but he still found Liu Bei afterwards and said: "Lord, Li Yan is a new general, and he can't be reused." ”

"Li Yan's surrender saved many lives from suffering, and the contribution was great. The military advisor is worried that Li Yan is not sincere in surrendering? Liu Bei said.

"Definitely. I heard that during his tenure as the county magistrate, he built a big house for private use, and he was arrogant and self-respecting, and there were many complaints from below. Zhuge Liang said worriedly.

"If a person is not a saint or a sage, he can do nothing, and the military teacher can teach a lot." Liu Bei made up his mind and didn't listen to Zhuge Liang's words.

"Lord ......"

"I have promised in public, if I deny it, will I not be dishonest with the public? I know that the military advisor is cautious, and I ask the military advisor to consider it for me. Liu Bei spoke truthfully, and Zhuge Liang had to keep his mouth shut.

Later, Li Yan often sent Liu Bei some carefully prepared small gifts, which won Liu Bei's favor and gradually became an important figure not inferior to Zhuge Liang.

Ruocheng and Mianzhu have been taken, and the army rushed all the way to Chengdu. Ma Chao took the initiative to ask for his life as a pioneer, Liu Bei readily agreed, and half a month later, Ma Chao came to the city of Chengdu.

The entire Xichuan has been lost, and Liu Zhang's heart is desolate, as if he feels that the end has come, and he regrets it too late, and he can't live in fear.

The pioneer general is the famous Ma Chao. When many people heard this name, they were stunned and thought of surrendering.

Liu Zhang had a strip of cloth wrapped around his head, his face was pale, and he said weakly as if he was seriously ill: "I don't want Liu Bei's army to be like a god and break through my city one after another." Hey, I misbelieved Liu Bei, led the wolf into the house, fought for many years, and the lives were ruined, all of which were my own crimes. ”

After Liu Zhang's tears fell, and there was even more crying below, persuading Liu Zhang to open more. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the war is changing rapidly, and it is not impossible to turn things around.

Liu Zhang nodded, and asked with teary eyes: "Everyone, Chengdu is in danger, but how can it be good?" ”

"Lord, the grain and grass in the city have no worries for three years, and the current plan is to let the army and the people defend the city together. Liu Bei is cherishing his name, and he will not be able to attack the city. Zheng Du said again.
