Outside the city of Zitong. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhang Ren, Huang Quan, and Pang Xi confronted each other, and no one refused to give a step.

Although they accused each other of being treacherous, they both exercised restraint and neither of them was the first to attack.

Even if Huang Quan took out Liu Zhang's order for them to rush to Chengdu, Zhang Ren still refused to let them pass through Zitong on the grounds that he had not received the order to let them go. Not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if they are really rebellious, wouldn't they be a tiger returning to the mountain?

On the first day, the two sides spent time in a standoff.

In the next few days, Huang Quan repeatedly asked Zhang Ren to go out of the city to speak, wanting Zhang Ren to let them pass. His requests were rejected by Zhang Ren without exception.

However, Zhang Ren was not an inflexible person, and he told Huang Quan that he had reported the matter to the lord of Chengdu. As long as the lord agrees to let them return to Chengdu, he will definitely let them go immediately, and he will apologize to Huang Quan and Pang Xi in person.

Although Huang Quan and Pang Xi were worried about the situation in Chengdu, they were helpless against the stubborn Zhang Ren. If they force their way through, it is very likely that their political opponents will seize the opportunity and be charged with defecting to the enemy and rebelling.

At the same time, Zhang Song, who was still stationed in the Sword Pavilion, used his identity as a messenger many times to take Pang De, Ma Dai, and more than a dozen elite soldiers into the Sword Pavilion through hanging baskets. Immediately afterwards, he feasted the remaining generals defending the city and brought them all under control.

Zhang Song looked at the guards who were tied up and tried his best to persuade them to surrender.

"Everyone, Yizhou can't hold it anymore. Huang Quan and Pang Xi had already abandoned the Sword Pavilion and returned to Chengdu to transfer their property. There is only one way for you to stay here, so it is better to surrender as soon as possible. ”

"Zhang Song, you rebellious person, I will not surrender to the death!" One of the generals rebuked angrily.

Of the remaining generals, only two chimed in, and the rest were silent, apparently considering whether to surrender or not.

Zhang Song ordered people to cut down those who refused to surrender, and continued to persuade: "I tell you the truth, General Chen's army has approached Chengdu. Even in the city of Chengdu, there are many internal responses. As long as General Chen gives an order, Chengdu can break it.

It doesn't matter if you want to accompany Liu Zhang to the funeral, but you always have to think about your family and children. If they lose their support, how will they live in the future? ”

The eyes of several generals flickered, and they were visibly shaken.

Zhang Song continued: "What are we living for? Isn't it to make life better for your family? Everyone has surrendered, but they have changed their lords, and life can still go on?

Besides, even the old general Yan of Ba County has already surrendered in Kaicheng. We, the little officials and generals, what is it to surrender to General Chen? This is not a shameful thing for those who know the times to be handsome. ”

"I, I surrender." Said one of the generals.

"Lao Tzu hasn't lived enough, surrender and surrender." Another general also surrendered.

Under the leadership of the two, the remaining generals surrendered one after another, saying that they would be loyal to Chen Xu in the future.

With their cooperation, Ma Dai and Pang De successfully took over the army of the Sword Pavilion, and immediately ordered to clear the boulders blocking the city gate and enlarge the army to enter the pass.

Two days later, Chen Xu received news from Yusaka: all the guards of the Sword Pavilion had surrendered, and Zhang Liao and Li Jing had led a large army to Chengdu.

Chen Xu stretched out comfortably, "Qianxin, Lingqi, quickly prepare the army, the army will start early tomorrow morning, and attack Chengdu together with Zhang Liao and Li Jing!" ”

"Yes, my lord!"

The two immediately became excited, quickly ran to the barracks, and began to prepare the army in an orderly manner and prepare for the march of the army.

Chen Xu found Yan Yan, who was dealing with official business, "Old General Yan, the matter of Jiangzhou and Ba County, please leave it to you." Don't worry, I'll try to kill as little as possible and promise not to hurt Liu Zhang's life. ”

Yan Yan's eyes were gloomy, "Alas, is Yizhou finally going to fall into your hands?" Well, as long as you can ensure that the people will not suffer from the war, I will promise you to defend Ba County. However, if you break your promise and hurt the life of the lord, the old man will never let you go! ”

"General Yan, rest assured, for those who are not a threat, I will not kill the killer."

"It's for the best. The old man still has official business to deal with, so if it's okay, please go back. ”

Chen Xu was extremely depressed, how could these old men be a virtuous person? I'm your lord anyway, how can I use this tone to talk to my lord?

……

Outside the city of Zitong.

Huang Quan and Pang Xi couldn't wait to receive Liu Zhang's order, and finally decided to bypass Zitong and forcibly break through Zhang Ren's defense area and return to Chengdu. When Zhang Ren learned of the situation, he immediately led his army to intercept it.

The two sides finally fought.

When it comes to being officials and attacking political enemies, Huang Quan and Pang Xi's abilities are much higher than Zhang Ren's. But when it came to leading troops to fight, the two checked Zhang Ren more than a half. Less than two hours had passed, and they had been crushed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two gathered the pro-guard troops together and prepared to take advantage of the chaos to break through.

At this moment, a cavalry of about 10,000 people arrived in the rear.

The first general shouted: "General Huang and General Pang are not in a hurry, Ma Dai came to support on the orders of General Zhang and Li Dashuai." Zhang Ren, Chengdu has been surrounded by a large army led by my lord, and you are still captured! ”

Ma Dai led the newly subdued Yizhou cavalry and launched an assault on Zhang Ren's department.

Zhang Ren saw the smoke and dust billowing behind the cavalry, and it seemed that a large number of troops were coming quickly. He immediately ordered the troops to retreat in formation, and he himself led a part of the soldiers to take charge of the rear of the palace.

"Huang Quan, Pang Xi, you really rebelled!"

Huang Quan and Pang Xi also understood at this time, they were put together, and no one would believe what they said now. They were being guarded by Ma Dai's personal guards, and they were "invited" to the rear of the army to meet Li Jing, the commander of the vanguard army.

Li Jing greeted them with a smile, took their hands enthusiastically, and said in front of countless Yuan Yizhou troops: "Don't worry about the two generals, it's just a small defeat." This little thing is not worth mentioning at all compared to the credit you made for the Sword Pavilion. ”

Huang Quan and Pang Xi saw the opportunity very quickly, and hurriedly cooperated: "Ashamed, ashamed, we failed to take Zitong, and please forgive the marshal." ”

Li Jing nodded with satisfaction, these two people really said the same as Zhang Song, they are both people who are very knowledgeable about current affairs.

"The two generals have worked hard. Come on, please go down and rest, don't slack off! ”

"Yes, Marshal." Several guards immediately stepped forward and led Huang Quan and Pang Xi down to rest.

After Li Jing saw Huang Quan and Pang Xi, he immediately led the army to continue to advance.

Zitong, the last barrier in the north of Chengdu, is close at hand.
