Chapter 52: Dou Zhang Rensu will die
Zhang Ren's design defeated the Jingzhou military horse, and he was overjoyed, and he didn't see Zhao Shu for many days, and he was even more happy to avenge the three friends. Liu Bei lost two strategists in a row, and reinforcements from Chengdu arrived, so he asked his son Liu Xun to fight Liu Bei with the general Wu Yi. Liu Bei was demoralized due to the new defeat of the army and retreated to Fushui Pass. Zhang Ren'er General has been reluctant, rushed to kill, and could not challenge for several days, and drove the cloud ladder and flew the lock to attack the coming day, but Liu Bei defended the law, injured the soldiers in vain, and worked in vain. Zhang Ren had no choice but to give up and return to the camp, but he wanted to have plenty of food and grass, but the Jingzhou army had no food and grass supply, so who could afford to consume it in the end?
Liu Bei's army and horses did not fight for many days, and when most of the Sichuan army was relaxed, someone came to report that Wei Yan led the army out of the customs to challenge. Although Zhang Ren felt suspicious, he refused to show weakness and personally led the army to kill. The two formations were in a circle, Zhang Ren stepped out of the horse and scolded loudly: "Wei Yan Pifu, the turtle has shrunk in the pass for many days." How dare you come to death today? Wei Yan didn't answer, and waved his knife to take Zhang Ren directly. The two generals fought for dozens of rounds, and Wei Yan gradually lost his opponent, pulling out his horse and retreating from Guanzhong. Zhang Ren waved his army to cover up and kill, and the Sichuan army won a big victory.
On the second day, Guan Shang changed Huang Zhong to fight, but he was still defeated by Zhang Ren and won again. After Zhang Ren returned to the camp, all the generals on the left and right were puzzled, and Wu Yinai said: "Wei Yan and Huang Zhong are both tiger generals in the world, and they were defeated in two days of battle with the generals, could it be a deception?" ”
Zhang Ren laughed and said: "This must be Liu Bei's plan, but how can you hide it from me?" Wu Yi was puzzled and asked, "Please also ask the general to make it clear." Zhang Ren then replied: "A certain view of Liu Bei wants to retreat." The Jingzhou army did not come out for several days, but it took the initiative to fight in the past two days, and retreated as soon as it touched the battle. This must be Liu Bei's food and want to retreat, but he is afraid that our army will pursue. Wu Yi was convinced, and asked, "How will it be broken?" Zhang Ren immediately said: "When we fight again in the coming day, we can order the soldiers to fight hard to take the pass, and we must capture Liu Bei alive, and we can't make him escape." And the generals went down as they were told, and every man went and prepared.
The next day, Zhang Ren and Wu Yi tried their best to kill the soldiers in the village and ran to the pass, but when they saw the flag flying on the pass, they did not see a single soldier. He ordered the soldiers to attack the pass, and when the vanguard soldiers climbed into the pass, they were already people who went to the pass, and there was no one. Zhang Ren couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's a pity that Liu Bei still ran away first." ”
Wu Yi said: "Liu Bei led the army to retreat sharply, and the soldiers have no heart to fight, so we can chase them with light horses and capture them in a battle." Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that there will be an ambush after the attack." Wu Yi said again: "The general leads the light cavalry in front, and a certain army is behind, and the horse is in the middle to deliver the news, why be afraid of ambushes?" And Liu Bei ran out of food and left, the army had no fighting spirit, if he waited for him to return to Jiameng and couldn't hold out, when would he be able to drive him out of Sichuan? Zhang Ren also felt that this plan was feasible, so he gladly responded, and led the elite light cavalry in front and Wu Yi in the back, and went out to chase Liu Bei.
Zhang Ren's cavalry chased out more than ten miles, and listened to the drums on both sides, and there were Biao troops on the left and right, and they regarded it as Guan Ping and Liu Feng's second general. Guan Ping stepped forward and shouted: "Zhang Ren rats, the plan of the lord of the middle and my lord." Zhang Ren sneered and replied: "I am not afraid of such a small skill of carving insects." "It was ordered that the whole army must not retreat, but can only rush forward and kill. The Sichuan army knew that there were reinforcements in the future, and although they were ambushed, they did not panic, and still formed a formation to tear and kill. After a short time, Wu Yi led a large group of men and horses to kill, and the Sichuan army became more vigorous. Guan Ping and Liu Feng couldn't resist the enemy, so they had to lead the army to retreat.
Zhang Ren and Wu Yi were in hot pursuit, and after a few miles, they saw a group of men and horses in front of them walking slowly, and the big book "Hanzuo General Liu" was written on the flag in the army. Zhang Ren was immediately overjoyed, and turned to Wu Yi and said: "Fortunately, according to the public words, Liu Bei will be captured alive today." "It is to urge the army to move forward.
When the Jingzhou army and horses saw Zhang Ren and others killing, they had no intention of resisting, and they broke up, discarding their weapons on the road, and carrying countless flags. The Sichuan army was attached to the ground and looted, refusing to come forward to chase and kill. Zhang Ren also knew that it was Liu Bei's plan to slow down the enemy, so he shouted with a gun: "The generals will strive forward, and there will be a heavy reward for capturing Liu Bei alive." But there were those who gathered the armoury of the earth, and they were slain on the spot. "The military order is like a mountain, so the Sichuan army does not dare to take anything without permission, and they all move forward together.
After turning a few road intersections, the grass and trees on the side of the road were thick, and the terrain was steep, Zhang Ren was very puzzled, and was about to restrain the military horses, but he heard the sound of drums loudly, and countless rockets were fired left and right. The grass and trees were already covered with something that ignited the fire, but once it was ignited, the smoke billowed and the fire swelled. Zhang Renzhi was in the middle of the plan, but he was about to retire, but it was too late. In front, Wei Yan led the army to block, and Huang Zhong led people to rob and kill in the back, and the Sichuan army did not come out of the conflict, and most of them were burned to the ground, with countless casualties.
Liu Bei climbed high and looked, and when he saw Zhang Renzhong's plan, he smiled and said to Zhao Shu: "The plan of Jingwei is unpredictable, and today I will definitely be able to avenge Shiyuan." Zhao Shu didn't want Zhang Ren to die, and there were still many doubts to ask in his heart, so he said: "Zhang Ren is the first general in Xichuan, why doesn't the lord recruit him?" Liu Bei laughed again: "This fixed wish is also afraid that it will offend Jingwei, and I dare not say it." Zhao Shu hurriedly said: "Shu works for the lord, how can he abolish the public for his own sake?" Now if they can descend to the lord, they will have the friendship of comrades, and they dare not remember the old hatred. Liu Bei praised Zhao Shu a few more words, and then ordered someone to pass down the order, stop setting fires, and surrender loudly.
Zhang Ren saw the rocket stop in the army, and was about to order the whole army to break through, but he heard the other party loudly persuade him to surrender in Sichuan. The fire was still not extinguished, and many of the Sichuan troops abandoned their weapons and went to surrender. Wu Yi was beside Zhang Ren and said, "Now that the general trend has gone, where will the general go?" Zhang Ren had the intention of surrendering when he heard his words, and he was about to scold, but he thought that he had never thought about serving Liu Bei? It's just that now that he has a grudge, how can he descend again, won't he become a capricious villain?
Wu Yi saw that Zhang Ren was silent, and said that he had already agreed in his heart. It's just that he refuses to say it, so he persuades again: "The big husband can bend and rise, and the general's surrender is because he thinks about the lives of his subordinates, and others only praise the general's benevolence and righteousness." After Zhang Ren heard what he said, he laughed out loud, but immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Zhao Shu dares to come out for a while?" ”
Zhao Shu heard him calling his name from a distance, so he asked Liu Bei for his life and replied loudly: "Why does the general know that I am here?" I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed? Zhang Ren replied with a smile: "Who else is you left with such a strategy?" I can't kill you that day, and I won't be blind to death, but I have a word to tell you, 'If you do many injustices, you will kill yourself.'" One step ahead, under the Yellow Spring, waiting for you to come. With that, he turned his spear and stabbed himself under his horse.
