Cheng Ying took advantage of Duan Dahu's failure to take Hanzhong and personally conquered it as soon as possible, but Zhang Lu was still there, and one mountain could not accommodate two tigers, so he could take this opportunity to kill Zhang Lu, so as not to hinder the prime minister everywhere. With-Dream- . lā”

Cao Cao nodded and said: "You are right, if Zhang Lu asked me for help the day before yesterday, I personally led the army to pacify Hanzhong, and then Tuba and Shu due to the situation, I am afraid that there will not be so many incidents at this moment." ”

Saying that, everyone discussed and decided, Cao Cao's soldiers divided into three ways to let Xiahou Dun be the front army, Cao Cao himself was the middle army, and Cao Xiu was the rear army, raising 400,000 troops, and went straight to Hanzhong to kill.

Not long after, when the army arrived at the place of Cao Hong in Nanzheng, Cao Cao personally sent a messenger to Hanning, asking Zhang Lu to come to greet him in person, and the messenger did not dare to delay the starry night to go to Hanning to report to Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu was so angry that he was furious in the mansion, and said angrily: "Okay, you Cao Cao, the army is raised by me in Hanzhong, not to mention the defeat, this time I even have to go to meet it in person, what a big shelf!"

Yang Song on the side hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, Cao Cao led an army of 400,000 to our Hanzhong in a menacing manner, nominally to help us, in fact, we have a slight disappointment, we are afraid that it will be us who will die, my lord, Cao Cao I is powerful, let's be careful, don't disobey Cao Cao's wishes, otherwise in an instant, we will die without a place to bury." ”

"Is it so powerful?Cao Cao, did he really dare to take my life?" Zhang Lu seemed to be a little unconvinced.

"The identity and status of the lord are better than those of the lord, how is Dong Cheng?" Yang Song couldn't help asking.

"These two are the emperors of the current Han Dynasty, and their families are illustrious," Zhang Lu said.

"The lord just knows this, even if the two of them have a prominent status, Cao Cao still said that he would kill them if he killed them," Yang Song couldn't help but remind.

One sentence struck Zhang Lu's heart, and Zhang Lu stumbled under his feet.

"Hurry up" Zhang Lu was bluffed by Yang Song and was already incoherent: "Prepare a car for me, go to Nanzheng to meet Cao Cao"

In Zhang Lu's heart, there have always been two things that he can't face no matter what, one is to lose Hanzhong and the inheritance left to him by his ancestors, and the other is to lose his life, and there is no way to take away everything he once had.

Outside the city of Nanzheng, there are many flags, Cao Cao rides on a horse, carries a sword that leans on the sky, stretches his neck and looks into the distance, and sees a group of people and horses turning out of the back of the mountain not far away, under the big banner of the word "Zhang", in a car frame, Zhang Lu sits in it.

Cao Cao waved his hand, the war drums were pounding, and the whining horn suddenly sounded, Zhang Lu saw Cao Cao's military appearance, swords and guns, and the chill of Xiao Kill forced Zhang Lu to tremble.

Zhang Lu saw Cao Cao waiting in front, ordered the frame to rush to Cao Cao's array, forcibly restrained his legs that wanted to tremble, got out of the car, his legs trembled and almost fell, Pang De and Yang Song on the side hurriedly supported him, passed through the tiger and leopard riding with swords and guns, and came straight to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao sat on the horse, looking at Zhang Lu from above, like an omnipotent creator, looking at the people of the world. Without waiting for Cao Cao to speak, Yang Xiu on the side said angrily: "Bold Zhang Lu, don't you kneel down when you see the prime minister today?"

Zhang Lu is also the current vassal king, and in terms of the size of the official position, it is not Zhang Lu's turn to kneel and salute Cao Cao.

"My lord inherited the land of Hanzhong, and he also belonged to the princes of one side, although Cao Cao was the prime minister, how could he be respected by my lord!"

I saw Pang De clutching the sword at his waist and glaring angrily at Cao Cao. Everyone knows Pang De, especially Xu Huang, who still remembers the battle in Tongguan that year.

Cao Cao looked at Pang De, his eyes flashed with the strange light of the master of ceremonies, and suddenly he only heard Cao Cao say in a deep voice: "It's all tied up for me." ”

In one sentence, Zhang Lu, Yang Song, and his entourage were stunned, and they never imagined that Cao Cao would suddenly attack, which was really unexpected by Zhang Lu.

Cao Cao gave an order, a large number of tigers and leopards rode down, and dozens of people, including Zhang Lu, Pang De pulled out the sword on his waist, and still had to resist stubbornly, who knew that Cao Cao's tiger and leopard riders were all some men wearing heavy armor and agile skills, Pang De's sword could not pierce, and his palm could not be pushed.

Several tigers and leopards rode forward and surrounded the core, and after a few laps around Pound, Pound was entangled in a dumpling by the iron rope, and he couldn't move at all.

"Cao Cao, what are you going to do? you dare to kill me," Zhang Lu roared.

"Escort him back to Xudu and wait for his fate. Cao Cao said.

"Yes. The tiger and leopard rider under his command responded.

Zhang Luwan never expected that he was careful not to touch Cao Cao's reverse scales, but in the end, he still fell into Cao Cao's hands, and was carried down by several tigers and leopards, and he scolded more than once.

Seeing Zhang Lu's appearance, Yang Song was already trembling with fright, knelt on the ground, and knocked his head like pounding garlic, "Prime Minister, if the Prime Minister does not dislike it, his subordinates are willing to saddle the horse for the Prime Minister, and what is the matter with death." ”

"What do you want to die?" Yang Song was so frightened that he was incoherent, and Cao Cao glanced at Yang Song with disdain: "Such people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, traitors who seek glory, how can they make a career under my account, cut it!"

"Yes, Prime Minister. Xu Chu on the side received Cao Cao's order, waved his big hand, several tigers and leopards rode on Yang Song, and the mournful voice of begging for mercy echoed in Cao Cao's ears from time to time, and a violent scream came out, followed by the whole world was quiet.

Cao Cao got off the horse, and the tiger and leopard rider next to Pang De spontaneously made way for Cao Cao, only to see Pang De glaring at Cao Cao, Cao Cao personally untied the rope on Pang De's body, and said with a smile: "The general is not harmed?"

Pang De glared angrily: "Han thief, you hurt my old master, make it difficult for me to return to my home, and it is difficult to reach my ambitions, although I die today, I still want to kill you under Jiuquan." ”

Cao Cao said: "Whether you believe it or not, the death of your old lord has nothing to do with me." Cao Cao said word by word, and Pang De was not allowed to doubt it.

Hearing Cao Cao say this, seeing Cao Cao's expression, it didn't seem to be fake, and I believed half of it in my heart.

"Today is under my account, can you descend to me? You say that it is difficult to return home? Xiliang is outside the valley, you can go home at any time, you say that it is difficult to reach your ambitions, I will give you a platform to display your ambitions. I only hope to join hands with the general to calm the world and find out the real murderer of General Ma Teng. Cao Cao said.

Pang De saw that Cao Cao said it sincerely, and thought that except for Ma Teng back then, no one had said such affectionate words to himself. After thinking for a long time, he knelt on the ground with a "poof" and kowtowed to Cao Cao three times.

"Lord!"
