Chapter 373 Scraping Bone to Cure Poison
Zhang Ren didn't care to answer and shouted: "Elder Master, leave quickly, it's too late to explain!"
"I can't believe it, I can't believe that a guy like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes has also rebelled, bah!" Liu Xun cursed loudly and led his troops to retreat in a hurry.
The ambush outside the city was none other than Kou Feng. After Zhao Yun captured Guanghan, he led his troops to join Kou Feng. Liu Qi asked them to return to Fushui Pass to wait for orders.
Yesterday, Wu Yi was lured to rob the grain, and Kou Feng lay in ambush on the way to prevent any deserters from reporting back to the camp. After the Shu army surrendered, he sent out a signal on the mountain and came to rob the camp at night.
The soldiers outside the city attacked in two groups, but it was a bluff to attract the attention of the defenders. The defenders inside the city were the main force. Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, and Lei Tong each led their troops to fight out, and they cooperated with each other inside and outside.
The morale of the Shu army was low, and there was no general to command them. They were leaderless and unable to save each other. The three major camps were scattered, and the northern camp was in chaos without attacking, and each of them fled.
Liu Xun and Huang Quan led their troops to break through the encirclement, but when they encountered Kou Feng outflanking them, Huang Quan hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, while Liu Xun fled alone.
The drums were beating loudly on the city, and the shouts of killing from all sides were loud. Zhang Ren silently mounted his horse, stood in front of the Chinese army tent with his gun drawn, looking like a rock standing against the current among the fleeing rebels, with an indifferent expression.
Zhang Fei led his troops to attack first, and when he saw Zhang Ren, he came to attack him without saying a word. Zhang Ren raised his gun to meet him, and it was a unique move that would hurt both sides. He was brave and not afraid of death.
"Are you crazy?" Zhang Fei raised his spear to hold Zhang Ren, but was shocked by his desperate posture.
Zhang Ren said coldly: "A certain person has been slandered by Liu Qi many times and is jealous of the Lord. The only way to prove his ambition is to die!"
"Stupid!" Zhang Fei cursed: "A good minister chooses his master. If you don't understand this principle, why don't I sit down and have a good chat with you?"
"How can a loyal minister interfere with the two masters? Look at the gun -" Zhang Ren roared angrily, drew his gun and stabbed Zhang Fei in the chest.
"You are so stupid and loyal!" Zhang Fei was also aroused with fighting spirit, his eyes widened: "I can't hold you today, I will take your surname!"
Here Zhang Fei and Zhang Ren fought alone, leaving only Yan Yunqi to guard the surrounding area. Chen Dao and other generals killed the Shu army and led their troops to pursue Liu Xun, heading straight to Mianzhu Pass.
Liu Xun had never suffered a defeat before. At this time, he was so flustered that he only wanted to escape for his life. He didn't care about dividing his troops to intercept the pursuers, so he galloped to the foot of Mianzhu Pass with his horse.
At this time, the sky was dim, and I saw the closed flag fluttering. Before I could see the flag clearly, I stepped forward and shouted to open the door.
I saw a general coming out proudly from the top of the city, pressing his sword and shouting loudly: "I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan, and I have already been ordered by the general of chariots and cavalry to win this pass!"
"What?" Liu Xun was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse and asked in surprise: "Where is the guard Zhuo Ying?"
Wu Yi suddenly stood up from the city and laughed loudly: "General Zhuo abandoned the dark and surrendered to the light. I have persuaded him to surrender!"
"Uncle...Wu Yi, you...you are so bold!" Liu Xun was stunned, wondering how Wu Yi, who was going to rob grain, suddenly arrived at Mianzhu Pass.
Wu Yi said coldly: "You know very well how your father and son bullied your third uncle and how they suppressed my Wu family in order to protect their position. Since Liu Zhang does not believe in me, he had no choice but to join the Ming Dynasty."
Liu Xun was so angry that he was shaking all over. In extreme panic and anger, he felt his ears roaring, his vision turned black, and he was about to faint. At this time, Chen Dao also arrived from behind with his pursuers.
With the sound of a drum, Zhao Yun led his troops out of the pass, blocked Liu Xun's remaining soldiers on the mountain road in front of the pass, and said with cupped fists: "General Liu has already told me that the two families are from the same clan, so there is no need to kill each other. Why don't you go to the pass first?"
Rest and wait for General Liu to come and meet you?"
Liu Xun saw that the troops in front and behind were neatly armored and full of murderous intent. Knowing that resistance was futile, he sighed lightly and dismounted and put down his weapons.
Zhao Yun stepped forward to welcome Liu Xun into the city and did not treat him as a prisoner. This made the nervous Shu army relax a lot and followed him into the pass.
Outside Fucheng, Huang Quan was defeated by Kou Feng, and Zhang Ren was also defeated by Zhang Fei. They captured both of them alive. One bowed his head and said nothing, and the other cursed loudly.
Liu Qi first escorted Huang Quan and said: "I am marching this time just to join the imperial troops as soon as possible to fight against rebellion and eliminate violence. Sir, you are a wise man. You don't need me to say more, right?"
Huang Quan sighed: "I was ordered by my late lord to assist Liu Mu. Now that the situation in Yizhou is over, I can't protect the territory. I have a heavy trust and feel ashamed. How can I have the face to serve the court again?"
Liu Qi smiled and said: "I know that you are a loyal minister, but now the king's gang is weak, and someone is following the emperor's edict to fight against the rebellion of the Han Dynasty. It is the time when everyone is making great contributions. Liu Zhang and his son are not enough to protect the land, let alone help the court? Mr. Wang is a minister of the Han Dynasty.
, you should be loyal to the Han Dynasty, not Liu Zhang and his son."
Huang Quan was silent for a moment, clasped his fists and said: "I am willing to listen to the general's orders, but I am ashamed of Liu Jiyu and his son. I just ask not to meet them again."
"What's so difficult about this?" Liu Qi was overjoyed and untied Huang Quan, "Now Jiangzhou is short of people to govern. If you, sir, have the talent for civil and military affairs, you can guard this place and carry out the important task of connecting Bachu. I have to leave it to you!"
Huang Quan thanked Huang Quan, and Liu Qi ordered his people to send him back to Fucheng to rest, and then choose a day to go to Jiangzhou to take office. Although Jiangzhou is no longer a frontline, this strategic location still needs to be strengthened.
After seeing Huang Quan off, Liu Qi asked: "How is Zhang Ren's condition?"
Kou Feng smiled bitterly and said: "I quarreled with General Zhang for a while. I was tired and fainted, but I refused to surrender!"
Liu Qi sighed and ordered him to be brought in. He saw Zhang Ren with disheveled hair and red eyes, glaring at Liu Qi fiercely like a ferocious beast.
Zhang Fei shouted: "You haven't kneeled down when you saw the eldest son?"
Zhang Ren gritted his teeth and said: "In my heart, there is only one eldest son—that is Liu Xun!"
Liu Qi frowned and said: "The general is a minister of the Han Dynasty. If he speaks like this, doesn't he become the general of Liu Zhang and his son?"
Zhang Ren roared: "My dear Liu Qi, no matter what you say, I only know that a loyal minister will not harm the two masters and would rather die than surrender!"
Liu Qi walked up to Zhang Ren, raised his hands to the north and said: "The general is loyal and admirable, but I serve the emperor equally, how can I talk about two masters? To be loyal to only one master is foolish loyalty, to the emperor, to the Han Dynasty
, is the great righteousness. The general has civil and military talents and is a good minister to prosper the Han Dynasty. Why should he show off the courage of an ordinary man?"
"Hahaha, what a generous word!" Zhang Ren laughed hoarsely and gritted his teeth: "You have repeatedly used tricks to slander me, alienate the relationship between my monarch and my ministers, and destroy my reputation for the rest of my life. You and I are incompatible with each other!"
Liu Qi sighed: "I have worked so hard because I cherish the talents of generals. I can't bear to have a general buried in Xichuan. I even want to see generals roaming the Central Plains and supporting the Han Dynasty!"
Zhang Fei also snorted: "Zhang Ren, you don't want a dog to sit in a sedan chair - you don't know how to show respect. The eldest son has never treated me, Lao Zhang, so carefully!"
"Bah!" Zhang Ren scolded angrily: "You are trying to seize the opportunity to invade our state and county, but you are so high-sounding that you want me to recognize the thief as my father. Don't even think about it!"
Zhang Fei was furious, rolled up his sleeves and shouted: "How come the Zhang family has a tough guy like you? You are more stubborn than the donkey in my family. If you can't shout, you have to use a whip!"
Liu Qi stopped Zhang Fei and persuaded him again: "Is there any land in the world that is not a royal land? Yizhou was originally the country of the Han Dynasty. Regardless of this, after Liu Zhang and I were both kings of Lu Gong, it is not considered a betrayal for you to help me prosper the Han Dynasty."
