Chapter 183 Capture Hanzhong

In the hall, Meng Da frowned and paced back and forth. Zhang Song was not in a hurry, sitting aside and drinking on his own.

After a while, Meng Da suddenly turned around. At this time, he no longer had the look of a high-spirited general. Instead, he became very haggard, his eyes were swollen, his lips were a little white, and he was completely powerless.

"There is still something unknown. Can you please give me advice?"

Zhang Song seemed to be in a good mood: "But it's okay."

Meng Da swallowed his saliva and said, "Although the land of Sichuan and Shu is easy to defend but difficult to attack, Liu He now unified the north and is at its peak. It is only a matter of time before the annexation of Yi, Jing, Yang and the four states. Although Mr. holds a high position in Yizhou, it is reasonable for the long-term plan of the family to abandon darkness and turn to light, but..."

He looked up at Zhang Song and said, "But, why did you expect that the person who stayed in the city tonight would be me Meng Da? It should be noted that if Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and other Yizhou generals would never surrender with their nature. However, according to Mr.'s words and deeds, he was clearly prepared for it. I am extremely puzzled. Please explain this matter."

When Zhang Song heard this question, his expression suddenly became very proud. He raised his head and almost pointed his nostrils at Meng Da.

"What's the difficulty in this matter? Zhang Ren thought that the plan to ambush Zhang Liao was completed, and he could take advantage of the victory to pursue and seize the Wudu. When he made such a great contribution, he would have to take away his confidants with the army. But there was only General Meng in the army, and he had never been incompatible with them. If he didn't keep you to defend the city, who could he keep?"

Meng Da looked suddenly enlightened, and then his face changed, "Sir, I expected that you will surrender? If I capture you, the traitor, and leave it to Your Majesty, you will definitely be highly used. Wouldn't it be better?"

However, Zhang Song did not take his threat at all.

"Haha, if the general thinks that he will have a chance to escape from Hanzhong after doing this, then he can give it a try."

He reached out his hand and made a "please" gesture to Meng Da.

Seeing this, Meng Da suddenly felt suspicious.

At this moment, a soldier looked panicked and hurried over.

"General, something is not good... Outside the city... Suddenly a large group of enemy troops appeared..."

Meng Da's pupils instantly dilated and he walked over quickly: "Is Zhang Liao really back?"

The soldiers shook their heads: "It's not Zhang Liao... it's infantry, it's infantry... They brought dozens of heavy crossbows to break stones and set up formations outside the city gate, but they did not attack the city, but... they asked General, you go out of the city to meet..."

Meng Da's heart almost jumped out, looked back at Zhang Song, and saw that he was still drinking freely, he knew that all this was in their plan.

"Okay, I know, let me tell them first, and I will arrive immediately."

"Here."

After the soldiers left, Meng Da immediately turned around and knelt in front of Zhang Song.

"At the end, there will be no sight to recognize Mount Tai, please forgive me."

"Hahahaha..." Zhang Song was very proud, stood up and walked to him.

"Hey, the general doesn't have to do this. In the future, you and I will be colleagues of the Han Dynasty. Why should we be so distant? Let's go out of the city and welcome the Han Dynasty's King's Army into the city."

Outside the city, Du Xian and Zhuge Liang stood on horseback and stood in front of the army.

Unlike Zhuge Liang's calm and gentle atmosphere, Du Xian, a veteran on the battlefield, was a little nervous at this moment.

He looked anxiously at the city gate, then turned to look at Zhuge Liang.

"Kongming little kid, are you really sure that the enemy will take the initiative to surrender? Hanzhong is the gateway to Sichuan and Shu, and Nanzheng is the capital of Hanzhong. The city is high and deep, surrounded by mountains on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If I were guarding this city, 20,000 elite troops would be enough to defend it. No matter how much he had a hundred thousand troops, I would not be able to do anything to me. Will the enemy general really give in to such a strong city?"

"Hehe." Zhuge Liang gently waved the feather fan, calm and confident.

"Don't worry, General, Liang will definitely win you the first achievement of entering Sichuan."

Du Xian blushed: "Hey, what's the point of being a good person? Du has followed His Majesty for more than ten years. Now he has official positions, titles, family property, and fame. What else can I fight for? But this matter is of great importance and I dare not be careful."

Zhuge Liang's eyes were filled with the light of wisdom, and he pointed to the city gate and said, "How about a bet between me and the general? After the enemy general left the city, he would definitely not say a word of nonsense, and he would kneel down and surrender and send this great city to our army. Bet... I heard that the eldest son of the general's family loves to collect the lonely ancient books. If the younger generation wins, he will go to the son's study and pick three ancient books at will, how about it?"

Du Xian was about to slap his legs and agree, but he swallowed it back.

"Well... no, no, I'm a rude man, and I'm not as sensible as you scholars. Especially you, you kid, even the military advisor Xun You said that you are extremely wise and illusory, which made him amazed. I, Lao Du, don't fall for this. I believe what you said."

"Hahaha... People say that General Du Xian is rough and delicate, and it is indeed true."

The two were chatting, and suddenly heard a "creak" sound, and the city gate slowly opened.

"Bang..."

The suspension bridge on the moat was laid down, and two people rode their horses to run, it was Zhang Song and Meng Da.

Zhuge Liang bowed far away: "The two must be General Meng Da, and Chief Zhang Song? I am learning from Zhuge Liang. This is the commander of our army and General Du Xian. I have been waiting here for a long time."

Zhang Song came up and smiled and said, "I heard that General Du and Mr. Zhuge are famous for a long time. Song is not as good as the last few people in Shu. I dare to help you meet them in person. I am really frightened."

Zhuge Liang said, "The Chief Secretary is too humble. Four years ago, when His Majesty secretly got contact with his uncle for the first time, he once told Xun Wenruo that Zhang Song had extraordinary talent, elegant temperament, and had the ability to remember everything he saw. He was loyal to the Han Dynasty. He was actually a master of the world. He also had laws, filial piety, wise, wisdom and strategy, and Mencius was both respectful and brave, and was both unparalleled. The court could get several supporters, which were better than ten or hundreds of cities."

When the two of them heard this, they were extremely moved. They got off the horse on the spot, knelt on the ground, faced the north, and bowed repeatedly.

"Your Majesty is so kind, how dare Zhang Song not do his best to repay him with all his might?"

"I, Meng Da, wandered for half a lifetime, and I finally met the wise master today!"

Then, Meng Da took out a seal: "I have killed the Hanzhong Prefect, this is the seal of the prefect, and I will present it to Your Majesty."

Du Xian stepped forward, took the seal, and asked casually: "I heard that there is a Five Dogs of Rice Sect in Hanzhong, whose leader is named Zhang Lu. Before leaving, Your Majesty takes special care of this person. I wonder where he is now?"

Zhang Song replied: "Zhang Lu was the prefect of Hanzhong, and the Five Doks of Rice Cult is growing stronger and stronger, and he is quite intent to escape from the control of Yizhou. However, in recent years, the imperial court has pacified Liangzhou, which is very likely to be a southern expedition. Zhang Lu was frightened and resigned from his official position and went to Shangyong to develop the church. He thought that he was preparing to see something wrong, so he fled to Jingzhou at any time."

"Hmph, this old guy is smart."

Du Xian was very disdainful.

"Since that's the case, then we will enter the city first, then find this person, and kill him, and we will never let him go."

"Don't worry, General, Song has a plan to get rid of this person. There is a person around Zhang Lu, who is very popular and named Yang Song. This person is greedy and lustful by nature. We can send someone to send him some money and bribe him to inform Zhang Lu, and he said that His Majesty seized Hanzhong and intended to explore the way of immortality. He wanted to invite him to Hanzhong and the general to escort him to Luoyang. Zhang Lu is very ambitious and will definitely be happy about this matter. He has no doubts. When he arrives, he will kill and cut him, but isn't he allowed us to make the decision?"

"The Chief Secretary is indeed a clever plan." Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Since this is the case, we have to trouble the Chief Secretary to plan this matter."

"Haha, General and Mr. Kong Ming don't have to worry. In less than half a month, Song Ding teaches Zhang Lu to die. Well, it's going to dawn. You're going to be clear. You're traveling all night, and it's very hard. Please go to the city to rest. Tonight, Song prepares a banquet to welcome you."

"I'm sorry, please."

As a later generation, Liu He naturally knew Zhang Lu's nature. He had hundreds of thousands of people in the Five Dogs of Rice. Over time, he had political ambitions and tried to dominate the country, calling himself a lonely person, and even trying to interfere with national affairs with doctrine. Liu He naturally would not tolerate such a person. Therefore, before Du Xian and Zhuge Liang hurried to Luoyang this time, he issued such an order to them.

At this moment, Zhang Ren, who knew nothing about Hanzhong, was leading a large army, galloping all night, and finally leaving the mountain road. At the same time, the sunshine of the morning finally shone on the earth.

“Well…”

Zhang Liao shouted, and the five thousand purple gold dragon cavalry stopped running away instantly, turned around, and looked back at Zhang Ren's army who had been thrown away for more than ten miles and could only vaguely see a black shadow.

"Hehe..." Zhang Liao's lips raised: "What kind of top general in Shu is that way. Today is your death day next year..."
