Outside Jiameng pass, Zhang Xiu's army was stationed.
The army was stationed here, and there was no attack from beginning to end. Because Zhang Ren is in, with Zhang Ren's understanding of Zhang Xiu, more with Zhang Ren's degree of prudence, it is impossible to send troops easily.
As long as Zhang Ren is stationed in Jiameng pass, it is very difficult for Zhang Xiu to capture Jiameng pass. After all, Jiameng pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the defensive equipment is sufficient. Let Zhang Xiu spend countless soldiers to attack, and finally unable to capture, such a situation, Zhang Xiu is not willing to.
He preferred to wait for the news.
In the army, Zhang Xiu has little to do all day. Especially in the middle of Sichuan, the weather is quite hot after July. He simply let the soldiers make the iron pot in the army, fried the hot pot base material with Cornus officinalis, ginger, fragrant leaves, cinnamon and so on, added the soup stewed with bones, and finally let people kill a pig to eat hot pot.
The hot pot made in this way is simple, rough, and has no red oil of bean paste, so its taste is much worse.
After all, there is a lack of seasoning.
But it's the first time. It's a good taste. After all, it's quite comfortable to eat such a hot pot when it's relatively simple to eat, and there are no major cuisines invented, and there are no condiments.
Especially in July, it is rather sultry.
Hot pot hold, take off the coat, eat sweating, the body's hot and humid are divergent, the whole body comfortable.
Sima Yi, Pang Tong and others ate for three days.
I don't want to eat it in three days.
However, when Sima Yi and Pang Tong didn't eat much, Zhang Xiu prepared new dishes, such as duck intestines, duck mushroom liver and so on.
The hot pot is beginning to spread.
Many generals in the army are eating hot pot.
As for the soldiers in the army, they can't eat such food, but they can have meat cooked in a big pot. The food is also very rich and not bad at all.
This day, near noon.
Zhang Xiu, Pang Tong and Sima Yi have been sitting around and eating hot pot. They chatted and scalded duck intestines one day, which is now Zhang Xiu's, Pang Tong's and Sima Yi's favorite. They all like scalding duck intestines.
Whoo!
The curtain of the tent was lifted and Wang Yue strode in.
When Zhang Xiu saw Wang more and more, she said: "Wang more and more, come on, come on, sit down and eat. On a hot day, especially in Sichuan, it's muggy. After eating it, you can have a drink of the spring just taken out of the mountain. It's cold and comfortable. After eating, sweating and taking a cold bath, it's really comfortable. "
Wang Yue said: "Lord, I will not eat my humble position. I'm old and old, and I can't stand such a big fish. "
Zhang Xiu said, "what's the matter?"
Wang Yue said: "report back to my Lord. From Chengdu, it is reported that Liu Zhang has sent Lingbao and Liu Ruo northward from Jianmen pass to garrison Jiameng pass. In addition, transfer Zhang Ren to Jianmen pass. "
"Good!"
After hearing this, Zhang Xiu called out.
Zhang Ren was transferred from Jiameng pass, which means that Liu Zhang at least began to doubt Zhang Ren. It will be of great help to Zhang Xiu in recruiting Zhang Ren. In addition, after Zhang Ren left, it would be much easier for Zhang Xiu to conquer Jiameng pass.
After eating a piece of pork, Sima Yi felt comfortable and said with regret: "unfortunately, Zhang Ren was not directly transferred back to Chengdu. If Zhang Ren is directly transferred back to Chengdu, he may be asked about his crime. Let Zhang Ren sit at Jianmen pass, is still believe Zhang Ren. It means that there is a long way to go to separate Zhang Ren and Liu Zhang. "
"That's true!"
Zhang Xiu nodded in agreement.
Zhang Xiu asked, "when are Ling Bao and Liu Ruo expected to arrive?"
Wang Yue said, "tomorrow morning at the latest."
Zhang Xiu kept chopsticks in her hand and said, "in that case, send orders to the soldiers in the army. Tomorrow morning, we will go to jiamengguan. "
"Here it is
The more Wang got the order, he turned and stepped down.
After Wang Yue turned and left, Zhang Xiu, Sima Yi and Pang Tong continued to eat happily.
As time goes by, it's time to register in the afternoon.
In Zhang Xiu's camp, everything is the same.
But on the upper floor of Jiameng pass, Zhang Ren receives the news that Ling Bao and Liu Ruo are going north, and they are about to arrive. When Zhang Ren got the news, he was still a little disappointed.
Zhang Ren, who was loyal to Liu Zhang, never went back from beginning to end and was willing to repay Liu Zhang for his kindness. But now, although he was captured alive by Zhang Xiu, Liu Zhang's action is tantamount to suspecting Zhang Ren and not trusting him to stay in Jiameng pass.
As a former prisoner, Zhang Ren is sensitive. As long as it is mentioned that Zhang is captured by Zhang Xiu, and that Zhang Ren is Zhang Xiu's elder martial brother, Zhang Ren is upset.
These two things made him extremely helpless.
If he had been captured by Zhang Xiu at the beginning, he would have died in Zhang Xiu's hands. It would have been all over, and there was nothing to worry about. But now, he came back. Although he was still loyal to Liu Zhang, he was not what he used to be, but Zhang Ren, who had been reduced to a prisoner.That's the difference.
Zhang Ren went out of the room and stood on the tower, inspecting the defense of the tower.
Two quarters of an hour later, in Jiameng pass, an army arrived in a mighty manner.
This army is commanding by Ling Bao and Liu Ruo.
Among them, Ling Bao was the leader.
Ling Bao walked in front of him. When he arrived at the downstairs of the inner city of Jiameng pass, he ordered the soldiers to stay in the pass. Then he took Liu Ruo with him and quickly climbed the tower.
Seeing Zhang Ren, Ling Bao's eyes flashed a trace of disdain and said, "Zhang Ren, Lord, I've ordered you to take off your armor and hand over your talisman immediately. Then, with a thousand soldiers back to Jianmen pass. The garrison of Jiameng pass is in the charge of this general and Liu Ruo. "
"Here it is
Zhang Ren responded directly.
As soon as the words changed, Zhang Ren said: "general Ling, Zhang Xiu is not easy to deal with, and..."
He intended to remind Ling Bao, but as soon as he said it, he was interrupted by Ling Bao. He only heard Ling Bao coldly say: "Zhang Ren, what's the situation on the battlefield, won't you judge it by yourself? You are a defeated general, or Zhang Xiu's elder martial brother. Who knows if you are defeated on purpose? Stop talking. It's disgusting. "
Zhang Ren's face changed again and again.
He did not expect that Ling Bao should be so rude and humiliate him.
Zhang Ren clenched his fist and was very angry.
Ling Bao raised her head and tossed the ground with a voice: "why, do you want Zhang Ren to hit me? Come on, come on, hit me in the face. I'd like to see the prestige of any defeated general. "
Liu Ruo also looked down on Zhang Ren and said sarcastically, "Zhang Ren, if I were you, I would not stay any longer. I would have left long ago. Where would I have the cheek to leave?"
Lingbao said, "what General Liu said is true."
Liu Ruo said: "go away!"
Two people, constantly criticizing the run on Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren's face. This scene makes Gu can and others even more angry. Even Zhang Ren's guards are already furious, intending to kill people.
It was all stopped by Zhang Ren.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Ren big sleeve a brush, directly under the order.
The people he wanted to take away had already been arranged. But he could take a thousand people away, so after Zhang Ren left the castle, he went straight to the barracks and sent his soldiers away.
Ling Bao and Liu Ruo look at each other and both of them laugh. They quickly changed their ways and removed the bow and crossbow on the city floor, because in their view, Zhang Ren wrote to Liu Zhang that Zhang Xiu had a flying ball, which was a bluff.
Zhang Ren is sophistry for himself.
After all the adjustments, Ling Bao looked at Liu Ruo and said, "Liu Ruo, let's bring more than 20000 elite soldiers. Zhang Ren has more than 20000 under his command. Plus jiamengguan itself, there are thousands of elite. Now we have 50000 elite soldiers. How do you think we should meet the enemy? "
