Chapter 359

In the camp, Zhang Ren holds Liu Zhang's order in his hand, and his mood is still unable to calm down.

When he left Xinye County, his weapons, horses and other belongings were all temporarily put in Liu Xiu's camp. Now he has no place to go.

Zhang Ren wanted to go back to Chengdu to see Liu Zhang. He wanted to ask why?

However, at the thought of what Deng Xian said, Zhang Ren felt cold. Because Liu Zhang didn't want to remove him from office in the first place, but intended to arrest him for questioning. Think of here, Zhang Ren's heart on a burst of pain, feel very wronged. For the sake of Liu Zhang and Yizhou, he worked hard in Nanyang County, but he got such a result. I can imagine his mood.

After he became an official, Zhang renxuewu was in Yizhou.

At that time, he assisted Liu Yan. After Liu Yan died, he assisted Liu Zhang and helped Liu Zhang gain a foothold. It can be said that he is an old minister of two generations in Yizhou and is loyal to the Liu family in Yizhou.

But now, Liu Zhang dismissed him from office and let him live and die.

This kind of treatment is hard for Zhang Ren to accept.

"Step on it! Step on it

A sound of footwork came from behind.

Zhang Ren's mind is in a mess. He doesn't notice the steps behind him. He just looks at the forest in a daze.

Liu Xiu sat down and said, "General Zhang, are you still worried about the dismissal?"

Zhang renqiang began to smile and said with a light smile: "they have all been dismissed. What else are you worried about. I have no official now. I don't have to worry about the safety of Xinye, and I don't have to think about how to stop Cao Cao's army. How can I worry if I can't ask for such a good thing? "

Liu xiudao: "if you really put it down, the general will not say this."

When Zhang Ren heard the speech, he sighed.

Liu Xiu changed his words and asked, "what's general Zhang's plan next?"

Zhang Ren shook his head. He had been in the army all his life. Now he was suddenly dismissed by Liu Zhang. He was at a loss. He didn't know what to do?

He spent every day in the barracks.

His mind is on the soldiers.

Suddenly idle down, Zhang Ren do not know what to do, what can be done?

Zhang Ren thought for a long time and said, "the next step is to go back to Chengdu and find a place to live in seclusion."

Liu Xiu said: "General Zhang is full of martial arts and talent. If he goes back to Chengdu to live in seclusion, it would be a cruel and unjust thing. General Zhang, come to Jingzhou. Yizhou can't let you show your talent. Jingzhou can. I can give you a chance. "

At this time, Liu Xiu threw out the olive branch.

Liu Xiu did so much, the ultimate goal is to attract Zhang Ren.

In the eyes of Liu Yuan, Zhang's martial arts master is not good. In addition, Zhang Renai was like a son in the army. He was also a great general when he was marching and fighting.

Liu Xiu also liked such a general very much.

Zhang Ren looked at Liu Xiu and suddenly said, "Liu Jingzhou may offend Liu Zhang by recruiting me."

Liu xiudao: "I'm not afraid of Cao Cao. Will I be afraid of Liu Zhang?"

When Zhang Ren heard the speech, he was silent and hesitant.

Liu Xiu knows that he must take Zhang Ren this time. Otherwise, once Zhang Ren leaves, it will not be easy to recruit him. Liu Xiu adjusted his mind and asked, "General Zhang, what is Liu Zhang worthy of your loyalty?"

In a word, Zhang Ren was shocked.

Yes, what is Liu Zhang worthy of his loyalty?

Liu Xiu continued: "in terms of ability, Liu Zhang is not a bit worse than Cao Cao and Sun Quan. It can be said that in addition to a powerful father, Liu Zhang was mediocre and incompetent in other aspects. Otherwise, it will not force Zhang Lu to turn against him and let him take over Hanzhong. "

"Can Liu Zhang know people and make good use of them? Obviously not. "

"If you don't talk far away, just talk about Deng Xian."

"Judging from his previous speech and manner, even though Deng Xian was good at marching and fighting, he was insidious and narrow-minded. Such a person is by no means a good talent. On the contrary, Deng Xian was highly valued by Liu Zhang. "

"On the contrary, you worked hard in Nanyang County, planning for Yizhou everywhere and considering for Liu Zhang everywhere. In the end, Liu Zhang had a little praise. Not only no reward, but also direct punishment. "

"If it wasn't for Zhang Song and Fazheng's persuasion, you would be sitting in the prison car now."

Liu Xiu's eyes became more fierce and forceful. He said: "at the beginning, Yizhou proposed the alliance with Jingzhou, saying that both sides should keep watch and help each other. However, Jingzhou encountered difficulties, Liu Zhang did not agree to send troops. That's why I took out Nanyang County and Liu Zhang sent out his troops. "

"As for morality, is this the morality of an ally?"

"Such a short-sighted person is not a master."

"Although Jingzhou and Yizhou are still allies, when it comes to Nanyang County, does general Zhang think that I will have a good impression on Yizhou? Nanyang County was attacked by Cao's army. There are two reasons why my officer sent troops. "

"First of all, general Zhang is really a good man. He is also a good general. Second, Nanyang County and Xiangyang have a cold shoulder. Once Nanyang County falls, Xiangyang will also be attacked. That's why I sent troops to help."General Zhang Qinxian, the master of cultivation. Liu Zhang is not benevolent. Is general Zhang still loyal? I dare not say how powerful I am, how courteous I am. But at least we can guarantee that general Zhang will not be constrained, and that general Zhang will not be suspected and insulted. "

My words are sincere.

After hearing this, Zhang Ren also showed hesitation on his face.

For Liu Xiu, Zhang Ren naturally admired him very much.

Especially in this battle against Cao Cao, Zhang Ren saw Liu Xiu's wisdom and decisiveness, as well as his control of the battlefield situation. Such a person is indeed worthy of being a master.

Moreover, under Liu Xiu's command, a large number of talents have indeed gathered.

It can be said that Liu Xiu is absolutely not bad.

Zhang Ren's heart began to shake, but he had just been dismissed by Liu Zhang, and immediately transferred to Liu Xiu's command. There was always something wrong in his heart.

Seeing Zhang Ren's intention, Liu Xiu struck while the iron was hot and asked, "General Zhang, Cao's army is about to go south in a large scale. Xinye is in danger. Do you think Deng Xian can keep Xinye

Zhang Ren didn't even think about it. He said directly, "without Liu Jingzhou's help, Deng Xian can't keep it."

Liu xiudao: "even if I help, Deng Xian can't keep it."

After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "now the situation is critical. How can general Zhang stand by? For Jingzhou, Nanyang County should never be given to Cao Cao. General Zhang is very familiar with Xinye. At this time, he is in urgent need of his help. "

Zhang Ren took a deep breath and suppressed his confused thoughts.

After a moment's silence, Zhang Ren stood up, arched his hand and said, "last general Zhang Ren, meet the Lord."

"General Zhang, please get up."

Liu Xiu was relieved at last.

After all kinds of planning, Zhang Ren finally entered his command. It's really gratifying.

Zhang Ren suddenly said, "Lord, there will be one thing that needs to be agreed."

Liu Xiu asked, "what's the matter?"

Zhang Ren replied: "with the power of the Lord, it will not be limited to Jingzhou. Next, we will attack Jiangdong and Yizhou. But if Yizhou is captured, I hope the Lord will spare Liu Zhang's life. "

Liu Zhang is unkind to him, he can't be unkind to Liu Zhang.

Moreover, in Zhang Ren's eyes, Liu Zhang can not be Liu Xiu's opponent, and will surely fail in the end. So Zhang Ren took the lead in putting forward his own request, hoping to save Liu Zhang's life.

Liu Xiu promised: "since general Zhang said that, I promise to conquer Yizhou in the future and never embarrass Liu Zhang. If he wants to leave, I will let Liu Zhang leave. If Liu Zhang is willing to stay under my command, I guarantee that he will be rich and prosperous all his life. "

"Thank you, Lord!"

Zhang Ren's eyes showed a trace of joy.

Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "the three disciples of Tong Lao, general Zhang and Zilong, are all under my command. If we can make Zhang Xiu surrender in the future, it's really a great joy."

Zhang Ren didn't know about Zhang Xiu. After all, when he came out of the mountain, Zhang Xiu didn't pay homage to his teacher.

Zhang Ren asked: "Lord, is Zhang Xiu also a disciple of the teacher?"

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "the first is you, the second is Zhang Xiu, and the last is Zilong."

Zhang Ren's face also showed a touch of expectation, saying: "if we can get together, it would be better. However, Zhang Xiu's submission to Cao Cao makes it quite difficult for the Lord to attract Zhang Xiu. "

Liu Xiu said with a smile, "that's the future. Let's see."

After a pause, Liu said: "as for your arrangement, my idea is to stay with me for the time being and not arrange any official positions. When Cao Cao is defeated, I will set up the Fifth Army in Nanyang County, and then you will take charge of the Fifth Army. What do you think? "

After listening to Liu Xiu's arrangement, Zhang Ren was very happy and said, "I will obey my Lord's arrangement."

Zhang Ren knows the structure of Liu Xiu's command.

At present, Liu Xiu has established four armies, all of which are his own. He was able to take charge of the Fifth Army. Obviously, Liu Xiu really accepted him and valued him so that he could take charge of the Fifth Army.
