Wan County, in the city.
On the broad street, three prison cars drove slowly.
Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang song, the military strategist, were imprisoned in the three vehicles.
The three were dressed in prison clothes and dishevelled.
Next to the van, followed by a convoy of soldiers.
The prison car was driving on the street and soon attracted the attention of the people in Wan county.
Most people in Wan County know Zhang Ren and others.
After all, Zhang Ren has been stationed in Nanyang County.
Therefore, shortly after the appearance of the three men's prison car, it attracted the attention of countless people in Wan county. One by one, the people stood on both sides of the street, staring at the carriages, talking in private.
"What's the matter? General Zhang Ren was taken to the prison car. General Zhang is a good man. His soldiers never commit crimes. How did he get caught? "
"Not only Zhang Ren, but also Wei Taishou."
"In addition to Wei Yan, there is also military adviser Zhang song. What crime have they committed?"
"Hey, hey, are you still talking about Zhang Ren's crimes? Are you still from Wan county? Even Zhang Ren didn't know about his defeat. Zhang Ren was stationed in Yingchuan County, but he was attacked by Zhang Liao and defeated. It is said that Zhang Ren led his troops back to rescue Wan County, but he failed at the expense of his troops. "
"But I heard that his Majesty was very angry. He personally ordered the soldiers to escort the three men to the north for trial."
"Their defeat really disgraced the state of Chu."
"Yes, yes. Have we ever lost the battle between Chu and Cao Cao? Never lost. It's the first time for someone like Zhang Ren to lose. It's a shame to lose this time. "
"It is estimated that Zhang Ren's official position will be lost."
"It's the easiest thing to lose your official position. Can the officials in the court let Zhang Ren go back? "
"In my opinion, Zhang Ren is miserable."
……
One by one, the people whispered and talked.
Some people groan, some people look suddenly, some people look busy
The white faces of all living beings are different.
For the people of Wan County, Zhang Ren is a good general, but Zhang Ren is too far away from them.
However, some people remember Zhang Ren and Wei Yan well.
Zhang Ren was stationed in Nanyang, which ensured the stability of Nanyang.
Wei Yan made great contribution to the development of Nanyang when he was the governor of Nanyang.
Anyway, Zhang Ren was defeated.
As Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang Song were escorted out of the city by the soldiers and went to Liu Xiu's camp, the news spread completely.
This news soon spread to Yingchuan.
Zhang Liao's spies got the news and presented it directly.
Zhang Liao immediately sent for Xunyou to discuss the matter. As soon as Xun you entered the camp, he sat down and said with a smile, "general, what's the matter?"
After defeating Zhang Ren, Xun you advised Zhang Liao to stop fighting and stabilize the situation in Yingchuan county.
Zhang Ren was defeated. It was Zhang Ren who was worried. He was the king of Chu.
As long as Zhang Liao patiently waits, sooner or later he will be able to wait for the chance to make a move.
Therefore, Xun you and Zhang Liao had nothing to do during this period of time, and they were quite idle.
Zhang Liao said, "our chance has come, military strategist."
Xun you's spirit was aroused and he asked, "what's the chance?"
For Xun you, he couldn't wait to defeat Chu.
However, Xun you's reason told him that Chu was a giant, and the generals of Chu were not easy to be compared with. They could not act too fast, but had to wait patiently.
Now that Zhang Liao said that he had the opportunity, Xun you was excited.
Zhang Liao said: "the spy just sent back the news. Liu Xiu was very angry when he got the news of Zhang Ren's defeat."
"Liu Xiu ordered the soldiers to escort Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang song to the north."
"This is our chance."
"Last time we fought with Zhang Ren, if Zhao Yunheng didn't intervene, we could capture Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang song alive."
"It's a pity that Zhao Yun suddenly appeared, which made us fall short of success."
"This time, the three were escorted northward. It's our chance."
Zhang Liao's eyes twinkled with excitement, and he couldn't wait to say, "military strategist, think carefully, how proud Liu Xiu is that he has become the emperor of Chu from a concubine."
"Once we catch Zhang Ren and others, where is Liu Xiu's face?"
"What's more, Zhang Ren and others were defeated. Now they are escorted north, and they will be punished soon. At this time, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang Song were the easiest to persuade them to surrender. "
"If we arrest the three, we can weaken Liu Xiu."
"This is increasing our power."
Zhang Liao leaned forward slightly. He said, "I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's also an opportunity created by Liu Xiu."Thinking of Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang song being escorted to the north, Zhang Liao was happy.
Liu Xiu is the happiest.
And this result is what Zhang Liao most hopes to see.
Xun you can't wait to beat Chu and win, but he is very rational.
After listening to Zhang Liao's words and thinking for a moment, he said, "general, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang Song are escorted north. Is it Liu Xiu's plot? It was Liu Xiu who deliberately lured us to fight. "
Xun you would not despise any general of Chu.
The lion still needs to fight the rabbit.
Now, he has to go all out and dare not underestimate anyone in the state of Chu.
Especially Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren and others are experienced people.
Zhang Liao thought about it and said firmly, "I don't think it's a conspiracy."
Xun you asked, "why?"
"I think there are three reasons for this," Zhang explained
"First, Liu Xiu's anger is real."
"Let's take a closer look at Liu Xiu's resume. Since he rose in Jingzhou, he has become the emperor of Chu. He has experienced countless wars and small battles, and his legions have fought countless times. "
"Even if Liu Xiu ran into difficulties, he won in the end."
"It can be said that Liu Xiu is an invincible man."
"The generals of the state of Chu were always victorious."
"But now?"
"Zhang Ren was defeated. Zhang Ren broke the myth of Chu's invincibility and lost a whole army."
"When such news comes out, where does Liu Xiu's face go?"
"If you think about it, you can understand Liu Xiu's anger."
"The most important thing is that for a man who has never been defeated, a failure will break everything he has and make all his efforts go down in the water. Can he be reconciled?"
Zhang Liao is very determined, very sure said: "so the general Ren Wei, Liu Xiu angry, Liu Xiu to deal with Zhang Ren and others, are extremely normal, can be judged."
"Second, Liu Xiu wanted to beat the rest of the generals of Chu."
"For a long time, the generals of the state of Chu were very proud that they would win in battle and conquer in attack."
"Now that Zhang Ren has been defeated and suffered heavy losses, Liu Xiu can take this opportunity to beat his subordinates and shake the mountains and tigers."
"Otherwise, how can he control his subordinates?"
"Once the rest of the generals are defeated, what will Liu Xiu do?"
"Even in order to set an example to others, Liu Xiu must punish Zhang Ren."
"Liu Xiu set a precedent here for Zhang Ren. After other generals were defeated, Liu Xiu would be hard to deal with."
Zhang Liao talked with great brilliance.
His eyes sparkled.
He has carefully calculated the news that Zhang Ren was sent to the north.
Xun you listened to Zhang Liao's analysis and nodded slightly.
There is some truth in Zhang Liao's analysis.
Xun you asked, "what's the third point?"
Liao zhengmi replied, "this is not Zhang's third conspiracy."
Xun you's face became suddenly beautiful.
With a slight twitch in the corner of his mouth, he looked up at Zhang Liao and said, "general, you are really..."
He did not expect that Zhang Liao would say so.
Zhang Liao said with a light smile: "don't blame the military strategist. I was going to make a joke."
Xun you said, "this joke is not funny." He thought and thought, did not think of Zhang Liao's third reason is what, did not expect Zhang Liao opened a sentence is a plot.
Zhang Liao looked restrained and said solemnly, "the third reason is that Ben Jiang really thinks it's Yang Mou, which is an upright Yang Mou."
