Chapter 733

Yan Pu sighed deeply and asked Yang Ren, "General Yang, Yangping pass is strong. The division gave you ten thousand elite soldiers. How could you lose so fast? Did you disobey the military order and go out of the city to fight in the field?"

At the end of the day, Yan Pu's tone has become sharp, with a hint of blame.

However, Yang Ren understood Yan Pu's character and knew that he was wrong about things and people. So he bowed his hand to Yan Pu and said in a deep voice, "Yan Gongcao, I will obey the general's orders and dare not go to war. The reason why Yangping pass was conquered was because the enemy used a catapult. "

"A catapult?" Zhang Lu frowned.

"Yes, the enemy used hundreds of stone throwing carts with a range of more than 150 steps and poured stones at the head of Yangpingguan. Our soldiers were killed and wounded a lot, and we dare not go to war."

"The enemy's stone bullets kept on going, and then the Liangzhou army came out. Our army was caught off guard, and the city gate was broken again, so it was defeated..."

Yang Ren gritted his teeth and insisted: "I have the great trust of my master. If you lose the natural danger of Yangpingguan, please punish me."

"Well, General Yang fought hard. Go down and have a rest."

Zhang Lu shook his head, but did not order punishment. He could see that Yang Ren was covered in blood and had several wounds on his body. Obviously, he had fought hard. Besides, his younger brother did not punish him. How could he be so kind to punish him?

Thank you very much

Yang Ren gratefully thanks Zhang Lu and then retreats.

Zhang Lu sighed for a long time and then looked at Yan Pu.

"Yan Gongcao, how about we escape to Bazhong and join up with our second brother?"

Yan Pu raised his eyebrows, arched his hand and said, "dare to ask Shijun, but we should resolutely fight against Liu Ye?"

Zhang Lu said with a wry smile: "what about fighting? It's just a muddle in life. "

Yan Pu was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "since the Shijun has no intention to fight against Liu Ye, it's better to bow down."

"Bow down, please?" Zhang Lu's facial features are tight. He didn't want to surrender. But now that Yangpingguan and Shangyong have been lost, isn't it too late to ask Liu Ye to surrender?

Seeing Zhang Lu's silence, Yan Pu probably guessed what he was thinking, and then said, "Sir, I'm sorry to be frank. Today, although the general is in the north, half of the princes in the world have not yet been subdued. Liu Biao, Sun Quan, Cao Cao and Liu Zhang are not easy people. Can't they always fight? "

"What do you mean?"

"Since ancient times, saints and kings have always paid attention to persuading people by virtue. If the division King surrenders, the general must take the division king as an example. Did you not know that Wu Chen sent Qin to patrol around the country Yan Pu followed the good advice.

Wu Chen was Chen Sheng's senior general. He was ordered to attack the Qin area, but the cities refused to surrender. Later, someone gave him an idea to let a county magistrate of the state of Qin who voluntarily surrendered to sit in the car and pay a high official and a high salary. Then he toured around the country and told his own story. Many county magistrate saw that Wu Chen was kind to those who surrendered, so they surrendered one after another.

Zhang Lu pondered. His eyes were bright and dim. After a long time, he closed his eyes.

"Then, go down."

...

after passing Yangpingguan, Liu Ye, commander of the army, came to Nanzheng in a fierce manner. More than 40000 troops under his command were still ready to continue to attack the city, but unexpectedly, a good news came from the front line that Zhang Lu had surrendered.

Liu Ye rode his horse to the front of the city. Surrounded by hundreds of Liangzhou iron horses, Liu Ye saw the gate of Nanzheng city open, hundreds of officials and squires and thousands of civilians lined up on both sides of the road.

Among those who surrendered, one of them, who was dressed in cloth, was white and clean. Obviously, he stepped forward and bowed his head and said, "Zhang Lu, in Hanzhong, did not know the great general's power and tried to fight against the imperial court's imperial division. It is really a crime to die. Lu Yu blunt, for the common people, begged to surrender to the general, wanwang general accepted

The officials and the people on the other side said in a clear voice: "we have received the kindness of Zhang Shijun for a long time. We hope that the general will give us an open hand."

Liu Ye stares at Zhang Lu, and there is a chill in his eyes: this Zhang Lu is really a little tricky.

"Hehe, Zhang Shijun, please get up quickly."

Liu Ye gets off his horse and lifts Zhang Lu up with a smile. When Zhang Luton feels like a spring breeze, where does he feel half cold? He looked at the people in front of him in disbelief. He saw that Liu Ye was only in his thirties. His back was as straight as a javelin, and now he has become a world-famous one.

Zhang Lu, on the other hand, is more than 40 years old, but he is still a prefect of a county. He can't help but feel envious.

However, Zhang Lu, after all, is a man of talent. He quickly reacts to Liu Ye and says respectfully to Liu Ye: "general, I don't know Huwei. I'm really guilty."

"Hehe, it's OK. If you can change something, you can't be too good."

"General, I have sealed up the imperial storehouse in the city. The general can go to inspect it." Zhang Lu said respectfully.

When Liu Ye hears the speech, there is a glimmer of appreciation in his eyes. The most important buildings in a city are the garrison, granary and storehouse. The Treasury is the place where gold, silver and weapons are stored. Since Zhang Lu sealed up the treasure house, it shows that he really surrendered.Liu Ye nodded his head and said with satisfaction, "very good. Zhang Shijun knows the current affairs. He will be very satisfied. I believe your majesty will also be satisfied."

"Thank you, general!"

Zhang Lu was overjoyed at the speech. After hearing this, he naturally understood that Liu Ye was ready to accept him. Isn't this a happy thing?

"When Zhang Shijun was in charge of Hanzhong, he had a harmonious government and a harmonious society. The people lived a prosperous life and made good political achievements."

Liu Ye Lang said: "in this case, Zhang Shijun will continue to serve as the governor of Hanzhong. How about providing food and fodder for the king of our court?"

Zhang Lu was very pleased to be able to continue to serve as the governor of Hanzhong. Liu Ye was really sincere. As for providing some food and grass, it doesn't matter. In any case, Hanzhong will belong to Liu Ye's subordinate force in the future, and there is no need to save grain and grass to support the army.

"Easy to say, it is incumbent on Zhang to provide food and grass for Wang Shi."

Zhang Lu cautiously said: "I just don't know when the general is going to return? I want to urge my subordinates to prepare food and grass. "

"Go back?"

Liu Ye's face showed a smile worth pondering: "this will not plan to go back."

Zhang Lu was shocked and stammered: "what? Will the general stay in Hanzhong instead of going back to Luoyang? This... "

" does Zhang Shijun think that the reason why our army went out in two ways together and used 100000 troops was that we could not succeed in Hanzhong? " Jia Xu said with a smile.

"Ah?" Zhang Lu tentatively said, "is it difficult for a general to prepare his troops to sweep Sichuan and Sichuan?"

Liu Ye said nothing with a smile, but Jia Xu said sternly, "Zhang Shijun, you don't have to ask more about it. Just provide food and grass."
