After Wei Yan returned to the camp, he asked Zhang Lu Haosheng to take care of him, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

wrote another letter, sending someone to inform Liu Bei and inform him of the good news.

Originally, Wei Yan was very utilitarian, and when he captured Zhang Lu, he naturally had to ponder the capture of Nanzheng.

It's just that if it is dark today, Liu Bei will arrive early tomorrow morning, and it will be too late, so Wei Yan has no choice but to honestly wait for Liu Bei to make a decision after he arrives.

Before dawn the next day, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang led more than 1,000 cavalry to arrive first.

It turned out that Liu Bei learned the good news and was eager to see Zhang Lu, so he left the army and led the generals to arrive first.

"Lord!" Wei Yan, Sun Qian, Yang Song and others greeted them at the gate of the camp.

When Liu Bei saw Sun Gan and saw him full of silver hair, he couldn't help but be extremely moved, and stepped forward to support Sun Gan and said, "Gongyou, I haven't seen you for half a year, you have suffered!" ”

"Lord!" Sun Qian arched his hand and said: "In the end, he will not disgrace his mission!" ”

"Good, good!" The two gentlemen and ministers are very understandable, Liu Bei grabbed Sun Gan's hand, and only said one word, but the gratitude in it was beyond words.

"Song has seen the lord!" Yang Song bowed his hand to the side.

Liu Bei let go of Sun Qian when he heard this, and said to Yang Song: "Oh, Mr. Yang Song, I was able to take down Zhang Lu this time, thanks to Mr., I will definitely not treat Mr. badly." ”

Seeing Liu Bei say this, Yang Song was sure that Liu Bei would not do anything to him, so he smiled and said, "Thank you Lord!" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Bei nodded, looked at Wei Yan and said, "Where is Zhang Lu?" ”

Wei Yan arched his hand and said: "The lord, please go to the big tent, and I will bring someone to bring him over!" ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "I'll go see him in person!" ”

Wei Yan was puzzled when he heard this: "Lord, Zhang Lu's house is so hateful, what do you say would rather be a slave for Cao Cao than a guest on the lord's seat, and now he has become a prisoner under the ranks, and he is so courteous." ”

Zhuge Liang was behind Liu Bei, he sighed and said: "Zhang Luruo is just a Hanzhong Taishou, but Hanzhong ****, Zhang Lu is even more respectful, the people of Hanzhong are all believers, if you don't treat Zhang Lu politely, the hearts of the people in Hanzhong are rare, and I am even more afraid that the people will cause chaos." ”

"My lord, please!" When Wei Yan heard this, he had no doubts and took Liu Bei to Zhang Lu's tent.

When he came to the camp, Liu Bei saw that Zhang Lu was tied up by five flowers, and hurriedly ordered: "Don't let Zhang Gong loosen the tie yet!" ”

Zhang Lu looked at Liu Bei and was silent.

Liu Bei disliked the soldiers for being too slow, and personally walked behind Zhang Lu to untie him.

Liu Bei arched his hand and said: "I've seen Zhang Gong!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Zhang Lu has seen Xuande Gong!" Now that Zhang Lu has become a prisoner under the ranks, and his wife and children have been taken, Zhang Lu does not dare not give Liu Bei face, so as not to annoy Liu Bei and lose his life.

Liu Bei pulled Zhang Lu and walked out of the tent while saying: "Zhang Gong is frightened, set up a banquet for Zhang Gong, and prepare for Zhang Gong to be shocked!" ”

Zhang Lu, who became a prisoner of the stairs, didn't dare to say anything like I'd rather die than be a guest on Liu Bei's seat, so he honestly followed Liu Bei to the banquet.

At the end of the banquet, Liu Bei said to Zhang Lu: "Gong Zhang, now Nanzheng ......"

Looking at the unkind eyes of His Royal Highness's generals, Zhang Lu nodded again and again: "I'll write a letter to let the defenders in the city open the city and surrender, but yesterday, I have already ordered someone to ...... to Cao Gong Cao Cao presented a letter of surrender, and the city north of Nanzheng ......"

Liu Bei nodded and said: "Cao Cao received the letter early, you can send someone to chase it, please Zhang Gong order the letter to the defenders in various places to surrender to me, I will send troops and horses to take over the cities!" ”

Zhang Lu nodded again and again: "Yes, yes!" ”

Zhang Lu was full of words in Hanzhong, and with Zhang Lu's letter, everything was easy to do.

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he arched his hand and said: "Lord, the messenger set off yesterday, and I want to chase it, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up, but Liang has a plan, which can make Cao ** have no place to be buried!" ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "What is the strategy of the military advisor, come quickly!" ”

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "Cao Cao is now stationed in Keigu, Zhang Gong's brother Zhang Wei led 20,000 troops to resist, and now the messenger has set off for a day, and he can't catch up if he wants to, so he can't let Zhang Wei continue to garrison Keigu to resist Cao Cao."

However, you can quickly send someone to contact Zhang Wei and let him respond.

Cao Cao got the news, he must lead his troops south to capture Nanzheng, from Keigu to Nanzheng, there is a city, called Baozhong, we can lead the troops to Baozhong in advance to set up an ambush. Zhang Wei can be ordered to coax Cao Cao into the city to rest on the grounds of supplementing military funds, let's prepare dry firewood and oil in the city in advance, Cao Cao led his troops into the city, and then fired rockets, which will definitely make Cao Cao die in the fire! ”

Liu Bei listened to Zhuge Liang's strategy, was overjoyed, and said, "Okay, good strategy!" Back then, a fire in Chibi failed to burn Cao Cao, and now this fire is a fire, and Cao Thief will die without a place to be buried! ”

Liu Beiyou looked at Zhang Lu and said, "Gong Zhang, I'll trouble you to write another letter and contact Brother Ling!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Lu was extremely bitter in his heart, and nodded and agreed.

Liu Bei looked at the generals in the hall and ordered: "Wei Yan, Zilong, Lin Xiao, Zhang Ren, each of you will lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to Baozhong, evacuate the people in the city first, and arrange an ambush in the city, just wait for Cao Cao to take the bait, and I will lead the army to respond in the back!" ”

"No!"

The generals will take the command.

However, it was said that the messenger sent by Zhang Lu went all the way north to Kei Valley.

And Liu Bei ordered Wei Yan, Zhao Yun, Lin Xiao, and Zhang Ren to lead the soldiers and horses to set up an ambush in Keigu.

The messenger traveled for five days, arrived in Keisha, and delivered the letter to Zhang Wei.

Although Wei Yan and other generals sent troops one day late, Baozhong was only halfway, and the 20,000 troops marched lightly and arrived in Baozhong on the fourth day.

When Cao Cao received Zhang Lu's surrender, and then led his troops to take and arrive in Baozhong, it would take at least five or six days, which was enough for Wei Yan and other generals to arrange in the city and set up an ambush.

However, it was said that Zhang Wei received Zhang Lu's letter, so he asked Cao Cao to surrender and surrender to Cao Cao.

In the Kei Valley, Cao Cao's camp.

Cao Cao held Zhang Lu's surrender letter in his hand, his face was extremely gloomy, and he said to the generals: "This Zhang Lu is really smart but was mistaken by cleverness, he deliberately asked Zhang Wei to send 20,000 troops to garrison here to resist me, and only sent 10,000 troops to garrison Nanzheng to resist Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei could take advantage of it, so that I could be anxious and surrender to me at a critical moment, so as to win my respect."

I didn't want Liu Bei to send Zhang Fei to lead his troops out of Yangping Pass, Pang De surrendered Zhang Fei again, Miaocai was no match for Zhang Fei, and the losses were quite heavy, and on Nanzheng's side, Yang Ren surrendered Liu Bei again, causing Liu Bei to take advantage of it.

Hmph, Zhang Lu is opportunistic, so that there is today's disaster, I can't wait to kill him and vent the hatred in my heart! ”

Cheng Yu arched his hand and said: "Lord, Zhang Lu's opportunism is a crime that deserves death, but now the top priority is to accept Zhang Wei's soldiers and horses, and lead the troops to Nanzheng, according to the letter, Liu Bei led his troops to Nanzheng a few days ago, if he goes late, I am afraid that Nanzheng will be taken by Liu Bei." ”
