Dian Wei was holding Deng Xian tightly with both hands, but he saw that this person sprayed a mouthful of blood at him, and he was sprayed on his armor immediately before he could dodge.

"What a bad luck!"

Dian Wei's already blackened cheeks became darker at this time, but looking at Deng Xian, who was stunned, it was not easy to attack.

Wu Yi was even more frightened when he saw this situation, and his body subconsciously moved to the side, hoping to stay away from Zhang Song.

is the so-called: expose people without exposing shortcomings, and hit people without slapping their faces.

But here in Zhang Song, he not only specializes in exposing people's shortcomings, but also infinitely magnifies those small shortcomings.

Not only that, Zhang Song swollen Deng Xian's left cheek, and slapped him a few times on the right cheek, and kept beating Deng Xian out of shape, and then closed his mouth.

From beginning to end, Zhang Song didn't speak with a single dirty word, but he was able to make a battlefield veteran like Deng Xian faint alive.

It can be seen from this that Zhang Song's words are so lethal.

Chen Xu looked at Deng Xian, who was unconscious, smiled bitterly, and let people settle him.

He looked at Zhang Ren, who was also unconscious, sighed slightly, and said, "Let's get out of here first." ”

After saying hello, Chen Xu led everyone out of the house, so that Zhang Ren could have a better rest.

Chen Xu led Zhang Song back to his residence, but he didn't bring Wu Yi with him, he asked the soldiers to serve some wine and food, and the two sat opposite each other.

Looking at Zhang Song, who was not good-looking, Chen Xu remembered the demeanor of this person, but he was always not happy.

Although Zhang Song was angry with himself just now, humiliating Deng Xian like this made Chen Xu a little difficult to let go.

Chen Xu has always been very respectful of people with integrity.

Deng Xian is a famous general in Bashu, even if he is now defeated and captured, he is not humble or arrogant, and he regards death as home, such heroes should not suffer that kind of treatment.

But for Zhang Song, Chen Xu didn't want to be too harsh, so he didn't speak.

As if guessing Chen Xu's thoughts, Zhang Song sat up straight, and said, "The lord thinks that Song Fang is a little too much?" ”

Without waiting for Chen Xu to speak, Zhang Song asked rhetorically again: "Song took the liberty to ask, I don't know how the lord is going to deal with Zhang Ren and Deng Xian?" ”

Chen Xu felt that he couldn't keep up with Zhang Song's rhythm, but he still answered truthfully: "These two are both talented people, although I want to recruit them, it is extremely difficult." ”

First of all, both were loyal men, and it was very difficult to persuade them to surrender.

Secondly, the two of them caused great casualties to the Guanzhong army, and the attack on Yizhou Gongdu and Jiangwu were also killed one after another, and I am afraid that the military will fluctuate a little if they do not kill the two.

Chen Xu was extremely entangled in his heart, and continued with a sigh: "If the two of them swear to the death, I can only be fully loyal." ”

Zhang Ren and Deng Xian are not the kind of people who are easily persuaded to surrender, Chen Xu's implication is to kill the two of them.

Zhang Song shook his head, and said, "These two people can't be killed!" ”

Chen Xu was stunned when he heard this, frowned and asked, "Why did Ziqiao say this?" ”

Zhang Song said: "Zhang Ren and Deng Xian have a very high prestige in the army, if the lord kills the two of them, those captured and surrendered Yizhou troops will definitely be restless." ”

"In addition, there are many generals in Yizhou who are good friends with Zhang Ren, and many generals and colonels even used to be part of this person."

"If Zhang Ren is killed, the rest of the generals in Yizhou will definitely fight to the death with the same hatred. In this way, if the lord wants to attack the entire territory of Yizhou, he will definitely suffer great losses. ”

Chen Xu's heart sank when he heard this, and he was slightly moved.

He knew that the two of them had a high prestige in the army, but he didn't expect it to be so high.

His brows were tightly wrinkled together, and Chen Xu said: "It is said that the two are willing to surrender, even if the generals and soldiers under my command are dissatisfied, I will try my best to appease them and reuse the two." ”

"However, the two of them are extremely loyal to Liu Jiyu, and it may be impossible to persuade them to surrender."

Zhang Ren did not surrender to Liu Bei in history, and finally ended up in a different place, but he also achieved his reputation for loyalty.

Although he didn't know much about Deng Xian, after getting along in a short period of time, Chen Xu also knew that this person was iron-clad and would not surrender easily.

Otherwise, Deng Xian would not have dared to scold the generals angrily and sarcastically mock Chen Xu even when he was captured.

Deng Xian acted like this, why didn't he deliberately seek death?

With a wide range of knowledge, Chen Xu also knows what kind of people are willing to surrender and which kind of people are unwilling to surrender, and they all know it.

Generally, the captured generals, although they have only just begun, will be coaxed and put on a posture of looking at death as home, but in fact, the posture is not too tough.

All they need is a step, if Chen Xu personally unties them and comforts them with kind words, this kind of person will easily surrender.

On the contrary, the attitude of Yan Yan and Deng Xian shows that they will not surrender.

Zhang Song looked at Chen Xu, who was frowning, but laughed and said, "If you want the two to surrender, although it is difficult, it is not impossible. ”

Chen Xu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Please also ask Ziqiao to teach me!" ”

Zhang Song didn't take it seriously, and said: "Deng Xian has long been determined to die when he was captured, so I insulted him with words to arouse his resentment." ”

"If there is resentment and unwillingness in his heart, he will dilute his will to die, as long as Deng Xian is not bent on seeking death, the lord will have the opportunity to persuade him to surrender."

Chen Xu suddenly realized that Zhang Song was also well-intentioned.

Deng Xian's defeat and loss of the Sword Pavilion was a great shame in life.

Zhang Song deliberately said that Deng Xian was a mediocre talent, blamed all this defeat on him, and said that he would always bear the infamy of a loser.

In order to stimulate Deng Xian, Zhang Song counted him down, and almost didn't say that Deng Xian was a waste.

As long as Deng Xian pays attention to his reputation, he will naturally be unwilling, and then want to prove that he is not a mediocre talent.

If you are unwilling, you won't want to seek death, as long as you don't want to seek death, there will always be a chance to surrender you.

Chen Xu personally poured a glass of wine for Zhang Song and said, "Ziqiao, I blamed you for it before. ”

Zhang Song smiled but did not speak.

The two drank a few glasses of wine, and Chen Xu asked again: "For the matter of persuading Zhang Ren to surrender, Ziqiao has a clever plan to teach me?" ”

Compared with Deng Xian, Chen Xu attaches more importance to Zhang Ren.

If it weren't for Zhang Songli and the outside world this time, tens of thousands of Guanzhong troops would have been blocked outside the Sword Pavilion by him.

It can be said that Zhang Ren can be regarded as the first general in Bashu, and he is a loyal and righteous person, if he can't take it for his own use, Chen Xu will regret it for life.

Zhang Song put the wine glass on the table, stroked his beard, and said: "If you want to persuade Zhang Ren to surrender, it is more difficult than persuading Deng Xian to surrender. ”

"The lord is like this, so that he has a chance to get this person."

Chen Xu felt a little stunned, and said hesitantly: "I'm afraid it's a bit risky to act like this." ”

Zhang Song said categorically: "If the lord wants to get this person, he can only do this!" ”

After a long silence, Chen Xu let out a long breath, and then nodded heavily.

After discussing the matter of Zhang Ren and Deng Xian, the two pushed the cup and changed the lamp.

After three rounds of drinking, Chen Xu suddenly asked: "I have something I don't understand, I wonder if Ziqiao can solve my confusion?" ”

"What doubts does the lord have, but it's okay to ask?"

Chen Xu picked up a green vegetable, chewed it carefully and swallowed it into his stomach, and then said: "Zhang Rennai is a famous general of Bashu, his talent is extraordinary, and he is definitely not an easy person." ”

"I still can't figure it out, why would Zhang Ren rush out of the city to investigate the reality of our army?"

This doubt has been buried in Chen Xu's heart for a long time.

When Zhang Song set up a plan to lure Zhang Ren outside the city, Chen Xu felt a little unbelievable.

However, Zhang Song himself swore that this plan could succeed, and Chen Xu could only trust Zhang Song in the end and act according to the plan.

In fact, in Chen Xu's opinion, Zhang Ren can completely ignore the movements of the Guanzhong Army and hold the Sword Pavilion to the death, as long as it drags on for a while, things can be completely clear.

Or, Zhang Ren could have sent a team out of the city, instead of personally leading the troops out of the Sword Pavilion.

Zhang Ren's move to lead the troops out of the city was a completely stinky move, Chen Xu couldn't figure out what Zhang Ren thought at that time.

Zhang Song raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and said with a smile: "This matter is actually easy to figure out. ”

Then, Zhang Song said something slowly.

Why didn't Zhang Ren stick to the Sword Pavilion and drag it out of the city for a long time? It's not that Zhang Ren is unwilling to delay, but that he has a last resort.

Although Zhang Ren's record is extraordinary, he has been guarding the Sword Pavilion during this time, and he does not dare to send a single soldier to fight with the Guanzhong Army, which has made many people complain about it.

Many of Liu Zhang's courtiers are not proficient in military affairs.

They believe that the strength of the Yizhou army is no less than that of the Guanzhong army, and even if Zhang Ren can't break through the Guanzhong army, he won't keep shrinking in the city.

Zhang Ren's move was completely to demolish his own morale and delay the fighter.

It's like during the Warring States Period, Lian Po couldn't resist the Qin army, but he was transferred by King Zhao and replaced Zhao Kuo as the commander.

While not all of the two are the same, there are similarities.

And Zhang Ren also has his own considerations, if the Guanzhong army really retreats, he can take advantage of the hearts of the people of Bajun to Liu Zhang, and recapture it again.

If the delay is too long, it will not be easy to recapture Ba County after the Guanzhong Army has gathered the hearts of the people.

Zhang Ren thought about too many things and was under too much pressure, so he went out of the city to investigate.

Zhang Ren had already understood the cunning of Chen Xu's subordinates, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he wanted to go out of the city to investigate in person.

Because of letting others investigate, Zhang Ren had no way to rest assured.

What's more, Zhang Ren was not unprepared, and let Deng Xian answer in the back, and he was also cautious.

It's just that he didn't expect that Zhang Song would actually collude with the Guanzhong Army, resulting in his actions being completely controlled by the enemy.

Whether it was the four-way soldiers and horses ambushing Zhang Ren, or Chen Xu personally intercepting and killing Deng Xian, it was something that Zhang Ren did not expect.

If there was no Zhang Song as the internal response, it would be impossible for the Guanzhong army to ambush so beautifully, let alone leave Zhang Ren behind.

Therefore, the defeat of the Yizhou army this time should not be blamed on Zhang Ren.

After listening to Zhang Song's explanation, Chen Xu suddenly realized that he liked Zhang Ren more and more, and he hated to take him under his command now.
