Chapter 693: Bloodstained Territory

The wind blew stronger and stronger, blowing the cloak behind Jiang Wu high, and he stared at Zhang Ren with a calm face in front of him, only to know that he had underestimated the heroes of the world.

In fact, it was not only him, the reason why Gong Du died in battle was also because he underestimated Yan Yan, a famous general in Bashu.

Over the years, the Guanzhong army has almost conquered and won battles, and every general in Guanzhong has more or less bred some pride.

In addition, the opponents of the Guanzhong Army in the past did not have many powerful figures, which made them not encounter too many setbacks.

However, Yizhou is full of talents, and Zhang Ren and others are local combatants, and they are very familiar with geography and all aspects, so they have a great advantage.

Maybe in the past, even if the generals were a little arrogant and underestimated the enemy, it was not a big deal, but when facing the famous generals of Bashu, this kind of psychology would make them irreversible.

The fallen leaves danced in the wind, and a golden leaf fell in front of Jiang Wu and was picked up by him.

Ignoring the Yizhou army in front, Jiang Wu muttered to himself: "No matter how green the leaves are, there will eventually be a time when they will wither." But in any case, he finally dressed up for the summer, and in that fiery years, he bloomed the splendor of life. ”

Zhang Ren looked at Jiang Wu, who was suddenly a little sentimental, and couldn't help but say: "The defeat of the Guanzhong army has been decided, and the day when Langzhong City will be broken is not far away. ”

"If Langzhong is lost, it will be difficult to defend the lonely cities of Dianjiang and Jiangzhou. The Guanzhong army lacked food and grass, and even if Chen Wenzhao led the army into Ba County, it was powerless. ”

"I have already sent General Deng Xian to lead the troops to garrison the Sword Pavilion, even if Xu Huang leads the troops to attack Guanghan County, it will be difficult to occupy the dangerous pass after all. As soon as my lord's army arrives, Xu Huang and others will become turtles in the urn. ”

"Isn't it a pity that the general is brave and talented, but he is only unknown in Guanzhong? If the lost general is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I will definitely report to the lord and reuse the general! ”

When they learned that Xu Huang and others led troops to attack Guanghan County, all the generals were shocked and wanted to quickly return to the army to rescue, but Zhang Ren's face did not change.

He thought that with Deng Xian guarding the Sword Pavilion, even if Xu Huang personally led the troops to attack the city, it would never be possible to conquer the city quickly.

Moreover, Liu Zhang learned that after Xu Huang's soldiers and horses occupied Zitong all the way, he would definitely send troops to recapture Zitong again and eliminate Xu Huang and others.

Xu Huang smuggled Zitong Shui, and there will not be many soldiers and horses under his leadership, even if he can hold Zitong, he will no longer be able to plan anything else.

Therefore, Zhang Ren believes that the situation in Guanghan County is not as dangerous as imagined. Of course, this was also because he sent Deng Xian to guard the Sword Pavilion in advance.

Otherwise, if Xu Huang captures the Sword Pavilion and transfers the grain and grass in Zitong City, he will definitely be able to defend the city, and then cut off Zhang Ren's back road.

It was precisely after seeing the situation in Guanghan County clearly that Zhang Ren proposed a pretended withdrawal of troops, and then used a strategy to break Liu Pi and seize Langzhong.

If this city can be captured, it can not only solve the dilemma of the Yizhou army's current lack of food, but also make the Guanzhong army led by Chen Xu have no food and grass supply in the short term.

If the Guanzhong army is short of food, it must retreat.

At that time, even though Xu Huang occupied Zitong, the lonely city was difficult to defend, and sooner or later the city would be broken.

In this way, the Guanzhong Army will not only suffer a major defeat, but also lose several generals, and break the myth of the invincibility of the Guanzhong Army.

But Zhang Ren thought about it more, he not only wanted to break through the Guanzhong Army, but also wanted to break the spirit of the Guanzhong Army, so he tried his best to recruit Jiang Wu.

Just imagine, if Jiang Wu, the general of Guanzhong, surrendered Yizhou, how shocking it would be after the news spread.

I'm afraid that the pride of the generals and soldiers in Guanzhong will also be shattered.

Jiang Wu suddenly heard Zhang Ren's solicitation and was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this situation to occur at all.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Wu asked, "How could an unknown person like me be so valued by General Zhang?" ”

Seeing that he was not rejected, Zhang Ren was secretly happy in his heart and said: "I heard that the general started in Mobei and led the cavalry to look at each other. Although Yizhou has elite foot soldiers and many talented and virtuous people, there are very few cavalry generals. ”

"If the general is willing to surrender and form a cavalry for my lord, the strength of the Yizhou army will definitely increase a lot."

"The general is my lord in commanding the cavalry, and his own status is also extremely prominent, isn't it better to be subordinate to others in the pass and be a foil for others?"

When Jiang Wu heard this, his face showed a look of interest, but he still shook his head and said: "The lord treats me well, if I switch to others, won't I be scolded by the world?" ”

Zhang Ren persuaded again: "The general's words are wrong, the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose the master to do things." ”

"Although Chen Wenzhao seems to be extremely powerful, he is actually in crisis, and he is not very useful for being a great talent like a general."

"He coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, although he was a general of the dynasty, he was actually ****, and the heart of the usurper was known to the world."

"If it crosses the slightest, it will surely be discussed by all the princes of the world. Thinking that Yuan Benchu of Jizhou, Cao Mengde of Xuzhou, Sun Bofu of Jiangdong, and Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou are by no means general. ”

"If the princes ask for it, the day of its destruction is not far off."

"My lord Liu Yizhou is a relative of the Han family, occupying the land of Bashu, the country of abundance, and Gaozu became an emperor because of it. Moreover, Yizhou is full of talents, the people return to their hearts, and my lord is even more thirsty for talents, and he can't take all the talents in the world. ”

"If the general is willing to surrender, my lord will definitely welcome him and treat the general like his heart."

I have to say that Zhang Ren's eloquence is indeed good, and after a few words, he said that the first prince in the world was dangerous, and praised the weak Liu Zhang as rare in the world.

When Jiang Wu heard this, his face actually showed a look of interest, and he said with some struggle: "This way, it's not good." ”

Seeing this situation, Zhang Ren was even more overjoyed and continued to persuade Jiang Wu.

The two talked for a while, and suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, but saw Leng Bao coming over with a group of men and horses.

After Leng Bao saw Jiang Wu, it was the enemy who was very red when he saw him, and said to Zhang Ren: "A nobody, what is the general talking nonsense with him?" Kill them directly, and then pursue the fleeing Guanzhong army. ”

When Jiang Wu heard this, he immediately glared at him and scolded: "The nobody almost killed you, you thief can't even compare to the nobody!" ”

Leng Bud was furious, and wanted to command the soldiers and horses to move forward to cover the kill.

Zhang Yiyi wants to say that Jiang Wu is descended, where can Leng Bud be presumptuous? He immediately reprimanded him and didn't let Leng Bud continue to speak.

Although Leng Bao was not angry in his heart, because of Zhang Ren's life-saving grace, he did not continue to speak, but just glared at Jiang Wu angrily.

After repulsing Leng Bao, Zhang Ren once again sincerely persuaded Jiang Wu to surrender.

Jiang Wu stared at Leng Bao viciously, and said, "With this guy there, how can I surrender?" ”

Zhang Ren persuaded him repeatedly, and even frequently hinted at Leng Bao, asking him to come forward and reconcile with Jiang Wu in order to solve Jiang Wu's worries.

Although Leng Bao didn't understand what Zhang Ren had in his heart, he could only bite the head and express his willingness to abandon old grievances with Jiang Wu.

It was only at this time that Jiang Wu turned his anger into joy and said, "Since the general is so earnestly pleading, if I don't agree again, wouldn't I really be a little ignorant?" ”

Zhang Ren was overjoyed and said: "If the general is willing to help, our army will definitely be like a tiger!" ”

"General!"

"General, no!"

Jiang Wu agreed to surrender, but the soldiers behind him spoke out against it, and some even pointed their weapons at Jiang Wu and glared at him angrily.

Jiang Wu turned pale and shouted: "I was just a horse thief on the grassland before, no matter who surrendered, as long as I can live well, wouldn't it be the same?" ”

Some of the cavalry behind him were silent, just looking at Jiang Wu with a little disappointment.

Some shouted, "I'd rather die than surrender!" ”

Seeing this, Jiang Wu looked at Zhang Ren with some embarrassment, and said, "Your Majesty is not strict, which makes the general smile." ”

Zhang Ren smiled slightly, did not speak, and Leng Bao was even more disdainful of Jiang Wu in his heart.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "If the general really wants to surrender to the Yizhou army, I will clean up the door for the lord today, and the friendship between you and me for more than ten years will be severed from now on!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a big man waving his weapon, wanting to step forward and kill Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly rushed to Zhang Ren's side, shouting: "General Zhang save me!" ”

Because of the answer, the two were not far apart, and when Zhang Ren saw that someone was going to kill Jiang Wu, he subconsciously stepped forward to protect Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu was getting closer and closer to Zhang Ren, and a fierce light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he rotated the big knife in his hand and killed Zhang Ren violently.

"The thief will die!"

Zhang Ren was caught off guard by Jiang Wu's attack, and was shocked, and hurriedly performed the peerless Hundred Birds Chaofeng marksmanship to defuse Jiang Wu's offensive.

Suddenly seeing such a familiar marksmanship, Jiang Wu was slightly stunned, and was pierced through the throat by the angry Zhang Yi's gun.

"General!"

The cavalry behind him who originally thought that Jiang Wu was going to surrender, saw this situation, and knew that the main general was preparing to attack and kill this person in order to paralyze Zhang Ren.

When many people saw Jiang Wu dead, they all had tears in their eyes and shouted loudly: "You will always be our leader, and you are willing to live and die with the leader!" ”

"Kill!"

A hundred elite cavalry that once crisscrossed the desert north, after abandoning life and death, the combat effectiveness that erupted was definitely strong and a little scary.

Even if the Yizhou army has an absolute superiority in strength, it is still unable to line up on the narrow road and give full play to its numerical advantage.

A hundred cavalrymen fought against the charge, even if the horses were stabbed to the ground, they still struggled to get up and slashed hard.

Zhang Ren brandished his weapon to block the front, and the spear conjured up one phoenix phantom after another, slowly blooming in the air, taking away one fresh life after another.

No matter how elite these cavalry are, no matter how fierce they are to death, the huge gap in numbers has finally brought this asymmetrical battle to an end.

It was almost dusk, and the sunset stained the sky red, as scarlet and dazzling as blood; The wind whined, as if the sky was weeping.
