In the early morning of the next day, Liu Bei led his army to Xiazhi and saw that the battle flag on the city tower had been changed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wei Duan is very polite, under the city of Shooting Books, I have surrendered, please retreat south quickly.

Liu Bei was so angry that he gritted his teeth and scolded.

At this time, turning back to the Immortal Pass must be a dead end, what should I do? Is the heavens going to kill me?

Li Jun and Zhao Ang, who had been following Zhou Cang's side, were escorted to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei looked up to the sky and sighed, shook his hand, and said excitedly: "Let them go, let them go home." ”

Li Jun and Zhao Ang were grateful. Zhao Ang returned to the city, but Li Jun came back halfway up the road, and said to Liu Bei: "King, there is a small road that leads directly to the city of Fu. If the king is willing to discard the baggage, the army can reach the city of Fu after three days. ”

"Frustrated?" Liu Bei looked at Li Jun in disbelief and exclaimed, "Do you mean Fucheng?" ”

………………

Immortal Pass.

The coalition army was surrounded, and the army of Zhu Ling and Pang Xi was trapped on a three-mile-long mountain road, losing ground and cutting off their vitality.

Yang Ren and Zhang Ren's Yizhou army attacked ineffectively, and the soldiers were frightened and hesitated in the face of the dense arrows and roaring ballistae of the Northern Xinjiang army.

Yan Yan was powerless, although he held his shield high, took the lead, and fought bravely, but his army was too small to move the Tiger Ben Battalion of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

In order to break through the siege as soon as possible, Pang Xi and Deng Xian did whatever it took to supervise the army to attack, but the Northern Xinjiang Army was like an Optimus Pillar Stone, standing firmly in the center of the battlefield without moving.

Zhao Yun personally went to the front line and commanded the two armies of Hao Zhao and Wang Chang to attack in turn, killing Zhu Ling, who was blocked after the break, and retreated step by step.

Late at night, Zhao Yun received news that Liu Bei led his army to withdraw from Hechi and was retreating from Xiacheng. Yue Fei and Huang Zhongyu reported that now that Hechi had been conquered, did the army follow and pursue and surround it?

Zhao Yunfei sent a message to Yue Fei, Huang Zhong, and Han Xian, and led an army of 20,000 to pursue overnight. Ordered Yang Feng to lead 5,000 men and horses to defend the city, and ordered Wang Shuang to lead 7,000 soldiers to support the Xianrenguan battlefield.

Zhao Yun asked all the troops to attack overnight, annihilate the rebels as soon as possible, and occupy the Immortal Pass.

………………

On the battlefield, the fierce drums were like stormy waves, and they shook the dark mountains. On the mountain road dozens of miles long, the dense bonfires are like stars in the sky, brilliant and dazzling, illuminating the mountains and the battlefield where the killing sound is shaking.

Zhu Ling's blood-stained robe sat silently beside a bonfire. Pang Xi, Deng Xian, and several generals of the unified army stood opposite him, anxious.

Just now, the scouts reported that the Northern Xinjiang Army was advancing rapidly along the ridges on both sides of the avenue, and it was estimated that by dawn, both flanks of the battlefield would be controlled by the Northern Xinjiang Army. At that time, the soldiers of the northern frontier were condescending, the arrows were raining down, and the army had to wait for death.

"Direction of Immortal Pass......" Zhu Ling slowly raised his head and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you still attacking?" ”

"General Zhu, please face up to the reality, don't expect Zhang Ren and Yang Ren's rescue anymore, they can't kill them." Pang Xi pointed to the direction of the Immortal Pass and shouted, "They are only one mile away from us, only one mile away...... Six hours, six whole hours, they didn't kill them, what else do you expect? ”

"General Zhu, the enemy encircled from the direction of Hechi stretches for more than ten miles, at least 50,000 people, and they continue to attack, and we can't resist it at all." Deng Xian was very excited, waved his hands again and again, and said loudly, "In front is the Northern Xinjiang Army, the army of Yang Ye and Hao Zhao, and the strongest army of the Northern Xinjiang Army. Even if we fight all the men and horses, we may not be able to break through. General Zhu, forget it, don't fight, leave us some people......"

These 15,000 people basically came from Yizhou, and in the past they were all the troops of Zhao Wei and Pang Xi. Later, he rebelled with Zhao Wei and fought a big battle with Liu Zhang. After Zhao Weizhan died, because Pang Xi's daughter was the wife of Liu Zhang's brother Liu Xun, and Pang Xi had a good relationship with Liu Zhang, he was able to rejoin Liu Zhang. However, his army suffered a lot of losses in the war, and only a few men remained.

Seeing that their subordinates had fallen one after another, and seeing that the army was in a desperate situation, generals such as Pang Xi and Deng Xian couldn't help it, they wanted to surrender and didn't want to fight anymore.

Zhu Ling closed his eyes and shook his head painfully.

"General Zhu, Hechi must be surrounded, the King of Qin and the army in the city are more auspicious, no matter how long we hold here, we can't save the fate of the fiasco." Pang Xi walked to Zhu Ling's side, leaned over and persuaded, "Northern Xinjiang has sent reinforcements, and it is inevitable to win Wudu, we have no way to retreat, there is no ...... Please, General Zhu, give the brothers a way to live......"

Pang Xi suddenly knelt down and pleaded silently: "We have been fighting with the King of Qin for a year, and we have endured countless hardships, what do we want?" Is it necessary to save the society and let these innocent brothers die here in vain? ”

Deng Xian and other generals knelt down in unison.

"What if the Northern Army refuses our surrender?" Zhu Ling looked at the soldiers standing around, looked at their desperate and helpless eyes, and asked helplessly.

Pang Xi smiled bitterly and said: "We have worked hard, we have done our best, and when we get to Jiuquan, we will at least have an explanation in the face of these dead souls." ”

Zhu Ling was motionless, like a sculpture.

He had a hard time making a trade-off, between loyalty and life. surrendered to betray Liu Bei, and since then he has become a traitorous sinner and a treacherous villain. If you don't surrender, more than 10,000 brothers, more than 10,000 lives, even if you die, you can't face these more than 10,000 unjust souls.

………………

In the early morning, the scouts reported again, and Yang Ren, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan withdrew.

Yang Ren had long wanted to retreat into the pass, but Yan Yan attacked desperately like a madman. On the opposite side was a group of his brothers and more than 10,000 lives, who were surrounded by the Northern Frontier Army, and if they were not rescued, they would be dead.

But relying on his own strength will not help at all. His soldiers were dwindling, and he was seriously wounded and unconscious. Yang Ren wanted to withdraw the army, Zhang Ren agreed, and continued to fight, except for letting more people die in vain, there was no point.

Zhang Ren and Yang Ren withdrew, and the last hope of the coalition forces to break through was dashed.

………………

Zhao Yun received a report that the coalition forces were going to surrender, and Zhu Ling, the commander of the coalition forces, begged to see Zhao Yun alone.

Zhu Ling sat opposite Zhao Yun, looking at the candle flame that shook slightly at the corner of the tent, his expression was in a trance, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Zhao Yun waited for a while, his sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, a sneer appeared on his face, and he said, "I haven't seen you for seventeen years, and General Zhu's spirit is still the same." ”

Zhu Ling seemed to be awakened by these words, his eyes slowly turned to Zhao Yun's face, and he said lightly: "Seventeen years? I barely knew you anymore, and at that time, you didn't have a beard and were very young. ”

On the battlefield of Jizhou that year, Zhao Yun commanded the cavalry of Northern Xinjiang, and he and Zhu Ling only had a few faces, and they had little contact with each other. Now knowing that this famous Zhao Yun is the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Army, Zhu Ling is very unhappy in his heart.

Seventeen years ago, everyone fought for the Han on the same battlefield, but now there is a heaven and an underground, how unfair the fate is.

"I don't want to waste my time." Zhao Yun said, "General Zhu surrendered, there must be some conditions, you hurry up." If I can promise you, I will agree, and if I can't, we will break up and continue the war. ”

Zhu Ling's eyes slowly narrowed, stared at Zhao Yun for a while, and said softly: "I only want to know one thing, whether General Zhao can ensure the lives of my army." ”

Zhao Yun thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, but you must promise me one condition." ”

Zhu Ling's eyebrows jumped slightly, his eyes drooped, and his hands trembled slightly, obviously forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "What conditions?" ”

"Bear the guilt and make meritorious deeds, and reduce the hatred between each other as much as possible." Zhao Yun said lightly.

Zhu Ling thought for a moment, sighed, and said dejectedly: "I'll help you take the Immortal Pass." ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and said lightly: "The Immortal Pass should be taken by General Pang." If I'm not mistaken, the soldiers of this army are mainly from Yizhou. Comparatively speaking, General Pang cares more about their life and death, and I am more relieved that the matter of seizing the Immortal Pass is handed over to General Pang. ”

Glancing at Zhu Ling lightly, Zhao Yun continued: "We surrounded Liu Bei, you go and persuade him to surrender." If Liu Bei would rather give up the lives of more than 10,000 people than surrender, then don't blame us. ”

Zhu Ling was furious and said sharply: "Zhao Zilong, I still have more than 10,000 people, and if you want to kill them all, it's not so easy." ”

"Really?" Zhao Yun pointed to the outside of the big tent and said coldly, "Then please go back and reorganize the army, and we will fight again." ”

Zhu Ling jumped up, turned around and left. But after a few steps, he stopped again.

He returned empty-handed, unable to explain.

Zhao Yun looked at his back and sneered: "If in Liu Bei's eyes, more than 10,000 lives are not as important as his life alone, then what battle are you fighting for him?" ”

………………

In the early morning, the drums on the battlefield sounded again, which was earth-shattering.

Yang Ren and the others hurriedly rushed to the Immortal Pass, nervously looking at the battlefield hidden in the mountains and forests, expecting a miracle.

The Northern Xinjiang Army rested for half a night, and Zhu Ling, Pang Xi and others might be able to take advantage of this time to recharge their energy and rush out with men and horses.

In the morning, a miracle finally happened. Pang Xi was covered in blood and led more than 500 people out of the encirclement.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Yun commanded the army to kill the pass and set up the battlefield.

In the evening, Pang Xi volunteered and asked to lead the army to defend the city tower.

Xianren Pass is small, and there are only thousands of troops of Pang Xi, Yan Yan and Yang Ren in the pass, and Zhang Ren leads the army to be stationed outside the pass.

In the early morning, Pang Xi ordered his subordinates to open the city gate, and the Northern Xinjiang Army took advantage of the situation to enter, and there was chaos in the pass. Yang Ren was caught off guard and was put on his neck with a knife by Pang Xi, so he had to order the whole army to surrender, and the Northern Xinjiang Army successfully occupied Xianren Pass.
