Chapter 919: Cutting off Liu Bei's back path


Zhang Xiu made up his mind to submit to Wang Can, and of course he did not want to have anything to do with Liu Bei.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Xiu ordered: "Blow Liu Bei's envoy away."

Before the soldier could speak, Zhang Xiu immediately changed his mind and said: "Liu Bei sent an envoy last time, and I already rejected Liu Bei's request.

Now he sends an envoy to visit again.

It's annoying.

If Liu Bei doesn't get some help, Teach him a lesson, he will definitely send someone to kill Liu Bei's envoy and hang his head on the tower."

"promise" The soldier replied and immediately carried out the order.

Just as the soldier stepped out of the hall and was about to leave, Zhang Ren suddenly shouted: "Slow down!"

The soldier immediately stopped and turned around with a puzzled look on his face.

He heard from the servants at the house that the person sitting below was Zhang Xiu's second brother, so the soldier stopped, otherwise he left directly.

The soldier's eyes turned and landed on Zhang Xiu, waiting for Zhang Xiu to speak.

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "We'll go out later."

The soldier turned around and walked back, standing respectfully in the hall, waiting for Zhang Ren to speak.

Zhang Ren smiled calmly and said: "Brother, since Liu Bei has sent envoys several times and wants to capture Wancheng without spending a single soldier, why don't we go with the flow and give Liu Bei a chance?"

Zhang Xiu asked: "Junior brother, what do you think?"

Zhang Ren first looked at the soldiers and ordered: "You go and wait outside for now, the general and I have something to discuss."

Seeing that Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu were so close, the soldier turned and left the hall.

When he walked out of the hall, he was still filled with doubts.

The attendant in the house said that the person who came was Zhang Xiu's second brother.

Why did the two of them address each other as brothers?

It was so puzzling.

The soldier shook his confused head and strode out of the hall.

Outside the hall Waiting for Zhang Xiu's summons.

Zhang Xiu said: "Junior brother, you are so mysterious, what do you think?"

Zhang Renxiao said: "Brother, I think we can order the soldiers who resist Liu Bei along the way to make them give up resistance.

And tell Liu Bei's envoy that they are willing to submit to Liu Bei.

When Liu Bei arrives in Wancheng, he will not open the city gate and turn him away. outside."

Zhang Xiu frowned slightly and said, "If this happens, wouldn't Wancheng be in danger?"

Zhang Ren said seriously: "Wancheng is indeed in danger, but senior brother can use this to make meritorious deeds."

Zhang Xiu became interested and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Zhang Ren said unhurriedly: "We cannot allow Liu Bei to attack the city, and we must defend Wancheng.

What I mean is to induce Liu Bei to lead troops to Wancheng, and then play tricks on Liu Bei, making Liu Bei angry and attack the city.

And. before that , we sent someone to inform the lord, asking him to lead his troops to hurry up and cut off Liu Bei's retreat.

When the lord leads the troops to Wancheng, our two armies will attack Liu Bei together.

In this way, although the senior brother faces the difficulty of defending the city, he can stand up. great merit" Zhang Xiu put his palms in his hands and laughed, saying, "Okay, okay, junior brother, this is a great idea.

Thank you very much, brother."

Zhang Ren said: "Senior brother can make contributions, and junior brother can also take advantage of it."

Zhang Xiu immediately said: "Okay, let's do it.

By the way, junior brother, you shouldn't be here alone, right?"

Zhang Ren nodded and said: "No, I also brought ten cavalry, they are responsible for communications."

Zhang Xiu said: "Well, junior brother, please write a letter immediately and select a few soldiers to send the news about Wancheng to the King of Shu, so that he can lead troops to attack Liu Bei."

As he spoke, Zhang Xiu's eyes flashed and his face flashed.

With an excited expression.

As long as he can defeat Liu Bei, he will give Wang Can a big gift.

Zhang Ren stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Senior Brother, Junior Brother, take your leave."

Zhang Xiu stood up and sent Zhang Ren out of the hall, and then ordered his soldiers to find Liu Bei's envoy.

Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren have already discussed it and there is no problem.

He pretended to hesitate in front of Liu Bei's envoy for a while, and then reluctantly agreed to submit to Liu Bei, as if he was really convinced by Liu Bei's envoy before he was willing to submit.

When Liu Bei's envoy left, his face was filled with glory and a smile.

As a new envoy sent by Liu Bei, he persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender for the first time, which was considered a great achievement.

Liu Bei's envoy left, and Zhang Xiu shouted: "Come here, find Zhang Xian and Lei Xu."

The soldiers immediately went to convey the order.

About a quarter of an hour later, both Zhang Xian and Lei Xu rushed to the governor's house.

When the two received the news, they were still training soldiers in the military camp.

When they learned that Zhang Xiu had an order, they quickly ran to the governor's house.

The two of them were wearing armor, and their breathing was a little hurried.

They bowed their heads and said, "General Zhang Xianlei said, pay homage to the lord."

Zhang Xiu waved his hand and said: "Sit" After the two sat down, Zhang Xian asked: "My lord, is there anything urgent you want to do with us?"

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "I have decided to submit to the King of Shu."

After hearing this, Zhang Xian and Lei Xu felt relieved.

They had long discussed with Zhang Xiu who to submit to.

Compared with Liu Bei and Wang Can, Wang Can was undoubtedly stronger, and submission to Wang Can could easily be guaranteed.

Now that Zhang Xiu has made up his mind, they don't have to worry about the future.

Lei Xu thought for a while and asked, "My lord, have you thought it through clearly?

You can't be careless about this matter."

Zhang Xiu said seriously: "I have contacted the people of the King of Shu and sent a message."

Zhang Xian and Lei Xu both had surprised expressions on their faces.

They didn't expect Zhang Xiu to move so fast.

But no matter what, this is a good thing for them.

Zhang Xiu added: "I came to you to prepare you for battle."

The two of them were immediately confused.

Why should they fight if they chose to surrender?

Zhang Xiu explained: "Liu Bei sent an envoy just now.

I have pretended to submit to Liu Bei, but my original intention was to wait for Liu Bei to arrive in Wancheng and keep Liu Bei out.

When Liu Bei became angry, he would definitely attack Wancheng.

Therefore, The two of you must be prepared to fight, and be sure to prepare the equipment to defend the city, etc., so that nothing goes wrong. " Zhang Xian asked: "My lord, why do you pretend to submit to Liu Bei?"

Zhang Xiu replied: "We have to delay the time for the King of Shu.

We will wait for the King of Shu to lead his troops behind Liu Bei's army, and then send out troops to attack Liu Bei together with the King of Shu.

At that time, you two will also fight bravely to kill the enemy.

Enemy generals must make meritorious deeds to gain the respect of the King of Shu, do you understand?"

Lei Xu and Zhang Xian said in unison: "The general will finally understand."

Zhang Xiu nodded, waved his hand and said, "Let's get ready, and be sure not to leak the news."

"promise" Zhang Xian and Huang Xu saluted Zhang Xiu with clasped fists and left the hall.

After Wang Can announced the agreement he and Cai Mao had reached, Cai Mao had no choice but to retreat.

The Shu army had no worries and rushed towards Wancheng quickly.

Although there were nearly 10,000 more mouths in the Shu army's camp, they could force Cai Mao back, and these nearly 10,000 mouths were also the key to Wang Can's future contact with Jingzhou.

Therefore, Wang Can asked the person in charge of logistics not to withhold food and not to despise the captive Chu.

Army soldier.

The army sped up and hurried on, arriving in Anzhong County in a few days and approaching Wancheng.

At this time, Liu Bei was getting closer and closer to Wancheng.

Just as Wang Can continued to rush to Wancheng with his army, seizing every minute and every second, the soldiers sent back by Zhang Ren passed the news back that Zhang Xiu had agreed to submit.

Zhang Xiu took the initiative to surrender and was willing to hand over the military power of Nanyang, which was undoubtedly a good sign.

Not only that, Zhang Ren also told him and Zhang Xiu about their plans to plot against Liu Bei.

Wang Can understood the situation clearly and immediately ordered the army to change its path.

Instead of going straight into Wancheng, they would kill in the direction Liu Bei was rushing towards Wancheng, preparing to cut off Liu Bei's retreat, and then attack Liu Bei with Zhang Xiu's army.

Although the journey has become longer, this strategy is undoubtedly a good one.

As long as Liu Bei's retreat can be blocked, not only can Nanyang County be captured, but Liu Bei can also be severely damaged.

It would be best if Liu Bei could be killed. s: The fourth update is completed and it’s time to call it a day
