Zhang Ren's willingness to surrender was an unexpected surprise for Liu Bei.
With this Shu general leading the troops, Liu Bei can mobilize more troops.
If he were to attack Luocheng by force, even if he could attack Chengdu, Liu Bei would lose a lot of troops.
Liu Mang wants to occupy Hanzhong and compete with Cao Cao, and he must not be stopped by Zhang Ren.
Fortunately, Zhang Ren's weakness is the little-known Liu Zhang.
"I deeply admire General Zhang's loyalty and righteousness."
Liu Bei cupped his hands and said: "I hope the general will join our army and jointly revive the Han Dynasty!"
Zhang Ren felt uncomfortable and said bluntly: "My lord Liu Zhang has never done anything wrong to you. Why do you want to destroy Guo and seize my lord Yizhou?"
As soon as he said this, Guan Yu was furious and said: "Zhang Ren is an ordinary man, don't be so presumptuous!"
"Could it be that you think Guan's Qinglong Sword is bad for you!"
Zhang Renzhi's words will undoubtedly portray Liu Bei as a disloyal and unjust person.
"Chang Yun, don't be rude to General Zhang."
Liu Bei spoke, and Guan Yu sheathed his sword.
"General Zhang, you can think that I, Liu Bei, am immoral!"
"Since the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, the world has been in chaos and the people are in dire straits!"
"The Han family first experienced Dong Zhuo's rebellion, then there was the pseudo-emperor Yuan Shu, and now there is the national thief Cao Cao!"
"The Han Dynasty is in decline. Whether it's Liu Jingsheng or Liu Jiyu, their bloodline is purer than mine, Liu Bei."
Liu Bei laughed and said: "But what did they do? Liu Yan and his son chose to stay in Yizhou, while Liu Jingsheng was indecisive and lost the opportunity!"
"I, Liu Bei, am not talented enough. I seek the Yellow Turbans, defeat Dong Zhuo, destroy Yuan Shu, and fight against Cao Cao! Every time I fight, I do it to revive the Han Dynasty!"
"Back then, I was Liu Jingsheng's guest general. The other party wanted to give up Jingzhou, but I didn't accept it. What next?"
Zhang Ren was a little intimidated by Liu Bei's momentum!
At least what he said is true!
While other members of the Han Dynasty were living in the world, seeking pleasure, or helping the tyrants to do evil, only Prince Jing of Zhongshan, who was of rare blood, was always working to revitalize the Han Dynasty!
"In exchange, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others almost gave Jingzhou to Cao Cao!"
"Bei made an oath at that time, even if he was infamy, he would never give up an inch of the country to anyone again!"
"Bei is sorry for Liu Jiyu, and deserves the name of a villain! But Bei is worthy of the people of the world, and worthy of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty!"
Liu Bei's words were so righteous that the Yizhou generals who had just surrendered were deeply moved.
"We are willing to follow the lord to the death and revive the Han Dynasty!"
The generals knelt on one knee, and even Zhang Ren couldn't help but want to kneel down to Liu Bei!
Is this the hero of the world?
"General Zhang, Cao Cao has seized the throne and is holding the emperor hostage to order the princes."
"Sun Quan occupies a favorable location and the dangers of the Yangtze River make it easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"But my lord has harmony and harmony! Mencius said that the weather is not as good as the right place, and the favorable geography is not as good as the harmony."
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and walked towards Zhang Ren, "May I ask General Zhang if he would like to fight side by side with my lord?"
Zhang Ren took a deep breath, then knelt on one knee and said: "My lord, Zhang Ren is willing to surrender!"
Zhang Fei quietly looked at Guan Yu and whispered: "Second brother, when did the eldest brother become so sharp-tongued?"
Guan Yu responded: "Yesterday, I saw Mang'er persuading my eldest brother, saying that since ancient times, deep love cannot be retained, and only tricks can win people's hearts!"
Zhang Fei was stunned and looked at his second brother, "Don't call me if you are eavesdropping!"
Guan Yu's old face turned red, "You were snoring like thunder at that time, how can you blame me?"
Liu Bei winked at Nizi from time to time. The father and son had worked hard for Zhang Ren yesterday.
Liu Mang caught Zhang Ren's weakness and first asked him to give up the idea of committing suicide.
Then it’s Liu Bei’s performance moment, sincerity is his ultimate skill!
Liu Bei's speech convinced Zhang Ren. At least he no longer thought Liu Bei was a hypocrite.
Finally, Zhuge Liang finished the show, and the three of them worked together flawlessly.
Of course, the premise is that Liu Mang can defeat Zhang Ren.
Luocheng fell, and Chengdu was just around the corner.
When Liu Zhang heard that Zhang Ren was defeated and surrendered, he collapsed in his seat.
"My lord! Chengdu still has 30,000 troops, and they are well-prepared and well-supplied. Liu Bei cannot easily conquer it!"
Huang Quan gritted his teeth. As long as Zhang Ren surrendered, Leng Bao and others led by him would also join Liu Bei.
Now Liu Zhang can only stay in Chengdu!
"That's it!"
Liu Zhang sneered: "Didn't you see that even Xiliang Ma Chao appeared in Liu Bei's army?"
"This shows how skillful my nephew is! He allowed Ma Chao to escape in time and gave Cao Cao and Han Sui a bloody beating."
"So what if we are trapped for a year? It's just an advantage to Cao Cao."
Liu Zhang motioned to Huang Quan to bring a pen and paper.
"Liu Xuande, in order to revive the Han Dynasty, you would rather attack your fellow clan members. I admire your determination."
"What a pity. Even if I hand over Yizhou, I will never make you feel better!"
"If it is made public, I will open the door and surrender, and a new Yizhou Shepherd will replace me!"
Huang Quan was stunned after seeing Liu Zhang's handwriting.
"Lord...are you going to..."
"From now on, he will be your lord!"
On that day, the gates of Chengdu were opened wide, and Liu Bei's army entered the Land of Abundance without any effort.
Liu Zhang went out to surrender in person. Liu Bei was about to speak when he saw Liu Zhang step forward.
"We are willing to surrender to Mr. Liu Mang!"
"This is the seal of Chengdu and the household registration list. I hope you can check it, sir!"
"We all consecrate Mr. Liu Mang as the shepherd of Yizhou!"
Liu Bei was so angry that Liu Zhang was obviously disgusting with him!
At least Liu Mang's current identity is Yizhou Mu, and Liu Bei is just the rear general Yuzhou Mu.
Yuzhou does not belong to Liu Bei's territory at all, but his son Liu Mang has already occupied Yizhou.
Is the co-author's son more powerful than me?
Liu Zhang smiled half-heartedly, "Xuande, I will leave the Han Dynasty to you!"
Liu Bei said expressionlessly: "Ji Yu, just stay in Chengdu. I still have many things to ask you."
Liu Zhang waved his hand, "No! It's better for me to go to Jingzhou, so that we can be out of sight and out of mind!"
Liu Bei took a deep breath, then waved his hand and ordered Zhang Ren to go to Jingzhou to assist Zhao Yun.
Wenpin and Gan Ning escorted him all the way and stayed in Jingzhou to wait for Zhao Yun's orders.
Neither Liu Zhang nor Zhang Ren had any objections to this.
However, after Liu Bei entered the city, there was a commotion among soldiers soon.
"Meng Qi, what is going on?"
Liu Mang didn't understand why. The soldiers who followed him on the expedition were in good military discipline, but the soldiers on his father Liu Bei's side were a little restless.
"Sir, I heard that my lord surrendered these soldiers that day and promised to reward them once Chengdu is captured."
"My lord, there is actually nothing wrong with this move..."
Ma Chao then looked at Liu Mang awkwardly. After all, no one expected that Liu Mang would take Luocheng without any effort.
Seeing that the situation was over, Liu Zhang also chose to surrender.
Liu Bei's previous promise was held on by the surrendering soldiers.
