"General Wei, the smell of wine outside Didao City and the celebrations soaring into the sky inside the city were also staged for us on purpose?"
"good!"
With Liu Zhang's confirmation, Fazheng's mood became low again.
It turns out that from this time on, the identities of both parties were completely reversed. I thought it was Liu Zhang who was trapped in it, but I didn't expect that it was himself who couldn't extricate himself!
The switch between hunter and prey is really unexpected!
"Takanao, have you ever thought about a problem? There is so much wine in an empty city, which is a strange thing in itself!"
"What's more, this place is... Liangzhou!"
There is such a shortage of grain in Liangzhou, how can there be enough surplus grain to brew so much fine wine?
Fazheng was even more convinced. This was really a clever act that was misled by his cleverness. He wanted to give Liu Zhang a chance to get drunk, but he didn't expect that he was the one who got drunk all the time!
When Liu Zhang mentioned the aroma of wine, there was a trace of reluctance in Liu Zhang's eyes.
"You don't know how heartbreaking it is to pour all these drinks on the city wall!"
"No wonder the wine smells so strong!"
Fazheng exclaimed, but he didn't expect that all the wine that Han Sui had collected so hard would end up being fed to the city wall!
Liu Zhang was really willing to give up. These drinks were a huge fortune, and Han Sui endured severe pain to buy them.
I didn't expect Liu Zhang to be so decisive and waste it all without hesitation.
Thinking of Han Sui's reluctance and Liu Zhang's determination when pouring the wine, Fazheng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
It doesn't seem too unacceptable to lose to such a holy, wise, brave and decisive monarch.
"Han Sui's defeat is a foregone conclusion. Is Xiaozhi willing to surrender to me?"
Fazheng was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Liu Zhang to change the topic so quickly, let alone be so direct.
Surrender to Liu Zhang? It's not a bad thing for Fazheng, and it's even something he wants deep down in his heart!
He was just defeated by Liu Zhang, how could Fazheng be embarrassed?
Fazheng's eyes averted, and even his words became hesitant.
"General Wei, I..."
Seeing Fazheng's appearance, Liu Zhang felt cold in his heart.
Is it possible that after defeating him once, he will no longer be loyal to him?
Are all those hard-hearted words in the past in vain?
Fa Zheng was nervous, Liu Zhang was even more nervous than him, and he was complaining in his heart.
Fa Zheng was clearly his adviser in history, and getting help from Fa Zheng was a matter of course. Why is it so difficult now?
"Xiaozhi, you Legalists have been loyal for generations. Your great-grandfather Faxiong, grandfather Fazhen, including your father Fayan, which one is not a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and a pillar of the country?"
"Now that traitors are in power and the princes are rebelling, the four-hundred-year-old Han Dynasty has reached its most critical moment!"
"I destroyed the Yellow Turbans, punished the rebels, and unified Yizhou in order to clear up the troubled times and restore the glory of the Han Dynasty! I believe you have seen the order seeking talents from all over the world. I really hope that the talented people in the world who are loyal to the Han Dynasty can unite
Rise up and work together with me to kill the traitors in the world!"
Liu Zhang's eyes were extremely sincere, which made Fazheng feel a different kind of pride.
"Xiaozhi, come on! Witness the revival of the Han Dynasty with me!"
Liu Zhang stretched out his hands as if eager to welcome his own child.
"General Wei..."
Fazheng's voice became trembling, and his body and mind were completely moved by Liu Zhang.
Throughout ancient and modern times, Liu Zhang has been unrivaled in treating virtuous corporals!
To be able to show such sincerity in the face of a loser who is just in his weak years is probably unprecedented and unprecedented!
"How can the next defeated general be so valued by the general of the guard? Fazheng is filled with fear in his heart!"
"Today General Wei does not use the law to correct his shortcomings and is vulgar. I am willing to follow General Wei and contribute my own strength to the revival of the Han Dynasty!"
"Fuzheng, the people of Fufeng, pay your respects to the Lord!"
Liu Zhang's sincerity finally impressed Fazheng, and another top wise man joined the Yizhou Group!
"Takanao, please get up!"
Liu Zhang quickly stepped forward to help Fazheng, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Now that I have been filial and upright, why worry about the injustice in Liangzhou and the immortality of Ma and Han!"
Liu Zhang praised himself so much that Fazheng was not only not happy, but also felt guilty.
Not only did he have no merit, he also plotted against Liu Zhang from the beginning!
In other words, Liu Zhang, who was broad-minded, could ignore the past grievances. If it were another person, he would have killed him to vent his anger.
Thinking of this, Fazheng's gratitude to Liu Zhang deepened, and his heart became more determined, and he must assist Liu Zhang to achieve great things!
"My lord, you are so complimentary, how dare you be the right person!"
Liu Zhang smiled and shook his head, then gently patted Fazheng on the shoulder.
"There's a certain destiny somewhere! Xiaozhi, don't you think we are destined to be together?"
"There are twenty-three large and small cities in Longxi County and Hanyang County! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid Han Sui would still be holding on to the city and resisting desperately!"
"If we attack one city after another, we don't know how much time it will take and how many soldiers and horses we will lose! Thanks to you, we can completely capture the two counties with almost no effort, and even Han Sui will not be able to escape death!"
"
"If you look at it this way, Xiaozhi and I are not only very destined, but also my lucky general!"
Fazheng knew that Liu Zhang praised him sincerely, but when he heard these words, Fazheng always felt a little awkward.
"My lord, please don't say that anymore, I'm so ashamed..."
"Don't misunderstand Xiaozhi! No matter what, the rapid pacification of Liangzhou is inseparable from Xiaozhi's contribution!"
Perhaps it would be a good choice to use Fazheng as a spy sent by Liu Zhang!
Liu Zhang did not continue to joke, and immediately asked Fazheng about Han Suijun's situation.
After hearing Fazheng's detailed account, Liu Zhang felt mixed emotions.
Fortunately, Han Sui's elite troops were almost completely lost, and only Yan Xing from Jincheng County, Jincheng County, and 10,000 defenders were left.
The elite level of these 10,000 people was far inferior to the 40,000 troops that Han Sui brought with him. Therefore, the only problem left for Yan Xing of Jincheng County to pacify Jincheng County.
What is worrying is that Ma Teng has really formed an alliance with Han Sui again, and personally led an army of 50,000 people, with Ma Chao and Pang De as lieutenants, and went south from Zu Li.
According to the agreement between the two, I am afraid that Ma Teng has already arrived at Pingxiang City at this moment.
What reassured Liu Zhang was that Pingxiang was garrisoned by Huang Zhong and Wusheying, so defending the city would not be a problem.
Behind Pingxiang is Ji County, the seat of Hanyang County. With Zhang Liao in charge, even if he cannot defeat Ma Teng, he will never let the city change hands.
The only thing Liu Zhang was worried about was Pan Feng and Lu Su in the street pavilion. They only had 5,000 troops, and they were all infantry.
However, Ma Teng really had no reason to attack the street pavilion. If there was no precise information, Ma Teng would not even look at the street pavilion.
After all, the ultimate goal of Ma Teng leading his army to Hanyang County was Hebei County, not Anding County and Jieting in Guanzhong.
Just when Liu Zhang was thinking about countermeasures, a messenger came on flying horse and rushed directly in front of Liu Zhang.
"Hahaha! Xiaozhi, believe it or not, Han Sui must have been arrested!"
