As we enter May, the weather is getting hotter and even muggier.
The army led by Zhang Ren is on its way. As the leading general, he is wearing armor and sitting on a horse with a solemn expression. As he walks, he looks at the surrounding mountains and rivers to understand the nearby geography.
Zhang Renzhijun has always been rigorous.
He ate and slept together with the soldiers, and there was nothing special about him. However, Zhang Ren was extremely dignified. Once a soldier broke the law or violated discipline, he would be severely punished.
At the same time, Zhang Ren was considerate of the soldiers and never deducted their military pay. He even used his salary to help ordinary soldiers when their families were in need. Therefore, the soldiers were afraid of Zhang Ren and respected and supported him very much.
It was approaching noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the sun was beating down on people's minds.
Zhang Ren raised his head, glanced at the sun, and ordered: "Give me the order, everyone rests where they are and prepares to eat."
The soldiers arranged it.
The army stopped, rested on the spot, and began to eat dry food to fill their stomachs.
Zhang Ren looked at Lingbao, Deng Xian and Liu Sui who were following them, and said in a deep voice: "The rebellion in Jianwei County in the south this time was very sudden and a bit strange. It's so good that someone suddenly rebelled under the banner of Ren Qi. I always feel that
Something’s wrong.”
"Ordinary bandits cannot break Wuyang County, nor can they kill He Zong. But this time, the bandits not only killed people, but also knew how to govern the place and appease the people. This is strange."
Zhang Ren said solemnly: "So we must be cautious when attacking Wuyang County."
He looked at Deng Xian and said, "General Deng, you are in charge of sentry duty. You should find out the general situation in Wuyang County as soon as possible. Only by knowing ourselves and our enemies can we respond accordingly."
"You will eventually understand."
Deng Xian nodded and answered.
Zhang Ren looked at Lingbao again and ordered: "Lingbao, you are leading the cavalry. The thousand cavalry under your command are ready to respond at any time. Once there is an army raid on our way south, your cavalry must be ready to fight.
."
Lingbao nodded and said, "I will finally understand."
"Report!"
A soldier came in a hurry and said anxiously: "General Zhang, Zhang Song is coming from the rear. I have something important to convey."
"bring it here."
A look of solemnity appeared on Zhang Ren's angular face. He was rushing all the way. He had just left Chengdu County today and entered the border of Wuyang County in the south. He was about to head towards Wuyang County when Zhang Song suddenly arrived.
The ominous premonition in Zhang Ren's heart became more and more intense, and he always felt that this incident was weird.
After a while, Zhang Song came.
Zhang Song was dressed in a brocade robe, and his ugly face had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He had an aloof and unruly look. His eyes were sharp and he ordered: "Zhang Ren, take the order."
"Zhang Ren takes the order."
Zhang Ren bowed and clasped his fists in salute.
Zhang Song took out Liu Zhang's order and said: "The envoy ordered Zhang Ren to lead his army back to Chengdu immediately and not go south again."
A look of surprise appeared on Zhang Ren's face.
The army he led had just left Chengdu, but Liu Zhang asked to withdraw. Moreover, bandits were still entrenched in Wuyang County. The rebellion in Wuyang County had not been resolved, so why did they go back?
Zhang Song snorted and ordered: "General Zhang, you will know exactly what happened when you return to Chengdu and see Ambassador Liu."
Zhang Ren's eyes were even sharper, and his stern look revealed murderous intent, which made Zhang Song's heart skip a beat for no reason.
Zhang Ren believes that the matter is definitely related to Zhang Song.
Otherwise, Zhang Song would not come.
Zhang Ren made a decision in an instant, unsheathed his sword, and the blade fell on Zhang Song's neck. He said coldly: "Zhang Song, tell me honestly what happened in Chengdu."
Zhang Song scratched his neck and said angrily: "Zhang Ren, do you want to disobey me?"
Zhang Ren increased his strength, and the sharp blade instantly cut a trace of skin.
A trace of blood seeped out from his neck.
Zhang Song's scalp was numb, a look of horror appeared on his face, and he quickly said: "Don't move, you will kill someone."
Zhang Ren sneered, and the strength in his hand further increased, so that the blade cut deeper into the skin, and blood flowed out. Zhang Song was so frightened that his body trembled, and he quickly said: "Don't move, I will explain, and I will explain everything honestly."
Zhang Ren removed his sword and said coldly: "Speak carefully, otherwise next time, instead of cutting your skin, I will cut your neck directly."
Zhang Song quickly said: "Zhang Ren and Liu Zhang have surrendered to King Wu. Now, King Wu's military advisor Pang Tong and general Gan Ning control Liu Zhang."
"Fazheng, Wu Yi and others all surrender."
"Chengdu is already in Pang Tong's hands."
"In addition, let me tell you that the chaos in Jianwei County was not due to an uprising by Ren Qi's subordinates. It was King Wu Lu Xuan who personally killed He Zong and Zhou Shi and seized Wuyang County. The arrangement of Jianwei County is to transfer you away from Chengdu
,convenient for movement.”
Zhang Song stared at Zhang Ren, regaining his confidence and fighting spirit, and said loudly: "Zhang Ren, the overall situation has been decided, especially Liu Zhang has surrendered. Now, Liu Zhang has ordered you to go back and surrender, do you want to betray?
?”
Zhang Ren raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.
Shocked in my heart.
He felt that the situation in Wuyang County was very strange, because after so many years, although there were bandits in Yizhou, no bandits could seize the seat of a county and know how to manage and guard against it.
I didn't expect it to be Lu Xuan.
Zhang Ren was thinking about how to arrange things this time.
Zhang Song didn't give up, and his eyes became more and more fierce. This time, his skin was cut open by Zhang Ren, and he was almost killed by Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren deserves to die. When he returns to Chengdu, he will suggest that Pang Tong deprive Zhang Ren of his military power, and then slowly
revenge.
Zhang Song urged: "Zhang Ren, are you going to betray Liu Zhang and disobey Liu Zhang's orders?"
Zhang Ren thought about it for a while, and suddenly his heart moved.
He has a plan.
Zhang Ren's eyes flashed fiercely and he said: "Zhang Song, I just disobey orders. Today, I will sacrifice your head to the flag first."
"you dare!"
Zhang Song shouted loudly.
"Of course I dare."
The sword in Zhang Ren's hand stabbed out like lightning. With a squeak, the blade pierced Zhang Song's chest. The sword pierced the heart and protruded from the back. Drops of blood dripped from the tip of the sword, constantly
Take away Zhang Song’s vitality.
Zhang Song's eyes widened, a look of pain appeared on his face, and his eyes showed disbelief.
Zhang Ren actually dared to kill him.
"You, you, how dare you? You, how do you..."
Zhang Song spoke from his mouth.
However, before he could finish his words, Zhang Ren drew out his sword and blood spurted out. Zhang Song screamed and fell to the ground, twitching twice and then lost his breath. This scene shocked Liu Sui, Ling Bao and
Deng Xian. The three of them all looked over, looking very surprised.
Liu Huang frowned and asked: "General Zhang, by killing Zhang Song, you have rejected Lu Xuan's surrender. What are you going to do next?"
