A smile appeared on Lu Xuan's handsome face, and he said: "Zhang Ren, there is nothing wrong with being loyal to the master, but you must be loyal to the world. If one day, the people of Wu, my king, are in dire straits and the people are displaced, and you are not loyal to me,
The king has no objection."
Zhang Ren looked solemn, cupped his fists and said: "General, please remember the king's instructions!"
Lu Xuan stretched out his hand to lift Zhang Ren and ordered: "Zhao Yun!"
"exist!"
Zhao Yun took a step forward.
Lu Xuan ordered: "Reorganize all the troops and prepare to go north to Chengdu."
"Here!"
Zhao Yun answered with clasped fists.
Zhao Yun set about reorganizing more than 20,000 Yizhou soldiers, while Lu Xuan met with Lingbao, Liu Quan and Deng Xian, talking one by one to comfort the soldiers. In Lu Xuan's plan, Zhang Ren wanted to surrender, but these generals in the army,
Lu Xuan also needs to win over capable people.
The army rested for two days in Wuyang County. After the army was reorganized, Zhang Ren, as Zhao Yun's deputy general, led his people quickly north to Chengdu.
The army went north, successfully entered Chengdu, and was about to arrive in Chengdu.
This news reached Pang Tong's ears first. Pang Tong was excited. Although there was no news about Zhang Song, Lu Xuan had achieved his goal by surrendering Zhang Ren and leading his army north.
Pang Tong came to the Prefectural Mufu and saw Liu Zhang. He said straight to the point: "Liu Shijun, the king is about to arrive in Chengdu. The latest news is that there is still an hour and a half, so we have to prepare in advance and go to the south gate to greet him."
Liu Zhang had already adapted in his heart.
He had just begun to surrender. He tossed and turned at night, unable to sleep all night, and the gap in his heart could not be healed. Today, he has become accustomed to it and has numbed himself.
Liu Zhang put a smile on his face and said: "The arrangements are made by Military Advisor Pang, and I will obey the arrangements."
Pang Tong said: "Thank you for your hard work, Ambassador Liu."
Liu Zhang said quickly: "It's not hard, I am already a subordinate of King Wu. Now that King Wu is coming to Chengdu, I will naturally go to welcome him."
Pang Tong nodded, and arranged for people to notify Wu Yi, Qin Mi, Fazheng and others to come. The civil service team belonging to Liu Zhang who were staying in Chengdu were all recruited by Pang Tong and were all ready to welcome him.
In addition to Zhang Ren and others, Liu Zhang's generals, although there are others, are at the defense lines at various passes in the north of Chengdu. These people have not been dealt with for the time being.
Everyone gathered together, and Pang Tong led Gan Ning, Liu Zhang, Qin Mi, Fazheng and others towards the south gate.
The group arrived at the south gate and waited quietly.
When the army led by Lu Xuan arrived in Chengdu, Liu Zhang looked up and saw the mighty army coming in force. He looked at the flags fluttering with a complicated expression on his face.
Lu Xuan came to Yizhou with only a few hundred people. With the strength of hundreds of people, he stirred up the situation in Yizhou and made the entire Yizhou surrender.
Lu Xuan's methods are really powerful.
"Let's go, let's go and greet you."
Pang Tong was the first to speak.
Liu Zhang followed Pang Tong and walked forward. When everyone came to the front of the army, Liu Zhang stepped out and stood at the front. He picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground. He held the seal ribbon of Yizhou Mu in his hand and said loudly:
"Liu Zhang, pay homage to King Wu."
Lu Xuan took the seal ribbon and handed it to the soldiers. He stretched out his hand to support Liu Zhang and said, "Ji Yu will not let me down, and I will definitely not let you down."
Ji Yu is Liu Zhang's cousin.
call!!
Liu Zhang breathed a long sigh of relief.
Lu Xuan's words were a statement, which meant that he had landed safely. He was already a surrenderer, and with Lu Xuan's promise, he was completely at ease.
"Enter the city!"
Lu Xuan gave the order directly.
The army entered the city and stationed themselves inside the city.
Lu Xuan did not stay in the Prefectural Mufu, but rested in the military camp. In addition, Liu Zhang was also invited by Lu Xuan to live with him in the military camp on the grounds of connecting with each other.
Liu Zhang's surrender is certain.
In order to ensure the smooth control of Yizhou in the future and to ensure that no variables will arise, the most important thing is to keep Liu Zhang by your side.
Lu Xuan and Liu Zhang talked for a while, and after stabilizing Liu Zhang, he asked Liu Zhang to go down to rest. Then, Lu Xuan met with the officials of Yizhou and arranged for them to perform their duties. Finally, he called Pang Tong and Jia Xu.
Lu Xuan said: "We have captured Chengdu, and the next step must be Hanzhong. What do you think?"
Pang Tong took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I suggest you send your army north to attack Hanzhong. Especially in Hanzhong, Cao Cao's power is infiltrating. We must be quick and capture Hanzhong as soon as possible, otherwise Cao Cao will take advantage."
Lu Xuan said: "No matter what, the news of my appearance in Chengdu must have spread. If I continue to send troops, it will be equivalent to putting pressure on Zhang Lu. At that time, Zhang Lu will be forced to Cao Cao's side, and Cao Cao's army will move in.
In Hanzhong, the situation is even more complicated."
Pang Tong frowned slightly and said: "Your Majesty, it won't work if we don't send troops. If we don't send troops, Cao Cao's infiltration of Zhang Lu will be further intensified."
Lu Xuan asked: "Wen He, what do you think?"
Jia Xu smiled slightly and said calmly: "Zhang Lu cannot attack here for the time being. Once he attacks, Zhang Lu will feel the pressure and may surrender to Cao Cao. After all, Cao Cao arranged for someone to infiltrate Zhang Lu."
"At this stage, it's mainly about two things."
"First, arrange for someone to send a letter to Zhang Lu, stating the position of non-aggression between the two sides, and hoping that Zhang Lu can be the middle ground between Wu and Qin."
"As long as Zhang Lu maintains a neutral stance, the Wu State will not invade Zhang Lu, calm Zhang Lu's heart, and ensure that Zhang Lu will not submit to Cao Cao. If Zhang Lu submits to Cao Cao, the Wu State will send a large number of troops to directly attack Hanzhong County."
"While appeasing Zhang Lu, we also set out to infiltrate Hanzhong and mobilize our forces bit by bit. As long as Hanzhong has more forces that favor us, it will be easy for Zhang Lu to change his banner in the next step. Even if it is not achieved, it will be
It can restrain Cao Cao's power."
"Second, further control Yizhou. If we completely control Shu County, Ba County and other places, control all the places in our hands, and have enough power, it will not be difficult to go north to attack Hanzhong."
Jia Xu looked confident and said: "This is the advice of an old minister. Master your own basic situation first, and then go to Hanzhong."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Wen He's analysis makes sense, so let's do it. However, I have another idea. I plan to seize Yizhou and spread the news of Liu Zhang's surrender to Hanzhong and Luoyang. What do you think?
Sample?"
Jia Xu smiled and said: "On the one hand, King Shengming stimulated Cao Cao, and on the other hand, he forced Cao Cao to send troops. Once Cao Cao can't help but attack Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu may fall to us when he faces pressure."
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "That's what I mean."
Lu Xuan's eyes turned, fell on Pang Tong, and said in a deep voice: "Shi Yuan, you have played an indispensable role in capturing Yizhou this time. Yizhou also needs someone to be in charge, and someone is needed to serve as the governor. Are you willing to serve as Yizhou?"
