At night, when the moon and stars were thin, a man was hanging from the hanging basket. After walking a hundred steps in the darkness, he was caught by Zhao Wei's rebels and dragged to Zhao Wei's tent.
"Who are you? Are you sneaking out of the city late at night to find reinforcements for Liu Zhang?" Zhao Wei asked coldly, feeling disgusted when he saw the ugly face and short stature of the person in front of him.
The captured man broke free with his hands, got rid of the restraints of the soldiers, raised his head and said: "Don't leave Zhang Song in Yizhou, I'm here to give a gift to the general."
"Zhang Song?" Zhao Wei frowned and said, "You are an important minister of the Prefectural Mufu. Why did you come to seek refuge with me? It's obviously a trick to surrender. If someone comes, drag him out and kill him."
Two sergeants immediately stepped forward. Zhang Song was resolute and said in a mocking tone: "I originally thought that Zhao Wei, the general of Zhongdong Zhonglang, was an unparalleled hero, but I didn't expect to be so ignorant of right and wrong. It doesn't matter, I, Zhang Song, am blind.
Come and take refuge with such a lord who is doomed to defeat. Since you will die sooner or later, it is better to die happily now."
As he laughed and walked out of the tent, Zhao Wei pondered for a moment and immediately shouted: "Wait a minute, Zhang Farewell, you said you are sincerely surrendering, teach me how to trust you."
Zhang Song turned around and said with a calm smile: "General Zhao, although I am a farewell to Yizhou, I am not reused by Liu Zhang at all. Every time I have an opinion, it is never adopted. How can I stand out with such a dim-witted master?"
Today I was fortunate to hear that the general led troops to recapture Xichuan. I thought I would meet the Ming Lord, but I didn't expect to be jealous of the general. Zhang Song is really heartbroken."
Zhao Wei thought that he had defeated Liu Zhang and took control of Yizhou, so he needed the support of these ministers. Zhang Songgui was Yizhou's farewell, so he should be able to use it, so he stepped down and walked towards Zhang Song. He laughed and said: "Zhang Songgui came to surrender. Zhao Wei was deeply impressed.
I'm honored. Zhao has long heard that Biejia is depressed in the Prefectural Mufu and abandons Liu Zhang now as a desertion to the light. Please go down and have a rest. When I capture Fucheng and enter Chengdu, I still need Biejia's help in everything."
"Wait a minute." Zhang Song waved his hand and said loudly: "Zhang Song is very grateful to be appreciated by General Zhao. Zhang Song said that he would give the general a gift, so how could he make a mistake?"
"Gift? What gift?" Zhao Wei asked doubtfully.
"One thousand soldiers, one city."
Zhao Wei's general Li Yi stood up from his seat and said, "Biejia is a civil servant and he is not in charge of the army, so how can he have soldiers?"
Zhang Song said to Zhao Wei: "Hasn't General Zhao heard that Deng Xian, the old general of General Zhao, is in Fucheng? Deng Xian is a member of the Deng family, a wealthy family in Jiangzhou. He is deeply concerned about the comfort of his family and is grateful for General Zhao's support in the past. I express my surrender to you here."
I mean, now General Deng is guarding the west gate of Fucheng. As long as I send out the signal arrow, General Deng will open the city to welcome the general."
"Oh? Seriously?" Zhao Wei was overjoyed: "If this is the case, I will lead the troops to Xicheng now. With General Deng as internal support, we will be able to capture Fucheng in one fell swoop. Liu Zhang's death will not be far away."
"Slow down." Li Yi saw that Zhao Wei was too excited and immediately stopped him: "My lord, you are the commander-in-chief of the three armies. You can't take risks lightly. It's better to send a general to go forward." Li Yi said to Zhang Song: "I am the general.
If we do this, it’s not that we can’t trust Zhang Biejia, but it’s dark and we can’t see clearly, so accidental injuries are unavoidable. I believe that if General Zhao doesn’t go, General Deng won’t doubt our sincerity, right?”
After Li Yi finished speaking, he stared at Zhang Song. Zhang Song knew that if he persuaded Zhao Wei to go in person now, he would definitely arouse suspicion, so he smiled and said: "This general is very worried. General Zhao's safety is important, and General Deng will understand."
In the dark night, a green sounding arrow shot into the sky. Zhang Ren and Deng Xian saw it on the city wall. Zhang Ren said: "The green sounding arrow means that Zhao Wei is not in the army. It seems that getting Zhao Wei to enter the city and kill him will not work. Let's implement the second set."
Plan." Deng Xian nodded.
After a while, there was a cry of killing from the west city gate, and then the city gate opened, and a troop rushed out from inside. The leader was Deng Xian. At this time, Zhao Wei's troops had not yet crossed the drawbridge, and arrows on the city were like arrows.
The rain fell and the city gate creaked shut.
"I am Deng Xian, and you are sent by General Zhao to support me." Deng Xian shouted while resisting the arrows.
General Zhao Wei was originally ordered to cooperate with others to open the city gate, but he didn't expect that when Deng Xian left the city, the city gate was closed. He could only retreat with Deng Xian. As they retreated, he asked: "Why don't you wait, General Deng?"
Our army arrived, opened the city gates, and led the soldiers out of the city."
Deng Xian said loudly: "It's all my fault. I didn't plan well. Zhang Ren suddenly came to check the city defenses. He found out the clues and killed our troops. Our army couldn't resist, so we had to leave the city."
"I see."
Zhao Wei personally welcomed Deng Xian. As soon as Deng Xian saw Zhao Wei, he immediately bowed his head and said, "General Zhao, Deng Xian is back." Deng Xian's eyes were slightly red, and he was extremely excited to see his old master.
When Zhao Wei saw Deng Xian's expression, he was proud of his charisma as a commander. When his former subordinates heard about his arrival, they immediately switched sides and helped Deng Xian up: "We are all brothers, we don't need to see anyone outside, but why did we end up like this?"
So cool."
Zhao Hao saw that Deng Xian was covered in blood, with many big holes in his armor and blood on his clothes. Deng Xian worshiped again: "General Zhao, Deng Xian is sorry for you. I originally wanted to offer the city to you, but unexpectedly Zhang Ren noticed that Deng Xian
Xian can't resist, so he can only abandon the city and leave. If he fails to live up to the general's expectations, he must be punished by the general."
Zhao Wei looked at the soldiers brought by Deng Xian. Almost all of them were covered in blood. Some were seriously injured and fell to the ground and could not get up. Some had drooped arms and could only hold the spear with their left hand. The situation was very miserable. Zhao Wei couldn't help but
He said: "Don't blame yourself. I know you have tried your best. Our army is ten times stronger than the enemy's, so why worry about not being able to conquer Fucheng? I will arrange the camp now, and you and the soldiers can rest."
"Thank you, General Zhao." Deng Xian was filled with gratitude and led the soldiers, supporting each other, into the arranged tent.
Li Yi stepped forward and said to Zhao Wei: "My lord, is it not good for you to place Deng Xian's troops in the main camp like this?"
Zhao Wei said: "Zhenghe is worried too much. Didn't you see that everyone in Deng Xian's troops was injured and almost unable to move? Now Liu Zhang is in a state of poverty and everyone in Fucheng is in danger. We should deal with these people who surrender."
Treat, that way more people will surrender. After Fucheng, there are also Mianzhu, Guanghan, and Chengdu. We can't keep attacking. The best strategy is to subjugate the enemy without fighting. Zhang Song and Deng Xian are the generals who will give
A role model for the generals in Chengdu."
After Zhao Wei finished speaking, he entered the tent. Li Yi glanced at Deng Xian's tent worriedly, but in the end he couldn't think of anything to worry about with a seriously injured army, so he also entered the tent.
Late at night, Deng Xian looked at the night and said to Zhang Song: "Farewell Zhang, why haven't the troops mentioned by my lord come yet? Our brothers' bodies are almost swollen with blood and water." The blood on those soldiers was from soldiers killed and wounded during the day.
blood, and the armor had been scratched in advance, making it difficult to distinguish in the dark, giving Zhao Wei the appearance of the entire army being seriously injured.
Zhang Song said with a smile: "General Deng, don't worry. Since my lord said there will be troops coming, there will be troops coming. Even if there are no troops, we now have a firm foothold in Zhao Wei's army and can attack at critical moments."
Deng Xian nodded and continued to wait.
At this moment, Deng Xian suddenly felt a slight tremor in the earth, which became stronger and stronger. He often watched cavalry drills in the Chengdu army, and Deng Xian knew that this was the sound of cavalry accelerating.
"Where did the cavalry come from? My lord has no cavalry in Fucheng. It can only be Zhao Wei's cavalry. Why are they sent out late at night?" Deng Xian looked puzzled.
Zhang Song laughed loudly and said: "Zhao Wei is still sleeping soundly in the tent. How can his cavalry move lightly? This must be the arrival of the troops that the lord said."
