Wang Lei came from the inner city with a large number of civil servants. When he saw Liu Zhang, he bowed down and bowed down. Liu Zhang, who was covered in blood, reluctantly helped Wang Lei and gasped: "Wang Lei, the fact that you are here shows that you have great respect for me."
The officer is indeed loyal, but now that I am in dire straits, you are a civil servant and there is no need to be buried with me. You can leave on your own."
Wang Lei bowed eagerly: "My lord, although Wang Lei has no power to tie a chicken, he has a loyal heart. My lord is in a desperate situation, and Wang Lei is willing to live and die with my lord."
"Don't be foolish and loyal." Liu Zhang said feebly. After supervising the battle all night, he felt a little tired. "Generals should die on the battlefield and return their bodies wrapped in horse leather, but civil servants should govern one area and benefit the people there. What's the point of your Wang Lei dying on the city wall today?"
What's the use? Return to Chengdu, fulfill your duties loyally, and appease the people. Remember, whether Zhao Wei or I, the official, are guarding Yizhou, as a civil servant, you should put the people first, instead of fighting with me here.
Buried with him."
Liu Zhang was actually not that great. He would rather die than consider the people. He just didn't want to see a loyal minister like Wang Lei die in vain on the battlefield. But when Wang Lei heard it, he couldn't help but feel inexplicable. He loved the people so much.
My lord, what regrets is there in death?
Wang Lei cried and said: "My lord, as a civil servant, you should indeed put the people first, but as a minister, you should be loyal to the best of your ability. There is no such wise master as my lord, and warrior traitors like Zhao Wei have taken over Chengdu and Yizhou."
There is no future at all. The people must be in dire straits. Wang Lei would rather die than help the thieves. Please fulfill Wang Lei's loyalty, show his will with blood, and leave his name in history."
Liu Zhang looked up to the sky and sighed. Ancient people, especially the people of the Han Dynasty, all regarded loyalty as the highest moral standard, and people like Wang Lei regarded loyalty as life. Liu Zhang knew that he could no longer persuade Wang Lei and could only give up.
He looked at the civil servants behind Wang Lei and said in a deep voice: "What about you, if you want to leave, just leave."
More than a dozen civil servants were motionless. Those who wanted to leave had already left. Liu Zhang looked at the crowd and suddenly Gong Zhi was among them. Liu Zhang couldn't help asking: "County Magistrate Gong, are you willing to stay too?"
Gong Zhi originally didn't want to come to Dongcheng, but when Wang Lei summoned the civil servants and asked them to leave if they wanted, and those who wanted to stay went to Dongcheng, Gong Zhi felt terrified because Liu Zhang had left such a deep impression on him.
You are so insidious, hiding a knife behind your smile. Yesterday I was toasting you and praising you for your outstanding political achievements, but the next day I beheaded you.
Gong Zhi really couldn't figure out the situation. He was only afraid that he would be caught by Liu Zhang's soldiers as soon as he tried to escape, so he came to Dongcheng angrily. He thought that when the rebels broke through the city, he would find an opportunity to defect to Zhao Wei. The magistrate of Fucheng County
Even if you can't save it, your life should still be saved.
But now Gong Zhi was deeply shocked when he looked at the corpses on the city wall, the bloody soldiers, and Liu Zhang who was covered in blood. This scene made him feel that Liu Zhang was not only cold-blooded, but also a real person.
Lord, there are so many people who swear loyalty to him.
The tragic scene at the top of the city and the severely injured soldiers who defended the city gave Gong Zhi a huge psychological impact. At this time, the county magistrate, who had always been afraid of death, suddenly felt that death was not such a terrible thing.
When Liu Zhang asked, Gong Zhi looked at the top of the city and was stunned for a while before replying: "I am willing to stay."
Liu Zhang picked up his sword and turned around, looking outside the city. He didn't want to look at the people behind him. The rebels were about to attack the city. These people were just a push of corpses.
Wang Lei looked at Liu Zhang's back and suddenly shouted to the officials behind him: "Even though we are civil servants, at this moment, we should pick up our swords to kill the enemy and live and die together with the soldiers."
As Wang Lei spoke, he picked up a fallen general's sword from the ground and rushed towards the city. Behind him, Gong Zhi was stunned for a moment. He didn't know where he got the courage and shouted: "Are you going to stand here as prisoners?"
After saying that, he also picked up a sword and rushed out. The other civil servants looked at me and I looked at you. They finally started to pick up dead weapons on the ground. There were not many swords and other light weapons. Some civil servants waved their spears and rushed towards the city.
, courage is contagious, the soldiers on the front line do not care about life and death, and these civil servants also become soldiers in the blink of an eye.
The broad sleeves of his robe were flying at the top of the city. Liu Zhang tightened the hilt of his sword, and his eyes couldn't help but feel wet. There are many heroes in Sichuan, but it's a pity that he will die today, otherwise, he will definitely take these batches with him.
Loyal and righteous men create unparalleled achievements.
At this moment, Liu Zhang suddenly saw the chaos in Zhao Wei's camp in the distance. A large army came from a distance, like tigers coming down the mountain, and pounced on the rebel formation. Seventy-eight out of ten of Lei Tong's cavalry were killed. Deng Xian
The infantry also suffered all casualties. As soon as the large army arrived, Lei Tong and Deng Xian's tribe were immediately involved in the torrent.
"kill."
The leading general held his sword high, and the soldiers behind him were all brave and fierce. Zhao Wei's rebels fought bloody battles for a day and night, and their physical strength had reached the limit. As soon as the army arrived, Zhao Wei's camp fell in just one round. The army did not stop and fiercely fought.
The 20,000 rebels who rushed towards the siege of the city were stunned.
Wang Lei and others stopped and watched quietly what happened below the city. Fazheng, who was slowly picking up a sword on the ground, raised his head and looked at the unfamiliar army in front of him, his palms became sweaty.
When I picked up the sword on the ground, Fazheng felt extremely sad in his heart. It was hard to find a wise master. But why did I, Fazheng, fall into a desperate situation just after I met a wise master? God didn't even leave me a chance.
The sudden arrival of this army awakened the desperate Fa Zheng. Fa Zheng only hoped that it would not be Pang Xi's army. In that case, Xichuan would be in chaos. And the three to five years that the lord Liu Zhang said he could not wait for, he and those loyal to Liu Zhang
Civil servants and generals will have to wait.
But no matter what, I can follow Liu Zhang and develop some achievements without having to die at the gate of the small Fucheng.
"So what if Cao Cao and Yuan Shao unite the north? So what if Jiangdong is impregnable? With countless heroes in Xichuan and Ming Dynasty in power, I, Fazheng, can't fight against you?" Fazheng's heart was full of lofty ideals.
But Liu Zhang knew where this army came from, and there was uncontrollable joy on his face. The huge "yellow" character on the army flag shone brightly. Liu Zhang took a deep breath and said softly: "Huang Gongheng, you finally didn't."
it disappointed me."
Huang Quan brought 20,000 Dongzhou soldiers from Guanghan and killed them. The Dongzhou soldiers were refugees from the Sanfu who had been taken in by Liu Yan. They were brave and powerful, and one of them was as good as ten. Zhao Wei's army was at the end of its powerful crossbow, and was dispersed by the Dongzhou soldiers. Tens of thousands of troops were killed.
They were scattered across the wilderness, like a group of chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs, to be massacred by Dongzhou soldiers.
"The last general, Huang Quan, came late and put the lord in danger, and he deserves death." Huang Quan led his army to kill. The city gate creaked open at Liu Zhang's order. Huang Quan leaned down and bowed. All the civil servants saw this.
Liu Zhang's cronies came with troops to fight, and they were all overjoyed. Fazheng's heart finally fell to the ground. The most dangerous moment was finally over, and there would be a bright future in Xichuan.
Liu Zhang slowly sheathed his sword and said to Huang Quan: "Now is the time to plead guilty. I order five thousand Dongzhou soldiers to garrison Fucheng and drive out the scattered rebels in the city. Five thousand soldiers will sweep around Fucheng and recruit the rebels."
There are stragglers, and the rest of the soldiers will follow me to pursue Zhao Wei, so that not a single rebel can escape the net."
Zhang Ren stepped forward and said: "My lord has been supervising the battle all night. I will leave the pursuit of the rebels to General Huang and the last general."
Liu Zhang wiped his face with the water brought by the soldiers and snorted coldly: "Zhao Wei's army besieged the city and killed thousands of my loyal soldiers. Even the civil servants who followed me were almost killed in the east city. If I don't kill Zhao Wei, I will
It's hard to vent the hatred in my heart, so I ordered that all the bloody soldiers in Dongcheng should return to the inner city to rest and recuperate, and Dongzhou soldiers would follow me to pursue the rebels. Anyone who dares to refuse to surrender will be killed without leaving any trace."
