"Now you are blaming me, a little girl, what do you want? Finally, you came to preach that you love the people like a son. Was it me, Guan Yinping, who caused this disaster? Hypocrisy and disgusting. I, Guan Yinping, was blind and killed your enemies for you.
, these fourteen days have been a shame for my entire life."
Guan Yinping was emotional. Liu Zhang frowned and looked at her. At this time, he also began to doubt his own judgment.
When I started playing chess, I was testing and came to the conclusion that Guan Yinping had tipped off the information. Was it because I had preconceived the idea? Could it be that all Guan Yinping's actions were just because of her kindness?
Now that Liu Zhang thought about it, given Guan Yinping's temperament, it was very possible.
It's just that I have been calculating for so long that I didn't realize it. From the bottom of my heart, I no longer believe that there is true kindness in this world.
However, I only told Guan Yinping about this matter, who else would inform the Xiliang Army?
At this moment, two soldiers escorted a woman to the city. A young general said: "Lord, when we were escorting the refugees into the city, this woman was peeking behind the urn. Xiliang soldiers entered the city, and this woman wanted to open the urn.
City gate, please come down, my lord."
"It's you?"
"Yunlu?"
Liu Zhang and Guan Yinping were both shocked.
"So you are Ma Chao's internal agent." Liu Zhang looked at Ma Yunlu, but immediately frowned. He did not tell Ma Yunlu about the refugees.
Originally, Ma Yunlu and the girl from the Western Region were both suspects, but after talking to Guan Yinping that day, Liu Zhang was infected by Guan Yinping's kindness. Even if his hands were stained with blood, even if this troubled world is a world of ruthless people, this is not the case.
It means kindness is not valuable. Kindness can also infect people.
Liu Zhang did it casually when he tested Guan Yinping, but finally gave up using refugees to test Ma Yunlu and the girls from the Western Regions.
But why does Ma Yunlu know now?
Guan Yinping looked at Ma Yunlu and said word by word: "Sister, was it you who handed over the secret letter to Ma Chao?"
Guan Yinping stared at Ma Yunlu closely. Ma Yunlu lowered his head. After a while, his head suddenly raised, "Yes, so what if it's me? It's me outside... Am I wrong to do this?"
"Do you know how many people you have killed?" Guan Yinping broke free from the soldiers' restraints. She had martial arts skills. The two soldiers couldn't hold her at all. Guan Yinping stood in front of Ma Yunlu and looked at Ma Yunlu sadly.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Ma Yunlu said incomprehensively: "Look outside, it's the Sichuan army that is killing the Xiliang army. It was the Sichuan army that ambushed the Xiliang army and caused the refugees to be killed. This was Liu Zhang's premeditation. Liu Zhang is old and cunning.
Our soldiers are being slaughtered. We should deal with Liu Zhang together."
"Then you should take advantage of the refugees entering the city and let the Xiliang soldiers take advantage of it?" Guan Yinping screamed. But the next moment, Guan Yinping's face darkened, as if all the strength in his body was gone.
"That's right, you are all right. It's my fault. I told you. If it weren't for me, the Xiliang Army wouldn't have entered the city while your Excellency was taking in the refugees. Your Excellency is right, and the Xiliang Army was right.
, Sister is not wrong, it was me who was wrong."
That day, after Guan Yinping talked with Liu Zhang, she felt very happy, really happy. I was happy that I had found a lord who could save the people. Guan Yinping had decided to follow Liu Zhang for the rest of his life. As long as Guan Yu's daughter made the decision, she would never do it in her life.
change.
Guan Yinping told Ma Yunlu that he wanted to sincerely serve Liu Zhang. Of course, Ma Yunlu would ask why he was determined. So Guan Yinping told Ma Yunlu the news that Liu Zhang would not avoid the sneak attack of the Xiliang army and wanted to take in all the refugees.
.
Unexpectedly, it would be like this, and Guan Yinping was completely disappointed.
With tears in her eyes, Guan Yinping looked at Liu Zhang and said, "Sir, I have leaked the news. If you want to kill or cut into pieces, I will not complain."
Liu Zhang turned around and looked at the battlefield. The Xiliang soldiers were quickly slaughtered by the sudden attack of the Sichuan army. Pang De fought with Huang Zhong for more than fifty rounds, but was knocked off his horse by Huang Zhong with a knife. A dozen soldiers captured Pang De alive.
Rivers of blood flowed into Wengcheng, corpses were everywhere, hundreds of Sichuan soldiers, thousands of Xiliang soldiers, and tens of thousands of refugees.
Children who have lost their mothers, mothers who have lost their children, and old people who have lost their children are in pain next to the bodies of their loved ones, and seriously injured people are crawling on the ground.
Guan Yinping stared blankly at the heartbreaking scene.
Liu Zhang took a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice: "Organize the refugees to cross the border, expand the refugee camps, provide Guanzhong grain, and provide Guanzhong medicines. Don't be stingy. Let the refugees be fed and clothed, and treat their injuries."
"Yes." Yang Ren accepted the order and left.
It's going to be a decisive battle anyway, so it doesn't matter if food and medicine are depleted.
Ma Chao walked down the city tower, bowed deeply to the refugees lining up to pass through the city gate, and said loudly: "People, I'm sorry."
Liu Zhang's words attracted the attention of the sad and miserable people.
Liu Zhang waved his hand, and the soldiers escorted Ma Yunlu forward. Liu Zhang felt that he was speechless, so he signaled to Hao Shengwei, who stepped forward and shouted with a loud voice:
"Folks, have you seen it? It was this woman who told the group of horse bandits in Xiliang that you were going to reach the city gate, which led to the Xiliang army's raid and your deaths and injuries."
The people walking by, supporting the old and the young, dragging their wounds, cast hateful and angry looks at Ma Yunlu.
Liu Zhang stepped forward and said in a hoarse voice: "No matter what, our Sichuan Army cannot escape the responsibility for this disaster. I am here to apologize to you on behalf of the more than 60,000 Sichuan Army soldiers at Yangping Pass. The sergeants will give you food, clothing and medicine later.
If anyone neglects you, just tell me and I, Liu Zhang, will definitely punish you severely."
Guan Yinping stood alone on the city ladder, looking at Liu Zhang's back with a dull expression. At this moment, she seemed to understand what a prince in troubled times was and what a true king was.
Liu Zhang's preaching to the people reminded her of the scene when Liu Bei's army took the people from Chang'an and fled to Shicheng. The flood and the fire burned the people's peaceful life, and they helped the old and the young to the bitter cold place.
This is a troubled time, and the benevolent king he fantasizes about does not exist, or has been defeated by a hypocritical and cruel king.
The people staggered through their hatred of Ma Yunlu and their gratitude to Liu Zhang.
Ma Chao's army arrived late, the city gates were closed, and outside the city gate, Xiliang's military torches were shining in the sky. Liu Zhang laughed loudly on the city wall, stepped forward and said to Ma Chao: "Ma'er, are you disappointed? Hahaha,
I have seen the strength of Xiliang's war cavalry today, but that's all... bring me up."
The soldiers brought the bound Pang De up. Liu Zhang laughed and said, "Did you see it? All five thousand of your elite cavalry have been killed by our Sichuan army, and General Pang De was also captured alive by me. Ma'er, what else do you have to say?"
Do you know how powerful our Sichuan Army is?"
"Hahaha." The Sichuan army officers laughed in unison.
Ma Chao stood on his horse, gnashing his teeth in anger, wanting to rush to the top of the city and cut the arrogant Liu Zhang into pieces.
"Ma, what, are you angry again? You are really impatient. If I were you, you would rush up to kill me. Aren't you a general in heaven? You fly up to kill me. If you can rush up, I will kill Pang De
I'll give it back to you. He's just a fool anyway, and our Sichuan Army can kill him instantly with just a few seconds."
"The Sichuan army is invincible."
"The Sichuan army is invincible."
The shouts of the Sichuan soldiers at the city's head cut through the dark night sky and resounded thousands of miles away.
"Liu Zhang..." Ma Chao shouted angrily and was about to mount a charge. Ma Dai hurriedly stopped him. Several Xiliang generals tried to persuade him. Ma Chao reined in his horse angrily and led his cavalry away.
"The Xiliang turtle is gone, the Xiliang turtle is scared away."
The Sichuan soldiers shouted, and Ma Chao tightly held the silver gun in his hand, as if he wanted to crush the gun barrel.
Liu Zhang was satisfied with the morale of the Sichuan Army. After this battle, the Sichuan Army's complete victory over the Xiliang Army eliminated the Sichuan Army's fear of the Xiliang Army, and their morale increased greatly.
The Xiliang army had been attacking the city for many days, but their vigor had been dampened. They suffered another disastrous defeat, and their generals were taken prisoner. As the situation increased, the morale of the Sichuan army was already much higher than that of the Xiliang army.
The moment of decisive battle has arrived.
Yang Ren, Huang Zhong, Gao Pei and other generals led the soldiers down to rest. Liu Zhang led his soldiers to the stairs of Wengcheng. Guan Yinping sat alone in the middle of the wide stone steps with a dull expression. Nothing is more heartbreaking than the complete shattering of his ideals.
The cool moonlight shines down, thin and fragile.
Liu Zhang walked up to Guan Yinping, glanced at her, and sat down next to her.
"Are you disappointed?" Liu Zhang said calmly.
Guan Yinping was silent. After a long time, he said bleakly, "Why are you disappointed? I should exaggerate that a generation of heroes can still incite people's hearts even after so many people have died, and can still laugh at the enemy and destroy the enemy's morale.
, boost the morale of your own army.
Sir, no matter what time, no matter what mood you are in, you never forget what you have to do. You are calm, decisive, and sharp. I am really happy for your ministers and generals. They will enter the prime minister at sunrise.
"
"I know you can't stand it, but this is what a lord should do. I can't forget what I should do because of my emotions. That won't do any good. If I go to mourn the dead people,
Then those people’s deaths have no value.”
"Value?" Guan Yinping smiled sadly: "Are you princes indifferent to humanity? Yes, I told my sister, and my sister informed Ma Chao. But..."
Guan Yinping turned to look at Liu Zhang: "Shu Lord, don't tell me that when you promised me to let the refugees into the city, you didn't expect what happened tonight. You were just testing whether I was from the Xiliang Army. I am the only one."
So naive, I believed your words.
You already knew that I was the one who blocked your way that day, right? Sadly, from the first day I entered Yangping Pass, I was taken advantage of, and I didn’t even know it. I was so stupid that I thought I had concealed it.
Who.
In front of you princes, my little thoughts are really out of the ordinary. The Lord of Shu is very happy to see me playing monkey every day, haha."
