"No, no, you misunderstood! Zhang Lu fought side by side with me, a brother who has gone through life and death!"
"So...you have to pay more!"
With a contemptuous smile on his face, Sima Yi nodded like an old fox.
"Ten thousand gold, you just nod if you are willing to open the door, and forget it if you don't want to! I, Sima Yi, believe that... there are still many people who are willing to take this ten thousand gold."
Yang Song rubbed his chin, looked at Sima Yi's decisive attitude, and immediately nodded in response.
"Ten thousand is fine! But the deposit..."
"Here is two thousand, and the rest will be given after the city is broken. Don't worry, my lord still has the status of my Sima family, so I won't default on your promised reward. In addition...after the matter is completed, my lord can give you the title of Hanzhong." Prefect."
Sima Yi swung the cloth bag behind his back and smashed it heavily on the ground, only to hear the sound of clanging metals coming from inside.
Yang Song's eyes lit up, and he rushed forward and opened the bag, revealing the orange-yellow gold.
"Gold! It's all gold! Don't worry, after taking your money, I will take this vote! In the future...we will still be colleagues!"
"Yang Song greets the lord, hello lord, goodbye lord!"
Yang Song cupped his hands at Liu Bei, and ran back carrying the bag.
He, who was strenuous to walk, was able to walk like flying with two hundred catties of gold on his body!
I have to say that the banknote ability is awesome!
Seeing Yang Song go away, Liu Bei felt a pain in his heart. This is two thousand gold, and he will have to give eight thousand later!
Even though he owns Yizhou now, this ten thousand is enough to make him bleed.
"Zhongda, this guy... can you trust him?
"My lord, don't worry, just attack the city tomorrow!"
Sima Yi said confidently.
The two took a look at Hanzhong, then turned and headed towards Yangping Pass, preparing to recharge their spirits for tomorrow's battle.
On the other side, more than a hundred miles away from Hanzhong, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Zhang He, Pang Tong, Lu Xun, and five people also led an army of [-] to support Hanzhong.
……
Early the next morning, a big battle broke out outside Hanzhong City!
Hanzhong is located in a basin, so as long as you break through the steep mountain roads, you can directly besiege the city.
No, Hanzhong was surrounded by troops led by Liu Bei.
And on each side, generals are arranged.
Ximen Yanliang was harassing, while Zhang Ren was blocking the retreat at the north gate, while he himself and Sima Yi, who was in armor and armed with a gun, feinted to attack the south gate to put pressure on Zhang Lu.
As for the east gate... his second younger brother, who is invincible under heaven, is secretly waiting for Yang Song to find a chance to open the city gate.
"Zhang Lu! Let's vote. With the [-] to [-] troops in your city, it's impossible for me to be my opponent!"
"If I am determined to attack hard, I guarantee that I can take your Hanzhong today. If you surrender now... I can also give you a high-ranking official and a generous salary, so that you can continue to promote your Five Dou Rice God Sect. Do you think about it?"
Liu Bei opened his voice and shouted.
If it is possible... Zhang Lu is willing to surrender, he can save the final payment of 8000 gold!
But Zhang Lu didn't give any face. He was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a sword made of money, pointing at Liu Bei angrily.
"Although I, Zhang Lu, am a petty vassal, I am also a man of integrity! I voted for King Wei in the past, so I am King Wei's man!"
"If you want me to sacrifice my Hanzhong, unless I die!"
"You think you're sure to win? I have more than 2 soldiers in Hanzhong. Where are the members of the Wudou Mishen Cult? Today, a great enemy is coming, and I ask the disciples to take up arms and rise up to resist!"
Zhang Lu let out a loud roar, and the robe on his body automatically moved without wind.
The few Dao Talismans in front of them gradually floated up, and spontaneously ignited into a ball of fire in the sky.
Hearing the roar and then seeing the fireball signal, a monstrous roar erupted in Hanzhong City.
"Master! We are willing to defend Hanzhong to the death!"
As the roar fell, many people in the city rushed towards the city wall, some with axes, some with kitchen knives, and some with hoes and shovels.
Seeing this, Zhang Lu was very moved!
In Hanzhong, Zhang Lu's Five Dou Rice Religion implemented the policy of practicing medicine to save people, free clinics and disaster relief everywhere, and promoted benevolent government.
Therefore, it is the will of the people, and all the people are soldiers with one order!
This is also one of the reasons why Liu Zhang, a state shepherd who can beat him as a small county guard, has lost consecutive defeats. Where there is popular support, there is territory!
The addition of Wudoumi believers greatly boosted the morale of the Hanzhong defenders.
"My lord, according to the messenger, King Wei's reinforcements are coming soon! Let's hold on for a while!"
Yan Pu, who was calm and calm, cupped his hands and reported to Zhang Lu.
Zhang Lu knew it well, nodded secretly, and looked at the enemies under the city vigilantly.
"Go and bring your family, just in case! And my two daughters, take them with you!"
Yan Pu took the order to retreat and set about arranging for his family members.
Zhang Lu has always been calm, and Yan Pu is used to it, no matter whether he wins or not, he will arrange the way out first.
Regarding the changes in the city, Liu Bei was neither surprised nor angry, because he had the confidence.
"This Lu...is quite capable! Zhongda, when we take down Hanzhong...it may take a long time before we can completely rule it!"
Sima Yi smiled indifferently: "In troubled times, heavy codes should be used, iron and blood suppression is the most effective!"
"My lord, should we attack? If we don't create a little confusion, Yang Song won't have a chance to do anything."
Liu Bei nodded, raised the two long swords in his hands, and let out a loud shout.
"Brothers! Siege!"
With an order, tens of thousands of troops began to build ladders with their shields on their backs.
Zhang Lu's expression on the top of the city tower tightened. He could see that Liu Bei was determined to break the city this time. According to the battle report, all four walls of the city had been besieged.
The thieves have 2 to [-] soldiers, and his mere [-] people are not opponents at all.
Not to mention that in the previous battles, the supplies for defending the city were almost used up, and it was even more difficult to defend the city!
Now he can only hope that Cao Ying's reinforcements will come soon.
Zhang Lu's eyes turned hard, and he also roared angrily: "Hit me without any effort! Our reinforcements are on the way!"
The two sides exchanged fire, and blood stained the city walls.
Severed limbs are everywhere.
Just when Zhang Lu was in a hard fight, a light cavalry team of [-] people rushed out from the direction of Jigu.
There is a big Cao character banner on the team.
The leader was a black-faced man with round eyes, a beard, and a snake spear in his hand!
This is Zhang Fei. After a hot summer campaign, he is darker and purer than before. Only the whites of his eyes and teeth can see a little white.
Even the white powder that women make up...can't save him, so he hasn't used the skin of a white-faced scholar for a long time.
But the black whirlwind skin that has been used.
Next to Zhang Fei was a young man with a white horse and a silver gun. The two of them were the first to explode, and they looked extremely powerful!
"Kill! Old man Zhang Lu, reinforcements from Cao Ying are here, you don't need to panic!"
Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Zhang Lu was overjoyed, and the money sword in his hand swung more powerfully.
Zhang Fei rode Wu Zhi, looked in the right direction and charged straight at Liu Bei in the distance with his spear straightened.
While running, he shouted to Zhao Yun next to him: "Zilong! Follow my face later!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yun turned his head and looked at Zhang Fei's face that was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Suddenly the corner of his mouth twitched, and he fell into a state of autism.
"Yide...how about...you should act according to my face?"
Chapter 996 Are you reinforcements or bandits?
Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun rushed up with their guns.
Zhang Fei faced Liu Bei directly, while Zhao Yun led the light cavalry to charge around.
With their elite team joining, Zhang Lu's pressure dropped dramatically!
clang clang...
Zhang Fei sprinted and killed a bloody path, and without a word, he stabbed Liu Bei with a few spears.
Liu Bei and Sima Yi looked at each other, raised their weapons solemnly and fought a few moves with him.
After Zhang Fei forced the two of them back, he swung his spear and hacked to death the soldiers around him who were trying to surround and kill him.
Immediately cleared an open space and came out, the strength like mowing grass made no one in the Shu army dare to approach again.
Holding two swords in his hands, Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei with a sigh, while his hands were hanging on his sides trembling slightly.
Zhang Fei's angry blow, even though he and Sima Yi joined forces, it was difficult to resist.
"Third brother, I didn't expect...we will meet again in this way! I don't know...how are you doing in Cao Ying?"
As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, Zhang Fei interrupted him with a loud drink.
"Don't call me third brother! After the battle of Chibi, we have cut off our friendship!"
Liu Bei shook his head, not angry, but looked at the other party mockingly.
"Hehe, in the old days, I, Liu Bei, was poor and had no money, soldiers, or power. That's why you secretly voted for Cao Bandit."
"But...30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi. Now I am a prince, and I am sitting in a stable and rich Yizhou. I don't know...do you regret what you did in the past today?"
The corners of Liu Bei's mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled vigorously.
Hearing this, Zhang Fei's pitch-black face became even darker, and even shone a little, as if his leather shoes had been polished with oil.
"Huh! My old Zhang married a girl from a good family in Caoying, has the richest uncle, and has a bunch of good brothers who care about me. I can't say how wonderful I am!"
"Not only is the food good there, but the workload is also less. It is a rare and good place. Why do I regret it? I have to thank you for abandoning me at the beginning! Otherwise, how could I have such a good opportunity to enter Cao Ying ?”
Speaking of Cao Ying's life, Zhang Fei's face showed a bit of warmth.
This period of time can be said to be the happiest time he has lived, and it is much better than following Liu Bei before.
Hearing this, Liu Bei suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Stop pretending! Do you know the person next to me? The new star of Cao Ying, Sima Zhongda!"
"He has already told me that your Cao Ying is an unscrupulous group, and each person has to work ten jobs!"
"And there is no bonus, no vacation, it's too hard! You can't hide it from me, and if others don't know you, don't I know you?"
"In the past, you never lied, but now you have changed! When you tell a lie, your expression doesn't change. You are awesome, Zhang Yide!"
The more Liu Bei said, the arrogance on his face became more and more obvious.
Compared with Cao Yingyi... Liu's holding company is too strong.
Hearing this, Zhang Fei curled his lips, and thought to himself: Doing ten jobs is the salary of a civil servant. Does it have something to do with our group of water-paddling generals?
Sima Yi next to him looked at Zhang Fei's dark and reflective face, then at Liu Bei, and couldn't help asking weakly.
"My lord, Hei is like this... How can you tell that he hasn't changed his face?"
Liu Bei immediately turned his head and glared at him angrily: "I saw it with my eyes! Why do you have any objections? Then, can you see if he has changed color?"
Sima Yi was taken aback, and laughed dryly a few times: "No...it really hasn't changed, everything is as usual! My lord is really wise!"
Liu Bei rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Turning his head to look at Zhang Fei again, but there was no sarcasm on his face, but a bit of regret.
"Being human, you really can't be too realistic and snobbish. If you didn't leave me back then, then you would be the one standing by my side and sharing this land with me! It's a pity... Sigh!"
"However, I, Liu Bei, are generous. In view of the friendship between brothers back then, if you are willing to come back to me and help me, then I will let the past go, how?"
