Luocheng.
Zhang Ren soon felt great pressure.
Yizhou people have always been treated unfairly. Both the enterprising Dongzhou faction and the Yizhou faction who want to regain power are dissatisfied with Liu Zhang's rule.
evidence?
Liu Mang's 100,000 people in the city are proof!
Zhang Ren raised his eyes and saw that among them there were many Dongzhou sects such as Fazheng and Mengda, and there were also many people related to Liu Zhang by marriage such as Wu Yi and Wu Ban.
As for the veteran Yan Yan, Zhang Ren reluctantly closed his eyes in pain. It turned out that this person surrendered.
No wonder, in the west of Bajun, many checkpoints have chosen to wait and see the wind!
As expected, Liu Bei's men were full of talents, and they only recruited Yan Yan to surrender, causing Liu Zhang's army to collapse without attacking.
Liu Mang rode out and said with a smile: "Uncle, you must be thinking why General Yan surrendered, right?"
Zhang Ren stood on top of the city tower and sneered: "Liu Changqing, do you think you can conquer Luocheng that I am guarding with a hundred thousand people?"
"Old thief Yan Yan, I, Zhang Ren, are sworn in with him! Anyone who betrays the Lord and seeks glory will be punished by everyone!"
Yan Yan looked ashamed. The only person he recognized as a general in Shu was Zhang Ren.
"Uncle, I don't like hearing what you say!"
"What does it mean to beg for glory behind your back? What has your master, Liu Zhang, given to General Yan over the years?"
"A sixty-year-old man with no reputation, but he looks very much like someone!"
"Ahem! Old General Huang, don't look at me, I'm definitely not talking about you!"
Huang Zhong looked sad, then looked at Yan Yan with a feeling of sympathy.
"Look at this old soldier, who is over sixty years old and can draw a three-stone bow!"
"He beat me as well as my second uncle!"
"Why has such a person never been famous before?"
"It's because I didn't know the person well and I voted for the wrong lord."
Huang Zhong looked at Liu Mang again and made up his mind to stay away from the young master in the future!
"Zhang Ren, you are known as a famous general in Shu, don't you know that the people's will is not Liu Zhang's?"
"If Liu Zhang were a British leader, how could these people take refuge in my father?"
Zhang Ren was speechless, but there were too many people in Yizhou who surrendered to Liu Bei.
From the brothers Wu Yi and Wu Ban to the ordinary soldiers.
The people of Yizhou hoped that Liu Bei could change their embarrassing situation.
The people of Dongzhou hope that Liu Bei will forge ahead and return to his hometown.
What is the aspiration of the people?
Liu Bei is now standing at the foot of Luocheng, surrounded by a hundred thousand people. This is what the people want.
"Uncle, what do you think this is? The stone cart used in the Battle of Guandu."
"What a coincidence, isn't it? Your nephew's Ma Jun happened to be improved!"
"Now twenty stone wheels are hitting Luocheng in turns. What if they accidentally injure the people and the flowers and plants in the city?"
Liu Mang's smile remained unchanged, but Zhang Ren heard the threat.
Once the people in the city are injured, a mutiny may occur.
The so-called unity of the military and the people can never be fought with lives until the interests of the people are not harmed.
"The thing you are looking at is called Zhuge Liannu! It is a love token given by my master Huang Yueying to my mentor Zhuge Liang!"
"What a coincidence, isn't it? Ma Jun has been improved again!"
"I can shoot fifty arrows at a time! My nephew, I have an army of 100,000 men, and each man has one..."
"My nephew, I rely on these three things to work outside! More soldiers, more money, and loyalty!"
Zhang Ren couldn't help but break out in cold sweat after hearing this. He didn't expect that Liu Bei's army already had such a weapon for attacking the city!
Especially that Zhuge Liannu!
There are many mountainous roads in the middle of Sichuan. If you hide in the dense forest and all the crossbows are fired, no one will be able to escape death!
"Liu Changqing, what do you want?"
"Uncle, I'm just waiting for a word from you!"
Liu Mang smiled and said: "Instead of hurting the people, why don't you and I fight against each other!"
"My nephew dares to challenge my uncle! If I win, you will sacrifice Luocheng!"
"If my uncle wins, I will lead the army back to Jingzhou!"
Zhang Ren looked at Liu Mang, who was now only seventeen years old and a proper young general.
On the other hand, Zhang Ren was in his prime, with his strength and skills at their peak.
"Liu Xuande, do you agree with what he said?"
Liu Bei rode out and said bluntly: "Zhang Ren, if my son is defeated, I will leave with my own troops and horses!"
"It's up to you, can you fulfill your promise?"
Zhang Ren heard this and laughed loudly: "Liu Xuande, do you think I, Zhang Ren, am a villain who breaks my word?"
"Liu Mang, come and fight!"
The soldiers in Luocheng beat drums to support the battle, and Zhang Ren came out with his gun.
"Sir, Zhang Ren's marksmanship is as good as a god. His Hundred Birds Shooting Phoenix Spear is an invincible weapon in Sichuan."
Yan Yan whispered: "Young master, you must be careful!"
Guan Yu caressed his beautiful beard and said with a smile: "Mang'er, fight as you like! If you lose, your second uncle will chop him with one knife!"
Zhang Fei's eyes widened in anger and he cursed: "Zhang Ren is a thief, if you dare to hurt a hair on my eldest nephew's body, I, Old Zhang, will poke 360 holes in your body!"
Ma Chao was also eager to try and asked: "Master, do you want me to fight for you?"
Liu Mang waved his hand. He had studied martial arts with Zhao Yun for many years. Except for the battle at Changbanpo, he had never fought with life or death.
Today, Zhang Ren is a good opponent.
"Liu Mang! Can you come to Jinyan Bridge and fight with me?"
"Why don't you dare? Master, just lead the way."
Liu Beice immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Mang'er, are you sure?"
Liu Mango shook his head, "Dad, you are asking this question knowingly! Zhang Ren's marksmanship is as good as a god, how can I be 100% sure?"
Liu Bei loved his son very much and said bluntly: "I will fight for you in my father's place soon!"
"Back then, I was the one who defeated Lu Bu with your second uncle and third uncle!"
Liu Mang had a look of disgust on his face and waved his hand, "Dad, a good man doesn't mention how brave he was!"
"I am just a tethered dog. If I follow my second uncle and my third uncle, I can beat Lu Bu!"
"I just said I'm not 100% sure, but I'm 99% sure!"
Liu Bei was trembling with anger, pointed angrily at Liu Mang, and yelled: "You traitor!"
The generals enjoyed it, and the young master was so relaxed, which made them feel relieved.
I am afraid that if I am too nervous when facing an enemy in battle, I will not be able to show my strength.
There is murderous intent on the Jinyan Bridge.
Zhang Ren and Liu Mang were standing at the bridgehead respectively. As they agreed, they rode towards each other on horseback.
Lu is so fast!
The two of them did not use guns, but bent their bows and set arrows at the same time!
The same sects are fighting against each other, but the competition is about archery skills!
Whoosh!
Zhang Ren struck with an arrow, pointing directly at the center of Liu Mang's eyebrows.
"Well done!"
"Liu Changqing, my master Tong Yuan is good at marksmanship, but this archery skill came from my own practice, Zhang Ren!"
Liu Mang didn't say anything, but with quick eyes and quick hands, he caught the arrow shot by Zhang Ren.
"Uncle, it's disrespectful to come back and not return, so I'll return it to you!"
Whoosh!
Liu Mang bent his bow and set an arrow, and went straight to Zhang Ren.
"Old General Huang, which one is better between Mang'er and Zhang Ren's archery skills?"
Liu Bei was concerned about his son and quickly asked Huang Zhong.
"Don't worry, my lord, this arrow is just a test."
"Zhang Ren and Young Master, neither of them tried their best."
"If you want to decide the winner, it depends on the marksmanship of the two."
Huang Zhong stroked his beard and chuckled: "If I fight against Zhang Ren, I will definitely kill him within three arrows!"
