It can be said that Wu Yi tried his best to persuade Zhang Lu to surrender. He hit Zhang Lu's vital points every time, hoping to persuade Zhang Lu to give up the idea of suicide.
The effect was also very obvious. Zhang Lu's eyes became more confused and there was a hint of self-blame.
"So what if I can't help but capture you? Do you think Liu Zhang will let our Zhang family go?"
Wu Yi was speechless for a moment. He could neither agree nor not agree. How could he know what Liu Zhang would think?
Zhang Lu was not a fool. If Wu Yi agreed straight away, Zhang Lu would definitely think that Wu Yi was deceiving him. But if Zhang Lu doesn't agree, why should Zhang Lu wait for arrest? Direct suicide is his best choice.
"Zhang Lu, I can't answer your question, but I can intercede with Lord Zhou Mu. If you can truly repent, I believe that Lord Zhou Mu will forgive your people due to his benevolent and righteous character."
"But you are bound to die. Based on the crimes you have committed, I am afraid that the only thing waiting for you is execution by Lingchi!"
From the outside, Wu Yi must be crazy!
How cruel is Lingchi's execution? How could Zhang Lu be willing to endure this pain for the sake of his people's chance of survival?
But the result was just the opposite. Zhang Lu obviously showed a trace of hesitation.
Zhang Lu has brought the Zhang family into the abyss, and the Celestial Master Dao is about to be destroyed, but he has not forgotten his identity as a Celestial Master of the Celestial Master Dao!
The Zhang clan members are all members of Tianshi Dao. As long as the Zhang family is immortal, the Tao of Heavenly Masters can be passed on!
"Hey! I, Zhang Lu, have already failed my ancestors, my grandfather, and my father. How can I not try my best to save the lives of my people!"
Clang. . .
Zhang Lu finally made up his mind and threw the sword to the ground. At the same time, he looked at Wu Yi, who had always been against him.
"Wu Yi, you won. But it wasn't you who convinced me, it was my heart that convinced myself."
Wu Yi smiled and nodded. He didn't care about the process, and he didn't want to argue with Zhang Lu about these meaningless things.
"No matter how it ends, at this moment, you do have a responsibility."
Wu Yi thought about it and finally gave Zhang Lu his approval. Maybe a few words can give Zhang Lu some psychological comfort and allow him to survive.
"Take it away..."
Wu Yi waved his hand and uttered a few words. The soldiers under his command swarmed forward, pulled Zhang Lu off the horse, and escorted Zhang Wei down together with Zhang Wei, who was on the ground with no idea of his life or death.
"Pegasus immediately informed the military advisor that Luocheng has been captured. Zhang Lu, Zhang Wei, and more than a hundred members of the Zhang family have all been captured, and no one has escaped the net!"
From now on, the entire county of Guanghan was completely owned by Liu Zhang, and there was no longer any opposition.
A month later, Liu Zhang left Dian Wei, Zhang Ren, and Zheng Du to guard Langzhong, while he returned to Mianzhu with Huang Quan.
Liu Zhang personally led two battalions of soldiers and horses to attack Langzhong, but he mistakenly believed Huang Yin's words and fell into the trap of false surrender.
Fortunately, Huang Quan gave timely warning, Zheng Du planned well, and Liu Zhang and his soldiers fought bravely and finally defeated Huang Yin, and Langzhong was included in Liu Zhang's territory.
But the Battle of Langzhong suffered heavy losses. Pan Feng was seriously injured in order to protect Liu Zhang, and all three thousand troops under his command were lost!
The Wuwei battalion rushed to attack Langzhong City regardless of losses, causing nearly 4,000 casualties.
After this battle, Liu Zhang's army in Langzhong no longer had the strength to go south. Liu Zhang could only leave the generals and military advisors to guard the city, and returned to Mianzhu with Huang Quan.
The front line of Micang Road was much smoother. Xun You led Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and all the 20,000 troops from Wubu Camp and Hanxing Camp to attack Bazhong City.
The prefect of Bazhong was under Huang Yin's command, and he also used the trick of pretending to surrender.
It's a pity that this kind of strategy could not be hidden from Xun You's eyes. Not only did Xun You fail to fall into the trap, but he used it to directly attack Bazhong City.
Xun You's strategy was to advance in two directions. He attacked Danqu from Bazhong, and Liu Zhang attacked Anhan from Langzhong. Then the two joined forces at the foot of Hechuan City.
After occupying Hechuan, Liu Zhang and Xunyou can go all the way south and directly attack Jiangzhou City!
As long as Jiangzhou, the transportation hub of Bajun, is captured, only Badong area, which is close to Jingzhou, will be left in Bajun. It is only a matter of time before the entire Ba County is taken over!
Although the strategy was good, things did not develop as Xun You expected!
Liu Zhang lost his troops and generals in Langzhong, and his troops could barely protect themselves, completely losing their ability to move south.
Although Xun You won a great victory in Bazhong, he had to stick to Bazhong. Looking forward to seeking good opportunities in the future to go south again.
When Liu Zhang arrived at Mianzhu, he also learned about the great prowess of his two military strategists.
Jia Xu's ingenious design not only led Zhang Lu out of Luocheng, but also captured him alive and defeated more than 60,000 of his men! He even gathered the power of the aristocratic families who opposed Liu Zhang in the counties of Guanghan County!
After this battle, the entire Guanghan County was completely wiped out, and there will only be one voice in the future, and that is Liu Zhang!
"Wen He, compared to you and Gongda, I'm really not that bad at all..."
Looking at Jia Xu who was sent to him, Liu Zhang felt a little guilty!
How could Jia Xu and Xun You be able to lead an army that was invincible and invincible?
Why do you have to lose troops and generals when you lead a large army?
Not only did Pan Feng almost break, but Liu Zhang himself almost died in Langzhong!
"My lord, my requirements for myself are too high. How can I be the master of others? My lord is in charge of the overall situation and cannot be so negative just because of a single defeat."
In Jia Xu's opinion, Liu Zhang's campaign was a success.
Liu Zhang only brought two battalions of soldiers and horses, with 13,000 people, far less than Jia Xu! Not even as good as Xun You’s 20,000 people!
Liu Zhang defeated Langzhong, which was garrisoned by 20,000 people, with more than 6,000 casualties, and finally defeated Huang Yin. It was definitely a great victory!
"Hey, Wen He, please stop comforting me! People in the world say that I, Liu Zhang, am invincible. It seems that I have also been affected by these false reputations..."
In fact, many ideas will be subconsciously influenced!
The world thinks highly of Liu Zhang, such as the leader of the Han Dynasty, the tiger general of the world, the undefeated myth, the ever-victorious general, etc. Over time, Liu Zhang will really regard himself as such a title, which is the fundamental reason for his carelessness this time.
The outcome of the Battle of Langzhong was good. No matter what the process was, winning with less and capturing more cities was the final result.
But Liu Zhang couldn't think like that, and he definitely couldn't hold himself to such a low standard.
Liu Zhang knew very well that the Huang Yin he faced this time was an unknown person who did not even leave his name in history! Like Xun You, he could have understood Huang Yin's plot in advance, and then captured Langzhong and captured Huang Yin at the minimum cost.
But the result was that Langzhong was obtained almost in a very stupid way, but Zheng Du saved it!
If they were facing Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, and Liu Zhang this time, would they still be so lucky?
"My lord is so humble and alert, why worry about failing to accomplish great things!"
Why Jia Xu has such a high opinion of Liu Zhang is mainly because Liu Zhang can always alert himself and always have extremely high requirements for himself!
Liu Zhang's performance this time is extremely successful in everyone's opinion, and can even be described as a great victory.
How can anyone fight without dying?
But Liu Zhang didn't think so. His thought was always that if I could detect it in advance, I would be able to reduce casualties. Can this not make Jia Xu admire him?
"Wen He, I need you to remind me more in the future to help me make fewer mistakes! After all, our background is not very strong!"
