Chapter 93: Determined to Hanzhong

But Xue Bing was riding a horse and looked at Zhang He with a proud look on his face. Suddenly, he saw Zhang He sighing to the sky and shouting: "Lord! I can't share my worries anymore!" Xue Bing felt something was wrong when he heard this. As expected, he immediately pulled out the long sword from his waist and wiped it from his neck.

Xue Bing was shocked, but he also forgot that even if Zhang He didn't commit suicide, what's the use of arresting him? At this moment, he just thought: "You can't let him die like this."

He stretched his left hand and took the longbow at his hand. The longbow was hung behind the saddle. He could take it off as long as he stretched back.

The right hand also poked out backwards, picked out a feather arrow, followed by both hands, and fired the arrow. A series of movements were completed in the blink of an eye. After Xue Bing finished these movements, he didn't even have time to aim, but just shot an arrow based on his feelings.

After the arrow flew out of his hand, Xue Bing saved it. "It's over! This arrow won't shoot him to death directly, right?"

The soldiers around him did not expect that Zhang He would suddenly pull out his sword and commit suicide. Therefore, even the Cao soldiers beside Zhang He were stunned and forgot to come forward to stop Zhang He. Seeing that Zhang He was about to die under the sword, he suddenly heard a metal clash, and then he saw a long sword flying high and spinning in the sky with a feather arrow several times before landing on the ground with a clang.

Zhang He's hands were trembling, and blood was flowing out of the tiger's mouth, and a shallow scratch on his neck revealed a hint of bright red. He looked up and saw Xue Bing holding a long bow in his hand, sitting majestic on the horse.

He opened his mouth and said softly: "Why? Why?"

At this time, Zhang He and his personal soldiers finally reacted.

The things just now were done in the blink of an eye, until Xue Bing hit Zhang He's long sword in his hand, shocked the sword away and saved Zhang Heyi's life. Only then did these people realize that their chief general was going to commit suicide. The soldiers hurriedly lie beside Zhang He.

He advised: "The general has the talent of a king and a master, but now he has been defeated on the battlefield for a while. How can he find a shortcoming? Moreover, the general's defeat is actually because there is no food to eat, or even no soldiers available, so it has nothing to do with the general's ability.

Moreover, on the battlefield, victory or defeat is common in military affairs, and the general is not more than to blame himself!" After crying and persuading, Zhang He finally told him to give up the idea of ​​suicide.

However, even if he wanted to commit suicide, Xue Bing refused. Seeing that Zhang He was hesitant, he immediately ordered: "Let him tie him up and take good care of him. Don't let him bear his life!" No, and said: "Get some food for him first and ask him to eat some first.

To avoid starvation to death.”

Then he looked around and ordered: "Let these surrendered soldiers come with you, withdraw your troops, and return to the camp!" After saying that, he suddenly remembered something.

He asked to the left and right, "Have you ever seen Hao Zhao?" The left and right answered, "No!" Xue Bing sighed when he heard this, "I told him to run away!" But when he turned around, he happened to see Zhang He who looked depressed, and then said happily, "Catch Zhang He."

It is much stronger than capturing Hao Zhao." Thinking of this, Xue Bing smiled and exuded a sense of pride. He led his troops and horses to return leisurely...

In Baocheng, Liu Bei held a banquet to entertain his generals. Among them, Zhang Lu, Zhang Wei, Yan Pu and other newly surrendered people were all present.

Others, such as Chen Dao, Li Yan and others who came with the army from Sichuan were all on the list. Liu Bei sat in the upper head, and there were naturally two military commanders, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

Everyone was having fun and having fun. It was impossible to see that half a year ago, these people led their troops to catch each other and fought to the death. Thanks to Liu Bei's adjustments, and he paid enough attention to anyone who joined him.

These civil officials and military generals were determined to follow Liu Bei and were willing to use their own strength to serve the wise.

And Liu Bei went from having nothing to wandering around, to occupying Jingzhou, seizing Yizhou, and now, although Hanzhong has not been fully settled, it is only a matter of time.

At this time, I sat on my head with a smile on my face, and I was so happy that I seemed to be ten years younger. I kept talking to everyone, never neglecting anyone.

While eating and drinking, a soldier suddenly came to report: "Wei Yan, the commander of Yangping Pass, Zhang Fei of Jigu, and Zhao Yun west of Dingjun Mountain, all reported military information. Everyone was stunned when they heard this and closed their mouths all at once.

You should know that these three places are the most popular places in Hanzhong at present. Yangping Pass faces the Cao Wei army, and the same is true for Jigu. There are troops led by Zhang He to the west of Dingjun Mountain. Now all three places have military information reports. Could it be that something happened again?

When Liu Bei saw everyone silently at the first time, he knew that they were all thinking about the three situations in his heart, so he said to the soldier: "Please report the three military news and listen to everyone!"

Zhuge Liang frowned when he heard this. With his nature, he would never publicize it when he didn't know what was being punished inside. If one of these three places was to deal with danger, it would be very likely that the civil servants and military generals under Liu Bei's account would be unstable. If one of them was not handled well, there might be internal discord.

However, Liu Bei had already spoken, and he could only hope that all three places would come from in his heart, and that all good news would be good news! If all good news would be good news, it would make everyone here more confident in Liu Bei and work harder in the future.

Everyone in the hall turned their eyes to the soldier, with their ears tilted, waiting for him to read out the military newspaper. Poor soldier, never had such an experience, only to see the officials of all sizes here staring at him.

The poor soldier held three military newspapers in his hand and cried.

Liu Bei looked at the soldier, and saw that he looked embarrassed, his hands trembled, holding the three military newspapers and didn't know what to do. He was surprised. After thinking about it slightly, he understood.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw the soldier kneeling on the ground with a look of fear and said, "Subordinate, I don't recognize words..." Liu Bei listened, comforted him, and said to Zhang Lu: "I'll bother Gong Qi to pay the three military returns to everyone."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lu immediately stood up and saluted Liu Bei, and then received three military newspapers from the soldier.

After the soldier trembled and handed the three military newspapers to Zhang Lu, he actually breathed a sigh of relief, as if these three military newspapers were so hot.

As a result, the military newspaper opened it and then read it loudly, making everyone in the hall listen clearly.

The first one was written by Wei Yan, the governor of Yangping Pass. There was not much talk inside. It was said that after Cao Hong was defeated, he led his troops to attack, but the attack was not tight, so he only camped outside the pass. Wei Yan took the opportunity to attack Dazhai, and then set fire to food, grass and supplies, and retreated.

When everyone heard this, they all smiled and said, "This road is settled!" They all turned to look at Liu Bei, but they saw that Liu Bei was still smiling, as if they had expected it.

At this time, Zhang Lu had already taken out the second portion, but Zhang Fei sent it all the way to Jigu, and nothing else was said. He only said that Cao's general Xu Huang led his army out of Jigu, and then attacked Zhao Yun behind him to save Zhang He.

Zhang Fei was guarding Jigu, and he killed Xu Huang and killed more than 10,000 people.

During this period, Wang Ping led all the light troops and even walked around Xu Huang's army. After Xu Huang was defeated by Zhang Fei, Wang Ping killed another way of his origin and directly attacked Xu Huang out of Hanzhong.

In addition to writing a detailed description of how to fight back Xu Huang, Zhang Fei also made a special contribution to Wang Ping, saying that this battle was so easy and determined, which was all Wang Ping's contribution.

When everyone in the hall heard this report, they were even more happy. Those who had been worried about not being able to resist Cao Cao's army, but now they were relieved and said to Liu Bei: "The enemy troops from these two routes have retreated, and Hanzhong is settled!"

Liu Bei was also very happy and said to everyone: "If you want to retreat to the enemy, you will rely on all the efforts of the Dukes!" Then he said to Zhang Lu: "You can read the last one!" Zhang Lu then took out the last military newspaper and read it loudly.

In fact, among these three military newspapers, only this one was the least noticeable. Although Zhang He had a large army of tens of thousands, he stationed west of Dingjun Mountain.

However, the original leader Xiahou Yuan died in battle. After Zhang He took over the position of head coach, he suffered a series of defeats. He was short of food and grass, so even if he didn't fight, he would probably not be able to survive this winter.

But now it’s just over the winter months that a war report has arrived. Could it be that Zhang and He’s army has been defeated?

At this time, Zhang Lu thought: "Yun Zi received the order of the lord and the generals, and led his troops to fight against Zhang and He, but he had no achievements. He relied on Zi Han and Meng Qi and other generals to help him.

He has lived up to the lord's entrustedness and has now defeated the enemy. Nearly 10,000 surrendered soldiers have been bound by the enemy general Zhang He and Hao Zhao escaped!" The latter describes in detail what method was used to defeat Zhang He, and who did this plan, and what were the specific details of the implementation at that time, Xiang wrote it in detail.

Not to mention Liu Bei's hearing, even when everyone in the hall heard Xue Bing's call for a strange thing, the soldiers couldn't help laughing when they refused to listen to the schedule of food, and laughed softly. As soon as this method was heard, Zhang He's army immediately dispersed. After countless soldiers escaped from the camp and defected to their own side, they all opened their mouths wide and could no longer laugh.

Tens of thousands of troops were tortured by Xue Bing with these wine and meat clothes, and then when he led his troops into Zhanghe's village, no one resisted. The enemy general Zhang He failed to commit suicide and was captured by Xue Bing.

The army is gathering, escorting the thousands of surrendered soldiers to lead the enemy general Zhang Heyi and look back together.

When Liu Bei heard of Xue Bing's plan, he felt funny. When he heard this, he used this plan to torture Zhang He's army, and then defeated Zhang He almost without bloodshed, he sighed: "I don't expect Zihan to come up with such a plan!" Then he remembered that when Xue Bing sent Zhang Yi to ask for food and clothing, Zhuge Liang immediately agreed, and everything he wanted was ready immediately. He thought that Zhuge Liang had guessed this plan at that time, so he said to Zhuge Liang: "Since the military advisor knew it, why didn't he say he would listen to me?"

Zhuge Liang said: "I only thought that Zhang He's army could not fight, but I didn't expect that it would have such an effect." He paused,

He said again: "And I didn't expect that Zi Han actually captured Zhang He! The lord, capturing Zhang He is enough to destroy Cao Cao's 100,000 troops."

Liu Bei smiled and said, "What the military advisor said is very good."

Zhuge Liang said again: "I don't know how to deal with Zhang He?"
