LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 398
Against Cao Cao, there was no hope.
Against Liu Bei, there is also no hope.
Although the Sword Pavilion has 20,000 soldiers, and the grain and grass can be supported for half a year, it is only a lonely pass after all.
The key to defending the Sword Pavilion is to have a large rear as a backing support.
Now Chengdu is lost, and the rear is lost.
is such a lonely pass, how can it withstand the attack of the two bigwigs?
Zhang Ren is confident, but he is not confident that he can change his life against the sky and complete a shocking reversal with such a lonely pass!
Moreover, now the soldiers in the city are full of soldiers, because of the fall of Chengdu and the death of Liu Zhang, the people are already panicking.
I'm afraid that if we don't wait for the Han and Wei soldiers to attack, this city full of soldiers, the people's hearts will collapse, and they will be in chaos without a fight.
At this point, it's really time to make a life-and-death decision.
That's when it happened.
The soldiers arrived in a hurry, and said that Mao Jue, the envoy of Wei, had arrived outside the customs and wanted to enter the customs to ask for a meeting.
033 "Cao Cao's messenger?"
Zhang Ren was slightly shocked, as if he had guessed something.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Ren still waved his hand and ordered Mao Yu to put it in.
A quarter of an hour later.
Mao Jue entered the city, and Zhang Ren received the Wei envoy in the Guantang as a guest.
Mao Jue did not beat around the bush, directly expressed Cao Cao's intention to appease, and took out Cao Cao's handwritten edict.
General Zhennan, Marquis of Mianzhu, concurrently led the Taishou of Shu County, and had 3,000 households.
This is the surrender condition that Cao Cao promised Zhang Ren.
I have to say that Cao Cao's conditions are very generous.
General Zhennan, the rank is only below the four generals, looking at the Wei State, it is also a high-ranking official.
The food of 3,000 households is more than the food of all the ministers of Wei, and it is on the same level as Xiahou Yuan, the first general of the clan.
The Marquis of Mianzhu, the title is the Marquis of the county.
With such a title, there are few people in the Wei clan.
Chengdu is located in Shu County, and the Taishou of Shu County is now in Jing Zhaoyin, and it is extremely powerful, almost controlling the military and political power of Yizhou.
This generous condition could not make Zhang Ren tempted.
It's just that Zhang Ren pretended to be calm on the surface, and did not reply to Mao Jue on the spot, and after a few polite words, he invited Mao Jue to the hall to rest.
"General Zhang, Emperor Wei's conditions for submission are so favorable, what else does the general have to hesitate about, of course he agreed immediately. "
Lei Tong couldn't wait to urge.
Zhang Ren's eyes moved slightly, but he still hesitated.
Seeing this, Lei Tong continued to persuade:
"I said, General Zhang, what is there to hesitate about. "
"I think there are three benefits to returning to Cao Wei. "
Zhang Ren raised his head and looked at Lei Tong.
"First of all, with our Sword Pavilion lonely city, we must not be able to defend it, if we don't surrender to Wei, it will be a dead end, and if we descend to Wei, we can save the lives of 20,000 soldiers. "
"Secondly, General Zhang, if you return to Emperor Wei, you will be courteous to Emperor Wei, and you will be promoted to a knighthood, and your grace will be incomparable. "
"In the end, Emperor Wei is Liu Bei's mortal enemy, we will return to Wei, general, you can also borrow the hand of Wei (cfbj) to avenge the Duke of Shu!"
"With these three benefits, we will not descend to Emperor Wei at this time, let alone what to do!"
Lei Tong sprinkled with joy, weighing and analyzing the pros and cons for Zhang Ren.
Zhang Ren's eyes flickered.
What Zhennan general, what Mianzhu Marquis's title, these are still secondary.
The key is what Lei Tong said, the last benefit.
Avenge Liu Zhang!
This is the point that impresses Zhang Ren the most.
"What you said is right, Liu Bei killed the Duke of Shu, as a minister of Shu, this revenge will not be avenged as a minister!" (read the violent novel, go to the Feilu Novel Network!)
"With my own strength, I will not be Liu Bei's opponent, only with the help of the hand of Lord Wei can I get what I want and avenge the Duke of Shu!"
"Well, I should surrender to Lord Wei!"
Zhang Ren clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, obviously having made a decision.
Then.
Wu Lan coughed a few times and reminded:
"General Zhang, I have to remind you. "
"Now Wei is weak and Han is strong. "
"The Lord of Wei and the Han Emperor have been fighting for many years, and they have always been at a disadvantage, otherwise they would not have lost Hebei and the Central Plains one after another. "
"General Zhang, if you take us to surrender to the Wei State, aren't you afraid that the Lord of Wei is not Liu Bei's opponent?"
"At that time, if we not only can't take revenge, but also have to be buried for Lord Wei, what should we do?"
"General Zhang, you have to think clearly. "
Wu Lan reminded earnestly.
Zhang Ren was in a daze again, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
What General Wu said is not unreasonable. "
"In that case, let's not surrender to Wei, not to surrender—"
Before the word "Han" could be spoken, Zhang Ren's eyes exploded, and he glared at Lei Tong fiercely.
Lei Tong shuddered, and immediately closed his mouth, not daring to say anything more.
Zhang Renxin wants to avenge Liu Zhang, how can he surrender to Han!
Isn't his proposal to surrender to Han to be boring?
Zhang Ren took a deep breath, got up slowly, and said proudly:
"Lord Wei is not Liu Bei's opponent, that's because he doesn't have my Zhang Ren's assistance. "
"I have made up my mind, return to the emperor of Great Wei, help him destroy Liu Bei, and avenge the Duke of Shu!"
