Xu Chu cursed while resisting the attack from the Luofeng Arrow Guards: "It's all my fault, Lao Xu. If I had known that Zhang Ren was so difficult to deal with, Lao Xu would have brought the eight hundred Tiger Guards. If there were any
Eight hundred army souls and tiger guards are helping us, so what does this mere Phoenix Arrow Guard mean?"
Xu Chu was cursing, and in Dian Wei's ears, Dian Wei even cursed loudly: "It's all your fault, Lao Xu. Lao Dian, what did I say before? After all, we are also the ones who have trained the military soul army. This time
How can the pearl of the Army Soul Corps be covered in dust when we go on an expedition? We should bring it with us. It would be better for you to slap your chest and fool me, saying that our own strength alone is enough to overwhelm everything. You should do it to me.
Let’s take a look at it.”
Looking at the Luofeng Arrow Guards opposite, Dian Wei couldn't help but miss the eight hundred Euphorbia warriors he had trained. That was the military spirit army he had just trained after finally asking Huang Zhong, Lu Bu, Zhang He and other generals for advice. As a result,
It's because I listened to Xu Chu's words but didn't take them with me.
Hearing Dian Wei's complaint, Xu Chu couldn't help showing a bit of embarrassment. He coughed lightly and punched out a hail of arrows, saying, "Who would have thought that this Ren would be so difficult to deal with."
Dian Wei curled his lips and said: "What's so difficult about it? Lao Dian, I just don't want to fight with all my strength. Otherwise, without Zhang Ren in charge, I can completely kill the mere Luofengjianwei Lao Dian with all my strength."
Xu Chu couldn't help laughing. Just like what Dian Wei said, it wasn't that they had no way to take down the Phoenix Arrow Guards, but they were just unwilling to risk their lives.
After all, Zhang Ren couldn't hold on for long. If he risked his life here, he would end up seriously injured and return home. When he returned to the capital, he met Huang Zhong, Lu Bu and others. Wouldn't they look very shameless?
Compared to Dian Wei, Xu Chu was more confident, but Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, Cao Chun and others looked solemn. Unlike Dian Wei, Xu Chu was valued by Chu Yi, and under special guidance, the two of them developed military spirits.
Legion.
Accompanying Cao Cao on this expedition, Cao Cao knew the abilities of his brothers, so he naturally assigned his troops to their command, hoping that his brothers would be more ambitious and build their own military spirit army in the battle of Sichuan and Shu.
Xiahou Yuan said to Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong and others: "You guys can help me a little bit, and wait until I kill into the Luofeng Arrow Guards and disrupt their formation."
When Xiahou Dun and others heard this, their expressions couldn't help but change. You must know that Xiahou Yuan's move was very risky, and he might die in it. After all, it was still a military soul army, and it should not be underestimated.
They barely managed to parry without worrying about losing their lives, but to step forward alone to attack an army of souls was a decision that was only made in a daze.
However, several people looked at each other, but they did not stop Xia Houyuan. They saw the weapons in their hands swept across, and they all activated their Dharma signs to block a wave of arrows. At the same time, Xia Houyuan turned into a stream of light, and his body
The shape is like a sharp sword stabbing at the Luofeng Arrow Guard.
The Luofeng Arrow Guards, without Zhang Ren, could stop Dian Wei. It was already very difficult for Xu Chu and the other powerful generals. Now they were naturally shocked to see Xia Houyuan coming to kill them.
A song leader tried to mobilize the power of the Luofeng Arrow Guards to attack Xia Houyuan, but at this moment a shout came out, and they saw a stream of light coming through the sky, it was Dian Wei. Xu Chu and Xu Chu saw Xia Houyuan desperately trying his best.
Immediately the weapon in his hand flew away.
The two weapons that broke through the air naturally shocked the Luofeng Arrow Guards. They shot out arrows one after another in an attempt to stop the offensive of Xu Chu, Dian Wei and others.
Amidst the rumbling sounds, the weapons of Dian Wei and Xu Chu were blocked, but Xia Houyuan used his extreme speed to rush into the Luofeng Arrow Guards.
"kill!"
In just a blink of an eye, dozens of Luofeng Arrow Guards were killed by Xia Houyuan before they had time to react. Immediately, there was a flaw in the operation of Luofeng Arrow Guards.
Although it is just a slight flaw, for strong men such as Dian Wei and Xu Chu, the pressure that a military soul army that no longer operates smoothly can bring to them is equivalent to nothing.
In an instant, several figures rushed into the Luofeng Arrow Guards. In just a dozen breaths, under the killing of several fierce generals, a mere thousand Luofeng Arrow Guards were killed and injured. Such an army soul
The legion actually vanished into thin air.
Zhang Ren was now unable to withstand the power coming from the two divine flags. His whole face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Especially when Zhang Ren saw that the Luofeng Arrow Guard that he had worked so hard to display fell like a meteor for the first time, he was really shocked. With a "Wow" sound, a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.
out.
As Zhang Ren was injured, Zhang Ren, who was still barely holding on, finally could no longer stop the fire that filled the sky. In just the blink of an eye, the boundless fire fell and immediately covered everything on the city wall.
The fire was extremely dangerous, but for strong men such as Dian Wei and Cao Chun, the fire could not hurt them, but these fires were no less than a disaster for the defenders above the city gate.
Except for a handful of generals with third-rate military training who barely managed to survive among the thousands of soldiers defending the city above the city gate, the rest of the soldiers died in the blazing fire.
On the altar in the distance, Cao Cao and Pang Degong looked at the Wind God Flag. The Fire God Flag broke Zhang Ren's defense and couldn't help but smile.
Under the combination of the two divine flags, Zhang Ren was naturally unable to stop him for a long time. If it were not for the support of the large formation on the city gate and the army behind him, he would have been suppressed by the combined offensive of the Fengshen Flag and the Fire God Flag early on.
Went down.
You must know that when Han Sui was in charge of one Fengshen banner, a general like Lu Bu was helpless, let alone two banners this time.
As expected, Zhang Ren only managed to hold on for less than half an hour. Not only did he not stop the two divine flags, he also caught up with the army of military souls that he had worked hard to train.
Several lieutenants carried the distraught Zhang Ren and fled out of the city. As the city gate fell, the imperial troops attacked the city wall.
Once the city gate fell, how could the defenders resist the wolf-like tiger-like imperial army commanded by Cao Hong, Xia Houyuan and others?
Looking at Zhang Ren and others running away on the mountain road from a distance, the Xia Houyuan brothers' eyes naturally lit up, especially when they saw Dian Wei, Xu Chu and the others had no intention of taking action. They didn't know that they deliberately killed Zhang Ren.
Left to their brothers.
After all, Zhang Ren is also a famous general in Sichuan and Sichuan. This time, he stopped them at the Golden Bull Road. If they hadn't brought out two sacred flags, they would have been blocked here for who knows how long. Therefore, Zhang Ren's name can be regarded as a famous one.
A complete start.
If their brothers can capture Zhang Ren, they will naturally become famous.
Xu Chu raised his hand towards Dian Wei, and the Xia Houyuan brothers immediately jumped over the fleeing soldiers and went straight to catch up with Zhang Ren and the others.
As Zhang Ren and several generals fled, except for a very small number of the tens of thousands of defenders at the city gate who fled, all the rest chose to surrender.
After all, the majesty of the Han court has not been lost. In the hearts of ordinary people, the Han court still has a very high prestige. Therefore, these soldiers chose to surrender obediently, which really saved Cao Cao's words.
About half an hour later, Cao Cao was accompanying Pang Degong and watching the army slowly pass through the Golden Bull Road, when he saw several figures descending from the sky. Who were Xia Houyuan and others who went to pursue Zhang Ren?
He saw Xia Houyuan holding a figure in his hand. Just looking at the other party's extremely embarrassed appearance, Cao Cao could tell at a glance that the other party was Zhang Ren who blocked him in front of the Golden Bull Road.
However, Zhang Ren looked very embarrassed at this moment, and he was also unconscious. Judging from his heavy injuries, it goes without saying that both sides must have fought hard to capture Zhang Ren.
It's a pity that although Zhang Ren's cultivation is not bad, he is not at the level of a peerless warrior. At most, he is comparable to Cao Hong and Xia Houyuan.
One-on-one, Zhang Ren may be able to handle one or two. The key is that Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, and Cao Chun attack together. Let alone Zhang Ren, even if it is Xu Chu, Dian Wei and the others will not be able to withstand it.
"General, the last general has fulfilled his mission and specially captured Zhang Ren to restore his order."
Stroking his beard, Cao Cao glanced at Xia Houyuan and others, nodded slightly and said: "Okay, being able to capture Zhang Ren alive is an achievement, and I, the general, will show my merit for you."
As he spoke, Cao Cao turned to Xun You beside him and said, "Mr. Xun, how do you think this job should be handled?"
Xun You pondered for a moment and said: "Zhang Ren is the leader of the Sichuan and Shu generals. Among the many Sichuan and Shu generals, the only one who can rival him is Yan Yan. Now that Zhang Ren has been captured alive, if he can
If you surrender this person, then the road to Sichuan will be smooth. At least the next few checkpoints may be easy to pass."
When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "What Mr. Xun said is true."
While speaking, Cao Cao flicked his finger, and a burst of energy entered Zhang Ren's body, and Zhang Ren suddenly woke up from his coma.
The moment he regained consciousness, Zhang Ren instinctively made a defensive posture. Unfortunately, the severe pain in his body made him wake up suddenly. He opened his eyes and saw everyone clearly. His expression changed slightly and he said: "Everyone wants to kill."
If you want to cut it, please do as you wish."
Cao Cao grinned and said: "General Zhang's words are wrong. General, doesn't he know that Liu Yan is entrenched in the land of Sichuan and Shu and stands on his own, which is actually a traitor to our Han Dynasty. How can the general be a traitor like Liu Yan if he is innocent?"
He was defiled by thieves, so Cao Mou gave me some kind advice and asked the general to know how to return when he got lost."
Zhang Ren glanced at Cao Cao indifferently and said: "Cao Mengde, don't waste any more words. Zhang is loyal to the King of Han, how can he betray the King of Han at random?"
No matter how Cao Cao tried to persuade him, Zhang Ren refused to listen and showed a ready-to-kill attitude, which amazed everyone.
In the end, Cao Cao could only order Zhang Ren to be sent to the capital to await the court's decision.
The army took a short rest and then set off, heading straight for Sichuan and Shu along the Jinniu Road.
When the news of Zhang Ren's defeat reached Yizhou, Liu Yan and all his subordinates in Chengdu were shocked.
It can be said that Zhang Ren's ability is very clear to everyone present. However, Zhang Ren was not able to stop the imperial army and was captured within a few days.
I originally thought that with the danger of mountains and rivers, I could stop the imperial army from Sichuan and Shu, but I never expected that Zhang Ren would be defeated so quickly.
Almost as soon as the news reached the city, the city suddenly became undercurrent, and countless aristocratic families were secretly moving around and colluding with each other.
Capital
Prince Chu's Mansion
In the palace, Chu Yi was discussing Taoism with Nanhua Taoist and another Taoist. This Taoist was none other than Taoist Zixu who came at the invitation of Zhang Lu.
Taoist Zixu felt that everything was like a dream. Zhang Lu originally invited him here to help him deal with Chu Yi, but when he came to the capital, he found out that Zhang Lu had taken refuge in Chu Yi, which made him miserable.
He was stunned for a while.
However, Taoist Zixu is not a fool. Taoist Nanhua showed up and gave his own explanation. Taoist Zixu knew how to choose without thinking too much.
While they were discussing Taoism, an auspicious cloud fell from the sky. Whether it was Chu Yi, Nan Hua or Zixu Taoist, they all looked towards that auspicious cloud.
Above the auspicious clouds, Yu Ji, Zuo Ci and Zhang Luzheng surrounded a Taoist wearing a purple gold crown and gorgeous Taoist robes and slowly descended.
When Chu Yi looked at the Taoist, the Taoist also stared at Chu Yi, his eyes like a bottomless abyss full of endless mysteries, full of Taoism, giving people the impression that he might turn into an immortal and leave at any time.
feel.
The moment he saw the Taoist, a name came to Chu Yi's mind, Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling.
Apart from this person, Chu Yi really couldn't think of anyone else in the world who could give him this unfathomable feeling.
While Chu Yi was amazed at Zhang Daoling's profound Taoism, Zhang Daoling was also full of curiosity about Chu Yi.
Chu Yi's cultivation naturally had no secrets under Zhang Daoling's gaze, but it was precisely because of this that Zhang Daoling was full of curiosity about Chu Yi.
Under Zhang Daoling's observation, Chu Yi's cultivation base was extremely solid, which he had never seen before in his life. Although he had just entered the Heavenly King realm for the first time, for some reason, when he looked at Chu Yi, he felt like he couldn't figure it out.
It is clear that Chu Yi only has the cultivation level of the Heavenly King. If he is willing to take action, he can suppress him with a flip of his hand. However, Zhang Daoling has a feeling that if he really takes action, he will never be able to suppress Chu Yi.
It was this strange feeling that made Zhang Daoling look at Chu Yi with interest.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Lu, Zuo Ci, Yu Ji, and Zhang Daoling fell from the air into the palace and appeared in front of Chu Yi and others.
Chu Yi stood up with a smile on his face, raised his hands to Zhang Daoling and said, "If Chu guessed correctly, you are the legendary Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling, Master Zhang."
Zhang Daoling, as a descendant of Zhang Liang who was waiting for Zhang Liang, can be said to have a good family background, and his appearance is even more handsome and elegant, which makes people forget the vulgarity. He saw a Taoist etiquette written by Zhang Daoling: "The blessings are born in the infinite gods, but the poor Zhang Daoling met the King of Chu.
