    Hanzhong, in the city of Nanzheng.

    In the prefect's house, Liu Bei had a gloomy face, sometimes looking at the map, sometimes walking around, looking a little uneasy.

    Zhang Lu ordered Zhang Wei to lead 20,000 troops and horses to escort Liu Bei's army into Hanzhong, and then leave the Xie Valley to attack Cao Cao in the north.

    It¡¯s called escort, but it¡¯s actually surveillance.

    Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were in the army outside the city. Liu Bei entered Nanzheng City with only 500 guards and Zhuge Liang.

    But Zhang Lu never dreamed that these five hundred guards were Liu Bei's most elite white-eared soldiers.  Moreover, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were among these guards.  In the military camp outside the city, it was actually Shiren and Fan Jiang pretending to be Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the 10,000-strong army was led by Guan Ping.

    As a result, during the banquet, Liu Bei suddenly launched an attack, catching Zhang Lu off guard and taking control of the entire Nanzheng city.

    At the same time, Guan Ping sent Sima Zhang Da to lead 300 soldiers and horses, and occupied Dingjun Mountain with lightning speed. The remaining 7,000 soldiers and horses cooperated with the elite Bai'er soldiers in the city and captured Nanzheng City.  .

    However, after a long delay, Zhang Lu was rescued by Yan Pu and took advantage of the chaos to escape from the city and arrived at Zhang Wei's camp.

    At this time, it was discovered that Zhang Wei had been drunk by Yang Bai.

    Now Zhang Lu understands everything. It turns out that brothers Yang Song and Yang Bai had already taken refuge with Liu Bei.  No wonder he said so many good things for Liu Bei and made himself agree to Liu Bei's request.  But now it was too late to regret it. He wanted to kill everyone in his family, but Yang Bai had already fled into the city.

    However, Yan Pu did not panic and asked Yang Ang to guard Yang'an Pass and Yang Ren to guard Wakou Pass. Then he mobilized Baocheng soldiers and horses to gather outside Nanzheng City.

    But the city of Nanzheng is tall and tall. Liu Bei has 7,000 soldiers and horses, plus Zhang Da's 3,000 soldiers and horses in Dingjun Mountain, who can respond at any time. Zhang Lu dare not attack the city boldly, and the two sides form a confrontation.

    Liu Bei was uneasy. Although there was plenty of food and grass in the city, Zhang Lu had been operating in Hanzhong for many years, and the people's wishes would be lost if he stayed for a long time!

    "Brother, I have arrested Zhang Lu, Zhang Wei and Yan Pu's family members and imprisoned them all. Please punish me!" Zhang Fei came to the prefect's mansion.

    "Yide, why do you want to arrest their family members?" Liu Bei looked a little surprised.

    "Brother, if the guy from Yan Pu hadn't rescued Zhang Lu, we would have captured the entire Hanzhong by now. Please kill his family members on top of the city to disturb their minds and relieve the hatred in my heart!"  Zhang Fei said angrily.

    "No!" Liu Bei shook his head, "Cao Cao once massacred the city in Xuzhou and was extremely cruel. But since I raised the army, I have been doing the opposite. I am benevolent and righteous to the world. How can I harm other people's families?"

    "Brother, these are troubled times, benevolence and righteousness are useless!" Zhang Fei listened to Liu Bei's words and disagreed. "How about Cao Cao's cruelty? He has occupied the entire north. Brother benevolence and righteousness don't even have a foothold now. How about not killing people?"  Can you establish your authority?"

    "Brother, the third brother is right. Those who deserve benevolence must be treated with benevolence and those who deserve to be killed must be killed!" Guan Yu also walked in. "If the elder brother can't bear to do it, then I will let Guan Ping do it. I must let him do it."  Zhang Lu and Yan Pu are afraid!"

    "This" Liu Bei still hesitated.

    "Brother!"

    "Okay!" Liu Bei gritted his teeth, "Tie Yan Pu and Zhang Lu's family members to the top of the city and force Zhang Lu to surrender! If he doesn't surrender, he will be killed!"

    "good!"

    Guan Yu and Zhang Fei left the prefect's mansion and immediately sent people to the prison to take the family members of Yan Pu, Zhang Lu and others out.

    There are more than 400 men, women and children, the oldest is seventy or eighty years old with gray hair, and the youngest is still in his arms.

    Looking at the fierce-looking soldiers escorting them, they naturally understood their fate, and many people burst into tears.

    The people in Nanzheng City shed tears watching all this.

    "Stop, what are you doing?" Suddenly, Zhuge Liang and more than a dozen guards stopped these soldiers.

    "Military advisor, we are ordered by the second general and the third general to take these people to the top of the city!" A military commander saluted Zhuge Liang and said.

    "Taking them to the top of the city? That's nonsense!" Zhuge Liang's face darkened, "They are all innocent, let them go quickly!"

    "But military advisor, this is the order of the second general and the third general" Army Sima was a little embarrassed. If he disobeyed the orders of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he naturally knew what the consequences would be.

    "Release him immediately, otherwise military law will be imposed!" Zhuge Liang became angry.

    "No!"

    "Who dares to let me go?"

    At this momentA gong-like sound sounded, which made people's ears buzz. The army commander who was about to release the people shivered involuntarily and stood motionless!

    You don¡¯t need to look to know that the third general, Zhang Fei, has arrived.

    "General Zhang, you must not be reckless, otherwise"

    "Military advisor, when did I, Zhang Fei, become reckless? I am carrying out the order of my eldest brother and want to take them to the top of the city to be executed!" Before Zhuge Liang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhang Fei.

    "My lord's order? Absolutely impossible!" Zhuge Liang didn't believe it was Liu Bei's order. "My lord is kind, how could he give such an order!"

    "Anyway, this is Brother's order. If you don't believe me, just ask!" Zhang Fei didn't want to explain to Zhuge Liang, "Press them to the top of the city quickly!"

    "No!"

    "You" Zhuge Liang saw that he could not stop Zhang Fei, so he quickly went to the prefect's mansion.

    When he arrived at the prefect's mansion, he rushed in without announcing anything. Liu Bei was in his study.

    "Kong Ming, what's the matter?" Liu Bei was a little dissatisfied when he saw Zhuge Liang barging in without informing him.

    "My lord, I forgive you, the matter was urgent, so I didn't report it!" Zhuge Liang quickly saluted Liu Bei.

    "what's the matter?"

    "Zhang Fei took the family members of Yan Pu, Zhang Lu and others to the top of the city, intending to behead them"

    "I know this!" Liu Bei said calmly after hearing this.

    "My lord is kind, please don't kill these people!"

    "Why not kill them?" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang, "Zhang Lu's army is besieging the city. If these people continue to cause chaos in the city, wouldn't it be dangerous? Kill them to avoid future troubles!"

    "My lord! If we kill them, Zhang Lu will definitely fight to the death with us outside the city. There are still 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, and Yang'an Pass and Wakou Pass are dangerous passes that are easy to defend but difficult to attack. How can we win Hanzhong?"  Huh? On the contrary, as long as the lord doesn¡¯t kill their family members! If Zhang Lu throws himself into a trap, over time, he will definitely have the desire to surrender. At that time, we will send people to persuade him, and we can take Hanzhong without a single blow!"

    "These family members are nothing to Zhang Lu. They can be abandoned at any time. How could Zhang Lu resort to such a weapon? There is no siege now because we have occupied Dingjun Mountain!"

    "My lord is benevolent and righteous. He who conquers the world with kindness will not harm his parents; he who conquers the world with righteousness will never end his descendants!" With tears in his eyes and full of helplessness at the same time, Zhuge Liang bowed deeply to Liu Bei and said, "Leave Zhang  I have a clever plan for the families of Lu, Yan Pu and others, and I will definitely make them surrender!"

    "Okay!" Liu Bei finally nodded.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
