    "General Zhang, no!" Yan Pu looked at Zhang Wei and shook his head, "Lord, during this period, I did not allow the siege. I was not only worried about the three thousand soldiers and horses in Dingjun Mountain, but what I was really worried about was Baishui.  Deng Xian from Guan and Zhang Ren from Jiange!"

    "Deng Xian and Zhang Ren?" Zhang Lu was a little confused.

    "Yes!" Yan Pu nodded, "Zhuge Liang's use of troops is indeed unusual. He stationed three thousand soldiers and horses at Dingjun Mountain, which not only hindered our attack on the city, but also blocked Liu Zhang's troops from entering Hanzhong!"

    "Yan Changshi meant that Liu Bei's capture of Hanzhong was not Liu Zhang's intention?" Zhang Wei asked.

    "How could Liu Bei, a great hero, be under Liu Zhang's command all the time? He attacked Hanzhong and wanted to use this place as a base to conquer the world!"

    "Strive for hegemony in the world?"

    "In today's troubled times, the weak are preying on the strong, and Hanzhong is an important place with access from the north to the south. Even if Liu Bei doesn't come, Cao Cao, Liu Zhang, Sun Quan, and Liu Cong will come sooner or later. My lord can either fight for hegemony like them and fight to the end, or surrender to them."

    After Yan Pu finished speaking, Zhang Lu fell into deep thought.  When it comes to competing for world hegemony, Zhang Lu has no such ambition. Of course, he also knows that he does not have the ability.

    He just wanted to keep his county in troubled times.  But now it seems that it is impossible to keep it.

    Surrender to Liu Bei?  Although Liu Bei's subordinates include Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other famous generals in the world, as well as talents like Zhuge Liang, he is not willing to give in!  Liu Bei only had 10,000 troops, but he only occupied Nanzheng.  As long as he attacks desperately, Liu Bei will be defeated!  However, that would be cheaper for Liu Zhang.

    Liu Zhang is his enemy.  Hanzhong can be given to anyone, but it cannot be given to Liu Zhang.

    "Kill!"

    "Capture Zhang Lu alive!"

    At this moment, a cry of killing suddenly came from outside the tent.

    "Liu Bei sent troops to rob the camp!" Zhang Lu was shocked.

    "This" Zhang Wei couldn't believe it, "I have arranged soldiers to patrol the camp, and Liu Bei only has 7,000 troops, how dare he leave the city!"

    "General Zhang, hurry up, organize your troops and horses, don't let the soldiers get into chaos!" Yan Pu said hurriedly.

    "Okay!" Zhang Wei hurried out.

    Yan Pu immediately organized himself and Zhang Lu's soldiers and ambush them in the commander's tent.

    "My lord, you are in the commander's tent. You must not go out. I will lead the troops to kill and drive back the enemy!"

    "Yan Changshi wants to be more careful!" Zhang Lu's voice was trembling.

    After Yan Pu came out, he first stabilized several nearby battalions, organized more than 2,000 soldiers, lit torches, raised flags, and gathered the rebels.

    The shouts of killing gradually weakened, and within an hour, the enemy retreated.  Yan Pu and Zhang Wei counted the troops and horses, and found that the losses were not great, with only more than 2,000 casualties.

    But Yan Pu was surprised when he discovered that Liu Bei's soldiers left only dozens of corpses.

    Even if they were caught off guard, how could the difference in combat power between the two sides be so huge?

    After the two returned to the handsome tent, Zhang Lu was still in shock.

    "Yan Changshi, have the enemy troops retreated?"

    "We retreated, and our army suffered more than 2,000 casualties!" Yan Pu said.

    "Ohmore than two thousand casualties." Zhang Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    "But my lord, only a few dozen of Liu Bei's soldiers died!"

    "What? Only a few dozen people died?" Zhang Lu couldn't believe it.  In this battle, people often say that killing one thousand enemies will result in eight hundred losses for oneself. Even if there is a gap in combat power between the two sides and two thousand people are killed, how can the other side only lose a few dozen people?

    No matter how hard you believe it, this is also true!  Because Yan Pu would not lie to him.

    "Report¡ª¡ª" Suddenly a soldier ran into the tent, "Report, sir, a letter has been sent from the city!"

    "Liu Bei sent me a message? Submit it!"

    The soldier presented the letter to Zhang Lu, turned around and went out.

    After Zhang Lu read it, he frowned and handed it to Yan Pu.

    "Chen arrived and thousands of people robbed the camp!" Yan Pu was shocked when he saw it.

    "How is this possible for a thousand people to rob the camp?" Zhang Wei kept shaking his head.  Their camp had a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses, but Chen Dao was so bold that a thousand men dared to rob the camp!

    "Lord, this is Liu Bei's plan to knock down the mountain and stun the tiger!" Yan Pu put down the letter, "Although we in Hanzhong have an army of 40,000 to 50,000, our combat power is far inferior to Liu Bei's soldiers. When he entered Nanzheng City that day, he only brought with him  Five hundred soldiers. But they killed more than a thousand soldiers of our prefecture and were completely defeated. At that time, I thought that Liu Bei had only these elite soldiers, but now it seems that I was wrong. A Chen Dao, who is so brave, thenWho can be defeated by Fei Fei or Guan Yu?  If I guessed correctly, Liu Bei will send people to the camp tomorrow, so my lord must make a decision early!  "

    "This" Zhang Lu looked confused.

    The next day, Liu Bei indeed sent Sun Qian to Zhang Lu¡¯s camp outside the city.  After thinking about it all night, Zhang Lu decided to surrender to Liu Bei and sacrifice all of Hanzhong.

    Liu Bei was very happy and made Zhang Lu the chief historian of Hanzhong, Yan Pu the military advisor general, Zhang Wei the Xiaoqi captain, Yang Ang the Duqi captain, and Yang Ren the Shesheng captain.

    Suddenly, Liu Bei's strength increased greatly.  There are nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses, including more than ten generals including Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, Guan Ping, Fan Jiang, Zhang Da, Shi Ren, Zhang Wei, Yang Ang, and Yang Ren, and counselors including Zhuge Liang, Yan Pu, and Jian  Yong, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, etc. had sufficient food and grass.  When the news came out, the world was shocked!

    Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

    Liu Cong has been in the study recently and rarely even goes to the ladies.  Because the new paper made by craftsmen has reached a new level.

    There are already five or six sheets on the desk. From bottom to top, the color becomes whiter and whiter, and the surface becomes smoother and smoother. Especially the top one is very close to modern paper.

    "Okay, that's it!" Liu Cong put down the pen. The ink did not print on the paper, and the water absorption was very good.

    Originally, the craftsman was very satisfied with the bottom piece. It was many times better than Caihou paper.  Writing on it can be compared with brocade silk.

    But Liu Cong was dissatisfied because he knew that the invention of paper would improve the level of civilization in the entire world, and in order for printing to come out, paper must be constantly improved.

    After Liu Cong¡¯s continuous guidance and the craftsmen¡¯s continuous practice, he was finally satisfied.

    "My lord, news from Hanzhong!" At this moment, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng hurried to the study.

    Since he was focused on making paper, during this period, as long as the news from Tianwang camp was not very important, Liu Cong asked Ma Zhong to send it directly to Pang Tong and Fazheng.

    "Liu Bei has taken over the position of governor of Hanzhong!" Pang Tong handed a piece of information to Liu Cong.

    "So fast?" Liu Cong was a little surprised.

    Since Liu Bei entered Hanzhong, Liu Cong believed that Hanzhong would belong to Liu Bei sooner or later, and Zhang Lu was definitely no match. However, he did not expect that Liu Bei would capture it in just over a month.

    "This Zhang Lu is so useless!" Liu Cong shook his head after looking at it.

    "Forty to fifty thousand soldiers and horses actually surrendered!" Fazheng also felt a little incredible.

    "Kong Ming's method of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger was so good that Zhang Lu completely lost his fighting spirit!" Pang Tong admired Zhuge Liang for taking Hanzhong so quickly, "Lord, if we want to take Hanzhong again in the future, I'm afraid it won't be easy!" (Remember this site)  Website: www.hlnovel.com
