Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 88: This old minister will never serve two masters again!
Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.

Xing Daorong looked at the scene in front of him. Although everything seemed reasonable, he always felt that something was wrong.

But Liu Bei seemed unaware of it.

Seeing Zhang Biao bowing, he stepped forward to help him up.

Zhang Biao seemed to be too sad, and no matter how Liu Bei pulled him, he just couldn't get up.

Xing Daorong felt something was wrong and slowly walked closer to Liu Bei.

Just as he walked to Liu Bei, he suddenly heard an angry shout.

"Liu Bei!"

"Watch me kill you!"

Zhang Ren was seen untied at some point, and rushed towards Liu Bei with a tiny dagger in his hand.

Fortunately, Xing Daorong was well prepared. He kicked hard with a sweeping kick directly towards Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren thought that his sudden attack would eventually succeed, but he didn't expect Xing Daorong to react so quickly.

He had just jumped up when he was kicked down.

There is only one chance for this assassination.

Strive to kill with one strike, no second chance.

After being kicked down by Xing Daorong, the surrounding soldiers immediately rushed forward and tied Zhang Ren up tightly.

Xing Daorong did not dare to relax at all. He drew out his sword and slashed at Zhang Biao.

Of course this table is fake.

He was Zhang Ren's most trusted soldier. He knew he was coming to die, but he was still willing to sacrifice his life.

But when he came, he was afraid of being searched, so he didn't bring any weapons.

It would be a pipe dream to want to snatch the sword from Xing Daorong with bare hands at this moment.

With just one move, the fake "Zhang Biao" was killed.

Liu Bei was not very panicked.

At first, he was frightened by Zhang Ren's jumping up, but then he felt relieved when he saw that he posed no threat.

At that moment, he looked at Zhang Ren with a complicated expression and said, "General Zhang, why do you want to kill me? Do you know my ambition?"

"I want to support the Han Dynasty and bring peace to the world!"

"Let the people return to the peaceful days of the past, and let there be no more war in the world!"

"If you kill me, who will rule the world?"

"Is it Cao Cao who used the emperor to control the princes, or Sun Quan of Jiangdong?"

"Or do you want to rely on your Liu Zhang to destroy Cao and his grandson?"

No one knew what Zhang Ren thought about Liu Bei's questioning, but Xing Daorong felt from the bottom of his heart that what he said was very right.

It’s not that Cao Cao is incapable, but he is afraid that the old villain Sima will survive to the end and let him succeed again.

As for Sun Quan...

Anyway, I never thought about it.

Unfortunately, Zhang Ren does not have this kind of situation at all.

He just said angrily: "You have no sense of shame, you attacked my master and still want to unify the world, you are the most ridiculous thing in the world!"

Liu Bei heard that Zhang Ren was stubborn and did not say much, but said calmly: "I thought you were unwilling to surrender to me, but I thought you were a loyal and righteous man. Do you have anything else to say?"

Zhang Ren raised his neck and shouted: "I will never serve two masters again!"

After calling out, he closed his eyes, lowered his head, and asked for nothing more.

Seeing this, Liu Bei waved his hand and asked people to leave.

At this point, Zhang Ren, the last loyal general of Xichuan, died in Liu Bei's camp.

He made a final effort.

But in the end, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree, and was kicked to death by Xing Daorong.

but…

Zhuge Liang was still quite curious, how did Xing Daorong seem to have seen that something was wrong and had already made preparations. Xing Daorong explained: "Zhang Ren killed Zhang Song, knowing that he had made a mortal enemy with the Zhang family, how could he be easily captured by Zhang Biao?"

"Besides, even if Zhang Biao captured Zhang Ren, why would he have to cross the city to come here, and come alone?"

"If Zhang Ren was really captured, I would have started to scold him even if no one else said anything."

"All these things are really strange. That's why I am so cautious and keep an eye on Zhang Ren all the time."

"As soon as he made a move, I reacted immediately."

Zhuge Liang nodded repeatedly and praised: "Zi Yu is bold and careful. Today is thanks to you again."

Xing Daorong has made enough achievements, so he has begun to not care about this little bit of credit.

He just waved his hand and said, "My lord, send the news of Zhang Ren's death to Chengdu, and Liu Zhang will surely surrender."

Zhuge Liang also said: "Tell Fa Zheng, Wu Yi, Yan Yan, and Li Yan to write letters to each of them, so that the noble families in Chengdu can defect. Liu Zhang will have no one to use, and the great event can be settled."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei praised the advice and followed it.

...

"I have received your grace for a long time. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, you generals are willing to surrender. I really cannot bear to see you being humiliated."

"I only wish to fight to the death, to kill Liu Bei with one last desperate strike."

"If I see Liu Bei's army retreating tomorrow, then my mission will be accomplished. You can gather all the troops and attack together."

"If you see that Liu Bei's army is not retreating, then I have already sacrificed my life for you. Please do not worry about me, Governor. Instead, think about how to deal with the enemy."

Liu Zhang didn't see the letter Zhang Ren sent him until the next day.

The sincerity in the letter made Liu Zhang cry.

only…

Liu Bei's army outside the city showed no signs of withdrawing.

He even took the initiative to send someone to bring back Zhang Ren's body and asked Liu Zhang to claim it.

Seeing that Zhang Ren was dead, everyone in Chengdu became even more restless.

None of the families knew what was going on with Zhang Ren.

All I know is that he drew his sword and killed Zhang Song, vowing to resist to the end. The next day, his body was sent to him by Liu Bei.

No matter what happened, Liu Bei was too efficient!

Who still has the will to resist now?
...

Three days later.

Seeing that there was no reaction from inside the city, Liu Bei gathered five armies and attacked the city together.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Xing Daorong led one of their own troops, while Wei Yan and Yan Yan each led another, and they attacked the city from five directions.

The soldiers in the city fought desperately and finally defended the city before sunset.

Just looking at the dusty faces of the generals in the city and the high spirits of Liu Bei's generals outside the city, Liu Zhang finally shook his head and sighed: "My father and I have been in Shu for more than 20 years, and have done nothing good for the people. Now the situation is like this. For the safety of the people, maybe we should open the city and surrender."

When everyone around Liu Zhang heard this, no matter what they were thinking, they all burst into tears.

Suddenly a man came in and said, "My Lord, what you said is in line with the will of heaven."

He was a native of Xichong, Baxi, with a surname of Qiao, given name of Zhou, and courtesy name of Yunan. He was well versed in astronomy.

Liu Zhang asked what the explanation was, but Qiao Zhou said, "One night, I observed the celestial phenomena and saw a group of stars gathering in Shu County. The largest star was as bright as the moon, which was a sign of the emperor. Moreover, a year ago, children sang a song saying: If you want to eat new rice, you must wait for the first lord to come... This is an omen, and you cannot go against the will of heaven."

This children's rumor sounds like something Qiao Zhou made up himself. It's really outrageous.

Liu Ba, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand what he said and became furious and wanted to kill him.

Liu Zhang blocked it.

Suddenly, someone reported: "Grand Administrator Xu Jing has jumped out of the city and surrendered!"

Upon hearing that someone else had left him, Liu Zhang could no longer hold back his tears and returned home.

Such humiliation is really heartbreaking.

Just by looking at his back as he returns home, everyone knows that things are about to change in Chengdu.
