The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 826
Zhang Cheng sighed, and said to Liu Zan: "General Liu, Liu Lue is still young, don't blame him too much. How many troops does our army have now?"

"It won't exceed six thousand."

Zhang Cheng didn't expect that after the battle last night, the loss of the new army would be so great. He asked, "Judging from the strength of the troops and the physical condition of the soldiers, we really have no hope of breaking through the encirclement now, right?"

Liu Zan nodded, and said firmly: "I have waited for so many years in Liu Zan, and finally I can shroud the body of the main male horse!"

It seems that Liuzan absolutely died in battle for Sun Quan this time.

Hearing Liu Zan's decisive words, Liu Lue's expression suddenly became even uglier.He looked at Zhang Cheng with a hint of pleading.

Zhang Cheng's heart trembled when he was left to look at it, then he turned his head and looked at his surroundings in the morning light that was still not very orderly.There are soldiers of his new army all around, and they are all downcast now, but even so, each of them is young and strong, but maybe they will all die within the next few hours. , were all killed by the Shu Han army, and blood was poured into the fertile soil of this hometown.

For a person like Zhang Cheng, it is not easy to humiliate him, and it is even more difficult to make him bow his head and surrender, but it is not too difficult for him to sacrifice his life for righteousness.Therefore, even if he leaves no praises, he already intends to be loyal to Sun Quan.

But now because of Liu Zan's pitiful eyes and seeing so many of his young children, Zhang Cheng suddenly felt unbearable.

Tangtang Zhang Cheng's mind was shaken just like that!
Zhang Cheng suddenly said to Liu Zan: "General Liu, you continue to organize soldiers to prepare for battle. However, now that we have so many lives in our hands, I have to carefully weigh their whereabouts. It's..."

Leaving praise and hearing the words, I couldn't help feeling anxious.He never imagined that Zhang Cheng would say such a thing at this time, which made it clear that he already had the intention of surrendering.

Liu Zan immediately persuaded: "General Zhang, don't say that! We are born as Jiangdong people, and we will die as Jiangdong's ghosts. If we surrender here, how will we face Jiangdong's elders in the future? After you go back, how will we go?" Face Master Zibu!"

Speaking of this, Liu Zan was really emotional, and tears were almost shed.

Liu slightly couldn't help but stare blankly.His father severed his hamstring in order to move his completely disabled leg, and almost died of blood loss.At that time, when he faced death, his face turned livid and dark black, but he was still calm and calm.

But now, in order to persuade Zhang Cheng, he almost burst into tears!
In Liu Lue's heart, he suddenly felt even more ashamed.

Zhang Cheng's head also lowered accordingly, obviously not because he didn't know that what Liu Zan said was indeed true.

But Zhang Cheng's mind is indeed good, and he said to Liu Zan: "What General Liu said is indeed reasonable. However, the new army we brought out this time has lost more than the average number. You know that every one of them Behind the people, how many relatives are there, and how many people are waiting for them to go back to take care of them? If we all die in this battle now, I don’t know how many people will appear in Jiangdong who will be sad for the rest of their lives because of our decision !"

Zhang Cheng's words are enough to prove that this person is indeed a benevolent person.However, these words were also spoken by him from the standpoint of a scribe, not what a general of the Jiangdong Army should say.It can be seen that Zhang Cheng is more of a scribe than a general.

Zhang Cheng's cognition is indeed in stark contrast to Liu Zan.As a pure general, it is impossible for Liuzan to think so much. He has only one goal: to exchange his life for victory, or to be loyal to the country.

At this time, Liu Zan finally fell into a dilemma because of Zhang Cheng's words, and said: "General Zhang, it is better to leave a name in history than to leave a bad name for thousands of years! I believe that everyone has the same idea, and they don't want their hometown to fall into the chaos. In the hands of the Shu Han army."

Zhang Chengjian couldn't convince him to leave a praise for a while, let alone there is no time now.

He immediately said to Liu Zan: "Leave the general, and you go down and prepare to fight. I will send someone to negotiate with Deng Ai and find out what Deng Ai thinks. It is inevitable that we can buy more time to rest. At that time, maybe people like Deng Ai didn't want to let us go at all."

Seeing that Zhang Cheng insisted on doing this, it was indeed for the sake of the lives of the soldiers, not because of personal greed for life and fear of death, so he bowed to Zhang Cheng, then turned around and left immediately after making a promise, and went to reorganize the troops to prepare for the battle.

At this time, Zhang Cheng waved to Liu slightly and said, "Come here, little general."

Liu slightly stepped forward to listen to the order.

Zhang Cheng said to Liu Lue: "I will leave it to you to deal with the matter of negotiating with Deng Ai this time."

Liu Lue was taken aback when he heard that, how could such an important matter be entrusted to him?He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "General Zhang, the last general will fight with father."

Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly, and said softly: "No, you must take on this task. After you go to see Deng Ai, if he agrees to accept our army's surrender, you can come back. But if Deng Ai disagrees If my family surrenders, and you insist on exterminating them, you should not come back, you can save your own life after all."

Zhang Cheng actually had such an intention!

Liulue's younger brother Liuping died in battle last night, and now only his flesh and blood is left in Liulue's family.If he died in battle here today, then it would be unprecedented for them to stay home.

Liu Lue couldn't help being moved in his heart, and immediately smacked Zhang Cheng three times.

Zhang Cheng accepted it calmly, and then ordered someone to bring the horse over and hand it over to Liu Lue.

Liu Lue then galloped out.

Not a moment later, Liu Lue finally met Deng Ai as an envoy.

Deng Ai's age is actually about the same as Liu Lue's, but he is born mature, so he looks much older than he actually is.

After listening to Zhang Cheng's meaning conveyed by Liulue, Deng Ai thought for a while and made a decision that was beyond Liulue's expectations.

Ordinary people will definitely accept the surrender of the enemy.Because in this way, one can show benevolence and righteousness; two can reduce one's own losses; three can use this to buy people's hearts.

But these are not what Deng Ai wants to consider now.What he is thinking more about now is to wipe out the power of the four major families in Wu County for Liu Chan at once. The army in Zhang Cheng's hands is formed by the four major families. If they are kept, it will be a big trouble in the future!
In addition, the son has always been worried that after Jiangdong falls into the hands of the Shu Han in the future, the four major families in Wujun will continue to control the situation in Jiangdong.Now is the perfect opportunity to eradicate them, absolutely impossible to let go.

Therefore, Deng Ai immediately refused to accept the surrender of the new army.His butcher's knife was about to be raised high again mercilessly.

At this moment, Liu Lue finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

Deng Ai was not moved.

Half an hour later, the entire Shu Han army launched a general attack on Zhang Cheng's new army.
