Great Wei Nengchen

Tell Zhang Lu again that my patience is limited. If you don't open the city and surrender before noon tomorrow, you will be at your own risk. Do you understand? "

"promise!"

Before capturing Akasaka City, he captured brothers Zhang Fu and Zhang Guang alive, and captured Zhang Wei when he broke through Yangping Pass. Xiao Yi didn't kill these three people. Sending them back to Nanzheng City now is considered a great sincerity!

Next, Jiang Gan took the three hostages into the city for the second negotiation. Before leaving, Xiao Yi personally toasted a glass of wine, because entering the city this time is quite dangerous. Once the negotiation completely breaks down, the envoy's head may fall to the ground. !

Jiang Gan drank the farewell wine and went to the negotiation without hesitation. The envoy also has the pride of the envoy. From the moment he assumes this position, he must be mentally prepared to go up the mountain of swords and down the frying pan!

Xiao Yi then returned to the tent of the central army, summoned the generals of all ministries, and immediately issued an order: "The whole army prepares for battle, and attack the city tomorrow!"

Different from other lords, Zhang Lu is a person who does not covet power or riches. He only thinks about Guang Daoist sect and enlightening the people of the world. His ability to give up the position of celestial master is the best proof.

But the more such a person is, the more determined his will will be, and he will never give up until he reaches his goal. Therefore, Jiang Gan's negotiation in the city this time will fail in all likelihood. Since the negotiation fails, the only way to attack the city is by force.

This is nothing, the game between the big forces is about fighting, talking, talking, fighting, and the strong attitude on the negotiating table is all played on the battlefield. If you still don't accept it, then continue to fight!

....................................

That night, Xiao Yi had a sweet dream, dreaming that he had returned to Crouching Tiger Mountain, returned to the Taoist temple, and saw the old Taoist master again, sitting cross-legged on the futon, his face was still so kind, and he was holding a silver coin in his hand. Dust...

"Master, this disciple has a firm mind and is not tempted by the world of mortals. He has preserved the inheritance of our small Taoist temple. All the glory, wealth, and power... are just floating clouds. You should praise this disciple, right?"

Just like all children, they have made a little achievement and showed off to their parents and teachers for the first time, so as to get rewards. This behavior has a name: slap!

"Wushouzi, you have been out of the mountain for more than 20 years. You can count the number of disciples in Chunyang Temple. You can count them with your fingers and toes. Don't hurry up and recruit more disciples. The Guangmen sect... Crack! Crack! Sloth, don't fight without strength!"

"No worries, follow the teacher's orders!"

In the middle of the night, Xiao Yi was sweating profusely, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, the master entrusted him with a dream to take in apprentices, but where would he go to take in apprentices, he couldn't walk around the camp and just pick one up at random, right?

Chapter 1502 Pure Yang Temple, Heavenly Master Way ([-])

Jian'an 15th Year - Autumn, September [-]th, sunny, breezy, white tiger on duty, benefit in the west!

"Boom! -boom! -boom!"

…………

In the early morning, after the war meal, Cao Ying 10,000's [-]+ troops dispatched to the sound of the thundering war drums, and slowly approached Nanzheng City. For a while, the people and horses were like a wave, the flags were like a sea, and the earth trembled up...

Different from the ordinary Sifang city, Nanzheng city was built according to the five elements and eight trigrams. It has eight walls and eight gates, which are divided into: life, death, shock, injury, Du, scene, rest, and opening. The city is both a formation and a formation. Since it is a city, there are endless changes in it, comparable to a hundred thousand elite soldiers!

Xiao Yi is also a disciple of Taoism, and he is also proficient in Yin-Yang and Five Elements. He decided to break through the formation, so he also divided the troops into eight teams:

Ma Liu commanded the Guanzhong soldiers to attack Zhengbei-Xiumen. This gate belongs to water, flourishes in winter, looks like autumn, rests in spring, and is imprisoned in summer... It is also an auspicious gate!

Daniu led the Mo Dao soldiers to attack the northwest-open the door, this door belongs to gold, and it is also the door of good luck!

Gao Shun led the camp and attacked the Northeast-Shengmen.

Huang Zhong and his son commanded the Danyang soldiers to attack Zhengdong-Shangmen.

The four beasts of hell lead the camp of evil ghosts and attack the southeast-Dumen.

Jiang Qi led the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou to attack Zhengnan-Jingmen.

Song Xian and Wei Xu commanded Luoyang soldiers and horses to attack Zhengxi-Jingmen.

Xiao Yi, his sons, and his apprentices led the rest of the troops to attack the Southwest Gate of Death. This gate belongs to the earth, and it is the gate of great evil. It is famous for hanging for funerals, torture and battles!

The Gate of Death is the most inauspicious, and it is also the most fortified part of Nanzheng City. The city wall is six feet higher and half a foot thicker than other places, and it is guarded by heavy soldiers, but Xiao Yi has to face the difficulties and personally command the battle here.

Besides, Digger Army, one of the elite of the army, is also on the battlefield, but they have another mission. Under the command of the chinchilla, they are... Hehe!

At 10,000 o'clock in the morning, all the armies had finished forming their formations, and all the siege equipment was in place. A white stone sundial was carried to the front of the formation, and a special person was there to observe the time. Just wait for the arrival of noon, Zhang Lu and others did not open the city and surrender. Two [-]+ The army attacked.

"Woo! ... Woo! Woo!"

However, judging from the situation, this battle must be fought, because above the city of Nanzheng, horns blared, armored soldiers were densely covered, and countless people shuttled through it, carrying a large number of rolling logs, thunderstones, soil ash, and oil pans... Also prepared to die.

Above the gate of death in the southwest, a large banner of yin, yang, sun and moon flutters in the wind, showing that Zhang Lu himself is sitting here. With this lair that has been in operation for decades, he will be wise and brave with the hundreds of thousands of congregants in the city and Xiao Yi again. Zhibo, let's see who wins?

Zhang Lu's two younger brothers, seven sons, and more than a hundred people from the clan also went into battle, defending each city gate separately. Don't dare to say that unity is unity, it can be unity!

"Why is Gongqi like this? The other party's offer is generous enough, and he is very sincere. If the fight continues, I'm afraid it won't end well?"

"For the great cause of being a master of heaven, I must take a risk, even if I lose my life!"

"One desperately wants to give way, the other refuses to accept it, both sides are strange people, this battle is inexplicable!"

…………

On the head of Nanzheng City, Zhang Lu was not wearing Taoist robes, but was wearing a Vajra battle helmet and a basalt armor. He was holding the Supreme Supreme Demon Slayer Sword. His usually gentle face was full of fortitude at this time!

Li Ru stood beside him with his hands behind his back, still wearing a golden mask, and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but he could feel from his tone that he was sighing and deeply puzzled.

In the view of this "spiritual calculation", with the defeat of Lecheng and the collapse of the defense lines of Qinling and Yangpingguan, Hanzhong Group's capital has become less and less, leaving only Nanzheng City and a few towns in the north of Berkshire. There are only [-] to [-] soldiers and horses in this city, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they can no longer compete with Cao Jun.

In addition, Yang Ren was killed in battle, Yang Ang was injured, and most of the other generals were also terrified and did not have the courage to fight. Alright, just wait to get out of the city and kneel down to ask for surrender!

In this case, Zhang Lu's best choice is to donate the land of Nanzheng City and the northern part of Berkshire, which can save the lives of his family and save the people from the pain of swordsmanship. Moreover, at the beginning of the war, Hanzhong The group has a plan of 'seeking peace through war'!

Besides, the conditions offered by Xiao Yi were quite generous, to protect the prosperity and wealth of the Zhang family, to protect the people of Hanzhong to live and work in peace and contentment, and to release Zhang Wei, Zhang Fu, and Zhang Guang back, showing enough sincerity!

Logically speaking, Zhang Lu should open the gates of the city, go to Cao Jun's camp to ask for surrender, and make an appointment with Xiao Yi by the way. Being Zhang's son-in-law is more than enough.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lu refused, and even burst out with rare courage to gather all the congregants in the city to fight Cao Jun again. The reason is even more amazing--the position of the celestial master!

The Celestial Master is the supreme leader of the Zhengyi League, commanding hundreds of thousands of congregants, possessing unparalleled prestige, and has always been hereditary by the Zhang family. Give it to Xiao Yi who has never met before!

What was even more unexpected was that Xiao Yi turned it down straight away, without any room for negotiation or accommodation. Didn't he know that sitting on the position of Celestial Master is equivalent to controlling the entire Hanzhong, and in the future, with the power of religion, he can still be a dragon? Fly nine five?

"Don't blame Brother Yu for being so wordy, it's a matter of life and death, brother, let's think about it, we've lost this battle, of course it's a catastrophe!

Conversely, victory may not be a good thing, it may be worse than defeat. The overall situation in Hanzhong is irreversible, so why take this risk, it is better to push the boat along... Sigh! "

Knowing that Zhang Lu is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, Li Ru still can't help dissuading him, because once the battle starts today, if you lose, you will lose, and if you win, you will lose!

The reason is very simple: Needless to say, if you are defeated, Cao Jun won Nanzheng City in one fell swoop, and all the favorable conditions before will disappear. Perhaps in order to stabilize people's hearts, they dare not harm the members of the Zhang clan at the moment, but it will be difficult to say in the future. House arrest, exile...

If we win this battle, the situation will be even worse. Although Nanzheng City is besieged, the internal and external news has not been cut off, and we also know that Cao Cao is seriously ill and that Liu Bei entered Sichuan!

If because of Nanzheng City, Xiao Yi's hands and feet were held back, allowing Liu Bei to enter Chengdu calmly and become the lord of Bashu, the situation in the Southwest War would be unpredictable. How could Xiao Yi not hold grudges, and the door to peace negotiations might be closed!

Besides, on the battlefield, swords have no eyes. If Xiao Yi's son, apprentice, or favorite general is injured in the process of fighting, with his ruthless character, let alone the Zhang clan, bloodbath will be wiped out Nanzheng City It's all possible!

"Brother, there is no need to persuade me anymore, today's battle is not for glory and wealth, nor for fame and fortune, but for the rise and fall of Taoism!
