After listening to Jiao Yang's words, Zhang Ren fell into a long silence.

With his superb martial arts skills and the dream of becoming famous in the world, Zhang Ren came to Yizhou and defected to Liu Yan.

He was once full of passion and fantasized more than once that one day, he would be able to dominate the world with the spear in his hand.

However, contrary to expectations, the cruel reality finally slapped Zhang Ren hard in the face.

Zhang Ren came to Yizhou for many years and spent all his time and energy on the barbarians.

Unfortunately, in the end, Zhang Ren not only failed to deal with the barbarians, but also obeyed Liu Yan's order and apologized to the Manchus.

Thinking of the junior disciples here who came out of the mountain late and were already famous all over the world, and thinking of the years he wasted, Zhang Ren couldn't help feeling sad and let out a long sigh.

Jiao Yang had been paying close attention to Zhang Ren. When he saw Zhang Ren let out a long sigh, Jiao Yang smiled slightly and quickly took a step forward and said: "General Zhang, you are serving under Liu Yan, so your pearls are really covered with dust. As the saying goes, a good person is in the dust. A bird chooses a tree to roost on, I wonder if General Zhang has ever thought about leaving Liu Yan, choosing another Ming master, and establishing immortal merits."

Zhang Ren reacted immediately when he heard what Jiao Yang said.

"Did Wei Chu send you as a lobbyist? Does Wei Chu think that I will be like Wang Yi and Wang Gu, who can easily commit betrayal?"

"Although I, Zhang Ren, am not a sage, I know how to write the word loyalty and righteousness."

Being directly rejected by Zhang Ren, Jiao Yang didn't panic at all.

He glanced at Zhang Ren and whispered: "General Zhang, you know how to write the word loyalty, but you don't know what it means."

Before Zhang Ren could get angry, Jiao Yang said from the side: "Loyalty should be loyal to the people of the Han Dynasty and to the emperor of Luoyang. Not to Liu Yan."

"When you talk about loyalty, you should talk about loyalty to the people of the Han Dynasty, not just to Liu Yan."

"If you are only loyal to Liu Yan, it is foolish loyalty. If you are only loyal to Liu Yan, it is small righteousness, not great righteousness."

After listening to Jiao Yang's words, Zhang Ren snorted immediately.

"Is Wei Chu really loyal to the emperor?"

Looking at Wei Chu, on the surface Wei Chu was loyal to the emperor and the Han Dynasty. And he won the trust of the emperor and the general He Jin.

But smart people will know at a glance that Wei Chu is also an ambitious person. When the time is right, Wei Chu will definitely become the second usurper Wang Mang.

"My general is at least loyal to the people. The people under my general's rule will not go hungry, and will not be harassed by foreigners outside the Great Wall. On the other hand, Yizhou has not experienced war yet, and the people under his rule are at least Half of them will starve, and I don’t know how many people will starve to death every year. Not only that, the people of Yizhou are often harassed by barbarians.”

"General Zhang, you and I are both soldiers. We are supported by the people's food and money. If we can't protect the people, what kind of soldiers are we? If we can't even be considered soldiers, how can we talk about loyalty?"

As soon as Jiao Yang finished speaking, Zhang Ren drew out his long sword and pointed it at Jiao Yang's throat.

"Believe it or not, you angered me, and I will stab you to death with a sword right now."

Facing the sharp sword so close at hand, Jiao Yang didn't panic at all.

"General Zhang, if I give you a long spear and a fast horse, and you and I fight on horseback, I may not be able to defeat you. But if you and I fight on foot at close range, I have every advantage. I'll defeat you with certainty. So, don't scare me with your sword."

Jiao Yang walked aside and calmly poured himself a glass of water.

He is really not afraid of Zhang Ren.

After all, Jiao Yang is also someone who has taken Dali Pill and Dacheng Shendan.

He can lift a thousand pounds and is good at using any weapons.

Jiao Yang is confident of defeating Zhang Ren.

"General Zhang, my general couldn't bear to see the people of Yizhou displaced because of the war. He didn't want to see the senior brother whom General Zhao admired die under the sword of our army, so he sent me to find you."

"Please recognize the reality clearly. The purpose of my coming here is not because our army is afraid that you and Liu Yan will join forces to counterattack Chengdu."

Without waiting for Zhang Ren to answer, Jiao Yang continued: "Three thousand white horse Yi Cong and five thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry are fighting outside the city. The eight thousand cavalry can at least block or even directly destroy the [-] infantry."

"Twenty thousand religious guards, as well as soldiers and horses in the hands of Generals Wang Yi and Wang Gu, are stationed in Chengdu. At least they can easily block the attack of an army of [-]."

"If the war goes against our side, we can also mobilize at least [-] Liangzhou cavalry from Liangzhou at any time. The [-] Liangzhou cavalry will enter Yizhou and cooperate with the defenders in Chengdu. How does General Zhang think you should respond? "

"You can't handle it. You won't have any chance of winning this battle."

After listening to Jiao Yang's words, Zhang Ren frowned and closed his mouth.

As Jiao Yang said, after Wei Chu occupied Chengdu, he had a huge advantage over Liu Yan.

Liu Yan was completely at a disadvantage, and trying to counterattack Chengdu was tantamount to wishful thinking.

"Of course, Liu Yan will most likely borrow the power of the barbarians. Suppose you can let [-] barbarians join the battle. But I want to ask General Zhang, if you have [-] more barbarians, you will be sure to win the city of Chengdu. ?"

"To take a step back, let's say you capture the city of Chengdu. Can you control the [-] barbarians in time? If the [-] barbarians rush into Chengdu, the city will probably be reduced to rubble by the barbarians and turn into a hell on earth."

"General Zhang, for Liu Yan's sake, are you willing to let the entire people of Chengdu be buried with Liu Yan's ambition?"

After Jiao Yang finished speaking, Zhang Ren sighed and took back the long sword in his hand.

"Although I don't really like the way you talk, I have to say that you really convinced me."

"You can go back and tell Wei Chu now that I will not participate in the next war between him and Liu Yan. I will continue to be stationed in the south of Yizhou and prevent the barbarians from crossing the Leichi."

"it is good!"

Jiao Yang nodded to Zhang Ren and said: "My general knows that General Zhang will make a wise choice, so General Wei said it before I came here. If General Zhang does not intervene in the next battle, He will have a gift for General Zhang afterwards.”

Hearing Jiao Yang's words, Zhang Ren became interested.

"I wonder what gift General Wei is going to give me. Is it a beauty or money?"

Jiao Yang smiled and waved his hand, "Beauty and money are just mundane things. How can a hero like General Zhang be interested in these mundane things."

"My general has said that after the situation in Yizhou stabilizes, he will personally lead his troops south to join General Zhang. Together, we will work together to completely solve the big problem of the barbarians."

"To completely solve the barbarian problem is a gift from my general to General Zhang."
