Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun both studied under Tong Yuan, but Zhao Yun was a closed disciple whom Tong Yuan accepted in his later years. At that time, Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu, two senior brothers, had already gone down the mountain to become famous. Later, Zhang Ren returned to Shu to serve as a disciple.

Although he was an official, Zhao Yun was active in the Youzhou area, and the brothers and sisters had not met him.

Unexpectedly, when they met for the first time, they were each in conflict with each other.

Zhang Ren discussed with Liu Xun and Huang Quan: "The storehouses in the city are exhausted, and the enemy troops are surrounding us without attacking. Our army is in danger if it goes on for a long time, so it is better to open the city and fight to the death with them."

Huang Quan said worriedly: "I'm afraid the enemy has already discovered the current situation in the city and is waiting for us to fight."

Liu Xundao: "It is better for a man to live towards death than to wait for death in this city."

Huang Quan said: "In that case, Quan is willing to fight to the death with the two generals to break out of the encirclement."

When Zhao Yun heard that Zhang Ren had left the city to break out of the siege, he had already lined up his battle array.

When Zhang Ren came out of the battle, Zhao Yun leaned forward and said, "I've heard for a long time that my senior brother is extraordinary. To see him today is a great comfort to my whole life."

"Hmph!" Zhang Ren sneered: "You and I are our own masters today, do you dare to fight with me?"

Zhao Yundao: "Junior brother is not good at studying, I still hope he can give me advice."

Lei Tong, who surrendered after being captured alive by Zhao Yun in three rounds, muttered beside him: "You are really humble."

Zhang Ren didn't even answer, but he rode out with his gun drawn, and the soldiers from both sides beat drums to help.

But seeing Zhao Yun's momentum like a rainbow, his spear like a dragon, and the world shaking. In just one move, Zhang Ren realized the power of his so-called junior brother.

As the most powerful general in Sichuan, Zhang Ren's marksmanship is no less impressive.

The first competition between brothers is a matter of victory and defeat, as well as life and death.

The two fought for fifty rounds with no outcome in sight. Zhao Yun's marksmanship changed and he used the "Snake Pan Seven Exploration Spear".

Zhang Ren didn't get used to it for a while, so he feinted a shot, then took the opportunity to rein in his horse and take a few steps back.

"Good marksmanship!" Zhang Ren praised, but then he came back to kill again.

Facing Zhang Ren's all-out attack, Zhao Yun's marksmanship remained intact. He saw the snake spread its wings and stab Zuo Zhan, and the white python turned over and jumped in his face. After another thirty rounds of fighting, Zhang Ren gradually fell behind and could only barely parry.

When Huang Quan of the Shu army saw this situation, he was afraid that Zhang Ren would be in trouble, so he offered money to withdraw his troops and make further plans.

After Zhang Ren returned to the battle, he couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that Zhao Zilong has gained a new understanding based on the master's original marksmanship. I am not as good as me."

But he said that Li Qi's army was approaching Guanghan, and the governor of Guanghan was Zhang Su, Zhang Song's brother.

In the past, Zhang Su paid an audience to Cao Cao on Liu Zhang's order, and Cao Cao made him the governor of Guanghan.

Guanghan belongs to the territory of Yizhou, so Zhang Su is actually controlled by Liu Zhang, but is only nominally appointed by the imperial court, which is more legitimate.

Li Qi led his troops to the gates of Guanghan City and said to Zhang Su: "Liu Zhang has not paid tribute to the court for many years. Cao Sikong specially ordered me to raise troops to punish him. Since I am the prefect of Guanghan appointed by Cao Sikong, I can quickly open the city gate and jointly accuse Liu Zhang. Why is it necessary?"

What about going against the imperial court?"

Zhang Su said: "Everyone knows that you are the son of Li Quan. Now you are causing trouble in Xichuan. You are actually trying to avenge your father. How can you raise an army to investigate the crime?"

It was so cool now that Li Qi didn't have to explain whether he was Li Quan's son or not. He raised an army to take revenge, and the whole world had already recognized that Li Quan had such a good son like him.

Li Qi thought to himself and said: "If Governor Zhang has made a contribution to the city, I will recommend him to Cao Sikong. If you resist the imperial court and destroy the city in a short time, your life will be at stake!"

Zhuge Liang gave Li Qi a strange look and said to himself that Li Qi had an ordinary strategy but was very thick-skinned.

Cao Cao used the emperor to command the princes, and Li Qi used Cao Cao to command the governor.

Zhang Su is timid, otherwise he would not report his biological brother in another time and space.

After hearing what Li Qi said, Zhang Su said: "I am not afraid of your soldiers and horses, I just want to prove that I am loyal to the court and my loyalty can be learned. Come, open the door."

Zhuge Liang: "???"

Gan Ning: "???"

After Li Qi entered the city, he comforted Zhang Su and said, "You have performed very well. I will write a book when I have time to explain your contribution to Sikong."

Cao Cao, who was far away in Xudu, sneezed. He now had to build fortifications to pacify Hebei and build schools. He must have been a little nervous recently and had a cold.

Of course, Cao Cao had already received the information about Li Qi's invasion of Xichuan, and he had no illusions about this guy from the bottom of his heart.

I just didn’t expect that he, a mere prefect of Xicheng, could occupy half of Xichuan? Where did this guy come from? It seems that he didn’t have a role in the wine-dating discussions about heroes back then!

Cao Cao ordered his confidants to take over the posts of governors of Xicheng and Shangyong, and taught them how to use horses and soldiers to prepare for attacking Xichuan and annihilating Li Qi. However, in the end, this could only be an attitude shown by Cao Cao to the outside world, which meant that Li Qi was not

My people, you don’t need to worry about me at all. You can fight and kill whenever you want.

In fact, it is no longer realistic for Cao Cao to send troops to attack Li Qi himself.

Because Xicheng and Shangyong have basically been taken out by Li Qi, if we want to send troops to Xichuan now, we can only mobilize troops from Chang'an to the three eastern counties, and then enter Shu via Daba Mountain. However, this plan was quickly rejected by Cao Cao and his internal staff.

Well, because of Xiliang Ma Teng, Han Sui has been keeping an eye on Chang'an. How dare he move around Chang'an?

Li Qi's disaster can only be solved by Liu Zhang himself for the time being.

Zitong.

Zhang Renzheng was escorting a soldier to the prison.

Because the army was running out of food, the corps commander actually began to rob the residents of the city of food. Zhang Ren, who had strict military discipline, believed that this matter must be dealt with seriously, otherwise public dissatisfaction broke out in the city and Zitong would not be able to defend it.

After discussing with Liu Xun and Huang Quan, Zhang Ren executed the perpetrators and issued a proclamation to calm the people.

While dealing with this matter, Zhang Ren suddenly came up with a plan and called Liu Xun. Huang Quan said: "We can send a clever soldier to disguise himself as the people in the city and go to the enemy camp. Let's say that the Shu soldiers are robbing food. The people in the city are filled with resentment.

We are willing to make an appointment with the general to cooperate inside and outside the city. At that time, we will open the city gate and let Zhao Yun's troops enter the city, but we will ambush the crossbowmen around the city walls and shoot them dead."

Liu Xun and Huang Quan both agreed with Zhang Ren's plan, so they chose a soldier to disguise himself as a commoner and sneak out of the city gate at night and go straight to Zhao Yun's camp.

After hearing what the "common people" said about the city, Zhao Yun ordered his soldiers to arrange food and hospitality for them.

Later, Zhao Yun asked Deng Zhi alone: ​​"What do Bo Miao think?"

Deng Zhi said: "Zhang Ren is a famous general in Shu. He is brave and capable. I see that the man just now is articulate and has bright eyes. He does not look like an ordinary person. Generals should be cautious."

Zhao Yun believed that what Deng Zhi said was reasonable. After all, in the war-torn times, the spiritual temperament of those who had gone to the battlefield and killed the enemy could be distinguished at a glance.

Just when I didn't know how to deal with it, a messenger suddenly delivered a letter written by Li Qi.

Zhao Yun opened the letter and read it, and kept calling for clever ideas.

After discussing with Deng Zhi, Zhao Yun called the "people" and said, "Without further delay, we have agreed to enter the city tomorrow night. You can go back and prepare."

The "common people" returned to the city and told Zhang Ren everything Zhao Yun had said. Zhang Ren was overjoyed and started arranging ambushes, crossbowmen, etc.

However, on the second night, Zhao Yun did not enter the city as agreed.

Zhang Ren sent people to investigate, but received news that Zhao Yun had withdrawn his troops fifty miles to the southwest and went to the stronghold.

This time Zhang Renzheng was confused.
