"Clang!" Zhao Yun hit Zhang Weihu with a blow and his face was horrified.

On Yang Ren and Yang Ang’s side, they besieged Guan Yu, but they were defeated by Guan Yu in just a few dozen rounds and had to flee.

Without Yang Ren, Yang Ang and Zhang Wei, the army of Zhang Lu was even more chaotic. The soldiers fled everywhere and were defeated like a mountain of defeat.

The army of 20,000 Zhang Lu was beheaded thousands and captured more than ten thousand, and only a few hundred were accompanied by Yang Ren, Yang Ang and Zhang Wei. This was the result of Liu Yu's intentional reluctance. If it were not for the final surrender of Zhang Lu, Yang Ren and others would become generals under his command by then, and Yang Ren and others would never have the chance to escape.

The three of them also knew that Liu Yu intended to spare their lives, especially Yang Ren and Yang Ang. They knew that when they fought with Guan Yu, Guan Yu had the opportunity to kill them, but they let them go. Now that Liu Yu let them go again, they could not help but feel a little grateful in their hearts, which was also the reason why they were loyal to Liu Yu after surrendering to Liu Yu in the future.

However, although Zhang Wei knew it in his heart, he did not want to admit it at all.

The three of them fled back to Hanzhong County and reported to Zhang Lu.

When Zhang Lu heard of the crushing defeat, the 20,000 troops were all destroyed and sat down.

"The 20,000 army will be gone in just three days? Could it be that Liu Yu is so powerful that I can't defend Hanzhong!" Zhang Lu couldn't believe it, and he felt even more desperate.

Yang Ren and Yang Ang looked depressed. Liu Yu had spared their lives twice. What else could they say? Do they still have the courage to continue leading troops to resist Liu Yu?

Zhang Wei said anxiously: "Brother, why should we be more ambitious and destroy our own prestige? We still have more than 10,000 soldiers and nearly 10,000 prisoners from Liu Zhang's army. They are not good at fighting, but there is no problem in defending the city. There are only 20,000 soldiers, and there are still tens of thousands of people in Hanzhong County. We can organize them to participate in defending the city and we will definitely be able to defend it."

Zhang Lu sighed and said, "Now we can only take one step at a time."

Two days later, Liu Yu's army arrived at the city of Hanzhong County.

Zhang Lu stood on the city wall, and he looked at the army of Liu Yu with tens of thousands of high morale and strict military appearance below. He said with great pressure: "Just looking at this army, Liu Yu is indeed not comparable to Liu Zhang. I am not afraid of Liu Zhang's army, but I am afraid it is hard to compete with Liu Yu."

Liu Yu rode out and faced Zhang Lu on the city wall.

Zhang Lu asked Liu Yu loudly: "Shimin has no grudges or grudges with me, why did he attack me?"

Liu Yu replied: "It is a great chaos today, and the princes are competing for the desolation. I, Liu Yu, are a relative of the Han Dynasty. I am determined to support the Han Dynasty. Hanzhong has the key land and should be in my hands. Why did Lu Gong think Yu attack you?"

In fact, in a word, to put it bluntly, it means expanding territory and enhancing its strength, but Liu Yu is even more righteous.

Liu Yu continued: "Now that my army is coming to the city, Duke Lu has been defeated in a miserable situation, losing 20,000 troops, and is not my opponent. Thinking that Duke Lu has been in Hanzhong for several years and has not acted to harm the people, I want to surrender Duke Lu and seek great achievements. I heard that Duke Lu has a sister named ‘Magnolia’. My second brother Guan Yu has not yet married, so I can hire Duke Lu’s sister. From then on, my brother and Duke Lu become intimate and close as a family."

Liu Yu had known this woman Zhang Yulan for a long time. She had an extraordinary appearance and a gentle temperament. She was just right for Guan Yu. He also asked Guan Yu about his opinion in advance. Guan Yu did not object, and he really should get married, so Liu Yu's proposal was made.

Zhang Lu thought and said, "But Guan Yu who killed Hua Xiong?"

"Yes, it's my second brother." Liu Yu replied: "However, just Hua Xiong is not enough to show the courage of my second brother. My third brother Zhao Yun fought against Lu Bu for 500 rounds, and my second brother was not as brave as my third brother. Yang Ren, the general under Duke of Lu, only lasted for more than twenty rounds in my second brother."

Zhang Lu was really moved now, and Liu Yu looked really sincere.

Zhang Lu's brother Zhang Wei saw Zhang Lu's heart-warming appearance, but he didn't want Zhang Lu to surrender to Liu Yu, because in that case, Hanzhong would no longer belong to their Zhang family. They suddenly became subordinates of others from one vassal, and the gap was huge.

Zhang Wei immediately said anxiously: "Brother, don't surrender. The city in Hanzhong is strong. If Liu Yu cannot defeat him, there is no need to join him!"

Zhang Lu glanced at his younger brother Zhang Wei and smiled bitterly.

Zhang Wei was anxious, and he advised again: "Brother, have you forgotten your mother's great revenge? Liu Yu and Liu Zhang are relatives of the Han Dynasty. If you surrender, we will lose Hanzhong and have no strength to seek revenge on Liu Zhang. And if Liu Zhang asked Liu Yu to kill us, would Liu Yu betray us to make friends with Liu Zhang?"

"This..." Zhang Lu was indeed hesitant when he heard his younger brother Zhang Wei say this.

Under the city, Liu Yu saw that Zhang Lu had not replied for a long time, and his voice became colder, and he shouted: "Duke Lu, do you think that I, Liu Yu, have no sincerity? In the previous battle, I had the opportunity to kill three of your generals, but I ordered them to spare their lives. Why is it? It is all for Duke Lu. If Duke Lu has any concerns, he can raise it now, and Yu must not refuse. If Duke Lu really regards Yu as sincerity as nothing, and still insists on not surrendering, Yu can only attack the city. By then, the city gate will be broken and the creatures will be blamed for Duke Lu's fault."

Zhang Lu was shocked and immediately said: "Shimin does not worry, I am willing to surrender, but there are several promises that Shimin needs to guarantee in public."

"Brother, you can't surrender." Zhang Wei said loudly to Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu looked at Zhang Wei and sighed, "My brother, it's easy to say, but my Hanzhong County City is not a city that can be defended into a Hanzhong area. We can defend the Hanzhong County City to the death, but Liu Yu can also first attack other counties outside the Hanzhong County City. In the end, only Hanzhong County City is an isolated city. Can we stop Liu Yu's attack? Take a step back and say that Liu Yu doesn't have to attack the city at all, just besiege. How long can the food and grass in the Hanzhong County City eat? One year or two years? What's the point? I think Liu Yu is very sincere. If he can give us some guarantees, he will surrender him and avoid the disaster in the city."

Zhang Wei didn't want to hear it, he just shouted loudly again: "Brother, you can't surrender."

However, Zhang Lu ignored Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei shook his sleeves in dismay and stopped talking.

At the city, Liu Yu heard Zhang Lu's surrender, and he smiled and said, "What do you say to Mr. Lu? You can say it. Yu Ding will do his best to guarantee Mr. Lu."

Zhang Lu nodded and said, "I have a grudge against Liu Zhang, Yizhou, to kill his mother. You need to make sure that you cannot hand me over to Liu Zhang anyway."

Even if Zhang Lu doesn't say anything, Liu Yu would not be able to hand over the surrendered Zhang Lu to Liu Zhang. If that's the case, wouldn't his reputation be ruined? Who would dare to surrender to him in the future? Then he said: "I promise you this. Even if Duke Lu surrenders to me, he may not have no chance to take revenge in the future."

Zhang Lu's heart was shocked. Liu Yu's words implied something else. Could it be that Liu Yu also intended to be in the middle of Shu in Yizhou? If this were the case, Liu Yu would definitely not be good to Liu Zhang in the future. It might not be possible to avenge Liu Yu's ability or really kill his mother. He became more and more willing to surrender Liu Yu in this way.

Zhang Lu continued: "Second, I hope the people of the world will treat the people of Hanzhong well..."

Zhang Lu made four requests in succession, and Liu Yu agreed.

"Tell me the order, open the city gate and welcome Shimin into the city." Zhang Lu breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the city gate to open the city gate and welcome Liu Yu's army into the city, officially surrendered to Liu Yu, and the land in Hanzhong will all return to Liu Yu's territory.
