Chapter 102: Taking a Nosedive

Zhang Lang commanded hundreds of hussars and rushed into the governor's mansion. At this time, the governor's mansion was in chaos, with maids and servants running around the courtyard like headless flies.

An officer grabbed a servant who was running over in a panic and asked: "Where is Liu Zhang?" The servant suddenly saw the formation in front of him and was frightened. His legs were trembling and he was speechless. The officer raised his knife.

Putting it on his neck, he threatened fiercely: "Speak quickly! If you don't tell me, I'll kill you!"

The servant's legs gave way and he knelt on the ground, "General, General, spare your life! Lord Governor, he has escaped!"

Zhang Lang frowned.

The officer asked again: "Where did he escape to?"

"No, I don't know!" Pointing to the back door, "Just now, I just escaped through the back door!"

Zhang Lang immediately ordered a team of hussars to search the governor's mansion, and he personally commanded another team of hussars to drive them out of the back door. However, when they came out of the back door, they saw only an empty street with no one there. Zhang Lang led people to search around

After several attempts, there was still no trace of Liu Zhang, so he temporarily returned to the Governor's Mansion.

"General, our army has taken control of the entire city. Except for a few of Liu Zhang's troops who escaped from the city before we captured the city gate, all the rest have surrendered!" Pang De reported excitedly.

Zhang Lang nodded and frowned: "But we didn't catch Liu Zhang!"

Pang De was stunned, "Liu Zhang escaped?"

Zhang Lang thought for a moment and touched his chin out of habit, "Liu Zhang should still be in the city!"

Pang De said hurriedly: "I will lead the whole city to search immediately!" He said before leaving.

"Wait a moment."

Pound turned around and said, "General, what other orders do you have?"

Zhang Lang stepped down from the seat and said, "We have just captured Chengdu and people's hearts are unstable. Searching the whole city at this time will only make the people more fearful and uneasy! It is not conducive to our foothold in Sichuan. There is no need to do this for Liu Zhang!" After a pause, "

Close the gates of the city and no one is allowed to enter or exit without my order. Notices for the safety of the people are posted everywhere, and military discipline is strictly enforced. Anyone who dares to harass the people will be dealt with according to military law! In addition, open the official warehouses and help the poor people in this city!"

"No!" Pound turned around and hurriedly left the lobby.

General Xiao Long hurried in, clasped his fists and said, "General, we found many women when we searched the government office. We don't know how to deal with them?"

Zhang Lang was stunned, "What woman? How many are there?"

"They are all singers, dancers, and female musicians. I'm afraid there are more than a hundred people!"

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "I understand! These are the beauties Liu Zhang collected from all over the country. I have long heard that Liu Zhang is very good at this!"

"General, how should we deal with them?"

"It's a small matter, just let them go!"

"No." Xiao Long left.

Soon after, Pang De came back. At this time, Zhang Lang was explaining the matter to Yang Kun and the second general Sanglou.

"Lord," Pang De said, cupping his fists.

Zhang Lang nodded towards Pang De and asked Sang Lou and Yang Kun: "Do you understand everything I told you?" "I understand! When the general is away, the two of us will strictly guard the city!"

Pound asked in confusion: "Where is the general going?"

Zhang Lang glanced at him and said, "Follow me."



Zhang Ren stormed Jiange for several days without making any progress. Instead, he paid a heavy price. The vigor of the army weakened and the war was at a loss.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Ren was still lying on the map and thinking hard. The natural barrier of Jiange was originally supposed to be a great barrier to block the enemy, but now it has become the biggest obstacle on the way forward! Lu Bu's army is extremely powerful. After a few days, our soldiers

The morale of the enemy has weakened a lot, but the other party's affairs are still as high as ever, the morale is like a rainbow, and the fighting spirit is high!

Zhang Ren murmured: "It is really difficult for our family to win. It would be great if Yuan Shao sent troops."

There was a sudden noise outside the big tent. Zhang Ren, who was already in a bad mood, frowned and asked, "What's going on outside?"

The tent was opened, and a general who was in tatters, covered in blood, and in a state of embarrassment rushed in and called out sadly: "General Zhang!"

Zhang Ren recognized him and said in shock: "Lei Tong? Aren't you guarding Chengdu? Why are you here?"

Lei Tong cried: "Lü Bu's army has captured Chengdu! My lord's whereabouts are unknown!"

Zhang Ren felt like a bolt from the blue, and it took him a long time to recover. He grabbed Lei Tong's lapel, lifted him up, and asked urgently: "What did you say?"

Lei Tong said dejectedly: "Two days ago, Lu Bu's army captured Chengdu, and I finally managed to break out of the siege and escape here!"

"How is this possible? Could it be that Lu Bu's army flew over? Aren't all Lu Bu's troops in front of me?"

Lei Tong shook his head, "There are only tens of thousands of Lu Bu's troops in Jiange! Lu Bu personally led the army to sneak across the Yinping Trail and suddenly appeared on the Minjiang River. Our army was caught off guard. Lu Bu's army moved south with lightning speed, and finally came to the gate of Chengdu City.

!That night, Lu Bu's army invaded Chengdu, our army was completely wiped out, and the whereabouts of my lord was unknown!" Lei Tong's voice was extremely sad, and tears rolled down his face.

Zhang Ren frowned, a little at a loss. "No! Even so, the city of Chengdu is high and the river is wide, and there are 50,000 soldiers guarding it. Even if Lu Bu's army is all tigers and wolves, there is no reason to capture Chengdu in one day!"

Lei Tong described the situation at that time in detail.

Zhang Ren was very angry and kicked the desk, "Damn it!"

"General Zhang, the matter has come to this, what should we do?"

Zhang Ren calmed down and said, "For the present plan, we can only return to the army to retake Chengdu first!" He raised his head and called out in a loud voice: "Here comes someone."

A soldier rushed into the tent and said, "General."

"Call the generals immediately!" "No."



After the accounts were dismissed, the generals returned to their respective military camps with heavy hearts. Yang Ren and Yang Ang returned to their tents and sat down respectively. Yang Ang frowned and said, "I didn't expect that things would turn out like this?"

Yang Rendao: "Lu Bu has now occupied Chengdu, and the war in Hanzhong is probably over now! If that army comes over, our situation will be even worse!"

Yang Ang frowned and nodded.

At this moment, a soldier came in and reported: "To report to the two generals, a scribe came outside. He said that he was a fellow countryman of the two generals and that he had important matters to see the two generals."

The two looked at each other, and Yang Ren frowned and said: "Fellow countryman? Who are our countrymen in Xichuan?" He said to the soldiers: "Drive him away."

"Wait a minute. It doesn't hurt to meet this person." Yang Ang said, and then said to the soldiers: "Go and bring him in."

The soldier promised, left, and a moment later came in with a scribe covered in a black cloak.

The two generals felt that this man's figure looked familiar and were surprised.

After the soldiers retreated, the man took off his hood.
