    That night, the banquet was set, and Liu Bei led his civil and military officers to the banquet.  Liu Zhang and Liu Bei sat down separately as guest and host, and talked to each other in detail, and they were very close to each other.  When the wine was half drunk, Liu Huang, Ling Bao, and Deng Xian each looked at each other, and Leng Bao drew his sword and entered.

    "There is no joy in the banquet, but sword dancing is a show. Bojun smiles!"

    At the same time, Liu Huang called all the warriors in and lined them up in the hall, waiting for Leng Bao to take action.  Liu Bei's generals saw Leng Bao dancing with his sword before the banquet, and also saw the warriors on the steps holding their sword targets and looking directly into the hall.  Kuai Liang was shocked and quickly signaled to Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong was stunned and also drew his sword and danced.

    "You must have a right sword to dance with. I would like to dance with General Leng."

    As soon as Huang Zhong finished speaking, he stepped out. Leng Bao saw that Huang Zhong was old and laughed at him for not overestimating his abilities.  Unexpectedly, after the two danced together for several times, Leng Bao realized that Huang Zhong was powerful. His arms were paralyzed by the force of Huang Zhong's sword and it was difficult to exert force.  Leng Bao looked at Liu Xu anxiously. Liu Xu stood up angrily and drew his sword to help him dance.  Huang Zhong fought hard against the two of them, his swordsmanship was powerful and not messy. On the contrary, Leng Bao and Liu Sui were beaten by Huang Zhong until they secretly complained in agony.

    Seeing that the situation was not good, Deng Xian immediately grabbed the wine glass and prepared to smash it down.  At this moment, Hua Xiong and Tai Shi Ci each drew their swords and shouted.

    "I'll be a group dancer to help you laugh."

    Hua Xiong and Tai Shici exuded great momentum, approaching the generals of Xichuan. Hua Xiong even stepped closer to Deng Xian, with murderous eyes, frightening Deng Xian out of his mind.

    Kuai Liang quickly glanced at Liu Bei.  Liu Bei understood in his heart, pretending to be shocked, hurriedly grabbed the swords he wore on his left and right sides, stood on the table and shouted sternly.

    "There is no doubt that we brothers will drink heavily when we meet. It's not like the Hongmen Banquet, when Emperor Gaozu met with Xiang Ji, why use the sword dance? Anyone who doesn't abandon the sword will be beheaded immediately!"

    Liu Zhang was blinded by the cold light from Liu Bei's sword, and then he realized what he was doing and yelled sharply.

    ¡°Brothers get together and flesh and blood blend together, why do we need a murderous weapon!?¡±

    Liu Zhang then ordered all the guards to wear swords. He also offered wine to the three generals Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, and Hua Xiong, and said softly to comfort them.

    "My brothers are of the same ancestry, and we discuss important matters together without any ambiguity. Don't doubt me."

    The three generals looked cold and did not pick them up.  Liu Bei glanced urgently, and the three generals just accepted and thanked him.  Liu Zhang then took Liu Bei's hand and said.

    "The Han Dynasty is lonely. My brothers and I are the closest relatives in the world. I will never let you down. The sun and the moon can teach you this. I hope you won't worry about what happened today."

    Although Liu Bei had resentment in his heart, he lied.

    "I don't know what I am doing to Bei. Moreover, the generals are only interested in adding to the fun and have no intention of harming Bei. How can Bei care about it?"

    Liu Zhang saw that Liu Bei had no complaints and sighed at his broad-mindedness. The two drank happily until late and dispersed.  After the banquet was over, Liu Zhang naturally couldn't help but scold Liu Huang, Lingbao and Deng Xian.  I only say this once, if you dare to murder Liu Bei again, you will be killed!  Liu Huang, Lingbao, and Deng Xian resigned and left. All three of them harbored resentment toward Liu Zhang, regardless of whether he was loyal or traitorous.

    But when Liu Bei returned to the library, Wenpin frowned and remonstrated.

    "General, did you see the scene at the banquet today? Why not return to Jingzhou as soon as possible to avoid future troubles."

    Liu Bei was still frightened when he thought of what happened today, but when he thought of the current situation, if he did not seize Yizhou at this time, there would be no chance, so he shook his head and refused to say anything.

    "General Wen, don't worry. My brother Liu Jiyu trusts me deeply and will never bear to harm each other."

    Liu Feng, who was on the side, listened to the words and also gave advice.

    "My adoptive father must not be careless. Although Liu Jiyu has no such intention, I think everyone under him wants his adopted father! If he is not eliminated, how can he feel at ease?"

    When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes were cold, and he began to plot to kill Liu Guan, Lingbao, and Deng Xian.  Afterwards, I discussed it with Kuai Liang for a while, but the time has not come yet, so I put it on hold.

    The next day, an urgent report came from Chengdu, saying that the commander-in-chief Zhang Ren was defeated by Wenhan's army one after another and lost Anhan and Wakou Pass. The 50,000 troops in Dongchuan were almost wiped out and were retreating to Jiameng Pass.  The northwest army is unstoppable and has regained 80% of the counties in Dongchuan. It is consolidating its army and preparing to attack Jiameng Pass and invade the border of Xichuan!

    Liu Zhang was shocked when he heard the report, his face was ashen, Jiameng Pass is the gateway to Yizhou, if it is lost, Yizhou will not be protected day and night!  Liu Zhang was also annoyed that Zhang Ren was incompetent and lost Dongchuan, resulting in Yizhou's current crisis.

    "Zhang Guyi is really incompetent. Now that he has lost all his troops, he still doesn't want to die, and he still sends people to ask for help!"

    After Liu Zhang finished drinking, he wanted to order Zhang Ren to be imprisoned and take away his position as commander.  After Liu Bei heard this, he quickly walked out of the admonishment road.

    "Brother, calm down your anger. It is said that three armies are easy to obtain, but a general is difficult to find. Although Zhang Ren is guilty, he has made many military exploits in the past and has won the popularity of the people in Shu. He cannotA lighter punishment.  Furthermore, changing commanders before battle is a taboo for military strategists, please think twice!  "

    After hearing this, Liu Zhang's anger subsided slightly and he asked Liu Bei.

    "According to my elder brother's opinion, what should I do?"

    "If I don't think my brother is incompetent, I am willing to lead 20,000 troops to rescue Jiameng Pass, resist the northwest army, and Yizhou will be safe. If we fail, I am willing to suffer the consequences together with General Zhang!"

    Liu Bei generously asked for orders and took the initiative to ask for help.  Liu Zhang was overjoyed and allocated 20,000 troops to Liu Bei to rush to Jiameng Pass to aid.  Wenhan's army pressed on the border, and Liu Zhang was afraid that Liu Bei would be unable to stop him, so he urgently ordered his generals to guard the passes to prevent Liu Bei from defeat.  Yang Huai and Gao Pei, the governors of Baishui, obeyed the order and guarded Fushui Pass.  Liu Zhang led the remaining soldiers back to Chengdu.

    It is said that Liu Bei borrowed 20,000 soldiers and horses from Liu Zhang, and marched towards Jiameng Pass on a starry night. Along the way, he made good friends with various Xichuan generals. He gave all the gold and silk gifts from Liu Zhang and extended favors to win over the troops.

    But it was said that Wen Han sent out troops and horses, and Zhao Yun led 30,000 soldiers to Jiameng Pass first.  He divided his forces to attack day and night, and Zhang Ren cooperated with Jiameng Guanyuan guard Huo Jun to fight to the death.  However, there were many soldiers in the northwest and the offensive was fierce. Seeing that Jiameng Pass was about to be broken and reinforcements had not arrived for a long time, the morale of the army was low and the soldiers were afraid of war. Both Zhang Ren and Huo Jun were anxious.

    Just when it was extremely urgent, a message finally came from Chengdu. Fazheng came with a letter and informed Zhang Ren that Liu Bei was leading an army of 20,000 to Jiameng Pass for rescue, which would arrive in the near future.

    As soon as Zhang Ren heard Liu Bei lead the troops, his expression suddenly changed. He was surprised and confused, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.  Fazheng knew that Zhang Ren was a loyal man, so he immediately informed him of the previous events, and at the same time detailed Liu Bei's previous pleas for him in front of Liu Zhang.

    "Uncle Liu Huang is a man of benevolence and righteousness, General Zhang need not worry too much. If Uncle Liu Huang had not interceded in front of the lord before, I am afraid that General Zhang would have been imprisoned by now."

    Zhang Ren's eyes were cold, but he didn't appreciate it, and he snorted coldly.

    "Hypocrisy and mean tactics! I know I'm guilty and don't need him to intercede on my behalf. As long as I repel Wen Bufan's bandit army, I will plead guilty to my lord!!!"

    Seeing Zhang Ren's staunchness, Fazheng knew that Zhang Ren, like Huang Quan, Wang Lei, Liu Zhuan and others, had no good impression of Liu Bei.  He immediately changed the subject and said.

    "It is the Lord's wish to order Uncle Liu to lead troops to help. I hope that General Zhang will put the overall situation first and work together with Uncle Liu to repel the evil thieves."

    Zhang Ren turned around suddenly, his eyes widened, and looked directly into Fazheng's eyes. Under Zhang Ren's majestic gaze, Fazheng felt a sense of guilt for some reason and did not dare to look directly at Zhang Ren.

    "Filial piety and uprightness! Don't forget that you are a minister of Shuzhong, and you are living on the salary of Shuzhong. If one day, I find out that you have disloyal intentions towards my lord. Then don't blame me for ignoring our friendship and killing each other for justice!!!  "

    "Zhang Guyi you!!!"

    Zhang Ren¡¯s words were like a sharp sword thrust into Fa Zheng¡¯s heart.  Fazheng's eyes widened suddenly and he wanted to refute, but something was wrong in his mind and he was speechless for a moment.  Zhang Ren snorted coldly and ordered his soldiers to send Fa Zheng away.  Fazhenghei looked solemn and left angrily.

    When Fazheng walked out, he remembered what Zhang Rengang had said, and felt his heart tightening. He stood for a long time and sighed secretly in his heart.

    "Hey~! Zhang Guyi, Zhang Guyi! It's not that I, the filial piety, sell the master for glory, it's actually that Liu Jiyu is incompetent and cowardly, and doesn't know how to use talents. If the land of Shu is led by him, it will be difficult to protect him day and night, and he will become the meat of others sooner or later!  "

    After finishing the Fa Zheng, he sighed and left lonely.  The Xichuan soldiers around him seemed to know some information, and they were secretly pointing fingers at Fazheng, and some even glared angrily.

    The next day, Zhao Yun led his troops to attack again.  Zhang appointed his soldiers to guard the pass. The shouts of killing were heard when he closed and closed the pass. Rocks flew and arrows fell like a heavy rain.

    Suddenly, there was a huge dust storm behind the pass, the flags blocked the sun, and I don¡¯t know how many soldiers and horses came.  Zhao Yun heard the soldiers behind him shouting in surprise. He looked anxiously and was startled. He did not dare to act rashly and immediately ordered the army to withdraw and return to the stronghold.  Seeing this, Zhang Ren took advantage of the situation and taught Yan Yan and Ma Chao to lead a team of light cavalry each to go out and cover up the enemy.

    Yan Yan and Ma Chao took the order, grabbed their weapons, flew out with their horses, led their troops into the Northwest Army, and killed the Northwest Army who could not escape, causing chaos.  When Liu Bei saw it on the mountain, he secretly admired the bravery of Yan Yan and Ma Chao. Zhang Ren commanded the troops in a good way, and he was very knowledgeable in the art of war.

    Yan Yan and Ma Chao returned after a small victory and were about to come to see Zhang Ren. At this time, Liu Bei's 20,000-strong army also rushed to the pass.  Zhang Ren looked cold. As soon as he left the battle building, he happened to meet Yan Yan and Ma Chao, so he and the two generals ordered them to accompany him to greet Liu Bei.  Yan Yan saw that Zhang Ren looked bad, so he didn't ask any more questions and followed closely behind.  Ma Chao's eyes flashed continuously, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

    When he was young, Zhang Ren led the generals in the pass out of the gate. Liu Bei dismounted his horse and paid homage.

    ¡°I¡¯ve heard about General Zhang¡¯s reputation for a long time, and it¡¯s like thunder in my ears.I hate that Yunshan is so far away that I can¡¯t listen to the teachings.  I am lucky enough to see dignity now. It is really a blessing.  "

    Liu Bei's enthusiasm was reflected in Zhang Ren's cold face.  Zhang Ren bowed slightly, dealt with it casually, looked sideways at Liu Bei and said.

    "Uncle Liu Huang is not afraid of hard work and has come from afar. Don't be surprised if you are disappointed."

    Zhang Ren had a cold voice, but Liu Bei smiled broadly and took Zhang Ren's hand, expressing his admiration.  Zhang Ren frowned. He said he would not hit the smiling person, not to mention that Liu Bei had been kind to him before.  Although Zhang Ren didn't like Liu Bei, he was torn apart by bad people in person. Moreover, he was facing a formidable enemy and needed people. Although Liu Bei didn't have many troops, he had three men under his command: Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, and Hua Xiong.  The fierce generals are all world-famous generals. If they can get help, their chances of winning against the northwest army can be improved a bit.

    Zhang Ren then calmed down his cold expression, forced a smile, and led Liu Bei and others into the pass.  After the storm passed, Zhang Ren was in the war building that night, gathering people to discuss.

    Zhang Ren sat in the high hall and spoke attentively.

    "Jiameng Pass is in an emergency today. Zhao Zilong has led his army to attack the pass for a long time. Our army's morale is low and we need one person to break it to boost morale. But Zhao Zilong is a general in the northwest and cannot be easily reached. His bravery intimidates the soldiers all over the world.  , No one can stand up to him. Of all the people in his household, I am afraid that no one can be his opponent.¡±

    As Zhang Ren spoke, he secretly looked at the generals behind Liu Bei.  As soon as Zhang Ren finished speaking, someone suddenly shouted angrily.  "Director Zhang, why are you looking down on everyone! Although I am not talented, I am willing to cut off the head of Zhao Zilong and offer it to my subordinates!!"

    As soon as these words came out, all the generals in Xichuan changed their expressions and looked at the veteran general Huang Zhongye urgently.  Zhang Ren felt happy, but pretended to be embarrassed and said.

    "General Huang is getting stronger with age. He shot down the Jiangdong tiger Sun Wentai in the past. Everyone in the world knows the courage of the old general. Zhao Zilong is in his prime and is much stronger than Sun Wentai when he was young. Old General Huang may not be Zhao Zilong's opponent."

    After Huang Zhong heard this, his white hair stood on end and he was furious as he spoke.

    "If it's what Governor Zhang said, it means that the reason why I was able to shoot Sun Wentai back then was because he was not as good as he used to be because of his old age?

    Zhang Ren was secretly happy when he saw that Huang Zhong had fallen victim to his provoking technique, but he pretended to do so.

    "Zhang is just telling the truth. If he mistakenly violates the dignity of General Huang, I hope that General Huang will not blame him."
