When he came back to his senses, Zhao Yun hurriedly called the soldiers behind him to rush into the pass, and then stepped forward quickly.

"My lord is indeed brave!"

Zhao Yun praised sincerely,
"Jianmen pass is the most dangerous pass in the world, but the lord can take him down so easily!"

Cao Mao smiled faintly, and looked into the pass.

The Yizhou Army, which was originally struggling to support, was completely defeated after Cao Jun poured in in large numbers!
Either they rushed towards the south gate in a hurry, or they dropped their weapons and surrendered!
"After taking down Jianmen Pass, the next level will be flat. At that time, there will be no natural danger. Let's see what Liu Zhang will do!"

Zhao Yun sneered.

……

Chengdu.

In court.

Liu Zhang is discussing political affairs with a group of subordinates.

"Because there is less rain this year, the harvest is relatively mediocre..."

Zhang Song said slowly.

At this moment, a follower rushed in from the outside,
"My lord, big... big things are not good! Jianmen has been cleaned up!"

"what?!"

Liu Zhang jumped up from his seat in shock.

Even Zhang Song, who has always been calm, slipped the official document in his hand to the ground.

He looked towards Fazheng in disbelief.

Fazheng also happened to look over.

Shock was written all over their faces!

Others in the hall also let out a burst of exclamation.

Jianmen Pass is as important to Yizhou as Tongguan is to Chang'an and Yangping Pass is to Hanzhong.

Its loss means that Chengdu will face Cao Jun's cavalry directly!
After reacting, there was a commotion among the people in the hall, and buzzing discussions followed.

"This... what should I do? Mr. Ziqiao, save me quickly!"

Like an ant on a hot pot, Liu Zhang was sweating profusely, looking at Zhang Song pleadingly.

Zhang Song also did not expect that Cao Jun could take Jianmen Pass so easily.

But since Cao Mao has fulfilled his requirements, he should lobby Liu Zhang as he promised earlier.

Thinking of this, he collected himself and sighed in embarrassment.

"My lord, once the sword gate is lost, even if the gods descend to the mortal world, they will have no power to return to heaven."

"At the beginning, the subordinate persuaded the lord not to offend King Wei rashly, but the lord refused to listen."

"It's too late to regret now!"

Liu Zhang was very remorseful, and said helplessly,
"How could I have thought that Zhang Ren would be so incompetent!"

"According to my subordinates, it's not that Zhang Ren is incompetent, but that King Wei is too brave."

Fazheng said solemnly,
"Since Jianmen Pass has been lost, there is no point in resisting."

"It's better to write a letter to the king of Wei, expressing his willingness to surrender."

"With King Wei's character, I think he wouldn't make things difficult for the Lord."

Liu Zhang looked hesitant and said hesitantly,
"Is this... is this... feasible?"

"The subordinates think it is feasible."

Zhang Song nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Zhang Song and Fazheng were talking to each other, and when they were about to talk to Liu Zhang, Yan Yan who was at the side couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly stood up.

"Now that Jianmen Pass has been lost, Chengdu is at stake. You don't think about how to solve the master's worries, but you persuade the master to surrender to the Cao thief. You are really a villain!"

"Bah, shameless!"

Huang Quan also cursed loudly.

This scolding really made Zhang Song and Fa Zheng angry.

"How dare you two be so rude?"

"We are also thinking about the Lord! You don't know how Zhang Lu died tragically back then, right?"

The two retorted.

"You traitors! I'm ashamed to be with you!"

Yan Yan glared at Zhang Song and Fazheng, but bowed to Liu Zhang,

"When the Lord's father entered Yizhou, I don't know how much effort he put in to get to where he is today."

"My lord, as a relative of the emperor, how can he surrender to the Cao thief and hand over the great rivers and mountains?"

Faced with Yan Yan's persuasion, Liu Zhang hesitated again.
"Then...then according to the general, how should we fight against Cao thief?"

Seeing this situation, Huang Quan was overjoyed and said hastily,
"My lord, don't panic!"

"Although Jianmen Pass is lost, Cao Jun wants to enter Yizhou on a large scale, but it will not be possible in a short time."

"Let's organize our troops immediately, repel Cao Jun's vanguard, and recapture Jianmen Pass. We still have the strength to fight!"

Yan Yan nodded and said,
"What Master Huang said is reasonable, please give the order, my lord!"

"Then according to Master Huang's words, Old General Yan will be responsible for organizing the troops to fight against Cao Jun!"

Liu Zhang finally made up his mind.

"The last will obey!"

Yan Yan took the order with a bang, and before leaving, she glanced at Zhang Song and Fazheng, her face full of joy!
……

After the meeting, Zhang Song and Fazheng left together.

Seeing no one around, Zhang Song said in a low voice,

"Xiaozhi, if Yan Yan really wins this time and drives Cao Jun out of Yizhou, I'm afraid our life will be difficult."

Dongzhou faction and Yizhou faction are in the same situation.

Relying on Liu Zhang's trust earlier, they overwhelmed the Yizhou faction.

Once Yan Yan defeats Cao Jun this time, I am afraid that the Yizhou faction will turn around in the future, and the Dongzhou faction will be trampled underfoot!
"The king of Wei sweeps the world, and he rarely loses. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu... I don't know how many heroes are no match for the king of Wei!"

"Although Yan Yan has excellent martial arts skills, it is absolutely impossible for him to defeat King Wei."

Fazheng sneered.

"Then what should we do with the current situation?"

Zhang Song asked softly.

Fazheng pondered for a moment, lowered his voice and said,

"How about this, let's gather all the hands after Yan Yan and others lead the army to leave the city..."

"Are you planning to rebel?"

Zhang Song was taken aback.

"Keep your voice down!"

Fazheng quickly covered his mouth and said in a low voice,
"Rebellion is not enough, we can remonstrate with soldiers!"

Although the statement is about military remonstrance, Zhang Song is clear that this is undoubtedly rebellious!

He hesitated and said,
"In this way, we will end up betraying the name of the Lord..."

"so what?"

Fazheng sneered indifferently,

"Liu Zhang is cowardly, suspicious, incompetent, and has no enterprising spirit. Compared with King Wei, he is nothing but mud!"

"Since that's the case, why don't you just go to the King of Wei directly?"

"Zi Qiao, you have to think clearly."

"The king of Wei's advisers are like a cloud, Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Guo Jia... are all amazing and peerless!"

"If we don't make any contribution, how can we win the favor of King Wei and be reused?"

Faced with Fazheng's earnest persuasion, Zhang Song's complexion was uncertain.

Unlike Fazheng, who held low-level official positions such as county magistrate and school lieutenant, Zhang Song was Liu Zhang's number one adviser.

But even so, he was a little dissatisfied.

After all, Yizhou is too small, and it still faces competition from Yizhou faction!

Rather than doing this, it is better to do what the Fazheng says!

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,

"What you say makes sense, so do what you say!"

"Zi Qiao really is a visionary!"

Fazheng was overjoyed.
