The guards on both sides rushed forward and held Zhang Ren down and tied him up. Zhang Ren shouted: "I am not guilty!"

Liu Xun said coldly: "Do you think I am blind? Zhao Yun took off your gun. He could obviously kill you, so why not?"

He leaned closer to Zhang Ren again, gritted his teeth and whispered: "And you two have such similar marksmanship, how can you explain it to me?"

Zhang Ren lowered his head and said for a while: "We were taught by a master, so we naturally had the same marksmanship."

"So you are brothers of the same school. I understand. No wonder you refused to shoot Liu Jing's second arrow. So that's the case."

"wrong!"

Zhang Ren shouted loudly: "Although we are the same disciples, we have never met each other. We have been apart for decades, and we are each of them. There is no affair here. You must not wrongly accuse me!"

At this time, Wu Yi walked to Liu Xun and whispered: "Now is the time to hire people. Please forgive him for your sake! General Zhang should be fine."

Liu Xun looked at Zhang Ren coldly for a while, waved his hand, "Let him go!"

The soldiers loosened his ties, and Zhang Ren held his fists and thanked him, "Thank you for your forgiveness."

"Although I let you go, I will not let you go. I will surrender you to General Wu. You will not be allowed to bring one soldier or another!"

After saying that, Liu Xun turned over and beat the horse and left. Zhang Ren looked at him and walked away. He couldn't help but sigh softly. Wu Yi stepped forward to comfort him and said, "Young Master is also in a dilemma when Lei Tong was captured. Mr. Zhang should be more open-minded! When I have the opportunity, I will persuade the young master."

Zhang Ren smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Thank you for your comfort, but he can't even tolerate his own brothers. Can he still tolerate me?"

Zhang Ren stood up and left, Wu Yi was stunned. He always thought that Liu Wei was dead in the chaos, but Zhang Ren had something to say. Was Liu Wei killed by Liu Xun? He felt a little confused.

Liu Xun returned to the prefecture yamen with concern. He entered his official room. Agent Yin Jing came up and smiled and said, "I have checked the accounts clearly. There are 540,000 stones of food in the treasury, 800 million yuan in money and 12,000 kilograms of gold, which is enough to support us for more than a year."

"Thank you for your hard work sir." Liu Xun agreed casually and returned to his seat to sit down. He stared blankly outside the hall, looking absent-minded.

"Young Master, what happened?" Yin Xiao asked carefully.

Liu Xun shook his head, "It's Zhang Ren, which upsets me!"

"Zhang Ren?" Yin Ming was a little surprised, "Hasn't he always been loyal to the young master?"

"I knew people and face but not the heart. I used to think he was loyal to me, but today I realized that he and Zhao Yun were brothers of the same school."

Liu Xun raised his head and looked at Yin Jing and said, "I heard that Liu Jing's martial arts are also the same as Zhao Yun's lineage, so Zhang Ren should also be the same as Liu Jing, so he shot Liu Jing's arrow today, but he refused to shoot the second arrow. How can these subtleties be hidden from me?"

Yin Song has been following Liu Xun for three years and knows him very well. Liu Xun is not as cruel and insidious as Liu Wei. He is both talented and knowledgeable, and has great ambitions. On the surface, he is also generous to others, but Yin Song knows that Liu Xun is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate others. He holds a lot of grudges, but he usually hides it very well, and even his father can't see it.

Moreover, the cause of Liu Zhang's death is unknown. Liu Xun has always accused his brother Liu Wei of bribing the guards to attack, but Yin Jing had a feeling that Liu Zhang was most likely Liu Xun's attack, because Liu Zhang gave the military power in Hanzhong to Liu Wei, which made Liu Xun panic in his heart, and he had a motive to kill his father.

Of course, it may also be that Jingzhou took action. But after checking for a long time, they couldn't find the opportunity to take action in Jingzhou? Liu Zhang's death is still a mystery.

Yin Jing advised him: "Zhang Ren learned from his master forty years ago, and Zhao Yun was less than forty years old, not to mention Liu Jing. Even if he was a fellow disciple, it was not very meaningful. Zhang Ren did not have to betray his lord."

"You are wrong!"

Liu Xun shook his head and said, "If Zhang Ren did not have the need to betray me, then why did Zhang Song betray my father and want to offer Yizhou to Liu Bei? After all, it is for the benefit of the family. The interests of the Zhang family are their loyalty, and it is definitely not our father and son. Once Liu Jing promises to protect the interests of the Zhang family, Zhang Ren will definitely betray me, not to mention that I am not the governor appointed by the court, and no one is willing to call me the governor of the state."

Yin Yin was speechless and pondered for a moment and said, "If you really can't defend Chengdu, surrender is actually a choice. At least you can protect the young master and his family."

Liu Xun turned around and glared at Yin Jing, "If you are greedy for life and fear of death, I will let you out of the city now!"

Yin Jing was so scared that he knelt down, "I don't have this intention, the young master misunderstood."

"snort!"

Liu Xun snorted heavily, "Go! I don't want to see anyone now, let me be quiet for a while."

Yin Jing stood up and bowed slowly, walked out of the room. He breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head. At this time, a crisp sound of "bang!" came from behind him. Liu Xun was squeaking in the room with a hoarse voice: "It's all a group of greedy people, fearless and unfaithful bastards!"

Yin Xiao frowned, and his heart suddenly tightened

In the Jingzhou camp, a group of soldiers hugged Lei Tong into the central army's tent. Lei Tong glared at Liu Jing, raised his head, looked at the top of the tent, and ignored anyone at all.

Liu Jing looked at him and waved his hand, "Let him loose!"

The soldiers loosened Lei Tong's tied up. He gently rubbed his arms a little numb and said angrily: "You don't need to be so hypocritical. I will not surrender. If you want to kill and cut you, I, Lei Tong, will never frown."

Liu Jing smiled slightly, "I won't force you to surrender if I don't kill you. If you don't want to stay, then leave!"

Lei Tong was stunned and turned his head to look at Liu Jing, "What did you say?"

"I said, if you refuse to surrender, then leave! I'll let you go."

Lei Tong couldn't speak for a long time, "You... really let me go?"

Liu Jing waved his hand, "Give him his horses and weapons back and let him out of the camp!"

The soldiers stepped forward and called Lei Tong out. Lei Tong lowered his head and said nothing. He finally sighed, turned around and left the tent, and watched him walk away. Sima Yi smiled from the side, "He has been shaken in the end, why doesn't the provincial governor persuade him anymore?"

Liu Jing shook his head, "This man was loyal to Liu Wei first, and later surrendered to Liu Xun. He refused to surrender to me due to his face, so I let him go. He will surrender with convincing next time, so we should not be anxious."

Sima Yi gave a thumbs up and smiled: "The governor of the state really has insight into people's hearts!"

Liu Jing narrowed his eyes. If he didn't understand the hearts of the people, could he be a state governor? He glanced at Sima Yi again and couldn't help but smile and said, "You don't need to flatter me, it's so stingy."

"I sincerely admire you, not flatter you!"

Liu Jing waved his hand and smiled, "Let's talk about the strategy to break the city! I want to hear your plan, but I don't know how prepared you are?"

Sima Yi nodded, waved his hand and ordered the soldiers, "Come on!"

Soon, several soldiers carried in a wooden carved city, which was a miniature model of Chengdu City, eight feet long and three feet high. The city walls, city gates, suspension bridges, urns, moats, and even Jinhe River. This was Sima Yi personally drew the drawings and ordered the carpenters in the army to start making them. This morning, it was finally made after inspecting the city on site.

Liu Jing was quite interested and walked up to check the wooden city carefully. It was exactly the same as the one he saw today. He smiled and said, "It's really hard for a military advisor. With this wooden city, why worry about the real city not being destroyed?"

At this time, Xu Jing also walked in. He bowed to Liu Jing and stood aside and looked at the wooden city curiously. It was the first time he heard that he used the wooden city to study strategies to break the city, which made him admire him.

Sima Yi walked forward, picked up the wooden pole and pointed at the city wall and said, "The height of the city wall is the same as that of Luoyang City, three or four feet high. Our highest siege ladder is only three or four feet high, and it cannot be used. Although the cloud ladder can build a city, there are only twenty cloud ladders, and the number is still insufficient, so it is not wise to attack the city wall."

Sima Yi pointed the wooden pole at the gate of the Shuicheng again: "The second is the Shuimen, because we have a large number of warships, attacking Shuimen is a shortcut, but I don't know how strong the Shuimen iron fence is."

Sima Yi turned around and looked at Xu Jing, and Xu Jing bowed slightly and said, "The Water Gate is exactly the same as Luoyang, with two iron gates inside and outside, about the thickness of two fingers."

"That's exactly the same as Chaisang Watermen."

Liu Jing smiled from the side and said, "Ling Cao attacked Chaisang City through the Water Gate, and I still remember it fresh."

Sima Yi hurriedly said: "Weichen's idea is to break through the water city, and he can reach the city directly from the water city gate. However, what the Zhou Mu said should be a siege ship. We do not have one yet and it takes time to build it."

"How much time will it take to create it?" Liu Jing asked.

"It will take three days at the fastest."

Liu Jing made a quick decision, "Okay, I'll wait for another three days!"

Although Liu Jing finally decided to attack the city six days later, he still needed to put pressure on Chengdu before that.

At night, hundreds of ox carts were parked by the Jin River in the east of the city. More than a thousand soldiers brought buckets of turbulent from the carriage. Here, they were about 300 steps away from the Water Gate. The Jin River flowed into the city from here. After winding in the city, it flowed out from the North Water Gate, flowing all the way to the northwest, and finally poured into the Minjiang River.

The soldier poured a bucket of turbulent oil into the river. Soon, a thick layer of turbulent oil was spread on the river surface and floated into the city. A soldier used a torch to ignite the turbulent oil on the river surface. "Boom!" The river surface began to burn, spreading forward quickly, rushed through the water gate, and burned into the city. Soon, the entire eastern section of Jinhe became a fire dragon.

The Jingzhou army poured five thousand barrels of turmeric oil into the river one after another. The smoke rolled on the river surface and the flames burned, and the entire city was covered by thick smoke.

The soldiers were frightened and rushed to tell each other that this was the first time they saw the water burning, and this panic quickly spread throughout the city.

Every household ran out of the house, standing far away by the Jin River, looking at the blazing fire on the river surface, people were talking in horror, and many wizards even thought that this was the Jingzhou army performing witchcraft.
