Liu Bei attacked Yizhou and encountered a big trouble, that is, Liu Zhang's general Zhang Ren, this Zhang Ren is not simple, is a famous general in Sichuan, not only is he strong in martial arts, but also, quite resourceful, very difficult to deal with, Zhang Fei and Zhang Ren several times, did not solve Zhang Ren, and before this, Zhang Ren also shot Liu Bei's military master Pang Tong in Luofengpo, breaking Liu Bei's arm.
Later, Liu Bei was helpless and sent Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and others into Sichuan to assist, and In order to capture Zhang Ren, Zhuge Liang also went to great lengths and made great efforts, and actually dispatched five generals Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Yan Yan, and these five people worked together and fully cooperated, which only captured Zhang Ren, which shows Zhang Ren's strength.
This article only discusses evolution.
In order to catch a person, Zhuge Liang's blood cost is still very rare, that is, he later subdued Ma Chao, and did not send such a strong lineup, and only sent Zhang Fei and Wei Yan.
In order to deal with Zhang Ren, Zhuge Liang not only dispatched Zhang Fei and Wei Yan, but also Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Yan Yan.
At that time, Zhuge Liang crossed the Jinyan Bridge and fought against Zhang Ren's two armies, and Zhuge Liang deliberately took a very untidy army to persuade Zhang Ren to surrender, and Zhang Ren naturally did not surrender.
Zhang Ren saw that Zhuge Liang's army was scattered, joked that Zhuge Liang would not use troops, and then, waving the army to cover up the killing, Zhuge Liang rarely threw down the four-wheeled vehicle and retreated on horseback.
After crossing the Jinyan Bridge, Zhang Ren chased after him, and he was hit by Zhuge Liang's plan, at this time, it was too late to regret it, Liu Bei personally led an army on the left, Yan Yan led an army on the right, the two armies joined forces to attack Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren quickly retreated, at this time, the Jinyan Bridge had been demolished by Zhuge Liang's order, Zhang Ren was helpless, could not cross the Jinyan Bridge, and had to run north.
Zhang Ren just went north, did not expect, waiting for him is Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun has long blocked the way, Zhang Ren did not dare to go anymore, can only go south around the river, unexpectedly, walked a few miles, to a reed bush, Wei Yan led an army, waiting for a long time, Wei Yan ordered the soldiers to poke with long guns.
At the same time, Huang Zhong also led an army, ambushed in the reeds, with a long knife to cut off the legs of horses, Zhang Ren was cut blindfolded, his subordinates were also killed and wounded countless times, Zhang Ren had to take the remaining dozens of retinues, along the mountain road to escape, unexpectedly, at this time, Zhang Fei led an army to block the way.
Zhang Ren wanted to retreat again, it was difficult, and when his head was confused, Zhang Fei ordered the army to rush up, trapped Zhang Ren to death, and captured him alive.
In the rendition, the paragraph about capturing Zhang Ren alive is very wonderful, it can be said that Zhuge Liang is carefully designed, very thoughtful, and foolproof, Zhang Ren can not escape with his wings.
It is worth noting that the capture of Zhang Ren was not zhang ren captured alive by these generals when they were singled out, but by relying on the close cooperation of everyone, working together, and finally beating zhang ren in groups.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang both valued Zhang Ren, felt that Zhang Ren was a rare general, and wanted to surrender Zhang Ren, however, Zhang Ren was also very backbone, preferring to die rather than surrender, no matter who persuaded, it was not surrendered, in the end, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had no choice but to kill Zhang Ren.
In this way, Zhang Ren, the first general in Chuanzhong, fell, and from a comprehensive point of view, Zhang Ren's strength was definitely not under Wei Yan.
If Zhang Ren surrendered to Liu Bei, perhaps, during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Zhang Ren would play a huge role, and together with Wei Yan, he would become the mainstay of the Shu Han Dynasty, but unfortunately, history did not have ifs.
