There was no siege, no gruesome slaughter, no rivers of blood, and not even a corpse hanging from the city gate. Wang Xuan simply swaggered into CD City.
All of this was thanks to the mass flight of Yizhou's native faction.
In fact, it was impossible to say that Yizhou's native faction had never considered defending the city or using their geographical advantage to fight Wang Xuan to the death.
Huang Quan, Wang Lei, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, and a large group of civil and military officials were not lacking in ability. Take Zhang Ren, for example. He was a genuine externalized Qi expert, as well as Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu's senior fellow disciple. Leading troops against Wang Xuan's assault would have been no problem for him... Yeah, right!
With his relationship to Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ren would have had to be kicked in the head by a donkey to lead troops against Wang Xuan!
Speaking of which, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren were fellow disciples, and both had the surname Zhang. Could they be related?
Of course, regardless of whether they were related, Zhang Ren could not possibly step forward at a time like this. It had nothing to do with whether he belonged to Yizhou's native faction. With such a huge family weighing on his shoulders, he could not possibly let his emotions dictate his actions.
Besides, if Yizhou's native faction claimed they had no reservations about Zhang Ren at all, they would not believe themselves.
Throughout the Shu Region, the most at ease was the Gan Ning family, which had completely adopted an attitude of watching from the sidelines. The other was the Zhang Ren family. As long as he did not court death, keeping his family safe would absolutely be no problem.
