After receiving the letter handed over, Ma Chao looked at the words "Brother Initiation" written on it, and his expression suddenly eased a lot.

He hadn't seen Zhang Yong's notes, but with the IQ of the military marquis under his command... Ma Chao didn't think they could play such a deep routine.

So I opened the letter and read it slowly.

"Brother Meng Qi, today there is a farewell to the mountains and rivers, and it is a blessing to be able to meet my brother for eternity... It's a pity that there is no feast in the world..., hearing the pain of my brother, the pain of Xiliang, my brother is also worried.

Today, I will bring Lankeng ten thousand stones of grain and grass to give to my brother, hoping to relieve my brother of some worries... Brother Zhang Yongcheng..."

"Big brother, what does the letter say?"

Seeing that Ma Chao's expression returned to normal, Ma Dai was also very curious about what the letter said?

"This 10,000 stones of grain and grass is indeed a gift from a virtuous brother."

Ma Chao nodded towards Ma Dai, put the letter away, and put it in his arms... Then he turned his head to look at several military marquis and said, "It's a certain impatience... I misunderstood you, when I returned to Wuwei, I will set up a banquet for you to make amends."

"Don't dare... Don't dare."

Seeing that Ma Chao was discouraged, several military marquis suddenly breathed a sigh of relief... Don't dare to say one after another.

Looking south, Ma Chao and Ma Dai had a few different thoughts in their eyes.

……

Fang Ling.

It is connected to Nanyang and Nanjun, and it is also the meeting place of the four forces of Cao, Liu Bei, Liu Biao, and Hanzhong Zhang. When Yang Ang was not defeated, the situation in Fangling was quite relaxed, after all, there were 6,000 garrisons, plus 2,000 county soldiers in Fangling County, which was quite offensive and defensive.

In addition, the terrain of Hanzhong is long and narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and a little carelessness will cause a commotion.

Therefore, in the past, except for Yang Ang who took the initiative to attack and harass, few forces took the initiative to attack Fangling.

Can... Now, Yang Ang's army has been defeated, more than half of the 6,000 elites have been lost, and the morale of the Fangling army and the people is sluggish, so naturally they can't stop the peeps of those who have a heart.

"Newspaper... Mr. Peng's car is three miles away..."

At the west gate of Fangling, although there was wind and snow, dozens of figures gathered outside the city gate, led by Han Bin and Yang Ang, the two leaders of Fangling County.

At this time, Yang Ang's injuries had not yet healed, and his expression was still extremely pale.

"It's finally here..."

Looking at the black shadow that appeared in the distance, Han Bin and Yang Ang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and their heads stretched out higher and higher.

But during the period of Yang Ang's defeat, every minute and moment that Han Bin and Yang Ang spent was not an exaggeration to describe it as a year.

The two knew in their hearts that on the one hand, they were guilty and remorseful because of the defeat; On the other hand... Heavy snow is coming, and the road from Nanzheng to Fangling will only be more difficult to walk, and I want to dispatch a large army... It's simply not possible.

There are no reinforcements outside, and in the face of the surrounding three forces, can the two of them survive this cold winter with their ability... It's an unknown indeed.

But the good thing... Nan Zheng was not without action, and sent Peng Yi over, although it is not clear how much Peng Yi really has learned, but with the admiration of the lord and the county in the letter... Peng Yi may be able to help them overcome the current crisis.

"Guanghan Peng Yi, I have seen Han County Order, General Yang."

Ximen, Peng Yi got off the frame wrapped in a thick brocade coat, breathing in the cold air and couldn't help but sneeze.

Compared with the weather in Yizhou, the climate of Hanzhong is undoubtedly cold and infiltrating.

"Han Bin, Yang Ang... Met Mr. ”

Looking at Peng Yi's young face, Han Bin and Yang Ang looked stunned, and the worries they had just put down in their hearts surfaced again.

In the letter... The lord and the county didn't say it, Mr. Peng Yipeng... What a young man in his early twenties!

Person... Can it really solve their current predicament?

"This is not the place to talk, hot food has already been prepared in the house, sir... Please! ”

However, Han Bin and Yang Ang are both important generals in Hanzhong on either side, and there are still some city governments, and after reacting... hurriedly suppressed the doubts in his heart and warmly welcomed Peng Yi to the mansion.

"Sir, this fish is a fresh fish caught by the fishermen in the city from the zukisui, and the taste is extremely tender, so Mr. Quan can taste it."

In the partial hall of the county government, Han Bin poured a full wine for Peng Yi, pointed to the fish on the case and introduced it with a smile.

The case is not big, but it runs in the mountains, swims in the water, and flies in the sky... There is everything, in order to welcome Peng Yi, Han Bin and Yang Ang really worked hard.

"I'm tired of Han County's order, and I've been accompanied by dry food and water along the way, and I really miss these oily and water foods."

Picking up a chopstick of fatty fish and chewing it carefully, Peng Yi showed a little intoxicated.

However, after all, Peng Yi was a wise man who went in and out of Yizhou Mansion, and he didn't know how many delicacies he had eaten, so ... Although the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the case are good, they are just a thing of food in Peng Yi's heart... That's all.

"I'm not afraid of the jokes of the two of you, although this time a certain person is in danger, but he has a limited understanding of the current situation in Fangling, and he has to bother Han County Ling and General Yang to introduce a certain person."

Looking at the expressions of Han Bin and Yang Ang, Peng Yi secretly said in his heart, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and leaned over to ask.

If he was a little older, Han Bin and Yang Ang would definitely not be like this... In the face of him, he wants to speak and stops, and his trust is limited.

"This matter can not be explained clearly in one word, sir, it is better to eat and drink enough..."

"Two, although a scribe is not a corrupt Confucian, he is not so particular, why don't I wait for the three of us to eat and talk, maybe I can think of some good way to break the dilemma in front of Fangling!"

Although Peng Yi, like the vast majority of literati in the world, has been influenced by Confucian dogma since childhood... However, Peng Yi is obviously a special case of dissoluteness, especially after meeting Zhang Yong... More or less influenced by Zhang Yong, Peng Yi has more signs of further self-release.

"Since the gentleman said so... Then let's talk while eating! ”

Signaling slightly to Yang Ang, Han Bin and Yang Ang were not pushing.

"Speaking of the current situation in Fangling... Also from..."

Next to Peng Yi, Han Bin had just sat down when he was interrupted by Yang Ang's words.

Seeing that Yang Ang's expression was slightly gloomy, he picked up the wine jar on the case and drank a few drinks, obviously the shadow left by the spear that day had not completely dissipated.

"Speaking of the situation in Fangling... It also starts with the battle between Cao Ren and Liu Bei.

Because Fangling is located in the key rush, it is the gateway to the east of the Han Dynasty, before a certain army was defeated, Fangling was more than 8,000 elites, whether it was Cao's, Liu Bei, Liu Biao, did not dare to plunder my Fangling in the slightest, that is, the Guan Yu who beheaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou, passed five passes and cut six generals, and the world-famous Guan Yu, in the face of my Fangling's soldiers, could only stick to Guzi City, blocking the route of our army to plunder Jingxiang in the south and enter Nanyang in the east. ”

"In the battle of Wancheng, Zhao Yun's strength is of course important... Although the lord did not punish him afterwards, he knew in his heart that the defeat of Wancheng was not in the enemy's strength, but in a light enemy... Arrogance, looking down on yourself.

Sending troops in vain is one of them; This battle has not been fought steadily, occupying the counties to expand its wings; The Battle of Wancheng underestimated Zhao Yun... The third is to light the enemy in battle..."

After pouring several sips of wine one after another, Yang Ang's expression became more and more depressed.

I have to say that in the past few years, when facing Liu Bei's forces and Guan Yu, a world-famous general... He floated, thinking that Liu Bei and Guan Yu were just like that, and they were just like that in front of the elite of Hanzhong...

He used to laugh at people, but in the end... I found out that the stupidest and stupidest people... It turned out to be himself.

Guan Yu stuck to Guzi City, but he was instructed by Liu Bei to secretly keep his eyes open... I just don't want to cause trouble.

As for Liu Biao's side... He didn't even take him Yang Ang in his eyes, but he didn't have time to take care of him in the face of the two great enemies of the Cao family and Jiangdong.

……

"General, the past has passed, Taishou has not replaced the Fangling guard, that is, he attaches importance to the general, trusts the general, and hopes that the general can be reinvigorated and become a barrier in the eastern part of Hanzhong, if the general is still immersed in it because of the Wancheng incident... Gu Ying has self-pity, doesn't he live up to Taishou's trust? ”

One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and the battlefield will be conquered... The rise of a famous general will inevitably step on the bones of countless enemy soldiers, and this time Zhao Yun has emerged in Wancheng... It's also bitter for Yang Ang.

However, failure is such a thing, after all, it depends on Yang Ang himself, how many generals are in ancient and modern times, there are few people who have not experienced failure, some are reborn from the ashes, and some ... Sinking in the rolling torrent of history, what is the future of Yang Ang... After all, it depends on Yang Ang himself.

However, deep down in his heart, Peng Yi still hopes that Yang Ang can regain his strength, after all, there are not many generals in Hanzhong who have some ability, and this time he came to Fangling to lay the cornerstone for Zhang Yong, if Yang Ang can cheer up, he is also a general who can be used.

"General Yang, what Mr. said is right, the general still needs to cheer up, the safety of Fangling... In the end, it is entrusted to the general. ”

Peng Yi and Han Bin's words, in exchange for Yang Ang's silence, were deeply trapped in the situation... How can it be so beautiful and broken?

"Ahem... General Yang should go on! … At present, which forces are attacking Fangling...? ”

Shaking his head, Peng Yi did not persuade him further.

"Sir, are you familiar with Nanyang County?"

Half-ringing, Yang Ang came back to his senses leisurely and lowered his head... He said as he looked at his own reflection in the wine jar.

"I know a little bit, Nanyang is one of the seven counties of Jingzhou, under the jurisdiction of Wan County, Nanxiang, Wuyin... Thirty-six counties, since ancient times the land is fertile, the population is large, giving birth to a few civil and military generals, powerful families, in the period of the second emperor Huan Ling, there is the reputation of the first county in the world.

Although it has gone through the yellow scarf, Yuan Shu, Zhang embroidery... There have been several wars, but the foundation still exists, and it is also a small county and a solid place in the world. ”

"Sir is right!"

Glancing up at Peng Yi, Yang Ang nodded.

"Jingzhou is rich, Qifen Lingxiu is in Jingbei, Nanyang, Jiangxia, and Nanjun are rare rich places. Nanyang County, as a strategic point in the north of Jingzhou, has been constantly fighting, but the heritage still exists.

After Zhang Xiu threw himself into Cao and Liu Bei attached himself to Liu Biao, the huge Nanyang County was divided into three.

Before Liu Bei occupied Wancheng, the Cao family occupied most of the city in Nanyang County, Liu Bei lived in poverty in Xinye, and the rest of the city was owned by Liu Biao. ”

"Since then, Liu Bei has occupied Wancheng, and his power has changed from Xinye, Najianyang, Yuyang, and Wanxian counties, and Nanyang to three counties."
