Liang Min was a little puzzled, since he was a robber and a thief, he didn't want money and only asked, it was really strange, listening to the accent of the speaker, it didn't seem to be a local, it should be the accent of the Central Plains, could it be a Jiangyang thief who committed crimes?

"This master spares his life, you just have to come and ask, you know everything, and you can say everything."

"Who are you and what kind of official are you?"

"In Xia Liang Min, now the head of Yang'ankou, I don't know what you are asking about?"

The team leader who asked glanced at Deng Ai, Deng Ai nodded lightly, he was going to catch a random person to ask, but he didn't expect to catch a valuable "big fish", it seems that the harvest this time is really not small.

Deng Ai didn't come to interrogate him personally, after all, he stammered, so he handed it over to the leader of this team to interrogate.

It seems that this little official named Liang Min was born with a soft bone, and the team leader only put the ring head knife on his neck, and without any torture, he poured out all the ground like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

The guard of Yang'ankou is named Li Qiu, the number of defenders is about 1,000 people, scattered in the barracks in the city, only if there is an enemy situation in the city, they will go to the city to meet the enemy, now there is no war, except for the dozens of guards patrolling at the city gate, other soldiers and horses will not be stationed.

This is good news for Deng Ai, the army defending the city is only a thousand people, only slightly more than the number of Yue cavalry battalions, and at this moment, they are scattered and stationed in the pass, as long as the Wei army takes the lead in stealing the gate of Yangping Pass, the entire pass will be breached.

Deng Ai then reported to Cao Liang and put forward a bold idea of his own, that is, to select an elite team, led by him personally, disguised as a passing merchant, and sneak attack and kill the team guarding the city, as long as the city gate can be controlled, it can create conditions for the Yue cavalry camp to enter the city.

Moreover, the captured Shu official was greedy for life and afraid of death, and with him in the army, it was easier to get closer to the city gate.

"Is that man's account true?" Cao Liang asked, at this time, the information in the city is a key thing, if there is a mistake, it will inevitably make the Yue cavalry battalion pay a greater price, Cao Liang is naturally extremely cautious.

Deng Ai nodded and said, "Yes, it is a lowly ...... After repeated verification, another person was caught, and the situation and ...... It's about the same as what Liang Min said. ”

Cao Liang nodded, Deng Ai has always been meticulous and cautious, Cao Liang is very relieved.

The guard general is called Li Qiu, probably Li Hui's nephew, and among the generals in the late Shu Kingdom, he is not well-known, so Cao Liang didn't take him too seriously.

The most difficult to break through Yangping Pass, I'm afraid is the city gate, if it is detected by the defenders of Shu State, then the city gate is closed, and the Yue cavalry battalion wants to break through the strong city, and then try to climb to the sky.

Deng Ai's plan is indeed good, with Liang Min as a guide, he can easily approach the city gate, as for attacking and killing the dozen or so Shu soldiers defending the city, it should not be a difficult task.

If the whole plan is successfully implemented, the Wei army can easily control the city gate and enter the city, and the next battle will become much simpler.

Deng Ai quickly selected seven or eight elite soldiers who were good at martial arts, led by Deng Ai himself, took off his armor, hid his weapons, and disguised himself as a passing merchant.

If the number of people is large, the defenders will find out and close the city gates, it will be worth the loss.

For the sake of safety, Cao Liang arranged for Fang Bu to also join the team, this kind of sneak attack, Fang Bu is the most ideal candidate, he alone can be a soldier or even more.

Fang Bu was obviously unwilling to follow Cao's arrangement, Cao Liang's safety was his greatest responsibility, not to mention that the battlefield was extremely dangerous, at this moment they were even deeper into the hinterland of Shu, Cao Liang's side, he needed more powerful bodyguards, and he couldn't leave for a while.

But this time Cao Liang didn't listen to him, the criticality of this battle is self-evident, Cao Liang must take it seriously, in addition to Fang Bu alone, Cao Liang has several personal soldiers, which is competent enough.

Cao Liang's insistence forced Fang Bu to retreat and agree to participate in the operation.

Deng Ai quickly set off with the team, and as for Cao Liang, together with Shi Bao, he led his troops to lurk in that dense forest, and only when Deng Ai's side succeeded in making a move, they could attack and seize Yangping Pass in one go.

Deng Ai and his entourage were very well disguised, and from a distance, they were no different from ordinary caravans, and the selected horses carried the goods on their backs, and their weapons were hidden on the horses.

The journey went very smoothly, Deng Ai's appearance did not seem to arouse any suspicion among the guards of Yangping Pass, and when they approached the gate of the city only about a hundred or ten steps away, Liang Min took advantage of the Wei soldiers' inattention, and suddenly rushed towards the guards, and shouted loudly while running: "There is an enemy attack!" There is an enemy attack! ”

The sudden change of elbows and armpits caught Deng Ai off guard, Liang Min had always been submissive, greedy for life and afraid of death, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, he suddenly shouted out.

However, Liang Min didn't run a few steps, Fang Bu's movements were much faster than him, and he chased behind him in a few steps, although Fang Bu didn't have a knife in his hand, but he raised his right hand and slashed at the back of Liang Min's neck, Liang Min just snorted, and he couldn't get up again when he fell to the ground.

But it seemed that everything was getting late, they were still a hundred steps away from the city gate, and the Shu army defenders who witnessed all this were like frightened birds, and immediately became panicked, and prepared to close the city gate.

Deng Ai and the others had already drawn their weapons and rushed towards the city gate, but such a long distance was almost beyond the reach of the whip.

Deng Ai couldn't help but regret it, he knew this earlier, because he should have disposed of this Liang Min earlier, and didn't give him any chance to turn back, and now Liang Min shouted such a voice in front of the city gate, completely destroying Deng Ai's entire plan.

Seeing that the city gate was slowly closing, and Deng Ai was still more than thirty steps away from the city gate, as long as the city gate was closed, Deng Ai and they would have no chance.

Just when Deng Ai was already in despair, a figure suddenly swept over like a fly, faster than lightning, and pounced on the city gate at an incredible speed.

When Deng Ai looked at it, it was not someone else, it was Fang Bu, Deng Ai suddenly had a glimmer of hope in his heart, his eyes looked straight at Fang Bu's background, and secretly hoped that Fang Bu could successfully break into the city.

At this time, the city gate has been closed to the point where there is only a gap left.
