Chapter 422: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow Follows

It was twenty-five or six days in a flash, and seeing that the Liangzhou army was still stationed in Chuyang City, Jitouguan, and Chenggu City without moving, Yan Yan and others of the Yizhou Army began to panic.

As Pang Tong had predicted before, the Yizhou army marched into Hanzhong this time, and its most desired goal was to take the entire Hanzhong County when the Hanzhong army and the Liangzhou army were both defeated. The purpose of the Yizhou army was to defeat the Hanzhong army with the Liangzhou army, and then get a little benefit from it.

As far as the Yizhou army is concerned, the current situation is that the Liangzhou army will neither fight with itself nor with the Hanzhong army; Except for the Raido army at the beginning, the Hanzhong army has not sent any envoys since; Regarding the marriage between the two families, Zhang Lu did not say a word.

Yan Yan and the others knew very well that if they delayed any longer, the grain and grass of the 20,000 troops under their command would be exhausted; If they return in vain, where should they put their faces?

In desperation, he was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, Yan Yan sent an envoy to Nanzheng City to meet Zhang Lu, hoping to combine the forces of the two families to defeat the Liangzhou army.

What made Yan Yan and others angry and unknown was that Zhang Lu killed the envoy of the Yizhou Army and sent a letter to Yan Yan. Zhang Lu bluntly said in the letter that he would exhaust all the troops of Nanzheng City and fight to the death with the Yizhou army!

Yan Yan and the others, who were furious, how could they easily swallow this evil breath? Yan Yan and the others didn't have time to think about it, so they immediately divided their troops into three routes, and surrounded the south, east, and west gates of Nanzheng City.

Zhang Lu has such an abnormal behavior, and there is indeed a reason to investigate. It all started five days ago.

However, he said that since the military discussion that day, Li Mu sent members of Fengying on the one hand, and a large number of scouts on the other hand, to investigate the strength, grain and grass of the Yizhou army, and the military situation in the direction of Chengdu.

According to the information obtained several times, Li Mu clearly knew that Yan Yan's department had 20,000 people, and the grain and grass carried by his army was only enough for one month. In addition, in the direction of Chengdu in Yizhou, there was no follow-up grain and grass sent to Yan Yan's department.

Adapt to local conditions and change with the times! After Li Mu discussed with Pang Tong, Ma, Ma Liang, Ma Tan and others, he decided to use delaying tactics to drag down the morale of the Yizhou army and wear down the morale of the Yizhou army before using the counter-strategy.

Seeing that the time was ripe, according to the information of the members of the Wind Shadow in Nanzheng City, Li Mu immediately sent the members of the Wind Shadow outside the city to enter Nanzheng City smoothly from the north gate. It turned out that a captain guarding the north gate of Nanzheng City was Yang Song's henchman.

The members of the Wind Shadow took advantage of the darkness of the night, led by the captain, to the Yang Song Mansion. When Yang Song saw all kinds of rare treasures, he immediately smiled and was ecstatic. Yang Song took the letter and read it, and said bluntly in the letter: If you can get rid of Yanpu and the Yizhou army outside the city, after the South Zheng City is broken, you can crown Yang Song as the Taishou of Hanzhong!

Yang Song had already seen the money, so how could he delve into the true intentions of the Liangzhou Army. Yang Song did not doubt that he had him, and immediately replied to Li Mu, saying bluntly: I am willing to help Li Junhou achieve great things, and he Yang Song will definitely be a competent Hanzhong Taishou.

To Yang Song's surprise, the day after he received the benefits of the Liangzhou Army, an anonymous letter with his guilt was also delivered to Yan Pu.

Yan Pu already had a personal grudge with Yang Song, so he naturally knew some of Yang Song's crimes. Now, with such a detailed and clear charge in his hands, how could Yan Pu let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Yan Pu didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately went to meet Zhang Lu with the guilt. Unexpectedly, Yang Song also had a letter in his hand against Yan Pu. In front of Zhang Lu, Yang Song and Yan Pu attacked each other.

In order to completely defeat Yan Pu, Yang Song framed Yan Pu for collaborating with the Yizhou army. Originally, Zhang Lu did not want to punish either Yang Song or Yan Pu. However, after listening to Yang Song's words, Zhang Lu was furious and immediately showed Yan Puxiao to the public.

It turned out that the strategy of marrying with the Yizhou Army was exactly what Yan Pu offered. Yang Song took advantage of this to make a big fuss and said to Zhang Lu: Yan Pu had already taken refuge in the Yizhou army, and he wanted to use the marriage strategy to humiliate the lord first, and then betray the lord to the Yizhou army; In addition, it was precisely because the eldest lady showed Yan Pu's conspiracy that she escaped from Nanzheng City.

In the face of Yang Song's slander of spewing blood and talking nonsense, for a while, Yan Pu was speechless, and naturally died in confusion. There is another reason why Zhang Lu is determined to kill Yan Pu, and that is...... The Yang family has a decisive strength in Nanzheng City, and if they want to keep Nanzheng City and their position as Taishou, they have to win over Yang Song.

The day after Li Mu received the news of Yan Pu's death, he sent an envoy to meet Yan Yan with great fanfare and open fire all the way. And this scene happened to be seen by the city guards on Nanzheng City.

When Zhang Lu learned the news, he completely believed what Yang Song said and believed it thoroughly...... Yan Pu has indeed defected to the Yizhou army, and the Yizhou army and the Liangzhou army have also colluded. Seeing the ...... Yang Song is so brave and loyal, Zhang Lu naturally wants to be rewarded. Yang Song once again came to the right and left, and reaped the benefits of the fisherman.

At first, although Zhang Lu was jealous of the Yizhou Army, he didn't want to fight to the death with the Yizhou Army, losing both; It wasn't until Yang Song brought a letter that Zhang Lu was completely furious.

This letter was written by Yan Yan to Li Mu, agreeing to ...... with the Liangzhou Army The letters of Hanzhong County are divided. In fact, Zhang Lu ...... again. Unknowingly, I fell for it.

Though...... Li Mu sent an envoy and also put forward the suggestion of ......'to share Hanzhong County with the Yizhou army', but Yan Yan did not explicitly agree. Because, Yan Yan doesn't have this power. However, Yan Yan replied to Li Mu with a handwritten letter, bluntly saying: You must show your own father-in-law, and then make a decision!

Heaven and earth are working together! To the surprise of Li Mu, Pang Tong and others, and the joy was ...... Ma Liang has a unique skill, that is...... Imitate someone else's handwriting.

Ma Liang easily imitated Yan Yan's handwriting and forged a letter of "agreeing to divide Hanzhong County together". This letter was passed to Zhang Lu through Yang Song.

The Liangzhou army is a battalion step by step, interlocking, one plan after another! Zhang Lu did not disappoint Li Mu, Pang Tong and others, he was ...... at the wrong time Believe the wrong person...... And made the wrong decision without hesitation.

The talented man Yan Pu died, and so did the envoy of the Yizhou army. Between the Hanzhong Army and the Yizhou Army, it finally became a ...... An irreversible and undying situation!

Since Yang Song has completely become a dog of Li Mu, then it must spare no effort to encourage Zhang Lu to take the initiative to send troops!

In just four days, the two armies of Hanzhong and Yizhou fought seven or eight battles. Both armies suffered heavy losses!

The Yellow Sparrow is coming!
