After Zhang Mai and the others walked away, the murderous soldiers were ready to return to the city lord's mansion.

At this time, several of his personal soldiers blocked his way and asked puzzledly: "Big brother, if it is really Zhang Tingshi, we can just surrender to him, and we will not be discredited with betraying our ancestors......

"Phew, you know a fart, don't say if they are really Zhang Guang's people, even if they are true, you dare to surrender? Who is Zhang Guang in Liangzhou? The name of this man's loyalty is known to all the women and children in Guanzhong, and if he knows our behavior, we will all die! You all sober up! ”

"Is it yes, or is the eldest brother thoughtful, then we have to wait for the Huns now?"

"Well, as long as we dedicate this Tongguan Heavenly Danger, the glory and wealth are waiting for us, hahaha, this Great Jin Dynasty has nothing to say to us, the Huns have broken through Luoyang, that is, they have captured the world, we are just complying with the mandate of heaven!"

"Yes, yes, what the eldest brother said is very true!"

At this time, another lieutenant-like person rushed over, shouting loudly as he ran: "Oh no, no, there are a large number of men and horses, all cavalry, the number is estimated to be tens of thousands, and there is a big flag, and the big flag is the word "Zhao" on it!"

"Zhao Zi? Could it be Zhao Ran's centaurs? So fast?! Let's go, let's take a look! ”

"Yes!"

Outside the city of Tongguan

The dense torches lit up the entire night sky, and Zhao Ran's men and horses lit up the sky around Tongguan with torches like this!

Zhao Ran did not attack immediately, because the previous rapid march had exhausted all the physical strength of his men and horses, if he launched an attack immediately at this time, it was night, and he was likely to be wiped out, but he was unwilling to rest in the distance of Tongguan, as far as he knew, Zhang Dan, the guard of Tongguan, was a greedy and unbridled person, and the reason why he was able to do Tongguan was too guarded was because his relationship with Chun Yuding was not ordinarily good, and Chun Yuding got countless benefits from Zhang Dan every year, You must know that although Tongguan has no output, it is the gateway in and out of the customs, and each merchant will give Zhang Dan a lot of benefits every time they pass through Tongguan, otherwise they may encounter some so-called robbers......

Now all I can hope for is that the soldiers of Tongguan have long been separated from Zhang Dan, the Taishou of Tongguan, as long as there is a situation where the generals are not in harmony, then as long as they dare to work hard, maybe there will be a miracle......

Zhao Ran panted and looked at the unattainable Tongguan, and began to blame himself for being reckless, but now he is neither advancing nor retreating, so he has to stay under Tongguan City so awkwardly, and Tongguan City does not seem to have any intention of attacking him......

Tongguan city wall

The pro-soldier who committed the murder, Zhang Mao, the current Taishou of Tongguan Dynasty, looked at the dense crowd of people under the city, and muttered a little in his heart, because the clothes of these people did not look like the dress of the Huns, but the Zhaozi banner fluttering in the firelight made Zhang Mao feel a little expectant......

After Zhang Mao whispered a few words to his own soldiers, the soldiers shouted loudly to the city: "Whose men and horses are you, why are you here late at night?" ”

When Zhao Ran heard that the people in the city would ask such a stupid question, he sneered in his heart!

Zhao Ran waved his hand, and the captain under his command loudly reported his name: "We are under the command of Zhao Ran, the general of Pingxi of the Great Han Dynasty, and we are here to take this pass. “

When Zhang Mao on the city wall heard that he was really the rebel general Zhao Ran who surrendered to the Huns one step ahead of him, his heart suddenly blossomed, this is a model!

Zhang Mao was overjoyed, and said in his heart: His decision to take the risk of killing Zhang Dan this time is simply too wise!

Zhang Mao's eyes rolled for a long time, and finally made up his mind, after all, it is already known to the world that the Huns invaded Guanzhong, except for the Huns who dared to come to their own Tongguan, it is impossible for anyone to be stupid to come over and send him to death, and it is even more impossible to use someone to pretend to be the traitorous Zhao Ran!

"Quick! Open the city gates and greet our country's General Pingxi! General Zhao Ran! ”

The soldiers were a little hesitant, and in addition to hesitation, they were also a little unwilling to look at Zhang Mao......

"What are you hesitating about, do you think you can go back? It's Zhao Ran who is here now, do you know Zhao Ran? It's that rebel general, if it's another Hun coming, I don't know if you can promise us to surrender? Now that God is fortunate to be Zhao Ran, we can be considered to be able to survive, quickly! Open the city gate for me and greet General Zhao Ran! ”

Outside the city of Tongguan

Zhao Ran watched the gate of Tongguan being opened little by little, and his heart was also extremely nervous, should he wait for the city gate to open and attack or retreat first and then attack? Zhao Ran kept reminding himself that he must not make a mistake in judgment now, because once the error of judgment leads to irreparable failure, he will really be finished......

Zhao Ran still didn't give the order to attack immediately, but watched the defenders of Tongguan completely open the gate, and walked out of the pass, a large group of people and horses walked out of the pass, these people, everyone had a white flag in their hands, and even Zhao Ran saw in the firelight that the white flag was hung on the wall of Tongguan!

When the people in Tongguan knelt in front of him, Zhao Ran and the men and horses under his command were dumbfounded, and Tongguan surrendered! And it is surrendered without a fight!

Zhao Ran carried a spear, pointed at the general who seemed to be the main general kneeling on the ground, and shouted: "Who is you?" Why surrender without a fight? ”

"Tell General Zhao, I am Zhang Mao, the personal soldier of Zhang Dan in this city, because Zhang Dan is dead, so the last general temporarily takes the position of the general and exercises the duty of the guard!"

"How did Zhang Dan die? I remember when I hadn't left Nanyang Dog King, he was fat and fat, and his life was very good?! ”

"Tell the general, Zhang Danke deducted our military salaries, and I have already been asked to complain, and now that the Han Heavenly Army has arrived, Zhang Dan's dog thief dared to resist, so I led some loyal people to kill this thief!"

Zhao Ran sneered in his heart, what a bullshit loyal man, but he is not qualified to say anything about them, and he has already taken refuge in the Huns......

"Hehe, very good, Ben will ask you again, how many soldiers are there in Tongguan now?"

"Tell the general, there are 8,362 infantry up and down Tongguan!"

"What! There are only more than 8,000 people?!! Isn't Tongguan claimed to have 30,000 defenders all year round? ? How come there are only more than 8,000 people?! ”

"Tell the general, the Tongguan garrison has never been full of more than 10,000 people, and they are all the personnel who were falsely reported by Zhang Dan, and they are all paid for it!"

Zhao Ran took a deep breath, what a Zhang Dan, he dared to eat the empty salary of more than 20,000 people, it was really shocking! This Great Jin Dynasty, this dignified Nanyang King Sima Mo was stupid enough to use such a moth to serve as the Taishou of Tongguan, this Jin Dynasty, can this pass not perish?

Suddenly, Zhao Ran laughed out loud, and the more he laughed, the more rampant he became, until he was out of breath and slowly stopped coughing......

Zhang Mao and the other generals and Zhao Ran's own men and horses looked at Zhao Ran puzzled......

Zhao Ran stopped laughing, his face suddenly became extremely serious, he raised his spear and pointed at Tongguan, and shouted: "Sons! Come with me! ”
