On the evening of the tenth day of the ninth month of the ninth month of 311 A.D

Liangzhou City (Liangzhou is now Hanzhong, Hanzhong was called Nanzheng, Liangzhou, Xingyuan in ancient times, is the source of the Han River. Located in the southwest of Shaanxi Province, it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, the upper reaches of the Han River, the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, and the Daba Mountain in Nanping, the terrain is high from north to south, low in the middle, and the middle is the Hanzhong Basin. Hanzhong is located in the hinterland of southern Shaanxi, and it is an important gate from Shaanxi to Sichuan), and it is already in a state of alert for the whole city!

Zhang Jiong, the eldest son of the Liangzhou Assassin History, has also put on this neat armor and patrolled Liangzhou City!

And there is a person by his side, this person is a red man under Zhang Guang, the assassin of Liangzhou, who joined the army and Jin Miao!

Seeing Zhang Jiong's preoccupied appearance, Jin Miao took the initiative to step forward and persuade: "Eldest prince, don't be too anxious, these Hu people shouldn't dare to attack the city!" ”

When Zhang Jiong heard Jin Miao's persuasion, his brows furrowed even tighter, and his disgust with this person in his heart became deeper and deeper, but because he was a favorite of his father's trust, Zhang Jiong still respected him well, but today, in the face of such a predicament, he was so careless, which really made Zhang Jiong a little unacceptable!

Therefore, Zhang Jiong said to Jin Miao with some displeasure: "Jin joined the army, why did he say this?!" ”

Jin Miao saw that the eldest prince Zhang Jiong asked himself, and immediately said sarcastically: "The eldest prince, the Hu people have always been good at riding and shooting, so they just come to plunder like locusts, but if they choose to attack the city, it is because of their shortcomings to attack our strengths, so it seems that these Hu people are just because of the shortage of food in winter, so they came to plunder!" ”

"Oh? Is it just because of the shortage of food in the winter?! ”

"Exactly!"

"Well, you are very good, when my father returns, I will definitely say a few more kind words for the army in front of my father!"

When Jin Miao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately bowed down and said: "Xie Mengchang's son is very loving, and the minister must do his best!" ”

Zhang Jiong looked at Jin Miao's face, and his disdain for him deepened in his heart, especially when he dared to call his own words regardless of dignity and humility! Meng Chang, how can someone like you call me Zhang Jiong at will?!

Zhang Jiong shook his head in his heart, he couldn't bear his dignity this time, but he didn't want to see him in front of his eyes anymore, so he said politely: "Meng Chang is still young, and he still needs more advice from Jin to join the army, although the Hu people have not yet invaded, they have also arrived in Zongying Town, and it is not far from my Liangzhou City, and Jin has to make more arrangements and be more guarded when he joins the army!" ”

Jin Miao saw that Zhang Jiong did not object to his words, and he was really proud in his heart, and according to Zhang Jiong's respectful attitude towards himself, his relationship with Zhang Guang's father and son can be said to have gone further!

Jin Miao proudly thought of a word: henchman! Only henchmen can do this, haha!

After hearing Zhang Jiong's command, Jin Miao immediately replied energetically: "No! ”

Zhang Jiong nodded, ordered some trivial things, and finally sent Jin Miao away.

Without Jin Miao by his side, Zhang Jiong suddenly had a very comfortable feeling, as if the whole world was clean!

Zhang Jiong looked at the night sky, looked at the stars in the night sky, and then looked in the direction of Zongying Town, thinking about the true meaning of these Hu people!

In Zhang Jiong's thoughts, he didn't think that these Hu people came to Liangzhou City at this time to rob the surroundings of Liangzhou City, although Jin Miao's words were not wrong, but he forgot one thing, that is, if these Hu people really just wanted to rob, they didn't need to go deep into Liangzhou City at all, and according to the report of Tanma, these people were dressed like Lu Shuihu's people!

And Lu Shuihu's main settlement is in Anding, they dared to go so far away from their residence to invade the border of Liangzhou, and even killed outside the city of Liangzhou, how could this just come to fight the autumn wind (fighting the autumn wind generally refers to the behavior of the nomadic tribe when they rob a little property but do not go deep into the hinterland, generally speaking, it is to rob a little border village, and then leave automatically)?

Zhang Jiong thought of this, his brows furrowed again, he knew very well that the current strength of Liangzhou City was only about 20,000 people, and more than 20,000 people, half of them were forced labor, and they did not have much combat strength, and the elite were all taken to King Qin by their father, do you want to rely on this person to deal with the nearly 80,000 Lu Shuihu mentioned in the intelligence?

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiong couldn't help but shake his head, took a deep breath, and then looked up at the bright starry sky again, feeling powerless for a while......

Zhang Jiong was silent for a while, and then began to calculate the reinforcements that might come, if you want to mobilize people from other places to rescue Liangzhou City, it will take at least five or six days, can your own people hold on in the face of 80,000 Lu Shuihu?

Zhang Jiong didn't know, but he had to send someone to find the rescuers immediately!

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiong did not hesitate any longer, and immediately arranged for manpower to send personnel to the counties and counties under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou to recruit reinforcements.

However, whether this far water can come and save himself from the near fire in Liangzhou City, only God knows!

Just when Zhang Jiong was a little stunned, the city suddenly became noisy!

Zhang Jiong suddenly became alert and immediately inspected the past!

When he came down to the gate, he heard a man's voice knocking at the gate, and calling out in a loud voice, "Open the door!" Open the door! I am Yang Nandi, and I am the youngest of your eldest son, Zhang Jiong and Zhang Mengchang, I have something important to report! ”

When Zhang Jiong heard this, he immediately felt a spirit, originally this voice was somewhat familiar, but now he suddenly heard that this person not only claimed to be Yang Nandi, but also called out his own words, and the surprise in his heart was beyond measure!

Zhang Jiong immediately shouted through the city gate: "Are you Yang Nandi? Is it really you? ”

"Meng Chang! It's me, I'm Yang Invincible, open the door, I have something urgent to tell you! ”

Zhang Jiong wanted to open the door immediately, but his body only moved, and he restrained himself!

Zhang Jiong softly instructed the lieutenant beside him: "You go to the city wall and see if there is anything suspicious near him!" ”

"No!"

After a while, after confirming that there was no abnormality, Zhang Jiong personally opened a little crack in the door and let Yang Nandi in!

These two people haven't seen each other for five years, and I didn't expect to meet on such an occasion!

One was a mighty general dressed in armor, the other was dressed as a beggar dressed in tatters, and suddenly, an inexplicable barrier stood between the two people!

Five years, five years, everything seems to have changed......

Yang Nandi, who originally wanted to step forward to hug his small hair, stopped, and he felt Zhang Jiong's faint alienation from him, and this alienation was obviously because of his current downfall......

Zhang Jiong also looked a little embarrassed, but he immediately broke the awkward atmosphere with his already sleekness, and said deliberately and enthusiastically: "Brother Yang, where have you been in the past five years?" I miss my brother! ”

Yang Nandi's gaze was already a little cold when he looked at Zhang Jiong, but seeing Zhang Jiong showing this enthusiasm again, Yang Nandi immediately changed his enthusiastic face, but only the two of them knew in their hearts that the enthusiasm of the two at this moment was obviously fake......

"I've been studying in the Central Plains, and I just rushed back recently, and I don't want to run into some trouble, but because of this, I got a little very important news!"

"Oh? What's the important news?! ”
