Zitong, when the sun rises in the east, I saw a force from far and near, and the eyes of the soldiers on the city tower instantly became vigilant, and now this Zitong Pass has been occupied by Ye Zhao's special combat battalion, but the banner is still under the banner of the Shu army.

Overnight, the 800 soldiers of Zitong Pass were washed in blood by Gu Cheng with the special combat battalion, and the terrifying thing is that except for those who died, except for the bloody atmosphere a little heavier the next day, no one in Zitong Pass noticed the changes in Zitong Pass.

There are more faces, but Zitong Pass is the gateway to Bashu, and further south is Langzhong, this personnel exchange is also a common thing, and the merchants and mountain people can't control the affairs of the government, until Gu Cheng cleans up the corpses in the city, no one notices anything unusual.

"General, the January period has not yet arrived, it is not a grain pressing team, and there are quite a few people, I am afraid that there will be no less than 10,000 people, do you close the city gates?" A special operations battalion team led to Gu Cheng's side, wolf-like eyes looked at the troops who were slowly coming, these people were the elite selected from the army, they had seen blood, plus Ye Zhao's training, Mo looked at it as just a team leader, in the ordinary army, martial arts alone were not much worse than ordinary military marquis, and in the special warfare battalion, Gu Cheng's highest rank was only to the military marquis, and ordinary soldiers were also characters who could become generals in ordinary armies with their abilities.

"Don't move! Call the soldiers to be ready to fight at any time! Gu Cheng shook his head, looked at the soldiers who came slowly in the distance, and said, "Follow me down to the city!" ”

"Whoa!"

Gu Cheng only took two entourages down the city, rode out of the city, and went straight to meet the incoming army.

"Who's coming!?" Without waiting for the other party's scouts to come to inquire, Gu Cheng took the lead, rushed to the front of the army, and shouted loudly.

"I'm Sima Zhang Xiu of the other department!" Pegasus in the army rushed out, looked Gu Cheng up and down, frowned, and said, "Who are you?" Where is Tao Ran? ”

"Can I show me the seal?" Gu Cheng ignored it and said loudly.

"Bold, haven't you heard of the name of the Five Bucket Rice Master?" On Zhang Xiu's side, a general glared at Gu Chengdao.

Zhang Xiu is the master of the Five Bucket Rice Sect, and the folk name is the Five Bucket Rice Master, although he is now loyal to Liu Yan, but Zhang Xiu prefers others to call himself the Five Bucket Rice Master.

Gu Cheng didn't pay attention to it, just looked at Zhang Xiu and said, "Please forgive the last general for being rude, the army only recognizes military orders!" ”

"You ......" The general was furious and wanted to scold, but was stopped by Zhang Xiu.

"It's okay!" Zhang Xiu looked at Gu Cheng appreciatively, took out a seal letter from his bosom and handed it to the general beside him, looked at Gu Cheng with a smile and said, "I don't know what position this general holds?" ”

Gu Cheng pretended to confirm the seal letter, and returned the seal letter to the general with a bad face, turned over and dismounted, and bowed to Zhang Xiu: "The duty is, I hope the general will forgive the sin, and the garrison of Zitong Pass is not a general." ”

The military marquis is also an official position given by Ye Zhao, although it is the elite trained by Ye Zhao himself, but before the meritorious service, this special combat battalion is not easy to give too high a military position, and it is difficult to convince the public.

"It's just a small marquis!" The general beside Zhang Xiu sneered disdainfully.

"Alright." Zhang Xiu waved his hand and said, "Captain Tao Ran can be in the city?" ”

"General Tao suffered from malaria a few days ago, and now he is recuperating in the mansion, and he has invited several doctors and craftsmen who are unwilling to take care of him, and now he is recuperating in the mansion......" Gu Cheng hesitated for a moment, bowed down and said: "If the general wants to visit...... It's best to bring a few healers with you. ”

"Not necessarily!" Zhang Xiu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "General Ben just asked casually, who is in charge of Zitong Pass now?" ”

"It's the last general." Gu Cheng arched his hand.

"General Ben was ordered to go to the garrison of Baishui Pass, passing through Zitong, the documents have been shown to you, let them go as soon as possible!" Zhang Xiu took the seal letter sent back by the general and looked at Gu Chengdao.

"The general forgives the sin, and the general has no right to agree to this matter!" Gu Cheng looked puzzled: "The last general is not the general of Zitong, and this matter needs the approval of General Tao before it can be ......."

"Bastard, my general's trip was ordered by the state pastor, don't you know that the soldiers are fast, if the military situation is delayed, how can you afford it?" The general said angrily.

"This ......" Gu Cheng thought for a while, and said to Zhang Xiu: "I don't know if the general can be in Zitong Pass for two or three days, and the last general will ...... The last general sent someone to ask General Tao, and as long as General Tao stamped his seal, the last general would immediately let him go. ”

"Why does it take so long just to put a seal?" Zhang Xiu frowned.

"The general forgives the ......" Gu Cheng smiled bitterly: "The general should know, the malaria is very troublesome, don't hide it from the general, the generals and servants in General Tao's mansion have all been infected with malaria, as a last resort, I and several other military marquis discussed to seal them all in the mansion, and now to reopen the door of the mansion, an ......altar needs to be set up."

Gu Cheng suddenly looked at Zhang Xiu and said with a smile: "I forgot, the general is the Heavenly Master, why don't the generals go with me and the others, first, to worship the ghosts and gods, and secondly, they can also be directly sealed, and maybe they can also help General Tao cure malaria!" ”

The Wudou Rice Sect is widely spread in the Ba County area, and the Shu people also believe in this way.

"This ......" Zhang Xiu hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this: "No need! General Ben is in the military, and the ghosts and gods are not close, so if you want to invite the gods again, you need to fast for seven days, so let others go. ”

Just kidding, others may think that the ghosts and gods are terrifying, but as the number one god stick of the Wudoumi Sect, although Zhang Xiu has cultivated the way of ghosts and gods, but he has never seen ghosts and gods, and he only burns a rune paper with water to let people drink it on weekdays.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing his mood, Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "The general will camp here, wait for three days, and after three days, please be sure to send the letter back." ”

"General rest assured!" Gu Cheng nodded a little embarrassed, and arched his hand at Zhang Xiuyi: "Then I will leave here." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Xiu nodded, and ordered people to camp on the spot without mentioning it.

After Gu Cheng returned to the city with two team leaders, a lot of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he looked at the two of them and smiled: "It's more tiring than a battle!" ”

The two team leaders also had palpitations, and the three of them ran to the front of the enemy army to fool the enemy commander, which sounded nothing, but they were immersive, and there were ghosts in their hearts, in front of the thousands of troops and horses, the slightest mistake was the end of the catastrophe, even if it was a veteran of a hundred battles, his heart trembled a little.

"It's still a general, if it's me, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with it as easily as the general." One of the team leaders laughed.

"Immediately go to Jiamengguan to inform General Guan, Shu General Zhang Xiu led a heavy army to come, his intention is unknown, let him inform the lord, see how the lord responds?" After Gu Cheng exhaled, he looked at the two teams and said.

There are only three days, even if it is a special operations battalion soldier, it is impossible to run back and forth from here to Baishui Pass in three days, and it is difficult to go back and forth to Jiameng Pass, so you can only go to Jiameng Pass to get on the flying boat from Guan Hai, and then go to Baishui Pass to see Ye Zhao's meaning, if Baishui Pass has not been breached, and the Shu army has a large army coming, then there is no need to continue to defend this Zitong Pass.

"Whoa!" The two team leaders saluted, one of them turned around and went to arrange for people to go to Jiameng Pass, and the other team leader glanced at the open city gate and said, "General, do you close the city gate?" ”

"If the city gate is closed, it will make that cultivator suspicious, within three days, everything will be as usual in Zitong Pass, and after three days, it will depend on the situation!" Gu Cheng hesitated, shook his head, and gave up this plan, as the main general carefully selected by Ye Zhao in the special operations camp, in addition to Gu Cheng's ability to learn various skills quickly, the most important thing is that he has a talent that ordinary people can't reveal in terms of insight into people's hearts, otherwise, if you only talk about bravery, Guan Hai and Dian Wei are more qualified than Gu Cheng for the position of the main general of this special operations battalion, but Ye Zhao let Gu Cheng take the position of the main general is not for nothing, at least this ability to perceive people's hearts, Gu Cheng is the most satisfying one for Ye Zhao.

"Whoa!" The team leader nodded, and then separated from Gu Chao and arranged their own patrols, although on the surface it was the same, but in the entire Zitong Pass, all the soldiers of the special operations battalion were nervous.

In order to prevent Zhang Xiu from sending someone to investigate, Gu Cheng also specially invited a Taoist priest to drive away the evil in Tao Ran's mansion, as for Tao Ran, in fact, after the soldiers of the special operations battalion forced him to ask for various information about Zitong Pass, he was tortured to death because he couldn't stand the torture.

Two days later, Ye Zhao received a message from Jia Mengguan.

"Zhang Xiu?" Ye Zhao looked at Zhao Wei beside him, this was an unfamiliar name.

Zhao Wei finally chose to surrender, and also agreed to Ye Zhao's help to connect with the Shuzhong family, but not participating in the dispute between Ye Zhao and Liu Yan can be regarded as loyalty to the old master.

"This person is the master of the Wudoumi Sect, he has a high status in the Bashu area, and is believed by the people. Zhao Wei looked at Ye Zhao with a complicated expression, he didn't expect that even Zitong Pass would be taken by Ye Zhao.

What's even more terrifying is that Zhang Xiu didn't even notice that the Zitong Pass had changed its owner, listening to the meaning of the person who came to report the news, Zhang Xiu obviously regarded the Hanzhong soldiers of Zitong Pass as the Shu army, and did not have the slightest suspicion.

is so useless, I am afraid that it will be calculated by Ye Zhao, once Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses are destroyed, Ye Zhao can wave his army at any time, Shu County does not dare to speak, but in this Bashu area, I am afraid that no one can stop Ye Zhao's soldiers, so that Ye Zhao's entry into Shu is a foregone conclusion, and this Shuzhong, which has just been stable for a long time, is afraid that it will encounter a new round of reshuffle!

"Ha~" Ye Zhao shook his head with a smile when he heard this: "If it weren't for the fact that General Ben arrived one step earlier, if Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses came, it would not be easy to break these three levels at that time!" ”

Zhao Wei did not respond, there is no if in this world, the fact is that now that the three levels have been obtained by Ye Zhao, Zhang Xiu is afraid that it will be difficult to escape Ye Zhao's calculations.

"Go back immediately, tell Gu Cheng, let that Zhang Xiu pass the pass, but after passing the pass, seal the city gate, prepare for war, cut off the retreat of Zhang Xiu, Guan Hai, you first take the air force back to Jiameng Pass to deploy, Ding Li, immediately pull out the camp, and prepare to meet the Shu army!" Ye Zhao got up and said.

"Whoa!"
