Footsteps sounded in the distance, and a group of men and horses appeared at the end of the official road, and the defenders at the head of the city hurriedly stood solemnly, looking over, but saw a group of soldiers and horses coming this way.
"Why did the general come back at this time?" The guards at the city gate saw the opponent's flag and armor, breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and signaled the soldiers to open the city gate.
After a few hundred steps, he saw the city gate of Yangping Pass slowly open, Wei Yan couldn't help but be stunned, he had prepared a lot of rhetoric before, and even specially forced a Hanzhong official to surrender, in order to open the city gate by fraud, and now it seems that it is really a superfluous move.
Turning his head and glancing at Yang Ren, the corners of Wei Yan's mouth pulled up a sneer of disdain, you must know that under the rule of Chang'an, any key pass, even if the main general returns to the city, must determine the identity, and only after the slogan can enter the city, in comparison, the defensive awareness of the Hanzhong army is really not ordinarily poor.
"The last general welcomes the general back to the customs!" Before everyone entered the city, a group of soldiers and horses had already come out of the city, but when they saw Wei Yan, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned and vigilant: "Who are you?" ”
The corners of Wei Yan's mouth twitched, and he said hesitantly: "Your grandfather! As soon as the words fell, the big knife in his hand had fallen, and in the blood splash, a human head flew up in the exclamation of the soldiers in Hanzhong, since the other party was defenseless, there was no need to go to the city again, and chopped off the head of the opponent's main general with a knife, Wei Yan pulled his war horse and shouted: "Soldiers, rush with me!" ”
"Kill!" Behind Wei Yan, a group of Qiang soldiers roared angrily, and many of them directly threw away the awkward armor on their bodies, and fiercely pounced on a group of Hanzhong soldiers who were at a loss.
"Enemy Attack~"
In the terrible scream, the Hanzhong soldiers who went out of the city wanted to retreat to the city in the face of the wolf-like Qiang soldiers, but they were soon annihilated, and the soldiers guarding the city gate in the rear wanted to close the city gate.
"I am the hussar general who sat down and broke the Qiang Zhonglang general Wei Yan, and the other main generals have been captured by me, and the heavenly soldiers will not be able to surrender soon!" After Wei Yan dragged the big knife backwards and ordered people to guard the city gate, Pegasus rushed into the city, the sword light danced wildly, but his mouth kept shouting.
The main general is nowhere to be found, the deputy general went out of the city to greet him, and was directly cut down, although there are still a lot of soldiers in Guanzhong, but at this moment, how can they still have the heart to fight again, many people directly kneel on the ground to ask for surrender, and some of them began to escape when they saw that the situation was not good, Wei Yan ordered people to guard the city gate, quickly occupy the city wall, and at the same time send a signal to Pang Tong.
"The general spares his life, I will wait for the surrender!" Seeing that the situation in the city was gradually becoming clear, many soldiers defending the city knelt on the ground one after another and asked Wei Yan to surrender.
The shouting and killing gradually stopped, and when the sky was completely dark, Pang Tong entered the pass with a large army, and Yangping Pass was completely occupied, which also represented that the door of Hanzhong was completely opened, and out of Yangping Pass, it was the Hanzhong Plain.
"Congratulations to the general on his victory, this time to pacify Hanzhong, the general should be the first to remember!" When Pang Tong saw Wei Yan again, he couldn't help but smile and arch his hand.
"Shi Yuan doesn't want to praise me, if it weren't for the fact that the defenders of Hanzhong were too pustuated and had no precautions, our army would not have been able to occupy Yangping Pass so smoothly." Wei Yan said with a smile.
It is understandable that Yang Ren was captured, but the defenders of Yangping Pass did not have the slightest vigilance, and they did not even open the city gate by themselves, except for the pus, Wei Yan didn't know how to describe these people, and bowed his hand to Pang Tong: "If it weren't for Shiyuan to persuade the Sanguan guards to surrender, our army would not have attacked the hinterland of Hanzhong so easily." ”
Pang Tong did not refute, because this is a fact, neither of them is the kind of person who is too modest, just a polite two sentences, too many people will feel uncomfortable, and immediately said with a solemn face: "Breaking through Yangping Pass is only the first step, you and I are not enough food and grass for this march, and there are only six thousand soldiers and horses, when the battle line is pushed to Nanzheng City as soon as possible, Zhang Lu can not be given too many opportunities to react, after a long time, Zhang Lu will recall soldiers and horses from all over the country to defend Hanzhong, the general will rest for one night, tomorrow you and I will go to Nanzheng, Zhang Lu is not a hero, Just coercion, in the know, it will be able to make it surrender without a fight. ”
"Just what I want!" Wei Yan laughed, and then said with a solemn face: "But I want to go out tonight, and rush to Nanzheng before dawn tomorrow, and the military division can arrive later, and I will leave Wei Yue here to defend the city." ”
Pang Tong was stunned when he heard this, nodded and said: "Since the general has this ambition, how about Pang give up his life to accompany him and go on the expedition with the general?" ”
"Good!" When Wei Yan heard this, he couldn't help but praise Pang Tong even more: "Wei Yue obeys orders!" ”
"The last general!" Wei Yue stepped forward and bowed.
"You have 500 people guarding the pass, Yangping Pass is the back road of our army, the people are locked up, and if the people die, the pass must also be there!" Wei Yan said sharply.
"The last general commands!" Wei Yue said solemnly.
"Soldiers, go on the march!" Wei Yan gave an order, and the army that had just entered Yangping Pass moved again.
……
As a prince, Zhang Lu is probably the most comfortable one among the princes of the world, the terrain in Hanzhong is dangerous, the passes are heavy, Zhang Lu himself is not the kind of person who is too ambitious, guarding his own one-third of an acre, just live a peaceful and stable life, as for the world......
If it weren't for Liu Zhang's bastard to kill his family, Zhang Lu would not have fought back, supported the army and self-respect, divided one side, when the sky was not completely dark, Zhang Lu had already rested early, as a Taoist disciple, Zhang Lu was well versed in the way of health preservation, made at sunrise and rested at sunset, compared to Hanzhong government affairs, he was more concerned about his Wudou rice sect.
In the second half of the night, when Zhang Lu was sleeping soundly, he was woken up by his housekeeper.
"Master, it's not good!" The butler's voice was sharp and poignant.
"Sir, what's going on?" Zhang Lu's wife woke up Zhang Lu with sleepy eyes and helped Zhang Lu put on his clothes.
"How do I know?" Zhang Lu put on his clothes with an unkind face, let his wife continue to rest, and pushed the door out with an unhappy face, but saw that outside the door, not only the housekeeper, but also Changshi Yanpu, Yang Bo, Yang Ang, Yang Song and others were already waiting outside the door, and couldn't help but be stunned: "You guys came here late at night, what happened?" ”
Yang Song knelt on the ground with a puff and said astringently: "Please save my brother!" ”
When Zhang Lu heard this, he glanced at Yang Bo and Yang Ang behind Yang Song, and said suspiciously: "General Yang is guarding Yangping Pass, what happened?" ”
The Yang family is a big family in Hanzhong, and many of Zhang Lu's subordinates are from the Yang family, seeing Yang Song crying bitterly, Zhang Lu hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said: "Uncle Yang, you can talk about it carefully." ”
"Yes!" Yang Bo bowed and said: "There are many Yangpingguan soldiers who fled back to Nanzheng, Yan Lu Bu's fierce general Wei Yan attacked Yangping Pass, my brother Yang Ren was calculated by Wei Yan, life and death do not know, Yangping Pass has now been occupied by Wei Yan, please send troops quickly and take back Yangping Pass!" Avenge my brother too! ”
"Lu Bu soldiers and horses, why did they appear in Yangping Pass?" Zhang Lu lost his voice and said, although Lu Bu has not moved troops to the Central Plains in the past five years, but as a neighbor, the business and trade between Hanzhong and Chang'an are continuous, and Zhang Lu has a deep understanding of the strength of Guanzhong, and for this reason, although there have been people who have been lobbying for an alliance to send troops since last year, Zhang Lu did not dare to move, for fear of annoying Lu Bu to attack directly, but he didn't expect to come, and he appeared directly outside Yangping Pass.
"I'm afraid that the guards have already descended!" Yan Pu sighed and said with a wry smile.
"This ......" Zhang Lu's face became ugly, and he asked after a long time: "Do you know how many soldiers and horses are coming from the other party?" ”
"Not yet proven." Yang Bo shook his head, he had just gotten the news, except for knowing that the other party had just broken through Yangping Pass not long ago, and everyone was also confused about other information.
"Quickly send someone to find out!" Zhang Lu didn't care much at the moment, looked at Yang Bo and Yang Ang brothers, and said in a deep voice: "The two generals will quickly mobilize troops and horses, and send troops to Yangping Pass early tomorrow morning, so as to recapture Yangping Pass." ”
"Whoa!" The generals hurriedly agreed and retired.
Zhang Lu returned to the room, but when he thought that Yangping Pass was broken, he was completely sleepy.
"Husband, what's going on?" Seeing Zhang Lu's gloomy face, Madame couldn't help asking.
Zhang Lu glanced at his wife, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Yangping Pass has been broken, and Lu Bu is calling." ”
"How's that okay?" When Mrs. heard this, she couldn't help but panic and said, Lu Bu's name is the best in Huanyu, especially when Hanzhong has opened trade with Lu Bu over the years, Guanzhong is strong and prosperous, and almost all women and children in Hanzhong know it.
"Let's take a look first, if we can recapture Yangping Pass, we can still deal with it." Zhang Lu shook his head.
"What if you can't take it back?" Mrs. nervously pulled Zhang Lu's arm and said.
"If you can't take it back......" Zhang Lu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, if the other party occupies Yangping Pass and can't recapture it in a short time, Guanzhong soldiers and horses will continue to come in from Yangping Pass, and Hanzhong will also have to be modified.
"Husband, it's better to surrender, I heard that the hussar general ......" Madame hesitated to persuade.
"A woman's opinion!" Zhang Lu's face turned dark, he hadn't fought yet, he was going to surrender, but he was also a prince all the way, and when he spread out, how could he save face?
Seeing Zhang Lu's ugly face, Mrs. didn't dare to say any more, Zhang Lu was upset, so she simply got up and went to the study.
There was no word all night, and the next morning, Zhang Lu convened a Han Chinese military meeting in the hall, and the soldiers and horses had been assembled, and only when Zhang Lu gave an order, he could send troops to Yangpingguan, but before Zhang Lu could give an order, a Southern Zheng Shou general rushed in quickly.
"Lord, it's not good!"
Zhang Lu frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" ”
"Back to the lord." A look of panic flashed on the guard's face, and he said to Zhang Lu: "Early this morning, a group of men and horses suddenly came from outside the city, look at the banner, it is Wei Yan, the general of the broken army under Lu Bu's tent!" ”
"What!?" When Zhang Lu heard this, his face turned pale, leaned on the back of the chair weakly, and muttered, "Why is it so fast?" (To be continued.) )
