On the eighteenth day of May in the summer, Hua Feijun went to Liu Yan's hometown to govern Mianzhu, and saw that Mianzhu had been burned by the heavenly fire, so he immediately ordered the army to be stationed between the two mountains, claiming to wait for the arrival of the army's grain and grass, and preparing to order the army to start cleaning up the ruins and repairing Mianzhu.

At the same time, he ordered the army to secretly set up more banners, and falsely claimed to be 50,000 people with 30,000 people, so as to deter the military morale of Dong Fu's subordinates.

Mianzhu to Zitong County is about more than 100 miles away, during which there are many ravines and ravines, and the plank road is connected in the middle, the road here is very winding and rugged and difficult to travel, commonly known as the Golden Bull Ancient Road.

And after Dong Fu expelled the envoy sent by Hua Fei, he himself knew that Hua Fei, whose power had risen sharply, would definitely not give up and let him occupy the military important Zitong County.

He had already sent someone to Hanzhong in a hurry to negotiate with Zhang Lu. Explain that if his Zitong County is lost, then Zhang Lu's Hanzhong County will also lose the barrier in the southwest, and face the truth that Hanzhong County will inevitably be dangerous when it faces the greatly increased Huafei forces.

Ask Zhang Lu to send soldiers and horses to help him and jointly fight against this evil force from Chengdu.

On the one hand, he divided the army into 5,000 urgent orders and his powerful henchmen commanded them to guard the dangerous pass from Mianzhu to Zitong County.

On May 19, the weather gradually turned hot, and Dong Fu, who learned that Hua Fei personally led an army of 50,000 soldiers to Mianzhu, only felt that his whole body was cold.

Although he is famous in Shu, he is just a scribe after all. When he heard that Hua Fei's good fighting strength was exhausted, and the number of troops was more than twice as large as his own, how could he not be surprised.

When Dong Fuzheng was nervous, the messenger he sent to Hanzhong to help him a few days ago brought back good news.

It turned out that Zhang Lu of Hanzhong was ordered by Liu Yan to help Liu Yan's other Sima Zhang Xiu, and after the army attacked and killed the original Hanzhong Taishou Sugu, he killed Zhang Xiu and unified his people.

Liu Yan saw his momentum, but he named him the Taishou of Hanzhong County to appease him. He also ordered him to help him kill the imperial envoy and cut off the communication between Chengdu and Chang'an.

And since Liu Yan's death, Liu Zhang killed Zhang Lu's mother and younger brother, and Zhang Lu has known as the heart of the West to take Shuzhong. On the same day, after receiving Dong Fu's request for help, Zhang Lu immediately summoned Gong Cao Yanpu and others to discuss the matter.

This Yan Pu is a native of Anhan, Brazil, known for his wisdom in the township, and later for Zhang Lu's expedition to seclusion, and he was relied on by Zhang Lu. Hearing this, he persuaded Zhang Ludao.

"Shuzhong is the country of abundance, and Shijun has always wanted to take it. However, Liu Yan was scruples about Shi Jun in Japan, and after Liu Yan went, Dong Fu led troops to refuse the main road. Today's luck is that Dong Fu sent an envoy to ask for help, why didn't Shijun take the opportunity to send troops to help under the pretext of sending troops to help him, and then make other plans? ”

Zhang Lu was overjoyed when he heard this, and urgently summoned Dong Fu's envoy to meet him.

After the envoy arrived, Zhang Lu said to the envoy: "After discussing with the generals, I feel that Dong Fujun's words are reasonable. ”

Saying that, he groaned slightly, and waved his hand to the envoy: "In this way, you can quickly go back and tell Dong Fujun, saying that I will send my brother Zhang Wei as a general on the same day, and lead 20,000 troops to Zitong County to help him resist Huafei's army." You can quickly prepare Dong Fujun for the arrival of reinforcements. ”

The envoy was overjoyed when he heard this, and he thanked Zhang Lu again and again, and if he didn't dare to report the great kindness, it was like the water of the Han River.

Zhang Lu secretly sneered in his heart, but he also did enough to personally send the messenger out of the city without mentioning it.

Dong Fu, who was in a state of shock, got the good news of the messenger, and laughed loudly with "hahaha" in the sky. laughed like an old owl crying at night, but suddenly the breath of "uh ......" didn't catch it, but almost returned to the west.

Fortunately, the guards around him found out in time when they heard the sound. Nai hurriedly grabbed his chest and raised his palm to the back of this old thing, "popping", it was a good slap, and he slapped out a mouthful of old phlegm, so that Dong Fu's old life was saved in time.

Unexpectedly, Dong Fugang gasped for breath twice, but pointed at the life-saving benefactor with a halberd, and said angrily in a discolored voice: "Shaft! You slapped the old man so hard, did you want to shoot the old man to death? Get out of the way! ”

The guard was furious in his heart, but he had nothing to do, so he had to scold secretly with hatred in his heart: "Lao Tzu shouldn't be troublesome, come to save you, choke you to death Lao Wang Ba deserves it!" ”

When he was scolding and retreating, he saw Dong Fu pointing to the southwest with a halberd, and laughed wildly: "Hua Fei erected, the power of the soldiers in vain, and now the old man has the help of 20,000 male soldiers who guard Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, I think you can help the old man?" ”

After laughing, he was anxious to arrange the house, prepare food and grass, and dare not offend the reinforcements; On the one hand, he was worried that Zitong County would send 5,000 elite soldiers to help defend the Golden Bull Ancient Road before reinforcements arrived.

On the morning of May 20, Wei Yan, the forward general under Hua Fei's command, led the newly formed 7,000 mountain elves under his command, and suddenly appeared in front of the ancient road pass.

It frightened the leading cronies sent by Dong Fu and the 5,000 troops under his command.

It was the sun shining brightly, and the ape was crying. The red-faced Wei Yan saw that the enemy had already prepared, so he was furious and swung his sword under the pass, scolding and fighting.

Seeing its might, the defenders were guarding the pass while sending people to report to Dong Fu urgently. Wei Yan saw that the defenders did not come out, and rushed to the pass several times, but the mountains and roads were dangerous, and they were all shot back by the defenders' arrows.

In the afternoon of the same day, in the midst of the banners, the army under Hua Fei's command arrived one after another. Tai Shici, Chen Zhi, Xu Chu and other fierce generals each led troops to the pass and took turns insulting and scolding.

When the dangerous defenders saw these fierce generals coming out of battle, and saw the large number of enemy troops, they were all secretly frightened. But relying on the advantage of the terrain, he just guarded the pass and ignored it.

Tai Shici and others scolded for almost a day, but the defenders closed their ears and mouths, and fought without passing to death, so they had no choice but to collect their troops and return by themselves.

In the evening, the defenders suddenly heard the bells and drums at the pass, and shouted loudly. Nai hurriedly looked at it, but saw countless elite soldiers rushing to the front of the pass with the two of them in their hands.

At this time, the sun was getting westerly, and the army suddenly saw a person coming out, and he raised his whip under the pass: "Brothers on the pass, listen to the truth, I am Hua Fei, who has just recently led the Yizhou pastor." ”

"What? He's that Hua Fei......"

"Oh my God, why did he come in person......"

"Ann? Turtle son, let me take a look at what Hua Fei looks like......"

When the guards at the pass heard Hua Fei himself, they immediately blew up their nests, chattering and chattering, and rushed to the front of the pass one after another, vying to see Hua Fei's true face.

But Hua Fei shouted loudly again: "I know that you came to guard this pass because you were forced to come, and you were forced to come by Dong Fu's careerist. ”

As he spoke, he paused slightly and pointed to the army behind him, and continued to shout: "The more than 50,000 troops behind me are all good fighters who have survived a hundred battles, and with such a small number of troops, they will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of our army." ”

"Oh my God! More than 50,000 people, I ......"

"It's all ...... a hundred battles"

When the guards heard this, the sound of discussion rose again, and the pass was full of panicked sounds. Dong Fu's cronies hurriedly attracted people and shouted continuously.

But I heard Hua Fei shout again: "I, Hua Fei, don't want everyone to shed blood and casualties, I promise you, as long as you abandon your weapons and surrender, I will treat you and others well, not only Hao You are not guilty, but also let you go home to reunite with your family." ”

"Ann? Is what he said true......"

"Lao Tzu, this can't be wrong, Lao Tzu heard that this Huafei army is extremely disciplined, and it is always a ...... who treats prisoners well."

"Your turtle son doesn't want to fool me, I haven't seen my wife for a long time......"

At this moment, another person came out and shouted: "My brothers in Shu, I am Liu Zhang and Liu Jiyu." I assure you, what Hua Envoy Jun said is all true, don't you see that I will be fine? ”

Liu Zhang stretched his neck and swallowed his saliva, and then raised his whip and shouted: "Now we are going to distribute fields in Shuzhong, which are divided according to heads, and your parents and wives are young, but they are all at home, waiting for you to go back and help farm." ”

Liu Zhang, as the old lord of Yizhou, said this, and the defenders on the pass were in chaos. Countless guards shouted, and they were about to abandon their weapons and surrender.

However, Dong Fu's cronies had no choice but to lead the army to supervise the war when they saw that the situation was not good, and killed dozens of people in a row, which stopped the chaos.

On that day, Hua Fei shouted at the pass again: "Brothers! Now someone is coercing you, don't be in a hurry to surrender first, as long as you don't resist when our army attacks the pass tomorrow, I, Huafei, will also lead everyone's affection, and today's promise will still be fulfilled tomorrow. ”

After shouting, Hua Fei pointed out the people who were supervising the battle with the horsewhip in his hand, and ordered in a loud voice: "The whole army listens to the order, collects the army and returns to the village, and the whole army will take the pass early tomorrow morning." ”

That night, Dong Fu in Zitong County received three urgent reports from his confidants and cronies in a row. (To be continued.) )
