On May 23, after listening to Gan Ning's suggestion, Yang Ren immediately ordered the five thousand ghost soldiers under his command to gather immediately and prepare to set off for the Sword Pavilion.

And commanded Gan Ning: "Brother Gan, you can also go and prepare quickly, and after Yang goes to see Zhang Wei, you and I will lead the troops to set off." With that, he led his own guards and hurriedly went to the county government to ask to see Zhang Wei.

Gan Ning agreed in the cool breeze, and watched Yang Ren leave with his fists in his hands, but his heart was so happy that it seemed like it was about to explode, and even the cicada chirping, which he had always found annoying, seemed unusually pleasant at this moment.

At that moment, Gan Ning rushed back, and hurriedly ordered the seven hundred brothers under his command to quickly pack up and prepare for action; Bian quickly used his brain, thinking about how to try to inform Tai Shici and others of the information that the enemy army had moved during the march.

But it was said that before Yang Ren came to the county government in a hurry, Zhang Wei's personal guard was far away from him, stretched out his hand and said loudly: "Hey! I said Yang Da Sacrificial Wine, why are you here again? ”

Yang Ren heard the words of this guard, and knew that even he was annoyed by himself, but he was cold in his heart, "Hmph!" With a sound, he waved his hand to the guards and said, "You can go and report for me, and you will say that I am Yang Ren......"

"Hey!" Before Yang Ren's words were finished, the guard had already paused and complained, "Why don't you understand?" Zhang Shuai, he doesn't want to see you. ”

"Shut up!" Yang Ren was interrupted by him, and he was angry, so he raised his voice and shouted, "You just have to listen to Lao Tzu, what are you talking about?" ”

"I want to interject you!" The guards had good intentions but suffered for no reason, but they secretly scolded Yang Ren's dog for biting Lu Dongbin in his heart, and he didn't know the hearts of good people! But he obediently shut up and lowered his head to himself, "Let's listen to what he has to say first?" It's never too late to bother with it. ”

It turned out that Gan Ning suggested that if Zhang Wei did not want to see him, he could reveal a little important military information to his personal guards, and only said that it was a matter of life and death for his own army, and it would be up to him Zhang Wei to see if he would receive it.

When Yang Ren said this, he bluffed the guards so much that his face turned white.

When the guards heard this, they thought to themselves: "What is life and death, so serious?" If Lao Tzu doesn't report this kind of thing, if something really happens, won't even Lao Tzu have to burn jade? ”

Thinking about it, he hurriedly said to Yang Ren: "Wait for the big sacrificial wine, and my subordinates will go to report to Zhang Shuai immediately." As he spoke, he walked towards the inside of the county government and rushed away.

Yang Ren was outside the county government, secretly thinking about what would happen if Zhang Wei saw him for a while? What if you don't see yourself?

It was just a moment before the guard stepped down and shouted, "Great sacrifice wine!" Zhang Shuai ordered you to enter, please hurry up. Bian hurriedly ran out and invited Yang Ren to enter.

As soon as Yang Yi entered the county office, he saw that Zhang Weizheng was conceited and began to turn in a hurry. As soon as Zhang Wei saw Yang Ren entering, he hurriedly asked, "Yang Ren!" What is it that is so serious that it is related to the life and death of our army? ”

"Handsome" Yang Ren hugged his fist at Zhang Wei and said, "You should know that not far from the southwest of Jiameng County, there is the Sword Pavilion. ”

"So what?" Zhang Wei said in surprise when he heard this.

Yang Ren secretly laughed at his unscrupulous plan in his heart, but he clenched his fists and said loudly: "The Sword Pavilion has a dangerous mountain road, which is thirty miles long. This place has been difficult to travel since ancient times, if our army does not occupy such a dangerous place first, in case Zitong County is broken, this place will be occupied by the enemy first. ”

When Zhang Wei heard this, his heart was fiercely a "Kaden!" But Yang Ren continued: "If this is the case, if Shijun arrives and we march into Zitong County, then our army will inevitably experience an extremely tragic battle, and we may not be able to take this place." ”

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "On the contrary, if our army can occupy this place first, it will have the advantage of terrain that can be attacked, retreated, defended, advanced and retreated. And if you can take this place, you don't have to worry about the enemy army coming out of this place, and follow the Jialing River to the north, forming a two-way attack on our Jiameng County. ”

At this time, Zhang Wei and the others did not know that Zitong County had already fallen into the hands of Hua Fei. Under such circumstances, Yang Ren's words can be said to be beneficial and harmless to Zhang Lujun.

When Zhang Wei heard this, he was immediately speechless. Seeing this, Yang Ren was in a hurry, so he urged again: "The soldier is fast!" The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, I hope Zhang Shuai can make up your mind as soon as possible, if you hesitate again, you are afraid that it will be too late to regret! ”

"But!" Zhang Wei was urged by him, but he reluctantly opened his voice, "Brother asked me to just guard Jiameng County and wait for his order." If we act on our own without an order, I am afraid that we will not be scolded. ”

When Yang Ren heard this, he knew that it was not that Zhang Wei did not want to enter the army, but that Zhang Lu had already given strict orders. For Zhang Lu, Yang Ren has always respected him abnormally, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart.

Yang Ren lowered his head and muttered for a while, before he asked Zhang Wei again, "Do you know why Shijun ordered him like this?" ”

"I don't know!" Zhang Wei stretched out his hands to Yang Ren and said in his heart, "Do you think Lao Tzu doesn't want to know?" Brother, he refused to say it clearly, you came to ask me, but I asked who to go? ”

Yang Ren was in a dilemma, and he thought to himself: "If you don't take this Sword Pavilion now, it will be difficult to take it in the future." However, he didn't dare to disobey Zhang Lu's orders.

However, he thought to himself: "Shijun, he is far away in Hanzhong after all, how can he be considered a last resort for the situation on the battlefield?" If Shi Jun miscalculated, and he was worried about being blamed and caused a big deal, wouldn't he be even more sorry for Shi Jun? ”

Thinking about it, he made a decision in his heart. Nai said to Zhang Wei: "Ren thinks that Shijun must have other plans in his heart when he arranges it like this. ”

"Do you need to say that? Lao Tzu also knows that his brother has other plans, but the problem is that he doesn't know what his plans are? ”

Zhang Ren was angry when he heard this, but he heard Yang Ren continue: "However, Ren thought that the master ordered us to guard Jiameng County, mainly because he was worried that Jiameng Town would be lost. ”

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "But we are now waiting for more than 15,000 ghost soldiers, plus the 5,000 ghost soldiers of the rear army are also coming. With such a large number of men, it is enough to defend this county without losing. ”

Saying that, Yang Ren saw Zhang Wei nodding, and continued: "Therefore, Ren suggested that Zhang Shuai can lead the headquarters to defend the town of Jiameng County, and Ren will lead the headquarters to take down the Sword Pavilion quickly. In this way, it will not violate the original intention of the master, and the two armies can become horns against each other. ”

Zhang Wei's heart was moved when he heard this! Of course, he knew that Yang Ren was right, as long as Jiameng County was not lost, the Sword Pavilion could advance or retreat, attack or defend.

He was muttering when he suddenly heard Yang Ren say again: "Zhang Shuai, don't worry, if in the future, Shijun blames me for acting without an order, and I am willing to bear this heavy responsibility alone!" ”

Zhang Wei was moved when he heard this! Yang Ren has such insight and such a responsible mind, but how can he not be moved.

At that moment, he waved his hand to Yang Ren and said.

"It doesn't have to be like this! As the saying goes, 'There will be no disapproval of the king's life outside!' 'You can lead the army to occupy the Sword Pavilion on the one hand, and I will report to Hanzhong urgently, if my brother does not suck, it is not too late for you to lead the army back. ”

In this way, Yang Ren and Zhang Wei did not know that Zitong County had been lost, in order to occupy the main road of the Sword Pavilion first, they fell for Gan Ning's plan to lure the enemy out of the city.

On the same day, after Yang Ren returned from receiving the order, he urgently summoned Gan Ning to come and ordered him to lead 700 of his subordinates as the front, but he and Changqi led 5,000 ghost pawns to follow.

Perhaps Yang Ren's life should not be extinguished, Gan Ning is trying his best to inform Tai Shici and others of the military situation of the enemy army out of the city during the march.

Unexpectedly, Yang Ren trusted him, and because he thought that Gan Ning was the original subordinate of Zitong County, he knew the path well, and he actually made him the front.

If you want to say that this man's heart is good, it is all flesh.

After receiving the order, Gan Ning lowered his head and thought to himself: "This Yang Ren is extremely bold, and he has completely regarded Lao Tzu as a brother in the past few days. It's just that he will inevitably be ambushed when he goes to the Sword Pavilion. ”

Thinking about it, Gan Ning thought again: "It's a pity! At the moment, each is his own master, but he can't care about it. Besides, this Yang Ren is not happy to work under Zhang Wei, it is better to surrender to him at that time, at least save his life. ”

There was some inadequacy in his heart: "It's a pity that Zhang Wei didn't go with him, and only sent Yang Ren to the Sword Pavilion, but there are still more than 10,000 elite soldiers guarding the town in this county, but how can I take it down?" ”

Gan Ning had countless thoughts in his mind in an instant. In the end, he still decided to eat the five thousand ghost pawns of Yang Ren first, and then it was not too late to make other plans.

So, Gan Ningnai shouted the order and left. On that day, Gan Ning led seven hundred subordinates to take the lead, and Yang Ren led five thousand ghost pawns to leave Jiameng County and move forward quickly towards the Sword Pavilion.

But it is said that in the area of Sword Pavilion, there is also a small county town at this time, called Dangde County. Later, it was renamed the city of Hande County by Zhuge Liang.

At this time, Tai Shi Ci and Xu Chu were stationed here, and Xu Shu, who was ordered to take charge of the war in the southwest, had also led 7,000 mountain elite soldiers to arrive. The total strength of Dangde County was as high as more than 24,000 people for a time, but the county was surrounded by water.

At this time, Xu Shu, who had just arrived, was in the county office, discussing with Tai Shici and Xu Chu what a good way to get in touch with Gan Ning, who was deep in the enemy's army.

But suddenly, a guard shouted "Report!" The word rushed in, and went straight to Xu Shu's face, clenching his fists and shouting.

"Lord Xu Yicao, General Gan is urgent, there are currently more than 15,000 troops under the command of the enemy Zhang Wei in Jiameng County, and there are more than 5,000 soldiers coming soon, and now the vanguard general of the enemy army, Yang Ren, is already in the ...... of General Gan."

However, it turned out that after Gan Ning left Jiameng County, he took the opportunity of the sentry to quickly come to Dangde County to report the enemy's situation, so that his army could prepare early. At the same time, he also informed his brothers not to show mercy to this Yang Ren's subordinates.

Xu Shu was overjoyed when he heard the news! "Smack! The case was slapped, and the sword in his right hand commanded loudly: "Xu Chu listens to the order!" ”

Xu Chu, who was standing with a sword on the side, heard that Xu Shu did not call Tai Shici's name first this time, but ordered his general first. I couldn't help but feel so excited that my eyebrows opened, my eyes smiled, and I jumped out with a big grin.

Xu Shu looked at his posture and exclaimed: "It's not good! Just as he was about to reach out and cover his ears, it was too late.

"The last general!" Xu Chu opened his mouth and let out a tiger roar, which shook the dust of this ancient and simple county government "swishing" and falling vigorously.

Xu Shu was so shocked that he rolled his eyes, raised his eyes and looked around, only to feel that in his ears, it was "buzzing", as if countless small bees had run in.

"Shaft! You're really lightning fast! ”

Xu Shu couldn't help but secretly sneered at Xu Chu, who had a loud voice, but he didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly ordered: "Order you to lead an army of 10,000 and quickly go to the main road south of the Sword Pavilion with me to set up an ambush, wait to answer Gan Ning, and ambush Yang Ren." ”

After speaking, Xu Shu hurriedly stretched out his hands and covered his ears, and continued: "Attention! Try not to hurt Yang Ren's life, and immediately send someone to report to Chen Zhi of Zitong County that he knew about it, so that he could lead the army to respond. ”

Xu Chu looked at Xu Shu's posture, and also knew that it was because his voice was too loud that he couldn't stand it, so he hugged his fists and replied softly: "The last general will take the order!" ”

But Xu Shu, who couldn't hear the sound and could only see his mouth move, was stunned. Fortunately, he had excellent intelligence and reacted instantly.

He put down his hands and stopped Xu Chu who turned around and was about to run out to order troops. But he muttered for a while, and then shouted again: "Zhongkang! After you set up an ambush for Yang Ren, if you don't have my order, you can continue to lead the army to ambush, and you can't act rashly. (To be continued.) )
