At this time, the sun was getting westerly, the mountains were silent, and Yang Ren was shouting and asking, but he couldn't stop shedding two lines of hot tears in his red eyes.

Since he knew Gan Ning, he treated him wholeheartedly as a brother, but he never expected to be betrayed by this person who regarded him as a brother today. The sadness that can't be stopped for a while in my heart will lead to tears in a daze.

Seeing this, Gan Ning knew that he was failing others, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Yang! You can listen to Gan's explanation. I ......"

"Enough!" Yang Ren interrupted Gan Ning's words sharply, but raised his gun on the dangerous road and shouted at Gan Ning, "Lao Tzu has never seen you, and today Lao Tzu has been ambushed, so don't talk nonsense, you can wait for the horse to come over, and Lao Tzu will follow it alone." ”

He was betrayed by those he believed in, and in the midst of great sorrow and anger, he was already determined to fight against the crossbow of hosts with a small amount of strength.

Xu Chu, who was on the side of Gan Ning, saw that he was dying but he was still tough, and he was cold when he heard the words, "Hmph!" With a sound, he stepped forward with his knife.

Seeing this, Gan Ning hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and shouted: "Zhongkang is slow!" This man treats me well, and it's not too late for me to talk to him more. ”

Saying that, Gan Ning turned his head and shouted to Yang Ren: "Brother Yang! You listen to me......"

"Shut up!" Yang Ren didn't wait for Gan Ning to finish speaking, and he pointed a gun at Gan Ning's sharp voice, "You are just relying on the caution of betraying others to climb up, what qualifications do you have to call Yang a brother?" ”

Gan Ning was originally a hot-tempered person, and he wanted to kill people at every turn. He was rudely interrupted by Yang Ren twice in a row, and he was even verbally insulted by him before the army.

How can this heart not be angry? Hearing this, he opened the mountain and broken river halberd in his hand with angry eyes, held it hard and slowly lifted it, and his eyes were even more fierce.

Yang Ren saw that his body suddenly had a murderous intent on him, and the cold aura surged out from his body, coming straight to him. But he glared back with fearless anger, and also pointed the sharp tip of the spear at Gan Ning.

The two looked at each other for a long time, although Gan Ning was irritable, he was a reasonable person after all. Thinking to himself: "This matter is hidden from others first, no wonder Yang Ren!" ”

Thinking of this, the murderous intent in his heart suddenly disappeared, and the halberd in his hand was slowly put down again, and the cold murderous aura on his body also dissipated.

At this time, if Gan Ning wanted to kill Yang Ren, it would be easy. This place is in danger, as long as Gan Ning gives an order, these five thousand ghost soldiers and Yang Ren will all be buried under the arrows of ten thousand armies in an instant.

However, Gan Ning felt that Yang Ren treated each other with great affection, and wanted to save his life, so he naturally didn't want to order him to be shot. It's just that Yang Ren's emotions are so excited that he doesn't want to listen to him at this moment, which really makes Gan Ning in a dilemma.

Gan Ning looked at Yang Ren, who was holding a gun with red eyes, and suddenly saw the five thousand ghost soldiers behind him, all of whom were staring at him with frightened eyes, looking at himself and Yang Ren with a smile.

Only at this moment, Gan Ning remembered the situation when Hua Fei surrendered himself under the city of Jiangzhou that day. Gan Ning thought secretly: "This Yang Ren and himself are under the same care, why don't you persuade him according to the gourd painting?" ”

Thinking of this, Gan Ning looked at Yang Ren in the cool breeze and said something in his heart.

Gan Ning felt that the reason why Yang Ren was excited was because he regarded himself as a brother in his heart, and because he felt that he was not worthy of being his brother.

Therefore, you should no longer stimulate him. Thinking about it, he was in front of the army, and called out by his name: "Yang Ren! ”

Sure enough, Gan Ling didn't call him a brother, and Yang Ren just said coldly, "Hmph!" He stopped answering, but he didn't interrupt Gan Ning's words again.

Gan Ning, who was finally able to talk to Yang Ren at the moment, was about to speak, but Xu Chu on the side saw that the army had gained the upper hand, but Gan Ning repeatedly relented to Yang Ren who was in a weak position, and Yang Ren was even more lame as if he was the one who had the advantage.

Nai angrily waved his knife and shouted to Gan Ning: "Xingba! It's not early, I don't know how many times you pleaded with me in order to spare his life, and since he is bent on death, you simply fulfill him, so why bother with him again and again? ”

Yang Ren was moved when he heard this, and it was only then that he knew why the enemy army had clearly taken the advantage, but he did not fire a bow to himself and the army.

He always thought that the enemy army wanted to capture himself and the ghosts alive, but now he realized that the feelings were all because of Gan Ning's intercession for himself.

Thinking of this, Yang Ren secretly thought: "It turns out that Brother Gan is not a ruthless and unrighteous person, he still has some brotherly affection for Lao Tzu!" ”

Gan Ning, who stopped Xu Chu at this time, persuaded Yang Ren with the life and death of five thousand ghost soldiers according to Hua Fei's method of dealing with him that day.

Gan Ning was not mistaken, Yang Ren led the troops like a father and a brother. When he saw the brothers under his command who got along day and night, those five thousand pairs of eyes were all looking at him, and he could decide their life and death with one word, his heart was finally no longer stubborn.

On that day, Yang Ren asked his subordinates to lay down their weapons and accept the incorporation of Gan Ning and others. But after glancing at Gan Ning with complicated eyes, he jumped down the cliff, preparing to die.

Fortunately, Gan Ning saw his lifeless eyes, and he had already made preparations in his heart to add his halberd with a hook. Only then did in the exclamation of the army, he poked out the halberd in time and hooked Yang Ren who jumped off the cliff.

Seeing this, Xu Chu hurriedly abandoned the knife and dragged Yang Ren forward, and then tied him firmly with the army, and even stuffed a ball of cloth in his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide. As a result, Yang Ren's entire army was wiped out in the dangerous road of Sword Pavilion.

At this time, the county town of Dangde, which was guarded by only a thousand soldiers, had already been taken by Tai Shici and Xu Shu in one fell swoop under the response of Xu Shu's guards in the city.

Chang Qi didn't have Yang Ren's toughness, as soon as he saw more than 10,000 enemy troops breaking through the city, he immediately wittily led his subordinates to abandon their weapons to survive. Because of this, under the arrows of Tai Shi Ci, who galloped to the horse, he picked up a small life.

After Xu Shu took Dangde County, he immediately ordered Tai Shici to lead the crowd to occupy the key crossing in the south of Dangde, but he immediately started a conversation with Changqi.

That night, I learned from Chang Qi that Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, although he occupied Hanzhong, the land of fish and rice, but because of the short time, he only had more than 30,000 soldiers who could fight.

After thinking about it for a long time, I have a plan in my heart. It was after receiving an urgent report from Gan Ning and Xu Chu that Yang Ren's army had been captured, and had successfully handed over to Chen Zhi.

Immediately, people reported the situation in Dangde County and their own plans to Huafei in Langzhong. And ordered Gan and Xu Er to lead the army to come back to Dangde County.

Those who are ready to gather more than 20,000 troops in Dangde County will give Zhang Wei of Jiameng County, who is still leading 10,000 defenders, to make a big move. Use the living force of the enemy army to kill and damage to the greatest extent to force Zhang Lu in Hanzhong into an unfavorable disadvantage.

And at this time, Huafei after the soldiers entered Langzhong. After several long talks with Yan Yan, Zhang Ren and others, I learned about the situation that was similar to what I expected.

It turned out that Hua Fei had always felt that Zhang Lu's strength in Hanzhong would not be too low. Because according to Hua Fei's speculation, the deceased Liu Yan was by no means a monarch who allowed others to do whatever he wanted.

This can be clearly seen from his decisive massacre, the heroes Jia Long and others and the Yizhou wealthy clan. Then if Zhang Lu's strength was not strong, it would be impossible for him to have the audacity to kill Liu Yan's cronies Zhang Xiu.

It is even more impossible that after killing Liu Yan's confidant Zhang Xiu, there was nothing to do, so he took the position of Hanzhong Taishou from Liu Yan's hands.

However, from the bright side, Zhang Lu, who is sitting in Hanzhong, only has more than 30,000 elite soldiers, but Liu Yan has more than 100,000 soldiers. Hua Fei keenly guessed that there must be something greasy in this.

Some people may think that this is because Zhang Lu's mother has some relationship with Liu Yan, so Liu Yan is merciful to Zhang Lu's subordinates for the sake of Zhang Lu's mother.

However, Hua Fei felt that things were definitely not so simple. What's more, there is another problem that can show that things are really not so simple.

That's why after Liu Yan left, Liu Zhang, who also owned Yizhou, was forced to ask Liu Bei for help by Zhang Lu, who was just the lord of a county and had neither a super military advisor nor a fierce general in the world?

This time, there is no relationship with Zhang Lu's mother, but why is this so? Hua Fei confirmed the facts he vaguely guessed from the mouths of Yan Yan and others.

That is, in Zhang Lu's hands, it is very likely that he has a terrible military force that was called "divine soldiers" by the world at that time. And these terrible people live in Yizhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Huafei.

When Hua Fei confirmed this, he instantly understood Zhang Lu's plan, not just to save Zitong County, he had a farther, bigger, and more terrifying goal.

Hua Fei quickly made adjustments to this matter. Because Yan Yanjiu Town is very prestigious in the local area, Hua Fei ordered Yan Yan to quickly lead the 5,000 headquarters to restore the town ditch.

and ordered Wu Xu, who was already sitting in the ditch, to listen to Yan Yan's command. Hua Fei ordered the army of more than 8,000 people on these two roads to be ready to march north along the water of the ditch and enter the Micang Mountain to pose a threat to Hanzhong.

In addition, he hurriedly sat in Lusu in Chengdu, and sent Bingyuan to re-enter Jingzhou to tell Liu Biao in Jingzhou, so that his troops could go out of Nanxiang and take the opportunity to collect Shangyong and other places, so as to threaten the east of Hanzhong.

At the same time, he warned Lu Su to pay attention to preventing the big clans in Shuzhong, so as to prevent the big clans from taking advantage of the opportunity to change because of Huafei's implementation of the land system reform and infringing on their interests.

Later, in order to smash Zhang Lu's conspiracy, Hua Fei ordered Zhang Ren and He Man to lead troops to defend Langzhong. However, he ordered Wei Yan to dispatch 1,000 elite guards and bring a large number of military doctors.

He went with him to one of the places where the "Divine Soldiers" lived, in the upper reaches of the Jialing River, a small place called Yushui, but visited the "Divine Soldiers".

Almost at the same time as Huafei left, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong also received the first urgent report from Zhang Wei, knowing that Zhang Wei's army had successfully taken Jiameng Pass and controlled the upper reaches of the Jialing River that could go east to Langzhong.

Because Zhang Wei asked Zhang Lu to give clear instructions as soon as possible on his next military action. Zhang Lu and Yan Pu immediately sent Ben gifts to Bazhong, Danqu and other places to launch, and launched a plan against Shuzhong.

At the same time, Zhang Lu ordered Zhang Wei to prepare more ships, ready to lead the army down the river and attack the interior of Shuzhong at any time.

In addition, Zhang Lu ordered Yang Bai, a general, to lead 5,000 troops to the area of Micang Mountain, and also prepared many ships to prepare to go south from the ditch water to the interior of Shuzhong.

At Yan Pu's suggestion, Zhang Lu recruited more than 20,000 new ghost soldiers in the Hanzhong area to make up for the emptiness of Hanzhong's troops.

In the early morning of May 24 in the summer, when Xu Shu of Dexian County was ready, he immediately led an army of more than 20,000 troops to launch an operation against Jiameng County, which is known as the gateway to northern Sichuan. (To be continued.) )
