A huge battle circle has been formed in Deyang, although Jia Long and Chen Lin did not march in the same way, but both of them came from the north, the west is Zhang Ren and Huang Quan's two Liu Yan's army, the south is straight up Zhou Qun and Qin Mi's soldiers and horses, and the east of Mapo is adjacent to Deyang City is Zhang Lu himself. As the soldiers and horses of various units gradually approached Mapo, all parties were more cautious, and couldn't help but slow down, and even Liu Fan's 3,000 soldiers and horses who came in Qianwei saw that they were about to catch up with Huang Quan's army. Chen Lin sent troops to Deyang because he didn't want Liu Yan to eliminate Zhang Lu, so as not to make Liu Yan strong and form a dominant situation in the future.

On this day, the army was only a day's journey from Mapo, and the scouts reported that Jia Long's soldiers and horses were less than five miles to the east and went straight down with Chen Lin. Suddenly, the scout returned quickly, saying that it was a letter from Chengdu, Chen Lin was overjoyed, and said to Jia Xu and others: "Haha, it must be Yuanxiong." Hurriedly summoned the scout, but after the scout handed over the letter to Chen Lin, he saw Chen Lin's expression first happy, and then extremely shocked, as if something made Chen Lin difficult to accept for a while. After reading the letter, Chen Lin couldn't help but take a few steps back, almost unsteady on his feet, Huang Yan hurriedly wanted to hold on. Huang Yan supported the retreating Chen Lin with his strong hands, and everyone stood up with a loss of color, looking at Chen Lin, wondering what was going on. Chen Lin looked back at Huang Yan who was holding him and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing." Then he handed the letter to Jia Xu, and Jia Xu also took it heavily, Jia Xu thought that Wu Ban had an accident in Chengdu, if this was really the case, the matter would be big. When Jia Xu looked at the letter after the result, his face suddenly changed, which provoked Chen to Cai Yang and hurriedly asked: "Oh, what the hell is the matter with the lord (eldest brother) military advisor, I'm waiting for it." ”

Jia Xu looked up at Chen Lin, Chen Lin nodded, and Jia Xu dared to say: "The letter was written by Yuanxiong, saying that the Wu family in Chengdu City has agreed to vote for the lord, and now they are planning to go out of the city." It's just that Wu Ziyuan, the head of the Wu family, said one thing, Deyang Zhang Gongqi is a fake traitorous state pastor. ”

"False rebellion?" Including Huang Yan and others, they shouted out almost in unison. Chen Lin said: "Yes, Ziyuan also said that this is just a trap set by the state pastor to wipe out all the forces in Shuzhong, and now there are not many soldiers and horses in Chengdu City." It can be seen that after the two armies of Zhang Ren and Huang Gongheng, there is also an army of more than 10,000 people who don't know where to hide, just waiting for me to enter the circle. "What a Liu Junlang, Chen Lin thought to himself.

Cai Yang's mouth was quick and shouted: "Lord, then I'll retreat quickly." Knowing that it was a conspiracy, Cai Yang's retreat was also reasonable, but as soon as Cai Yang finished speaking, he heard Jia Xu say: "No." Chen Lin hurriedly looked at Jia Xu, Cai Yang and the others were also puzzled, Jia Xu said: "Lord, generals, look." After that, he left the first two departments, spread out the map on the case, and said: "At this time, Zhang Gongqi is a false rebellion, if our army retreats, Jia Qiande's department will not be able to resist the design of the state pastor, so that Jia Qiande's army has been annihilated, how can the state herd unite with Ba County and Shu County, our army alone enjoys the northern part of Guanghan, and Shuzhong has become the state pastor's family." And if our army informs Jia Qiande of this news, and Jia Qiande also withdraws from the army, then the state pastor will unite with Zhang Gongqi to go south first and pacify Jiangzhou, Jiangyang and other places, so that only the Guanghan army and Jia Qiande's army are left in Shu, and they can't compete with the state pastor, so this battle knows that it is a plan, but our army has to go. ”

Chen Lin thought carefully about what Jia Xu said, if he retreated now, would the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong be worry-free, but Ren An in the south did not react so quickly to retreat, Chen Lin couldn't bear to run away alone, and left his mentor, and said that everything Ren An did was just for him Chen Lin. So Chen Lin decided to see if Jia Xu had any clever plans, and said, "What does Wenhe have any suggestions?" ”

Jia Xu: "Lord, when you quickly tell this news to Zhou Qun's department in the south, there is a lord and a teacher, presumably the lord will tell him about the seriousness of this matter, and Zhou Qun will not escape, and for Jia Qiande, Xu suggests that the lord wait until the eve of the war and then tell the news before the battle, so as not to cause Jia Qiande to be plotted, but if he tells him early, he is afraid that Jia Qiande will run." In addition, he suggested that after the lord arrived in Mapo, he would attack Zhang Gongqi's troops with all his might, Zhang Gongqi thought that our army was deceived, and he must be a little careless, and he would not be too defensive against our army. Attacking Zhang Gongqi with all his might can make the state pastor lose Ba County, no matter who is in charge of Ba County today, it is better than being strong in the hands of the state pastor. ”

Chen Lin remembered the secret letter to Gao Shun and patted his forehead, Chen Lin couldn't help laughing at himself, thinking about who to calculate, but he didn't expect that he was being counted from beginning to end, and remembered what Fa Zheng said before: The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind. Chen Lin smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, that's all it takes for now." After that, Chen Lin glanced at Jia Xu, Jia Xu was shocked, knowing that Chen Lin was accusing Wuying, why didn't he get the news, didn't the third son already go to Chengdu.

Just as Chen Lin was complaining about Jia Xu, a sudden report was made: "Report to the lord, the scout found a person covered in blood outside the camp claiming to be the third son. Chen Lin and Jia Xu were shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Please come in." The scout said, "My lord, that man fainted after saying a word, and now he is being sent for treatment, this man has more knife wounds and gunshot wounds in life and death, and I am afraid that he will not wake up for a while." ”

Jia Xu: "What did the third son say before he fainted?" Scout: "That person doesn't seem to be very sober, and he only says, 'A certain name is Sanzi, tell the lord that Zhang Gongqi is a fake traitor, and Qin Ziqi is cheating.'" The man repeated this twice, and then he fainted. Chen Lin and Jia Xu were shocked, Zhang Lu's fake rebellion was confirmed, Qin Mi was cheating, but Chen Lin had just received the news that Qin Mi and Zhou Qun had entered the army together, and now that the two had even joined forces. Could it be that Qin Mi is also a false traitor, just like Zhang Lu, if this is the case, wouldn't Ren'an be dangerous. No, if Qin Mi had betrayed, wouldn't it have been more useful to come directly to Chen Lin's army in the first place, why didn't he go thousands of miles to Jiangyang.

Chen Lin's head hurt a little, he waved his hand, and everyone stepped back, including Jia Xu, Chen Lin couldn't figure out some things, and he needed to think about it quietly. The next day, the Hanzhong army was ordered to stop advancing and still rest, and only a few people were able to see Chen Lin that day, not even Jia Xu. Knowing that it was late in the evening, Chen Lin summoned the generals to gather and announced that they would start marching in the early morning of tomorrow and set off two hours in advance, which meant that they would leave before dawn. Target, Zhang Lu's army.

The sky was dark, there was only a little light for the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong to act, and some people in the army were about to light torches, but they were drunk by the generals of various departments, and the three thousand troops gathered with five hundred Chen Lin guards had to pack up their lines in the dark, and soon rushed out of the barracks and set off silently. Chen Lin rode on his war horse, looked at the crowd of black rumblings, turned back to Huang Yan and said, "Huang Yan, no matter how you protect Mr. Jia, just let Zhou Cang follow you." Huang Yan nodded, on the other side of the darkness, Jia Xu was moved in his heart. Chen Lin wanted to sneak attack Zhang Lu while others hadn't gotten up yet, and the four-hour journey had to be completed within two hours, and he appeared in front of Zhang Lu as soon as it was dawn, and he was caught off guard. Chen Lin thought to himself, as long as he killed Zhang Lu before others reacted, and then turned back and united with Jia Long to resist Zhang Ren and other Liu Yan's soldiers and horses, even if Qin Mi blew up again, Ren An and Zhou Qun's 3,000 soldiers and horses were not paper-paste, defeating Zhang Lu could ensure that he would not be caught by Liu Yan, at least there was a direction to escape.

The army of 3,000 had to rest for a day yesterday, and today it rested for the first half of the night, and now it has begun to hurry, and it is not very tired. Everyone looked at each other speechlessly, only knew how to hurry, the dark night looked very weird, marching in the dark, this is rarely done by people, of course, at the same time, there was Wu Yi and his party who were hundreds of miles away while they were hurrying in the dark.

Chen Lin took out the long knife on his war horse, and seriously looked at the long-handled ring hand knife that was built in Runan back then, this cavalry long knife, through the faint night light. It is heavier than the knife of the general cavalry, and it is darker, because it is made of a rare discus, over the years, this knife has been with Chen Lin for ten years, * The war horse has been changed twice, only this knife, although it has been repaired several times, but Chen Lin still feels that this one is the most handy. Although Chen Lin's subordinates have been fierce over the years, Chen Lin still gets up every morning to fight with a sword, so although Chen Lin's martial arts are not as good as Zhou Cang Cai Yang and others, he can fight with Huang Yan happily, provided that Huang Yan is not allowed to shoot arrows, and now only Huang Zhong dares to compete with Huang Yan. Chen Lin rolled up the clothes under the armor, wiped the knife surface, and quickly raised the knife in his right hand to make a circle on the side of the horse, and the sword wind was piercing. Chen Lin said in his heart, it seems that there is a big war this time.

Cai Yang walked at the forefront of the army, and Chen Lin's tone made Cai Yang understand that it would be a fierce battle, and this time there were only three thousand soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, and the number was not superior. But Cai Yang was not afraid, instead of a lot of inexplicable excitement, Huang Zhong of the same age has already faced the world, this is what Cai Yang has always remembered, and he dreams of having a good fight, at least it will not be worse than Huang Zhong. Now Cai Yang's son has become a county lieutenant in Hanzhong, but Cai Yang knows that his son is not outstanding, if it weren't for himself, I'm afraid that the county lieutenant would not be so easy to be, especially now that more and more virtuous people in Hanzhong are going to vote, and if they want to get ahead in Hanzhong, they have to show a little ability. Cai Yang thought about it, next time, next time Cai Yang suggested that the lord let his son join the army, anyway, now he has two grandsons. remembered that Huang Zhong only came to Hanzhong now that the lord married Huang Zhong two rooms, and now he has only one daughter.

Cai Yang shook his head and laughed secretly, what are you thinking about at the moment of the war. Cai Yang raised the big knife in his hand, this tiger head knife that made him a sword saint, and Huang Zhong's golden-backed knife had a fight. Cai Yang shouted in his heart, come on, just use the tiger head knife in someone's hand to let the world know so.
