Zhang Ren crouched behind the women's wall, secretly complained, clenched his hands into fists, and slapped his thighs twice. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info A vicious thought suddenly popped into his heart, if only he knew witchcraft, curse Jia Long to death, and then felt his face burn, extremely ashamed. In any case, Jia Long is his own Shangguan, although he has never looked at himself differently, but he has not deliberately picked on him because of his poor family background, many of his skills in defending the city have been learned from Jia Long, and now he curses Shangguan like this for the sake of fame and fortune, isn't it better to be a pig and a dog?

That's right, I want to defeat Jia Long, I want to make meritorious contributions, and I want to rise step by step because I have gained the weight of the general of the chariot cavalry, but I can't curse Jia Long with such a despicable method, this is an idea that an upright person should not have.

Zhang Ren wanted to stand up and meet Jia Long openly, but he felt that he was too despicable, for fear of being discovered, so he turned around and sat on the ground with his back against the female wall, holding his knees with both hands, burying his head between his legs, and not daring to look at others.

"Captain, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Zhang Ren's face was wrong, Ma Xiang hurriedly pushed him and asked worriedly. At present, if you want to hold Mianzhu, you have to rely on Zhang Ren, and if Zhang Ren has an accident, this battle will not be able to be fought.

"Nothing." Zhang Renqiang smiled, "I'm a little tired, just rest for a while." ”

Ma Xiang didn't doubt it, Zhang Ren was really working too hard these days, he only slept for one or two hours every night, and his eyes were busy until dark. I have to think about it alone late at night, and sometimes I have to get up in the middle of the night to look at the city wall, which can be described as doing my best. Ma Xiang patted Zhang Ren on the shoulder. decided to go back and kill a sheep to make up for Zhang Ren. Now there are too many people in the city and there is a shortage of food. Military control has been implemented, and even large families in the city are not allowed to eat meat casually.

Although Jia Long didn't see Zhang Ren, but his heart was full of suspicions, he went around the city, and after looking at it carefully, he invited Wu Ban to the big tent with a heavy face. Wu Ban couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that his face was wrong: "Captain, is there anything wrong?" ”

"I suspect something has happened to Ba County."

"Ba Jun? What can happen to Bashire? Wu Ban was puzzled. He thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Liu Fan and Pang Xi are in the Xicheng area, can Liu Xiu still be able to pass through the Afternoon Valley and kill Ba County?" ”

"That can't be." Jia Long shook his head: "But have you noticed, the defensive deployment on Mianzhu City is very similar to Chengdu, it is just the same." ”

Wu Ban nodded, he came to Jia Long because of this. But what does this have to do with Bashire?

"I have a subordinate named Zhang Ren, who is brave and brave, but his family is relatively poor. I'm also young, so I can only be a small servant under me for now. He is very studious, I intend to cultivate him, every time I arrange the city defense, I will take him, he is also very attentive to learn, and he has three flavors. The last time the envoy wanted to deal with the Heavenly Master Dao, I sent him to Langzhong. ”

Wu Ban suddenly understood, "You mean...... Could it be Zhang Ren in the city? ”

Jia Long nodded slowly.

Wu Ban's face changed drastically. If Zhang Ren is here, then the Heavenly Master Dao Zhilu in Langzhong will definitely be guarded, and they haven't gotten any news, that can only show a problem, Ba County has changed hands without them noticing, if you want to hide this news well, at least the county order of Ba County and the heroes of Ba County have been controlled by the other party, and may even have the support of these people.

This news is not trivial, Ba County not only has a wide area, accounting for half the size of the northern part of Yizhou, the important thing is that Ba County has a good fighting banban, if these people fall into Liu Xiu, it will be a very heavy blow to Yizhou.

"Please keep the camp tightly and don't have any negligence." Jia Long said with a heavy heart: "I will immediately send someone to Ba County to check, if it is true, I must remind the envoy." ”

Wu Ban nodded again and again, he was already a little confused, this guess was really terrifying. Jia Long sent his cronies to Langzhong at any time to check, and at the same time suspended the plan to attack Mianzhu, and gathered 5,000 people tightly together to prevent a sneak attack. At the same time, he sent people to Jiangzhou to inform Zhang Na, the Taishou of Ba County, to pay attention to the changes in Langzhong.

……

In Xicheng, Liu Bei slowly paced at the head of the city with his hands behind his back, and glanced at the dense military camp outside the city from time to time. After Pang Xi arrived with an army of 10,000, Liu Fan's army, which had been defeated by them, regained momentum and re-surrounded Xicheng. However, Pang Xi was much more experienced than Liu Fan, he did not storm Xicheng, but sent people to cut off the connection between Xicheng and Shangyong, and then besieged the city.

This move is the key point of Liu Bei and others, they are a light army sneaking in, it is impossible to bring too much baggage, and the population of Xicheng is limited, it is not easy to supply them with this 5,000 army, although Liu Bei They have torn off their dough and went to forcibly levy from house to house, and the income after that is only three or five months' rations.

Now, the reinforcements can no longer be counted on, Yuan Shu wants to send a large army, to pass through the deep mountains and old forests, and Pang Xi spread the warships along the water, waiting for work, and the reinforcements are also self-defeating. They can't count on reinforcements, their expeditionary force is alone, and they can only fend for themselves, otherwise they will face a desperate situation.

Although Qin Jie was also anxious, but he hadn't messed up yet, Bao Hong was a little uneasy, and scolded Huai in front of Liu Bei several times. Liu Bei ignored him, Bao Hong's anger could only make him despise, speaking of which, he was also a member of the Bao family, and he was so unbreathable, which can only show that the family is often stupid, if it weren't for their collusion with each other and monopolizing their careers, Bao Hong would have today's position?

When Liu Xiu first entered Luoyang, Bao Hong was a tiger servant and Liu Xiu's top boss. Now Liu Xiu is already a general of the Che Cavalry, and the Han Dynasty is actually a powerful general in the army, but what about Bao Hong? is still messing around under Yuan Shu's wings.

Liu Xiuneng, why can't I?

Liu Bei walked slowly, laughing with the soldiers at the head of the city from time to time, checking the bows, crossbows, oil pots, stoves and other facilities. Most of these soldiers are ordinary people, they don't know that he, the younger brother of the clan surnamed Liu, is no longer registered, they only know that he is the bloodline of Emperor Gao, and they are very polite to him, and the envy and jealousy in their eyes can't be hidden, it seems that he is a high-ranking royal family.

Liu Bei likes this look very much, in front of these people, he can find his own self-esteem. He was very kind to these soldiers, lived and slept with them, fell behind when he ate, and rushed to the front when he fought, so these people respected him very much and were willing to fight with him.

"What would Liu Xiu do if he was here?" Liu Bei kept thinking as he walked. "He will not sit still, and the more impossible it is, the calmer he will be, find the place where the other party has neglected, and deliver a fatal blow." Liu Bei searched every battle Liu Xiu had fought in his mind, and slowly had an idea. He walked to the city wall, looked past Liu Fan's military camp, and looked at Daba Mountain in the distance.

"Get me two locals." Liu Bei commanded.

Jian Yong listened, and hurriedly arranged for someone to look for it, and after a short time, two men who were familiar with the local terrain were called over. They are all subordinate soldiers, and now they are inferior servants, and they don't even give weapons, and when they are suddenly called, they can't help but feel a little upset in their hearts. Liu Bei saw it and smiled gently: "You don't have to be afraid, I want to ask you about some information, if you answer well, the captain of this school will be rewarded." ”

As he spoke, he took out a handful of five-baht coins from his bosom and held it in his palm.

"Your Excellency, please speak." One of the men stared at the handful of money, swallowed, and nodded vigorously.

"Do any of you know if there is a trail around here that can pass through Daba Mountain?"

"Do you mean this or somewhere else?"

Liu Beijian raised his eyebrows: "Let's talk about this place first, and then talk about other places." ”

"Of course there is, about eighty miles west from here, there is a valley between Daba Mountain and Rice Cangshan Mountain, which is the source of Bucao Shui. After passing through that valley and walking for seven or eight days, you can cross Daba Mountain, enter Ba County, and go down along the Bucao River, which is Xuanhan County. ”

Liu Bei nodded, took out half of the money in his hand and stuffed it into Nahan's hand, and asked again, "Very good, is there anything else?" ”

"My lord, I know too." Another man's eyes were red, and he hurriedly rushed forward, "My lord, I have collected medicine in Daba Mountain, and I know a road from Shangyong to Huguan (Yufu). ”

Liu Bei and Jian Yong glanced at each other and smiled in unison. "Okay, you come and say, if you say it well, there will be a reward."

Na Han was overjoyed, pointed to the east and explained in detail, and got the reward, just when the others were both red and regretted that they didn't say it, Liu Bei took out another handful of money and looked around: "Who else knows?" ”

"I know, I know."

"I know, my lord, I'll speak first."

The soldiers and servants all around gathered around and scrambled to speak. Dozens of five-baht coins may not be of concern to Liu Bei, but for those soldiers, it is likely to mean a piece of clothing, a pound of meat, or a few buckets of rice, which can feed the family at least once. For the money, they were willing to tell the young lieutenant everything they knew.

Liu Bei and his troops invaded Hanzhong, and all they found from the three counties was the map of the county, and the map outside the three counties was only available in Hanzhong Taishoufu, and the terrain of Ba County was only available in Ba County, so they could not get it. Some of these people travel between Ba County for their livelihoods, and they know more about some hidden paths than the government. Some roads are impossible to walk at all, and some roads are so hidden that even the locals may not know about them, but they are occasionally discovered by some people and regarded as their own secrets.

Liu Bei spent two days collecting several mountain roads, and after detailed inquiry, he removed several roads that were obviously impossible to march and found a trail leading to the head.

After listening to Liu Bei's thoughts, Qin Jie groaned silently, but Bao Hong scoffed: "You brought us here and trapped, but now you want to leave by yourself, what shortcut do you want to find to get to Ba County?" I don't think you want to go to Ba County, you want to get out of this quagmire by yourself. (Your support on this site is my big power station, your support is my big power.) To be continued
