Chapter 34 Xu Huang vs. Zhao Yun and Liu Xunxing
Liu Xun had already grasped the movements of Zhao Yun's army, and immediately decided that he would lead 50,000 troops to be stationed in the city, and Zhang Ren would lead 30,000 troops to be stationed outside the city.
As soon as Zhao Yun's army arrived, he would come to attack head-on.
Liu Xun's abacus was very loud, but he still underestimated Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun is brave and strategic, not just a martial artist.
At this time, Zhao Yun has only been debuting for a few years, but he has already become famous all over the world, of course, he is not an idle person.
When reinforcing Yangping Pass, Zhao Yun calculated various possible situations and sent scouts from afar to reconnoitre.
"Report, Zhang Ren's army is stationed outside Yangguan Ping, and Liu Xun's garrison is inside the pass, and they are waiting for a serious battle, wanting to catch us off guard", scouts came to report.
"If you want to come while I'm far away, my foothold is not stable, and I am caught off guard, how can there be such a cheap thing", Zhao Yun laughed at himself.
The army drove to the outside of Yangping Pass, far from the village, and Zhang Renjun was far away, 10,000 crossbowmen shot at the position, Liu Xun's desire to launch a fierce attack while Zhao Yun's foothold was not stable.
That night, Yangping turned off the torch and brightened, Zhao Yun had a white helmet and white armor, a silk beast belt, holding a rotten silver point steel gun, and a lion horse shining on the night in his crotch, and the whole face was like Fu powder, heroic.
Zhao Yun galloped back and forth under the pass, and named Liu Xun to fight.
"The lord is the commander of the three armies, don't move lightly, let the last general go to meet him for a while", Xu Huang said.
"Okay, Gongming be careful, don't underestimate the enemy, listen to my Mingjin, and go back to the customs immediately", Liu Xun advised, now that he has Xu Huang's highest martial arts, he doesn't want Xu Huang to have any mistakes.
"Xu Huang understands", at that moment, Xu Huang hung up, led a military horse, went out of the city gate, and opened it on the side of the suspension bridge.
Xu Huang rode alone, danced the big axe, and went straight to Zhao Yun.
"Slow, it's going to be Liu Xun?" Zhao Yun asked.
"In Xia Xu Huang, come to receive the teaching", Xu Huang said.
"You are not Liu Xun, you are not my opponent, quickly retreat and replace Liu Xun", Zhao Yun waved his hand and said, his tone was very contemptuous.
"You actually look down on me, look at the axe", Xu Huang was extremely angry, picked up the big axe and chopped.
Zhao Yun raised his gun to greet him, and the two of them exchanged spears and axes, fighting together, and it was difficult to distinguish Xuanyuan for a while.
Zhao Yun is in the middle of Dao Jin, Xu Huang has been stuck at the peak of Void Jin for many years, and after Liu Xun taught that trick "Flying Dragon in the Sky", there are faint signs of breakthrough.
The two of them exchanged axes and guns, and more than ten moves had passed in a blink of an eye.
Xu Huangsheng is fierce in his moves, Zhao Yunsheng is in the realm, and his lightning horror gun is haunting and unpredictable, making Xu Huang unguardable.
Although Xu Huang's "Flying Dragon in Tianxuan Flower Axe" is also a temporary mastery, it is a pity that he has not yet entered the realm of Dao Jin.
Xu Huang understood that within thirty moves, he could remain undefeated, and after fifty moves, he would definitely be defeated.
"This Zhao Yun is famous all over the world at a young age, and he is really a vain man under the fame", Xu Huang admired the more he fought.
The benefits of this battle for him were enormous, and he was one step closer to breaking through the Void Jin Realm and reaching the Dao Jin Realm.
Zhao Yun couldn't stop eagerly, and he secretly admired it in his heart.
Closing Liu Xun was afraid that Xu Huang would lose, Mingjin withdrew his troops, and Zhao Yun chased him to the front of the suspension bridge, and was shot back by a burst of arrows.
"This Zhao Yun really deserves his reputation, if he fights again, I'm afraid I won't be his opponent", Xu Huang was unconvinced, but he was full of praise for Zhao Yun.
"Zhao Yun is really a tiger general in the world, if you subdue him, it will be easy for me to conquer the world", Liu Xun secretly thought about how to deal with Zhao Yun, and gave the order to go down, close the city gate, and hold on.
At the same time, he ordered Zhang Ren to stand still and strictly prevent Zhao Yun from attacking.
For several days, Zhao Yun came to the city to scold and fight, but Liu Xun just ignored it. The order to siege the city, arrows were fired from the city, and Zhang Renjun attacked the back of Zhao Yun's army, forcing him to leave the city for three miles.
Liu Xun's army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and Zhao Yun didn't know what idea Liu Xun's flowery intestines contained.
Although Zhao Yun had an army of 50,000, Liu Xun had 80,000 horses, plus Yan Yan's troops and horses, Liu Xun's army and horses had 100,000 people.
If Liu Xunzhen wants to take the initiative, it is extremely likely that Zhao Yun will be defeated.
Everyone said that Zhao Yun was ten thousand enemies, but they just said that he was brave, and he couldn't really fight 10,000 at a time. Liu Xuncun had a different mind, he wanted to subdue Zhao Yun and let him use it for his own purposes.
On the one hand, Liu Xun did not move, and on the other hand, he asked Yan Yan to take the soldiers and horses of his headquarters and take a small road to attack Nanzheng and cut off Zhao Yun's retreat.
He also sent a large number of spies to spread rumors throughout Hanzhong, saying that Zhao Yun's delay in entering the army was an intention to support the army and carve up Hanzhong with Liu Xun.
Liu Xun's spies also sneaked into Hanzhong with a lot of money, met Zhang Lu's favorite minister Yang Song, asked him to speak ill of Zhao Yun in front of Zhang Lu, and promised that after the matter was completed, Yang Song would guard Hanzhong.
After getting the gold, silver and jewelry, Yang Song immediately went to meet Zhang Lu.
"Now there are legends everywhere in Hanzhong that Zhao Yun wants to support his troops and carve up Hanzhong with Liu Xun, and the lord must be guarded against", Yang Song said.
"Come on, go and find out if Zhao Yun has any signs of rebellion," Zhang Lu said.
After a while, his subordinates reported, "There are rumors everywhere in Hanzhong that Zhao Yun wants to support the army and stand on his own." ”
"How's that for good? If Zhao Yunzhen and Liu Xunxin are in cahoots, it will be difficult to protect Hanzhong", Zhang Lu beat his chest and paused.
"Don't worry, for the sake of today's plan, the only way to do this is to send people to urge Zhao Yun to enter the army as soon as possible, and on the other hand, send troops to guard all passes and strictly prevent Zhao Yun from returning to Hanzhong," Yang Song said.
"This plan is wonderful, come here, quickly urge Zhao Yun to march. In addition, send a large army to guard the various passes to prevent Zhao Yun from returning to the division to attack Hanzhong", Zhang Lu said.
"Lord, don't do it, if you do that, Hanzhong won't be able to keep it", a person lifted the curtain and entered, it seemed that he had been outside the door for a long time.
"Second brother, what do you mean by this? Seeing that Zhao Yun has rebelled, 100,000 people are in a hurry, why did you stop me? Zhang Lu said puzzled.
The person who came was Zhang Wei, the younger brother Zhang Lu who has always trusted him, and Zhang Lu was able to have today, thanks to Zhang Wei's support.
"If the eldest brother really does this, even if Zhao Yun does not rebel, he will be forced to rebel by the eldest brother. Big brother, please think about it, if Zhao Yun really connects with Liu Xun to attack, is it useful for you to send people to defend the various passes? Zhang Wei said.
"Well", Zhang Lu thought for a while, "It's mostly useless, what does the second brother mean?" ”
"Yang Song's previous envoy to Yizhou, most of them colluded with Liu Xun, please ask the eldest brother to give an order to take down this traitor", Zhang Wei pointed to Yang Songdao.
"Zhang Wei, you are spewing blood, if you want to arrest me, you can show evidence. Lord, Yang Song is bent on planning for the lord, and if he is about to be falsely accused of being a traitor, he is really wronged", Yang Song knelt in front of Zhang Lu with a "plop", crying silently.
"Second brother, you said that Yang Song is Liu Xun's spy, is there any evidence?" Zhang Ludao.
"It's not easy to get evidence, those people on the street who are rumored to be Zhao Yun going to support his own army, just arrest some of them, and interrogate them to know if they are rumors. As for Yang Song, as long as he is imprisoned and sent troops to surround his mansion, he will understand after a search. If he is indeed wronged, the younger brother is willing to apologize for his guilt with death and return his innocence", Zhang Wei said.
Zhang Wei's words immediately made Zhang Lu suspicious, he was not a fool, but he usually trusted Yang Song too much.
A person who has been able to dominate Hanzhong for more than 30 years and fight against the major princes is not a mediocre person?
"Yang Song, I have to grieve you. If it is found out later that you are really innocent, I will give you justice. Come on, pull Yang Song down, take care of it, and I will personally interrogate him later", Zhang Lu said, "Immediately send troops to surround Yang Song Mansion, and no one can be let go." ”
"Go to the street and arrest the people who spread rumors and make trouble, and I will interrogate them severely," Zhang Lu said.
Liu Xun's envoy was waiting for a reply to Yang Song's house, but he didn't know that there were waves on the ground.
Zhang Lu's army surrounded Yang Song's mansion, seized a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, and was brought to Zhang Lu along with Liu Xun's envoy.
Under severe torture, Liu Xun's envoy first confessed to bribing Yang Song, and also confessed to using carrier pigeons to transmit messages.
"This Liu Xun is really not simple, he actually came up with this method of transmitting messages, no wonder he was able to quickly occupy Yangping Pass. Let's just plan and make him mistakenly think that we have been tricked", Zhang Weidao.
Zhang Lu nodded again and again, "Second brother, this plan is wonderful. ”
"Okay, you Yang Song, now that the evidence of your collusion with Liu Xun is in front of you, what else can you deny?" Zhang Lu looked at Yang Song, who was kneeling in front of him, and shouted.
"The lord spares his life, I am framed by someone", Yang Song still did not give up, trying to do a death struggle.
"Until now, you are still obsessed, trying to escape punishment, in vain I trust you so much, you dare to betray me", Zhang Lu gritted his teeth with hatred, "Come on, push Yang Song out and behead him." Yang Song's family members and servants were all escorted to Dongshi to be executed. ”
"As long as you do what I tell me, I can spare you from dying," Zhang Wei said to Liu Xun's messenger who was kneeling in front of him.
"As long as the adults spare me not to die, the villains are willing to listen to the orders of the adults, and the adults tell the small ones to go east, and the small ones will never dare to go west. I beg the adults to spare the life of the small one for the sake of the high hall and the second room below", the messenger knelt on the ground, kowtowed like pounding onions, and was full of nonsense.
"Listen, according to my meaning, write back to Liu Xun, and say that everything has been arranged, please rest assured", Zhang Wei said.
"The little one will do as the adults instruct," the messenger said, "The villain's carrier pigeon is still in the Hanzhong apartment, please send someone to fetch it with the villain." ”
"Okay, come on, go to the apartment with this guest to get the carrier pigeon, take care of the guest for me, if there is a slight mistake, it will kill your dog", Zhang Wei said in words.
How could Zhang Lu's personal soldiers not understand this, so they pushed and shoved at the moment, and escorted Liu Xun's envoy to the apartment to get the carrier pigeon.
Retrieving the carrier pigeon, the messenger wrote a note according to Zhang Wei's intention and handed it to Zhang Wei.
"Everything is as expected by adults, don't worry", Zhang Wei looked at the handwriting on the note, very satisfied, "You can send it out." ”
The messenger immediately tied the note to the pigeon's leg, and released the pigeon in front of Zhang Wei and Zhang Lu.
"Come on, pull this Liu Xun's spy out and cut it down for me", Zhang Wei said.
"Your Excellency, you have promised to spare my life," cried the messenger with a sad face.
"I promised to spare your life, but the lord didn't agree", Zhang Wei smiled treacherously, like a profiteer.
"What's next? Second brother, I'm so confused that I don't have any ideas at all," Zhang Lu asked.
His most favored subordinate Yang Song was actually someone else's spy, which greatly stimulated Zhang Lu.
"Didn't Liu Xun want to use the anti-plot to divide the relationship between the lord and Zhao Yun? Let's just not let him get his wish, the lord wants to reuse Zhao Yun and lean on the Great Wall", Zhang Weidao.
"Okay, I'll give an order and let Zhao Yun take charge of the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong. From then on, in Hanzhong, he was under one person and above ten thousand," Zhang Lu said suddenly.
"The lord did this, and it was a little too much, then Zhao Yun is an outsider after all, and he didn't come to join the lord for a long time, so he still has to take precautions", Zhang Wei said leisurely.
"The second brother means ......," Zhang Lu asked.
"Ru Yu's eldest niece, there are sixteen this year, right?" Zhang Wei didn't answer Zhang Lu's question, but asked thoughtlessly.
