A day later, early in the morning...... The newborn sun shines brightly.

In a dense mountain forest fifty miles away from Zhengcheng in the south of the Hanzhong Governance Office. Liu Xuan and his entourage of nearly 10,000 troops rested here - "Yuan Zhi, Shi Zai...... Look at how we can take down Nan Zheng Cheng-"

Liu Xuan looked at the map that was pounced on the ground and said. "Childe, Zhang Lu had previously raised a large army to invade Shu - according to the intelligence of the soldiers of the Hanzhong Army who surrendered, Zhang Lu sent an army of 40,000 people-"

"Although Hanzhong is rich, the people and the country are rich -- but at most there are only 50,000 or 60,000 troops-"

Deng Ai squinted his eyes and sneered. "Now, Jiameng Pass and Sword Pavilion have been blocked by us all the way to the pass - if we want to break through Nanzheng, it is not difficult for us to rely on this army of nearly 10,000."

"It's rare that after we take Hanzhong-how to quickly stabilize Hanzhong, and meet the wrath of the Hanzhong army that is outside later-"

As soon as Deng Ai's words fell, Zhou Budo waved his hand and smiled, "Hey, it's not difficult to stabilize Hanzhong - as long as Zhang Lu is captured alive, and some sweetness is given to his subordinates, Hanzhong can be worry-free." ”

"But--there is still a sentence to get to the bottom of it, the Hanzhong Army outside, and the Yangping Pass all the way -- this is a big problem-"

Zhou Budo's brows furrowed, and there was a deep sorrow between his eyebrows, "If the Yangping Pass guard hears that Hanzhong is broken, and he will give Yangping Pass to the Guanzhong Ma family without doing anything, then we will be in a disadvantageous place." ”

"What Yuan Zhi said is very true—and we must also beware of enemy troops coming from the Yin Ping Path."

Liu Xuanxing's eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice.

"I don't know what happened to my father...... I hope that Zhou Can can send the information to his father in time. Liu Xuan shook his head slightly, and then said, "Shi Zai - a huge violation, have you contacted them?" ”

Deng Ai shook his head slightly, "Never-"

At this time, a blood guard hurriedly walked by and said in a low voice, "Childe, there is a person who claims to be Chang Guang looking for you, saying that there is something important to tell you-"

"Oh? Chang Guang? ”

Liu Xuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Quickly bring it-"

Soon, Chang Guang, who was dressed in black, walked in front of Liu Xuan, "Childe-Chang Guang of the Bashu Shadow Branch, come to report-"

"No need to be polite - Chang Guang, what is the actual situation in the whole of Hanzhong now?"

Liu Xuan frowned slightly and said, "Childe, Chang Guang is here to inform Childe of a major news-Childe, the defenders of Nanzheng were transferred to the front line two days ago, and now the defenders of Nanzheng are empty-"

"Childe will set off now, and he will be able to go down to Nanzheng in less than half a day - capture Zhang Lu, Yan Pu and others alive-"

"Uh--there are no defenders in Nanzheng?" Liu Xuan was stunned, and even Zhou Budo and Deng Ai were stunned.

Nanzheng is the place where Hanzhong is governed, and Hanzhong is the important town of the entire Bashu, although Nanzheng is not as good as Chengdu's city defense, but it is much stronger than ordinary cities.

If such a city wants to be attacked, it does not need to have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, only three or four thousand can block Liu Xuan's more than 10,000 troops for more than a month.

"What's going on?"

Liu Xuan immediately frowned slightly and said, "Childe-that's it-" Chang Guang also said slowly. Half a sound of effort, Liu Xuan, Zhou Budo, Deng Ai only then figured out what the situation was.

"So...... Tens of thousands of troops in Hanzhong outside have been blocked by a mysterious shili under the Sword Pavilion? ”

"Yes." Chang Guang slightly nodded his fat head, "According to what Yang Song, Zhang Lu's military advisor, said, the Sword Pavilion is the world's Xiongguan, there are only one or two thousand people, let you have 100,000, and the million army can only look at the pass and sigh." ”

Liu Xuanming was silent, 100,000, 100,000 and sighed for fear that it was a boast, if you really attacked regardless of casualties - just use people, and you will be killed -

"It seems that the mysterious shili should be the Ma Super Army, but I don't know how many people have come out of the Yin Ping-"

Liu Xuan's expression was solemn, and he was unhappy with the Ma Chaoda army who suddenly intervened sideways-"Father has a law and filial piety beside him, it shouldn't be good, even if he loses, it won't be miserable-"

Thinking about it here, Liu Xuan's heart was also a lot more relaxed-

"Chang Guang, do you know the whereabouts of Xiang Pet and the White Feather Army?"

Liu Xuan hurriedly looked at Chang Guang and said, Chang Guang lowered his head slightly after hearing this, and then quickly raised his head to look at Liu Xuan, "Childe-it seems that they are in the direction of Chenggu--Recently, my subordinates heard that there are thieves in Chenggu, which makes people in the villages and towns near Chenggu panic-"

"Chenggu - Xu Peng, go to Chenggu quickly to pet Xiang, Bai Yu recalls, go to Nanzheng quickly, and my son will take the first step-"

Liu Xuan frowned and ordered, then looked at Deng Ai again, Zhou Budo, "Shizai, Yuan Zhi-let's leave for Nanzheng immediately." ”

"Well—"

…………

And just when Liu Xuan set off for Nanzheng, to take over the Hanzhong Governance Office in one fell swoop, the Sword Pavilion Xiongguan was closed.

Liu Bei was dressed in golden chain mail, holding a male and female double-strand sword to face the wind, and his eyes were staring directly at Pang De on the Sword Pavilion - "It's the third day-this Pang De is really a good talent in the world!" ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but praise secretly. Not for anything else, just for Pound to fight Yan Yan alone, Chen Dao, Guan Ping is not left behind, and there is a faint advantage of suppression, and this Pound is indeed bold in using troops - dare to use hundreds of elite soldiers, dare to go out of the city to kill himself.

In the past three days, tens of thousands of troops under his command have launched a strong offensive against the Sword Pavilion - but none of them have been stopped by Pang De.

This made Liu Bei hate and love Pang De.

Xu Shu next to him looked at Liu Bei, and immediately knew in his heart that Liu Bei was thinking of collecting Pang De - "Lord, this Pang De can't last long." ”

"In a few days, Pound will have to obediently tie his hands down—"

Xu Shu said affirmatively. "Well--what Yuan Zhi said is very true-" Liu Bei nodded again and again. At this time, Liu Bei had already regarded Pang De as a meal on his plate, and the cooked duck could still let him fly? Liu Bei smiled proudly.

The Sword Pavilion is upstairs.

Pound's iron armor has turned red, and even the sword in his hand is full of blood - Pound's tiger eyes are still shining, but if you look closely, you can see that there is a trace of tiredness in the depths of Pound's eyes.

With 3,000 soldiers, he resisted Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops day and night, and could not break through - this is enough to prove Pang De's ability! "Meng Qi, Meng Qi--if you don't come--I'm really about to hold on-"

Pound looked at the hundreds of remaining soldiers on the upper floor, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

And at this time...... Jiangyou City.

A handsome man wearing a lion bright silver beast helmet, a twisted lion bright silver beast armor, a palm-wide lion jade belt around his waist, and a snow-white cloak lined with red satin -- a handsome man with a length of eight feet stood on the head of Jiangyou City.

This person is the mighty Liangyong, the famous Shenwei general - Jin Ma Chao!

"General—"

A low voice came, and Ma Chao turned his head to look, but it was Pang Tong, the strategist who accompanied the army this time.

"Mr. Shiyuan, what should we do next-is to directly enter Chengdu?"

Ma Chao's eyes were flushed with red and said excitedly-Pang Tong sighed helplessly when he saw it, Ma Chao--I still have to go through it.

"General--we must rush to the Sword Pavilion to meet General Pound first-"

Pang Tong said lightly, Ma Chao frowned when he heard it, "Go to the Sword Pavilion?" ”

"We've been resting in Jiangyou for nearly two days, and the morale of the soldiers is high, why don't you rush into Chengdu in one fell swoop - anyway, there is Pang De in the Sword Pavilion to attract Liu Bei - just let Lao Tzu take that Chengdu-"

Ma Chao smiled gloomily, but Pang Tong shook his head and said, "General-Liu Bei will not raise the entire army of Yizhou for the sake of a Sword Pavilion-"

"There will be a large army left behind in Chengdu - it will be useless for us to go - on the contrary, it will expose our position!" Pang Tong said in a low voice, "On the contrary, let's take Liu Bei by surprise and kill Liu Bei's rear, and attack General Pang De back and forth--kill Liu Bei by surprise-"

"This time, we will definitely be able to defeat Liu Bei - in this way, we will all reject the Sword Pavilion, kill Xiang Nanzheng with superior forces, and then break through Yangping Pass with General Ma Dai - take Hanzhong into the bag-"

"Hanzhong is in hand, Bashu can be in sight—"

Pang Tong gave Ma Chao a faint analysis. Ma Chao listened to it and muttered for a long time before he said hatefully, "Then go to the Sword Pavilion first and clean up that Liu Bei - and then take Bashu-"

After that, Ma Chao was heading towards the city, and Pang Tong sighed slightly when he saw it. Not long after, a crisp and immature child's voice came, "Teacher, why don't you divide into two ways?" ”

Pang Tong turned around and looked at the boy who looked to be no more than ten years old, and his ugly face suddenly flashed a smile.

"Boyo, you have to remember - before you win, think about defeat first."

Pang Tong's eyes were as deep as Xingmiao, and he said in a flat tone, "Bashu is mountainous, and there are still several passes in the land of Chengdu-if you want to be unaware, but it is difficult--if the enemy discovers the whereabouts of our army--only need to clear the wilderness with a strong wall, and the army will stick to Chengdu, and Liu Bei will lead the army to block the road of the Sword Pavilion." ”

"Then it won't be long before our army will be defeated without a fight—"
