Half an hour later, in Hanzhong City, Li Xiuman's temporary residence.

"Brother Xian, you can be regarded as entering the city."

"That is, the previous captain of the Hanzhong City Guard was Bai Yubin, and I didn't dare to come in."

Xu Huabiao smiled and sat down next to Li Xiuman.

It was embarrassing for a while.

In addition to Xu Huabiao and Li Xiuman, Zheng Xiujing, Jin Xiaoyuan and Li Xiuman, several generals from Hanzhong who brought this time were also there.

Of course, Jung Yoon-ho is also there.

And the position where Xu Huabiao sat was the position where Zheng Yunhao was sitting just now.

And Zheng Yunhao, who had just gotten up, could only find another chair next to him and sit down.

"Brother Xian, are you complaining that I am too slow?" Li Xiuman smiled and shook his head, "Xiujing told me that you arranged for someone to tell her that you wanted to cut off the contact between Yang Zhiyuan and her subordinates...... Well, indeed, you think more than I do. ”

“…… She did a little better than I could have imagined. Xu Huabiao smiled and glanced at Zheng Xiujing.

You said I wanted you to do it?

Let's go!

After all, he sent people to spy on people without authorization, and he directly controlled Yang Zhiyuan in the end...... Such a self-assertion is simply unacceptable to ordinary people.

For details, see Shen Changmin, who has been buried in the ground.

said that Xu Huabiao asked her to do it...... Well, it's much more acceptable.

As for avoiding suspicion or something...... There's no need for that now, is it?

"Okay, since Brother Xian is also here, let's talk about Yangpingguan." Li Xiuman shook his head with a smile, and then looked at Jin Xiaoyuan who was present.

"That's right. Six days ago, Zheng Zhixun and a guard general who was originally Jingnan, named Park Zhiyin, led troops to attack Yangping Pass together. Kim Hyo-yeon said the information she knew, "Fortunately, at this time, the two thousand reinforcements led by General Shiki arrived and directly joined the battle, repelling Jung Ji-hoon and that Park Ji-yin." After seeing the arrival of reinforcements, the enemy seemed to realize that he would not be able to defeat Yangping Pass for a while and a half, so he withdrew his troops for a hundred miles and set up camp again. ”

“…… Nishikawa's people withdrew? Xu Huabiao looked at Jin Xiaoyuan speechlessly.

No, what does Huang Yizhi mean by this? Don't want Hanzhong anymore? Scared by Jiang Shiqi?

Not really, right?

"Yes! There was only one battle, and Zheng Zhixun withdrew. It should have been that the number of defenders on the city was no less than their soldiers, so they withdrew. Zheng Xiujing, who was next to her, nodded, "This Zheng Zhixun...... It doesn't work either! ”

"If it works, can you lose your armor all the way to be chased by King Wei in Xinye?" Xu Huabiao took the opportunity to slap a sycophant very insincerely.

"Brother Xian, don't talk about this, I'm afraid it's not embarrassing enough!" Li Xiuman hurriedly interrupted Xu Huabiao's soulless rainbow fart, "The question now is, what are we going to do next." ”

"What's next? Didn't His Royal Highness King Wei come to march into Yizhou? Hit them! Xu Huabiao's face was taken for granted.

“…… Brother Xian, can't you talk well? There are no outsiders here. Li Xiuman was completely speechless.

"You can't withdraw your troops now, what's the use of saying this!" Xu Huabiao smiled and said, "What, are you going to go back like this?" Believe it or not, Xuchang's gang of people can kill you. ”

"Then you mean, we sent troops to storm the Sword Pavilion?"

"Fight must be to fight, how to fight, you ask me, it's better to ask Xiujing! I don't have her to do this kind of thing. ”

"Lord Xu, you're polite." Zheng Xiujing said a sentence next to her.

I don't know who is polite......

"Okay, Xiujing, you've been in Hanzhong for a while, so you must have already figured out how to deal with the Xichuan people, right?" Xu Huabiao waved his hand.

He's not here to do this, he's here to dig a hole. As for discussing tactics or something......

On the way into the city from outside the city, he didn't even think about it!

"Originally, what I wanted was to ask General Jin Xiaoyuan to ......" Zheng Xiujing glanced at Jin Xiaoyuan, Jin Xiaoyuan nodded, and motioned for her to continue: "Please lead the tiger and leopard cavalry with General Quan Yuli, go around Tianshui, go south from Wudu, and cut off the back road of Zheng Zhixun who attacked at Yangping Pass......"

"That seems like a good idea!!" Xu Huabiao was slightly stunned and nodded, "Then why didn't you arrange it earlier?" ”

"Tianshui's current Taishou is General Park Ji-yeon, without Lord Xu, you can coordinate it, General Xiaoyuan said that she doesn't want to lead troops to pass by Tianshui and Wudu......" Zheng Xiujing glanced at Xu Huabiao deeply.

"Then tell me! It's not a hassle to write a letter! Xu Huabiao looked at Jin Xiaoyuan.

"Lord Xu, I arranged for someone to find you! But the man didn't even see you, and he was driven back. ”

“…… When was this? ”

"Ten days ago."

“…… Why don't I remember at all......" Xu Huabiao scratched his head a little embarrassed.

I seem to have delayed my business.

Not to mention, if you detour south from Wudu, you can go to the Sword Pavilion without going through Yangping Pass, which can be regarded as cutting off Huang Yizhi's retreat.

It should be said that it is a good means of sneak attack.

"Actually, Yang Zhiyuan's matter has not been completely resolved, even if Xiaoyuan wants to leave Hanzhong, I don't dare to let her go!" Li Xiuman smiled next to him and helped Xu Huabiao relieve the siege, "Otherwise, I will tell you directly." ”

“…… In this way, Zheng Zhixun retreated for 100 miles as soon as Shiqi rescued Yangping Pass, which should be to prevent being dragged by Shiqi and then the back road was cut off. Xu Huabiao thought for a while and said, "They should have been prepared for a long time." The defenders of Yangping Pass should have been relatively small in number before, and they were not worried about being dragged down and unable to withdraw their troops? ”

"That's how it should be." Zheng Xiujing nodded, "So we were thinking that Zheng Zhixun took the initiative to attack Hanzhong this time, maybe to lead us to attack, and he didn't want to defeat Hanzhong from the beginning......

"Nonsense! Originally, it was the King of Wei who was attacking the division, but he was ...... by Yang Zhiyuan," Xu Huabiao said, glancing at Zheng Yunhao, "This side was delayed for some time, and they took the initiative to attack!" Now that we're done sorting it out, they're naturally going to retract back into the Sword Pavilion, that's no problem! ”

"Brother Xian, do you think there is no deception here?" Li Xiuman answered.

"Fraud?" Xu Huabiao thought about it seriously: "At most, it is just to force us to turn against Yang Zhiyuan on the side of Hanzhong first, and then when we lead the army to attack, their people instigated Yang Zhiyuan to rebel in Hanzhong, cut off our back road, and forced us to withdraw to Wudu." ”

Be quiet.

“…… Lord, so I said, I have to guard against it! Choi so-young, who had been silent, broke the silence.

"Brother Xian, are you a little too cautious?"

"Cautious or not, do you have a choice, brother?" Xu Huabiao glanced at Cui Xiuying, nodded, and then continued to say to Li Xiuman with a smile: "Now in Hanzhong, you can mobilize just these tens of thousands of people, and it is almost impossible to capture the Sword Pavilion, which is said to be steep, especially above the Tiger Prison Pass and Tong Pass, without exerting all your strength. ”

"yes!" Li Xiuman sighed softly and glanced at Zheng Xiujing.

Zheng Xiujing nodded.

"Wait a minute, I won't guard Hanzhong for you." Xu Huabiao spoke before Li Xiuman spoke.

“…… Why? Li Xiu's mouth was open, and his words were interrupted.

"If I keep here, this place will have to become the same as Chang'an, and it will be troublesome for me to take care of it, I don't bother to take care of it." Xu Huabiao shook his head very seriously, "Recently, for the sake of Chang'an, Zhien left, and even Duoxi was dragged to Chang'an...... I don't have anyone to take over Hanzhong. ”

"What you said ......" Li Xiuman smiled, "Just do me a favor!" ”

"That's not going to work! How can I help? People who don't listen to me, no matter how I arrange, it's useless. Xu Huabiao refused very simply, "That's okay, I'll go to Yangping Pass and help Shiqi take charge, how about it?" ”

"Lord Xu, what we are worried about is not that Yangping Pass will be lost, but that it is ......"

"Let's put it this way, without 10,000 people, I don't think I can hold down Hanzhong." Xu Huabiao interrupted Zheng Xiujing's words.

"Ten thousand? To have so much? Li Xiuman's brows furrowed.

"King Wei, you underestimated the influence of the dignified Five Bucket Rice Dao."

"Five buckets of rice? What is that? ”

“…… You don't even know this? What have you been up to lately? Xu Huabiao was stunned by Li Xiuman's question, "No...... You don't even know about Wudou Midao, why did you indulge Yang Zhiyuan so much before? ”

You don't even know what's going on with Wudou Midao, so you dare to come to Hanzhong, and as soon as you arrive, you will take Yang Zhiyuan?

I thought you were brave! It turned out to be just ignorance!
