The Shen Tan brothers led the troops to drive away the deserters and came to the camp, where the Hanzhong soldiers had already fled, captured more than 2,000 prisoners, and carried the burden of the camp.

Shen Yi had already learned that although Zhao Yun was ordered to rest, he had secretly taken precautions, deliberately lured out the defenders, and sighed: "General Zhao is both civil and military, I might as well wait!" ”

Zhao Yunyan said: "I have asked the prisoners, Yang Bai led Chenggu to go out with all the men and horses, and a certain one went to take the city first, and the second general guarded the camp to receive the army. ”

Shen Yi was ordered to guard the camp and hold the prisoners, Zhao Yun and Shen Tan led 2,000 elite soldiers to pursue the victory, killing Ben Chenggu, and sure enough, the city was already in chaos.

The defeated army fled back first, the defenders were all newly recruited soldiers, the six gods had no owner, and when they saw the defeated army fleeing to Nanzheng, they all fled, and the city gate was wide open, and no one restrained them.

Zhao Yun led the troops into the city, first guarded the city gate, and then went out to the list to settle the people, the people saw that the Jingzhou soldiers did not burn and loot, and settled down a little, and when it was dark, Chenggu had been obtained by Zhao Yun.

Liu Qi led the army later, passing through the meridian crossing, Wei Yan pointed to the narrow valley like a mountain crack and said: "If his son takes Guanzhong, if he takes advantage of the Cao army to go out of the camp, he will lead three thousand Red Flame troops to surprise troops from the Meridian Valley and take Chang'an directly, and Guanzhong can be decided in a battle." ”

Xu Shu shook his head and smiled: "The Meridian Valley Road is rugged and difficult, the carriages and horses are impassable, and I have never heard of anyone using troops in the past dynasties, so I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed." ”

Wei Yan laughed and said, "The military advisor also thinks that it is impossible, so he should send troops." ”

Xu Shu was puzzled: "Why do you say this?" ”

Wei Yan said with a smile: "It is precisely because everyone thinks that it is impossible, I do the opposite, so that I can win by surprise, if there is a person who thinks that there are soldiers available here, he has to be prepared, how can he be considered a surprise soldier?" ”

Xu Shu was stunned, shook his head and said with a smile: "Wen Chang's words are reasonable, attacking them unprepared, taking them by surprise, but it is also in line with the art of war." ”

Chen Zhiyan said: "If you talk about going over mountains and mountains, I'm the best at Bai Yubing, so it's better to let me go." ”

Wei Yan glared: "I have a strange strategy, naturally the Red Flame Army can also be competent, not to mention going deep into the barren mountains and mountains, there is no food and grass, and it is easy to get lost, there are many strange people in our army, and they can only be competent if they can be self-sufficient, and I am afraid that the white soldiers will not be able to." ”

Chen Zhi said with a smile: "Most of the Bai Yu soldiers are Danyang soldiers, where the terrain is dangerous, the valley is heavy, and there are countless rivers in the Manglin, they were born and grew up in Si, and fought with wild beasts since childhood, and crossed the Qinling Mountains as if walking on the ground. ”

Seeing that the two were arguing, Liu Qi hurriedly said: "The two generals are plotting loudly here, I am afraid that before they enter Hanzhong, the strategy of the Meridian Valley has already spread throughout the army." ”

Wei Yan suddenly covered his mouth, looked at no one on the left and right, and then whispered: "This plan must not be leaked, it may be useful in the future." ”

Everyone laughed, and at this moment, the front Tanma reported the news of Chenggu, Liu Qi was overjoyed, urging the men and horses to gallop, and if they had a foothold in Hanzhong, they could calmly use their troops.

When the people arrived in Chenggu, Liu Qi saw that the righteous houses were distributed along the way, and the people were hiding in them, so he watched nervously, and also ordered the whole army not to disturb the people, and entered the territory of Hanzhong, and the army and the people did not commit any crimes.

Zhao Yun had already sent someone to find out the military situation of Nanzheng, Zhang Lu transferred Yang Ren to pay a return visit, there were still more than 20,000 defenders, although Chenggu had some grain and grass, but it was only enough for one month.

Wei Yan hugged his fists and said: "Zhang Wei's army is still in Shu Dao, it is better to rush to Nanzheng, and break Zhang Lu first, then you can pacify the land of Hanzhong in one fell swoop." ”

Liu Qi frowned and said: "Our army only has 20,000, and we have come lightly from afar, lack of baggage, and it is inconvenient to attack the city. And Zhang Wei's 30,000 elite soldiers are outside, and it will be a big disaster in the end, if Zhang Lu escapes and rendezvous with him, Hanzhong will never have peace. ”

Xu Shu said: "It's better to encircle the point and send reinforcements, destroy Zhang Wei first, take the surrounding counties, cut off their foreign aid, and then Zhang Lu will surrender without a fight." ”

Liu Qi nodded and said: "The military advisor's plan is very good, Zhang Lu transferred troops to defend Nanzheng, which is really a cocoon, I can peel it off layer by layer." ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "You can divide a force to quickly win the praise, Zhang Lu will divide the army to save it, at this time send another army, cross the South Zheng to take the Dingjun Mountain, if you get here, then Zhang Wei's reinforcements are not afraid, Hanzhong is the thing in the bag!" ”

Wei Yan and Chen Zhi asked for orders one after another, and Zhao Yun had already won a battle, and they were all eager to perform meritorious service.

Liu Qi said with a smile: "Dingjun Mountain is not capable of Huang Hansheng, and Zhang Wei's troops and horses will be dealt with by Liu Pan and Huang Zhong." ”

Liu Pan and Huang Zhong received the order, and Liu Qi ordered Wei Yan to lead the troops to Nanzheng first, and Chen Dao, Liu Xian, and Kou Feng won the praise.

……

The defeated army fled back to Nanzheng, and the city was in a panic, and Chenggu Sacrificial Wine learned the news, and tore up the paper money on the spot, overturned the incense case, and cried.

Yang Song was wielding a peachwood sword on the altar, chanting mantras, and when he heard the movement, he said angrily: "Who disturbs my formation and alarms the gods, can you afford to bear the sin?" ”

Chenggu sacrificed wine and cried: "God does not bless me, what is the use of honoring him? ”

Yang Song said angrily: "Bastard criminal, as a sacrificial wine, you dare to disrespect the gods and disturb the Dao hearts of the sect members? ”

Chenggu Saijiu's expression was hideous, and he opened his arms and roared: "I chant the scriptures here, my home is gone, where are the gods?" ”

"What?" Yang Song was shocked and hurriedly asked, "How is the military situation ahead?" ”

The ghost pawn who reported the news reported that the former army was defeated, Chenggu was lost, and Yang Bai was killed.

"Oh my God!" Yang Song screamed, fell off the high platform, and fell unconscious.

The sacrificial wine hurriedly helped it up, ordered people to carry it to the temple for treatment, and a few people surrounded the Chenggu sacrificial wine to comfort.

"Daoist friends don't have to be like this, although your home is gone, but you are still alive, this is the guidance of the gods, let you get out of misfortune!"

"I heard that Liu Qi is lenient and benevolent, never kills innocents indiscriminately, and treats prisoners preferentially, Brother Dao can rest assured!"

Chenggu sacrificial wine beat his chest and paused: "My disciple, my donations and food are gone...... It's all gone. ”

Zhang Lu changed Hanzhong to Hanning, and there were no county magistrates in various places, but to govern the people with sacrificial wine and governing the people, in addition to receiving the money and food of the regular supplement of the righteous house, the sacrificial wine could also receive materials donated by the congregation and the people, and everyone had at least ten thousand dollars.

Bao Zhong sacrificed wine and persuaded: "Now that we have become a monk and enlightened the Tao, we should let go of everything, and we must not break the Taoist heart for foreign affairs, as long as the righteous house is still there and the sect members are safe, everything will be fine!" ”

"It's easy to say!" Chenggu sacrificed wine and shouted: "It's not your family that was robbed......"

Nan Zheng sacrificial wine said sharply: "I wait for the sacrificial wine, worship the heavens and serve the gods, and set an example for all people, so snobbish, what kind of system?" ”

When everyone saw that Chenggu sacrificial wine was so out of shape because of the loss of money, they all showed disdain, no longer persuaded him, and gathered under the altar one after another.

Nan Zheng said with a sacrifice: "The great sacrifice wine has been successfully promoted, the original god has gone out of the sky, communicating with the gods, I am afraid that I will not be able to turn around for three or five days, I will continue to preside over the formation, and one person will be elected to continue to ascend the altar, who can serve?" ”

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, since Yang Song's last successful practice, his prestige has increased greatly, and the prestige of the Wudoumi Sect has also risen, and almost every family in Hanzhong worships it, and everyone believes in religion.

Seeing what everyone was looking forward to, Zhang Lu gave up the idea of being called the king of Hanning, and planned to be promoted to the heavenly master, and Yang Song was naturally promoted to the next master.

For a while, everyone quarreled again, and Chenggu sacrificial wine wiped his tears next to him for a while, and sneered: "A group of selfish villains, how can they be qualified to serve as the main sacrificial wine?" ”

Now that he had nothing and could not afford to compete for the high sacrificial wine, he bowed down to the altar and prayed secretly to the gods that they too would be damned.
