Going up the Yellow River and approaching Jishi Castle, Yang Zheng felt something in his heart.

It is better to investigate secretly than to observe openly.

Standing in the dark, it is easier to see the rights and wrongs.

If something goes wrong with Jiang Fane, Jishi Castle will be like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.

Several people changed their clothes, Liu Heng stood in front, and Yang Zheng hid among them, secretly claiming that he was from Xiping.

Jishi Fort faces cliffs on three sides and the river on one side. One man can guard the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it.

Yang Zheng originally wanted to get through, but the guards checked extremely carefully and searched everyone.

The Qiang people guarding the pass recognized Yang Zheng at a glance.

Just as he was about to bow down, Yang Zheng supported him and whispered in his ear, "Keep it secret, don't expose my traces."

The Qiang people calmed down and ordered the checkpoint to be opened, allowing Yang Zheng and his party to pass.

Within half a year, it had been turned into a fortress.

It is made of rammed rocks and yellow mud. There is only a narrow path winding down from the mountain wall. People can pass through it. War horses need hanging baskets to pull them up.

The fort was in full swing, making weapons and armor, training soldiers, and the young men were quarrying stone and cutting wood, and they were very busy.

"Jiang Fane probably didn't betray." Liu Heng said furtively.

As long as he doesn't draw his sword or go to the battlefield, this kid is still a normal person.

"Why?" Yang Zheng asked.

"If he betrays, he will definitely block the mountain road to the north and kill all the Han people in the fort."

"What if he deliberately let us in and catch them all?"

"If he had the guts, I would kill him right now."

Seeing that Liu Heng's neck was swollen and red, indicating that rabies was about to attack, Yang Zheng quickly comforted him, "Don't be reckless."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud sound of armor and swords in the fort.

The crowd, which had been orderly just now, suddenly became panicked.

Dozens of Qiang soldiers carried spears with murderous intent.

The guards pressed the hilts of their knives, and Liu Heng was about to explode on the spot.

Yang Zheng held his shoulders at this moment.

Yang Zheng can be considered a brave man, and he thinks that his strength is not weak, but at this moment, he feels that he can't pull a bison back even if he presses it.

Since he couldn't pull him back, he simply kicked him in the butt and said, "You fucking see clearly, you're not here for us."

Yang Zheng was so angry that he even cursed the country for generations to come.

Liu Heng fell into a dog pit and fell among the wood. After a few breaths, he got up from the wood and looked at Yang Zheng blankly.

The Qiang soldiers gathered and turned to the south.

Outside the fort, arrogant laughter rang out, "Jiang Fane, today is the day you die!"

To the south of Jishi Fort, there are ten thousand people trying to pass the gate but no one can open it, but to the north it is flat ground.

A dozen barbarians carried four long ladders.

Duan Da, surrounded by more than a thousand foreigners, laughed wildly at Jishi Castle.

"The general treats you well, why did you betray him?" Jiang Fanye stood at the top of the city and said angrily.

"Soldiers on the city, listen, Jiang Fanye colluded with the Qiang people, betrayed the general, and plotted to become independent. Today, I only want to quell the chaos, and the rest will not be blamed. If you care about the general's old kindness, quickly open the city gate and kill him."

Take Jiang Fane's head." Duan Da said righteously.

The Han soldiers on the city wall looked at Jiang Fane with doubtful eyes.

The veterans of the Wuwei camp have a transcendent status in the army.

Duan Da was also the commander of the camp, just below Zhang Te and Zhou Yu. He had always been brave and had a very high status among the troops.

Of course some people will believe what he says.

Not only the Han army, but also the Qiang soldiers looked at him hesitantly.

Jiang Fanye's face was livid with anger, "Duan Da, you evil thief!"

But Duan Da laughed wildly in the city, "How long will it take if you don't take action? Behead Jiang Fane, and I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold!"

Under coercion and inducement, the people on the city wall were ready to take action.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. I, Jiang Fane, swear to the White Stone God that if you betray the general, both humans and gods will be abandoned!"

Baishi God is the god of heaven and is the highest belief of many Qiang tribes.

Jiang Fane swore this, and the Qiang people on the top of the city no longer hesitated in their eyes.

But the Han army did not believe this and turned their swords and spears against Jiang Fane.

Duan Da laughed loudly, holding the Huanshou sword in his right hand and a shield in his left hand, walking towards Jishi Castle step by step.

The momentum seemed to destroy Jishi Castle.

Among the four commanders of the Wuwei camp, Duan Da was indeed the bravest.

I was just always respectful in front of Yang Zheng, but I didn't expect that when I turned around, I would change my face to an aggressive one.

"Who is the traitor?" Liu Heng said dazedly, rubbing his head.

"Isn't this obvious?" Yang Zheng rolled his eyes at him.

If Duan Da is fine, he only needs to guard the mine and wait for his return to make a decision.

There's absolutely no need to go under the knife.

When he attacked Jishi Castle, he probably felt bad and wanted to strike first.

Yang Zheng was heartbroken and sad. It is easy to share adversity, but it is so difficult to share wealth and honor.

Some people are destined not to make it to the end together.

"Attack the city!" Duan Dahuan swung his sword, and the barbarians rushed in roaring.

At this moment, the fort gate opened.

On the top of the city, hundreds of Han soldiers raised their swords and turned to Jiang Fanye.

The Qiang soldiers beside Jiang Fane also drew their swords and faced each other.

Duan Da and Hu Jun rushed in.

Arrogant laughter floated in along with it.

Jiang Fane made his last effort, "Everyone, Pao Ze, the general will return soon..."

The Han troops around looked at me and I looked at you.

Duan Da climbed up to the top of the city step by step, "How dare you fight with a mere Qiang thief?"

The Han troops on the city wall immediately sided with Duan Da.

Some Qiang people also stood with him.

Jiang Fane was surrounded in the middle.

"What are your last words?" Duan Da was sure of victory.

"What are your last words?" At this point, Yang Zheng had to show up.

"Yang, General?" Duan Da was like a frightened cat, jumping up from the ground and retreating continuously.

Everyone looked towards the direction where the voice came from.

Yang Zheng took off his blouse and looked at everyone calmly.

"General!" Jiang Fanye was overjoyed and half-knelt on the ground.

The Qiang soldiers beside him also knelt down.

The Han troops on the city wall were also half kneeling on the ground.

Even the Han troops, Qiang people, and Hu people around Duan Da knelt down for a large area.

In the blink of an eye, Duan Da was surrounded by only a hundred Qiang and Hu.

"General, Jiang Fane is colluding with others and plotting to become independent..."

"At this point, you still want to quibble?" Yang Zheng interrupted him and sighed, "Duan Da, how do you treat me?"

Duan Da didn't have the arrogance he had just now, his face was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes were evasive.

But after seeing the murderous look on Yang Zheng's face, he suddenly burst into laughter, "It's not bad to leave someone in this barren mountain with neither women nor wine? I live and die for you. Is this just for this?"

With your ability, what do you want from outside?"

Yang Zheng also laughed, "You are so capable, why are you only a minor in the Wuwei camp?"
