Yang Zheng hasn't had a good night's sleep since time travel.

Either I'm on tenterhooks or I'm worried about food.

I had to hold my knife while sleeping at night, and I didn't dare to fall asleep yet, for fear that I would be picked up by wild beasts in the middle of the night, or my head would be cut off by the Shu army.

Now that I have returned to the army, I finally feel at ease.

I slept very deeply.

Figures flashed through the dream. Past and present lives overlapped continuously. There were parents and bosses in the past life, the old father in this life, General Cao Shuang, the dead brothers from Wuweiying, and even Pang Hui...

But the most profound thing is a hazy figure, teaching myself to read and practice martial arts, but no matter what, I can never see that face clearly. I only feel that his eyes are as sharp as blades, penetrating the fog and piercing myself. It's like a mark in my mind.

It seems that he is also surrounded by mist.

When I woke up, the sun in May was shining brightly.

I feel that all the strength in my body has returned and the wound is not so painful.

"The general is awake." Zhao Deng looked delighted.

Wang Xi and Linghu Sheng were also around.

Yang Zheng rubbed his groggy head, but suddenly heard the rumble of war drums outside.

"The general is attacking Shenling." Linghu Sheng looked outside the camp.

Although we know that Shenling must be destroyed, there is no telling what price it will cost.

In this battle of rising power, the Shu army's 30,000 to 40,000 troops blocked Cao Shuang's 120,000 troops. Wang Ping and Fei Yi were considered famous generals in the world.

Moreover, Fei Yi was still famous for his political strategy, and he would never let his guard down Shenling easily.

Not long after, the sounds of fighting were heard outside.

Yang Zheng, Linghu Sheng, Zhao Deng, and Wang Xi walked out of the camp and saw countless black-armored Wei troops rushing towards the mountains on the northern hillside.

Arrows flew like locusts from the mountains, and rolling stones rained down like falling trees.

Before the Wei army reached the halfway point, corpses were already lying on the ground, and blood was slowly flowing down like a stream.

Legend has it that the crossbows of the Shu army were all specially made by Prime Minister Zhuge, and they could penetrate heavy armor within fifty steps.

It was these crossbowmen that greatly restrained Wei's cavalry.

But crossbows put a lot of pressure on logistics, and arrows are also consumables.

The sound of the war drums gradually became louder, and despite a certain amount of casualties, the Wei soldiers still launched an attack on the mountains desperately.

General Cao Shuang and Xia Houxuan, the governor of Yongliang, personally supervised the formation. The Wuwei, Zhongba, Zhongjian, and Yongliang armies all moved forward vigorously.

No matter how resentful and dissatisfied the soldiers are, their unanimous wish is to return to Guanzhong.

What Yang Zheng had seen before were small scenes, two to three hundred people fighting with weapons, but now it was a big scene over the mountains and plains, with countless good men and women generously dying. He couldn't help but feel excited, and he didn't even have the slightest fear.

Perhaps he has completely adapted to his new identity and this era.

Or maybe he originally had a heroic dream in his heart.

Come to think of it, it is recorded in the book that it is so majestic to take the head of an enemy general among thousands of troops.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and the sky also changed color.

Half an hour later, the arrow rain from the Shu army gradually became sparse, and arrows were everywhere on the hillside, like a reed forest.

Even the logs and rolling stones are scarce.

The Wei army paved a bloody path with human lives.

A dozen brave generals rushed to the front with swords, like a flood, rising up the mountains from bottom to top.

In less than an hour, the flags of the Shu army were chopped down one by one, and the mountains were covered with black armor.

The Shu army retreated into the mountains and forests.

The battles on the northern ridges are almost over.

The cheers of the Wei army echoed all over the mountains and plains.

Zhao Deng and Wang Xi beside him cheered.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but be overjoyed. When he returned to Guanzhong, he asked Cao Shuang for a transfer. It wouldn't be difficult for him to become a field sergeant, but it wouldn't be difficult for him to be a county captain, right?

If Cao Shuang, thinking of his love, made Dangdang the governor, wouldn't he become a prince?

But this can only be a dream.

Anyone who can serve as governor in Cao Wei is from a well-known family.

The family roots run deep.

If you are in a situation like this, don't have any illusions. You won't be able to sit still even if you go up there.

No matter what, let's get out of this broken ship first.

Maybe the original owner had a master-servant relationship with Cao Shuang, but Yang Zheng did not.

So there is no psychological burden.

You can't just look at a big pit in front of you and just jump into it, right?

With calculations in his mind, Linghu Sheng beside him said: "The people of Shu have no intention of fighting to the death. Don't stop them when they return to the army. They will be surrounded by enemies. Don't push the invaders when they are poor! The people of Shu will definitely cover up and kill them!"

This sentence is said in Sun Tzu's Art of War, and it is not surprising that Yang Zheng, a later generation, knows it.

But it’s not easy to tell it from Linghu Sheng’s mouth.

In this era, not everyone has access to military books. In fact, all books are monopolized by aristocratic families.

When Liu Bei entered Shu, he couldn't even find a copy of Shangshu, so Zhuge Liang wrote it down from memory.

Since Cao Pi adopted Chen Qun's advice and implemented the Nine-Rank Officials Law, the official titles in the court have been monopolized, and everyone who has established himself in the court has a profound background.

The famous general Zhang He played a decisive role in the Guandu War. Since joining Cao Wei, he has worked conscientiously and made many military exploits.

He was given a high status, but he was always hanging around on the periphery.

Sima Yi got up from behind and easily landed on top of him.

Even his former subordinate Guo Huai surpassed Zhang He in just a few years due to his Taiyuan Guo family and his filial and honest background.

Including Sima Yi, Cao Shuang, Xia Houxuan, Guo Huai, etc., have been officials and generals for generations.

The Wei state is full of second-generation officials and second-generation generals.

The Three Kingdoms have entered an era of paying attention to family background.

The era when the heroes of the former Three Kingdoms grew up in the wild has long gone.

"What Zi Qian said is right, the Shu army will definitely cover up and kill him from behind!" Yang Zheng agreed with Linghu Sheng.

The gap in Shenling was opened, and the Wei army lost their fighting spirit and swarmed forward, fighting for the road. The situation suddenly became chaotic.

Yang Zheng looked at the mountains and forests on the east and west sides, and was startled by the large flocks of birds.

"The Shu people are still ambushing us, let's leave too!"

In fact, without Yang Zheng's orders, everyone around him moved.

Since his debut, Sima Yi captured Meng Da, fought against Zhuge, destroyed Liaodong, and forced Sun Quan to retreat. He used his troops like a ghost and a god, subtly becoming the backbone of Cao Wei.

This attack on Shu was a rare defeat for Wei in the past ten years, which further highlighted the Cao family's incompetence.

The Wei army was in chaos, and the generals were unable to control it, and the situation gradually got out of control.

The mountain pass was so narrow that the armies trampled on each other and many people rolled down the mountains.

At this moment, in the east and west forest, shouts shook the sky, and the Shu army suddenly came out, with smoke and dust billowing from behind. It seemed that Jiang Wan was leading the army.

When people are in a desperate situation, naturally everyone is united and united. But now that the gap leading to Guanzhong is open, and seeing a glimmer of hope, no one is willing to fight to the death.

The arrows rained down again, even more violently than before.

There was even the sound of cavalry trampling the ground from behind.

The crowd became even more panicked, and armor and weapons were thrown all over the floor.

What seemed like unity just now turned into a rout in the blink of an eye.

In such a situation, I am afraid that even if Sun Wu comes back to life, there will be nothing he can do.

The four people were abducted by the rebels and pushed to the mountain pass involuntarily.

Suddenly, someone in the rebel army was heard shouting, "Don't mess up, don't mess up!"

It’s Cao Shuang’s voice!

Yang Zheng took a look from a distance and saw Cao Shuang, Xia Houxuan and others, surrounded by hundreds of personal guards, fleeing north in embarrassment.

The generals and governor-general didn't care about the rioting troops around them, and they were charging randomly.

Even some of Cao Shuang's personal guards escaped quietly.

The majesty of the general has long since been wiped out.
