"General, the people of Zitong are naturally safe. The last general is talking about Badong and Brazil counties. If Zhang He succeeds in plundering the people, what is the point of the people who moved from Hanzhong? You should not passively defend..." Pang
De Wen tactfully questioned Zhang Fei's decision to withdraw Huang Quan and Yan Yan.
"I don't have enough soldiers here." Zhang Fei said casually.
"That can't be..."
When Pang De continued to argue, he was stopped by Huang Quan, "General Pang, don't worry, I think General Yide has everything in mind."
"Ah?" Pang De was surprised when he heard that Huang Quan actually said that Zhang Fei had a good idea. Isn't this man a standard reckless man? Is it a deliberate compliment? This is not a good trend.
Although Huang Quan didn't know Zhang Fei very well, Yan Yan, who partnered with him to fight the rebellion, had suffered losses from Zhang Fei, who was both rough and thin. Zhang Fei's appearance could easily confuse others.
Seeing that his opinion was not supported, Pang De also picked up a cup and drank with Zhang Fei. After a while, his personal guard Wu Er walked into the room. He leaned against Zhang Fei and whispered in Zhang Fei's ear.
Zhang Fei, who had been 'drinking', suddenly sat upright, his eyes as bright as black pearls not looking drunk at all.
Zhang Fei placed the wine glass heavily on the table, then stood up and said: "Zhang He is leading the people to gather in Danqu County. General Yan, you are familiar with the terrain and environment there, so you can quickly lead your troops to arrest him first."
, I led the army to follow closely behind."
"Wei." Yan Yan clasped her fists and left.
"There are only 20,000 soldiers in Langzhong. I will select 10,000 elite soldiers to go to Danqu to fight Zhang He. You must defend Gongheng (Huang Quan). We must keep people on the Micang Mountain trail. Cao Cao left a lot of soldiers and horses for Xia Houyuan.
"Zhang Fei said solemnly.
Huang Quan frowned: "Why don't Yide bring more troops? Zhang He's troops crossing the border should not be less than 30,000. There is no need to leave so many defenders in Langzhong."
"That's it. I defeated Zhang He once in Nanjun. He is nothing special." Zhang Fei said disapprovingly.
"General Yide should not underestimate the enemy. After all, Zhang He is Cao Cao's favorite general and he still has some abilities." Huang Quan reminded.
Zhang Fei did not answer Huang Quan's words. He leaned down and whispered in Wu Er's ear.
"Wei." Wu Er nodded after hearing this, turned around and walked out.
"Ling Ming, you also hurry up and prepare your troops. We will set off for Danqu in the morning." Zhang Fei continued to give instructions.
"Wei." Pang De's voice was loud and he looked very excited. He had just watched Zhang Fei deploy his troops and felt that the other party did not look like a reckless man. He was very much looking forward to the next battle.
Zhang Fei led 10,000 elite troops across the mountains and ridges, and it took several days to reach the southern part of Hanchang County in the east.
Pang De was not familiar with the terrain of Ba County. When he found out that his destination was not Danqu County, he couldn't help showing a puzzled expression: "General, didn't we go to Danqu County to fight Zhang He? How did we end up here in Hanchang?"
"In order to avoid my eyes and ears, Zhang He sneaked into the territory of Bajun many times and in small quantities. Now if he wants to return to Hanzhong, he will definitely go north along the Danqu River. I asked General Yan to go to Danqu to hold him back, just to allow time.
Cut off Zhang He's return path." Zhang Fei explained.
Pang De nodded, then clasped his fists and said: "It is rumored that Hanchang has been occupied by Cao's soldiers, and the last general is willing to be the vanguard to attack the city."
Zhang Fei waved his hand and said, "We can't attack the city openly. It will take too long in Hanchang. General Yan only has 3,000 troops. I'm afraid I won't be able to contain Zhang He for too long."
"What the general means..." Pound looked confused.
Zhang Fei immediately selected hundreds of soldiers, then pretended to be the refugees Zhang He had recruited in Sanba, and easily opened the city gate of Hanchang County. In less than two hours, he eliminated Cao Jun in Hanchang. When the guard Jiejiao escaped,
Killed by Pound with a bow and arrow.
After pacifying Hanchang without stopping, Zhang Fei and Pang De continued southward along the Dangqu River, and encountered Yan Yan's scouts asking for help along the way.
Because Yan Yan had fewer people and marched faster, he arrived at Danqu County three days before Zhang Fei. He set up camp in the canyons of Daqing Mountain and Danqu River, and successfully blocked Zhang He's northward passage. However, due to the disparity in troops, he could only resist for two days. Now he is heading towards
Zhang Fei retreated in the direction he entered.
When Zhang Fei heard that this was okay, he hurriedly ordered: "Ling Ming, you first suppress the rear army, and I will rescue General Yan."
"Uh...Okay..." Pang De actively wanted to challenge, but Zhang Fei didn't give him a chance at all.
Two thousand elite soldiers followed Zhang Fei and met Yan Yan at dusk. They also met Zhang He himself who was chasing after him.
Because the sound of water in the Danqu Canal covered up the sound of horse hooves, Zhang He didn't notice Zhang Fei's reinforcements at all. After breaking through Yan Yan's camp just now, he led thousands of people to pursue them without stopping.
The reason for this bitter hatred is that during Zhang He's confrontation with Yan Yan, his subordinate Gao Zuo laughed at the opponent's age. As a result, he was beheaded by Yan Yan in front of the stronghold. As the leader, Zhang He wanted to make amends.
"Where are you going, Mr. Yan Yan?" Zhang He chased after him with his whip raised.
"Zhang He, my son, Zhang Fei from Yan is here."
At dusk, the light in the canyon was dim, and Zhang He was about to catch up with Yan Yan.
Suddenly a roar came from beside Yan Yan, and Zhang He felt that the voice was quite familiar.
Before he had time to think, Zhang Fei's eight-foot-long snake spear was thrust towards him, with the force of a meteor falling to the moon.
"Zhang Fei?" Zhang He's eyes were as wide as bells, the man who almost killed him in Nanjun.
Zhang He was surprised. He didn't stop moving at all. He set up his iron spear and tried his best to open the eight-foot-long snake spear.
"You have done great things in Bajun, so please stay here with me today." Zhang Fei chuckled, turned around and rushed over again.
Zhang He swallowed his saliva when he heard this. From Zhang Fei's current tone, it seemed that he had already known that he was going deep into Badi. Could it be that this reckless man had some plan?
Zhang He tried his best to fight Zhang Fei, but due to the obvious gap in strength, he could not resist him after only ten rounds, so he had to fight hard and escape south along the Danququ River.
With the power of his victory, Zhang Fei not only chased Zhang He's soldiers to cover them up, but also successfully recaptured Yan Yan's camp in the canyon. Zhang He abandoned his helmet and armor and fled back to the camp in Daqing Mountain.
Zhang He used Daqing Mountain in Danqu as his base and sent Cao's troops everywhere to coerce the people. In two months, they plundered more than 30,000 people, and almost every Cao soldier captured a commoner.
In the final stage of driving the people to gather in Danqu, the appearance of Yan Yan and Zhang Fei made Zhang He suspicious. After returning to Danqu Village, he looked embarrassed and said nothing.
"Why does General Zhang look so sad? Didn't you break Yan Yan's camp this afternoon? Could it be that this old guy escaped?" General Yang Ang asked curiously.
He followed Zhang Lu and surrendered to Cao Cao, but he did not have the opportunity to follow him to Yecheng to enjoy the blessings, so he was left in Hanzhong and placed under the command of Zhang He.
Zhang He nodded with a grimace, pondered for a moment and then said truthfully: "I almost caught up with that old guy, but it's a pity that Zhang Fei arrived at the critical moment..."
"Zhang Fei? He...why did he appear here? Is there some conspiracy?" Yang Ang asked in surprise.
"Zhang Fei is a reckless man. Where did he get his strategy? Apart from drinking and whipping soldiers for fun, I haven't heard of him having any merits." Zhang He looked disdainful.
"Isn't Zhang Fei known as the 'enemy of ten thousand people'?" Yang Ang asked.
"This black guy is too powerful..."
