Here in Nanzheng City, Zhang Lu, Yang Song and others are saying that Liu Cheng has nothing to fear. They only need to rely on the dangerous pass and hold on. If it goes on for a long time, Liu Cheng will be defeated and retreat.
It was at this time that people guarding Nanzheng City came rushing all the way.
He said these words in a panic.
After hearing what this man said, the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere suddenly disappeared.
"What?!"
After being stunned for a moment, Zhang Lu was shocked and stood up suddenly.
His voice has changed a bit.
I just felt that my eyes were going dark.
The whole person felt a little dizzy.
"The Governor of Nanzheng Pass said that Deputy Governor Yang Ang did not obey orders and had to lead troops out of the pass.
Eat the vanguard Liu Cheng who came with a small number of troops.
Finally, when they were about to win, a lot of Liu Cheng's soldiers and horses suddenly poured out from behind the plank road.
The deputy governor's soldiers and horses were running wild and could not be stopped. They rushed straight to Nanzheng Pass and could not close the door at all..."
After listening to this man's report, Zhang Lu felt his temples pounding!
After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said: "Yang Ang mistaken me!"
After that, he took a breath and stared at this person: "Where is Yang Ang now?!"
From his angry look, it can be seen that he is preparing to get angry at Yang Ang and kill him.
The man said: "I heard from the Chief Governor that the Deputy Governor was killed by thieves here at Nanzheng Pass..."
As the man said this, he glanced at Zhang Lu and Yang Song quietly and quickly.
"A good death!!"
As soon as his voice fell, a burst of cheers was heard!
"Even if such an incompetent general comes back, he must be hacked to death!
Behead in public display!
It’s better to die in the hands of thieves now, lest you come back to disgust others!”
Yang Song said angrily, his face turned red with anger.
Yang Ang is also from the Yang family and is Yang Song's younger brother.
What Zhang Lu reported made him extremely angry and wanted to get angry.
As a result, before Zhang Lu could say anything, Yang Song had already expressed his stance.
For a while, it was hard for Zhang Lu to say anything.
This is similar to how sometimes, when a child makes a big mistake and gets into a big trouble, a parent would give his child a good beating before speaking.
It looks like beating, but in fact it is protecting your own child.
It was in Nanzheng Pass that Yang Ang's head was pickled and was very unstable.
The main reason is that the pot is too big and heavy...
It was obviously Yang Bai's fault, but now, it was all his fault.
However, he is already dead.
I have no ability to argue for myself at all, I can only let others whitewash it...
"Yang Ang really deserves to die! Death is not a pity!
It's just that it was easy for him to die, but it completely ruined the good situation!
What should we do if we open the doors of Nanzheng?"
After Zhang Lu scolded Yang Ang a few times, he looked at Yang Song and asked.
"Although Nanzheng Pass has been broken, my lord is not without the strength to fight.
The lord can mobilize some troops and horses, let Yang Bai lead them, and station them outside Nanzheng City for defense.
Then all the troops and horses at Yangping Pass and Yinping Bridge were withdrawn.
Get all these soldiers and horses to Nanzheng City and Dingjun Mountain.
Defend these two places.
At the same time, immediately report to Liu Yan and ask him to send troops and horses to help..."
After Yang Song said these words, Zhang Lu suddenly became a little silent.
Because Yang Song's words were tantamount to making him give up all these passes.
Most of the land in Hanzhong was also voluntarily given up, and only the troops were concentrated in Dingjun Mountain and Nanzheng City.
Zhang Lu felt extremely unwilling and entangled in giving up so much land.
Yang Song saw Zhang Lu's embarrassment and immediately advised him: "Master Fu, this is not the time to feel sorry for the land.
Nanzheng Pass has been captured and fell into enemy hands.
It's like the door is already open.
That fellow Liu Cheng has many soldiers and horses in his hands.
The other side only needs to send people to go around Yangping Pass and Yinping Bridge, and then they can attack from both front and back, and the roads for soldiers and horses there will be blocked.
When the time comes, the soldiers and horses in those two places will only fail.
Large areas of land in Hanzhong will still fall into the hands of the enemy.
Rather than doing this, it is better to lose land and save people.
With the troops and horses in hand, it is not impossible to make a comeback in the future and regain the land of Hanzhong..."
After Yang Song finished speaking, Zhang Lu was silent for a while, then he sighed and said with a look of great sadness and weakness: "Then let's do it like this!"
All the high-spiritedness before was gone...
After Zhang Lu made such a decision, a messenger soon arrived, carrying a letter, starting from Nanzheng City and galloping all the way to Yangping Pass and Yinping Bridge.
To convey Zhang Lu’s order to withdraw his troops...
Not too far away from Nanzheng City, Yang Bai, who looked anxious and uneasy, let out a sigh of relief after receiving the accurate message.
While he was grateful to his brother Yang Song for saving him from punishment, he was also extremely grateful to his dead brother Yang Ang.
Yang Bai was in the big tent, and a tablet was set up in front of Yang Bai with Yang Ang's name written on it.
"You are already dead anyway. Instead of dragging both of us down, it would be better if you bear all the blame and Zhang Lu can't do anything to you.
For the sake of our family, I can only make you suffer some injustice...
Don’t worry, my siblings, as well as Ruier, I will take good care of them and prevent them from being wronged in the slightest..."
Yang Bai looked at Yang Ang's ranking and thought so casually.
After saying this, he bowed deeply to Yang Ang's memorial tablet.
"Crack!"
That is, when Yang Bai bent down to salute to the lowest point, Yang Ang's tablet suddenly fell over and hit Yang Bai's head.
Yang Bai was so shocked that he was covered in white hair and sweat...
…
"Hahaha, Youwei, Suqing, you two did a great job!
Really, we defeated Nanzheng Pass so quickly!"
Here at Nanzheng Pass, Liu Cheng held Zhang Xiu's hand with one hand and Gao Shun's hand with the other, and praised them fiercely.
This attitude made Zhang Xiu and Gao Shun feel happy.
"Uncle Emperor, there is something unclear at the end of the day.
The emperor's uncle asked me to lead my headquarters, break away from the brigade, and speed all the way to Nanzheng Pass... Could it be that the emperor's uncle had already expected Youwei...
…Otherwise, how could the timing be such a coincidence?”
After saying some words, Gao Shun saluted Liu Cheng and said this, asking out the doubts that had been in his mind for a long time.
Next to him, Zhang Xiu also cheered up, waiting for the emperor's uncle's answer.
He was also very confused about this matter.
When Liu Cheng heard this, he smiled and said: "..."
