Bai Xiaowen only checked the terrain and did not urge the army to attack the pass. Two days passed peacefully like this.
On the third day, Bai Xiaowen still led his troops to check in front of the stronghold.
None of the generals understood what he meant.
Ma Yunlu said: "Yan Gong also watched it the day before yesterday, and he watched it yesterday, and he watched it again today. Can he kill Er Yang and win the pass?"
Ma Dai quickly restrained his little sister.
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "We will definitely win if we rob the camp tonight."
So they were allocated and dispatched secretly.
Although the generals had received military orders, there was disbelief on all of their faces.
After all, the terrain of this pass is too dangerous and condescending; it is difficult for the army to deploy. In this narrow and dense terrain, all it takes is a rain of arrows from Zhang Lu's army to prevent Yuan's army from advancing.
What's the use of hijacking the camp? Could it be that Er Yang was so stupid that he didn't even arrange for a sentry to keep watch at night?
At the second watch, Bai Xiaowen ordered Han Qi (Camille), Li Shuyi, Qiao Rui, Han Xu and Cecilia to lead an elite team and approach Zhang Lu's military camp.
Other aboriginal generals were not optimistic about this allocation.
Zhang He admonished: "Both Yang and Yang are Han generals, so the camp must be tightly guarded. If the lord wants to send people to infiltrate, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed, and it will only cost the soldiers."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have already prepared internal support in Zhang Lu's military camp. This trip will definitely be successful."
Zhang He and other generals were a little unconvinced.
At the third watch, Zhang Xiu and Zhang He followed Bai Xiaowen's order and led an army to quietly march towards the pass camp to support the infiltration team.
When they arrived near the camp, they saw only a blazing fire. The Zhanglu Army camp in Yangping Pass was already on fire. People were shouting and horses were neighing, and it was a mess.
Zhang Xiu and Zhang He looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
"When did Duke Yan prepare an internal response? Sure enough, ghosts and gods are capable of unexpected things!" This was a thought that ran through the minds of both of them at the same time.
However, the two fierce generals did not hesitate and led their troops directly towards the pass camp.
In the light of the fire, Yang Ang was stabbed to death by Zhang Xiu; Yang Ren abandoned all his subordinates, flags, and baggage and fled. Bai Xiaowen led his army straight into the pass and advanced on Yangping Pass.
Zhang Wei, the guard of Yangping Pass, saw Yang Ren fleeing alone and the pass was captured. He knew that he could not defend Yangping Pass, so he abandoned the pass and fled overnight.
Bai Xiaowen took advantage of the situation and occupied Yangping Pass.
The generals congratulated each other and asked when the internal response would be prepared, but Bai Xiaowen just smiled and did not answer.
In fact, Bai Xiaowen's observation of the terrain during the past three days was just a pretense. He had already studied the terrain near Yangpingguan clearly through mountain and river geographical maps.
Under the guise of observing the terrain, he was actually looking for an opportunity to secretly use the mind-confusing charm to control Captain Zhang Lu at the pass camp.
Although Lieutenant Zhang Lu is an elite template, it is still difficult to compete with the awakening skill Taiping Lu.
However, Bai Xiaowen had bad luck in the past two days, and none of the captains under his control were responsible for night patrols.
It wasn't until the third day that Bai Xiaowen took control of a school lieutenant in charge of night patrol, and then sent Li Shuyi and other teammates to sneak in, set fire to create chaos. Then Zhang He and Zhang Xiu, two lord-level fierce generals, led their troops to charge and seize the pass.
.
Zhang Wei and Yang Ren lost Yangping Pass and returned to Nanzheng to see Zhang Lu.
Zhang Lu asked: "You said Yangping Pass and Hanzhong were so dangerous, why was it lost in less than ten days?"
Zhang Wei said: "This time it was all because Yang Ang and Yang Ren lost the pass and there was no danger to defend Yangping Pass, so they had no choice but to retreat."
Zhang Lu, who was full of capitulationism, added: "The Yan State's troops are like gods, how can our army resist? It is better to surrender."
Zhang Wei was still dissatisfied: "Nanzheng City has been in operation for twenty years. The city has high walls and thick walls, and the grain and grass reserves can be used for ten years. Why should we surrender? Maybe within a few months, the world will change and Yuan Xi's army will have to retreat.
Woolen cloth."
Zhang Wei was referring to Jingzhou in the south. Yangzhou had not yet been pacified. If the Sun and Liu families went north to Wancheng and Hefei, Bai Xiaowen would not be able to fight on two fronts and would definitely have to return for reinforcements.
Zhang Lu was persuaded again and agreed to defend Nanzheng.
Zhang Wei added: "According to Yang Ren, Yuan Xi is proficient in Taoism and seems to know a way of bewitching. He can control a soldier to do his best, steal doors, set fires, assassinate, etc., and do everything he can. This
Brother, you must be on guard against weird Taoist techniques."
Zhang Lu said: "This is a charm that confuses the mind. It comes from the same source as Zhang Jiao's magic. As long as the supervising sergeant drinks the talisman water I prepared, you can resist the power of Yuan Xi's charm."
Bai Xiaowen led the army to the foot of Nanzheng City, saw this fortified city, and set up camp.
Bai Xiaowen gathered the generals to discuss strategies to break the city.
Time: Before the drum is beaten.
Location: Zhangxiu Camp.
Characters: Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu.
The small theater begins.
When Zhang Xiu saw Jia Xu busy writing and painting, he asked, "Sir, do you still have the leisure to write letters here?"
Jia Xu smiled and said: "This is not just a letter, it is my first step into the world."
"What do you mean, sir?"
Jia Xu said: "Nanzheng is the capital of Hanzhong. Zhang Lu has been running it for many years and built an iron barrel city. Duke Yan mobilized the army to attack, and it will eventually be conquered, but it will inevitably take a long time, which will affect the next plan to capture Xichuan
."
Zhang Xiu nodded: "What then?"
Jia Xu then smiled and said: "That's you, general. I won't tell ordinary people, so please come here."
Zhang Xiu came over.
Jia Xu said in a low voice: "Did you know that there is a man named Yang Song in Nanzheng City, who is greedy for money and has no integrity, and is the easiest to bribe? The most important thing is that Zhang Lu has the eyes to distinguish between loyal and traitors, and Yang Song is in Hanzhong
He is in a high position. As long as he does this, he will surely be able to break the city."
Zhang Xiu said: "If you have this good plan, why don't you offer it to Duke Yan?"
Jia Xu smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Xiu understood and said helplessly: "Sir, don't make the same mistake as last time."
Jia Xu said with a smile: "I am sure that Duke Yan has not thought of this. This is not determined by intelligence, but by experience. Duke Yan is only more than 20 years old and does not understand the people in all states in the world. Even if he is a genius, he does not know Yang
If I were not a person of this nature, it would be difficult for me to come up with this clever strategy to win over internal agents. I don’t need to wait long, as long as Yan Gong encounters a wall at the gate of Nanzheng City, I will come forward to offer suggestions."
Zhang Xiu said with admiration: "Sir, you are really smart."
Afterwards, Zhang Xiu followed the sound of the Jujiang drum and arrived at Bai Xiaowen's camp.
Bai Xiaowen asked the generals if there was a good strategy for destroying the city, but all the generals bowed their heads and remained silent.
Bai Xiaowen then said: "It is not difficult to break Nanzheng. Even the strongest city can be broken from the inside."
Zhang He and Zhang Xiu asked: "Master, are you going to use the previous method again?" They all remembered the strange night fire in the camp at Yangping Pass.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said: "The same method can never be used again. I am going to bribe someone from Nanzheng City for my use... Hmm? General Zhang Xiu, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Xiu coughed loudly and his face turned red: "No, it's nothing, I choked on my saliva."
