Zhang Hu frowned deeply, and said: "Boss, Yuan Shu's abrupt garrison is blocking our way five miles away, no matter what his purpose is, he is prepared. However, we hurried over from Hanzhong, without any preparation and no news about Yuan Shu, and it was difficult to defeat Yuan Shu in a short time. ”

After a pause, Zhang Hu continued: "I think the most important thing at present is to find out how many troops Yuan Shu has, and then consider how to deal with Yuan Shu after finding out the distribution of Yuan Shu's forces. ”

Lu Meng took a deep breath and nodded, "You're right, investigate Yuan Shu's situation first!" ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Meng immediately found the scout and asked the scout to find out the news of Yuan Shu.

……

When Lü Meng and Yuan Shu confronted each other, a group of soldiers appeared outside Shangyong City. The number of soldiers was only more than 600 people, and these soldiers wore the clothes of Yizhou soldiers, trotted all the way, and quickly approached Shangyong City.

When Yizhou soldiers appeared outside the city, Zhou Tai, Chen Zhi and Zhang Ren immediately appeared on the city tower.

One by one, the soldiers suddenly rushed to Shangyong City, which made the soldiers on the city tower nervous.

After the distance was extended, the soldiers on the city tower saw that the soldiers outside the city were wearing the uniforms of the Yizhou army, and immediately relaxed again. Zhou Tai watched the army approaching, especially the soldiers below were soldiers from his own camp, with a happy look in his eyes, and said: "Come, come, it's our soldiers, I'll go open the city gate and welcome the vanguard army into the city." ”

After saying that, Zhou Tai turned around and prepared to go downstairs to open the city gate.

Chen Zhi and Zhang Ren looked at each other, with a solemn look in their eyes.

Just as the two of them were about to shout to stop Zhou Tai, a loud shout came from the city tower: "Slow! "The voice is not loud, but it is unquestionable, and it must be obeyed.

When Zhou Tai heard the voice, he immediately stopped.

Zhang Ren and Chen Zhi were relieved when they saw Zhou Tai stop.

Zhou Tai is the deputy governor of the navy, and his official position is greater than Chen Zhi and Zhang Ren, and his power is greater, although Zhou Tai, Zhang Ren and Chen Zhi are all responsible for the defense of Shangyong City, but their qualifications are not as good as Zhou Tai.

If the two forcibly stop Zhou Tai, it is likely that Zhou Tai will not be able to save face and look embarrassed, and the relationship between the two parties will be easily affected by this. Now that there are other people who drink Zhou Tai, it would be even better. The person who spoke was Fa Zheng, who was left by Wang Can to be in charge of Shangyong City.

Although Fa Zheng is a civil official, Fa Zheng is the official of Shangyong City.

Zhou Tai, Chen Zhi and Zhang Ren were all military generals and assisted Fa Zheng to defend the city.

Fa Zheng wore a navy blue robe, a scarf on his head, and a sword hanging from his waist, and walked forward. He walked up to Zhou Tai and said with a smile: "General Zhou, it's not clear whether the soldiers under the city are my Yizhou army, and it's not clear who the people outside the city are leading the troops, so let's wait for the situation to be verified and then open the city gate!" ”

Zhou Tai nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a look at the situation downstairs in the city first." ”

Fa Zheng stepped forward, propped his hands on the city tower, and looked at the army that was gradually approaching.

The 'Yizhou Army' outside the city stopped when they arrived at the city tower.

The first person is a lieutenant in the army. This lieutenant did not have a big official position, but he rushed to the city tower with more than 600 soldiers. The lieutenant looked up at the city tower, took a breath, and shouted loudly: "We are the vanguard army from Hanzhong, open the city gate immediately, we will enter the city!" ”

Fa Zheng frowned slightly, and said: "Something is wrong, the commander of the vanguard army is the little general Lu Meng, why haven't you seen anyone?" ”

He looked at Chen Dao and ordered, "General Chen, you come to question." ”

"No!"

Chen Zhi replied, his head sticking out of the city tower. His eyes wandered under the castle tower, and he immediately asked loudly: "You are the vanguard army, do you know who the commander of the vanguard army is?" ”

When the captain downstairs heard this, a bright smile appeared on his face.

He stared at Chen Zhi and replied loudly: "The commander of our vanguard army is General Lu Menglu, General Lu is a disciple of Lord Zhou Mu, this is a well-known thing, what is there to doubt, hurry up and open the door." General Lü led the vanguard army to arrive, but he had something to delay, let us support Shangyong first, and General Lü arrived later. ”

After hearing this, Zhou Tai immediately said: "This is right, it is indeed a soldier in our army." ”

"Absolutely not!"

Zhang Ren and Fa Zheng spoke in unison, and the two looked at each other with a smile on their faces.

Chen Zhi heard Zhang Ren and Fa Zheng's categorical rebuttal, and a look of shock appeared on his face. Zhou Tai also looked stunned, and asked reflexively, "Why?" ”

Fa Zheng waved his hand and said, "General Zhang, say it!" ”

Zhang Ren arched his hand towards Fazheng, with a grateful look in his eyes.

He, like Chen Zhi, is a young generation of generals under Wang Canhui, although he is capable and highly valued, but he is not in a good situation like Lu Meng. The two of them only relied on themselves, rising step by step, and now Fa Zheng asked him to speak, obviously letting him behave in front of the soldiers.

Zhang Ren clasped his fists and said: "Actually, the reason is very simple, no one in the army has ever called him General Lu. Whether it is a soldier in the army or a general in the army, he is called Lü Meng as a 'little general'. The generals under the city tower said that General Lu was obviously not a soldier in our army, so it can be judged that they were not the Yizhou army. ”

After a pause, Zhang Ren said again: "Judging by the title of 'little general' is a bit arbitrary. However, if you take a closer look at the soldiers outside the castle tower and see the style of the swords at their waists, the appearance of all the soldiers' swords is different from the Han swords in our army, which is a big drawback. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Ren looked at the others, saw that everyone nodded, and his heart also relaxed.

Anyway, he showed his face in the eyes of everyone.

Fa Zheng continued: "Actually, if you take a closer look at the soldiers downstairs in the city, you can find that there is not a single soldier in the wolf tooth battalion, all of them are ordinary soldiers, as the vanguard army of the little general, there are no soldiers in the wolf tooth battalion, which is absolutely abnormal. ”

"If you look closely, you'll notice the fifth soldier behind the captain."

"The soldier squinted slightly, with a long beard and a pair of phoenix eyes, this is his unique appearance, and his temperament is completely different from the soldiers around him, inviolable and inviolable, simply standing out from the crowd."

"I once heard that Liu Bei had two sworn brothers, one of whom was Zhang Fei, who had a swallow's jaw and tiger beard, a broad waist and shoulders, and was a great man in the north; There is also a person named Guan Yu, whose appearance is the same as that of the soldiers outside the city, all of whom have Danfeng eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, a face like red dates, a long beard under the chin, and almost the same height. Based on this, I concluded that the soldiers outside the city must be Liu Bei's army. ”

With a confident expression, Fa Zheng found Guan Yu out.

If Guan Yu was at the back of the army, or in the center of the army, it would still be quite difficult to find out Guan Yu among so many people, but Guan Yu was only separated by a few soldiers from the captain, and he was discovered by Fa Zheng at once.

When Zhou Tai heard this, he said in a deep voice: "Xiaozhi, since you are Liu Bei's soldiers, then open the city gate and kill it!" ”

Fa Zheng shook his head and did not agree.

Chen Zhi said: "Xiaozhi, are you going to catch turtles in the urn?" ”

"Yes!" Fa Zheng smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Guan Yu wants to blend into the city as an internal response, so I will let him enter the city, but well, he can't come and go." ”

As he spoke, a fierce look flashed on Fa Zheng's face.

Fa Zheng looked at Chen Zhi and ordered: "General Chen, you drag Guan Yu on the city tower, don't make him suspicious, and don't let the soldiers outside the city leave." I will now take General Zhou and General Zhang down to the city tower to arrange it, and when I have arranged it, I will send soldiers to inform you, and then you will promise to let Liu Bei's soldiers enter the city. ”

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely stabilize the soldiers outside the city." ”

He looked resolute and had a solemn expression on his face.

Fa Zheng bowed to Chen Zhi, and then took Zhang Ren and Zhou Tai downstairs. Guan Yu helped Liu Bei capture Runan, his martial arts should not be underestimated, and he must be prepared enough to completely annihilate Guan Yu's soldiers.

Guan Yu sent it to the door himself, and Fa Zheng was determined to cut off one of Liu Bei's arms.
