Five days later, the White Emperor Pass.

On the towering city tower, the veteran Yan Yan stood at the city gate with his hands in his hands, his old eyes filled with solemnity, and he silently looked at the front of the city.

Not far away, countless battle flags with the word "Wei" were flying in his field of vision.

Nearly 50,000 Wei troops rode on foot, and suddenly set off from Yiling, crossed the Three Gorges by land and water, and unexpectedly killed him under the White Emperor Pass.

Yan Yan was stunned at that time, and the defenders of the Han Kingdom who were all over the city were also shocked and stunned, and fell into a panic.

Isn't the Su thief preparing to attack Guanzhong?

Didn't the Wei army in the north gather more than 200,000 horses and horses, and planned to attack Chang'an in three ways?

The commander of Yiling is not Lu Xun's yellow-haired boy, that kid is difficult to convince the public, hasn't he already withdrawn most of the soldiers and horses from Yiling?

Didn't General Guan say that the enemy in Jingzhou was not to be feared, so he transferred more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to fight against the Southern Barbarian rebellion?

But why, the Wei army suddenly launched an attack on the White Emperor Pass?

Moreover, the one who commanded the Wei army turned out to be Su Zhe, the emperor of the Great Wei?

Why?

Why is that?

Yan Yan looked at the Wei army outside the city who was pressed down by the black pressure in the village, and the thoughts in his mind were flying, and thousands of questions sprung up.

Suddenly, his heart was shocked, and a hint of sudden realization welled up in his eyes.

"Could it be that the thief is making the sound of the treachery, and His Majesty and the general have fallen for him?"

Yan Yan muttered to himself, the more he thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case, and the expression on his face was not only solemn, but also shocking.

Bang!

His fist struck the battlements, gritted his teeth and said: "This Su thief is really as unfathomable as the legend, I didn't believe it at first, but today I finally saw it." ”

"Old General Yan, what the hell is going on, shouldn't the Su thief be in Luoyang, how can he appear here?" Wu Lan, the deputy general beside him, trembled and uneasy.

Yan Yan sighed lightly, and speculated his judgment and told Wu Lan and Lei Tong truthfully.

When they heard this, their faces turned blue.

"Hateful, this Su thief is really so cunning that even Prime Minister Zhuge didn't see through his true intentions?"

Wu Lan's fists clicked, and her eyebrows were both shocked and deeply jealous.

Yan Yan looked at the rolling Yangtze River south of Guancheng and sighed: "If General Guan hadn't taken away half of our soldiers and horses, I would have dared to station troops at the mouth of the Three Gorges and block the enemy from crossing the Three Gorges, and then the Su thieves would not have approached my Baidi Pass with a large army." ”

In his words, there was a faint hint of dissatisfaction with Guan Yu.

"It's come to this, we can't help it, General Yan, what should we do now?" Lei Tong sighed.

Yan Yan took a deep breath, calmed down, his old face became as calm as ever, and he said: "Pass the order, order all troops to strictly guard the city and not go to battle, and at the same time send people to Nanzhong immediately to report to General Guan." ”

"No!" Wu Lan and Lei Tong received the order and hurriedly acted separately.

Yan Yan breathed a sigh of relief, clenched his fists, looked at Wei Ying outside the city, and snorted proudly: "Su thief, even if your trick succeeds, with my Yan Yan here, you don't want to step into my Yizhou for half a step!" ”

Yan Yan's voice fell, and he saw a horse galloping from outside the city, approaching the city gate alone.

Yan Yan was curious about who was coming and what his purpose was, and when he saw that there was only one person, he did not defend himself, and ordered that no arrows should be released.

A moment later, a scribe reined in the city and shouted, "I am Kan Ze of Jiangdong, and I want to defect to the emperor of the Han family, let me enter the city quickly." ”

Yan Yan's old face immediately turned strange.

Kan Ze is also a little famous, and although Yan Yan is in Yizhou, he has also heard of it.

It's just that he remembers, didn't this Kan Ze disappear with the fall of the Jiangdong Sun clan, why did he suddenly appear here today, and said that he would surrender to their son of heaven.

"Kan Ze, you said that you want to surrender to my family, why should I believe you?" Yan Yan asked in a deep voice.

Kan Ze was stunned, groaned for a while, and said loudly: "You are General Yan, you can doubt me, but at least give me a chance to explain, if you don't let me into the city, you will definitely not be able to defend this White Emperor Pass!" ”

Yan Yan's expression froze.

It doesn't matter if Kan Ze surrenders or not, the key Kan Ze's last words made him feel shocked and a little jealous.

After hesitating for a moment, Yan Yan ordered loudly: "Open the city gate, lower the drawbridge, and invite Mr. Kan to enter the city." ”

The city gate slowly opened, and the hanging suspension bridge was slowly lowered, Kan Ze secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly rode into the city.

Yan Yan took him into the military mansion and closed the door, intending to interrogate him carefully.

Before Kan Ze's ass could sit firmly, Yan Yan asked, "Mr. Kan, what is your purpose in coming here, you can tell the truth now." ”

"Ouch, I came all the way down, my tongue is dry, General Yan doesn't even have saliva, and it's too inhospitable." Kan Ze licked his lips and complained with a smile.

Yan Yan had no choice but to endure it first and order tea to be served left and right.

Yan Yan patiently watched him slowly slip down a cup of tea, and then asked: "Mr. Kan, Jiangdong has fallen, you should have been captured by the Su thief, it stands to reason that you should have surrendered the Su thief, how can you appear in my White Emperor Pass?" ”

Kan Ze slowly put down the teacup and sighed: "I really don't hide it from the old general Yan, I was indeed captured by the Su thief, and I had to surrender to him because of his residual power, and now I am on the order of the Su thief to persuade the old general to open the city and surrender." ”

Yan Yan's face changed, and his brows furrowed.

Kan Ze immediately said: "Don't worry, old general, I haven't finished my words yet, in fact, I just pretended to surrender to the Su thief, and promised him to come and surrender to the old general, so that I could take the opportunity to escape from the tiger's mouth and come to join the emperor of the Han Dynasty." ”

Yan Yan's face softened slightly, but the suspicion in his eyes remained unabated, and he said in a deep voice: "You said that you pretended to surrender to that thief and sincerely submitted to the son of my family, why should I believe you?" ”

"That's it!"

Kan Ze slowly lifted the hair hanging from his sideburns, revealing the scar that was hidden underneath.

Yan Yan only glanced at it, and couldn't help but feel shocked, but he was surprised to find that Kan Ze was missing an ear.

Kan Ze was ashamed to show this shame to others, only gave Yan Yan a look, and quickly put down his hair to cover it again.

"Mr. Kan, you hurt ......"

"At the beginning, I was ordered by Sun Zhongmou to go to Wei Ying to pay tribute to the Su thief, but the Su thief viciously cut off one of my ears, ruined my appearance, and let me live under this ugly face forever."

Kan Ze hatefully said his experience back then, and said angrily: "General Yan, let me ask you, if you are so humiliated by the Su thief, leaving such an indelible scar, and you have to live in the strange eyes of others for the rest of your life, will you really surrender to the Su thief?" ”

Yan Yan was silent.

After a while, Yan Yan said: "Mr. Kan, when Shicai was outside the pass, you said that you could help me guard the White Emperor Pass, let's hear it." ”
