Guanghan County, outside Zitong City, Jiang Wu's corpse has long been unrecognizable.

On the city wall, Gan Ning's eyes were split, and he was filled with righteous indignation, so he prepared to lead his troops out of the city, so as to fight to the death with the Yizhou army.

"Stomp, stomp!"

A burst of hurried footsteps sounded, and I saw Tian Feng panting and running to the top of the city wall, stretched out his hand to stop Gan Ning, and said: "General Xingba, calm down first, don't fall for the enemy's tricks." ”

Gan Ning suddenly raised his arms, the armor on his body clanged, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The thief deceives people too much, and he doesn't even let go of Xiaode's corpse, how can I calm down at this time?" ”

The assembled sergeants and soldiers of Guan also had hideous faces, and shouted one after another: "We are willing to go out of the city and fight to the death with the thieves, although we have no regrets!" ”

"Fight to the death, although there is no regret in death!"

Tian Feng was also furious when he saw the corpse of Jiang Wu who had been ruined, but he still forcibly held back his anger after all, and kept persuading Gan Ningmo to leave the city.

However, no matter how he persuaded him, Gan Ning was bent on going his own way and wanted to go out and retrieve Jiang Wu's body.

Later, Tian Feng's temper also came up, and he actually pointed at Gan Ning's nose and scolded: "I am outnumbered among the thieves, if you can rely on the courage and strength of the horseman, you can defeat the thief army, even if I go out of the city with you, what's the matter?" ”

Speaking of this, Tian Feng stumbled and shouted: "But the matter in front of me is obviously a trap, now when you go out of the city to fight, not only will there be no way to retrieve Xiaode's corpse, I'm afraid that these soldiers who follow you out of the city will also die in vain!" ”

"You will not raise troops out of anger, how can you, as a general in Guanzhong and the commander of the three armies, put the three armies in danger because of a moment of righteous indignation?"

Tian Feng's voice was full of violentness at this time, and when he spoke, his beard curled up and he foamed.

He was originally the kind of person who was upright and dared to speak out and advise, sometimes even in the face of Wen Zhao, he would rebuke him when he was excited, let alone Gan Ninghu?

Gan Ning was scolded by Tian Feng for a while, and the anger in his heart suddenly decreased a lot, but he still said with some indignation; "What the thief army has done is too inferior, and if I don't take revenge, my heart will be uneasy!"

Seeing that Gan Ning's words were loosened, Tian Fengcai often breathed a sigh of relief.

Then his face sank and he said, "Xingba, don't worry, they will definitely pay a heavy price for what they did today!" ”

When he said this, Tian Feng looked at Yang Huai and Gao Pei outside the city, and his slightly narrowed eyes kept flashing a little cold light.

This time, even if he is as stable as Tian Yuanhao, he is really angry!

Don't think that Tian Feng is a celebrity and will be humble and can hide his emotions no matter what happens.

On the contrary, Tian Feng's bad temper is rare in the world, but he has excellent cultivation, so he rarely gets angry. But as long as Tian Feng was angry, no one in Guanzhong dared to continue arguing with him.

Now that Yang Huai and Gao Pei have angered Tian Feng, no one knows what he will do.

Forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, Tian Feng looked at the Yizhou army under the city, and suddenly said to Gan Ning: "Have you ever seen Zhang Ren's banner?" ”

Gan Ning looked at it for a while, shook his head and said, "Zhang Ren doesn't seem to be in the city." ”

Brushing his beard, Tian Feng said: "I have heard that Zhang Ren is upright and upright, and I don't think I will do such a thing." ”

"And with Zhang Renzhi's talent, I don't necessarily can't guess this kind of carving insect skill, and I can't lure our army out of the city at all."

"I think it must be Gao Pei and Yang Huai, because they were not angry that they were defeated by our army before, so they insisted on making this decision, intending to lure our army out of the city to break it, in order to repay the shame of the day."

Gan Ning felt that Tian Feng's words made a lot of sense, and a cold light immediately flashed in his eyes, and said: "Gao Pei and Yang Huai, they can't be kept!" ”

Tian Feng didn't speak, just narrowed his eyes, and then bowed slightly.

The sun is setting, dyeing the sky red; The wind howled, and occasionally a large number of fallen leaves fluttered in the sky.

The sky gradually darkened, and Yang Huai and Gao Pei saw that there was no way to provoke the Chinese army out of the city, but they returned in a huff.

Zhang Ren, who stayed in the camp, knew what was going on without asking.

"If Tian Feng and Gan Ning were really provoked out of the city so easily, wouldn't they have become unworthy of their name?"

"Intending to humiliate the corpse of a person to lure the enemy out of the city will not only fail to succeed, but will provoke the enemy army to hate the enemy and lower his own value."

Glancing at the two of them lightly, Zhang Ren didn't say anything, but he suddenly felt a trace of disgust for them in his heart.

It's just that Zhang Ren didn't show this disgust on his face, but comforted the two of them and said: "Tian Feng and Gan Ning are not easy to follow, they didn't lure these two out of the city, and the two generals should not take it to heart." ”

"It's just that today the thief army will be indignant, and may take risks to rob the camp. In the past few days and nights, the two generals still need to be cautious and take precautions, and they will not let the Guanzhong army take advantage. ”

Seeing that Zhang Ren not only did not blame the two of them, but instead comforted and reminded them, they felt a little better in their hearts.

With a long sigh of relief, Gao Pei said: "General, please rest assured, this plan can not be repeated, if the thief really dares to go out of the city and rob the camp again, I will definitely let him have no return!" ”

When Yang Huai heard this, he also nodded abruptly.

In Zitong City, Gan Ning appeased the indignant Guan Sergeant and went to discuss with Tian Feng.

"I want to go out of the city to rob the camp, and then break the Yizhou army to vent the hatred in my heart, I don't know if the military advisor thinks so?"

Tian Feng shook his head and said, "Gao Pei and Yang Huai have planned before, and this time they must be well prepared; And that Zhang Ren is not an ordinary person, rashly going out of the city to rob the camp, there will be defeat and no victory. ”

Gan Ning's eyes were round, and he shouted: "You can't go out of the city to fight, just defend Zitong, and the city will be conquered sooner or later." ”

"It's difficult for us to protect ourselves, how can we kill Yang Huai and Gao Pei, two thieves, and avenge filial piety?"

Tian Feng looked at the north through the door and said, "Calculate the time, the lord should have led the army into Ba County." ”

"As long as the army arrives, Zhang Ren will definitely not continue to stay in Zitong. At that time, there was a chance to break through the enemy army and kill the two thieves. ”

……

For several days in a row, the Yizhou army was cautious and did not dare to slack off, but the Guanzhong army always guarded the city behind closed doors and did not go out of the city to rob the camp at all.

On this day, Zhang Renzheng led a large army to attack the city, and suddenly a messenger ran over in a panic and delivered a letter.

Zhang Ren hurriedly opened the letter, and after reading it, he immediately screamed, and actually fell off the war horse, and then fell unconscious.

Yang Huai and Gao Pei were all shocked when they saw this, stepped forward to help Zhang Ren up, picked up the letter on the ground and watched it carefully.

"Liu Bi and Leng Bao were killed in battle, Xu Huang recaptured Ba County, and conquered Jiameng Pass with 500 soldiers. The Guanzhong army has arrived, and Zhao Yun is leading 5,000 troops to attack the Sword Pavilion. ”

"How is it possible, how is this possible!"

Whether it was Xu Huang's recapture of the southern part of Ba County in such a short period of time, or the news that Kejia Meng Pass was defeated with five hundred soldiers, or the news that the Sword Pavilion was attacked, it was all a bit appalling.

After the two exclaimed, they immediately glanced at each other, and they both saw deep shock and fear in each other's eyes.

In the past, they only heard that Xu Huang was a famous general in Guanzhong, but they were a little disappreciative in their hearts, but today they got these battle reports like myths, and they suddenly woke up.

At this time, there was only one thought left in the hearts of the two: "Xu Huang is not an enemy!" ”

Not only Yang Huai and Gao Pei, even after this battle report was later transmitted to Chengdu, Liu Zhang's subordinate Wenwu also felt incredible, and had a deep fear of Xu Huang.

Xu Huang didn't know that his series of achievements shocked Bashu, because the folk rumors were too mysterious, Xu Huang had been depicted as the great demon king of the world, with the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth.

For a long time after that, whenever there was a child crying in the family of the people of Yizhou, as long as the adult shouted the word 'Xu Huang', the child immediately did not dare to continue crying.

The Yizhou soldiers who were besieging the city saw the boss fall off his horse for no reason, and all of them were demoralized. Yang Huai and Gao Pei were also worried about Zhang Ren, and they had no intention of fighting again, so they immediately ordered the army to retreat.

Seeing this, Gan Ning in the city said to Tian Feng: "There is a change in the Yizhou army, can you lead the troops out of the city to chase and kill at this time?" ”

Tian Feng saw that although the Yizhou army retreated, it was still lined up neatly, and he was not flustered, and immediately said: "Yang Huai and Gao Pei are famous generals of Bashu, and they have a basis for leading the troops to fight and retreat. ”

"If the general leads his troops to pursue at this time, he will definitely be defeated."

Gan Ning also observed this situation, but these days his heart was full of anger, and he just wanted to go out of the city and kill Yang Huai and Gao Pei, which was a bit out of place.

After hearing Tian Feng's words, he didn't say anything more, and went to inspect the city wall and pacify the soldiers.

That night, many scouts were sent out of the city by hanging baskets to find out what was going on. After more than two hours, the scouts slowly came back and reported the reconnaissance information to Tian Feng.

"Gongming recaptures the southern part of Ba County, and then Kejiameng Pass?"

The scout replied, "Yes! ”

"The lord has already led his troops to Ba County, and is sending Zilong to attack the Sword Pavilion?"

Again, the scout replied, "Indeed. ”

Even Gan Ning, who had a good relationship with Xu Huang, felt a little unbelieving after hearing the news, and he immediately thought that this might be fake news from the Yizhou army.

Tian Feng just frowned and said nothing, looking up at the direction of the Yizhou military camp.

However, it was said that Zhang Ren was in a coma for five consecutive days, and the Yizhou army did not continue to attack the city, and the Guanzhong army did not take the opportunity to go out of the city to rob the camp, but just defended the city.

In the Yizhou military camp, Zhang Ren held the latest battle report of the Sword Pavilion in both hands, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "General Deng Xian really did not disappoint me, and he defended the Sword Pavilion to the death. ”

"If Zhao Yun wants to break through the Sword Pavilion with five thousand cavalry, he will inevitably be too blind."

Yang Huai said: "The Guanzhong army has not yet fully arrived, and the Sword Pavilion is worry-free for the time being, but the general pretended to be in a coma for five days, and he has not led Gan Ning out of the city to rob the camp, but what should I do?" ”

Zhang Ren's brows furrowed tightly, and he said helplessly: "At first, I was just a whim, and I wanted to pretend to be unconscious to lure the Guanzhong army out of the city, but I didn't want them to be so vigilant. ”

Gao Pei said: "In this case, I'll wait for tomorrow to lead the army to attack Zitong." ”

Zhang Ren shook his head again and said, "The Lord Messenger should be coming soon, and the matter of attacking Zitong may not continue to fall on me." ”

When Yang Huai and Gao Pei heard this, they exclaimed, "Why did the general say this? ”

Zhang Ren was about to answer, when he suddenly heard the soldiers at the door shouting: "General, the lord has sent a messenger over." ”

Helplessly, Zhang Ren said: "This matter will be known later!" ”

After a while, the envoy conveyed an order to Zhang Ren: "Today, the Jiameng Pass has been lost, and the Sword Pavilion is in danger." The lord has an order to order General Zhang Ren to lead 20,000 troops from now on and go to the Sword Pavilion to garrison, there must be no mistake! ”

It turned out that Liu Zhang was immediately shocked when he learned of Xu Huang's series of feats.

He was afraid that the Sword Pavilion would be conquered by the Guanzhong Army again, so he sent an envoy to come by Starry Night and let Zhang Ren go over to defend the Sword Pavilion.

Yang Huai and Gao Pei said: "The Sword Pavilion is the strongest pass in the world, and General Deng Xian leads the troops to garrison it, and the thief army can't easily conquer it. ”

"If you don't pull out the nail of Zitong today, it will not be very convenient to transport grain and grass to the Sword Pavilion in the future, and if you are not careful, it will cause a big disaster, please think twice."

Gan Ning and Tian Feng were too difficult to deal with, and Yang Huai and Gao Pei felt that except for Zhang Ren, no one in Yizhou could conquer this city in a short period of time.

Transferring Zhang Ren now means that the Sword Pavilion is likely to be attacked on both sides, and even the grain and grass transportation routes are not very safe.

Moreover, they were broken by the Guanzhong Army at the beginning, leaving some shadows in their hearts, and they had a trace of fear for Tian Feng and Gan Ning.

Therefore, after hearing that Liu Zhang ordered Zhang Ren to go to the Sword Pavilion to garrison, he would have such a fierce reaction.

The envoy snorted coldly twice and said, "Jia Meng Pass has been conquered so dangerously, let alone Sword Pavilion?" If the Sword Pavilion is really broken, you two can afford the consequences! ”

"Besides, even if General Zhang Ren took 20,000 soldiers and horses to the Sword Pavilion, there are still 40,000 people here, and the lord will send the rest of the good generals to lead the troops to help."

"Could it be that the two generals thought that except for General Zhang Ren, no one else would be able to conquer Zitong? Or yourself, you have been frightened by the Guan Zhong Army! ”

When Yang Huai and Gao Pei heard this, they immediately glared angrily at the messenger, and they were about to get angry, but they were stopped by Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren took a step forward, bowed to the envoy, and said, "Minister, take orders!" ”

In Zitong City, Gan Ning came to Tian Feng's side and said in surprise: "Sure enough, as the military advisor expected, that Zhang Ren was actually in a coma; And in the early hours of this morning, Zhang Ren had already led the troops to the Sword Pavilion. ”

Tian Feng slowly showed a smile on his face and said, "The time is ripe, and the day of revenge for filial piety is not far away." ”

Then, he came to Gan Ning's side and whispered: "The general can be so, so, so. ”

Gan Ning frowned when he heard this, and said: "This plan of the military advisor is inevitably too risky, and if you are not careful, our army may be wiped out." ”

Tian Feng said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?" If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to defeat the enemy again! ”

Tian Feng, who was originally calm, also wanted to make a dangerous move at this time, this time he attacked Guanghan County, if he couldn't make an amazing move, he really had no face to see Chen Xu.

Moreover, the humiliation of Jiang Wu's corpse by the Yizhou army also made Tian Feng angry, and wanted to make Yang Huai and Gao Pei pay the price.
