The sun was setting, the twilight was four, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the city wall of Jiameng Pass, but I saw that the two groups of soldiers exchanged positions and continued to stick to the city wall, vigilantly looking at the road in front of the pass.

In the distance, a knight loomed in the distance, and although the speed was not very fast, it still attracted the attention and vigilance of the guards on the city wall.

More than 100 pairs of eyes stared at the knight tightly, and the bow and arrow in his hand were also held a little tighter than usual. But when the knight slowly walked from a distance and gradually approached Jiameng Pass, the guards realized that the person who came was none other than Huang Quan, who had gone out last night.

Huang Quan rode a war horse and returned to Jiameng Pass leisurely, the guards all knew him, and when they saw him coming, they naturally opened the city gate and let him in. But after Huang Quan entered Jiameng Pass, the city gate was closed again, and the guards looked into the distance more vigilantly.

As night drew to a close, and the earth was in a state of grey, the soldiers on the walls had begun to light their torches, and in a few moments the vicinity of the walls became brightly lit.

"Join the army, you are back, the lord is worried about you, so he specially asked me to stay here and wait to join the army." Seeing that Huang Quan was back, Peng Tuo ran directly from a distance and said very politely.

Huang Quan said: "I'm fine, it's just that I'm just a little late when I come back." Go, take me to the lord, I have good news for the lord. ”

Peng Tuo was in front, Huang Quan was behind, and the two of them came to the official office one after the other, and at this moment Zhang Fei was pacing in the hall, nervous and worried feelings all over his face, which could be described as difficult to sleep and eat.

Huang Quan went out with his consent. The purpose is to persuade Ma Chao and Zhang Fei to get together for a big event. But from last night to now. It's been a whole day. There was no news at all, and the scouts he sent out couldn't find out any news, but Ma Chao's camp suddenly strengthened a lot of precautions, and the scouts didn't dare to get too close, and they never saw Huang Quan haunting.

Huang Quan seemed to have evaporated from the world, and the whole person disappeared without a trace, which made Zhang Fei in Jiameng Pass a little unable to sit still. began to worry about Huang Quan's safety, and began to imagine if Huang Quan angered Ma Chao and was killed by Ma Chao?

Just when Zhang Fei was worried, Peng Tuo walked in from outside and said with a happy face: "Lord, Huang has come back from the army......

As soon as the words fell, Huang Quan's figure came into Zhang Fei's eyes, and Zhang Fei suddenly strode out, directly met Huang Quan, and grabbed Huang Quan's hand. He said very happily: "Huang joins the army, you are finally back." I'm worried about you. ”

"Let the lord worry, it's Huang Quan who shouldn't be, Huang Quan pleads guilty to the lord!"

Zhang Fei said: "What are you guilty of? You go and do things for me, and if you are harmed by a traitor, then I have indirectly harmed you......"

"Lord, didn't I come back well?"

Zhang Fei nodded, the worries in his heart disappeared, and said to Huang Quan: "How is it, is there anything to gain from this trip?" ”

Huang Quan nodded and said: "I have been persuading Ma Chao since last night, knowing it with affection and reasoning, and finally succeeded in persuading Ma Chao, he expressed his willingness to cooperate with the lord and join forces to deal with Zhang Yan." ”

"Great, Huang Senjun, you have done a great job for me this time. That Ma Chao has more than 100,000 soldiers, and he also has a great reputation in Liangzhou, and the Qiang people regard him as a god, as long as he raises his arms, maybe the entire northwest will respond, seize Chang'an, and control Guanzhong, it is not a problem at all......"

Huang Quan saw that Zhang Fei was looking forward to the plan he was planning, so he stepped forward and interrupted Zhang Fei's words, "Lord, although Ma Chao agreed to join forces with the lord to deal with Zhang Yan and fight against him, but at the moment, Ma Chao didn't dare to be so reckless, and he still had something to ask for, hoping that the lord could help him." ”

Zhang Fei's expression returned to normal, and he asked, "What does he have to ask me for?" ”

Huang Quan said: "The lord may not know yet, Ma Chao came to crusade against Shu this time, just as a vanguard, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops behind him who are secretly assembling." However, these are all later words, although there are military preparations, but as long as Ma Chao's side wins, Zhang Yan may not use those troops. However, behind Ma Chao, there was also an army of about 30,000 people, led by Xu Huang, and there was also a prison army named Pang Tong. Pang Tong and Xu Huang have been staring at Ma Chao tightly, in fact, they are monitoring Ma Chao's every move, if he has any abnormal behavior, the two people behind him will definitely kill him. Especially the person named Xu Huang, this person has great achievements in battle, strong martial arts, is one of the tiger generals under Zhang Yan's account, and has won Zhang Yan's trust. But Ma Chao offended him because of a trivial matter, so that Xu Huang wore small shoes for Ma Chao everywhere. Ma Chao meant that he wanted to ask the lord to help him perform a play, trick Xu Huang and Pang Tong over, and then kill them. Only in this way did Ma Chao dare to lead the army out of Shu and return to Liangzhou to gather the army. ”

Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then how does Ma Chao want me to help him?" ”

Huang Quan said: "Ma Chao wants his military flag to be planted all over the castle tower of Jia Meng Pass, and he designs to kill Pang Tong and Xu Huang here......"

After Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately retorted: "No! Jiameng Pass is the gateway to Shu, is an important pass, if Ma Chao's military flag is planted here, then other places to see, will think that Jiameng Pass has fallen, will cause panic in Shu. ”

Huang Quan said: "I am clear about the lord's worries, just think about the advantages of doing this, weigh the pros and cons of this, it is not difficult to find that in fact, the advantages of doing this outweigh the disadvantages." And we don't have to leave Jiameng Pass, just let Ma Chao borrow it temporarily......"

Zhang Fei frowned, he didn't know what to do. After thinking for a while, Zhang Fei felt that what Huang Quan said was very right, the advantages of this matter outweighed the disadvantages, you must know that if Ma Chao could be obtained as an ally, if the two of them dealt with Zhang Yan together, his pressure would be much less, not to mention that Bashu is located in a remote area and the road is difficult.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Fei no longer hesitated, and directly agreed to Huang Quan, but he only promised to hang half of Ma Chaojun's military flag, and then lower it after killing Pang Tong and Xu Huang.

Huang Quan saw that Zhang Fei agreed, so he went out of Jiameng Pass again and went directly to see Ma Chao, saying that Zhang Fei agreed to his request, and the military flag of Ma Chaojun would be hung tomorrow. And this time, Huang Quan came here to ask for a military flag and military uniform, so as to facilitate camouflage.

Ma Chao did not hesitate, and directly gave Huang Quan the military flag and uniform he wanted, and it depends on how Huang Quan is going to act tomorrow.

Huang Quan asked Ma Chao for a military flag and uniform, and transported them back to Jiameng Pass overnight.

Early the next morning, the flag was suddenly changed on the city wall of Jiameng Pass, the red Han army flag fluttered over Jiameng Pass, and the soldiers standing on the city wall were also wearing the uniforms of the Han army.

Ma Chao looked out from afar, and saw that the flag had been changed on the Jiameng Pass, and he was convinced of Huang Quan, and felt that Huang Quan was indeed a person who did what he said.

However, this qiē is also in his grasp, and the next thing is up to him.

In fact, this qiē has already been designed by Huang Quan. In order to gain Ma Chao's trust, he persuaded Zhang Fei to change the flag and prove his ability to Ma Chao.

Next, it was the good show directed by Huang Quan himself.

When it was almost noon, Ma Chao finally appeared in front of Jia Meng Pass, this time, he did not bring too many troops, only two hundred followers, and there were two more people around him, one was dressed as a general, and the other was a person dressed as a scribe.

Zhang Fei, who was looking out from the city wall of Jiamengguan, looked out of the city with his sharp eyes, but saw that Ma Chao was talking with the general and the scribe, and the three of them would stretch out their fingers and point at Jiamengguan from time to time, as if they were arguing about something.

"What's going on out there?" Zhang Fei saw this scene and casually asked Huang Quan beside him.

"I don't know, it looks like they're arguing, it seems to be very powerful, look at them sometimes pointing to Jia Mengguan, it seems to be related to Jia Mengguan, isn't our costume being recognized?" Huang Quandao.

Zhang Fei said: "Impossible, you take a good look at these soldiers, they are all wearing the clothes of the Han army, how can they go wrong?" ”

While he was talking, Ma Chao suddenly rode his horse towards the city wall, and Huang Quan said nervously: "Lord, Ma Chao is here." ”

Ma Chao came to the city wall alone, the closer he got closer, the more he felt a little scared, after all, he was just a person, and Huang Quan couldn't fully believe that he was so close to Jia Meng Pass, would he be killed by Zhang Fei's people with an arrow, you know, there is still a sharpshooter in the Sichuan army who has been praised by Pang De, what if he is injured by a cold arrow?

As soon as he thought of this, Ma Chao stopped, at this time he was still sixty steps away from the city wall, but he no longer walked forward, and suddenly shouted at the city wall: "Let Captain Huang come out to see me!" ”

After a while, the door was closed and opened, and Huang Quan rode out of the doorway, came to Ma Chao's side, and pretended to chat with Ma Chao for a few words, and then turned around and went back.

At this time, Huang Quan found Zhang Fei and said: "Lord, just now Xu Huang and Pang Tong are canceling Ma Chao, saying that Ma Chao is not doing well, since he has won the Jiameng Pass, why not open the gate, warmly welcome their arrival, and invite them to go in and rest." ”

Zhang Fei frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"In other words, those two people asked Ma Chao to open the city gate, and they wanted to inspect whether the city was safe."

"Inch by inch!" Zhang Fei couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly said angrily. (To be continued......)
