The sun rises in the east, and the heat recovers.

Dry, windless, green wilderness.

The gate of Yangping Pass was wide open, and tens of thousands of troops flocked out, hunting with banners, and the soldiers were standing in a forest, and they were mighty.

On the wilderness five hundred paces away, a group of Xiliang iron horsemen galloped on the greenery, and then lifted the reins of their horses and lined up in formation.

After a short time, the men and horses of the two sides were arrayed, and they were 300 paces away from each other to confront each other, ready to start.

"Sizzle-Fierce Divine Beast? The one who controls the divine beast is the great general Li Li? ”

At first glance, Zhao Wei, who saw a golden divine beast mount driving out of front of the Xiliang Army, and stopped in front of the formation side by side with Zhang Lu, couldn't help but gasp, pointed to the person opposite and asked in surprise.

"Ugh! This 、、、 supposed to be, right? Zhang Lu was also trembling and said in amazement.

"Oh?" Zhao Wei glanced at Zhang Lu and said suspiciously: "Isn't it that Brother Gongqi has never seen Li Li several times?" ”

Hearing the doubts in Zhao Wei's words, Zhang Lu simply no longer concealed it, and said frankly: "Don't hide the long history, that's exactly the case." The battle of Chencang was at night, and Zhang had seen Li Li's figure at that time, but he didn't know it very well. Subsequently, 、、、 was ashamed to say that after Chen Cang's defeat, Zhang could no longer pay attention to Li Li's movements, and he didn't want to see him for the rest of his life. (The implication is: I, Zhang Luru, had seen Li Li earlier, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to see you Zhao Wei now.) Hanzhong has been lost, and I, Zhang Lu, have been reduced to prisoners, do I still need your Yizhou army to help? ）

"Brother Gongqi, don't blame, Zhao is just curious, and has no other meaning." Hearing Zhang Lu's unhappy tone, Zhao Wei apologized. And said with good words: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers." Brother Gongqi don't have to be discouraged, this time you and I join forces against the Xiliang Army, and we will definitely be able to thwart the arrogance of the Li thief. A shame before the snow. ”

"I hope so." Zhang Lu responded casually, looking a little lacking in confidence, far less optimistic than Zhao Wei.

Squinting at Zhang Lu's gloomy expression, Zhao Wei smiled indifferently and said in a low voice: "The two armies are facing each other, and you and I should go out to meet Li Thief." Salute before you soldiers, so as not to be laughed at. I don't know what Brother Gongqi thinks? ”

"I'm not going to go this 、、、. The long history is highly respected, and it is up to you to come forward. Zhang Lu looked flustered.

Zhao Wei seems to have expected that Zhang Lu would not come out. Immediately nodded happily and said: "In this case, Brother Gongqi is here to sweep the formation, and I will meet this General Li when I come out of the formation!" ”

The voice fell, and Zhao Wei lightly lifted the reins. Fight the horses and go out of battle. Straight to the front of the two armies.

As soon as Zhao Wei left on his front foot, Zhang Lu turned around and retreated to his own position, that is, the left flank of the army. The main force of the army that fought against the Xiliang Army this time was more than 40,000 Yizhou troops, and Zhang Lu's main army only had more than 15,000 people.

"Lord, this old man Zhao Yun is too blind. Since ancient times, the two armies have faced each other, and the commanders of both sides should come out to answer. How could it be his turn to go out and ask questions on behalf of our Hanzhong army? Looking at the back of Zhao Wei playing the horse. Yang Song said angrily.

Zhang Lu's expression was gloomy, a touch of shame flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Since he wants to be in the limelight, let him go." These Yizhou officials stay in the southwest corner all the year round, all of them are arrogant, and they don't take anyone in their eyes, as if others are reckless, and only he Yizhou Army is an invincible army. This time, let these people who have no one in their eyes understand the power of the Xiliang Army, and let such arrogant people know that there are people outside the world, and they can restrain their hearts. Only by personally experiencing the power of the Xiliang Army can they completely sober up and calm down, so that they can know that they are not allowed to shout and act recklessly on my Zhang Lu's territory! ”

Yang Song said thoughtfully: "What the lord said is extremely true. These Yizhou generals are indeed arrogant and arrogant, and they have been quite anti-guest in the past few days, as if they regard Hanzhong as their own backyard and do whatever they want. If it weren't for the fact that we had asked for the Yizhou army at this moment, we would have to rely on them to repel the Xiliang army, and I really didn't want to serve this group of arrogant people. These people seem to regard Yizhou as the upper state of the Heavenly Empire, and we as a small country in Fanbang, and their tone of voice is bigger than the other, which is really annoying. ”

Zhang Lu has a deep understanding of Yang Song's words, but he also has hardships, and his family knows his own affairs. At present, the situation in Hanzhong is worrying, Li Li's army is pressing, and the whole Hanzhong is in danger like a tired egg, and the slightest mistake will be in danger of overturning. Yes, no matter how unaccustomed Zhang Lu is to the generals of Yizhou, he must temporarily hold back, he should not be, who let himself provoke Xiliang Li Li.

Because of this, Zhao Wei proposed that the Yizhou Army take over the defense of Yangping Pass, and Zhang Lu immediately agreed; Zhang Ren proposed that the Yizhou army must have a meal of wine and meat every day, and Zhang Lu immediately ordered to go down and supply it in full. As for the other ordnance baggage, it is needless to say, there is a large amount of ordnance and city defense materials hoarded in Yangping Pass, which is enough for three months.

Therefore, now Zhang Lu has handed over the full power of Yangping Pass to the Yizhou Army to take over. At the same time, he also left a hand, leaving his cronies and strategists Yang Song and general Yang Bai in the pass, and left 20,000 horses to guard against the Yizhou army from stealing and stealing.

When he was upset, Zhang Lu sighed softly: "People have to bow their heads under the eaves, bear with it, and wait until they repel the Xiliang army." Alas??????"

―――――――― small dividing lines――――――――――

"Please take a moment before the battle, and wait for the commander Shi Zhaoyun in Xiayi!"

"Roar--" Before Zhao Wei's words fell, he saw a golden shadow galloping towards him, and when the image gradually became clear, a beast roar shook his ears, and Venus appeared in front of him, and he almost turned over and fell off his horse.

"You are Governor Shi Zhaoyun of Yizhou?"

"Ugh! Exactly, it is under the command that the commander is the general? ”

"No one dares to trespass on the name of this general." In front of the Golden Lion Beast King, Li Li narrowed his eyes slightly, extremely powerful, and looked at the world, so that Zhao Wei did not dare to face it.

"The name of Zhao Changshi, General Ben has also heard of it. Seven years ago, you were Taishi Ling, and then resigned from the official position to follow Liu Yan into Shu, last year and supported Liu Zhang to succeed to the throne, so far has assisted Liu Yan father and son two generations, in Yizhou is quite famous, one person under 10,000 people, can be said to be a long time in the sea, extraordinary knowledge. In this case, you must also be able to see that Zhang Lu of Hanzhong plundered Liangzhou for no reason and attempted to attack Chang'an, which was really a rebellious move. If you are plotting rebellion and rebellion, why do you want to help the abuse? (At this time, the princes of all walks of life in the world did not know that Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, and the hundred officials had fled Chang'an, and those who knew about it were limited to the main generals of the Xiliang Army and important ministers such as the assassins of various states.) ）

Zhao Wei had expected Li Li's reprimand, and he said without thinking: "The general is good." Hanzhong County is the land under the jurisdiction of my Yizhou, and there are rebellious people in the territory, so my lord Liu Yizhou naturally cannot stand idly by, and he should severely punish the disobedient ministers, clean up the portal, rectify the rule of officials, appease the people's livelihood, and give a satisfactory explanation to the general and the court. Therefore, Zhao came specifically for this matter, but unexpectedly, in front of the general Chen Bingguan, there seemed to be an intention to seize Hanzhong County. In view of this, we could not sit idly by, and had no choice but to confront the general in front of the pass.

However, my lord Liu Yizhou and the general are old acquaintances, and they really don't want their friends to turn against each other and see each other, so they sent out of the customs to explain the original situation to the general, turn the war into jade silk, and get back together. If the general remembers the friendship of the past and the suffering of the people of Hanzhong, he implores the general to withdraw his troops for the time being, and allow us to eliminate the rebellion, rectify the rule of the officials in Hanzhong, and then go to the court, which will surely satisfy the general. I don't know what the general's intentions are? ”

"What a good tooth!" Li Li groaned and looked at Zhao Wei with a smile: "I have long heard that Liu Yan of Yizhou has two arms, a scholar and a martial artist, and the warrior Wu Yi and Wu Ziyuan, and the scribe is you Zhao Wei." When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name. Zhang Lu went against the grain and gathered people to rebel, if the court ignored it, where is the Han Tianwei? As the general of the world's soldiers and horses, and the prime minister of the dynasty, how can he allow such petty criminals to cause chaos? It's just Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, why does this general need to fake others? ”

"This 、、、" Zhao Wei's voice changed when he heard this, and he said urgently: "It seems that the general insists on ignoring the face of my lord Liu Yizhou??????"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Li interjected loudly: "Could it be that Liu Zhang is not a minister of the Han Dynasty, and Yizhou is no longer under Wang Hua?" All my vassals of the Han Dynasty and the territory of the Han Dynasty, does this general still need to obtain Liu Zhang's approval to conquer the rebellion? Therefore, Zhao Wei, you don't have to quibble, and you don't need to carry Liu Zhang out as a pretense at every turn, do you think this general can not be deceived? But?????? This is not non-negotiable. Since you have cleared the door and given General Ben a satisfactory explanation, then you should show sincerity now and hand over Zhang Lu, Yang Song and Yang Bai in Hanzhong, and General Ben will not be guilty of the past and immediately return to the court! ”

Zhao Wei frowned when he heard this, his face was extremely gloomy, and he turned his head to look at Zhang Lu behind him, although he was more than a hundred steps away, he could still see Zhang Lu's face like a red date, and he was angry. For a moment, he suddenly felt that the situation was not good, and the excuse he racked his brains to come up with with great difficulty seemed to be counterproductive, and he moved a stone and smashed it on his feet, which outweighed the loss!

"The general will allow me a little time, the rebellion has yet to be verified, and I can't act hastily?????"

"Shut up!" Li Li shouted violently, which frightened Zhao Wei like a cicada, and his voice stopped abruptly. Immediately, I only heard Li Li reprimand sharply: "In front of the two armies, more than 100,000 soldiers are in front of each other, you are so clever and untrustworthy, do you really think that these more than 100,000 soldiers are three-year-old children, and you can talk about it?" If you really care about the suffering of the people of Hanzhong and avoid the misery of the people, you don't need to say much, and immediately take down Zhang Lu and the other three, so that the flames of war will disappear invisibly, and only then will your lord Liu Zhang's tolerant and benevolent mind be revealed. Otherwise, you will be a rebel thief, and this general will definitely punish you and others! ”

Zhao Wei was confused at this time, his cheeks were red, he was out of breath, and he was no longer calm and calm before. When Li Li's voice fell, he immediately turned around from his horse, threw a sentence in annoyance, beat the horse and left: "In this case, why don't you say more, the general is waving his army to attack, with my Yizhou army here, the general does not want to step into Yangping Pass!" ”
