Du Yi ordered Wang Ping to go to Hanchang with Zhang Wei's head to persuade Yang Ren to surrender, leaving Li Hei to guard Xuanhan, and rushed to Danqu with 5,000 elite soldiers.
Xiduo was waiting for reinforcements, but what she didn't expect were the corpses of Ba Wang and the Witch God. She was shocked. At this time, the Seven Surnames were already in disarray, and they were no match for Zhang He.
Du Yi was not in a hurry to fight for the position of King of Ba, but discussed with the leaders. Liu Qi came to attack Zhang Wei. Now that Zhang Wei has been killed, the Ba people have made a meritorious service. Whether to surrender to Liu Qi is also in line with the history of the Ba people. Ancestor training.
Xi Duo and a few remnants of his tribe had been killed by Liu Qi and were so frightened that they hesitated. There were still two or three months before the tribe clamored to kill them, so Du Yi pretended to be angry and wanted to leave with his troops.
Although the seven surnames were usually jealous of Pu Hu, they found out after his death that no one could take charge of important affairs. Pu Hu died inexplicably, so Xi Duo dared not be the leader again, so she had to compromise with Du Yi.
Du Yi immediately sent someone to see Liu Qi. In exchange for Pu Yang's mourning for his father, he transferred Li Hu to lead the troops to guard Hutou Pass and secretly contacted Zhang He.
While the Ba people were undergoing internal reorganization, Yang Ren was still waiting for reinforcements in Hanchang. The two armies of Liu Zhang and Liu Qi were pressing down on the border. People in the city were panicked. Not to mention the original defenders, even the old troops who followed them had deserters.
Pang Xi sent 8,000 elite troops to the south. Pang Le and Li Yi were generals. They were old rivals who had been fighting for many years. The troops were mainly made up of people recruited with large sums of money and had strong combat power.
On the east road were the Jingzhou soldiers commanded by Zhang Fei. Regardless of their strength, Zhang Fei's name alone made Yang Ren terrified and kept him awake at night.
It had been raining for days and Zhang Fei was feeling bored when he saw Pang Tong entering the tent with one person and said with a smile: "Bazhong is settled!"
Zhang Fei looked at the person who came, and seeing that he was young and dressed in a dusty coat, he asked anxiously: "Could it be that the eldest son sent someone to deliver the order?"
Pang Tong smiled and said: "It's true that it's true, it's not true that it's not."
Zhang Fei's eyes widened: "Why do we need people?"
The man cupped his fists and said, "I, Wang Ping, have been ordered by the Marquis of Yiyi to come to see the general. I have General Liu's plan to offer."
Zhang Fei was confused for a while, and Pang Tong asked Wang Ping to sit down and tell all about Liu Qi's plan. Now the two major opposition forces in Bazhong, Zhang Wei and Pu Hu, have been eliminated.
Wang Ping rushed to Hanchang with Zhang Wei's head, but did not go to persuade Yang Ren to surrender. Instead, he came to see Zhang Fei first to discuss taking Hanchang.
Zhang Fei laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "The eldest son has eliminated these two scourges without spending a single soldier. It is really powerful. I will kill Yang Ren right now."
Pang Tong said: "Zhang Wei is dead, Yang Ren has nothing to worry about, and it will be easy to capture Hanchang. It is important to plan and capture Langzhong first."
"What the military advisor said is absolutely true. After taking Hanchang and Pang Xi retreating, I can no longer go to Langzhong!" Zhang Fei suddenly woke up, scratched his head and said: "But Pang Xi, this old thief, is very tactful and does everything right. He wants to find an excuse to use force. It’s not easy.”
Pang Tong first looked at Wang Ping and asked: "Pang Xi has fought with Zhang Lu for many years. Since the Ba people respect Zhang Lu as their master, why can Pang Xi still recruit Xi people for his use?"
Wang Ping sighed: "The good and the bad are uneven. This is true for the Han people, and the same is true for the Ba people. For hundreds of years, the Ji tribe has been oppressed by the seven surnames, so many people took risks and went out to plunder. Countless people fell into the trap. Pang Xi recruited Most of these people are desperadoes, either greedy for money, or punishing fugitives for various tribes."
Pang Tong nodded and said: "He is not an ordinary citizen, and he has done many evil things. It is not pity to kill him."
Wang Ping said solemnly: "Yes, they have long ignored the feelings of their fellow clansmen and have been fighting for many years. They don't know that their fellow clansmen died under their swords and deserved their death."
"That's easy!" Pang Tong looked at Zhang Fei with a smile: "It's better to give the credit for killing Yang Ren to the Brazilian army."
Zhang Fei said dissatisfied: "But why?"
Pang Tong laughed and said, "This is just fishing bait!"
Zhang Fei laughed and said: "If so, please ask the military advisor to make arrangements, and I will act according to the plan."
According to Liu Qi's instructions, Pang Tong temporarily left Wang Ping in the army, led the troops with Zhang Fei, and sent a message to Fa Zheng, agreeing to capture Hanchang.
In the evening, when the road was still muddy, Zhang Fei and Gan Ning divided their troops into two groups and rushed to Hanchang City, asking Yang Ren to leave the city and surrender.
Yang Ren was shocked. When he came to the east gate, he saw a black-faced general with a body like an iron tower, a swallow-like jaw and a tiger beard, a voice like thunder, and a human head on a snake spear eight feet tall.
Zhang Fei stepped forward and shouted: "Yang Ren, Zhang Wei has been beheaded by me. The Ba people have surrendered to the Liu family. Why don't you open the city and surrender?"
Seeing the shock of the defenders on the left and right, Yang Ren sneered and said: "Zhang Fei, don't try to mess up the morale of our army with a fake human head. King Hanning has divine help. How can he be killed by you and others with his immortal body?"
"Dog thief, I don't think you shed tears until you see the coffin!" Zhang Fei was furious, raised his snake spear, and threw the head far away on the top of the city, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly!"
There was a bang, and the head hit the tower. Although the wound was white from the rain and half broken by the fall, the person who saw the face was Zhang Wei, and the defenders were all shocked.
Zhang Fei laughed and said: "You are cornered. General Liu is kind and generous. I think you are bewitched by Zhang Wei. If you surrender, forget about it. If you persist, I will kill you into the city and leave no trace of you behind."
Yang Ren's face changed greatly, and he ordered the defenders to guard the city gate, and called several confidants to the government office to discuss countermeasures. Without Zhang Wei and Ba people, Hanchang would be difficult to defend, and a way to escape must be found.
Zhang Fei and Gan Ning ordered their soldiers to shout to persuade them to surrender. Those who took Yang Ren's head would be rewarded 500 yuan, and those who captured Yang Ren alive would be rewarded 1,000 yuan. The city was full of uproar and people were in panic.
Yang Ren looked at everyone at this time and felt that they were looking at his neck with malicious intent. He hid in the house and did not dare to go out. No one was allowed to bring dinner to him, so he sat alone until dark.
It was quiet inside and outside the government office, and Yang Rencai called his confidants together. They came to the west gate, opened the city gate and walked west.
When the defenders saw Yang Ren escaping, they all fled one after another. When the news spread, the city was in an uproar. The defenders fled in all directions. Some took the opportunity to rob, burn and kill, screaming in agony.
Zhang Fei garrisoned troops outside the east gate and waited. Sure enough, someone soon opened the city gate and took the initiative to submit. He immediately led his troops into the city, sent people to maintain order, and killed all the troublemakers.
Yang Ren escaped from the west gate and just arrived at the Nanjiang River. He was looking for a boat to cross the river. Suddenly an ambush came out and fired arrows. More than a dozen people were shot to death.
It turned out that Fazheng had received news from Pang Tong and ordered Li Yi to lead his troops to ambush here. As expected, he was blocked. Everyone was overjoyed and wanted to cut off the head and bring it back.
Li Yi was leading the tribe of people. Pang Xi did not dare to restrain these desperadoes too much. Military discipline had always been lax and notorious in Brazil. Rewards for merit were also calculated based on the number of heads. In their eyes, they only saw profit. There is no loyalty at all.
Everyone happily returned to the camp to resume their duties, only to see that the camp had been moved. Only then did they know that Zhang Fei had taken Hanchang and Fazheng had led his troops into the city to discuss matters.
Li Yi came to Hanchang excitedly. Everyone was discussing how much of the bounty they could share. They got drunk tonight, but when they got to the city, they were rejected and turned away by the defenders.
Everyone was poured a basin of cold water on their heads, and they were furious. I led troops from thousands of miles away to help in the battle, killed the enemy and performed meritorious deeds. But you didn't wait and left us outside the city to drink from the northwest wind?
The defenders went to report the matter, but received no reply for nearly half an hour. The soldiers were accustomed to being arrogant and lost their patience. A dozen of them rushed to the city gate in a rage.
The defenders did not dare to fire arrows, so they could only shout loudly. The soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city, and the city gate opened with a push, and they rushed in directly.
