Is it possible that your kid is also a time traveler?
Yang Ling glanced at Deng Ai in surprise, then nodded and said,
"Yes, I do mean so."
Although the Shenlong Army is elite, it is still difficult to open up the Baoxie and Tangluo passages with only a thousand soldiers and horses.
It would be better to take Nanzheng directly with lightning speed and capture Zhang Lu alive.
"Although this plan is risky, it is not unfeasible."
Jiang Wei smiled and said,
"As long as the teacher gives orders, the two of us will take the orders!"
"That's good."
Yang Ling nodded, looked at the map, pointed to a place on it and said,
"On the way to Nanzheng, there is also Chenggu County. We must find a way to capture this city."
Deng Ai pondered for a moment and then laughed,
"Teacher, students...but...you have an idea!"
…
Nanzheng.
Zhang Lugao looked at the people in the hall and said,
"How has the war been going in the past few days?"
Counselor Yang Song stood up and saluted calmly.
"Reporting to Master, the plank roads in Baoxie and Tangluo were destroyed by our army. Under the harassment of our army, it is extremely difficult for the Wei army to rebuild them."
"These past few days have been peaceful, and there have been no other incidents."
Zhang Lu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile,
"The Cao Wei army is indeed brave, but what can they do in the face of the steep terrain of Hanzhong?"
Seeing that he was a little proud, Yan Pu quickly reminded him,
"Master, please don't be careless. Yang Ling is famous for his unconventional tactics. At present, the Baoxie and Tangluo roads are blocked. There is no guarantee that Cao Wei will not start from the other two roads."
After hearing Yan Pu's persuasion, Zhang Lu still didn't take it seriously.
"The military advisor's words are wrong. Chencang Road has been in disrepair for a long time. I won't say much. Even if Cao Wei passes through Chencang Road, what will happen?"
Starting from Chencang Road, heading south, you will finally arrive at Yangping Pass.
Yangping Pass was so strong that even Liu Bei was forced to retreat. Zhang Lucai didn't believe that Cao Wei had any way to capture Yangping Pass!
"If Cao Wei sets out from Ziwu Road, I wonder how you should respond?"
Yan Pu couldn't help but ask.
"The military advisor is really overly worried. Ziwu Road is more dangerous than Chencang Road."
Yang Song also chuckled and said,
"In recent decades, almost no one has passed through there except for mountain hunters."
"Even if Cao Wei's army passes through Ziwu Road, their supplies will definitely be difficult."
"At that time, as long as we don't get out, we can conquer them!"
Zhang Lushen nodded in agreement and agreed with Yang Song's view.
"Having said that, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst!"
Yan Pu couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing how worried he was, Zhang Lu thought for a while and said with a smile,
"Don't worry, military advisor. I had a team of soldiers and horses stationed at the entrance of Ziwu Valley."
"As long as Cao Wei's army arrives, they will be able to discover it in time."
"In addition, I will send another three thousand soldiers and horses to keep an eye on Ziwu Valley."
"What do you think, military advisor?"
Yan Pu's expression softened and he nodded slightly.
"Master is wise!"
Zhang Lulu thought for a moment and then told Yang Song and Yang Bai,
"I also ask you two to lead three thousand soldiers to Ziwu Valley!"
This bastard Yan Pu is really annoying!
Yang Song was quite unhappy with Yan Pu, but he still had to take the order with his younger brother Yang Bai.
Without any further delay, the two of them got up and left the lobby to make preparations.
After they left, Zhang Lu and others just breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the disgraced Zhang Wei and Yang Ang staggering in.
"Teacher...Master..."
"Didn't I ask you two to guard Yangping Pass? Why are you back?"
Zhang Lu's heart sank and he asked sharply.
The two looked at each other and said with shame,
"Reporting to Master, just last night, Liu Bei suddenly led his troops to counterattack... The two of us were caught off guard, and we were... just..."
Although they were hesitant, Zhang Lu and others understood that Yangping Pass must have been taken away by Liu Bei!
"You two losers, come here, drag them down and chop them down!"
Zhang Lu shouted sharply.
Yangping Pass is the western gateway of Hanzhong. As long as you control the pass, whether it is Cao Wei's troops coming from Chencang Road or Liu Bei's troops coming from Shu, they can be turned away!
Without Yangping Pass as a barrier, Liu Bei could march straight in and attack Nanzheng.
At present, Zhang Lu is facing the offensive pressure from Cao Wei in the north. This is good, Yangping Pass is also lost, and he also faces the threat of Liu Bei.
How could this not make him angry?
"Brother, please spare my life, brother!"
Zhang Wei was so frightened that he quickly begged for mercy.
Yan Pu on the side couldn't bear it and coughed lightly.
"Master, even though they lost Yangping Pass, they deserve death."
"But the current situation is urgent, so we might as well save their lives and let them serve their crimes in the future."
Although Zhang Lu was angry at his younger brother Zhang Wei's inability to do things well, he had no real intention to kill him.
Hearing Yan Pu plead for mercy, he said coldly,
"Since the military advisor speaks for you two, I will spare your lives today!"
"If anything goes wrong again in the future, don't blame me for being unkind!"
Zhang Wei and Yang Ang breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly,
"Thank you so much, Master, for not killing me!"
After dealing with the two of them, Zhang Lu looked at Yan Pu solemnly,
"Military advisor, now that Yangping Pass is gone, what should we do?"
No matter how powerful he is, it is impossible for him to deal with the two-sided attack of Liu Bei and Cao Wei at the same time!
Yan Pu also has a headache. The current situation is really difficult!
At this moment, a church member came to report,
"Master, Liu Bei sent an envoy Jian Yong, saying that he has something important to meet with Master!"
Zhang Lu hesitated and looked at Yan Pu.
"Master, you might as well meet me first and see what kind of medicine Liu Bei is selling in his gourd!"
"That's fine!"
Zhang Lu nodded slightly and ordered,
"Let him in!"
Not long after, Jian Yong followed several congregants and walked into the hall.
"I've met Master!"
Jian Yong bowed with neither humility nor arrogance.
"The big-eared thief has captured Yangping Pass, why did he send you here? Isn't he afraid that I will kill you?"
Zhang Lu's face darkened and he asked with murderous intent.
"Master, please calm down. As the saying goes, it is better to reconcile enemies than to make enemies. My lord has occupied Yangping Pass, which is a helpless move."
Jian Yong explained.
Zhang Lu almost lost his temper.
Listening to Jian Yong's words, Liu Bei was forced to capture Yangping Pass.
Why is this guy so shameless?
"I would like to hear what Liu Bei did so helplessly?!"
Zhang Lupi said with a smile.
"I have something to say, please listen carefully, Master."
Jian Yong said calmly and unhurriedly,
"Cao Wei's army marched south with great momentum, clearly intending to take Hanzhong as its own."
"With the strength of Hanzhong, if you want to fight against Cao Wei, it is really like throwing an egg against a rock. It is impossible to support a single tree!"
"In view of this situation, my lord will occupy Yangping Pass so that Master can concentrate all his energy on dealing with the Wei army on Baoxie Road and Tangluo Road."
