"As my father's daughter, I will naturally not refuse!"
Zhang Qiying nodded slightly, her beautiful face full of determination.
She had practiced Taoism with Zhang Lu since she was a child. The white Taoist robe she wore covered her plump body, but it added a bit of beauty to her beautiful face.
After Zhang Lu was defeated in Hanzhong and Cao Wei took control of Nanzheng, Yang Ling did not make it too difficult for Zhang Lu's family, but treated them favorably.
Firstly, they want to stabilize the situation, and secondly, they want to use them as a threat in the future.
After settling the people sent by Zhang Lu, Zhang Qiying thought for a while, then returned to the boudoir and changed into simple clothes.
She came to the backyard of Zhang's Mansion, opened the back door, looked around and made sure there was no one around before leaving Zhang's Mansion.
Zhang Qiying walked through the streets and alleys of Nanzheng, not daring to stop along the way. She didn't stop until she approached a house.
Looking around again to make sure no one was following her, she stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Dong dong dong!"
After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and a servant couldn't help being surprised when he saw Zhang Qiying.
"Eldest...eldest lady?"
"Shh!"
Zhang Qiying shook her head at him and whispered,
"Is your master at home?"
"exist!"
"Take me to him quickly!"
The servant hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and welcomed her in.
Zhang Qiying sat in the lobby for a while and then saw Hanzhong General Yang Ren walking in quickly.
"General Yang!"
"Miss, you...why are you here?"
Yang Ren was also extremely surprised when he saw Zhang Qiying.
Now that Cao Wei has taken over Hanzhong, Zhang Qiying, as the daughter of Zhang Lu, should stay at home honestly.
However, her sudden visit made Yang Ren feel nervous!
"My niece came here today to ask for something important!"
Zhang Qiying said, looking at the servant behind Yang Ren.
Yang Ren understood instantly and waved his hand,
"You all go down!"
When there were only two people left in the lobby, Zhang Qiying said bluntly,
"Uncle Yang, to be honest, my father has joined forces with Uncle Liu Huang and is preparing to retake Hanzhong!"
"I'm afraid their army will arrive in Nanzheng tonight!"
Hearing this, Yang Ren was suddenly shocked!
He did not expect that Zhang Lu would go to Liu Bei.
What he didn't expect even more was that Liu Bei and Zhang Lu would be able to capture Nanzheng tonight!
After being surprised, Yang Ren calmed down and said in a deep voice,
"I wonder what the eldest lady wants the general to do?"
"My father used to treat Uncle Yang very politely and valued him very much."
Zhang Qiying stared at Yang Ren with bright eyes and said softly,
"Now that my father is in trouble and eager to take back Hanzhong, I wonder if Uncle Yang can lend a helping hand?"
"this……"
Yang Ren looked embarrassed.
Speaking of which, although he was a surrendered general, because he and Yang Song were both members of the Yang clan, and because he led his army to surrender, Yang Ling, on behalf of the Cao Wei court, also gave him many rewards.
From the bottom of his heart, Yang Ren was unwilling to help Zhang Lu anymore.
After all, the general trend of the world is now obvious!
But just as Zhang Qiying said, Zhang Lu always treated Yang Ren with courtesy!
Facing Zhang Qiying's request, it was really hard for him to refuse!
After thinking for a moment, Yang Ren sighed,
"The eldest lady speaks for Master, how can the general refuse?"
"But this matter is no small matter. I'm afraid I won't be able to help with my own efforts."
"How about this? I'll contact General Yang Ang again and ask the eldest lady to go back to the house and wait for news."
Hearing this, Zhang Qiying showed a happy look on her face and said quickly,
"Then please leave it to your uncle! However, this matter is extremely dangerous, so please be careful and don't let the Cao thieves find out!"
"Don't worry, Miss, I know it well!"
Yang Ren nodded in agreement.
Zhang Qiying then left with peace of mind.
After returning to her house, she waited patiently.
Fortunately, Yang Ren didn't keep her waiting long. Just after noon, Yang Ren sent a servant to Zhang Lu's house.
According to what the servant said, Yang Ren had already made an agreement with Yang Ang.
As soon as Zhang Lu and Liu Bei's troops arrive, they will act as internal agents and open the city gate!
…
Baozhong in the northwest direction of Nanzheng.
At this time, after a lot of fighting, Liu Bei's army had successfully captured Baozhong.
While Liu Bei ordered the army to rest, he also ordered people to find Zhang Ren.
Not long after, Zhang Ren rode into the city and came to Liu Bei!
"Greetings, my lord!"
Zhang Ren got off his horse and saluted Liu Bei.
Due to the butterfly effect, Liu Bei captured Chengdu first and captured Liu Zhang.
As Marshal of Shuchuan, Zhang Ren also avoided being executed.
"What's the situation outside?"
Liu Bei asked softly.
"Reporting to my lord, all those who escaped from the praise were captured by the general!"
Zhang Ren cupped his fists.
In order to prevent the news from leaking, Cao Wei's army in Nanzheng was prepared.
Long before the siege, Liu Bei ordered Zhang Ren to lead a small group of cavalry to respond outside Baozhong City.
Hearing this, Liu Bei immediately breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhang Lu aside.
"I wonder how the master's preparations are going?"
"There is no news yet, but I guess it won't be long."
Zhang Lu said this, but he had no confidence in his heart.
He didn't know if his daughter Zhang Qiying could fulfill his orders.
He didn't even know if Yang Ren would turn his back on him!
Fortunately, it didn't take long before Zhang Ren's cavalry was seen entering the city.
"Lord, General, there is a person who claims to be Zhang Shijun's messenger, and we stopped him outside the city!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Bei and Zhang Lu were both in high spirits!
"Quickly, bring him in!"
Liu Bei ordered.
When the person sent by Zhang Lu to contact Zhang Qiying came to everyone and told all the news in the city, everyone was overjoyed!
"With the two generals Yang assisting us in the city, taking Nanzheng is a sure thing!"
Even Fazheng, who was always serious, couldn't help but smile.
"You can't say that, we still have to be careful."
Liu Bei chuckled.
Hua Xia, who had been chased by Yang Ling and Cao Wei for most of the time, finally had a chance to feel proud. How could this not make him happy?
"My lord, soldiers are valuable and quick, we must not delay."
Zhang Ren reminded.
After taking a look at the sunset, Liu Bei nodded and said,
"All officers and men listen to the order and prepare immediately. We will set off after a stick of incense!"
"Here!"
Everyone suddenly accepted the order.
Even Baozhong didn't bother to clean up. After Liu Bei gathered his troops, he quickly went south and pounced on Nanzheng.
By the time the Yizhou Army was less than ten miles away from Nanzheng, the night had become dark.
Liu Bei immediately ordered the army to slow down and quietly moved towards Nanzheng.
When Nanzheng City could be vaguely seen, the Yizhou Army stopped advancing and waited for Yang Ren and others to send a signal from the city.
