In Nanzheng City.
Before the sky darkened, Zhang Qiying put on soft armor and quietly waited for Yang Ren and Yang Ang in the mansion.
When the night fell, Yang Ren finally arrived at Zhang Lu's mansion.
"Uncle Yang, how is the situation?"
Zhang Qiying suppressed the tension in her heart and asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, Miss, everything goes well!"
Yang Ren chuckled,
"Right now, I am in charge of public security in the city, and General Yang Ang is in charge of city defense."
"With the two of us joining forces, we will ensure that Cao Wei's soldiers and horses in the city will not be able to escape!"
After hearing this, Zhang Qiying felt relieved!
Seeing that the time was almost up, the two of them no longer hesitated and immediately left Zhang Lu's mansion and headed for the city gate.
I saw that a group of soldiers and horses had already gathered at the city gate, and the leader was Yang Ang.
The three met and exchanged a few words, Yang Ang asked,
"I wonder if Master can arrive here tonight?"
"It should be possible. According to the people sent by my father, they should have arrived in Baozhong today during the day. If they march in a hurry, there will be no problem in reaching Nanzheng."
Zhang Qiying nodded slightly.
"That's good! Let's release the signal according to the agreed time!"
Yang Ren said in a deep voice.
The three of them said nothing more and just waited quietly at the city gate.
When the time came to the time agreed upon by both parties, Yang Ren immediately ordered people to light a bonfire on the top of the city.
In the dark night, this bonfire is as dazzling as the sun!
Seeing this scene, Zhang Lu outside the city was overjoyed and said,
"Uncle Liu Huang, the signal has been received!"
Liu Bei also looked happy and quickly ordered,
"Enter the city!"
Following his order, 50,000 Yizhou troops were dispatched instantly and rushed towards Nanzheng!
After arriving at Nanzheng City, Zhang Qiying on the top of the city said softly,
"But father and Uncle Liu?"
"Qiying, it's dad!"
Zhang Lu recognized his daughter's voice and responded loudly,
"Hurry open the city gate and welcome my father and Uncle Liu into the city!"
Zhang Qiying felt a little calmer, turned to Yang Ren and said,
"Please uncle, please open the city gate quickly!"
Yang Ren nodded towards the men on the side.
After a while, the Nanzheng City Gate slowly opened.
Liu Bei was just about to enter the city, but was stopped by Fazheng.
"Lord, please be patient!"
"Why?"
Liu Bei looked at him in surprise.
"The situation in the city is unclear and the war is dangerous. I would like to ask my lord to stay outside the city for the time being. After our army takes Nanzheng, it will not be too late for my lord to enter the city again."
Fa Zheng explained.
"Mr. Takanao is right, brother, just stay outside the city!"
Zhang Fei said carelessly,
"Just leave the rest of the war to us!"
After hearing their advice, Liu Bei muttered,
"In that case, then I'll listen to you!"
Everyone no longer hesitated, and led by Zhang Fei, Zhang Ren and others, they poured into Nanzheng City!
"Father!"
"Qiying!"
Zhang Lu and his daughter met again, and the scene was quite touching for a while.
But time was short, and Zhang Fei on the side had to interrupt them.
"Master Zhang, the key is to capture the city quickly!"
Only then did Zhang Lu react, patted Zhang Qiying on the back, and said to Yang Ren and Yang Ang in a deep voice,
"Please help me, both of you!"
"If we take back Nanzheng and drive away Cao Wei this time, let alone me, even Uncle Liu will reward you heavily!"
Yang Ren and Yang Ang looked at each other and said in unison,
"Everything is subject to Master's instructions!"
"very good!"
Zhang Lu smiled with satisfaction and ordered,
"You two lead the way immediately. Let's control all the men left by Yang Ling first!"
"Here!"
Yang Ren and Yang Ang called their soldiers and horses and hurried towards the city.
Zhang Lu, Zhang Fei and others did not hesitate and hurriedly followed them!
The two parties, one behind the other, were marching rapidly on the streets of Nanzheng.
However, just when they arrived at the center of the city, a sudden change occurred!
Countless torches suddenly lit up on the houses on both sides of the street!
The originally dark long street suddenly seemed like daylight!
The sudden light instantly shocked Zhang Lu, Zhang Fei and others, and they stopped subconsciously.
They looked up and saw densely packed soldiers standing down high, with powerful bows and crossbows pointed at them one after another!
The Yizhou Army panicked instantly!
Zhang Lu's heart sank, thinking that Cao Wei had discovered his trace.
He subconsciously looked forward, and when he was about to ask Yang Ren and Yang Ang, he saw that their soldiers and horses also turned around, and the weapons in their hands were pointed at the Yizhou Army!
In this situation, no matter how stupid Zhang Lu is, he still understands that he has fallen into the trap of Yang Ren and Yang Ang!
"You two common men!"
Zhang Lu was so angry that he cursed,
"I have been so kind to you, and this is how you repay me?"
"Master, you can't blame us for this..."
Before Yang Ren finished speaking, Yang Ang on the side sneered,
"Zhang Lu, you claim to be a person who cultivates Taoism and becomes an immortal, but you don't know the fate of heaven and the general trend!"
"Now we, the Wei Dynasty, have captured Hanzhong in order to unify the world."
"Since you have been defeated, you should give up resistance and surrender honestly!"
"But you don't want to join traitors like Liu Bei again and have to act against nature?"
Zhang Lu was almost furious.
He wanted to scold him back, but Zhang Fei stood in front of him with his arms raised.
"Master Zhang, don't talk nonsense to them, just take action!"
Long before attacking Nanzheng, Liu Bei and Fazheng had ordered Zhang Fei, Zhang Ren and others to kill Yang Ren and Yang Ang immediately if they had ulterior motives!
Following Zhang Fei's order, the Yizhou army quickly attacked Yang Ren and Yang Ang.
When there are crossbowmen on the roofs on the left and right sides, the crossbowmen will only be asked to throw rat weapons when they fight the enemy in a group, and they will not dare to fire arrows randomly!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Arrows fell from the roof like locusts. Although the Yizhou army had shields, they also suffered a lot of casualties!
Zhang Fei held a snake spear that was eight feet long and rushed to Yang Ren and Yang Ang at the lead!
Er Yang naturally knew how powerful he was, so he retreated as soon as they fought!
"Common man, don't leave!"
Zhang Fei roared angrily, but pursued him relentlessly!
At the same time, the Yizhou Army was also fighting with Yang Ren and Yang Ang's troops. The battle was extremely fierce!
When Zhang Fei was about to catch up with Yang Ren and Yang Ang, a spear stood in front of him.
"Thieves with ring eyes, please stop being so presumptuous!"
Historically, Ma Chao was desperate and went to Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. Zhang Lu intended to betroth Zhang Qiying to him.
But in the end, under the persuasion of his subordinates, he gave up the idea.
There are two theories about her ending.
First, after Zhang Lu defected to Cao Cao, Cao Yu, Cao Cao's son, married Zhang Qiying.
Not long after, she died of illness.
Second, Zhang Qiying did not follow her father Zhang Lu to Yecheng, nor did she marry Cao Yu. Instead, she became a monk and stayed in Mianyang.
In the end, he became depressed because he missed Ma Chao.
