Pang Rou, who was not far away, was excited when she heard this. According to the plan, they would set off two hours earlier than Yang Song. Otherwise, if they didn't get the garrison on duty at Yangping Pass drunk, there would be no chance of crossing the pass and entering Shu, and Yang Song wouldn't be able to confuse him later. audiovisual.
Pang Rou was so anxious that Song Chen, disguised as a Xiliang soldier, walked up to him and whispered a few words in his ear.
Pang Rou turned from worry to joy, strode forward, and accepted the topic: "General Cheng is here well. We were once allies of Xiliang. The general only brought ten jars of wine. Isn't it a bit stingy?"
"Isn't Xianda too little? It's not easy for everyone to live under someone else's roof. My camp is not rich yet. These ten jars of wine have been stored for a long time..." Cheng Yin's tone was cold, saying to himself that you drink porridge every day. This meeting is actually very picky.
Pang Rou clasped her fists and said, "The ten bottles of wine that General Cheng sent are indeed a little short. One bowl for each of us athletes is not enough. General, you should take them back and enjoy them yourself."
Cheng Yin stepped forward and whispered: "Xianda, don't look at the situation you are in now. Don't do these things of sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. What can the remaining more than a hundred people do?"
Seeing that Brother Cong was about to muddy the water, Pang De quickly came over and said righteously: "Brother is right. It's not that we want to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. It's just that it's not advisable to drink porridge for a long time. General Cheng, please come back."
Cheng Yin finally understood. I dare you not only to think that there is too little wine, but you also want to ask me for some meat to go with the wine? He immediately wanted to retreat, but before leaving, he didn't want to be in such a mess, so he repeated the old words: "It seems that I am not fully prepared, but what are you planning to do now? Are you going to the city to see the lanterns?"
Pang De wanted to continue what Cheng Yin said, but Pang Rou said first: "We don't want to be welcomed by Master Zhang, so we won't go into the city to cause trouble for him. The sons miss their hometown at night and can't sleep. Ling Ming and I took them out for a run. Once you run, not only your body will be warm but you will also be able to fall asleep easily when you are tired.”
When Cheng Yin heard that, good guys, they didn't miss their hometown, they were clearly not very hungry.
What the two Pang brothers are doing now is just to use the exhaustion of running to make these Xiliang men forget their hunger. This is a really cruel trick.
"I see, let's see you later." Cheng Yin then clasped his fists and got on his horse, planning to borrow some food from Zhang Lu tomorrow and be fully prepared to win over this old Ma Chao team.
Seeing Cheng Yin leading the team away in disappointment, Pang De breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Fortunately, my brother is smart, otherwise he would have missed something big like this."
Pang Rou shook her head and pointed to Song Chen behind her, "They were all taught by General Song."
"General Pang, let's set off quickly, don't lose time." Seeing that Cheng Yin and his entourage had disappeared, Song Chen slowly stepped forward.
"Let's go." Pound nodded and immediately commanded the Xiliang soldiers to set off.
Although the remaining more than a hundred people were all Xiliang cavalry, they did not even have a horse, including Pang De.
In the past, Ma Chao fled to Shu after defeating Jicheng. Zhang Lu was worried that the people who stayed behind also had second thoughts. They borrowed all the Xiliang war horses while Pang De was seriously ill. They called it helping Pang De to raise horses, but in fact it was equivalent to breaking his legs.
The soldiers of Xiliang have been feasting on food and wine in the past few days, and they know that they have to go to Shu to join their old master Ma Chao. Now they walk very lightly, and they have renewed hope for the future.
Song Chen led Pang De quickly by the moonlight, and more than a hundred people came to the carriage prepared by Yang Song. Most of the carriages were filled with rice and grain, and only ten carriages of wine and meat were used for the Yangpingguan labor force.
Yangping Pass is a three-sided pass guarding the central and western parts of Han Dynasty. It has been a battleground for military strategists throughout the ages.
Pang De and others drove the carriage, and arrived at Yangping Pass two hours later. He learned that someone was bringing wine and meat to the army during the Lantern Festival, and Lieutenant General Yang Bai personally went down to greet him.
Song Chen had previously detoured from Guanzhong to Hanzhong, and had already paid filial piety to Yang Bai when he passed through Yangping Pass, so he later got in touch with Yang Song.
Yang Bai knew roughly the plan between Yang Song and Song Chen. Yang Song promised to give him 20% of the benefits after the plan was completed. Anyway, it was the benefits that Song Chen gave up, and he could just take care of his brother.
Yang Bai performed hard at Yangping Pass and called the soldiers on night duty to bring wine to the pass for drinking.
The noisy sound soon alerted the general Yang Ren, and after asking, he learned that Hanzhong had sent him wine and meat as a reward.
Yang Ren asked curiously: "My lord, Shang Yuanye, has been very busy. Why do you think of our Yangping garrison this year?"
Yang Bai handed over the wine jar and explained: "My brother asked for instructions from the lord, so he sent people to bring wine, meat and labor. We just take advantage of the Yuan night to relax."
"You and the soldiers can enjoy it. I will guard the patrol for the soldiers." Yang Ren refused.
"It's pitch dark everywhere. Where can there be any enemies? The general should have fun with everyone." Yang Bai brought the drinks at the right time.
Yang Ren thought about it for a moment before raising his head and drinking. He thought that if someone came to break through the barrier at night, they would be holding a torch as bright as day, and they could spot the enemy from a distance. There was really no need to be overly cautious.
"What are they going to do?" Yang Ren drank two bowls and asked curiously as he watched the Xiliang soldiers help carry the wine.
Yang Bai smiled and said: "The generals saw that it was already getting late, and the cold wind outside the pass made them uncomfortable, so let them rest inside the pass. How about returning to Hanzhong tomorrow morning?"
When Yang Bai was talking, it happened that the dark clouds in the sky closed the moon and Yangping Pass fell into darkness. The soldiers immediately lit the torches, but the night wind kept blowing on their faces, so the soldiers extinguished the torches and waited for the moonlight.
"That's fine. We can't treat the troops harshly when they come to work at night." Yang Ren saw that it was really windy outside the city, and he couldn't bear to have Pound wait under the pass to blow the cold wind.
Yang Bai immediately arranged for someone to greet the convoy to enter the pass. Yang Ren looked at the pass for a while and found that there were more than a hundred carriages, but there were only more than ten carriages carrying wine and meat to the pass.
Yang Ren frowned and immediately asked the officer in charge of the interrogation: "The carriage behind does not seem to be alcohol, so what is in the cargo compartment?"
"It's a supply of rice and grain sent to Guan Guan." The officer answered with clasped fists.
"That's weird. They shouldn't be sending supplies right now..." Yang Ren was very confused.
Yang Bai pretended to be drunk. He pulled Yang Ren and shook him and said, "I should be delivering food along the way. I'll just unload it after dawn. The general will finish the wine in the bowl soon."
"Oh okay..." Yang Ren didn't think much.
Everyone on duty at Yangping Pass had a share. Drinking wine could have kept them warm in the winter, but when they stood at the pass and were blown by the cold wind, drunkenness quickly climbed onto their foreheads.
When the moon emerged from the clouds again, there was already a series of snoring sounds at Yangping Gate.
At three o'clock in the morning, Yang Bai shook the drunken general Yang Ren awake.
"What's wrong?" Yang Ren was confused.
Yang Bai looked distressed and said: "General, something has happened..."
Yang Ren was half lying down, but when he heard these three words, he immediately sat up in shock. He asked in a panic: "Is it Cao Cao or Liu Bei who called?"
"No, it's my brother who came to work for the army..." Yang Bai shook his head.
