"Zhang Fei, you can't scare me by pretending to be crazy. You'd better keep half your eyes open when you sleep at night, otherwise that black head will be in danger." After Zhang He said these harsh words, he walked down the pass.
The situation of the fire on Daqing Mountain was unknown, so Zhang He acted cautiously and did not return for help. On the one hand, he wanted to guard against Zhang Fei, but on the other hand, the road up and down the mountain was too dangerous, and large-scale mountain climbing at night would undoubtedly be a recipe for death.
When the army stopped at the roadside to rest, Zhang He sent out capable scouts to climb the cliff and go up the mountain and go around the trail to explore the Danqu water. Zhang He was a little suspicious of Zhang Fei at this time. After all, that black face couldn't hide the secret. Could he really What's the conspiracy?
The water flows beside the road and the birds sing in the mountains.
Zhang He opened his eyes and found that the sky was already gloomy. He slept lightly because of too much thinking at night. As soon as he woke up, he urged the soldiers to eat dry food to satisfy their hunger. The temporary garrison was gradually moved.
At this time, the scouts who went to Danqu came back in embarrassment and informed that the Danqu camp was still in Yan Yan's hands.
After hearing this, Zhang He felt that he couldn't swallow the dry biscuits in his mouth. It seemed that he had really fallen into Zhang Fei's trap.
Zhang He stared up at Daqing Mountain for a long time, but he never saw the scouts who went up the mountain come back. His mood became extremely heavy at this moment, thinking that something might have gone wrong with Yang Ang and the camp on the mountain.
After a simple analysis, Zhang He believed that even if the Danqu camp was still in the hands of Yan Yan, it would have been completely consumed by Yang Ang, so he made a decisive decision and drove his troops westward. As long as Yan Yan was eliminated in one go, he could turn north. Supplies in Hanchang, and finally escapes from Bashan along the mountain road.
He couldn't care about Yang Ang's life or death, nor could he care about the people looted from the mountain. Zhang He decided that he had to escape first.
Subdued generals without any foundation will be safely used by any force, because they cannot threaten others, but they are also very easy to be sacrificed as cannon fodder.
Zhang He has followed Cao Cao since Guandu surrendered, and he has often cooperated with other generals in suppressing rebellions and conquests in various places. He is able to survive to this day intact. In addition to his own strong strength, his greatest advantage is that he knows the current situation and knows how to advance and retreat. He will never do it for the sake of The so-called hard fight for honor.
When Cao Jun was marching towards Yan Yan's camp, Zhang He kept sending sentries to Danqu to understand the situation, and even left scouts in the rear to monitor Zhang Fei. He did not want to be attacked from two sides in the narrow mountain road.
Just after marching less than ten miles, the scouts from the front came back in a panic and reported: "General, Yan Yan's army was spotted three miles ahead..."
"How many troops did Yan Yan come?" Zhang He asked.
"The rest of the comrades were all shot and killed, so I didn't dare to get too close. There seemed to be a lot of them..." the scout explained.
After listening to the scout's account, Zhang He guessed that Yan Yan had brought out all the soldiers and horses of the Danqu camp, thinking that this old guy didn't want to live long? Those two or three thousand soldiers actually dared to come out to fight me head-on?
"Order all the ministries to inspect the swords, guns, and armor immediately. Let's destroy Yan Yan in one go, and then go to Hanchang for supplies." Zhang He ordered the soldiers beside him.
"Wei." The messenger rushed away after receiving the order.
In less than half an hour, the two armies encountered each other near a high mountain valley. Because the shoals beside the road were wider, this was Zhang He's chosen battle location.
When Zhang He saw Yan Yan's soldiers in formation, his originally gentle face turned cold because he found that the opponent's total force was almost equal to his own.
He wondered, didn't Zhang Fei divide his troops? Or is it that Yang Ang led the crowd to defect? This must be how it can be explained.
At this time, Yan Yan lined up his sword, pointed at Zhang He and sneered: "Zhang He, my son, you are already a lost dog, why don't you quickly dismount and surrender? Otherwise, today next year will be your death anniversary."
Zhang He cursed loudly: "Old Yan Yan, has Yang Ang surrendered? Tell him to come out and see me."
Yan Yan turned around and asked, "Ling Ming, Zhang He wants to see Yang Ang."
Pang De patted his horse and walked to the front of the formation, holding up Yang Ang's head with one hand, "Zhang He, Yang Ang has been killed by me. If you insist on seeing him, I can help."
"Pang De, you are actually..." Zhang He looked surprised.
When the generals in Hanzhong surrendered to Cao Cao, they all insisted that Pang De had fled back to Xiliang. For this reason, Xia Houyuan sent people to Liangzhou to investigate, but he did not expect that Pang De would appear in Yizhou.
"Wei Gong has treated you well. How can I become a thief today? Let's forget about the past for turning against him." Seeing that Yang Ang had been awarded the head, Zhang He mistakenly thought that there were many Cao soldiers in the army behind him. He shouted loudly to the 'Cao army' who was trying to incite a temporary surrender.
When another general came out of the opposing formation, Zhang He was shocked to see this man with a red face and a long beard. He thought that Guan Yu had come from Jingzhou, but after a closer look, he found that there was still a difference in appearance.
"Zhang He, son, don't waste your words. Your soldiers are on the mountain now. We are all soldiers and horses of Yizhou." Wei Yan said coldly.
"Who are you?" Zhang He frowned.
Wei Yanxu raised his eyes and shouted very proudly: "Nanyang Wei Yan is the one."
"The brave will win when we meet on a narrow road. What are you waiting for when you are holding back? If you are afraid of me, retreat quickly. I, the general, will spare your life."
Zhang He kept staring at Pang De while he was talking. He instinctively felt that Ma Chao's subordinate was not easy to deal with, but he thought he should be much easier to deal with than Zhang Fei.
Yan Yan stroked her white beard and sneered: "We are waiting for General Zhang, what are you waiting for?"
Zhang He was startled when he heard this. He almost forgot about the existence of the black guy. He had left a hidden sentry behind him. Zhang Fei shouldn't dare to chase him, right? Although he tried his best to convince himself, sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Kill me." Zhang He did not dare to wait any longer and directly commanded an army of ten thousand people to charge.
Suddenly the sound of killing was loud in the valley. Zhang He aimed his gun at Yan Yan and rushed towards him. He had just discovered that Yan Yan was at the front. At this time, he planned to capture the thief first and capture the king first.
Yan Yan's current military position is as a partial general. Compared with General Wei Yanpi and Pang De's Zhonglang General, he has the highest position among the three, so he is the leader when Zhang Fei is away.
Seeing Zhang He rushing over like a gust of wind, and just when the spear was about to get close to Yan Yan, Wei Yan, a red-faced and long-bearded man, swung his sword from an inclined plane.
Clang
Zhang He hurriedly reined in his horse and blocked it with his gun. Then the two men clashed with each other with their swords and guns, the horses spun back and forth, and the two men fought together.
The two fought fiercely and the outcome was close. Zhang He seemed to see the shadow of Guan Yu in Wei Yan's body, so he violently pushed away Wei Yan's sword, clamped his feet on the horse's belly and ran out of the opponent's attack range.
Before Zhang He could take a breath, he felt a gust of cool wind above his head. He instinctively leaned on the horse's neck and saw a white light passing by in the sky. Zhang He narrowly dodged Pang De's horizontal knife.
"Pound, do you dare to make a sneak attack?"
Zhang He stood up and swung his carbine back at a very tricky angle, but Pang De accurately avoided it with his sword.
"Zhang He, son, do you only have this little weight? If I had planned a sneak attack, you would have died several times when you and Wen Chang were fighting just now." Pang De laughed and mocked.
As soon as Zhang He left Wei Yan, he encountered Pang De's entanglement. After a few rounds, he was frightened. Pang De's martial arts skills were on par with Wei Yan's, and the two were not far behind Zhang Fei.
Zhang He felt like he was eating bitter gourd. He complained that Liu Bei's fierce generals had gathered together and let him encounter them all. Even when Xu Chu came, he couldn't withstand it.
