"What...what's going on! Tell me! I'm mute!"
The leader of the guards was completely angry. Even in such an obvious situation, Yang Bai was still bossing him around!
Snapped! Bang bang bang!
A mouth, then a series of mouths!
The leader of the guards felt secretly happy, and then he became more and more excited as he beat him, and slapped Yang Bai into a pig's head!
"I'll make you talk bad!"
"I'll make you arrogant!"
"I told you not to treat me as a human being!"
The leader of the guards was not satisfied with slapping Yang Bai's face. He continued to hit and scold him, trying to vent his anger.
"Don't...ah! Don't fight! Ah! Don't fight! I was wrong!"
Yang Bai was stunned and could only protect himself, but the guard leader was so powerful that he could not resist!
A long time passed, until Yang Bai felt that he was almost beaten to death, and then he felt someone step forward to stop him.
"Okay, enough fighting, right?"
A voice came from not far away, and the guard commander looked around, looking a little depressed.
I saw a general walking up with a big sword, it was Huang Zhong! And the soldiers who were shooting arrows just now were soldiers from the Wushe Battalion!
It turned out that a month ago, Jia Xu planned a two-sided attack on Baishui Pass. Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were supposed to lead their respective troops, while Sun Qian led the way and took a small path to bypass Baishui Pass behind. Even if Liu Zhang could not capture Baishui Pass for a while, Zhang Liao and others could launch a surprise attack from behind the pass to achieve the purpose of quickly conquering Baishui Pass.
In the end, Liu Zhang considered that Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were still young after all and had no experience in fighting alone, so he finally suspended Huang Zhong's plan to recruit soldiers, and directly appointed Huang Zhong as the main general, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang as deputy generals, leading each of them to have a total of 10,000 troops. Four thousand troops came.
"Go and notify General Xu Huang and General Zhang Liao and ask them to come over."
After Huang Zhong detoured to Baishui Pass, he did not rush to attack, but laid ambush on both sides of the road.
On the one hand, it can stop the fleeing soldiers at Baishui Pass. On the other hand, if Jiameng Pass has supporting troops, it can also ambush them on the spot.
If everything is normal, then Huang Zhong will naturally attack Baishui Pass at night.
Taking advantage of this gap, Huang Zhong looked at the attacker again.
"Who are you? Who did you beat?"
"Hmph! If you want to kill, just kill, there is so much nonsense!"
This guard leader is quite unruly, no wonder he dared to beat Yang Bai on the ground!
Huang Zhong ignored him and ordered the soldiers to tie him up. He has no right to decide this person's life or death, everything must be decided by Liu Zhang!
"What about you? Who are you?"
Huang Zhong looked at Yang Bai who was lying on the ground. Huang Zhong, who had killed without batting an eyelid, was a little shaken at the moment. He was beaten so badly!
"I...not Ang Bo..."
"Ang Bo? Your name is quite strange. No wonder you were beaten."
The stoic Huang Zhong actually had a sense of humor today!
Yang Bai shook his head desperately, but his mouth was swollen from being slapped and he couldn't speak clearly at all!
"No... Uh oh..."
"Okay, okay, shut up first."
Huang Zhong waved his hand and was too lazy to listen to his nonsense. He asked the soldiers to tie up the two men and prepare to escort them to Baishui Pass.
Soon, there was a constant commotion from the rear, and Xu Huang and Zhang Liao led all their soldiers over.
"General Huang, don't you wait to attack at night?"
Huang Zhong nodded and pointed at the corpse in front of him that was shot by random arrows.
"These people all ran away from Baishui Pass. I estimate that Baishui Pass has been captured by the lord. To be on the safe side, let's go there as soon as possible."
"As you command!"
Neither Xu Huang nor Zhang Liao had any objections and directly accepted the order.
After the battlefield was cleaned, Huang Zhong led his generals and rushed to Baishui Pass.
Sure enough, Huang Zhong and others had just reached the halfway point when they met the soldiers sent by Liu Zhang to deliver the order. Everyone no longer hesitated and hurried to Baishui Pass.
By the time Huang Zhong and others arrived at Baishui Pass, everything had already settled, and the entire Baishui Pass was under Liu Zhang's control.
Gao Yan and his soldiers were all escorted to Hanzhong County under Liu Zhang's arrangement. Among them, the soldiers temporarily went to work in the fields, while Gao Yan was placed under house arrest. It was publicized that Gao Yan died in battle.
"Lord!"
Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and Sun Qian quickly stepped forward and saluted Liu Zhang.
"Haha, please get up quickly, thank you for your hard work!"
All four of them had smiles on their faces, and they did not feel any hardship at all from the month-long journey.
"My lord, this path is really not conducive to marching. The generals are worried that it will delay my lord's important event!"
Huang Zhong was still a little scared at this time. If something big happened on his side because of the journey, he would really be to blame!
"My lord, this is also my fault. I really didn't expect that it would be so difficult for the army to pass."
Sun Qian took the initiative and took on this responsibility for Huang Zhong. After all, he was the one leading the way.
"Okay, now we have a great victory, there is no need to blame ourselves!"
Liu Zhang definitely didn't mean to blame. Now it seems that sending more than 10,000 people to take a detour is a bit redundant. But think about it from another angle, what if Yang Bai escapes and Gao Yan also abandons the pass and escapes? In that case, news of his attack will definitely reach Jiameng Pass!
Jiameng Pass is not only not less dangerous than Baishui Pass, but is much higher! Historically, Huo Jun was able to hold off an attack of 10,000 troops for a year with just a few hundred men! This shows how dangerous Jiameng Pass is!
"By the way, didn't you arrest two people? Bring them here."
If Liu Zhang hadn't reminded him, Huang Zhong would have almost forgotten about it and waved his soldiers to escort the two of them up.
Liu Zhang watched for a long time, but he didn't see who these two people were. He thought they were just minor characters, so he lost interest.
"Han Sheng, it seems that Yang Bai was shot to death by you. These two are of no use anymore. Pull them down and kill them."
"Uh! Uh! Uh!..."
When he heard that he was going to be executed, Yang Bai immediately struggled and looked at Liu Zhang desperately.
Liu Zhang waved his hand and stopped the soldiers who came forward. He looked carefully at the man with a bruised nose and swollen face, feeling surprised in his heart.
"Hey! Why does it look more familiar the more I look at it? I seem to have seen it somewhere."
Liu Zhang pointed to his mouth and motioned to the soldiers to remove the rag that was used to gag him.
"General Wei, I am Yang Bai!"
In Yang Bai's desperation, his mouth actually healed!
"Yang Bai?"
Liu Zhang looked carefully again and finally confirmed his identity. It was really Yang Bai!
"Han Sheng, did you hit this?"
Liu Zhang couldn't help but laugh and looked at Huang Zhong in surprise.
Huang Zhong shook his head and pointed to another person beside him.
"My lord, he was the one who beat him. If the general hadn't stopped him, Ang... Yang Bai would have been beaten to death by him."
"Infighting?"
Liu Zhang was even more confused. Isn't this person Yang Bai's subordinate? How could he be beaten like this?
"Let him talk."
Liu Zhang pointed to the dirty cloth on the other man's mouth, and the soldier quickly stepped forward and took it away. Unexpectedly, this person seemed to be crazy and started to curse.
"Yang Bai, traitor, beast! I, Lingbao, only regret that I was too gentle and didn't kill you with a single blow!"
