Bai Xiaowen only checked the terrain and did not rush the troops to attack the pass. Just like that, two days passed peacefully.
On the third day, Bai Xiaowen still brought troops to check out the stronghold.
The generals did not understand what he meant.
Ma Yunlu said, "The Duke Of Yan looked the day before yesterday, yesterday, and today again. Can we kill Eryang and take the pass? "
Ma Dai quickly restrained his sister.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "If we raid the camp tonight, we will definitely win."
Hence, he secretly sent out troops.
Although the generals had received the military order, their faces were filled with disbelief.
After all, the pass was too dangerous, and it was high up. It was not easy for the army to spread out. In such a narrow and dense terrain, Zhang Lu's army only needed to rain arrows to stop the Yuan army from advancing.
What was the point of raiding the camp? Would Eryang be so stupid that he did not even arrange sentries?
At 2: 00 AM, Bai Xiaowen ordered Han Qi (Camille), Li Shuyi, Qiao Rui, Han Xu, and Cecilia to lead an elite squad to sneak toward Zhang Lu's camp.
The other native generals did not think highly of this arrangement.
Zhang He advised, "Eryang is a talented general, so the defense of the camp will definitely be tight. If you want to send people in, it will be difficult to succeed. Instead, you will lose soldiers. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled, "Don't worry, I have already placed spies in Zhang Lu's camp. This operation will definitely succeed."
Zhang He and the other generals did not believe him.
At 3: 00 AM, Zhang Xiu and Zhang He followed Bai Xiaowen's orders and led an army toward the pass to assist the infiltrating team.
When they arrived near the camp, they saw a sea of fire. Yangping Pass Zhang Lu's camp was already on fire. People shouted and horses neighed, and it was a mess.
Zhang Xiu and Zhang He exchanged glances, and their eyes were filled with shock.
"When did the Duke Of Yan prepare spies? Sure enough, it has unfathomable abilities! "This was the same thought that ran through both of their minds at the same time.
However, the two valiant generals did not hesitate and directly led their troops to attack the stronghold.
Amidst the flames, Yang Ang was stabbed to death by Zhang Xiu's spear. Yang Ren abandoned his subordinates, flags, and supplies and fled. Bai Xiaowen led his troops straight into the mountain pass, advancing toward Yangping Pass.
Zhang Wei, the general guarding Yangping Pass, saw Yang Ren running away alone and the pass being seized. He knew that he could not defend Yangping Pass, so he abandoned the pass and ran away that very night.
Bai Xiaowen seized the opportunity to occupy Yangping Pass.
The generals congratulated him one after another and asked him when he had prepared the spy. Bai Xiaowen only smiled and did not answer.
In fact, Bai Xiaowen's observation of the terrain for the past three days was just a cover. He had already studied the terrain around Yangping Pass through the Mountain River Geographical Map.
He used the excuse of observing the terrain as an excuse, but in reality, he was looking for an opportunity to secretly use the Bewitching Talisman to control Zhang Lu.
Although Zhang Lu was an elite, in front of the Taiping Talisman, it was still difficult for him to fight back.
However, Bai Xiaowen's luck was not good for the past two days. The captains he controlled were not in charge of night patrol.
It was not until the third day that Bai Xiaowen controlled a captain in charge of night patrol. Only then did he send Li Shuyi and his teammates to sneak in and set fire to create chaos. Then, Zhang He and Zhang Xiu, the two Lord-class valiant generals, led their troops to attack and seize the pass.
Zhang Wei and Yang Ren lost Yangping Pass and returned to Nanzheng to meet Zhang Lu.
Zhang Lu reproachfully asked, "You said that Yangping Pass was an amazing place in Hanzhong, how come it was lost in less than ten days?"
Zhang Wei said, "This time, it's because Yang Ang and Yang Ren lost the pass. There was no way to defend Yangping Pass, so we could only retreat."
Zhang Lu, whose mind was filled with the doctrine of surrender, said, "Duke Yan's military is like a god. How can our army resist? It's better to surrender. "
Zhang Wei was still unconvinced. "Nanzheng City has been in business for twenty years. The city walls are high and thick, and the food reserves can last for ten years. Why should we surrender? Maybe in a few months, the world will change and Yuan Xi's army will have no choice but to retreat. "
Zhang Wei was referring to Jingzhou and Yangzhou in the south. If the Sun and Liu families went north to Wancheng and Hefei, Bai Xiaowen would not be able to fight on two fronts. He would have to go back to help.
Zhang Lu was persuaded again and agreed to defend Nanzheng.
Zhang Wei said, "According to Yang Ren, Yuan Xi is proficient in Daoist techniques. He seems to know a kind of bewitching technique that can control a soldier for his use. He can steal doors, set fires, assassinate, and so on. There's nothing he won't do. Brother, you have to be on guard against such a strange technique. "
Zhang Lu said, "This is a talisman that bewitches the mind. It comes from the same source as Zhang Jiao's demonic techniques. As long as you supervise the soldiers to drink the talisman water I made, they will be able to resist the power of Yuan Xi's talisman. "
Bai Xiaowen led the army to Nanzheng City. He saw the sturdy city and set up camp.
Bai Xiaowen gathered the generals to discuss the plan to take down the city.
Time: Before the Generals Summoning Drum.
Location: Zhang Xiu's tent.
Characters: Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu.
The small show began.
Zhang Xiu saw Jia Xu busy writing and drawing and asked, "Mister, you still have the mood to write a letter here?"
Jia Xu smiled. "This is not as simple as a letter. This is a step for me to improve."
"What do you mean?"
Jia Xu said, "Nanzheng is the capital of Hanzhong. Zhang Lu has been in business for many years and built an iron fortress. The Duke Of Yan will be able to take it down in the end. However, it will take a long time and affect the next step of the plan to take Xichuan. "
Zhang Xiu nodded. "And then?"
Jia Xu smiled. "It's only you, General. I won't tell anyone else, so please come closer. "
Zhang Xiu leaned over.
Jia Xu whispered, "Do you know that there's a person called Yang Song in Nanzheng City? He's greedy and has no integrity. He's the easiest to bribe. Most importantly, Zhang Lu can't tell the difference. Yang Song has a high position in Hanzhong. We just need to do this to take down the city. "
Zhang Xiu said, "Why don't you offer this to the Duke Of Yan?"
Jia Xu smiled.
Zhang Xiu understood and said helplessly, "Mister, don't make the same mistake as last time."
Jia Xu smiled. "I'm sure that the Duke Of Yan won't think of this. This isn't a decision made by intelligence but by experience. The Duke Of Yan is only in his twenties and doesn't know much about the people in the various provinces. Even if he's a genius, he wouldn't be able to think of this plan if he doesn't know Yang Song's character. I don't need to wait too long. As long as the Duke Of Yan hits a wall in Nanzheng City, I'll come out and offer him a plan. "
Zhang Xiu said in admiration, "Mister, you're really smart."
Then, Zhang Xiu followed the sound of the Generals Summoning Drum and came to Bai Xiaowen's camp.
Bai Xiaowen asked the generals if they had a good plan to take down the city. All of them lowered their heads in silence.
Bai Xiaowen said, "It's not difficult to take down Nanzheng. No matter how strong the city is, it can be taken down from the inside. "
Zhang He and Zhang Xiu asked, "Is Lord going to use the same method as before?" They recalled the strange fire at night in the camp at Yangping Pass.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "The same method can be used once, but not twice. I'm going to bribe someone from Nanzheng City to work for me … Eh? General Zhang Xiu, what's wrong? "
Zhang Xiu coughed and his face turned red. "No, nothing, I just choked on my saliva."
