Zitong, as the rising sun rose, a unit was seen from afar from afar. The soldiers on the city tower looked alert. Now Zitong Pass has been occupied by Ye Zhao's special operations battalion, but the banner is still under the banner of the Shu army.

Overnight, the eight hundred soldiers in Zitongguan were washed away by Gu Cheng and the Special Forces Battalion. What's terrifying was that except for those who died, except for the more bloody smell the next day, no one of the merchants traveling between Zitongguan noticed the changes in Zitongguan.

There are more raw faces, but Zitongguan is the gateway to Bashu, and further south is Langzhong. It is common for this personnel to be replaced. The merchants and mountain people cannot control the affairs of the government until Gu Cheng cleaned up the bodies in the city, no one noticed something strange.

"General, the period of one month has not arrived. It is not a grain-pressing team, and there are a large number of people. Is it possible to close the city gate?" A special combat battalion team led to Gu Cheng, looking at the slowly moving troops with wolf-like eyes. These people were elite soldiers selected from the army. With Ye Zhao's training, don't think it's just a team leader. Just reaching an ordinary army, martial arts alone is no less than ordinary military marquis. In the special combat battalion, Gu Cheng has the highest military rank but only reached the military marquis. Ordinary soldiers are also people who can become generals in ordinary military ranks based on their abilities.

"Don't move lightly! Ask the soldiers to prepare for battle at any time!" Gu Cheng shook his head and looked at the soldiers who came slowly from afar and said, "Follow me to go down the city!"

"Here!"

Gu Cheng only brought two followers down the city, rode his horse out of the city, and went straight to the army.

"Who is coming!" Before the other scout came to ask, Gu Cheng took the lead and came to the front of the army first, shouting loudly.

"I am Zhang Xiu, another Sima of the army!" A general ran out of the horse, looked up and down at Gu Cheng, frowned and said, "Who are you? Where is Tao Ran?"

"Can you show the seal?" Gu Cheng ignored it and said loudly.

"Bold, have you never heard of the name of the Five Dogs of Rice Master?" Zhang Xiu turned his back and a general glared at Gu Cheng and said.

Zhang Xiu was the leader of the Five Dogs of Rice Sect, and was called the Five Dogs of Rice in the folk. Although he is loyal to Liu Yan now, Zhang Xiu prefers others to call himself the Five Dogs of Rice Sect.

Gu Cheng ignored it and just looked at Zhang Xiudao: "Please forgive the general for being rude, and the army only recognizes military orders!"

"You..." The general was furious and wanted to scold him, but was stopped by Zhang Xiu.

"It's okay!" Zhang Xiu looked at Gu Cheng with appreciation, took out a seal from his arms and handed it to the general beside him, looked at Gu Cheng with a smile and said, "I wonder what position this general holds?"

Gu Cheng pretended to confirm Yinxin, and returned the Yinxin to the general with a bad face. He turned over and dismounted, bowed to Zhang Xiu and said, "Where is the responsibility, I hope the general will forgive him. He is in the garrison of the military marquis in Tongguan, Xia Nai Zi, not the general."

The military marquis was also an official position given by Ye Zhao. Although he was an elite soldier trained by Ye Zhao himself, before he made meritorious contributions, the special operations battalion was not easy to give too high military positions, and it was difficult to convince the public.

"It's just a little military marquis!" The general beside Zhang Xiu sneered disdainfully.

"Okay." Zhang Xiu waved his hand and said, "Captain Tao Ran is in the city?"

"General Tao suffered from malaria several days ago. Now he is recuperating in the mansion. He has hired several doctors and is unwilling to take care of him. Now he is recuperating in the mansion..." Gu Cheng hesitated for a moment and bowed and said, "If the general wants to visit him, it is best to bring a few doctors and craftsmen with him."

"No need!" Zhang Xiu waved his hand quickly and said, "I just asked casually, who is in charge of Zitongguan now?"

"It's the last general." Gu Cheng bowed.

"This general was ordered to go to Baishui Pass to garrison the troops, passing through Zitong. The documents have been shown to you, and they will be released as soon as possible!" Zhang Xiu took the seal sent back by the general and looked at Gu Cheng and said.

"General forgives the crime, the last general has no right to agree to this matter!" Gu Cheng said in a look of embarrassment: "The last general is not Zi Tong's guard general, and this matter needs to be approved by General Tao..."

"Bastard, my general was ordered by the governor of the state during this trip. Isn't it that the soldiers are very fast? If the military information is delayed, how can you afford it?" the general said angrily.

"This..." Gu Cheng thought for a while and bowed to Zhang Xiu, "I wonder if the general can stay in Zitongguan for two or three days. The last general... The last general sent someone to ask General Tao for instructions. As long as General Tao stamped the seal, the last general will immediately release it."

"Just stamping, how does it take so long?" Zhang Xiu frowned.

"General, forgive me..." Gu Cheng smiled bitterly: "General, you should know that malaria is very troublesome. To be honest, the generals and servants in General Tao's mansion have all been infected with malaria. As a last resort, several military marquises and others discussed closing them all in the mansion. Now that the door of the mansion is to be reopened, an altar needs to be set up..."

Gu Cheng suddenly looked at Zhang Xiu and smiled and said, "I forgot that the general is a Tianshi. Why not go with us? First, we can worship ghosts and gods, and second, we can also stamp them directly, and perhaps we can also help General Tao cure malaria!"

The Five Doks of Rice Sect is widely circulated in Bajun, and many Shu people believe in this teaching.

"This..." Zhang Xiu waved his hand quickly and said, "No need! This general is in military affairs, and ghosts are not close to him. If you want to invite God again, you need to fast for seven days. Let others go."

Just kidding, others may think that the sayings of ghosts and gods are awesome, but as the number one charlatan of Wudou Rice, although Zhang Xiu has cultivated the way of ghosts and gods, he has never seen ghosts and gods. He usually uses magic to save people and just burns a piece of talisman paper with water to drink it. If it is good, it is his contribution. If it is not good, the patient is dissatisfied. Because of this, people in Shu believe in ghosts and gods, but as the leader of Wudou Rice, Zhang Xiu does not believe in the sayings of ghosts and gods in his heart. Now that everyone in the palace suffers from malaria, how dare he get over it?

Taking a deep breath and suppressing his mood, Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "The general will camp here and wait for three days. After three days, please be sure to send the seal back."

"Don't worry, General!" Gu Cheng nodded in embarrassment and bowed to Zhang Xiuyi, "Then say goodbye."

"Yes." Zhang Xiu nodded and ordered people to set up camp on the spot.

After Gu Cheng led the two teams back to the city, a lot of sweat oozed out of his forehead. He looked at the two and smiled and said, "It's more tiring than his mother to fight!"

The two team leaders were also in lingering fear. Three people ran to the enemy formation to fool the enemy commander. It sounded nothing, but when they were in the scene and had a ghost in their hearts, if there was a slight mistake in front of the thousands of troops, it would be a terrible end. Even the veterans of hundreds of battles were trembling in their hearts.

"The general is still powerful. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to deal with it as freely as the general." A team leader smiled.

"Immediately go to Jiameng Pass to notify General Guan. Shu general Zhang Xiu led a heavy army to come. His intention was unknown. Let him notify the lord and see how the lord responded?" Gu Cheng breathed out and looked at the two teams and said.

It only takes three days, even the soldiers of the Special Forces Camp would not be able to travel back and forth from here to Baishui Pass in three days. It would be difficult to travel back and forth between Jiameng Pass. They could only go to Jiameng Pass first to board a flying boat from Guan Hai, and then go to Baishui Pass to see what Ye Zhao meant. If Baishui Pass had not been captured and the Shu army came again, then there would be no need to continue defending Zitong Pass.

"Here!" The two teams led a polite greeting. One of them turned around and arranged for people to go to Jiameng Pass. The other team leader glanced at the open city gate: "General, have the city gate closed?"

"If you pass the city gate, it will make Zhang Xiu suspicious. Within three days, everything will be the same at Zitong Pass. After three days, it will be determined according to the situation!" Gu Cheng hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and gave up this plan. As the main general selected by Ye Zhao in the special battle camp, in addition to learning various skills quickly, Gu Cheng had a talent that ordinary people could not understand in terms of insight into people's hearts. Otherwise, if only in terms of courage, Guan Hai and Dian Wei were better able to be the position of the main general of this special battle camp than Gu Cheng. Ye Zhao made Gu Cheng the position of the main general. At least this ability to understand people's hearts was the one that satisfied Ye Zhao the most.

"Here!" The team leader nodded, separated from Gu Chao and arranged patrols on their own. Although it was still the same on the surface, all the soldiers of the special operations battalion in Zitong Pass were nervous.

In order to avoid Zhang Xiu sending people to investigate, Gu Cheng also invited Taoist priests to drive away evil spirits in Taoran's mansion. As for Taoran, after the soldiers of the special operations camp asked him about various information about Zitongguan, he was tortured to death because he could not be tortured.

Two days later, Ye Zhao received a message from Jiameng Pass.

"Zhang Xiu?" Ye Zhao looked at Zhao Wei beside him. This was a strange name.

Zhao Wei finally chose to surrender and agreed to Ye Zhao to help connect with the Shu family, but not participating in the dispute between Ye Zhao and Liu Yan, which is also a loyalty to the former master.

"This person is the leader of the Five Dogs of Rice Sect. He has a great status in the Bashu area and is believed by the people. After the emperor entered Shu, he recruited this person. Now he leads his army here. I am afraid that the emperor's uncle also has the intention to use troops in Hanzhong." Zhao Wei looked at Ye Zhao with a complicated expression. He did not expect that even Zitong Pass was taken down by Ye Zhao.

What's even more terrifying is that Zhang Xiu didn't realize that Zitongguan had changed his master. Hearing the intention of the person who came to report the news, Zhang Xiu obviously regarded the Hanzhong soldiers in Zitongguan as Shu army without any suspicion.

This is useless, I am afraid that Ye Zhao will be plotted against. Once Zhang Xiu's troops are destroyed, Ye Zhao can rush his troops to Langzhong at any time. Shu County dare not speak, but in the Bashu area, no one can stop Ye Zhao's troops. In this way, Ye Zhao's entry into Shu has become a foregone conclusion. Shuzhong, which has just been stable and not long, is likely to suffer a new round of reshuffle!

"Ha~" Ye Zhao smiled and shook his head and said, "If I hadn't been one step earlier, if Zhang Xiu's troops came, it would have been difficult to break these three levels by then!"

Zhao Wei did not respond. There was no if in this world. The fact is that now the three levels have been obtained by Ye Zhao, so Zhang Xiu is afraid that he will not be able to escape Ye Zhao's plot.

"Go back immediately and tell Gu Cheng that Zhang Xiu will pass the pass. After passing the pass, he will seal the city gate, prepare for war, and cut off the retreat route of Zhang Xiu. Guan Hai, you should take the Air Force back to Jiameng Pass to deploy defense first. Ding Li, immediately set off the camp and prepare for the Shu army!" Ye Zhao stood up and said.
