Yang Nandang, Death

Xiao Chengzhi ran fast, and Yao Guang's reaction was not slow either. He led his troops to catch up on the third day.

During this period, Xiao Chengzhi never thought of attacking back and eating Yao Guang's troops.

But Yao Guang was obviously more familiar with the terrain in the Yinping area than Xiao Chengzhi. He gathered and set up camp as soon as he arrived at a dangerous place. Not only did he not give Xiao Chengzhi a chance to counterattack, but he also consumed a lot of Xiao Chengzhi's military rations. Therefore, Xiao Chengzhi wanted to scold his mother.

"Really like a dog!"

Xiao Chengzhi was both disgusted and admired by the opponent's perseverance. Seeing Yao Guang catching up again, he asked his soldiers to finish their meal and set off quickly.

"General Xiao, further south is the Yinping Trail!"

Continuing south, you will reach Jiangyou where Deng Ai arrived after sneaking into Yinping.

Once he arrived at Jiangyou, Xiao Chengzhi could naturally easily resist Yao Guang with Jiangyou's military strength and baggage.

"Everyone, just hold on a little longer! When we get to Jiangyou, the crisis will naturally be resolved!"

Xiao Chengzhi comforted the soldiers in this way, but he knew in his heart that he should not be careless in the future.

Historical records record how Deng Ai sneaked into Yinping and went like this.

"Ai traveled from Yinping Road to uninhabited land for more than 700 miles, carving mountain passages and building bridges and pavilions. The mountains were high and the valleys were deep, making it extremely difficult and dangerous, and food transportation was about to be scarce, so it was often in danger. Ai was wrapped in felt and rolled down.

.The soldiers all climbed up the wooden edge of the cliff and filed in."

This road of more than 700 miles has almost no footing. Deng Ai even wrapped himself and his soldiers in blankets and rolled down the cliff. Such dangers are so dangerous that just reading the text makes people scared.

Now Xiao Chengzhi is facing a more dangerous situation than Deng Ai. After all, he is followed by Yao Guang, who is too big to get rid of. This means that Xiao Chengzhi has an extremely low error tolerance rate in every step of his command. He must pass this trail as quickly and correctly as possible.

.

For this reason, Xiao Chengzhi deliberately set up an altar to pray for good luck to his soldiers when entering the trail.

"General, do you believe in God?"

"Don't believe it."

"Then why worship God?"

Xiao Chengzhi didn't answer. He waited until the soldiers had finished offering sacrifices to the mountain god here before patting the person who asked the question on the shoulder.

“First there were humans in heaven and earth, and then there were gods.”

"Right now, these soldiers are not worshiping gods, but people who are passing by here one after another."

"I have been in charge of Shu for nearly ten years. I have seen the people of Shu worship Li Bing and his son as Guankou Erlang, and I have also seen them build golden statues and build temples for Zhuge Wuhou, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty."

"Don't these people know that Li Bing, his son, and Zhuge Wuhou are not gods, but mortals?"

Xiao Chengzhi pointed to the road at his feet again: "Deng Ai set out from here, successfully crossed the mountain road, captured Chengdu, destroyed the Shu Han, and achieved a great victory. Today we will follow the stories of our ancestors, and naturally we hope to win the battle."

"But general, aren't we retreating to Shu now? How can we say that we have won an instant victory?"

Xiao Chengzhi smiled boldly: "That's not necessarily the case!"

"The mountain god of Shu has always been very unpredictable! Our army may not be able to turn danger into good fortune during this trip!"

Helian Ding, who attacked Qiuchi in the name of Helian Bobo, also marched quickly to Qiuchi.

To Helianding's expectation, what greeted him was not the joint resistance of Liu Song and Qiu Chi, but the courtesy of Yang Nandang, the leader of Qiu Chi.

"The guilty minister Yang Nanda should pay homage to the prince!"

After Yang Nandang's plan to sneak across the Han River and seize the Dingjun River and even Hanzhong failed, he was very decisive and immediately transferred his troops back to Qiuchi to defeat Xiao Chengzhi's troops.

The problem is that Xiao Chengzhi ran away...

This gift left for Helianding ran away...

If Hanzhong was not captured, the capital to negotiate with Hu Xia would be lost.

Xiao Chengzhi lost the benefit of feeding Hu Xia before he reached Helian Ding's lips.

Now Yang Nandang had to find a way to stabilize Helianding first to prevent this hungry wolf from swallowing him and Qiu Chi inadvertently.

For this reason, Yang Nandang came to Helianding's military camp alone to show his sincerity to Hu Xia.

Helian Ding was a little surprised when he saw Yang Nan.

"Yang Nandang, you united with the Southerners to attack and kill my brother, and now you still have the guts to come in front of me?"

Yang Nandang quickly shook his head: "The prince misunderstood me."

"The situation cannot be explained clearly in a few words. But I can guarantee that my loyalty to your country can be seen from the sun and the moon!"

Seeing the sneer on He Lianding's face, Yang Nandang had no choice but to pull out his trump card.

"To be honest, I led my troops to attack Hanzhong, which belonged to Liu Song, a few days ago!"

Hanzhong?

Helian Ding's ears twitched slightly, thinking of Helian Bobo's promise to him that "if Hanzhong is captured, he will make himself the crown prince", and he became interested in Yang Nandang's words.

"Although I was blocked by the Song army on the banks of the Han River, I would like to ask, if the Hanzhong garrison is really abundant, then why did the Hanzhong garrison set up defenses on the Han River?"

The Hanzhong garrison does not need to be large. As long as Yangping Pass and Dingjun Mountain are occupied, even a hundred thousand troops will not be able to invade the Hanzhong Plain.

Although Yuan Huzhi intercepted Yang Nandang at the Han River, Yang Nandang became convinced that Hanzhong's defense was empty, forcing Yuan Huzhi to come to the Han River to set up defenses.

Now, Yang Nandang just wanted to make Helianding believe that the fat meat of Hanzhong was worth more than his own bones.

As a nomad, he obviously knew better how a qualified hunter would select prey. For this reason, he tried his best to remove Helianding's eyes from him.

But obviously.

Helianding was not a fool.

In other words, he is not a fool in the popular sense.

He inherited Helianbobo's bloodthirsty character, and his bloodthirsty often meant that his methods of solving problems were extremely simple and efficient.

"Yang Nandang, don't change the subject!"

"I am the master of questioning, whether Hanzhong is easy to fight or not is none of your business or mine!"

Only the father and son knew Helian Bobo's promise to Helian Ding, so Helian Ding was not afraid that Yang Nandang would use Hanzhong to seduce or threaten him.

For Helianding, he wanted Hanzhong.

Qiu Chi, he wants it too!

Helian Ding's unreasonable behavior made Yang Nandang feel a little uncomfortable.

Unlike facing Xiao Chengzhi, a "civilized man", Heliandin's primitive and barbaric ways made it difficult for Yang Nandang to spit out a series of manuscripts.

have no choice.

Yang Nandang quietly said to Helianding: "Prince, does he know where the prince of your country is?"

Helian Ding frowned slightly, obviously a little bored with the existence of his brother Helian Huang.

"To be honest, He Lianjuan was captured by Xiao Chengzhi and planned to be sent to Guanzhong. Now Helianjuan is probably staying in Hanzhong."

Yang Nandang added: "If the prince can capture Hanzhong now and save the prince, I think the Chanyu will reward the prince heavily!"

These words made Helianding's brows tighten even more.

Save He Lianjuan?

hehe!

It is true that he had an appointment with Helian Bobo.

But now Hu Xia's crown prince is still He Lianjuan after all.

As long as He Lianhuan is alive, can the position of crown prince really fall into his hands?

He Lian Ding knew clearly that there were actually quite a few forces belonging to He Lian Huang in the Hu Xia Kingdom. If these forces opposed He Lian Bobo's appointment of himself as crown prince and supported He Lian Huang, who could guarantee that He Lian Bobo would not give in to the pressure?

Break your promise?

For Helianding, Helianhuan would always be a threat to him if he was alive.

But if he died...

The more Helianding thought about it, the more excited he became.

Now in his eyes, Hanzhong is not only a glorious agreement, but also a step that can help him completely ascend to the position of prince.

Helian Ding looked at Yang Nan again and his eyes looked different.

For him, "Helian Guang is in Hanzhong" was more powerful in stimulating his desire to attack Hanzhong than the information that "Hanzhong's military strength was empty".

But because of this, Helian Ding became increasingly wary of Yang Nand becoming the leader of this small country.

"This man has a deep mind and is quite cunning. Is it possible that my elder brother was deceived by him and captured by the Song Army like this?"

Helianding asked: "Where is the defense map of Hanzhong?"
