Zhang Diwan was already waiting at the entrance of Suoqiao Cave. He received news last night and came here to greet him early in the morning. Fang Zi'an and others were very fast, but they did not arrive until the afternoon, so Zhang Diwan was very anxious.

Finally, he saw Fang Zi'an Shihao and others reach the side of the suspension bridge. Zhang Diwan took two steps to the bridge and laughed loudly: "Brother-in-law, you have fallen down and I almost flew out my eyes. Hahaha, after going around, we're meeting again."

Fang Zian smiled and said, "Yes, where is there no meeting in life? Just two months later, I'm upset again."

Zhang Diwan reached out and put his hand on Fang Zi'an's shoulder and said, "What are you talking about or not? You're saying those things that are strange. Just by walking around, just waiting for you to come, asking about some situations and discussing some things."

Fang Zian smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Shi hasn't gotten off the bus yet, and the commander doesn't go to see him."

Zhang Diwan slapped his forehead and smiled, "Yes, yes, I actually forgot."

This was even more hurtful than not going to see him. He didn't have the person Shi Hao in his eyes. Zhang Ruomei looked at Zhang Diwan with a grudge and blamed him for saying the wrong thing. Shi Hao, who was lifting the curtain, smiled and said, "Master Zhang, don't care about me, Zi'an, just go with the leader. The enemy is in front of you, you should have many things to discuss."

Zhang Diwan bowed and smiled and said, "Mr. Shi, you always follow the team slowly. Zi'an and I will take a step forward. I will take Zi'an to see our defense arrangements and arrangements. When the Jin soldiers are speaking, they will be neglected. Don't be surprised. I am a rough man, and sometimes the etiquette is not thoughtful. By the way, my sister, you should take good care of Master Shi for me."

Shi Hao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about me, there are so many of us. Go, go."

After hearing this, Zhang Diwan pulled Fang Zi'an and left. Fang Zi'an turned around and said, "Sir, I'll take the lead and report to you later."

Fang Zian still respects Shi Hao. Shi Hao himself actually understood that he could not get involved in these things. He had already figured it out that Fang Zian's ability was much greater than that of him and he didn't need to interfere at all.

Zhang Diwan and Fang Zi'an took the lead on the cable bridge and walked to the other side. Zhao Gang and Lei Hu and others wanted to command the carriage and horse to cross the cable bridge. That was a troublesome, so they didn't follow him. Only Shen Ling'er followed closely behind him.

Zhang Diwan had already discovered that there was an extra woman, so he was not easy to ask, so he glanced at Shen Ling'er with his eyes. Fang Zi'an took the initiative to introduce: "This one is Miss Shen, who came to Jinguo from Lin'an to help me."

Zhang Diwan said oh and whispered: "Your concubine? Do Ruomei know?"

Fang Zian smiled and said, "Both of her know each other."

Zhang Diwan raised his finger and whispered: "Good skills, I can tell my girl not to make noise or make trouble. I admire her."

Fang Zian smiled, not wanting to talk about these meaningless topics, stood on the suspension bridge and looked around and asked, "The commander should know the news of the Jin soldiers' attack. Tell me how you plan to defend the enemy?"

Zhang Diwan smiled and pointed at the ditches under the suspension bridge and the cliffs in front of him, saying, "You still need to ask? God has built this terrain. What are we going to worry about? The Jin soldiers are coming to attack my camp? I can't ask for anything. Can they attack? There are cliffs around my camp. Do they fly over with wings?"

Fang Zi'an nodded and said, "Indeed, this place is very dangerous and there are no extraordinary means. It is definitely a sigh. However, you are planning to stay here, and you are still

Are you guarding Wuma Mountain? I heard from Wei Dongsheng at the Wuma Mountain Pass that you must guard Wuma Mountain Pass, right?"

Zhang Diwan nodded and said, "Yes, you know everything. Wei Dongsheng's mouth is so fast. But it's nothing. He is going to tell you what to do. This time, the Golden Dog is brave enough to come to the door. My loyal and righteous Eight Characters Army will naturally fight a turnaround. They will definitely be called for no return."

Fang Zian said in a deep voice: "So, are you really planning to guard both Wuma Mountain and Fenglong Mountain?"

Zhang Diwan said, "Of course, we were the ones in Taihang Mountains, and the Jin soldiers around us dared not step into a half step. This time, because the Jin soldiers attacked a large number of times, I ordered all the soldiers and horses from all the mountain passes to withdraw and wait for them to come. Now we only guard the two camps of Wuma Mountain and Fenglong Mountain. We wouldn't even not guard the Wuma Mountain Pass. That wouldn't be done."

Fang Zian thought for a while and said, "Brother, it's not that I'm talking too much. I don't think I can keep the Wumashan Pass."

Zhang Diwan was stunned and said, "How do you say this?"

Fang Zi'an said: "This time, the Jin army is numerous and has complete equipment. It is obvious that they want to eat the Zhongyi Army. Not to mention anything else, the heavy siege vehicles and whirlwind cannons they equipped with are all powerful siege weapons. The terrain of Wumaguan is indeed good, but the valley in front of the pass is wide and flat, which is conducive to their army setting up a good position to attack the city. Moreover, you can't put many soldiers at Wumaguan. I guess it's amazing that it can accommodate up to 1,500 Zhongyi Army defenders. That's impossible to defend at all. Wumaguan must be broken, so why waste food and supplies to ruin the lives of the soldiers? It's better to completely shrink and hold on to it. It's already great that all the soldiers can defend the Fenglongshan Camp. I haven't asked you if the food and supplies are enough to stick here."

Zhang Diwan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Fang Zi'an and said, "Brother-in-law, don't be exaggerated. You said the Jin soldiers so powerfully and you are so pessimistic. This is wrong. Isn't this ambition to others and destroy your own might? My loyal army is now full of emotions and fighting spirit, and they are all holding back their energy to have a good fight with Jindo. According to your opinion, we will definitely lose this battle?"

Fang Zian smiled bitterly and said, "I don't mean that. What I mean is that the Jin soldiers are powerful..."

Zhang Diwan waved his hand and interrupted him, "Brother-in-law, don't joke. How powerful can the Jin soldiers be? I, Zhang Diwan, have never seen them. Besides, you have only used more than 400 people to block the Jin soldiers tightly in the West Mountain. I heard that there were as many as 4,000 people who had killed and fled. They could not even beat you hundreds of people. How powerful are they?"

Fang Zian smacked his lips and said, "Brother, that's a battle under special circumstances. First, they didn't expect anyone to intercept them, so they suffered a big loss. Second, they didn't know that we had a firearm, thunderball, so we hit the second attack back. The terrain there was very narrow, and the secret passage was only two or three meters wide, and it was useless to have many people. Later, they dispatched strong archers and whirlwind cannons to bombard us. Although we were prepared, dozens of brothers were killed and injured. That thing was really powerful, and the siege was definitely more fierce. When it hit the empty ground, the power was reduced. It was precisely because I experienced all this that I told you this. Are you still worried that you would suffer a loss?"

Zhang Diwan pondered and said, "Brother-in-law, don't worry about this matter. This is the result of discussion between our Zhongyi Army. If we give up the Wumashan Pass and lose in terms of momentum, how can we fight against the Golden Dog? My Zhongyi Eight Characters Army will never be afraid of the Jin soldiers' whirlwind cannons or siege equipment.

, We have the confidence to defeat them. I remember that my father often told us back then that equipment and materials are not the most important conditions for victory. The three armies should not take away their ambitions, and the soldiers should not take away their ambitions. I dare not say outside that in the mountains, we have the right time, place, people and all three are occupied, and there is no possibility of losing. At most, I will put more people in Wuma Pass to prepare. If the guard is tight, I can provide reinforcements at any time."

Fang Zi'an looked at Zhang Diwan with a wry smile and said, "Brother, why don't you let more troops? I want you to withdraw from the defense of the camp, but you will increase your manpower. Isn't my words backfire? Think about it again, I didn't have to force you. My intention is actually to defeat the Jin soldiers and let the Zhongyi Army suffer less casualties. Look, those big trucks are full of food. When we rushed out of Yanjing, no matter how difficult it was, we didn't lose these foods along the way. Because I know what you lack the most now is food."

Zhang Diwan laughed and patted Fang Zi'an's shoulder and said, "Good brother-in-law, you are a timely help. I'm worried about the shortage of food and grass. If I'm trapped here and can't go out to get food, it's really troublesome. Are there more than a dozen cars? Even if it's a few thousand pounds, it's enough to eat for a while. After you left in the past two months, we got some food and some prey and saved a lot. At least two months, don't worry about not having food. This is the real help to me. I'm better than you in the war. Of course, you are also very powerful, hahaha, hundreds of people block tens of thousands of golden soldiers, and the golden dog is becoming less and less powerful. Hahaha."

Zhang Diwan's words revealed a lot of confidence. Although he did not refuse the idea proposed by Fang Zi'an, he actually had no intention of considering it at all. Perhaps in his opinion, his ability is not bad than Fang Zi'an. Fang Zi'an blocked the enemy with hundreds of people, and he had thousands of people. How could he be defeated? Besides, Zhang Diwan had fought with the Jin people before, but he had never cared about anything like whirlwind cannons. He rode a horse and rushed, and did his face to face with real swords and guns. Zhang Diwan didn't have a deep impression of those equipment, nor did he witness the power of those things. So he didn't believe what Fang Zi'an said at all.

Fang Zi'an sighed, knowing that he should not continue to talk about it. If he talks about this matter forcibly, it would be more and more serious. What Fang Zi'an didn't want the least was that Zhang Diwan thought he wanted to replace him, and Zhang Diwan had a strong desire to control the Zhongyi Army. This was seen last time. Zhang Diwan seemed to be shouting at him. The more he wanted to persuade him, the more he would be counterproductive. It would be better to let him think clearly.

Of course, Fang Zian was not 100% sure that the Wumashan Pass would not be able to defend it. He just estimated the results from the situation he witnessed. Moreover, Fang Zian felt that the Jin soldiers must have hidden something and didn't take it out, and he felt vaguely worried.

"Brother-in-law, I'll take you to see the supplies we stored in the cave. By the way, you haven't told me how you escaped from Yanjing. Has the big thing you are going to do successful? Is there any evidence that the old thief Qin Hui surrendered to the enemy?" Zhang Diwan didn't want to bother with this topic, so he said with a smile.

Fang Zi'an pondered for a moment, and Zhang Diwan comforted: "It's okay if you don't succeed. It's great that you can come back alive. You have to lose nothing, otherwise, my sister will eat me. You don't know that after you left, she had a big fight with me. What is this?"

Zhang Diwan's words were interrupted by a letter that Fang Zi'an took out and handed to him.

"I got the letter of loyalty written by Qin Hui when he surrendered to the enemy." Fang Zi'an said lightly.
