"In this case, I suggest surrounding the point and calling for reinforcements." After hearing Wendu's two plans, Yan Fu gave his opinion without thinking. "There are at least 60,000 people there, plus the steepness of each pass.

, if we attack by force, with all due respect, we may not be able to defeat it."

"Then do you have any good way to get Zhang Lu to send troops?"

"To tell you the truth, Zhang Lu is stupid and ignorant. It's easy to deceive him." Yan Fu briefly judged his former master, then put his mouth next to Wen Du's ear and chirped...

In response to Yan Fu's words, the smile on Wen Du's face became bigger and bigger. "Okay, then I'll trouble you, brother!"

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Yan Fu saluted Wen Du, turned around and walked straight back into the house. He picked up a brush and wrote on the bamboo slips while thinking about it. After a few seconds, he wrote a document and wrote it.

After giving it to Wen Du for inspection, he immediately sent someone to Nanzheng to give it to Zhang Lu.

After two days of running with the simple letter, the messenger finally came to Zhang Lu on the morning of the third day and handed over the letter...

"What...what should I do?" After reading the content, Zhang Lu's lips began to tremble as he spoke. He looked like a headless fly in a panic, pacing back and forth.

"Lord, what do you want with me?"

When he saw Yang Song coming over, Zhang Lu hurriedly ran towards him, but accidentally stepped on the sole of his foot, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

But now he didn't care about the humiliation at all. He grabbed Yang Song's arms and shook them back and forth: "The enemy attacked Ziwu Pass fiercely. Zhang Wei was seriously injured. The pass was about to be lost. Yan Fu requested that Yang Ren lead troops to rescue him. What should I do?

What should I do?! What should I do now?!"

"Lord, calm down! Calm down! Let me think about it!" Yang Song, who was almost confused, grabbed his arm, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and after quickly adjusting, he asked back: "Yan Fu really said that.

of?"

"It's absolutely true! Why did I lie to you about something written in black and white on paper!" Zhang Lu held up the bamboo slip in front of Yang Song. The meaning was very obvious. If you don't believe it, just see for yourself.

Yang Song stretched out his hand to block the bamboo slips, walked around twice slowly, and then said to Zhang Lu: "My lord, I suggest that you send troops to reinforce, and not only Yang Ren, but also my brother Yang Bai should be sent there.

There are 10,000 garrison troops in Nanzheng, I suggest that we also send them there."

"What?" After hearing the suggestion, Zhang Lu looked at Yang Song with wide eyes and asked, "This is my last defense force. How can it be easily mobilized?"

"My lord, listen to me. This is why it should be used. My lord, please think about it. If Ziwu Pass is broken, then there will be nothing to defend. The enemy can march all the way to Huanglong. By that time, my lord, even if there are 10,000 defenders, it will be useful."

What's the use? However, the passes on Zhushan are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The enemy's strength is only 70,000. The remaining 30,000 are enough to cope with it. Therefore, I suggest that the lord send Yang Ren and General Yang Bai to rush there immediately with 35,000 men.

At Ziwu Pass, one more moment of hesitation means more danger, so my lord, please give the order quickly!"

"...

…”

Zhang Lu, who had been struggling for a long time, finally believed Yang Song's words and immediately called the messenger and handed him his military talisman. "Go to Shangyong quickly and transfer Yang Ren. Yang Bai led half of the defenders there.

Ziwu Pass, tell them that after the two of them succeed, I will definitely reward them heavily!"

"No!" Corroded by the tense atmosphere, the messenger's footsteps were much faster than before.

...After dealing with Zhang Lu, Yang Song ran back to his house without stopping, took out the letter written before the war started from the box, then called his servant, and told him to hand it over to his younger brother Yang Bai.

superior.

Everyone held their own thoughts, the soldiers' symbols arrived, the army moved, and they marched day and night. Yang Renjun did not dare to wait and rushed to the front of Ziwu Pass. He met Yan Fu face to face. After confirming that the pass was still in his hands, Yang Ren gave up a little.

He was alert and led the army in...

"Master Yan, how is the war situation now?"

"Eh." In response to Yang Ren's inquiry, Yan Fu shook his head sadly and explained: "It's not optimistic. The enemy attacked like crazy. Our army suffered heavy losses. Unfortunately, General Zhang Wei was hit by an arrow and is still seriously injured in bed...

"

"Where is the general now? Can we meet him?"

"Of course, the two generals are coming with me." In response to the request, Yan Fu walked half a step ahead and led the two of them towards the "ward"...

"It's right here." Yan Fu opened the door and invited the two of them in.

When they walked inside, Yang Ren and Yang Bai, who had planned to kneel down and salute, were dumbfounded, because the person who appeared in front of them was not the injured Zhang Wei at all, but Wen Du, whom they had never met before.

Yang Ren, who reacted the fastest, immediately drew out his sword, pointed it at Wen Du and shouted, "Who are you?! How dare you break in here!"

"Don't move!" Before Wen Du could reply, Tai Shici and Huang Zhong, who were hiding behind the curtain, rushed out quickly and put their swords on the necks of Yang Ren and Yang Bai. "Put down your weapons if you don't want to die.

"

"Bofu, Youping, Gongming, Wengui, I will leave the army outside to you."

Following Wen Du's order, the four people next to him nodded in unison and walked out of the door one after another.

"Who are you?" Even though his life was threatened, Yang Ren still did not put down his weapon and still asked his question calmly.

"My name is Wen Du, I think I'm the boss of this army."

"Your presence here means that Yan Fu has surrendered and Ziwu Pass has been lost, right?"

"Smart, a talent like you deserves the title of general." Wen Du raised his thumb. He quite admired Yang Ren. After all, he was a master who could fight Xia Houyuan for thirty rounds without falling behind.

Just when Yang Ren was extremely upset, he suddenly heard a crisp sound next to him. Looking around, he saw Yang Bai taking off his sword and kneeling directly on the ground.

"The last general Yang Bai is willing to surrender, general!"

Yang Ren, who never expected that the other party would not hesitate, directly cursed: "Yang Bai, you beast!"

Not caring about Yang Ren's insults, Yang Bai acted like a villain and took out a letter from his arms and dedicated it to Wen Du. "General, this is what my elder brother Yang Song asked me to deliver to you. He said that as long as the general is willing, he will

You can open the door from inside Nanzheng and let the general’s tiger and wolf army enter the city!”

After listening to Yang Bai's elaboration, he lowered his head and read the contents of the letter, and was delighted. "Do you, the Yang family, want to surrender as a whole family?"

"Of course! My brother is the current head of the family, and his words represent the entire family."

"Hoo~ That's interesting..." Faced with this sudden courtesy, Wen Du was really flattered. "Well, you get up first."

"Thank you, General!" After finishing one of the tasks smoothly, Wen Du turned his attention to Yang Ren. "How about you follow me? I promise I won't treat you badly."

"Hmph." Yang Ren glanced at Yang Bai, then closed his eyes and mocked, "I have no interest in serving the same master as a coward seeking glory from his seller."

"You're a bitch!" Yang Bai, who was insulted, cursed, turned to Wen Du and begged: "General, this guy is just like that. Keeping him here is a scourge. It's better to kill him as soon as possible to avoid future troubles!"

"Hmm..." Wen Du nodded in agreement, but turned to him and said, "By the way, go out and say hello now, don't let my people kill all your subordinates.

When the time comes, neither you nor I will look good on our faces."

"Ah, yes, yes! I will go to my humble position!"

After getting rid of the annoying flies, Wen Du stood up and moved the long sword on Yang Ren's neck. "Would you like to stay for now? After we get to Hanzhong, we will see what I do and then decide whether to go or not."

Keep?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Keep it secret for now. You will understand it yourself in a few days. Will you consider my suggestion?"

"..." Staring at the boy in front of him who was younger than himself, Yang Ren asked suspiciously: "What if I decide to leave?"

"Then I am willing to provide you with a thousand taels of gold and silver and a war horse to send you out of the customs."

"Aren't you afraid that I will go back and report the news?"

"Now that Zhang Lu is over, even if he knows the current situation, he can't change anything!"

Feeling the confidence exuding from Wen Du's whole body, Yang Ren snorted, lowered his head, and said rather unwillingly: "Then let me see what you are planning to do..."

"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed!"

After confirming Yang Ren's willingness to stay temporarily, Wen Du did not treat him like a prisoner of war. Instead, he was assigned to the rank of general and served with delicious food and drinks. The treatment was even comparable to that of a person who surrendered directly.

Yang Bai, that guy is still a little sulky...

However, he was angry because he was angry. Since he had jumped back, he needed to seize the opportunity to make contributions and establish himself under the new boss, so Yang Bai took the initiative to return to Nanzheng and meet Zhang Lu.

"How is the situation at Ziwu Pass?!"

"My lord, I happened to encounter a strong enemy attack when I led my army, so I led my army to attack directly and caught them by surprise. The enemy suffered heavy losses and has now retreated to a place a hundred miles away from the pass.

"

"Okay! Okay!" Zhang Lu laughed, summoned the attendants around him, and whispered a few words in his ear.

After receiving the order, the attendant ran out quickly and came back after a while, holding twenty gold horseshoes in his hand.

"Yang Bai, you have done a great job in this battle. This is my reward for you, accept it."

"Hi!" Yang Bai hurriedly took the board and kowtowed to Zhang Lu incoherently to express his gratitude.

"You all go back and do your own things. I have been very tired these past few days and I want to take a good rest."

"General/I take my leave." Facing Zhang Lu's back, the two brothers Yang Song and Yang Bai bowed briefly and slowly withdrew...

Just after they walked out of Zhang Lu's mansion, the two of them had evil smiles on their faces...
