"Zhang Lu's people should have seen you, why don't you let Ming follow you first?" Song Chenxin said, what are you causing trouble? I am worried about Mr.'s disciples. It seems that he is leading the army alone. He has to use his eyes.

Record everything so that you can tell it to Lan Tian personally after returning to Jiaozhou.

"Don't worry, General Song. I'll climb up the mountain with them to look out for the wind. Zhang Lu's people won't be able to find him." Pang De listened to Song Chen praising Mr. Xuan Owl for several days. When he saw his disciple using troops, he couldn't help but watch.

Song Chen saw that he couldn't stop Pang De, so he just led the horse in the direction of Deng Ai.

When Deng Ai saw the two generals leaving and returning, he clasped his fists and asked curiously: "Do the two generals have any other instructions?"

"Shizai is leading an army independently for the first time. I have been ordered by Sir to hold the battle for you." Song Chen was afraid that Deng Ai would not agree, so he carried him out of Lantian directly.

Pang De was very shocked after hearing this. He knew that Song Chen was definitely lying, because he would have told Lan Tian's order just now, instead of waiting until he returned.

After all, this child was still young, so he was deceived by the shrewd Song Chen so easily.

"It shouldn't be convenient for General Pang to stay here, right? If Zhang Lu's people discover you, it may affect your master's plans." Deng Ai hesitated.

"General Song and I are going to watch the wind above. Young General, you don't have to worry about us." Pang De pointed to the upper left with a smile on his face.

"Okay." Deng Ai saw that the ship was in ruins and it was difficult to stop it, so he led a group of soldiers to deploy forward.

Pang De and Song Chen climbed up to the hiding spot on the slope. There were only a dozen soldiers carrying flags there. After asking, they found out that they were soldiers of Zitong Huo Jun.

Because Zitong County had too few cavalry, Huo Jun only allocated a hundred cavalry to let Deng Ai go first, while he led 2,000 infantry to come here.

Pang De was reassured after hearing this. If he could hold out until the two thousand infantry arrived, he would not be afraid of the hundreds of cavalry sent by Zhang Lu.

"You don't seem to be carrying crossbows. How did General Deng attract the enemy's attack? Are you picking up stones and throwing them on the mountain? I don't think there are many stones around here..." Pang De was very curious.

The leader of the team explained: "General Deng asked us to be suspects. When we hear the order from the mountain, everyone can stand up and wave the flag and shout."

They were overgrown with weeds on the slope where they were hiding. Looking at the road down the mountain, there was no one there. Pound didn't know how Deng Ai ordered the suspected soldiers. He wondered if he would just lead those dozens of people to retreat?

Although he is a young man with a strong temper, he is still a disciple of Mr. Xuan Owl, so he shouldn't be so reckless.

"General Song, I see that Deng Shizai's face is still childish, and he doesn't look like someone who has been crowned. Do you know how old he is now?" Pang De asked.

Song Chen thought for a moment, then counted his fingers, and then said: "I seem to remember that he was born in the second year of Jian'an, and he should be under eighteen years old now..."

"It's true that a hero comes from a boy..."

Pang De lamented that the world had become too complicated, and another man who went to war in his teens was similar to his old master Ma Chao, wasn't he?

"Where did General Deng go? Why didn't he come back for a long time?" Song Chen asked Huotou worriedly when he saw Deng Ai had been gone for a while.

The fire head shook his head after hearing this, "General Deng just asked us to follow orders. I really don't know what he is doing at the foot of the mountain."

At this time, there was a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats, and Deng Ai led dozens of horsemen to appear in sight, but they were at a certain distance from the hiding spot of the suspected soldiers.

Because the distance was relatively far, Pang De considered shooting arrows and throwing stones would be completely out of reach.

Yang Ren had been chasing before and after the Golden Bull Road for less than a day. Based on his experience, if Pound had really taken this road, he should have caught up to at least part of it. However, only the frightened birds in the mountain stream and the cold wind howling in the valley kept him from running for a long time.

The horse's face was numb from the cold.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, there are still snowflakes in Bashan from time to time. Under such harsh temperature conditions, the cavalry marching quickly is easily exposed to wind and cold.

Suddenly, the scouts who opened the road ahead came to report that there were many rocks on the road more than ten feet ahead. There was no problem in passing, but it would slow down the speed.

Stones often fell in Bashan Mountain. Yang Ren did not suspect that the enemy did this deliberately. He immediately asked the cavalry behind him to control the horse to slow down and slowly pass through the dozens of feet of rocky road. He planned to clean it up when he returned.

Yang Ren frowned when he was in the scene. This was obviously a man-made formation of rocks. He wondered if Pound was really in front of him?

Yang Ren led his army carefully through the stone formation. When they passed a corner of the mountain, a cavalry team of a hundred people came into view. This was not the Pang Rou and Pang De in his mind.

"Who dares to attack Yizhou?" Deng Ai pointed a gun at Yang Ren and shouted.

Yang Ren saw that Deng Ai was fully dressed and his face was dark and shiny, but the greenness and childishness between his brows could not be eradicated. He held the reins and smiled and said: "Are you the young general under Huo Prefect's tent? How did you get lost and end up here?"

Are you here? This place is close to Yangping Pass and is the boundary of Hanzhong. Why don’t we return to Jiameng Pass quickly, lest we lose our lives."

"Hanzhong is also the county seat of Yizhou. Since you claim to be Hanzhong generals, how dare you show off your power in front of me? I am a lieutenant under General Zuo. Why don't you go back to Yangping Pass to defend? Sooner or later, my lord will come to seize Hanzhong.

"Deng Ai's momentum is not weak at all.

Yang Ren was about to speak when the general beside him reminded: "General, after chasing for seventy or eighty miles, I didn't see Pang De. Instead, I met Liu Bei's scouts. They should have ran towards Chencang Road. Why don't we retreat with our troops?"

"Hmph, I have to get some luck if I want to go back. This yellow-mouthed boy is so arrogant, I will capture him and offer him to the lord." Yang Ren replied coldly.

"What are you muttering about?" Deng Ai shouted.

"It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and his tone is not small at such a young age? Do you dare to tell me your name and challenge me to fight?" Yang Ren asked proudly.

"Nanyang Deng Ai, come and die quickly." After Deng Ai said this, he patted his horse and stepped forward with his gun.

Seeing this, Yang Ren raised his sword to fight Deng Ai. When the sword and gun were fighting, he realized that this young man had some skills. The two fought back and forth for more than ten times without deciding the outcome.

It was Deng Ai's first time to participate in the battle of generals. At first he seemed a bit awkward due to lack of experience, but after a few rounds he became proficient. Yang Ren wielded the snowflake sword and showed off his skills, becoming more and more frightened.

It is said that boxing is afraid of young people, but it is youth versus old age. Yang Ren, a man in his physical prime, actually fell at a disadvantage in a fight with a child. After a few moves, he had other thoughts.

Pang De and Song Chen were watching the battle on the hillside and noticed that Deng Ai's marksmanship was becoming more and more proficient, so they couldn't help but ask: "General Deng's marksmanship is good. Is this really his first time fighting against generals? He has gradually taken the initiative. What's the point?"

Yang Ren will definitely be defeated if he has ten."

Song Chen nodded, "Before Deng Shizai entered Shu, he always accompanied Mr. Deng. After entering Shu, he only farmed in Zitong. This must be his first battle."

"This young man can be of great use." Pound sighed.
