While Fusu was busy dealing with the Mauryan Dynasty envoy, Fan Zeng had already arrived at Muling Pass under the escort of two thousand tiger troops. Although he was attacked sporadically by many grass bandits and thieves along the way, these
The invasion was defeated by the majestic battle force of two thousand tiger soldiers.
When the generals guarding the pass saw two thousand Tiger and Ben troops appearing at the pass, they were very nervous for a moment. The general guarding the gate on duty did not dare to show any signs of neglect. As soon as he saw the appearance of the Tiger troops, he sent
I went to Zhang Han to report it.
When Zhang Han arrived at the Guan Tower, Fan Zeng was only a hundred steps away from the Guan Tower. It can be seen that the news of the appearance of the Huben Army really shocked Zhang Han.
Looking at the neatly arranged and mighty two thousand Tiger and Ben troops below the Guan Tower, Zhang Han had a look of amazement on his face.
"Have you ever found out who the soldiers at Guanxia are?" Zhang Han asked the general guarding Guanxia who was on duty next to him.
"General, I have found out clearly that the officers and men under the pass are the Tiger and Ben troops of the Qin Dynasty. General, please look at their large banners, which are used by the Qin army." The general replied, pointing to the banners used by the front troops of the Huben army.
In fact, Zhang Han had already seen the banner of the Hu Ben Army in Guanxia, and speculated that the soldiers under the city were Qin troops, but he was not sure for a while. After listening to the report from the general, Zhang Han confirmed his speculation just now.
After confirming that the soldiers under the city were the Tiger Guards of the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Han took the lead and walked towards the wall of the pass, preparing to personally negotiate with the Qin army under the pass.
Seeing that Zhang Han had already walked to the wall, the general on duty had no choice but to lead several followers and follow him to the wall.
"Tell them that I, Zhang Han, have arrived at the Guan Tower and ask their general to come out and respond." Zhang Han ordered the general beside him.
Looking at the old man on the horse, Zhang Han's face was instantly full of doubts. Judging from the majestic formation of the Tiger and Ben army in Guanxia, even if the leader is not a good general, he must be a young and powerful man. But now he is not in the army.
It was a bit unbelievable to see an old man walking out. Not only Zhang Han looked confused, but also the generals and guards standing next to Zhang Han were shocked by the situation of being locked downstairs. Everyone spoke one after another.
started to discuss.
"I am very confused about my humble position. Take a look at the old man leading the army. He is not wearing any armor and is still wearing a plain shirt. He is the commander-in-chief of the army. Is he clearly an old Confucian?"
"General, I have heard that the Great Qin Tigers are unstoppable. Why do you let this dying old man come to claim it? I really don't understand why he is so humble."
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed when they heard this, but Zhang Han did not laugh along with everyone, but looked at the old man downstairs with a serious face.
After confirming the news that Zhang Han was in the Guan Tower, Fan Zeng, protected by several guards, rode out of the Huben military formation, came to a few feet in front of the Huben military formation, and then stopped.
After receiving the order, General Xiao did not dare to neglect, and shouted to the Huben army below through the gap in the wall: "The Qin army at the pass, listen, my general Zhang Han has arrived at the pass. Please ask those of you who are in charge to come out and respond.
.”
Before everyone could finish laughing, the old man in the city spoke first:
"General Zhang Han, I am Fan Zeng, the young master's staff. I have been entrusted by the young master to come here to relieve the general's worries. As for the sergeants behind the old man, the general does not need to worry. They are our Great Qin Tiger Guard Army. They are here only for
Escorting the old man will never hinder the defense of Muling Pass."
Hearing that the person under the pass was Fan Zeng, Zhang Han became even more nervous. He thought that Fan Zeng was the great talent Fusu named to recruit. Since he came under Fusu's command, Fan Zeng has become even more outstanding, and has contributed to Fusu's southern and northern campaigns.
He has many good plans and can be said to be a rare capable person under Fusu's command. Now that Fusu has sent this person and two thousand tiger soldiers, how can Zhang Han not be nervous!
Although Zhang Han was very nervous at this time, he still pretended to be calm and continued to negotiate with Fan Zeng who was downstairs: "It turns out to be Mr. Fan Zeng, Zhang Han is here to see me, but just now I heard that he was here to relieve Zhang Han's worries.
Zhang Han is very puzzled. Now that our Donghai County has defeated the Xiang clan in Jiangdong, are there any other soldiers in Muling Pass besides the Tiger Army behind you? I don’t know what worries you are talking about.
?Could it be that you, sir, are referring to the Tiger Army behind you?"
Fan Zeng had expected that the trip to Muling Pass would not be easy, but he did not expect that he would encounter Zhang Han's hostility as soon as he arrived at Muling Pass. Although Zhang Han's words seemed to be respectful at this moment, there were many misunderstandings.
Guns and sticks, insinuations and teasing remarks.
Now that Zhang Han has made his move, whether Fan Zeng wants it or not, he has no choice but to take advantage of it.
