Chapter 179 Three-Foot Sword

Zhang Fei's face was as gloomy as water. He rode on his horse and observed the situation on the battlefield, constantly roaring and issuing orders to adjust the battlefield.

Yang Ren on Yangping Pass also had a gloomy face.

The siege equipment that he had never seen before was completely beyond Yang Ren's expectations.

The prediction before the attack made the defenders of Yangping Pass feel a little distrustful of their superiors: What if they were just things that could not be used?

But the soldiers did not dare to speak, after all, the general's order at the time was to kill those who disturbed the morale of the army.

Some soldiers even complained secretly in their hearts:

The general disturbed our morale!

Yang Ren had no feelings about this, but kept ordering the soldiers to press on:

The top of the city must not be lost!

Zhang Fei had no feelings about this, but just supervised the battlefield while constantly looking up at the sky.

Another team of soldiers filled in, and when Ma Su's body trembled again and began to beg Liu Feng for another piece of maltose, Zhang Fei finally felt that it was almost time.

"Fan Jiang, Zhang Da, follow me to climb first!"

Liu Feng's eyes widened as he watched his uncle dismount, pick up a large shield and a long sword from the pile of weapons, and then stand in front of him fully armed.

Liu Feng subconsciously straightened his back, but Zhang Fei did not look at him for a second, just hit the shield with his sword, his voice like thunder:

"Han family sons, follow me to kill the bandits!"

Liu Feng's heart was burning.

Although he had been suppressing Mi Fang and Ma Su, Liu Feng had the least actual combat experience, and he only experienced a battle when he fled south from Jingzhou.

Mi Fang had followed his father since Xuzhou, and Ma Su had followed his father to break many cities in Yizhou.

So although he had just stuffed sugar cane into Ma Su to help him calm down, in fact Liu Feng's heartbeat was not much slower than Ma Su's.

But at this time, looking at the back of his uncle in front of him, Liu Feng suddenly felt very relieved.

What are you afraid of? My uncle is a match for thousands of people!

Liu Feng also hit the shield with his sword and shouted:

"Long live the Han!"

A fierce general can boost morale the most, not to mention the commander who goes up first.

So the soldiers were scattered at first, but these voices finally gathered into one sentence:

"Long live the Han!"

Pang Tong in the back smiled and said:

"It is difficult to break the city, but now we rely on the advantage of weapons and ambushes. The enemy's morale is weak and ours is strong. The day to break the city is today!"

Then Pang Tong smacked his lips with a little regret. It was a pity that there was no Kong Ming or Fa Xiaozhi to accompany him when he was commenting on the battle situation.

But Pang Tong was also nervous: If he couldn't break it today, then after the other side got familiar with the cloud ladder and the well, it would probably be a stalemate for half a month.

If he couldn't win quickly, there would be changes!

So Pang Tong's eyes were also cast on Zhang Fei:

Is the fierce general in the north just a name?

Liu Feng and others, led by Zhang Fei, rushed up with great momentum.

One of the ingenious designs of the folding ladder is the iron hook at the top of the ladder. After it is unfolded, the iron hook is embedded in the top of the wall. Unless the ladder is completely broken, it is extremely difficult to remove the hook.

The Yangping defenders did not know mechanics, and they tried in vain to overturn it, but the few who lifted the ladder a little bit suddenly felt their hands sink.

Then they looked down and saw Zhang Fei climbing up.

What a fierce general, as agile as a dragon!

Climbing up the wall in two steps, Zhang Fei swept his sword and cleared a small space.

A defender rushed up fearlessly to take the first credit, and Zhang Fei turned sideways and raised his shield to hit him.

Liu Feng, who was climbing up behind, saw a figure struggling to fly down the wall like a kite with a broken string.

Zhang Fei's attack was without any skills, and he threw the sword straight back and forth with brute force, and soon the blade was rolled.

So he simply threw away the useless sword and used the iron and wood shield in his hand as a blunt weapon to charge at the city wall. The defenders of Yangping Pass were either knocked down or took the initiative to avoid it, and he actually cleared a large open space.

When Liu Feng climbed up, he saw his uncle plowing on the city wall like a green ox.

"Victory!" Liu Feng hit his uncle's shield with his sword again to show his strength, and then killed an enemy who thought he was a soft persimmon.

Liu Feng had only rarely experienced battles, but he could be considered diligent in practicing every day.

After several rounds of this, Zhang Fei's shield was soon broken, but he didn't need it at this time.

Seeing the enemy general rushing over, Zhang Fei kicked up a long sword, and casually swung it in his hand, saying concisely:

"Surrender and there is still a way to survive!"

"Bullshit, who do you think you are?"

Yang Ren was very anxious and rushed forward. He was also confident of his bravery. No one in Hanzhong could match him. Even Yang Huai Gao Pei from Baishui Pass never dared to fight him.

But as soon as they fought, Yang Ren was horrified. How could this guy be so strong? He immediately said without hesitation:

"Yang Ang, come and help me!"

In this way, two against one, they actually fought Zhang Fei to a draw in a few rounds.

However, the defenders of Yangping Pass soon became riotous, and the riot soon spread to this small fighting field.

"General, there is a fire in the back! Someone is shooting rockets!"

Yang Ang and Yang Ren were distracted for a moment.

"Come and die!"

Zhang Fei's tongue burst into spring thunder, and the thunderous roar that had been suppressed for a long time burst out, and the two generals only felt dizzy.

Then Zhang Fei grabbed a head with one hand and threw it hard in the middle. The blood instantly covered Yang Ren's vision.

"My life is over!" This was Yang Ren's last thought.

Pang Tong, who was anxiously waiting in the military camp, also saw the thick smoke rising from behind Yangping Pass.

"Xiaozhi Zhongmiao succeeded!"

"There is no need to worry about Yangping Pass!"

Then Pang Tong heard a voice coming from the other side of the city wall:

"I am Zhang Yide from Yan!"

"The enemy generals surrender, those who surrender live, those who do not surrender die!"

...

This first month was the busiest first month for Liu Bei and Kong Ming.

It was also the simplest first month.

After all, their families and wives were in Jiangling, so it was impossible to have a lively time.

So the master and his ministers just had a simple meal together, and Kong Ming hurried out.

The Jinguan, Tieguan, and Tangguan were all set up, and he needed to go and see the salt production near Jiangzhou in person.

Liu Bei had to suffer a little bit, and the first day of the first month was almost spent in constant drinking.

The ministers and powerful families of Yizhou visited Liu Bei one after another. With Zhao Yun as his companion, those powerful families suddenly became a lot easier to talk to, at least they did not cause trouble for Liu Bei.

But...

"Are you Li Miao?"

Liu Bei looked at the Yizhou minister in front of him who toasted him.

"That's right!" Li Miao raised his head.

Liu Bei didn't care and smiled:

"What do you have to teach me, sir?"

"General Zhenwei is a member of the general's clan, but the general entered Yizhou in the name of fighting against the enemy, and criticized the owner of this place a lot, even more than the power of the governor of Yuezhou. The general's method of taking the state is too despicable."

Li Miao was almost impatient.

Liu Bei was silent for a while, and first asked back:

"Do you think Liu Jiyu is the governor of Yizhou with virtue?"

"When Hannan came in, you could see what was outside the government office?"

Li Miao raised his head and replied:

"There are people outside the government office who want to thank the general for his kindness, and I also know it."

"But the common people are ignorant and don't know etiquette. Do you want to rely on the common people to govern Yizhou?"

Liu Bei lost interest in talking in an instant, shook his head and said:

"Since Hannan thinks that I took the state too despicable, then please go back, sir, and wait for a good master."

Li Miao stood there for a long time, but seeing that Liu Bei had kept silent, he could only leave with a shrewd look.

Liu Bei then sighed with Zhao Yun:

"Today I know that there are three dragons of the Li family in Guanghan County, but why is there no Li Miao."

Zhao Yun also shook his head: "My lord, this is to save his life."

Liu Bei snorted, stretched and said: "Please ask Zilong to invite the people outside the government office in."

"The weather is a little cold, it's better to come in to warm up."

So soon, the people of Chengdu stepped into this magnificent government office they built with their own hands for the first time.

Face Liu Bei, there are also messy names, such as Liu Jingzhou, Liu Yizhou, General Liu, Liu Huangshu, etc.

The people boldly chatted with Liu Bei about some daily sighs throughout the year, and Liu Bei smiled and told him about the outlook for next year.

After hearing Liu Bei's guarantee that Chengdu's taxes would not increase and that laws would be enacted to regulate the wealthy families, a small cheer broke out in the government office.

A young man from a wealthy family who passed by the government office was very angry:

"How can a commoner set foot in this important place to drink! This Emperor Liu..."

"Shh, be careful!" Another person quickly covered his mouth:

"Do you want to know the advantages of Zhao Zilong's cavalry?"

After the first month of the year, news from the east finally reached Chengdu:

Zhang Fei conquered Yangping Pass and led his army straight into Hanzhong to fight Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu was defeated and fled to Guanzhong.

So for a while, all the wealthy families in Yizhou were silent.

Ambitious people like Zhao Quan cheered and went to the gate of Chengdu government office to block Emperor Liu, just to be promoted.

And the wealthy families were talking privately: This Emperor Liu's three-foot sword... is really sharp!

And those who think faster are already thinking, since Liu Bei is so powerful, maybe he can really compete with Cao Cao who is leading a million troops to the south.

Even if it doesn't work out in the end, it will be sold to Cao Cao for a good price in the future.

So they looked at Liu Bei with awe and a desire for power.

Liu Bei, who had become a popular figure, sat in the government office and talked with Kong Ming about the intelligence in his hands.

This secret letter was sent back by Jian Yong. After Zhang Fei opened up Hanzhong, a messenger sent the letter to Hanzhong through Qishan Road. After several twists and turns, it finally reached Liu Bei.

Kong Ming read the letter and praised Jian Yong without hesitation:

"Xianhe is really an eloquent man."

"Ma Mengqi attacked Xiahou Yuan's army in December and forced Zhu Linglu to retreat to Chang'an. The strategy of cutting off the Long Road was successful."

"But..." Kong Ming sighed as he spoke: "Yongliang will be in chaos sooner or later."

Kong Ming counted with his fingers:

"Ma Chao can win over the powerful people in Yongliang, but it is difficult to win over the scholars in Yongliang. This is the first problem."

"Han Sui and him are at odds and want to compete for the land of Yongliang. This is the second problem."

"Xianhe said that Han Sui's personal general Yan Xing repeatedly persuaded Han Sui to return to Cao. This is the third problem . "

Liu Bei also felt a headache for a while, and then he mentioned another thing:

"Zhang Lu fled to Guanzhong, and there was almost no way to go. He should have only surrendered to Cao. If so, the world will know about the change in Yizhou. "

Kong Ming clapped his hands and laughed:

"My lord, you have now raised the three-foot sword of Yizhou, and the world will be surprised!"

"Without the military counselor's plan and Yide's courage, how could we be here today?"

Liu Bei also shook his head and laughed, and then he remembered the person who introduced Kong Ming to him:

"I wonder if Yuan Zhi is doing well?"

The ancient line has come to an end, so don't worry, brothers, it's a matter of relaxation.
