Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 397 True and False Condolences
Pang Rou, who was not far away, heard a shock. According to the plan, they set off two hours earlier than Yang Song, otherwise they would not have a chance to pass through the Yangping Pass and enter Shu if they did not get drunk at night, and Yang Song would not be able to confuse them later. audiovisual.

Pang Rou anxiously followed the ants on the hot pot, and Song Chen, who was disguised as a Xiliang soldier, walked to his side and whispered something in his ear.

Pang Rou turned from worry to joy, strode forward, and clasped his hands to take up the topic: "General Cheng is safe, we were allies in Xiliang, the general only brought ten altars of wine, isn't it a bit stingy?"

"Xianda (Pang Rou) is too little? It's not easy for everyone to depend on others. My camp is not rich, and these ten jars of wine have been stored for a long time." Cheng Yin said indifferently, saying that you drink gruel every day , This meeting is actually picky.

Pang Rou clasped her fists and said, "The ten altars of wine that General Cheng sent are indeed a little short, and one bowl for each of us athletes is not enough. The general should take it home and enjoy it by ourselves."

Cheng Yin stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Xianda, don't look at the current situation, don't play these things of sharing joys and sorrows with soldiers, what can the remaining hundred people do?"

Seeing that his elder brother was going to muddy the water, Pang De leaned over and said righteously: "Elder brother is right, it's not that we want to share weal and woe with the soldiers, it's just that drinking porridge for a long time is not suitable for alcohol, General Cheng please go back."

Cheng Yin finally understands. Can you not only think that the wine is running out, but also want to ask me for some meat to go with the wine?I immediately wanted to retreat, but before I left, I didn't want to be in such a mess, so I repeated the old saying: "It seems that I am not prepared enough, but what are you planning to do now? Do you want to go to the city to watch the lights?"

Pang De wanted to follow Cheng Yin's words, but Pang Rou said first: "We don't like Zhang Jiaozhu (Zhang Lu), so we won't go to the city to trouble him. You can't sleep because you miss your hometown at night. Ling Ming and I Take them out for a run, and when they are tired from running, they will not only keep their bodies warm, but also fall asleep easily.”

As soon as Cheng Yin heard, good guy, they didn't miss their hometown, it was clear that gruel was not very hungry.

The two brothers of the Pang family are doing this now, completely using the exhaustion of running to make these Xiliang men forget their hunger. This trick is really ruthless.

"So that's the case, then we'll see you later." Cheng Yin then clasped his fists and got on his horse, planning to ask Zhang Lu to borrow some food tomorrow, so that he could come to win over the old team when he was fully prepared.

Seeing Cheng Yin lead the team away in disappointment, Pang De breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "Fortunately, brother is smart, otherwise this guy will miss a big deal."

Pang Rou shook her head, pointed to Song Chen behind, "It's all taught by General Song."

"General Pang, let's set off quickly, don't miss the hour." Seeing that Cheng Yin and his entourage had disappeared, Song Chen walked forward slowly.

"Let's go." Pound nodded, and then directed the Xiliang soldiers to set off.

Even though the remaining hundred or so people were Xiliang cavalry, they didn't even have a single horse, including Pang De.

In the past, Ma Chao fled to Sichuan after defeating Jicheng. Zhang Lu was worried that the people left behind would also have second thoughts. He took advantage of Pang De's serious illness to borrow all the Xiliang horses.

Soldiers from Xiliang have re-enjoyed wine and meat these days, knowing that they will go to Shu to attach themselves to their former master Ma Chao. Now they walk very lightly, and they have renewed hope for the future.

Song Chen led Pang De to go quickly by the moonlight, and more than a hundred people came to the carriage prepared by Yang Song. Most of the cargo compartments were filled with rice and grain, and only ten carts of wine and meat were used for the Yangpingguan labor force.

Yangping Pass is a three-sided pass guarding the central and western parts of the Han Dynasty. It has been a battleground for military strategists throughout the ages.

Pang De and the others drove the carriage and arrived at Yangping Pass two hours later. When he learned that someone sent wine and meat to the army on the Lantern Festival, Lieutenant General Yang Bai personally went down to the pass to meet him.

Song Chen made a detour from Guanzhong to Hanzhong before, and he had already paid tribute to Yang Bai when he passed through Yangping Pass, so he got in touch with Yang Song later.

Yang Bo knew the general plan of Yang Song and Song Chen's plan. Yang Song promised to give him [-]% of the benefits after the event was completed. Anyway, it was the benefits that Song Chen gave up, so he could just take care of his brother.

Yang Bo performed hard at Yangping Pass, and called the soldiers on duty at night to bring wine to the pass to drink.

The noisy voice quickly alarmed the chief general Yang Ren, and after inquiring, he learned that it was Hanzhong who sent him wine and meat as rewards.

Yang Ren asked curiously: "My lord, Shang Yuanye, has been very busy all this time. Why do you think of our Yangping garrison this year?"

Yang Bai passed the wine jar and explained: "My brother asked the lord for instructions, and then sent people to send wine and meat to the army. Let's take advantage of Yuan Ye to relax."

"Enjoy it with the soldiers, I will guard and patrol for the soldiers." Yang Ren refused.

"It's pitch black all around, where there will be any enemies, the general should have fun with everyone." Yang Bai brought the wine at the right time.

After thinking about it, Yang Ren raised his head and drank it. He thought that if someone came to break through the barrier at night, they would hold a torch as bright as day, and they could spot the enemy's situation from a distance. There was really no need to be overly cautious.

"What should they do?" Yang Ren asked curiously after drinking two bowls, watching Xiliang soldiers help carry the wine.

Yang Bo smiled and said: "The general sees that it's getting late and the cold wind outside the pass is unbearable, so let them rest inside the pass, how about returning to Hanzhong tomorrow morning?"

When Yang Bai was speaking, it happened that the dark clouds in the sky closed the moon, and Yangpingguan was plunged into darkness. The soldiers lit the torches immediately, but the night wind kept blowing on their faces, so the soldiers extinguished the torches and waited for the moonlight.

"That's good too. You can't treat them harshly when you come to labor at night." Yang Ren saw that it was really windy outside the city, and he couldn't bear to have Pang De waiting in the gate to blow the cold wind.

Immediately, Yang Bo arranged for someone to greet the convoy to enter the customs. Yang Ren looked at the gate for a while and found that there were more than a hundred carriages, but only a dozen of wine and meat were transported to the gate.

Yang Ren frowned, and immediately asked the officer in charge of the investigation: "The carriage behind does not seem to be alcohol, what is in the cargo compartment?"

"It's rice supplies for Guanshang." The officer answered with cupped fists.

"It's strange, it shouldn't be the time to send supplies." Yang Ren was very puzzled.

Yang Bo pretended to be drunk, he pulled Yang Ren and shook him and said, "It should be on the way to deliver food, just unload it after dawn, the general is about to dry up the wine in the bowl."

"Oh good." Yang Ren didn't think much about it.

All the soldiers on duty at Yangping Pass had a share. Drinking wine in winter could have warmed their bodies, but when they stood at the pass and were blown by the cold wind, their drunkenness quickly climbed to their foreheads.

When the moon reappeared from the clouds, Hinata closed the door and there were already grunting sounds one after another.

At three o'clock in the morning, Yang Bai woke up the drunk general Yang Ren.

"What's wrong?" Yang Ren was confused.

Yang Bai looked sad and said, "General, disaster has happened."

Yang Ren was in a half-lying state, but when he heard these three words, he immediately sat up in shock. He asked in a panic, "Is it Cao Cao or Liu Bei?"

"No, it's my brother who came here to labor." Yang Bai shook his head straight.
