The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

"Brother Yongnian, I didn't expect your acting skills to reach such a level of proficiency. I really admire you."

Amidst the laughter, one person turned out from the inner tent, it was Fazheng.

In the play just now, Fazheng's identity was suspicious, so he didn't appear on stage, but he in the inner tent could clearly hear the conversation outside.

At this time, Nie Zefeng, with a smile on his face after he had let go of the chill, waved his hands and shouted back the knives and axes.

Zhang Song shook his head and smiled, and said with emotion: "My lord's plan is really clever. It can not only help the pine cicada escape its shell, but also cheat Liu Zhang of 20 dendrobium grain and grass. It's really wonderful."

Although Zhang Song was clever, he still failed to figure out the real purpose of Pang Tong's plan.

The three of them looked at each other, and Nie Zefeng smiled and said, "Yongnian, the beauty of Gu's plan is not only that, but also relying on this plan to break through the Yang Pass and take Jiangzhou."

Break Yangguan and take Jiangzhou!

Zhang Song's expression brightened, his face was full of surprise, he hurriedly inquired about the mystery.

Nie Zefeng glanced at Pang Tong, and Pang Tong fully informed Zhang Song of his real intention of offering this plan.

Zhang Song, who knew the inside story, suddenly realized it at this time, and couldn't help but sigh at Pang Tong's ingenuity.

"Everything is over, let's wait for Liu Zhang to deliver food and grass, and then give Liu Zhang an unexpected surprise." Nie Zefeng stood with his hands behind his back, full of pride.

The chief ministers in the tent were all in high spirits, looked at each other, and laughed loudly.

…… While Nie Zefeng in the camp was hosting a banquet in high spirits to welcome Zhang Song who had escaped, Liu Zhang in Chengdu was tasteless in the face of all the delicacies.

Fear ruthlessly deprived Liu Zhang of his appetite.

He was really afraid that Zhang Song and Wang Lei's trip would be fruitless, and that Nie Zefeng insisted on attacking his Yizhou, and even Zhang Lu couldn't deal with him, how could he have the confidence to resist the mighty Nie Zefeng.

Liu Zhang, who was suffering from distress, suddenly heard a report from his own army, saying that Wang Lei had returned from an envoy from the Chu army in Jiangzhou.

Liu Zhang was so energetic that he hurriedly called General Xuanjin, but when he was suspicious, Zhang Song and Wang Lei went there, but Wang Lei was the only one who came back.

"Where's Zhang Yongnian? Why didn't he come back with you? Then what did Nie Zefeng say?" Suspicious Liu Zhang asked impatiently.

The dusty Wang Lei didn't even have time to take a breath, so he hurriedly told the truth about what happened during his mission.

After hearing these words, Liu Zhang's tense nerves finally relaxed.

Liu Zhang, who was relaxed, gritted his teeth and scolded Huang Quan. He scolded this stupid guy and almost caused trouble for Yizhou.

After scolding, Liu Zhang hurriedly said: "Quickly pass it on to Old General Yan, and order him to allocate 20 hu from Jiangzhou's military rations and send it to the Chu army immediately, so that King Yan can appease his anger."

The six days passed in a blink of an eye. During these six days, Nie Zefeng did not wait for Liu Zhang's 20 dendrobium grain and grass.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, a large number of heavy weapons such as thunderbolt chariots and ballistas are continuously passing through the Three Gorges from the rear and transported to the front line of Jiangzhou.

Nie Zefeng knew very well that Jiangzhou was just an obstacle on the way to Chengdu, and there were other fortified cities behind it. It would be unrealistic to outsmart every battle, only a few bloody storms would be necessary.

When the sixth day was approaching, the travel-stained Wang Lei finally returned from Chengdu to the Chu army camp east of Yangguan.

Wang Lei brought Liu Zhang's reply: 20 Dendrobium grain and grass will be sent from Jiangzhou City immediately, please accept it.

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Lei arrived, more than a thousand soldiers came out of Yangguan City, escorting hundreds of carts of grain and grass, and came slowly towards the Chu army.

At the head of Yangguan City, the old general Yan Yan looked at the grain carts that were leaving slowly, his old face was full of regret and indignation.

"I have [-] strong soldiers in Yizhou, but now I have to rely on sending food to get the enemy to retreat. It is really detrimental to the dignity of our Shu people. Fortunately, the lord will agree, alas——"

It was useless for Yan Nie Zefeng to be angry, he gritted his teeth for a while, and could only sigh helplessly.

Under Yan Yan's helpless gaze, more than a thousand Shu soldiers and hundreds of grain carts slowly arrived at the Chu army's camp ten miles away.

There, Nie Zefeng was stationed at the gate of Maying, happily accepting the big gift from Liu Zhang.

Seeing that all the grain carts had already entered the camp, Nie Zefeng immediately ordered the camp gates to be closed and winked at Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang understood and pulled his horse away, while Nie Zefeng leisurely returned to the Chinese army tent.

As soon as Fang entered the account, Wang Lei hurriedly followed in, cupped his hands and said, "King Yan, 20 dendrobium grain and grass have been delivered, I wonder when the king plans to retreat?"

Nie Zefeng didn't answer, but just lowered his head and sipped a glass of wine.

Around him, Pang Tong was stroking his beard and smiling with a secretive smile.

Zhang Song was also laughing, and there was a hint of sarcasm in the smile.

Wang Lei, who was in the middle, felt something was wrong with the surrounding atmosphere, as if a cold murderous aura was crazily eroding towards him.

Unable to help, Wang Lei shivered.

Nie Zefeng had finished his wine and asked back, "When did this king promise to retreat?"

Wang Lei was stunned for a moment, then described the shock, and said urgently: "A few days ago, Your Majesty clearly said that as long as my lord delivers 20 Dendrobium of grain and grass, Your Majesty will withdraw his troops. Yongnian was also there at that time, Yongnian, hurry up!" Say something."

Wang Lei turned his gaze to Zhang Song, and signaled him not to be in a daze, but to speak quickly.

"Cough cough." Zhang Song coughed a few times, and said unhurriedly: "Wang Zong, I think you heard it wrong, but I remember that the king only agreed to think about it at that time, you know if you think about it, that means you might agree. , and may not agree."

"Zhang Yongnian, how could you—"

Wang Lei was completely shocked. He never thought that Zhang Song would not fight for his lord's interests, but instead helped Nie Zefeng to deal with it.

The terrified Wang Lei didn't know what to do before he turned his head around for a moment.

Just at this time, Zhou Cang, covered in blood, strode in, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the thousand Shu soldiers have been captured, and anyone who disobeyed has been killed."

Wang Lei's figure was shocked again, and his panic instantly turned into terror.

But Nie Zefeng had already stood up, and the terrifying murderous intent was rolling out of that majestic body like a tide.

Looking at the murderous Nie Zefeng, and then at the mysterious Zhang Song, the terrified Wang Lei's thoughts raced, and suddenly, three bloody words popped out of his mind:

"be cheated!"

Wang Lei, who wanted to understand the truth, swept towards Zhang Song fiercely, his face full of shock and anger, and sternly reprimanded: "Zhang Song, I didn't expect you to betray the lord and take refuge with this surname Yan, you shameless person, you Are you worthy of my lord's kindness to you?"

Facing Wang Lei's righteous reprimand, Zhang Song smiled more calmly, without any discomfort at all.

"Wang Lei, don't you understand? For mediocre people like you, Liu Zhang only needs to give you glory and wealth, and you will be satisfied."

Zhang Song's tone became more and more serious.

"But I, Zhang Song, don't care about glory and wealth. What I want is to be famous in the world and go down in history. Only a hero like Yan Dawang can give me this. Liu Zhang is just a cowardly self-defense thief. He can give me that." !"

In front of everyone, Zhang Song expressed his ambition.

In fact, even though Zhang Song secretly took refuge in Nie Zefeng and sacrificed Xichuan, in the bottom of Nie Zefeng's heart, his subconscious mind still felt somewhat shameless towards Zhang Song's actions.

After all, unlike Fa Zheng, Zhang Song was not treated coldly by Liu Zhang, nor was he suspected by Liu Zhang. According to common sense, Liu Zhang not only trusted Zhang Song, but also treated him well.

But now, Nie Zefeng understands that for outstanding people like Zhang Song, high officials and rich salary alone cannot satisfy them at all. What they want is to do a big business vigorously.

Only a master of martial arts and strategy like Nie Zefeng can make their dreams come true.

Such a person is exactly what Nie Zefeng likes.

Wang Lei was stunned and at a loss. At this moment, he and Zhang Song seemed to come from two worlds, and he couldn't understand what Zhang Song was thinking at all.

Wang Lei didn't want to understand either. Apart from his incomprehension, Wang Lei had nothing but indignation.

"Zhang Song, you traitor who betrayed your master, you will die a terrible death! My surname is Yan, I have hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers in Yizhou, and there are as many generals as there are clouds. No matter how cunning you are, you will never succeed—"

Stubborn, rude, and lack of outstanding talent, Wang Lei's swearing has already pushed himself to a dead end.

Nie Zefeng had to listen to his shrew swearing at the street, and waved his hands and shouted: "Come on, push this rebellious person out and kill him, and sacrifice the flag for the battle against Shu!"

Under the order, several vicious pro-army dragged Wang Lei, who was yelling endlessly, out.

After finishing Wang Lei, Nie Zefeng turned his attention to Zhou Cang: "Zifeng, the time has come, let's do as Gu said before."

"The general will obey the order." Zhou Cang complied generously and strode away.

Then, Nie Zefeng sent an order to Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and other generals, ordering them to order the soldiers of the battalion to stand by and wait for an order before launching a general attack on Yangguan.

...The blood in the Chu army and Yan Yan at the head of Yangguan city are naturally unknown.

At this moment, Yan Yan had already retreated from Guancheng, went back to his military tent and drank a lot of wine.

Liu Zhang is weak and stubborn, seeking peace, which makes Yan Yan, who has a strong personality, feel that his dignity has been damaged. He has no choice but to use alcohol to relieve his worries to express his inner annoyance.

When Yan Yan was drinking in the tent, the grain transport soldiers of more than a thousand people had already returned to Yangguan with hundreds of empty carts, dejected.

The small school at the top of the city saw that it was his own sergeant who came back, so he didn't ask much, and asked to lower the suspension bridge and open the city gate to let these brothers enter.

Hundreds of empty cars creaked across the suspension bridge, passed through the gate, and began to come towards the city.

It was getting late at this time, and it was time for the soldiers on duty to change shifts. They only waited for these brothers to enter the city before they could change to eat and rest.

But when the thousand or so people entered halfway, they suddenly stopped moving. Hundreds of vehicles were squeezed between the suspension bridge and the city gate, blocking the inside and outside of the city.
