The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 660 Chapter 659
Yan Yan volunteered to persuade Leng Bao to come down, Zhang Fei hesitated, glanced at Fazheng, but seeing Fazheng nodded lightly, he said: "Okay, then this matter will be handed over to you." I’ll do it for you, and I hope the old general can succeed in no time.”

Yan Yan clasped his fists and said: "I will do my best, but I know Leng Bao, this person has a lot of backbone and may not surrender, so please be prepared, my lord, in case Leng Bao really does not surrender If not, we can only fight each other, and then I will take off Leng Bao's head for the lord."

Zhang Fei said: "I'll leave everything to the old general."

Next, everyone discussed again. Fazheng made a plan for Zhang Fei, and formulated a plan to divide the troops into two groups to attack Chengdu. Leng Bao focused on persuasion as much as possible, while Fazheng, together with Zhang Fei and others, led the army to follow behind secretly. Once Leng Bao was unwilling to surrender, then they could only fight each other.

In addition, Zhang Fei followed Fazheng's suggestion and asked Li Yan to lead Chen Dao, Guan Ping and others to lead [-] soldiers and horses to detour through Qianwei County, while he led the rest of the people to march towards Zitong with great fanfare.

At present, although Yan Yan and Li Yan have already taken refuge in Zhang Fei, and Li Yan has also incorporated the Brazilian Army and Badong Army, they are still at a disadvantage in terms of overall strength.

Yan Yan has 5000 soldiers in his headquarters, and Li Yan's Dongzhou soldiers are only 5000. Although the Brazilian Army and the Badong Army each have [-] soldiers, they cannot be used. After all, these two armies were forced to surrender. , not following Li Yan sincerely.Even so, Zhang Fei had to borrow these two armies. Therefore, in terms of troop strength, Zhang Fei asked Li Yan to lead [-] Dongzhou soldiers to detour to Qianwei County, while he took Yan Yan and the Brazilian army and the Brazilian army he had brought over. The Eastern Army went to attack Zitong.

The reason for this arrangement is that Yan Yan has a very high reputation in the Sichuan army, and the Brazilian army and Badong army were originally Yan Yan's subordinates. They may not be willing to obey Li Yan's orders, but they are willing to obey Yan Yan's orders .

The next day, Zhang Fei split into two groups and completely separated from Li Yan in Jiangzhou. Before leaving, he asked Chen Dao to take good care of Guan Ping, but he did not tell Li Yan about Guan Ping's real identity. In order to avoid Li Yan's embarrassment in employing people.

After Li Yan left Jiangzhou with Chen Dao, Guan Ping and his entourage, he sent people to Langzhong and secretly dispatched Dongzhou soldiers to Qianwei County. In addition, Li Yan even sent more than ten envoys to contact In his opinion, the old Dongzhou soldiers scattered in Yizhou, this is an excellent opportunity for Dongzhou soldiers to rise again, and the opportunity for Dongzhou soldiers to revenge has finally come.

On the other hand, Yan Yan left Jiangzhou last night with Leng Sheng and several entourages, and went straight to Baishui County.

Baishui County is under the administration of Guanghan County in Yizhou and is located on the northern edge of the Sichuan Basin.

Baishui, also known as Qiangshui, lives along the river basins of Qiang, Di and other ethnic minorities. Although Han people also live in this area, their population is relatively small.Therefore, Baishui County is also an area where Qiang, Di, and Han live together. In addition, in recent years, many Hu people have migrated here to avoid the war in Liangzhou, and the situation here is even more complicated.

Leng Bao is Zhang Ren's right-hand man, and the Leng family is also a big family in central Sichuan, and is quite prestigious in Yizhou. Leng Bao himself is the pride of the entire Leng family.Because of this, Zhang Ren not only made Leng Bao the governor of Baishui, but also recommended him to be the prefect of Guanghan County.

However, Leng Bao also seems to have self-knowledge, thinking that he can lead troops to fight, but governing the local area is not his strong point, so he decisively rejected Zhang Ren's recommendation, and instead recommended Pang Xi, who is very capable in governing the local area, as the prefect of Guanghan County. As a job, I only want to be the governor of Baishui wholeheartedly.

Because of the importance of its region, Baishui is also a necessary place for Qin and Long to enter Shu. Therefore, it is an important military location, and it is surrounded by mountains and dangers. Generally speaking, there are only three most famous and important passes, namely Baishui Pass, Jiameng Pass and Jianmen Pass.

Among the three passes, the most dangerous is the Jiameng Pass. This pass is an important traffic route to enter Shu. Whether it is land or water, it is the gateway to Shu.

Leng Bao has never been to Baishui County since he became the governor of Baishui. Located in the middle of the three passes, no matter if something happens at Baishui Pass or Jianmen Pass, you can go to and from Jiameng Pass for rescue, and there are layers of small passes in the middle of the three passes, which can also block the enemy's attack.

In recent years, Zhang Lu, located in Hanzhong, has become stronger and stronger. His subordinates are all believers in the Tao of Five Dou of Rice. They believe that they are invulnerable to swords and guns. The focus of the attack.

Baishuiguan is a pass city built with water. The pass city is small and cannot accommodate a large army. Once it faces an attack, it will often be captured.Zhang Lu tried to enter Sichuan many times. Although he often captured Baishui Pass, he was still unable to conquer Jiameng Pass. In the end, he could only return in a huff. This also had a great relationship with Leng Bao who was stationed at Jiameng Pass.

Over time, Lengbao gradually abandoned Baishuiguan, and only used it as an outpost, and only sent a small number of troops to garrison it. Once attacked, they retreated into Jiamengguan, and then defended according to the danger, and implemented the combat policy of fortifying the wall and clearing the field. , so every time Zhang Lu's army came, they didn't get any benefits, and they couldn't enter Shu, so they had to retreat to Hanzhong in the end.

Over the years, the relationship between Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu has intensified, and wars have become more frequent. Although there are many Sichuan troops, their combat effectiveness has always been unflattering. The reason for this cannot be explained overnight.But among all the Yizhou troops, apart from Yan Yan's Jiangzhou soldiers and Li Yan's Dongzhou soldiers, Leng Bao's Baishui soldiers are the most effective.

The Baishui soldiers were brought together by Leng Bao. The army is dominated by Qiang and Di people who are tough, brave and good at fighting. The Han people only make up a very small number. Among the four generals under Leng Bao, all of them are Qiang people. However, such an army is often ridiculed by Zhang Ren's subordinates as a motley army.

But it was such a mixed army of Qiang, Di, Han and other nationalities that guarded the gates of Shu, which became one of the reasons why Zhang Ren relied heavily on Lengbao.

Although Leng Bao leads troops away all the year round, his family members are in Chengdu, and he only goes home twice a year. Speaking of which, it's not that Leng Bao doesn't want to take his family with him, but he dare not.

Leng Bao used to work under Yan Yan's subordinates, and witnessed Liu's father and son, and Zhang Ren's suppression of Yan Yan. Therefore, in order to show his loyalty to Liu Zhang, Leng Bao always arranged his family members in Chengdu, so as not to arouse Liu Zhang's suspicion. Or let Zhang Ren think that he has self-respect in his arms and will be protected from unreasonable disasters.

Yan Yan took Leng Sheng and several followers and galloped all the way. It only took two days to arrive outside Jiameng Pass. Along the way, Yan Yan even persuaded Leng Shengxiao with affection and reason. Leng Sheng himself seemed to have been brainwashed, expressing his willingness to persuade his father and Yan Yan to overthrow Liu Zhang's rule together.

In Jiameng Pass, Leng Bao was sitting in the hall, frowning tightly, staring at a map in front of him, and surrounded by four strong and strong men, their clothes The clothes of the Sichuan army are slightly different from those of the Sichuan army, and it can be seen at a glance that they are dressed by the Qiang people.

"Captain, as long as you give an order, I will immediately lead the army to Baishuiguan to rescue the young master, and Zhang Lu's army will not be left alone!" A big man dressed as a Qiang man couldn't help laughing, and finally called out.

The other three people also echoed, clamoring to send troops.

Leng Bao raised his head, glanced at the four generals in front of him, and said coldly: "No, if you do this, if you hurt the son's life, it will be terrible. Once the son has something wrong, don't say yes You, even me, ten heads are not enough to cut off!"

"Captain, is it possible? Do you really want to agree to the enemy's request and use yourself to exchange the young master? It's a wolf's den. The governor has gone, and he will definitely not come back. In recent years, the governor has become an enemy. The thorn in the army's eyes and the thorn in his flesh, Zhang Lu even offered a huge reward for the head of the governor. The son's life is certainly important, but the governor's life is also important. What's more, the enemy army still doesn't know the identity of the son, so we can completely think about it Method……"

At this moment, a person suddenly barged in from outside the door, looking flustered, and shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door: "Captain..."

"Who told you to come in, get out! Didn't you see that I was discussing military affairs with the four generals?" Leng Bao said angrily.

The man hurriedly said: "The governor, calm down, if it is not a last resort, even if you give the little one ten courages, the little one will not dare to come in..."

"Say, what's the matter?" Before the man finished speaking, Leng Bao interrupted the man's words and asked directly.

The man said: "Captain, the young master is here!"

After hearing this sentence, Leng Bao stood up in surprise, stared at the man with wide eyes, and asked loudly: "What did you say? The young master is back? Where is he?"

The man said: "It should be at the gate of the mansion by now..."

Before the man finished speaking, Leng Bao happily walked out, and the cloud on the faces of the other four generals disappeared, and they all followed Leng Bao out of the hall.

However, when Leng Bao and others had just walked out of the hall, Leng Sheng walked in from the outside, seeing Leng Bao coming to pick him up in person, he shouted happily: "Daddy..."

Leng Bao didn't even look at Leng Sheng, just passed by Leng Sheng, and went straight to the gate of the mansion, but when he came to the gate of the mansion, he didn't even see the shadow of the young master, he couldn't help feeling a little angry, and turned his head He yelled at the person who came in to report the letter just now: "Where is your son?"

The person who reported the letter was following Leng Sheng, and when he heard Leng Bao's roar, he was startled, and hurriedly pointed at Leng Sheng and said, "Isn't this the young master?"

Leng Bao glanced at Leng Sheng, immediately disappointed, and couldn't help cursing: "Could you be more clear next time you bastard, what kind of son is my son? I'm talking about Mr. Liu!"
