Chapter 179 The Three-foot Sword
Zhang Fei's face was as heavy as water, and he rode on his horse to observe the situation on the battlefield, and kept roaring loudly to issue orders to adjust the battlefield.

And Yang Ren, who closed the Yangping Pass, was also as sinking as water.

The siege equipment, which he had never seen before, completely exceeded Yang Ren's expectations.

The pre-judgment before the start of the attack made the defenders of Yangpingguan feel a little bit of distrust of their superiors: what was agreed was just something 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 disturb the army's mind.

Some soldiers even secretly complained in their hearts:

The general disturbed our military spirit!

Yang Ren didn't feel anything about this, but kept ordering the soldiers to press on:

The city must not be lost!

Zhang Fei didn't feel anything about this, he just kept looking up at the sky while supervising the battlefield.

Another group of soldiers filled in, and when Ma Di was shaking again and begging Liu Feng for another piece of caramel, Zhang Fei finally felt that it was almost time.

"Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, come with me first!"

Liu Feng stared wide-eyed, seeing his third uncle dismounted from the horse, picked up a large shield and a long knife from the ordnance pile over there, and stood in front of him fully armed.

Liu Feng straightened his back subconsciously, but Zhang Fei didn't look at him twice. He just struck the shield with his sword, making a loud sound like thunder:
"Sir Lang of the Han family, follow me to kill the thief!"

Liu Feng's heart became hot.

Although Mi Fang and Ma Di have been suppressed all the time, it is precisely that Liu Feng has the least actual combat experience. He only experienced the first battle of fleeing from Jingzhou to the south.

Mi Fang has been with her father since Xuzhou, and Ma Di followed her father to conquer many cities in Yizhou.

So although Ma Su was stuffed with sucrose to calm him down just now, in fact Liu Feng's heartbeat was not much slower than Ma Su's.

But looking at the back of his third uncle in front of him, Liu Feng suddenly felt extremely relieved.

What are you afraid of?My third uncle is the enemy of ten thousand people!

Liu Feng also hit the shield with his sword and shouted:
"Big man wins!"

A fierce general can boost morale the most, not to mention that the main general will be the first to ascend.

So the soldiers were sparse at first, but these voices finally converged into one sentence:

"Big man wins!"

Pang Tong at the back smiled and said:
"It's difficult to break the city, but now relying on the advantage of equipment, the ambush is ready to go. The other army's heart is weak and our army's heart is strong. The day of breaking the city is now!"

Immediately, Pang Tong smacked his lips with regret, it was really a pity that Kong Ming or Fa Xiaozhi were not accompanying him at such a difficult time.

But Pang Tong was also nervous: If he couldn't break through today, then after the other party got familiar with the ladder and well rail, they might have to stand in a stalemate here for half a month.

If you can't win quickly, you will inevitably change!
So Pang Tong also cast his gaze on Zhang Fei:
Does the fierce general of the north have a false name?

Liu Feng and others were led by Zhang Fei, and they rushed forward like a rainbow.

One of the ingenious designs of the folding ladder is the iron hook at the top of the ladder. After unfolding, the iron hook is inserted into the wall of the city wall. Unless the ladder is completely broken, the hook is extremely difficult to fall off.

Yangping's defenders didn't know mechanics, and they just tried in vain to overturn it, but those who raised the ladder a little felt their hands sinking.

Then he looked down and saw Zhang Fei climbing up.

What a fierce general Xiong Wei, as sharp as a dragon swimming!

Climbing up the city wall two steps at a time, Zhang Fei cleared a small open space with a sweep of his knife.

One of the defenders was fearless and rushed forward to take the lead. Zhang Fei raised his shield and struck him.

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

Zhang Fei's attack was utterly unskillful. He slammed the knife with brute force, and the knife rolled straight.

So simply discarded the useless knife, and used the iron and wood shield in his hand as a blunt weapon to rampage on the city wall. The defenders of Yangping Pass were either knocked down or actively avoided. In this way, a huge open space was actually cleared.

When Liu Feng climbed up, he saw his third uncle plowing back and forth on the city wall like a green bull.

"Wan Sheng!" Liu Feng once again used his sword to strike the shield to impress the third uncle, and backhanded an enemy who thought he was a soft persimmon.

Liu Feng has only been in battle for a while, but he can be regarded as hardworking every day.

After going back and forth like this a few times, the shield in Zhang Fei's hand was quickly damaged, but this is not needed at this time.

Looking at the enemy general who was rushing over, Zhang Fei kicked a long knife with his feet hooked, and casually held it in his hand. He said concisely:

"Surrender still has a way out!"

"Fart your mother, who do you think you are?"

Yang Ren was in a hurry and rushed forward, he was also confident in his bravery, no one in Hanzhong was his single enemy, even Yang Huai Gaopei 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?Without hesitation:
"Yang Ang, hurry up and help me!"

In this way, two against one, within a few rounds, he was evenly divided with Zhang Fei.

However, the guards at Yangping Pass soon became agitated, and the turmoil quickly spread to this small arena.

"General, there's fire in the rear! Someone's shooting rockets!"

Yang Ang and Yang Ren were distracted for a moment.

"Die!"

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

Immediately, Zhang Fei was unceremonious, grabbed a head with one hand and slammed it in the middle, and the blood instantly covered Yang Ren's sight.

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

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

"Xiao Zhi Zhong Miao succeeded!"

"Yangping Pass is worry-free!"

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

"I am Zhang Yide from Yan!"

"The enemy general will be killed. Those who surrender will live, those who do not surrender will die!"

……

This January is the busiest January that Liu Bei and Kong Ming have spent.

It is also the simplest January.

After all, both of their youngest wives are in Jiangling, so they can't be lively if they want to.

Therefore, the two ministers simply had a meal together, and Kong Ming hurried out.

There are Jinguan, Tieguan, and Tangguan all set up, and he still needs to go and see the salt production near Jiangzhou.

Liu Bei had to suffer relatively. The first day of the first month was spent almost constantly pushing cups and changing cups.

Yizhou's courtiers and powerful surnames visited one after another, and Liu Bei was accompanied by Zhao Yun, and those wealthy and powerful surnames suddenly became more talkative, at least they did not create trouble for Liu Bei.

but……

"You are Li Miao?"

Liu Bei looked at the Yizhou courtier who was toasting himself.

"Exactly!" Li Miao raised his head.

Liu Bei didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile:
"What did sir teach me?"

"General Zhenwei belongs to the general's family. However, the general entered Yizhou in the name of begging for thieves. There are many criticisms against the master here, especially the power of Yuezhou pastoral. The general's method of seizing the state is too despicable."

Li Miao could hardly wait.

Liu Bei was silent for a while, and first asked:
"Do you think Liu Jiyu is a proper Yizhou shepherd?"

"When Hannan came in, what was the scene 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 know that."

"However, the little people are ignorant and do not know how to be polite. Does the general want to rely on the little people to govern Yizhou?"

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

"Since Hannan thinks that I have taken the state too lowly, please go back, sir, and wait for the good master."

Li Miao stood there for a while, but seeing that Liu Bei had kept his mouth shut, he could only fling his sleeves and leave in resentment.

Only then did Liu Bei sigh with Zhao Yun:
"Today I know that there is a village in Guanghan County called the Three Dragons of the Li family, why is there no Li Miao alone?"

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

Liu Bei snorted, stretched his waist and said, "I also ask Zilong to invite the people from outside the government office."

"It's a little cold, so it's better to come in to get warmer."

Soon, the people of Chengdu stepped into this magnificent mansion built by themselves for the first time.

Facing Liu Bei is also a mess of titles, Liu Jingzhou, Liu Yizhou, General Liu, Uncle Liu Huang and so on.

The common people boldly chatted with Liu Bei about some daily routines throughout the year, and Liu Bei smiled and talked about his outlook for the next year.

After hearing Liu Bei's assurance that Chengdu's taxes would not be increased and that the wealthy families would be regulated by law, a small cheer broke out in the government office.

A boy with a big surname who passed by the government office was very angry:
"How can Xiaomin set foot in this important government office to drink! This Uncle Liu Huang..."

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

"You want to know the strength of Zhao Zilong's cavalry?"

After the end of the first month, news from the east finally reached Chengdu:
Zhang Fei conquered Yangping Pass and led his army into Hanzhong to meet Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu was defeated and fled to Guanzhong.

So for a while, all the big names in Yizhou were silent.

People with lofty ideals like Zhao Ruo cheered and went one by one to block Liu Huangshu at the gate of the Chengdu government office, just to get him to be reused.

And the big surnames are talking in private: This Uncle Liu's three-foot sword... is really sharp and sharp!
Among them, those who turned their heads faster were already thinking about it. Since Liu Bei is so tyrannical, he might really be able to compete with Cao Cao who went south with millions of troops.

Even if it fails in the end, it will be a good price to sell to Cao Cao in the future.

So they looked at Liu Bei not only in awe, but also with a trace of desire for power.

And Liu Bei, who has become a sweet pastry, sits in the government office, chatting with Kong Ming about the information in hand.

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

Kong Ming read the letter, and first praised Jian Yong without hesitation:
"Xianhezhen is the talent of eloquence."

"Ma Meng attacked Xiahouyuan's tribe in the twelfth lunar month, forcing Zhu Linglu to recruit troops and retreat back to Chang'an.

"It's just..." Kong Ming sighed as he spoke: "Sooner or later, Yongliang will be in chaos."

Saying that, Kong Ming pointed out:

"Ma Chao is able to accept Yongliang's powerful men, but it is difficult to subdue Yongliang scholars. This is a problem."

"Han Sui is in harmony with his appearance, and wants to fight for the land of Yongliang. These are two problems."

"Xianhe said that Han Sui's personal general Yan Xing persuaded Han Sui to return to Cao many times. These are the three troubles."

Liu Bei also felt dizzy for a moment, and then brought up another matter:

"When Zhang Lu fled from Guanzhong, he had almost no way to go. He should have the only way to surrender to Cao Cao. If this is the case, the whole world will know about the changes in Yizhou."

Kong Ming clapped his hands and laughed:

"My lord has now mentioned the three-foot sword of Yizhou, which should make the world look at me!"

"Without the strategy of military advisors and the courage of Wing De, where would we be today?"

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

"I wonder if Yuan Zhi is a good person?"

 The ancient line has come to an end, so don’t worry, old buddies, it’s just one piece and one piece.
