Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 168: Continuous battles and victories, fierce Zhang Fei outsmarts Nan'an (4/8 Pursuit)

Nan'an County, Pi Road.

If Tianshui County is the first gateway for Longyou to defend Hanzhong, then Nan'an County is the second gateway.

Nan'an County is located to the west of Tianshui County and upstream of the Weishui River. Piedao City is built along the mountains and rivers.

The trench is deep and the city is steep, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

It's approaching dusk.

The chariot general Zhang Fei arrived with his troops.

Seeing that Bidao City was in danger, he discussed with Zhang Bao: "We walked all the way, and all the small towns along the way were watching the wind. Only this Bidao City closed its gates tightly, as if it meant to defend to the death."

"When I look at this city, it's deep and steep. It's difficult to attack by force. You need to use tactics to defeat it."

Zhang Bao asked, "How do you plan to use your plan?"

Zhang Bao was very angry after hearing this.

Seeing the arrival of Han soldiers, Yang Ling hurriedly ordered all the soldiers to be on guard.

This was Zhang Bao's first serious attack on the city and he had never heard such a mockery without using curse words.

"How dare you, a man who has grown up like a monkey, to invade our territory of the Wei Dynasty? I see you are so young, and I can't bear that you have no heirs. I advise you to leave as soon as possible, and don't let your life go in vain."

"Try it, I will let you go in with a white knife and come out with a green knife, I will kill you with gall!"

"Pass my order. No one is allowed to fight. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

Yang Ling took a deep breath and waved his hand to stop: "Don't worry! Zhang Fei sent this kid to insult me ​​under the city. He must be trying to lure me out of the city!"

Although Yang Ling was also panicked, Yang Ling would not abandon the city and leave when he heard the arrival of Han soldiers.

"Bidao City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as you defend the city, you don't have to worry about Han soldiers breaking the city."

Zhang Bao's scolding is so disgusting that he can't help it!

"If you know what's going on, quickly open the city and surrender. Rao Er will not die!"

Yang Ling, the prefect of Nan'an who had long heard of the Han soldiers' attack, immediately boarded the city.

"Father, I've been scolding him for two hours, and I've run out of water. The troops at the top of the city can't leave the city!" Zhang Bao returned to camp and drank a large amount of water to soothe his throat.

Zhang Fei sneered: "Don't worry, you must be calm during the scolding battle! You go to rest first and continue tomorrow!"

Zhang Bao scratched his head: "What if the Wei soldiers cannot leave the city?"

"I'll let you go in with a white knife, come out with a yellow knife, and I'll prick you in the shit."

Yang Ling frowned: What a vulgar person.

Zhang Fei whispered a few words to Zhang Bao, and Zhang Bao's expression suddenly became a little strange: "Father, isn't it too vulgar to curse like this?"

The surrounding generals also asked for battle.

Zhang Bao cursed outside the city for two hours, but saw no troops leaving the city, so he led his troops away.

If it were someone who wasn't very literate, he probably wouldn't be able to understand what Yang Ling was cursing.

Zhang Bao spoke of a young man and made vulgar remarks. Yang Ling got angry and slapped the wall tiles: "You are a common man who knows some vulgar words."

Inside Bidao City.

Yang Ling laughed loudly at the top of the city: "Liu Bei is just a veteran of the revolution, but he still dares to call himself emperor. How about Zhang Fei, who slaughters pigs and sells wine, is he worthy of being called a general of chariots and cavalry?"

Zhang Fei's eyes widened: "Vulgar? Do you think this is making friends with famous officials? We are attacking the city, and everyone on the city is the enemy. Do you care if it is vulgar or not?"

While he was motivating, he saw Zhang Bao leading his troops to the gate of Bidao City.

Captain Yang Ding was also furious when he heard this: "Ming Mansion, why don't I go out of the city and kill Zhang Fei's son to dampen Zhang Fei's spirit!"

Zhang Bao didn't care what Yang Ling thought and continued to yell at the top of his lungs:

However, Zhang Bao was literate and able to understand Yang Ling's taunts. Thinking of the scolding formation taught by Zhang Fei, Zhang Bao felt relieved again.

"People in the city, listen, I am Zhang Bao, the son of Zhang Fei, the Han cavalry general. Today I am here to take over your Nan'an County on the orders of Prime Minister Zhuge of the Han Dynasty."

Yang Ling encouraged morale at the top of the city.

"Yang Ling, I won't bully you. Listen to me. I'll give you a hand. Do you dare to fight me for a hundred rounds?"

They are old soldiers who are revolutionizing, they are slaughtering pigs and selling wine, they are crowned by monkeys, and they can't bear to live in poverty and have no children.

"It is said that Zhang Fei has the courage to fight against ten thousand people. If I easily send my generals out of the city, and Zhang Fei takes advantage of the situation to attack me, how can I stop him?"

"I want you to go in with a white knife, or come out with a white knife, I choose your brains."

"Go quickly. If you can lure Wei soldiers out of the city, you will have done a great job!"

Zhang Fei glared at the tiger eyes: "If scolding the formation fails, I will have my own plan to lure the Wei soldiers out of the city. Just go and scold the formation, and the rest will follow my orders!"

Bidao City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This is Yang Ling's confidence in defending the city!

Zhang Bao glanced at the archers at the top of the city, estimated the range of the bows and arrows, and shouted at the top of his lungs:

Who can't do a scolding battle?
Immediately, Zhang Bao shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Hmph! I want to see how Zhang Fei can do anything to me?"

That night.

There were torches lit outside the city, like a long snake array, walking from Bidaocheng to Didao, Longxi County Government Office.

Yang Ling looked confused at the top of the city.

Yang Ding guessed: "Ming Mansion, could it be that Zhang Fei saw that Jiudao City was difficult to capture, so he went to attack Longxi County?"

Yang Ling was also confused in his heart, but he did not dare to take it lightly: "Whether Longxi County is lost or not, if you don't do our job, as long as we defend the city, even if we have no merit, we will have no fault!"

The next day.

Zhang Fei also taught Zhang Bao some words to scold the formation.

Zhang Bao led his troops outside the city and continued to insult Yang Ling, scolding all eighteen generations of Yang Ling's ancestors.

however.

Even though Captain Yang Ding and others were furious and asked for a fight, Yang Ling still held back his anger.

He even mocked: "The more Zhang Fei only scolds and does not attack, the more it proves that Zhang Fei is guilty. I guess Zhang Fei doesn't have many soldiers, so he just wants to lure me out of the city so that we can win in one battle."

"You don't want to fall into Zhang Fei's scheme. If you can't help it, cover your ears with a cloth. If you don't listen, you'll be silent!"

The next night, I saw the torches of the snake array heading towards Didao again.

"strangeness!"

"What's this Fei doing?"

Yang Ling was even more doubtful, and the generals in Bi Dao City were also confused.

On the third day, Zhang Fei taught Zhang Bao another trick, and asked Zhang Bao to bring wine and drink it directly under the city. He also made several brave soldiers in the army fight, and sent a few brave soldiers with loud voices to keep fighting. He cursed Yang Ling.

Although the generals at the top of the city wanted to go out of the city and capture Zhang Bao's five hundred soldiers, Yang Ling once again issued a strict order not to leave the city.

"The more Zhang Fei scolds me, the more eager he is to seek a fight. When Zhang Fei runs out of food, he will definitely retreat."

"Hmph! How could such a conspiracy and trickery fool me!"

Yang Ling became more determined in his response tactics.

In the evening, the situation of the battle changed.

Just when Yang Ling thought Zhang Bao would leave again like yesterday, he saw a banner fluttering in the distance and a troop of troops approaching.

"Child Yang Ling, do you recognize Zhang Fei, the Han chariot general?" Zhang Fei shouted, holding a spear.

Yang Ling was not to be outdone: "How can I, the prince of the Yang family, recognize you, a common man who butchers dolphins and sells wine?"

Zhang Fei laughed loudly: "I didn't know each other before, but I know you today. Let me ask you, will you surrender or not?"

Yang Ling sneered: "Zhang Fei, you have let your son scold you for three days. Do you think I don't know what you are thinking?"

"You don't have many soldiers and horses, and you don't have any siege equipment. You see that Bidao City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so you want to provoke me into leaving the city."

"Do you think I will fall into your trap?"

Zhang Fei stood his spear on the ground, raised his whip and pointed at it: "Yang Ling, I have been in the army for decades, but what kind of fortified city have I not seen? Do you think that when I attack a city, I will only send people to scold the formation?"

"The trenches of Pi Dao are deep and the city is steep. This is indeed a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If your city changes to another place, I will have to retreat."

"It's a pity that Pidao City is built on the Wei River. Have you ever heard of flooding the city?"

Yang Ling's face suddenly changed, and he subconsciously thought of the torches outside the city these past two nights. He suppressed the panic in his heart: "Zhang Fei, you can't lie to me! Do you think I will believe you? You can irrigate this city if you want." Of?"

Yang Ling's legs were trembling a little, and he secretly asked Yang Ding: "Captain Yang, can the Weishui River really flood the city?"

Yang Ding shook his head: "I don't know if we can flood the city. But I have heard that the late emperor flooded Taishou to defeat Yuan Shu, flooded Xia Pi to defeat Lu Bu, and flooded Ye City to defeat Hebei."

After a pause, Yang Ding also felt guilty: "Zhang Fei seems to have participated in the battle where the late Emperor was flooded and defeated Lu Bu. I'm afraid he really knows how to flood the city."

Zhang Fei sneered and shouted: "Yang Ling, I give you two choices now. One, Kaicheng surrenders, and I promise not to commit any crimes against Bi Dao Chengqiu! Second, hold on to the city and I will divert water to the city tonight, so that the entire Bi Dao The city will be buried with you for your stupidity!"

The guards at the top of the city suddenly became panicked and whispered.

Yang Ding's scalp was also numb: "Mingfu, why don't we surrender! If the Weishui River really floods Bidao City, we will die without a burial place."

"There are already scholars and people in the city who admire the Han Dynasty. If they find out that it was the Ming Dynasty that angered Zhang Fei, they may kill the Ming Dynasty to offer the city."

Yang Ling couldn't help but shudder when he heard this.

Nowadays, Cao Pi has replaced the Han Dynasty with the Wei Dynasty not long ago, and there are many scholars and people who admire the Han Dynasty.

Qu Yan and Zhang Jin's rebellion had only subsided not long ago. If Yang Ling insisted on defending and caused Bi Dao City to be flooded, the consequences would be unpredictable.

But if we surrender, Yang Ling is really unwilling to do so: "If we surrender, if other counties defend, we will definitely be held accountable afterwards."

"What's more, your and my family members are all in Chang'an City. If we surrender, won't our family members be massacred?"

Yang Ding offered another plan: "If the Ming government doesn't want to surrender, it's better to pretend to surrender! I have a plan that may be able to resolve the crisis in Nan'an."

Yang Ling was delighted: "The captain has a plan, please come quickly. If we can really solve the crisis in Nan'an, I will show my merit for you."

Yang Ding whispered: "The Ming Mansion can pretend to surrender, open the city gates, prepare drinks to go out of the city, and reward the troops by the Weishui River outside the city; I will set up an ambush inside the city, and when Zhang Fei is drunk and neglects to take precautions, the Ming Mansion will Then lure Zhang Fei into the city." "I've heard that Zhang Fei is a good drinker. If he is drunk, he will not take precautions. When he is not prepared, I will ambush him and kill him. I will definitely succeed!"

Yang Ling's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea! I'm afraid Zhang Fei won't believe it."

Yang Ding smiled and said: "Don't worry about the Ming Dynasty. If Zhang Fei doesn't believe it, or if he believes it and takes the prefect into the city, my ambush troops will not move, and the Ming Dynasty will continue to pretend to surrender."

"If the other four counties can hold on, I predict that Zhang Fei's lone army will not be able to stay in Bidao City. By then, the Ming Dynasty will take advantage of Zhang Fei's retreat and kill him, which will be enough to get away with it!"

Yang Ling put his hands on his hands and smiled: "What the captain said makes sense! Just follow this plan!"

Immediately.

Yang Ling prepared drinks, opened the city gate, and came to see Zhang Fei in person: "Young officer Yang Ling, I don't know the majesty of the heavenly soldiers, but I don't dare to surrender easily because of my duty."

"Now the general wants to flood Bidao City. I can't bear the unreasonable disasters suffered by the soldiers and people in the city, so I am willing to give up my own reputation. Please treat the soldiers and people well after the general enters the city, and I will die without regrets."

As Yang Ling spoke, he raised his sleeves and covered his face, pretending to be shameless in front of others.

Zhang Fei hurriedly stepped forward to help Yang Ling up and comforted him: "It is a blessing for the Han Dynasty that Yang Taishou is willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side for the sake of the people of Bidaocheng. How can I neglect the people of the city?"

Yang Ling took the opportunity and said: "To thank the general for his great kindness, I have specially prepared drinks to reward all the sergeants."

Zhang Bao came closer and said, "Father, almost all the people who left the city are civil servants. There is not a single military officer in the city. Be careful of fraud."

Yang Ling was taken aback and thought to himself that he had made a mistake.

Zhang Fei scolded: "You bastard, Yang Taishou came to surrender sincerely, how can you be disrespectful to Yang Taishou? Why don't you apologize to Yang Taishou!"

Zhang Bao seemed reluctant.

Yang Ling said quickly: "General, this is the official's negligence. It is reasonable for the son to have doubts. I will ask the military attache in the city to come out to greet you."

Zhang Fei stopped him and said, "By letting those common men come out, wouldn't it have dampened my interest? I respect the sages the most, and I hate those who have not read the book the most."

"Quinzi is spoiled by me and doesn't know how to respect wise men. If he can't read and know etiquette, he will be like that idiot Xia Houyuan. He became a general in the Western Conquest and went to repair antlers."

"You don't know, Governor Yang, that Quanzi and Xiahouyuan are also related. Xiahouyuan's niece is Quanzi's biological mother. Hey, the blood of the Xiahou family is brave, but they don't have much brains."

Zhang Bao lowered his head, fearing that Yang Ling would see through the clues.

Father, if you say that to my mother, if you go back to my mother, you will not be able to sleep with me for three days.

Yang Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Fei then ordered all the military academies to come forward: "Carry all the wine to the Wei River and bury the pots to make rice. Tonight I will not return with Governor Yang until we are drunk!"

Seeing that Zhang Fei had no doubts, Yang Ling was secretly happy. While praising Zhang Fei, he went to the Weishui River with Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei invited Yang Ling to sit down by the river, poured wine for Yang Ling himself, and asked, "Prefect Yang, do you know who You Chu, the prefect of Longxi County, is?"

Zhao Yun remembered Guo Huai, and Zhang Fei also remembered You Chu.

After all, these two people are what Zhuge Qiao calls "scheming and good at fighting".

When Yang Ling saw Zhang Fei asking for information about You Chu, in order to avoid arousing Zhang Fei's suspicion, Yang Ling did not dare to hide anything: "This You Chu's pseudonym is Zhong Yun, and he is from Feng Yi Pinyang."

"When You Chu was young, his father You Yin entrusted him to the county secretary Zhang Ji, who is also the current governor of Liangzhou."

"After he was crowned, You Chu served as the magistrate of Puban County, Hedong County, Sili; when Cao Cao pacified Hanzhong, he appointed Zhang Ji as the prefect of Hanxing County. After the Battle of Hanzhong, You Chu was transferred to the post of prefect of Longxi County."

"He is a person who is generous and philanthropic. In politics, he is mainly kind. He doesn't like punishment and killing. He is very popular among the scholars and the people."

Zhang Fei suddenly frowned: "This You Chu is Zhang Ji's disciple. It will not be easy to leave Longxi County quickly. Is there anything that Governor Yang can do?"

Yang Ling pretended to be deep in thought and said: "General, it is not difficult to capture You Chu. Tonight, the general will rest in Bidao City for the night. Tomorrow I will send someone to ask You Chu for help."

"Longxi County and Nan'an County are close neighbors. When You Chu hears the news, he will definitely lead troops to rescue him. In this way, the general can capture You Chu alive and easily capture Longxi County!"

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "If you can capture Longxi County, I will express your great contribution to my brother!"

Yang Ling agreed while giving Zhang Fei wine.

After they had had enough wine and food, Yang Ling took the opportunity to invite him again: "General, it's getting late, why don't you go into the city and take a rest?"

Zhang Fei pretended to be drunk and stood up: "That's exactly what I meant! It's just that I said that as long as you offer Bi Daocheng, I will never offend you."

"It's getting late now. If we let the soldiers enter the city, I'm afraid it will disturb the soldiers and people in the city."

Yang Ling was even more delighted: It is fitting that this thief should die!
Immediately, Yang Ling cautiously advised: "The general can temporarily let the sergeants camp outside the city, and the general will lead some personal guards into the city. In this way, the soldiers and people in the city will not be disturbed."

Zhang Bao heard this and shouted: "Yang Ling, what are your intentions? Could it be that you have an ambush in the city?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fei kicked Zhang Bao over and said, "You treacherous son! I really dote on you in daily life. Don't you just ignore the people you employ and ignore the people you doubt?"

"As you think, all the people of Bidao City will be forced to rebel by you. How could I give birth to a son with no brains like yours? Sure enough, the bloodline of the Xiahou family is full of reckless men."

After kicking Zhang Bao over, Zhang Fei apologized to Yang Ling again: "Don't blame me, Governor Yang! I must believe you. Governor Yang comes from a noble family. Is there any lady who knows the book and is polite? I will sleep with you tonight."

Yang Ling felt contempt in his heart.

A common man who butchers dolphins and sells wine also wants a lady from the Yang family to sleep with him.

He thought so in his heart, but Yang Ling said without any complaint in his tone: "General, I have a niece who is quite virtuous. If the general thinks highly of her, I will let her sleep with the general tonight."

Zhang Fei laughed: "Prefect Yang, I appreciate you more and more. Let's go into the city!"

What Yang Ling didn't know was that Zhang Bao, who was kicked over, just lightly patted the dust on his armor and stood up without any problems.

"Fan Qiang, Zhang Da, bring the dead soldiers. Once there is an ambush at the city gate, seize the city gate immediately, and I will lead the troops in!" Zhang Bao's eyes became cold.

Whether he asked Zhang Bao to scold the formation, deliberately diverted water to flood the city, or rewarded the three armies on the banks of the Weishui River, Zhang Fei directed and acted from beginning to end.

Zhang Fei's purpose has always been clear, to capture Bi Dao City and get rid of those with ulterior motives in Bi Dao City.

Fan Qiang and Zhang Da are also Zhang Fei's old subordinates and have followed Zhang Fei since Youzhou.

Without Zhuge Qiao's intervention, Zhang Fei would have died at the hands of Fan Qiang and Zhang Da.

And now.

Zhang Bao rose like a dark horse under Zhang Fei.

Unlike Zhang Fei who likes to whip athletes, Zhang Bao is kind and kind to athletes.

When Zhang Fei was angry, Zhang Bao was often whipped for Fan Qiang and Zhang Da, and therefore he was highly respected by Fan Qiang and Zhang Da.

Fan Qiang clasped his hands and swore: "Don't worry, Major General. With the two of us leading the bodyguards, we will never let the general lose even a hair!"

The second general led more than a hundred dead soldiers and followed Zhang Fei to the city gate.

Yang Ding, who was in the city, saw that Zhang Fei was drunk and only had more than a hundred personal guards following him, and he was overjoyed: "My plan has worked!"

Yang Ding ordered those around him: "When you see Zhang Fei entering the city later, shoot him with random arrows."

The general of Yitun asked: "But the prefect is with Zhang Fei. If he shoots Zhang Fei, won't he also suffer the consequences?"

Yang Ding sneered: "What governor? I only saw the governor rashly leaving the city and being kidnapped by Zhang Fei. The late emperor had already decreed that if any Shangguan was kidnapped as hostage in the future, he could be eliminated together with the Shangguan who was the hostage. Don't have any scruples! "

The general was stunned and looked at Yang Ding with a bit of trembling eyes.

Yang Ding sneered.

If a person does not serve himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth.

If Zhang Fei and Yang Ling can be shot together, then all the credit will go to Yang Ding!

Zhang Fei came to the city gate, suddenly stopped and asked: "Prefect Yang, you won't set up an ambush in the city, will you?"

Yang Ling was shocked. Did Zhang Fei still doubt him?
"General, how dare you set up an ambush for a subordinate?" Yang Ling smiled and suppressed the panic in his heart.

Zhang Fei, however, took his time and glanced at the city gate: "I just suddenly remembered something from the past."

"In the past, Lu Bu sent his generals to pretend to surrender. Those who pretended to surrender took the opportunity to kidnap Xiahou Dun and demanded money from him."

"Xiahou Dun's soldiers were shocked to see Xiahou Dun being captured, and were very frightened. Unexpectedly, Xiahou Dun's general Han Hao scolded those who pretended to surrender, and cried to Xiahou Dun, 'What is the law of the country?'"

"So Han Hao ordered the soldiers to shoot Xiahou Dun and those who pretended to surrender together."

"If it weren't for the group of people who pretended to surrender because they were greedy for life and feared death, and even begged Han Hao for mercy, Xiahou Dun would have been shot by Han Hao."

"After Cao Cao heard about this, not only did he not blame Han Hao, but he said that this is the law of eternity."

"Prefect Yang, I'm not doubting you, I just want to ask, is the Commander-in-Chief Yang Ding the man whom Prefect Yang can entrust with life and death?"

"Will he kill Governor Yang and me together, and then become the Governor of Nan'an County himself?"

Yang Ling suddenly shuddered and couldn't move his steps.

"It seems that Taishou Yang doesn't dare to judge whether Yang Ding can be entrusted with life and death." Zhang Fei hugged Yang Ling's thin shoulders: "I and Taishou Yang hit it off, and Taishou Yang's enemies are my enemies. Taishou Yang can't If you decide, I will give him a try on behalf of Governor Yang."

Yang Ling's face suddenly turned gray: "Why don't you lower your rank and let Yang Ding come and greet the general?"

Zhang Fei waved his hand: "How can that be done! If Yang Ding doesn't have this idea, wouldn't it mean that he has wronged a good person?"

Yang Ling's legs became even softer.

Seeing Yang Ling's appearance, Zhang Fei made a judgment in his mind and made a gesture to Fan Qiang Zhang Da.

Fan Qiang and Zhang Da led the dead soldiers, holding a shield in one hand and a powerful crossbow in the other, to escort Zhang Fei and Yang Ling into the city.

Not long after entering the city, the sound of gongs and drums was heard all around. The archers lurking on both sides got up and aimed their bows and arrows at Zhang Fei and Yang Ling. There were more than a hundred infantry who wanted to seize the city gate.

"Zhang Fei, you fell into Yang Ding's plan!"

"Archers, shoot!"

Hearing Yang Ding's voice, Yang Ling's eyes suddenly darkened. He couldn't hold on any longer and fainted from fright.

Zhang Fei snorted coldly and tore open the white robe outside his armor. Under the white robe, he was actually wearing three layers of armor!
In Zhang Fei's hand, there is also a powerful crossbow.

"Seize the city gate first!"

Zhang Fei dragged away the unconscious Yang Ling and directed the dead soldiers to seize the city gate.

The arrow hit Zhang Fei's three-layer armor and did no harm to Zhang Fei at all!
Seeing Zhang Fei calmly seizing the city gate, Yang Ding's face turned pale: "How is it possible? How could Zhang Fei be prepared? Why did he not enter the city during the day, but he deliberately fell into the trap!"

however.

When Zhang Bao led his troops to the city gate, there was no suspense in this battle.

Zhang Fei didn't even take another look at Yang Ling, but slapped Yang Ling awake. Looking at Yang Ling's confused eyes, Zhang Fei chuckled: "Prefect Yang, you owe me your life!"
