Chapter 1168
Just when Qin Huaiyu successfully captured Jiangyou Pass, Yang Jizhou also arrived in Hande County, south of Jiange Pass.

According to the plan, he had to go to a nearby city to send Liu Zhang's letter to make the county magistrate surrender.Then they raised some soldiers and horses in the county, and pretended to send food with them, so as to open the gate of the city.

Yang Jizhou couldn't plan and couldn't think of an ingenious way, so he came to Hande County according to the plan.Prepare to let the county magistrate surrender first, and call some people in the county to act together.

When he came to Hande County, Yang Jizhou found the county government office. The guard at the gate stopped him and shouted: "The county government office is an important place, outsiders are not allowed to enter!"

Yang Jizhou also shouted: "I am the envoy sent by the lord, I have come to discuss important matters with the county magistrate, and report quickly!"

When the soldiers heard what Yang Jizhou said, they didn't dare to be careless, and hurried to inform the county magistrate.

The county magistrate was surprised when he received the news, and asked, "Why did Liu Zhang send someone to look for me? It should be General Shang who is looking for me. You must have heard me wrong, right?"

Hande County is close to Jiange Pass, which can be regarded as an important town. Sima Yi is a cautious person. Apart from the various passes in the defense area, even the county magistrates in nearby cities have appointed his confidantes to prevent accidents.

For example, Hande County is the confidant appointed by Sima Yi.

As for the series of defense lines at Jiangyouguan, Gao Jiong was in charge, and Gao Jiong was not as cautious as Sima Yi. Therefore, when Qin Huaiyu went to a nearby county town, he easily made the county magistrate surrender.

The county magistrate pondered: "It doesn't matter who sent him, call him in first, and let's move the camera!"

After a while, Yang Jizhou was invited in.

The county magistrate sat on the main seat, looked down at Yang Jizhou, and asked, "Who are you? Why did the lord call you here?"

Yang Jizhou frowned when he saw that the county magistrate looked like I was number one in the world. He took out Liu Zhang's letter from his pocket, cupped his hands and said, "I am the lord's envoy, and the lord has ordered the execution of Master Shang and his disciples. I have taken control of Chengdu, and now I have been ordered to surrender to the emperor, and I am specially ordered to seize Jiange Pass and cut off Sima Yi's retreat! This is the Lord's order, please cooperate with my actions!"

"What did you say?" The county magistrate turned pale with fright when he heard Yang Jizhou say that.

Seeing that the county magistrate's expression was wrong, Yang Jizhou turned cold and said in a deep voice: "Now that the lord has surrendered, you are the lord's servant. Do you dare to refuse the lord's order?"

The county magistrate heard the killing intent in Yang Jizhou's words. Seeing Yang Jizhou's tallness and mightiness, he was shocked in his heart: "There are no capable people around Liu Zhang. General Gao and Yang Xuangan are the enemies of ten thousand people. Who in Chengdu can kill him? Could it be this reason?" Killed by someone?"

Thinking of this, the county magistrate didn't dare to show a disobedient expression.

The county magistrate put on a righteous look, and said sternly: "I am an official appointed by the lord, how dare I disobey the order of the lord, but the lord has always been weak, this time I was able to kill Master Shang and his disciples, Yang Xuangan controls Chengdu , really surprised me. It's just that these are all your one-sided words, empty words, show me the letter of the lord first, I can recognize the seal of the lord!"

Yang Jizhou handed the letter to the county magistrate, and said: "You can see clearly, can the seal be fake?"

The county magistrate took a look at the letter and recognized that it was Liu Zhang's own letter from the California Mu seal.

After reading the letter, the county magistrate's face was full of surprises, and he could not wait to dance: "This is really the master's letter. This is really great. The two thieves Sima Yi and Yang Su came to power and made the people of Yizhou miserable. I’m just waiting for this day. General, I’m going to send people to gather carriages and men. You’re exhausted from the journey, and you’re probably hungry too. How about I prepare wine and food to wash you off?”

Just as Yang Jizhou wanted to refuse, he suddenly felt hungry, and said, "The food is enough, but the wine is free. I don't know how to drink if the emperor's army has not entered Yizhou."

"Haha, it's fine if you don't drink, it won't delay the big event!" The county magistrate smiled along with him, while winking at the master's subordinates who were attacking.

The master is the county magistrate's confidant, and naturally he is also Sima Yi's person. He knew that the county magistrate wanted him to go down and gather men to deal with Yang Jizhou, so he hurried down to prepare.

The master went down, came to the front hall of the government office, and summoned more than 20 guards in the government office.

He told the guards: "Today, the lord of the county wants to get rid of a traitor who is collaborating with the enemy. You guys will lie in ambush on both sides of the hall later, and use the name of throwing cups to fight out together, and chop that person into flesh." mud."

Among the guards, a tall and mighty young man stood up and asked doubtfully, "Collaborating with the enemy? What kind of enemy is it that I don't know?"

The master shouted in displeasure: "Now our army is fighting the Han army, collaborating with the enemy is of course colluding with the Han army. You don't have to ask more questions, just arrange the manpower quickly."

"No!" The young man bowed his hands and accepted the order.

After the master ordered the guards, he walked towards the back kitchen.

The young man was the leader of the guards, and when he saw this master heading towards the back kitchen, he became suspicious, so he ordered the soldiers under his command: "You all lie in ambush first, and I will make it easier for you."

After the young man finished speaking, he quietly followed the county magistrate's confidant.

Sure enough, the place where the master came was the back kitchen, and the young man hid outside the house, eavesdropping on the kitchen.

"This is a packet of arsenic, you will add it to your meal later!"

"So many? It's enough to poison several cows, so add them all?"

"That kid is as strong as a bull. I'm afraid he's an expert. If you don't add more, how can it work? This is the county magistrate's idea. If you tell you to add it, you can add it. How can there be so much nonsense!"

Hearing this, the young man at the door turned pale with shock, and said in his heart: "It's not enough to ambush the soldiers, but also to poison them. Who wants such a battle? I, Ma Zhong, are upright. I have to figure it out first, and don't do anything wrong." good!"

After Ma Zhong finished speaking, he quietly went to the county magistrate's study, ready to find out the identity of the person the county magistrate wanted to poison.

Ma Zhong's reputation in history is not small, because there is a Ma Zhong in Soochow, he is Pan Zhang's subordinate, and he is the person who captured Guan Yu in history.Ma Zhong's fame all came from capturing Guan Yu.

But not many people know that the Shu Han also had a Ma Zhong, who was the top general in the later period of the Shu Han.

The current Ma Zhong is naturally the all-rounder in the history of the Shu Han who is capable of both literature and martial arts.

Ma Zhong quietly touched the outside of the county magistrate's study, wanting to know who the county magistrate would not hesitate to kill even if he poisoned and buried soldiers secretly.

When he came outside the study, he heard Yang Jizhou and the county magistrate talking in the room.

The county magistrate was inquiring about the situation in Yizhou, and asked Yang Jizhou, "General, I don't know how my lord got rid of the two rebels, Master Shang and his apprentice, Yang Xuangan?"

Ma Zhong was shocked when he heard this, and said in his heart: "Master Shang and his disciples and Yang Xuangan have been removed, my lord? This is completely against Sima Yi and Yang Su. Could it be that sending this person here is to seize Jiange Pass and cut off Sima Yi's retreat southward?

But now that the Han army is attacking Yizhou, my lord, wouldn't it be self-defeating if he did this?Could it be that the lord has already surrendered?That's right, the county magistrate is Sima Yi's confidant, so naturally he won't let him seize Jiange Pass, so you want to kill him, right? "

Ma Zhong continued to listen.

In the room, Yang Jizhou said: "This is all due to my master. My lord deliberately let out rumors that he would surrender to the emperor, so Yang Xuangan, the master and apprentice, naturally led troops to the government office to control the situation. My master guarded the Zhengyang Gate alone. Master Shang and his disciples were beheaded with a single blow, Yang Xuangan, and the [-] soldiers surrendered upon seeing this situation, so Chengdu was settled."

Yang Jizhou's words were half true and half false. It was true that Jiang Song beheaded Master Shang and his apprentice Yang Xuangan, but he played down his identity as a Han army, and described his identity as a master Liu Zhang had won over.If you say that you are the identity of the Han army, it will bring a lot of trouble.

After all, if the Han army forces Liu Zhang to surrender, many loyal subjects to Liu Zhang will find ways to continue to support Liu Zhang.But if Liu Zhang advocated surrender, those courtiers would not meddle in their own business.

Although Yang Jizhou did not reveal his identity, Ma Zhong had some vague guesses: "My lord, he has always been weak. How can he win over experts? During this period of time, the gates of various places have strengthened their garrison, saying that it is to guard against the spies of the Han army. I think This person should be the general of the big man!"

"Master Ling is so powerful. I heard that Master Shang and his disciples are known as the generals of the Four Treasures. They have four treasures in their hands, and they are invincible. The best player in the world."

Yang Jizhou was elated by the county magistrate's praise, he laughed and said: "That's right, my master is the best in the world, and I'm his apprentice, I've already learned eight things from him, so I can be regarded as the second best in the world!

You are a real person, as long as you help me take down Jiange, when the Han army enters Yizhou in the future, I will protect you as the prefect. "

The county magistrate didn't know Yang Jizhou's identity, so he didn't take it seriously when he heard this. A dying man, why would you protect me as the prefect?

Ma Zhong heard this, but came to a conclusion, thinking: "Although this man is a reckless man, but he can say this, I'm afraid he is a general of the Han army. Now that the lord has surrendered, I can't continue to work for the tiger. If If Sima Yi leads the army to the south, then Yizhou will definitely be devastated, even if the Han army is surrendered!"
