Chapter 54: The Battle of Nanzheng
Yang Bai was really humiliated by Yang Song. As Yang Song's younger brother, he always claimed to be the most outstanding martial arts among the Yang family's children.
As for Yang Ang and Yang Ren, they had no chance to lead the army alone before, but unexpectedly, this time, they followed the opportunity of Baozhong's defeat and suddenly gained the power to lead the army alone from Zhang Lu.
Although all the elite soldiers in Hanzhong are in the hands of Zhang Wei, the other ordinary soldiers are basically controlled by the Yang family. Among these Yang family, whoever has sufficient military strength will have the chance to become the military affairs of the Yang family.
To be honest with one's own interests, this Yang family's old man is likely to be promoted to the position of general in the future.
In today's Hanzhong, if he can really become a general-like figure, it means that he will be the leader of the entire Yang family's resources.
And such an opportunity should have been his Yang Bo, but it was just a change in praise that made him lose this opportunity. However, Yang Bo had a clear conscience and he still told Zhang Lu truthfully about Liu Fan's plan.
Unfortunately, Zhang Lu and the others didn't believe it.
Even through this incident, Yang Bo could clearly feel that Zhang Lu and Yang Song both began to despise him!
This is something that Yang Bo would never accept. He originally wanted to wake everyone up with a sincere heart, but unexpectedly, it was ruthlessly ridiculed. Under such circumstances, Yang Bo was furious.
He began to think about cooperating with Liu Fan. Instead of letting himself bear the ridicule of these people, it would be better to turn against him and lead Liu Fan's army into the city, so that Zhang Lu knows that what he said before is true!
And it also made his brother Yang Song understand that his younger brother was not an incompetent person, but a loyal and courageous man, but was forced to the point of desperate situation by them.
Gradually, he began to plan the plan in his heart. Since Yang Bo decided to cooperate with Liu Fan, he must do something. After all, as the future leader of Yizhou, Liu Fan still has great prospects to join him.
Yang Bai in Nanzheng City thought about how to respond to Liu Fan. Outside Nanzheng City, Liu Fan's troops also set off from the Bao and touched Nanzheng at night.
At the beginning of the team, Meng Da was a little nervous. After he failed to make contributions in Baozhong last time, he had never spoken to Fazheng. Perhaps in order to make up for his relationship with each other, Fazheng asked him to attack Nanzheng City as a vanguard.
As a general, he naturally knew the significance of Nanzheng City in Hanzhong. Compared with Baozhong, Nanzheng is the real core of Hanzhong. In other words, as long as Nanzheng is captured, Hanzhong will basically be pacified.
If you can also have the credit for conquering Nanzheng, it will be much greater than that of the most popular ones.
Therefore, Meng Da was a little excited and a little nervous. What was excited was that suddenly such a great contribution fell on him, and he was afraid that he would not be able to stand it; what was nervous was that he was also afraid that Fa Zheng would cheat him again.
In fact, judging from Liu Fanbai's expression when he assigned tasks, he did not joke with him, and his solemn expression also made Meng Da feel the arduousness of the task.
Therefore, Meng Da was more than 60% sure that this was a bloody battle.
Following Meng Da, Xi Yi was also a little nervous, "Captain, the General of the Central Army, in addition to letting us attack Nanzheng City for the vanguard, do you have other tasks to explain?"
Xi Yi was a little worried. From the bottom of his heart, he felt that Nan Zheng was really not easy to conquer.
Moon shook his head, Meng Da looked solemn, "No, although it is difficult to attack Nanzheng, if he can really conquer, the contribution will be extremely great. This is the opportunity for us to wait. Xu Gongming cannot be compared in everything!"
He nodded his head, but bowed and said nothing more.
When Meng Da led the vanguard army and advanced forward in fear, Pang De looked depressed in the rear of the team. Before the Baozhong County Temple arranged the division of labor, Pang De had asked Liu Fan for battle, and he wanted to be a vanguard.
After all, after Xu Huang was able to conquer Baozhong's meritorious service, he showed off many excuses in front of him, especially when the army was stationed in the military camps in Baozhong City. Xu Huang's favorite thing was to travel between the various military camps with great power, and comment on the arrangement of the military camps in front of him and his subordinates.
The meaning of showing off was too obvious, as if he was afraid that others would not know that Baozhongcheng was the first to climb the city tower to seize it. Pang De and his men could no longer sit still!
So, after Liu Fan revealed his intention to attack Nan Zheng, Pang De was the first to ask for battle. Unfortunately, Liu Fan did not allow him to ask for battle, but instead asked Meng Da to be the vanguard, and he as the second batch of auxiliary troops to attack the city.
This made Pang De feel a little depressed, afraid that Meng Da would beat Nan Zheng directly with a fierce force, so he could only follow behind to clean up the battlefield. His face was depressed, and Pang De actually expected Meng Da to be unable to fight.
Another general under Liu Fan's command, Xu Huang, was sent by him to do a great thing. He rode his horse and came back from the endless darkness. Xu Huang came to Liu Fan, "Lord, there are indeed troops and horses in Nanzheng City during the day!"
"How many waves have occurred, which directions are they going?" Liu Fan asked in a deep voice, holding the reins with his hands.
"There are two waves, one is towards Xiyangping Pass, and the other is towards northwest and Baozhongcheng." After saying that, Xu Huang also said with some lingering fear: "Fortunately, the lord ordered the army to go south all the way and avoided two waves of troops."
Turning his head and looking at Fa Zheng beside him, Liu Fan thought, "Did Xiaozhi think that Yang Bai really followed the instructions and bewitched Zhang Lu's troops from the city to block our army?"
The brows were also frowned. After hearing Xu Huang's military situation, Fa Zheng began to speculate silently. After a long time, he said quietly: "Yang Bai seems cowardly and is timid when he was Baozhongcheng, but I think he still has the arrogance of the Yang family's children!
If he would be willing to contribute to our army with just a few words, I don’t think this person could trust him easily. However, if this is not the case, it might be that something happened in Nanzheng City.”
As he said that, Fa Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his head and smiled: "Maybe he was misunderstood!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Fan was also stunned. At this moment, he remembered the magical operation of Ma Chao and Guo Si in Mei County. After thinking about it, Liu Fan couldn't help laughing, "If Yang Bai really received unfair treatment in Nanzheng City, when I enter Nanzheng, I will definitely preside over him!"
He laughed happily in an instant, and Fa Zheng also joked, "If he really can enter the city, Yang Duwei can be regarded as a great hero of the lord. The lord should pay attention to him!"
Then, the two started chatting with each other again. However, Fa Zheng cleverly hid the worries in his eyes. In fact, he still had a possibility. He didn't say it out, but there was a wise man in Nanzheng City. After seeing through his plans, he sent troops to do it just to use a plan!
