"Of course, of course, we have no way out. Please rest assured that we will give you a satisfactory reply before noon tomorrow at the latest."

Zhang Lu bowed respectfully to Liu He, made a very solemn promise, and then said goodbye and returned.

After returning to Jiameng Pass, Zhang Lu immediately ordered his brother Zhang Wei to stay and defend Yangping Pass to the death, but he led his relatives to Nanzheng City, the capital of Hanzhong County.

Nanzheng is not only the core area of ​​Hanzhong County, but also the home of Zhang Lu's old nest. His foundation and his Taoist tradition are all rooted here. Once Nanzheng is lost, it will mean that the five-dog rice Taoist tradition established by their three generations of ancestors and grandchildren will be completely eradicated. This is what he cares most about. Even if he dies a hundred times, he cannot forgive himself.

Therefore, Zhang Lu ignored Xinyi and left Jiameng Pass and rushed to Nanzheng City with all his might. By noon the next day, his army had already returned to Nanzheng.

It was not until this time that Zhou Geliang realized that he was about to be fooled. He had always been a clever plan and was as expected as a god, but he did not expect that such a person would happen. He was immediately embarrassed and immediately said to Liu Bei in anger: "Lord, I really didn't expect that Zhang Lu was so ungrateful. He would rather give up this only chance to survive than return to Nanzheng desperately. This is Liang's negligence, which leads to this change."

In fact, with Zhuge Liang's ability and ability, it is impossible to make a mistake. This is mainly due to Zhuge Liang's overconfidence and negligence, because Zhuge Liang did not expect that Liu He's army would come so quickly, which was completely beyond his expectations.

"What should we do now?" Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang sighed softly and then said in a deep voice: "Now that Zhang Lu is not in Jiameng Pass. Even if we talk about the sky, Zhang Wei will probably not be able to surrender. Therefore, there is only one road in front of us, that is, to attack Jiameng Pass, and then the army marched smoothly, attacked Nanzheng with one go, forcing Zhang Lu to surrender before Liu He, so we really don't have much time."

"Since that's the case, there is no need to say anything. We will try our best to snatch Xu Huang's front and take down Jiameng Pass and Nan Zheng." Liu Bei also knew that it had reached a very critical moment, so he was not polite at all. He immediately made up his mind and immediately ordered all the soldiers of the army to attack Jiameng Pass and conquer them at all costs.

However, what is surprising is that Zhang Wei's resistance this time was so resolute. He personally supervised the battle above the city and ordered the soldiers to guard the situation strictly, which made the situation even more confusing.

"No, if this happens, we will not be able to take Jiameng Pass in the short term, so we must find another way." Seeing thousands of soldiers under our command who rushed over like a tide but were soon injured, Liu and Liu Bei's hearts were running quickly, racking their brains to think of a way to break the city.

At this time, Zhuge Liang suddenly came forward and said, "Please order the army to withdraw immediately. Liang has his own way to get Zhang Wei to the head and take Jiameng Pass down to the lord."

"Oh? If so, it's really a good military advisor." When Liu Bei heard Zhuge Liang's words, his whole body immediately became high and said with a laugh: "I knew that the military advisor must have a way to take Jiameng Pass, haha, since that's the case, I immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army."

When Liu Bei said this, he immediately ordered the army to withdraw.

This time, his army not only retreated, but also quickly headed to Chengdu. It is said that it was because the original Ba County Prefect Yan Yan and the County Magistrate Zhang Ren suddenly rose up and caused chaos, threatening the security of Chengdu. Under such circumstances, in order to protect Chengdu, Liu Bei had to order the army to return.

"Haha, this is really exciting and good news. Once Liu Bei's army retreats, we can do our best to deal with Xu Huang." After hearing the news, Zhang Wei immediately praised his forehead and clapped his hands and laughed.

Then Zhang Wei ordered someone to verify the news and found that Liu Bei's army was indeed heading south. He was so excited that he was so excited that he immediately ordered the dispatch of elite troops to go north and south Zheng to reinforce, and he must do his best to defeat Xu Huang's army.

However, after his army had just left, he heard that Liu Bei suddenly led the army back to Jiameng Pass, and then launched a fierce attack on Jiameng Pass, who was only the old, weak, sick and disabled, and did not have a strong guard. In less than a stick of incense, he completely occupied Jiameng Pass.

"How could this happen? Damn Liu Bei, the cunning Zhuge Liang, they actually lied to me!" After hearing the news, Zhang Wei couldn't help but look pale, because it was his behavior that made Hanzhong truly face the double attack of Liu Bei and Liu He. In this case, Hanzhong could be said to be in danger, and accidentally suffered the disaster of losing ground and destroying the religion.

"Ahhhhh... I'm so stupid. How can I get fooled? How can I explain this to my brother?" Zhang Wei screamed in anger, but he didn't know what to do.

At this time, the general Yang Bai said, "There is no other way now. The general can only fight hard and lead the army back to Nanzheng immediately and cooperate with the lord to completely defeat Xu Huang. As long as Xu Huang's army retreats, with the strength of Nanzheng City, it will be fine to hold on for several months. Liu Bei has just taken Xichuan and will never dare to spend so long with us, so in the end she can only retreat obediently."

"It seems that there is only one way." Zhang Wei gritted his teeth, and then ordered the entire army to rush to Nanzheng City quickly, preparing to join forces with Zhang Lu's army to launch a joint attack on the Xu Huang army soldiers who had arrived at Nanzheng City. I believe that as long as we cooperate well, not to mention defeating Xu Huang, there will be no problem even if we severely damage Xu Huang's army.

However, what was unexpected was that no matter how Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei led the army to attack, Xu Huang's army remained as unmoved as Mount Tai. Even Zhang Lu sacrificed his talent "illusion" but could not make Xu Huang's army formation slight chaos. This made Zhang Lu increasingly unconfidence. In the end, he doubted whether his skills were taken away by his grandfather in his sleep, otherwise why would it be useless to anyone?

At this moment, Zhang Lu heard another news that made him almost crazy: Wudu City was captured, and Zhang Lu's confidant, Wudu Prefect Meng Fan, was killed. It is said that the person who killed Meng Fan was a Qiang man. Because of his admiration for Liu He's benevolence and righteousness and Ma Chao's bravery, the Qiang man actually led his clan members into the government office to successfully kill Meng Fan.
