At the same time, Huang Zhong, deputy general of the South of the Conquest, received an order from Liu He, asking him to take advantage of Guan Yu's opportunity to lead his army to attack Baishui Pass and lead his army to capture Yinping County.

"Although Yinping borders our army's land, its defense is weak, and it is easy to attack, but I have never heard of the road to Sichuan there. What's the use of attacking?"

Huang Zhong expressed his discomfort to Liu He's order, but he didn't understand it without management. The order was an order, and Huang Zhong could only carry out the full effort. Therefore, after receiving the order, Huang Zhong did not dare to neglect at all. He explained Liu He's order to the chief general Guan Yu, and immediately led 5,000 soldiers under his command to set out for Yinping.

The Yinping Guard of the Shu Army was named Zhang Yi, who was also a general in Shu, a young general of the Dongzhou Army, and a young hero promoted by Zhuge Liang. The purpose of Zhuge Liang's arrangement of Zhang Yi here was to make him be the rear and prepare to support Baishui at any time. He had to pass here less than 200 miles away from Baishui Pass. If he acted quickly, he would arrive in at most three days. He did not expect that the Shu Army would launch an attack there.

Even Zhuge Liang did not expect the Shu army to attack Yinping, and Zhang Yi naturally did not expect it. However, fortunately, people were cautious here and sent people to patrol day and night under the city gate. Today, while patrolling, he suddenly saw a soldier coming from afar. He couldn't help but feel very strange. He immediately came to the city tower and shouted loudly to the city: "Who is coming? Come quickly and report it to the name. If you don't have the order from the lord, you will dare to act without permission and kill you without mercy."

At this time, Zhang Yi did not expect that the person who came was the enemy. He even thought that this was the reinforcements sent by Zhuge Liang to him. That's why he said so.

Of course, Zhang Yi cannot blame him, because attacking here is really useless. Not only is it useless, it will lead to Liu He's division of troops to defend, which is not conducive to the next step of action. However, he never thought that there was a huge secret hidden under his rule.

However, the answer to him under the city wall was a feather arrow. He originally wanted to ask the other party's identity and purpose, but he never expected that he would be attacked. So when Huang Zhong shot an arrow, he had no precautions in his mind. In this case, Huang Zhong was shot to death with a strong bow.

It was not until the moment before his death that Zhang Yi realized that the person who came was actually an enemy army and he was righteous. He couldn't help but feel deeply regretful. Because he was not prepared, he not only paid the price of his life, but also might bring a catastrophe to Shu.

"Light up the beacon tower." This is the last sentence Zhang Yi said before his death. He hopes to use this to remind Zhuge Liang.

However, Zhang Yi's order was issued too late. When the soldiers of the beacon tower reacted, they were immediately killed by the elite archers of the soldiers of the Destroying Camp under Huang Zhong's command.

Huang Zhong was a good shooter, and many of his personal soldiers were good shooter. Their archery skills were very accurate. The only difference between them and famous archers was their strength. Later, after Huang Zhong was named the bow god, the combat power of these archers under his command was strengthened. Now they can easily shoot the strong bow in their hands to 120 steps away, and keep the damage and accuracy not shrinking.

Under such circumstances, all the soldiers guarding the beacon tower were shot to death, and the rest of them dared not get close.

Because the guard general Zhang Yi died, the soldiers guarding the beacon tower were also killed, and the Yinping defenders were in chaos. At this time, someone recognized that the enemy general under the city was Huang Zhong, the terrified sharpshooter in the Shu army that year!

Huang Zhong was highly valued under Liu Bei's tent, especially his archery skills, which were known as the number one among the Shu army. When he was competing with Guan Yu in Changsha, he shot Guan Yu's tassel with one arrow. This was Huang Zhong's kindness to repay Guan Yu for not killing him because he had lost his horse before. Otherwise, this arrow would be enough to shoot Guan Yu.

After hearing that the enemy general under the city was Huang Zhong, it was Huang Zhong who said the news, many defenders did not hesitate anymore and immediately threw down their weapons, opened the city gate, and surrendered to Huang Zhong.

In this case, Huang Zhong easily broke through Yinping by shooting Zhang Yi to kill and killing the Linlin divine power of the beacon tower guards.

In order to keep it as confidential as possible, Huang Zhong ordered his army to surround the city without leaving one person and strictly block the news. It was not until half a month later that Zhuge Liang discovered that Yin Ping had not reported his safety as agreed, and then he had a vague guess in his heart, and later he got detailed and accurate news.

"What? Yin Ping lost, Zhang Yi was killed, and even the beacon tower was not too late to call the police? How could this happen?" Zhuge Liang was shocked after hearing the news. When he heard that the other party's siege lord was actually Huang Zhong, he was even more shocked. He immediately thought that Yin Ping must have a major secret, and at the same time it could also pose a fatal threat to the Shu army. Otherwise, Liu He would never have sent a heavyweight like Huang Zhong to lead his army to attack Yin Ping himself.

"We must try our best to find out the secrets of Yinping, otherwise our army will undoubtedly be defeated!"

When Zhuge Liang thought of this, he immediately looked for all the civil and military officials who had served in Yinping and asked them if there was a way to lead from Yinping to Shuzhong.

At this time, Dong He came forward and said, "Xiaguan once heard that there was an ancient Yinping Road in Yinping. This road starts with Yinping. It can bypass the Jiange Shu Road and go straight to Jiangyou. It seems that Liu He was trying this idea, but Xiaguan had sent people to visit before, but he has not found the relevant road. Even the villagers nearby do not know, so it is difficult to determine whether this news is true."

"Yinping Ancient Road? Bypass Jiange Shu Road?" Zhuge Liang was shocked after hearing this news and hurriedly said: "It must be because of this that Liu He ordered Huang Zhong to occupy Yinping County. Regardless of whether the news is true or not, we must also defend it."

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said to a young general: "Zijun, I will immediately order you to be the chief general of Jiangyou Pass and allocate you three thousand troops to defend Jiangyou Pass to the death. I wonder if you are willing to go?"

The young general, whose surname is Wang, whose name is Ping and whose courtesy name is Zijun, was recently promoted by Zhuge Liang. Although he was not a big character, he was calm, had rich combat experience, and was humble and eager to learn. He was a general. Zhuge Liang admired him very much and planned to stay by his side to train him well. Now that the war is coming, he feels that it is a good opportunity to train him. At the same time, of course he also feels that Wang Ping is fully qualified for this responsibility, so he sent him there.
