Chapter 427: Hongmen Banquet (1)
Time passed by. A week later, the battle of Hanzhong did indeed take a huge turn. Yangping Pass, the mighty pass of Hanzhong, one of the gateways of Bashu, had been recaptured from Guan Yu, and it was recovered without a single soldier and a shot, and it seemed very brilliant. However, all of this was because of Guan Yu's initiative to retreat. Xiliang secretly let go of the checkpoint. Wu Yi and Zhang Lu remained silently like sending the plague god, allowing Guan Yu to leave Hanzhong easily and safely.
In the Yangping Pass, only huge cheers were heard one after another. At this time, the soldiers' voices were heard, because in their eyes, they defeated the extremely brave Cao army and Guan Yu, who was known as the enemy of ten thousand people.
However, on a remote city, Fa Zheng stood in the wind, looking in the direction of Xiliang, his fists clenched, and a hint of shame appeared in his eyes. In the end, he did not leave Guan Yu. He could plot against everything, but he did ignore the change in people's hearts. If he had predicted it early, there would never have been such a terrible mistake.
Chen Wei, who was following behind him, looked ugly and said, "If it were in my Dayan, Wu Yi would have died a hundred times long ago."
Fa Zheng sneered and said, "Do you think he can escape? Although the king still blocked Cao's army from entering Sichuan and appointed him as the General of Anshu, he was indeed extremely unconcealed. However, Hanzhong is very important for the future strategic encirclement of the Central Plains, so he can only comfort him first. Once the time comes, he will be your military commander."
Hearing this, Chen Wei licked his tongue and revealed a sense of cruelty, saying, "At that time, he will see the top ten tortures of the Military Control Commission."
"At this time, the later talk" Fa Zheng suddenly changed his tone and said seriously: "The most important thing now is not Wu Yi. Although his ambition is exposed, he does not have the courage and vision of a hero. He can completely control him. At present, the most important thing is to completely eradicate Zhang Lu and incorporate his army."
"Young Master, what's the trick?" Chen Wei said curiously.
"It's very simple, it's just a Hongmen Banquet." Fa Zheng's eyes showed a huge murderous intent.
"Hongmen Banquet" Chen Wei murmured unexpectedly.
"Not bad, but we have to deal with someone first. If we can get his help, Hanzhong can settle down." Fa Zheng smiled immediately with appreciation.
When the day passed and night fell quietly, outside a courtyard in Yangping Pass, Yan Pu was blocking Zhang Lu's face with a very anxious face.
"Zimao, what are you doing?" Zhang Lu said helplessly.
"Lord, you can't go to this banquet, not only should you leave Yangping Pass immediately and turn to Nanzheng." Yan Pu persuaded with a worried look on his face.
"Mr. Yan, are you too worried? Now Hanzhong and Shu have already resolved their past grudges. General Zhang Ren even died to save his elder brother. If they really have the intention to kill the elder brother, then they would just take advantage of the fisherman that day." Zhang Wei shook his head and said.
"The second general, today is different from the past. The reason why General Zhang Ren saved Nan Zheng was not because he cared about his lord's life, but because he was worried about the lord's surrender. Because once the lord surrendered, the entire Hanzhong would be occupied by Cao Cao in an instant. Now, Guan Yu's army has retreated and foreign enemies have been eliminated. If General Zhang Ren is still there, he will definitely respect Liu Zhang's intention and return the entire Hanzhong to the lord intact as a barrier to Shu. However, Wu Yi is completely different. Although this person has a general, he has been blinded by his own desires. From the changes he has made in the past few days, he can see that he is no longer the loyal and brave general he used to be. The lord must not be careless. He should turn to Nanzheng immediately. As long as the lord returns, even if Wu Yi has more ideas, it will be in vain, because he will never dare to openly violate Liu Zhang's orders and fight with the lord in Hanzhong." Yan Pu explained anxiously.
Zhang Lu frowned and felt a little confused. What Yan Pu said made some sense, but these were just speculations and there was no evidence. If he left secretly, he might make people all over the world say that he was ungrateful and destroyed the bridge across the river.
"Lord, what is the face? How much is the face? As long as the lord has military power and Hanzhong, who dares not be in awe?" Yan Pu followed Zhang Lu for more than ten years and knew very well what Zhang Lu was thinking, so he quickly persuaded him again.
Just when Zhang Lu was hesitating, a soldier suddenly ran over and said with a fist: "Premier Zhang, my general has found Yang Song who was abandoned by Guan Yu in the city. Please go over and see if it is a real person?"
"What?" Zhang Lu was shocked and said excitedly: "I'll go there right away"
"promise!"
Yan Pu's pupils shrank, and he looked at Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei who were already ready to get on the horse. He grabbed the rope and whispered: "Lord, you can't go! How could such a coincidence happen?"
"Zimao, let's go and see. If it's really Yang Song, I'll chop him up with my own hands." Zhang Lu snatched the horse rope back, and with hatred, he took Zhang Wei and several personal soldiers to gallop towards the government office in the central Yangpingguan.
"Lord, lord" Yan Pu shouted a few times in a hurry, but Zhang Lu was desperate to leave and soon disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Yan Pu gritted his teeth and immediately got on the horse and headed straight towards the army in the city. However, halfway through, two figures suddenly blocked the front.
"yu~~" Yan Pu was shocked and hurriedly grabbed the horse.
"Sir Yan, where are you going?" Fa Zheng appeared in front of him with Shen Wei.
"It's you." Yan Pu said unexpectedly. This young man seemed to be Wu Yi's Gongcao.
"Zheng, I want to ask Lord Yan for some advice, but I don't know if I can get off the horse and give my face," Fa Zheng said with a smile.
Yan Pu frowned and said, "Sorry, Yan has some urgent matters."
"Haha, Lord Yan just wants to go to the military camp, and use his prestige to gather the Hanzhong army and go to the government office to welcome the prefect Zhang back." Fa Zheng laughed in a low voice.
"What did you say?" Yan Pu trembled all over. Sure enough, Wu Yi was really ready to take action. Although he was so accurate at the beginning, he was still a little lucky in his heart.
Fa Zheng smiled faintly and said, "There is a small gift for Lord Yan."
Shen Wei slowly took out a crystal clear tiger jade pendant and shook it in front of Yan Pu.
"This!" Yan Pu's face turned pale in an instant, he immediately got off the horse and snatched it. After reading it, his face showed endless worries.
"Mr. Yan has five sons, all of whom are extremely intelligent and extremely talented. He is known as the Five Tigers of Yan. After hearing this, he loved them so much, so he sent someone to secretly protect them. Do you want to see them?" Fa Zheng said gently.
Yan Pu's eyes showed endless anger and said coldly: "If you dare to touch someone's son, someone will definitely kill you."
"Haha" Fa Zheng smiled loudly and gradually became serious and said, "Mr. Yan, although Hanzhong is big, the only one who can catch the eye is you, Yan Zimao. Not only will you not harm your son, but you will also arrange a teacher of honor for them."
Yan Rou roared in a low voice: "I don't need it."
"Is that true?" Fa Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Is it not that Grand Secretary Hua Xin who is a scholar, Grand Secretary Guan Ning who cuts off his mats and breaks off diplomatic relations, and Grand Secretary Jue Yuan who has quit drinking and studied hard, is it not possible?"
"What did you say?" Yan Pu was shocked.
"Mr. Yan, you have done everything you can do, and you should think about your family next time," Fa Zheng said softly.
"Who are you?" Yan Pu asked gritted his teeth.
Hearing this, Fa Zheng's eyes immediately showed a sense of arrogance, and he walked slowly to Yan Pu, and whispered in his ear: "I am the Great Yan Golden List Tanhua, General Pingchuan, Fa Zheng!!"
