After more than half a month of confrontation, Zhou Yang's army of 100,000 attacking Hanzhong is still consuming food resources every day, but still has no achievements.

Xiahou Yuan, Cao Xiu and other generals were anxious, and Xu Ye stayed in the tent all day to study countermeasures.

Zhou Yang stayed alone on the hillside, looking at Yangping Pass in the distance every day, knowing that persisting like this is not a solution. Sooner or later, the entire Wei State resources will be dragged down. He was already planning to stop retreating.

At this time, Zhang Chunhua, dressed in a soldier, ran over and laughed, "What are the famous Zhou Xianghou thinking?"

"Don't make trouble." Zhou Yang smiled bitterly.

"I'm not here to cause trouble!" Zhang Chunhua pouted, "I just look at Zhou Xianghou's misfortune, I want to give you an idea."

"Then you have an idea to see how to capture Yangping Pass?" Zhou Yang said.

It’s not that I really plan to get some tricks from this little girl’s movie, but I just talked casually.

But Zhang Chunhua said with a serious expression: "I'm very serious now, and I'll tell you very seriously. I don't know how to conquer Yangping Pass, but if Brother Zhongda is here, it's definitely OK."

Zhou Yang took a deep breath and thought to himself that Sima Yi was not only an excellent politician, but also a talented general who was very capable of using people to use troops.

If he helps, I believe that I can find a way to conquer Yangping Pass.

Zhang Chunhua may just be blind admiring Sima Yi, but Zhou Yang is very clear about this person's talent.

Sima Yi is currently under house arrest in Muye, and Zhou Yang dared not go and invite him to meet Zhang Chunhua. However, the situation in front of him is so bad that he would either ask the wolf Gu Zi for help, or he could only run back to Xu Du to ask Cao Cao for advice.

The former was worried that Sima Yi would see the light of day again from now on, while the latter did not want to be looked down upon by Cao Cao.

However, it is not a solution to be frowning here every day.

"If it were your brother Zhongda here, what would he do?" Zhou Yang asked casually.

"I don't know." Zhang Chunhua shrugged helplessly.

"It means I didn't say it. Who knows where your brother Zhongda has hidden? Maybe it might not be possible that he was killed by a bandit more than ten years ago." Zhou Yang mocked.

"Nonsense!" Zhang Chunhua said angrily, "He must be alive."

"How do you know?"

"Anyway, they just know."

Zhou Yang did not intend to argue with her, so he had to hold his chin with his hands and continue to look at the difficult Yangping Pass.

Zhang Chunhua didn't leave, so he stayed by his side and watched.

The two of them came to the hillside every day, but they seemed to be together in a daze every day, saying nothing, and doing nothing, in fact they could not do anything.

It was not until a month passed that Zhou Yang decided to go home.

When Xiahou Yuan heard that he was about to withdraw his troops, he immediately stopped him and said, "Our army is now confronting Yangping Pass for more than a month. Although it is useless, it can also serve as a deterrent effect. Just like the Battle of Guandu back then, as long as you wait and see, Hanzhong will inevitably undergo changes over time."

Liu Ye said, "Otherwise, the longer the army and civilians in Hanzhong are united, the more unfavorable it will be for our army. I agree with Zhou Xianghou retreating."

Xiahou Yuan, Cao Xiu and other military generals did not support the withdrawal of the troops. They all expressed their willingness to continue to fight and said that no matter how much the price they paid, they would take Hanzhong.

Soon after, news came again in Xudu.

He was actually an envoy who came to deliver the order on behalf of Cao Cao, which means that Hanzhong must be taken down and that the troops must not be withdrawn.

Zhou Yang thought that even Cao Cao knew that he was determined to retreat, and he clearly specified that he must conquer Hanzhong. It seemed that there was no choice but to fight in this battle, so he had no choice.

More than a month later, Yangping Pass did not reveal any signs of defeat under the continuous attacks of Xiahou Yuan, Cao Xiu and other troops. Instead, he continuously increased his troops from Hanzhong and transported resources to motivate the soldiers guarding the pass, making Yangping Pass even more indestructible.

Xiahou Yuan came to Zhou Yang angrily and volunteered: "Give me a arch team and let Wen Lie take charge of the cover. I am willing to fight against the enemy at Yangping Pass under my own sect."

"General Xiahou please calm down." Liu Ye quickly persuaded.

"It's really not a solution to continue like this." Cao Xiu said.

Zhou Yang remained silent, but what he was thinking about was nothing to do with how to attack Yangping.

Maybe it was time to go to Sima Yi, not to invite him here, but you can hear what kind of hostility he has.

When everyone saw that he said nothing, they were even more anxious to rush.

"From now on, without my order, no one will be allowed to attack Yangping Pass and lose their troops." Finally, Zhou Yang stood up and said, "Please stay at the camp and wait for me to come back."

"Where are you going?" Xiahou Yuan said anxiously.

"Don't worry, General Xiahou." Zhou Yang said, "If I can't take back the countermeasures to capture Yangping Pass this time, I will take the initiative to hand over the commander-in-law in this battle to my father-in-law."

Now that's the case, no one dares to say anything anymore.

So, he drove to Makino on a red rabbit horse for several days.

On the day he set off, Zhang Chunhua quietly stared at him and followed him behind the horse.

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Yangqi said.

"No matter where you go, they just want to follow him." Zhang Chunhua seemed to feel something and said angrily, "Are you going to find Brother Zhongda?"

"I don't know where he is?" Zhou Yang immediately denied.

"Then where are you going?" Zhang Chunhua asked.

"Go to Luoyang," Zhou Yang lied, "Go to Mr. Xun for advice."

"There are so many things in the Handing Money House, which are related to the political issues of the use of the imperial court's currency. How can you find time to help you break the city?" Although Zhang Chunhua was innocent, he was not that easy to deceive. He immediately realized it, "Don't bluff others."

Zhou Yang did not dare to take her to find Sima Yi, but he couldn't get away at this time. In addition, Yangpingguan's military situation was so urgent that he dared not delay it.

So he had to let Zhang Chunhua ride on his horse and send it out together.

But I secretly thought in my heart that after arriving at Muye, I could just find someone to send her away.

When he arrived at Muye, Ling Yu saw that there was a little girl next to Zhou Yang, and then he glanced at him a few times.

Zhou Yang was too lazy to explain, so he just muttered a few words in his ear.

Ling Yu understood everything as soon as he heard this, and immediately ran to Zhang Chunhua and said happily: "Miss Zhang is right? Are you looking for your brother Zhongda?"

Zhang Chunhua nodded fiercely and said, "Yes!"

Ling Yu smiled and said, "Okay, I am the most familiar with this area. Zhou Xianghou has given special instructions that you must not neglect Miss Zhang, so I will take you around and walk around. Maybe you will meet your brother Zhongda, maybe."

Zhou Yang secretly praised this guy for being quite good at speaking. As long as Ling Yu looked at him and misled Zhang Chunhua to avoid getting close to Wright's home, she would never meet Sima Yi.

In fact, even if Zhang Chunhua knew that Sima Yi was hiding in Wright's house, she could not get in. Even if she could get in, she would not be able to find a secret passage. Even if she could find a secret passage, she would not be able to see Sima Yi smoothly.

In short, Sima Yi's whereabouts must not be discovered.

After Ling Yu took Zhang Chunhua away, Zhou Yang came to the ordinary-looking house in Wright alone.

After pushing the bed, Zhou Yang took great effort to move the stone slab behind the bed, thinking that Chu Zhao was so strong that he could move such a stone slab so easily.

After entering, I followed the passage and returned to the wide and bright basement again.

Wright had been waiting in there for a long time. When he saw Zhou Yang coming back, he immediately said happily: "Marty Zhouxiang, Marquis Zhouxiang, we have been away for more than ten years!"

Zhou Yang laughed and said, "Mr. Wright, please come and be fine!"

While speaking, his eyes scanned the basement at the same time.

There are more wealth here than before, and more strange people are under supervision.

It seems that the Roman merchant has never been idle. In addition to continuing to develop his own business, he is also constantly recruiting various talents.

But he once said that he had no intention of getting involved in the officialdom, otherwise he would be the most difficult opponent.

"It's a pity that I have the most important things in my life, otherwise I would have to taste Mr. Xueding Green Tea again!" Zhou Yang bowed and bowed.

"The future is long," Wright replied.

The two of them didn't say much. After some greetings, Fang Yuzhu led Zhou Yang to the door of the room.

The interior of the room is simple but unique. It seems that after Sima Yi and his friends moved to Muye, their lives have become better. Thanks to Wright's care, who has strong financial resources but will not be extravagant and wasteful.

As soon as Fang Yuzhu entered the door, she smiled and said, "Look at who is here?"

Sima Yi turned around and saw Zhou Yang, and immediately shouted happily: "Brother is finally here again. I miss you so much!"

Zhou Yang felt a little nervous when he heard this. It seemed that Ling Yu was right. Sima Yi did not return to normal, but became even more serious.

Just looking at the room full of women's supplies and a little rouge on his face, although he was obviously dressed as a man, his tone and voice were no different from that of a girl.

Fang Yuzhu said tactfully: "It is rare that Zhou Xianghou will come to see you, so let's take your leave first!"

Zhou Yang nodded and signaled her to retreat first, then sat down alone with Sima Yi, and first adapted to this new environment, and then said: "Are you... Xiaoyao? Or Zhongda now?"

Sima Yi looked at him strangely and smiled strangely, "What do you mean? They have always been Xiaoyao!"

Zhou Yang felt awesome in his heart and quickly said nonsense: "Yes! I'm confused. You and Zhongda look so similar. No wonder I often admit the wrong person. Xiaoyao won't blame him!"

Sima Yi looked at the men's outfit on her body and couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Today is Brother Zhongda's Day of worship! So they dressed in his appearance to show nostalgia. It seems that you miss your brother very much! Otherwise, how could you admit it wrong?"

Zhou Yang suddenly realized that tonight more than ten years ago was the day when Peng Yiyuan and others attacked the two children living in the slums in the south of Chang'an City.

That night, two brothers and sisters dressed in tatters only appeared Xiaoyao and were accidentally killed by Peng Yiyuan and others.
