Chapter 26: Isolate and Helpless

Late at night, Zhou Yang leaned down on the roof of Yanpu and gently moved the tiles on the house a little away.

Then he collected his mind and based on his superhuman hearing, all the sounds in the room were put into his ears.

I heard Yan Pu walking back and forth, and the sound of footsteps seemed anxious and anxious, obviously waiting for some important person to appear.

After waiting for a long time, it was almost three o'clock when I heard Yan Pu hurriedly open the door again.

But when he opened the door, he did not close it immediately.

There are only two possibilities: either Yan Pu was killed or the visitor was beyond his expectations, so it was difficult for a while and he didn't have time to close the door.

On the contrary, after the man helped him close the door, he said in a heavy and powerful voice: "Don't think it's strange."

Zhou Yang recognized the voice as soon as he heard it. The visitor was Pang De who had drunk with him. Why was it him? He was originally guessing that Yang Song and other talents should be right, but in the end, Pang De, who was no longer willing to serve Zhang Lu and Ma Chao, came.

This general with his own principles would be very angry with Yan Pu, Yang Song and others?

At this time, he had no time to think about it, but could only continue to eavesdrop on the conversation coming from the room.

"The person Mr. Yan is waiting for will probably never come again." Pang De said in a cold tone, "But the person Mr. Yan doesn't want to see the most will definitely come to you again within the next few days."

Zhou Yang on the rooftop thought after hearing this, and the person Yan Pu didn't want to see the least should be me.

Although I don’t know the reason, it can be seen from meeting him today that Yan Pu not only does not want to see him, but is even afraid of seeing him Zhou Yang.

As for the person he is waiting for, who will it be?

"You are lying!" Although Yan Pu spoke firmly, it was even more difficult to conceal his fear. "He is as deep as the sea of ​​grudges as Cao Gong. If he doesn't use this battle at Yangping Pass to attack the Wei army, when will he wait?"

Zhou Yang knew who it was when he heard it. It turned out that the person Yan Pu had been waiting for was Ma Chao.

This means that Zhang Lu has never imprisoned Ma Chao.

"Just." Pang De said, "Do you think Ma Chao is a good person and will let you and Zhang Taishou use it for nothing? Besides, that day, Zhang Taishou also agreed to pass the Zhouxiang Hou and imprison the rebel Ma Chao."

"That's just perfunctory words, do you actually believe it?" Yan Pu seemed to have found a life-saving straw and regained some confidence. "It seems that General Pang still doesn't know Shi Jun very well!"

"Pang really doesn't understand," Pang De said, "But do you understand Ma Chao?"

"It seems that I and General Pang are indeed not prone to talking, but I just don't know what happened when I come to visit late at night?" Yan Pu chuckled.

"It is to tell you something that Yang Song has been bribed." Pang De said lightly.

"Why do General Pang come to tell me late at night?" Yan Pu was not surprised. "Yang Song is a villain who is profit-oriented, so why bother with someone to buy him?"

"Don't sir want to know who bought Yang Song?"

“No need to know.”

"But I must tell the sir, otherwise it would be a waste of time tonight, because of the person who bought Yang Song," Pang De deliberately paused for a moment, but saw that the other party actually wanted to know, so he lowered his voice and said, "It is the person that sir who least wants to see."

"Zhou Yang?" Yan Pushe said, "I've known this a long time ago."

"I thought it was Zhou Xianghou who bribed Yang Song before," Pang De said again, "But until the person you want to see won't come, I realized that the person who really bribed Yang Song was the one who made Ma Chao never come to see his husband again."

"Who is it?" Yan Pu asked nervously.

"It was the envoys sent from Bashu." Pang De pronounced the name word by word, "Zhuge Liang."

"What?" Yan Pu said in a lost voice.

Even Zhou Yang, who was hiding on the roof, was shocked all over when he heard it.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang kept operating in secret and left a hand to put Ma Chao in the cage.

No wonder he never paid attention to the Xu Du edict brought by Zhang Chunhua or the debate during the Han River.

It turned out that he had already taken the lead and bought Yang Song, and used Yang Song to pull Ma Chao to Liu Bei's side to serve him.

However, Zhou Yang was not worried about this because he knew very clearly that since Ma Chao arrived in Shu Kingdom, he had no contributions. The reason was that even Liu Bei was afraid of his character.

Therefore, he has always given him fame, fortune and status, and even listed him as one of the Five Tiger Generals as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, but he was named a governor of Liangzhou.

In name, he was asked to take over his father Ma Teng's position, but Liangzhou was a power of Wei at that time, so this Liangzhou governor was just a nameless title and did not pose much threat to the later Cao Wei.

However, when Ma Chao was pulled over by Zhuge Liang at this time, it means that Yang Song had completely defected to Shu.

"Why are you here to tell me this?" Yan Pu accepted this reality for a long time. "Do you come to see me for a joke, or come here to remind me with kindness?"

"None are not." Pang De said frankly, "I just want to tell Mr. Yan another thing. Just as I said just now, Zhuge Liang will come to you soon."

"Since General Pang's words, you don't seem to want me to go to Shu like Yang Song?" Yan Pu guessed.

"I am just a person who is sympathetic and pity for Mr. Yan." Pang Dedao.

Zhou Yang suddenly realized in his heart that as he said, both Pang De and Yan Pu were actually isolated and helpless in Hanzhong.

Now, in addition to Yang Ren and Yang Ang, Yang Song has more support from Shu, and he is close to Zhou Yang. His relationship is quite ambiguous and he can change his position at any time.

However, Yan Pu was always determined to get Ma Chao's support, but Ma Chao now turned to Shu.

There was no last glimmer of hope, just like Pound, there was no one to rely on.

The only choice is Zhou Yang, who is also isolated in Hanzhong, as they are.

Moreover, Zhou Yang represented Cao Cao, and he was also an envoy sent by the court to read the edict. Even though he might lose his life at any time in Hanzhong, it may not be the best choice for Yan Pu and Pang De.

"Mr. Cao Gong is only talented. Regardless of his background and character, Zhou Xianghou is even more righteous." Pang De said, "Isn't such a person worthy of our loyalty to him?"

"General Pang!" Yan Pu was shocked.

"If sir is still shaking, then go to the same team as Yang Song tomorrow!" Pang De resolutely walked out of the room and finally said, "When the time comes, Zhuge Liang will definitely convince the sir with his 3-inch tongue."

"How do you know?" Yan Pu couldn't help asking.

"Because he has come to find me." Pang De paused for a moment, then left alone.

Zhou Yang on the roof was very moved when he heard this. The character of Pang De and Ma Chao was indeed a world of difference.

It seems that we did not come to eavesdrop tonight, nor did we come to find Yan Pu in vain.

What decision will Yan Pu make in the end? It will be decided tomorrow.

Zhou Yang quietly left the roof, followed the cover of fake stone trees, and left Yan Pu's residence easily again.

When he returned to his room, he immediately told Sima Yi about everything tonight.

After hearing this, Sima Yi smiled and said, "It seems that I did not overestimate Zhuge Liang. This guy is quite serious and concise. He doesn't care about anything on the surface, but when it comes to a critical moment, he will take decisive action and one son will determine the winner or lose."

Zhou Yangqi said: "Are these things Zhongda expected?"

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "I am not that amazing. But during the banquet and Hanshui, his status among these five messengers seemed to be quite good. Therefore, I always felt that this person was very difficult and there must be some tricks."

Zhou Yang suddenly said, "So you let me go to find Yan Pu just before Zhuge Liang."

Sima Yi said: "But General Pang De's firm position is beyond my expectations. This person must be reused in the future."

Zhou Yang agreed: "Of course. If it weren't for him, maybe Yan Pu would become the second Yang Song tomorrow."

Sima Yi said: "But we still should not take it lightly. Don't forget that there is also the young scholar among the Wu envoy. This person looks like he is entertaining himself and has nothing to do with it. In fact, he is a very cunning person."

Zhou Yang said: "I have always been paying attention to this young scholar named Lu Xun. If you have the opportunity to get rid of him, it will undoubtedly cause a very serious blow to the Eastern Wu."

Sima Yi showed a horrified look when he heard this, and looked at Zhou Yang with his eyes fixed on him. After a long time, he said, "I didn't expect my brother to be such a cruel and ruthless person."

Zhou Yang sighed inwardly that he had revealed his mouth. How could such a thing be told in front of Sima Yi?

In fact, it is precisely because I have the advantage of predicting history that I have long planned to use the simplest and direct means to eliminate Liu Bei and Sima Yi, two stumbling blocks that Cao Wei unified the world.

But every time things always go against his expectations, beyond his expectations.

Now that he said something similar to getting rid of Sima Yi, why don’t he show a strange look on his face?

But just as Zhou Yang was about to change his words and talk nonsense, Sima Yi suddenly smiled and said, "It's worthy of being a brother. Only such a person can do big things! People like brother the most."

Zhou Yang almost fell into glasses, laughed dryly, and quickly changed the subject and said, "Then should we do something now?"

Sima Yi smiled confidently and said, "Prepare the edict sent by Sister Chunhua. It should come in handy in the next few days. If nothing unexpected happens, the Hanzhong incident will be determined within these few days."

Zhou Yang thought for a long time before saying, "Okay, I understand, then we will start to deal with any battle tomorrow in our best condition!"

After saying this nonsense, I realized that Sima Yi's eyes were always looking at him.

He felt very comfortable in his heart, but he didn't feel any timid at all. However, it was this kind of enjoyment that made Zhou Yang feel even more astonished.
