    "Young man, I will let you know how powerful I am today, and I will take your head tomorrow!!"

    After Yan Yan scolded him, he rode away.  Wei Yan laughed angrily and hurried behind him, cursing Yan Yan all the way.  Yan Yan sneered in his heart when he saw that Wei Yan had fallen victim to his aggressive tactics, and fled all the way. Zhang Ren was also overjoyed when he saw Wei Yan chasing after him, and quickly ordered his soldiers to retreat.  Opposite in the northwest formation, there was a sudden turmoil. Wen Han quickly led the horse and infantry troops to cover up and kill them.  In front, Yan Yan and Wei Yan were fighting and walking away.  After leading the Northwest Army to cross the mountain valley, General Zhang Ren led the rear army to the front and set up camp again. He led the generals to fight with the Northwest Army in the hope that two soldiers would ambush the Northwest Army and encircle the Northwest Army.

    Unexpectedly, the soldiers and horses he had ambushed were being attacked by the elite soldiers led by Zhao Yun. Most of them rushed into the valley entrance, blocked the vehicles on the mountain road, and set fire to the vehicles. The valley was covered with vegetation and smoke, and the soldiers could not get out.  Ma Chao and Li Yan rushed and collided randomly in the smoke and fire, but accidentally injured many soldiers and horses of their own army.

    Ma Chao's heart was on fire. He was afraid that Zhang Ren would make a mistake, so he didn't care anymore and led a group of troops to the camp first.

    At the same time, Wen Han led the generals into a fierce conflict. Wei Yan was like a wild beast, rushing into the crowd of Xichuan, as if entering an uninhabited territory, no one could stop him.  Yan Yan tried his best to resist, but Wei Yan's sword was fierce, and he drove Yan Yan away with one strike, and went straight to take Zhang Ren.  Seeing how powerful Wei Yan was, Zhang Ren turned pale with fright, reined in his horse and ran away.  Yan Yan followed closely, and Wei Yan had no choice but to turn around and fight with Yan Yan again.

    Seeing Zhang Ren trying to escape, Wenhan shouted loudly.

    "Whoever can kill Zhang Guyi will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and be granted the title of a thousand households. If he can capture Zhang Guyi, he will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and be granted the title of a thousand households!!!"

    It is said that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. As soon as Wenhan's reward order came out, the officers and soldiers of the Northwest Army suddenly seemed to have red eyes and rushed towards Zhang Ren desperately.  The Xichuan army could not resist and was defeated. Zhang Ren fought desperately to clear a way.

    As he was fleeing, a white light suddenly flashed by, and a general wearing brilliant silver armor came to intercept him on horseback.  When Zhang Ren saw that person, he was immediately frightened out of his wits. This person was his junior brother Zhao Zilong.

    Zhao Yun's sword eyes shot out two divine lights, and Pegasus flew straight towards Zhang Ren.  Zhang Ren fled in a hurry. Zhao Yun followed closely behind him and stabbed Zhang Ren in the back.  Zhang Ren heard the loud noise and subconsciously avoided it.  Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun's spear style suddenly changed from stabbing to sweeping, and Zhang Ren was knocked off his horse with one shot.  Zhang Ren shouted loudly and rolled to the ground, his helmet flying off and his hair disheveled.

    Zhao Yun shouted loudly and powerfully.

    "Second senior brother, Liu Jiyu is incompetent and cowardly, and he is not a wise master. Why don't you surrender early? With your ability, the military princes will treat him with the courtesy of a national soldier!!!"

    Zhang Ren¡¯s eyes widened, he stood up angrily and shouted angrily.

    "If you want to kill, just kill, no need to waste words!!! We, the Xichuan soldiers, only have beheaded generals, and there will never be any traitors!!!"

    Zhang Ren's whole body was full of calmness, lightness and uprightness. Zhao Yun's expression changed when he heard this. After sighing secretly, he suddenly slapped his horse and came to catch Zhang Ren.

    At this moment, a roar like a roar of a lion burst out.

    "Zhao Zilong!!! Don't be so presumptuous!!!"

    I saw Ma Chao beating the horses wildly and running out to kill them.  Zhao Yun's expression changed, and he held a gun to kill Ma Chao.  At the same time, the troops led by Ma Chao arrived and rushed to Zhang Ren's side to protect him.  Zhang Ren got on a horse, and the horse was so fast that he asked the soldiers to protect Zhang Ren and leave.  Zhao Yun was fighting with Ma Chao while trying to escape from sight, anxious and angry.  But Ma Chao was like an unbreakable giant wall, blocking Zhao Yun's way.

    With Ma Chao¡¯s courage, Zhang Ren finally escaped.  Ma Chao and Zhao Yun fought for a while, then broke away and fled.  Zhao Yun looked at Ma Chao's back, his eyes filled with overwhelming anger.

    Although the Northwest Army failed to capture Zhang Ren, it achieved a great victory, annihilating nearly 10,000 Xichuan soldiers and horses, and capturing nearly 6,000 to 7,000 Xichuan soldiers and horses.

    Zhang Ren and Ma Chao hurriedly led the remaining soldiers to Anhan. They rushed to the gate of Anhan City and called the door.  I saw a drum sound from the city, and a general led the army out and shouted.

    "I, Pang Lingming, have been in Anhan for a long time!"

    Hearing this, Zhang Ren felt as if his soul had left his body. He subconsciously patted the horse and turned it away.  Pang De led his troops to pursue him, but Ma Chao resisted Pang De regardless of the fact that his men and horses were exhausted.  Pang De and Ma Chao fought for dozens of rounds. Ma Chao was almost exhausted and couldn't resist, so he retreated in defeat.  Pang De sent his troops to cover up the enemy, but Zhang Ren lost many of his troops and horses. He fled to Wakou Pass at night, gathered the defeated troops, and could not escape.

    Wenhan was naturally overjoyed when he captured Anhan. He rewarded the army, ordered them to rest and recuperate, and appeased the people. It was no problem.  A few days later, Wen Han followed Li You's advice and sent Pang De and Wei Yan to lead 20,000 troops to capture Wakou Pass.

    Pang De and Wei Yan led the newly victorious army and wanted to take advantage of the situation to pursue and attack for several days. Zhang Ren strictly ordered the soldiers to hold on and not to go out to attack. Xichuan soldiers stayed at the pass and fired arrows and stones to block the offensive of the Northwest Army.  Pound meetsIf we can't attack the pass, it will be difficult for a while, so we will retreat twenty miles and set up camp.

    After arranging the soldiers, Pang De and Wei Yan led dozens of riders to patrol the paths on both sides, thinking of ways to break through the barrier.  At this moment, Pang De's eyes suddenly turned to several men and women on the side of the road. He saw them each carrying a small bag and climbing on the vines on the remote mountain road.

    Pang De's lion eyes condensed, and two gleams shot out from his eyes, and he pointed his whip at Wei Yan on his horse.

    "If you want to seize Wakou Pass, it's only up to these few people!"

    Wei Yan looked a little suspicious when he heard the words. Before he could react, he heard Pang De calling the sergeant to tell him.

    "Don't scare the people, just call those people. I will give him a reward later."

    The sergeant took the order and quickly called the common people to the horse.  Pound first reassured him with kind words, and then asked him softly where he came from.  the people replied.

    "A certain group of people are all residents of Hanzhong and want to return home. I heard that the army was fighting and the official roads were blocked. I had no choice but to go to Hanzhong from Zitong Mountain and return home."

    Pang De was overjoyed and asked again.

    "If we take this road, how far is it to Wakou Pass?"

    The few people looked at each other, and then one of them answered.

    "The general is not a resident here, no wonder he doesn't know. Just walk along the Zitong Mountain path, and at the end you will be behind Wakou Pass!"

    "Hahaha!!! It's a big deal!!!"

    Pang De laughed loudly, then led the people into the village and gave them food and wine as rewards.  The people were happy and stayed in the village temporarily as ordered.  Pang De then gave instructions to Wei Yan.

    "Tomorrow you will only lead your troops to attack the pass, and kill Zhang Ren until he is in a panic and has no time to take care of it. After I personally lead the Qingqi out of Zitong Mountain to attack the pass, I will kill him in time to catch him off guard. In this way, Wakou Pass can be broken!"  !¡±

    On the other side, since that day, Zhang Ren's cleverness turned out to be a mistake. He was defeated by the Northwest Army, suffered heavy losses in troops and horses, and lost the city of Anhan. He knew in his heart that it was difficult to resist the Northwest Army's offensive, so he sent people to rush back to Xichuan for rescue.

    That night, Zhang Ren was reading the military strategy on the balcony in Guanzhong. Suddenly Ma Chao came to see him and admonished Zhang Ren.

    "General Zhang, the current situation is not good. Wen Bufan's army may come at any time. It is better to abandon this pass first and go to Jiameng Pass. By then, we will catch up with the lord's reinforcements. If we join forces to defend, we can defeat them.  Northwest bandit army!¡±

    Hearing this, Zhang Ren hesitated, pondered for a while, and then shook his head and refused.

    "Although what Meng Qi said is reasonable. However, our army's war situation is not yet critical enough to abandon the pass. We will hold on for a while longer. If the battle situation does not go well, we will abandon the pass and retreat. If we can hold on, we should die with our lives.  Stand guard and wait for reinforcements to arrive."

    Ma Chao frowned slightly. Since Zhang Ren had already reached this point, he couldn't persuade him any more and bowed out as a courtesy.

    At the same time, in the northwest village, Pang De ordered the people to lead the way. He chose three thousand Qingqi, entered the small road, and rushed to Zitong Mountain overnight.  Early the next morning, Wei Yan led all his troops to attack at the pass.  Wei Yan seemed to want to break through the pass in one battle, and personally commanded from the front line, while the northwest soldiers attacked frantically.  Zhang Ren heard a loud sound that shook the gate where he was sitting. Knowing that the Northwest Army was coming to kill again, he quickly put on his horse and went up to the gate to take command.

    Wei Yan led his troops to attack and fought from day to night. Just when both armies were nearly exhausted, soldiers suddenly came to report at the gate.

    "Report!!! There is a fire on the four or five roads behind the pass. I don't know where the soldiers are coming!!!"

    When Zhang Ren heard this, he was immediately shocked and at a loss.

    "The matter has come to this, if we don't abandon the pass, our army will definitely be annihilated!!! General Zhang, please retreat to the path, I will stay here and wait for you!!"

    Ma Chao stood up, shouted angrily, and led a group of soldiers and horses to fight out with guns. Wei Yan led his own troops to meet him.  Ma Chao had few soldiers and was quickly surrounded and killed by Wei Yan's tribe.  Zhang Ren saw countless firelights approaching from behind the pass, and without any further care, he led his generals to the path in a hurry.  The horses are unable to move, and the generals are exhausted.  Later, Pang Defei was in a hurry to pursue him, so Zhang Ren had to abandon his horse on the mountain and take the generals to find a path to escape before he could escape. He only had about ten people with him.

    Later, Pang De saw Zhang Ren escaping in the mountains. Because he was not familiar with the terrain, he did not dare to advance lightly. He led his army to the back of the pass and attacked Wei Yan from front to back.  Ma Chao couldn't resist it, so he just relied on his super bravery to fight his way out and escape.

    When Zhang Ren lost Wakou Pass again, all his troops abandoned it and fled to Jiameng Pass.  At this point, Zhang Ren's 50,000 soldiers and horses, nearly 30,000 soldiers were annihilated by the Northwest Army, and more than 20,000 soldiers were captured by the Northwest Army.  Wenhan was overjoyed to receive the good news from Pang De, and immediately sent someone to reward him with food and wine. Pang De and Wei Yan even received heavy rewards.

    Zhang Ren's soldiers and horses guarding Dongchuan were almost extinct. Wen Han took advantage of the situation and used the power of thunder to divide his troops to seize Dongchuan counties. Seeing that almost 80% of Dongchuan land fell into Wen Han's hands.  Zhang Ren was in a hurry for several days to report to Chengdu, Xichuan.

      At the same time that Dongchuan was raging with war.  The other side is in Jingzhou.  Liu Bei decided to station himself in Shu, so he invited all the civil and military officials under his command to discuss the matter of traveling westward.

    Zhuge Liang attended and said with his hands in hand.

    "We must not lose the important territory of Jingzhou. At this time, Jingzhou is surrounded by enemies on all sides. Wen Bufan even gathered heavy troops to guard the borders of Shangyong and Dongchuan to guard against our invasion of Shu. My lord, this journey to the west is going to be difficult everywhere!!  Lord, are you ready?"

    Liu Bei's face condensed when he heard this, and he said without any fear.

    "Kong Ming, don't worry. I, Liu Xuande, have been fighting on the battlefield all my life, and I have never seen such dangerous situations. No matter what Kong Ming arranges, I will definitely obey!!"

    "If the lord wants to go to Shu, Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Wen Han must not know about it, otherwise they will be jealous and want to eliminate our forces. Therefore, if the lord goes to Shu, he can only bring Huang Zhong, Hua Xiong, and Taishi Ci with him  The three of them, together with the two brave generals, together with Kuai Liang, cannot lead more than 300 troops!"

    "It's simply ridiculous!!! Not to mention whether the people in Xichuan can frame my brother in the future, at this time Wen Bufan is leading a hundred thousand soldiers and horses to invade Shu. My brother is a man of ten thousand gold, how can he deal with it with only three hundred soldiers and horses!!  Isn¡¯t this sending a sheep into the tiger¡¯s mouth!? What¡¯s your intention!?

    Pan Feng was furious when he heard this, pointed his finger at Zhuge Liang and cursed angrily.  Zhang Fei glared with strange eyes and roared through gritted teeth.

    "I had known that you, a wild man in the mountains, had no good intentions, and now you must have deliberately wanted to kill your brother and take over the power!!!"
