The rising sun rises, and the heat recovers.

Dry, windless, and green in the wilderness.

The gates of Yangping Pass were wide open, and tens of thousands of troops rushed out, with flags and soldiers standing in full swing, which was extremely powerful.

In the wilderness five hundred steps away, teams of Western Liang cavalry galloped in the green grass, then lifted their reins and pulled their horses and lined up to wait.

Soon, the troops from both sides completed their formation, facing each other three hundred steps apart, ready to go.

"Hiss———The magical beast? The one who controls the magical beast is General Li Li?"

At first sight, a golden beast mount drove out in front of the Xiliang army. Zhao Wei, who was standing side by side with Zhang Lu, couldn't help but take a breath of air and pointed at the person opposite and asked in surprise.

"Uh! This, should be right?" Zhang Lu said in surprise.

"Oh?" Zhao Wei glanced at Zhang Lu and said suspiciously: "Is it possible that Brother Gongqi has never seen him even after fighting with Li Li several times?"

Hearing the doubts in Zhao Wei's words, Zhang Lusuo no longer concealed them and said frankly: "I don't hide it from the Chief Secretary, that's exactly what it is. The battle between Chen Cang was at night. At that time, Zhang had seen Li Li, but was not very clear. Then, I am ashamed that after Chen Cang was defeated, Zhang no longer cared about paying attention to Li Li's movements and never wanted to see him in his life." (The implication is: If I, Zhang Lu, had seen Li Li earlier, I, I, wouldn't have seen you, Zhao Wei, now. Hanzhong has been lost, and I, Zhang Lu, became a prisoner. Do you still need your Yizhou army to rush to help?)

"Brother Gongqi, don't blame me. Zhao is just curious and has no other intentions." Hearing that Zhang Lu's tone was unhappy, Zhao Wei bowed and apologized, and persuaded him kindly: "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Brother Gongqi does not need to be discouraged. This time, you and I will fight against the Xiliang army together, which will surely defeat Li Zhe's arrogance and avenge his previous shame."

"I hope this is the case if I borrow the words of the Chief Secretary." Zhang Lu responded casually, looking a little lacking in confidence, far less optimistic than Zhao Wei.

He glanced at Zhang Lu's gloomy expression. Zhao Wei smiled indifferently and whispered: "The two armies are facing each other. You and I should come out to meet Li Zhe, and be courtesy first and then soldiers to avoid being ridiculed. I wonder what Brother Gong Qi wants?"

"This, I won't go. The chief is respectful, so you can come forward." Zhang Lu stammered in a panic look.

Zhao Wei seemed to have expected that Zhang Lu would not go out of the formation, so he nodded happily and said, "Since that's the case, Brother Gongqi is here to rush into the formation, and I will meet this General Li when I go out of the formation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Wei lifted the reins lightly, rode a horse out of the formation, and headed straight for the two armies.

As soon as Zhao Wei left, Zhang Lu pulled his horse and turned back to his original formation. That is, the left wing of the army. The main force of the army that faced the Western Liang army this time was more than 40,000 Yizhou army, while Zhang Lu's army had only more than 15,000 people. In fact, they were just beating the edge drum. The person who really fought against Li Li was the generals of Yizhou and their army under him.

"Lord, this old man Zhao Wei is too arrogant. Since ancient times, the two armies have been facing each other and answered the commanders of both sides. How could it be his turn to interfere in the procession? On behalf of our Hanzhong Army, Yang Song said angrily indignantly.

Zhang Lu's expression was gloomy, and a look of shame and anger flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Since he wants to show off, let him go. These Yizhou officials stay in the southwest corner for many years, each of them is arrogant and does not take anyone seriously, as if others are rampant men. Only when he is the Yizhou army is an invincible army. This time, let these arrogant people learn the power of the Xiliang army, so that such arrogant people can know that there are people outside of the human world and have a good attitude to restrain their minds. Only by experiencing the power of the Xiliang army in person can they be completely awake and calm so that they can know that they can't be allowed to shout and act recklessly on my Zhang Lu's territory!"

Yang Songshen continued with consent, "What the lord said is very true. These Yizhou generals are indeed arrogant and arrogant. They have been arrogant in recent days. They have regarded my Hanzhong as their backyard and do whatever they want. If we had not requested the Yizhou army at this moment, we would have to rely on them to fight back the Xiliang army. I really don't want to serve these arrogant people. These people regard Yizhou as a country above the Celestial Empire. They regard us as a small foreign country, and their tone is bigger than the other, which is really annoying."

Zhang Lu had a deep understanding of Yang Song's words, but he was also suffering. His family knew his family's affairs. Nowadays, Hanzhong was in a worrying situation, Li Li's army was in a dilemma, and the entire Hanzhong was as dangerous as if it were a little wrong, and there would be a danger of overturning. Therefore, no matter how Zhang Lu didn't like the generals of Yizhou, he had to endure it for the time being. It shouldn't be absolutely necessary. Who made him provoke Li Li of Xiliang?

Because of this, Zhao Wei proposed that the Yizhou army take over the defense of Yangping Pass, and Zhang Lu immediately agreed; Zhang Ren suggested that the Yizhou army must have a meal of wine and meat every day, so Zhang Lu immediately ordered to provide full supply. As for other military supplies, there is no need to say more. There is a large amount of military and city-defense materials stored in Yangping Pass, which is enough for three months.

Therefore, Zhang Lu has now handed over Yangping Pass to the Yizhou Army to take over. At the same time, he also left a move, leaving his trusted adviser Yang Song and general Yang Bai in the pass, leaving behind 20,000 troops to guard against the Yizhou Army's stolen and stolen.

When he was in a state of discomfort, Zhang Lu sighed softly: "People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Be patient and wait until they are repelled from the Xiliang army. Alas????????"

———————————————————

"Please give a speech in front of the formation, and Zhao Wei, the chief of the governor of Yi, is waiting for the grand ceremony!"

"Roar——" Before Zhao Wei finished speaking, he saw a golden shadow galloping towards him. When the shadow gradually became clear, a beast roar shocked his ears, and Venus appeared in front of him, and he almost turned over and fell off his horse.

"You are Zhao Wei, the governor of Yiguo?"

"Uh! That's right, just right? Is the Lord the General?"

"I think no one dares to overthrow the name of this general." The King of Jinniu Beasts stopped in front of the formation, and Li Li narrowed his eyes slightly, with great might and looked down on the world, making Zhao Wei dare not look at him.

"I have heard of the name of Zhao Changshi. Seven years ago, I was the Grand Historian, and then resigned from his official position and followed Liu Yan into Shu. Last year, he supported Liu Zhang ascended the throne. So far, he has assisted Liu Yan and his son for two generations. He is quite famous in Yizhou, with one person above ten thousand people. He has been a long-standing official and has extraordinary knowledge. In this case, I believe you can also see that Zhang Lu, Hanzhong robbed Liangzhou for no reason and attempted to attack Chang'an, which was actually a rebellion. For the purpose of rebels, why do you still want to help the evildoer?" (At this time, all the princes in the world did not know that the emperor Liu Xie and all the officials had fled Chang'an, and those who were informed were limited to the main generals of the Western Liang Army and the governors of various states.)

Zhao Wei had expected Li Li's rebuke, so he said without hesitation: "The general is in his opinion. Hanzhong County is originally a place under my jurisdiction. There are people who are plotting against rebellion in the territory. My lord Liu Yizhou naturally cannot stand by and severely punish disobedient ministers, clean up the doors, rectify the officials, and appease the people's livelihood, and give the general and the court a satisfactory explanation. Therefore, Zhao came here specifically for this matter, but unexpectedly, the general seemed to have the intention of occupying Hanzhong County in front of the pass. In view of this, we should not sit idly by and watch, and we had to confront the general before the pass.

However, our lord Liu Yizhou and the general were old friends, but they really did not want their friends to turn against each other. They met each other in war, so they sent their subordinates to report the whole story to the general, turn swords into jade and silk, and reconcile them. For example, the general was grateful for the suffering of the people of Hanzhong, and asked the general to withdraw their troops for the time being, allowing us to eliminate the rebellion, rectify the Hanzhong administration, and then submit to the court, which would definitely satisfy the general. I wonder what the general is willing to respect?"

"What a clever one's face!" Li Li pondered and looked at Zhao Wei with a smile: "I have heard that Liu Yan of Yizhou has two arms, one martial artist, and two martial artists. Wu Yi and Wu Ziyuan, and the scholar is you Zhao Wei. When you see him today, you are indeed famous. Zhang Lu acted in a rebellious manner and gathered people to plot against him. If the court ignored him, what is the power of the Han Dynasty? As a general of the world's military and horses, the prime minister of the current dynasty, how could he allow such a slut invaders to cause trouble? Just Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, why should I deal with others?"

"This,,," Zhao Wei changed his expression and said anxiously: "It seems that the general insists on disregarding the face of our Lord Liu Yizhou?"

Before he could finish his words, Li Li interrupted loudly, "Is it possible that Liu Zhang is not a minister of the Han Dynasty, and Yizhou is no longer under Wang Hua? In the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, do we still need to obtain Liu Zhang's approval when we fight against rebellion? Therefore, Zhao Wei, you don't have to make a fuss, nor do you need to carry Liu Zhang out as a pretext. Do you think this general can't be bullied? But????? This matter is not without room for negotiation. Since you are so cleared and give this general a satisfactory explanation, then you should show your sincerity and hand over the three Hanzhong Zhang Lu, Yang Song and Yang Bai. This general will not blame him and return to the court immediately!"

Zhao Wei jumped when he heard this, his face was extremely gloomy. He turned his head to look at Zhang Lu behind him. Although he was more than a hundred steps away, he could still see Zhang Lu's face as red dates and his anger was filled with anger. In an instant, he suddenly felt that the situation was not good. The excuse he had racked his brains and finally came up with seemed counterproductive. He hit the stone on his feet, which was not worth the loss!

"The General, let me give you some time. The plot of rebellion needs to be verified. Don't act hastily?????"

"Stop!" Li Li shouted violently, scaring Zhao Wei to the point of being silent, and his words came to an abrupt end. Then, Li Li scolded loudly: "In front of the two armies, more than 100,000 soldiers were in front of you. You were so clever and arrogant, and you really thought that these more than 100,000 soldiers were all three-year-old children. Do you just talk nonsense? If you really care about the suffering of the people in Hanzhong and avoid being misled by the creatures, there is no need to say much, and immediately take down Zhang Lu and the other three. Such a war will disappear invisibly, and your master Liu Zhang's tolerant and kind heart will be revealed. Otherwise, you will be a rebel thief who is abducted and rebellious, and this general will definitely kill you and others!"

Zhao Wei was distracted at this time, his cheeks were red and he was panting, and he no longer had the calmness he had before. After Li Li finished speaking, he immediately turned around, threw a word in anger, and then left: "Since that's the case, why should I say too much? The general is to attack. With my Yizhou army here, the general should not step into Yangping Pass!"
