"Damn it, am I missing something?"

After escaping from Nanzheng City, Yan Pu felt that he seemed to have overlooked a lot of things.

Yangping Pass and Mianyang have all been captured by Liu Zhe. With Liu Zhe's army speed, there should not be only 10,000 troops outside Nanzheng City.

Because this is not consistent with common sense, who would only send an army of ten thousand to attack the capital?

When Zhang Wei and Yang Ren failed to attack, Liu Zhe could definitely know how many troops there were in Nan Zheng from the prisoners. If Liu Zhe summoned a large army and attacked Nan Zheng with all his strength, Nan Zheng would never be able to defend it.

Liu Zhe assigned 10,000 troops to Nanzheng, and never allowed them to attack. Either they were short of troops or had other conspiracies.

Liu Zhe could not have insufficient troops. Even if he had to send heavy troops to protect Yangping Pass and Mianyang, he could not have sent only 10,000 troops to Nanzheng, so there must be a conspiracy.

Especially when Liu Zhe colluded with Yang Song, and Yang Song kept persuading Zhang Lu to give up Nan Zheng, Yan Pu was even more sure that Liu Zhe had a conspiracy.

"Is it the best way to defend Nan Zheng to the death?" Yan Pu said to himself, but then he wanted to reject his idea.

If you defend Nanzheng to the death, it would be a dead end. Zhang Wei and Yang Ren failed to attack Yangping Pass. Nanzheng was short of troops. Once Liu Zhe's army came, it would be a matter of time before Nanzheng City was broken.

Is it a good idea to give up Nanzheng and escape to Bazhong?

Of course not. Yan Pu knew that this was a last resort. Now Yan Pu only hopes that his plan can be implemented successfully and gave Liu Zhe a fierce move so that he can reduce the difficulties of Zhang Lu returning to Hanzhong in the future.

However, when Yan Pu heard that there were no pursuers behind him, he became worried. Now he didn't know whether his plan would succeed.

"Yan Pu, what should I do?" Zhang Lu also knew that there were no pursuers behind him, so he hurriedly asked Yan Pu what to do.

If he didn't give Liu Zhe a ruthless person here, even if he escaped to Bazhong, he wouldn't be able to sleep well at night. Only by teaching Liu Zhe a lesson and letting Liu Zhe know his power will he feel better.

"Master, wait a little longer."

Yan Pu was unsure. He was not sure if Liu Zhe would be fooled at this time. He could only comfort Zhang Lu: "Maybe the enemy has not discovered that we have withdrawn from Nanzheng. After they find out, they will definitely catch up quickly. Then our opportunity will come."

"Master, you might as well retreat to Bazhong first."

Yan Pu said to Zhang Lu again: "After the subordinates brought their men to ambush Liu Zhe, they rushed to Bazhong to meet with the lord."

"Need not."

Zhang Lu refused, and he waved his hand and said, "I want to see Liu Zhe's embarrassing appearance here with my own eyes."

However, it took another two days to wait.

Zhang Lu received the information from his subordinates. Yang's family, who was staying in Nanzheng, opened the city gate and welcomed Liu Zhe's army in. Liu Zhe took Nanzheng without any effort.

"Damn, damn!"

When Zhang Lu heard that the Yang family had betrayed him, he was furious and roared in the big tent in anger: "I knew the Yang family was unreliable, damn, hateful!"

Yan Pu was speechless next to him, knowing that it was unreliable, so why didn't I let me eradicate the Yang family at that time? And Yang Bai recommended himself to stay to defend the city, but did you agree?

"Lord, Yang Bo will regret what he did." Yan Pu could only comfort Zhang Lu like this.

"Yes, he will definitely regret it." Zhang Lu said gritting his teeth.

"Lord, Yang Bo's son is in the army..." Yan Pu reminded Zhang Lu.

After Zhang Lu planned to give up Nanzheng, he took the main officials in Nanzheng City and their families to evacuate.

At that time, Yang Bai was also on the list of leaving the city, but Yang Bai recommended himself and said that he would defend the city for Zhang Lu. At the same time, in order to win the trust of Zhang Lu, he asked his son to take a group of people to follow Zhang Lu, but in fact he used his son as a hostage.

Seeing Yang Bai doing this, Zhang Lu was very satisfied and agreed to let Yang Bai guard Nan Zheng for him.

"Kill!" Zhang Lu roared angrily when he heard this.

"Yes!" Yan Pu was delighted. His purpose was achieved. He didn't need to suggest doing this. He just needed to remember that Yang Bai's son was still in the army.

"Where are the pursuers? Did Liu Zhe's pursuers come?" After ordering to behead Yang Bai's son and show them to the public, Zhang Lu asked Yan Pu again. Now he was eager to teach Liu Zhe a lesson at this time and shock the Yang family.

He was not satisfied with killing Yang Bai's son Zhang Lu. He needed greater action so that the Yang family knew that even if Zhang Lu was in a downturn, he was not at the mercy of others.

Zhang Lu's eyes were full of eagerness and expectation, looking at Yan Pu.

However, Yan Pu's shaking his head made Zhang Lu feel disappointed.

"Why?"

Zhang Lu was furious and asked, "Why didn't Liu Zhe send pursuers?"

Did Liu Zhe plan to occupy Hanzhong and ignore him? Is this a kind of contempt? He knew that he had escaped, but he didn't come to chase him, so he didn't take him seriously.

Zhang Lu was so angry that his body was trembling. Being despised was far more humiliating than being killed.

"Damn it, I must make Liu Zhe regret it."

Zhang Lu said in a hatred: "I must teach Liu Zhe a lesson."

"Lord, but..." Yan Pu stopped talking.
