"What? Your General Meng has changed his mind?" Shi Bao asked with a smile.

Meng He quickly nodded vigorously and said, "I dare not hide it from the Grand Sima. In fact, we General Meng was very moved last time. But we General Meng didn't dare to make up this decision because of the fact that the latter general treated him well. But General Meng never expected that Cuan Gu would be so mean and ruthless. Not only did he beat him forty military sticks, but he still had to check what else to do. We General Meng wanted to kill our General Meng. We General Meng was so angry, so we decided to accept your surrender from Grand Sima."

"Check the account? Fighting the military stick? What does it mean?"

Shi Bao asked knowingly, but Meng He quickly told Shi Bao the details of the matter, and said with a sad face: "Grand Sima, now you should know why our General Meng changed his mind, right? Although I don't know how much instant noodles and lunch meat were burned out in a fire, there were too many people involved in the previous incident. As long as the news leaked a little, our General Meng would end up falling to the ground. Therefore, we General Meng had no choice but to come and ask Grand Sima, you have to take it in."

Shi Bao smiled but didn't say anything, but just looked at Meng Gan's handwritten letter carefully. Seeing that although the letter was typos, the content was similar to Meng He's oral statement. He also asked him to send troops to take over Yang'an Pass at the third update of the next night. Shi Bao was even more happy when he saw it, but his face remained silent. After a little calculation, Shi Bao suddenly shouted: "Come, take this man down! Push it and chop it!"

The personal soldiers in the tent sang their promise and immediately stepped forward to hold Menghe. Menghe panicked when he saw it and quickly shouted: "Grand Sima spares life, Grand Sima spares life, what mistake did the villain make? Why did he suddenly kill the villain?"

"Why do you want to kill you?" Shi Bao snorted coldly and said, "Meng Gan used a bitter trick to send you to surrender, trying to lure our army to send troops to attack Yang'an Guanzhong and you are ambushing you. Why do you think I want to kill you?"

"Unforgive! Unjust!" Meng He shouted quickly: "Sima, you misunderstood. It's not a false surrender, it's a real surrender. Our General Meng is really surrendering! He is not lying to you! Cuan Gu is really checking the accounts, and you are about to find out your eyes!"

"If you don't tell the truth, you're dead!" Shi Bao shouted again and shouted: "Pull it out and kill it!"

The personal soldiers sang their promise and immediately took Meng He and walked out. Shi Bao quickly gave Shi Qiao a wink. Shi Qiao understood and quickly followed him out to observe Meng He's reaction. As a result, he saw Meng He struggling desperately and shouting in despair, but he refused to change his words. Shi Qiao then felt at ease and quickly drank Shi Bao's personal soldiers who were preparing to execute the execution, and took Meng He back to the tent.

After passing this test, things were of course much simpler. Shi Bao first comforted Meng He with kind words and gave him wine and food, and then agreed to Meng Gan's request for surrender, and promised to believe Meng Gan as the Marquis of Gaolu after the matter was completed. He also asked Meng Gan to prepare to open the city to welcome the Jin army into the city. Meng He was overjoyed and agreed. After receiving the reward, he returned to Yang'an Pass that night and refused to mention it.

The next morning, Shi Bao, who had the bottom of his heart, ordered the Jin army to secretly prepare for the night battle, and decided to dispatch 12,000 elite troops to attack Yang'an Pass early. Then when arranging the candidates for the vanguard general, Shi Bao's second son Shi Qiao also stood up and volunteered, saying: "Father, please let the child lead the army as the vanguard. The child promised to take down Yang'an Pass City in one fell swoop and open the road to our army's entry into the hinterland of Hanzhong!"

As a father, of course hesitated, Shi Bao asked, "Are you sure?"

"Report to the father and commander, there is!" Shi Qiao replied firmly and said, "Please allow him to agree!"

Considering that his son's vanguard could inspire morale more, Shi Bao gritted his teeth and agreed to his son's request, asking Shi Qiao to lead 4,000 elite troops to go straight to Yang'an Pass, and arranged for general Tang Bin to lead 8,000 rear troops to follow him, and he led the main force to take over the camp in order to welcome the Han army's full counterattack. At the end, Shi Bao also said: "The fighter opportunity is rare. I hope you will fight tonight and kill the thieves and take down Yang'an Pass City in one fell swoop, so that our army can take the initiative in the battlefield of Yang'an Pass!"

After the generals sang their promises, the daytime passed quickly. Then at the second update of the night, the 12,000 Jin troops took the initiative to sneak into Yang'an Pass without tying a torch. Then when the third update was approaching, the Jin army led by Shi Qiao also arrived at the Ximen City of Yang'an Pass very smoothly. Under the cover of the night, they lie near the city gate, waiting for the insiders to secretly open the city gate.

"Dong!—Dong!Dong!"

He was anxious to make great achievements and realized great achievements. When he heard the sound of a bangzi coming from Guancheng, Shi Qiao was of course very excited and nervous. He quickly tried to open his eyes wide and looked at the movement of the city gate. Fortunately, Meng Gan, a scumbag of the Han army who was crawling inside and outside, did not disappoint Shi Qiao. Soon, a torch appeared at the city gate, and he was still shaking around at the city gate to send out a response signal. When Shi Qiao was overjoyed, he waved his hand and said, "Follow me!"

"Major General, dangerous, let the last general come first!"

Deputy General Niu Hua quickly dissuaded him, but Shi Qiao didn't listen at all. While slapping the horse first, he also said, "If I don't step forward, who is willing to work hard?"

After throwing this sentence, Shi Qiao insisted on leading the Jin army forward all the way and rushed to the Yang'an Pass gate at full speed. When he rushed to the city, the gate had indeed been opened from the inside, and someone shouted in the corridor, "Come in quickly, come in, you will be discovered if you are too late!"

Seeing this scene, Shi Qiao did not hesitate anymore, and roared and rushed towards the dark Yang'an Pass City. The soldiers of Jin soldiers followed suit, roaring and rushing into the city like a tide. The loud shouts of killing suddenly echoed in the sky, "Kill--!"

At this moment, Shi Qiao seemed to have seen himself successfully occupying Yang'an Pass City, and returned to the scene of his father's reply with his head held high, and also seemed to have seen Sima Yan summoning himself to the Tai Chi Palace and enthrone himself as a marquis.

"Boom!"

The sudden loud noise from behind shattered Shi Qiao's dream. When he looked back in surprise, Shi Qiao immediately saw that a huge gate of thousands of kilograms falling from the sky had cut off the front and back of the Jin army and completely trapped him to death in Yang'an Pass. Immediately afterwards, as the war drums sounded, torches suddenly swayed on both sides of the street. I don't know how many Han soldiers shouted out, and Shi Qiao also let out a heart-wrenching scream...

"I fell into the trap--!"

It was too late to find that it was too late to be trapped. As the shouts of killing, countless Han soldiers came from three sides, and the soldiers who were surrounding the Jin army were stabbing the city. The Jin army could not resist the enemy, so they could only run around the road and quickly surrounded by the Han army at the city gate with Shi Qiao. The assistant Niu Hua from behind was so anxious that he could only command the swords and axes to step forward and chop the thousand-pound gate that the Han army suddenly dropped, trying to open a road and contact Shi Qiao out of the city.

Unfortunately, the Han army did not give Niu Hua any chance to pick up Shi Qiao. As new shouts of killing came, an army broke out on both sides of Yang'an Pass City, and the left and right were tied to the Jin army silted outside the city. The panicked Jin army had no intention of fighting and fled for a short time. The Han army pursued with all their might, chasing the defeated Jin army, slashing the butts of the defeated Jin army, killing the Jin army even more. At the same time, countless torches appeared in the east and rear of Yang'an Pass City, and under the leadership of Cuan Gu, they rushed towards the west of Yang'an Pass.

Thanks to Shi Bao's cautious personality, he arranged for general Tang Bin to lead the first army to respond in advance. The Jin army's rear team quickly stepped forward to meet the Han army's pursuers. The prepared Han army was not afraid at all. He carried a knife and fought head-on with Tang Bin's army. He fought with Tang Bin so dark that it was difficult to separate. Then when Cuan Gu led the Han army's rear team to the scene, a bigger melee also began in the dark.

The result of the melee was that the Han army quickly gained the upper hand, and the ambush took the lead. The Han army soldiers were of course psychologically advantageous. The Jin army was unexpectedly attacked and was at a disadvantage. In addition, Cuan Gu quickly led the army to arrive. There were no known how many reinforcements from the Han army in the darkness. The Jin army was even more panicked and was quickly killed and defeated. Tang Bin saw that the situation was not good, so in order to avoid more losses, he could only lead the Jin army to fight and retreat.

At this time, of course, the situation had already flown in front of Shi Bao. When Shi Bao heard the news, he had to quickly order the entire battalion to be on guard and prepare to welcome the defeated troops of the Jin army to return to the camp. Fortunately, the Jin army had strong troops and quickly entered the state of combat readiness, and relied on the cover of strong bows and crossbows to successfully respond to Niu Hua and Tang Bin's defeated troops back to the camp. Cuan Gu did not dare to attack in the dark. When he chased the Jin army camp, he immediately called Jin to withdraw his troops and quickly led the Han army to Yang'an Pass to meet with the defenders.

When it was dawn, with the efforts of the Yang'an Pass defenders, more than a thousand Jin troops entering the city had been almost killed by the Han army. During this period, although Shi Qiao tried to rush up to the city wall and jumped to the city to escape, the Han army surrounded him too tightly. Shi Qiao's several conflicts were resolutely killed by the Han army. As a result, Shi Qiao's soldiers became fewer and fewer soldiers around him, and in the end there were only a dozen people left. Then, seeing that the situation was hopeless, Shi Qiao was still holding his sword in his hand and was preparing to commit suicide.

Unfortunately, a spear suddenly swept away Shi Qiao's sword. Han soldiers rushed forward, and more than a dozen Jin soldiers were either killed or captured. Shi Qiao himself was also captured alive by Han soldiers, and soon he was taken to Meng Gan, the Han general who had not recovered from the stick injury.

After interrogating the prisoner, Meng Gan, who was the leader of the army, of course, laughed and said, "It turns out that it is Major General Shi, it's worth it, it's worth it. I thought that my military stick can only be exchanged for a victory in the ambush battle at most. I didn't expect that I could catch a big fish like Major General, I'm worth it!"

"Bah!" Shi Qiao spitted heavily, and shouted with blood on his face: "If you have sex, kill me immediately! Otherwise, when you see Zhang Zhi's thief Cuan Gu's thief, I will tell them everything you have been stealing and selling food and grass in the past six months!"

"You sue!" Meng Gan replied with great pleasure and laughed wildly: "Tell you the truth, instant noodles and lunch meat are what our later general ordered me to secretly steal and sell!"

"Did your military rations be ordered by Zhang Zhibian to steal and sell them?"

Shi Qiao widened his eyes, Meng Ganze nodded calmly and said with a smile: "Our post-general had two purposes at that time. One was to find more sales for our food, exchange grain for money to pay our soldiers, and the other was to make me pretend to be insatiable, so that you could take advantage of me. Whether you attack Yang'an Pass or we send troops to attack Baishui Pass, you are very likely to make a fuss about me and fish for a long line to keep a backup. Fortunately, we did not work hard in vain. After spending more than half a year, we finally caught a big fish."
