"Qin Yi, Qin Yao, you immediately reply to Qin Liang, tell him to stay in Wan City properly, we have our own ways. Mr. Zhang Ling, you have to take care of this mission of finding the Lord Qin yourself. The entire army is preparing to set out, seems like we have to move ahead, we cannot let Zhang Mancheng mess around. "

However, Yang Lin's plan had failed once again. Zhang Banxian accompanied the disguised Lord Qin as they quickly walked to the entrance of the mountain, but did not meet Qin Ming as well. The usually calm Zhang Banxian could not help but become anxious as she sent the eagle to deliver the message.

Almost at the same time, Yang Lin received a message from both the Zhang Banxian and Qin Ming. Originally, Qin Ming had already brought xanthopanax back to the Wan City. It was said that more than a thousand cavalrymen had charged out of nowhere and disrupted the entire plan, saving Qin Ming in a hurry.

When Yang Lin saw the letter, he knew that Zhao Yun and Cang Ba had returned. He couldn't help but laugh bitterly in his heart. It was good that they saved Qin Ming, but they also messaged up the entire plan. It seemed that it was very necessary to be Qin Zhi's spy around every general's side so that they could help the eagle deliver the message.

Now that the imperial army had been mobilized, there was no need for his own cavalry to remain in the mountains. Yang Lin immediately gave the order, and all of them rushed out of the mountain straight towards the Wan City.

At this time, Wan City was bustling with noise and excitement. In Wan City's courthouse, Zhang Mancheng laid down a grand banquet to celebrate the successful return of the officers with over a thousand captains. As for the soldiers and soldiers below the centurion, they set up a feast in their respective camps, eating and drinking to their heart's content.

To Zhang Mancheng, this battle held an extraordinary significance. Ever since the Imperial army came to the Nanyang, Zhang Mancheng's xanthopanax had been beaten up passively, and had no choice but to retreat to guard the Wan City. One of them had fought to a standstill with the generals of the imperial government, while the other had beaten the generals of the imperial government until they were vomiting blood. Furthermore, they had even withstood the attacks of the officials and army.

Before the banquet, Zhang Mancheng called Sun Zhong into his tent alone and threw him a sweet date.

"General Sun, you have accomplished a great deed in today's battle. I plan to appoint you as this commander-in-chief's Vice Commander, what do you think?"

For Sun Zhong, who had the least soldiers, to be promoted to the position of Zhang Mancheng's Vice Commander, Sun Zhong naturally wished for nothing more. But the smart Sun Zhong knew what Zhang Mancheng was scheming. In comparison, he would rather not be a Vice Commander.

Marshal, Sun Zhong has so many soldiers that I am afraid the other generals will not agree with my decision. I will appoint General Zhao Hong as the Vice Commander.

Zhang Mancheng's face did not reveal any expression. He stared at Sun Zhong for a while, until Sun Zhong's hairs stood on end, before he heaved a sigh of relief.

"General Sun, this commander made you become Vice Commander, who dares to disobey? Rest assured, you can just be your Vice Commander. "

Sun Zhong understood in his heart that regardless of whether he was willing or not, there was no way he could refuse. He could only reluctantly nod his head.

"Thank you, marshal."

Seeing that Sun Zhong agreed, Zhang Mancheng revealed a smile, and then proceeded to propose a request to him.

"General Sun, look at this commander-in-chief's hundred thousand strong army. This commander-in-chief doesn't have a single capable general. This commander-in-chief has both command of the entire army and command of the central army. This commander wants Qin Ming and Qin Liang to lead the army, what do you think? "

Sun Zhong had long expected Zhang Mancheng to make such a request, and knew that this was the condition for him to become Vice Commander, how could he refuse?

"Since the Lord General thinks highly of them, then let them go."

Zhang Mancheng's face immediately revealed a satisfied smile, he suddenly stood up and waved at Sun Zhong.

"Come, let's go to the banquet."

Inside the Main Hall of the county magistrate, the General of the Yellow Scarf Army s were gathered together and talking loudly. When they saw Zhang Mancheng coming in, they immediately became completely silent. Zhang Mancheng walked to the front of the hall, looked at the Generals and announced his orders loudly.

"Generals, in today's battle, the two generals Zhao Hong and Sun Zhong have the right to command. The two generals Qin Ming and Qin Liang who had the courage to fight, withstood the Imperial army's attack and safely retreated to the Wan City, is truly a cause for celebration. With such elite troops, my xanthopanax is in for the win. In order to reward the meritorious officials for this battle, this marshal has ordered: General Zhao Hong and General Sun Zhong as the marshal's Vice Commander, and General Qin Ming, Qin Yi and General Qin Yao as the marshal's general in the middle. "

Han Zhong, Sun Xia, Jiang Tai, and Hou Shan hurriedly came forward to congratulate Zhao Hong, Sun Zhong, Qin Ming, Qin Liang and the others. In an instant, the Big Account was brimming with joy, it was bustling with noise and excitement. Only Sun Zhong was not happy. How could Zhang Mancheng be happy after poaching his two generals? Meanwhile, the ten centurion s under Zhang Mancheng's command had also come forward to get closer to Qin Ming and Qin Liang. In the future, they would be the subordinates of the two brothers.

Before the feast was over, Sun Zhong forced a smile on his face and tried to find an excuse to leave. Qin Ming gave Qin Liang a meaningful glance, and the two of them anxiously escorted him to the outside of the tent.

"I'm sorry, General Sun. We brothers couldn't help it. No matter what happens in the future, you, General Sun, will be our brothers' general. We brothers don't know anything, and we will depend on your guidance in the future, General Sun. "

Originally, Sun Zhong had some objections towards Zhang Mancheng, but he did not have any conflicts with Qin Ming. Seeing that they were being so cautious, they might need the help of the brothers in the future, so they politely smiled at Qin Ming and Qin Liang.

"Generals, no need to be courteous, in the future, we will be generals of the Lord General, everyone should help each other out."

After the three exchanged greetings, Sun Zhong's mood improved a little and he left. Looking at the pitch black night in Wan City, Qin Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Right now, the officials are really big and there are more soldiers. However, the distance from the city gate is getting farther and farther away. The mission given by the lord is getting harder and harder to complete."

The original four gates of the Wan City were guarded by Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, Sun Xia and Sun Zhong respectively, while Zhang Mancheng's one hundred thousand strong army resided in the middle of the Wan City, supporting them wherever they needed to. Although Qin Ming and Qin Liang had become the middle generals, they could not control a single city gate.

In the morning of the second day, Yang Lin brought all the cavalry to Wan City City and stayed in the camp that Zhao Yun and his comrades had already set up. When brothers meet, they can't help but be happy. Zhao Yun, Cang Ba, now that they knew that they had messed up the plans of the imperial army, they were embarrassed to apologize to Yang Lin.

"Big brother, I'm really sorry. We were too rash and messed up your entire plan."

Looking at the embarrassed Zhao Yun and Cang Ba, Yang Lin's heart warmed. He smiled at Zhao Yun and Cang Ba and gave each of them a punch.

"For us brothers to say such words, aren't we acting out of place?" Your heart is also doing this to destroy the xanthopanax. "Although it seems like you've messed up your plans, but the bad things have actually turned into good things. You just have to wait and see a good show."

Zhao Yun and Cang Ba thought that Yang Lin was still comforting them, just like the other brothers. Everyone grinned and walked up to give him a punch, especially Zhang Fei. Only now did Zhao Yun and Cang Ba believe that there was nothing wrong, and after playing with everyone for a while, they sat down.

Yang Lin introduced the three strategists to Zhao Yun and Cang Ba, and then exchanged greetings with them. When everyone quieted down, Yang Lin cleared his throat and got down to business.

"According to the news that Qin Ming and Qin Liang had spread out, they are now generals and have over a hundred thousand soldiers under their command. However, they cannot control the city gates, and even if they had to open the gates, the soldiers would not listen to them and could only rely on their two thousand brothers. If we attack the city, they might be able to climb up the city walls, and we can break through from them, but the xanthopanax will definitely be desperate to escape. I don't want to have another Yang Di break through the encirclement. It would be best if I could capture them all in one fell swoop. What suggestions do you guys have? "

"Wait, big brother, you just said that Qin Ming and Qin Liang spread the news, could it be that the brother is one of us?"

Zhao Yun and Cang Ba jumped up in shock, their eyes were as big as copper coins, as they quickly interrupted Yang Lin.

"Hehe, those two are our brothers."

"Heavens …"

Zhao Yun screamed at the sky, unable to calm down for a while. After all this time, the one he risked his life to kill was actually his brother.

"Big brother, those two brothers are truly capable in martial arts. I finally understand, no wonder that Qin Ming kept me at bay while fighting. It was because I wanted to recruit some talents for my big brother, so I didn't risk my life to kill him. On the other hand, Sun Jian was eager to give it his all, his actions were too ruthless and too hasty, setting Qin Liang on fire, but in the end, he was beaten to the point of spitting blood. In my opinion, Qin Liang was still holding back. Otherwise, Sun Jian's little life would be over. "

"Hehe, this is called friendship after a fight. In the future, they would be good brothers. Now, let's discuss how to catch all of xanthopanax in one fell swoop. "

The brothers looked at the three strategists in unison. It was up to the strategists to come up with any ideas. Yang Lin had already told them in advance of his plan, and everyone had a plan in mind. Xin Ping put down the cup in her hand and smiled at everyone.

"Master, if you want to capture all of xanthopanax, I think you should first think of a way to kill Zhang Mancheng and cause chaos within xanthopanax. Now that there were two Vice Commander s in xanthopanax, at that time, there would definitely be a battle. As for Qin Ming and Qin Liang, they had the most soldiers under them and their martial arts were the strongest, so it was very possible that they would elect them as their new commander. As long as they could become commanders, wouldn't that solve the problem? As for how to kill Zhang Mancheng, it's not that difficult. We can arrange a few godly archer s amongst the soldiers that are attacking the city. As long as Zhang Mancheng appears, everyone will immediately attack him. "

These words caused everyone to nod their heads repeatedly. With regards to the archery of the hunters of the Yang family, everyone was completely convinced. Yang Lin also thought that this method was feasible. As he was about to make a decision, he suddenly heard Guan Yu speak.

"Brother, even if Zhang Mancheng were to ascend the city walls, he would definitely be wearing armor and a helmet. No matter how godly a marksman was, there was no guarantee that he would be hit in the face. Furthermore, only strong arch s are able to shoot our arrows more than three hundred steps. Even the powerful Horned Bows are unable to shoot more than five hundred steps. If our archer were to be within five hundred steps of the city walls, he would be the first target to be shot. If we fail, it will definitely arouse Zhang Mancheng's vigilance, and it will be even harder to find opportunities in the future. "

This was actually a problem, the armor of the Generals and the soldiers were on completely different levels. Furthermore, they had a large number of bodyguards by their sides, it would not be easy for them to assassinate the commander.

"If only I could shoot from a distance."

Yang Lin's words reminded Xin Pi, he immediately put down the cup in his hand, cupped his fists, and bowed towards Yang Lingong.
