Sure enough, as Liu Zhang expected, finally, 20 days later, Sun Qian arrived at Yangping Pass with a large amount of military resources, and Liu Zhang also waited outside the pass with Panzhou.

"My lord!"

When Sun Qian saw Liu Zhang, he quickly walked up, bowed and saluted. "Gongyou, hurry up and get up! Gongyou has really done a great job this time!"

Liu Zhang helped Sun Qian up with a look of relief on his face. I can't help but sigh in my heart, no one who can leave a name in history is not an idle generation!

"My lord, who is this?"

Seeing a stranger standing beside Liu Zhang, Sun Qian couldn't help showing doubts.

"Oh, let me introduce you to Panzhou, a great talent in Hanzhong County! Thanks to Brother Pan this time, otherwise I would have no one available!"

Sun Qian took the initiative to salute Panzhou, but Panzhou didn't dare to neglect and returned the salute.

"My lord, what about Huang Zhong and the others?"

Sun Qian looked around and only saw Dian Wei, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Liu Zhang didn't care, just explained casually.

"The four of Huang Zhong have gone to the East Three Counties to recruit soldiers."

"Master Taishou, it's getting late, let's set off quickly! It will be safe to return to Nanzheng as soon as possible!"

Pan Zhou stopped the two of them because he wanted to chat with Liu Zhang about Sun Qian.

Liu Zhang nodded, looking at the mountains of materials, he was really not at ease.

"That's right! Brother Pan, ask your people to quickly carry it. After the handover is completed, we will return to Nanzheng immediately!"

Panzhou winked at the entourage around him, and saw the entourage beckon, and all three thousand people rushed forward.

It didn't take long before the packing was done, and Liu Zhang and his party finally set off on their way home.

Perhaps because he was too excited to see the supplies, Liu Zhang was all smiles and kept pulling Panzhou to brag along the way.

"Brother Pan, you don't know, if I had these supplies, who would be my opponent!"

Pan Zhou also had a smile in his eyes, complimenting Liu Zhang non-stop.

"Yes, yes! The prefect is naturally invincible! I think the rebels in Liangzhou will be wiped out soon!"

"Hahaha, well said! When I return to Nanzheng, I will give up Yang Lin's position as a county captain. Brother Pan, will you help me then?"

Pan Zhou was overjoyed immediately, and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Thanks to the lord prefect, Pan Zhou is really grateful! I will do my best to help lord prefect!"

Starting from Yangpingguan to Nanzheng, we will only pass through Mianxian County in the middle, and Mianxian County is also the last mountain road. After passing this Mianxian County, we will completely reach the Hanzhong Plain, which will be an endless wilderness.

Liu Zhang and his party also went very smoothly. They didn't encounter any accidents on the twists and turns of the mountain road, and they were about to reach Mian County.

"Brother Pan, you will arrive at Mian County when you leave Taniguchi ahead, right? Then you can hurry on your way!"

Panzhou stared at the front for a while, lost in thought, as if he didn't hear what Liu Zhang was saying.

"Brother Pan? Brother Pan!"

Liu Zhang's calling several times finally brought Panzhou back to his senses.

"Ah? What's the matter, Lord Prefect?"

Just as Liu Zhang was about to speak, he heard shouts of killing coming from ahead.

After a while, these shouts of killing came to the front, blocking the way of Liu Zhang and his party.

"It's broken, I met a thief!"

Panzhou yelled, the voice was too loud, which immediately caused Huang to panic.

Liu Zhang was also very panicked, even when he sat down, the horse bumped around.

"If you don't want to die, hurry up and leave something, kneel on the ground and please surrender! Otherwise, you will be killed without leaving anything behind!"

A man stepped out in front of the bandits and started shouting at Liu Zhang.

"Where did the thief come from? Don't you know who I am?"

No matter what Liu Zhang said, he had seen the big world, so how could he be frightened by the bandits and questioned directly.

"Hahaha, I know, why don't I know! Later general Liu Zhang!"

"Since you know my name, you dare to come here to die?"

"Hahaha!"

The bandit leader looked up to the sky and laughed, looking at Liu Zhang with disdain.

"General Empress, you only have 500 soldiers around you, can you still be worth 30,000 of us? To tell you the truth, in order to deal with you, our twelve bandit chiefs unite and gather all the soldiers and horses to make a special trip for you Come!"

Liu Zhang visibly panicked and asked tremblingly,

"You, how do you know?"

"Hahaha!"

Liu Zhang's cowardly appearance made the bandit laugh again, and the look in his eyes made him even more disapproving.

"Rear General, we bandits have the virtue of loving life and not killing! If you can put down these supplies today, we will let you go, how about it?"

Liu Zhang didn't answer, his brows were tightly furrowed, obviously lost in thought.

At this time, Panzhou on the side hurriedly spoke to Liu Zhang.

"Master Taishou, the situation is critical now, why don't you agree to them! As long as the green hills remain, are you afraid that there will be no firewood? You might as well wait until the sergeants are summoned later, and then go on a crusade!"

Liu Zhang shook his head and directly rejected Panzhou's proposal.

"No, these materials are the guarantee for defending Hanzhong. They must not be lost. I will fight them to the death!"

"Master Taishou!"

Panzhou became even more anxious, sweat dripping down his face.

"You only have 500 soldiers, how can you fight against 30,000 people? Isn't it like hitting a stone with an egg?"

"Aren't there still three thousand of you?"

Liu Zhang pointed to Panzhou's servant behind him, unexpectedly Panzhou laughed out loud.

"Hehe, is the prefect just kidding? Where have my servants seen this kind of world? Once a war starts, they must flee in embarrassment!"

The more Liu Zhang heard it, the more gloomy his face became, and he looked at Panzhou fiercely.

"Brother Pan, what do you mean, these three thousand family members will not participate in the war?"

Pan Zhou changed his previous attitude and nodded directly.

Liu Zhang didn't look at Panzhou any more, and shouted to the bandit leader,

"Listen, general, if you want these supplies from me, yes! As long as you can defeat this general under me, I will offer these supplies with both hands!"

"Otherwise, I will never let you rob me. I, Liu Zhang, am definitely not a vegetarian! Even if you attack by force, you will have to pay a heavy price!"

Liu Zhang's voice was very firm, and he waved the long knife in his hand.

The bandit leader didn't even think about it, and directly rejected Liu Zhang's request for a one-on-one fight.

"Don't dream! I have 30,000 horses, what qualifications do you have to ask me! I'll ask you again, pay or not!"

When the two sides were tense, Pan Zhou, who was beside Liu Zhang, stood up and shouted at the bandit leader.

"Listen up, thief, the general after is not a man who has made a name for himself! Hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army and Xiliang Army don't take it seriously. If you dare to force it, you will die without a place to die!"

Unexpectedly, after Panzhou's words, the thief leader fell into deep thought, and after a while, he nodded and agreed.

"Okay! I'll give you this chance! But don't play tricks! Otherwise, you'll be waiting for death without a whole body!"

Liu Zhang smiled slightly, nodded slightly forward, and shouted two words at the same time.

"Evil!"
