After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

Zhang Wei clasped his fists: "I will immediately send troops to Yangping Pass to resist Cao Cao. If I am defeated, I will return to Cao Cao soon!"

"Okay!" Zhang Lu reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Early the next morning, Zhang Wei dispatched troops to Yangping Pass.

The army had just entered the pass, and the two pioneers of Cao Jun, Xu Huang and Gao Shun, had already come to attack.

No matter how the two generals yell and scold.

Zhang Wei couldn't stand it.

Before the army arrived, the second general did not dare to attack rashly.

A few days later, Cao Cao personally led the army to Yangping Pass.

Cao Cao personally went out of Dazhai to watch Yangping Pass.

The high walls and thick walls of Guanshang City are all dangerous places.

If Zhang Wei refuses to defend, it will be extremely difficult to conquer.

Cheng Yu offered advice and sent people to persuade Zhang Wei to surrender.

Hearing that Cao Jun's envoys were going to enter Yangping Pass, Zhang Wei ordered to expel them.

The messenger had no choice but to leave in despair.

Cao Cao was very annoyed and asked about Pang Tong.

"Does Shiyuan have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Pang Tong said: "The Prime Minister can send troops to pretend to attack for three days, and then use food and grass supplies as an excuse to withdraw troops. Zhang Wei is young and vigorous, and he will come to pursue him!"

"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction.

Early the next morning, Cao Cao mobilized veterans from the army to attack the city.

Veterans are oily, knowing that the city cannot be conquered, and they don't work hard to attack the city, most of them are timid.

After going on for a whole day, there was no progress in the siege.

It was the same on the second day and the third day.

Zhang Wei, who was hiding in Yangping Pass, was extremely happy.

"I said long ago that although Cao Cao has many soldiers, Hanzhong is a dangerous place, and he can't break through it. I think Cao Cao might as well retreat!"

Supervising Army Yan Pu cupped his hands: "The general is wise!"

A few days later, the soldiers suddenly came to report.

It is said that Jiangdong intends to attack the Central Plains, so Cao Cao set up a camp and withdrew his troops and returned to Xudu.

Yan Pu said: "The general is attacking the city, but we can withdraw our troops and return to Nanzheng!"

Zhang Wei shook his head: "Cao Cao hastily retreated, our army should hunt down Cao Jun and expand the results of the battle!"

Yan Pu said: "General, don't be overjoyed, Cao Cao must be prepared to withdraw his troops!"

"Setting up camp in vain is a defense!" Zhang Wei ignored Yan Pu's advice and immediately mobilized [-] troops to go out to pursue Cao Cao.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Wei traveled no more than [-] miles, and was suddenly surrounded by Cao Jun when he entered the pass.

Xu Chu on the east road, Cao Chun on the west road, Cao Hong on the south road, and Xiahou Dun on the north road.

Northeast Road Xuhuang, Northwest Road Yujin, Southwest Road Gaoshun, Southeast Road Zhang He.

Eight troops quickly surrounded Zhang Wei's Hanzhong Legion.

Zhang Wei was scared out of his wits, turned around and ran away.

The Hanzhong Army was brutally slaughtered by Cao Jun.

And Zhang Wei was also chased outside the city pass.

Yan Pu didn't dare not open the door, and immediately led Zhang Wei to abandon Yangping Pass and leave.

Cao Cao took advantage of the situation and led his army into the pass and captured Yangping Pass.

The defeated Zhang Wei and Yan Pu took back Nanzheng.

Yang Song heard the news and hurried to see Zhang Lu.

"My lord, why don't you return to the court at this time!"

Zhang Lu was not in a hurry to make a decision, but asked Zhang Wei and Yan Pu.

Zhang Weidao: "Brother, burn down the treasury and go to Bazhong to hold on!"

Zhang Lu shook his head: "Yangping Pass can't stop Cao Cao, how can we hold on to Bazhong now?"

Yang Song hurriedly said: "My lord, let's submit to the imperial court!"

But Yan Pu said: "My lord, it's better to retreat to Bazhong temporarily and leave the treasury to Cao Cao. If you surrender in the future, you may win a bargaining chip!"

"It makes sense!" Zhang Lu nodded, and immediately followed Yan Pu's policy, leading his army to leave Nanzheng without moving a cent of the treasury.

Chapter 254 Changes in Yizhou, Ma Chao's sword dance is intended for Liu Zhang

After Ma Chao's defection, the Battle of Fushuiguan came to an abrupt end.

Cao Cao took the opportunity to march into Hanzhong, first captured Yangping Pass and then went to Nanzheng City, forcing Zhang Lu to retreat to Bazhong.

The situation in Yizhou, while optimistic on the surface, is actually undercurrents.

Liu Bei surrendered Ma Chao and repelled the Hanzhong army.

Nanzhong Menghuo was also beheaded by Guan Yu.

Winning both routes is an unprecedented event for Yizhou.

The people sang and danced to celebrate the emperor's uncle's victory.

This naturally dissatisfied Liu Zhang.

One day, Liu Zhang asked Zhang Song, "Yongnian, where did Liu Bei's troops come from?"

Zhang Song said: "It is borrowed by the lord!"

Liu Zhang asked again, "Where does Liu Bei's food and grass come from?"

Zhang Song said: "It's still a gift from the lord!"

Liu Zhang also asked: "Then who told Liu Bei to calm Nanzhong and march into Fushui Pass?"

"Of course the master!" Zhang Song said bluntly.

Liu Zhang shook his head: "The soldiers and horses are mine, the food and grass are also mine, and the war is also my order. Why are the people praising Liu Huangshu for his virtue?"

"This... I have never heard of it!" Zhang Song shook his head.

Huang Quan immediately said: "The children in Huangkou in Chengdu are all singing rumors: Xi Chuan is afraid of Zhang Lu, Liu Xuande came, Gong Qi turned around and ran away, Ji Yu agreed."

Liu Zhang didn't speak, his face was very ugly.

Huang Quan said again: "My lord, there is still a ballad: one dragon and two flood dragons, the prime minister will go to the middle of Sichuan. Only halfway, I took the Xiliang horse. The wind sends rain, and the rain sends wind. When Long Han prospers, Xi Chuan prospers. Xi Chuan prospers and the Emperor Dragon rises."

Liu Zhang asked Huang Quan, "What's the meaning of this ballad?"

Huang Quan said: "Liu Bei is a dragon, and his two brothers are jiao. They went to Sichuan to accept Ma Chao from Xiliang. After the storm, Yizhou will prosper. At that time, an emperor will come!"

Liu Zhang questioned Huang Quan: "Is the emperor talking about me, Liu Zhang, or Liu Bei?"

Huang Quan didn't speak, but his attitude was already obvious.

"Yongnian, tell me!" Liu Zhang asked Zhang Song.

Zhang Song said: "Of course it is Liu Bei!"

Huang Quan hurriedly said: "My lord, Liu Bei is now the master of great achievements. If you don't take precautions, this Xi Chuan may really give it away. Even this ballad was written by Liu Bei!"

"Boom!" Liu Zhang slapped the table, "I've treated Liu Bei well, yet he wants to seek my state shepherd's position?"

Zhang Songdao: "My lord, if you really don't want to abdicate..."

Liu Zhang stood up angrily: "What do you mean you really don't want to give up? When will I give up to Liu Bei?"

"My lord, calm down!" Zhang Song hurriedly said, "I have a plan to keep Xichuan safe!"

"Say it!" Liu Zhang snorted coldly.

Zhang Songdao: "Cao Cao sent troops to Hanzhong to pass through Yangping Pass first, and then broke through Nanzheng City. Hanzhong will not be safe sooner or later. The Lord ordered Liu Bei to return to Fushui Pass to guard against Cao Cao. He must not be allowed to enter Chengdu!"

"Yeah!" Liu Zhang nodded, "In three to five days, Liu Bei will return to Chengdu. Wouldn't it be ungrateful and ungrateful to ask him to return to Fushui Pass at this time? Not to mention Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu returning from Nanzhong!"

Zhang Song added: "My lord, you can order Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu to join Liu Bei in Luo County, hold a banquet here to celebrate the victory, and then order them to go to Fushui Pass to defend Cao Cao!"

Liu Zhang nodded: "This is a way!"

Zhang Song said again: "Block Liu Bei at Fushui Pass, and then send Zhang Ren to guard Mianzhu Pass. If there is any change, cut off the food and grass first, and Liu Bei will be the turtle in the urn!"

Huang Quan then said: "Your Majesty, you can still send someone to Hanzhong to meet Prime Minister Cao. Previously, the two families were fighting against Zhang Lu, but now they attack Liu Bei. It's not a bad idea!"

"Yeah!" Liu Zhang nodded: "It's the only way to go now, this matter is left to you two to handle, no mistakes!"

"Obey!" The two clasped their fists in gesture.

Liu Bei soon received a military order from Liu Zhang, ordering him to lead his army into Luo (luò) County for a rest.

"Xiaozhi, what does Liu Jiyu mean by this?" Liu Bei asked Fazheng.

"My lord, I'm afraid that Liu Zhang dared not invite you into Chengdu because he was afraid of your great achievements!" Fazheng shook his head and sighed.

After leaving Fushuiguan, he made a big strategy for Liu Bei to seize Xichuan, so he changed his name to the lord.

The army first entered the Chengdu mansion, and used the celebration banquet to force Liu Zhang to abdicate to Liu Bei. Zhuge Liang joined forces, and Guan Yu quickly took over Chengdu.

Now the army is trapped in Luo County, which directly defeats Fazheng's plan.

Liu Bei smiled wryly: "Having been defeated for half of my life, I finally won a battle with great difficulty, but I don't want to end up in this situation!"

Zhang Fei said loudly: "Brother, Liu Jiyu is a mediocre lord, so why not attack Chengdu immediately with cavalry and force him to abdicate!"

Liu Bei immediately shook his head in denial: "Liu Jiyu is of my same clan, and he hasn't harmed me now, how can he kill me?"

Fazheng shook his head: "My lord, based on what I know about Liu Zhang, he may go to Luo County to celebrate your victory. Then force him to step aside, and the army will rush into Chengdu, and the strategy will not change!"

"How can you bear it!" Liu Bei shook his head immediately.

A few days later, Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu led their troops to Luo County to join Liu Bei.

Later, Liu Zhang also led his army into Luo County, and all kinds of good wine and meat were continuously transported into the county.

At the celebration banquet, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang exchanged cups.

Liu Zhang said bluntly: "Xuande has created an incomparable achievement for me in Xichuan!"

Liu Bei said humbly: "Brother Huang is absurdly praised. Without your full support, today's victory would never have been possible. The credit lies with you, not me, Liu Bei!"

After hearing this, Liu Zhang felt much more at ease.

Regardless of what the people outside are talking about, it is enough for Liu Bei to admit himself.

The two protagonists are as close as brothers.

The soldiers of the two armies also had a drink and chat together.

Fazheng found Zhang Song among the crowd.

"Brother Yongnian!"

"Brother Xiaozhi!"

"Hahaha!" The two laughed loudly, and then they left the banquet together to talk secretly in the big tent.

Fazheng said: "Dare to ask Yongnian, ordered the emperor's uncle to garrison Luo County, but it was your plan?"

"Exactly!" Zhang Song asked Fazheng back: "Dare to ask Xiaozhi, but do you want to assist Liu Bei to seize the lord's inheritance?"

"Exactly!" Fazheng nodded, and said without hesitation: "Liu Zhang is weak and difficult to accomplish great things. Now that Liu Bei's prestige is at its peak, he should be the lord of Yizhou!"

Zhang Song shook his head: "The general trend of the world is with Cao, not with Liu. If you really want to welcome one person into Yizhou, I will be elected Cao Cao!"

Fazheng shook his head and snorted coldly: "Although Cao Cao has many soldiers, he is alone in the depths. Once Jiangdong backstabs, it will be impossible to recover. How can the world be dominated by Cao?"

"Hahaha!" Zhang Song smiled bitterly: "It seems that you and I are really going our separate ways!"
