[Three Kingdoms] After crossing, I opened the sick and weak main road line

Zhang Lu knew the virtues of the people under his command. There were only a few people like Yan Pu and Yan Zimao who were well-educated and reasonable.

"Chencang is a city, not too far away from us. If Cao Mengde crosses the Dasan Pass from Chencang, he will hit us right under our noses. Do you understand?"

The sacrificial drinkers in the room:! ! !

The enemy hit them right under their noses?What can I do?Do they have enough troops to fight people back?Will the immortals help them fight?

The whispering voice suddenly became louder. Zhang Lu didn't expect them to come up with any useful suggestions. He returned to the seat at the head and sat down. He would talk about his plan after they finished discussing.

They may not know who Cao Cao is, but they must know how dangerous it is for the army to hit Hanzhong. Before he led his troops to Hanzhong, Hanzhong was not as stable as it is now. Today, the people in Hanzhong cities live and work in peace and contentment. It is thanks to Zhang Lu .

When Liu Yan first arrived in Yizhou, Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong, was not convinced. It was he who led the troops to get rid of Su Gu so that Liu Yan would not have any worries.

After defeating Su Gu, he got rid of his colleagues who were sent to Hanzhong with him, not to mention for the time being, those who achieve big things don't care about small things. He wants to monopolize Hanzhong, so naturally he can't leave others to compete with him.

The previous generations of their family were not officials, and they had no connections in the officialdom. He was able to build a relationship with Liu Yan by relying on his old mother. It was hard for him to have the opportunity to climb up. Of course, no one else could steal his limelight.

The other party's surname is also Zhang, and he is also a member of Wu Dou Mi Dao.

Zhang Lu squinted his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He occupied Hanzhong not only by educating the people, but also mobilizing troops when he encountered disobedient ones. Don't even fight and want to surrender.

"Brother, the plank road from Hanzhong to Chencang has been burned down. It is not so easy for Cao Cao to come here. Even if he passes through the Dashan Pass, there will not be too many soldiers. Guanzhong has suffered disasters year after year. It must be a feint." At the first point, Zhang Wei got up and clasped his fists in pleading, "Brother, younger brother, please lead the troops to resist Cao Cao."

Zhang Lu looked away with a headache, "Let's discuss again."

Listen to what other people say, but you have to listen to what your own brother says. This kid is good everywhere, but he doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth. He thinks that if they win Hanzhong, they will be fearless. He wants to fight head-on with anyone he meets.

He had no doubt that even if it was Lu Bu who came now, this kid would jump out and call him to beat Lu Bu back.

It sounds good, but you have to be able to call back.

"Brother, Cao Cao doesn't have as many soldiers as we do. As long as you want to defend, you may not be able to defend." Zhang Wei heard the perfunctory in his brother's words, and stepped forward to continue to persuade, "If the elder brother is unwilling to lead troops, the younger brother is willing to serve the elder brother like a dog. work."

Cao Cao didn’t have enough food and grass for the army. They did. After they came to Hanzhong, they released the prisoners in the prison. Except for the unforgivable crimes, they can use money and effort to replace prison. Not only the roads in Hanzhong are smooth, but the treasury There is so much money and food that it is about to overflow.

It hasn’t been long since the civil unrest in Guanzhong passed, and there may be other small thoughts hidden at the moment. It’s okay for Cao Cao to sit there. Once Cao Cao leaves, there may be troubles in that place again. The people in Hanzhong are stable, not only have Hanzhong as their backing, The people in Berkshire also believe in the five buckets of rice, and they can also provide them with food and grass support at critical moments.

No matter how you look at it, they are stronger. Why didn't Cao Cao fight back when he came?

Zhang Lu couldn't resist his brother's intentions, and he couldn't say that he was afraid of Cao Cao and Yuan Huan behind Cao Cao in full view. Resist.

Yan Pu: ...

Very good, it's something their master can do.

After Zhang Wei got the approval order, he hurried out to order troops. Most people in the room didn't understand what was going on. Seeing Zhang Wei's reaction, they immediately applauded. Don't care who they are fighting with. General Zhang is so confident. Add it down and win the battle properly.

Zhang Lu turned his face and waved his hands to let everyone disperse, and when Yan Pu was the only one left in the room, he said quietly, "Cao Mengde seems to be able to fight quite a few, can Zhang Wei get his life back?"

Yan Pu twitched the corner of his mouth, "General Zhang is blessed with my lord's blessing, so he will be safe and sound."

Even before the war started, he was already worried about whether his generals would survive. This battle could or would not be won.

Zhang Lu sighed again, and asked Yan Pu to go back to continue with his official duties, stand up, stretch and exercise his muscles, and send more scouts to Guanzhong to inquire about news, so as not to be caught off guard.

Symbolic resistance is also resistance. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for them to look too easy to fight.

The days passed day by day, except that the weather was getting hotter and hotter. The "sacrificing wine" in Guanzhong had been educating the people for several years, and Zhang Wei was in a hurry to resist Cao Cao's invasion.

He chose Yangping Pass as the front line, mobilized tens of thousands of people along the Yangping Pass and built a small Great Wall of more than ten miles along the mountain. Xiayang Pingguan.

Zhang Lu felt that Cao Cao's desire to attack Hanzhong was already terrifying, but it turned out that there was something even more terrifying, that is, Ma Chao from Liangzhou led troops to cooperate with Cao Cao. One of them went to Chencang Dasan Pass, and the other took Guanlong Road to enter Qishan, and came from the north. There are only a few roads in Hanzhong. Apart from the mountain trails that cannot be marched, the only two remaining roads have enemies. How can we fight?

He didn't understand, Ma Teng and Han Sui were so powerful when they beat the Qiang and Hu people, how could they surrender faster than him?

Yuan Situ is currently focusing on Jingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yizhou. That's right. Liangzhou, a place where no shit is a thing, is there to join in the fun. Yuan Situ didn't plan to attack Xiliang. Did they surrender too fast? head?

When Zhang Lu learned that Ma Chao and Cao Cao were united together, he almost tripped over with his left foot and his right foot, and he couldn’t eat just one Cao Mengde, and with the Xiliang Brocade Ma Chao, even if they connected all the hills in the north useless.

The Great Wall in the Youji area has been built solidly and reliably. Can the imperial court rely on the Great Wall alone to resist the barbarians?

No!

You can't scare yourself, think about the good, the two armies from Guanzhong and Liangzhou sent troops to Hanzhong at the same time, at least it can show that Hanzhong's position in Yuan Situ's heart is important enough, that is to say, his position in Zhang Lu is important enough, otherwise how could there be two wars? Lu Dajun came to beat him.

Look at Xuzhou, he didn't even fight at all, he just sent a few young generals to scare Liu Bei away.

Look at Jingzhou, there are only soldiers and horses from Nanyang County. The hundreds of thousands of troops from Yanzhou and Yuzhou next door are eyeing them. Why Yanzhou and Yuzhou didn't send troops to attack Jingzhou? It's not that Liu Jingsheng is not qualified.

Come to think of it, he's pretty good.

Zhang Lu comforted himself with trepidation, and kept sending people to Yangping Pass to inform his brother that it was not enough to guard against Cao Cao. There were also enemies in Liangzhou. If they could be defended, they would defend them, and if they could not, they would retreat. Don’t lose face Live and suffer, their family has no tradition of throwing their lives for the sake of face.

If Zhang Wei was willing to listen, he would not have asked for orders to defend against Cao Cao before. They are famous in Hanzhong as one man guarding the gate and ten thousand men not open. The difficulty of defense is much smaller than that of offense. Cao Cao only needs to defend Yangping. Pass, Ma Chao stopped Qishan Pass, which was much more difficult than resisting Cao Cao all the way, but it was not impossible to stop.

Outside the Dasan Pass, Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren led the vanguard and headed straight for Hanzhong. Xiahouyuan and Cao Hong didn't get the chance to lead the troops, so they could only regretfully stay behind with Cao Cao and Xiaowei Cao.

Over in Liangzhou, Ma Chao regretted not being able to take away soldiers and horses from Jizhou, but it is not bad to have the opportunity to make contributions in the battle, but Mr. Wenhe’s words cannot be fully believed. The original Situ looks gentle and polite, as if the wind blows Blowing down is actually not as gentle and docile as he described, and even more unpredictable than he guessed.

It is difficult to take advantage of it. If you fail this time, try again next time. Anyway, Mr. Wenhe is going to Yecheng to wait for orders. The two of them go out at the same time, and they may succeed.

Ma Chao is very confident in himself. He has never experienced any setbacks when he grew up. It is the time when he is daring.

The lord refused to let him send troops from Jizhou, so he went back to Liangzhou to take him as his own soldier. I don’t know if the lord asked him to go back to Xiliang because he wanted to send troops from Liangzhou or something else. I hope it’s just because it’s convenient to send troops, otherwise his little Isn't the mind seen clearly?

No, no, it's just the first time we meet, and it's impossible for the gods to see what the other party is thinking at a glance, and he just wants to ask for more soldiers, and it's not an excessive request. What's wrong with him.

The two armies set off one after the other. Chencang Dasan Pass was easier to travel than Qishan. Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren arrived at Yangping Pass first. Zhang Wei dispatched tens of thousands of troops to guard the pass. Seeing that Cao Cao did not come in person, he was more confident.

He kept asking people to build fortifications day and night. The small Great Wall of more than ten miles was not just for fun. Cao Cao couldn't beat it if he came here in person, let alone pass it if Cao Cao didn't come.

Zhang Wei's self-confidence was justified. The mountains on both sides of Yangping Pass were connected together. Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren looked at the pass and sighed.

"It's already the third day. Ma Chao will fight from Qishan to Hanzhong in the next three days. Are we no better than a brat?" Cao Ren stood outside the barracks, looking at the mountains in the distance, and muttered, "General Xiahou, Are you still playing tonight?"

Xiahou Dun nodded, "Fight, the weather will change in two days. It will rain heavily and it will be difficult to fight. It is best to win Yangping Pass before the weather changes."

What Cao Hong said was right. Cao Ren is not as stable as Ma Chao. Although he has never met Ma Mengqi, he can be sure that Jin Ma Chao, who can kill the Qiang people so that they dare not make trouble, will not be so annoying.

If he keeps muttering, his head will explode.

Xiahoudun breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the fog that gradually filled the mountains, turned around and went back to arrange for tonight's surprise attack.

——Warrior, win by rightness and surprise.

Their army had already arrived outside Yangping Pass, and they couldn't attack the pass for three consecutive days. Zhang Wei should almost take it lightly.

There was a cover-up before the pass, and it was foggy again tonight. If Yangping Pass cannot be taken today, then Ma Chao can only wait for Ma Chao to enter Hanzhong from Qishan before joining forces with them.

Qishan is known as the name of "Kyushu". It is the most majestic mountain in the world. It strangles the throat of Shulong and controls the offensive and defensive key points. Among them, it won't take too much time for Ma Meng to cross Qishan.

Cao Ren stood at the gate of Daying without moving. He looked at the mountain top gradually shrouded in mist, enjoyed the mountain scenery for a while, and then shook his head and went back.

He is the vanguard of the vanguard, and he will lead the raid at night, and now he has the strength to fight at night when he has a good spirit, otherwise he will lose his lord if he falls into a ravine and cannot climb out.

At the Yecheng government office, Yuan Huan saw the battle report sent by Guanzhong, with a strange expression on his face, some wanted to laugh, and some were confused.

Xun Yu looked up, blinked his eyes and asked, "My lord, is there anything wrong with the battle in Hanzhong?"

Next to him, Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, who were slowly picking up official documents, also raised their eyelids, not letting go of any chance to be lazy, putting down the pen and paper and waiting for the battle report.

"It's a good thing." Yuan Huan passed the things over for them to pass around. After reading it, he was still a little unbelievable, "Xiahou Yuanrang and Cao Zixiao have already captured Yangping Pass."

These two people were a bit lucky. He knew that there were many small animals in the mountains, but he never expected to meet an army of animals to help them during the war.

Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren suddenly encountered elks during their night attack. Thousands of elks did not disturb them, but broke into Zhang Wei's camp, causing chaos in the opponent's lineup.

It coincided with the heavy fog in the mountains, and the soldiers of the vanguard army scattered, and a few soldiers accidentally entered Zhang Wei's camp first. Cao Zixiao was afraid that the scattered soldiers would be caught by Zhang Wei, so he sent people to beat drums and trumpets to gather the scattered soldiers. The enemy camp thought that their army had arrived, plus the thousands of elk that rushed in before, how could it be a mess.

The soldiers fled in panic, Zhang Wei even killed several people but failed to stabilize the chaos, and they succeeded in taking Yangping Pass in a daze.

This battle was fought entirely by luck.

After the battle report was circulated, everyone's expressions became strange. Jia Xu didn't believe in the theory of karma at first, but after reading the battle report, there was a feeling that some people in the world were indeed favored by God.

The elk in the mountains came to help in the war. This kind of thing is as rare as a meteorite falling on the enemy's camp.

Xun Yu rubbed his fingertips thoughtfully, raised the corners of his lips and said unhurriedly, "The people of Hanzhong believe in ghosts and gods. Zhang Lu governed Hanzhong by turning the people into believers in the Five Dou of Rice. Xiahou Yuanrang When Cao Zixiao and Cao Zixiao tackled key problems, the gods descended from the sky to help them, this must be the destiny."

Yuan Huan smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked, "The divine deer descending from the sky is a sign of great auspiciousness, and the divine deer appeared in Hanzhong again, so naturally we cannot hide it from the people of Hanzhong."

Jia Xu:……

These two people just wanted to use the thousands of elk that ran out for unknown reasons to shake Zhang Lu's foundation in Hanzhong. He is not an ordinary person, and the rhetoric of the deer descended from heaven cannot deceive him.

Heh, this former Situ looks like a banished fairy, but he has already seen through the deep scheming inside.

If he was really gentle and refined on the outside, how could he be transferred all the way from Xiliang to Yecheng? He just had a few days of leisure, but was interrupted again and again.

Some people are favored by God alone, and some are targeted by God alone. People are more angry than others. He was probably a "Dong Zhuo" in his previous life. If he was not as angry and resentful as Dong Zhuo in his previous life, how could he live so hard in this life?

He is so difficult.
