"Kong Ming thinks, how many days will it take Yide to break Yique Pass?"
The central army marched eastward from Shan County. Because the terrain gradually narrowed, the entire team stretched longer and marched slower.
Liu Bei and the two military advisors simply found a high place to erect the central army flag there.
While watching Huo Jun and his troops shouting loudly to let the soldiers maintain the formation so that they could pass in an orderly manner, several people were chatting under the central army flag.
The vanguard army where Zhang Fei was located had battle reports returned every day.
The military report clearly stated that Shan County was broken by trickery and Xin'an was safe everywhere when it moved eastward.
The fast horse report received in the morning also clearly stated that if Hangu Pass could be broken quickly, Zhang Fei would decide to attack Yique Pass directly.
If the pass could be broken, it could suppress the south of Luoyang. If it could not be broken, it could also prevent Cao's army from going north to harass Luoyang.
There was nothing wrong with this plan, and this was also one of the eastward trends planned in Tongguan before the army set out, so the tone of the few people was relaxed, and Pang Tong even had the leisure to make this a topic.
Faced with such an inquiry from Pang Junshi, Liu Bei was a little worried:
"According to what Feng Kai said, the commander of Yique Pass is Cao Xiu."
"This general is Cao Cao's confidant, and he has the ability to seize opportunities on the battlefield. If Yide is too arrogant..."
Kong Ming and Pang Tong listened to their lord's chattering, looked at each other, and laughed together.
They knew where their lord's worries came from.
I still remember the Battle of Hanzhong told by the younger generation named Wen Mang, the beginning of which was "Zhang Fei and Ma Chao abandoned Xiabian".
In later history, Yide chose to repeat the old trick when facing the fierce Cao army, climbing the mountain and making a noise to pretend to be a powerful army, but was accurately seen through by the Cao army, and attacked Xiabian directly to break the city, causing the two enemies of ten thousand people to retreat in a hurry.
The one who saw through Yide's plan was Cao Xiu.
Therefore, it is no wonder that Liu Bei was a little uneasy at this time. This is because he was worried and confused.
Kong Ming explained:
"My lord, the fierce battle between Cao Xiu and Yide happened in the 23rd year of Jian'an. Now it is only 19 years, and Cao Xiu lacks four years of experience."
"Yide has experienced dozens of battles from Yizhou to Guanzhong, and he is good at reading and loves soldiers. He is not the same as Zhang Fei recorded in later history books."
"One is stronger than the other. Even if Cao Xiu has the advantage of Yique Pass, how can he be Yide's opponent?"
This persuasion finally made Liu Bei feel more at ease, and Pang Tong smiled and explained:
"My lord, instead of worrying about Yide's safety, it is better to consider how to settle Cao Xiu in advance."
"Why not...see if you can find a good family?"
This is naturally a joke. Liu Bei waved his hand with a smile, and then he remembered the captives that Yide sent back from Shan County yesterday.
One Feng Kai, the other Mei Ji.
If Liu Bei had not trusted his brother-in-law to the utmost and knew that he was occasionally out of tune, he would have almost thought that the vanguard wanted to make some excessive demands.
It was not until Liu Bei asked the messenger to explain the reason in detail that the misunderstanding was resolved.
Liu Bei was relieved and made a slip of the tongue. When the personal soldiers asked for their opinions, he subconsciously said:
"Send him to Chang'an and see if he can find a good family."
The personal soldiers subconsciously looked at Feng Kai, who looked honest and vicissitudes, and then turned to look at the lord, which caused Pang Tong, who was afraid of chaos in the world, to stand up and ask:
"But should we find a good family for General Feng as well?"
Shaking his head and throwing away these memories, Liu Bei turned his head to look at the pillar of the middle class, and then looked at Zhongtiao Mountain from a distance and sighed:
My second brother's hometown is only separated by a mountain. I wonder if he and Yide can enjoy the snow of Muyan Mountain this year?
The central army continued to move forward, and Liu Bei and others arrived in Xin'an County in the evening.
However, what surprised Kong Ming and others was that just when they were having dinner, a fast horse came back with a good news.
"Yique Pass was broken?"
Liu Bei was delighted:
"Where is Yide? Is he injured?"
The one who came to deliver the order from the tent was You Chu. He tried to straighten his back and said loudly:
"General Zhang led his personal soldiers to break the city first and fought fiercely with Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."
"The Cao army retreated after killing nearly a hundred enemies. General Zhang only had a few scratches and was not seriously injured."
So Liu Bei's heart was immediately put back in his stomach.
Pang Tong, who was standing aside, was not worried and asked curiously:
"What about Cao Xiu? Has he been caught?"
"No."
You Chu answered honestly:
"The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were brave and brave. They didn't care about their lives and let Cao's general escape. General Zhang only captured a chief clerk named Lu Qian."
"It's a pity that the lord can't find a good family for him." Pang Tong patted his thigh and sighed that it was a pity. You Chu didn't understand.
Liu Bei did not look away, took two steps forward and pushed You Chu to the table, laughing:
"Zhongyun, come eat something together, and tell me how the Yique Pass was broken?"
"Your news really comforts my heart!"
You Chu was touched that Lord Xuande still remembered his courtesy name, and was flattered.
But he was indeed hungry after riding all the way, so he stopped being pretentious and ate while vaguely describing the situation of Yique Pass in detail to the lord and the military advisor.
And You Chu's first sentence aroused the curiosity of several people:
"Wei Xu and the other three generals have made great contributions to breaking Yique Pass."
Before setting off, You Chu also asked the captured Lu Qian about the situation at Yique Pass, and combined with what he saw with his own eyes, he also told several people the whole story of breaking the city in one day.
After rushing to the Yique Pass, Zhang Fei ordered Zhang Ji to set up a banquet and drink in front of the pass. The craftsmen worked all night long, and You Chu took the clothes soaked in liquor and found an upwind outlet to wave them as hard as he could.
In short, the strategy used in Shan County was used almost intact.
At Changbanpo, Cao Xiu saw with his own eyes how Zhang Fei used a horse to drag branches to create smoke and dust to confuse the army.
In the eyes of Cao Xiu, who was stationed in Yuzhou, the rapid growth of Liu Bei's power in recent years has a different explanation:
It was all thanks to Guan Yu's ability to fight in Jingzhou, so Liu Bei had the opportunity to attack Yizhou by borrowing his clan identity!
Regarding this point, the big family who fled from Yizhou said it confidently.
Cao Xiu may not believe it, but combined with the previous rumors that Zhang Fei broke through Hanzhong Yongliang and used tricks similar to Changbanpo, and Wei Xu and the other three confidently described Zhang Fei's false formation when he broke through Shan County.
So when Cao Xiu saw the same dragon gate formation at Yique Pass, he felt so angry that he laughed:
Do you really think that Cao Xiu is the brainless person that Zhang Yide met before?
Although the chief clerk Lu Qian repeatedly persuaded him to stay at home, Cao Xiu still decided to go out boldly and give Zhang Yide a hard blow!
Isn't it just hiding an ambush and waiting for the tiredness? Then I can ambush better than you, wait until the night is about to end and then attack you to see what you can do?
The Guan Yu who killed Yan Liang has iron cavalry in Jingbei to protect him, so he can't do anything. Then kill Zhang Yide here, which can be regarded as a tribute to the spirit of his uncle Cao Hong in heaven!
Select elite soldiers, give wine and food, and be ready for battle.
When the golden star rises at the hour of Mao, tigers and leopards will come out.
Zhang Fei should have been exhausted all night and returned to the camp to sleep in the middle of the night, but he was trampled to pieces by him.
Huh? Why is it an empty camp?
At the same time, Zhang Fei's thunderous voice rang out outside:
"How could such a crude plan succeed?"
"Zhang Junyi is right!"
"These generals are really mediocre!"
