At the same time, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng also arrived at the north gate, saluted Xu Huang, and then conveyed Lin Nan's order.

After Xu Huang heard this, he nodded and said, "Please reply to the emperor, I am ready, and I will send it at any time." ”

As a result, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng began to return. Xu Huang went to meet Lin Yang, and when the two armies turned, there must be many words to say.

When Pang Tong and Fa Zheng returned to Lin Nan's side, Zhao Yun had already left. Lin Nan saw Pang Tong and Fa Zheng coming, so he asked: "There are no outsiders here, the two of you are wise men, although the siege of Hanzhong is solved, there are still 30,000 troops of Suo Xu in the area of Dingjun Mountain, and 30,000 troops of Xiahoudun and Huang Quan are stationed in Jiameng Pass, and where is there also 50,000 Wei troops in Chengdu, and I want to take advantage of the situation to launch an attack on Shu, I don't know what you think?" ”

Fa Zheng first said: "At this time, the Wei army has no leader, Suo Xu, Xiahoudun, Xun Yu are not the emperor's opponents, Huang Quan and other old ministers of Shu Han are also forced to surrender to the Wei army, if the emperor can send troops at this time, the Wei army has an unstable foothold in Shu, and the old ministers and people of Shu Han will naturally oppose Wei and welcome China, which is a godsend." ”

Pang Tong said: "I also agree with Fa Xiaozhi's opinion. However, when the tactics of attacking the heart are adopted, the emperor of Wei has already died in Nanzheng, and this news can be made public, and it is believed that it will receive unexpected results. Our army attacked Xichuan with the power of thunder, and it was possible to pacify Xishu in the rest of the month. If the emperor wants to go on an expedition, Shi Yuan is willing to be the front, and first persuade Suo Xu to surrender, so as not to go to the swords of the Huaxia army and the Wei army. ”

"Very good, then I will send someone to go with you, and then protect you......" Lin Nan said.

Pang Tong waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, that's not necessary, it's enough for Shi Yuan to persuade Suo Xu alone, but too many people will get in the way." ”

"Okay. So when do you set off? ”

"The sooner the better."

"Then today, you go and clean up, lead a horse and leave Nanzheng. This goes to Dingjun Mountain, which can be reached in one day. ”

"The minister has taken his leave." Pang Tong turned around to leave.

"Wait! Suo Xu is a talent. It used to be Ma Chao's old department, and he once contributed to the Wei State, and killed 100,000 Qiang people in Guanzhong with 20,000 soldiers, and Cao Cao attached great importance to it. This person's talent is no less than that of my Chinese generals. You are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites for the time being, and after seeing Suo Xu, tell Suo Xu that as long as he is willing to submit. I named him the general of Guiyi, a waiting, the marquis hereditary replacement, Yongzhen Dunhuang. Lin Nan saw that Pang Tong was leaving, and felt that if there was no bargaining chip for Pang Tong to negotiate, Pang Tong might not be able to convince Suo Xu, and after thinking about it, he immediately said.

After Pang Tong heard this, he saw that Lin Nan was so important to Suo Xu and gave such a heavy reward, so he doubled his confidence. Although he still can't figure out the official system of Huaxia Kingdom, so he doesn't know how big an official the Ministry of Rites is, but he knows it very well. This is only temporary, and if you follow Lin Nan in the future, you will definitely become a generation of famous ministers.

"The emperor can rest assured, the ministers should persuade Suo Xu to surrender on the spot, and ask the emperor to send troops in half a day." Pang Tong said.

"Well, don't worry."

Pang Tong immediately got off the city tower, then rode a war horse, and galloped out of Nanzheng City alone.

Along the road, Panton drove fast. After galloping less than thirty miles, I saw a new cemetery on the side of the road. There are still people guarding the surroundings, and the cemetery is unreal. But I saw that the tombstone was engraved with "Tomb of Emperor Wu of Wei". After he saw it, he immediately jumped off the horse, although he did not write his name, but he knew that this was Cao Cao's tomb, he hurriedly knelt in front of Cao Cao's tomb, and shouted sadly: "Your Majesty ......"

The soldiers guarding the tomb knew Pang Tong and did not stop him, but only persuaded Pang Tong to mourn and change.

After Pang Tong cried, he bowed to Cao Cao's tomb, and then got on his horse and left, for fear of delaying the big event, but he was thinking in his heart: "It turns out that Your Majesty has really died......"

In the evening, Pang Tong arrived in Chuyang, stayed in the city for one night, and then rushed to Dingjun Mountain to meet Suo Xu.

In the big camp of Dingjun Mountain, Suo Xu sent all the soldiers out to search, and for several days, Lin Nan and others were never searched, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.

Until Pang Tong appeared, Suo Xu was still directing others to continue the search. When Pang Tong arrived, Suo Xu asked suspiciously: "Military Division, why are you here?" ”

Pang Tong said with a sad face: "I am no longer a military advisor, I am now the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of Huaxia Kingdom, and I am here to persuade you to surrender." ”

"What? What about Your Majesty? Suo Xu asked hurriedly.

"Your Majesty...... has already died......" Immediately, Pang Tong told Suo Xu the ins and outs.

After Suo Xu heard this, he said angrily: "Hey! The success was successful, His Majesty died, and the Wei State was completely destroyed. Strategist, have you really surrendered to Huaxia? ”

"The situation is compelling, and it is His Majesty's dying will, saying that if it is not Lin Nan, the world cannot be determined. As long as you are willing to lead the troops to return to Shun on the spot, I will make you the general of Guiyi, a wait, the marquis hereditary replacement, Yongzhen Dunhuang. At present, there are only five great generals in Huaxia Kingdom, and if you are obedient, you will be the sixth, how respectable your status is, I think you should know better than me. I won't say anything superfluous, you are an understanding person, think about it. Pang Tong got straight to the point.

Suo Xu is indeed an understanding person, a few years ago, for the sake of the Suo clan and the safety of the people in Guanzhong, he surrendered to Cao Cao, and now, he is standing on the cusp of another storm, which is really a bit of a trick.

He thought about it carefully, and after sitting down, he said to Pang Tong: "No! If I return to the Huaxia Kingdom, what difference will I have from those capricious villains? Your Majesty treats my Suo clan well, several of my clan brothers are officials in the Wei State, Your Majesty has died, I should accompany him. ”

"Your old master Ma Chao is in Huaxia Kingdom, I heard that Zhang Xiu has also returned to Huaxia Kingdom, don't you want to drink their members?" Pang Tong frowned, he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, and hurriedly persuaded him.

"Although Ma Chao is my old master, but not the Ming Lord, after I met His Majesty, I knew what the Ming Lord was, since ancient times loyalty and filial piety dilemma, I Suo Xu the former chose filial piety, in order to protect their own people and obeyed Your Majesty. This time, I will choose the word loyalty and righteousness to be loyal to Your Majesty. Suo Xu said expressionlessly.

"Why are you doing this? If you can talk to my emperor in person, you will find out. My emperor is even better than His Majesty, I can arrange it for you......" Pang Tong saw that Suo Xu refused to surrender, worried that the military revolution would rise again. He hurriedly said.

"No need, I've made up my mind. Needless to say. I heard that Huaxia never destroyed people's houses, and after I died, the Suo clan would all be disarmed and returned to the field, so as not to end up with a broken family and a scattered clan......"

"General, since this is the case, it is better to kill in Hanzhong and avenge Your Majesty. Then inform General Xiahou to send troops from Jiameng Pass, believing that our army can definitely give the Huaxia army a heavy blow! Zoro exclaimed.

Solo also nodded hurriedly and said: "General, if you don't do it, you won't stop, as long as we occupy Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain, the Huaxia Army will not be able to cross from here and fight to the death with the Huaxia Army." ”

"Shut up!" Suo Xu said angrily, "Even if you block the Huaxia Army for a while, you can't stop the Huaxia Army I." If the battle continues like this, I don't know how many heroic souls will be buried here. Since we can't stop the Huaxia Army's footsteps into Kou Xishu, it is better to move away. Letting go of the past can be regarded as a good thing for the soldiers and the people. The world is divided into three, Huaxia is the strongest, the Wei army is gone, and it can't stop the unification war launched by Huaxia, so let me help Huaxia and make this world less conquering! ”

After hearing this, Pang Tong gave a positive affirmation to Suo Xu's behavior, and Cao Cao died. I'm afraid that no one can stop Lin Nan's progress, and since the end of the Han Dynasty, the heroes have risen together. After competing with each other, Lin Nan came step by step. All the heroes were trampled under their feet, and the strategy he adopted to join Wu did bring him great convenience, at least allowing the Huaxia army to destroy one opponent after another wholeheartedly.

"General, why are you so confused, in my opinion, it is better to catch Pang Tong first, and then use Pang Tong's head to sacrifice the flag, and wait until General Xiahou arrives from Jiameng Pass, he will immediately launch a general attack on the Huaxia Army, judging from the current posture of the Huaxia Army, the Huaxia Army is already at the end of the crossbow." Solon Road.

"Presumptuous!" Suo Xu glared at Zoro angrily and said loudly, "Take off your armor, drop your weapons, no matter what method you use, go back to your hometown in Dunhuang!" ”

Zoro was also furious, and immediately looked at Pang Tong's eyes, and directly pulled out the steel sword he was wearing at his waist, and was about to stab Pang Tong.

"Zheng!"

At the same time, Solo also pulled out the sword in his waist, directly blocked Sauron, and shouted, "You calm down! ”

"Get out of the way!" Suo Xu said angrily.

Sauron and Solo stepped back and sheathed their swords.

"Go and call all the people above the rank of military commander in the whole army here!" Suoxu Road.

Zoro and Solo retreated, and Suo Xu asked Pang Tong to sit down.

Pang Tong already knew that Suo Xu would not resist, and he had no ill will towards himself, so he immediately sat there and waited quietly for Suo Xu's next move.

After a short time, the whole army and above were called in front of the big tent, Suo Xu went out of the tent and looked around at the generals, and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty has died, and the Huaxia army is on the way to ......."

"Your Majesty......" Everyone howled and wept sadly.

Suo Xu's face was also sad, and then pointed to Pang Tong and said: "Everyone, I am ready to hand over the 30,000 troops to Pang Shiyuan, now Pang Shiyuan has returned to the Huaxia Kingdom, His Majesty has left a will, saying that non-Huaxia countries cannot determine the world, and we are not good to disobey, I am ready to change flags on the spot, I can avoid meeting with the soldiers of the Huaxia Army, most of the officers and soldiers in the army are the people of Guanzhong and Liangzhou, after the truce, if you are not willing to continue to stay in the army, you can be repatriated to your hometown, I do this, it is also for your sake, I have half my life to fight horses, There have been countless killings, and now, I want to make a little contribution to reunification, so let's vote now. ”

Everyone went out for a long time, missing their hometown, and Shu is not suitable for them to live, although they feel sad for Cao Cao's death, but for their own plans, they are not willing to do a senseless struggle, Cao Cao is their backbone, now Cao Cao has gone, Suo Xu's meaning is very clear, everyone is silent.

"If no one speaks, then I'll assume that you all acquiesce." Suo Xu turned around and said to Pang Tong, "Shi Yuan, I have entrusted all these 30,000 soldiers to you, and I hope you will treat them well." ”

After speaking, Suo Xu walked into the big tent, put down the roller blinds, and no one was allowed to enter.

Pang Tong originally had a high prestige in the army, and as a divine military division, everyone did not refute it. Although Sauron and Solo were not angry in their hearts, they did not dare to make a mistake in the face of Suo Xu, so they had to follow Suo Xu's choice.

"Don't worry. My emperor is wise and martial, benevolent and righteous, and he will not embarrass you. My emperor will arrive in the evening, and when the time comes, he will leave or stay. It's up to you. Pang Tong said loudly.

The faces of the soldiers all showed a look of resentment, but no one spoke, just made a plan in their hearts, whether to stay or go.

Pang Tong turned around and walked towards the big tent, and after lifting the curtain, he saw Suo Xu lying in a pool of blood, kneeling on his knees, his head drooping. The long sword in his hand was stuck in the ground, and his right hand was still holding the long sword tightly, but the blood droplets on the blade were flowing down little by little, and his chest was full of blood.

"General—" Pang Tong exclaimed in surprise when he saw it, and then fell to his knees with a "poof".

When Sauron, Solo and the others saw this, they immediately gathered around, and when they saw Suo Xu kneeling in a pool of blood, they all knelt on the ground, crying and crying.

Time. The army cried incessantly, and in the minds of these people, Suo Xu's prestige was higher than Cao Cao's. Because they are all the old subordinates of Suoxu.

……

In the evening, Lin Nan led Zhao Yun, Xu Huang and other 10,000 Chinese troops to the foot of Dingjun Mountain, and saw Pang Tong leading many Wei soldiers waiting on the side of the road, so he laughed and said to Zhao Yun and Xu Huang: "Pang Shiyuan really persuaded Suo Xu to surrender...... Hey, why don't you see Suoxu? ”

When the two armies met, Lin Nan saw that Pang Tong's face was gloomy, so he said, "Shiyuan, what's going on?" What about Suoxu? ”

"General Suo...... Ay! Pang Tong sighed heavily. He shook his head helplessly.

Lin Nan's happy face also returned to calm, and only then did he notice. All the soldiers showed a sad look on their faces. He turned over and dismounted, and asked, "Shiyuan." What's going on? ”

"General Suo killed himself, and when he was dying, he entrusted these 30,000 soldiers and horses to me and let me take care of them." Pang Tong said, "Sauron and Solo have already carried Suo Xu's body away, and the two have already resigned and gone back to Dunhuang by small road." ”

"Suo Xu Yinglie!" After Lin Nan heard this, he naturally had a heart of admiration for Suo Xu, although he had no contact with Suo Xu, but it made him feel Suo Xu's unique temperament.

That night, the army was all stationed at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, a big battle in Hanzhong, the Huaxia army and the Wei army suffered heavy casualties, and tens of thousands of heroic soldiers sacrificed their lives for the country. Lin Nan was moved and specially ordered people to set up a martyr's shrine on Dingjun Mountain to pay tribute to the souls of those who died in the war.

At the same time, Lin Nan was not strong, and informed the whole army, those who were willing to stay would stay, and those who were unwilling to stay would be issued travel expenses and customs clearance documents, so that they could be disarmed and returned to the fields and returned to their hometowns in Qinzhou and Liangzhou.

So, early the next morning, 10,000 soldiers out of the 30,000-strong army said that they were tired of the war and wanted to be disarmed and returned to the field. Lin Nan asked Pang Tong to operate this matter, issued them travel fees, issued customs clearance documents, and let them return.

After that, Lin Nan reorganized his troops and horses, and a total of 30,000 soldiers set off towards Jiameng Pass. He took Xu Huang as the front, Pang Tong continued to serve as the Shenji military division, led the Chinese army himself, Zhao Yun led the rear army and was responsible for escorting grain and grass, and set off in a mighty way.

In Hanzhong, Lin Nan appointed Fa Zheng as the Taishou of Hanzhong, Zhang Ren and Lin Yang were in charge of the soldiers and horses to guard Hanzhong, and Yang Huai, Wu Yi, Wu Ban, and Meng Da followed Lin Nan's army to Jiameng Pass. and sent scouts to release the news of Cao Cao's death.

In the Guancheng of Jiameng Pass, Xiahoudun was still angry that Cao Cao had degraded him, and drank all day long, and the 30,000 troops inside and outside the Guancheng were all led by Huang Quan, a cavalry general.

In the early morning of this day, Huang Quan was still mobilizing grain and grass in the city, and suddenly heard that a group of soldiers and horses had crossed the Western Han River along the river, had crossed the Western Han River, and arrived at the back of Jiameng Pass, and hurriedly sent someone to investigate, only to know that Ma Chao led 20,000 soldiers and horses to kill, and immediately sent someone to summon Xiahoudun.

"General, Captain Xiahou, he is drinking, I don't dare to disturb ......," Huang Quan's subordinate said.

"Afraid of what? Even if he is to carry him, he will be carried over, and he will surely come gladly if His Majesty has decreed it to him. Huang Quan said.

"No!"

So, the soldier called Xiahoudun according to what Huang Quan said, and Xiahoudun, who was on the rise, heard that there was a holy decree for him, and he really came happily.

Xiahoudun came to the Guancheng with a drunken body, and as soon as he saw Huang Quan, he asked loudly, "Where is the holy purpose?" ”

"There is no holy decree, but I am afraid that the general will not come, so I deliberately falsely preached the holy decree, and the situation forced it, please forgive the general." Huang Quandao.

"Humph! Do you dare to falsely preach the Divine Decree? I was impatient to live, and I swept away Lao Tzu's wine, Lao Tzu ......"

"General Xiahou, Ma Chao has led an army of 20,000 to arrive at Jiameng Pass. Now the troops are advancing rapidly, and the troops are reaching thirty miles, if they don't make any plans. I'm afraid that Ma Chao is about to be killed. Huang Quan said angrily.

"What did you say?" After hearing this, Xiahoudun asked suspiciously. "Ma Chao is here? It's true? ”

"The news just found out, Ma Chao led 20,000 troops from Wudu down the Western Han River, there was originally a small pass there, which was to be garrisoned by General Xiahou, but the general said that it was okay, and he didn't go here, so he gave Ma Chao a chance!"

"Prepare the soldiers and horses, I will go and face Ma Chao in person!" Xiahoudun knew that he was wrong. Immediately shouted.

Thirty miles southwest of Jiameng Pass, the 20,000 troops led by Ma Chao finally arrived here after a day and night journey, as soon as they went ashore, they immediately marched forward with a forced march, it is now the middle of February, most of the ice and snow melted, so the road is a little muddy, just walked less than twenty miles, and the people and horses are all mud. had to stop and temporarily stationed at Thirty Mile Pu.

After the temporary camp was set up, Ma Chao didn't have time to take off his armor. I heard that the scout came to report that the Wei general Xiahoudun led the army to gallop over here.

"It's just in time, send an order to the whole army, meet the battle!" Ma Chao lifted the Earth Fire Xuanlu Spear and immediately shouted.

Suddenly, Ma Chao had an idea, and then shouted again: "Wait...... Go and call a few lieutenants over to discuss the countermeasures and see how to win by surprise. ”

"No!"

Soon. Several lieutenants all gathered and came to Ma Chao's side. Clenched his fists and said, "General." ”

"Yes! All sit down, and now have a pre-war makeshift meeting. Xiahoudun led an army of 20,000 to kill from Jiameng Pass, I want to set up an ambush to ambush Xiahoudun, I don't know what your opinion is? Ma Chao didn't have any strategists around him, only a few forward captains who relied on his account, and immediately asked.

Several forward lieutenants then expressed their opinions, and then reconciled with Ma Chao's opinions, and then formulated an ambush plan. Once the plan is made, even if it is implemented.

An hour later, Xiahoudun led an army of 20,000 horses and infantry to rush over, and the roads were muddy, making the men and horses all mud, and it looked like they had crawled out of the mud.

"General, there is a thirty-mile shop in front, the Huaxia army has set up a temporary camp here, there is no solidity at all, as long as the general rushes forward, the camp can be flattened immediately." The scout came back and reported.

Xiahoudun was full of spring breeze and said with a smile: "In the past, Chang'an City let Ma Chao go, but this time it is not so easy. ”

"No!"

As soon as the words fell, Xiahoudun held a big knife in his hand, took the lead, and the first one ran out, followed closely by eight hundred cavalry, followed by the rest of the cavalry and infantry.

This area is mostly mountainous, and the village under Ma Chao is just on the mountain road, the banner of the Huaxia Army is fluttering in the wind, and the banner of the word "horse" is blown whirring.

Xiahoudun led 3,000 cavalry in front, the remaining 17,000 infantry in the rear, and 20,000 soldiers and horses attacked directly towards the camp without a break.

The camp of the Huaxia army was surrounded by dead branches, mixed with some stones, and the soldiers showed a look of exhaustion, so after Xiahoudun saw it, he didn't think about it, and rushed over directly with his troops.

When the soldiers of the Huaxia Army in the camp saw Xiahoudun leading the army to kill, they all shouted loudly, and began to retreat, running around, looking messy and abnormal in the camp.

After Xiahou saw it, he laughed and said: "Huaxia Army is nothing more than this, if you don't take off Ma Chao's head today, I swear not to be a person." Charge me and kill them all! ”

The Huaxia army was scattered in the battalion, and for a while it lost its armor and looked like an army at all.

Xiahoudun took the lead, the prancing horse jumped over the fence outside the camp, and entered the camp with a big sword. Xiahoudun was taken aback, and when he was about to fall to the ground, he stood up with one palm on the ground, and saw that the hooves of the war horse under the seat were deeply trapped in a horse trap, which was not big, but it was enough to jam the horse's hooves deeply.

In addition to Xiahoudun, most of the cavalry behind him also overturned off their horses and fell heavily to the ground.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a horn, and the shouts of killing rose from all directions, and countless arrows shot densely towards the front of the Wei army in the mountain road, and Ma Chao appeared from the soldiers who had escaped from the camp, riding a white horse. Carrying the Earth Fire Xuanlu Gun, he galloped towards Xiahoudun refreshed.

When Xiahoudun saw such a scene, he knew that he had won the plan. Immediately shouted loudly: "Retreat!" Evacuate! ”

However, just when Xiahoudun shouted to retreat. On the long mountain road that can not be seen at a glance, there was a sudden commotion behind the Wei army, a captain of the Huaxia army led the troops to intercept the way back, on both sides of the mountain road, the soldiers of the Huaxia army appeared one after another, the winding mountain road seemed to be full of soldiers of the Huaxia army, the Wei army was damaged everywhere, and the 30,000 Huaxia army firmly surrounded the 20,000 Wei army.

"Grandma's bear!" Xiahoudun saw Ma Chao pressing towards him. He immediately snatched the horse from the intact cavalry beside him, turned over his horse, and attacked Ma Chao.

When Ma Chao saw Xiahoudun coming, he sneered, and the Earthfire Xuanlu spear was raised first, and quickly stabbed towards Xiahoudun.

Xiahoudun was not to be outdone, with a turn of the blade, he blocked Ma Chao's shot and slashed towards Ma Chao's head, and the two quickly entered a white-hot state as soon as the battle began.

Meanwhile. Ma Chao and Xiahoudun's subordinates were also together in the scuffle, Ma Chao's spearmanship was exquisite, and Xiahoudun's knife skills were sharp. The two men fought each other on horseback for six rounds.

After that, Xiahoudun saw that the Wei army was already in chaos, so he left Ma Chao to escape. But Ma Chao didn't give Xiahoudun any chance, and the gunshots were heavy, sealing Xiahoudun to death.

"Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Chen Qun, Yang Xiu, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, and Man Zhong are all dead, and there are people in Chang'an City who were in turmoil that day, and your share, today I will let you pay for your blood debts!" Ma Chao's eyes were red and he glared at Xiahoudun. Shouted loudly.

"Humph! That's up to you! , others are afraid of you. I'm not afraid of you! "Xiahoudun is extremely brave and is known as the first general in the Cao army. This time, seeing that he couldn't come out of the conflict, he simply broke the jar and broke it, trying his best to kill Ma Chao and avenge his dead relatives and friends.

Ma Chao endured for many years in order to take revenge, most of the people in Chang'an City who were in turmoil that day died, and only a few people such as Xiahoudun remained.

The two generals here are fighting fiercely, and the soldiers of the Wei army and the Huaxia army are all fighting, and for a time the blood flowed like a river on the five-mile mountain road, the shouts shook the sky, and the screams were repeated, and the corpses were lying there in all directions.

"Zheng!"

A buzzing sound sounded in Xiahoudun's ears, he only felt that his hands were slightly numb, looking at Ma Chao, who had just finished the tenth round with him, he couldn't help but think: "This guy is really a difficult person to deal with......

Ma Chao shook his spirits, and after passing shoulders with Xiahoudun, he immediately turned the horse's head, and at the same time flew up, and the earth fire Xuanlu spear immediately stabbed out, but seeing that the dark red spear looked so dazzling in the sunset, his body was still in the air, but the spear kept dancing, and shouted loudly: "Rainstorm meteor!" ”

Xiahoudun was taken aback, and saw that Ma Chao actually attacked from the air, the spear was fierce, the shadow of the gun was heavy, and every time the tip of the spear fell, it was like a falling meteor, with a dark red tail. He raised the broadsword to cover it, the spear smashed the handle of his broadsword, the huge force shook the tiger's mouth of his hands to blood, and his face showed a difficult expression, he met such a difficult person as Ma Chao for the first time.

Ma Chao's first shot was just blocked, and the second shot fell, Xiahoudun had no choice but to continue to parry, who knew that when this shot fell, it was like a thousand catties of boulders, and was pressed to the ground together with the war horse under his seat, and the four hooves of the war horse could not bear the tunnel, and it was crushed on the spot, and Xiahoudun even sat directly on the ground with people and horses.

Ma Chao landed from the air, and as soon as his toes hit the ground, his body came with a roundabout kick, kicking Xiahoudun out, and at the same time his own spear also stabbed out, and before Xiahoudun fell to the ground, the spear had already forced Xiahoudun to the throat.

Xiahoudun's eyes widened, he was powerless to cover it, and he watched the Earth Fire Xuanlu spear stabbed into his throat, and the whole person didn't even scream, he fell into a pool of blood, his body continued to twitch, his eyes were full of fear for Ma Chao, but he secretly thought in his heart: "Ma Chao is comparable to Lu Bu back then, it's a pity that the great cause is not finished, Your Majesty, Yuan Rang took a step first......

Ma Chao killed Xiahoudun in eleven rounds, and his heart was so happy that he immediately pulled out his waist knife. He beheaded Xiahoudun, raised it high, and shouted loudly: "I have killed Xiahoudun." Those who don't want to die surrender as soon as possible! ”

When the Wei soldiers heard that Xiahoudun had been killed by Ma Chao, they were all terrified. Many people saw that the Wei army was gone, and in order to protect themselves, they expressed their willingness to surrender. Only some of them were unwilling to surrender and were all shot by the Huaxia army.

The whole battle lasted only two quarters of an hour, and Ma Chao carried Xiahoudun's head and took advantage of the momentum. With all the cavalry, they began to move towards Jiameng Pass, leaving the infantry to guard the prisoners.

The twilight was four, the night was gradually thickening, Ma Chao led five thousand cavalry to Jiameng Pass, but saw that the city was quiet, was hesitating, suddenly the lights on the city were bright, and a general climbed the tower of Jiameng Pass, after seeing Ma Chao. He laughed and said, "Meng Qi is okay? ”

When Ma Chao saw it, his face was overjoyed, because this person was Xu Huang, the general of the right hussar. There is still a person standing next to Xu Huang, who is Pang Tong, the Divine Machine Military Master, and next to Pang Tong, it is Huang Quan. He rode his horse to the bottom of Guancheng and asked, "I really didn't expect General Xu to be so fast?" ”

Xu Huang said: "Meng Qi, I'm really sorry to take your credit." ”

Ma Chao smiled: "It's okay, anyway, my revenge has almost been avenged......"

said. Ma Chao then raised Xiahoudun's head and continued: "I have already killed Xiahoudun. Now there is only Cao Cao's old thief left, please ask General Xu. Where is Cao Cao's old thief? ”

Xu Huang said: "Cao Cao has died, and the emperor is on his way here, so please ask General Ma to enter the customs to rest." ”

Late at night, the lights in Jiameng Pass were bright, Lin Nan led the army into Jiameng Pass, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Xu Huang, Pang Tong, Huang Quan and others gathered together, looking so happy.

"Meng Qi killed Xiahoudun and made a great achievement, and now Xishu has begun to sound the death knell, and it will not be able to resist the offensive of our army no matter what. General Huang, you are an old minister of Shu Han, you don't know the situation in Chengdu you know best, how many days does it take to get from Jiameng Pass to Chengdu at the earliest? Lin Nan asked first.

Huang Quan, the word Gongheng, a native of Langzhong, Bajun, is a rare famous minister in Sichuan, even in the official history, he is also a rare general. Once followed Liu Bei to attack Wu, Lu Xun burned the company camp and led the Shu Han naval army to defect to Wei, where he was valued by Cao Pi, and finally died of old age in Wei.

Lin Nan naturally knew Huang Quan, and this battle of Jiameng Pass was directly surrendered without a fight, and because he was a person from Shudi, he was very important.

Huang Quan replied: "It will take more than 20 days at the earliest, the Shu Road is difficult to travel, and now it is the winter snow melting, the road is muddy, and there may be landslides in some places, which will bring great inconvenience to the march." ”

Lin Nan nodded and said, "Well, then in your opinion, if you want to send people along the way to conquer the counties and counties and go directly to Chengdu, how many soldiers and horses will be needed?" ”

Huang Quan said: "There are many former ministers of Shu Han who hate the Wei army, since I have been subordinated to the Huaxia Kingdom, I should serve the Huaxia Kingdom." As long as the emperor asks me to lead the troops, I am willing to persuade all the guards in the counties and passes along the way with my incorruptible tongue. As for how many soldiers and horses to bring...... The minister thought that five hundred was enough. ”

After hearing this, Lin Nan said in surprise: "Five hundred? Isn't it too little, there are still 50,000 Wei troops in Chengdu, and Xun Yu is also difficult to deal with......"

"Your Majesty, although the Wei army has 50,000, but the people in Shu are two million, Xun Yu is a wise man, naturally knows what to do, not to mention that the ministers along the way to collect and surrender various counties, passes, can take away a part of the soldiers and horses, than to arrive in Chengdu, not to mention 10,000 people, if Xun Yu does not surrender, Chengdu will riot in the city, and the inside should be combined with the outside, forcing Xun Yu to surrender. Moreover, Cao Gong is dead, and the Wei army has no generals, so they can only sit and wait to be killed. Huang Quan said respectfully.

Lin Nandao: "Well, since this is the case, then I will send you as a pacification envoy, under the jurisdiction of Pang Shiyuan, the military division of the Divine Machine, and lead the five hundred people to lead Yang Huai, Wu Yi, Wu Ban, and Meng Da to subdue Chengdu." According to my estimate, there are not many soldiers and horses around Chengdu, because I have already ordered the Southern Route Army to set off from Jingzhou, and by now, it should have occupied Ba County, and the soldiers and horses around Chengdu should have been attracted to it. Besides, Meng Qi also said that Sima Yi and Zhang Xiu led an army of 50,000 to smuggle through Yinping, and you will attack in three directions, which will definitely stabilize the situation in Shuzhong. ”

Huang Quan said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Lin Nan glanced at Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, and Xu Huang again, and said: "The three generals have worked hard, Jiamengguan only leaves a few soldiers and horses to garrison, Meng Qi still leads the headquarters to return to Liangzhou, Gongming leads the headquarters back to Hanzhong, Zilong stays in Chang'an, and I return to the capital, there is no suspense in Shudi." After I return to the capital, I will make a reward for the battles in Qinzhou, Liangzhou and Yizhou, so please be patient. ”

Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Xu Huang said: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

Subsequently, Lin Nan sent everyone away, left Pang Tong alone, and said to Pang Tong: "Shiyuan, I wrote a secret edict, and now I will hand it over to you, and after the capture of Chengdu and the three-way army is completely in Chengdu, please hand over this secret edict to Gan Ning, the general of Huwei." ”

As he spoke, Lin Nan took out a secret edict and handed it directly to Pang Tong.

After Pang Tong received the secret edict, he put it in his arms and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

The next day, Pang Tong led 500 people, including Huang Quan, Yang Huai, Wu Yi, Wu Ban, and Meng Da, to leave Jiameng Pass. Ma Chao handed over all the captives to Xu Huang, who brought them back to Hanzhong, and he himself led the army upstream, returning along the Shuiyuan Road of the Western Han Dynasty. Zhao Yun followed Lin Nan and the soldiers of the Feiyu Army and Xu Huang to leave Jiameng Pass, leaving only 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the entire Jiameng Pass.

At the same time, on the Yinping Ancient Road, Zhang Xiu led the army to open the road in front, Sima Yi led the army to follow, and the 50,000 army arrived at the Motianling after three days of difficult progress. The cliffs on both sides of this gorge are hundreds of feet high, and the bottom width is only 10 meters. When you enter the canyon, you can see a line of blue sky during the day, and only a few stars can be seen at night. Immersive, there is a sense of "the peak and the sky are connected, and people walk from the cave".

To climb the Sky Ridge, you need to walk eighteen plates, and in fact, you need to turn twenty-eight bends from the foot of the mountain to reach the top of the mountain. Eighteen pans are the main roads in ancient times, all of which are made of red stone. Now that the redstone slabs have been polished as smooth as a mirror, you can imagine the endless journeys of the carry.

After the army crossed the Tongtian Gorge, it began to enter the eighteen plates, although there was a Zhang Xiu opening the way in front, but it was still difficult to walk.

In the army led by Sima Yi, there will be non-combat attrition every day, either stumbling and falling off the cliff, or being attacked by fierce beasts and dying. The army marched in a long way, stretching far away, looking like a giant serpent hovering in the valley.

I don't know why, Sima Yi began to regret taking this road, but it has reached this point, and he can only go hard, in three days, he only walked dozens of miles, seven hundred miles of Yinping Ancient Road, it is estimated that it will take a long time.

Sima Yi looked at the mountain road and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey! Shu Road is really not an ordinary difficult walk, but it is a pity that Liu Yan, Liu Zhang, father and son can not use the local advantages to compete with the world, if I get this treasure land, only ten years of development, I will definitely be able to take a large piece of land......"

……

Ba County.

Zhuge Liang rushed from the outside, and as soon as he entered the Taishou Mansion, he saw Gan Ning in a panic, and hurriedly asked, "General, what happened, so anxious to call me over?" ”

Gan Ning immediately said: "The Wei army has already moved, and the troops are divided into two routes, advancing by land and water, coming to resist our army, wanting to stop our army from continuing to advance. ”

"Whew...... It turned out to be for this......" Zhuge Liang let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "There's nothing to be nervous about, I'm still worried that they won't come." I offered a plan to stabilize the hearts of the people in Shu in Ba County, and asked Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, to write a letter to Chengdu, the purpose of which was to lure the snake out of the hole. Instead of us going to Chengdu on a long journey, it is better to let them come to us, and our army only needs to wait for work and break through each one. As long as this battle is won, and then send troops to Chengdu, the road will inevitably be unimpeded. (To be continued)
