The only uncertainty in this military operation is how long Pang Xi will be able to hold out.

As long as Pang Xi can hold on for a month...... No, for most of the month, Guo Peng was confident that Zhao Yun and Zhang He would rush to Hanzhong, as long as Pang Xi could insist, Hanzhong would be won.

But if Pang Xi can't hold on, the problem will be very serious, and the army will be lost.

However, marching and conquest has the connotation of gambling, no matter how well prepared and how strong the military strength is, it is impossible to avoid accidents, and there are gambling elements, if you dare not gamble, don't fight.

Whether Liu Zhang dares to bet or not, this is a question.

Anyway, Guo has never been afraid of gambling, and every step he takes has an element of gambling in it.

Luckily, he won the bet, and God had mercy on him as a despicable gambler.

This time, I still have to bet, the bet is 25,000 troops, and the whole of Hanzhong!

Liu Jiyu, do you dare to bet with me?!

Guo Peng's gaze crossed the steep Qinling Mountains, crossed the Hanzhong Basin, and went straight to Chengdu.

And at this moment, Liu Zhang, who was far away in Chengdu, finally learned that it was not the Wei army that attacked Hanzhong and attacked Nanzheng to beat him, but Pang Xi's disguised army.

Liu Zhang was stunned at first, and then there was endless regret and resentment.

He shouted several times.

Pang Xi!!!

After planning for so long, it seems that it is about to succeed, it is a matter of wine, and it is actually a matter of making Pang Xi turn the tables!

Who told him to overturn the car, this Liu Zhang doesn't care now, he wants Pang Xi to die.

Since it wasn't Guo Peng, he wasn't so afraid.

He is afraid of Guo Peng, not Pang Xi, he shouldn't be afraid of Pang Xi!

Wu Yi begged Liu Zhang to increase his troops to the north, he wanted to recapture Hanzhong, this plan was approved by Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang was so angry and felt too ashamed, even he couldn't accept this shame.

So he decided to send the general Gao Pei to lead the troops, meet with the Baishui guard general Wu Ban, and go north to support Wu Yi.

Because of the loss of 30,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, Liu Zhang also lacked an army at present, and Chengdu only had more than 10,000 but less than 20,000 troops.

If you can't recruit it, then you can forcibly recruit it, and the traditional skill of pulling Zhuang Ding can be used even by the weak Liu Zhang.

So in just half a month, Liu Zhang urgently gathered 30,000 soldiers and horses around Chengdu, all of which were handed over to Gao Pei, and he led these troops to the north.

Gao Pei led his troops north to Baishui Pass, met Wu Ban, and the two led their troops north together to advance towards Yangping Pass.

At this moment, there have been more than a dozen large and small wars in the Yangping Pass area.

Wu Yi and Yang Huai led the troops to try to attack Pang Xi in Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain, but Pang Xi integrated thousands of troops into the battlefield in time, and the troops overwhelmed Wu Yi and Pang Xi, and a wave of counteroffensive hit outside Yangping Pass, and then stopped.

After all, Pang Xi is a general, and there is still a set of ways to lead troops to fight, and the Dongzhou soldiers also dare to fight in order to survive, and Fa Zheng has planned several small strategies that have been successful, weakening Wu Yi and Yang Huai's soldiers and horses.

Wu Yi and Yang Huai could not make progress, so they could only retreat to Yangping Pass and wait for reinforcements to support.

As long as reinforcements come, Wu Yi will have enough troops to surround Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain, and directly break through to Chuyang County head-on.

Now every attack is raided by Pang Xi's troops on both sides of the strait relying on the terrain, and the road to march is not smooth and cannot be confronted, which makes Wu Yi very aggrieved.

On the sixth day of the first month of March, when Zhao Yun and Zhang He's army was still marching hard in Luogu Road, reinforcements sent by Liu Zhang arrived.

Gao Pei and Wu Ban led 30,000 reinforcements to Yangping Pass, and the army in Yangping Pass was immediately abundant, Wu Yi was very happy and immediately made a plan to let the army eat for a day and nourish their strength.

Then on the third day, on the eighth day of the third month, Wu Yi ordered the whole army to attack.

Although Pang Xi ordered the army to still carry the banner of the Wei army, Wu Yi was not afraid at all and directly led the army to attack.

Gao Pei and Wu Ban each led an army to besiege Tiandang Mountain and Dingjun Mountain, Wu Yi and Yang Huai led the army to block Pang Xi's rescue force, and Pang Xi led the troops to fight hard but could not break through Wu Yi and Yang Huai's superior army.

The two armies fought for two days and one night, Tiandang Mountain was the first to lose, and then Dingjun Mountain was also lost, Pang Xi could not stop Wu Yi and Yang Huai's army from rushing and fighting, so he had to lead the army back to Chuyang County, and defended the city, but despite this, he could not stop Wu Yi's troops.

Wu Yi used superior forces to break through the county seat of Chuyang on March 15, occupied it, and continued to advance, Pang Xi returned in a disastrous defeat, retreating all the way to Nanzheng, the army suffered heavy losses, and a son died on the battlefield outside, like a lost dog.

As a last resort, relying on the city walls of Nanzheng and the city defense system that Fa Zheng had prepared long ago, Pang Xi barely stopped the defeat, repelled Wu Yi's three attacks in the city defense battle, stabilized his position, and prepared to start a tug-of-war.

Wu Yi also knew that Nan Zheng would suddenly be unable to obtain it, so he slowed down the frequency of his attacks and slowly attacked the city, anyway, he was not afraid that Pang Xi would be able to escape.

Pang Xi is just waiting for death, and there is no other way to go.

Pang Xi was also very anxious and frightened, and looked east all day long, hoping for the stars and the moon and Guo Peng to save him.

"Guo Zifeng won't come, right?"

Pang Xi asked Fa Zheng more than once.

"Guo Zifeng will definitely come, he won't leave Hanzhong alone, as long as we persevere, he will definitely come!"

While cheering Pang Xi up, Fa Zheng also muttered to himself, wondering if Guo Peng would really come.

If you really don't come, won't it be the end of the calf?

Everyone really died in vain.

Wu Yi confidently commanded the army to attack the city, and also surrounded Nanzheng on all sides, fiercely attacked, full of momentum, but Wu Yi never expected that on March 19, the real Wei army came.

An army under the banner of the Wei army came from the direction of Chenggu County in the east, the number was not much, it seemed to be about 10,000 people, but the combat effectiveness was very strong, there was no cavalry, all infantry troops, wearing standard armor, and rushed over in formation with spears.

That's right, Zhao Yun and Zhang He crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, hurried slowly, and finally arrived in Hanzhong, got the response of the men and horses arranged by Pang Xi in Chenggu County, got heavy weapons such as armor and shields, and after being fully armed, they rushed to Nanzheng to relieve Pang Xi's siege.

The march was not without casualties.

In order to get on the road as soon as possible, the soldiers lost more than 400 men because of the difficult roads, the auxiliaries and men who transported the grain were about 1,000, the number of numas, mules, donkeys and other livestock was more than 600, and the carts were damaged more than 200.

Zhao Yun and Zhang He can be regarded as having tasted the hardships of the march, and they sighed along the way thanks to the leading party.

Otherwise, if the army really attacked Hanzhong, it is not known how many soldiers and logistics personnel will have to be lost to send enough soldiers to Hanzhong.

Moreover, if the Shu army guards the crossing, it will definitely preemptively deploy troops on the advantageous terrain to obstruct the march of the Wei army, and there is no shortage of places on these roads, as far as Zhao Yun and Zhang He estimate, if they are hard, their 10,000 people may not be able to get out of Luogu Road alive.

Fortunately, there is a leading party, long live the leading party!

The moment they arrived at the Hanzhong Basin with light equipment and stepped on the flat ground, Zhao Yun and Zhang He had a feeling of being reborn and were very happy.

After entering Chenggu County, I ate and drank water, and after a short rest, I felt like being reborn.

Pang Xi prepared a lot of military supplies here, as if he guessed that the Wei army would not bring heavy equipment when it came, the Wei army was fully supplied here, and soon recovered, and then learned about the current battle situation, Zhao Yun and Zhang He immediately made a decision and immediately led the army to Nanzheng to relieve the siege.
