540 The Battle of Hanzhong

Guo Peng wrote a transfer document on the same day and sent someone to Chen Guo to give it to Gu Yong, who was still serving as Chen Guo's prime minister in Chen Guo.

He asked Gu Yong to prepare and go to Lujiang County to take up a post.

Then Guo Peng ordered Zaoyi to be transferred back, preparing to wait for the end of the strategy in the Kansai region, and let Zaoyi be responsible for pulling up the tuntian work in the Kansai region and resuming the construction of Kansai.

The documents were quickly delivered to Chen Guo and handed over to Gu Yong.

"Duke Wei transferred me to be the Taishou of Lujiang?"

Gu Yong looked at his appointment document and was a little surprised.

"Yes, this is a handwritten book by Duke Wei, and let the lower officials send it all the way to Gu Xiang."

The messenger replied.

"This ...... Is there something out of place? ”

Gu Yong was skeptical.

"This is the appointment of Duke Wei, if Gu Xiangru has doubts, he can ask in person, but, Gu Xiang, since it is the appointment of Duke Wei, I think you should accept it and then go to the post."

"But my people are ...... It's all in Koto. ”

Gu Yong looked at the messenger.

"Isn't that just right, Gu Xiang can also communicate with his clansmen, after all, he hasn't been back to Jiangdong for so many years, Duke Wei is sympathetic to Gu Xiang, Gu Xiang should be happy."

Gu Yong frowned and felt that the meaning of the messenger's words was wrong, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly thought of something.

"Wei Gong means ......"

"What does Gu Xiang think, what does Duke Wei mean, Jiangdong has been a little unstable recently, and Duke Wei wants Gu Xiang to take care of his clansmen more."

The messenger smiled, took his leave, and went back to his life.

Gu Yong immediately understood what Guo Peng meant.

It's been ten years, has this opportunity finally arrived?

In a purely northern regime, as a southerner, he has been working hard non-stop, and his position of 2,000 stones has not been broken through for several years, Gu Yong also has his own goals and dreams in his heart, and now, Gu Yong hopes that he can move forward to the future.

So Gu Yong began to move forward into the future.

At the same time, Pang Xi and Zhang Lu are also moving towards their respective futures.

In order to protect his foundation and status, Zhang Lu and Pang Xi in order to enhance their power and status, different goals, the same ambitions, the two launched a decisive battle in Hanzhong.

The main general of Zhang Lu's side is Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei, leading the generals Yang Ang and Yang Ren, leading 20,000 troops to defend Yangping Pass, and the road taken by Pang Xi is the road that Zhang Lu once walked.

When Liu Yan was still there, he ordered Zhang Lu to lead his troops north to capture Hanzhong, and after careful planning, Zhang Lu led his troops north from Chengdu.

He led the army along the Jiange plank road out of the Baijiao Pass, arrived at Chuyang, first captured Yangping Pass, opened the gap from Yangping Pass, and then captured Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain, killed the Hanzhong Taishou Sugu at that time, and occupied Hanzhong.

Pang Xi repeated his old tricks, led the army from the Sword Pavilion Plank Road all the way north, out of the Hundred Prison Pass, arrived at Weiyang, and set the target on Yangping Pass.

Knowing that Pang Xi's army was numerous, Zhang Lu was a little nervous, so he ordered his younger brother Zhang Wei to guard Yangping Pass.

As long as the gap in Yangping Pass is not opened, then Zhang Lu's march route will be a dead end for Pang Xi, and even Zhang Lu, who is of importance to Yangping Pass, must hold Yangping Pass to the death, as long as there is no problem with the pass, Hanzhong will be safe and sound.

In fact, Zhang Lu also knew that Pang Xi had been comparing with him for so many years, in fact, he was raising Kou for self-respect, and he was the Kou he raised, and Pang Xi didn't take Zhang Lu in his eyes at all.

But Zhang Lu wanted to let Pang Xi know that this time, he would definitely not let Pang Xi have a good time.

Would it be so easy for you to come to my city and walk the way I came?

As long as there is no problem with Yangping Pass, everything will be solved.

Pang Xi led his troops to the vicinity of Yangping Pass, and began to order the army to attack Yangping Pass, and all kinds of siege weapons were different to launch a full-scale attack.

Yangping Pass is the western gateway of the Hanzhong Basin, and the army cannot enter the Hanzhong Basin unless the monkeys and gibbons in the mountains climb the steep peaks to enter the Hanzhong Basin.

Of course, for tens of thousands of troops, this is brain-dead, so attacking Yangping Pass is the only way to enter the Hanzhong Basin from west to east.

Of course, Pang Xi knew this, brought enough soldiers, horses and ordnance, and prepared enough food for the army to fight for half a year, ready to start a decisive battle with Zhang Lu here, swore to take Yangping Pass, rushed into the Hanzhong Basin, and unloaded Zhang Lu into eight pieces.

Then the dead end of Yizhou opened.

Of course, Zhang Lu also understands this, and knows that Pang Xi is going to step on him to take the throne, for him, it is impossible to annex Yizhou with Hanzhong, and the Northern Expedition cannot be done.

Hanzhong is too small after all, Zhang Lu just wants to settle down here, he used the **** regime to break the established political model of the Han Dynasty, in Hanzhong, I can't see any political structure related to the Eastern Han government, it is completely religious.

Zhang Lu is not only the head of the regime, but also the head of religion, the political power and the clergy are both in charge, and the people and military officials of Hanzhong are all his followers, so his rule is as stable as Mount Tai, unless a strong and irreversible external force enters.

In Zhang Lu's view, Pang Xi is not qualified enough.

The war between the two began to be fought when Guo Peng had not yet sent troops, Pang Xi attacked Yangping Pass, Zhang Wei defended Yangping Pass, the two fought for more than two months, and Pang Xi could not conquer Yangping Pass.

Just when Pang Xi was distressed about this matter, suddenly one day, a young man who claimed to be a grain transport officer asked to see Pang Xi, saying that he had a clever plan to enter Yangping Pass, and hoped to present it to Pang Xi and let Pang Xi know.

Pang Xi was laughing at this grain transport officer left and right, and only Pang Xi was surprised, so he met with this grain transport officer.

"Who are you?"

"The surname of the lower official is correct, the word is filial piety, and he is a person who helps the wind."

Pang Xi raised his eyebrows.

Fufeng people, who also belong to Dongzhou people, are their own people, and the law is correct...... Fufeng Fa Shi?

"Could it be Mr. Xuande?"

"I'm ashamed of my grandfather's prestige, and I'm just a small official."

Fa Zheng's face showed a look of shame.

Mr. Xuande is not talking about Liu Bei, but about saying that Fa Zheng's grandfather, Fa Zhen, a famous Fufeng scholar who has been gone for almost ten years, Fa Zhen is called Mr. Xuande, who is famous in the academic world, at the age of eighty-eight, and is a Taidou-level figure.

Pang Xi didn't expect his grandson to fall into such a field.

So Pang Xi stepped forward and helped Fa Zheng up.

"Did you come to Yizhou after Dong Zhuo's chaos?"

"Exactly."

Fa Zheng nodded and said: "Not long after my grandfather died, Dong Zhuo caused chaos in the dynasty, Guanzhong was in chaos, and he had no choice but to raise his family to Yizhou, but unfortunately he was not familiar with the place in Yizhou and could not be valued, so he only became a small official." ”

"That's right."

Pang Xi sighed for a while and said, "Before, you said that you had a clever plan to break through Yangping Pass?" ”

"Exactly, Yangping Pass is tall, the terrain is dangerous, and there are many defenders, if you don't need to use a strategy, just a strong attack, I don't know what year and month it will take it, I think that I shouldn't spend too many troops here."

Fa Zheng said solemnly.

Looking at the young Fa Zheng, Pang Xi thought for a moment.

"Tell me, what do you think?"

Fa Zheng then revealed his thoughts and let Pang Xi know.

Pang Xi listened to it, pondered it carefully, and felt that it really made sense, if you do it like this, you can really break through Yangping Pass.

As long as the gap in Yangping Pass is opened and the overall situation is established, he will not worry about anything.

"Good! Just do it! ”

Fa Zheng was overjoyed.

At this time, some subordinates dissuaded Pang Xi.

"General, this person is just a petty official, he actually talks about military affairs in vain, the general is so gullible to him, I am really worried about the general!"

Pang Xi looked at the view and hesitated slightly.

"General! The general used inferior forces to crusade against the traitor Zhao Wei before, so why wasn't it a desperate gamble? The current situation is that the longer the delay, the more unfavorable it will be to the general, and the general needs to know that there are not many people who oppose the general's Northern Expedition.

If it is delayed for a long time, Chengdu will change, the general's grain road will be unstable, and the achievements will be fleeting! Now is the enemy, not me, if the general wants to make a contribution, he must make a desperate bet! You have to speed it up as much as you can! There must be no delay! ”

Fa Zheng loudly admonished Pang Xi.

That's right, if it's delayed for a long time, who knows if there will be any moths on Liu Zhang's side?

Liu Zhang has been quite willing to promote officials from Yizhou in recent days, and the number of those people is increasing, is it a good thing for him?

If you don't have excellent merit and strength, isn't it a disaster?

Hanzhong must be won, and it must be fast!

Pang Xi frowned, pursed his lips, and patted the table.

"I've made up my mind! Just do it! No objections! ”
