The Yizhou army was forced to evacuate Jiameng Pass, Jia Long still set up an ambush to put Kang Peng together, if it wasn't for Wen Lu to rescue, Zhang Ren almost took off Kang Peng's fat head, Rao is Kang Peng was lucky to save his life, Dong Zhuojun still suffered heavy casualties, the fire burned Jiameng Pass, Dong Zhuojun lost nearly 3,000 soldiers, and countless wounded, including the commander Kang Peng was seriously injured, causing Dong Zhuojun to be forced to give up the pursuit of Jia Long's troops, so that the Yizhou army retreated to the Sword Pavilion safely before being surrounded by Dong Zhuo's army, and continued to implement Jia Long's strategy of holding on to the enemy.

In other aspects, Li Yan's troops of the Yizhou Army withdrew to Huzhong, this place is the northwest gate of the Yizhou Army, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is a large amount of grain and grass in Tun, which is enough for Li Yan's troops for a year, and Li Yan's martial arts and wisdom are all good, so that the Li Wei troops of the Yizhou Army are helpless, and the rats bite the turtles - there is nowhere to go. And after Kang Peng suffered from Jia Long a few times, he was already afraid of Jia Long to the core, and strictly ordered Lu Butun to attack Guangyuan without authorization before joining the main force, so as not to fall into Jia Long's treacherous schemes again, if the partial division was unfortunately wiped out, then it would be too late for Kang Peng to cry. Although Lu Bu was not convinced, he still obeyed the order under the persuasion of Zhang Xiu and Diao Chan, and Guangyuan, who had taken the initiative to withdraw from the Yizhou army, did not move, and waited alone to join the main force.

At this point, the situation on the battlefield in Yizhou was as follows, the 140,000 Jialong troops who successfully retreated safely withdrew to the Sword Pavilion and held the last natural danger into Sichuan - it was also the first day of the dangerous Sword Pavilion in Sichuan; Because of the injury of the coach Kang Peng, the main force of Dong Zhuo's army plus the newly incorporated troops totaled about 200,000 people, temporarily stationed near Jiameng Pass; The second Lu Bu army added about 80,000 new soldiers, and the soldiers were Guangyuan, and the single class joined the main force; The third way, which is also the least expected by Kang Peng, Li Wei's nearly 60,000 troops confronted Li Yan's troops with the same strength in the middle of the battle, and carried out Kang Peng's strategy of dispersing the enemy's forces, and the battle situation temporarily entered a relatively calm situation.

In the first phase of the campaign, Dong Zhuo's army was defeated under Jia Long on the surface, but in fact the results were quite brilliant, and the main force annexed Hanzhong, the gateway to Yizhou, and obtained the granary in the northwest, which greatly reduced the pressure on logistics; The partial division Lu Bu incorporated the Yanyan troops of the Second Army of the Yizhou Army, which sharply reduced the total strength of the Yizhou Army to 200,000, while the total strength of Dong Zhuo's army increased to 340,000, completely dominating the strength; Even if Kang Peng was not optimistic about Li Dao's troops, although Li Dao was not at the same level as Li Yan in terms of tactical command, and suffered a few small defeats, he could not stand up to Dong Zhuojun's high-quality and well-equipped soldiers, and they still had almost the same losses as Li Yan's troops, dragging down the Yizhou Army with the same strength, making it unable to rescue the main force. Moreover, on the night of the Battle of Jiameng Pass, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao teamed up to capture Zhang Ren, who was very taboo for Kang Peng, which was also an unexpected joy.

"General Zhang Ren." When interrogating Zhang Ren, Kang Peng's wound was in sharp pain again, and he said with a snort: "I have long heard the general's prestige and admired it very much, and I heard that the general is not allowed to be reused under Liu Yan's seat because he studied under General Jia. And the prime minister is thirsty for talent, knowing people and making good use of them, why don't the generals abandon the darkness and turn to the light, return to the original appearance, make meritorious contributions, and worship the generals in the future, and not in vain The general's martial arts? ”

"Phew!" Zhang Ren spat heavily on the ground with a mouthful of phlegm, and shouted: "Loyal ministers don't care about the two masters!" You want me to surrender, don't think about it! ”

Kang Peng's face changed and threatened: "If the general does not surrender, the prime minister has his own sword and axe to serve the marquis." ”

"Kill if you want to!" Zhang Ren scolded: "Honest Dong thief, cruelty to the people, treachery, despicable and shameless, will be retribution from heaven in the future, don't think I will help the abuse." ”

Zhang Ren's attitude was so resolute, the generals in Kang Peng's tent were furious, and they all drew their swords to kill Zhang Ren, even Jia Xu, Lu Su and others felt that Zhang Ren had a firm position and persuaded Kang Peng to kill him to achieve his righteousness, but Kang Peng shook his head and said: "Hugh has to kill him, put him in prison for the time being, and let him be dealt with in the future." ”

"If you don't drop today, you won't drop in the future, Dong thief kill me quickly." Zhang Ren scolded and was escorted down, but Kang Peng turned a deaf ear as if he hadn't heard it, not that Kang Peng's heart suddenly became better, but that Kang Peng was worried that killing Zhang Ren would be unlucky for him, and the big ear killed Zhang Ren at the beginning, but the world was warped before it was unified, and the age of Boss Dong's body was not young, Kang Peng didn't want to repeat the mistake of big ears.

In the next few days, Kang Peng assigned Yizhou subordinate Fa Zheng to enter the prison many times to persuade Zhang Ren to surrender, but each time Fa Zheng was scolded by Zhang Ren and came back, with no effect at all, Kang Peng was not angry, but just made up his mind that he would rather imprison Zhang Ren until he died of old age than kill him himself.

After the news of Zhang Ren's capture was brought to the Sword Pavilion by Li Quan, Jia Long just replied lightly, "Got it." Not surprised and disposed of, the generals knew that he had a deep relationship with Zhang Ren's master and apprentice, like father and son, and persuaded him to try to save him, but Jia Long said lightly: "Who called him my apprentice, it is his duty to sacrifice his life to defend the people of Sichuan, not to mention my apprentice, I know that he will not disgrace me." Then he went to arrange the defense again, and all the generals said that Jia Long was ruthless, but only Jia Long's personal soldiers knew that in the next few nights, Jia Long's pillow was soaked with tears.

Seven days later, under Hua Tuo's careful treatment (patting the horse), Kang Peng's injury was so good that it was seventy-seven eighty-eight, and Wen Lu's injury was almost healed, Kang Peng immediately waved his army south, and attacked the Sword Pavilion through Guangyuan, not a day, the army arrived in Guangyuan, and Lu Bu's troops met, Kang Peng and Lu Bu's father and son met on the battlefield, naturally it was a sigh, Kang Peng praised Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu, and rewarded the three armies, and sympathized with the people of Guangyuan, so that the army and the people were happy. Only Wen Lu was unhappy, when she met Lu Bu, Lu Bu and Diao Chan, who had long been used to it, called her godmother, which made Wen Lu ashamed and angry, and seized the opportunity to scold Kang Peng in public, but unfortunately Dong Zhuojun was used to Dong Boss's virtue of being afraid of his wife, but no one cared, and they all treated her as a housewife.

On the next road to the Sword Pavilion, Kang Peng learned to be obedient, first assigned a large number of sappers to repair and pave the road, and sent a large number of scouts to repeatedly confirm that there was no ambush before daring to march in dangerous areas. Although this trick is stupid, it can't be said to be ineffective, at least several traps arranged by Jia Long to hit the morale of Dong Zhuo's army were seen through by Dong Zhuojun, so that the Yizhou army lost a lot of men and horses, and later Jia Long saw that there was no chance to take advantage of it, so he had to withdraw the ambush along the road, and all of them retreated to the Sword Pavilion to hold on, and no longer lost valuable troops in the field battle.

In the blink of an eye, the time is close to the cold winter wax moon, the sky of Yizhou flutters and falls the first snow in the three years of the Han Dynasty, the temperature drops suddenly, and it is much colder than in previous years, fortunately, Dong Zhuojun has been prepared, as early as January, Li Ru has already allocated a large number of thick clothes to transport to the army, plus Dong Zhuojun is mostly northerners, accustomed to severe cold weather, Kang Peng shamelessly ordered a large number of trees along the way to cut down a large number of trees for the army to heat, although the local vegetation was seriously damaged, but also made Dong Zhuojun in the cold combat strength is not damaged at all.

The miserable thing is that the Yizhou army is here, the Yizhou army is mostly from the warm Sichuan Basin, and it is not very adaptable to this rare cold, and Jia Long sent a letter as early as January to ask Liu Yan to send a sergeant's winter clothes has not been seen so far, although the Yizhou sergeants and the people of Yizhou who assisted the army have not yet froze to death, but they also have a lot of frostbite, and their combat power is invisibly damaged.

On this day, Dong Zhuojun's front army was less than sixty miles away from the Sword Pavilion, but the Yizhou Army's winter clothes had still not been delivered, and Jia Long was helpless, and the sergeant suddenly reported: "General, there are a large number of Yizhou people on the south side of the Sword Pavilion who want to see you by name." ”

Jia Long nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with Ben to meet the people." After Jia Long left the hall, a person suddenly turned out of the hall, sneakily followed Jia Long out of the hall together, this person was born with sharp head and sharp teeth, five short figures, it was Zhang Song, the supervisor of the Yizhou Army.

In fact, Jia Long knew that Zhang Song was spying on him, but Jia Long had a clear conscience and did not strictly guard against Zhang Song, but just strode to the south pass, and at this moment, under the south side of the Sword Pavilion, it was already densely packed with people from all over Yizhou, and the people were full of voices, and they couldn't see their heads at a glance, just shouting to see Jia Long.

Jia Long stood at the pass, hugged his fists at the pass and said: "Folks, I am Jia Long Jia Qiande, may I ask, what do you have to do when you see me?" ”

The people shouted one after another, and many people knelt down in front of Jia Long, holding large bags and small bags of objects in both hands, "General Jia, we heard that our soldiers didn't even have a winter coat on this snowy day, so we sent winter clothes to our soldiers." After that, the people of Sichuan took out all kinds of thick clothes, all of which were winter clothes worn by ordinary people for their own winter.

Jia Long was overjoyed at first, but Jia Long took a closer look at the people under the gate, and saw that there were only a few rich people in Sichuan, and the rest were mostly ordinary people in thin clothes, who were shivering in the cold wind and snow, Jia Long choked and said: "Fellow villagers, your hospitality Jia Long has understood it on behalf of the brothers, but your clothes are not rich, so you still keep yourself and wear them for the winter." ”

Before Jia Long's words fell, there was an uproar when he closed down, and everyone rushed to shout: "Old general, we are not cold. "Old general, your soldiers are here to protect us, even if we are shirtless and hungry, we also want our soldiers to be fed and clothed!" "Old general, if you don't accept our clothes, we won't kneel here and not get up." It's a lot of things, and so on.

One of the old and virtuous old men was pushed out by the people as a representative, and he stepped forward to kowtow to Jia Long and said: "Old General Jia, the soldiers are to protect us from the poison of the Dong Demon King, so they threw their heads and sprinkled blood on the battlefield. ”

"Old general, you can take it." "Brothers, put on our clothes." In the ardent feelings of the people in Sichuan, Jia Long and the soldiers of the Yizhou Army were moved to tears, and Jia Long suddenly knelt down to the people in Sichuan, crying: "Fathers and fellow villagers, we accept your hospitality. Jia Long swears to the sky here, even if the last drop of blood is shed, he will not let the Dong thief step into the middle of the river for half a step, if he violates this oath, God will damn him! Damned! The soldiers and civilians in central Sichuan cried together, the people thanked the army, and the sergeants encouraged each other and their morale was high. Only Zhang Song said disdainfully in his heart: "Continue to buy people's hearts, the more you are like this, the more Liu Yan will not be relieved." ”

Although the people in Sichuan sent a lot of winter clothes, but the Yizhou army soldiers are more, even if the winter clothes are completely distributed, the Yizhou soldiers who can wear winter clothes are not even a percent, so there is a touching scene among the Yizhou soldiers who are aroused bloody, the younger brother wants to give the winter clothes to the elder brother, the son wants to give the winter clothes to the father, the strong soldiers want to give the winter clothes to the old and weak soldiers, but the old and weak soldiers resolutely do not wear them, they all say that they are not good at martial arts, and they want to give the winter clothes to the soldiers with good martial arts, so that they can kill more enemies and push around. The scene was touching.

Seeing this scene, the veteran Jia Longna, who crawled out of the pile of dead people, was able to let go of this opportunity to be demoralized, frowned, and a plan came to mind, and immediately ordered to go down, forcibly distribute winter clothes to the strong soldiers, and ordered Lei Tong and Li Quan to lead half of each to the ambush on both sides of the road in front of the pass, and explain all kinds of affairs, and called Zhang Yi, and so on.

In the evening of the same day, the sky was still snowing heavily, one after another, dyeing the heavens and the earth into a piece of silver, Dong Zhuo's vanguard Wu Yi led five thousand soldiers along the road to explore and pave the road, and walked to the front of the Sword Pavilion thirty miles, Wu Yi was about to order to set up camp, and suddenly killed an army in front, and shouted for the first general: "I am Zhang Yi, the general of Yizhou, who is coming?" This general will not kill the unknown general. ”

Wu Yi looked at the army carefully, and saw that most of them were old and weak soldiers, and the banner array was not all in order, Wu Yi didn't care, and immediately stepped forward and replied: "I am Wu Yi, the pioneer of the Taishi, Zhang Yi Xiaoer, don't hurry up and get off the horse and surrender to avoid the disaster of breaking your neck." ”

Zhang Yi didn't answer again, patted the horse and stepped forward to take Wu Yi, Wu Yi caught it, the two didn't stand together, Zhang Yi pulled out the horse and left, Wu Yi saw that the terrain ahead was flat, and there were no trees and hills on both sides of the road, knowing that there was no ambush, so he drove the army to chase after him, chasing out about two or three miles, Wu Yi suddenly had a gong behind him, and countless Yizhou troops actually rushed to the ground from under the snow.

At this time, Zhang Yi also turned the horse's head in front, and Lei Tong and Li Quan surrounded Wu Yi's army, this is a tragic scene, the poorly equipped Yizhou army wore colorful and thick winter clothes, and well-equipped and dressed in a unified military winter coat Dong Zhuojun fought bloodily, Dong Zhuojun all underwent strict training, although surrounded but not chaotic, quickly formed a circle to meet the enemy, Yizhou army is a bloody and brave fight with Dong Zhuojun, although it often takes two or three people to cut down a Dong Zhuojun, But the Yizhou army, which was armed with rudimentary weapons, went forward without hesitation, and repaid the kindness of his father and fellow villagers with blood.

In the melee, Wu Yi was embarrassed with one enemy and three enemies, and at this moment the wind and snow were more fierce, and the reinforcements would definitely not be able to arrive quickly, Wu Yi was even more panicked, and his marksmanship suddenly showed a flaw, he was caught by Lei Tong, abandoned the gun and grabbed Wu Yi's steel gun, Wu Yi couldn't take it back for a while, Li Quan and Zhang Yi took the opportunity to knock Wu Yi off the horse, and the three joined forces to capture Wu Yisheng. Although this battle is a small encounter, it is the first time that the Yizhou army defeated Dong Zhuojun in the field, so that the shadow of the field that entangles the hearts of the Yizhou army is eliminated, and the news is transmitted back to the Sword Pavilion, and the soldiers and civilians of the Sword Pavilion cheered thunderously, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they were more confident in sticking to the Sword Pavilion.

There was also a defeated army that sent the news to Kang Peng, but Kang Peng was not so happy, Wu Yi's sister and his relationship were there, Kang Peng had to think of saving him back anyway, otherwise he would still have the face to go back to see Wu Xin? What's more, the Sword Pavilion didn't even see a shadow, so it lost so many soldiers first, which caused a big loss of morale. Jia Xu saw Kang Peng's thoughts and offered him a plan: "Taishi, Xiaosheng suggests that Xiaosheng enter the Sword Pavilion to persuade Jia Long to exchange Zhang Ren for General Wu Yi." ”

"Is that good?" Kang Peng was a little weak-hearted, in order to save his brother-in-law and put back a tricky enemy, Kang Peng was worried that the generals would not be convinced.

"No problem." Jia Xu was confident, "In order to save the generals, the Taishi did not hesitate to exchange the prisoners for the generals, and if it is spread out, it can show that the Taishi cherishes the generals." As for that Zhang Ren, although he is quite talented, he is still young after all, and he is not our opponent yet, and it will not have much impact if he puts it back. Jia Xu looked left and right, and the left and right people immediately withdrew from the tent, Jia Xu leaned into Kang Peng's ear again, and said with a sneer: "If the master is not at ease, he can use the means to deal with Guo Jia." ”

Kang Peng nodded with a smile, but said again: "The military advisor is the right-hand man of the true phase, why should he go to the Sword Pavilion to take risks in person?" Or let other people go, if the military advisor is unfortunate and sick, how about calling the true appearance? ”

"Thank you for your concern." Although he knew that Kang Peng was buying people's hearts, Jia Xu was still a little moved, "Although that Jia Long is like a god with soldiers, he is old-fashioned and upright, and he is extremely moral, and it will be no obstacle for Xiaosheng to go to the Sword Pavilion." Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Jia Xu's delicate eyes, "Xiao Sheng has another purpose to go, the Sword Pavilion is the first day of danger in Sichuan, plus Jia Long Lao'er is well mobilized, even if our army does not hesitate to attack, it may not be able to succeed, if the outside cannot be broken, Xiao Sheng will go in to see if it can be broken from the inside!" ”
