Xia Houde disagreed: "The Sichuan soldiers came from afar, they were tired for days, and they went deep into the battle situation, so there was no plan!" ”

Zhang He sighed: "Don't underestimate the enemy. And stick to it. ”

Gao Ze stepped forward and said: "I am willing to borrow 3,000 elite soldiers to attack it, and I should defeat it." ”

Xia Houde then divided his troops to Gao Ze and went down the mountain to meet the enemy, and Yan Yan came to meet him. Liu Xian admonished: "The sun has sunk in the west, and the sergeants are all coming from afar to work, and it is advisable to rest and lean less for the time being." ”

Yan Yan smiled: "No." This god-given miracle is against the sky. ”

After Yan Yan finished speaking, he made a big noise. Gao Ze led troops to fight, and Yan Yan led troops to pick up. Yan Yan longitudinal horse swings a knife straight to take the high rule, less than five together, a knife to cut the high is under the horse.

The Shu soldiers shouted to kill and come up the mountain, and Zhang He and Xiahou Shang hurriedly led the army to meet them. Suddenly, I heard a shout from behind the mountain, and the fire rose to the sky, and it was red up and down. When Xiahoude raised troops to fight the fire, he met Li Yan, Li Yan commanded his subordinates to surround Xiahoude, personally drew his sword and stepped forward to fight with him, less than twenty times, Li Yan slashed Xiahoude under the horse with a sword.

It turned out that Yan Yan had asked Li Yan to lead the army to ambush in a remote place in the mountains in advance, and when Yan Yan's army arrived, he would kill it and set it on fire, and the firewood and grass were piled up, and they were lit together, and the flames flew up, shining on the entire mountain.

Li Yan beheaded Xiahoude and killed him from behind the mountain. Zhang He and Xiahou Shang couldn't care about each other, so they had to abandon Tiandang Mountain and go to Dingjun Mountain to go to Luyi.

Yan Yan and Li Yan guarded Tiandang Mountain, and Jieyin flew to Yizhou. When Liu Du heard about it, the crowd would rejoice.

Fa Zheng said: "In the past, Cao Cao surrendered to Zhang Lu, and set Hanzhong, not because of this momentum, Tuba and Shu, but left Lu Yi and Zhang He to guard the two generals, and led the army back to the north, which is also a miscalculation." Now Zhang He's new defeat, the sky is lost, if the lord takes this time, raise a large army to go to the expedition, Hanzhong can be determined; Establish Hanzhong, and then train the troops to accumulate millet, watch the provocation and wait for the gap, enter to please the thief, retreat can defend itself. This day and time cannot be lost. ”

Liu Du, Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu and others all agreed with Fa Zheng's suggestion, and Liu Du then ordered Zhao Yun and Ma Chao to be the vanguard, and Liu Du, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng personally led 100,000 troops to choose a day to take Hanzhong.

Liu Du spread everywhere and made strict preparations. Autumn 215 A.D., an auspicious day in the seventh month. Liu Du personally led the army out of the camp of Jiameng Pass, summoned Yan Yan and Li Yan to the front of the village, and rewarded the two of them.

Liu Du first attacked Wudu with Pan Feng, Zhang Ren, and Wu Lan, and blocked the Cao army in Guanzhong to reinforce Hanzhong at any time in the area of Xiabian; He led Fa Zheng, Zhao Yun, Yan Yan and others to lead the main force to attack Yangping Pass, which was defended by Lu Yi.

When Cao Cao learned of this, he immediately ordered Cao Hong, Cao Zhi, and Cao Xiu to reinforce Hanzhong, and fought a fierce battle with Liu Dujun in Xiabian. I never thought that Cao Zhi at this time was not like in history, but only wrote well, and he was quite scheming, he saw through Pan Feng's plan, and let Cao Hong and Cao Xiu lead the main force to defeat Wu Lan.

Wu Lan was defeated and fled into Yinping, where he was killed by the local forces, and then Cao Xiu defeated Zhang Ren and Pan Feng, and Cao Zhi and Cao Hong pacified Lei Ding, the local leader who responded to Liu Du.

Liu Du was attacking Yangping Pass and couldn't get out of his body and couldn't rescue Pan Feng and Zhang Ren, so he hurriedly sent a message to Jia Xu, Liao Li, Liu Ba and others stationed in Yizhou to send troops to rescue.

Liu Ba asked Yang Hong about this matter, and Yang Hong said: "The land of Hanzhong is the throat of Yizhou, the pivot of our country's survival, if there is no Hanzhong, there is no Shu country, and this family is also in trouble; In today's situation, men should go to war, women should participate in transportation, and send troops to help. Don't hesitate! ”

At this time, Shu County was too law-abiding and was following Liu Du to conquer Hanzhong, so Liu Ba then appointed Yang Hong as the Shu County Taishou, Yang Hong handled all things in Shu County in an orderly manner, and Liu Du let him officially take office.

Cao Cao learned that Liu Du wanted to raise the power of Shuzhong to fight for Hanzhong, but the situation was quite unfavorable for him, so Cao Cao personally garrisoned Chang'an. Previously, Han Xuan appointed Changsha Taishou Du to attack in order to lure Cao Cao's Wancheng guard Hou Yin to surrender, in order to prevent Hou Yin from leading troops to make trouble in the rear, Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren to lead troops to quell Hou Yin's rebellion.

Liu Du attacked Yangping Pass for several days, and asked Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng. But seeing Fa Zheng's plan, he said: "Lu Yi and Zhang He are both Yuan Shao's old generals, and Lu Yi has been in battle for a long time, and he can't be defeated, so he can only outwit." The lord can lead the elite soldiers to attack Zhang He with all his might, Zhang He is invincible, Lu Yi will allocate half of the soldiers and horses to reinforce Zhang He, and then the lord can send a fierce general to attack Lu Yi at night, and Lu Yi can be broken! ”

"That's what I want!" Liu Du couldn't help but applaud, and Zhuge Liang also recognized Fazheng's suggestion.

Zhuge Liang asked: "Who of the generals dares to attack the camp of Luyi?" ”

I saw a majestic white-robed general under the hall come forward and bowed: "The last general Zhao Yun is willing to go!" ”

Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment and said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong is going, I ask Fa Xiao to help you." Do everything with consideration. I then called for men to answer. ”

Liu Du looked at Fa Zheng and pleased: "There is Lao Xiaozhi!" ”

Zhao Yun and Fa Zheng agreed, and the two led the headquarters soldiers. Zhuge Liang said to Liu Du: "Although Zilong is brave and strategic, but Lu Yi is not an idle person, even if he is afraid, he will not succeed." Now that he is gone, he must send men and horses to meet him. ”

Liu Du then summoned Ma Chao, and Zhuge Liang said to Ma Chao: "The general led a team of men and horses, and sent a surprise army from the small road to meet Zilong, if Zilong wins, there is no need to fight; If Zilong is lost, he will go to the rescue. ”

Zhuge Liang sent Liu Xian and Meng Da again: "Lead 3,000 soldiers to the dangerous places in the mountains, set up more banners, and make the enemy soldiers suspicious with the momentum of our soldiers." ”

The three of them each led their troops. Liu Du only sat in the Chinese army, and his views were closely cooperating with Zhuge Liang. If nothing else, this Lu Yi will definitely be like Xiahou Yuan in history, folded in Dingjun Mountain! Liu Du looked forward to it with joy, and he was getting closer and closer to that position.

However, he said that Zhang He and Xiahou Shang came to see Lu Yi and said: "Tiandang Mountain has been lost, and Xiahou De and Gao Ze have been broken." Now I heard that Liu Du personally led the troops to take Hanzhong, and he could quickly play the king of Wei, and he sent elite soldiers and fierce generals early to respond. ”

Lu Yi sent someone to report to Cao Hong, and Cao Hong went to Chang'an at night to inform Cao Cao. Cao Cao was shocked, and hurriedly gathered strategists and generals, and discussed sending troops to save Hanzhong immediately.

It turned out that Cao Cao, after his power was expanding day by day, and then called the king of Wei, aroused the opposition of the loyal Han faction. Wei Huang and the imperial physician Ling Yoshimoto, Shaofu Geng Ji, Jin Yi and others launched a rebellion, and attacked Wang Bi, the prime minister of Changshi, in Xudu at night, burning the gate and shooting Wang Bi in the shoulder. Fortunately, the spies who were full of favors found it in time and reported to Cao Cao, who hurriedly sent Wang Bi and Yingchuan Diannong Zhonglang to pacify Yan Kuang. Wei Huang, Yoshimoto and others were defeated and killed, and Cao Cao razed Wei Huang and others to the three clans.

After Cao Cao put down the rebellion, he went to Chang'an and prepared to come to Hanzhong to command. At this time, Sima Yi also said: "If Hanzhong is lost, the Central Plains will be shaken." The king resigned from Laoruo, and he had to ask for it himself. ”

Cao Cao regretted and sighed: "I hate that I didn't need to say anything at that time, so that it was like this!" ”

Cao hurriedly passed the order, gathered the soldiers and horses he brought from Yuzhou and the 100,000 soldiers and horses of Chang'an to conquer Liu Du.

Liu Du learned that Cao Cao personally led a large army to come, so he sent the general Chen Shi to attack Ma Mingge Dao, intending to cut off Hanzhong's connection with Xu Du. Cao Cao sent Xu Huang to meet the attack, but Chen Shi was defeated by Xu Huang, and Liu Dujun suffered many casualties.

Liu Du adopted Fa Zheng's suggestion, gave up attacking Yangping Pass, crossed the river to the south, and camped in Dingjun Mountain. Dingjun Mountain is the place where Cao Jun stores grain, and Lu Yi was afraid that it would be lost, so he led the army to rob Dingjun Mountain.

Liu Du sent Yan Yan to lead the army to burn the antlers of the camp at night, and Lu Yi sent Zhang He to guard the east and the south by himself. Liu Du transferred more than 10,000 soldiers and horses into ten divisions to storm Zhang He, Zhang He personally went into battle to fight, and Liu Du was difficult to overcome for a while.

At this time, Lu Yi personally led elite soldiers to rescue Zhang He, and Liu Du sent Zhao Yun to lead the army to intercept and kill. The two formations were in a circle, and Zhao Yun was about to provoke Lu Yi to fight. The two generals exchanged horses, and the battle reached more than 20 times, and the Cao camp suddenly withdrew the troops.

Lu Yi hurriedly turned his horse back, and was killed by Zhao Yun for a while. Lu Yi returned to the battle and asked the commander angrily: "Why Mingjin?" ”

Zhang He replied: "I saw that there were several Shu soldiers in the mountain recess, and I was afraid that it was an ambush, so I urgently recruited the general back." ”

Lu Yi also thought that Liu Du had ambushes, so he couldn't hold out.

Zhao Yun forced to the foot of Dingjun Mountain and discussed with Fa Zheng. Fa Zheng pointed to the mountain and said: "Dingjun Shanxi, there is a high mountain majestically, and there are dangerous roads all around. On this mountain, you can look down at the reality of Dingjun Mountain. If the general obtains this mountain, Dingjun Mountain will only be in the palm of his hand. ”

Zhao Yun looked up and saw that the mountain was slightly flat, and there were some people on the mountain. On the second watch of the night, Zhao Yun led the sergeant to beat the drum and kill him to the top of the mountain. There are Xiahou Shang guarding this mountain, and there are only a few hundred people. At that time, Xiahou Shang saw that Zhao Yun's brigade was embraced, so he had to abandon the mountain and leave.

Zhao Yun got the top of the mountain, and this mountain was opposite Dingjun Mountain. Fa Zheng said: "The general can stay in the middle of the mountain, and live on the top of the mountain. When the soldiers arrived, I raised the white flag as a signal, but the general did not move; When he was tired and unprepared, I raised the red flag, and the general went down the mountain to strike him. Wait for work with ease, and you must win. ”
