Chapter 383: Pacifying Hanzhong

When Yang Ang reacted, it seemed that it was too late, because the Qin army had already guarded the gate of Yangping Pass, as long as someone guarded the gate, it would be good, Cao Xing led people directly to the door with lightning speed.

Once Yangping Pass is lost, then the Hanzhong crisis, Yang Ang's first reaction is. He drew his sword and ordered the soldiers around him to charge as he pleased, even if he fought to the death, he must regain the ownership of the Yangping Gate, and he must not let the Qin army enter.

Yang Ang took the weapon and took the lead in charging, and he was about to rush to the city gate, but at this moment, there was a snap, an earth-shattering sound, and the explosion was in Yang Ang's ears, Yang Ang's whole person was frightened, and he involuntarily stopped, and slowly looked back to see that a military head beside him had been blown up.

Looking forward again, Cao Xing, who was charging on a heavy horse, was only a hundred meters away from Yang Ang at this moment, that is, the stunned kung fu just now, Cao Xing had already taken people closer to Yang Ang, seeing that Yang Ang was completely timid at this point, and under the cowardice in his heart, he watched Cao Sex and others ride their fast horses and break through with their muskets.

Cao Xing took the lead, taking the lead, while riding a horse, while manipulating the fire gun in his hand, a few gunshots rang out, Cao Xing fired a few shots in a row to kill a few people, which greatly boosted the morale of the Chen army behind him, all the Qin troops were high, under the leadership of Cao Xing, began to kill frantically, the defenders of Yangping Pass.

This night, around Yangping Pass. It can be said that the shouting of killing shook the sky, and it never stopped for a moment, but by daylight, this fight finally ended.

Cao Xuan jumped off the war horse and took off his helmet, his face was completely black at the moment, the smoke of the war could make Cao Xuan become dusty, and at this moment Chen Hu brought someone to report.

"King, the 20,000 defenders of Yangping Pass, as soon as 13,000 were killed by our army, and the remaining 7,000 were all captured by our army! The main general, Yang Ang, is also among them! ”

After listening to this battle report, Cao Xing nodded indifferently, which was in his expectation, the terrain of Yangping Pass was very dangerous, and it took one night to take it, which can be said to be very difficult.

Chen Hu asked Cao Xuan if he wanted to continue the assault, because Hanzhong was in front, but Cao Xuan smiled indifferently, waved his hand, and asked Chen Hu to lead the soldiers to rest in the same place first, and he wanted Zhang Lu to worry for a while.

Really. When the news of the loss of Yangping Pass reached Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu's whole person was so frightened that he fell to the ground from his throne, and the whole person's expression was terrified.

And the strategist he sat down, Yan Pu and the others saw Zhang Lu like this, so they hurried to help him up, although Yangping Pass was lost. Yan Pu also felt very flustered, but he still tried to calm himself down and said to Zhang Lu.

"King Han, please don't lose confidence because of this, although Yangping Pass is very important to our army, but in the end he is just a checkpoint at best, Cao Xing They conquered Yangping Pass, presumably they also paid a huge price, I estimate that in a short period of time, he will not be able to threaten my main city of Hanzhong!"

What Yan Pu said also made sense, so Zhang Lu also stood up tremblingly, and breathed a long sigh of relief, just as Yan Pu said, anyway, Cao Xuan can't fight for a while, it's better to die than to live, can't you just find a way when the time comes?

But just when Zhang Lu just thought of this, suddenly another herald hurriedly came to report, looking at the herald, who was dusty and dusty, and had many wounds, Zhang Lu's heart was shocked, and he only heard the herald say to Zhang Lu with a crying voice.

"Report, report to King Han, Xiameng Pass has been occupied by Zhang Ren!"

Hearing the news, Zhang Luwan sat directly on the ground as if she had been struck by lightning for nine days.

In fact, when the news of Liu Yan's death came, Zhang Lu's whole person was still a little wooden, Liu Yan was his ally, but he was also his opponent, he didn't know Liu Yan's death, whether it was good or bad for him, until last night Zhang Ren quickly came to Hanzhong with soldiers and horses, and asked Zhang Lu to let him go.

At that time, Zhang Lu's thoughts were the same as Yang Ang's, other people's kings were dead, so don't embarrass others anymore, so he finally let Zhang Ren and others go of Hanzhong.

However, what he didn't find was that when Zhang Ren passed through Hanzhong, he looked at the surroundings of Hanzhong, and a look of uncertainty flashed in his eyes.

However, when Zhang Ren passed through Xia Meng Pass, the situation was different, the guard of Xia Meng Pass received Zhang Lu's order, and Zhang Ren was defenseless against the whole person, and as a result, Zhang Ren directly ordered his soldiers to kill when he passed the checkpoint, and quickly took Xia Meng Pass.

As a result, Yangping Pass in the north of Hanzhong has been subordinate to the Qin State, and the Xiameng Pass in the south is subordinate to the Shu State, and Zhang Lu's Hanzhong, just such a city, is sandwiched between the two countries, without any foreign aid, this time, Zhang Lu's whole person is completely confused.

And Yan Pu and the others also sighed beside them, in fact, from the moment Liu Yan was killed, they should have expected the outcome of this war, but the worst they thought should be that Shu withdrew its troops, and Qin also withdrew its troops, and everyone went back to recuperate for the time being, but they never expected that Qin's firepower was so fierce, and they didn't expect Shu's betrayal. Hanzhong has now become someone else's bag, either belonging to the Qin State or the Shu State.

The funny thing is that Zhang Lu's Han King, who has not been in office for half a year, is about to be pulled down by others in such a mess.

Ten days later, Cao Xuan personally led the army to the city, at this moment Hanzhong had no defensive strength, and Zhang Lu's character was extremely weak, and finally took refuge in Cao Xing, handed over Hanzhong, and the Han State established by Zhang Lu also perished.

Cao Xing accepted Zhang Lu's surrender, and considering that Zhang Lu was still quite prestigious in Hanzhong, he was named a marquis, the rank was Tinghou, and the marquis of the Three Kingdoms period should also be divided into ranks, such as Guan Yu's Lingshou Pavilion, Tinghou is the smallest, and there are county marquis Guan Neihou Guan wai marquis and so on, but this is also a symbol, at least Cao Xing showed the world his tolerance and generosity towards the enemy.

Zhang Lu also accepted the reality, thinking that his country, after all, had already died, and now he was just a king of the dead country, but he could still save his life, so he accepted it calmly.

However, after conquering Hanzhong, new problems have come out, some people have proposed, if you just take a Hanzhong, it is not a complete Hanzhong, and now the Xiameng Pass in the south of Hanzhong has been occupied by Shu, you must know that Xiameng Pass is an important gateway between Shu and Hanzhong, who occupies Xiameng Pass, it can be said that it occupies the door of other people's homes, as long as you are willing to enter at any time, which is a dangerous signal for Cao Xing.

Although Cao Xing also sent some troops to Xiameng Pass, but in the end Cao Xing gave up this plan, because Shu is not a vegetarian, Zhang Ren returned to Shu and immediately set up Liu Zhang as the king in accordance with Liu Yan's will, and after Liu Zhang became the king of Shu, he also waved his hand and directly promoted everyone, Zhang Ren became the governor of Shu and was in charge of the military power of Shu.

Zhang Ren's attitude towards Qin was very resolute, and after he became the governor of the capital, he immediately asked Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, for his life. Xiangxia Meng Pass sent additional troops and horses, Liu Zhang did not refuse, and directly agreed, and now Zhang Ren put on a posture of garrisoning Xia Meng Pass, preparing to raid Hanzhong.

However, Zhang Ren's posture is just pretending to scare people, according to Fazheng, Zhang Ren is attacking and defending.

The Shu State had just lost the battle, and the kings were all captured and killed by Cao Xing, even if Zhang Ren wanted to fight this battle, but his subordinates did not allow it, and the morale was not high enough, so he couldn't fight at all.

Zhang Ren did this just to be wary of Cao Xing, so Cao Xuan could put Zhang Ren's threat aside for the time being, but it was the other side that gave Cao Xuan a headache, that is, Han Sui in Liangzhou.

Although Han Sui occupies Liangzhou, his personality seems to be incompatible with Cao Xing, and he will never be able to put it in a pot together, although there has been a short cooperation before this, but Han Sui's impression of Cao Xuan has never been very good, and he is always on guard.

Now Cao Xuan occupies Hanzhong, which aggravates his vigilance against Cao Xing, so he took the initiative to contact Shu, and reached a certain agreement with Liu Zhang, Han Sui also began to form a border in his general, although his border can not reach Hanzhong directly, but it still gives Hanzhong a certain threat, in the face of these two situations, Cao Xing can only choose to stop temporarily. The situation in Hanzhong has been stabilized for the time being.

However, Cao Xing did some things before leaving Hanzhong, what Cao Xing did was nothing more than for the stability of Hanzhong, Cao Xing canonized Zhang Lu as the Pavilion Marquis, and saved Zhang Lu's life, which also made the people of Hanzhong who returned to Xiang eat a reassuring pill, after all, Cao Xing was so generous to Zhang Lu, and he would not embarrass them as people.

Cao Xing moved all the new policies he had implemented in other places, which in general vigorously encouraged farming, recruited soldiers, and implemented the military merit system.

All his advanced handicraft and light industries were moved over, so that the broad masses of people have a broader future for development, and also made Hanzhong have unlimited possibilities.

However, Cao Xing's doing this is bound to touch the interests of some people, when those people jumped out, Cao Xuan just showed a cruel smile to them, and he waited for this moment, and it was not a moment and a half.

didn't say much, the flying fish suit embroidered the spring knife, Che Wu took people to personally come to the door to arrest people one by one, and finally arrested nearly 5,000 people, although this is a bit cruel, after all, killing thousands of people at a time, Cao Xing's reputation will definitely be greatly damaged, but Cao Xing feels that all this is still worth it, and the troubled times need to be broken. Only when it is broken can it be better.

When those people from the family who were dissatisfied with Yang Li's main family stood up, all that was waiting for them was a guillotine, and Yang Li's was completely panicked when he saw this.

He hurriedly bought off all his relationships, just asking to see Jia Xu, after seeing Jia Xu, he no longer had the arrogance of the past, but begged Jia Xu for mercy in a low manner.

"Mr. Wenhe, you must save me, you promised me before, I have a family property in the Qin State, now you can't kill me, what should I do with those lands that kill me!"

When Jia Xu heard this, he smiled, he took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then explained to Yang Li.

"Lord Yang, I, Jia Wenhe, have always been a good talker, I won't move the fields and properties you have arranged in the Qin State, and all of them are yours, and I have done what I promised, but the person who wants to kill you is not me Jia Xu, but the King of Qin, if you want to find it, go to the King of Qin yourself, anyway, I can't help you anything!"

When Yang Yan heard these words, the whole person was stunned, and at this moment he understood that he had been cheated by this Jia Xu.

Until the moment he died, he was unwilling, because he had already shown Jia Xu three times that he had not touched a cent of the 100,000 taels of gold, whether it was his real estate in Hanzhong or in Qin, as long as Jia Xu took it casually, he just begged Jia Xu to find a way to even kill him.

However, Jia Xu's answer was just a smile, and just like that, Yang Yan and other jumping families were all sent to the guillotine.

Cao Xing's real purpose is to stabilize the situation, so he can't blindly kill people, one day Cao Xuan suddenly visited someone's home, and that person was flattered to come to Cao Xing, and even felt quite nervous, because he was Yan Pu, Zhang Lu's subordinate.

However, Cao Xuan smiled and told Yan Pu not to panic, he came to Yan Pu sooner or later, not to find trouble with Yan Pu, but to invite Yan Pu to come out of the mountain, so that he could join him in the Qin State and become one of his advisors under Cao Xing's account.

There is no other reason, about Yan Pu's strategy for Zhang Lu, Cao Xuan was very surprised when he saw it, if Zhang Lu could listen to Yan Pu's strategy and send strange soldiers to attack Tongguan, it is especially known what kind of battle is fought now, but one thing is for sure, Cao Xuan definitely did not enter Yangping Pass so easily.

Therefore, Cao Xuan still admires Yan Pu, Yan Pu looks a little embarrassed, Cao Xuan didn't say much, anyway, Cao Xuan only left one sentence, Yan Pu is free now, whether he wants to come to Qin State or not, it is Yan Pu's personal power, he Cao Xuan has no right to interfere, even if Yan Pu doesn't come to Cao Xing, he can't do anything to others.

Then Cao Xuan left, but Cao Xuan was still quite confident in Yan Pu, and after a few days, Yan Pu finally came to Cao County by himself to express his willingness to enter the Qin State and join the WTO as an official, Cao Xuan applauded and laughed after listening to it.
