Chapter 495: Occupy Hanzhong
In Hanzhong, Zhang He stormed Yangping Pass, and when he learned that Cao Cao had gone to Bashu, he immediately sent troops to Hanzhong, without waiting for Zhang Jie's order.
The military division has been attacking for several days in a row, and there are many casualties. This Cao Ren is indeed not simple. I'm afraid it's hard to break!
Frustrated: Yangping Pass is the gateway to Hanzhong, and Cao Ren is Cao Cao's brother, of course, he will not give up easily. Let's attack! Even if you can't take Yangping Pass, at least you can attract Cao Ren's troops. Relieve the pressure on the soldiers and horses from Jingzhou.
Zhang Hedao: Did the military advisor mean that the main guild sent troops from Jingzhou to Hanzhong?
Frustrated: With the old man's understanding of the lord, the lord will never give up the opportunity to advance with such a thing. Maybe the army is coming to Xicheng and other places. At least it's past mediocrity! Don't worry!
Sure enough, a few days later, Wei Yan's 30,000 soldiers and horses invaded Hanzhong and first took Shangyong, Shangyong, and Xicheng. Cao Cao did not have any soldiers and horses to guard these places. Wei Yan didn't take it much effort. A few days later, the troops came to Nanzheng.
At this time, Nanzheng only had 5,000 soldiers and horses, and Le Jin was the main general of the city. Seeing that the Wei army had arrived at the city of Nanzheng, it was definitely difficult for him to hold it.
At this time, Le Jin found someone to inform Cao Ren, the guard general of Yangping.
Cao Ren received the Wei army under the southern Zheng city and knew that it was over. But everyone's family members are all Nanzheng. can only let Xia Houlan take people to pick up their families out of the city, and order Lejin to lead everyone to break through.
On the evening of the second day, Le Jin took advantage of Wei Yan's failure to besiege the city, and led most of the generals and families under Cao Cao's tent to break through the siege and go straight to Yangping Pass.
Wei Yan took Nan Zheng without much effort.
Le Jin was in a hurry and did not inform the Yuan brothers, causing Yuan Shao's wives and concubines to become captives, including Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, Guo Tu, Wen Chou and others.
Yuan Tan said: Justice, it would be better to surrender in Qingzhou if you knew this! At that time, Zhang Jie also promised to give a Qingzhou assassin history. Now, hey!
Eldest son, forget it now! Zhang Jie once promised not to hurt the lord's family, I don't think Zhang Jie will lose his word. Otherwise, do you really think we can escape from Qingzhou to Hanzhong?
Although we are taking the sea route, if Zhang Jie intercepts him in Jingzhou, we will not be able to reach Hanzhong. This is also what the figure came up with later.
When Le Jin arrived at Yangping Pass, Cao Ren saw that everyone and their families had arrived, and knew that there was no point in staying at Yangping Pass any longer. If you defend it again, you will let Wei Yan open and close the attack.
So he opened the gate overnight and fled south, entered Bashu, went to Luo County, and joined Cao Cao.
And frustrated Zhang Jie occupied an empty pass. The gateway to Hanzhong, Yangping Pass was finally taken.
Zhang He said with a smile: Cao Cao lost Hanzhong, but he went to rob Liu Bei's Bashu.
He said with a smile: Hanzhong, although it is rich, but after all, there is only one county, and Cao Mengde can't change too many soldiers and horses no matter how much he tosses. If he wants to develop, he must take Bashu, otherwise he will be trapped in Hanzhong sooner or later.
That's why Cao Cao will, desperately go south to Bashu. In fact, this is also unacceptable. I want to take care of both ends, how can it be possible!
Let's go! Let's go to Nanzheng and see which general the lord sent to occupy Nanzheng, otherwise Cao Ren wouldn't have run so fast! Xiongguan is gone.
Frustrated, Zhang He came to Nanzheng, and Wei Yan went to the city gate to greet him.
I've seen the military advisor, Wei Yandao!
Haha, Wen Chang, you are getting more and more capable of fighting! Occupy Nan Zheng so quickly. Frustrated with a smile.
Wei Yandao: How can it, in fact, I didn't fight much, the guard saw that we had arrived, and ran away overnight. Later, when the general inquired, it turned out that there were only 5,000 defenders. If I knew this, I should have surrounded the four gates first, so that I could catch Cao Cao's family. What a pity! As the lord said, the boiled duck flew again.
Frustrated: Okay, the lord is not a person who persecuts other people's relatives, just run!
Tell me about the war in Jingzhou!
Oh! At that time, I attacked Jiangxia. …………
Then Wei Yan talked about the battle of Jingzhou.
Frustrated: The Lord Gregorian is harmful, and he sent you thousands of miles to attack Jiangxia. This is a dangerous move, and no one in the world dares to play like this except for the main father.
Hehe, more than 100,000 or 200,000 allied troops, so that tens of thousands of cavalry could not be defeated. Now that we occupy Hanzhong again, in the old man's opinion, the world will be unified soon. Maybe in two or three years.
Fortunately, after more than ten years of suffering, it is time to end.
Wei Yandao: Military advisor, the Yuan Tan brothers let me be captured, but none of them ran away, what do you say we should do? Or............ Wei Yan made a slashing action!
No, the lord didn't let him kill, let's secretly kill the Yuan brothers, which will trap the lord for injustice. It's better to leave it alone, just let people watch it. Don't be lazy. After all, it was once a party! Frustrated.
Promise!
Chief! Now I'm afraid we're going to stay in Hanzhong for a while. You also send some people to guard Yangping Pass! Let's wait for the next order from the lord! Let the old man handle the affairs of government affairs!
Promise!
Pang Tong came to Chengdu, and since Cao Cao had already withdrawn his troops, Pang Tong easily entered the city.
Zhuge Liang, except for Yuanzhi, he personally met Pang Tong, after all, he was a former friend!
Xu Shu said: Shiyuan, Zhang Jie asked you to persuade us to surrender, right?
Pang Tong smiled: To be honest, Zhang Jie is asking me to touch the bottom of the two of you. Of course he wants you to surrender, but he's a man who loves talent so much that he appreciates you both.
Every time Yuan Zhi, Kong Ming, and Zhang Jie send envoys to Chengdu, they will first ask the envoys to greet the two of you on his behalf.
Yuanzhi's mother has been staying in Yingchuan, and Zhang Jie also sent someone to send gifts and greetings. To be honest, I'm a little jealous.
I once asked Zhang Jie, why do you think so much about you, after all, the two sides are enemies of life and death.
Zhang Jie said: He has never regarded you as enemies, it's just that you have different political views, and you can still be friends in private! It can be seen that Zhang Jie's heart is broad.
I don't have anything to say about the situation in Yizhou now, the two brothers are only eight years old, if we still talk too much, we don't know how to practice. I'm still trying to talk to you guys. As for the other commanders, they promised not to intervene again, let alone persuade them to surrender.
We only drink and catch up, and don't ask about political affairs. Come, drink, drink!
Pang Tong was happy. But Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and the others are not in the mood to drink! Because Liu Bei died, Nanban saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and began to make trouble again. Zhuge Liang wanted to send troops, but Chengdu only had 50,000 soldiers and horses, and he had to guard against Cao Cao. I couldn't leave for a while.
Besides, Liu Bei's subordinates have always lacked talents, and even if they send troops, they don't know who to send. For the Nanban, it is not only necessary to fight a war but also to develop politics. Seven points to play, three points to support. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu couldn't do this at all.
Both of them are now big, and it's not good to talk to Pang Tong.
Xu Shu couldn't stand it anymore, and said: What is Zhang Shimin's plan now? I have been guarding Ba County for more than a month, and I have not sent troops, do you want me and Kong Ming to send troops to Jiangzhou?
