Chapter 379: Double Breakthrough (1)
Cao Xing basically remembered it all now, this Zhang Xiu is undoubtedly Zhang Ji's nephew, Zhang Ji was killed, and it is reasonable for him Zhang Xiu to avenge Zhang Ji. ∈,2∞3↓o
As for Zhang Xiu himself, he also has some ability, and has left a mark in history, the most famous of which is that he designed an ambush for Cao Cao and killed Cao Cao's eldest sons Cao Ang and Dian Wei.
Because of Cao Xing's crossing and a series of butterfly effects, Dian Wei and Cao Ang in this life did not die, but Zhang Xiu still occupied Wancheng, fought with Cao Cao for a long time, and relied on the excellent long soldiers under his command to defeat Cao Cao and almost died there, so this young general is famous enough.
Although Zhang Xiu also did the same thing as Lu Bu in Yanzhou to fight against Cao Cao, but then again, Cao Cao is a famous hero in the Three Kingdoms, coupled with the establishment of Wei and the growing strength of Wei, Zhang Xiu, a small Wancheng, can no longer withstand the pressure, and was finally driven out of Yanzhou by Cao Cao.
As for why Zhang Xiu came to Shu, it has something to do with Zhang Ren, it is said that Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu are brothers, Zhang Ren, who is a senior brother, has become a powerful general in Shu, so he naturally has to take care of him, a little junior brother, not to mention that Zhang Xiu already has a force in hand, and his ability is not bad, so under Zhang Ren's guidance, Zhang Xiu successfully entered Shu and became a general.
All kinds of things add up to form today's situation, Liu Yan and Zhang Lu have formed a team, and Zhang Xiu is charging in front, shouting to kill Cao Xing, Zhang Ren is vigorously supporting in the back, anyway, this is the situation, for Cao Xing, there is still more or less pressure, after all, he is facing all the stakes, but even so, Cao Xing still followed the original strategy, that is, waiting, waiting for the enemy to make a mistake.
Therefore, in the next period of time, Cao Xing has been passively defensive, what he has done is to spread the Jinyi Guard, use the bribe insiders, and spread the eyeliner in Hanzhong to listen to the news.
When a month passed, a new opportunity arose.
Although Liu Yan is the king of Shu, this time he made full sincerity in order to fight against Cao Xing, not only came to the front line in person, but even blindly attacked Cao Xing, so that Cao Xing couldn't fight back at all.
Liu Yan's performance is so outstanding, this seems to make some people feel some self-blame, Zhang Lu thinks that he has some misunderstanding Liu Yan, although the relationship between him and Liu Yan was the same before, but this time someone else Liu Yan really wanted to help him repel Cao Xing, he still had time to be suspicious of others here, it was really with the heart of a villain, and the belly of a gentleman.
Zhang Lu wanted to let Liu Yan's army enter the pass to get some supplies, but he was unanimously opposed by his men. One of the strategists named Yan Pu said to Zhang Lu, the heart of harming people is indispensable, but the heart of guarding people is indispensable, although Liu Yan is very honest now, but no one can figure out Liu Yan's true thoughts, in case Liu Yan repels Cao Xuan after hitting a rake, Zhang Lu does not defend in time, then Hanzhong will be in danger.
Zhang Luwen finally nodded when he heard this, after all, as a monarch, what he values most is the power in his hands, and he must not let his Hanzhong lose anything. 】,@∞o
However, although Zhang Lu has settled down like this, he still feels a little guilty in his heart, others Liu Yan is charging in front, and he has been keeping his hands on Yang Ping and not doing anything, is there something unreasonable about this, Zhang Lu said his problem.
And after hearing this, his advisers also fell into silence for a while, and finally Yan Pu said to Zhang Lu: "If the King of Han wants to repel Cao Xing, it is not impossible, just send 10,000 strong cavalry, bypass the main battlefield, and go directly to Tongguan, and then make a look of going straight to Tongguan, Tongguan is now not enough guards, Cao Xuan heard that Tongguan is in crisis, and there will be chaos in every inch, and then he can only return to Tongguan, so that the danger of our army will be solved!" ”
When Zhang Lu heard this, his eyes lit up, and what Yan Pu said seemed to be very reasonable.
However, before Zhang Lu could speak, someone immediately stood up against Yan Pu's words, only to see a middle-aged man with a mustache sneering at Yan Pu, and then said.
"To put it lightly, more than 10,000 cavalry, but also the elite soldiers of the elite soldiers, if you want to temporarily piece together such a force, I don't know how much manpower and material resources it will cost me Hanzhong, and the situation is unpredictable along the way, in case we meet Cao Xing's main force, then our more than 10,000 people will not be consumed, so that the cheap person can only be Cao Xuan or Liu Yan, and now Liu Yan finally wants to help us as a watchdog, since he wants to be, let him continue to be a good manpower, help us guard this gate in Hanzhong, We can sit here and sit back and relax, waiting for him and Cao Xing to have internal friction, no matter which side suffers serious losses, for us, it will be beneficial and harmless! ”
Yan Pu looked at the person who spoke, this person was none other than Yang Li, for Yang Li's words, Yan Pu gave a fierce rebuttal, first of all, he pointed out that now Zhang Lu and Liu Yan are in the period of cooperation, since they are allies, everyone should be honest with each other, at least before Cao Xing is not defeated, there can be no intention of harming allies, this is the most basic point, if this is not done, the alliance will be disintegrated internally.
Secondly, Liu Yan has now set up the army outside Yangping Pass, and even went to the front line to fight against Cao Xing, compared to Liu Yan, Zhang Lu's side did not have much loss. Now it is just to form more than 10,000 elite cavalry, although it costs some money, but compared with Liu Yan's loss, it is a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning.
However, after hearing this, Yang Yan directly scolded the absurdity, their Hanzhong and Shu are completely two places, even if everyone cooperates temporarily, it will always be hostile in the future, consuming the enemy's strength and preserving their own vitality, this is the best choice.
Now is a God-given opportunity, if you still lose your strength to help Liu Yan, then you are really a fool.
Yan Pu must have disagreed with Yang Li's words, so the two started a heated debate in the lobby, and the debate was red-faced, but when it came to the back, Yan Pu gradually lost the battle.
It's not because Yan Pu's strategy is not good enough, nor because his speech is not clever enough, even Yan Pu said in the early stage that he was orderly, his thinking was stable and not chaotic, and he was a little dumbfounded when he said Yang Li, but in the later stage, Yang Li's direct look, and the people sitting in the lobby were coaxed in groups, only to see Yang Ang, who was sitting next to Yang Li, stand up, and pointed at Yan Pu with bad intentions, and then another guy named Yang Huai also stood up and said that Yan Pu's strategy didn't work at all, and then another person surnamed Yang stood up......
This time Yan Pu's situation was a little embarrassing, he forgot to glance at the people in the lobby, although there were many generals and strategists, but at this moment he found that in addition to Zhang Luben's family, the second most powerful family seemed to be this Yang family, so Yang Yan took the lead, and his clansmen echoed it, but these people of his, everyone in Zhang Song is in a high position, seeing this, Yan Pu sighed helplessly, even if he has a good strategy and a good strategy, but others are more powerful, He couldn't argue.
And Zhang Lu sat on the main seat, watching the two sides fighting back and forth, not giving an inch, he also felt a headache, but the people on both sides were making a loyal appearance, and he couldn't tell who was the traitor.
Seeing that Yan Pu's side seemed to be about to lose, Zhang Lu hurriedly dissuaded both sides, he asked the people on both sides to sit down first, and drank a cup of tea calmly, he beckoned, and immediately a servant brought the tea.
Yan Pu just sighed helplessly, sat down, looked out with some hollow eyes, he could also deduce from Zhang Lu's attitude, Zhang Lu probably wouldn't use his strategy, he was depressed in his heart, and he was in no mood to drink any tea.
And Yang Yan also sat down angrily, although there are many people on their side, but Yang Yan has a feeling, what is this Yan Pu, don't you know that in Hanzhong, their Yang family is quite powerful, and they dare to compete with him, is it really tired of being alive?
It happened that there was a eunuch who came to Yang Yan with a cup of tea at this moment, but the eunuch's hand seemed to be a little shaking, and he accidentally spilled a little tea on the table.
When Zhang Lu saw this, he waved his hand and said: "Yang Aiqing, it's just that, don't lose your temper so much next time, you can see that it scares the next person!" ”
Zhang Lu spoke, Yang Yan couldn't help but give face, he finally sat down, but he still glared at the eunuch viciously, yelled, let the eunuch get out, the eunuch hurriedly packed up the tea set, and retreated tremblingly, so that Yang Yan just gave up, but what Yang Yan didn't see was that when the eunuch retreated, his trembling body suddenly stopped, and his eyes when he looked at Yang Yan were full of ruthlessness.
That night, at midnight, the eunuch came to a secluded part of the palace, and he forgot to look at it, and there was no one around, so he took out a small note from his bosom, and then stuffed it under a tree and pressed it with a stone. After that, he left in a hurry.
Not long after, a breeze blew, and the leaves were as dark as ever, but a man dressed in a night suit crept under the tree, reached out and took the note.
In just two hours, the sky had just dawned, and Cao Xuan had seen this note when he came together, and when Cao Xuan looked at Yan Pu's plan, he was a little surprised in his heart.
The battle launched by Cao Xuan this time was the largest military dispatch launched by Cao Xuan in his lifetime, not to mention the entire strength of the Qin State, but at least two-thirds of the strength was used. The remaining one-third of the force was just enough for the defense.
Therefore, the soldiers and horses stationed in Tongguan at all times, that is, less than 10,000 people, and the generals stationed there are just one of Wei Yan's deputy generals.
If Zhang Lu really adopted Yang Li's statement, not to mention sending more than 10,000 elite cavalry, even if he sent more than 10,000 infantry, according to the map they planned, quickly bypassed the battlefield and came to Tongguan, he could really catch Cao Xing off guard, after all, if Tongguan was lost, Cao Xing would be really dangerous, and he had no way to return to Chang'an from the battlefield and lose contact with Chang'an, then the matter would be big, and it was likely to lead to instability on Cao Xing's side.
When Cao Xuan saw this, his back was covered in a cold sweat, but fortunately, when Cao Xuan continued to look down, he saw that Zhang Lu did not use Yan Pu's strategy, since he did not use Yan Pu's strategy, it means that Zhang Lu is still more inclined to the person called Yang Li, seeing the name of Yang Li, Cao Xuan couldn't help frowning, and after a while, Cao Xuan finally remembered.
This guy seems to have had a few scenes in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Although there are a few scenes that can be regarded as a supporting role in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this supporting role is not very glorious, and it can even be said to be a harlequin.
There is a fight scene in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which can also be described as very exciting, that is, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, the two fought 300 rounds during the day, regardless of victory or defeat, and lit torches at night, and fought another 300 rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. A large part of Ma Chao's fame came from that battle. After all, it is an honor to be able to single-handedly take on Zhang Fei.
It is said that Liu Bei entered Xichuan for the first time, and he was invited by Liu Zhang to help Liu Zhang defend Zhang Lu, so Liu Bei was in Xiameng Pass, waiting for Zhang Lu to fight him.
As a result, Zhang Lu sent Ma Chao, and Liu Bei also sent Zhang Fei, Liu Bei saw that Ma Chao was a white-robed general, and he was on a par with Zhang Fei, and he had some love for Ma Chao in his heart, so he started to accept it.
So Zhuge Liang came up with a plan for Liu Bei, that is, to separate Ma Chao and Zhang Lu. In fact, the strategy used by Zhuge Liang is also very simple, according to the record in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang directly sent a messenger to find this Yang Li, and gave him a lot of money, Yang Li, happy, went to Zhang Lu to say bad things about Ma Chao in front of him.
As for what to say, it is estimated that Ma Chao has the heart to defect to the enemy, and persuaded Zhang Lu to make plans as soon as possible, Zhang Lu listened to these words and directly cut off Ma Chao's food, this time Ma Chao's army collapsed without attack, and was finally forced to take refuge in Liu Bei.
Thinking of this, Cao Xuan showed a smile, he had already thought of a way to break the enemy, and this time, not only to break Zhang Lu, Cao Xuan also wanted to arrest Liu Yan and clean up together. 11
