Liu Xie finally persuaded Zhang Fei to surrender in his heart, and let him understand that there was no way out with a boss like Liu Bei. Only with him can Liu Xie apply what he has learned all his life.

After setting up the camp, the front Tanma came back and reported that Huang Zhong and Kong Ming had arrived at Jiameng Pass, and had fought several times against the pass, and fought several times alone, Zhang Ren was defeated by Huang Zhong and retreated to the pass.

Kong Ming also did not order a strong attack, but stationed down, waiting for the army to come to help.

However, it was said that Liu Xie's 400,000 troops were stationed and stretched for more than ten miles. Liu Xie asked the scouts to explore the terrain everywhere, although he had a small dictionary, but he still had to grasp the real-time terrain, plus in early spring, the trees had just sprouted, and many places were still withered grass, so they needed to be attacked.

The army is numerous, and in the event of a fire attack and strong winds, it is easy to cause large casualties.

With Zhen Mi here, Liu Xie was obsessed with her beauty, and after he was stationed, he stuck with her. In the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, Diao Chan is the number one beauty, but Diao Chan is already in her thirties.

And although Zhen Mi is second, she is two years younger than Liu Xie, only seventeen, and her youthful aura is incomparable to the big beauty Diao Chan.

And Zhen Miqin, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, dance and music, are proficient in everything. In the barracks, Liu Xie was accompanied, accompanied by singing and dancing, and accompanied by soft words.

Even so, Liu Xie will not abandon the conquest plan. Rest overnight along the way, and continue to rush the next morning, still marching slowly, striving to reach Jiameng Pass at the same time as the whole army.

Although Jiameng Pass is not far from Hanzhong, but the army marches slowly, and Liu Xie basically only travels for half a day, camps in the afternoon, and Zhen Mi has fun in the imperial camp, and loves with it at night, until the third day at dusk in front of Jiameng Pass, which was followed by Kong Ming.

Kong Ming's vanguard army had arrived two days ahead of schedule.

At night, Liu Xie asked the generals, Zhuge Liang said: "It is very easy to capture Jiameng Pass, just set up a well fence, catapult, sunset crossbow, and shoot indiscriminately, you can easily take the pass." ”

Liu Xie smiled and said: "Exactly, it's just that I've been waiting for a little time." ”

Liu Xie asked: "Is the military advisor thinking that I am walking slowly?" ”

Zhuge knelt down and said: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”

Huang Yueying said: "The march is urgent and slow, although Jiameng Pass is stuck in the main road into Shu, but after all, it is small, how can we defeat the iron hooves of our Han army?" Your Majesty is coming slowly, that is Your Majesty's confidence and strategizing. The husband was anxious, it was the first time he fought for His Majesty's vanguard, and he was eager to make meritorious contributions. ”

Liu Xie smiled and said: "Kong Ming, please get up, or your wife will say it." Don't worry, follow me, and there will be opportunities for you to make contributions in the future. It's not too early now, and I'll tackle it tomorrow. ”

A general said: "Your Majesty, we have already reached the pass, so it is better to start taking the pass at night." ”

"What's the hurry? Doesn't it take time for large instruments to be reassembled? The march is tired, rest tonight, and tackle the key problems tomorrow, so it is decided. Spread my will, strengthen vigilance, and beware of robbing camps. I'm going to rest first. ”

Liu Xie left as he spoke, leaving the generals anxious in the camp. Everyone talked about it, and some came and said: "Your Majesty is fascinated by Concubine Zhen, and he is not sad about the attack at all, how can this be good." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing, Huang Zhong was not anxious, and said: "I've been here for three days, and if I don't attack, my big knife is going to rust, and the military advisor still has the leisure to laugh?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Your Majesty's new Na Jia, and she is young, energetic, and obsessed with women, it is understandable that she will naturally get tired after a long time." ”

Huang Yueying said angrily: "Kong Ming, are you men like this?" Do you mean that after a long time, you will get tired of me? ”

Huang Yueying was furious in the hall, and all the generals snickered. Zhuge Liang said: "Madam, how can I? You are beautiful, I can't spoil you for a lifetime. ”

"You pull it down, you say you like me on the surface, but you actually think I'm ugly in your heart."

"I don't dislike you for being ugly! I, Kong Ming, swear to the sky, I only love Yueying in this life, and I will never take a concubine, if I break my oath, I will die young! ”

Huang Yueying hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "Bah, what are you talking nonsense?" I believe you, I believe you can't do it yet? ”

However, Zhuge Liang did not take a concubine after that, and spent his life with Huang Yueying.

Among the generals of the Han army, he was another person after Zhao Yun who only married one wife for life. One article and one martial arts, Wen has Zhuge Liang, only marries Huang Yueying, Wu has Zhao Zilong, and only marries Ma Wenlu.

The two showed their affection in front of the generals, and couldn't help but attract a boo, Zhuge Liang clapped his hands and said: "Okay, let's disperse, wait for tomorrow Your Majesty has his own plans, tomorrow, there will be a vicious battle, everyone eat and sleep well." ”

Early the next morning, the Han army's engineering troops began to erect a variety of large siege equipment, including well fences, catapults, and sunset crossbows.

Thanks to the breakthrough in rubber technology, the well bar has a stronger ability to move. It is divided into two parts, the lower part is the car body, the upper part is the main body of the well bar, when not in use, the well bar main body is disassembled on the car body, which is convenient for marching transportation, and the car body is relatively fixed, can not be disassembled.

The wheel part of the car body, the outer ring is wrapped with solid rubber colloid, which can reduce the bumps and the loss of the components, and at the same time, the metal helical compression spring technology has also made a breakthrough, and the shock absorption system is designed for the car body, so that the well rail car, catapult and other vehicles can be transported more easily.

However, all vehicles are still all human or animal power, and it will take time to leave the power of the machine.

Similarly, gunpowder power technology has not been able to achieve a breakthrough.

The Sunset Crossbow has also been upgraded to make it even larger, with flaming arrows or fiery meteors projected at a longer range and more powerful.

The Han army began to assemble the equipment at Guanxia, which to a certain extent caused a lot of psychological pressure on the Shu army at Guan. At the same time, Liu Xie asked the soldiers to tie the persuasion leaflets to the arrows and shoot them into the pass, which caused another blow to the Shu army in his heart.

Liu Xie instructed the generals: "Zhang Ren is a famous general of the Shu army, a loyal and brave man, excellent martial arts, you must be cautious after encountering it, you can surrender if you can, you really can't surrender, and then decide whether to kill him." If you are not defeated, you can avoid it. ”

Huang Zhong said: "Just a nameless Shu general, why worry about it, wait for the old minister to go, go to him to the head." ”

Liu Xie said: "I know that Han Sheng is brave, but Zhang Ren is by no means idle, do you know where he is taught?" ”

All the generals said they didn't know.

Liu Xie said: "Zhang Ren is a disciple of Tong Yuan, a master outside the party!" He is the same master as Zhang Xiu and Zilong! ”

Seeing that Liu Xie was so popular with Zhang Ren, all the generals did not dare to slack off. The assembly of large equipment was not fully installed until noon, during which Zhang Ren led his army out of the city several times, but was killed by the Han army.

In the afternoon, Liu Xie ordered an attack on Jiameng Pass.
