At the beginning of the first month of the twentieth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu wanted to raise troops to attack Cao Cao, and the strategist Xu Gong admonished: "The prime minister's power is huge, and he must not be the enemy, otherwise he will suffer from it. Persuade you to drink a glass of wine and think twice! ”

Hearing Xu Gong's words, and thinking of Sun Ce's entrustment when he was dying, he broke off his thoughts in frustration.

Liu Xuande was in Sichuan, received the letter from the queen of Fu, and immediately cried bitterly, I want to kill Cao Cao, wave the army to the north, no one can reverse the world!

I'm afraid that if I can't do anything, I will get angry.

Liu Xuande hesitated and was about to send troops, but Xu Shijin tried to dissuade him: "My lord entered the middle of the Sichuan, died Huang Zhong, died phoenix chicks, Wei Yan broke his arm, and the evil deeds were revealed, should the lord return empty-handed?" Even if the lord wants to wave his army north, he should break Ma Chao. ”

"Back then, Dong Cheng plotted to kill Cao Cao, hidden the silk book in his sleeve, failed to do anything, but suffered from it, the result was that Concubine Dong was killed, Dong Cheng died, Ma Teng died in battle, and only the lord was spared and escaped from Xuchang. Today, Cao Cao has as many as one million troops, and he is not enough to fight against it! Resisting it is like looking for death! I advise you to think twice! ”

Liu Xuande said: "The words of the military advisor are very good, and I almost killed myself!"

So he did not send troops and waited and saw what happened.

After seeing that Sun Quan and Liu Bei were slow to act, he showed it from the letter again, who knew that the matter was leaked, Dian Wei took the soldiers to patrol the river to obtain the messenger's letter, dedicated to Cao Cao.

Fu Quan's family was exterminated, Cao Cao didn't know about it, and Dian Wei asked Fu Hou to kill Fu Hou and kill his son.

Dian Wei entered the hall with his sword, drew his sword and pointed at the emperor, and scolded: "If you dare to harm my lord, you should die!"

Emperor Han Xian was shocked and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Dian Wei didn't think about killing Emperor Han Xian, this trip was just to scare him.

He arranged Xuchang City properly, and went to Sichuan to report to Cao Cao, Cao Cao met with Dian Wei in Sichuan, and said that Dian Wei was really loyal and noble!

At this time, Xun Yujin said: "Sun Quan and Liu Bei are difficult to attack for a while, if the lord wants to attack, he should make proper arrangements, he must first attack Dongchuan Zhang Lu to extinguish his sharp spirit, and increase his troops before he goes out!"

Strategist Jia Rudao said: "Xun Yu's words are extremely reasonable, the highlands of Sun Quan Mountain in Eastern Wu are dangerous and difficult to attack, Liu Bei of Jingzhou should not be in a hurry, and the lord should take Hanzhong first."

Cao Mengdena gave up attacking Sun Quan and Liu Bei, and then joined the army of 300,000 and went to Dongchuan.

Cao Mengde led the army to the west, the 300,000 army was divided into three teams, the front team was the vanguard of 50,000 soldiers and horses, led by Xiahoudun and Zhang Tai, Cao Mengde led the army behind, and ordered Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan to escort grain and grass.

Cao Mengde was about to raise troops to attack Hanzhong, and Zhang Lu, who had already made a detailed report, Zhang Lu was anxious to suggest to his brother Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei said: "The most dangerous pass in Hanzhong is Yangping Pass, which can be set up around Yangping Pass, and lead a large army to defend to resist Cao Cao.

Zhang Lu followed his words, on the one hand, he sent a book to Ma Chao, and on the other hand, he sent a large army to Yangping Pass to reject Cao Cao.

The generals Yun Lang, Wu Lang, and Peng Yue led troops into Yangping Prefecture, set up camp in the valley, and founded a large camp to resist Cao Cao!

Xiahoudun and Zhang Tai's army had arrived, and they saw that there were more than a dozen large camps around Yangping Pass, and the lord of Hanzhong had already prepared.

Along the way, the army walked, traveled a long distance, the sergeant was tired, set up camp twenty miles away from the pass, rested for the night, and tackled the key problems tomorrow.

Suddenly, a fire broke out in the village, the tent was burned, the grain and grass caught fire, the shouting of killing shook the sky, Yun Lang and Peng Yue came to rob the camp, Xiahoudun and Zhang Tai were defenseless, resulting in the defeat of the former army and retreated to see Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was furious and said, "The two of you have been fighting on the march for many years, don't you know that you have to prevent people from robbing the camp at night, so prepare early!"

Cao Mengde was furious and ordered the two to be killed, and with the discipline of the Ming army, the officials pleaded to save him from death!

The next day, Cao Mengde led the army as the front army, saw that the mountains were treacherous, the mountains and forests were steep, and it was difficult to take over, and he was afraid that there would be ambushes in the valley, so he did not dare to enter, so he led the troops back.

The next day, Cao Cao only took Dian Wei and Xu Chu, three people and three horses to watch, Cao Mengde looked at the camp, very elegant, unable to capture it for a while! said to the two: "This Yangping Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is extremely difficult to win, how is it good?"

At this moment, the sound of killing under the mountain shook the sky, Yun Lang, Peng Yue, and Wu Lang led the troops to kill, and Dian Wei hurriedly said: "The lord can move quickly, and I will block the chasing soldiers."

Anyway, with a knife in hand, fight hard!

Dian Wei is extremely brave, Hanzhong generals Yun Lang, Wu Lang, and Peng Yue are not opponents, seeing that Dian Wei is so fierce, the rest of them dare not step forward.

Xu Chu protected Cao Mengde, turned the hillside, only to see a team of men and horses in front of him, as it was, it was Xiahou and Zhang Tai, heard the shouting and quickly led the troops to rescue, killed Wulang, Yunlang Peng Yue, Hanzhong people and horses were defeated, Cao Cao returned to the camp, and rewarded the four generals.

Since then, the two sides have confronted each other for more than 50 days and refused to fight.

Ma Chao was in Xichuan and received a letter from Zhang Lu, but he had no intention of helping, so he repelled the envoy and refused to send troops.

That Zhang Lu has always had the heart to destroy himself, and now he is self-reliant, Zhang Lu hates himself even more, he wanted to destroy Zhang Lu, but he can't bear it because of his feelings, and now Cao Mengde wants to kill Zhang Lu, just to get rid of the big trouble in his heart for himself! Therefore, there is no help.

Cao Mengde was outside Yangping Pass, and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong confronted each other, and the two sides held each other for more than 50 days, winning and losing each other!

In the march of the military advisor Zhuge Liang, he said to Cao Mengde: "The lord might as well retreat!"

Cao Mengde was puzzled in his heart, "He also! ”

The military advisor Zhuge Liang said: "This is a plan to lure the soldiers, that Hanzhong's proposition Lu is very afraid of the lord, coupled with the lord's army to suppress the city, so that he is very vigilant, the lord can pretend to be called a retreat, the actual other plan, so that Zhang Lu is lax, lack of defense, the prime minister retreats, they will definitely attack, our army is divided into light cavalry robbery and killing the back road, so that it can not take care of the head and tail." Hanzhong can also be obtained! ”

Cao Mengde was overjoyed, Zhuge Liang's meaning, he still understands it very well, this is called the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and it is also called the braided plum blossom plan!

So, Cao Mengde pretended to withdraw his troops, and after taking Yangping Pass with 3,000 light horses, Cao Mengde ordered the army to rise up.

Yun Lang heard that Cao Mengde was going to retreat, and asked the rest of the people to discuss: "Cao Cao withdraws his troops, surprises, attacks him unprepared, and captures Cao Cao alive!"

Wu Lang said: "It's not credible, then Cao Mengde is scheming and untrustworthy, we should not move!"

Peng Yue said: "Cao Mengde is scheming, who knows whether the withdrawal is true or false, he should sue the lord on the one hand, and hold on to it on the other hand, stick to the city, and don't go to war!" If it is Cao Cao's strategy, then Yangping Pass is not guaranteed! ”

Yun Lang said: "You can't wait, I'll lead my troops to it."

Yun Lang raised 30,000 troops to chase Cao Cao, leaving only a small number of men and horses to stick to the camp.

It's a foggy day.
