On this day, Liu Bei was reading a document in the mansion, and the guards came to report: "There is a person who calls himself Xu Fu and comes to ask to see the general." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Liu Bei ordered to advance, and after talking, Liu Bei praised his military talent and stayed in the army as a military division.

Another year passed, and Liu Zhang of Yizhou sent Zhang Song, a middle school in Yizhou, to Xinye to invite Liu Bei into Sichuan to fight against Zhang Lu.

This Zhang Lu ancestral home is Yuzhou Peiguo people, a big family, it is said that it is the descendants of Zhang Liang, the famous minister of the early Han Dynasty, his grandfather Zhang Daoling believes in the way of the heavenly master, heard that the mountains and rivers of Shu are beautiful, very suitable for practice, so he entered Shu to seek a place to retreat, and then practiced to stay in the local missionary, and was called Zhang Tianshi. Zhang Lu's mother believes in the ghost Tao, cultivated to the depths, there is the effect of rejuvenation, sixty or seventy people look only in their twenties, the locals call it the ghost mother, the Taoist is profound, the best at seeing the qi, knowing yin and yang, saying that Shu has the air of the son of heaven.

After Yizhou Mu Liu Yan arrived in Shu, he had great respect for Zhang's mother, and often invited her to enter the palace to ask for advice on the way of cultivation. In fact, the Five Bucket Rice Sect is a branch of the Heavenly Master Dao, because it only needs to receive five buckets of rice to join the sect, and it is rumored to be the Five Bucket Rice Sect.

Liu Yan heard that Shu had the spirit of the Son of Heaven, and saw that the court was chaotic, and the princes of Kwantung fought against each other, so he had different intentions, and through Zhang Lu's mother, he appointed Zhang Lu of the Heavenly Master Dao as the Governor of the Yi Sima, and Zhang Xiu of the Wudou Mi Sect as the Sima of the other departments, and led the believers to attack Hanzhong.

Taishou Sugu was killed, and Hanzhong was occupied by Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu. Unexpectedly, this Zhang Lu had already been instructed by Liu Yan to kill Zhang Xiu when Zhang Xiu was unprepared, and appointed himself as the Taishou of Hanzhong to cut off the contact with the Han court.

Liu Yan appointed himself as a county official in Yizhou on the grounds of traffic interruption, and many officials were not satisfied, and were removed by Liu Yan by means of repelling, and his prestige gradually established.

Unexpectedly, God did not grant Liu Yan's wish, and Liu Yan died of illness three years later.

After Liu Yan's death, Liu Yan's son Liu Zhang inherited Yizhou Mu, because Zhang Lu did not listen to the dispatch, in a fit of anger, Zhang Lu's mother, younger brothers and sisters were killed, and since then they have formed a deep feud. Liu Zhang sent Pang Yi as a general to conquer Zhang Lu, and the two sides fought fiercely in recent years, but retreated in vain, and instead appointed Pang Yi as the Taishou of Ba County.

Three years ago, Ma Chao was killed by Cao Cao because of his father, and killed Wei Duan in anger, but Han Sui united with Wei Duan's subordinates, killed Ma Chao's family, and drove Ma Chao out of Liangzhou. Ma Chao fled to Hanzhong to attach himself to Zhang Lu.

Ma Chao's courage has already spread all over Hanzhong, seeing Ma Chao come to vote, Zhang Lu was overjoyed, and appointed Ma Chao as the capital to talk about sacrificial wine, and his position is second only to Zhang Lu.

Ma Chao asked Zhang Lu to send troops to help him fight back to Liangzhou, as long as he killed Han Sui, he could unite Liangzhou and Hanzhong as one, Zhang Lu originally intended to move, Hanzhong Gong Cao Yanpu persuaded: "Han Sui has been running Liangzhou for many years, and with the help of Wei Duan's subordinates, it is not easy to seize Liangzhou." Moreover, the hussar general and Yongzhou Mu Liu Shi had already been ordered by the Son of Heaven to guard Yong, Liang, and Sanzhou. Liangzhou has long been eyeing and delaying, as the saying goes: How can others be allowed to sleep soundly under the couch? I waited for the army to send troops to Liangzhou, which just gave Liu Shi an excuse to send troops to Liangzhou, so it's better not to attack Liangzhou! so as not to set yourself on fire. ”

When Ma Chao heard Yan Pu mention Liu Shi, he had palpitations and was not insisting.

Zhang Lu looked at Ma Chao's face and understood that this Ma Chao must have suffered a loss in the hands of Liu Shi, so he was uneasy in his heart, and asked Yan Pu: "Will this Liu Shi conquer Hanzhong again after he gets Liangzhou?" ”

Yan Pu said for a long time: "Since Shou Chenggong and Uncle Dong Guo were unfortunately killed by traitors in order to save the Son of Heaven from the tiger's den, and the Son of Heaven also died due to injuries, this big man has shown a trend of competing for the deer, and the Son of Heaven exists in name only. Yuan Shao's defeat was only a matter of time, and in the end it would only be a dispute between the two Liu brothers and Cao Cao. Liangzhou is down, and Hanzhong is naturally difficult to protect. There is only one place that can still resist the danger. ”

Zhang Ludao: "You mean Yizhou? ”

Yan Pu nodded and said, "Exactly!" This Yizhou road is dangerous, it is difficult to climb to the sky, as long as you hold the passes everywhere, there is nothing you can do about it! It's just that Liu Zhang is incompetent and not good at military affairs, as long as we can take Yizhou, take Yizhou as the rear, and manage it properly, maybe we can form a full momentum with Cao Liu. ”

When Zhang Lu heard this, his eyes flashed, and he said hatefully: "Liu Zhang killed my mother and brother, this hatred is not shared, Meng Qi is willing to help me?" When the matter is completed, the little girl Qiying promises to marry you as a wife, how about it? ”

Ma Chaoda said happily: "I don't dare to ask for what I want!" ”

Zhang Lu's eyes flashed and said, "Okay!" With Meng Qi as the vanguard, I will rectify the army and horses, and attack Yizhou to avenge my mother and brother! ”

Seeing that Zhang Lu had decided to attack Yizhou, Yan Pu groaned for a while, and said: "Although Liu Zhang of Yizhou is weak, the only way to enter Sichuan is Micang Road and Jinniu Road. The Golden Bull Road is the closest, but the Golden Bull is the most dangerous, the Micang Road connects to Brazil, as long as the Dianjiang River and Jiangzhou are captured, you can reach CD Mianzhu and Fuxian along the inner water. It's just that this Brazilian beneficial state can be stationed, and now there are Pang Yi in Lang, there is a veteran Yan Yan in Jiangzhou, and there are more famous generals Gao Pei and Yang Huai in Shu on the Golden Bull Road. Therefore, the attack on Yizhou must be considered in the long run. ”

Zhang Lu frowned and said, "I know this, but what Gong Cao means?" Don't you fight? ”

Yan Pu said: "It's not that you don't fight, but you have to think long-term." Now that Pang Yi has been away for a long time and is very arrogant to Liu Zhang, we might as well send someone to Brazil to contain and create discord between Pang Yi and Liu Zhang. In addition, by the capital to say that the sacrificial wine rate elite soldiers to attack Baishui Pass, capture Jiameng Pass, if you can beat the Sword Pavilion, then go straight to Zilu, if the Sword Pavilion is difficult, then turn to attack Langzhong, the two armies attacked, first seize Brazil, and then step by step, bypassing the Sword Pavilion to take Fu County, Mianzhu, Luo County, and finally capture the CD Zhang Lu heard the joy: "According to Gong Cao, Meng Qi attacked Shu along the Golden Bull Road, and the public conquered Brazil." ”

Ma Chao was ordered by Zhang Lu to lead the army from Hanzhong to attack Baishui Pass along the Golden Bull Road.

The Baishui guards Gao Pei and Yang Huai were anxious to Liu Zhang, and on the other hand, they were defending the city.

Ma Chao attacked for nearly a month, and it was difficult to advance an inch. One day, Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Tie was bored in the camp, found a small boat, and went down along the white water, but more than ten miles, saw a cliff steep, looked extremely beautiful, leaned the boat over, and took a closer look at this cliff wall turned out to be two cliffs combined, there is a small slope along the joint part, extending obliquely upward, although the horse is difficult to walk, people can definitely climb up.

Since his father's death, this Ma Tie has been following his eldest brother Ma Chao, although he is small, he has experienced a lot of battles, and suddenly thought: "If you climb up this slope, can't you go around to the back of Baishui Pass?" ”

Ma Chao was worried about the lack of progress in the attack, and when he heard the news of the younger brother, although he was annoyed that the younger brother ran around at will, he still attached great importance to the news of the younger brother, and sent Pang De and Ma Dai to take five hundred people to the slope before dawn, and quietly climbed up.

Ma Chao took the opportunity to attack the city, Gao Pei and Yang Huai panicked, abandoned the city and left, just ran into Pang De, Gao Pei was caught off guard and was cut off by Pang De, Yang Huai fled with a knife.

Ma Chao took Baishui Pass, sent people to report to Zhang Lu, and the army rested in Baishui Pass for a day, and then pounced along Baishui to Jiameng Pass.

The defenders of Jiameng Pass, Liu Bi and Deng Xian, had already received reports from Gao Pei and Yang Huai, and had been strictly guarding against Ma Chao.

Ma Chao attacked fiercely for more than ten days, and when he saw that he couldn't take it, he left a guard under Jiameng Pass, and led his own army to Langzhong with Pang De to attack Pang Yi.
