Listening to Huo Jun's words, Liu Chan secretly applauded in his heart.

Speaking of which, Liu Bei's ability is not very great, he is not as good as Cao Cao in terms of ability, and he is not as good as Sun Quan in terms of family background, but he can gather a bunch of people who are willing to swear allegiance to Liu Bei, which is really a bit puzzling for Liu Chan.

Could it be that this is the spirit of the legendary king! Thinking of this, Liu Chan shook his head helplessly, and saw that Zhang Xiu had been driven out by the stick, so he also returned to the room.

Zhang Xiu was driven out of Jiameng Pass and rushed back to Nanzheng overnight to report the matter to Zhang Lu.

"Damn!" Zhang Lu slapped the table fiercely: "Huo Jun Xiao'er, it's just a nobody, how dare you do this, come here, immediately mobilize an army of 30,000, I want to attack Jiameng Pass!" ”

For Jia Mengguan, Zhang Lu has been coveting it for a long time. After all, Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang have a hatred for killing their mother, so Zhang Lu is like killing Chengdu day and night to kill Liu Zhang. But Jia Meng Pass has become an insurmountable barrier for Zhang Lu.

Now Zhang Lu heard that Liu Bei's troops were sent to Chengdu, and there was only an unknown Huo Jun and 2,000 men and horses on Jia Mengguan, so Zhang Lu moved his mind and sent his subordinate Zhang Xiu to persuade Huo Jun to surrender.

"Lord, wait!" Hearing that Zhang Lu was going to send a soldier to Jia Mengguan, a person jumped out, Zhang Lu looked back and saw that this person was Yan Pu, the chief think tank under him.

Zhang Lu dissipated his anger and asked, "Strategist, what are your clever plans!" ”

"Lord, the terrain of Jiameng Pass is dangerous, it can be said that it is a husband and a man, if the lord attacks Jiameng Pass, I am afraid that he will suffer heavy losses!" Yan Pu spoke.

"Strategist, what do you say you should do?"

"Lord, Jia Meng Pass is a difficult bone to gnaw, now that Jia Meng is in Liu Bei's hands, Liu Zhang's heart is not comfortable, as long as Liu Zhang can be said to send troops to Jia Meng Pass, when they are both defeated, let's take advantage of the fisherman!" This is a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf! Yan Pu said.

"Good plan, but how can I get Liu Zhang to send troops to Jiameng Pass?" Zhang Lu asked.

"Don't worry, the lord has an old relationship with Huang Quan under Liu Zhang, and he will write to Huang Quan in the next, saying that Liu Zhang will send a team of men and horses to go up along the Langshui River and directly attack Jiameng Pass!" Yan Pu said.

"Huang Quan? Huang Quan is a famous man in Shu! What if he saw that this was a ploy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf? Zhang Lu asked.

"Rest assured, the lord is now where Liu Bei's back road lies! If Liu Zhang occupies Jiameng Pass, even if he cuts off Liu Bei's back road, this move will be of great benefit to Liu Zhang! So even if Huang Quan knew that this was our plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, he had to fall for it! ”

"Okay, just act according to the military advisor's plan!"

……

Chengdu.

Huang Quan received a letter from Yan Pu.

In an instant, Huang Quan understood that Zhang Lu was planning to compete with the clam for the fisherman's profit, but the plan Yan Pu said was very feasible. Send a team of men and horses to go up along the Langshui, just to avoid Liu Bei's attacking army, if you can capture Jiameng Pass, it is equivalent to cutting off Liu Bei's back road, this temptation is too great!

Just as Yan Pu thought, Huang Quan knew that this was a trap, but he still jumped down without hesitation.

in the Great Hall.

"Lord, the minister thinks that a team of men and horses should be sent to Langshui by waterway and rush to attack Jiameng Pass! Now Jiameng Pass is Liu Bei's rear, if you can surprise attack and capture Jiameng Pass, Liu Bei is like a turtle in an urn, let me slaughter it! Huang Quan suggested to Liu Zhang.

As soon as Huang Quan's words fell, Liu Ba, Xu Jing, Dong He and others next to him immediately supported him.

Liu Zhang nodded, although Liu Zhang is not very good at marching and fighting, but he is not ignorant, hearing Huang Quan's suggestion, he also nodded, and said: "Now I still have 40,000 troops in Chengdu City!" I think it's better to divide 20,000 horses and go to Langshui to attack Jiameng Pass! It's just that now Zhang Ren, Ling Bao, Liu Bi and Deng Xian are not in Chengdu, who should be sent to lead the troops? ”

20,000 men attacked 2,000 men, close to a 10 to 1 force advantage, although the opponent was defending the pass, but it was not difficult to capture it. And more importantly, the defense of the Guanxi Shu side of Jiameng is much worse than the defense of the Hanzhong side!

Jiameng Pass is located in the main road from Hanzhong to Xichuan, and it is also the first barrier of Xichuan facing Hanzhong, plus the hostile relationship between Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang, so the side of Jiameng Pass facing Hanzhong was built extremely tall and strong, the purpose is to resist Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and the wall of Xichuan is just maintained on weekdays, so it is much more difficult to attack Jiameng Pass from Xichuan.

In the eyes of everyone, this is tantamount to a fat gap, in everyone's opinion, 20,000 people attacking 2,000 people, as long as they are not brain-dead, they can be easily taken.

So, as soon as Liu Zhang's voice fell, more than a dozen generals immediately rushed out below to ask for battle, and even a few civil servants were eager to try, hoping to grab this credit.

Liu Zhang looked at the generals in the hall. To be honest, 20,000 horses is not a small number, and Liu Zhang really doesn't feel at ease about handing over these 20,000 horses to them. And in the hall, the ministers also argued about the choice of leading troops.

In the end, the result of everyone's discussion was that Fu Ban and Xiang Cun led the troops to raid Jia Meng Pass!

Fu Ban and Xiang Cun are not very famous among the soldiers in Shuzhong, and their skills are average, but the two have a common characteristic, that is, they are both from great families in Shuzhong.

This time, the two were selected by Liu Zhang, and they somewhat flattered the relationship between the Shuzhong family. At the beginning, Liu Zhang's father, Liu Yan, entered Shu, and once greatly suppressed the Shuzhong family, and even killed Jia Long and Ren Qi, the leaders of the Shu sergeant clan at that time, and at the same time appointed people from outside Sichuan, such as Pang Xi and Xu Jing, who were promoted at that time.

So for a long time, the Shuzhong family has been somewhat suspicious of Liu Zhang. Now that Liu Bei has attacked, Liu Zhang is facing a huge crisis, and at this time Liu Zhang has to show favor to the gate valve of the Shuzhong family in order to get the support of these scholars and resist Liu Bei. It is also because of this that this time, in everyone's opinion, it is the credit of picking up for nothing, and it has fallen into the hands of Fu Ban and Xiang Cun.

……

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and when he set off from Fu Jian and Xiang Cun, Meng Da also got the news, so Meng Da immediately sent someone to Jia Meng Pass to deliver a letter to Huo Jun.

From Jiameng Pass to Chengdu, the nearest route is Liu Bei's attack on Chengdu, starting from Jiameng Pass, passing through Zitong, Baishuiguan, Fucheng, Luocheng, and then passing Jinzhu to Chengdu. And if you go to Langshui, you not only have to spare a big circle, but also go upstream, which is much slower, so when Meng Da's letter arrived at Jiameng Pass, the army of Fu Ban and Xiang Cun was only half gone.

Jia Meng Pass.

After Huo Jun received the news from Meng Da, he immediately requisitioned 3,000 people and began to strengthen the city wall near Xichuan, and at the same time, a large number of rolling wood and stones were moved to the city wall, and the moat was dug a few meters deeper.

Although he only had 2,000 soldiers and horses, and the other party had 20,000 troops, Huo Jun was not afraid at all, but Huo Jun was still prepared for the worst.

"Listen, no matter what happens, you must ensure the safety of your son, if you lose your child, you will immediately break through with your son!" Huo Jun said to several of his henchmen.

At this time, Adou also got the news that Liu Zhang sent people to raid Jiameng Pass through Langshui.
