Summary of the previous chapter: Lu first wrote a letter to Zhang Lu, the purpose of which was to destroy history; Ma Xiaoquan also noticed that he had also written a letter to Cao Cao long before Zhang Lu received Lu Xian's letter, and after Cao Cao received the letter, he immediately changed his marching deployment

In July of the twentieth year of Emperor Jian'an of the ++++++++++++++++++++++ Han Dynasty, Cao Cao's main force came to Yangping Pass.

Since Cao Cao had ordered only a feint attack and no forcible attack, Xu Huang, the commander at the time, was stationed 20 miles outside Yangping Pass in strict accordance with the will of the lord, forming a confrontation with the Han Chinese army in Guannei.

Seeing that Cao Jun was not attacking, Zhang Wei, the guard general of the Guannei, sent a letter to his brother Zhang Lu quite proudly, but there was no substantive content in the letter, all of which were words of invitation.

After reading his brother's letter, Zhang Lu sighed helplessly, and then took out the letter Lu Xian wrote to him, unfolded it and read it, shook his head and said, "It seems that I can't hold it in Hanzhong." ”

On the side, the strategist Yan Pu said: "Why did the lord say such a depressing thing? Yangping Pass is the world's most dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, just scout came to the battle report, that Cao Cao did not attack Yangping Pass, but stationed the lord in the twenty miles outside the pass, Cao Cao 100,000 troops, the consumption of grain and grass is naturally fast, we just need to hold the pass, after a long time, Cao Cao will naturally withdraw the army"

Zhang Lu shook his head: "That's not the truth, my younger brother is anxious, and Lu Xian's letter to me has already written what will happen next, this"

"Lord~" Yan Pu interrupted Zhang Lu's words and said disdainfully, "Then Lu Xian is just a mountain village man, and you are different, although the lord has a close relationship with Lu Xian, but he will not obey Lu Xian's words everywhere, besides, your lord, you are the Taishou of Hanzhong, and then Lu Xian is just a flat-headed commoner, your perspective is completely different."

Zhang Lu snorted and nodded: "What you said makes sense, um~~ I was almost swayed by Lu Xian's opinion, then I'll wait for the good news, I hope Zhang Wei can hold on for a while." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Lu put the letter Lu Xian wrote to him on the candle flame and burned it with a small fire

Under Yangping Pass, the general Xu Huang received a letter from the lord, and Cao Cao ordered him to advance another 10 miles.

Xu Huang immediately executed and ordered the whole army to press forward 10 miles.

Cao Jun's move made the Hanzhong army in Yangping Pass immediately nervous.

Standing on a high place and looking at it from a distance, the black pressure could not be seen at a glance, Zhang Wei swallowed his saliva fiercely, and said: "There are so many people, is Cao ** crazy?" ”

Beside Zhang Wei, Yang Ang said: "General, I think Cao Cao is also crazy." But as long as we hold the pass! ”

Zhang Wei said: "Then what if Cao Cao takes a detour?" ”

Yang Ang laughed and said: "How is it possible, general, don't worry, if Cao Cao really bypasses, we can't beat and run?" ”

Zhang Wei nodded in agreement: "Well, it makes sense!" ”

The two second-class goods whispered for a while, and after giving a few orders, they happily went into the house to drink

Xu Huang just pressed forward for 10 miles, and after reaching the intended target, he stopped neatly.

In fact, Xu Huang was also very puzzled, the lord who had said that he was going to lead the main force, how could a letter from the immortal lord Ma Xiaoquan make the lord change his original intention so without hesitation? Can't figure it out, can't figure it out? What do you mean, my lord?

Xu Huang's incessant chatter soon took effect.

In fact, the distance between him and Cao Cao is not too far, but the vanguard army led by Cao Cao is not to fight the vanguard, but to find the deer.

"Ah sneeze~~" Cao Cao rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "Someone is talking about me, hum yes, have the deer found it?" ”

A partial general replied, "Lord Qiqi, I have found it." ”

Cao Cao laughed: "Okay, Lord Shangxian is really clever, come here, circle those deer for me." ”

"Yes!"

Cao Cao smiled and took out the letter that Ma Xiaoquan wrote to him from his arms, and shook the letter in his hand triumphantly: "Lord Shangxian wrote this letter to me in a timely manner, I think, Zhang Lu must not have thought that I would do this, haha" Saying, Cao Cao carefully read Ma Xiaoquan's letter again, and ordered, "After the deer herd is encircled, Chaoyang will be released." ”

Five thousand centaurs against a herd of deer, of course, the deer is no match for it.

It took less than a stick of incense for the Cao Army Vanguard Department to encircle this group of deer.

Drove the deer 10 miles from Yangping Pass, and Cao Cao and Xu Huang converged.

Xu Huang saw that the lord came back with a large group of deer, and asked puzzledly: "Lord, what are you?"

Cao Cao smiled: "This is all thanks to the reminder of the immortal lord, well, Gongming (Xu Huang's word), tell me to go down and open the queue, I want to put the deer over, well, by the way, I will send a small team to explore the way and work carefully, and mix the deer herd"

Xu Huang sighed and asked, "Lord, have you borrowed from the Fire Bull Formation?" ”

Cao Cao smiled, nodded and said: "No, the fire bull formation is a rushing array, and my wild deer formation is a hidden pathfinder array, there is an essential difference between the two, hehe Gongming, you just wait to see a good show." ”

Xu Huang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly went down to carry out Cao Cao's order.

Since telescopes and other telescope equipment did not appear in the late Han Dynasty, the distance of 10 miles was enough to do a lot of preparatory work without being discovered.

After Qi Qi was ready, Xu Huang gave an order, and a group of deer rushed out from the center of Cao's army and went straight to Yangping Pass.

At this time, Zhang Wei and Yang Ang were drinking and drinking, and suddenly heard a report from the scout, saying that they saw a group of extremely fast things rushing towards Yangpingguan from a distance.

Zhang Wei and Yang Ang glanced at each other, and then laughed.

"Amazingly fast? What can I do if I am so fast, pass the order and guard it for me! ”

After the two finished talking, they continued to drink one cup of you and one of me.

If Yangping Pass is replaced by an ordinary pass, Zhang Wei and Yang Ang may not have such strong self-confidence, although the intelligence of these two is less than 60, but their empirical judgment is extremely accurate.

After this group of deer driven by Cao Jun ran to the bottom of Yangping Pass, they saw that they couldn't get through, so they immediately turned around and ran to the mountains on both sides.

The defenders at the pass saw that it was a herd of deer, and immediately relaxed their vigilance after a false alarm.

But what they didn't expect was that in this group of deer, there was a small group of short Cao soldiers, this group of Cao soldiers was Cao Cao's training specially used to explore the way, and at this moment they were already mixed in the deer herd and submerged in the mountains and forests on both sides of the pass.

That night, several Cao soldiers returned to the camp to report to Cao Cao about the situation of the road exploration, Cao Cao heard it and smiled bitterly: "I sent out twelve, only four came back, this Yangping Pass is really steep, but it's okay, in terms of route, it's really hard for these pathfinders."

Cao Cao said, took out the letter written by Ma Xiaoquan to him from his arms and read it again, and said: "Pass my order, let Xiahou and Xu Chu each lead a thousand elite soldiers, and secretly go around from the side of the pass." ”

Xu Chu grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and his body is strong, so Xu Chu is very good at climbing, but Xiahoudun is not good.

At the beginning, the two teams walked together, and gradually widened the distance, and after a stick of incense, by the time Xiahoudun reacted, he had lost contact with Xu Chujun.

It was pitch black in the mountains and forests, and the torches did not dare to be lit, so Xiahoudun had no choice but to climb the mountain by touching the black leader.

Due to the smear of climbing the mountain, there will always be tragic incidents of soldiers stumbling, which makes Xiahoudun feel angry and very aggrieved.

And at this moment, Xiahoudun suddenly saw a shallow light not far away.

"What's that?" Xiahoudun asked vigilantly.

Xin Bi and Liu Ye, who were climbing the mountain with Xiahoudun, were overjoyed and said, "General, I'm afraid it's General Xu Chu." ”

"Nonsense!" Xiahoudun was a little annoyed, "The lord has already given an order not to let the fire be ignited, why is this guy Xu Chu still igniting the fire?" What nonsense. ”

Xin Bi thought for a moment and said, "General, maybe it's Zhang Lu's army."

"How is that possible? We don't even know where we are now? How could you be so lucky to meet the defenders? ”

Liu Ye said: "General, why don't you wait here for a while, Xin Bi and I will lead a team of people to investigate." ”

Xiahoudun hesitated: "If there is anything wrong with the two of you, how can I substitute for the main bus?" ”

Xin Bi and Liu Ye shook their heads and said, "General, the lord sent me and the two of us to fight with you, and also ordered us to do other things, so you don't have to worry." ”

At this point, Xiahoudun couldn't say anything more, so he could only let the two go.

Xin Bi and Liu Ye touched the glimmer of light, and when they got closer, it turned out to be Zhang Lujun's camp, and without saying a word, they immediately shouted and bluffed.

At this time, the defenders were asleep, and they were shouted like this, thinking that Cao Cao was coming to sneak attack, so how dare they fight? Barely resisted, just smeared the soles of his feet with oil.

Xiahoudun, who was not far away, heard the shouting and killing, and was startled, thinking that Xin Bi Liu Ye was in danger, so he hurriedly followed as if he was dying, and when he looked closer, the two of them were looking at him with a smile.

Seeing that the two of them were fine, Xiahoudun asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xin Bi said: "General, the two of us have already finished the camp of the defenders, hehe"

"What? How can it be? Xiahoudun didn't believe it, but he couldn't help but walk around.

After some inspection, Xiahoudun was ecstatic and excited.

Liu Ye took out the horn that had been prepared long ago and blew the horn into the sky.

The sound of the horn spread far and wide.

Cao Cao in front of the pass heard the sound of the horn and laughed: "It's okay, all the sons, follow me to attack Yangping Pass!" ”

"Hooha"

Cao Cao stood in front of the people with high spirits, his heart was surging, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Lord Shangxian, it's really a clever calculation~"
