Chapter 55: Huang Zhong who closed the net.

Zhuge Song thought that these soldiers were all doing well in their own stations, and it was really unbearable for them to fall into this fate because of themselves, but the war is like this. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info think that when Liu Bei's soldiers were killed by Cao Cao's army and cried wolf, and even Liu Bei's son was almost not saved, didn't he also believe in tears on the slope of Changsaka?

Zhuge Song thinks that all he can do is to help Liu Bei catch Liu Zhang as soon as possible, so that he may be able to pacify Yizhou with a lot less swords, and many people will be able to suffer less and not lose their lives.

Just when Liu Beijun followed Liu Zhangjun for a few days, and the number of surrendered troops he received along the way had even reached seven or eight thousand, even Zhuge Song, who had always been cautious, was infected by Pang Tong's increasingly explosive optimism.

Indeed, now even if Liu Bei doesn't have to surrender his troops, plus the five thousand Zhang Lu troops who are following behind, there are more than 10,000 people, and Liu Zhang's army can command about 3,000 troops at most after leaving these seven or eight thousand people, and they must be tired and hungry. If he fights with Liu Bei, who is well-fed and morale-boosting all day long, Zhuge Song is estimated to not be a matter of collapse at the touch of a button, and it is likely that they don't even have the strength to collapse now, so they can only collapse in place and let Liu Bei deal with it.

However, when Zhuge Song looked at the steep scenery of the mountains on both sides of the road leisurely on the horse, he suddenly remembered something.

He remembered that in the book, when Liu Zhang sent people to Hanzhong to find Zhang Lu for reinforcements, and promised to use the land of Twenty Prefectures as revenge for him to send troops to attack Jiameng Pass from behind Liu Bei, Jiameng Pass was also under Liu Bei's control. What's more, Ma Chao has already been blocked, and Liu Bei can still send someone to Hanzhong to bribe Yang Song to recall Ma Chao!

What does this mean? Thinking of this, Zhuge Song's whole body is excited! This means that even if Huang Zhong guards Jiameng Pass, Liu Zhang's brigade can't go back, but Liu Zhang's army is full of locals, and Liu Zhang can take some generals to leave the troops, directly bypass Jiameng Pass from the path, and desperately rush back to Chengdu!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Song hurriedly went to Liu Bei and told Liu Bei that Liu Zhang was likely to abandon the army and take the path, Liu Bei also had a sad look on his face when he heard it, but he still said: "Liu Zhang is also the commander of the first army, he shouldn't abandon his subordinates!" However, Liu Bei said that it could be seen from his actions of looking at Pang Tong as he spoke, that Liu Bei already believed in this.

Pang Tong was not too anxious, but he said to Liu Bei: "Lord, I expect that Huang Hansheng must have been prepared, and if he catches Liu Zhang's great work first, the old general will definitely not let him easily." But just in case, please take General Zhuge with the army behind, and take Wei Yan's selected five hundred horsemen to chase forward immediately! Be sure to catch up with Liu Zhang before he abandons the army! After speaking, he didn't wait for Liu Bei to agree, so he took care of himself and drove his horse to chase Wei Yan of the front army, and immediately acted.

Pang Tong's rash action made Zhuge Song can't help but think of Luofengpo. However, although there is Zhang Ren in Liu Zhang's army now, at this time and then, Zhuge Song also feels that even if Zhang Ren wants to set up an ambush now, it is estimated that Liu Zhangjun's current situation is impossible, so he didn't care too much.

In this way, Pang Tong and Wei Yan hurriedly led people to chase after them. Zhuge Song followed Liu Bei and continued to escort the brigade behind at the original speed, continuing to march towards Jiameng Pass. When the army drove to the Jiameng Pass, I saw Liu Zhangjun, who was already extremely embarrassed and sat on the ground.

These Liu Zhangjun, who looked like Huazi, had already knelt on the ground when they saw Wei Yan, claiming that they had surrendered to the defenders of Jiameng Pass. sent people to inquire carefully and learned that although they had surrendered, there were more than 3,000 people after all, Huang Zhong was afraid of letting them in and causing changes, so he ordered them to stay where they were and wait for Liu Bei's army to arrive and be received again. So Liu Bei's brigade began to contain these remnants and put them into the original prisoner of war camp, and the army marched into Jiameng Pass one after another.

However, Zhuge Song didn't see Liu Zhang in these prisoner of war camps, not even a person who looked like a general. The people below inquired and reported that Liu Zhang had already taken a dozen generals and dozens of personal soldiers to find the path back to Chengdu before he arrived at Jiameng. Pang Tong and Wei Yan, who had pursued them before, also left someone to inform Liu Bei and Zhuge Song that they had continued to lead people to chase down the path, so that the army could enter the pass as soon as possible and repel Liu Zhang's troops who were attacking Jiameng Pass in the south.

After Liu Bei and Liu Zhang completely turned their faces, the remaining generals in Chengdu would gather the remaining troops in Shu to attack Jiameng Pass, which everyone, including Zhuge Song, could think of. However, Jiameng Pass is garrisoned by Huang Zhong, and the pass is steep, and the main force of Liu Zhang's army has followed Liu Zhang's personal expedition, and there are many people who receive the news, even if they know that it is difficult to gather heavy troops in a hurry, so Zhuge Song has not been worried about this.

But when he arrived at Jia Mengguan, Zhuge Song didn't see Huang Zhong, which made Zhuge Song a little surprised. Huo Jun, the chief general of Guanshang at this time, came to see Liu Bei and Zhuge Song, and informed Huang Zhong that these days, while commanding the soldiers in Guanzhong to defend against Liu Xun's attack in Guannan, he was also sending scouts to investigate the movements of Liu Zhang's army. During the period of waiting for Liu Zhang, General Huang also sent people to find out the remote road that could bypass the pass and lead to Chengdu from the north of Jiameng Pass. When Tanma reported that Liu Zhangjun was less than 100 miles away from the pass, he left Huo Jun here to guard the pass, and personally took 500 people to an ambush on a mountain road that he thought was the best and easiest to go back to Chengdu, and I don't know if it has become a great achievement now!

When Liu Bei heard this, he wanted to send someone to answer it, but at this time, Liu Xun led people to storm Jia Meng Pass, and Huo Jun also had confidence because the army entered the pass, so he asked Liu Bei to send troops to repel Liu Xun and relieve the siege under the pass.

Because the previous intelligence said that Liu Zhang's soldiers are now less than a hundred, and Liu Bei's side is not only Huang Zhong who is ambushed on the mountain road, but also Wei Yan and Pang Tong are chasing behind, there should be no problem. Therefore, Liu Bei pressed the idea of answering, rested for a while, and led the troops out of the pass after Liu Xun's attack failed to succeed and the soldiers were tired and retreated.

Although Zhuge Song did not follow in this battle, he made an exception and asked Zheng Liang to take people to protect Liu Bei. Zhuge Song clearly saw that Liu Xun's face changed as soon as he saw Liu Bei, and before the two armies could fight, he immediately led the army to retreat.

Soon the front army returned, Liu Xun led the troops to retreat to Fucheng without a trace, and Liu Bei was still leading the front army to pursue. It's just that Pang Tong's side has not moved so far, which makes Zhuge Song deeply worried about it. Fortunately, after waiting for another two hours, after Liu Bei also collected his troops and returned to the customs, Huang Zhong and Wei Yancai came back with their soldiers beamingly.

Zhuge Song saw that this was done, and soon saw Liu Zhang, who was depressed, and Zhang Ren, who was tied up and still gritting his teeth, as well as Wu Lan, Wu Yi, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, who was put back by Zhuge Song before, and Zhang Song, who had been working undercover by Liu Zhang's side. For such a "loyal minister", Liu Bei naturally thanked and comforted him, but for Liu Zhang, his face was a little unnatural and difficult to face, and he waved his hand to let Liu Zhang go down to take care of him first, and prepare to deal with the captured generals under Liu Zhang first.

Very unexpectedly, Pang Tong did not appear, and Liu Bei was told that Pang Tong was injured by Zhang Ren's ambush with an arrow! Zhuge Song's heart chuckled, but fortunately, after hurriedly going to visit Liu Bei, he found that Pang Tong was only shot in the right arm, the arrow was not poisonous, and there was no major problem after taking the arrow and bandaging it.

It turned out that when Liu Zhang was fleeing along the mountain road to Chengdu, Zhang Ren took the initiative to lead people to break the rear behind. However, with Liu Zhang's ability at that time, he could only leave him twenty soldiers. Zhang Ren chose a more dangerous place to wait for Liu Bei's possible pursuit, Pang Tong and Wei Yan chased after it for a long time to see that it was okay, so they walked more and more ahead, and Zhang Ren seized the opportunity and ordered his subordinates to shoot only at Wei Yan and Pang Tong.

Fortunately, although these twenty soldiers were all selected by Liu Zhang when he left the army, because he was hungry for days, the range and accuracy of archery naturally decreased, and he didn't bring out poison in a hurry that night's escape, let alone carefully smeared on the arrows. Wei Yan, who was superb in martial arts, retreated in embarrassment when he suddenly shot indiscriminately, but he was finally not injured. But Pang Tong was not so lucky, and subconsciously used his right arm to block under the random arrow, but he was still shot fiercely.

After shooting the cold arrow, Zhang Ren didn't even think about it, and immediately led people to withdraw, thinking about finding another steep place and repeating the old trick. What he didn't expect was that Liu Zhang, who was in front of him, had already been waited for by Huang Zhong, who had been ambushed in advance, and he was not polite after learning that there were still people who broke off, so he directly gave Zhang Ren another set, tied up these twenty-one people, and escorted them back to Jia Meng.
