Ma Chao took out the letter, only to see that there were only two lines of text written on the letter: Today's battle is not General Meng Qi's fault, if my Yizhou troops are handed over to General Meng Qi in the future, the result will be different.

"Shhh...... Liu Feng is so familiar with this battle? Ma Chao never thought that this battle had just ended less than half a day, and Liu Feng already knew the inside story, which shows that every move in Hanzhong was already in the hands of Liu Feng, so that Liu Feng's 200,000 troops could take Hanzhong at any time.

Ma Chao only learned at this time that the reason why Liu Feng did not take action at this time was just to let Zhang Lu and Cao Pi consume each other, if not, I am afraid that the land of Hanzhong has fallen into Liu Feng's hands, thinking of this, Ma Chao couldn't help but start to think, where should he go this time, looking at the land of the Central Plains, except for Liu Feng, it seems that it is not easy to have a place to stay, Ma Chao looked at the military book on the case, but his heart could not be as calm as before for a long time.

In Yangping Pass, at this time there is already an undercurrent surging, but outside Yangping Pass, it is another scene, this day Cao Pi led the army to fight Ma Chao, not only Ma Chao led the army back to Yangping Pass, but also annihilated nearly 10,000 defenders in Hanzhong, knowing that the defenders in Yangping Pass are only 50,000 at most, how can Cao Pi not like it in his heart?

Back in the camp, Cao Pi summoned all the ministers and generals he had brought on this expedition to his commander's tent to discuss what to do next.

"Today's battle seems, that Ma Chao is not as brave and resourceful as rumored, but a reckless man, our two generals are enough to resist it, the rest of the Hanzhong sergeant generals, and there is nothing to be worthy of a fight, therefore, in my opinion, we have wasted a lot of time here, this time it will be Ma Chao defeated, Hanzhong defenders will not dare to go out of the customs to face the battle, if you want to take Hanzhong this time, only a strong attack, then Hanzhong defenders, at a glance are all soldiers of the battle array, want to come under a fierce attack, that Zhang Lu knows that he is invincible, Most of them will abandon the pass and surrender, and at that time, the big thing will come its own. ”

Obviously, Cao Pi was still a little jealous of Ma Chao's bravery before, after all, even his father Cao Cao was once in a very embarrassed position at the hands of Ma Chao, but today's battle swept away Cao Pi's fear of Ma Chao.

Without this layer of jealousy, he no longer wants to cower and delay outside this pass, after all, in front of Cao Cao and Cao Zhi before, Cao Pi has already boasted of Haikou, not only to take this land in Hanzhong, but also to seize Yizhou, if it is delayed again, let Liu Feng gain a foothold in Yizhou, things will definitely not be beautiful.

After Cao Pi said this, his eyes swept to his generals, Cao Zhen saw Cao Pi speak, and hurriedly echoed: "Only 40,000 soldiers, what a way, although this Yangping Pass is steep, but our army has an advantage in numbers, and they are all elite soldiers, under the strong attack, this pass can be broken in two or three days!" ”

Cao Zhen is the first person under Cao Pi's command, no matter when he is Cao Pi's horse, now Cao Pi speaks, and he is very confident, Cao Zhen naturally wants to support it, otherwise Jia Xu, Cao Hong and other old ministers once they say opposition, it will have a great impact on Cao Pi's prestige in the army.

As soon as Cao Zhen's voice fell, Cao Pi looked at Cao Zhen slightly and nodded to him with satisfaction, obviously very satisfied with Cao Zhen's approach.

Sure enough, as soon as Cao Zhen spoke, Jia Xu, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan and others did not raise any more objections, which made Cao Pi very satisfied, but just as he was about to order the attack on Yangping Pass tomorrow, a voice sounded slightly abruptly: "The minister has a word, I don't know if I should say it?" ”

Cao Pi frowned when he heard this, the person who spoke out was Sima Yi who had not offered a plan since he went on this expedition, Sima Yi had always been taciturn since he returned to Cao Pi, only when Cao Pi took the initiative to ask, he would say one or two, this time he made Cao Pi a little confused, but he couldn't ignore it, so he replied: "If Zhong Da has any words, just say it." ”

Sima Yi glanced at the eyes of those who were looking at him in unison, and arched his hand helplessly, and said: "The minister thinks that this Yangping Pass should not be a place for our army to hinder, but I have been outside the gate for a while, but I don't know if Liu Feng has a firm foothold in Yizhou, so he attacked Yangping Pass in such a hurry, once Liu Feng is aware of it and interferes with it, I am afraid that there will be ......extraneous branches."

After Sima Yi's words, everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.

After a long time, Cao Pi coughed lightly, and then said slowly: "That Liu Feng has just taken the half moon of Yizhou, that Yizhou is such a vast land, how can he dare to send troops to Hanzhong, although Zhong Da is thinking about our army in his heart, but this time he is a little worried, it is precisely because Liu Feng has begun to stabilize the foundation in Yizhou, we need to step up to take Hanzhong, only after taking Hanzhong, and then before the army is in Jiameng Pass, can we really see what extent Liu Feng has reached in Yizhou, and then if there is an opportunity, the land of Yizhou, We can also try to do it! Zhong Da just needs to watch it in our army, this time he will definitely fulfill what I promised when I went out on the expedition, so that Zijian has nothing to say! ”

Seeing that Cao Pi had already linked this battle with the struggle between him and Cao Zhi, naturally no one dared to oppose it, and even Sima Yi had to sigh slightly, and then look elsewhere.

In this way, Cao Pi issued a military order, ordered his command of 80,000 troops to prepare siege equipment overnight, tomorrow at noon, they began to storm Yangping Pass, this battle, Cao Pi is already ready to kill and wound some sergeants, in his heart, even if it is a life for a life, can be counted as a great achievement in a few days to capture Yangping Pass, just because Cao Cao commanded a million male divisions, even if it is a loss of tens of thousands, it is still a matter of no pain.

And just when the Cao army was in the camp and took advantage of the night to prepare siege equipment, under the same dark night, Jiameng Pass was also in full swing, Liu Feng and others had already rushed back to Jiameng Pass overnight, Liu Feng ordered Huang Zhong to reorganize the soldiers and horses as soon as he entered the pass, ordered 50,000 troops, and was about to leave the pass overnight and sneak into Hanzhong.

"In this way, my Lieutenant General Jiamengguan only has a few thousand defenders left, what if something happens?" Huang Zhong was obviously quite skeptical of Liu Feng's radical approach, and in doing so, once he failed to take Hanzhong, and was counterattacked by the Hanzhong army, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"If the old general of Hansheng is Zhang Lu or Cao Pi, where should he pay the most attention to at this time?"
