The flames of this sky, until it was getting late, gradually dissipated in the sound of Cao Pi's retreat, such a tragic offensive and defensive battle, in the Central Plains is rare, just because of such a strong attack, in fact, it is to use human lives to consume the defenders' materials and strength.

If it weren't for Cao Pi's eagerness to make such a feat, he could have surrounded Yangping Pass and was not in a hurry to attack, Zhang Lu's psychology would eventually collapse one day, but that day might be ten days later, maybe a month later, or a few months later, which Cao Pi couldn't bear.

The half-day siege caused Cao Pi's 80,000 troops to lose nearly 10,000 people, including four or five thousand dead, and those who lost their combat strength were also around five thousand, but Cao Pi, who returned to the camp, did not have an eagerness, just because he already knew in his heart that if he continued to attack according to this momentum, he would definitely be able to break the Yangping Pass before dark tomorrow.

Today's strong attack, in the later stage, the arrows and rolling stones and other objects in the defender city are already stretched, and some brave Cao troops have also killed the towering city head of Yangping Pass, but they have been surrounded and killed by the defenders who have been arranged on the city wall and waiting for this moment, but these are no longer important, but where the offensive and defensive battles are attacked by the other party, it is naturally not far from breaking the city.

It's not that Cao Pi doesn't want to take Yangping Pass in one go, but once he breaks the city in the night, Zhang Lu, Ma Chao and others will most likely run away, even if Yangping Pass is not perfect.

What Cao Pi wants is to capture Zhang Lu and Ma Chao, Zhang Lu is the lord of Hanzhong, and if he captures him, he can be regarded as having Hanzhong, and Ma Chao, Cao Pi knows that Cao Cao hates him to the bone, and he can't hate it, so if he captures Ma Chao alive and dedicates it to Cao Cao, this great achievement will naturally not be able to run, at this time in Cao Pi's heart, Zhang Lu and Ma Chao are like livestock kept in captivity in Yangping Pass, just waiting for tomorrow.

Cao Pi thought so in his heart, Zhang Lu and Ma Chao naturally knew the situation at this time, although Cao Pi lost about 10,000 people in this battle, and the defenders in the pass were only killed by the Cao army who killed the head of the city, but the weight of the equipment to defend the city has been consumed as much as half, if Cao Pi comes to attack like today, it will only take two hours, and these remaining city defense equipment and arrows and other objects will be used up, at that time, the defenders can only watch Cao Jun climb up to the city one by one, and then fall into a bloody battle with it, Under such circumstances, Cao Pi's 60,000 or 70,000 elite soldiers and Zhang Luguan's less than 40,000 soldiers were immediately superior.

"Now that the matter has come to this, I don't know what you think about whether we will fight or surrender?" Finally, when Zhang Lu had to face it, Yangping Pass would be unable to hold it.

But to Zhang Lu's surprise, under his question, except for Ma Chao, who did not make a sound, Yan Pu and Zhang Wei both did not want to surrender Cao Cao, but wanted to fight with Cao Pi to the point of a soldier.

Just when a sense of pride gradually rose in the hearts of these people, suddenly a person outside the door hurriedly came to report something, interrupting the secret meeting of Zhang Lu and others.

"Why are you so alarmed? Isn't it that Cao Pi came to attack the city at night? ”

Zhang Lu was already fearless in his heart at this time, but Cao Pi wanted to take advantage of his relaxation to come and attack again, and just wanted to get up, but he heard the guard answer eagerly: "It's not that Cao Pi came, but just got a report, last night I found out the whereabouts of the Yizhou sergeant outside Jiameng Pass, and it is very likely that he has come from the mountains to the place where we are, I don't know how to deal with it?" ”

"This ......" As soon as Zhang Lu heard the name of Yizhou, he remembered that Liu Feng, who had arrested Zhang Wei and did not play with himself in applause, and was well-informed and informed, did not know what to say for a while, and stood on the spot.

Zhang Wei and Yan Pu, after hearing about the soldiers of Yizhou, they were all dignified, in the face of Cao Pi, they still had the heart to fight with one of them, but thinking of Liu Feng, their hearts were born a sense of powerlessness, last night Liu Feng soldiers out of Jiameng Pass, and Hanzhong is not vast, this night plus a day, if Liu Feng acted quickly, I think it was already taking advantage of Zhang Lu and others to pay all their attention to Cao Pi when they arrived at Yangping Pass!

Just when Zhang Lu didn't know what to do in his heart for a while, he only heard the sound of people and horses outside the door, and it was very chaotic for a while, Zhang Ludeng's face was straight, and he was about to go out, but he saw the door slowly open, and a heroic man wearing bronze armor, holding a green sword, strode into the house, it was Liu Feng.

"You...... How can you ......" How did this trick change, Zhang Lu was completely confused for a while, and only left surprise.

"General Gongqi, don't come unharmed, I want to thank you for the person who reported the news, otherwise even if I only lead five hundred personal soldiers, I will not be able to touch here to meet the general within a few hours."

"Liu Feng, how dare you show off your might here with only five hundred personal soldiers?" When Zhang Lu heard this, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and Liu Feng said this, completely ignoring it.

"There are indeed only five hundred in the pass, in order to be able to come here quietly, but there are 50,000 outside the pass, the Hanzhong defenders are all in the city to resist the Cao army at this time, so the rear garrison is really lax, if the seal is an order at this time, not a stick of incense, our army can enter the pass, and General Gongqi will join forces to resist the Cao army."

Liu Feng just smiled slightly and said to Zhang Luyan. Obviously, this Hanzhong has long been regarded by Liu Feng as a bag.

"General Ziwei is here, what does it mean, the matter has come to this point, I think the general already knows everything about the battle situation in Yangpingguan, what do you have to say, but it doesn't matter!" Zhang Lu was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said slowly to Liu Feng, as soon as he said this, it was equivalent to handing over Hanzhong to Liu Feng.

"Feng Ben didn't want to come here so early, even if you have someone under your command to find out about our dispatch of troops to Jia Mengguan, you still have no time to take care of him, I could have waited for you and Cao Pi to fight inseparable, when countless casualties came to lead the troops, both of you were defeated, and calmly took Hanzhong into your pocket, but just because this battle is the life of tens of thousands of soldiers, Feng can save it, and there is no reason to watch, so this time to General Gongqi two ways, one of them, is still as today's fighting, Feng only watched from the sidelines, General Gongqi lived and died, It has nothing to do with the seal, and then come to take the pass after the score is scored, second, General Gongqi ceded Hanzhong to me, and gave the general to find a county to live, as for Cao Pi, Feng will make it retreat, how to choose, it all depends on General Gongqi. ”
