The eighth round: Attack from both sides to seize the white water

Just when Yizhou was arguing endlessly, Baishuiguan ushered in a crisis.

After Zheng Hun arrived in Hanzhong, Di Qing left some of the soldiers to Zheng Hun, and entered the territory of Guanghan County from Yangping Pass and came to the front of Baishui Pass.

The defender of Baishui Pass is Wu Lan, because there has been no action in Hanzhong before, and the defenders of Baishui Pass are only 3,000 people. He didn't expect that Jia Meng in the back was lost, which made him very surprised.

Soon after Liu Yan arrived in Yizhou, he divided Ba County into Padang and Brazil, and Ba County included Hanchang, Yihan, Danqu, Langzhong, Chongguo, Anhan, Dianjiang and other counties, and the seat of governance was in Langzhong. Because from Hanzhong, it was possible to bypass Baishui Pass and attack Brazil County, so there were a lot of soldiers and horses in Brazil County, and Liu Zhang appointed his son and daughter-in-law Pang Xi as the Brazilian Taishou. Pang Xi is a very fierce person, at least in Wu Lan's heart.

So Wu Lan didn't pay too much attention to the direction of Brazil County, but Brazil County had a problem.

Pang Xi also didn't expect that he was completely attacked by someone. When he was in Langzhong, he was suddenly besieged by tens of thousands of people, and before he was ready, he was already attacked at the head of the city.

Zhang Jing and Huo Jun entered the city first, but Pang Xi could not resist, and finally had to abandon the city and retreat to Zitong. As a result, less than a day after walking, he was caught up by Huo Jun and was defeated and captured.

Pang Xi became famous very early, and he had already served as a councillor during the period of Emperor Ling. In the first year of Xingping (194), Liu Yan and Ma Teng planned a surprise attack on Chang'an, and after the matter was leaked, several of Liu Yan's sons were killed. Pang Xi rescued Liu Yan's grandchildren and sent them to Yizhou. Therefore, Pang Xi was named a guest of honor, Liu Yan died in the winter of that year, Pang Xi continued to be courteous to Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang let his son marry Pang Xi's daughter, and the two became sons and daughters.

After Jia Meng was captured by Zhang Jing, Wu Lan also discovered this incident and immediately began to take precautions. However, to the north of Baishui Pass, Di Qing's army had also appeared. This time, Di Qing didn't have only 10,000 people, he only brought 5,000 elite soldiers, and the remaining 5,000 elite soldiers were left to Zheng Hun to guard Yangping Pass and the four plank roads. Zhang Lu's more than 20,000 troops, Di Qing also brought 20,000, that is to say, he brought 25,000 troops.

The 25,000-strong army reached the north of Baishui Pass, and another 5,000 or 6,000 people came to the south of Baishui Pass.

There is a lot of grain and grass in Baishui Pass, but there are too few soldiers and horses. After the first day of attack, Wu Lan began to worry. On the first day, more than 300 people were killed and wounded, and according to this kind of dispatch, he could not support it for even half a month.

In the north, Di Qing's attack was very fierce, Di Qing was well supplied, and the arrows were shot towards the gate without being fatal. Although the well fence is a little low on the wall, the strong crossbow they brought completely made up for this height difference and suppressed the gate.

Di Qing got the food in Hanzhong, and there was no shortage of food at all. Zhang Jing got the grain in Langzhong, and he was also very rich for the time being. The two can completely besiege without attacking, and there is basically no problem in holding out for two or three months.

However, the two of them were not sure how much food there was in Baishui Pass, so they could only decide to fight quickly. Zhang Yijun left to win quickly, which is quite a bit of the world's martial arts only fast and unbreakable.

After ten days of attacking in a row, there were less than a thousand troops available on the White Water Pass. The soldiers in the city really didn't want to fight, the casualties were too great. But the north and south sides were surrounded, and they formed a dead land, and they had to fight to the death.

Of course, Di Qing also knew why he was fighting to the death in the city, and he had already sent someone to contact Zhang Jing and ask him to retreat ten miles, creating an opportunity for Sergeant Guan to escape.

As a result, the morale of Baishui Pass dropped greatly, and when Di Qing attacked here, he quickly collapsed. Wu Lan killed a few deserters, but he still did not stop the escape of the soldiers, and he could only follow and escape.

Di Qing successfully captured Baishui Pass, counted the prisoners, and checked the baggage. In the attack on Baishui Pass, Di Qing's department also suffered a lot of damage, and nearly a thousand people died, most of them were Hanzhong soldiers, and the elite under him did not have many casualties.

After Wu Lan escaped from Baishui Pass, she ran out of ten miles and was blocked by Zhang Jing. The deserters had lost their spirit, Zhang Jing asked people to shout, and the soldiers surrendered, and they also arrested Wu Lan and gave it to Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing came to Wu Lan's side, Wu Lan was silent, and Zhang Jing didn't care, and took him back to Baishui Pass directly.

After arriving at Baishui Pass, Zhang Jing met Di Qing in person. Di Qing looked at the map of Guanghan County and Guanghan vassal states, looked at it, and said to Zhang Jing: "We need to divide our troops at Baishui Pass, one to the south and the other to the west. ”

Zhang Jing said: "The matter of Yizhou, Chengdu is the key, so that the king will go south, and I will go west." However, when I went west to the subject country of Guanghan to deal with Qianghu, I thought that I was brave and brave, and my wisdom was insufficient, so I asked the envoy to send someone to help. ”

Di Qing nodded, "I will let Lu Boyan be a staff officer, and then divide your 10,000 Han soldiers, you can block Qianghu in the Guanghan vassal country, and don't let them invade Yizhou." ”

Zhang Jing heard about Lu Xun, and immediately said happily: "With Lu Boyan's help, you will definitely be able to settle Qianghu." ”

Since Lu Xun was brought to Shouchun by Zhang Yi, he has been focused on training, first sent by Zhang Yi to build roads, and later participated in military affairs, and then led troops in Jingzhou and attacked Hanzhong to carry out actual combat, and cultivated talents step by step.

Lu Xun was sent to Zhang Jing's subordinates, and he had no other ideas at all. Zhang Jing was already a veteran-level general, and when Zhang Yi eliminated Sun Quan, Zhang Jing had already worked for Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi's subordinates are basically divided into several levels, and the most senior ones are these people who followed Zhang Yi to Shouchun, Shi Qian, Li Shangyin, Di Qing, Shang Shifu and others are all in this rank.

followed by the group that attacked Sun Quan, Fu Youde, Li Jing, Li Bao and others, and Zhang Jing was also among them.

Again, these people recruited by Zhang Yi in Yangzhou, Zhu Zhi, Lu Meng, Jiang Qin and others, Lu Xun is the end of this batch.

Here is Jingzhou Group, Wei Rui, Wei Yan, Huo Jun and others are all in this batch.

After Zhang Jing got Lu Xun and 10,000 Hanzhong soldiers, he replenished a little supply at Baishui Pass, and then went west to attack Baishui County. Baishui County is in the west of Baishui Pass, and then to the west to attack the Yinping Road of the Guanghan vassal state, and then the Yinping Road to the west is the Dianshi Road, which is the first line of resistance to Qianghu.

Di Qing took Wei Yan and led 15,000 people to the south to Jiameng and Zitong, and joined Huo Jun. Jiameng Pass and Sword Pavilion have been taken, and the next step is to attack Fuxian, but there is still a pass in Fuxian, called Jiangyoushu, which is later Jiangyouguan and Fushuiguan. Only after taking Jiangyoushu can we take Fuxian and march into Mianzhu.
