Chapter 237: Marching into Hanzhong

A peach blossom fell on Lu Bu's face, Lu Bu looked at it randomly, and Huang Shigong laughed and said, "Want to stare at me?" How, convinced or not? ”

……

Speaking of Cao Cao, after consolidating the defense, he thought about expanding his territory, this time Cao Cao's target is Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, Cao Cao's reason for choosing it is very simple, the first reason is that Zhang Lu did not come this time, Cao Cao wants to kill chickens and respect monkeys, and the second reason is that Zhang Lubing is a major general.

Tomatoes always have to pick soft pinch, who do you hit if you don't hit? So Cao Cao's soldiers were divided into three teams to march westward.

The vanguard troops were Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He, Cao Cao led the generals in the play, and Cao Ren Xiahou Dun escorted grain and grass.

Cao Cao was so excited, of course, there was no need to hide it from Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot at this moment, and hurriedly called his brother Zhang Wei to discuss how to deal with Cao Cao's revenge.

"Big brother, don't worry, don't we have Pingyang Pass in Hanzhong? Pingyang Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as we hold Pingyang Pass, we will not be afraid of Cao Cao's army"

Zhang Lu was very happy to hear that his brother had such confidence, so he handed over the task of welcoming Cao Cao to Zhang Wei, and sent his generals Yang Yi and Yang Ren to go together, and promised that the grain and grass would be enough.

Zhang Wei can also be regarded as a character, in Pingyang Pass, near the mountains and Linzhi, doing fortifications, facing Cao Cao head-on.

Within two days, the vanguard troops of Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He had already arrived, and when they saw that Pingyang Pass had already been prepared, they did not dare to attack rashly, so they set up camp and rested fifteen miles from Pingyang Pass.

Due to the hurry of Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Helai, it was already evening just after setting up camp, and the soldiers were already tired after marching all the way, and the same was true for Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He, who had just finished camping and rested by themselves, and the soldiers rested without seeing the officials, what were they still doing? So he also went to sleep, and he didn't even send out the guards.

At night, when Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He were sleeping soundly, Yang Yi and Yang Ren divided into two ways and burned Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He's camp to the ground.

Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He thought they had been ambushed, got on their horses and retreated, but fortunately, Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He ran fast, after the two of them left, Zhang Lu's soldiers were everywhere, and they were killed, and Cao's army was defeated.

Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He came to him and told him what had happened, and Cao Cao looked like he hated iron but not steel:

"I said can you use your brains, after so many years of accounting, I don't know, can others sneak attack? You two! This is going to hurt me, and someone will cut them both down."

Cao Cao is really hot, are these two idiots completely? Didn't you know that you were walking so fast? Ran over and set up camp under the noses of others, you said that you set up camp and set up camp, so you can also shoot a few people standing guard, or put a few secret sentry, you two can be good, just set up camp and fell asleep, I don't cut who you cut?

Hearing that Cao Cao was going to kill Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He, Cao Cao's subordinates quit and persuaded Cao Cao one after another. What is not meritorious and hard work, what is giving them a chance to make meritorious contributions, anyway, they are all speaking for Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He.

In fact, Cao Cao was also angry, and after calming down, he also felt that there was no need to call this energy, so he pardoned Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He.

The first defeat, the next day Cao Cao personally led people to Pingyang Pass, Cao Cao saw that the terrain was dangerous and dense jungle, the most important thing is that it was full of sheep intestine paths, and I didn't know where to go, Cao Cao was cautious, and this place was definitely a good place for ambushes, so he retreated.

After going back, Xu Chu and Xu Huang were a little unhappy:

"Prime Minister Cao, the two of us, are willing to be pioneers and open the way in front, aren't they just a few places with dangerous terrain? It's enough for the two of us, and we can get it directly with ambushes."

When the two heard it, they were talking big words, but Cao Cao surprisingly believed it, so the next day Cao Cao followed Xu Chu and Xu Huang, crossed the hillside through the woods, and came to a high ground.

"Prime Minister, look"

Xu Chu saw that there were many barracks under the high ground and pointed them to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao glanced at it, and immediately frowned, camping in this place is indeed a good place, easy to defend and difficult to attack, not easy to start.

Cao Tao asked Xu Chu and Xu Huang, do you two have a good way? The two of them are just fierce generals in the war, and the things that use their brains are really not good, so they can only shake their heads and say:

"So strong that it's hard to take"

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they heard a shout behind them.

"Kill ......"

"Ambush?" This was Cao Cao's first reaction, and after seeing the person coming, after confirming that it was Zhang Wei's two generals, Cao Tao was taken aback, and at this moment Xu Chu stood up.

"I'll stop them, Gongming, you escort the prime minister to go first, and I'll arrive later"

Xu Chu didn't wait for Cao Cao to reply after speaking, he rode a horse and carried a knife to stand two people, Xu Chu is a well-known fierce general, how could Zhang Lu's two generals be his opponents? If it weren't for the quick retreat of the two, Xu Chu would have been able to solve them alone, Xu Chu's inappropriate courage frightened the two, no one dared to move forward, the generals were so scared, let alone the soldiers, and the soldiers also retreated with the second colonel.

Xu Huang protected Cao Cao's correspondence when he came to the hillside, but found that there was still a team of people coming in a hurry, which startled Cao Cao and Xu Huang.

"Still not letting people live?"

But when Cao Cao saw the people coming, he smiled, these people were none other than Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He, who hurried after hearing the shouts, the purpose was to protect Cao Cao and atone for his crimes.

Cao Cao is also a person with clear rewards and punishments, and he is also a person who cares about his own life, after seeing Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He, he immediately ordered the two to meet Xu Chu, after all, Xu Chu left the enemy of Dokdo for himself.

Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He received the order and led people to Xu Chu, Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He, who originally wanted to kill, saw Xu Chu, but were shocked to find that Xu Chu was teaching thousands of people on the other side alone.

"Brother, do you see that? Why is this guy so fierce? It's open, right? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful to let him hear? He is now a celebrity next to the prime minister, if he hears that he will put on a little shoe for you, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around. ”

Zhang He shrank his neck when he heard this, and glanced at Xu Chu resignedly, "Why is this person's life so good?" Can you actually be a celebrity around you? I don't know when I'll get into this position."

Zhang Hezai sighed, and actually forgot to go to support Xu Chu, but ......
