Chapter 428: Xu Shubing enters Jiameng Pass
Gan Ning has an unruly personality and rarely convinces people, but he obeys his words when he believes in those who are identified. He Xian replied and asked him to stand still and watch the changes in Jiangdong, Gan Ning didn't even question it, so he followed He Xian's instructions and stood still. Seeing that the deputy generals Le Jin and Li Dian looked at each other. Because a few days ago, Gan Ning was obviously gearing up to fight Jiangdong, no matter how Li Dian persuaded him, Gan Ning didn't listen, but he didn't expect that He Xian's letter would dispel all Gan Ning's passion.
As long as Gan Ning did not take the initiative to provoke Sun Quan, Sun Quan would definitely not dare to take the initiative to attack. If Sun Ce is alive, there is a high probability that he will take the morale after pacifying Jiangdong and take advantage of the situation to attack Yangzhou. But Sun Quan does not have the prestige of his brother for the time being, and stability has become the main theme of Jiangdong now.
In the Liangzhou battlefield in the northwest, after Ma Teng retreated to Wuwei to recuperate, Han Sui was alone in Jincheng, and the Nanyang army gradually occupied the initiative. Anxi General Zhu Jun's body is not as good as day by day, basically sitting in Chang'an City and settling the rear with Zhong Xuan. The battle ahead was all handed over to Zhang Xiu and Zhuge Liang to deal with. Zhang Xiu from the beginning of disdain, to acceptance, to the current respect, Zhuge Liang used his strategy and strength to conquer the unruly Xiliang warrior Zhang Xiu. Since Zhang Xiu established a close comrade-in-arms relationship with Zhuge Liang, he gradually drew a clear line with Yang Biao and others and cut off contacts. He Xian did not give Zhuge Liang this task, it is estimated that after Zhuge Liang learned some secrets from Zhang Xiu, he persuaded Zhang Xiu to recognize the current situation and stick to the correct path, instead of dying by himself.
On the northwest front, there are Zhu Jun, Zhong Xuan, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Xiu, and there are many big names, and He Xian is not worried at all. On the southwest front, Xu Shu, who presided over the work in Hanzhong, made He Xian always worry. The army was stationed in Hanzhong, and He Xian didn't want to, but couldn't. Under the circumstance that Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu are not allowed to leave Hanzhong, if the Nanyang army is stationed in Hanzhong, it will give the two of them an impression that they are too strong, and it will be counterproductive.
Xu Shu led the elite of the 10,000 Nanyang Army into Hanzhong in the name of allies, and Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu obeyed the dispatch of the Han family, and did not say that they would serve He Xian. Therefore, Xu Shu not only had to resist Liu Bei's attack from the direction of Jiameng Pass, but also pacified the two forces of Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu, and united sincerely, and the pressure was not ordinary. Judging from the current effect, Xu Shu has done a very good job!
When he first arrived in Hanzhong, Xu Shu had always regarded himself as a guest army and was not authoritarian. All major and small battles were decided by Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu, and Xu Shu only served as a staff officer to remind the matter. Xu Shu is so sensible, Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu will pay due attention to Xu Shu's opinion in return. After several battles, Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu slowly realized Xu Shu's great talent. If it weren't for Xu Shu's reminder and repeated revelations of the Yizhou Army's tricks, Hanzhong would have changed hands long ago. Xu Shu used his own ability to conquer Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu, and also conquered Zhang Ren, Huang Zhong, Yan Pu and other important ministers of the Hanzhong coalition army, and gradually obtained the command of the Hanzhong defensive battle in essence.
And Liu Bei, with the assistance of Xun You, played a full set of thirty-six strategies, but he didn't beat down the little Hanzhong, and it took a year in vain. In the end, because of the lack of food and grass, Liu Bei led the army to retreat to Jiameng Pass. After the Yizhou army retreated, Xu Shu took advantage of the situation to lead the Hanzhong coalition army to recover the lost territory on the periphery of Hanzhong, and pushed the position all the way to the Jiameng Pass. Today, Hanzhong has a bumper harvest, and there is no shortage of grain and grass. Xu Shu made it clear that he wanted to hold Liu Beijun back and prevent Liu Bei from returning to Chengdu. The road in Shuzhong is difficult, and logistics is a big trouble. Xu Shu just wanted to drag Liu Bei to death and bring him down.
In ancient times, from Chengdu to Chang'an (Xi'an), it was necessary to enter from the west gate of Zhaohua and exit from the east gate of Zhaohua; From Chang'an (Xi'an) to Chengdu, you have to enter from the east gate and exit from the west gate. The ancient city of Zhaohua is an important pass connecting Bashu and the Central Plains, before the establishment of the city in Zhaohua, the roads of Chengdu and Chang'an have been connected, that is, "there is a road first, and then there is a city". Before the city of Zhaohua was built, there was a pass here, called "Jiameng Pass".
Jiameng Pass, is the place where the Jialing River and the Bailong River meet, the land road leads to Hanzhong, down to Chengdu, down the Jialing River, up to Langzhong, an important town in Brazil, the geographical location is very important. Historical data describe Jiamengguan as "the peak is connected to the jade base, the ground is connected to the Jincheng, the sword pavilion is with the Jiameng, the Jialing and the pillow is white, and the male of the Chengtian is also." “
In the fifth year of King Shenliang of Zhou (316 BC), the king of Ba and the king of Shu had a dispute over enmity. So King Huiwen of Qin took the opportunity to send Sima Cuo, a famous general of Qin, to attack Shu, and there were several fierce battles with the Bashu army outside Jiameng Pass. After Qin destroyed Bashu, he placed Jiamengguan and governed Zhaohua County......
In Jiameng Pass, Zhang Fei heard that Xu Shu was tackling key problems, and went straight to Liu Bei's Chinese army tent and asked to go out of the pass to fight.
Xun You was discussing countermeasures with Liu Bei, and when he saw Zhang Fei pretending to be deaf, he continued to say to Liu Bei: "My lord, Xu Shu is attacking today, and the enemy generals Huang Zhong and Zhang Ren are invincible; Unless Guan Yunchang is transferred from Chengdu, he can fight the enemy. ”
In this attack on Yizhou, Liu Bei took Xun You, Zhang Fei, Chen Zhi, Wang Ping, Liao Hua and other generals, Guan Yu and Fa Zheng were left in Chengdu to guard Yizhou.
Zhang Fei was displeased when he heard this, and raised his voice: "Why did the military advisor underestimate me?" I once rejected Dong Zhuo's 100,000 Xiliang iron horses in Hangu Pass, how could I be defeated by Huang Zhong and the old horseman, and Zhang Yijie Huangkou Xiaoer? ”
Xun Yu said unhurriedly: "Yide blocked 10,000 in Hangu Pass, and Gayin Huaxiong didn't know the real thing. If you know the truth, how can the general be fine? Zhang Ren is the same brother of the general He Xian, and the marksmanship of the hundred birds and the phoenix is not under He Xian and Zhang Xiu, and the world knows it. And that Huang Zhong, it is said that the force is still above Zhang Ren, although he is a veteran, he is old and strong, and it is not an idle ratio. The cloud is long and may not be able to beat the two, Yide, you ......"
Zhang Fei was immediately furious: "I am willing to make a military order, if I can't defeat Huang Zhong and Zhang Ren, I am willing to serve in military law!" ”
Liu Bei heard the great urgency, Huang Zhong and Zhang Renzhi's bravery, and Liu Bei also heard about it. Although his third brother's martial arts are extraordinary, but as the so-called "Wen Wu is the first and Wu is not the second", the unknown masters in the world do not know geometry, Zhang Fei is so big, I am afraid that something will happen. Liu Bei just wanted to refuse, but saw Xun You staring at him. Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that this was the military advisor using the agitation method for Zhang Fei. After understanding Xun You's intentions, Liu Bei's face slowed, he stroked his beard and didn't speak, and asked for ** to deal with Xun You.
Xun You said: "If you are willing to sign the military order, I will persuade the lord to agree to you to lead the troops out of the customs." ”
Zhang Fei was overjoyed: "A gentleman's word? ”
Xun You: "It's hard to chase the horse!" ”
Liu Bei nodded and said, "Since the military advisor agrees, I don't object." Third brother, your martial arts are extraordinary, but don't fall for the enemy's tricks, be careful in everything! ”
