Zhou Zhi was personally taken by Huang Zhong to see Liu Bei, and as soon as they met, he hurriedly handed over Ge Liang's letter. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Bei took the letter, opened it and looked at it, but he almost didn't believe it, turned his head to look at Fazheng, and then looked at Zhao Yun and others, his face was full of doubts, causing everyone to be worried one by one, not knowing what was going on.

"Good news." Liu Bei took the letter in front of his eyes again and read it, "This news is so good, I can't believe it." ”

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and one by one they turned their worries into joy.

"I can't believe it. Guess what's the good news? ”

Except for Huang Zhong and Zhou, everyone shook their heads in unison, what are you doing, Lord of the Heart Dao, if there is good news, hurry up and tell everyone, everyone is happy.

Liu Bei stood up and said in a long voice: "The good news is that Zhang Lu has already run away!" Nan Zheng has been occupied by the Zhuge Army! ”

Everyone cheered in unison and congratulated Liu Bei together.

Now Liu Bei had a smile on his face, and hurriedly asked someone to give Zhou Yu a seat, so that he could talk about how the military advisor took Nanzheng so quickly.

Zhou was flattered, and stammered a little about how they had crossed mountains and streams these days, interspersed with the enemy camp, and how the military division had improvised to drive Yang Ang back to Nanzheng overnight, and how he had crossed the Han River in the east and west, and then lured the enemy out of the city with false news, and Wei Yan took advantage of the chaos to seize the city.

The generals were amazed in their hearts.

Liu Bei showed the letter to everyone again: "Now, according to what the military advisor said, quickly send someone to send a message to Chen Shi, who is still attacking in front of Yangping Pass, and ask him to lead the army back ten miles." General Huang and Zilong led the army to the top of Dingjun Mountain to wave their flags and shout, forcing Zhang Wei to abandon the pass and surrender, or let him flee for his life. ”

At the beginning, Zhang Wei Hengshan built the city into Yangping Pass, tightly guarded the entrance of the Hanzhong Plain, cut off the road from Yizhou to Hanzhong, and wanted to hold on to the danger, so that Liu Bei's army from afar retreated due to the difficulty of grain transportation, but he did not expect that the battle had not yet started, and he received the news that the rear Micang Road had been sudden, and the Shu soldiers had been in the south of Zheng City, and immediately told the messenger sergeant that he promised to immediately send troops back to rescue Nanzheng.

Just when he was about to let Chen Yin and Hou Xuan lead the army back to the rescue, he suddenly got the information that Liu Bei was also opening another passage and preparing to move the army to Dingjun Mountain to break into the Hanzhong Plain, which made him anxious, and he changed his words and asked Chen Yin and them to go to Dingjun Mountain to build a camp according to the danger, and then send troops to rescue Nanzheng.

Chen Yin and Hou Xuan were originally local generals in Guanzhong and Ma Chao and Han Sui who raised troops against Cao, and defected to Zhang Lu after the defeat.

"Didn't you say that the enemy army on the side of Yonecang Road only had 5,000 remote divisions and a lone army going deeper? Just because of that little person, he couldn't beat Nan Zheng for a while! If Liu Bei's army breaks through from Dingjun Mountain again, then even Yangping Pass will not be able to be saved, and Nanzheng will not be able to be saved! "Zhang Wei is actually out of proportion.

Chen Yinhe and Hou Xuan insisted: "Nanzheng is only a few thousand people now, in case something goes wrong, there is no point in sticking to the front line of Yangping Pass." ”

"Okay, okay, you go back to Nanzheng first, and I'll send someone else to Dingjun Mountain right away." Zhang Wei no longer insisted, alas, he blamed himself for the lack of people and not enough distribution.

Chen Yinhe and Hou Xuan led the army back to Nanzheng, and halfway through, they learned that Ge Liang had already set up camp in front of him, blocking the way, so he stopped first and sent someone to sneak back to Nanzheng secretly to report the news, but he didn't expect that the person was caught by the secret post sent by Ge Liang before he went far, and he immediately sent Zhou to deceive the defenders of Nanzheng City out of the city.

That night, Chen Yin and Hou Xuan learned that the Shu camp was on fire, and Ben had immediately marched into the army to prepare for the attack, but found that the road was stuffed with grass and trees, and the raging fire stopped them, and when the fire subsided, Nan Zheng had already been taken by Wei Yan and Huang Quan, and the two had to retreat to Yangping Pass.

Zhang Wei learned that Nan Zheng was lost so quickly, and he also knew that there was no point in holding on to Yangping Pass any longer, but where could he go now? I was so anxious that I didn't sleep for three days and three nights, and I still didn't make up my mind.

Suddenly, the sergeant came to report that the Shu army in front had retreated ten miles overnight, and at the same time shot a letter to the gate. Zhang Wei hurriedly opened it and saw that it was Liu Bei's letter, persuading him to surrender and promise not to add crimes, if he really didn't want to, now the Shu army has also given way to the road, whether it is to live in Wudu or simply go around Nanzheng to Xixiang and Shangyong.

Zhang Wei hesitated, and immediately received a message from Nanzheng Geliang, which was exactly the same as Liu Bei's letter, asking him to withdraw to Xixiang immediately, and the Shu army would block the road when it was over.

Zhang Wei heard that his brother had gone to Xixiang, so he decided to go around Nanzheng and Xixiang, anyway, he still had more than 10,000 soldiers, and the Nanzheng defenders did not dare to attack rashly, not to mention that Liu Bei and Ge Liang had also spoken.

The army marched all the way east, and before it reached Nanzheng, many sergeants had fled, all of them were locals, how many people were willing to follow the general of a defeated army to abandon their families and go to a foreign land?

Chen Yin and Hou Xuan did not leave, and led their few troops directly to the city of Nanzheng to express their surrender.

Where else to flee, for example, it is almost three points today, and if they don't surrender Liu Bei, they can only go to Cao Cao or Sun Quan. Surrender Cao Cao? He was a mortal enemy at the beginning, and it was better not to flee to Hanzhong than to surrender.

Surrender to Sun Quan? Across thousands of mountains and rivers!

Since Ma Chao defected to Liu Bei and became a high-ranking official, Liu Bei would not treat them too badly.

The army's spirit was dispersed, and Zhang Wei was powerless to stop it, so in the end, he could only take more than 1,000 people and horses and hurriedly went to Xixiang.

Liu Bei led the army to Nanzheng, and Ge Liang led Huang Quan, Wei Yan, Zhang Wei, Wang Ping and others out of the city to greet him.

Liu Bei saw Ge Liang and his party from afar, and quickly dismounted and walked over quickly: "The military advisor took Nanzheng in a moment, and my Shu lieutenant soldiers were almost unharmed, Liu Bei is very grateful." ”

Ge Liang hurriedly greeted him: "The lord is serious, he is a trick, and he won by luck, in fact, this is all the credit of the soldiers, and it is also the blessing of the lord." ”

Liu Bei hurriedly said to Huang Quan, Wei Yan and others: "Gongheng, Wenchang, Boqi, all the soldiers, everyone has worked hard and made great contributions to the recovery of Hanzhong, Liu Bei is here to thank you." Hey? I haven't seen these strong men before. As he spoke, he pointed to Wang Ping, who was standing behind Ge Liang.

Ge Liang hurriedly pulled Wang Ping to stand in front and introduced: "This person's surname is Wang Mingping, the characters are even, the people of the ditch are well-known, and he knows the geography of Hanzhong well. ”

Wang Ping hurriedly knelt down: "Wearing a sinful body, I am willing to accept the responsibility of the lord." ”

Liu Bei hurriedly helped him up: "Zijun, you have made a great contribution to my capture of Nanzheng, and it is too late for me to reward him." ”

Ge Liang then introduced Chen Yin and the candidate to Liu Bei. (To be continued.) )
