Chapter Eighty-Four: Two Levels in One Day (Part II)
Soon after General Wei Yan left Baishui Pass for Guancheng, Huang Quan, who was in Baishui Pass, immediately sent someone to report the news that Baishui Pass had been captured to the military division in Pujia Pass. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After receiving the news, Shiyuan immediately felt at ease, Baishui Pass had been obtained, and the Guancheng would definitely not be far from being taken.
However, there is another thing that makes Shi Yuan a little worried at this time, that is, Zhang Fei, the Brazilian Taishou of Brazil County, and Huang Zhong, the general who captured Wudu County, especially Zhang Fei, who is not a good stubble, as for whether these two people can listen to their own dispatch, Shi Yuan has no bottom in his heart, and this situation will definitely not be conducive to the decisive battle with Cao Jun in Hanzhong in the future.
What to do? Shi Yuan thought about it for a long time, but in the end he still didn't come up with any particularly good way, the only way was to ask the lord for help, and let the lord Liu Bei give the two of them an order to obey his own dispatch. After thinking of this idea, Shi Yuan immediately wrote a letter to the lord, in which he wrote:
"The lord personally opened, a month ago our army and Cao army in the Pujia Pass decisive battle, achieved a great victory, wiped out more than 50,000 enemy troops, but now get the news, Cao Hong, Cao Zhen and others led 50,000 troops have reached the valley, will soon arrive in Hanzhong, and the news of the defeat of Hanzhong will also spread to Luoyang, presumably Cao Cao will personally lead the troops to Hanzhong, so our army is in danger. Hanzhong is a place where soldiers must fight, the west can enter the land of Longxi, the north can enter the Guanzhong Plain, the east can go down the Han River, and the south can go directly to Yizhou, if Hanzhong can't, then Yizhou is also in danger.
Today, our army has a total of 75,000 soldiers in Hanzhong, 40,000 in Pujiaguan, 15,000 in Pasir County, and 20,000 in Wudu County.
Hanzhong'an, Chengdu An; If you get it in Hanzhong, you will get it in the world. I also hope that the lord will carefully consider the minister's proposal. ”
After the letter was written and loaded, Shi Yuan immediately ordered the guards to send the letter to Chengdu for 800 miles and handed it over to the lord.
"I hope that when the lord sees this letter of mine, he will approve." Shi Yuan thought for a moment.

Sekijo.
"Oh, Hu Er, I remembered. Aren't you in Whitewater? It's okay, what are you doing in Sekiki? After hearing Hu Er's words, the king on the city wall thought for a long time before he finally remembered.
"Of course there's something, it's okay, I'm here for what I'm doing. Our head, that is, Captain Cao, you know, likes to drink every day, and there is not much wine in our Baishui Pass, that is, it is barely enough for Captain Cao to drink alone. No, our Captain Cao saw that there were not many drinks left in the customs today, so let me ask you if there are many drinks here? Let me come over and get some. ”
"No, we don't have it here. Drink your own, but come and take us, why? I don't have one here, so you might as well go back. ”
"Hey, big head Wang, are you talking nonsense, I tell you well, you actually treat me like this. Who here doesn't know that your head doesn't like to drink, and it also stipulates that you are not allowed to drink, how can you not have alcohol here, I think you kid wants to hide it yourself! You must know that the relationship between our head and your head is very hard, I will go back and tell our head, you said that if your head knew, what would you do to you? I'm afraid it's indispensable to write down the baton! ”
"You... You... How dare you threaten me? After listening to Hu Er's words, the king on the city wall trembled with anger, and his speech stumbled.
"Big head Wang, don't open the city gate quickly, let us go in and get some drinks, otherwise we will be in a hurry, and neither of us will think about it."
The head of the king at the head of the city did not dare to refuse anymore, he knew the temper of his own head best, if he was known by the head, he would definitely not be better, thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and said angrily to the soldiers next to him:
"Go down and open the gates to them."
Wei Yan watched the door in front of him slowly open, a smile rose on the corner of his mouth, and then he said:
"Good job, you have made a lot of contributions this time, and there will be a reward after the city is broken."
However, the knife Wei Yan was holding in his hand was still on Hu Er's waist, probably worried about Hu Er's scheming at this critical moment!
"Signaling; Come on! ”
When Wei Yan saw that the door was completely open, he shouted two words loudly. After Wei Yan finished speaking, one of the soldiers behind immediately shot a flying arrow into the sky, and the Shu army hidden in the woods behind saw the flying arrows and rushed out of the woods.
"There's an enemy, there's an enemy, close the door."
The king on the city wall shouted loudly and hurriedly. But it was too late, after Wei Yan shouted loudly, Wei Yan led these dozens of soldiers to rush to the wide open city gate, so close distance, the Wei army at the city gate did not have time to close the city gate anymore, and Wei Yan would not give them time to close the city gate.
"Occupy the gates, hold the gates, and the great army will arrive soon."
After killing several Wei soldiers at the city gate, Wei Yan shouted loudly. It is a matter of looking for death just by these dozens of men rushing into the city, but there is no problem with dozens of men guarding the gate and waiting for the large army.
As soon as Wei Yan finished speaking, he saw a group of Wei troops rushing towards the city gate from the city. The gate of Guancheng is not very large, and the width is less than two zhang, which makes even if there are more Wei troops rushing over, but there are only a few people who can fight with the Shu army.
A moment later, the army from outside the city rushed over. There were only a few hundred defenders in Guancheng, Wei Yan led a force of more than 2,000 people, rushed into Guancheng, killed the enemy and called a person to turn over on his back, and in less than a meal, Guancheng was taken, most of the Wei army was wiped out, and the rest also dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Hanzhong Nanzheng.
After the defeat of the last army, Xiahou Yuan hurriedly sent someone to Luoyang to ask the lord for help, and he must have arrived in Luoyang sooner than he could have done in these days. Moreover, the 50,000 reinforcements led by Cao Hong and Cao Zhen have also arrived in the valley, and now they are rushing to Hanzhong. So at this time, Xiahou Yuan no longer had the kind of decadence that he had just been defeated, especially when he learned that Cao Hong and Cao Zhen's reinforcements were about to arrive in Hanzhong, the feeling of revenge, competitiveness, and desire to establish meritorious service in Xiahou Yuan's heart quietly surfaced again. After the defeat, Xiahou Yuan didn't think about the shame of the snow, but he knew that it was not the right time, and nothing was important to hold Hanzhong, so during this period of time, Xiahou Yuan concentrated almost all his troops in Yangping Pass and Hanzhong to ensure that Hanzhong was foolproof. But now it is different, when the reinforcements arrive, the strength of the Wei army in Hanzhong will reach 100,000 again, and there will be more generals, which can be said to be stronger than before the defeat. The opportunity for his shame came to him, and Xiahou Yuan thought of a shame in his heart. Indeed, there is no military general who does not want to be ashamed after defeat.
"General, it's not good, General." A guard rushed over from the outside, and Xiahou Yuan was resting on the bed at this time, and after hearing the guard's shout, he suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart.
"What's the matter, what kind of system is it that you are yelling and yelling, and something is coming slowly."
"General, no, I just got the news that Baishui Pass and Guancheng were broken by the Shu army, and now the Shu army has occupied these two places."
"What, what did you say?" Xiahou Yuan jumped off the bed and asked loudly.
Impossible, absolutely impossible, Xiahou Yuan does not believe that these two places are easy to defend and difficult to attack, although Baishui Pass only has a thousand Wei troops, but if the Shu army wants to attack Baishui Pass, it is impossible to take Baishui Pass without half a day, Baishui Pass is very close to Yangping Pass, and the reinforcements can be reached in less than an hour, which is why Xiahou Yuan dared to rush to Baishui Pass to draw troops to defend Hanzhong, the enemy took these two places, and it was impossible for him not to get a little news. Xiahou Yuan didn't believe it, and he couldn't believe it.
"General, really, really. The soldiers who went to deliver rations to these two places today have not returned, and we have just seen soldiers sneaking in from these two places. ”
"Hurry up and inform the generals, and then bring the soldiers who are running over, hurry!" Xiahou Yuan was in a hurry, and he was very anxious, if these two places were lost, then the Shu army could directly threaten Yangping Pass.
Half an hour later, the generals of the Wei army in Hanzhong gathered in the main hall of Nanzheng, which was also the main hall used by Zhang Lu when he was there, and the soldiers who had sneaked back were also brought here. One by one, these soldiers trembled and told the process of the Shu army's occupation of these two places, and they kept kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to get up, very afraid. After these soldiers finished speaking, Xiahou Yuan could no longer control his anger, grabbed the water glass on the side and threw it on the ground in front of him, and with a snap, the water droplets splashed.
"The treacherous and cunning Shu army knows that using these obscene methods is a kind of upright battle with my Xiahou Yuan."
"General Xiahou, for the sake of today, we should send troops to recapture these two places while the Shu army is still unstable. Otherwise, Yangping Pass is in danger. As a colt, Du Xian said.
"No." The open jaw on the side raised a different opinion. "Now General Zhang Fei of the Shu army has led 10,000 troops into Pasir County, and Huang Zhong has also led 20,000 people to attack Wudu County, if we send troops to attack these two places, what if Zhang Fei of Pasir County comes to attack? What should I do if Huang Zhong of Wudu County comes to attack? It would be good if our army could quickly take these two places, otherwise the longer it drags on, the more dangerous it will be for us. I suggest that we wait for reinforcements to arrive before we do anything. ”
"General Zhangjaw, when the reinforcements arrive, the Shu army has already established itself in these two places, and it will definitely be more difficult to attack these two places when the time comes. I would still suggest attacking these two places at once now. ”
Xiahou Yuan listened to the different opinions put forward by the generals, and it was difficult to make up his mind for a while. The idea of shame that had just arisen because of the imminent arrival of reinforcements disappeared completely after learning the news that the Shu army had occupied Baishui Pass and Guancheng. Xiahou Yuan was worried that this was a ploy of the Shu army, and what if his army left Hanzhong and was wiped out by the enemy, Hanzhong would be in danger at that time, and Hanzhong might not be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive, and Hanzhong would be lost.
Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan made up his mind, not in a hurry, it was not too late to wait for reinforcements to arrive before attacking these two places.
