Hanzhong Nanzheng is located in the north of Hanshui, from Pujia Pass to Nanzheng, you can take Baishui Pass, Guancheng, and then cross Yangping Pass to Nanzheng, but now Yangping Pass can be guarded by the Wei army, if you want to go from this road to Nanzheng, then it is necessary to take Yangping Pass, but Yangping Pass is famous for being easy to defend and difficult to attack, when Cao Cao led the army to attack Hanzhong, it was to take Yangping Pass, Zhang Lu's more than 10,000 troops guarded Yangping Pass for more than a month, and finally Cao Cao lost his troops and lost his generals, and he was short of some failures and returned, and finally he relied on luck to take Yangping PassWhen Shi Yuan thought of this, he abandoned the route of taking Yangping Pass into Hanzhong, you must know that the defenders of Yangping Pass are Wei troops, and how can they be compared to Zhang Lu's army.

Another road from Pujia Pass to Hanzhong is to first go from Pujia Pass to Micang Road, and then you can also reach Hanzhong along Micang Road, but now there are 15,000 soldiers led by General Zhang Fei on this road, and the Wei army has also strengthened the defense force of this road, taking this road is conducive to the enemy's defense, which is bound to make the army fall into a bitter battle, Shi Yuan thought of this, and also gave up this road.

The other road is through the mountains and dense forests, directly to Hanzhong, this road is the most difficult and dangerous, very unfavorable to the march, the most important thing is that there are still tens of thousands of Wei troops in Nanzheng now, it is impossible to take Nanzheng by surprise attack, so this road will not have any special effect, if there is only a small army in the enemy's city, it may be possible to use this method, but now, it is estimated that it will not work, after thinking about it, Shiyuan still gave up this line.

"It seems that this is the only way to go." Shi Yuan said silently.

Liu Bei came to Pujia on the second day after he came.

On this day, Liu Bei summoned all the well-known generals in Pujia Pass to the Pujia Pass Council Hall to discuss the capture of Hanzhong. Liu Bei came to Hanzhong this time, it can be said that he brought all the elite soldiers in Chengdu, and now all the elite soldiers under Liu Bei's account are gathered in Hanzhong, which also shows Liu Bei's determination to take Hanzhong.

"As soon as our army won Yizhou, Cao Thief led the army to take the land of Hanzhong, the land of Hanzhong has always been the north gate of Yizhou, and now the Cao thief has occupied our gate, what can we do, what else can we do, the enemy has hit the gate, can we only let the Cao thief be bullied? No, absolutely not, I don't allow it, I don't think all of you will allow Cao Thief to bully us like this, so the best way for us to fight back against the enemy now is to drive the enemy out of our gate, so that they will never dare to come again, so that we can live with peace of mind in our home, our parents can also live with peace of mind, and our brothers and sisters and wives can live with peace of mind. Liu Bei said impassionedly, which aroused the desire of all the soldiers in the council hall to fight.

After Shi Yuan heard Liu Bei's words, he suddenly had a feeling of excitement, thinking in his heart, this Liu Bei is indeed a capable person, and with these words, it is enough to prove his status.

"Lord, give the order! I, Ma Chao, am willing to take the lead for the lord, and vow to take Hanzhong for the lord and drive the Cao thief out of Hanzhong. Ma Chao stood up and said excitedly.

"I, Zhang Ren, am also willing to take the lead for the lord."

"I, Liu Feng, am willing to take the lead for the initiative."

"I, Zhang Bao, would like to take the lead for the lord."

All the generals in the conference hall were all vying to take the lead for Liu Bei, and it seemed that what Liu Bei said was indeed extraordinary. Liu Bei watched the generals fight bravely one by one, he was very happy in his heart, and a smile was obvious on his face.

"Now Xiahou Yuan personally led 20,000 soldiers to attack Guancheng, and General Wei Yan led an army of 8,000 to defend Guancheng, the most important thing at the moment is to solve the crisis of Guancheng, and then we can drive our troops directly to Yangping Pass. General Ma Chao, I order you to lead an army of 10,000 to Guancheng immediately, join forces with General Wei Yan, defeat the Wei army, and solve the crisis in Guancheng. ”

"Yes." Ma Chao shouted loudly.

"After the crisis in Guancheng is resolved, the rest of the soldiers will go to Guancheng with me, and then cross the Han River and go straight into the belly of Hanzhong."

"Yes." The generals replied loudly.

After finishing speaking, most of the generals in the chamber left and returned to their barracks, and there were still Liu Bei, Shiyuan, Ma Chao, Zhang Ren, Zhao Yun, Fa Zheng, etc. in the chamber, Zhang Ren since the last time he won the battle of the Wei army, he was relied on by Liu Bei, and now Zhang Ren's status in Liu Bei's group, although not as good as Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others, but it is basically the same as Ma Chao, Wei Yan and others.

"Strategist, the strategy you told us about crossing the Han River is probably a little difficult to implement. You must know that the Han River is wider, that is, the narrow place is nearly five or six zhang wide, and the water flow is turbulent, if the soldiers want to cross the river, they must build a bridge on the Han River, but it takes a long time to build a bridge, if we build a bridge when the Wei army attacks, it will be very unfavorable to us! "The Shu army is too law-abiding and is saying the doubts in his heart.

The rest of the generals in the council hall also showed puzzled expressions on their faces at this time, these people are all good at fighting, naturally they know how inconvenient it is to build bridges on the march, and when they learned the lord's order, they also had some doubts in their hearts.

"Haha, Strategist, you better talk to them quickly!" Liu Bei said happily.

Shi Yuan also straightened his throat at this time, and then spoke:

"Hyozhi is right. But now we don't have to worry about this matter, these days I am also thinking about how to quickly build a bridge through the river, you must know that from Yizhou to the north, through Hanzhong, into the pass, that is a lot of mountains and rivers, the terrain and its complexity, our soldiers are good at climbing mountains, but they are not good at crossing the river, and then I thought of how the ancients made the sickle hook, according to this idea, I came up with the current soldier's spear head to change to a snail, so that the soldier's spear can be used as a weapon, and can also be used to build a bridge during the march, When crossing the river, a number of these guns are put together to become a raft, so that the time for our army to cross the river will be greatly shortened, and the problem of crossing the river will not exist. Shi Yuan finished this paragraph with a blushing face and a heartbeat, at this time Shi Yuan completely exerted the spirit of take-it-ism, and used all the benefits to himself for his own use, if Kong Ming knew that he had snatched his invention over, I don't know what Kong Ming would feel in his heart, hehe, but Kong Ming should not know, Shi Yuan thought about it a little obscenely in his heart.

After Shi Yuan finished speaking, he completely solved the doubts of all the generals in the council hall, and they all praised the military advisor one after another.

"Now Xiahou Yuan has been attacking Guancheng for nearly ten days, the Wei army is bound to be sleepy after such a long time of fighting, General Ma Chao led the army to go and join forces with General Wei Yan, it should not be difficult to defeat the enemy, but the general must remember that killing the enemy in this battle is not the goal, what you have to do is to drive the enemy back to Yangping Pass, and then you and General Wei Yan will lead the army to Yangping Pass, and make a posture of attacking Yangping Pass at any time, the purpose is to make the enemy unable to come out of Yangping Pass, so as not to find out that our army has crossed the Han River." Shi Yuan said to General Ma Chao.

"In addition, the general also needs to always pay attention to Cao Zhen, Cao Hong and others who are going to attack Wudu County, if these two people lead the army back to Yangping Pass, the general should immediately lead the army back, and must not engage the enemy." Shi Yuan continued.

*********

On the second day, Ma Chao and Ma Dai personally led 10,000 soldiers to set off from Pujia Pass and go to Guancheng. As Shiyuan expected, two days later, the news that Ma Chao and Wei Yan joined forces to defeat Xiahou Yuan came from Guancheng, Xiahou Yuan did not dare to continue to stay in Guancheng after the defeat, and led the army back to Yangping Pass, Ma Chao and Wei Yan The two generals led 15,000 soldiers to Yangping Pass to camp in accordance with Shiyuan's strategy.

After the news of Guancheng's victory arrived, Liu Bei ordered the army to set off and go to Guancheng. In this battle, Liu Bei led 40,000 soldiers, accompanied by Shi Yuan, Fa Zheng, Zhao Yun, Liu Feng, Zhang Bao and other generals, and the whole army drove to Guancheng, leaving Meng Da to lead 10,000 soldiers to guard Pujia Pass to prevent the enemy.
