30,000 elite soldiers, lined up in many columns, set off from Chengdu City, with flags covering the sun, very spectacular. After discussing with Ma Chao and Zhang Ren, www.biquge.info Shiyuan, the two generals, decided to start from Chengdu, take the Micang Road, and then pass through Xichong, Brazil, Bachuan, Nanjiang and other places, and then reach Pujia Pass in Hanzhong. This route, compared to the Sword Pavilion route, although it is farther, but the road is relatively flat, and the speed of the army walking is relatively faster, and the time taken by the two is about the same. Another point is also a very crucial point, that is, Shi Yuan knew that after Cao Cao occupied Hanzhong, he sent his generals to occupy the land of Sanba, which is Ba County, Badong, and Brazil. By choosing this route, we can inspect the garrison situation in various places along the way and increase our defensive forces, and second, we can eliminate some resistance forces along the way and strengthen the stability of these places.

An army of 30,000 walked 20 kilometers a day, and it was stable along the way, and there was nothing major. More than ten days later, the army came to Brazil, and when he arrived in Brazil, Shiyuan found that although the land of Brazil was nominally surrendered, it was actually under the control of the Bazhong Zhenren tribe chieftain Puhu, Du, Ren Yue, etc., and the people here were also afraid of these tribes. All the policies promulgated by Liu Bei after occupying Yizhou did not show any signs of being implemented here, and even the officials sent by Liu Bei were very afraid of these tribes. When Shi Yuan arrived here, he saw this situation, and immediately made up his mind, even if he arrived in Hanzhong some time late, he must let the people of these tribes sincerely submit, otherwise he didn't know what these people would do behind their backs when the Hanzhong War was in the future. If the outside is unstable, how can we talk about the outside!

After Liu Bei occupied Chengdu, he appointed his second brother to serve as the Brazilian Taishou, which shows that Liu Bei also attaches great importance to Brazil. After Zhang Fei accompanied Liu Bei to Jingzhou, Liu Bei appointed Yan Zhi as the Brazilian Taishou to oversee all military and political affairs in Brazil County. After Shi Yuan arrived in Brazil, he summoned Yan Zhi, and after some detailed inquiry, he learned the details of the situation of Brazil County at this time, but to Shi Yuan's surprise, after a conversation with Yan Zhi, he found that this person was quite wise, and he also put forward his own views on the situation of Brazil County at this time. Yan Zhi thinks that the ultimate reason for such a situation in Brazil County is because the lord has insufficient control over these places, although he appointed General Zhang Fei as the Taishou of Brazil County, but General Zhang Fei has not had time to take office, so he went to Jingzhou, and later when the Lord appointed Yan Zhi, because he had to send troops to Jingzhou, Yan Zhi as the Taishou of Brazil County, when he came to Brazil County to take up his post, he only brought 1,000 soldiers and horses, how could this compete with the nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Bazhong Zhenren tribe. In the end, Yan Zhi proposed to Shiyuan to send troops to exterminate the Bazhong Zhenren tribe, and then leave a few thousand soldiers and horses in Brazil County, so that Brazil County will be safe, Brazil County will be safe, and Chengdu County will be safe.

After thinking about it for a while, Shi Yuan adopted Yan Zhi's strategy, immediately asked where these tribes were located, and then immediately ordered Ma Chao and Zhang Ren to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses each to exterminate them.

Ma Chao and Zhang Renjun were tiger generals at that time, and the number of troops was twice that of the other party, and in less than two days, the two generals returned triumphantly, not only successfully exterminating the tribe, but also capturing nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses. After Shi Yuan saw these captives, he saw that the people of these tribes were very tall and strong, and Shi Yuan took note of them and added these captives to the army of 30,000 to enrich the army.

After the army rested in Brazil for a day, they immediately set off for Hanzhong, and when leaving, Shiyuan left 5,000 soldiers and horses in Brazil, which were led by Yan Zhi, one to continue to exterminate the rebel forces in the county, and the other to guard the land of Sanba.

Half a month later, 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Shi Yuan, Ma Chao, Zhang Ren and other generals came to Pujia Pass, and at the same time brought a lot of military food, enough for the soldiers in Pujia Pass to eat for a year. At this time, there were 40,000 soldiers and horses in Pujia Pass, Shi Yuan and Huang Quan were strategists, and Ma Chao, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan, Ma Dai, and Meng Da were generals. After Shi Yuan and the others arrived at Pujia Pass, they went to the meeting hall in Pujia Pass to discuss the war in Hanzhong.

During this period of time, the guards of Pujia Pass were Wei Yan and Meng Da, and I only heard General Wei Yan sit aside at this time and say:

Cao Cao and this July led 100,000 soldiers and horses to arrive at Yangping Pass in the west of Hanzhong, when Yangping Pass guard is Zhang Lu's brother Zhang Wei led more than 10,000 people to resist Cao Cao, the battle was very fierce at the beginning, Yangping Pass is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Cao Cao's army attacked for many days, soldiers were killed and wounded, and there was no progress. Later, I don't know what strategy Cao Cao's army used, broke through Yangping Pass, and killed the general Yang Ren, Zhang Wei fled overnight. Zhang Lu saw that after Cao Cao broke through Yangping Pass, he led the crowd to surrender. Cao Cao is the treasure of the Hanzhong Treasury, the soldiers, horses and military rations, and the morale is also very high. I and General Meng Da prepared for war all day long in Pujia Pass, and wanted to take Hanzhong before the Cao thief, but the number of soldiers in my hands was insufficient, so I could only watch the Cao thief take Hanzhong, which was really angry. Now that the military advisor has come with his soldiers and horses, we can compete with the Cao thief and recapture Hanzhong. ”

At this time, General Mengda, who was next to him, said:

"General Wei Yan, now our army only has a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses, how to compete with Cao Thief's 100,000 army, for today's plan, we can only stick to Pujia Pass, and wait for the lord to personally lead the army to arrive before fighting a decisive battle with Cao Thief."

As soon as General Meng Da finished speaking, he heard General Wei Yan say hurriedly:

"General Meng Da is afraid of Cao thief, but I'm not afraid. Please give me 20,000 soldiers and horses, and I will swear to take Hanzhong, otherwise I will come to see me. ”

After Shi Yuan heard General Wei Yan's words, he also hurriedly said: "Wen Chang doesn't need to worry, Hanzhong is the gateway to Chengdu, and we are bound to take Hanzhong, but we still need to discuss it carefully for today's plan, and we must not act recklessly, otherwise it will lead to a big mistake." The two generals Ma Chao and Zhang Ren on the side also hurriedly persuaded. Wei Yan saw that everyone persuaded him, and he didn't insist anymore, so he turned around and sat down.

Shi Yuan knew more about General Wei Yan at this time, if he was really a military general who dared to take risks, no wonder history would put forward such a strategy as the Meridian Valley Scheme, and Hanzhong, which wanted to take down 100,000 elite soldiers to defend with 20,000 people, was tantamount to a fantasy.

After Wei Yan sat down, the excitement on his face slowly calmed down, and after thinking carefully about what he had just said, he also found that he was too reckless just now. At this time, with 20,000 troops to attack Hanzhong, unless there is a miracle, I am afraid that my head can no longer be saved, and now I think about it, there are some fears, fortunately, the military division did not agree to his request just now, otherwise it ....... After his mood calmed down completely, Wei Yan turned his head to look at Shi Yuan, just as Shi Yuan's eyes were also on General Wei Yan at this time, the two looked at each other, and then Shi Yuan smiled slightly.
