Under Yangping Pass, Lu Bu looked depressedly at the wall that had been destroyed into a ruin, and there was not a single brick or tile left in the former grandiose and tall and sturdy pass. www.biquge.info The river in the Guanne River was flooding, and there was a swamp as far as the eye could see, and Lu Meng was sending soldiers to drain the water urgently, and Lu Bu was so angry that his nose was crooked.

Lu Meng smiled bitterly and asked, "General, what now?" ”

Huo Jun was ashamed: "This matter is due to the incompetence of the last general, and the last general is willing to build this place from the new and make it the first dangerous pass in the world." ”

"What to repair. Yangping is locked in the hinterland of my Han Dynasty, and instead of working hard and losing money, it is better to ask for more foreign races. There is no Yangping dangerous pass, there is no defensible dangerous pass for our army, and there is no dangerous pass to restrict our army's westward advance into Chengdu, so be it. The danger is a double-edged sword, and Liu Bei must stop the army to defend on the front line of the sword pass. Frustrated said. Lu Budi's follow-up forces may not have to be Yuan Shao in the past, nor can they have a long-term stalemate with Cao Cao, but it is more than enough to drag down one Liu Bei, even if Liu Bei unifies Xichuan, it is easy to drag down Xichuan with the strength of Chang'an.

Liu Ye said: "Gonghe is right. Cao Cao will not give us time to build Yangping Pass, I am worried that as soon as Liu Biao dies, Cai Mao will surrender to Cao Cao at any time, Liu Biao is terminally ill and will die soon, and our army must arrive in Jingzhou when Cao Cao completely pacifies Jingzhou. ”

Liu Ye has secretly contacted the Jiangdong army, Zhou Yu has come back again, and the troops Chai Sangkou can send troops to Jingzhou at any time.

The army did not stop, walked through the ruins of Yangping Pass, and continued to march to Nanzheng. Halfway through, Lu Bu summoned Lu Meng and asked, "What is Shangyong's position on guarding Shen Tan?" ”

Lu Meng shook his head and said: "I have sent someone to contact me, and Shen Tan agreed to serve Chang'an, only pay taxes symbolically, and do not accept any official position in Chang'an's appointed place, let alone agree with our army to send troops to garrison, nor do I agree with Chang'an officials to enter Shangyong to verify internal affairs." ”

"How can it be justified? Isn't this trying to be a prince in his own right? The last general is willing to lead a large army to fight mediocrity! Yan Yan said, he has no merit in his new descent, and he is eager to make meritorious contributions, and he can't wait for such a gesture.

Shangyong is a very sensitive place, historically, Shen Tan relied on Shangyong to be at the junction of the three countries between the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, and he wanted to belong to whoever he wanted, and became a force of his own, and no one in the three kingdoms dared to use troops against Shangyong, otherwise he would have taken refuge in the hostile forces, but now is not the era of the Three Kingdoms, and he wants to be self-reliant Is this dream too early.

The Shen family almost controls the entire Shangyong, and the people of Shangyong are almost all dependent on the Shen family, and the land and officialdom are all controlled by the Shen family, and because Shangyong is located in a remote area, it is almost like a lonely city, and it has never experienced war for decades, and the population of a small Shangyong is as much as one million, and the absolute power of the Shen family over the vassal land is what Lu Bu does not want to see.

Shangyong is very important to the stability of Hanzhong, it is the gateway to the east of Hanzhong, and there is no room for loss, and Lu Bu's army wants to go south to Jingzhou, Shangyong is the only way, otherwise there is only a way back to Qinling to send troops from Chang'an.

Lu Busen smiled: "That's it, you take another letter of resignation, and the three princes and nine kings will be chosen by him, and he will show it." He asked Chang'an not to interfere in the military politics of the middle-of-the-middle, and the general agreed, and the only request of the general was to use Jingzhou. ”

Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu and other generals with low political level said dissatisfiedly: "This, how can the general of Shen Tan He De show him as the third duke?" ”

Xu Shu pondered for a moment, reacted, and winked at the generals: "I think Shen Tan is entrenched in Shangyong, and he governs Shangyong in an orderly manner, deep-rooted, and powerful, even if he is not qualified for the third duke, he can be qualified for Jiuqing." Treat these powerful rulers with great courtesy. ”

"As it should be. Yuan Zhi immediately arranged for the envoy to carry a large amount of money to Shangyong, and he must meet all the conditions of Shen Tan, as long as he took advantage of our army's trip to Jingzhou. ”

Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, Yan Yan and other generals were dumbfounded, when did Lu Bu speak so well? Completely beyond their belief. If Lu Bu ordered the slaughter of the city, they wouldn't feel weird. When Yan Pu went to Shangyong with a lot of money, a group of generals believed that Lu Bu really wanted to buy a road with a lot of money.

As soon as Yan Pu's front foot left, Lu Bu immediately raised his tent to order troops. Lu Bu's high-ranking officials spent a lot of money just to paralyze the mediocrity, and when Shen Tan was dreaming, he killed him by surprise. Lu Bu did not dare to force Shen Tan with a tough attitude, in case Shen Tan ushered Cao Jun to the top, Lu Bu's road south to Jingzhou would be completely blocked.

"Use literature to be courteous, and use force to be powerful. If it is difficult to obey, then use horses to coerce. If the mediocrity is firmly hidden, it should be broken by force. I don't know who is willing to be the vanguard and take advantage of the prestige of our army? As long as the army arrives at Shangyong City, Lu Bu is willing to sit down again and talk calmly with Shen Tan with a knife.

Things changed too fast, and the generals couldn't keep up with their thinking, Yan Yan reacted in time, and was the first to come out to ask for battle: "The last general is newly surrendered, please be the vanguard." ”

Lu Bu sat up straight and said solemnly, "Quasi." Yan Yan is a vanguard general, and he is a military advisor, so he must arrive at Xingshi Mountain within ten days, and take the barren Wei Xingcheng as a transit place for our army's grain and grass before Shangyong reacts. There must be no mistakes. ”

Yan Yan was overjoyed, he thought that Lu Bu's subordinates would be like rain, and it would take him a long time to lead an army alone: "Huh." If not, Wei Xingcheng will be willing to come to see him at the end of the city. ”

Frustrated, but frowning deeply, this time is definitely a big responsibility, if there is a slight negligence, Lu Bu will really deal with it according to military law. Shangyong is in the middle of the dangerous mountains, only the Hanshui River Valley connects Hanzhong to Shangyong, and how steep the river in the mountains is. Occupying Shangyong in the east can defend against danger, while occupying Shangyong in the west is to put yourself in a dead place. Once Lu Bu's army can't get through Shangyong and is blocked in the valley, it can't retreat to Hanzhong, and the only way out is to get through Shangyong and use Wuguan Road to contact Shangyong to Chang'an.

"The matter of grain and grass will be escorted by General Huang Zhong. Zang Ba, Zhang Xiu, Wang Ping, Huo Jun and other generals stayed in Hanzhong, Zang Ba was responsible for jungle tactics to harass Xichuan Liu Bei, as long as Liu Bei and Liu Zhang turned against each other, Zang Ba would assist Liu Zhang to harass Liu Bei's army at any cost. ”

From Hanzhong to Shangyong, it has to go through hundreds of miles of mountain roads at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, which are uninhabited, and the army needs a lot of grain to go out.

Yan Yan marched extremely fast, day and night, and it only took seven days to reach Xingshi Mountain. Without waiting for a break, he immediately led a large army to attack Wei Xingcheng and attacked fiercely.

Meanness.

When Shen Tandang learned the news of the fall of Wei Xingcheng, he slapped the table and was furious: "How can this be true!" Lu Bu was repeatedly unrighteous, as soon as he sent an envoy to send gold, he immediately ordered troops to follow him, wanting to seek my inheritance! Do you really think that my Shen family let him knead it? ”

Shen Tan's younger brother Shen Yi frowned and said: "Dealing with Lu Bu is undoubtedly seeking skin with the tiger. Brother, when Yan Pu sent a high-ranking official a lot of money, I had this doubt. It's just that Wei Xingcheng is not under the jurisdiction of Shangyong, and Lu Butun's soldiers here may be trying to force his brother to break the contract and use the way, so that he can raise troops to attack my Shangyong and occupy the righteousness. As long as we close the city gate tightly and do not leave a handle for Lu Bu to use troops, for the sake of the world, Lu Bu will not dare to do unrighteous things and cut down my city. ”

"Lu Bu is capricious, I'm still relieved. Those in high power, life and death, what is the reason? Am I doing something wrong, I shouldn't be greedy for high-ranking officials and lords, and I refused Lu Bu's excuse from the beginning. ”

"So what now?"

Shen Tan said resolutely: "The land of the people of Shangyong is all my Shen family, and Lu Bu doesn't dare to force us urgently, it's a big deal to fight to the death." ”

Shen Yi hurriedly said: "What about the family?" In case of defeat, the Shen family will suffer a catastrophe. ”

Shen Tan was heartbroken, and he had already decided: "If Lu Bu attacks the city, he must die to repay the mediocrity." Otherwise, my two brothers are only like Zhang Lu, giving up their family property, land and population, and going to Chang'an alone to be a poor official, do you want the family to fall? ”

Shen Yi shook her head and remained silent.

"Second brother, you immediately post a document in the cities of Shangyong, organize all the young and strong people, and distribute weapons in case of emergency. At the same time, deploy troops on both sides of the Han River, as long as Lu Bu's army has the slightest reckless move, be ready to resist to the death! ”

"Okay." Shen Yi was ordered to leave.

Shen Tan clutched the edge of the table with his palms, this was a big gamble without confidence, and launching a national resistance was like a shuttle that went bankrupt. There are many soldiers and few generals, but the road is blocked by heavy snow, and Shen Tan still has nine layers of confidence to keep Shangyong from losing. Take 10,000 steps back, how brave Lu Bu's army is to fight in a different place, it is impossible to capture Shangyong in a short time, it is really not possible, Shen Tan can also choose to surrender to Cao Cao and ask Cao Cao to lead troops to come to the rescue.

Shangyong's battle clouds were dense, and when Lu Bu's vanguard defeated Wei Xing, there were no soldiers and horses to attack Shangyong. Shen Tan was suddenly a little unsure of Lu Bu's specific intentions, could it be that Lu Bu really just wanted to borrow the Tao?

When Lu Bu's army arrived in Weixing, of course, it was waiting for the logistics troops to deliver grain and grass, mainly to spend time building a ladder.

Shen Yi's 30,000-strong army was stationed on the east bank of the Han River for seven days before part of Lü Bu's army arrived. A Chang'an envoy once again visited the Shenyi camp with courtesy to ask for customs clearance documents.

"Lu Bu is so courteous, does he really have other thoughts?"

General He Feng came out of the ranks: "If this is the case, this is a miracle from heaven and a general." Since Lu Bu was defenseless against our army, why didn't our army think of it as a snake and set up an ambush on his road to annihilate it in one fell swoop. ”

"No." Shen Yi waved his hand and said: "If you annoy Lu Bu because of this, Chang'an will come to attack, how can you retreat?" ”

He Feng sneered: "Lu Bu, the person the general is afraid of, as long as Lu Bu dies, Chang'an will fall apart." Why be afraid? As long as you find out where Lu Bu's Chinese army is, let go of the vanguard, and take Lu Bu directly, you will definitely be able to destroy it in one go. ”

"Let me think about it. Then let part of Lu Bu's army clear the customs first, send more scouts along the way, and be sure to find out where Lu Bu's army is. ”

The cold wind was cold, rolling up the dead branches and leaves in the sky, Shen Yi led the generals to wait very impatiently, and still did not see the arrival of the agreed Lu Bu army.
