Zhang Lu's army stationed in Yangping Pass is basically infantry, infantry against cavalry is at a disadvantage, Zhang Wei is only relying on the advantage of numbers, however, he is facing Liu Xin's new cavalry, these cavalry are not only equipped with stirrups, but also use a new style of swords, this kind of saber and the sword in addition to the different styles, there is no difference in the construction process, the same tough and sharp, can easily split the armor, in front of such a powerful cavalry, Zhang Wei's infantry did not have the slightest power to fight back, What's more, most of the infantry under his command didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and how to resist the enemy one by one hungry, the whole battlefield quickly turned into a one-sided slaughter.

Zhang Wei is now crying without tears, it is impossible to continue to reinforce Zhang Lu, how can two legs run more than four legs, the only feasible way is to retreat to Yangping Pass, although the soldiers around him have suffered heavy casualties and are no longer a team, Zhang Wei still gritted his teeth and rushed to Yangping Pass,

Sun Ce made a spear, with the cavalry brigade rushing together, it looked particularly different, and the action of the spear and the rhythm of the cavalry chopping were a little uncoordinated, however, now the Zhang Lu army outside the city has been in a mess, Sun Cesuo surnamed left the cavalry brigade and began to look for his own target, he saw Zhang Wei at a glance, and rushed over,

Seeing this, Zhang Wei's pro-army sacrificed his life to stop him, Sun Ce, who seemed to be doing nothing in the cavalry just now, entered the enemy formation alone and returned to the water like a fish, rushing left and right, as if entering a no-man's land, and in a blink of an eye he arrived in front of Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei saw that the momentum was not right, and he did not dare to fight back to the idea of turning Yangping Pass, so he quickly turned his horse's head and fled.

Where is Sun Ce willing to give up, urging the horse forward, chasing closely, Zhang Biao and Li Sheng led the cavalry to kill under Yangping Pass, and killed the soldiers under Zhang Wei crying for their father and mother, and fled in all directions, only hating Shaosheng with two legs,

Zhang Wei ran all the way, people were sleepy and tired, and the soldiers under him gradually dispersed, Sun Ce peeked at the back, quietly hung up the gun, took the bow and arrows, only listened to the sound of the bowstring, Zhang Wei turned over and fell off the horse, Sun Ce hit the horse forward, regardless of whether he was dead or alive, and shot a few more shots, only then did he take Zhang Wei's head, and the horse turned around,

The battle under Yangping Pass has ended, Zhang Wei brought out of the 25,000 soldiers, most of the casualties in this battle, the remaining more than 5,000 people were disarmed and surrendered, and became prisoners, Zhang Biao and others took the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, only to find that Sun Ce was missing, and was about to send people to look around, when he saw a horse galloping not far away,

Sun Ce picked Zhang Wei's head with the tip of his spear, and shouted under the city: "Listen to the people in the city, your lord is dead, and if you surrender now, you can save your life. ”

The massacre under Yangping Pass just now, the soldiers at the head of the city can see it clearly, they are stationed here all the year round, and they have seen the fierce and brave of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but compared with the cavalry in front of them, it is not half a star, hearing Sun Ce's cruel words under the city, the soldiers at the head of the city began to waver, after all, there are only a few people who are really not afraid of life and death, not to mention that their families are still in Hanzhong, look at this situation, even if Hanzhong is still in the hands of Zhang Lu now, it is only a matter of time before it falls,

But the two captains at the head of the city don't think so, their families are not fake in Hanzhong, in fact, they were taken hostage by Zhang Lu, if Hanzhong was not broken by Liu Xin, and they surrendered, then their families don't have to think about life anymore, seeing that many soldiers around them are ready to move, the two captains waved the horse whip in their hands, and pressed hard, and one soldier was pushed to the city by them, falling to death, seeing this scene, the soldiers on the city finally evolved from the initial scratching into a riot, Everyone fought back, and they actually cut the two captains into pulp,

The gate was immediately opened, Sun Ce entered the city first, the impregnable Yangping Pass was attacked by a cavalry of 5,000 people, if it was said, who would believe it, Sun Ce knew that Liu Xin's goal in this Northern Expedition was Dong Zhuo, whether Yangping Pass could be held was crucial to the development of the battlefield situation in the future, he still didn't dare to trust these surrendered soldiers, and nearly 20,000 soldiers surnamed Suo were all driven out of Yangping Pass, so that they set up camp in the south of Guannan, waiting for Liu Xin to arrive and then send another place, and the army he led all entered the pass, The north and south gates were locked together, and the cavalry abandoned their horses to enter the city, but became foot soldiers defending the city.

Liu Xin arrived at Jianmen Pass on the seventh day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the first month, he took Jiameng Pass without blood, and only one day later, Sun Ce had already stood on the head of Yangping Pass.

At this time, Xu Huang personally led 10,000 horses and horses have also besieged Zhang Lu's regiment in Hanzhong City, because the logistics and transportation can not keep up with the temporary, Xu Huang ordered to make simple siege equipment from local materials, and on the other hand, let people shout under the city, urging Zhang Lu to go out of the city and surrender,

Zhang Lu paced anxiously in the hall, Liu Xin's army came too fast, so fast that he didn't have time to react, he had ambitions, but his ambitions were not big, he didn't expect to fight for any world, he just wanted to be able to be the king of Hanzhong in peace, but, judging from the current situation, such a small wish is obviously difficult to achieve,

Seeing this, the strategist Yan Pu persuaded: "Qi Yu lord, Yan has a word to tell you, Liu Xin's army is coming to the city, and the spirit is flourishing, our army is really difficult to stop its front, if you continue to hold on, there is only one way to die, for today's plan, there are only two ways to go, one is to abandon the city and go to Xiliang to join Dong Zhuo, the other is to open the city gate to welcome Liu Xin into the city, where to go, and ask the lord to make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Lu shook his head and said: "Dong Zhuo is cruel and unkind, filthy palace, if I defect to him, I will be spurned by the world, just surrender to Liu Xin, and I am afraid that I will not be able to see it, that's it, that's it, I will close the treasury tomorrow, hang up the crown and resign, and hide in the countryside." ”

Yan Pu thought for a while and said, "If Liu Xin really refuses to see him, even if the lord hangs the crown and leaves, he will be left alone, and he will be even more fearless, but he will be more easily humiliated, so it is better to descend early." ”

Zhang Lu sighed, silent, the next morning, he ordered the city gate to be opened, personally holding the seal letter of Hanzhong Taishou, kneeling outside the city gate to meet Xu Huang's army, and swore that he was willing to send people to Yangping Pass to recruit Zhang Wei and Yang Ang's people, he did not know that Yangping Pass had been lost, Zhang Wei and Yang Ang were in different places,

Xu Huang didn't know the situation of Yangping Pass, he didn't feel overjoyed after listening to Zhang Lu's words, while asking him to repair the book to spread the message to Yangping Pass and the counties, urging him to surrender early, and on the other hand, he ordered someone to escort Zhang Lu and his family to Jiameng Pass, in fact, without waiting for Zhang Lu's messenger to arrive, the counties had already descended, broken, and when Zhang Lu arrived at Jiameng Pass, it happened that Sun Ce's news had also been delivered, and he knew that Yangping Pass had been conquered by Liu Xin the day before, and his brother Zhang Wei and the general Yang Ang had all died, but Liu Xinnian had taken the initiative to surrender. pardoned the families of Zhang Wei and others, and sent Zhang Lu to Xiangyang to reunite with his mother.

But it was said that Li Ru was sitting at home in Chang'an City, and suddenly saw the housekeeper Li An hurriedly running in, holding a strip of cloth in his hand, and said in a panic: "Master, there is really a pigeon flying back, and this is tied to the leg, please take a look." ”

By chance, Li Ru saw the ability of the servant Li Yang to domesticate pigeons, and heard him say that pigeons can not only fly long distances, but also accurately understand the target, so he had a whim, let Li Yang train pigeons to send letters, of course, Li Ru did not put this matter in his heart, just let Li Yang quietly enter the Jiameng Pass, as soon as there was Liu Xin attacked the news of the Jiameng Pass, the pigeon came back, more than a year passed, Li Ru almost forgot about this, did not expect that there was really news back today,

Seeing the five words "Jiameng Pass has been lost" on the cloth strip, Li Ru's heart "chuckled", and he couldn't help but see the scene of meeting Liu Xin outside Yique Pass, he couldn't help but shudder, Liu Xin captured Jiameng Pass, and then it was easy to occupy the entire Hanzhong, if Liu Xin occupied Hanzhong, he could go north to take Chang'an, and westward expansion threatened Dong Zhuo's foundation Xiliang,

Thinking of this, Li Ru couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly ordered to prepare the car, he was going to the Taishi Mansion to ask Dong Zhuo to discuss countermeasures.

Dong Zhuo is brutal and murderous, and his brain is not stupid, otherwise he would not have been able to get to this point today, after listening to Li Ru's report, Dong Zhuo keenly felt that Liu Xin was not just trying to clean up Zhang Lu this time, his target was likely to be himself and Liu Xie, because Liu Xin had always threatened to get rid of Dong Zhuo and abolish Liu Xie, but Dong Zhuo never took his words seriously.

Lu Bu saw Dong Zhuo's face was worried, and said disapprerovitically: "Don't worry about the father-in-law, since the ancient soldiers came to block it, the water came to cover it, a little Liu Xin is nothing, there is a child, forgive him and he can't step into Chang'an City." ”

On the way here, Li Ru had already thought of a countermeasure, and said with a smile: "Wenhou Xiaoyong, the world is invincible, however, Liu Xin's villain is not removed, how can the Taishi sleep peacefully, although Liu Xin took the Jiameng Pass, Zhang Lu will not be captured, there will be a vicious battle between the two sides, why don't the Taishi send a general, wave the army straight into Hanzhong, and make a profit." ”

Dong Zhuo glanced up at the generals under his command and asked, "Wen You's words are reasonable, which of you is willing to lead the troops to Hanzhong." ”

Lu Bu arched his hand and said, "The child is willing to go." ”

Zuo Zhonglang took Liu Fan out of the class and said: "The hatred of killing my father is not shared, and the last general is willing to fight Liu Xin to the death." ”

Liu Fan is Liu Yan's eldest son, originally served in the imperial court, because Liu Xin captured Chengdu, he was angry and his second brother Liu Dan switched to Dong Zhuo's disciples, and vowed to avenge his father, this ambition is much greater than his two younger brothers, but unfortunately his talent is limited, and it is not reused under Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was really not interested in Liu Fan's initiative to ask for war, but turned his head to look at the other generals, when the Kwantung princes invaded the Tiger Prison Pass, the generals enthusiastically asked for battle, but today except for Lu Bu and Liu Fan, no third person took the initiative to stand up, the people are still those people, but everyone's identity is different now, these generals are each playing their own little Jiujiu, they are now in high positions, enjoying endless glory and wealth, and there are groups of wives and concubines at home, it is the time to be happy and happy, who wants to live a life of licking blood with a knife,

Dong Zhuo's gaze swept over the faces of the generals one by one, and finally stopped on Li Dao,

Li Wei saw that there was no way to avoid it, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "The last general is willing to go." ”
