Seeing the surprise attack of the Zhao army, some people surrendered, and they also evacuated directly. This situation made the general of the Shu army at a loss.

Originally, the commander of the Shu army thought that these soldiers were the Zhao soldiers sent by the Zhao army to contact Jiang Poyun and prepare to 'insert' under Jiang Poyun's command to plan Jiang Poyun's actions, but after inquiry, he learned that these soldiers were the Shu soldiers who were stationed in Nanzheng County in the past, and after Nanzheng County was attacked by the Zhao army, these soldiers had surrendered to the Zhao army.

And this time, they were coerced by the Zhao army to attack the Shu army, because they knew that the main commander of this road would be Jiang Poyun, the general of the defeated army in the past. Prepare for a surprise attack and want to win the battle. And these soldiers didn't have a good impression of Jiang Poyun, so this time, together with Zhao Jun, they attacked with power at the beginning. But soon after, it was seen that the commander of the Shu army was not Jiang Poyun, but someone else, and these soldiers surrendered directly on the battlefield.

"What's going on?" Seeing that his subordinates had lost more than 1,000 people, but the goal he wanted had not yet been achieved, the commander of the Shu army was indignant. Because there are more prisoners, and because this is not the same as the goal I want. Therefore, the commander of the Shu army had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

However, Jiang Poyun, who had an 'exchange' with Zhao Jun, understood that Zhao Jun's action must have been deliberate. Moreover, Zhao Jun had already guessed what was wrong with him Jiang Poyun here, so he deliberately did so to clear his Jiang Poyun's problems. Of course, Jiang Poyun would not point out these situations, and now that he is suspected by the above, he has become an abandoned son who can be abandoned at any time, so he naturally will not say a word at this time. At this moment, he looked at the main general under his banner, and a faint mockery appeared on his face. Of course, it was because he had a connection with Zhao Jun, but being arranged like this was equivalent to being sent to a dead end, and at this moment, Jiang Poyun's loyalty to the Shu army and the king of Shu had fallen to a low point.

Although Jiang Poyun did not immediately turn his back on the Shu army and join the Zhao army at this moment, Jiang Poyun was no longer the Jiang Poyun of the past, and at this moment, he had no regrets about his contact with Zhao Jun in the past, and he had no other thoughts. Now all he thinks about is how to protect himself and how to clear his suspicions. As for the Shu army, let him go to hell.

"What? You've been attacked? also brought back the Nanzheng County soldiers who were captured by the Zhao army in the past? Huo Yun was stunned for a moment when he saw the army that had just set off and returned, and then heard the return of the main general and the secret guard arranged by him.

After repeated inquiries, Huo Yun learned from the secret guard that Zhao Jun's actions this time were indeed not any connection between Jiang Poyun and Zhao Jun, but Zhao Jun's deliberate attack. As for why Zhao Jun would let the pawns participate in this raid, after all, it is simply unreasonable to let the pawns fight, especially this kind of raid battle. However, the news learned from the mouths of those soldiers made Huo Yun's face extremely ugly.

The reason why the Zhao army let them fight was because they were all soldiers from Yizhou, and they all had families and were unwilling to stay in Hanzhong. And Zhao Jun is also very jealous of them, in addition, Zhao Jun's food and grass materials are in short supply, and he is unwilling to raise so many soldiers who can't return to their hearts. Therefore, Zhao Jun summoned them and promised to let them leave after this battle. This is also the reason why these soldiers began to surrender after the battle of the raid entered a stalemate.

"Damn!" Huo Yun scolded with a gloomy face. He understood now that their actions had already been discovered by the Zhao army, and the Zhao army's move not only got rid of these pawns, reduced the logistical pressure of the Zhao army, but also allowed them to carry out an attack on the Shu army. Because they are Shu soldiers, they still have their hearts set on Shu, so Huo Yun can't punish them at this moment. This made Huo Yun feel that his actions this time were completely in the other party's plan, and he was like a clown, thankless.

"What's going on with this Jiang Poyun? Doesn't it have anything to do with Zhao Jun? Is Zhao Jun's operation really just to reduce their logistical pressure? "Huo Yun is also beginning to be 'confused' and 'confused' at this moment. Judging from the situation in front of him, Jiang Poyun really has no connection with Zhao Jun. Before Zhao Jun's operation, Jiang Poyun had not had any contact with Zhao Jun. Jiang Poyun has been in the barracks for a period of time, and the guards and secret guards around him have been paying attention to him at all times, and no outsiders have approached him at all. However, this time the Zhao army attacked, why did not they go all out to raid this army, but released thousands of former soldiers? Could it be because Zhao Jun wants these captives to bring us something?

Huo Yun, who couldn't make up his mind, was also a little dumbfounded at the moment. As a last resort, the information from this place can only be transmitted to the rear. The army of Shu continued to stalemate with the Zhao army.

Seeing that Jiang Poyun failed to succeed in the strong attack, Huo Yun had no choice but to let Xu Zizhen stop the strong attack and prepare to act according to another goal. At the time of the initial battle, Lin Shiwen had a 'handover' generation, and this time the Shu army attacked, the Zhao army must be based on the city. If the attack cannot be carried out for a long time, then, stop the attack and reduce unnecessary casualties. In addition, arranging manpower to enter the territory of Hanzhong, taking advantage of the fact that the Zhao army was busy guarding the border city, it encouraged those powerful clans in Hanzhong who were oppressed by the Zhao State to act in the rear of the Zhao army. Of course, what he didn't know at this moment was that the Zhao army had already taken precautions against this, and scattered tens of thousands of soldiers all over Hanzhong to form temporary local government soldiers and county soldiers.

At the same time that the Shu army and the Zhao army were in a stalemate with Hanzhong and the northeast of Yizhou, He Qingzhang, the defender of Yangping Pass, also received news that the Zhao army in the south of Liangzhou in the north had moved.

Getting this news, He Qingzhang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Of course, he didn't relax because of Zhao Jun's attack, he wasn't Zhao Jun's internal response. He relaxed that the Zhao army, which was attacking north, finally made a move. You know, many times, the enemy who doesn't move is the most terrifying and the most difficult to deal with. Because, if the enemy does not move, there will be no flaws, and it will not be clear what the enemy's purpose is, and it will not know what the enemy wants to do. But if the enemy acts, even if they are defeated, it also lets them know what the other side wants to do and what the goal is, so that they can make arrangements and preparations accordingly.

He Qingzhang had long expected that when the southern army counterattacked, the Zhao army in the north would definitely not be able to sit still. Regarding the situation of Zhao Jun in Hanzhong, He Qingzhang also knew about Technetium, and he personally sat in Yangpingguan in order to intercept the appearance of foreign aid in Hanzhong. If the Zhao army in the north did not act, they were the most worried, after all, he didn't know when the Zhao army in the north would appear and whether it would ruin the king's arrangement.

Finally, it didn't take long for He Qingzhang to receive news from the scouts, and several Zhao army spies appeared outside Yangping Pass, probing back and forth. However, He Qingzhang didn't care. Of course, He Qingzhang also sent scouts to compete with Zhao Jun's scouts. However, He Qingzhang didn't worry about anything, he was extremely confident in the Yangping Pass he was guarding, and he was not afraid of the Zhao army's attack at all.

After a few days of scouting and melee battles, He Qingzhang finally got the news that an 'elite' army of more than 3,000 men and horses of the northern Zhao army bypassed Yangping Pass, crossed the mountains and mountains, and prepared to attack Baima to cut off his connection with the south.

Seeing this situation, He Qingzhang couldn't help it anymore. Baimashu is located in the south of Yangping Pass, which is the passage between Yangping Pass and Hanzhong, and here, it also reserves the grain, grass and various supplies transported from Yizhou in the south. Therefore, He Qingzhang couldn't watch Zhao Jun attack here. Therefore, He Qingzhang immediately sent 3,000 soldiers to support Baimashu. For him, the White Horse Fortress could be lost, but the materials hoarded here could not be lost, nor could the passage to the south. Otherwise, even if he guards Yangping Pass, then it will not be of much significance to the Shu army. When the back road is cut off and the grain and grass materials are lost, even if the Yangping Pass is steep, He Qingzhang does not dare to guarantee that this place will not be taken by Zhao Jun.

Although more than 3,000 soldiers were assigned to support the White Horse Guard, assisting the White Horse Guard to defend the place. However, He Qingzhang was not worried about the situation here in Yangpingguan. At this moment, he still has more than 6,000 people in his hands, plus the danger of the city, without tens of thousands of troops, he can't take the city he is guarding at all.

Yangping Pass, General's Mansion. Since discovering the actions of the Zhao army in the north, He Qingzhang has relaxed a lot. The heavy face 'color' of the past has disappeared now, and the generals under his command have also relaxed a lot. The lieutenants and junior officials who came and went to the General's Mansion also had a slight smile on their faces, after all, no one likes to see their bosses with a cold face.

"General, this time, the actions of the Zhao army in the north have been expected by us, and even if there are more troops, we can keep them out. The next depends on the situation in Hanzhong, and I don't know if we can win this battle. In the General's Mansion, several lieutenants and He Qingzhang also began to talk about the battle situation in Hanzhong after dealing with limited matters.

Hearing such an inquiry, He Qingzhang's face sank, and he said: "Although the Zhao army in Hanzhong has pressure from all sides, their strength is always stronger than ours. Moreover, our army was defeated by the Zhao army in a surprise attack before, and it has not yet recovered, and now it is fighting again, and the situation may not be very good. ”

Seeing that the general's face became heavy, He Qingzhang said with a smile: "Of course, even so, but the logistics problems of the Zhao army will always affect their strength, so as long as our army's actions are not too aggressive this time, there will be no defeat, and at most it will be in vain." He Qingzhang is also aware of the affairs of discussing politics in Chengdu Mansion, and he also understands that in this war, many important ministers of Shu are not optimistic. The same is true of him, of course, this is not optimistic about the possibility of not succeeding. Although there will be no fiasco, the army will go out on the expedition and consume countless grains and grass materials, but there will be no gains, which is already a failure.

When the Yangping guard was talking about the battle situation in Hanzhong, outside the 'gate', the soldiers who hurriedly entered interrupted their good interest.

"General Qiyu, something is wrong! The scouts had just reported that the Zhao army had suddenly moved west to the north, 'pressing' us here, and had captured Dingjun Mountain on our east side an hour earlier! The soldier reported quickly.

"The walled city in Dingjun Mountain has been lost?" Just now, I told my generals that the Zhao army in Hanzhong would defend the southern part of Hanzhong like a turtle, but I didn't expect the Zhao army in Hanzhong to start acting.

"The Zhao army has mobilized troops and horses, why has no one reported to us? Didn't it mean that in the territory of Hanzhong, we have someone from the 'gate' who is responsible for the intelligence of the Zhao army? Aren't they monitoring the movement of Zhao's army? Why did the Zhao army come here from the east or the south, but we didn't get any news? He Qingzhang suddenly roared like an angry lion.

However, for the inquiry, where can the soldiers who reported the situation know, they can only respond in silence.

After roaring, He Qingzhang suddenly woke up, but he was afraid that no one here would be able to give him an answer, so he had a calm face and asked in a deep voice: "How many people are there in the Zhao army who took the Dingjun Mountain Walled City?" Didn't General Ben arrange a thousand soldiers somewhere? Occupying the geographical advantage, how could Zhao Jun give more walled cities? ”

"General Hui, according to the report of the soldiers who fled back, the Zhao army approached the walled city under the banner of our army and broke through by surprise. The Zhao army that raided the Dingjun mountain walled city had more than 3,000 people. At this moment, they were fortifying the city, and it seemed that they were going to defend it in place. ”

"Not good!" He Qingzhang's face sank, "Damn, they are waiting for reinforcements to arrive, this Dingjun Mountain is too close to us, and the east of Yangping Pass is far from the other two sides. If the Zhao army attacks, my Yangping Pass is in danger! ”

As soon as he heard about Zhao Jun's movements, He Qingzhang's face turned blue. It was because of this Dingjun Mountain that he would build a walled city here and arrange for soldiers to defend it. Unexpectedly, the defenders there were raided and broken by the Zhao army in such a simple way. Of course, he was also to blame for his carelessness, if he sent scouts to investigate the situation in the eastern region, how could the Zhao army take this place. Because he didn't expect that the Zhao army in Hanzhong would send a team of men and horses to raid, nor did he expect that the Shu army's meticulous work in Hanzhong had no intelligence on the mobilization of troops and horses by the Zhao army. Of course, he didn't know that this Zhao army was not 'pumped' from the central and southern parts of Hanzhong, but from Baocheng, which was not far from its south, and it was still day and night, and went straight here by surprise.

Annoyed, He Qingzhang couldn't care about anything else, and immediately shouted angrily: "What a Hanzhong Zhao army, they are in danger now, and they dare to raid us here, it's just too deceitful!" Someone came, passed on the general's order, quickly ordered 4,000 soldiers and horses, and the general was going to personally destroy the Zhao army that raided the Dingjun mountain walled city! Let Zhao Jun know that we are a dead end here, and if you want to go through here, don't even think about it. Hum...... Do you really think we're weaker here than in the south? ”

At the moment, He Qingzhang did not discuss with the generals and made a deployment, leaving the deputy general to stay at Yangping Pass, because there were scouts in the west to investigate the situation of the Zhao army in the north, and he was leading the army to attack, so more than 2,500 people were left in the pass, which was enough to ensure that the city was not lost.

He Qingzhang, who led the army to the front line of Dingjun Mountain, detected that the Zhao army was directly in the walled city of the Dingjun Mountain Pass, and stood on the spot, as if he was waiting for the Zhao army in Hanzhong to come to help. He Qingzhang immediately set up a camp opposite the Zhao army, blocking the route of the Zhao army's march on the east and west sides, so as to form a confrontation situation, firmly staring at the Zhao army on Dingjun Mountain, and preparing to take action after resting.

In the camp of the Zhao army, there were scouts who sent the information to Zhao Kang at the first time.

"Haha...... Everything was as expected by the Metropolitan Governor, and the guards of Yangping Pass really divided their troops, so that there were only more than 2,000 defenders in the city. However, what I didn't expect was that He Qingzhang, the guard of Yangping, was also attracted out. It seems that it is much more difficult to do something to him and attract him firmly here. "The Zhao army needs the Yangping guards to divide their troops, and the Shu army will be contained here, so as to facilitate the Zhao army to attack the fortifications. If the Shu army on the opposite side saw that the situation was not good and retreated, the situation would not be good.

However, what Zhao Kang didn't expect was that He Qingzhang on the opposite side thought that the Zhao army here was stationed here in order to wait for the follow-up army to arrive and attack the east side of Yangping Pass together. Therefore, they were more anxious to fight than Zhao Jun.

Therefore, after the Shu army rested for half a day, before the Zhao army began to act, the Shu army had already taken the lead in attacking.

"What's going on? They take the lead? Is it because they are afraid that we will tackle the problem? No, if their forces are lost too much here, how can they defend the city? Zhao Kang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the actions of the Shu army. However, this does not affect what it will do next.

The Shu army began to move, and the offensive was fierce, which was naturally what Zhao Kang wanted to see. Therefore, Zhao Kang was not ambiguous, and immediately ordered the army to counterattack. Because the Zhao army occupies this simple walled city, the Zhao army can also be regarded as a defender. However, in order to attract the Shu army here, so that they would not flee without being defeated, the counterattack of the Zhao army was not strong, and even, the Shu army could still occupy a certain upper hand. However, it is not possible to enter the walled city.

"It seems that the Zhao army in Hanzhong has been affected by logistical problems and the current situation. Since there is no turning point in the south, General Ben will make a contribution here and annihilate this group of Zhao troops. also let Zhao Jun know that my Shu army is not so easy to mess with. He Qingzhang looked at the situation in front of him and couldn't help but feel a burst of secret joy. Defeating Zhao Jun and making a great contribution is also what he wants. For any leading general, meritorious service is their pursuit.

For three consecutive days, the two sides continued to fight, and although the Shu army had the advantage, it was never able to achieve victory. Even He Qingzhang began to get impatient, he was worried about the arrival of reinforcements from Zhao Jun's brigade. He knew very well that although he had an advantage at the moment, if Zhao Jun's reinforcements arrived, his current advantage would be gone.

At this moment, there are more than 3,000 people under He Qingzhang's command, and Zhao Jun is less than his own. Moreover, after three days, the soldiers under his command were also exhausted. If there are reinforcements from the Zhao army to join at this moment, then it doesn't need too much, just the addition of the new force in the past can change the situation and make him lose a lot. If it weren't for the fact that he almost entered the city several times, so that he could see the hope of victory, I am afraid that he would have led his army to retreat.
