Speaking of which, Zhang Lu originally did not have the confidence to be able to repel the Jin soldiers, but the lobbying of one person made Zhang Lu firm his belief and decided to resist Wenyuan's soldiers.

This person is Zhang Song who rushed over from Xichuan!

Perhaps because Liu Bei's pace of seizing Xichuan was much faster than in history, Zhang Song, who should have died in the chaos in Xichuan, was not discovered by Liu Zhang, and luckily escaped the catastrophe, and because he made great contributions to Liu Bei Pingchuan, he was entrusted by Liu Bei to be reused.

This time Wenyuan's army conquered Hanzhong, Liu Bei, who had always regarded Wenyuan as a mortal enemy, was in Xichuan, but his eyes were always concerned about Wenyuan's every move.

Hanzhong, this is a strategic place that Liu Bei has coveted for a long time! It is the only strategic buffer between him and Wen Yuan. However, Liu Bei knew Wenyuan's strength very well and knew that Zhang Lu would never be Wenyuan's opponent, so although he had long coveted Hanzhong, and although he was still in a hostile situation with Zhang Lu, he could not help but let go of his prejudices at this time, and sent Zhang Song to communicate with Zhang Lu, expressing his willingness to send some troops to support Zhang Lu.

It is precisely because of his constant attention to Wenyuan that Liu Bei's actions this time are very timely, and the timing is just right! It happened that Zhang Song came to Hanzhong when Yang Bai's army was defeated, if it was a few days at night, maybe Zhang Lu would have lost his fighting spirit and chose to abandon his weapons and surrender!

Zhang Song's eloquence is naturally undoubted, although Liu Bei's reputation in Zhang Lu's eyes is not very good (Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, Tao Qian, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, barely Cao Cao, almost every force that Liu Bei has taken refuge in has now disappeared, especially Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, the foundation of these two people is still taken away by Liu Bei) But at the moment of the great enemy, he has no other way! was so casually fooled by Zhang Song's three-inch tongue, so Zhang Lu agreed to resolutely resist and waited for the reinforcements sent by Liu Bei.

Don't wonder why Zhang Lu trusted Zhang Song so easily, not to mention that Liu Bei and Zhang Lu were still in a hostile relationship before. In the face of interests, enemies can also become friends, isn't there a saying that says? There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, aren't they?

And although Liu Bei really wants to get Hanzhong, but once he faces Wen Yuan's competition, his bottom limit is very low, Liu Bei would rather fully support Zhang Lu than see Wen Yuan get Hanzhong, even if he can't get it, he can't let Wen Yuan get it!

With such a basic attitude, Liu Bei's alliance conditions for Zhang Lu were naturally very attractive, and Liu Bei sent someone to buy Yang Song in advance, and under the persuasion of Yang Song and another official with ulterior motives, Zhang Lu finally agreed to form a secret alliance with Liu Bei.

And with this alliance, Liu Bei immediately mobilized the 30,000 elite soldiers who had long been stationed in Jiameng Pass, with Huang Zhong as the main general and Fa Zheng as the supervising army, rushed to Hanzhong in the starry night, and listened to Zhang Lu's call (which can be seen how much concession Liu Bei made in order to keep Zhang Lu) 30,000 elite soldiers, which is also the largest force that Liu Bei can mobilize for the time being. Because he was stumped by the sudden outbreak of hidden dangers in Sichuan, Liu Bei failed to send troops to Hanzhong as soon as possible, but took his soldiers and horses around to calm the chaos and stabilize the situation. However, early detection of hidden dangers is also beneficial, after Zhuge Liang's all-out rectification for more than half a year, the situation in most counties and counties in Xichuan has been basically stable, and only a small part of the rebel areas are still in the encirclement and suppression of the army. Therefore, Liu Bei only transferred 30,000 elites for the time being, and after the spring of next year, I believe that Liu Bei will be able to turn all his energy to Hanzhong.

Having said so much, in fact, it can be summed up in one sentence, with Liu Bei's help, Zhang Lu has the determination to fight with Wenyuan again, and once Zhang Lu survives this winter, it will no longer be easy for Wenyuan to seize Hanzhong from Liu Bei in his free hand in the spring of the next year.

At that point, the situation becomes complex and unpredictable.

…………

Of course, now Wen Yuan doesn't know that Liu Bei has reinforced Zhang Lu, and the two have formed an alliance. In front of him, he only saw the 30,000 recruits in the way of Yang Ren and Yang Ang. The only thing Wen Yuan wants to do now is to pull out the nail in front of him and march into Hanzhong.

Hit, hit hard, and pull out this nail that is blocking the way forward as soon as possible! This is the only order that Wen Yuan gave to his generals.

However, Yang Ren and Yang Ang are obviously much smarter than the previous Yang Bai, and they can still win for a while against the two fierce generals Xu Huang and Tai Shici, as well as the elite soldiers carefully selected by them!

It turned out that Yang Ren and Yang Ang had personally felt the strength of the Jin army when they were guarding Yangping Pass, and they knew that these recruits under their command might not be able to win even if they fought five or one! And once you lose head-to-head, it is likely to be out of control!

Therefore, Yang Ren did not dare to let his subordinates fight Tai Shici and Xu Huang head-on, but let Yang Ang divide half of his troops to feign a battle but retreat at the touch of a button, and even pretended to be defeated and lost the camp.

For three days in a row, Yang Ang lost three battles in a row, lost three camps, and retreated hundreds of miles to hide in Canyang City, Tai Shici and Xu Huang also camped under Canyang City, and on this night, Yang Ren, who had been repairing for three days in Canyang, suddenly attacked, and led 15,000 soldiers to Tai Shici and Xu Huang also came to rob the camp!

I can't help but say that the successive victories did make Tai Shici and Xu Huang a little careless, they also thought that Yang Ang was the same as Yang Bai who had met before, they were all opponents like waste wood, and they could only rush to the battle without defense, and finally relied on the quality of the soldiers to block Yang Ren and Yang Ang's all-out onslaught!

Although withstood the offensive of the Hanzhong army, but the vanguard army inevitably suffered heavy losses, a night battle, the other party was unprepared, resulting in more than 4,000 casualties of the Jin army, although at least three times the Hanzhong soldiers were killed, but also let the vanguard have no motivation to continue to advance, and was ordered by Wenyuan to retreat and rest.

In this way, Wen Yuan, who originally planned to surprise the rear of Yangping Pass, could only personally bring 50,000 soldiers and horses to Chuyang, but at this time, Yang Ren and Yang Ang were frightened, and they hid in Weiyang City with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses and did not dare to show their heads.

Can you not scare the pee? With a calculating and unprepared robbery camp, the number of people is still three times that of the other party, and in this advantageous situation, the Hanzhong army can still lose nearly 15,000 soldiers! The difference in the combat strength of the two armies can not be described by just two words?

Originally, Yang Ren and Yang Ang thought that all the elite of the Jin army outside Yangping Pass, but now it seems that they are very wrong, and the soldiers under the King of Jin seem to be of this level! At present, the Han Zhongjun is like a child wrestling with a strong man, how can he win, if it weren't for the fact that Yang Ren and Yang Ang were afraid that their families were in Nanzheng, for fear that the lord would kill their wives and children in anger, I am afraid that as soon as Wen Yuan arrives in Chuyang, these two brothers will open the city to vote.

But no matter what, Yang Ren and Yang Ang delayed Wen Yuan for a few days, and on the third day after Wen Yuan personally came to Weiyang, Liu Bei's reinforcements also arrived here in the starry night!

At this time, Wenyuan's 50,000 troops gathered under the city of Chuyang and confronted Yang Ang's 15,000 soldiers in the city. Less than fifty miles south of this center, there were 30,000 Sichuan soldiers of Huang Zhong and Fa Zheng. Less than 100 miles in the northeast, it is the 20,000 defenders of Zhang Wei of Yangping Pass, before and after the pass, it is more than 100,000 people of the Jin army who have been in a flanking situation, and the front of the pass is led by Yan Liang, and the cavalry of the Chinese army and each legion is concentrated nearly 100,000, and after the pass, it is led by Hao Zhao and Ma Chao, and 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers are separated from Wenyuan this way.

In this narrow area that spans less than 100 miles, the combined strength of the three parties exceeds 300,000 people, and such a density is surprising enough! And whether it is on the front of Chuyang or Yangping Pass, the Jin army has already achieved an overwhelming advantage, as long as there is a breakthrough, it is enough to cause Zhang Lu's entire line to collapse! And judging from the situation, it is obvious that both fronts will not be able to hold on for a long time.
