When Liu Ze led the army to the street pavilion, the battle had already ended for half a day, and Liu Ze first saw Yang Fu who was hanging on the flagpole, his flesh and blood were blurred, and he couldn't help frowning, and asked Guan Hai, who came up, "What's going on?" ”
Guan Hai said a few words, Ma Chao had already rushed to Liu Ze's horse, and arched his hand: "Chao violated military law and killed prisoners of war without permission, please punish the lord according to the law." ”
Liu Ze glanced at Ma Chao, and then at Yang Fu on the flagpole, and had already guessed eight or nine points, and dismounted: "That person is Yang Fu, right?" ”
Ma Chao said: "Exactly, this thief harmed my whole family, destroyed my whole door, and Chao has a grudge against the sky, today is Chao's gain, if Chao can't take revenge, how can he be worthy of the relatives who died under Jiuquan, so he stabbed this thief, Chao knew that he violated military discipline, and he was super willing to be punished." ”
Liu Ze chuckled and said: "The husband has clear grievances, what is wrong with Meng Qi?" On the battlefield, although killing is inevitable, it will not cause harm to his wife, children, women and children, Yang Fu is cruel and tyrannical, and it is his way to die. It's just that killing people is not enough, Meng Qi executed him to take revenge, such a torture and killing, but the demeanor of a general, Meng Qi thinks I am talking about it or not? ”
Ma Chao bowed again in a panic: "Super knows what is wrong." Then he ordered Ma Dai to put Yang Fu down, Yang Fu was already dying, and before he could breathe, Ma Dai cut off his head with a sword, and prepared to take it to the Ma family's grave to worship.
Liu Ze heard that the two veterans of Huang Zhong and Yan Yan had both died, and he couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and after Gao Shun died in Xuzhou, the Jing army once again lost two senior generals. However, what made Liu Ze strange was that the military order was issued to Yan Yan's Ninth Army. Why Huang Zhong appeared in the street pavilion and died in battle with Yan Yan made Liu Ze puzzled.
So Liu Zechuan Zhang Yi came over to ask for details, and Zhang Yi told the whole story as it was, but it turned out that the messenger battalion had passed the wrong news, and passed the military order originally passed to the Ninth Army to Huang Zhong's Eighth Army. Huang Zhong made a special trip to the Ninth Army Corps, and ran to the street pavilion with Yan Yan, a bloody battle, the 25th Division except for the 1,000 crossbowmen led by Zhang Yi, almost the whole army was wiped out, and the two governors fought a bloody battle to the end, outnumbered, and finally martyred.
After Liu Ze listened, he was embarrassed. The death of the two governors in a battle at once was a great loss for the entire army, but Huang Zhong and Yan Yan died so tragically, under the unfavorable situation of one enemy and ten, they were not afraid to sacrifice their lives and forget death, and used their flesh and blood to build a strong Great Wall that would never collapse, blocking Guo Huai's 100,000 troops at the street pavilion crossing. One day and one night were not allowed to advance an inch, creating conditions for the follow-up troops to encircle and annihilate the Wei army. In this sense, the death is deserved, the death is heroic! What an army needs is such a military soul, which cannot be crushed or broken, and is iron-clad. It is precisely with a fierce general like Huang Yan who is not afraid of death that the Jing army has the capital to conquer the world.
In recognition of his merits, Liu Ze posthumously honored Huang Zhong as the martyr marquis and the general Hongyi, and was promoted to the rank of general. Yan Yan was posthumously promoted to the rank of general and buried in Hanzhong. At the same time, all the officers and men of the 25th Division of the Ninth Army who died in battle were honored with first-class meritorious service, and their pensions were paid at double the rate, and their families were exempted from taxes and forced labor for three years.
For Pan Feng's responsibility this time, Liu Ze did not return to protect him, and was fined half a year for demoting his first-class title, and at the same time, other relevant responsible personnel should also be held accountable to the end. Pan Feng was also remorseful, his carelessness caused this immeasurable loss, if it wasn't for his own mistake, at least Huang Zhong would not have appeared in the street pavilion, let alone be killed, as the head of the intelligence agency, the top secret agent, made such a serious mistake, Pan Feng couldn't forgive himself, as for Liu Ze's announcement of his punishment, even he thought it was too light.
Guo Huai and other cadres surrendered troops and generals, and were escorted to Hanzhong, these soldiers are all from the Kanto, their parents are still in the area controlled by Cao Cao, the reorganization of these troops is completely thankless, and it is very easy to cause mutiny in the future, so Liu Ze has no intention of incorporating them, and sent them to Hanzhong to Tuntian.
After the Jieting blockade battle, Liu Ze had firmly controlled the Longxi region, annihilated the 150,000 Longxi Wei army on the spot, and created favorable conditions for the next step in entering Guanzhong.

Cao Hong, the governor of Guanzhong, was shocked, he didn't expect Sima Yi's defeat to come so quickly, a few days ago he also exchanged information with Sima Yi, the situation in Longxi was normal, Liu Ze's troops went out of Qishan and were blocked south of Linwei in Shangqi, Sima Yi's Longxi defense line was effective, and the policy of fortifying the wall and clearing the field made the Jing army anxious, it can be expected that the result of Liu Ze's second exit from Qishan this time will be no different from last year's first exit from Qishan.
But in the past few days, the situation in Longxi has changed abruptly, Sima Yi sneak attacked Hulu Valley and fell into Liu Ze's ambush, and died, Guo Huai was completely annihilated in the street pavilion on the way out, and the 150,000 Longxi army was wiped out in an instant, which made Cao Hong too surprised.
What surprised him even more was that after Liu Ze's victory in Longxi, he had no intention of resting at all, and the 200,000 army rushed straight to Chang'an, taking Cao Hong by surprise. Originally, Cao Hong was very leisurely, and Sima Yi was carrying him in Longxi, and Cao Hong was basically in the position of the reserve army, but the wind and clouds in Longxi suddenly pushed Cao Hong to the top of the storm. In the face of the sudden attack of the Jing army, Cao Hong had to shrink his defense, abandon several cities to the west of Chang'an, and concentrate all his troops in Chang'an to ensure that Chang'an City was not lost.
Chang'an is the former capital of the former Han Dynasty, when Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, Chang'an once became the new capital, although at the time of Li Guo's turmoil, Chang'an City experienced endless catastrophes, many were damaged, but as the capital of the two Han Dynasty, the heritage of Chang'an City is still quite deep, and the tall and majestic city walls are far from being comparable to those county cities and state cities. After Cao Cao took control of Guanzhong, he handed over the defense of the entire Guanzhong to Cao Hong, which shows how much Cao Cao values this place in Guanzhong. Since Cao Hong took office as the governor of Guanzhong, he has also carried out large-scale repairs to Chang'an City, although it has not been restored to the appearance of the heyday of the Western Han Dynasty, but compared to the destruction of Chang'an after Li Guo's rebellion, it is ten times stronger, although Chang'an City is not impregnable, but Cao Hong is quite confident, even if Liu Ze comes with all his strength, there is no one for a year or two, he will never be able to attack the ground.
Although Cao Hong had great confidence in the defense of Chang'an City, he was still a little worried in the face of Liu Ze's 200,000 troops, after all, he only had 100,000 horses in his hands, and if he missed something, he would not live up to Cao Cao's ardent hopes. Therefore, while Cao Hong retreated to Chang'an, he immediately sent people to Xudu to ask Cao Cao for help, asking Cao Cao to increase his troops in Guanzhong.
However, as soon as Cao Hong sent a messenger to Tongguan, he was captured by the Jing army. Even the messenger felt that the Jing army had just left the street pavilion, and it was far away to the west of Chang'an, and Tongguan was in the east of Chang'an, connecting the Guanluo main road, how could the Jing army appear here?
There is no doubt that the captured messenger is indeed the Jing army, and not only the messenger sent by Cao Hong, but even the thousands of Wei soldiers stationed in Tongguan have all been captured by the Jing army.
The dangerous position of Tongguan goes without saying, Cao Cao in order to enter the Guanzhong, in Tongguan and Ma Chao fierce battle for many days, although Cao Cao has many soldiers, but Tongguan is too dangerous, Ma Chao guarded according to the danger, so that Cao Cao had nothing to do, and finally secretly used the trick to take Tongguan. But after entering the main pass, the dangerous position of Tongguan has dropped significantly, the Wei army controls Luoyang in the front, and Chang'an in the rear, Tongguan seems to have become a post station between Guanluo, no longer a military pass, as the Wei army moved the strategic target forward to Longxi, even Chang'an has become a large rear, and Tongguan is even more insignificant.
At this time, Tongguan, only thousands of Wei soldiers guarded here, and the Jing army soldiers came out of the Meridian Valley, like a divine soldier descending from heaven, and easily took Tongguan.
