"Okay, the second brother's words are reasonable, while Zhao Yun has not fully gained Zhang Lu's trust, let's take the initiative to attack and catch Zhang Lu off guard", Liu Xun said in a deep voice, "Pass the order, and the army will set off on the same day and go to Jiameng Pass." ”

"Summoned Yan Yan, immediately ordered the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, left the deputy general to guard the city, and went to Jiameng Pass to break Zhang Lu together."

Liu Xun ordered all the soldiers and horses, and there were 60,000 people, and they went to Jiameng Pass.

Liu Xunqin led 10,000 cavalry, together with Xu Huang, and rushed to Jiameng Pass first.

Zhang Ren led the army and then drove out, with dazzling swords and guns all the way, and bright armor.

The vanguard troops arrived at Jiameng Pass, and Yang Huai and Gao Pei entered the city and informed Liu Xun of the situation of Zhang Lu's army.

"To break through Hanzhong, first of all, we must break through Yangping Pass, this pass is high and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is an open area between Yangping Pass and Jiameng Pass, it is very wide, both sides use troops, it is a necessary place", Yang Huai said.

"Outside Jiameng Pass, there is a place where it is easy to ambush," Liu Xun asked.

"Not far away, there is a mountain, named Fengming, the mountain is high and dense, suitable for ambushing soldiers and horses", Gao Pei said.

"Who is currently stationed at Yangping Pass?" Liu Xun asked.

"The Yangping guard general is named Yang Ang, and the deputy general is named Wang Ping, both of whom are famous brave generals in Zhang Lu's army," Yang Huai said.

"Yangping Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if we attack rashly, it is difficult to capture it in a hurry, Zhang Lu will send Zhao Yun to lead his troops to rescue, and then it is inevitable that the enemy will be attacked on the back of the abdomen, so we have to think of a foolproof strategy", Xu Huang said.

"Our cavalry is suitable for fighting in the open area and is used to attack the pass, and its role is greatly reduced, so we have to find a way to lead Zhang Lu's army down the mountain," Yang Huai said.

"What can you do?" Liu Xundao.

"The meaning of the last general is to send a general to the front of Yangping Pass to scold the battle, and lead Yang Ang and Wang Ping to fight. When the other party went to war, he fled in defeat, and the lord ambushed his men and horses in Fengming Mountain in advance, and then the ambush soldiers came out to cut off his way back", Yang Huai offered a strategy.

"Good plan, tomorrow Xu Huang will go to the front of the pass to fight, Xu defeat is not allowed to win, Yang Huai took people to Fengming Mountain to ambush, I led the cavalry to rush out from Jiameng Pass, and when Yang Ang came, immediately three soldiers and horses came out", Liu Xun began to deploy soldiers and horses.

The next day, Xu Huang led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Yangping Pass, and the sergeants guarding the pass had already reported to Yang Ang and Wang Ping.

Yang Ang and Wang Ping immediately climbed the city tower to watch.

"Yang Ang Xiao'er, when I see my Yizhou army coming to attack, I still don't surrender, this general will spare you from death", Xu Huang shouted.

The prancing horse raised his axe, pointed at the closure and cursed.

"Who dares to come to my realm", Yang Ang pointed at Xu Huang and said.

"I am Liu Yizhou's general, Xu Huang is also, Yang Ang, if you don't surrender yet, when will you wait?" Xu Huang said.

"Nameless junior, I'm here to meet you," Yang Ang shouted.

Xu Huang's reputation was not obvious at this time, but Yang Ang was a well-known general in Zhang Lu's army, where could he stand this kind of.

"The general is angry, the lord told us to guard Yangping Pass, and he didn't call out to attack the enemy, don't fall for the trick of luring the enemy", Wang Ping saw this and hurriedly persuaded.

"For the sake of today's plan, it is better to send a messenger to ask the lord for help," Wang Ping further said.

"Okay, it's up to you", Yang Ang immediately sent a messenger to ask Zhang Lu for help.

Yang Ang's anger calmed down, and he let Xu Huang call for a battle at the moment, and Si Hao ignored it.

Xu Huang ignored the closure when he saw it, so he simply asked the soldiers to dismount, take off their armor, expose their breasts, and scolded Yang Ang, and the scolding became more and more unpleasant.

"The thief deceives people too much, it is tolerable, which is unbearable", Yang Ang couldn't help it, and saw that there were at least 3,000 cavalry in Xu Huang's army, and those horses neighed loudly, and they turned out to be good horses in the Western Regions, and he had the idea of taking the horse in Xiaguan.

"The general is patient, don't fall for the enemy's tricks," Wang Ping persuaded bitterly.

"You take 20,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, and I will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to kill the enemy," Yang Ang ordered.

Wang Ping still wanted to persuade again, but Yang Ang glared, "Wang Ping, this is a military order, I am the chief general, you are just a deputy general, obey the order." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Ping knew that it would be irretrievable.

Lowering the drawbridge and making a thick-backed machete, Yang Ang rushed out first, followed by an army of 10,000.

Some of Xu Huang's troops didn't have time to get on their horses, so they became the swords of Yang Ang's army.

Xu Huang hurriedly shouted: "Get on the horse", followed the horse and axe, and came to fight Yang Ang.

Yang Ang danced the thick-backed machete and fought with Xu Huang, and Yang Ang's army behind him swarmed up, where could the Shu army resist the enemy.

Xu Huang commanded the army, fought and left, and retreated to the place where Yang Huai ambushed the army, and the army had lost one-third.

"Kill", Yang Huai shouted, and immediately the drum beat loudly, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Xu Huang returned to the army, turned back to intercept Yang Ang to fight, Liu Xun opened the Jiameng Pass in time, and the cavalry rushed Yang Ang's army.

At this time, the three roads surrounded Yang Ang and fought all the way, and Yang Ang's army and horses were defeated.

With a false knife, he returned to the horse and wanted to leave, Xu Huang waved the axe to separate the big knife, lightly stretched the ape arm, and captured Yang Angsheng.

Of Yang Ang's 10,000 troops, one-third were killed, and the rest laid down their arms and surrendered on their knees.

In this battle, Liu Xun won a complete victory, killing more than 3,000 enemies, winning 4,000 horses, capturing more than 6,000 people, and seizing a number of weapons.

After these captives were dispersed, they were reorganized into the Shu army, and the number of the Shu army was further expanded.

"Yang Ang, what do you have to say, do you want to surrender", the knife and axe hand pushed Yang Ang, who was tied up with five flowers, in front of Liu Xun, Liu Xun asked.

"In the next vow, please spare my life," Yang Ang said.

"Okay, loosen the ties to General Yang and give wine to suppress the shock", Liu Xundao.

"General Xie, the general of Yang Ang's defeated army, he is terrified", Yang Ang said with thanks.

Not long after, the spies came to report, "Zhang Lu sent Zhao Yun to lead an army of 50,000 to rescue Yangping Pass, and it will arrive tomorrow night at the latest." ”

"How is this good?" Liu Xun rubbed his hands and said.

"The last general will be graced by the lord not to kill, and under the command of the new lord, he has not yet built the size of the work. The last general is willing to enter Yangping Pass and persuade Wang Ping to come and surrender," Yang Ang said.

"Okay, General Yang, please drink this cup, I wish you success."

"Lord, Yang Ang will probably not come back when he goes, why didn't the lord send troops to follow", Xu Huang asked.

"Don't worry, if Yang Ang can persuade Wang Ping to surrender, it's best. If he dares to make a ghost, it is also expected by me", Liu Xun said with a smile.

At that moment, Liu Xun said his plan like this, and the generals listened to it and applauded.

Back at Yangping Pass, Yang Ang did not say that he was put back, but said that he took advantage of the unpreparedness of others, stole horses and weapons, and escaped.

At that moment, Wang Ping asked: "Now that the enemy is strong, how can we be good?" ”

Yang Ang said: "Okay, I'm in the enemy camp, and I heard a news that about tomorrow night, Zhao Yun's reinforcements will arrive." Now as long as we can't hold out, as soon as Zhao Yun's reinforcements arrive, we will immediately open the city and attack inside and outside. ”

Not long after Yang Ang was released into the city, Yang Ang was not seen to open the city and surrender for a long time, Liu Xun immediately ordered the three armies to surround Yangping Pass and attack day and night.

Yang Ang and Wang Ping couldn't hold out, waiting for reinforcements to arrive. No one noticed that at night, taking advantage of the cover of night, a large army quietly bypassed Yangping Pass and headed towards Hanzhong.

The repeated attacks made Yang Ang and Wang Ping physically and mentally exhausted.

Late at night the next day, the sound of sudden killing outside the city shook the sky, Yang Ang and Wang Ping climbed the city tower, and looked from afar, a large army arrived, as the first general, riding a white horse, making a rotten silver spear, in Liu Xun's army back and forth conflict, such as entering a no-man's land.

A big "Zhao" character fluttered in the wind, and the general was killed to the edge of the city, shouting, "The lord sent Zhao Yun to the rescue, and asked General Yang Ang to open the city gate." ”

Yang Ang was about to order the city gate to be opened, but Wang Ping was careful and reminded: "Slow down, beware of fraud." ”

Wang Ping said loudly: "I can't see clearly at night, General Zhao forgive me, first set up camp outside the city, and after dawn, we will open the city gate." ”

"If you don't open the city gates, you miss the lord's big business, can you afford it?" Zhao Yun shouted.

While talking, a group of people and horses were killed, and it was Gao Pei, who was killed with a gun.

Zhao Yun didn't say anything, raised his gun to greet him, fought less than three times, grabbed Gao Peisheng, and shouted: "Tie up." ”

Then he led the army to turn around and rush into Liu Xun's army, clashing back and forth, as if entering a no-man's land.

"I have long heard that Zhao Yun is an enemy of 10,000 people, so it seems that this person is Zhao Yun, most of them are true."

Yang Ang suddenly said: "Brother Wang, please look, there are a lot of white horses." ”

Wang Ping fixed his eyes and saw that behind Zhao Yun, there were all white horses, and he was afraid that there were as many as 5,000 horses.

Zhao Yun's army is the remnant of Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Chan likes to ride white horses, known as the "White Horse General", and most of the horses under his command are white horses, which everyone knows.

Wang Ping believed that the person who came was Zhao Yun, so he opened the city gate at the moment and led the army to rush out, preparing to attack the Shu army with Zhao Yun.

As soon as he got out of the city gate, a general on the side of the drawbridge led the army to rush, and the general Xuanhua axe slashed straight at Wang Ping.

Caught off guard, Wang Ping was cut off by an axe.

After Xu Huang beheaded Wang Ping, he led the army to rush onto the suspension bridge, and Zhang Lujun in the city did not have time to pull up the suspension bridge, and was led by Xu Huang into the city.

Yang Ang saw that the general trend had gone, he didn't dare to return to the city, fled in the wilderness, and didn't dare to go back to Hanzhong, so he went straight to Xiliang Ma Teng.

The defenders in the city were leaderless, a few who resisted were killed, most of the people surrendered immediately, counted the number of people, this siege only broke more than 1,000 people, but captured more than 10,000 enemies, Liu Xun was overjoyed.

It turned out that Liu Xun saw that Yangping Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he had a plan and pretended to let his own soldiers come to report that Zhao Yun came to save Yangping Pass. deliberately let Yang Ang hear it, and then let him go back.

The Zhao Yun who rode the white horse was actually Liu Xun called the army

The generals pretended, and at the same time deliberately let Gao Pei pretend to be captured by "Zhao Yun", and also let "Zhao Yun" clash back and forth in the army.

There are also those white horses, all of which were deliberately selected by Liu Xun. Just got 3,000 horses from Zhuo Sijun, plus the original cavalry, the horses of the Shu army have reached tens of thousands.

The cavalry led by "Zhao Yun", as far as Yang Ang and Wang Ping could see, were all white horses, naturally in order to confuse the two Yangping guards.

Wang Ping and Yang Ang never expected that in less than a year, the Shu army would have such a large number of cavalry, so they were fooled.

Liu Xun entered the city, rested for a day, sent scouts from afar, and ordered the reinforcements found in Hanzhong to immediately fly pigeons and send a message to report.

This is where Liu Xun is shrewd, no matter how fast the horse runs, there is no carrier pigeon that flies fast. Grasping the enemy's movements at the first time often wins the first opportunity.

On this day, Zhang Ren led a large army to meet him, and Liu Xun placed his army far outside the city.

Not long after, he received Yan Yan's flying pigeon message, Yan Yan led the troops and horses of the headquarters, and it was only half a day's journey from Jiameng Pass.

On the same day, the scout flying pigeon passed the book, Zhang Lu sent Zhao Yun to lead an army of 50,000, and the vanguard was about to arrive at Yangping Pass.
