The blood that was being spilled in Guanzhong, separated by the Qinling Mountains, did not affect Hanzhong County.

In the past two years, Hanzhong County has become increasingly important, located in the Hanzhong Plain between the towering Qinling Mountains, with the change of national policy and the development of the city, the entire Hanzhong Plain is changing with each passing day.

Mianyang, the land of the Han Lord's Longxing, certainly has the convenience of water conservancy, but the tributaries of the big river are naturally not as good as the Han River, one of the main veins of the big river.

The workshops belonging to Shaofu gradually moved north, and with the strategic direction of the Han Empire shifting, Shu will turn into the grain base of the Yan and Han Dynasty, and a large number of workshops will move to Hanzhong.

In fact, the area of Hanzhong is not very suitable as an industrial base, but there are not many regions that Yanhan can choose now, and Guanzhong has not yet got it, and after getting it, the water system in Guanzhong is not as good as Hanzhong.

Hanzhong can also gradually expand to the east, and if Xiangyang County is taken, then the three eastern counties will become the rear.

The mountain road leading to the three eastern counties in Hanzhong, linking Shudi, and leading to Liangzhou has been continuously widened, and the roadbed has been constantly compacted, and it has become a veritable commercial operation center.

In the market near the left of the wharf, the ordinary traders have set up the tent in a staggered manner, and in the market not far away, they play tricks, measure the word divination, make noise all day, and there is a sound of selling, snacks and delicacies from all over the country, amuse the guests to stop and stop.

It would be noon, after the rain and the sky would be clear, and a street near the pier in the northern city would be busy with business in many restaurants.

The war did not spread, and business naturally flourished.

I saw a restaurant, with two shopkeepers at the door of the uninterrupted greeting, and an elegant interior on a three-story building, which was also the time when people came and went.

The aroma of wine and food fills the air.

On the third floor, there is a private seat facing the window.

On the table were a few side dishes and a glass of wine, some of which were prepared with great care, delicious and expensive.

There are only two people at this table, and they are sitting opposite each other at this time, tasting wine and food, it is Tao Ji and Fan Changsheng.

Tao Ji was obviously thinking about things, holding a glass of light drink leisurely, and looking out of the window with a long look.

Fan Changsheng sat opposite, closing his eyes at this time, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Brother Fan, look, it's already here." At this time, Tao Ji, who had been looking out the window, suddenly spoke.

At the same time, as if to respond to his words, there was a commotion outside.

"Another one?" When Fan Changsheng heard this, his hand suddenly paused, put the cup in his hand on the table, turned his head and looked outside.

Due to its excellent location, you can enjoy an unobstructed view of the street just by looking down.

The street where pedestrians came and went, but at this time it had been cleared by a group of soldiers, and the middle of the road was empty, and in a burst of scolding, pedestrians avoided both sides.

Not far away, the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps gradually became louder.

The purpose of re-entry is the soldier who has passed by.

I saw a team of Mo knife soldiers lined up, everyone looked serious, holding the Mo knife on their shoulders, their waists were straight, their eyes were not squinting, they were walking step by step, and they were wearing black plate armor, majestic in the sun, which caused the onlookers to shout softly.

The back team is a group of sword and shield soldiers, who also have straight waists, do not squint, and walk step by step, only listening to the neat footsteps, not chaotic at all.

From the restaurant, a piece of soldiers, every 100 people a tun, each tun has a tun generals, there are general flags, at this time, it seems that the so-called flags are continuous, under the banner, dense generals, there are 100 teams through the city, it can be said that there are more than 10,000 soldiers, boundless.

These are another elite transferred from Shudi, and the Modao soldiers were originally a rare elite in the Han army, so they are naturally extraordinary, connected from end to end, and they can't be seen at a glance.

Obviously, with this majesty, the people are still extremely relieved and proud, and cheer from time to time.

Tao Ji and Fan Changsheng stood on the city tower and looked at it from afar, in the team, there were generals who were supported, rode through the horses, looked for a while, but did not see the general of the unified army, they all knew that this army was the family of the Han family, Zhao, Guan, Zhang three families were the head, Ma, Huang, Fa, Zhuge and other families also contributed.

It's just that I don't know who the commander of the army is, but I can't come out of those people, either Xungui or Zongxuan.

However, looking at the current situation, this is a confidential matter, and it is obviously not easily exposed to everyone, and the two no longer deliberately search.

At this time, there were also many people, at various points, there were also spies from Wei and Wu staring at this rolling army.

Tao Ji looked at the banner carefully, for a long time, and said loudly: "The 100,000 troops of the previous time have been dispatched, and in the past few days, the 30,000 reinforcements of Huo Dudu and Luo Zhijun have also gone north one after another, plus today's 15,000 strong army, it seems that His Majesty's intention to go north is very resolute!" ”

Now the various departments of Shu are unprecedentedly weak, but fortunately, it has passed the busy agricultural season, and almost all the labor has been transferred.

"Brother, if you fail this time, then you will lose a great opportunity to occupy Guanzhong, for Yan Han, it will definitely be a disaster, how can Your Majesty stay strong?" Fan Changsheng continued to take a sip of the cup and said, "I don't know what the outcome will be this time." ”

Tao Ji stroked his beard and said with some concern: "I'm also paying attention, the Wei army raised 200,000 soldiers, although the armor is not as good as my Yanhan, but our front-line soldiers, only 100,000, twice the enemy, I don't know what the situation is." ”

People with insight in this situation understand that they must go through a vicious battle, and there will be many casualties, but as long as they are victorious, this sacrifice is necessary.

The Tao family and the Heavenly Master Dao have all participated in this intelligence collection, just to collect intelligence, as for the strategy and tactics, it is not for them to participate, but they know very well in their hearts that this Tongguan has been lost, so the 200,000 troops of the Wei people have arrived under Chang'an City, and Chang'an City under the command of Zhong Hui may not be able to support it for much time.

They didn't know what the agreement might be reached between Zhong Hui and Lord Han, but compared to the possible growth of Yang Yi's power this time, the two were actually more concerned about the outcome of this decisive battle, which was crucial.

This determines how much effort they have to make, and they can't use their strength to serve Yan Han.

"In terms of numbers, the Wei army is indeed a little more, but the Wei army and the Zhong Hui Department consume each other, and the losses in the long battle are also very large, and the strength of the Yan Han strong army under the command of His Majesty is very strong, perhaps, this time, Yan Han is really hopeful of revival!"

The age of the two of them is actually not much different, and they both remember some of the circumstances when Yanhan Foundation was first established, and at that time, there was also such a momentum as it is now, but it was just a flash in the pan and never seen again.

After that, Yan Han first Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, worked hard to maintain the trend of one-third of the world, and now, Yan Han is expected to prosper in the world.

Tao Ji thought further: "Yes, now it seems that the main fruit of the Yan Han Kingdom is a generation of heroes, only a few years, the iron bucket operated by the Yan Han up and down is like an iron bucket, and swallowed up Liangzhou and the three eastern counties, no matter how you look at it, the foundation is also stable, if this battle is a year later, the result of this battle will not be so worrying."

In this battle, if there is no accident, at most it will be an undefeated situation, and we must warn the Tao family to put away any other thoughts, just one mind to assist her, with this hero, my Tao family may not be able to win the position of prince in the future? "Central Plains Book Bar

Thinking so, Fan Changsheng looked at him with a hesitant expression at this time, and asked, "Is my brother worried about the two sons?" I've seen the luck of the two sons, both have long luck, and the elder brother doesn't have to worry. ”

"Tao Huang Tao Jun's side, I'm reassuring, but it's just ......" Tao Ji sighed faintly at this time.

Fan Changsheng communicated with him for a long time, but he guessed what he meant, and said with a sigh: "The room of the two Tao sons has also been affected, and the elder brother should indeed choose a virtuous lady for the two sons to marry, and the elder brother can ask someone to inquire and see if there is a woman in Shu who is compatible with the two sons." ”

In this era, the family is strong, one is to look at the talent, but to look at the children, if the talent itself is insufficient, then there are many children, so the old people will marry more wives and concubines for their sons as early as possible, have more children and grandchildren, and start to train the next generation early.

The next generation of the Tao family has suffered a lot of losses, the men have been cut down by King Wu, and the women will naturally not be treated well, and it is common for them to be reduced to slaves, so they can only wait for the opportunity to be rescued in the future.

"Your Majesty is already in Chencang!"

The two were talking, when someone hurriedly came up and gave the two of them the news, and when they heard it, they both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

In this pass, of course, there are a few roads, but those roads can pass the division, and the army will attack, and you have to take the road of Dasan Pass to enter Chencang.

Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan is also called Guanzhong, this pass refers to the four passes, these four passes refer to Wuguan, Xiao Pass, Tong Pass, and Dasan Pass, the so-called East Tong Pass, West San Pass, South Wu Pass and North Xiao Pass.

As one of the four passes in the pass, Dasanguan has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and has witnessed too much history, the so-called Jin Ge Iron Horse, the so-called bloody rain and bloody wind, all of which have left too many indelible traces in Dasanguan.

Dasanguan originally belonged to the scattered country of the Zhou Dynasty, so it is called Sanguan, it is the boundary between the west end of the Qinling Mountains and Longshan, it is the trough area of the upper reaches of the Jialing River, and it is the natural passage of the north and south in the west of the Qinling Mountains, and the terrain is very dangerous.

Dasanguan is at the north end of this passage according to the danger stands, Cao Mengde once had a poem: "Morning on Sanguan Mountain, this road should be so difficult!" ”

The deep valley below the pass of the Great Scattered Pass is very steep, there are cliffs on both sides to confront each other, known as the "first line of sky", easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can be called a husband and a man, and ten thousand people are not open.

There is such a saying, called "The north must not be dispersed, and there is no way to map Hanzhong, Ba, and Shu; The south must not be dispersed, and there is no way to close the pass. ”

From the perspective of Shudi, if you don't control Dasanguan, you can't go north to enter Guanzhong. From the perspective of Guanzhong, if you can't go south to Dasanguan, you can't open the gateway to Hanzhong, Ba and Shu in the south, which shows the importance of the location of Dasanguan.

Originally, I thought that this dispersal would become a problem, but unknowingly, it was easily solved, which surprised and delighted Tao Ji and Fan Changsheng.

……

In Meixian County, thick smoke and dust rose from the distant horizon.

Pang Hui, the general of Hulie appointed by Zhonghui, was standing on the high place of the city wall at this time, and when he looked down, he saw a group of cavalry rushing towards Meixian County, these cavalrymen were wearing armor and holding a banner that hunted and flew flying.

When the cavalry arrived outside the city, they inspected for a while, and then they lined up solemnly, and several horsemen returned, and after a while, they saw a piece of red flags constantly gathering, each flag was one, five departments and one battalion, and the battalion flag was even more high.

I saw that the horn kept sounding, and there were constantly battalion guards marching in formation, slowly pressing towards the city, and then concentrating not far away, and several battalion flags were already erected.

With such a majesty, Pang Hui couldn't help but change color, and he could hear the heavy panting of the generals beside him.

The army stopped at about 300 meters away from the county seat, at this time, the square array was already dense, barely counting, and knew that it was definitely more than 10,000 people, boundless, but no one knew how many people there were, and there were many boats echoing the momentum on the Weishui not far away.

The most conspicuous nature under the city is the banner of the Han Emperor, which is particularly attractive.

From the top of the city, under the banner, there are dense elite soldiers dressed in various colors of armor, and the shining blades shine dazzlingly in the sunlight.

Tens of thousands of troops, even if Pang Hui stands at the highest point in this Mei County at this time, he can't see where the tail is.

Pang Hui stood on the city tower and looked out, and when he saw the huge banner of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, he knew that it was Liu Yi, the son of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, who personally led the troops to recruit in person.

At this time, in front of Yang Yi, all the generals stood solemnly, all on the left and right.

Behind these people, there are dense elite guards.

The generals stared at the county seat together, carefully looking at the banner above.

After a long time, Yang Yi said loudly: "Where is Zhong Yuan?" ”

At this time, Zhong Yuan could only helplessly come out of the queue and said: "General, the foreign minister is here." ”

"Since Zhong Shiji has asked me to come to the rescue, this county should be regarded as mine's own, you quickly go to persuade me with a letter, and come out immediately to pay respects, otherwise, after a stick of incense, I will order the army to attack."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the foreign minister will go." Under this kind of majesty, Zhong Yuan was panicked, so he could only listen to the order, and after a while, he shouted in front of the city.

"General Pang, is it war or peace now?" At this time, Fufeng County Shoutian continued to ask Pang Hui in a low voice, but Pang Hui snorted coldly, it is impossible how loyal he is, otherwise he would not have voted for the Cao family, then the Sima family, and then the Zhong family.

And in this city, it is not up to him to make all the decisions, his position as a general is not big, and Tian Xu around him seems to be dominated by him, but in this Mei County, Tian Xu can also compete with him.

Listening to Tian Xu's question, Pang Hui snorted coldly at this time, and looked down again.

Pang Hui was wearing heavy armor, about forty-five years old, and his expectations were full of evil spirits.

Surrounded by several sturdy tooth soldiers, they patrolled the surroundings steadily, the iron armor leaves on their bodies gleaming cold in the sunlight.

Seeing a large camp of several miles, densely packed, and there was his nominal lord's nephew as a messenger below, Pang Hui thought about it and sneered, and then showed a solemn demeanor, and finally said: "Open the door and go out of the city!" ”

The surrounding Tian Xu sighed at this time, this time the door was opened, and the army poured in, so they couldn't help themselves.

"Hey, people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, Zhong Shuai has already taken out half of our subordinates, there are only 2,000 people in this city, even if 3,000 strong men have been raised these days, but these 5,000 people, how can they be the opponents of at least 50,000 people in front of them?

If the city is breached and pursued, we will also disobey the orders of the lord and have no way out. ”

Pang Hui sighed and surrendered, and he also explained to the people around him with unwillingness in his tone.

After a while, I saw the city gate open wide, and a group of people poured out, led by Pang Hui and Tian Xu.

Seeing such a situation, whether it was Zhong Yuan or Yang Yi, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
