Is it difficult to borrow troops? Of course it's hard! Who will lend you soldiers for no reason! It's a troubled time, what is a soldier? Soldiers are your security, soldiers are your future, soldiers are your life! Who will lend you soldiers easily, unless, you pay enough.

Liu Biao's price is simple, in a word, Hanzhong will be the Hanzhong of Yizhou in the future, not the Hanzhong of Yongzhou! And welcome Liu Yan to garrison in Sanguan and Jiameng Pass, that is, to hand over the lifeblood of Hanzhong to his brother Liu Yan, such a good condition Liu Yan is naturally very welcome.

Besides, Liu Yan lost face on Zhang Lu's body, in order to protect Zhang Lu's mother, Liu Yan also had a conflict with his son, if he could take Zhang Lu down, he could be regarded as saving face, as for handing over Hanzhong to Liu Biao's jurisdiction, this issue is not a problem at all, after all, it is his own brother, the most important thing is that the two passes, one south and one north, are held in his hands, can Liu Biao turn the sky upside down?

There is a dispute in Nanzheng City here, Zhang Ren's troops have arrived at the bottom of Jiameng Pass, and Yang Ang, the guard general of Jiameng Pass, has received a secret letter from home, happily opened the door, and then returned to Nanzheng with his soldiers.

Zhang Lu saw Yang Ang returning from Jiameng Pass and immediately knew that he was finished, his only repeated capital was the well-organized Wudou Rice Sect, the question was, whether Zhang Lu had the courage to take this risky blow, he would face the local clan of Nanzheng.

Although the Wudoumi Sect is also organized in the army, it also depends on whose army it is, and the local clans of Nanzheng are not fools, can't they see the consequences of these organizations infiltrating the army? Therefore, in an army controlled by a clan like Yang Ang, there is no room for the Five Doumi Sect to survive.

That's why. After Yang Ang's troops appeared in Nanzheng, Zhang Lu's last bit of courage to resist was gone, and his only request was to automatically go out of the field and send him out. Liu Biao generously agreed, but in order to prevent him from going to the south of Hanzhong to launch the Wudou Rice Sect, Liu Biao detained Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei and the two brothers' families, and asked Zhang Lu to return to Yanzhou before sending his family children out of Hanzhong.

The situation in Nanzheng was satisfactorily resolved with the assistance of the local clan, especially the powerful Yang family, and the price paid by Liu Biao was to reuse the Yang family's Yang Song and Yang Bai brothers. By the way, he also married Yang Song's sister-in-law to continue the string, none of this matters to Liu Biao, what kind of character Yang Song's brother is Liu Biao knows very well. What kind of big things can a guy who can be bought by his own wealth and lies casually, and in the future, Hanzhong's military will fall into the hands of Liu Yan. What Liu Biao needs to do is to secretly accumulate strength.

And what Liu Biao really values is Yan Pu, Yang Ren, Yang Ang, and other capable people. Next, Liu Biao will rely on these people to establish his own team, and then slowly wait for the opportunity to seize power, as for what opportunity he is waiting for, just think about Liu Yan's age.

The Nanzheng event arrived, Zhang Lu was also secretly escorted away, and Liu Biao was ordered by Liu Yan to be the Taishou of Hanzhong as the landlord. Liu Biao warmly greeted Zhang Ren and Huang Quan from Shuzhong, and not only provided rewards and supplies to the army. He also personally took over the dust for the two Shuzhong generals, and praised the two generals to the fullest, which made the two of them happy.

"Two generals, now Dong Zhuo's army is looking at the side, which makes it difficult to sleep! The people of Hanzhong are also terrified! The arrival of the two generals is really inspiring, but I don't know how the two generals plan to fight? Do you need our cooperation? ”

Huang Quan and Zhang Ren glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Lord Taishou doesn't need to panic, although Dong Zhuo's army seems to be strong and strong, but this is Hanzhong, not their rampant Xiliang, Hanzhong is mountainous, and the Xiliang cavalry wants to play prestige in Hanzhong, and it depends on whether we Hanzhong people agree or not!" Haha"

Liu Biao's eyes flashed, these two obviously understood people, and it seemed that they didn't need to use their own tongues to persuade them not to use short blows to fight long.

"Hehe, what the general said is very true, and it smells like an initiation.1

"Lord Taishou has won the prize, but it really needs the cooperation of Lord Taishou?"

"Oh, please say, this official will fully cooperate1

Huang Quan was very satisfied with Liu Biao's respect, after all, this kind of person is still a royal noble, he should just be greedy for fame and position, and he panics when he encounters danger, and the lord is worried that Liu Biao may be a little worried.

"That's very good, our army will set off tomorrow, and you can send a guide who is familiar with the terrain to show us the way, and in addition, the logistics and supplies will depend on Lord Taishou."

"The two rest assured, these things will be done well in a down-to-earth manner, to ensure that the two generals have no worries, only hope that the two generals will pass on the good news as soon as possible, and return a peace in Hanzhong, then the people of Hanzhong will be very fortunate, and the officials and everyone here will also be very fortunate1

"There are two generals of Lao 1, everyone is also interested in raising a glass to toast together, as long as they don't let them step forward as a shield, there is nothing wrong with someone helping to resist Dong Zhuo's army, and it doesn't cost to say a few nice words.

So under the fun of the host, the banquet ended happily.

On the second day, Huang Quan and Zhang Ren led their troops north to Liuba, on the one hand to strengthen the defense facilities of Liuba, and on the other hand, they sent many teams to familiarize themselves with the surrounding terrain and environment.

The two are not in a hurry to go north to fight against Li Dao, the time is already on their side, it is Li Dao who should be anxious, if Li Dao spends money and food but can't take Hanzhong, what is waiting for Li Dao Li Dao naturally knows, Dong Zhuo's military law is very strict.

Therefore, Huang Quan and Zhang Ren's active defense in Liuba gave Li Dao a great headache, from a military point of view, at this time, Dong Zhuo had actually lost his strategic initiative, and should not continue to fight, but should make peace, see if he can properly blackmail a little, at least he can get back the grain and grass spent on waging the war.

However, Dong Zhuo's character is not like this, this kind of humiliating thing Dong Zhuo is unwilling to do, in Dong Zhuo's opinion, it is correct to defeat Liu Yan's reinforcements in one fell swoop, maybe not only can Hanzhong be taken this time, but it is not impossible to take Shuzhong together!

At the urging of Dong Zhuo, Li Dao had to lead his troops south and cautiously advance to Liuba City to set up camp, but trouble came immediately.

From that night on, the surroundings of Li Dao's camp did not stop, boulder fireballs continued to fly towards the camp from the surrounding mountains, and there were scattered arrows that were dense and sparse, and then it was his own back road, and the baggage camp was intercepted and killed by the other party, and finally a lot of baggage was burned by the other party.

When the cavalry went to pursue, they found that the other party had climbed up the mountain, and they could clearly see the figure of the other party, and even the other party was giggling and shooting the pursuers with crossbow arrows, but the cavalry could only watch, and there was nothing there was to do about these sneak attack enemies.

When the cavalry returned to the troops, the enemy troops followed, harassing and shooting on the hills on both sides, and at this time the fierce Xiliang cavalry found that here, the cavalry was a tragedy!

Li Dao wanted to repeat the old trick and let Zhang Ji bypass the back road of Liuba, who knew that Huang Quan had already killed Li Dao's trick, and ambushed Zhang Ji's troops on the mountain road, and Zhang Ji himself almost folded in the mountains and forests.

Li Dao had no choice but to storm Liuba, but the front of Liuba was narrow, which was not conducive to the investment of troops, and Li Dao's attack was empty but ineffective.

A few days have passed, and the grain and grass in Li Dao's army have begun to be tight, but it is difficult for logistics to come up, but Liuba on the opposite side is still very coquettish.

Li Dao had to write a letter to Dong Zhuo, asking to withdraw from the army, Dong Zhuo was furious, Dong Zhuo did not understand the military, on the contrary, Dong Zhuo understood Li Dao's situation very well, but now Chang'an is threatened by drought, Dong Zhuo has stood on the edge of the cliff, the situation is even more dangerous, if Li Dao can't get food from Hanzhong, then Dong Zhuo's only way may be to turn his face with the clan, it may be a big chaos!

Li Dao may not be able to understand Dong Zhuo's difficulties, but no matter whether he understands or understands, Li Dao does not dare not carry out Dong Zhuo's orders, that is, he must try his best to win this battle, Hanzhong must be won, it must be!

The battle in Hanzhong was not lively, because the troops invested by both sides were not large, and the tasks released were also limited, so there were not many players involved, and in comparison, it seemed that there were more players on the side of the Shuzhong camp, because their troops were originally mountain infantry, which was suitable for fighting on this terrain.

On the contrary, most of the players in the Chang'an camp are suitable for plain and town warfare, and they are very disadvantaged under this complex terrain, so the players who came to participate in the battle of Hanzhong silently retreated after finding that the situation was not good, so that no one took the task in Li Dao's military camp.

Under the elimination of one and the other's strengths, it will only make Li Dao's situation more difficult, Li Dao is now unable to use his strength, and in the near future, there will even be a shortage of food and cooking, he is now like a mouse in the bellows, unable to advance and retreat at the same time and suffer from both ends.

Li Ji was even more worried about the white head, but unfortunately he couldn't let him scratch his head for the current situation, he and Zhang Ji were anxious every day, and finally gave them an idea, that is, to pretend to retreat, lure Huang Quan and Zhang Ren out, and then form a field situation on the way.

This idea can't help but say that it's still good, in fact, when they withdrew their troops, Huang Quan and Zhang Ren did come out, their mission is to recover Sanguan, and they can't stay in Liuba all the time, right?

So, Li Dao happily came back to the carbine, wanting them to taste what is called Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

Who would have thought that when Huang Quan Zhang Ren saw that the Xiliang cavalry was killed, he immediately shouted, and the troops scattered and rushed to the hillsides on both sides, Li Dao was suddenly stupid, the enemy who wanted to rush to kill was gone, and he rushed over to eat arrows from both sides, Li Dao hurriedly collected the troops, and wandered for a while, and had to retreat.

So, Li Dao was forced back to Fengxian by Huang Quan and Zhang Ren all the way, and now the offense and defense have changed momentum! To be continued...
