Yingchuan, one of the three main forces of the Yellow Turban Army, Peng Tuo's department occupies Yingchuan City, and the generals under his command He Man, Yang Feng, and Li Damu, Peng Tuo led Yang Feng to lead the main force of 100,000 to garrison Yingchuan City, and He Man led Li Damu to lead 80,000 to garrison Fenggu Pass.

Fenggu Pass is located in the northwest of Yingchuan thirty miles away, about three hundred miles away from Luoyang, after the Yellow Turban Uprising, He Man and Zhang Mancheng led the army to Luoyang to attack, along the way the siege strategy is unstoppable, the imperial court was shocked after hearing this, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun hurriedly led the five schools, the knights of the three rivers, and the 40,000 soldiers who had just been recruited to resist in the south, and finally stopped the army of He Man in Zhongmu, the two sides had their own victories and defeats in the three days of the battle, and later He Man was shot by a stray arrow in the battle, and Zhang Bao urgently transferred Zhang Mancheng to the north, He Man must not lead the army not to return to the Fenggu Pass.

At first, Zhang Mancheng was the commander of Yingchuan, and the total strength was more than 300,000, but after Cheng Yuanzhi and others were eliminated in Zhuojun, Zhang Bao took into account the emptiness of Jizhou, and the main force of the Ping army would go south, and his rear would be completely disrupted, Zhang Bao had to send Zhang Mancheng north to block the Dingping army, and Zhang Mancheng transferred 50,000 troops from Yingchuan at once, which caused the Yellow Turban Army to be unable to continue to go north, but who knew that even Zhang Mancheng was defeated, and it was defeated very completely.

Although the Yellow Turban Army of Yingchuan was wiped out more than 50,000 people in the battle with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and 50,000 people were transferred by Zhang Mancheng, the main force of Zhu Jun of Huangfu Song also lost more than half, and the main force of Yingchuan was still there, and it was not a problem to defeat Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, but at this time, Liu Bei and Cao Cao rushed from Guangzong and Chen Liu, and Sun Jian led 20,000 righteous troops north to Yingchuan City, which made Peng Tuo dare not act rashly, and finally formed a confrontation with the Han army.

Fenggu Pass is close to Qifeng in the east, Weishui River in the west, the terrain is very dangerous but it is not a big pass, compared with the Tiger Prison Pass, Bishui Guang and Huguan Pass, the Fenggu Pass is almost not worth mentioning, and the Fenggu Pass is not the only way to Yingchuan, there is a big road leading to Yingchuan fifty miles down the Fenggu Pass, the Han army can completely bypass this pass and approach Yingchuan, but Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun did not choose to do so, because once they changed the route, it was equivalent to giving way to the Yellow Turban Army to enter Luoyang, This is the true meaning of the existence of Fengguguan.

The base camp of the Han army outside Fenggu Pass

"What? Mengde, what do you say? You repeat? ”

In the big tent, after hearing the news reported by Cao Cao, Huangfu Song, who was handsome, stood up suddenly, with a shocked expression on his face.

"General Zhennan, General Zhengnan," Chonghuang Fu Song and Zhu Jun hugged their fists, Cao Cao said respectfully: "My subordinates sent back the exact news, early yesterday morning Peng Tuo transferred Li Damu, led the main force of 100,000 in Yingchuan City to the north, it is estimated that the former general Zhang Yixing attacked Pinglingdu, and the Yellow Turban Army could not resist, so he transferred troops from Yingchuan. ”

Cao Cao's intelligence is also very accurate, that's right, Peng Tuo did lead his troops north, which is also the news that Zhang Yi got caught him off guard when he encircled and suppressed the Pingling Yellow Turban Army before, but how did Cao Cao learn about this news? And even Cao Cao learned the news, so why did Zhang Yi, who has always paid attention to intelligence, learn in a hurry before the enemy hit his fist to the nose? Of course, there is a reason for this, and this reason also led to Zhang Yi's repeated passivity when fighting against the heavy princes, and even failed to completely solve it until the end, which became Zhang Yi's confidant.

Of course, these are all later words, the current problem is that the defense of Yingchuan is empty, but the main force of the Han army is blocked by Fenggu Pass, and although Sun Jian's department has more than 20,000 people, there are still some defenders in Yingchuan City, Yingchuan is a strong city, even if the Yingchuan defenders are only three or five thousand people, there is no problem in holding Yingchuan for a day or two.

Once Sun Jian waved his troops to attack the city, He Man's troops at Fenggu Pass would inevitably come to the rescue, and if He Man took advantage of Sun Jian's battle with the Yingchuan defenders to attack Sun Jian, then Sun Jian would be defeated, because the more than 20,000 people under his command were not elite, and they were just half a catty and eight taels of people under He Man, and He Man had 80,000 main forces, even if he only sent half of his troops to fight Sun Jian, Sun Jian would not be able to support it.

In fact, Peng Tuo deliberately left an empty city for Sun Jian to tempt Sun Jian, Peng Tuo had already secretly transferred 5,000 elites from Fenggu Pass to Yingchuan, and Peng Tuo also left 5,000 defenders in Yingchuan City, as long as Sun Jian dared to lead the troops to attack the city, then He Man would definitely lead the troops back to rescue Sun Jian and attack Sun Jian with the Yingchuan defenders, and Sun Jian would undoubtedly be defeated at that time, I have to say that this plan is indeed good, but this plan was not what Peng Tuo thought of, but Du Xiang left, Du Xiang was also afraid that he would lose in Pinglingdu, so he left this plan, said that once Pingling City needed to transfer troops to the north, it would use this strategy, so this is the current situation.

At present, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are itching after learning about this, but they also know that with the troops in their hands, it is not easy to take the Fenggu Pass, not to mention the loss for the time being, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun can't afford to consume it alone, because they don't know how long Zhang Yi can support it, if Peng Tuo will come back in two days, then once they attack and lose too many men and horses, when Peng Tuo Xing's troops attack, they are worried that they will not have the power to parry, and once they are defeated, it is equivalent to giving the Yellow Turban Army the way to the north, At that time, Luoyang will be in danger, and they really don't dare to take this risk.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were worried, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were very clear, so after Cao Cao finished reporting the situation, Liu Bei, who was eager to make contributions, immediately stood up.

"Two generals," bowed and bowed, Liu Bei said unhurriedly: "After Bei Yuan leads his troops around Fenggu Pass, once the thieves come back to rescue, he will definitely go all out to block the attack, so as to ensure that Sun Xian Ling can successfully take Yingchuan City, but there are too few men and horses under Bei's command, and I hope that the two generals can allocate more men and horses, so that Bei can better complete the blocking task." ”

Liu Bei is accustomed to borrowing soldiers, not long ago he borrowed thousands of men and horses from Gongsun Zhan, and now he is asking for soldiers from Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

In fact, it sounds very simple to lead the troops around, but it is very dangerous to do it, Yingchuan City and Fenggu Pass are only more than 30 miles apart, if you want to intercept or intercept the reinforcements of Fenggu Pass, it is not an easy matter to choose an ambush point, and the choice is close to Fenggu Pass, so it is not a interception but to find death, and it is chosen

Hearing that Liu Bei was willing to lead his troops around to intercept He Man, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were naturally overjoyed, and immediately agreed to transfer 5,000 from the five school sergeants to Liu Bei.

"Two generals!"

After Liu Bei took the Tiger Talisman for the transfer of troops, he was just about to turn around and leave the camp tent, when Cao Cao suddenly stood up.

Bowing down to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, Cao Cao said respectfully: "Cao is also willing to share the worries of the two generals and His Majesty the Emperor, and lead the people of the headquarters to detour through the peak and valley passes, and intercept the Yellow Turban rebels." ”

As soon as Cao Cao's voice fell, Liu Bei's heart at the tent couldn't help but tighten, because what he was most afraid of was that Cao Cao would jump out and block He Man's opportunity to intercept him, but Cao Cao jumped out.

Everyone who came here to fight against the Yellow Turban Army, except for Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who thought that after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, they could use their own merits to manage the government and support the Han family, while the others didn't really think about solving problems for the court, the emperor, and the people, in fact, they were all thinking about their own utilitarianism.

The soldiers want to establish meritorious deeds in order to get rich rewards to live a better life, and some even want to mix up an official and a half-job, get a knighthood or something, so as to glorify their ancestors, and Liu Bei and Cao Cao want to accumulate merit and fame for themselves by quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so as to achieve their ambitions later, but now the fact in front of them is that the pacification of the Yellow Turban Rebellion seems to have become Zhang Yi's one-man gamble, Zhang Yi led his Dingping army to pacify Youzhou and then to Jizhou, and now even the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan has gone north to deal with him, Liu Bei and Cao Cao both felt that if they didn't make some merit quickly, they would have no chance in the future.

"That's very good," after hearing that Cao Cao was also willing to lead troops around, Zhu Jun immediately stroked his palms and laughed: "Then Meng De and Xuande will go together to intercept and kill He Man, and if they work together, they will be able to succeed immediately, and I will also allocate you 5,000 elite soldiers." ”

After speaking, Zhu Jun picked up half of the tiger talisman from the table and handed it to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao did not thank him like Liu Bei after taking the tiger talisman and turned to leave.

Bowing to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun again, Cao Cao lowered his head and said: "Cao also knows that there are many people and great power, but this is a subordinate problem......"

Cao Cao's meaning is very clear, that is, he wants to ask who he and Liu Bei are the CPs.

Cao Cao's words were not finished, but Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were not stupid, they immediately understood what Cao Cao meant, and after the two of them muttered to each other, Huangfu Song clapped the board, taking Cao Cao as the main general, Cao Cao was overjoyed after hearing it, and immediately thanked him and left.

"Master Cao!"

After walking out of the big tent side by side with Cao Cao, although Liu Bei was very depressed, he still saluted Cao Cao with a smile.

"Hey~"

Holding Liu Bei with both hands, Cao Cao, who was full of smiles, took Liu Bei's hand and said: "Brother Xuandexian, I don't want to compete with you for the position of the main general, you said that the two of us brothers will block the Yellow Turban traitor together, there must be someone in charge, I thought that with the qualifications and identity of Xuande Xian, this position of the main general must be yours of Xuande Xian, but I didn't expect... Forget it, don't talk about this, our two brothers don't have any subordination, you and I discuss the matter of the enemy, and after the enemy is broken, you and I will share the credit equally, and the spoils of war and prisoners will also be equally divided, how about it? ”

Cao Cao listened to Song Ye's opinion, he regarded Zhang Yi as his rival, and wanted to unite all those who could be united, and when the opportunity was ripe, he would destroy Zhang Yi in one fell swoop, and it just so happened that Liu Bei thought so in his heart, so Liu Bei immediately agreed to Cao Cao's plan, and the two people who coincided immediately laughed and went hand in hand.

Liu Bei and Cao Cao worked together to calculate He Man, but Zhang Yi was numb at this time because there were too many Yellow Turban troops on his side.
