Zhang Lu has been restless recently, and he always feels that something will happen.

He kept moving around in the study, "Yangpingguan, Yangpingguan, there shouldn't be anything going on in Yangpingguan, right?" There has been no news in the last few days, and I don't know what the situation is. ”

Wow.

Footsteps from far and near.

An attendant came to the door of the study and announced: "Lord, Yangping Guan is urgent." ”

Zhang Lu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Come in and report the army to me." “

He couldn't wait to open the military newspaper, only to see that it was scribbled on: Fifteen days ago, the last general Yang Ren and the general Zhang Wei were respectively ambushed, and nearly half of the troops were lost. Three days ago, Chen Xu's army arrived and led the army to tackle the key problems. Yangpingguan suffered heavy losses and asked for the support of the lord.

Zhang Lu looked at the date, which was sent four days ago. In other words, up to now, Chen Xu has been attacking Yangping Pass for seven days.

"Strange, Yang Rendu has sent news, why hasn't Zhang Wei sent news? Could it be that he deliberately concealed military information because he disobeyed my orders and was afraid of punishment? ”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and even felt that Zhang Wei and Yang Ren had colluded to suppress all the things that had been defeated. It's just that because Yangping Pass is about to be lost, the guard general Yang Ren has no choice but to ask for support.

If this is not the case, why has no information been transmitted for more than ten days?

"The shaft almost missed me!"

Zhang Lu scolded angrily, and immediately ordered: "Pass my order, let Yang Ang quickly lead 30,000, no, and 50,000 soldiers to Yangping Pass to support." ”

Boom.

Zhang Lu quickly wrote an order, stamped it with a seal and handed it to the chamberlain, "Go and pass the order!" ”

"Yes, my lord." The chamberlain took the warrant and hurried away.

Yangping Guan Dazhai.

Zhang Wei received a call for help five days earlier than Zhang Lu.

He frowned, picked up the letter and looked at it repeatedly, "Yangping Pass is in a hurry? Chen Xu only has 70,000 soldiers and horses, and it has only been a few days, why can't Yang Ren hold it? Could it be that Chen Xu's army is really so powerful? ”

The handwriting on the letter is from Yang Ren's handwriting, and there is no problem with the seal, it seems that Yangping Pass is really about to be unable to hold it.

He immediately led 15,000 soldiers to Yangping Pass to rescue. At the same time, he ordered 2 lieutenant generals to lead 5,000 soldiers to continue to guard in Dazhai to prevent Chen Xu's army from bypassing the pass from here.

Zhang Wei led the army to the starry night, and in less than a day, he arrived at Yangping Pass.

It was late at night, and there was silence in the gate, except for a few patrols walking back and forth on the city walls.

As soon as Zhang Wei approached the pass with a large army, he was discovered by the patrol troops on the city wall.

"Stop, who are you?"

The adjutant general stepped forward a few steps alone, "Presumptuous, General Zhang received General Yang's call for help, and specially rushed to support, don't hurry up and open the door!" ”

The leader of the patrol shouted: "You hand me the general's token, and I will check it." ”

Zhang Wei handed over his seal to the lieutenant general and asked him to send it through the hanging basket to the closing for the other party to check.

He was very satisfied with Yang Ren's arrangement in his heart, and at this critical moment, he should strengthen his vigilance and never relax his vigilance. This general in charge of patrolling is also very good, and his vigilance is very high.

"Well, it's indeed the general's seal. You wait a while, and I will immediately send someone to inform General Yang. ”

The adjutant general said angrily: "Since you know that it is the seal of the general, why don't you open the door?" ”

The leader replied solemnly: "I have never met General Zhang, how can I fully trust you based on the seal letter alone?" I don't know if this seal letter was obtained after capturing General Zhang. ”

Zhang Wei's face darkened, this person is serious, but he can't speak.

After a while, Yang Ren walked up to the city wall in armor.

"Where is General Zhang? Please also come closer and let the lower officials take a closer look. ”

Zhang Wei rode his horse to the gate and shouted, "General Yang, I have come to support you, open the city gate quickly." ”

Yang Ren held the torch and looked at it carefully, "Sure enough, it's General Zhang." Someone came, quickly opened the city gate, and magnified the general to come in. ”

Crunch.

The gates slowly opened.

Zhang Wei waved his hand, "Let's go, brothers follow me into the customs and have a good rest tonight." ”

When he led the troops into the pass, he suddenly found that it was not Yang Ren who greeted him, but many people he didn't know. Moreover, the archers behind them were all drawn with bowstrings one by one, pointing at him and the troops behind them.

Crunch.

Zhang Wei's follow-up troops were cut off outside the pass before they could enter.

Chen Xu clapped his hands, "General Zhang Wei Zhang, we've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Without thinking too much, Zhang Wei knew that Yangping Pass had already been captured. Yang Ren also surrendered to Chen Xu and took himself as his promotion.

"Hehe, it turned out to be General Chen, fortunately." Zhang Wei is also open-minded, he was caught anyway, it is better to have a better attitude, maybe he will have a chance to live.

Chen Xu smiled, "General Zhang does not change color in the face of danger, this determination is really admirable." ”

"Where, where is it, Zhang knows that there is nowhere to escape, it is better to be at peace with the situation."

"Come on, please go down and have a good rest, don't snub General Zhang." Chen Xu gave an order, and a soldier immediately escorted Zhang Wei down.

Zhang Wei's soldiers, seeing that they were trapped in the pass, had to kneel and ask for surrender.

The soldiers outside the pass wanted to escape, but they were surrounded by Zhang Liao, Qin Qiong, Pang De and others who had been ambushed nearby. Except for a few soldiers who desperately resisted, all the rest surrendered.

A few days later, Chen Xu repeated his old trick and tricked Yang Ang, who rushed to support, into the pass, and once again collected a large number of troops.

Chen Xu sent people to Chang'an to report the victory, and asked Chen Gong to send a large number of lower-level officials to take over the government affairs of various places in Yangping Pass. At the same time, he ordered Zhang Liao to select strong soldiers from the surrendered army to join the army, and send the old, weak, sick and disabled to their homes.

After this battle, the number of Chen Xu's army increased to 120,000.

After receiving the news, Zhang Lu, who was far away in Hanzhong, gathered everyone to discuss in a panic.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our army fell for Chen Xu's conspiracy and tricks, and not only lost Yangping Pass, but also nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses. Tell me, what should we do next? ”

A group of civil and military officials, you look at me, I look at you.

If Yangping Pass is lost, Chen Xu's army will be able to drive straight into Hanzhong.

Yang Song looked left and right, and then again, his eyes rolled around, and his heart hesitated. He wanted to persuade Zhang Lu to surrender, but when he thought that his younger brother Yang Bai had been killed in battle, he dispelled this idea.

He didn't want to avenge his younger brother, but he was worried that after he surrendered, Chen Xu would not be at ease with himself.

Zhang Lu saw that everyone didn't say a word, and his heart was irritable, "Speak, there is a way to raise soldiers for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while." Did I make you dumb when I gave you official positions and salaries? ”

At this moment, a general defending the city ran in in a panic.

"Report, report to the lord, smoke and dust are billowing outside the city, and there are enemy troops rapidly approaching. It is estimated that there are 100,000 people! ”

Zhang Lu was shocked, Chen Xu's army was so fast?
