Zhang Wei and Yang Bai had already arrived with their troops, plus the 20,000 soldiers and horses originally stationed here, there were a total of 70,000 troops stationed in Yangping Pass at this time.

"General, the vanguard of the other side is only 20,000 horses, we will definitely be able to easily hold Yangping Pass." Yang Bai was very optimistic about this mission.

Zhang Wei looked outside the pass, "The walls of Yangping Pass are high and thick, and they are equipped with strong bows and crossbows, so I'm not worried." It's just that outside the pass, there is also a mountain road that can bypass here and go directly into the pass. What worries me is that the vanguard of the enemy will choose to attack from there. ”

Yang Bai smiled: "The general is too careful, right?" The mountain road was rugged and difficult to navigate, but some hunters went into the mountains to hunt and mine, so it could not be regarded as a road at all. Even the locals don't know much, let alone the Chang'an Army? ”

Zhang Wei asked rhetorically: "As you said, the Chang'an army knew that Yangping Pass was difficult to overcome, why did it only send such a small number of troops?" According to the news, the vanguard army and the Chinese army in Chang'an combined were only 70,000 people, and only the number of defenders at Yangping Pass was the same. ”

Yang Bai hesitated, "This, this, they probably don't know that we have sent reinforcements." ”

Zhang Wei stopped talking, didn't know that we had sent reinforcements? Are you taking Chen Xu's Chang'an Army as a fool?

After inspecting the Yangping Pass and confirming that there was no problem with the defense facilities on the Pass, he personally led 50,000 soldiers to arrange fortifications in the mountains and forests outside the Yangping Pass, and stationed them here to prevent the Chang'an army from making a detour into the pass.

"General, this place is overgrown with trees, we are stationed here, and we need to prevent enemy attacks." Yang Bai actively suggested.

Zhang Wei suddenly felt that the eldest brother had sent a pig teammate to him.

"The mountains and forests here are endless, and if the enemy were to attack us not far away, wouldn't they even burn them? If the fire is prevented from a long distance, it will not only expose their location, but also alert our army. ”

Yang Bai looked at the lush trees around him, and he couldn't speak, as if this was really the case.

Li Jing's military account.

On top of the desk, there is a topographic map of the vicinity of Yangping Pass.

Li Jing pointed at the topographic map with one hand, frowning and thinking about the strategy of attacking Yangping Pass.

Yangping Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and with the little force in his hand, it is impossible to conquer it head-on. In this way, if you want to attack Yangping Pass, you can only go around it from the mountains hundreds of miles away from the checkpoint.

The mountain roads are rough and difficult to navigate, and it is not easy to get around. If the other side also sends troops and horses to station, it will be even more difficult to achieve the goal.

Of course, he could also be stationed near Yangping Pass, waiting for him to join Chen Xu's army, and then attack Yangping Pass together. However, this is not in line with my own style at all.

If this is done, then is there still a need for this vanguard army to exist? It's just that opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water, such work can be done by the scout troops and the civilian troops. What he had to do was to let the vanguard troops take the lead in attacking Yangping Pass and gain the first credit for capturing Hanzhong.

"Zhang Wei and Yang Bai don't seem to be famous generals. I don't know what the relationship between the two of them is, is there something to use? It would be much easier if they could be divided. ”

Li Jing stared in the direction of Yangping Pass and fell into deep thought.

He is almost 60 years old, and he has passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but he still wants to continue to fight on the battlefield and establish immortal feats. In particular, being able to play against famous players in history makes him even more excited.

So when Chen Xu found him again, hoping that he could be the vanguard marshal of the attack on Hanzhong and Yizhou, he agreed without hesitation. and also called his good brother Qin Qiong, and the brothers are ready to do a great career in the Three Kingdoms world.

This time, the strategic goal is not only Hanzhong, but also the Yizhou area south of Hanzhong. If it was just to attack Hanzhong, Chen Xu would not have to lead the army in person at all. As long as he successfully wins these two regions, Chen Xu will have the strength to dominate the world.

At the same time, Xiahoudun of Xuchang also prepared his army and marched in the direction of this Hangu Pass. His march was relatively slow, and he planned to accelerate his march and raid Hangu Pass after Chen Xu led the army out of Chang'an.

Xiahoudun looked into the distance and clenched his fists, "Chen Xu, you wait, if you kill my brother Xiahou Yuan's revenge, I will definitely get it back in person." Hmph, you actually sent two nobodies to guard Hangu Pass? ”

A contemptuous smile appeared on his face, imagining that he would kill into Hangu Pass, and then lead his troops all the way to Hongnong and Chang'an, and finally kill Chen Xu with his own hands and get revenge.

Cao Cao's study.

Guo Jia asked very puzzled: "Lord, you know that it will be difficult to send General Xiahou to attack Hangu Pass, why do you still send him?" ”

Cao Cao smiled helplessly, "Fengxiao, I also know that the chance of success is very low. But when I think of Miaocai's death and Chen Xu'er's hatred for seizing Chang'an, I can't suppress it, and I guess the same is true for Yuan Rang.

If I don't take this opportunity to vent, many people in the Xiahou clan will have opinions about me. Although we temporarily defeated Yuan Shao, the situation is still not optimistic. At this time, we must not allow discordant voices to arise within us. ”

Guo Jia sighed, "In this case, the subordinates will understand." It's just a pity that those soldiers who went out with the army really can't afford to lose at present. I hope that General Xiahou can retreat in the face of difficulties and not act rashly. ”

Cao Cao also sighed, "Although Hao Zhao and Wang Shuang are not famous, since Chen Xu asked them to guard Hangu Pass, they must all have something extraordinary." I'm really not optimistic about Yuan Rang's action. Hopefully, hopefully he will succeed. ”

Guo Jia shook his head, if it was General Xiahou Yuan, who was good at running thousands of miles, it would be a few possibilities to take the opportunity to raid and capture the pass. But General Xiahoudun could only pray silently, hoping that he would not put all the 10,000 soldiers into it.

Shinno Castle.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei sat together, and the brothers stared at each other with big eyes and drank with their heads bored.

"Second brother, third brother, what do you say is going on? Since we started the Yellow Turbans, we have been fighting for many years and have accumulated a lot of fame. How is it that after all these years, we don't even have a decent piece of land? ”

Guan Yu comforted: "Big brother, we have bad luck and a bad fate. I believe that it will not be long before we will have our own territory. ”

Zhang Fei wiped the wine stains on his mouth, "Big brother, I don't think we have a powerful strategist." Cao Cao, Chen Xu, and Yuan Shao all have a lot of strategists under them, and it is better to come up with an idea than for us to be bored. ”

The three of them fell silent.

They have strategists, but their strategists are not top-notch strategists. People like Mi Zhu and Sun Qian, it is no problem for them to handle internal affairs and take charge of money and food, but it is impossible for them to plan the world.

"Report, my lord, there is a man outside who claims to be Shan Fu who asks to see him. He said that he wanted to discuss the world with the lord and discuss the issue of reviving the Han family. ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed in his heart, this person who asked to see him was so angry, could it be that he was a person with real talent and learning? Either way, just bring him in and give it a try.

"Hurry up, please!"
