"Meng Qi!"

"Meet the General!"

In the Dingjun Mountain, Ma Chao led 5,000 elite soldiers and converged with Yang Ling and others.

After greeting each other, Yang Ling smiled,

"Meng Qi, aren't you in Nanzheng with General Wen Yuan, why did you personally lead the troops over?"

"General Wen Yuan was afraid that the general would make a mistake, so he specially ordered me to bring 5,000 soldiers and horses to support."

Ma Chao said, and told Liu Bei about giving up praise and gathering troops at Yangping Pass.

"I see, General Wen Yuan is also thoughtful."

Yang Ling nodded slightly.

Since Liu Bei gathered his troops and withdrew to Yangping Pass, it is very likely that he planned to break through from Jinniu Road.

Although there is the steepness of the Golden Bull Road, it is really a bit difficult to intercept Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops with only the five thousand soldiers and horses in Yang Ling's hands!

Since he knew that Liu Bei intended to escape from the Golden Bull Road, Yang Ling did not slack off.

He immediately sent spies to monitor the direction of Yangping Pass day and night.

As long as there is any movement on Liu Bei's side, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and the others, who have already been prepared, will block them in sections along the Golden Bull Road, and they are bound to intercept Liu Bei and the others!

When everything was ready, Yang Ling and a group of soldiers were also lurking in the mountains and forests, patiently waiting for Liu Bei's arrival.

However, several days have passed, but there is no movement in the direction of Yangping Pass!

"Big brother, something seems wrong!"

Zhao Yun climbed to the top of the mountain from the mountain forest where he was hiding, came to Yang Ling's side, and frowned,

"It's been so long, why hasn't Liu Bei come yet?"

"Could it be that they are going to counterattack Baozhong and Nanzheng again?"

Zhou Cang on the side said suspiciously.

"Impossible, unless he loses his mind, Liu Bei will not go to counterattack Hanzhong."

Yang Ling shook his head resolutely.

You must know that Zhang Liao is bold and fruitful, and he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

If Liu Bei breaks through from the Golden Bull Road, if there is any hope, he will counterattack Hanzhong and face Zhang Liao, he will die without a place to be buried!

"Then why did Liu Bei stay still? Does he have to wait until he runs out of ammunition before he breaks through? ”

Zhao Yun frowned.

Yang Ling pondered for a moment, and just as he was about to send someone to take a look at Yangping Pass, his mind flashed,

"It's not good, Liu Bei has already escaped!"

When everyone heard this, they were all at a loss, and they didn't understand why he said that.

"Liu Bei can't flee west, nor will he go east, and there are towering mountains to the south, what do you think he will do?"

Yang Ling asked.

Zhao Yun frowned slightly, but there was a flash of inspiration,

"Big brother means...... Liu Bei fled north! ”

"Not bad!"

Yang Ling sighed slightly.

All kinds of signs show that Liu Bei put on a posture of wanting to break through from the Golden Bull Road, but in fact, he went to the northwest, in the direction of Qishan.

After all, compared with the Golden Bull Road, although the Qishan Road is far away and heavily guarded, the chance of escaping is greatly increased!

"This ...... What if the general guessed wrong? ”

Ma Chao was a little uncertain.

"Yes or no, let's go to Yangpingguan to see!"

Yang Ling did not hesitate, and immediately sent someone to call Deng Ai and Jiang Wei over.

He ordered all his troops and horses, and marched in the direction of Chaoyang Pingguan.

When I arrived at Yangping Pass, I saw the flag fluttering at the head of the city, and another soldier standing on it, as if he was waiting for the battle!

"It seems that the general is overthinking!"

Ma Chao said with a smile.

Everyone was also suspicious, and even Yang Ling himself muttered in his heart.

Could it be that I really guessed wrong?

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that the soldiers at the head of the city were all dodging and looking wooden.

What's even more amazing is that the Wei army has been pressed to the city, and people like Liu Bei, Fa Zheng, Zhang Fei and others have not shown up.

Yang Ling's heart instantly understood, and he commanded in a deep voice,

"Come on, prepare to attack the city!"

When everyone heard this, they were all taken aback.

They have a total of 10,000 horses, and they want to attack Yangping Pass, which is guarded by tens of thousands of troops, isn't it a fool's dream?

"Big brother, do you want to contact General Wen Yuan and let him attack together?"

Zhao Yun asked.

"You don't have to, I have my own measure, you act according to orders!"

Seeing Yang Ling's resolute attitude, everyone no longer hesitated, and after a little preparation, they began to attack the city!

However, a scene that made everyone jaw-dropping happened.

Here, the Wei army had just begun to attack the city, and before they arrived at the city of Yangping Pass, they saw a white flag waving at the head of the city, and the city gate slowly opened.

Hordes of soldiers, unarmoured, hands held high, walked out!

After they were all under control and took Yangping Pass, Yang Ling and the others also knew the ins and outs of the matter.

Sure enough, as Yang Ling guessed, Liu Bei gathered his troops in Yangping Pass, pretending to be ready to break through, but in fact, he secretly dispatched the elite and headed for Qishan Road in the northwest.

As for the wounded and the people who transported the grain, they were left in Yangping Pass by him, posing as if they were defending the city!

"The eldest brother is really smart, and he saw through Liu Bei's plan at once!"

Zhao Yun couldn't help but praise.

"What kind of intelligence is this, it's not that Liu Bei escaped!"

Yang Ling couldn't help but sigh.

I still underestimated Fazheng, and I was a little careless, and I actually let Liu Bei and others take advantage of the loophole!

"Teacher, don't be upset, although Liu Bei broke through to Qishan, after all, there is a spur history there, and he may not be able to escape!"

Jiang Wei comforted.

"Boyo...... Say, to put it mildly, let's ...... Pursue it now! ”

Deng Ai suggested.

"General, the last general is willing to lead the troops!"

Ma Chao was the first to stand up.

After all, Liu Bei is marching in the direction of Liangzhou, once something goes wrong, Ma Teng will be responsible, not to mention, and may even be in danger of his life!

"It's okay, General Meng Qi quickly led 5,000 soldiers and horses to pursue Liu Bei."

"But remember, be careful in everything, lest you fall into Liu Bei's ambush!"

Yang Ling cautioned.

After receiving the military order, Ma Chao immediately led 5,000 troops and pursued along the Qishan Road.

Yang Ling, Zhao Yun and others stayed in Yangping Pass and waited for Zhang Liao's arrival.

Sure enough, a few days later, a battle report came from Liangzhou.

Liu Bei led the army to attack Xixian County, and Ma Teng, who led the army stationed there, was caught off guard!

In order not to lose the city, Ma Teng also fought to the death!

However, the army was defeated like a mountain, and in the end he died heroically, and the city fell into the hands of Liu Bei!

After seizing the grain and grass in the city, after a simple rest, Liu Bei immediately led his troops to march towards Yinping.

When Ma Chao led people over, all he was left with was a ruin!

Ma Chao, who avenged his father, was angry and took Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and other brothers to pursue Liu Bei.

He was so angry that he completely forgot Yang Ling's instructions, and as a result, he fell into Liu Bei's ambush and suffered heavy losses!

As Liu Bei retreated to Yinping, Ma Chao returned with a fiasco, and the battle for Hanzhong ended with Cao Wei's victory!
