The danger of the Sword Gate Pass is far above any pass in the world.

Just starting from Yangping Pass and reaching Jianmen Pass, this section of the journey is extremely bumpy and rugged.

If it weren't for Yang Ling's order half a year in advance to repair the road slightly, I am afraid that the Wei army would not have arrived at Jianmen Pass so quickly.

In addition, the front of the Sword Gate is also extremely narrow, and almost all of them are stone paths that can only accommodate one person to pass through.

Yang Ling's 200,000 Wei troops couldn't spread at all.

Although there was artillery, the mountain road was bumpy, and it had to spend huge manpower and material resources to transport it.

Fortunately, Yang Ling let the craftsman invent the hot air balloon.

He has been standing still for the past few days, just waiting for the right wind direction.

When the time came, Yang Ling raised the hot air balloon at night.

In addition to Deng Ai, Jiang Wei, and Biqiu Jian, a group of dead soldiers were carefully selected!

They took advantage of the night to take a hot air balloon to the sky above the Sword Gate Pass.

When Zhang Bao and Zhang Shao both focused their attention on the Wei army camp, Deng Ai and his party followed the rope and landed in the Jianmen Pass.

In the end, taking advantage of the Shu Han army's inattention, they took the Jianmen Pass in one fell swoop!

"Teacher, what should you do with these two?"

Deng Ai walked over from not far away, and behind him were Zhang Bao and Zhang Shao, who were tied up by five flowers!

"Shizai, how can you be so disrespectful to them? Hurry up and loosen it! ”

Yang Ling commanded.

After all, Zhang Bao and Zhang Shao are brothers, but Yang Ling's brother-in-law!

"Phew, Yang thief, don't be coy!"

Zhang Bao's eyes widened angrily, and he said viciously.

"Xingguo, don't be rude to His Royal Highness the King!"

Hearing a familiar voice, Zhang Bao looked over with Zhang Shao, and when he saw the person clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Uncle ......"

Yes, it was Guan Yu who came.

Behind him, Guan Ping, Guan Xing and others followed.

After knowing that Zhang Bao and Zhang Shao were captured alive, Guan Yu was afraid that they would speak disrespectfully and offend Yang Ling, so he hurried over.

"Your two sister Xingcai is now the side concubine of His Royal Highness King Qi, and you and His Royal Highness King Qi are also a family, so don't be so presumptuous."

Guan Yu said in a deep voice.

When Zhang Bao and Zhang Shao heard this, their faces were quite complicated.

The two of them glanced at each other, and had to reluctantly arch their hands,

"I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Qi!"

"If a family doesn't talk to two families, the two generals don't have to be polite! Come on, let the two generals go down to rest first. ”

Yang Ling waved his hand with a smile and motioned for Zhou Cang to take Zhang Bao and Zhang Shao down.

The temperament and personality of these two brothers are similar to that of their father Zhang Fei.

It is almost impossible to think that this will persuade them.

After pacifying Yizhou and capturing Liu Bei and Zhang Fei alive, it is not too late to persuade them to surrender.

……

After escaping from Jianmen Pass in a hurry, Liu Bei didn't even dare to stay in Jiange County, and retreated all the way in the direction of Chengdu.

It wasn't until the sky was bright and the people of the Shu Han court withdrew to Wulian County that they stopped to rest.

"Uncle Zhi (Chen Zhizi), how is the situation in the rear?"

Liu Bei gasped and looked at Chen Dao on the side.

Because Zhao Yun was cut off by Yang Ling, now Chen Zhi has taken Zhao Yun's place in history and assumed the position of the leader of the central army, responsible for controlling the entire forbidden army.

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Chen Zhi hurriedly said,

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has just sent someone to the rear, and soon news will come."

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief slightly, but then sighed helplessly,

"How did this Wei army enter the Sword Gate Pass?"

"Your Majesty, the minister just asked the soldiers in the army."

Fa Zheng explained,

"Some people say that the Wei army suddenly appeared in the pass, and the two generals Zhang Bao and Zhang Shao were attacked by the enemy in the back, which led to the loss of the pass."

Hearing this, everyone was confused.

Jianmen Pass is extremely steep, Zhang Bao and Zhang Shao are guarding the city, how did the Wei army enter the pass?

"How is this possible, could it be that the Wei army flew in?"

Zhang Fei frowned and said in a rough voice.

The people of Shu Han thought for a long time, but they didn't come up with a reason, so they had to give up.

At this moment, the person sent by Chen Zhi to the rear to inquire about the news also turned back.

According to what he said, after the Wei army took the Jianmen Pass, it did not rush forward, but temporarily rested in place.

After knowing this situation, Liu Bei and the others were relieved.

"Right now, the Sword Gate is lost, and my Han Gate is open. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and we must retreat quickly in order to organize troops and horses to deal with the attack of the Wei army. ”

Fa Zheng suggested in a deep voice.

"According to what Mr. Xiaozhi said, let's go to Fucheng first."

Liu Bei nodded.

After a slight adjustment, the people of Shu Han embarked on the trip again.

……

Jiangzhou.

Zhuge Liang was sitting in the lobby, listening to Wang Ping and Gao Xiang report on the battle ahead.

"We have arranged a defensive line along the Yangtze River waterway in accordance with the Prime Minister's instructions."

"In the narrow part of the waterway, wooden piles are installed under the water to delay the speed of the Wei water division."

Wang Ping said slowly.

"It's hard work for the two generals."

Zhuge Liang bowed slightly, nodded and praised.

Shu Han's army combined, at most, was only 100,000 people.

Liu Bei took most of the soldiers and horses to the Sword Pavilion in the north, leaving Zhuge Liang with less than 30,000 people.

However, the Wei Navy Division led by Pang Tong had 100,000 people.

With such a huge disparity in strength, Zhuge Liang can only choose to defend to the death and see if he can have a chance to steal chickens.

Fortunately, the waterway in this area of Ba County is extremely winding, but it can drag on for a long time.

As long as you can hold out until Your Majesty repels the Wei army, you will have no problem on your side.

Zhuge Liang said secretly.

"I don't know what's going on with Your Majesty?"

Wang Ping looked at the map and sighed slightly.

"General Zijun can rest assured!"

Gao Xiang on the side said with a smile,

"Your Majesty has a number of fierce generals and strategists such as generals and great Simas, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and there is even a sword gate."

"Even if the Wei army has a million soldiers and horses, what can it do?"

"What General Gao said is extremely true, even if Your Majesty can't defeat the Wei army, it will never be a problem to hold on for three or five months."

Zhuge Liang is also quite confident.

After helping Liu Bei take Yizhou, he advised Liu Bei to strengthen the Jianmen Pass in response to Cao Wei's future attacks.

No one knows better than him that the Sword Gate is precipitous!

When a few people were discussing, they saw the tooth gate general walking quickly into the camp tent, and his expression was quite nervous.

"Prime Minister, there is news from Your Majesty!"

Seeing his panicked expression, Wang Ping couldn't help but quip,

"Why is General Xiang's expression, could it be that he saw a ghost in broad daylight?"

Xiang Pet did not respond, but handed a letter to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang had an ominous premonition in his heart, and hurriedly stood up and took the letter.

When he read the contents of the letter, his eyes went black, and his body almost fell to the ground.

"Prime Minister! Prime minister! ”

Wang Ping was shocked, and hurriedly hugged Zhuge Liang and pinched his people!
