The battle situation in Tiger Prison Pass quickly subsided.

Yang Zhao led the troops to rectify the pass, cleaned up the battle situation, and said: "Tongfang's method is very good. ”

Feng Ming said modestly: "The main thing is that our strength is strong, and the combat power of General Dian is strong enough to succeed, and the method is only auxiliary, it is nothing." ”

Dian Wei said: "The lord is strong, I can't do it with Zhongkang, the two of them still can't beat Lu Bu's house, compared with the time outside Jianye City, Lu Bu's strength is stronger, and my hands are still trembling." ”

Xu Chu echoed and said: "Lu Bu's strength is really strong, we almost can't beat it." ”

Yang Zhao asked with concern, "You are not injured, are you?" ”

They shook their heads at the same time.

Yang Zhao said again: "Tongfang, continue to hand over to you here to defend, I guess Cao Cao will definitely not dare to come again, and then he should attack in the south of Luoyang, I am ready to go to the south of Luoyang, gather all the troops that can be used now to resist Cao Cao." ”

Feng Ming thought for a while and asked, "We don't need it yet, use too many troops to fight Cao Cao, right?" ”

Yang Zhao said with a smile: "This is just a plan, I will publicize it when the time comes, my main force is basically in the south of Luoyang, creating an illusion for Liu Bei and Sun Quan that I want to kill Cao Cao first, and then go to raid Sun Quan." ”

After a pause, he said again: "Cao Cao also wants to make an illusion of attacking the Tiger Prison Pass in an all-out way. ”

The 30,000 scarecrows in Cao's camp, they all saw it.

The troops brought by Cao Cao are only 50,000 at most, and the rest is bluffing, using the scarecrow in clothes to confuse Yang Zhao's judgment, but Cao Cao couldn't imagine that Yang Zhao played his cards so unruly.

Digging an obvious trap, he jumped straight in.

Yang Zhao said again: "Leave 20,000 people here, and the rest will go back with me." ”

When he returned to Luoyang, he concentrated his forces, and at the same time let Fang Rui and them, pretending to be difficult to defend, and then led the army to the pass in the south of Luoyang, and dealt a fatal blow to Cao Cao.

——

On the ramp.

Liu Bei had already come to the end of the mountain road here, and a little further, they would be able to walk out of the Qinling Mountains.

A large number of grains, grasses, and baggage were right behind them.

They walked out of the slope road, and in front of them was the slope valley, which was also the place of Zhuge Liang's last northern expedition.

Gojogahara is not far away.

"Strategist, what's going on?"

Liu Bei asked expectantly.

Pang Tong said unhurriedly: "We are in the mountains, the news to the outside world is not accessible, what happened to Cao Cao and Sun Quan, it is not clear for the time being, but General Guan and they have come to the south of Dasan Pass, ready to attack, General Zhang entered the Meridian Valley, the mountain road over there is more difficult to walk, there is no news back for the time being, but there should be no problem." ”

Liu Bei said with confidence: "Over there in Chencang Road, Yun Chang is assisted by Yuan Zhi, and it is not a big problem, in Meridian Valley Road, Yide has Zhang Ziqiao by his side, and if he wants to raid Chang'an, it should still be easy, but the road will be more difficult to walk." ”

Fa Zheng said: "It is precisely because it is difficult to walk that can surprise and attack it unprepared." ”

"That's right!"

Pang Tong nodded and said: "Attacking Chang'an from the Meridian Valley is a surprise attack, I hope it can succeed, if it doesn't succeed, the impact on us is not too great, General Zhang can come out of the Meridian Valley, and then rush to the Slope Valley, meet with us, and take Yixian and Wugong and other places first." ”

Liu Bei asked, "When are we going to fight?" ”

"Just tomorrow, out of the valley and hit Yi County."

Pang Tong looked to the north and said: "You can let people prepare the pontoon bridge in advance, we can cross the Wugong Water and Weishui, first take Yixian, use this as a base, and then contact General Guan and General Zhang, so as to facilitate the transportation of grain and baggage, and also facilitate our tripartite alliance, go deep into Guanzhong, control the section from Chencang to Chang'an, and go to Tongguan newly repaired by Yang Zhao." ”

As long as Tongguan is taken, Yang Zhao can be cut off from Luoyang to Guanzhong.

and then slowly deal with Ma Chao and others in Liangzhou.

"Yang Zhao will definitely be deployed in Guanzhong!"

Fa Zheng reminded: "The fact that we will unite with Sun Quan and others is not a secret to Yang Zhao, and it is not easy to fight out." ”

Pang Tong nodded and said: "It's really not easy, but the current Yang Zhao should be dealing with Cao Cao, he is being pinned, this is our chance, as long as we can cross the martial arts water, we are half of the success." ”

"I don't think it's necessary to cross the martial arts water."

Fa Zheng took out a map and analyzed: "You can cross from the top of the valley to the upper reaches of Weishui, and you can also directly hit Yixian." ”

Pang Tong used to be a native of Jiangdong and did not know much about the terrain of Guanzhong.

After being reminded by Fazheng, he opened the map and studied it for a while.

"Xiaozhi is right, it was my negligence."

Pang Tong hurriedly said: "Change the plan and cross the Weishui directly tomorrow." ”

Liu Bei said: "I'll let people arrange it!" ”

With military advisors and strategists by his side to give advice, Liu Bei felt that he didn't even need to use his brain, just follow their arrangement, and he didn't know how comfortable it was.

The next day.

Morning.

Liu Bei ordered that most of the baggage should be left in the mountain road, and then 500 soldiers were arranged to take care of it, and the other 50,000 people all followed him into the valley, rushed to the upper reaches of Weishui, and soon came to the river bank.

Scouts had already been sent out in advance to scout the neighborhood.

Inside the valley, which was now safe and stable, and there was no trace of the enemy, they came to the bank of the river with confidence, built a pontoon bridge, and prepared to cross the river.

At the same time, Pang Tong asked people to prepare trebuchets and explosives bags.

As for the application of explosives, they have ideological limitations, and they do not understand too many principles of physics and chemistry, so they basically follow Yang Zhao's previous method and use trebuchets to throw explosives to achieve the purpose of striking the enemy.

They couldn't think of a second way other than that.

This is to prevent the appearance of an enemy on the north bank, and even if they are hit by a half-crossing, they can respond as quickly as possible and counterattack.

The pontoon bridge was quickly erected.

"Cross the river!"

Liu Bei ordered.

Zhang Wei first commanded the soldiers to walk up the pontoon bridge and rush to the opposite bank.

But as soon as they reached the halfway point of the pontoon bridge, on the north bank of Weishui, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared, which were Yang Zhao's guards in Guanzhong.

The leader was Zhong Xuan, and Zhuge Liang was by his side.

In the vicinity of Wuzhang Plain, Zhuge Liang led the troops to fight with Liu Bei, and if Yang Zhao was present, he would feel that this scene was very special.

"Kong Ming guessed right."

Zhong Xuan smiled and said: "Liu Bei will really personally come out of the best slope and get out of the slope valley, the first thing to do is to attack Yixian, all of which you guessed correctly." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The slope is the easiest to go, of course Liu Bei doesn't want to let it go, whether it is used to transport grain, or to lead the main force to fight out, it is the most suitable, and please Zhong Zhijun to order, you can do it." ”

They are around here, and Liu Bei has been waiting for a long time.

"Send machine guns and mortars, all of them."

Zhong Xuan said loudly.

The battle in Guanzhong is about to begin.
