That night, Yangpingguan was full of meat.

Pity those elks, when they were alive, they charged for Lu Jing, and after they died, they had to fill the stomachs of the soldiers......

Fortunately, Lu Jing didn't kill them all, except for the casualties, the rest were included in the customs, and it was also to prevent Cao Jun from having someone who knew the "Gathering Beast Law" from designing it.

When the news came back to Nanzheng, Zhang Lu and Fan Xuan were of course very happy, but they were also a little worried about Cao Cao's future actions.

This is the overlord of the Central Plains, and his counterattack is bound to be fierce!

In the blink of an eye, the night passed.

Cao Cao's army came to the Xiahou Yuan pioneer camp and saw the mess all over the place.

- Lu Jingzhen didn't even leave a single deer hair for Cao Jun, only Cao Jun's corpse was in place.

Cao Cao smiled, he had already seen his ability and means from Lu Jing's past - treating the enemy unscrupulously could make him merciful to Zhang He, Zhu Ling, and Gao Zuo's subordinates, which was already a manifestation of Zhang Lu and his willingness to surrender, but if he couldn't take Yangping Pass and Hanzhong this time, Zhang Lu would strengthen his heart of secession, and it would be even more difficult to take this place again!

After laughing, Cao Cao took Xu Chu and Xu Huang to observe the ten-mile village built by Yangping Guan Tianwei and Zhang Weiyi Guan, his face became more and more solemn, and after returning to the camp, he couldn't help but sigh: "This heavenly place, the country of demons!" ”

He regretted it a little.

Before coming, the newly attached Hao clan officials in Liangzhou said that Hanzhong was easy to fight, and Yangping Pass was in disrepair for a long time, so it couldn't be defended at all, but when I looked at the scene, I found that it was not the same thing at all - this mountain is too sinister!

The soldiers and horses in Hanzhong are not to worry, and the tiger and leopard riders can easily push flat, but the terrain is so rugged and dangerous, although there are elite soldiers and tiger generals, they have no choice but to show it!

Not to mention that the pass can still be held, even if there is no Yangping Pass, it is not easy to directly attack the mountain and pull out the village, and the army cannot be arranged!

Not to mention, Yangping Pass is the first of the three passes of Bashu, since Gongsun Shu has been rebuilt in a big way, nearly two hundred years have passed, and you can still feel the vigorous vitality in the city, and the theory of disrepair is simply nothing!

This city is not easy to break!

Cao Cao had a headache.

Liu Ye, Jia Xu and other people of insight witnessed the topography of Guancheng and scolded the stupid forks in Liangzhou in their hearts, a group of wastes who have never fought, how can this be called a good fight? Can you give it a try? But there is no way, the army is coming, and you can only find a way to break the city, if you don't take it now, it will be too late for Liu Bei to take Yizhou, Yangping Pass can defend the north, but you can't prevent the south, and now you have to fight if you can fight!

"My lord."

Liu Ye hugged his fists and said: "The terrain of Yangping Pass is dangerous, Zhang Wei's camp is strong, and it is not advisable to attack strongly, so it seems that we can only find a way to defend the big array." ”

Cao Cao nodded.

Jia Xu said: "Yangping Pass Guarding the Great Array is called [Five Elements Flower Tree Array], the legend is that the first national division Li Xiong under the command of Gongsun Shu in the past led 3,000 Fu Array Divisions to build, can gather the city in a radius of 30 miles in the city, give birth to the thorns in the city, guard the pass and kill the enemy invincible, known as 100,000 male soldiers, now two hundred years have passed, even if it is in disrepair, it may not be able to break the ...... in a moment and a half."

The most important thing is that Cao's army is difficult to transport grain and grass, and the road is difficult, while the land in Hanzhong is fertile, there is no shortage of grain and grass, and the escort is simple.

The two are mutually exclusive, and Cao Jun can't afford to spend it.

In addition, Cao Cao has become the Duke of Wei, and the heart of the king is clearly revealed, and the old ministers of the Han Dynasty on the side of Xudu and Yecheng are not stable, and the war is long, and it is inevitable that there will be fires in the rear, whether inside or outside, whether it is the front line or the rear, Cao Cao can't afford to drag it out.

"The meaning of the two military advisors is ......"

Cao Hong frowned: "Start with the person who controls the eye of the formation, and control the big array first?" ”

Liu Ye and Jia Xu glanced at each other and nodded at the same time.

Sima Yiyan, the chief bookkeeper of the march, said: "Who is the person who holds the formation now? It shouldn't be that Lu Dongting. ”

Lu Jing took the lead in a sneak attack on the camp last night, and acting like this is not like a person who controls the eye of the formation, otherwise if he fails, it will be equivalent to handing over Yangping Pass to others, so the eye of the formation must be in the hands of an old and serious person in the city.

Xu Chu already had the information of the school affairs, so he took over the conversation and said, "It should be in Meng Fan's hands." This person is Zhang Luqi's junior disciple, Zhang Heng's disciple, although the martial arts realm is low, but his understanding is not bad, and he has cultivated a little-known secret technique of the Heavenly Master Dao "Thunder Shadow Clone", which is highly valued by Zhang Lu. Before Ma Chao and the others came here to guard the pass, Meng Fan had always been in charge, living in a simple place, and even the captain of the God Refining Realm could hardly find out his traces. ”

Xu Huang sighed: "It seems that there has been a precaution." ”

"Thunder Shadow Clone" is an advanced application of "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Formula", which can use thunder energy and external vitality to resonate to conjure up a clone that is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

This kind of secret technique does not add much to the attack, and the general disciples will learn "Thunder and Wind Walking" to go straight forward, and few people will bother to learn this bells and whistles fake, but this secret technique is a high trick to hide people's ears and ears, and it is designed to prevent assassination!

Zhang Luneng can rest assured that Yangping Pass will be handed over to Meng Fan, and this is it.

Cao Cao frowned, now the situation is really troublesome, there are Ma Chao, Zhang Wei and others stationed outside, and the weakness of the pass is not afraid of assassination...... He stretched out his hand and pressed the [Heavenly Sword] on his waist, his eyes narrowed, and the sword qi echoed in the tent.

Everyone pondered and looked for a way to break the situation.

"Lord, there is one more person available......"

Jia Xu spoke again.

The real top strategist is one who can't make a plan, regenerates a plan, has all kinds of insight into people's hearts, and can always find the enemy's weaknesses and help the Lord achieve what he wants.

Cao Cao's expression was straight: "What is Wenhe's plan?" ”

Jia Xu said respectfully: "Since there are no flaws inside and outside, it is better to focus on people's hearts." Lu Jing Lu Dongting is not tempted by fame and wealth, but it does not mean that others can do the same.

The minister heard that Yang Song, the chief strategist of Zhang Lu's subordinates, was the patriarch of the Yang clan in Hanzhong, who was greedy for money and selfish, and as long as the lord promised great benefits, he could not help us lure out the real 'battle holder', and then he could send the assassins of the school government to take the order to seize the pass, and break the defense of Hanzhong in one fell swoop! ”

Jia Xu didn't say that the Formation Eye must be in Meng Fan's hands, but asked Yang Song, the "Chief Strategist under Zhang Lu's Seat", to draw out the person who held the Formation Eye.

“？！”

A few words, like seeing the sun through the clouds!

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, the killing intent on his body gradually disappeared, and everyone in the big tent also understood and breathed a sigh of relief.

Jia Xu deserves to be Jia Xu, and when it comes to insight into people's weaknesses, he is really a top character.

Cao Cao immediately looked at Xu Chu and asked, "Is Yang Song also outside the city?" ”

Xu Chu hugged his fists and said: "No, he took 30,000 soldiers and horses to assist Meng Fan in garrisoning the pass." [Five Elements Flower Tree Array] needs to be assisted by soldiers. ”

"In this way, it is possible to enter the customs!"

Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "According to Wenhe's plan, now there are Ma Chao and Zhang Wei outside Yangping Pass, Lu Jing is bold and careful, and the matter of lobbying in the city needs to be properly planned." ”

Cao Hong immediately said: "The last general recommended Yang An to enter the city to surrender, he has Yang Xiong's family heirloom to the treasure [Zhuan Tupan], he can enter the city silently, avoiding the ears and eyes of the soldiers, and this person can speak well, and it is expected that he can move Yang Song to lure out Meng Fan." ”

Cao Cao nodded and looked at Xu Chu.

Xu Chu continued: "Assassination and murder candidates...... The last general recommended the 'four faces' of joy, anger and sorrow, these four people are Zhang Yan's disciples, practicing the Taiping Dao evil skill "Ghost Snake Miracle Gong", light and outstanding, fast as lightning, good at assassination, and familiar with the Taiping technique, knowing himself and the enemy, Lu Jing wants to find them, it is even more difficult! ”

Cao Cao nodded again: "Very good." ”

Liu Ye said: "In order to prevent everyone in the Heavenly Master Dao from noticing, you can send two generals, Pang De and Xu Huang, to lead the army to attack the city and attract attention!" ”

Sima Yi added: "Lu Jing should not be underestimated, he can send three more suspicious soldiers into the city, in the name of destroying the Five Elements Flower Tree Formation, to help the four faces to assassinate and seize the order!" ”

Cao Cao's men were full of talents, and they had enough manpower to make various arrangements to ensure that nothing went wrong.

This is incomparable to Lu Jing.

Everyone, you say a word, I say, a detailed and terrible plan has been formed.

Cao Cao followed the plan, and there was an undercurrent surging in the middle of the night.

……

Meanwhile.

In Dazhai in front of Yangping Pass, Lu Jing was looking at the topographic map in his tent, figuring out the direction in which Cao Cao's army might attack.

Zhang Qiying, who was lying in a kimono on the small bed next to her, had not slept yet, her two round eyes looked at Lu Jing, clear and smart.

In the tents on both sides are Wang Shuang and Hu Cong.

Lu Jing stared at the map with his eyes, picked up the five-flavor preserved food from the plate and sent it to his mouth, feeding it to the snake ink pupil next to the table from time to time.

It fought fiercely with Zhang He's black eagle, suffered a slight injury, and made the eagle claw scratch a long hole on its back, and the scales were scratched off, drenched in blood, very embarrassed, of course, the black eagle was not good, there were two more tooth holes in the claws, and the body was highly poisonous.

"See what?"

Lu Jing glanced at her helplessly: "Sleep well, there will be a big battle tomorrow." ”

"Can't sleep......"

Zhang Qiying shook her head, wrapped in a thin quilt, walked to Lu Jing and sat down, and looked at the map on the table with him: "Are you worried?" ”

"Who can not be worried?"

Lu Jing smiled and said, "That's Cao Cao." ”

“……”

Zhang Qiying opened her mouth, she wanted to encourage and encourage, but the one on the other side was too strong, even she, a perennial retreat, knew Cao Cao's exploits, leveling the Yellow Turban, Dinghebei, conquering Wuhuan, and collecting Jingzhou...... Kyushu in the world, has won six, everyone knows that the Han family is declining, and today, the overlord of the world who is most likely to end this troubled era is Cao Cao!

Fighting with such a person is not a small pressure.

Zhang Qiying couldn't say words of comfort, but just grabbed Lu Jing's hand and held it tightly, sharing life and death.

"It's getting bolder."

Lu Jing glanced at her, didn't pull it back, and let it go.

Zhang Qiying smiled, grabbed it tighter, and said, "After watching it for so long, do you have any eyebrows?" ”

Lu Jing stared at the map and frowned slightly: "Our army occupies the location of Guancheng, and it is invulnerable under the high view, as long as the defense is done properly, Cao Cao will not be able to take the pass by force...... Of course, if he uses some fourth-grade or even third-grade treasures, then he doesn't need to think about these things, just surrender. ”

"Haha."

Zhang Qiying covered her mouth and smiled: "Don't worry, it's not so easy to urge above the third grade, if it is really moved, it will also resonate with heaven and earth, and everyone knows it...... The four products are not enough to control this kind of large-scale battle, and the scope that can be suppressed by [Suppressing Evil Peak] is also limited, and it still needs Xiaodu Gongyin to be trapped before it can be started...... Cao Cao definitely has treasures, but don't worry too much. ”

"I hope so."

Lu Jing sighed, put down the brush, and shook his head helplessly: "It's a pity." ”

Zhang Qiying wondered: "What is a pity? ”

Lu Jing looked at Tunu and said, "It's a pity that there are not enough people...... Compared with the Central Plains, Hanzhong is too far behind in terms of both the quality and quantity of talents, and there are too many places that need to be defended and many places that are constrained...... Even if I guess Cao Cao's possible movements, I don't have so much manpower and prestige to deploy troops, and knowing it is the same as not knowing. ”

Zhang Qiying immediately said: "What do you want to do?" I'll help you come forward! ”

"You can't either."

Lu Jing looked at the map, stretched out his hand to point to a certain place, and said, "For example, these places are the key points of the [Five Elements Flower and Tree Array], all of which are supported by spiritual materials, and they need to be guarded by the Refining God Realm; There is also here, Yang Song is here, although this person is intelligent, but he forgets his righteousness when he sees profit, he must not be guarded, and he must send someone to keep an eye on it; There is also the mansion of the Seventh Uncle, he is responsible for defending the city, and he can't do without guards around him, and the stronger his skills, the better...... These are all flaws, but, so what? We are all here and may not be able to stop Cao Cao's army from attacking the city, so how can we be distracted to defend these flaws? ”

"This ......"

Zhang Qiying's face became solemn, and she was a little anxious: "What should I do then?" ”

"There's only one way."

Lu Jing looked at the map and said lightly: "The bottom of the kettle is drawn!" ”
