When Jia Meng was closed, Duan Dahu had already seen the monstrous fire in that place, pointed in the direction of that place and asked Fa Zhengdao beside him, "What direction is there?"

Fa Zheng pondered for a while and said: "Look at that direction, it should be the direction of Dingjun Mountain, Tiandang Mountain." ”

"Tiandang Mountain is the place where the Hanzhong army stores grain, if the Cao army in Hanzhong runs off the grain and grass, it will be of great benefit to our army, send a few more scouts, quickly send a few more people to investigate, I want to see who tied us up for this great favor. Duan Dahu said with a smile.

Huang Zhong on the side said: "Lord, I'll go down and arrange someone to investigate." ”

Compared with Tianming, many scouts found out the news: "Last night, a raging fire broke out in Tiandang Mountain, and all the grain and grass on Tiandang Mountain were burned by unknown people. ”

Duan Dahu looked at the map hanging on the wall in front of him and said: "Cao Cao did not take this opportunity to take Hanzhong, only sent Zhang He, Xiahou Yuan's generation to come to Hanzhong to help, this is his own lack of consideration, now Zhang He has been defeated repeatedly, Tiandang Mountain's grain and grass have been lost, this is a godsend, I want to personally lead the army out of Jiameng Pass, must take Hanzhong, what do you think?"

Fa Zheng nodded and said: "The lord is right, this is a heaven-sent opportunity, so Hanzhong will definitely be at your fingertips." ”

The generals also felt that it was a good time to march to Hanzhong at this moment, and they all nodded yes.

Outside Jia Meng Pass, Zhang He, Han Hao, and Xiahou Shang heard that Tiandang Mountain was attacked, and they couldn't help but panic, and everyone was a battle-hardened general, knowing what the loss of Tiandang Mountain meant to them.

Zhang He pondered for a while and said: "If you take Hanzhong, Dingjun Mountain is a must-pass place, I think we might as well go directly to Dingjun Mountain." Help General Xiahou Yuan garrison Dingjun Mountain. ”

Han Hao and Xiahou Shang had already lost their opinions at this moment, and when they heard Zhang He say this, they also felt that it was very reasonable, and they withdrew towards Dingjun Mountain overnight.

Duan Dahu sent Huang Zhong, Yan Yan, and others, all of them lightly armed, chasing Zhang He's army, the soldiers were fast, and the morale of Zhang He's soldiers was low, and they were caught up by Huang Zhong after chasing more than 20 miles, and they were killed for a while.

In the midst of the chaos, Xiahou Shang and Han Hao bullied Huang Zhong and Yan Yan for their old age, and stepped forward to provoke the two, wanting to kill the two veterans to make meritorious contributions, but who would have thought that the battle would have twenty rounds.

Where the knife fell, Han Hao slashed Huang Zhong to death under the horse, Xiahou Shang was shocked and wanted to escape, but was caught up by Yan Yan, and the big Yue in his hand smashed down, until Xiahou Shang's brain was shattered, and the body fell off the horse.

Zhang He didn't dare to fight, only galloped to Dingjun Mountain, Huang Zhong, Yan Yan won a big victory, morale was flourishing, taking advantage of the victory, Duan Dahu raised 100,000 troops, out of Jiameng Pass, and went to the camp. summoned two veterans, Huang Zhong and Yan Yan, and rewarded them generously.

In the camp, the military generals of Wenchen were surrounded by it, Duan Dahu was wearing Confucian armor, and pointed to the map hanging on the wall with a withered branch and said: "If you enter Hanzhong, it is convenient for the army to gallop vertically and horizontally, and you must take the Yangping Road, but if you want to open up the Yangping Road, you must take the Dingjun Mountain here, and our army can drive straight into Hanzhong." ”

"The lord said very much, there is still a part of the grain and grass hoarded in Dingjun Mountain, if you take Dingjun Mountain, you can kill two birds with one stone!"

"My lord, I am willing to go and take Dingjun Mountain. ”

Duan Dahu looked at it intently, it was indeed Huang Zhong, Duan Dahu was overjoyed and said secretly in his heart: "Is it possible that the capture of Hanzhong will fall on this old general." ”

But he said: "By all means, Xiahou Yuan, the guard of Dingjun Mountain, is well versed in Tao strategy, good at knowing military aircraft, not Zhang He can compare, he had previously stationed troops in Chang'an, rejected Ma Mengqi, and now he has stationed troops in Hanzhong, helping Zhang Lu to reject my army, and Cao Cao did not come in person, which shows that in addition to the absolute trust in Xiahou Yuan's use of troops, the two old generals are very old, and the day before yesterday they relieved the siege of Jiameng Pass, and they are still in the army to rest and recuperate." This time, Yun'er has to come out. ”

The implication is that the old general will accept it when he sees it.

Huang Zhong said: "At that time, Lian Po was eighty years old, and he was still able to fight in eclipses, and the princes and countries of ten catties of meat were all afraid of his courage and did not dare to violate the borders of Zhao State, not to mention that the old man was only seventy years old now, I don't want the deputy general to mention only 3,000 soldiers and horses, go to Dingjun Mountain, and will take Xiahou Yuan's mobile phone under his command." ”

Duan Dahu persuaded again and again, but Huang Zhong still wanted to go, and couldn't help but say: "Since the old general has to go, I will accompany the old general as a supervisor to go together, so that we can take care of each other." ”

Duan Dahu respected Huang Zhong as a teacher, Huang Zhong was so old that Huang Zhong would never be allowed to make any mistakes, so he made this request.

Seeing Duan Dahu's appearance, Huang Zhong knew that if he didn't agree, Duan Dahu would never allow himself to go, so he had to nod and agree.

Taking advantage of the stall where Huang Zhong went down to prepare, Duan Dahu secretly instructed Zhao Yun: "Yun'er, you lead a team of soldiers and horses behind, and take advantage of the cover of the dangerous mountains and rivers to meet us. ”

After all, Duan Dahu is still jealous of Xiahou Yuan, the confrontation between the two armies is not a blind competition for the level of force, and there are thousands of soldiers behind him, as Duan Dahu's pace of unifying Xishu is getting tighter and tighter, Duan Dahu deeply feels that there are more and more things he needs to consider.

Just in case, Duan Dahu still made two preparations.

Zhang He went to Dingjun Mountain to defect to Xiahou Yuan, and when he talked about Tiandang Mountain, he thought about it, but he didn't think of who set fire to Tiandang Mountain.

Speaking of Yang Song, the two couldn't help but grit their teeth with hatred, and Zhang He said: "Duan Dahu personally led the army to Hanzhong, and he could quickly report to the prime minister, so that the prime minister could send troops to respond early." ”

Xiahou Yuan nodded, Duan Dahu's strength was great, except for asking Cao Cao to send troops to respond, there was no other way, and he quickly sent someone to report to Cao Hong of Nanzheng, and Cao Hong sent someone to Xu Capital in the starry night.

Xu Du, Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao looked at Cao Hong's letter with a solemn face, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "Duan Dahu, Duan Dahu, you are really my good brother Cao Cao." ”

"Tiandang Mountain has been lost, and I want to lead the army to rescue me, what do you think?" Cao Cao asked everyone.

There was still silence when he answered, and Cao Cao didn't care, looking at Sima Yi who was dozing off at the bottom of the stairs with interest, and asked, "Zhongda, what do you think?"

I don't know when, Cao Cao's jealousy of Sima Yi turned into respect, and every time Sima Yi's strategy can hit the point just right, even Cao Cao himself has to admire.
