    Xu Shu took all his money and taught him the secrets of war and the use of strange weapons.  Everyone devoted themselves to learning, and gradually developed friendship in private, and they all regarded themselves as brothers.  Unknowingly, it's early spring next year, and everyone is one year older.  Among all the people, Deng Ai and Guan Xing were both born in the same year and were nineteen years old, making them the eldest, followed by Wang Shuang and Xu Gai, who were seventeen years old.  Guan Suo and Wen Shun were fourteen years old.  Zhao Tong is the youngest, thirteen years old.

    ??The cold winter is over, spring is coming, and all things are sprouting.  Outside the city of Chang'an, drizzle falls one after another, the color is green, and spring flowers bloom, creating a vibrant and vibrant scene.  ,

    That day, Wen Han and Cai Yan were admiring flowers in the palace garden.  Cai Yan walked away with a slight smile, as age cannot change the beauty of her beauty.  I saw Cai Yan walking among the flowers, wearing a goose yellow brocade robe embroidered with phoenix border, a pink smoke gauze skirt mopping the floor, and a big red peony flower inserted diagonally in her phoenix bun.  The years are quite charming, but the charm is still there.  Seeing Cai Yan's slender waist and slight steps, elegant and quiet, with a little light in his eyes, Wen Han's heart was filled with ripples.

    The two walked for a few steps. Cai Yan slowly stopped and spoke to Wen Han in a soft voice.

    "Spring has arrived, will your Majesty go on an expedition soon?"

    Hearing this, Wenhan felt a bit ashamed in his eyes, sighed, and looked up to the sky.

    "Gu is the lord of a country. Millions of people in the Western Tang Dynasty, as well as the country's civil and military forces, all hope that Gu can pacify the world, wipe out the society, conquer the emperor's cause, and bring peace and prosperity to the world. How can I dare to achieve anything if I shoulder the expectations of everyone?  Neglect."

    "I have known this great responsibility from heaven. Your Majesty, please feel free to fight. I will wait for you in the palace."

    Cai Yan nodded slightly, Wen Han hugged him into his arms, and the two relied on each other.  It happened that a magpie flew over and stopped on a branch, chirping, which was very pleasant to hear.

    After half a year of preparation, all the baggage and military equipment are complete.  The officers and men of all armies recharge their batteries and wait for orders.  Wen Han ordered Shenlong Hou Guan Yu to lead 50,000 elite troops as the front army, and he led 100,000 elite troops, including Gendan Hou Zhao Yun and other generals as the middle army. He ordered General Zhang Liao of the Five Lions to lead 50,000 elite troops to escort back, and raised more than 200,000 troops, a mighty force.  Entering Hanzhong in a dangling way.  At that time, Wen Han ordered Huang Zhong, Marquis of Wuyi, to guard Hedong and Hejian.  Gao Shun, the pastor of Bingzhou, guards Bingzhou.  Five Lion Generals Xu Huang and Pang De were in charge of Yongzhou.  Tian Feng, Li You and other counselors went to assist each other to prepare the Wei State.

    At the same time, in Hanzhong County, Xu Rong had already prepared 30,000 elite troops.  Earlier, Xu Rong had received Wenhan's edict and sent troops to Jiameng Pass to join Wei Yan.

    In the same month, Cao Cao raised more than 300,000 troops and personally led the expedition to Jingzhou. He sent Xiahou Dun as the vanguard general and commanded 100,000 troops.  Cao Cao himself led a 150,000-strong central army, and Cao Xiu led 50,000 soldiers to escort the baggage and siege equipment as the rear army.  At the same time, Cao Cao ordered General Zhang Zha to lead 100,000 elite troops, together with generals such as Yu Jin and Le Jin, to march to Yan and Yuzhou to prepare for Soochow.

    The Wei and Tang Dynasties marched at the same time, with more than 600,000 soldiers from both countries marching to various places.  As soon as this news came out, the world was shocked.  Zhuge Liang quickly ordered Pan Feng to prepare for war and guard Jingzhou. He also sent envoys to Soochow and Nanman to ask for help.  At the same time, Zhuge Liang prepared his army in Xichuan. King Shu King Liu Bei personally led one hundred thousand elite soldiers, together with Zhang Fei, Taishi Ci and other generals, and rushed to the border between Zitong and Jiameng Pass to set up camps near the mountains and rivers in preparation for the war.  Not long after, the Barbarian King Ma Chao raised 80,000 troops from the Southern Barbarians and led the chiefs of the various cave owners to Zitong to assist in the battle.

    As for Soochow, King Sun Quan of Wu had already prepared 100,000 elite troops in Hefei, and ordered the governor Zhou Yu to lead the three armies, together with generals such as Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, and Lu Meng, to attack Yanzhou.

    In an instant, beacons of smoke were everywhere, and a world-ending war was about to begin.  Let¡¯s first look at the Battle of Xichuan.  But it was said that Liu Bei led his troops to the foot of Jiameng Pass and set up camps all over the mountains and forests.  Zhuge Liang ordered Zhang Hao and Wang Ping to lead their troops to secure strategic positions.  Zhuge Liang then taught Liu Bei that Jiameng Pass was easy to defend but difficult to attack, so he should seize it before the Western Tang army arrived.  Liu Bei heard this and asked Zhang Fei to lead an army to investigate first.

    At that time, Xu Rong and Wei Yan were guarding Jiameng Pass.  When the two heard that Liu Bei's army was arriving, Xu Rong led his troops out and met Zhang Fei's army.  When Xu Rong saw Zhang Fei's flag, he knew that Zhang Fei was brave and did not dare to underestimate the enemy, so he wanted to retreat.  After hearing this, General Wei Yan of the Five Lions glared and shouted sharply.

    "When the thieves first arrive, if they don't dampen their spirit first, how can they see the king of Tang?"

    Xu Rong frowned when he heard this, but did not answer yet.  Wei Yan had already jumped out of the formation, raised his sword, and challenged Zhang Fei to fight.  Zhang Fei laughed loudly after hearing this, galloped out of the battle formation, and shouted in a thunderous voice.

    "Chang Wei, who are you, who dare to offend Huwei!?"

    Wei Yan was furious when he heard this. He shouted in a condensed voice and Pegasus rushed forward.  Zhang Fei smiled coldly and clapped his horse to greet him.  The two horses crossed each other, and Zhang Fei rushed out with a spear. Wei Yan quickly dodged, and then slashed at Zhang Fei's neck with his sword.  Zhang Fei was already prepared and twisted his spear to resist.  The two of them stared fiercely and fought hard.  Zhang Fei was even more powerful and roared, like thunder exploding, forcing Wei Yan's dragon sword away.  Wei Yan's face was ferocious, he grabbed the sword tightly and was about to attack.?Zhang Fei's snake spear had already stabbed him.  Wei Yan hurriedly dodged and narrowly avoided it.  Seeing that Wei Yanfei was Zhang Fei's opponent, Xu Rong quickly ordered the withdrawal of his troops.  Wei Yan obeyed the order and retreated. Zhang Fei laughed wildly and took advantage of the situation to cover up the attack.  The Tang army was defeated.

    Xu Rong and Wei Yan fought to the death and escaped, leading their remaining soldiers back to the pass.  Zhang Fei won a great victory and returned to the stronghold to report. When the Shu army heard about it, their morale was greatly boosted.

    But he said that Xu Rong and Wei Yan returned to Jiameng Pass.  Xu Rong scolded Wei Yan.

    "You don't obey my order, you underestimate the enemy and you are defeated. How can you tell that you are guilty!?"

    Wei Yan looked unwilling and shouted with glaring eyes.

    "You and Zhang Yide were fighting against each other today. If it hadn't been for the general's order, I would have killed him long ago. Why did the general come to blame you!?"

    When Xu Rong heard this, he became furious, and the two started arguing.  In the end, it was Xu Rong who stopped his anger and spoke to Wei Yan.

    "Zhang Fei is so powerful that he cannot take it easy. The best thing to do now is to hold on to the pass and not to fight."

    Wei Yan was not angry after hearing this and yelled.

    "Everyone is afraid of Zhang Fei, and I treat him like a child! If you dare to come, I will capture him! Why are you so weak!?"

    Xu Ronghu stared, looked at Wei Yan coldly and shouted.

    "I am the commander-in-chief of the army, Chief Wei Wen, how dare you disobey my order!?"

    Wei Yan gritted his teeth after hearing this, but did not dare to make any mistakes.  Xu Rongsui ordered people to report the Shenlong Hou Guan Yu who was coming to Hanzhong, and at the same time taught the sergeants to guard Jiameng Pass closely.  Let's say that Zhang Fei won a victory and led his troops to the pass for several days to fight.  Tang Jun was unmoved.  Zhang Fei saw that the Tang army was not coming out, so he ordered his sergeants to attack by force.  Xu Rong saw it at the gate and immediately ordered the soldiers to fire arrows.  The random arrows were like a sudden rain, Zhang Fei hurriedly shouted to the sergeants to move away.  When Wei Yan saw that the Shu army was in disarray, he urgently remonstrated with Xu Rong.

    "General Xu, that army is in chaos. We can quickly send out elite troops to attack, and we will surely capture that common man!!"

    Xu Rong heard this, but thought that Zhuge Liang was always deceitful and might be ambushed, so he refused Wei Yan's request.  Wei Yan was extremely anxious when he saw Zhang Fei withdrawing. He repeatedly tried to remonstrate with him, but Xu Rong rejected them all.  Zhang Fei returned to the stronghold and made arrangements with Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.  After Zhuge Liang heard this, he slapped his fan and said with a slight smile.

    "Haha. This Xu Rong is cautious and steady, and he does not hesitate to serve as a general. No wonder Wen Bufan ordered him to guard Dongchuan."

    Liu Bei frowned when he heard this and asked in a solemn voice.

    "Now that Xu Rong is defending the pass, it will be difficult to conquer it for a while. How can we take Jiameng Pass?"

    Zhuge Liang pondered for a while and then taught Zhang Fei to do this.  Zhang Fei was overjoyed and accepted the plan.  In the next few days, Sergeant Zhang Fei ordered Wen Han to yell and scold him at the gate, accusing him of various crimes.  After hearing this, the Tang troops were all furious.  Wei Yan asked for battle several times, but Xu Rong took over.  After several days, the people inside the pass were filled with anger and hatred, and all the sergeants of the Tang army were filled with murderous intent.  After a while, Zhang Fei led his troops to arrive, and all the cavalry troops fell off their horses. The infantry turned around and sat down on the grass to rest.  Zhang Feigen was just under the pass, drinking wine as if no one else was around.

    It happened that yesterday Xu Rong heard that the sergeant came to report that Guan Yu, the Shenlonghou, had arrived in Hanzhong. Xu Rong wanted to return to Hanzhong to distribute grain and grass for supplies.  Before leaving, Wei Yan was ordered to stay on guard for ten days.  There is a saying that if after ten days, Jiameng Pass is lost, it has nothing to do with him.  However, if there is any oversight within ten days, it will be entirely his responsibility.  Wei Yan issued a military order.  Xu Rong just had no worries.

    At this time, Wei Yan saw Zhang Fei drinking in the pass, and the Shu soldiers took a break. They were so angry that they burst into rage, gnashed their teeth, and drank loudly.

    "Zhang Pifu bullied me too much!!"

    After Wei Yan finished drinking, he ordered all the soldiers and horses in the pass to go out and attack.  There was a sound of cannon, and Wei Yan led the army to rush out.  When Zhang Fei saw Wei Yan coming to kill him, he quickly ordered his soldiers to retreat.  Wei Yan took the lead and quickly rushed into the chaotic Shu army. He rushed left and right, killing pieces of blood, as if there was no one in the desert.  Tang troops came from all directions and hacked to death many Shu soldiers who could not escape.  The soldiers of the Tang Army each suppressed a murderous aura, just to vent their madness.  Wei Yan led his troops straight forward, chasing Zhang Fei all the way.  Zhang Fei led a remnant of his troops to flee in confusion.  Wei Yan followed closely and was about to arrive at a link.  Wei Yan suddenly recalled that Zhang Fei just ran away without any resistance. He was very weak.  Thinking of this, Wei Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized that he quickly asked the soldiers to withdraw.  The soldiers of the Tang army were just about to start fighting, but when they heard Wei Yan's order, they all lost sight of what was going on and retreated in panic.  At this moment, there was a loud roar in Linkou, and they saw Taishi Ci on the left and Zhang Ren on the right. Each of them led a troop of soldiers and horses to rush towards them.  Wei Yan looked horrified when he saw this. He secretly said that there was indeed a scam. He ordered his soldiers to retreat quickly and guard the pass.  Wei Yan led a group of troops to stop the attack.  Zhang Ren suddenly charged forward and stabbed with his spear as fast as the wind. Wei Yan twisted his knife to resist. When the two of them were fighting fiercely, Tai Shici came over with a thunder spear and stabbed him diagonally.  Wei Yan knew that if he did not block the offensive of the Shu soldiers and allow most of his troops to buy time to rush back to Jiameng Pass, Jiameng Pass would be lost.  It can be seen that Wei Yan first issued a military order, if Jia MengIf it is lost, his head will be hard to save.  Thinking of this, Wei Yan's heart tightened, he roared, his face was ferocious, and he fought to the death.
