    On the Cao Wei side, Zhang Hetong, the general of Zhenxi, led the Yongliang coalition army of 15,000, and then dispersed through the pass and headed south.  This is the westernmost tunnel across the Qinling Mountains. In later generations, it was connected with Baoxie Road and was renamed "Sanguan Baoxie Road".  The starting point of the Kongdao is Sanguan. Because Gudaoshui (the east branch of the upper source of the Jialing River) flows out of the south of Sanguan, the Qin Dynasty established Gudao County here, so it is named "Sanguan Gudao".  ??Originally in history, Cao Cao took this road to conquer Zhang Lu. After leaving Sanguan, he first turned southwest and passed through Hechi and Wuxing (Lueyang) to reach Yangping Pass.  Wuxing Township is located exactly between Xiabian and Yangping. Ma Chao's small force left behind to guard the rear route and protect the grain road was unable to resist, so he hurriedly rode to deliver the news to the Majia military camp in Yangping City.  Ma Chao was shocked when he heard the report and said: "I didn't expect the Wei people to come so quickly. Now that I have Yangping in front of me and my back is cut off, am I going to die here?!" Ma Dai suggested that we turn around quickly and kill {3w  .Open a bloody road and return to Xiabian.  Someone immediately stood up and objected: "No, since the Wei people followed the old route of Sanguan, they will cut off Wudu's route south. When they return to Xiabiao, our army will be blocked from Chengdu. It will be dead. Can we defend it for a long time?" Ma Chao fixed his eyes.  At first glance, it turned out that this person was not him, but the envoy sent by Wu Yi. His surname was Wang, his given name was Guoshan, he was from Guanghan, and he served as a servant.  The romance says that when Guan Yu was guarding Jingzhou, Wang Fu was working under his command. Later, Lu Meng crossed the river in white clothes and Guan Yu was defeated, leaving Zhou Cang and Wang Fu to stay in Maicheng.  After Guan Yu died, the Wu army held his head under the city to persuade him to surrender. "Wang Fu shouted and fell into the city to his death."  In fact, this is also what the novelist said. In the original history, Wang Fu did assist Guan Yu in Jingzhou, but he was not killed at that time (maybe he was transferred in advance. It may also be that he was defeated and fled back to Shu).  Later, he followed Liu Bei to attack Wu.  Only then did he die in the battle of Yiling.  In this timeline, Wang Fu did not have much friendship with Guan Yu. On the contrary, he was a good friend of Fazheng, and he joined the Dongzhou Party because he was a native of Shu. Wu Yi sent him to persuade Ma Chao to respond.  also.  Wang Fu objected to turning back to Xiabian. He said that the war between Liu and Liu had not yet ended, the south was still fighting, and Hanzhong was empty.  Only with the ability to parry, it is difficult to fight back. Therefore, the Wei army came from the old route of Sanguan and probably established a firm foothold in the southern part of Wudu County.  At that time, with this Wei army behind him, the north will still have to face Cao Wei's troops from Liangzhou, and Xiabian will be a dead end - "For the present plan, the general must rush into Hanzhong to strengthen its defenses, or fight with the Wei people."  However, if Hanzhong is not lost, the Wei army will not dare to go south. When Liu Feng is defeated and the country is a little more secure, ask the general to go north to drive out the Wei people. " Ma Chao said what you want.  That makes sense, but the problem is that Zhao Yun won't let me enter Hanzhong. If I could capture Yangping Pass, wouldn't I have already captured it?  Wang Fu said with a smile: "I have a plan. Ask the general to make an appointment with Zhao Zilong to talk in front of the formation again. If so, and so, and so, then Yangping can go down and Hanzhong can enter." Ma Mengqi was overjoyed when he heard this, so he acted according to the plan.  , hurriedly made an appointment with Zhao Yun.  In front of the two armies, he said to Zhao Zilong: "It's time to report that the Wei thieves went south and broke through the pass to enter, which has already weakened my back. If Zilong doesn't let me enter the Han Dynasty now, my army will have no base in front and nothing to retreat to."  Accordingly, they will be defeated by the Wei people. Although each of them protects his master, both Liu and Liu are the late emperor Miao Yin, and our troops are all loyal and brave men of the Han Dynasty. Zilong can't bear to see his loyal bones buried in the wilderness. Even if the country is about to fall?  , How can I go to see the late emperor underground? " "In fact, Zhao Yun has just received news that Cao Zhen led an army of 20,000 people, marching from Ziwu Road to Shiquan in the south, and Niu Jin and Shen Yi also came from the east to kill.  Most of the Hanzhong army was taken away by Liu Feng and Huang Quan. He did not have enough troops at hand and could only barely hold Yangping. He really did not have the strength to rescue Shi Quan.  If the stone spring is broken, the Wei army can stride into the Hanzhong Basin. Let alone him, even if Sun and Wu are revived, it may be difficult to win.  When he was at a loss, Ma Chao sent someone to talk to him in front of the battle. Now after listening to Ma Chao's words, he thought that the Wei people were attacking from the east and west, and the situation was more critical than I originally thought What should I do?  So he advised Ma Chao: "If the general is willing to protect the prince, I will immediately open and close the door to welcome the general to the Han Dynasty. With one force, I can reject the Wei army. Now that the Wei people are coming, preparations must be hasty, and it will be difficult to gather food and crops quickly. If we can  If we rely on the mountains and rely on the danger, we will surely retreat after a month of fighting. The country can be protected, and we will live up to the kindness of the late emperor." Ma Chao shook his head and said that it was impossible - "I have been ordered by the general to protect the country.  Lord, can I return to Liu Feng in a hurry? Don't care who I am, just focus on my duties as a Han minister. Zilong lets me join the Han Dynasty and work together to fight against the Wei thieves. I won't retreat for a day.  If you don't go south to attack Liu Feng, Zilong will also stop going south to help Liu Feng. After the Wei people retreat, we can discuss the future - this is what the saying goes, "Brothers are jealous of each other, and they can resist their insults outside."  Zhao Yunxin said that if I really let you in, how can we "negotiate further" after the Wei army retreats? You will definitely annex my army and support Liu Chan.  But who becomes the emperor is not a big deal at the moment. If the Wei people break into Hanzhong and the country is about to overthrow, that would be the most terrifying thing After all, Zhao Zilong is not Liu Feng's best friend.??The reason why he supported Liu Feng was, firstly, according to what Liao Chun said, which was passed down by Liu Bei's will, and secondly, Wu Yi conspired to kill Guan Yu, and Zhao Yunnai swore not to be at odds with him.  In fact, deep down in his heart, he felt that as long as Liu Bei's son inherited the throne, there was no big difference between an adopted son and a bastard The key is that this banner of reviving the Han Dynasty must continue to be fought, otherwise he will follow Liu Xuande for half his life.  , all efforts are in vain, and the meaning of life will be fundamentally obliterated.  Therefore, he also hoped that he and Ma Chao could temporarily stop their troops and join forces to defend Cao Cao.  But if Ma Chao agreed immediately after he mentioned it, Zilong would still be suspicious: Is he sincere or fake?  You were so desperate that you had no choice but to give in to me, right?  Once you enter the border, will you fall out immediately?  Now Ma Chao rejected his suggestion to join Liu Feng, saying that we should fight against the outside world first and then settle down at home, and we will discuss the future matters later. Zhao Yun immediately believed it.  But he still wanted to ask one more question: "Is what the general said true? If I let the general enter the pass, we will defend Hanzhong together and not be able to annex it?" Ma Chao immediately pulled out an arrow from his quiver and said,  Looking at Zhao Yun's face, he folded it into two parts: "Your Majesty, if I break my oath, there will be arrows like this!" But then he added: "One country and three princes, with many orders, it will be difficult to win. After I entered the Han Dynasty.  Zilong should listen to my orders. "Zhao Yunxin said this is reasonable: for one thing, Ma Chao's troops originally had more troops than he currently controls.  Secondly, when it comes to old reputations (ignoring Wu Yi's appointment as General of Hussars and Liu Fengcai's appointment of General of Guards), Ma Mengqi was originally above him.  Moreover, Ma Chao puts himself first as a villain and then as a gentleman, and speaks first, which also makes Zhao Yun's perception of him improve a bit.  Immediately, he bowed his hands and saluted: "Yun Zi should be attached to General Jiwei, but he must obey the general's orders." Then he opened the gate, let the Ma army enter Yangping Pass, and informed Ma Chao of the Wei army's attack on Shiquan.  Ma Chao frowned and said: "In this case, we should return to Nanzheng. We can work together to defeat the enemy - we can make Chen Shi stay at Yangping to guard Zhang He." Zhao Yun had no objection to this, so he left Chen Shi to lead the three  Thousands of soldiers guarded Yangping Pass, and the remaining troops were combined into one and returned to Hanzhong County overnight to attack Nanzheng.  Ma Chao asked Zhao Yun on the road, saying that in the past, Fa Zheng built twenty-three forts in Hanzhong and assigned troops to guard them, in line with the "Zhou Yi heavy gate". I wonder what the situation is now?  Zhao Yun sighed: "Most of the main force went south with the prince and General Huang, and there are less than ten thousand left in Hanzhong today. And there are many new soldiers" Therefore, Zhao Yun was forced to shrink his troops and abandoned most of the camps.  The troops were gathered to defend Akasaka, Chenggu, and Shiquan in the east of Nanzheng, Huangsha, Mianyang, and Yangping in the west, and Baozhong in the north. Only these seven key passes were left.  However, Zhao Yun was quite confident in holding Hanzhong. Firstly, he had nearly 20,000 Ma Jiajun to help him. Secondly, he expected that Cao's army would arrive in a hurry and would not be able to supply food and grass supplies. As long as he held on to the cities, he could survive the most difficult month.  time, the opponent is likely to be forced to retreat after running out of food - "What I am worried about is that if Shiquan is lost, and if Akasaka cannot stop the enemy, the thieves can transport food from Jingzhou via Mianshui, and if the stalemate lasts for more than a month, and the grain in the fields is ripe, he may not be able to stop the enemy.  We are also worried about food transportation." Ma Chao twirled his beard in his hand and was silent for a long time before saying: "When we return to Nanzheng, we will gather all the generals to discuss the strategy." It was just before dawn when the army returned to Nanzheng City.  In the darkest time, as soon as the soldiers received the order to garrison, many of them were so tired that they refused to even set up camp tents and simply wrapped themselves in blankets and lay down under the eaves of civilian houses to sleep.  However, Ma Chao was still in good spirits and showed no signs of fatigue. He strode into the prefect's office and ordered Zhao Yun: "Quickly summon all the generals to discuss matters. Even those who have gone to bed must be awakened."  Lu Pianpi, including both the Hanzhong Army and the Wudu Majia Army, all gathered in the government office. There were nearly thirty people in the crowd.  Ma Chao first asked Zhao Yun to briefly describe the current situation. Then he looked around at the generals with a grim look and said slowly: "The Wei thieves are coming now and the situation is critical. If we cannot work together as one, Hanzhong will be lost. Hanzhong will be lost."  The Han Dynasty has established a 400-year-old foundation, and we are about to perish" He slapped the table and said, "I am discussing with Zilong that I will temporarily take charge of Hanzhong's military. Do you have any objections?" The Hanzhong army is about to be exhausted.  Everyone looked at Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun nodded slightly, and then first came out to bow to Ma Chao: "Yun is willing to obey the general's order." So all the generals bowed together: "I am willing to obey the general Ma's order." Ma Chao agreed, so first of all: "From Chengdu Xin  The leader can take the left, and the follower Liu Feng can take the right." Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard this, and asked quickly: "General, what is the meaning of this?" If you don't make a military plan quickly, why are you bringing up this problem again?  Didn¡¯t you say that we should put aside the dispute for the time being and speak unanimously to the outside world?  Ma Chao snorted coldly: "If your orders are different, you may not strictly follow my orders? How can I dare to use them with confidence?" Zhao Yun hurriedly argued: "As the general said yesterday, we will discuss what we are doing after retreating from the enemy. I will definitely obey now.  The general's orders are never second-guessed" Ma Chao interrupted him directly: "I don't believe it!" He only heard the sound of "Danglanglang".As soon as there was a sound, all the generals of the Ma Jiajun pulled out the Huanshou swords from their waists, half of them swarmed up, forcing Zhao Yun, and half of them stopped the Han Lieutenant General beside him.  Immediately, Ma Chao issued an order, saying that Zhao Yun was a party member of the usurper and might have the intention of rebelling and surrendering to Wei, so he should be imprisoned first - so Zhao Zilong, who was at a loss what to do, wiped his shoulders, folded his back, tied up with ropes, and escorted him down.  Then Ma Chao said again: "The new master from Chengdu can go to the left, and the one from Liu Feng can go to the right." Immediately, with a "hurrah", 80% of the generals rushed to the left, leaving only four or five people standing there, not knowing what to choose -  Naturally, Liao Chun was included among them.  Ma Chao was not polite and ordered all these generals to be arrested on the spot and imprisoned.  After clearing the team, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to formally discuss the defense of Hanzhong (To be continued.) ps: I have had a fever for three days, and it was fine during the day. At night, I felt cold all over my body, and my limbs were soft.  , I can¡¯t do anything - the problem is that I am most inspired and efficient when writing at night!  Fortunately, I still have my manuscript saved I went to the hospital today and the doctor said it would take five or six days to recover from the fever It's really terrible!  Please readers and friends, please give me some votes to encourage me.  Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
