    Cao Wei sent troops in three directions, one to Yongzhou, two to Liangzhou, and three to Jingzhou.  Jingzhou has the most powerful troops, but it is far away from Luoyang and Chang'an. It takes time for messages to be transmitted, and it also takes time for Sima Yi to take office, so it is naturally late to send troops. Of course, the first troops to enter Hanzhong were Cao Zhen and Zhang He from Yongzhou, and then Liangzhou  The army also moved south in large numbers.  In Liangzhou, Cao Cao's imperial edict to attack Shu had not yet arrived, and the distribution of Shi Xun had not yet been decided. Zhang Ji, Su Ze and others had a premonition and made preparations for a corresponding battle. When the order was given, they led the troops.  More than 20,000 Han Qiang soldiers went straight to the camp.  Pang De was guarding Xia Bian. He first heard that Zhang He had moved between him and Yangping Pass, cutting off his retreat. He then reported that the Liangzhou army was coming to attack. He couldn't help but sigh.  So he personally led his troops out of the city and counterattacked the Liangzhou army. He almost killed Zhang Derong with his long and thin arms.  Fortunately, Su Ze commanded well and responded in time, so he was able to save Zhang Ji and force Pang De back into the city.  After this battle, Zhang was frightened, so he took the seal and ribbon to Su Ze and said: "I am not as good as your Qing in making decisions before the battle. Now I will leave the siege to your Qing." So Su Wenshi commanded the army and surrounded the troops.  They stayed, built new thunder chariots, and attacked in turn. For four days in a row, many city battlements were destroyed.  As a result, the Wei army climbed up the city, but Pang De still fought to the death and refused to retreat. He first shot the enemy with his bow and arrows, and when the arrows were exhausted, they fought hand-to-hand.  His subordinates urged him to surrender. Pang De raised his eyebrows and scolded: "I heard that a good general is not afraid to die in order to avoid it, and a martyr is not afraid to destroy his integrity to survive. Today is the day of my death!" In the end, he exhausted all his strength and was captured by the young general Guanqiu Jian.  .  Zhang Ji also persuaded Pang De to surrender, and Jiang Xu also said: "In the past, when the general was in Liangzhou, Ma Chao killed many people, but the general loved the people. The people of Liangzhou always remember this. Now that Liu Bei is dead, Shu will be destroyed. If you are willing,  When he surrenders, he will report to the emperor and forgive his old sins. "Pang De spat: "I would rather be a ghost of the country than a traitor general." Because of his prestige, he was afraid of being robbed, so he was killed on the same day.  The Liangzhou army captured Xiabian and divided their troops to determine the counties of Wudu. Su Ze and Guanqiu Jian led their troops to take Yangping Pass directly.  Come and join forces with Zhang He.  Although the terrain of Yangping Pass is dangerous, there are too few defensive troops and horses. Chen Shi is already a bit stretched to deal with Zhang He. Suddenly seeing the Liangzhou Army flag again, he can't help but feel heartbroken. He writes three letters a day asking for help, asking Ma Chao to come back.  Rescue.  It's a pity that Ma Mengqi lacks the skills to respond.  Besides, Xun ordered Lu Meng to be the vanguard, entering the Han Dynasty from Baoxie Road and reaching the entrance of Xiegu.  The Shu Han built a large village near the mouth of the valley.  There are more than ten small villages, and according to their size, there should be two thousand people defending them.  But at this time, there were only more than 300 people left.  Lu Meng saw that most of the small villages were made of wood, so he attacked them with rockets, slaughtered them instantly, and then surrounded the large village.  Lu Ziming boasted about Haikou in front of Shixun, saying that as long as the governor enters Hanzhong, the battle will be won.  So he went into battle in person, with a card in his left hand and a long knife in his right hand, and climbed up the ladder with help. He was wounded several times and refused to retreat, and finally captured the fortress in one fell swoop.  By the time Shixun led the rear army into Hanzhong, Lu Meng had completely broken through the valley entrance and reached Baozhong City.  When Shixun saw that Lu Meng's body was covered with several wounds, he couldn't help but caress his shoulder and said: "I think General Ziming is an unusual fighting general. He rushes and throws arrows and stones. This is what Ziming should not do." Lu Meng said with a smile:  "In order to bring peace to the commander-in-chief, I am impatient. However, I am willing to kill thieves for the country. How can I distinguish between generals and fighting generals?" Then they rode together to see the enemy city.  After entering Hanzhong, Xun originally planned to show off and build a four-wheeled vehicle with a feather fan and turban to imitate the original Prime Minister Zhuge in history. However, after thinking about it again, most of the dirt roads were not smooth enough, and there was a lack of lightening in recent years.  Without the vibration system, the four-wheeled car may even break its butt, let alone the four-wheeled car?  The earliest literary image of Kong Ming is "riding on a plain carriage, wearing a Ge scarf and a white feather fan, commanding the three armies" - the carriage should refer to the horse carriage, but that is still the language of later generations.  And the war is still going on. If you accidentally become "Zhuge Liang with juice", it will make everyone laugh.  Therefore, he still wears armor and helmets, rides on horseback, and patrols with Lu Meng, Jushu and other staff officers.  After looking at it for a long time, Jushou frowned and said: "Baozhong and Nanzheng are only ten miles apart. They are dependent on each other, so it is really difficult to get together." The suggestion was Xun: "either to the west to meet General Zhang's entry into the pass, or to the east to connect with Cao Junhou,  Defeat Ma Chao first, and then attack the city." Shixun said with a smile, "Now that I'm here, why should Ma'er not leave?" "Shixun's current position is very important, and it is also dangerous.  Baozhong is about ten miles north and west of Nanzheng. The Baozhong River flows through the east of Baozhong City and the north of Nanzheng City. There are bridges on the river to facilitate communication.  In addition, Fazheng also built six small villages surrounded by mountains and rivers around the two cities, forming a complete defense system.  In other words, no matter which point the Wei army attacks, all other points can be supported in time, and all the defenders can gather into one fist to deal a heavy blow to the Wei army.  So what if we divide our troops to capture each stronghold?  Even if there are more than 10,000 people under Xun, it is really not enough.  From an important point of view, as long as the Wei army is near Chen Bingbaozhong and threatens Nanzheng, it can block the relief routes from the east and west sides at any time; and from a dangerous point of view,The Han army can also go around to the side of the Wei army at any time, cut off the valley mouth, and cut off the Wei army's food route - of course, this must be under the premise that Hanzhong is tightly defended. It is estimated that the two cities and six villages currently have only more than 3,000 defenders.  I don't dare to take such a risk.  Therefore, Shixun could ignore the retreat for the time being and send his troops west to capture Huangsha and Mianyang, and cooperate with Zhang He to attack Yangping Pass from both sides, or he could attack Chenggu eastward to support Cao Zhen.  Once any of the two Wei armies from the east and west join them, tens of thousands of them will have the possibility of storming Baozhong and Nanzheng.  At the moment, Hong Fu was paying attention to the map, frowning and asking: "What is the result of the two Liu's fight?" No matter which one wins, if they gather all their strength to save Hanzhong, the final outcome is still unknown.  Theoretically speaking, the other party is not stupid. They should suspend the brotherly feud and unanimously open up to the outside world - just like the Yuan brothers fought over Hebei in the original history.  But the problem is that the Yuan brothers are just fighting for the title of general. Now they are fighting for imperial power. Who dares to say that the issue of orthodoxy should be put aside for the time being and that we should unanimously deal with the outside world first?  Just like the later emperors and ministers of the Southern Ming Dynasty, they may not all be ignorant, but the power struggle led to endless internal strife, which allowed the Qing army to successfully cross the Yangtze River, which was impossible to achieve in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.  Lu Meng said that based on the reports from the past few days, it seemed that Liu Feng had the upper hand The Hanzhong Army Corps led by Liu Feng was originally the most powerful field force in the Shu Han Dynasty.  The equipment of the Chengdu garrison may be better.  On quality and training.  And combat experience, but there is more than enough.  In addition, although Wu Yi used Li Yan's plan to imprison Guan Ping and Guan Xing without killing them, and used the two sons as hostages to recruit Guan Yu's old troops, they were ultimately double-minded and refused to fight to the death - and Wu Yi also  It's impossible to really trust them.  Therefore, after a series of fierce battles, the losses on both sides were actually not too many.  The Chengdu army often collapses when it encounters the enemy. Even with the command of veteran generals such as Meng Da and Zhang Ren, it cannot stop.  Soon Liu Feng reached the gates of Chengdu.  However, there are currently nearly 10,000 soldiers in the city of Chengdu, and they have enough food and grass to last for more than a year. Liu Feng cannot defeat them even if they hold on firmly.  It is said that Liu Feng has promised that as long as he is willing to support him as emperor, he will pardon the crimes of Wu Yi, Li Yan and others, only demote them to the throne, and give Liu Chan and Liu Yong the title again.  Never do any harm.  However, there is currently no news of Chengdu¡¯s response.  Jushou believes that Wu Yi is likely to make certain concessions.  Prompt Liu Feng to go north to save Hanzhong, and fight with us first so that both sides will lose, and then he can reap the benefits of the fishermen.  But Liu Feng is not stupid, and it is said that Huang Quan is quite good at strategizing. As for what conditions Chengdu will offer to be satisfied, we still have to make many twists and turns and weigh repeatedly - but we really don't have much time left.  Shi Xunxin said that if I were Wu Yi, I would give Liu Feng the imperial seal and express my willingness to support him as emperor, but the premise is that you cannot enter Chengdu before defeating Wei.  People at the time may have valued things like status, but as Shixun saw it, strength should be put first.  Now that the strength is not enough, there is no point in holding on to the jade seal. It is better to use this jade seal to lure Liu Feng northward, so that he can take the opportunity to accumulate strength and reorganize his troops.  The Nanzhong area is probably out of reach, so further south from Chengdu, Qianwei, and Hanjia and other counties newly established by Liu Bei, they can still recruit thousands of soldiers by fishing in the dry lakes.  If Liu Feng really fights with us and loses both sides, Wu Yi will have a chance to defeat Liu Feng with 20,000 to 30,000 men, and even recapture Hanzhong But looking at the problem from another angle, if the jade seal is not in his hand, he lacks the righteousness.  , I am afraid that the morale of the army will not be guaranteed It is useless to think about it here. Regardless of whether Liu Feng can help from the north, the first priority is to accumulate strength first.  If Zhang He and Cao Zhen could be put into Hanzhong, they would have an army of 50,000 to 60,000 men, and they would not be able to fight against the elites of Shu.  Does the Shu Han have a total strength of 100,000?  They were stationed in various places, and excluding Chengdu's 10,000 people, it is estimated that Liu Feng's men would only be able to survive for 40,000.  If I can gain a foothold in Hanzhong, I will harvest autumn grain soon, and reinforcements from various places including Jingzhou will arrive one after another, and Hanzhong will be safe.  Even if the Shu Han cannot be destroyed this time and they can firmly occupy Hanzhong, the Shu thieves will withdraw like a barrier and can be destroyed at any time.  So which direction should we go first?  Now the only mobile corps in Hanzhong is in the hands of Ma Chao, who is fighting Cao Zhen on the eastern front - okay, let's go east first.  That is to say, he set up camp on the back of the mountain to the north of Baozhong to establish a strong defensive position, and then ordered Lu Meng to lead his troops to advance first to aid Cao Zhen.  But then good news came - Cheng Gu had fallen and Ma Chao had left!  It turned out that Ma Chao was forced to abandon Akasaka that day and retreat to Chenggu. Xu Huang did not stop at Akasaka, so he followed behind him.  Cao Zhen sent people to warn: "We must gather troops and horses before we can all advance." Xu Huang refused to listen and said, "Ma Chao has just arrived in the city, and his footing is not yet established. We should attack him quickly, or he may be able to break it."  And forward.  The south of the city is close to Mian River, with seven strongholds connected to it. Xu Huang raised his voice to attack the east stronghold and actually captured the northern stronghold. Ma Chao rushed Ma Dai to lead his cavalry to support, but Xu Huang fought back.  Ma Dai retreated to the city. Outside the city, there were nine deer antlers, so he moved those who were active into the city.However, Xu Gongming's two hundred cavalrymen all entered the formation and went straight to the bottom of the city.  The Shu army was all frightened. When Ma Chao heard that Xun was in peace, he thought that his retreat would be cut off, so he abandoned the city and crossed the Mianshui River in the south, hoping to return to Nanzheng.  At this time, Cao Zhen was afraid that Xu Huang would be defeated, so he rushed Zhu Gai, Yin Shu and others with hundreds of cavalry to come to the rescue. Xu Huang joined forces and attacked the Shu army on the Mian River, killing and wounding many people.  In desperation, Ma Chao did not dare to enter Nanzheng again. He was forced to pack up his remaining troops and withdraw from Hanzhong.  At this time, Lu Meng also arrived, and Xu Huang formed a pincer attack from east to west. Knowing that they could not defend, Liu Ning and Du Lu were forced to open the city and surrender.  Xu Huang asked Liu Ning: "When we were in Akasaka, the stronghold was about to fall but the general did not surrender. Why did he surrender today?" Liu Ning said, "I didn't know the general's power before. Now we have broken through the city siege, and all the defenders are gone."  I was so frightened that I didn¡¯t dare not to listen.¡± When the news of victory reached Shixun¡¯s base camp, Shixun felt that this battle was why did it look so familiar?  Oh, isn't this the way Xu Gongming defeated Guan Yu in Xiangyang and Fancheng in history?  !  (To be continued.)
