Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

The Cao family was assisted by Chen Yang, and since the first battle in Wancheng, they have been invincible.

Their only failure may be Sima Yi's surprise attack and the betrayal of Cao Pi and others.

However, Chen Yang tried his best to turn the tide. Even if he lost a large piece of land, he could still consolidate his final position, and he would not be defeated by the joint attack of Sima Yi and Liu Yan.

If Jiang Dong wanted to make an enemy of Cao's family, it would be tantamount to making an enemy of Chen Yang, and even Jiang Dong would not be able to defend it.

It was not the right choice for Jiang Dong to betray the Cao family.

After the Battle of Chibi that year, if Chen Yang hadn't found out that Liu Bei was one of the murderers who killed Sun Ce, and Sun Shangxiang, whether they could hold Jiangdong is still unknown.

"My lord, my subordinates believe that we must not cooperate with Liu Yan, otherwise there will be endless troubles." Zhuge Jin said again.

Sun Quan pondered for a while, then slowly said: "I will think about this matter clearly, you go down first."

Seeing that Sun Quan didn't care about what he said, Zhuge Jin was very worried, but he couldn't say anything more, so he retreated temporarily.

Seeing Zhuge Jin's figure disappearing in front of his eyes, Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "Find someone to watch Zhuge Ziyu, if there is any change, please notify me immediately."

Beside him, a personal soldier came, and immediately went to arrange the action after clapping his hands.

Sun Quan took Zhuge Liang's letter and fell into deep thought.

He was hesitating and tangled, whether he could believe the content.

They are now working under the Cao family, and they are basically surrendering to the Cao family. There is no doubt that Zhuge Liang's letter has moved his mind.

Sun Quan occupies such a large area in Jiangdong, and he doesn't want to be willing to be subordinated to others.

The reason why people looked at Zhuge Jin was because he didn't want Zhuge Jin to have the opportunity to inform the Cao family.

However, Sun Quan did not immediately respond to Zhuge Liang. He put away the letter and waited and watched, not daring to rashly agree or refuse to deny it.

Time passed quickly, and several days later in the blink of an eye.

Zhuge Liang walked through Micang Mountain to the vicinity of Langzhong, echoing Zitong in the west.

He first ordered Zhang Fei to lead his troops to set off, stationed at Dangqu Mountain, and attacked Jiameng Pass according to the danger of the mountain.

Afterwards, Zhuge Liang went to Tiandang Mountain in person. This time, he was going to fight Chen Yang again, hinting in his heart that he must win.

"Military division, we still can't wait for Jiangdong's reply."

A personal soldier walked into Zhuge Liang's barracks and said cautiously.

"Jiang Dong hasn't replied yet?"

Zhuge Liang said indifferently: "It seems that Sun Quan is also a cautious person, and he dare not promise us rashly."

He had expected that Sun Quan would not agree so quickly, and he didn't take the rejection to heart.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhuge Liang wrote another letter and continued: "This time, take it directly to Sun Quan, and don't need to give it to my brother."

"Yes!"

The soldier left immediately.

"Pass down the order to let Yide attack Jiameng Pass first." Zhuge Liang said again.

This military order was quickly sent to Dangqu Mountain.

When Zhang Fei learned that he could send troops to attack, he immediately came down from the mountain, and the whole army gathered under the gate of Jiameng Pass.

At this time, the defender of Jiameng Pass was none other than Zhang Yun. Hearing that Zhang Fei was coming to attack, he directly set up an array to fight him outside Jiameng Pass.

Zhang Fei came prepared. In the first defensive battle, Zhang He failed and had to flee back to Jiameng Pass.

"General Zhang, I have sent people to find out. Zhuge Liang took the Micang Mountain, and the army was stationed in Langzhong. He first sent Zhang Fei to camp at Dangqu Mountain to attack Jiameng Pass. In addition, Zhuge Liang sent some troops Ma, he personally stationed at Tiandang Mountain, north of Jiameng Pass, and the rest of the people are waiting in Langzhong."

Xia Houshang quickly ran in and said that he is Xiahou Dun's nephew, and now he is serving as Zhang He's lieutenant general. Although it is Jiange, we cannot break out from the south of Jiange, they are trying to trap us here."

When Zhang He heard the news, he frowned first, and then snorted heavily, "How dare a mere villager Zhuge trap me here? Send me a military order. Let's attack Dangqu Mountain tomorrow morning and see how I can kill him." Wear Zhang Fei."

Xia Houshang hurriedly persuaded him: "Zhang Fei is a strong general in Yizhou. Dangqu Mountain occupies a natural barrier, and it is difficult to attack it. Don't be reckless."

Zhang Yun ignored Zhang Fei, shook his head and said, "What are you afraid of? We still have three artillery pieces at Jiameng Pass. No matter how steep the terrain is, we can't withstand the artillery bombardment. It's settled like this."

This is a military order, and Xia Houshang cannot tolerate opposition.

The next morning.

Zhang Yun only left Xia Houshang to defend at Jiameng Pass. He took 5000 men and dragged two artillery pieces to Dangqu Mountain in a mighty way.

"General, Zhang He is making an appointment at the foot of the mountain!"

On Dangqu Mountain, among the Shu army, a general named Lei Tong walked quickly in front of Zhang Fei.

"Zhang He is just a chicken and a dog. How dare he come to fight with me? It seems that killing him yesterday was not bad enough. Prepare wood and stones. If they dare to go up the mountain, they will throw them down for me."

Zhang Fei snorted coldly: "General Lei, you are on the path up the mountain, set up an ambush for me."

Zhang He and the others had just attacked up the mountain when they saw countless stones rolling down the mountain, killing many people immediately, and they had to retreat.

"General, I see that on the east side of the mountain, there is still a path that can go up the mountain."

A soldier pointed to the east and said.

"General, it's impossible!"

Another soldier shook his head and said: "There are easy ambushes on the small road, so rushing there is not good for the army."

The soldier just now said: "Zhang Jun's army is overwhelming, even if there is an ambush, it is vulnerable to absolute strength."

This sentence fit Zhang Yun's meaning very well, he was also eager to make meritorious service, no matter what the ambush was, he would directly lead his troops to kill him.

Sure enough, as soon as he reached the halfway up the mountain, Lei Tong's ambush soldiers killed him.

Zhang Yun couldn't beat the opponent, and the army was in a mess, so he could only flee and retreat, and returned to the foot of the mountain.

"Cannon, bombard me with cannon!"

Zhang He was a little annoyed, and ordered people to push the two cannons up.

boom!

A cannon sounded, deafening, and the whole mountain trembled, startling the birds in the mountain soaring into the sky.

However, the range of artillery is limited after all. Zhang Fei's garrison is at a high place, and he can't bombard the barracks. He wants to shorten the distance, but there are terrain restrictions.

What's more, the artillery exploded on the mountain, the stones splashed, and then rolled down the mountain, which injured many soldiers instead.

"Zhang He, take your life!"

At this moment, they were just about to go up the small path up the mountain when Zhang Fei led his troops to rush down.

But in the blink of an eye, Zhang Fei killed Zhang Yun's 5000 people and had to flee back to Jiameng Pass.

"General, Dangqu Mountain cannot be forcibly attacked. We should defend while asking for Badong's support." Xia Houshang came to persuade again.

"You're right, I was too anxious today."

Zhang Yun had to admit his mistake, nodded and said, "Pass me the military order to defend with all our strength. Otherwise, immediately send someone back to Xiangyang to ask for support."

In Jiameng Pass, there are cannons, and it will be no problem to block Zhang Fei's attack in a short time.

Zhang He sent ten men to leave Jiameng Pass, five to the direction of Padong, and five to the direction of Hanzhong.

However, out of the five people who went to Hanzhong, four were directly killed, and only one escaped back, but was also seriously injured. The plan to call for help was about to fail.
