Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 384 Yangping Pass

"Where's Yao Guang? Yao Guang!"

Xiao Chengzhi was furious at this moment, and wanted to settle accounts with Yao Guang who came with him.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chengzhi heard the bad news again, and Yao Guang led his troops to the south a few days ago.

This means that Xiao Chengzhi's department is now in an embarrassing situation where Helian Ding is in the north and Yao Guang is in the south.

Xiao Chengzhi, who was pinched from front to back, was a little dizzy at this moment, and at the same time, he quickly judged Yang Nandang's intention——

Hanzhong!

Now that Helian Ding is leading the troops, even if Xiao Chengzhi has a thousand reluctances in his heart, he still wants to fight Helian Ding on the front line.

At this time, Yang Nandang could sneak attack Hanzhong, which was guarding the emptiness, and expand Qiu Chi's power to Hanzhong.

As for what Yang Nandang would do in the future, Xiao Chengzhi also made a wild guess.

Seizing Hanzhong, relying on the natural danger of Yangpingguan, Qiu Chi has the confidence to resist Hu Xia.

At the same time, in order to please Hu Xia, Yang Nandang will also send a big gift to He Lianding to appease Hu Xia's anger!

Is there any gift that can win Helian Ding's favor more than a famous Liu Song general plus three thousand Song soldiers?

Yang Nandang, from the beginning to the end, regarded Liu Song as a tool that could be used!
Xiao Chengzhi realized the most crucial thing while being angry.

I must first find a way to escape the cage that Yang Nandang set for him and the three thousand Song soldiers.

"Bring a map!"

A faint flash of light flashed in Xiao Chengzhi's mind, but it disappeared quickly.

He must catch this aura as soon as possible, and then escape from the sky!

--------

Yang Nandang rode a war horse, wiped a Song soldier's neck, and looked at the food they had plundered with joy.

"Without these grains, Xiao Chengzhi won't last for a few days!"

Yang Nandang asked his own soldiers again: "Have you sent the letter to He Lianding?"

"My lord, the letter was rushed to Helianding's barracks yesterday."

The content of the letter was to ask Helian Ding and Yao Guang to attack Xiao Chengzhi together!

Yang Nandang was sure that He Lianding would choose to attack Liu Song among Qiu Chi and Liu Song!

He was too aware of Qiu Chi's status in the eyes of these people, he was nothing more than a small country that could only beg for mercy.

But Liu Song is the real life and death enemy for Hu Xia!
The annexation of Qiuchi only added tens of thousands of people. For Hu Xia, who occupies Hetao and Longyou, it is just a tasteless taste and a pity to discard.

But there is one member of the three thousand elite Song army, General Liu Song, and that is the real feast!
Not surprisingly, He Lianding will definitely agree to his request first, and join forces with Yao Guang to attack Xiao Chengzhi first.

During this time, Yang Nandang himself led the army to Hanzhong.

As Xiao Chengzhi guessed, Yang Nandang's target is Hanzhong!

"Although Wudu and Yinping counties are our ancestral lands, the terrain there is dangerous and it is not easy for the people to survive. It is even more difficult to face the enemy's attack from the east and north, and it is difficult to achieve a real king's career!"

"But Hanzhong is different!"

"Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, relied on Hanzhong to gain a foothold in the world!"

"Even if I can't send troops from Hanzhong to Sanqin to sweep Shenzhou like Han Gaozu, I can still go south to capture Shu and block it to raise strength and protect the tribe!"

"not to mention……"

It was Xiao Chengzhi's departure that really made Yang Nan decide to attack Hanzhong.

Xiao Chengzhi has been in charge of Shu for nearly ten years, and has a deep foundation in Shu.If he was still in Shu, he would not dare to send troops if he killed Yang Nandang.

Fortunately, Xiao Chengzhi is gone!
The general Song who succeeded Xiao Chengzhi was not yet in place.

Now there is only one King of Chengdu, Liu Yiji, who is guarding the land of Shu. This vassal king is still young. Yang can't believe that he and his elder brother, the Emperor Liu Song, are as monstrous as the Emperor Liu Song, and they can control the land of Shu at a young age!
So, Yang Nandang has a big appetite!
Occupy Hanzhong first to occupy Hu Xia.

Then seize the land of Shu to resist Liu Song.

This is the way out that Yang Nandang found for himself and for Qiu Chi!
Yang Nandang rushed eastward with all [-] soldiers of Qiu Chi, and soon came to a pass.

【Yangping Pass】

The prestige of this pass is due to the tug-of-war between Shu Han and Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, but it is not weaker than Tongguan, which is famous all over the world.

Yangping Pass is bordered by the Qinling Mountains in the north, and the Han River and Bashan Mountain in the south.

It is almost an impossible task to break through the Yangping Pass head-on.

From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, Yangping Pass was only breached three times from the side.

The first time was when Liu Yan, the shepherd of Yizhou, sent Zhang Lu to attack Yangping Pass from the north of the ancient Jinniu Road. He started his 20-year-long "Five Dou Rice Religion" rule.

The second time, Cao Cao led [-] soldiers to attack Yangping Pass, but was turned away. Later, he used a tactic of false surrender to lure the Yangping Pass defenders out of the pass to pursue and capture Yangping Pass in one fell swoop.

The third time was the most familiar Battle of Hanzhong between Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

In the same way as Zhang Lu attacked Yangping Pass, Liu Bei also secretly sent Huang Zhongnan to cross the Hanshui River, and defeated and killed Xia Houyuan at Dingjun Mountain, causing Cao Wei's army to be confused.Coupled with Cao Wei's lack of food and grass, he had no choice but to retreat, allowing Liu Bei to achieve the achievement of "defeating Cao Cao head-on for the first time in his career".

With the lessons learned from his predecessors, Yang Nandang will naturally not fight the Song army at Yangping Pass, but intends to imitate Zhang Lu and Liu Bei and cross the Han River south to capture Dingjun Mountain.

Yang Nandang urged the soldiers to take a detour through the mountain path, all the way to the north side of the Han River, and to build a boat to cross the river.

The upper reaches of the Han River are turbulent, and they are no less dangerous than the middle reaches of the big river. If you want to cross the river, you must be careful.

None of Qiu Chi's soldiers had ever walked on such a dangerous waterway, and all of them looked pale on the crumbling boat, silently praying in their hearts to reach the land on the other side as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the boat was built strong enough and did not encounter the undercurrent vortex in the water. The first batch of soldiers were sent to the other side safely. This good first step made Yang Nandang heave a sigh of relief.

Sudden.

There was a loud noise on the opposite river bank, and countless soldiers of the Song army came from the jungle. The soldiers of Qiu Chi who were not ready were driven by the Song army to Hanshui to feed the fish in a daze.

After the Song army armed with swords and shields cleared an open space, crossbowmen armed with crossbow machines rushed up and greeted Qiu Chi's soldiers who were still in the middle of the Han River with dense rain of arrows.

Because of the panic, Qiu Chi's soldiers on the boat were gradually unable to stabilize their bodies, and after a few screams, they and the boat were swallowed up by the Han River.

Yuan Huzhi looked at the soldiers of Qiu Chi who fled in a hurry on the other side, dug his ears unconsciously, and said with a little sarcasm: "Who hasn't read "Three Kingdoms"...you can think of sneak attacking Dingjun from Hanshui Shan, didn't I think of setting up an ambush here earlier?"

"Ah."
