Great Han Empire

Chapter 990 Chapter [-]
The battle is drawing to a close.

Li Hong rushed up a small hillside with his personal guards, put the spear in his hand upside down on the ground, hugged Li Xiu and got off the horse.Li Xiu was still in shock, her face was pale, and she shook Li Hong's shirt.Li Hong helped her to sit down slowly, and gently stroked her back.Li Xiu's thoughts were still immersed in the fight just now. She felt that her thin body was still trembling in her father's arms, that the enemy's screams were still echoing in her ears, and that the blood-spitting heads were still in front of her eyes. fly.The blood and cruelty on the battlefield deeply stimulated her, and made her fall into extreme pain and helplessness.

Yan Ba ​​and Pang Hui waited for a group of children to come on horseback, shouting excitedly.This is not the first time they have been on the battlefield. When they fought against Luoyang two years ago, they had already experienced the majestic siege battle. Can adapt to the battlefield faster.

Amidst the deafening cheers of the soldiers, the little emperor galloped wildly while waving his hands and roaring. Wherever he went, trumpets and drums sounded, and battle flags danced wildly.

"General, we have won the battle. The Qiang thieves are all dead, and we have killed them all." The little emperor excitedly ran to the side of the general and shouted happily.

There was no joy on Li Hong's face. He slowly raised his head and looked at the battlefield in the distance, without speaking for a long time.

"General..." Xiao Tianzi's smile gradually faded, and he called out in doubt, "Did we fight well?"

"Your Majesty, do you know why these Qiang people invaded the Han?" Li Hong asked suddenly.

"Because they are bad people, they are brutal and greedy, they want to occupy our territory, they want to enslave our people."

Li Hong was silent for a moment, and then asked again: "We have been fighting with the Qiang people for more than 100 years. They have been defeated repeatedly, but they have been defeated repeatedly. Why?"

The little emperor thought for a while and pointed to the surrounding mountains, "Because they are too poor. Although their homes are very beautiful, they are deserted and have nothing. If they want to live a good life, they can only rob, burn, kill and loot."

"Thousands of miles, it's not in vain." Li Hong looked at the little emperor in surprise, nodded repeatedly, with a look of relief on his face.

The little emperor rubbed his face in embarrassment, "We walked for four months. Except for a few ruined cities, we didn't even see a ghost on the road. There were mountains and forests everywhere. If it wasn't for Yuzhong and here After fighting two battles, I thought that there were no people in Xijiang. Can people live in this place?"

"People can live in this place, and there are people living in places with worse conditions than here, but..." Jia Xu sighed, "The people who live in these places have been struggling with hunger and cold for generations. Fight against the sky and the earth, but when the heaven and the earth no longer have mercy on them and abandon them, they can only go out of this land to find a better place to live."

The little emperor and a group of little guys looked up at the blue sky and the lush and beautiful forest, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness and helplessness in their hearts.Although the homeland is beautiful, it cannot bear the weight of life. As her descendant, she cannot leave here, but she must try her best to survive, and the price of living is not only death, but also the disaster of family extinction. The disaster of destruction is like today's big and small Elm Valley. When thousands of corpses lie on the land they once struggled for, have their souls given up their desire and pursuit of survival?
"We have been fighting the Hu people in the desert for hundreds of years..." Li Hong said with emotion, "In the past 100 years, we have fought desperately with the Qiang people. Why? It is all for survival, for the land to live, for struggle for the right to survive."

"The barbarians want to survive. In order to survive, they robbed our land and slaughtered our people time and time again. What about us?" Jia Xu's eyes were piercing, scanning the faces of the little emperor and children one by one, "We too In order to survive, in order to be able to live, in order to be able to live better."

"As long as we can survive, no matter how much the price is paid, all living beings in the world will go forward and continue, even if their bodies are broken." Li Hong looked at the thoughtful little emperor and said in a low voice, "We Han people are the same. Resisting the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, there were Chen Sheng and Wu Guang before, Gaozu and Xiang Chan later, and heroes from all over the world flocked up. 200 years ago, Wang Mang was in chaos. 20 years ago, the Yellow Turbans rebelled and the country was in turmoil. 15 years ago, Dong Zhuo brought disaster to the country and Han Zuo was on the verge of collapse. We fought bloody battles and struggled hard. For what? To survive is to survive.”

"Whether it's a struggle for power, interests, or territory, in the final analysis it's a struggle for survival." Jia Xu smiled wryly and looked up at the sky, "Yesterday, the Qiang people killed us, and today we kill the Qiang people, who is right and who is wrong ? In the face of survival, there is no right or wrong."

Li Hong turned to face the battlefield full of corpses, and was speechless for a long time.

The little emperor and everyone stood around him, silently looking at the battlefield full of dead bodies, with solemn expressions, the excitement and joy just now had long since disappeared.

"The purpose of the battle for survival is to live, to allow life to continue..." Li Hong patted the little emperor's back lightly, and said solemnly, "If you lose your life, what's the point of the battle for survival?"

"When you stand in front of these corpses, when you cheer for your own victory, you also mourn for the bloody and cruel existence. You should let everyone avoid this endless killing, We should do our best to let everyone live...to live is the ultimate purpose of our killing and the meaning of existence."

The little emperor nodded repeatedly with half understanding, but he understood one thing, if everyone can live and live better, there will be no killings, no such bloody events. The cruel killing will not let one life after another fighting for survival disappear in smoke.

According to the agreement, after the Han army surrounded and annihilated the armies of various Qiang tribes such as Zhongcun and Laojie, and killed the leaders of Qiang tribes such as Licai and Chadu, the tribes, properties and territories of these various tribes belonged to Baimaqiang and Shenlang. Qiang all.Not long after the battle in Yugu Valley ended, the little emperor summoned Lei Biao and Yufeng, fulfilled their promise, and asked them to immediately send people to visit Huangfu Li, the governor of Liangzhou, and Zhang Ji, the prefect of Longxi, to discuss the details of gradually moving into the territory of the Han Dynasty. matters.

It has been 20 years since Bianzhang and Han Sui started the incident in Liangzhou. In these 20 years, there have been endless wars in the border counties, and there are no people living in the desert. Trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty, the only way to quickly stabilize Western Xinjiang is to appropriately and gradually move in the Qiang people, allowing the Qiang people outside the country to belong to the Han, and allowing them to live a life of food and clothing that they dream of.

The emperor and the general wrote to the imperial court, describing the current situation in western Xinjiang in detail, asking the imperial court to do everything possible to raise money and food, to increase comfort and relief to the counties in western Xinjiang, and to strengthen the supervision of officials at all levels in western Xinjiang. If it is found that there are those who are corrupt and pervert the law, and those who bully and oppress the Qiang people, they will be severely punished, and they will resolutely avoid repeating the mistakes of the century-old war in Xiliang.

At the end of September, Nie Xiao and Baili Yang, who stayed in the Hehuang area to look for the main force of the Qiang people, urgently called the general. Hongri's iron cavalry appeared near Anyi City, and the general asked for immediate support.

Li Hong was overjoyed and ordered Pang De and Ma Chao to lead their troops straight into the area of ​​Qiang City to cut off the retreat of the Qiang people. He ordered Yan Rou and Jiang Wu to lead their troops to Anyi City to hold back the main force of the Qiang people. Qiu and others led an army of infantry across the Yellow River westward and rushed to the battlefield.

The next day, the emperor and the general led the Huben Yulin Camp, Changshui Camp and Yueqi Camp to leave Guiyi City and gallop across the Weishui River.

September, Northern Xinjiang.

The central Xianbei was destroyed after some of its tribes fled to the Great Xianbei Mountains, and its leader Kebi Xiong and his army fled to Youzhou.Fuluohan, Shelong, Jiamo, Queji and others immediately discussed to carve up the central Xianbei.

At this time, Shelong proposed to rebuild the Xianbei royal court, and elected Fuluo Han as the great Xianbei king.The reason for Shelong is that the leopard will not sit idly by about Kirby bear, and he will not allow the Xianbei people in the desert to challenge his authority. Gamo, Shelong and Fu Luohan will all become the prey of the leopard. If we want to survive, we can only work together.

Que Ji, Su Li and others disagreed.They didn't have the ambitions of Fu Luo Han, nor did they have the confidence and courage to dominate the desert. They just wanted to live a peaceful life in Xianbei in the east.The reason why they wanted to take advantage of Mi Jia's death to get away from Kirby Bear was precisely because Kirby Bear's ambitions had endangered the safety of the eastern Xianbei tribes, so they had no choice but to do so.

Fuluohan and Shelong tried their best to persuade him.Su Li snorted, "When the leopard was famous in the desert, you were still wearing crotch pants, you know what a fart. Do you know how powerful he is? Unless he is dead, don't try to take back the desert. It will only bring harm to the Xianbei people. Annihilation."

Jiamo, king of Xianbei in the east, is young and energetic. Like Kirby Bear, he has a very strong desire to dominate the desert.Today, the Han Dynasty is in chaos, and the leopards are attacking the Qiang people in the western border. This is the best opportunity to unify the desert and rebuild the hegemony of Xianbei.Jia Mo was persuaded by them, but in order to get the support of Que Ji, Su Li and Huaitou, Jia Mo proposed a better way.

The Xianbei Royal Court can be rebuilt, and the Great Xianbei King can be promoted together, but before the Xianbei tribes have not fully formed an alliance, before the Xianbei tribes have fully recognized the Great Xianbei King and the Xianbei Royal Court, and before the Xianbei people have formed a joint force, we still have It is impossible to compete with the leopard, so at this moment, we should first maintain a friendly relationship with the Han Dynasty, and make a statement to the Han Dynasty, asking the emperor of the Han Dynasty to recognize the status of the Great Xianbei King and the Xianbei Royal Court and bestow entrustment.

As long as the big Han recognizes the Great Xianbei King and the Xianbei Royal Court, as long as the desert remains stable, the leopards have no reason to send troops, and we use this time to form an alliance with the Xianbei tribes, accumulate strength, wait for the opportunity to launch the final fatal blow, and completely wipe out the Han people. Drive out of the desert and regain control of the desert.

Gamo's strategy is flexible and reliable, and has a great chance of success, Que Ji and Su Li are moved by it.Who doesn't want the Xianbei to dominate the desert?Who wouldn't want to restore its former glory?
Next, Fuluohan, Shelong, and Jiamo formulated a series of specific implementation measures.

Send people to Xianbei in the north to contact Tuobatao, king of Xianbei in the north, and Budugeng, king of Xianbei in Hexi to seek support and alliance.

Send people to persuade Baishan Karasuma Marshal Nengchen Di and Daijun Karasuma leader Xiuwulu, ask them to attack Baishan Karasuma Grand Chanyu Loulu and Shanggu Karasuma Bailu Wang Lupofeng, and secretly help each other, so as to contain the Han army , to attract the attention of the Han Dynasty.

Send someone to contact Lou Ban, the leader of Liaodong Karasuma, and secretly help him defeat Tadun's son Dunjie, help him sit on the position of Karasuma Grand Chanyu, and take the opportunity to severely damage Liaodong Karasuma and the Liaodong Han army.

Send people to Fuyu State, bribe Wei Qiutai with heavy gifts, ask him to take advantage of the chaos to threaten the Han border, attract Han troops, help Louban quickly defeat the Liaodong Han army, force the Han Dynasty to recognize Louban's status as a great chanyu, and then pass Lou Ban came to protect the eastern part of the desert and reduce the threat of the Han army to the desert.

Send someone to assassinate Kirby Bear, She Yingtong and Shehu.These three people are all closely related to Leopard. Killing them can hit Leopard's strength and weaken his control over the desert to a certain extent.

Send people to Youzhou and Chang'an in a hurry to explain the situation in the desert to Xianyufu and ease the conflicts between the two sides; to plead guilty and offer tribute to the Han emperor, and seek recognition and rewards.

Xian Yufu saw through Fu Luo Han's intentions at a glance. He wanted to counter Fu Luo Han, causing the Xianbei tribes in the desert to immediately become chaotic, and let the Xianbei people kill each other.

Xian Yufu told Fu Luo Han's special envoy that the emperor of Han Dynasty would not admit it, let alone confer Fu Luo Han the Great Xianbei King.

The desert is the desert of the Han Dynasty, and the Xianbei tribes on the desert are the people of the Han Dynasty, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty will never bow to rebellion.The Son of Heaven of the Great Han has already issued an edict to the world, to all the tribes of the Hu tribe in the desert, that Fu Luo Han is the rebellion of the Da Han, and Shelong is the rebellion of the Da Han.

Xian Yufu said that the battle between Kebi Xiong and Jia Mo was an internal affair of the Eastern Xianbei royal court, the battle between Dunjie and Lou Ban was an internal matter of the Liaodong Shanyu court, and that between Lou Lu and Nengchendi The fight is an internal affair of the Baishan Shanyu Court. Even if they fight to the death, it is only an internal conflict, not a betrayal of the big man, but Fu Luohan and Shelong openly attack the Xianbei in the central part, which is treason This act is unforgivable.

Xian Yufu solemnly warned all the tribes of the Hu tribe in the desert, whoever dared to support Fuluohan and Shelong would be acting as a conspiracy, and the big man would definitely be killed.

=

At this moment, Budu, the king of Xianbei in the west, has even gone to Chang'an, expressing that he will guard Hexi for the big man and will never participate in the rebellion of Fuluohan and Shelong.Tuobatao, king of Xianbei in the north, also wrote to Xian Yufu that the iron cavalry of Xianbei in the north had assembled, and they were stationed in Jinxueyuan together with General Yingyang and the Ula cavalry who guarded the iron axe in Mobei, waiting for the dispatch of the emperor at any time.

At the end of September, Xian Yufu's envoys rushed to Wuhou Qinshui, read out the imperial decree of the Han Dynasty, and on behalf of Xian Yufu advised Jia Mo, Que Ji, Su Li, Huaitou and others not to try to dominate the desert and not to anger the general.The Qiang people in western Xinjiang have been defeated in a row and are dying. The general and his cavalry will enter the desert next spring. will forgive you.

Jiamo was secretly frightened, not daring to respond.Su Li patted her big belly, and shouted to the messenger, go and tell Master Xianyu that we can fight Fu Luo Han and She Long, and ask Kebixiong to give us Wuhou Qinshui.Back then, Master Mi obeyed Murong Feng’s last order and helped Kirby Bear wholeheartedly, but Master Mi had just died, before his bones were cold, Kirby Bear, an ungrateful boy, rose up to attack us. Is he still human?Since he dared to hit us, he would have to pay the price.

Que Ji also sneered, go back and tell Mr. Xianyu to ask him to write a letter to the general and ask the general if the bastard Kirby Bear should be killed.

The envoy scoffed, right and wrong, we all have calculations in our hearts, why bother talking nonsense?Mr. Xian Yu said, you can stop the matter in Liaodong, don't stir up troubles again and again, if the situation in Liaodong gets out of hand, you will be responsible for the consequences.

The messenger turned around and left.Que Ji was furious, and he slapped the table with his palm. I couldn't believe that a leopard could bite my head after I destroyed Liaodong.

In October of the second year of Yuanping in the Han Dynasty (AD 204).

October, Wudu County, Fengting.

Right Guard General Zhao Yun and Later General Yang Feng arrived at the camp of the Chinese Army in Fengting.

Left General Yan Liang, Right General Wen Chou, Town Army General Hua Xiong and other generals welcomed them into the tent.

Yan Liang's expression was stern, and there was a trace of frustration in his eyebrows, "Am I going to be dismissed and return to the court?"

"Dismiss?" Yang Feng sneered, "Who dares to dismiss you? If you lose a battle, you will be dismissed. How can you fight a war? Now we have the final say in the court. If someone wants to dismiss you, we will dismiss him first." job?"

Zhao Yun smiled and waved at Yan Liang and Wen Chou, "Sit down. Although you suffered a defeat at Xianrenguan, you still achieved your goal in the early attack. The imperial court believes that you can offset your merits and demerits and will not punish you."

"How is the general's battle in Xijiang going?" Wen Chou asked hurriedly after hearing that the court would not punish him, and his mood immediately improved.

"We won." Yang Feng said, "First we fought in Kuiyuan Gorge, and last month we fought in Daxiaoyu Valley. We beheaded nearly [-] people before and after, and we basically stopped at Hehuang. Now as long as we find a way to wipe out the main force of Hongri and Tietou's Qiang cavalry, the war in Western Xinjiang will be over."

"So, the general will be able to pacify Western Xinjiang before the end of the year?" Sima Yi asked in surprise.

"It's hard." Zhao Yun said with a faint smile, "It will snow soon in Xijiang. If Hongri retreats to the West Sea before the snow falls, the war in Xijiang will be delayed until next year. However, the Western Expedition Army controls the river. After Huanghou, the main force of the army basically stopped, and the demand for food, grass and luggage decreased, so the imperial court decided to continue to attack Wudu and Hanzhong, and supply us with food, grass and luggage as much as possible.”

"What if the general pursues us all the way to the West Sea?" Hua Xiong asked worriedly, "We have already lost once. If half of the battle is defeated this time and we withdraw, our morale will be severely damaged."

"Even if the general pursued him all the way to the West Sea, the army he brought was only a limited number of iron cavalry, and they mainly belonged to the Qiang cavalry and some soldiers of the Hu tribe." Zhao Yun said, "Warring in winter, especially in the West Sea Fighting in such an inaccessible place depends on courage and perseverance, food and grass are no longer important."

"How long will the court give us?" Yan Liang asked.

"Two months." Zhao Yun raised two fingers and shook them in front of the generals, "After we brought 7 reinforcements into Dasan Pass, there were [-] people on the battlefield in Wudu, and the consumption of food and supplies was very high. Two months is the limit."

"When will the attack begin?"

"Tomorrow." Zhao Yun stood up and walked to the map, pointing to the Liangdang Pavilion on the map, "Starting tomorrow, Lord Yan and Lord Wen will lead an army of [-] to launch a strong attack again, directly killing Hechi, and then divide the troops to attack Xianren Pass." Zhao Yun There was a murderous look on his face, "Last time we didn't know that Liu Bei retreated, but we suffered a defeat and lost the lives of thousands of soldiers. Now, we will do the same, and we must hit the rebels hard."

=

In October, Wudu County, Hechi.

Liu Bei received an urgent report that the Northern Xinjiang Army launched an attack again, and he couldn't help being worried, and hurriedly summoned the leaders and generals of various ministries to discuss matters.

Without further ado, Yang Ren only had one word, withdraw.

Zhang Ren bowed his head and said nothing, but the expression on his face undoubtedly told everyone that he had lost his fighting spirit.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard with his hand, but said nothing.Pang Yi, Huang Zhong, Yan Yan and others sat around him, all frowning.

In the Battle of Xianrenguan, although more than 7000 soldiers from the Northern Xinjiang Army were completely wiped out, the price paid by the coalition forces was extremely astonishing. They won the battle with 1 soldiers, nearly double the cost.If it wasn't for the superiority of the terrain, if it wasn't for Liu Bei's categorical order to withdraw the troops, the troops participating in the encirclement would definitely be surrounded by the reinforcements of the Northern Xinjiang Army and the Beijiang Tunqi Battalion and Wufeng Battalion struggling in the encirclement. There will be a shocking reversal.

The strength of the Northern Xinjiang Army made the soldiers of the coalition army linger in fear.

In this battle, Yang Ren's Hanzhong army and Zhang Ren's Bashu army suffered the most. They didn't want to fight anymore, but Liu Bei had to fight because he had nowhere to go. It is the king of Qin, and Yang Song is just a prefect under Liu Zhang. With the advantage of the army in his hand, Liu Bei can completely drive Yang Song away and take Hanzhong by force.As for Shu Wang Liu Zhang, he will not be allowed to retreat to Chengdu.Liu Bei is a desperate man with nowhere to go, and Pang Yi is a traitor in Bashu. Liu Zhang will not accept Liu Bei anyway for his own wealth and life.

When Liu Bei retreated, Zhuge Liang once said that if he wanted to survive, he must take Hanzhong.With the land of Hanzhong, and then supporting each other with Bashu, we can ensure that Yizhou is not lost as a whole, and block the way for the northern army to go south, so as to ensure the north-south confrontation strategy formulated by the Xiangyi court.Liu Bei returned to Wudu in mid-August. In the past two months, Jian Yong, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Liu Yan and others tried every means, but they were not absolutely sure of capturing Hanzhong.

The premise of taking Hanzhong is to ensure that Hanzhong is not chaotic. If Hanzhong is in chaos, there will be attacks from the northern border army outside and fierce fighting inside.

Now the northern army has stabilized its morale, revived its morale, and perhaps received support, and started a fierce attack again. However, Liu Bei has not yet found a way to capture Hanzhong, and many generals of the coalition forces have lost confidence and courage. Fight again The result is very likely to be a big failure.

At a loss, Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong to stick to the front line of Guting, and he and the civil and military officials came up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.

=

Although Wudu County is located between Guanzhong, Longxi, Bashu and Hanzhong, the roads leading to these four places are difficult and difficult.The Northern Xinjiang army went out from the Guanzhong direction to Dashan Pass to attack Wudu. In fact, it was just one road, and they attacked all the way.The last time the Allied Forces were lucky enough to win, it was entirely because the Northern Army was too arrogant and neglected that Liu Bei in Longxi could withdraw at any time. This time the Northern Army will not divide its forces, and the Allied Forces can only rely on the terrain advantage to stop them step by step.

"If we can keep the northern border army at Hechi and drag the battle until it snows, then we will have plenty of time to seek Hanzhong." Jian Yong immediately felt that something was wrong when he said this.This sentence makes no sense.It's snowing in Qinling Mountains, the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, and the roads between Wudu and Hanzhong are also cut off. Even if there is a chance, Hanzhong will not be taken.

"If you want to win Hanzhong, you have to do it before the snow falls, otherwise we will be finished." Pang Tong said bluntly, "Yang Song is a villain. When he sees that our life is cut off, he will definitely go to Chang'an."

Liu Bei sighed, "It's really not possible, we will forcefully attack Yangping Pass."

"Yang Song has more than 2 people in his hands. In addition to Yang Ren's army, there are 5000 Yang Ang's troops at Yangpingguan, and there are more than 1 people in Nanzheng, Xicheng, and Shangyong. If we attack by force, we will not have enough troops. Without the grain and grass in Hanzhong, relying only on the grain and grass supplied by Bashu, the army will soon run out of food, and we will die." Zhuge Liang shook his hand again and again, "If you want to take Hanzhong, you must start from the inside of Hanzhong, first let Hanzhong chaos, and then we will go Take advantage of the momentum and rush in to clean up the mess."

When everyone was struggling to think about what to do, someone suddenly reported that the grain and grass in Hanzhong had been delivered, and the Hanzhong Fucang Cao Shi Shendan (dan) who had come to escort the grain asked to see Liu Bei.

Shen Dan turned out to be a loyal follower of Shangyongling and Wu Dou of Rice.After Yang Song killed Zhang Lu, he thought he was highly talented and stayed in office. Later, he heard that he had close contacts with Nanyang. He was worried that he would sacrifice his superiority and make Hanzhong lose the barrier to the east, so he transferred him back to the government. Ya.After seeing Liu Bei, Shen Dan said something astonishing, saying that the King of Qin was about to be defeated and his life was in jeopardy.Liu Bei thought to himself, do you still need to say this?I'm worrying about this.Liu Bei didn't take it seriously, and was very polite, thanking him for bringing the food.Shen Dan said another shocking thing, and Yang Song took refuge in Chang'an.

"The news is accurate?" Liu Bei was horrified.

"This is the last batch of food and grass." Shen Dan said, "After the northern Xinjiang army hits Hechi, Yang Song will find an excuse to transfer Yang Ren's army back to Yangping Pass to garrison, and then Hanzhong will no longer provide the army with food." forage."

Liu Bei broke out in a cold sweat and didn't speak for a long time.

"Master Shen, do you have a solution?" Liu Bei suddenly thought that this person used to be Zhang Lu's subordinate, and he personally rushed to Hechi to call the police, maybe there is a solution.Whether he can enter Hanzhong probably depends on whether he is willing to help.

Shen Dan hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "As early as the beginning of the year, after the imperial decree issued by the imperial court, Yang Song saw that he had nothing, and then he had the idea of ​​rebellion, and sent people to Chang'an to present a confession. So far, I know very little about it. , It is estimated that winter is coming, and Yang Song will use the heavy snow to block the mountains as an excuse to cut off your food and grass, and send you to a dead end. If you want to take Hanzhong, time is running out."

Liu Bei listened silently, his expression extremely calm.

"If your lord takes Hanzhong, how will you deal with Yang Song?" Shen Dan asked suddenly.

"Punish the Nine Clans." Liu Bei said word by word, coldly.

"My lord keeps his word?" Shen Dan asked a little worried.

"I swear." Liu Bei swore a poisonous oath immediately.

Shen Dan let out a long breath, stood up suddenly, went to the door and knelt down, bowed respectfully to Dongfang a few times, then took out a silk map from his arms and handed it to Liu Bei, "Yang Song If you donate Hanzhong, Chang'an will definitely be made a prince and marquis, and the revenge of Zhang Shijun (Zhang Lu) will be difficult to kill, so I am willing to help you take Hanzhong."

Liu Bei was overjoyed and bowed to thank him.

The Beijiang army attacked like a tide, Zhang Fei couldn't resist, and retreated to Hechi. At this time, an astonishing scene appeared on the battlefield, and the Beijiang army divided up again.Wen Chou commanded the two battalions of Zhongba and Huben of the Northern Army to directly kill Xianrenguan.

At this moment, the main forces of the coalition forces are distributed in Hechi, Xiabian and Xianrenguan.The northern frontier army blocked the Immortal Pass, which was equivalent to cutting off the retreat of more than [-]% of the coalition forces.

Liu Bei thinks that the people in Northern Xinjiang are either crazy or extremely arrogant.Without the slightest hesitation, he commanded the army to resist Yan Liang's attack, and at the same time ordered Guan Yu and Pang Yi who were stationed in Xiabian to lead the army to kill Xianrenguan, and then surrounded the Northern Xinjiang army to attack Xianrenguan again.

=

After Wen Chou led his army to Xianrenguan, he did not launch an attack. Instead, he set up a defensive formation on a hillside three miles away from Xianrenguan, supplemented by various chariots, and stood ready.

Guan Yu and Pang Yi led 5000 people to kill them, and immediately launched an attack. At this time, Zhang Ren, Yang Ren, and Yan Yan in Xianrenguan also led [-] troops to kill. The two sides attacked back and forth, and the battle was unprecedentedly fierce.

At dusk, Zhao Yun and Yang Feng led [-] troops out of Guting.

Yang Feng, Yang Yi, and Guo Xun led an army of [-] to attack the south gate of Hechi City, cutting off Liu Bei's way to retreat to the south.Zhao Yun and Wang Dang led an army of [-] to rush to Xianren Pass.

Liu Bei in the city looked at the columns of Northern Xinjiang troops rushing towards Xianrenguan in a murderous spirit, feeling extremely desperate, "Withdraw, withdraw and judge."

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Bei led his army to Xiabian and saw that the battle flags on the tower had been changed.Wei Duan is very polite, under the Sheshu City, I have surrendered, please retreat south quickly.Liu Bei gritted his teeth angrily, and cursed loudly.At this time, turning back and taking the Immortal Pass must be a dead end, what should I do?Is God going to kill me?

Li Jun and Zhao Ang, who had been with Zhang Fei from Wudu, were brought before Liu Bei.Liu Bei looked up to the sky and sighed, and shook his hands, "Let them go, let them go home."

Li Jun and Zhao Ang were grateful.Zhao Ang returned to the city, but Li Jun came back halfway, "My lord, there is a small road that leads directly to Jucheng. If your lord is willing to abandon the luggage, the army can reach Jucheng in three days."

"Jucheng?" Liu Bei looked at Li Jun in disbelief and exclaimed, "You mean Jucheng?"

I'm going to congratulate my colleagues on their housewarming in the evening, so I can only update so much, I'm sorry.
