Rebirth God of War Lu Bu

The terrain in Central Shu decided that it would cost a heavy price to attack one side. The five thousand infantry who followed Zhao Yun were the elite of Chang'an's army. Most of them had experienced the battlefield in Liangzhou. The soldiers in the army were quite excited. The victory in the Liangzhou battlefield last year gave them great encouragement, but within two days after entering Chen Cang Road, many soldiers showed signs of fatigue. Chen Cang Road was only compared to the other two As far as this road is concerned, it is much easier to walk, not to say that it is a flat road.

However, the wheelbarrow played a huge role at this time. The team transporting grain and grass was much easier. Even on slightly rough roads, ordinary people could still easily push the grain and grass away. Named Jinhou's car, it made the team transporting grain and supplies even more excited.

In Hanzhong, after learning that Lu Bu sent Zhao Yun to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses into Hanyang through Chencang Road, Zhang Lu's expression was full of worry. Unexpectedly, shortly after Liu Bei entered Yizhou, Chang'an's army moved.

Zhang Lu didn't have much confidence in dealing with a tough man like Lu Bu. Once Yangping Pass was lost, it meant that there was no danger to the west of Hanzhong. It is even more hoped that these troops can enter Hanzhong from the other two roads.

The other two roads are not only rugged, but Zhang Lu has deployed a lot of troops along the way. As long as Lu Bu's army enters Hanzhong through these two roads, even if they can succeed, they will suffer heavy losses.

"My lord, there is no need to worry. Yangping Pass is dangerous and solid, and there are 5,000 soldiers and horses in Mianyang City, which is enough to resist the soldiers and horses of the Marquis of Jin." Zhang Weidao.

Yang Song also did not expect that Lu Bu would make a sudden move. It seems that Liu Bei attacked Yizhou, which made Lu Bu feel the urgency. Originally, he kept trying to persuade Zhang Lu to join Lu Bu in secret. Zhang Lu was shaken, especially after hearing Lu Bu's conditions, which moved Zhang Lu even more, but Zhang Lu was not reconciled to losing everything in front of him.

"General Zhang Wei, you lead five thousand troops to Yangping Pass for support. Be sure to block the army of the Marquis of Jin." Zhang Ludao, no matter what, blocking Lu Bu's army is the top priority. Only by defending Hanzhong can there be further bargaining with Lu Bu Capital, otherwise you will have no soldiers and land in your hands, and no one will listen to your words.

"Here." Zhang Wei clasped his fists and said.

Zhang Wei played an important role in the previous battles in Hanzhong, and he was extremely confident in defending Yangping Pass.

"My lord, according to the news from the elaboration, the Marquis of Jin has sent 50,000 troops to attack Hanzhong, of which only 1,000 are cavalry, and the rest are infantry." Huang Quan said.

Zhang Ludao: "The Marquis of Jin is very powerful. If it weren't for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to restrain him, the Marquis of Jin can use at least 100,000 troops this time."

"My lord, at this moment, it is very difficult for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to start a war with the Marquis of Jin at this time. After the previous battle, the two did not recover their vitality. It is more to contain Lu Bu so that Liu Bei can take Yizhou." Yang Songdao , His implication is to remind Zhang Lu that Lu Bu can mobilize the army into Hanzhong at any time.

Zhang Lu sighed: "In any case, the most important thing is to defend Hanzhong for the time being."

Yang Song frowned slightly. If Lu Bu were to break through Yangping Pass, the west gate of Hanzhong would be lost, and Lu Bu would be able to lead an army to conquer the city. After losing Hanzhong, Zhang Lu's value in Lu Bu's eyes would be much smaller. Decided to persuade Zhang Lu.

However, Yang Song persuaded Zhang Lu, but the effect was not very good.

Outside Yangping Pass, Zhao Yun ordered the army to set up camp, and then led more than a hundred cavalry to Yangping Pass to investigate the situation.

Yangping Pass is adjacent to Qinling Mountains in the north, Hanshui River and Bashan Mountain in the south. , is the western gateway of Hanzhong, and also the northern frontier of Bashu leading to Guanzhong. The geographical location is very dangerous. You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.

Yangping Pass has been called "the throat of Shu" since ancient times.

"Hanzhong Gateway" has the saying that "Hanzhong is the most dangerous place like Yangping".

Seeing Yangping Pass not far away, even with Zhao Yun's heart, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. Compared with the dangers of Ji Pass and Hangu Pass around Chang'an, this kind of pass will not give in, and the defenders are even stronger. It is in an extremely favorable position. Once the army launches an attack and wants to capture Yangping Pass from the enemy's hands, one can imagine the price paid.

However, in the hands of our own army, although it is difficult to capture Yangping Pass, it is not impossible. As long as the thunderbolt car is erected, even if Yangping Pass is dangerous, the defenders on the city can suppress their heads. It is foreseeable that, This is bound to be a protracted war, the effect of the Perak Chariot will be greatly weakened, and the attack on Yangping Pass will inevitably face greater difficulties.

The appearance of enemy cavalry outside Yangping Pass caused panic among the defenders.

Hearing the news, Zhang Wei saw the appearance of Guan Shang's soldiers, and scolded him: "What's the matter with panicking? The enemy army is only a hundred cavalry. If the Marquis of Jin leads an army, wouldn't you be so frightened that you will even have the weapons in your hands?" I can't even lift it up."

Since entering Yangping Pass, Zhang Wei has become the chief general in the pass. If Chang'an's army wants to enter Hanzhong, it must break through Yangping Pass.

"This general has heard that General Ma Chao is brave, and the cavalry under his command are even more elite. Now that the enemy is provoking outside the city, General Ma might as well go out and defeat them." Zhang Wei said, turning his gaze to Ma Chao.

"It's my duty." Ma Chao clasped his fists and left.

Seeing Ma Chao's leaving figure, Yang Ang snorted coldly on the side: "I just showed off in the army because I have some skills. It's not because of the Marquis of Jin. Now I can only linger in Hanzhong."

Zhang Wei glared at Yang Ang, but didn't scold him. Zhang Wei could understand Ma Chao's mood, but he couldn't use Hanzhong soldiers to avenge Ma Chao.

Ma Chao was naturally extremely depressed. After entering Hanzhong, he could feel Zhang Lu's attention to him, but Zhang Lu's counselors and generals rejected him. As a last resort, he asked to lead troops to station in Mianyang, Yangping The pass is to the east of Mianyang, and it is the western barrier of Mianyang and the whole of Hanzhong. Controlling Yangping Pass and Mianyang means controlling the main road for Lu Bu to enter Hanzhong in the future. Unexpectedly, the arrival of Yang Ang and Yang Bo broke the barriers in the army. situation.

According to Ma Chao's plan, it was natural that the generals gradually recruited the soldiers for his own use. He believed that it was easy to do this by his own means. The arrival of the two men broke the situation. Between words and actions, Ma Chao could Feel the fear and guard against him from the two of them.
