Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

The terrain in Shu determined that attacking one side would have to pay a heavy price. The five thousand infantry who followed Zhao Yun were the elite of the Chang'an army. Most of them had experienced the battlefield in Liangzhou. When they first entered Chencang Road,

The soldiers in the army were quite excited. The victory in the Liangzhou battlefield last year gave them great encouragement. However, after only two days after entering Chencang Road, many soldiers showed signs of fatigue. Chencang Road was only compared to the other two.

This road is much easier to travel, but it does not mean that it is smooth sailing.

However, the wheelbarrow played a huge role at this time. The team transporting the grain and grass baggage became much easier. Even on a slightly bumpy road, ordinary people could easily push the grain and grass away, and Lu Bu used this thing

Naming it Jinhou's chariot made the teams transporting grain, grass and baggage even more excited.

In Hanzhong, after learning that Lu Bu had sent Zhao Yun to lead five thousand soldiers and horses into Hanyang via Chencang Road, Zhang Lu's expression was full of worry. Unexpectedly, not long after Liu Bei entered Yizhou, Chang'an's army moved into action.

Zhang Lu didn't have much confidence in dealing with powerful people like Lu Bu. Once Yangping Pass was lost, it meant that there was no more danger to the west of Hanzhong. Compared with Lu Bu's army entering Hanyang through Chencang, Zhang Lu

It is even more hoped that these troops can enter Hanzhong through 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 from these two roads, even if it succeeds, it will suffer heavy losses.

"My lord, there is no need to worry. Yangping Pass is dangerous and strong, and there are five thousand troops and horses in Mianyang City, which is enough to resist the troops of the Marquis of Jin." Zhang Weidao.

Yang Song also did not expect that Lu Bu would suddenly take action. It seemed that Liu Bei's attack on Yizhou made Lu Bu feel the urgency. Originally, he had been secretly trying to persuade Zhang Lu to defect to Lu Bu. Zhang Lu also had concerns about defecting to Lu Bu.

He was a little shaken, especially after hearing Lu Bu's conditions, Zhang Lu was moved even more, but Zhang Lu was not willing to lose everything in front of him.

"General Zhang Wei, you lead five thousand soldiers and horses to Yangping Pass for support. You must block the Jin Hou's army." Zhang Lu said, no matter what, blocking Lu Bu's army is the top priority. Only by guarding Hanzhong can we further bargain with Lu Bu.

Capital, otherwise no one will listen to your words without troops and land.

"Here." Zhang Wei said, cupping his fists.

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

"Lord, according to the news from Xizuo, the Marquis of Jin attacked Hanzhong this time and sent 50,000 troops. Among them, there were only a thousand cavalry and the rest were infantry." Huang Quan said.

Zhang Ludao: "The Marquis of Jin is powerful. If Cao Cao and Yuan Shao weren't there to contain them, the number of troops that the Marquis of Jin could use this time would be at least one hundred thousand."

"Lord, on this occasion, it is 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 have not recovered their strength. It is more to contain Lu Bu so that Liu Bei can seize Yizhou." Yang Song said.

, his implication was to remind Zhang Lu that Lu Bu could mobilize his army to enter Hanzhong at any time.

Zhang Lu sighed: "No matter what, the most important thing is to defend Hanzhong for the time being."

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

Decided to give Zhang Lu some good persuasion.

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 the Qinling Mountains in the north, the Han River and Bashan Mountain in the south, and is located at the Jinniu Crossing leading to Bashu in the west and the Chencang Crossing leading to Qinlong in the north. It is at the horns of Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain to the south and north of the Han River.

, is the western gateway of Hanzhong, and is also the northern frontier from Bashu 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 known as "the throat of Shu and the gateway of Hanzhong" since ancient times, and it is also said that "the most dangerous place in Hanzhong is not as dangerous as Yangping".

Seeing Yangping Pass not far away, even with Zhao Yun's temperament, he couldn't help but take a breath. Compared with Jiguan Pass and Hangu Pass around Chang'an, the dangers of these passes were much higher and the defenders were more difficult to give in.

It is in an extremely advantageous position. Once the army launches an attack and wants to seize 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 Chariot is set up, even if Yangping Pass is dangerous, it can suppress the defenders on the city without raising their heads. It is foreseeable that

This is bound to be a protracted war. The effect of the Thunderbolt 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 of the pass.

After hearing the news, Zhang Wei saw the soldiers in Guan Guan like this and scolded: "How unbecoming is it to panic? The enemy only has more than a hundred cavalry. If the Marquis of Jin comes with a large army, wouldn't you be so frightened that you can't even hold 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.

"I have heard that General Ma Chao is brave and his cavalry is even more elite. Now that the enemy is provoking outside the city, General Ma might as well go out and defeat them." Zhang Wei turned his eyes to Ma Chao and said.

"It is our duty to do so." Ma Chao clasped his fists and left.

Looking at Ma Chao's leaving figure, Yang Ang snorted coldly on the side: "I showed off in the army just because I had some skills. I was not defeated by the Marquis of Jin, but now I can only survive in Hanzhong."

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

Ma Supernatural was extremely depressed. After entering Hanzhong, he could feel that Zhang Lu valued him, but Zhang Lu's counselors and generals rejected him. As a last resort, he asked to lead troops to station in Mianyang and Yangping.

The pass is located to the east of Mianyang, and it is the western barrier for Mianyang and the entire 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 Bai broke the military

situation.

According to Ma Chao's plan, it was natural for the generals to gradually win over the generals 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 deeds, Ma Chao was able to

He felt the two people's fear and wariness towards him.
