Cao Cao made Zhang Lu General Zhenbei and transferred him to the prefect of any county in Youzhou in the north.
Historically, after Cao Cao got Hanzhong, Xiahouyuan was sent to guard it, but now Xiahouyuan is still engaged in Goguryeo and Fuyu people, so the one who finally came to Hanzhong was General Zhang Xiu who had just been promoted due to his military exploits.
Zhang Xiu, who wanted to go back to the Central Plains, was disappointed again...
When he came to Hanzhong and saw Lu Yan, Ma Chao and Xu Shu, he couldn't help but pour out his bitterness.
But Zhang Xiu's behavior did not hide from the eyes of Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun.
Lu Xun whispered in Zhuge Liang's ear: "Zhang Xiu looks like a warrior, but he knows how to protect himself! The more he is unwilling to stay away from the Central Plains, the more Cao Cheng will be more at ease with him."
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, and replied: "I heard that Wen Hegong served as a military advisor under General Zhang. I'm afraid he learned a lot of self-protection skills from Wen Hegong at that time."
"That's right, it makes sense for the old fox to bring out a little fox!"
Lu Yan ignored him
Lu Xun and Zhuge Liang, who were muttering, said to Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu respectively: "Gongqi, you have a long way to go to Youzhou, please take care of everything on the way, especially keep a low profile. After arriving in Youzhou, some If you need help, you can go to Youzhou Inspector Tianchou, he should be able to help you."
Zhang Lu understood, clasped his hands and said, "Thank you Lu Hushi for your guidance!"
"General Zhang, Hanzhong will be handed over to you. This is the only retreat for our army. I hope you can guard it carefully."
Zhang Xiu clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "Lu Hussar, please rest assured, he is in the city!"
......
After Hanzhong made the arrangements, it has been delayed for almost a month.
After taking down Hanzhong, the next thing Lu Yan and others have to face is the whole of Yizhou.
Being able to win Hanzhong without bloodshed is the best result for Cao Jun, but even so, it is still quite difficult to conquer the entire territory of Yizhou.
But neither Lu Yan nor anyone else in the army thought that they would be unable to capture Yizhou. The so-called difficulty is actually just the length of time it takes to capture Yizhou...
After Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu left the hall, Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun placed the map presented by Zhang Song on the table.
Zhuge Liang pointed to a checkpoint drawn on the map and said, "The first step to Yizhou is Jiameng Pass."
If Yangping Pass is the gateway of Hanzhong, then Jiameng Pass can be said to be the gateway of Yizhou to the north.
Jiameng Pass stands on the wall made of stones.Before and after the pass, there are overlapping mountains, dangerous rocks and cliffs, and desolate trees; a stone path path, twists and turns and passes, is steep and majestic.
The difficulty of Shu Dao is as difficult as reaching the sky!
Although Lu Yan has an army of [-], in such a dangerous place, the army can't use it at all. It will take a lot of effort to conquer this pass.
After everyone looked at the map again, Xia Houlan suddenly suggested: "How about we launch a surprise attack directly before the Yizhou Army is fully prepared?"
"Jiameng Pass is a dangerous pass, and it is unlikely to be won by a surprise attack. And if the surprise attack fails, our army will start a surprise attack. When the other party is fully prepared, our army may fall into a war of attrition." Regarding Xia Houlan's surprise attack Lu Xun disagreed with the suggestion.
As for Lu Xun, although he is still young, all those present are people who understand his abilities, so no one thinks there is anything wrong with him saying these words.
"Bo Yan is right..." Zhuge Liang nodded, agreeing with Lu Xun's words.
After pondering for a while, Zhuge Liang made another suggestion: "The news of Zhang Lu's surrender to our army should not have reached Jiameng Pass. Maybe our army can use this to lure the snake out of its hole?"
Lu Yan raised his head curiously to look at Zhuge Liang, and asked, "How do you lure a snake out of its hole?"
Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, pointed at Yangping Pass and said, "Our army can play a grand offensive and defensive show with the Hanzhong defenders at Yangping Pass, and then secretly release the news that the Hanzhong army has come out and the interior is empty...Then the Jiameng Pass General, maybe we will launch a sneak attack."
At this time, Zhao Yun raised an objection, "But did the defenders of Yizhou believe the news of the emptiness of Hanzhong so easily? Even if they really believed it, how could they easily send troops to capture Hanzhong?"
Zhuge Liang replied with a smile: "We can release the news that there is a group of teams full of gold, silver, treasures, food and supplies going south..."
It has to be said that Zhao Yun's consideration is very thorough.But sometimes, Zhao Yun still underestimated human nature or overestimated other people's nature.
Occupying Hanzhong, perhaps the guards at Jiameng Pass would not dare to make such a bold decision; but let them go out to fight the autumn wind and earn some extra money, then they should still be able to make a vote!
Chapter 6 My Double Swords Are Already Hungry and Thirsty!
The next day, Jiameng Pass.
"Report! General, many refugees from Hanzhong suddenly came from outside the pass!" Gao Pei, the guard of Jiameng Pass, suddenly received a report from the soldiers.
"Refugees from Hanzhong?" Hearing the words, Gao Pei knew that the matter might not be easy, so he ordered: "Bring a few people into the pass for questioning!"
"Here!"
The soldiers ran away quickly, and after a while, the door was closed and a gap was opened, and then a few refugees who looked frightened and honest were brought into the pass.
After the refugees entered Jiameng Pass, Gao Pei also came to the entrance of the city gate from his residence.
After inspecting the trembling refugees in front of him, Gao Pei asked, "What happened in Hanzhong?"
Several refugees looked at each other, and finally a man who looked younger said: "To tell you the truth, the imperial court has sent a large army to attack Yangping Pass.
You should know that Zhang Tianshi attaches great importance to people's livelihood and preaching, and fighting has never been his strong point... Facing the attack of Cao Jun, everyone is afraid that the Hanzhong defenders will not be able to defend! "
"Yes, yes, I heard that Cao's army did all kinds of crimes by burning, killing and looting. We are afraid that we can only flee to the middle of Sichuan!"
"General, please be merciful, my old father is still outside, please let us enter Sichuan!"
......
Gao Pei raised his hand, stopping the chaotic scene for a while.
"Do you know who led the army to attack Hanzhong?"
It was the same man who answered, "I heard from the folks who fled back, it seems that the surname is Lu!"
"Lu?" Gao Pei immediately reacted after hearing this surname, "Lu Yan! Hussar General, Lu Yan!"
"Lu Yan? Is this person famous?" An old man asked with confusion in his eyes.
"..." Gao Pei looked at the old man who was asking questions, and couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous in his heart, "Zhang Lu's rule by doing nothing is just a group of foolish people who are completely isolated from the outside world."
Gao Pei didn't have the heart to explain too much to these people, he continued to ask the question he cared about: "Zhang Lu will definitely not be able to stop Lu Yan, do you know his recent movements?"
"I heard that Zhang Tianshi seems to have packed his things and is going to hide in the mountains to avoid the disaster."
Gao Pei's heart moved when he heard the words, and asked, "Do you know where he is going to hide?"
"This... who can know?"
Gao Pei thought the same, if these people can tell exactly where Zhang Lu fled, then it should be suspicious.
After interrogating some things again, Gao Pei didn't see any problems, so he beckoned to the deputy general who was patrolling the city wall, and said, "Take care of these refugees, and then send several teams of scouts to Hanzhong to investigate the situation."
"Here! The end general will do it!"
The deputy general's work efficiency is very high.
The city gate was opened again, and after the three teams of scouts went out, all the refugees outside the gate were taken into the city.
After the scouts entered the border of Hanzhong, they saw many people panicking. It seemed that the disaster of war was indeed imminent.
The scouts still remembered Gao Pei's instructions, and carefully monitored Zhang Lu's whereabouts.
In Gao Pei's mind, Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang have become mortal enemies, and if he can catch Zhang Lu, it must be a great achievement.
Moreover, Zhang Lu has run Hanzhong for so many years, and his men must have accumulated a lot of wealth.
If Zhang Lu's whereabouts can really be discovered, then not only can Zhang Lu be captured and go back to claim meritorious service, but also a small windfall of hundreds of millions can be made!
A day passed quickly, and Gao Pei was already impatient to wait in the pass.
Fortunately, the scout finally lived up to his expectations and really brought back news about Zhang Lu.
Several scouts were exhausted, Gao Pei quickly asked someone to serve drinks, and asked, "How is it, do you have any definite news?"
The scouts drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and licked their lips with some insatiable desire.
One of them replied: "Back to the general, we searched around for a day, and finally found out about Zhang Lu!"
"Say it!"
"Zhang Lu has indeed packed up his belongings and is ready to flee southwards from Micang Road to Brazil County! I heard that Zhang Lu also brought countless gold and silver treasures, and loaded more than 50 carts!"
"Basi County!" Gao Pei laughed when he heard the words, and said, "God help me! Brothers, follow me to rob Zhang Lu. We will not only be promoted, but also make a fortune!"
The soldiers around Gao Pei immediately cheered, gearing up and preparing to go out to do a big fight!
There is a small road to the east of Jiameng Pass, which goes directly to Micang Road.
Gao Pei left 5000 men to guard Jiameng Pass, while he himself took only [-] soldiers to rob Zhang Lu.
......
Micang Road, from the west of Hanzhong, along the Lianshui Valley Road and Bajiang Valley Road, to the Brazil area of Yizhou.The road goes around mountains and ridges, and climbing through it is like riding through clouds and fog. It is narrow, tortuous and extremely steep.
After Gao Pei and others came to Micang Road, they set up an ambush in a very dangerous place, and then waited patiently for Zhang Lu to pass by.
Zhang Lu did not disappoint Gao Pei.
After waiting for less than five days, Zhang Lu's motorcade appeared!
"General, Zhang Lu is here!" The soldier in charge of the guard sent the news back to Gao Pei excitedly.
A promotion and a fortune are just around the corner, who can resist such a huge temptation?
Sure enough, Gao Pei, who was lying in ambush on the mountainside, saw a long team struggling forward on the narrow road in Qiqu District from a distance.
Gao Pei looked like he was holding Zhizhu, and said to the guards beside him: "Pass down the order, and when Zhang Lu appears, immediately ambush and arrest Zhang Lu!"
It took almost an hour before the convoy finally arrived at Gao Pei's ambush circle.
Gao Pei had seen Zhang Lu before, and he saw Zhang Lu sitting in the commanding carriage in the convoy from a long distance away!
"Hahaha! It really is you!" Gao Pei laughed three times and said to himself, "It's really the credit and money that fell from the world!"
With the sound of clappers, Gao Pei roared angrily: "The whole army is attacking! Take Zhang Lu!"
"Kill!"
"Catch Zhang Lu alive!"
A rain of arrows was shot down from both sides of the road, which caused quite a bit of confusion in the convoy.
When the convoy guards escaped the rain of arrows, they found that the ambushes on the mountain were almost in front of them.
However, the group of guards, who seemed panicked at first, calmed down after seeing the ambush soldiers approaching them.
What's more, some people even licked their chapped lips, showing an expression that seemed to be "hungry and thirsty" long ago!
Gao Pei is one of the most famous generals under Liu Zhang. When he saw the abnormal performance of these guards, his heart suddenly rang!
However, it was all too late.
When they came to this group of Beiwei soldiers who had been hungry and thirsty for almost two years, it was too late!
"Wow!
! ”
The cloth covering the cars of Zhang Lu's convoy was lifted suddenly, and those vehicles were loaded with weapons, and the guards of the convoy quickly took the weapons from the cars at this moment!
Not only that, but there were also countless burly men with helmets and armor jumping out of several carts!
There are only 100 people in this group of big men, but they are all wearing complete Beiwei army-style heavy armor!
"Beiwei army, I am invincible!
! ”
"Beiwei army, I am invincible!
! ”
"Beiwei army, I am invincible!
! ”
"Back to the Wei Army? Back to the Wei Army!
! ”
Gao Pei's face suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart: "This **** is actually the infantry who is known as the best in the world! Lu Yan! You think of me too much, Gao Pei, don't you?" !
! ”
One of the guards beside Zhang Lu suddenly tore off the cloth robe on his body, then pulled out the pair of knives hanging from his waist,
"My twin sabers are already hungry and thirsty!"
