North bank of Han River.

Following Xia Houyuan, Zhang He bid farewell to Prime Minister Cao Cao.

More than five thousand elite infantrymen were ordered to the shore and slowly boarded boats and rafts to cross the river.

The two supervise each other.

After all the tribesmen have boarded the boat and sailed in.

Xia Houyuan first turned around to face the direction of Cao Cao, bowed his hands solemnly, and secretly said with confidence: "Brother, Yuan will definitely live up to your expectations!"

"This time, we will take full control of Micang Mountain, which is south of the Han River. I will definitely return victoriously!"

It seems like they are deciding their attitude.

After half a ring.

Only then did he decisively board the ship and sail on.

Zhang He commanded the front army.

He directs from the center.

And just after Cao Jun's troops began to cross the river.

This news quickly spread to Yangping Pass, making guard Huo Jun aware of it.

"What? Cao Jun really built a raft and approached the south bank of Han River?"

"General Huo, this is absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes."

Following Huo Jun's questioning.

The scout also had a serious look on his face and reported truthfully with his hands in hand.

"No matter what happened, the things I didn't want to think about eventually happened."

Hearing that this was indeed the case, even Huo Jun, whose expression remained unchanged even before Mount Tai collapsed, could not help but show panic at this moment.

Micang Mountain is south of the Han River!

It is equally important as the geographical location of Beishan.

Huo Jun had already started studying the terrain of the area around Yangping Pass when he received the order to station at Baishui Pass.

"General, why are you so worried?"

"As long as Beishan and Guancheng are not destroyed by the enemy's main force, won't Yangping be as stable as Mount Tai?"

At this moment, I saw that my general's face suddenly showed a slight loss of composure.

A general on one side said with some confusion.

"You don't know something!"

"Yangping Pass is the most powerful pass in the world, controlling the throat of Hanzhong. As long as Yangping is not broken, Hanzhong will be at peace!"

"But the reason why this pass is difficult to attack is because the city was built between the north and south mountains, which makes the terrain under the pass steep, precipitous and narrow."

"In addition, the tributaries of the Han River pass through it, so it is destined that Yangping Pass cannot be broken by force!"

When the words came to this point, Huo Jun's expression couldn't help but reveal a little haze.

The conversation changed and he explained feebly: "But everything has two sides, there are advantages and disadvantages!"

"The two mountains in the north and south are separated by the Han River, so one man can guard Yangping Pass and ten thousand men cannot open it."

"But it is precisely because of this terrain that as long as one of the main peaks between the north and south mountains declares its fall, it will be difficult for Yangping Pass to be defended."

"Why is this, General?"

"Because as long as the main peak of Micang Mountain, which connects the Qinling Mountains to the south, is occupied by Cao's army, the enemy will be able to attack from behind our army with overwhelming force."

"If things really develop like that, even if General Zhang and his troops work hard to defend the defense line between Beishan, it will be in vain!"

"The Yang Ping shutdown can be maintained for a long time!"

One word fell.

Although Huo Jun didn't want to admit it, this was indeed the reality.

"Now that we have learned of Cao Jun's intention, the general will quickly order his troops to advance to the main peak of Micang Mountain."

The deputy general immediately suggested.

only.

Hearing this, Huo Jun just showed a thick bitter smile, and after a while he responded: "Oh, why don't I think so?"

"It's just that this strategy is a conspiracy by Cao Cao!"

"It makes it impossible for our army to take care of both the head and tail."

"Huh? What does the general mean?"

"The main force led by the lord has not yet arrived."

"As far as the strength of our army currently defending here is concerned, it cannot be compared with the main force of Cao's army, which is almost deployed in full force."

"Then the biggest dilemma of our army now is the lack of troops."

"If our army deploys its troops to garrison at Micang Mountain, Cao's army will immediately lead the main force to attack Guancheng day and night."

The words fell from the table.

When the generals heard these words, they couldn't help but look thoughtful.

All of a sudden.

The military mansion fell into a deathly silence.

All the generals never expected that things would be so serious!

Even Huo Jun, who had always been calm and collected, couldn't help but stand up and pace back and forth with his hands behind his back.

For the first time, he felt a little anxious in his heart.

Even though he saw through Cao Jun's plan.

But due to insufficient military strength.

He had no choice but to be anxious.

What's more, if the main peak of Nanshan Mountain is lost!

It will be difficult to preserve Yangping Pass.

Once the main force of Cao's army enters the wide Hanzhong Plain.

Until then.

Even Huo Jun didn't want to imagine the outcome.

With Cao's army's superior strength.

The two sides fought decisively on the plain.

Even if our main forces gather together, we may not be able to take advantage.

I have been worried for I don’t know how long.

A man hurriedly walked into the military mansion holding a letter in his hand.

The extremely dull atmosphere in the mansion has just been broken.

Wait for Huo Jun to take the letter and read it slowly!

The originally very anxious expression on his face gradually turned into a hint of joy.

A drastic change in expression.

Naturally, he can't hide it from his generals.

"General, what's wrong?"

"It seems like you have encountered something worthy of celebration?"

Seeing this, all the generals couldn't help but ask each other.

"Hahaha……"

Laughed for a while.

It seemed that Huo Jun was laughing to relieve his extremely anxious mood just now.

After half a ring.

His face returned to a serious expression, and then he returned to the subject and explained: "There is no need to think too much about Micangshan."

"As long as we hold Guancheng firmly and don't lose Beishan, we can prevent Cao's army from advancing even an inch!"

He looked at his general with an extremely happy expression on his face at this moment.

He looked completely different from his previous anxious demeanor.
