Under Yangping Pass.

After many days of mobilization, Cao's and Liu's armies have now gathered at the foot of the pass to face each other in formation.

A decisive battle to determine the ownership of Hanzhong is about to begin.

In front of the two armies.

Cao Cao, the king of Wei, who was wearing a jet black royal robe, and Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, who was wearing a red royal robe, each waved their whips in their hands and rode out of the battle.

This is a meeting between the two kings before the war.

First, Cao Cao stepped forward on his horse, narrowed his eyes and showed no expression, and shouted sternly: "Liu Bei, you are an ungrateful traitor who rebelled against the imperial court, why don't you quickly dismount and surrender?"

After shouting, he raised his horsewhip and waved it forward.

Quite a domineering spirit!

It smelled like gunpowder from the very beginning, and Cao Cao took the lead in scolding.

But unexpectedly, Liu Bei's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, and he responded in a deep voice, "I am the stomach of the Han Emperor, and I have been ordered to punish thieves."

"You will kill the queen and make yourself king."

"Using Emperor Luanyu in vain is a true traitor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he also had a stern look on his face, pointing the riding whip in his hand, full of anger, and equally imposing.

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao became furious. He turned to look at the generals on one side and said, "Zhong Kang, I will take down the rebels with my lone general."

"Here!"

Xu Chu listened to the order and quickly followed the sound and agreed with his hands.

Then, with a look of fearlessness and excitement on his face, he galloped forward and charged straight forward, raising his sword.

Seeing the enemy approaching, Liu Bei just winked slightly to the side.

When Wei Yan on the side saw this, he rushed out with his sword and intercepted Xu Chu.

The two generals went back and forth with each other again, wielding swords and fighting until they were in one group.

In a short period of time, Wei and Xu could not decide the outcome!

Immediately, his son Cao Zhang directly ordered his elite troops to form a formation and go to war.

The Han army was unwilling to be outdone in the formation.

I saw the commanding flag in the palm of the mastermind Fa Zheng's hand waving frequently, and the soldiers from all departments were also lined up to meet the enemy.

Sword and shield soldiers, spear soldiers and other types of soldiers formed in an orderly manner.

After a while, the two armies were fighting together.

In an instant, a huge melee broke out from the fighting generals at Yangping Pass.

The blood flowed like a stream, as if the wilderness had been dyed.

The shouts of killing were everywhere, and the soldiers on both sides fought like crazy, with high fighting spirit!

The fight will never stop until the last moment.

As the fighting continued, it became more intense.

But just when the fight was at its most crucial, Fa Zheng, the mastermind behind the battle, walked up to Liu Bei with a smile on his face. The corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly, and he whispered:

"Your Majesty, if you count the time, Zilong should have crossed the river and reached behind Cao Ying. It's time for our army to launch a massive counterattack."

After saying this, Liu Bei nodded slightly to express his agreement.

Not long after, as expected, a commotion seemed to gradually arise in Cao's army.

After a while, I saw the messengers riding fast horses and rushing to the King of Wei, Cao Cao. They didn't even bother to kick the air, and reported with an eager look on their faces:

"...I am informing you, Your Majesty, that a Shu army with well-organized armour, stomach and appearance appears behind our camp. Their fighting spirit is very high, and we are irresistible!"

"What? How many troops are there in the enemy army?"

"Why can't Xu Huang resist?"

When Cao Cao heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he asked with an unkind expression.

Due to the previous Battle of Han River, Zhao Zilong once again became famous, demonstrating his courage and intimidating his soldiers.

At the same time, Cao Cao was also worried that the Shu army would take advantage of the decisive opportunity to cross the Han River to attack his flanks or rear. He had already made arrangements and ordered Xu Huang, who was always cautious, to lead the army to defend the rear.

It stands to reason that with Xu Huang's bravery, even if the Shu army sent partial troops to attack, he could easily hold the camp.

But this time the fact was that even Xu Huang couldn't resist?

This made Cao Cao feel a little weird.

"Your Majesty, the enemy general is Changshan Zhao Zilong who showed great prowess in the Battle of Han River. This man not only suppressed General Xu with bravery, but his subordinates are also unstoppable."

"General Xu is a little helpless, so I just asked the villain to come and report to the king quickly, so that you can make a decision as soon as possible!"

As soon as he said this, Cao Cao pondered quietly for a moment unconsciously.

While looking at the situation on the field, he looked back at the rear.

It seems like he is making a decision!

After all, he wanted to continue fighting in order to defeat the Shu army head-on.

Or should we temporarily withdraw our troops to avoid the enemy?

Cao Cao has not made up his mind for a long time because he knows that the Shu army is very powerful this time. If he takes the lead in retreating with his troops, he may never have the chance to defeat the Shu army and occupy the Hanchuan area.

By then, the Shu army, which has won the decisive battle, will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack.

And the morale of his soldiers will decline as a result.

After all, once you make great efforts, you will be exhausted again and again.

If this were to happen, he would have no choice but to return north.

A group of counselors nearby saw that their master was hesitant.

There seemed to be another sparkle in Jia Xu's eyes, and he directly raised his hands and suggested in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, our army's grain, grass and other materials have been fully transferred to the entrance of the Xiegu. Zhao Zilong is now leading his troops to attack my camp at the rear."

"If General Xu loses, the camp will fall!"

"At that time, not only are grain and other logistical supplies at risk of being robbed, but our army's route to the north may also be cut off."

This powerful statement came down.

Cao Cao, who was still hesitating at first, suddenly showed a serious look on his face, and quickly ordered loudly, "You go quickly to convey the order, and order Cao Zhang to lead his troops to fight and retreat at the same time."

"Here!"

After the king's order was passed down, the herald naturally did not dare to show any slightness, and he quickly accepted the promise and galloped away.

After hearing what Jia Xu said, Cao Cao had already made up his mind to retreat.

After Cao Zhang accepted the order, although he was unwilling to do so, he could only obey.

He ordered all ministries to take turns to cover and retreat slowly.

When Cao Jun withdrew, Liu Bei also understood that Zhao Yun must have led his troops to gain a huge advantage behind the enemy camp.

Otherwise, how could the enemy retreat so easily?

After understanding this idea, Liu Bei's face showed a strong look of joy, and his heroic spirit doubled. He directly pulled out the double male and female swords from his waist and shouted loudly:

"Soldiers, the enemy's formation is in chaos, charge forward and defeat them completely!"

"Kill, kill, kill..."

When the order was passed, Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, Wu Yi and other generals all shouted loudly.

Immediately afterwards, the morale of all the soldiers under his command was undoubtedly high.

Facing the retreat of Cao's army, they pursued together.

Today I vow to compete!

I saw two armies chasing each other in the valley outside Yangping Pass.

On the other hand, Xu Huang was now facing Zhao Yun's sudden attack, and it became increasingly difficult to resist him!

Just when they were about to be unable to hold on any longer, all the main forces slowly withdrew.

However, because the Han army in the rear was biting hard.

Cao Cao also knew that this time there was no gap to surround and annihilate Zhao Yun's troops.

In addition, our own side suddenly retreated from the front battlefield, and now the morale of the main force of the Han army has been greatly boosted.

If they continue to fight, they will only become more disadvantaged!

After the two armies joined together, they abandoned the main camp and rushed to the entrance of Xiegu.

Fortunately, Cao Cao listened to Liu Ye's suggestion in advance and gathered various logistics supplies such as grain, grass, and military equipment at the mouth of the valley in advance.

So much so that this retreat only left an empty camp for the Shu army.
