Zhang Fei seized Yangping Pass in advance.

Cao Cao, who thought he could easily get it, suddenly changed his expression.

"What's the situation? Why did Liu Beijun occupy Yangping Pass?"

"Send someone quickly to find out what happened last night?"

At this time, Prime Minister Cao Cao couldn't help but look serious, and he gave orders loudly.

He also started to panic.

If Yangpingguan were in Zhang Lu's hands.

Even if he returns without success this time, it will be no big deal!

The worst case scenario is to regroup and lead the army to conquer again.

After all, Zhang Lu only suffered from ringworm.

Can’t get on the stage!

But if Liu Bei annexes Hanzhong, it will definitely cause serious trouble.

Cao Cao fought with him for decades.

It is clear that Liu Bei's ambition is not just to be a local overlord who splits the land and seals the territory.

Once he conquers the entire Hanzhong.

It will inevitably pose a threat to Guan and Liang.

"Prime Minister, don't be surprised!"

"Perhaps the matter is not as serious as imagined?"

Looking at his expression, Xinpi on one side couldn't help but put his hands in front of him to comfort him.

"I hope so!"

Perhaps because he needed to calm down, Cao Cao immediately waved his hand and dismissed everyone.

We passed each other in a day or two.

Cao Jun's scouts returned one after another.

Reported the actual situation to Cao Cao.

"I report to the Prime Minister that according to the inquiries of the little people, the whole territory of Hanzhong has fallen into the hands of Liu Bei's army one after another."

"What?"

"How could this be?"

As soon as these words fell.

Not only did Prime Minister Cao Cao's expression change in shock, but all the civil and military generals under his command also looked at each other in shock.

"How could it be? Why did the main force of Liu Bei's army arrive so quickly?"

Xin Pi went out of the queue first to question.

To march from Bashu to Hanzhong, you have to go through the vast Daba Mountains.

He couldn't figure out why Hanzhong fell in such a short period of time.

Later, the scout truthfully reported the detailed military information: "It is said that Zhang Fei led his troops through Bazhong, detoured from the Yi area to the Hanzhong Plain, and went all the way to the capital Nanzheng City."

"Zhang Lu saw that Liu Bei's army was powerful and knew that he could not resist, so he surrendered the city."

The long talk came to an end.

The big tent gradually fell into silence.

No one thought of it.

They took the lead in approaching the pass, eyeing Hanzhong with eager eyes.

It was Liu Beijun who made the wedding dress.

Now that Liu Bei has occupied Hanzhong, it will be difficult for Cao Jun.

It seems like he has been thinking about it for a long time.

Liu Ye showed a solemn look on his face, cupped his hands and persuaded: "Prime Minister, Hanzhong is the passage connecting Bashu to Guanzhong. If Liu Bei's side can be stabilized again."

"After many years, he will definitely gather his troops to invade my pass and Liang Erzhou."

"By then, Liu Bei's army will have great control over the geographical location and will cause great trouble to our army."

At this point, he said in a deep voice: "Ye suggested that our army should take advantage of Liu Bei's army's new acquisition of Hanzhong and its unstable foothold to storm Yangping and forcibly capture the hinterland of Hanzhong."

"And now only the main camp connecting to Yangping Pass in the Beishan Defense Line is still under enemy control. If our army can completely occupy the Beishan Defense Line, it will be just a matter of time to break through Yangping Pass!"

After a while, the words fell.

Liu Ye's words also won the hearts of everyone.

After hearing this, everyone in the civil and military circles nodded in agreement.

Prime Minister Cao Cao thought for a moment, with a hint of joy on his face, and echoed: "What Zi Yang said is true!"

"Send an order to Xu Huang to continue to take charge of the army and compete with the enemy."

"We must secure the entire front line of Beishan."

The order is passed down.

Immediately send people to Beishanjian to report the latest instructions.

Cao Cao then moved his camp forward and exerted pressure towards the north of Yangping Pass to form a threatening situation.

The Cao and Liu armies began to fight at the foot of Yangping Pass.

And even with the convenient location, Xiongguan and Yangpingguan can serve as barriers.

But faced with the simultaneous attack of tens of thousands of Cao's troops.

Rao is as fierce as Zhang Fei, but he is also gradually feeling the pressure.

He had to frequently worry about the garrison strength in Guancheng and the defense in Beishan Mountain, running back and forth.

The stalemate lasted for several days.

Although Yangping Pass has not yet been captured.

Zhang Fei, however, was also mentally and physically exhausted.

only.

The good news came as promised.

Huo Jun, who was the first to march into Hanzhong from Baishui Pass, had already led his troops through the majestic Daba Mountains and arrived at Yangping.

With Huo Jun's assistance, the pressure on Zhang Fei's troops suddenly decreased.

Then, the two of them summed it up.

Huo Jun was stationed in Guancheng.

Zhang Fei personally went to the mountain camp to camp and confront Xu Huang's troops who were attacking.

With Huo Jun's assistance, the offensive pressure faced by Yangping Pass was suddenly reduced.

Not only that.

Zhang Fei personally took up the defense line in Beishan, which also curbed Cao Jun's offensive.

Relying on his own courage, Zhang Fei even planned counterattacks one after another in order to recapture the remaining fortresses that had fallen and drive Cao's army down the mountain.

The tug-of-war between the two armies in Beishan began.

The cruelty and ruthlessness of the battle was also vividly displayed at this moment.

Almost every day, soldiers on both sides suffered heavy losses, and the mountains were stained with blood.

The scenes of tragic scenes seemed to have shocked all kinds of raptors in the mountains and forests and did not dare to act rashly!

The fierce battle at the Beishan defense line was in full swing.

It has almost become the focus of the two armies to continuously increase their offensive and defensive forces.

And the defense of Guancheng in front of Yangping Pass.

Even though Prime Minister Cao Cao personally supervised the battle.

Even though the soldiers above Guancheng were far less than the main force of Cao's army.

But under Huo Jun's extremely strong persistence.

It is impossible to shake Guancheng at all.

This day.

The battle for Guanxia is still going on.
