Just as Yang Ren was about to die by the horse's hooves, Yang Ren suddenly raised all his strength, jumped up from the ground, grabbed a Sichuan cavalry, stepped onto the war horse, wrapped in the torrent of cavalry, and continued to fight against Lei Tong. When the soldiers in the Han Dynasty saw that the main general was so brave, they fought hard, so that the Lei Tong cavalry could not advance.

Liu Zhang stood up from the commanding platform, pointed at Yang Ren, and said in surprise: "Who is this? So loyal and brave?"

"When I capture you, I will know it once you ask." Zhang Ren took the spear from the soldier.

"Why use a cattle knife to kill a chicken? The general waits for a while, Yan Yan will go back."

Yan Yan carried the sword and stepped onto the war horse, dived down, and took Yang Ren straight to Yang Ren. Yang Ren was not very skilled in martial arts, but could only be considered medium-sized. He was tired of fighting for a long time. He fought with Yan Yan for a long time and was slapped off the horse with one knife. Yan Yan took a step and put the blade on Yang Ren's neck.

When the Hanzhong soldiers saw that the chief general was captured, their morale was suddenly extinguished and all surrendered. Yan Yan tied Yang Ren to the mountain. Liu Zhang looked at Yang Ren covered in blood and asked in a deep voice: "Warrior, who is his name?"

"Your grandpa Yang Ren is also."

"You are rude and seek death." He was so powerful that he was about to rush forward with a sled hammer, but was stopped by Liu Zhang and smiled and said, "It turns out that you are Yang Ren, the thief general who refused Yang Bai's entry into the city, which made our Sichuan Army unable to seize the pass. Now you have no way out to return to Hanzhong. Are you willing to surrender?"

"If you want to kill and cut, you will listen to the emperor and ask me to surrender and dream." Yang Ren roared sharply, touching the wound on his body, severe pain came, and his teeth were bitten tightly.

Liu Zhang smiled slightly: "It seems that you are too seriously injured and have a sense of consciousness. When your injury is healed, I will ask you again."

"Hahaha." The generals burst into laughter. Zhang Ren waved to several soldiers, and several soldiers carried Yang Ren down to cure his wounds. Liu Zhang's words only surprised Yang Ren. He then reacted and lay on the stretcher and shouted: "Liu Zhang, don't think that Xiaorong and Xiaohui, Yang will betray Shijun, and he is delusional..."

"Okay." Liu Zhang smiled and said to the generals in a deep voice: "Our army won the first battle, and we went to Tiandang and Baishui Passes. Hanzhong soldiers were captured and killed and injured more than 40,000 people, which was a great victory. Now we have gained an advantage in number. According to reports, the defeated soldiers in Tiandang Mountain fled to Dingjun Mountain dozens of miles away. Zhang Lu transferred another 10,000 troops to support.

Now there are less than 10,000 troops in Nanzheng. Dingjun Mountain is the gateway of Nanzheng, but it is not the only passage. There is a small path to bypass Dingjun Mountain and directly take Nanzheng. The Hanzhong troops have passed through the Battle of Tiandang Baishui, and it is already extremely weak. It is impossible to divide troops to guard the small path. Do you think our army should take Dingjun Mountain first, or attack Nanzheng directly?"

Zhang Ren said, "Lord, the last general believes that since Zhang Lu will deploy 10,000 troops to reinforce Dingjun Mountain when his troops are weak, it means that Dingjun Mountain is crucial. Nan Zheng and Dingjun Mountain depend on each other. If we directly attack Nan Zheng, Dingjun Mountain will inevitably attack our side and back, and there will be endless troubles. Therefore, the last general believes that Dingjun Mountain should be taken first and then heading to Nan Zheng."

The other generals thought Zhang Ren’s words were reasonable and agreed.

"The last general does not agree with the general's opinion." A veteran general stood up and it was Yan Yan who captured Yang Ren. "Lord, if our army has sufficient military strength, it is naturally the best strategy to take Dingjun Mountain first and Nanzheng second. However, we captured Tiandang Baishui, although we lost 40,000 enemies, our own casualties were also very heavy, and now there are only less than 30,000 troops left.

Dingjun Mountain is very dangerous, and there are more than 10,000 defenders. The so-called killing of one thousand enemies will damage 800 by yourself. If we attack our army forcibly, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. What kind of attack on Nanzheng at that time? Therefore, the last general believes that we should take Nanzheng first, and Dingjun Mountain can be defeated without fighting."

Liu Zhang nodded: "It all makes sense, Xiaozhi, what do you think?"

Fa Zheng pondered: "Dingjun's mountain food is abundant, the mountains are incredible, and Nanzheng is not so easy to conquer. Let's not talk about the city's height and deep ponds. It is Zhang Lu's old nest. It has been operating for several years, and conquering it is by no means easy. The safest way is to garrison the outer periphery of Dingjun Mountain, cut off the Dingjun Mountain food route, firmly guard the Baishui Tiandang second pass, and confront Zhang Lu. Our army currently has an advantage in military strength, geography, and Xichuan has an advantage in manpower and material resources. It takes less than a year, and Hanzhong can go down without a fight."

"One year? Joke, I can't wait that long." Although many battles last for one year or two, the decisive victory was actually a few days. In history, Liu Bei confronted Hanzhong for more than a year. From the beginning of burning Zhang He's antlers, it took less than a month to go to Hanzhong.

Now Liu Zhang has spent several months to quell the civil strife. If he confronts Hanzhong for a year, he may have unified the north before leaving Sichuan. At that time, the army of 800,000 will go south... Well, he doesn't have to play anymore.

"If the lord wants to fight quickly, then we have to look at the terrain of Dingjun Mountain first."

Liu Zhang smiled and said, "It seems that Wei Yan brought a good atmosphere to the army and was pragmatic. Then, let's go and see what the so-called strange danger looks like."

Liu Zhang led an army of 20,000 along the Micang Road to attack Dingjun Mountain, attacking the cities and camps along the way. The Hanzhong soldiers retreated all the way until they stopped in front of Dingjun Mountain. Wei Yan took the prisoners out of Jiameng Pass and joined Liu Zhang with Leng Bao and 7,000 troops.

Liu Zhang supported nearly 30,000 troops, and the combined forces of Dingjunshan and Nanzheng were slightly lower than this number.

The vast Minjiang River and the majestic Shu Mountains, only Shu has talent and is invincible!

Dingjun Mountain was surrounded by smoke and clouds, steep and majestic, and brilliant. Liu Zhang and his generals stepped on a cliff. Looking at the evaporated mountain air, Liu Zhang sighed: "I am really unwilling to pollute the bloody smell of the rivers and mountains."

Fa Zheng smiled and said, "Today's soldiers are in blood, tomorrow's rushing rivers, the lord supports the Han Dynasty and pacify the chaotic times. He wants to restore the great rivers and mountains to clean up. When we take Hanzhong, will Hanzhong avoid war forever?"

"Hahaha, this is similar to congratulations on making a fortune, it sounds comfortable." Liu Zhang laughed: "Then tell me, why go down to Dingjun Mountain? Or take Nanzheng without fighting Dingjun Mountain."

Fa Zheng looked at the vague Zhang Weishan Camp in the distance and said, "The Zhang Wei camp is all built in the leeward place. Now in September, although it can avoid the cold wind, the terrain is relatively low. Lord, you see, Dingjun Shanxi has a towering mountain with dangerous roads all over the place, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Our army should seize it overnight. You can look down at Dingjun Mountain, and Zhang Wei's virtuality and reality are in your palm."

Liu Zhang looked in the direction of Fa Zheng's finger, shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, I won't go there. Now the north wind is blowing. It's so cold that I can touch the world and the water in that place. No, no, no, I won't go."

"Isn't the lord telling it seriously?"

Fa Zheng smiled, and the other generals laughed, and Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Just, I just don't understand what Xiaozhi said about the use of Zhang Wei's camp to see the virtual and real, Dingjun Mountain is dangerous, and Zhang Wei's more than 10,000 soldiers can guard it, and there is no empty direction. Even if we observe the virtual and real, what can we do?"

Fa Zheng frowned and said, "My lord is about the point. If someone like Yang Bai guards Dingjun Mountain, we occupy the opposite mountain and look down on it, we will definitely come out to attack. We can defeat it with the momentum. However, although Zhang Wei is full of courage, he is calm.

We occupy the opposite mountain, and now Hanzhong's troops are at a disadvantage, Zhang Wei will not do anything. As the lord said, we can't do anything, but even if Zhang Wei doesn't leave the camp, can't we find someone to force him out of the camp?"

"Who can do it for forced him out of the camp?"

"Staff Secretary Zhang Lu, Yang Song, the brother of Yang Bo."
