The morale of the Shu soldiers was shocked and they rushed to the mountain. Zhang He and Xiahou Shang hurriedly brought their troops to fight. Suddenly, the flames surged into the sky, and half of the sky was red. Xiahou De brought his troops to put out the fire, and happened to meet the veteran Yan Yan.
He raised his sword and killed the horse. It turned out that the reason why Huang Zhong was so confident was because he had sent Yan Yan to a very remote mountain peak. He just waited until the large army arrived and set fire to the firewood and grass together
On the pile, the flames soared, illuminating the valley. Yan Yan killed Xiahou De and rushed out of the back mountain. Zhang He and Xiahou Shang's soldiers could not look after each other, so they could only abandon Tiandang Mountain and go to the decisive place.
Junshan went to join Xiahou Yuan.
So Huang Zhong and Yan Yan guarded Tiandang Mountain and reported this important happy news to Chengdu. After Liu Bei heard about it, he gathered everyone to celebrate.
Fa Zheng said: "Before, Cao Cao surrendered Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and did not rely on geographical conditions to attack Bashu. He stationed Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He and brought the army back to the north. Now Zhang He has failed and Tiandang Mountain has not been defended. If the lord takes this opportunity,
, lift heavy troops to attack Hanzhong, then Hanzhong can be pacified. After Hanzhong is pacified, you can train troops and gather grain and find an opportunity to advance to attack the Central Plains, and retreat to guard Xichuan. This is an excellent opportunity and cannot be lost."
Liu Bei and Kong Ming both knew this truth deeply, so they ordered Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei to be the pioneers. Liu Bei and Kong Ming led a 100,000 army to choose a good date and prepare to attack Hanzhong. They ordered all places to be strictly guarded. That's right.
The auspicious day of the autumn of July 23rd year of Jian'an.
Liu Bei's army came out of Jiameng Pass, stationed in camps, attracted Huang Zhong and Yan Yan, and gave a heavy reward.
Liu Bei said: "Others say that the general is old and only the military advisor knows that the general's sword is not old and has outstanding abilities. Now he has indeed established a great achievement. However, now Dingjun Mountain in Hanzhong is a barrier to Nanzheng and is also a place for food and grass storage. If he can
After getting Dingjun Mountain, Yangping didn't need to consider the journey. Does the general still have the confidence to take Dingjun Mountain?"
Huang Zhong naturally agreed and was about to leave with his troops.
Kong Ming hurriedly stopped him and said, "The old general is indeed very brave, but Xiahou Yuan is not something that Zhang He can compare with. He knows strategy and knows military equipment. Cao Zhuo is a vassal of Xiliang. He previously stationed troops in Chang'an to resist Ma Chao, and now stationed troops in Hanzhong. Cao Cao
If you don't ask others, you just want to entrust Xiahou Yuan. That's because Xiahou Yuan is talented. Although the general has defeated Zhang He, he cannot beat Xiahou Yuan. I think one person should be sent to Jingzhou to recruit General Guan Yu. If it's really not possible, I still have to
Recruit General Yuyi so that he can have a chance to fight."
Huang Zhong was dissatisfied and said, "Lian Po was over 80 years old before, and he could still eat a lot of rice and ten kilograms of meat. The princes were afraid of his bravery and did not dare to invade the borders of Zhao, let alone Huang Zhong had not reached the seventh day of the country.
Ten? The military advisor said that I am old and I don’t need a deputy general now. I just need to take three thousand troops from the headquarters to cut off Xiahou Yuan’s head and present it to me.”
Kong Ming shook his head repeatedly, but he disagreed, and Huang Zhong insisted on going. Kong Ming said: "Since the general is determined to go, I will let someone go together as a military supervisor, can I not?"
Huang Zhong nodded and agreed, so Kong Ming said to Huang Zhong: "You go this time, I will let Fa Zheng help you. Everything must be discussed before taking action. I will then allocate people to pick you up!"
Huang Zhong and Fa Zheng went out with their troops.
Kong Ming smiled and said to Liu Bei: "We veterans, we don't need to provoke you, and we can't succeed even if we go. Now that he has gone, we should allocate people to pick you up." Liu Bei nodded and agreed, so Kong Ming
Zhao Yun was recruited and said, "You bring a group of troops and send a surprise troops from the small path to pick up Huang Zhong. If he can win, then you don't have to fight. If you fail, go and pick up."
He also said to Liu Feng, Meng Da: "Take three thousand soldiers and horses in the dangerous places in the mountains, erect more flags to strengthen our momentum and make the enemy confused." So the three of them got the order and left with their troops.
He sent someone to Xiajian and granted some strategies to Ma Chao, and then asked Yan Yan to go to Langzhong, Brazil to guard the pass, and switched Zhang Fei and Wei Yan to Hanzhong.
Zhang He and Xiahou Shang went to meet Xiahou Yuan and said, "Tiandang Mountain has been lost, Xiahou De and Han Hao have both been killed. Now I heard that Liu Bei personally brought heavy troops to attack Hanzhong. You can report to the King of Wei as soon as possible and send troops as soon as possible.
, come and rescue.”
Xiahou Yuan also realized the seriousness of the matter and sent someone to inform Cao Hong. Cao Hong went to Xuchang overnight and told Cao Cao the news. Cao Cao was very surprised after hearing this. He gathered all civil and military officials to discuss and prepare to send troops to rescue Hanzhong.
Chief Secretary Liu Ye said, "If Hanzhong is lost, then the entire Central Plains will be shocked. Don't be afraid of hard work. This time you must go to the battle yourself."
Cao Cao was a little regretful at this time and said, "I did not follow your advice at that time, which led to today's failure!" He quickly sent an order to raise 400,000 troops to fight in person. It was July of the autumn of the 23rd year of Jian'an.
Outside the Jingzhou city, Yu Yi took Lei Chunze around and soon arrived near the dilapidated temple outside the city. Lei Chunze took Yu Yi into the dilapidated temple and told Yu Yi about Huang Chenghan's murder.
Yuyi observed that there were still bloodstains on the ground of the ruined temple, and there were traces of fighting on the surrounding walls and pillars.
Yu Yi asked, "You said Huang Chenghan brought everyone to the ruined temple and then prepared to pick Huang Ye back, but was plotted against by servants and finally after a tragic battle?"
Lei Chunze nodded suddenly, and he didn't know the specific situation of this matter, it was just a reteller from Huang Shumin.
Yu Yi touched the traces in several places and continued to ask: "Don't Huang Shumin feel confused?"
Lei Chunze said: "She is indeed a little confused, so the case has not been closed and has been investigating it."
Yu Yi sighed: "It's because of our Daoxiang Village Chief. I have taught you many times. Come and see the traces of these fights."
After hearing this, Lei Chunze hurriedly walked over and looked in the direction of Yu Yi's finger. After looking for a long time, he didn't find anything, so he shook his head at Yu Yi.
Yu Yi smiled helplessly and said, "Didn't you find that these fighting traces are almost the same? Although there are many, they are all cut out by a weapon!"
Lei Chunze was proficient in weapons. After hearing this, he quickly checked it one by one and said, "Young Master is keen, it's really like this!"
Yu Yi brought Lei Chunze to the place with the most bloodstains and asked: "Are the deceased injured by a sharp weapon, and then the sharp weapon was pulled out of his body?"
Lei Chunze looked at Yu Yi, his eyes full of surprise, and said, "Young Master, can you kill someone? Why are you going to predict it before you know what to do?"
Yu Yi patted Lei Chunze on the head and smiled and said, "What are you saying? I have no motivation to kill Huang Chenghan!"
