The official positions of the Shu Han were somewhat different from those of the Wei Dynasty; but Zhang Yi, the former military supervisor and governor of Hanzhong, was actually the highest general of the Shu Han in the Hanzhong area, replacing Wang Ping's original position! However, this campaign was led by General Wei Jiang Wei , Zhang Yicai is not the commander-in-chief of the Shu army.
Zhang Ni's position in Shuhan is almost as high as that of Guo Huai in Wei. However, Shuhan's territory and military strength are much smaller than those of Wei. There is only Yizhou in total. Therefore, the places Zhang Ni can control are naturally unable to compete with Yongliang. Comparable in size.
Qin Liang could easily imagine that after capturing the Hanzhong area, and then capturing the Shu Han generals in Hanzhong, the momentum would be different.
Moreover, it is better to capture him alive than to kill him in a formation, which can only be reflected in the text of the memorial, but if he is captured alive, the people of Luoyang can see it with their own eyes. So Qin Liang did not want to kill Zhang Yi.
Probably because Qin Liang did not insult Zhang Ni, and Zhang Ni was not easy to curse. Instead, he looked at Qin Liang, the coach of the Wei army, intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhang Ni was helped off the horse by his guards, and he looked at Qin Liang for a moment. Qin Liang faced him calmly, trying to figure out Zhang Ni's attitude first.
At this time, Zhang Yi opened his mouth and said: "Now that the general has been defeated, it is useless to talk about it! I just want to die and become a ghost of the Han Dynasty."
Everyone around him said nothing, just waiting for Qin Liang to deal with it.
Qin Liang naturally did not agree with Zhang Ni's words, thinking that he was only loyal to the monarch. Moreover, the Wei army also suffered many casualties in this battle, and Qin Liang would not say anything nice to Zhang Ni. However, Qin Liang did not refute, after all, he wanted to change people The concept is sometimes more difficult than killing him.
Maybe it's just that people look at the problem from different angles.
The people of Wei and Shu have the same culture and race. Even if they have fought against each other for many years, the conflict between the two countries will not involve the entire people. At least it is impossible for Wei to conduct premeditated research and eliminate a certain group of people in the Three Kingdoms. There is even no need to treat them differently. The Han people in the Bashu land were the backbone of the assimilation of surrounding areas and expansion in depth.
Fei Wenwei, the great general of the Shu Han Dynasty, had a clearer view on this point, and his concept may be closer to that of Qin Liang. When Fei Wenwei evaluated the assassin Guo Xun, he said that Guo Xun did not serve as an official and had no obligations to the Wei court. , obviously understanding that the hostility between the two countries is limited to the rulers.
The people Zhang Yi from Badi identified with and was loyal to, of course, were not Bashu, but the Han Dynasty and the Liu family. The goal of the Liu family was to return the Central Plains to the Central Plains. After all, it was not to split the land and divide the territory. Since the Qin Dynasty, as long as the land of Kyushu Without reunification, the war cannot really stop, even if it destroys all the people in the country.
The first generation of monarchs and ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty governed the country more clearly, but their role was still limited. Because in essence, the Shu Han Dynasty was no different from the Wei Kingdom. The evil of the Wei Kingdom's monarchs and ministers could be done by the Shu Han court sooner or later.
Qin Liang raised his palm and waved it in front of Zhang Yi. He wanted to say that both the Shu Han people and the Wei people were Chinese.
But he glanced at the soldiers returning from the battlefield out of the corner of his eye, and temporarily changed his words: "Fu Qian's son has not been surrendered, and he is living well now."
He stopped persuading and walked towards the Guan Tower.
Yang Hu's voice said: "Look out for Zhang Yi and bring him back to Luoyang alive."
The soldiers responded: "Here."
When a group of people walked to the sloping stone stairs inside the wall, the soldiers on both sides looked at Qin Liang. First, a general clasped his fists and said, "Greetings, General!" For a while, everyone bowed to Qin Liang and said, "General Wei" "General Qin..."
As Qin Liang climbed the stone staircase, he simply returned the salute to the soldiers, sometimes just nodding in response.
The top of the city wall was already in front of him, and Qin Liang no longer paid attention to the movements around him. The oiliness and lethargy he felt after staying up late had also reduced, and now he seemed to be energetic all of a sudden.
On the top of the wall, the flag of the Wei Dynasty on the pass was fluttering and fluttering in the wind. For such a pass, the Wei army fought fiercely for many days. I don’t know how many battles took place. Now it is finally in the hands of the Wei army!
Yang'an Pass is one of the most important barriers in the Hanzhong Plain. Capturing this place is like opening a door.
The followers subconsciously slowed down their pace slightly. Qin Liang, wearing iron armor and holding his sword, was the first to climb to the top of the city alone.
Suddenly, Qin Liang noticed that the color of the wall tiles had changed slightly. He couldn't help turning his head and took a look, only to see the sun emerging from the clouds in the east.
Even if there are clouds and fog blocking it, the light between the sky and the earth will brighten, and the gloomy and gloomy atmosphere unique to the cloudy sky will be swept away immediately!
In winter, the climate in Hanzhong is very different from that in Guanzhong. There are fewer sunny days in winter. Qin Liang couldn't remember how many days it had been cloudy before, but he didn't expect that it only rained lightly last night.
The rain finally cleared up today.
Everyone walked behind the parapet one after another and stood on a high place to watch the scene here. No one said anything for a while.
Behind him is the camp of the Wei army, which was also the position where they attacked Yang'anmen before. Qin Liang stood on the wall and saw it with his own eyes. From here, he had almost an unobstructed view of the camp of the Wei army.
Those ditches and earthen walls, as well as the simple and unsophisticated arrow towers, amidst the light mist and a little fireworks, have a grand and simple primitive atmosphere, and the countless people and horses in them add a bit of lively vitality.
Outside Yang'anmen, it seemed very desolate at this time. Except for the sporadic cyclists, there were almost no people. Only the Zouma Ridge in the north remained majestic, and the Mianshui River in the south flowed quietly.
At this moment, two soldiers came up from the stone steps behind them. One of them had no helmet and his armor was covered with mud. He seemed to be a messenger. The other man was probably a guard from the city. After he came up to pay homage, he turned around and looked at
The messenger with dirty armor.
The messenger took out the paper from his arms, presented it with both hands and said: "Last night, on the order of Ambassador Deng, I came to report the military situation to General Wei. When I didn't want to pass through Seoul, I accidentally encountered the bandit army. The bandit army sent out cavalry to pursue them.
The servants and waiters were almost all killed, and they ran for a long time before they got rid of the pursuers."
Qin Liang took the letter, opened it and saw Deng Ai's handwriting.
The messenger continued: "I lost two of my cavalry and finally arrived at the camp this morning. The bandits abandoned Nanzheng last night, crossed the river on a pontoon bridge, and fled to the southwest. Ambassador Deng has led his troops in pursuit!"
Qin Liang said: "I understand, you go to the camp to rest first."
The messenger bowed: "Here."
Xin Chang immediately spoke: "The Shu armies of Nanzheng and Seoul broke out at the same time last night. They must have received Jiang Wei's military orders in advance and made an appointment to dispatch in one night."
Wang Shen said: "It rained last night and the bandit army did not change the date. It must be because the journey is far and it is inconvenient to reconnect."
Qin Liang thought to himself: The defenders of the two important towns of Shu and Han cannot break out at the same time, but it is easy to set them on the same night.
Moreover, Deng Ai's army camp is more than a hundred miles away from Yang'anmen. Even if there was a time error, Qin Liang and Deng Ai would not have time to report to each other. In fact, there was an accident in delivering the news last night, and Qin Liang and others only found out now.
Know the exact military situation.
At this time Yang Hu said: "Jiang Wei is really going to give up Hanzhong!"
There was no trace of the Shu army in Zouma Valley to the west. Before dawn, Jiang Wei's army withdrew along the valley. Qin Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Jiang Wei was very decisive this time."
Hui Yang Wei should send someone to report, and most of the Shu troops in Dingjun Mountain have also withdrawn."
After giving up, it was not easy to conquer Hanzhong again. Even the most powerful Wei State found it difficult to attack Hanzhong. It mobilized most of its elite troops and also seized the opportunity of Jiang Wei to withdraw from the siege and build up momentum.
Zhong Hui bowed and said, "Congratulations to General on your great victory and finally captured Hanzhong!"
After hearing this, the subordinates and generals congratulated Qin Liang one after another. Qin Liang returned the greeting with a smile and said: "It is not my fault alone, it all depends on the soldiers' lives and the concerted efforts of all of you."
It was obvious that everyone had really relaxed their spirits and started chatting easily while standing on the tower, and the atmosphere became much more casual.
???????????????When everyone left the Yang'anmen city gate, Qin Liang looked back at the direction of Zoumagu outside the door.

From that road, when you reach the West Han River, there is another important pass called Guancheng. If you continue south from Guancheng, you will reach the world-famous Jiange (Jianmen Pass), which can be blocked by one man.
and Jiameng Pass.
With the current situation, as long as the Wei army defends Yang'anmen and Wuxing (Lueyang) in the north, the Hanzhong Plain will be safe.
However, the Shu Han army can still threaten the Longyou area from Yinping. Although the roads in the mountainous areas are difficult to walk, there is always one road leading to Tazhong and Didao, and the other leads to Wujie in Wudu County and other places.
Therefore, it is best to take advantage of the victory and capture Yinping! Once you occupy Yinping, you only need to defend two or three dangerous and narrow passes, and it will be difficult for the Shu Han army to go north again. It can almost cut off the way for the Shu Han army to counterattack!
The group walked down Yang'anmen and rode back to the Chinese army camp. Qin Liang had not gone to Seoul yet and was still living in a tent in the military camp.
He returned to the Chinese army's tent, immediately rummaged through his luggage for a map, and began to ponder it. While his subordinates were in the tent, some were chatting and laughing, and some were just talking in low voices.
Of course Qin Liang is not willing to continue fighting. At this time, he just wants to return to Luoyang as soon as possible!
Firstly, the Wei court was still not very stable. Continuing the Hanzhong War was risky in itself. Because Wang Guang made his position clear and Empress Dowager Guo temporarily took charge of the situation, the risk was greatly reduced. Qin Liang chose to continue the war after weighing it.
Secondly, the Battle of Hanzhong had been going on for too long, and the soldiers were quite tired. The military achievements and prestige of capturing Hanzhong were already considerable, so there was no need to rush to continue the war with Shu.
At this time, Qin Liang weighed again and planned to send troops to attack Yinping.
If it can be won as soon as possible, it is of course the best situation; but if it turns into a war of attrition, he is ready to give up temporarily. Without Guancheng and Yinping, the Wei army cannot hold on to the fruits of victory in Hanzhong County and Wudu County.
The difficulty is just a little more complicated.
Qin Liang put down the map, stood up from the straw mat, walked back and forth for two steps, and then said to Xin Chang: "Instruct all the generals in the camp to come here tomorrow to discuss matters. Send someone to call Chen Xuanbo and Deng Shizai."
Xin Chang cupped his fists and said, "I'll do it immediately."
