Chencang Road, also known as Chencang Old Road, is located in the southwest of Chencang County.
This is in Wudu County in Liangzhou, under the control of Cao Cao. From this road, go south out of Sanguan, go south along the riverside plank road, exit Chencang Road and arrive at Ju County in the east of Wudu County, you can go to
Head east to Hanzhong and arrive at Yangping Pass, the gateway to the west of Hanzhong.
For Cao Cao, after entering Yangping Pass, Hanzhong could be decided with a flip of the palm.
Historically, when Liu Bang left Hanzhong, he went north along the old Chencang Road and left Chencang to conquer the land of the Three Qin Dynasty.
Cao Cao led his army southward. Although the mountains were steep and the plank road was difficult to navigate, which made the team winding and long, it was not easy to travel. However, there were no obstacles along the way and there were no troops to block it. Cao Cao went south smoothly.
After Cao Cao left Chencang Road, he headed east along the Mian River towards Yangping Pass.
The guard general of Yangping Pass is named Yang Ang. He is a general under Zhang Lu. However, Yang Ang guards Yangping Pass and has been instigated by Guo Jia to rebel.
Guo Jia is also in Yangping Pass.
Guo Jia stayed in Nanzheng County and was just Zhang Lu's ordinary counselor. He had no chance of defeating Zhang Lu because he could not become Zhang Lu's core. Especially Zhang Lu's assessor is not assessing your strategy and ability, but looking at
The degree of your devotion to the Five Dou Rice Way depends on your knowledge of the Five Dou Rice Way.
This made Guo Jia a little helpless.
Finally, Guo Jia arrived at Yangping Pass.
Although Yang Ang was Zhang Lu's general, he was directly persuaded by the Guo family under Guo Jia's sharp tongue.
Yangpingguan, on the city tower.
Yang Ang and Guo Jia were playing chess and chatting in the room. Guo Jia was superb at chess, but he played chess casually without thinking about it at all, let alone taking long exams. Even so, Yang Ang was easily suppressed, and Guo Jia had to be chaotic from time to time.
Only the next few steps can keep Yang Ang going.
Yang Ang dropped a sunspot and said with a smile: "Commander Guo, the King of Qin went south from Chencang and has not arrived yet. If we continue to delay and wait for Lu Xuan to kill, something may happen."
Guo Jia looked confident and chuckled: "Don't worry, General Yang, King Qin has gone south and will arrive at Yangping Pass soon."
Yang Ang asked again: "Is Yuan Shao sure he will send troops?"
Guo Jia smiled softly, put down the Baizi in his hand, and his expression turned serious.
He looked serious and said solemnly: "General Yang, Yuan Shao gave a clear answer that he must attack Lu Xuan. This time, the two countries will attack Lu Xuan in an all-round way. Lu Xuan is indeed powerful, and the Wu State is very tyrannical, but he faces the two countries
There's nothing we can do about the attack, so there's no need for you to worry."
The reason why Guo Jia was able to instigate Yang Ang was because he was promised huge profits. Guo Jia promised to make Yang Ang the prefect of Hanzhong once Cao Cao captured Hanzhong. On the other hand, it was Guo Jia who told Yuan Shao that he was going to attack Lu Xuan.
Yang Ang felt that Lu Xuan was powerful, but he also felt that Lu Xuan would definitely be defeated by contemporary heroes like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Just waiting for Cao Cao's time, Yang Ang was always worried in his heart.
What Guo Jia did was to appease Yang Ang and ensure that Yang Ang would not have second thoughts before Cao Cao arrived.
After listening to Guo Jia's words, Yang Ang looked a little more confident.
Guo Jia smiled softly and said: "General Yang, the King of Qin is a man who misses the past, and he is also a man of integrity. Lu Xuan is different. Zhang Song from Yizhou surrendered to him, but was killed by Zhang Ren. Lu Xuan
Xuan didn’t express anything.”
"As for Liu Mao, Liu Zhang's third brother was also killed by Lu Xuan, and then Liu Mao's woman was snatched away by Lu Xuan. I heard that General Yang's wife is young and beautiful, and she is also a beauty."
"If you follow Lu Xuan, not only will you be in danger, but your family will also be in danger. However, my lord, King Qin, is different. He is a man of integrity and has a broad mind, so you should not have any doubts."
Yang Ang did not refute, but nodded slightly, cursing in his heart.
Aren’t Cao Cao and Lu Xuan both the same?
But for Yang Ang, surrendering to Cao Cao was the only way to maximize his benefits. He calmed down and continued to play chess with Guo Jia.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier came in, came to Yang Ang's side, and reported: "General, we have sent out sentries outside Yangping Pass and found that a large number of Cao's troops are coming from the west and are heading towards Yangping Pass to kill them."
Yang Ang ordered: "Don't worry about it, we just need to guard Yangping Pass."
"Here!"
The soldier turned around and retreated.
After the soldiers left, Yang Ang said excitedly: "Commander Guo, King Qin is here. Let's go to the tower and prepare to welcome him."
Guo Jia smiled and nodded in agreement, and came to the tower of Yangping Pass with Yang Ang.
This pass is built in a steep place, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and guards the western gateway of Hanzhong. Going north from Yizhou to Chengdu, if you want to enter Hanzhong, you need to enter through Yangping Pass.
Guo Jia looked at the surrounding mountains in the distance and said firmly: "Yangping Pass is a dangerous place. When King Qin arrives and we capture Zhang Lu, we will use Yangping Pass and Hanzhong to fight Lu Xuan."
"With Hanzhong as the foundation, energy will continue to consume Lu Xuan's army. It will even attract the power of Wu State. Yangping Pass will become the place of misfortune for Wu State, causing Wu State to turn from prosperity to decline.
"
Yang Ang said: "What Military Advisor Guo said is true."
The two were chatting and talking about the future. Not long after, Cao Cao's army arrived on the official road outside Yangping Pass.
The banners of Cao's army are flying loudly.
The army was as powerful as a rainbow.
"coming!"
A smile appeared on Guo Jia's face, he looked at Yang Ang and ordered: "General Yang, let's go, let's welcome King Qin together."
Yang Ang nodded.
He and Guo Jia got off the tower at Yangping Pass and sent the order to turn the switch on. The soldiers guarding the gate were a little confused, but all the soldiers were direct descendants of Yang Ang and his subordinates, so no one objected.
Guo Jia and Yang Ang came out of the customs and came to Cao Cao. Guo Jia was the first to salute and said: "Your Majesty, Guo Jia, pays homage to the King of Qin."
Yang Ang knelt down on one knee with a plop, clasped his fists and said, "General Yang Ping Pass, please pay homage to the King of Qin."
Cao Cao nodded to Guo Jia in greeting. He turned over and dismounted, stretched out his hands to support Yang Ang, the smile on his face became softer, and his tone was intimate, and he said: "I have heard of General Yang's virtuous reputation for a long time. Now I have General Yang's reputation.
With assistance, I, the king, will capture Hanzhong soon."
Yang Ang was even more excited when he saw how approachable Cao Cao was, and said loudly: "Yang Ang is willing to go through fire and water for the King of Qin, no matter what."
Cao Cao stroked his long beard under his chin and said with a smile: "My king does not need you to go through fire and water. What I need is that after we capture Hanzhong, General Yang will govern Hanzhong for me. Because you are a local and understand Hanzhong, you can implement policies in a targeted manner."
Yang Ang was even more happy when he received further promises, and said: "I will definitely live up to King Qin's high expectations."
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Enter the pass!"
The order was issued, Cao Cao led the army into the pass, and at the same time left an army to guard and blockade Yangping Pass to prevent Lu Xuan's army from arriving, which caused Lu Xuan's troops to follow into Yangping Pass.
After Cao Cao's army entered the pass, they did not rest at Yangping Pass and accelerated further towards Nanzheng.
Cao Cao planned to sneak into Nanzheng.
However, when Cao Cao's army entered Yangping Pass, the spies arranged by Fazheng had already discovered it when the army was advancing. They traveled as fast as possible day and night, and returned to Nanzheng City in the shortest possible time.
Fazheng heard the news from the sentinel and learned that Cao Cao had entered Yangping Pass. He secretly said that Cao Cao's men were powerful and easily instigated Yang Ang, the general at Yangping Pass.
However, this is also expected.
According to the original plan, Fa Zheng arranged for people to spread the news that Yang Ang betrayed Zhang Lu, surrendered to Cao Cao, and led Cao Cao's army into Hanzhong. As things continued, Fa Zheng was still waiting at his house, allowing public opinion to ferment.
More than half an hour later, the news spread completely, people in Nanzheng City were panicked, and there were constant discussions.
Countless people are worried about Nanzheng.
After all, Cao Cao had a precedent of massacring a city.
Fazheng ignored the public opinion and took Zhao Yun towards Yan Pu's residence. His plan was to rebel against Yan Pu first, and then Zhang Lu. The internal cook that Pang Tong had developed before was a hidden stake in Zhang Lu's house.
Fa Zheng did not use it.
This is the hidden trump card.
When Fa Zheng was operating in Hanzhong, the more trump cards he had hidden in his hand, the more easily he could make arrangements. Fa Zheng arrived at the gate of Yanpu's residence, asked the concierge to report, and then waited quietly.
