"I am the King of Hanzhong, what does Cao Mengde mean?"
Liu Bei almost shouted.
It turns out that not long ago, Liu Bei got the news that Cao Cao raised 300,000 troops to attack Hanzhong.
"Hmph, Cao Mengde was not satisfied with Liangzhou, so he reached out to Yizhou."
"My lord, we are weak and cannot compete with Cao Cao." Fa Zheng said, "But by taking advantage of the terrain, we may be able to get there first."
When Cao Cao entered Hanzhong from the north, he had to pass through Yangping Pass.
Yangping Pass borders the Qinling Mountains to the north, Hanjiang River and Bashan Mountain to the south, across the Xianhe River to the west and is far away from Zhanglu City on the Zomal Ridge. It is located at the Jinniu Pass to Bashu in the west and the Chencang Pass to Qinlong in the north.
It is at the horns of Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain to the south and north of the Han River. It is the western gateway of the Hanzhong Basin and the northern frontier from Bashu to Guanzhong. The geographical location is very dangerous.
You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.
Liu Bei's army is much simpler. The troops can enter Hanzhong after leaving Jiameng Pass.
"But it's just a chance. Sooner or later, they will have a battle with Cao Cao's army.
"Prepare for war!" Liu Bei said decisively.
"If Hanzhong is taken by Cao Cao, will he still be the king of Hanzhong?"
It¡¯s about face, Liu Bei has to fight.
"Brother, what is a mere Cao Mengde? Let me go to fight!" Zhang Fei volunteered.
"You are brave and brave. With you on your side, you will definitely be able to frighten Cao Cao's army." Liu Bei agreed.
"Okay, I will capture Hanzhong for my brother!" Zhang Fei said boldly.
It is said that Cao Cao sent out troops and ordered all the troops to prepare for Yangping Pass. After marching for 20 miles, it rained heavily, it was dark and difficult to move at night, and the men and horses were tired. The general suggested to rest for a day before leaving.
"No, the city of Yangpingguan is strong and can only be captured by surprise," Cao Cao said.
Then he ordered the army to continue advancing.
Marching to Buffalo Ridge, Cao Cao's army divided into three groups and entered Zhang Lu's camp. They fought until dawn and broke through dozens of battalions. After easily capturing Huixian and Fengxian, they began to march into Hanzhong and penetrated Yangping Pass.
Zhang Lu was extremely frightened.
"How about surrendering directly to Cao Cao?"
Faced with his brother¡¯s cowardice and incompetence, Zhang Wei said angrily:
"Brother, how can you give up your foundation to others?"
"But Cao Mengde leads an army of 300,000, and we are no match." Zhang Lu sighed.
Hanzhong only had a hundred thousand troops, which was one-half of Cao Cao¡¯s army.
"What are you afraid of? We are dangerously close to Yangping Pass. Is it possible that Cao Mengde can still fly over?" Zhang Weidao.
When it comes to Yangping Pass, Zhang Lu feels relieved.
Zhang Lu¡¯s counselor Yan Pu also said:
"My lord, if you surrender now, you will not only lose face, but you will also not be taken seriously."
Under the persuasion of the two men, Zhang Lu became determined to resist Cao Cao.
"Brother, please give me 50,000 elite soldiers, and I will definitely keep Cao Cao out of the pass."
"no problem!"
Zhang Lu agreed immediately.
So, Zhang Wei, Yang Ang, Yang Ren and others led their troops to support Yangping Pass and built strongholds on the mountains to hold on.
The scorching sun was in the sky, the flags were fluttering, and the horses were flying. Cao Cao's vanguard troops were heading towards Yangping Pass.
Cao Cao led his troops and was stationed outside Yangping Pass. After seeing this pass, he couldn't help but sigh: "What a natural barrier. Compared with Sishui Pass, it is no less generous."
"If we had known that Yangping Pass was dangerous earlier, we would not have attacked here."
Cao Cao attacked Yangping Pass for many days but failed.
Zhang Wei was young and energetic and wanted to make great achievements, so he went out of the city to fight with Cao Cao, but was defeated and returned.
He immediately gave up all thoughts of fighting in the field with Cao Cao's army and could not stand firm.
Cao Cao had no choice but to retreat first, firstly to wait for the follow-up troops, and secondly to relax Yangping Pass.
Sure enough, seeing Cao Cao's army retreating, Zhang Wei immediately relaxed his vigilance.
One night, everything was silent. No matter inside or outside the pass, it was pitch black at the moment, and you couldn't see your fingers.
The lax defenders yawned. Although they were few in number, they thought it was impossible for Cao Cao to pass through due to the natural danger.
Suddenly, fire broke out in several places in the pass, and the fire was so fierce that the defenders of the pass could see it.
"No, it's on fire! Why don't you go put out the fire quickly?"
The defenders were in a panic, putting out fires everywhere. The fire that broke out at the same time,The defenders panicked.
Zhang Wei also woke up from his sleep.
"How could a good thing catch fire? And let the food and grass be burned?"
Soon, the drumbeat of Cao Cao's army answered Zhang Wei's question.
"Quick, follow me to the city wall to defend the city!"
Zhang Wei quickly commanded a team of three thousand people to climb the city wall. They were all holding bows and arrows and carrying a pot of arrows on their backs.
"You really don't know how to live or die. Let Cao Mengde know how powerful we are today! Still want to attack me? Come on, shoot the arrow!"
After giving the order, countless arrows formed a rain of arrows, overwhelmingly shooting at Cao Cao's army in the dark night.
"It's a pity that Cao Cao's army had been prepared for a long time. He climbed the ladder with his shield and rushed to the city wall regardless of his own safety.
Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!
The battlefield continues to make the sound of arrows and shields colliding.
"rush!"
Cao Cao¡¯s elite troops scaled the city wall and started hand-to-hand combat.
Zhang Wei could not resist, so Yang Ang quickly led his troops to support and drove back Cao Cao's army.
clang clang clang!
With a burst of rapid gongs and drums, Cao Cao's army retreated.
"General, this is a great opportunity. Ma Mengqi can chase Cao Cao and make him lose his armor, so can we," Yang Ang said.
Zhang Wei hesitated.
"No, this is Cao Cao's treacherous plan." Yang Ren objected.
"If you are timid, you don't have to come. General, give me five thousand troops, and I will definitely succeed." Yang Ang said.
¡°Remember, if something goes wrong, retreat immediately.¡± Zhang Wei warned.
Yang Ang was overjoyed and led his army to pursue Cao Cao into the night.
"How dare you chase me! Why don't you die quickly!" Cao Cao laughed.
Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang came out to attack Yang Ang.
"Fell into a trap!"
Yang Ang was shocked and wanted to escape, but was killed by Xia Houyuan with a single sword.
Cao Cao¡¯s army took advantage of the situation to counterattack and entered Yangping Pass.
Zhang Wei led his army to resist for a while, but was unable to recover. Finally, he and Yang Ren fled back to Nanzheng.
Losing Yangping Pass would expose Hanzhong to Cao Cao's troops.
"Brother, I am not to blame for this. It was Yang Ren and Yang Ang who insisted on fighting, which led to our army's defeat."
Zhang Lu was furious and wanted to kill Yang Ren.
Yang Ren cried bitterly and was stared at by Zhang Wei, so he had no choice but to shift the responsibility to the dead man.
"Yang Ang refused to listen to dissuasion, which is why he was defeated. Lord, give me another 20,000 troops, and I am willing to issue a military order to delay Cao Cao's army for seven days."
Zhang Lu was in panic all day long, always afraid that Cao Cao would attack, so he agreed to Yang Ren's request.
So Yang Ren commanded an army of 20,000 people and set out to camp outside Nanzheng, preparing to stop Cao Cao's army.
After Cao Cao captured Yangping Pass, he ordered Xia Houyuan to lead five thousand troops and sent out sentries on the Nanzheng Road. He happened to encounter Yang Ren's army and horses.
The two armies set up their positions, and Yang Ren sent his general Chang Qi to fight with Xia Houyuan. The battle failed, and Yuan cut him off his horse with a sword.
Yang Ren took action and fought with Xia Houyuan for more than 30 times, with neither victory nor defeat.
Xia Houyuan had no choice but to feign defeat and ran away. Yang Ren chased him from behind, but Yuan used a dragging knife trick to kill him off his horse.
