According to the regulations of the Han Dynasty, Hanzhong County is under the jurisdiction of Yizhou, looking at the entire Han Dynasty, the county level is comparable to the rich county in Hanzhong, that is, the number of hands.

Hanzhong is far away from the Central Plains, and it began to develop slowly during the Warring States Period, and the people of the Central Plains who fled the war came to Hanzhong one after another. Hanzhong has always been relatively stable, with abundant products, not known to outsiders, like a paradise. It was not until Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was named the king of Hanzhong by Xiang Yu that he was known to the world.

Xiang Yu didn't know the situation in Hanzhong, so he threw such a piece of fat meat to Liu Bang, so that Liu Bang picked up a big bargain, and then Liu Bang hoarded soldiers, horses, grain and grass in Hanzhong, and finally the surprise soldiers raided Guanzhong, laying the foundation of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. And when Liu Bang was named the king of Han, the capital was Nanzheng. Now Nanzheng still retains Liu Bang's palace at that time. The seat of Hanzhong County is Nanzheng, no matter how bold Zhang Lu is, he doesn't dare to touch Liu Bang's palace, let alone live in it, he directly sends heavy troops to protect it, and often repairs and cleans it, so as not to be caught by others.

It can be said that Hanzhong is a special place in the Han Dynasty, and the emperors of all dynasties have special feelings for Hanzhong. In later generations, when Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, he was supported by Zhuge Liang and others as the king of Hanzhong, emulating Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and finally ascended the throne as the emperor and became a generation of heroes.

And Liu Yu also attaches great importance to Hanzhong, as long as Hanzhong is won, then the people of the world will not be able to say anything to him, and at the same time, Liu Xie of Xuchang will be extremely embarrassed. If Liu Yu, the person who has been abolished from all titles, captures Hanzhong, then Liu Xie, as the Son of Heaven, will have to express something, and then Cao Cao will start to have a headache.

This is a good thing for Liu Yu. Because he thought of attacking the interests of Hanzhong, Fu Zhu planned to let Liu Yu crusade against Zhang Lu, and Zhang Lu also bumped into Fu Zhu's calculations with interest, which was his own death.

Zhang Lu's father, Zhang Ling, pioneered the Tao of Heavenly Masters and became a generation of grandmasters, and is now known as Zhang Tianshi. Zhang Luqing is better than the blue out of the blue, vigorously developing the Heavenly Master Dao in Hanzhong, and it is also reforming the Heavenly Master Dao, as long as you hand in five buckets of rice, you can become the disciple of the Heavenly Master Dao, and be protected by the Heavenly Master Dao for life. The Heavenly Master Dao is also known as the Five Bucket Rice Dao by others.

This is the best thing for civilians. In the eyes of the lords of the government and the wealthy families, the lives of ordinary people are not as valuable as a sheep, and they can do whatever they want to the people, and they don't have to worry too much about it at all. And Zhang Lu's reform made the people overjoyed, and they joined the Heavenly Master Dao one after another, and the Heavenly Master Dao has achieved unprecedented development. Zhang Lu did not break his word and became fat, and he protected the people who joined the Heavenly Master Dao. After Zhang Lu dominated Hanzhong, he cleaned up the corrupt officials and powerful bullies in the territory, and really did some good things for the people of Hanzhong, so Zhang Lu's prestige in Hanzhong was very high.

Taking Hanzhong is beneficial to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu quickly settled down with Shangyong. In order to buy people's hearts, Zhang Lu did not embarrass the people of Shangyong, and Zhang Lu retreated quickly, and Liu Yu also quickly occupied Shangyong. The people of Shangyong City were not too disturbed.

Liu Yu left 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison in Shangyong to stabilize the grain route, and the remaining 90,000 soldiers and horses began to march to Hanzhong.

As for Cai Mao, Liu Yu gave him a hundred dares and didn't dare to come again.

Binh Duong Pass.

A fierce offensive and defensive battle is underway.

Zhang Liao looked angrily at Pingyang Pass, and the guard on the pass was Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei, who stubbornly blocked Zhang Liao's several attacks.

"Wen Yuan, it can't go on like this. Pingyang Pass is so difficult to fight, I'm afraid morale will be low.

Gao Shun said worriedly.

As the commander-in-chief, Zhang Liao naturally knew that he couldn't go on like this, but Pingyang Pass was strictly guarded, and no matter what tactics Zhang Liao used, he would not come out.

Zhang Liao said helplessly: "The general is also very worried, the lord ordered us to attack Hanzhong, and now he is blocked outside this Pingyang Pass, in case the lord misses the big thing, it will be difficult to represent the lord." ”

Gao Shun's dead face also showed a worried look.

At this time, Huang Xu said: "When the last general was inspecting the surrounding area a few days ago, I heard a hunter say that there is a small road here to bypass Pingyang Pass, and the last general also went to observe, but on the edge of the cliff, only two people can be allowed to pass. I didn't know if I could use it, so I didn't look closely. ”

"General Huang, why are you only saying it now? Not to mention the path that two people passed, even if it was a sheep intestine path that one person passed, he would have to give it a try. Zhang Liao said reproachfully.

"The last general knows that he is wrong, please punish the general." Zhang Liao is the commander of this road of soldiers and horses, with the power of life and death, Liu Yu's army is clearly disciplined, Huang Xu did not dare to refute, and hurriedly admitted his mistake.

"Remember how that road went?" Zhang Liao is concerned about this issue.

"The general direction is no problem, and the last general is willing to act as a pioneer!" Huang Xu replied with the determination to atone for his sins.

Zhang Liao groaned, Huang Xu is Huang Zhong's only son, and he has not yet married, if there is a case, Huang Zhong may be dead.

"General Zhang doesn't have to worry, he will be a horse leather corpse for the general, and all the successes and failures will be borne by the next person." Huang Xu knew what Zhang Liao was afraid of, as Huang Zhong's son, he was quite taken care of in the army, but he had always been strong, and he didn't like this feeling of being taken care of.

Feeling Huang Xu's determination, Zhang Liao exclaimed: "Tiger father has no dog!" Ben will be ready. General Huang, I will appoint you as the pioneer of the road, and lead 5,000 infantry to bypass Pingyang Pass on a small road and attack our army on both sides. ”

"The last general obeys!" Huang Xu finally had a chance to prove himself and was very happy.

Gao Shun originally thought that he would go with the trapped camp, but when he saw Huang Xu volunteering, he also dispelled his thoughts.

Zhang Liao and Huang Xu agreed that they would launch an attack on Pingyang Pass at ten o'clock in the middle of the night, and as long as the fire was together, Zhang Liao would attack.

Huang Xu took 5,000 infantry out of the barracks in the middle of the night and headed for the path.

The path was more difficult than expected, and it was overgrown with a lot of weeds and trees, and dozens of soldiers fell off the cliff, and even Huang Xu almost fell down.

Many soldiers were bitten by poisonous snakes and reptiles and died.

It took Huang Xu and the others three days to get out of this trail. After counting, five thousand people lost almost three hundred. These are the elites of Liu Yujun, and Huang Xu's heart is dripping blood.

In order to restore the physical strength of these soldiers, Huang Xu found a hidden place to eat something and take a good rest. In order not to be discovered by others, they simply ate some dry food.

Zhang Liao has been attacking Pingyang Pass in the past few days, creating conditions for Huang Xu and them.

Zhang Liao was anxious, he was very worried that something was wrong with Huang Xu, and he was full of hope that Huang Xu could succeed.
