Attacking Chengdu from Hanzhong, that is how to fight and how easy. As long as you capture Jiameng Pass and Baishui Pass. There is no longer a strong city to hinder the south. You can march all the way to Chengdu. Of course, if Jia Meng Pass is well guarded, it will be difficult to go south. In history, Huo Jun led hundreds of people to defend Jia Meng and resist the attack of more than 10,000 people from Liu Zhang's troops for a year. Huo Jun is certainly powerful, but it also shows Jia Meng's danger.

Liu Zhang and his subordinates were not unaware of the danger and urgency of the matter. But Zhang Wei's request for help was still ignored. Because between Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu, there is no possibility of reconciliation at all. Both families wish each other would die soon. After Liu Yan's death that year, Liu Zhang succeeded him. As a result, Zhang Lu didn't know if it was because he didn't set up Liu Mao or what's going on, and refused to accept Liu Zhang's order. Hanzhong is the barrier of Yizhou, Zhang Lu did not listen to the order, and Liu Zhang was furious. So he left Zhang Lu in the family in Chengdu, including Zhang Lu's mother, and killed them all. Then he sent troops to attack Zhang Lu. This is really a blood feud. So how can you say that these two families can be reconciled?

Zhang Wei took the risk and wrote to Liu Zhang. In Liu Zhang's view, it was Zhang Lu who was malicious in his heart, so that he could earn his soldiers and horses to send to death. Anyway, Hanzhong and Bajun are not mine, so let Cao Cao grab it. You Zhang Lu also have today. Hum.

As for what happened after Hanzhong and Bajun were occupied by Cao Cao, let's talk about it then. If Cao Cao dares to attack. Liu Zhang naturally has the means to deal with it. The first is to believe that his subordinates can guard the dangerous pass. The second is that he thinks that everyone is Hanchen, how can Cao Cao beat himself if he has no reason and no reason? The third is that if Cao Cao comes and he can't resist it, then there is one last way, which is to invite Liu Bei to come to Yizhou. Guanzhong, Liangzhou and Yizhou are close at hand. Liu Bei is here, not afraid of Cao Cao's arrogance. Of course, this is the last way to go. If it really comes to the point of inviting Liu Bei into Sichuan, it also means that Liu Zhang's rule in Yizhou can no longer be maintained. If Cao Cao really forced Liu Zhang to this role, Liu Zhang would naturally invite Liu Bei. Anyway, everyone is surnamed Liu. It can't be cheaper for outsiders.

The war in Hanzhong was together, and the people who had fled here saw that they were terrible, and they couldn't live in peace here. Ask each other again, what, the general Liu Beibing has entered the pass? So what are you waiting for, go back to your hometown. The general came, and Li Dao and the others had no good life. Based on Liu Bei's stable performance over the past ten years, he has established a deep trust in the hearts of the people. The people had unreserved faith in him to defeat Li Dao and others. So he helped the old and the young, crossed the Qinling Mountains, and returned to his hometown.

This will confront Liu Bei in Bashui and the Ma and Han coalition forces. Elsewhere, it was calm. Groups of people poured out of the Qinling Mountains, which surprised Duan Xuan, who was stationed in Lantian, and after asking clearly, he reported to Liu Bei. Then he began to reassure the people and make them register them one by one. Then they promised that as long as they had the land deed in their hands, they would definitely return their original family property.

Liu Bei received a report from Duan Xuan and was overjoyed. Among the ministers of Huayin, Sima Fang was old and heavy, and he served as a magistrate. So he asked Sima Fang to go to Lantian and take charge of civil affairs.

Cao Cao surrounded Nanzheng and attacked day and night. The Hanzhong soldiers will soon be unable to bear it. Yizhou has been in peace for many years, how is it the opponent of Cao Jun, who has experienced the wars of the Central Plains. Cao Jun's lifeless posture from top to bottom made the Hanzhong soldiers afraid. This fear, the knife and gun in his hand are weak. Cao's army, under the leadership of the vanguard general, attacked the city in one fell swoop, and then the city was in chaos. Run, run, run. Soon the head of Nanzheng City was swept away. The gates were opened a little later. Cao Cao was overjoyed when he saw that the city was broken, so he led a large army into the city.

Yang Ang lost the city, retreated to the city, and set fire to the treasury before fleeing. He is not Zhang Lu, and he has to seal the mansion before escaping. In his mind, Nan Zheng was lost, and the money and food could not be used to support the enemy. By then, Ba County will still have to fight. What's more, if you have to run away and put a fire, you can escape more easily.

As soon as Cao Cao entered the city, he saw black smoke rising into the sky. When someone asked, it turned out that the guards were arson in the city. Cao Cao scolded and hurriedly commanded Qu to put out the fire. Now this Nan Zheng is his territory. This fire made him really distressed. Wait until the fire is finished. The treasury has burned to the ground. All the grain and cloth inside were burned, and only some copper coins and blades that had not yet melted were left. And there are not a few houses affected. Many people were already kneeling outside the ruins and weeping. Cao Cao sighed lightly and ordered: "Count the number of people, there are burns and burns to death, double the pension." Re-grant money and food houses. Exempt from one-year rent for his family. ”

Defeating Nanzheng means that the entire Hanzhong has fallen into the hands of Cao Cao. Now a question is whether to continue to fight Zhang Lu in Ba County, or to go to Chuyang and cross the Han River to fight Liu Zhang. The door of Shu County has been opened to Cao Cao, and this temptation is really difficult to resist.

It was Guo Jia who made Cao Cao sober up: "The lord raised troops to crusade against Zhang Lu, since Zhang Lu is still there, it is better to go down to the county first." If Deba County and Hanzhong, Shu County can be attacked at any time. If you turn to Chuyang, the lord will lose the hope of the world. Besides, Liu Bei is close at hand, and he has no excuse to come to Hanzhong, and the lord will attack Liu Zhang, and he will come to the rescue. I also hope that the lord will think twice. ”

Well, as soon as Guo Jia said this, Cao Cao immediately reacted. Xuande was just dragged down by the warlord Guan Liang, and to say that he was not interested in Yizhou would be a hell of a thing. I took the opportunity of Xuande to pacify Guanzhong to come to Hanzhong, but now is not the time to provoke Xuande. It is true to quickly pacify Zhang Lu, and then stabilize the rule of Hanzhong and Bajun. Yizhou lost Hanzhong and Ba County, and the door was wide open. When Xuande returns to Qingzhou, he has no choice but to benefit from Qingzhou.

Cao Cao, who thought clearly, stayed in the forbidden town to guard Nanzheng, and he led other soldiers, and after the grain was replenished, he went south and attacked Ba County.

Zhang Wei saw that Cao Cao did not stop, and came to attack Ba County, but he had no choice but to make Yang Ang guard Langzhong, and he himself guarded Jiangzhou. He also contacted Pu Hu, Du Hao and others to lead the barbarians to help. Although Pu Hu is the head of the seven surnames, it is a pity that he can't command the most powerful barbarian. That's the banban. The entire Ban Xunman only recognized Liu Bei alone. The leaders and soldiers of the family all went to Liu Bei's side as pro-soldiers. Du Hao and Pu Hu wanted to recruit Ban Xunman, but they went to the deep mountains and old forests and didn't come out.

Zhang Wei and the barbarian leader trained in Jiangzhou. Prepare to fight Cao Cao. Before long, the news came, Langzhong was lost, and the general Yang Ang died in battle. When Zhang Lu heard the news, he couldn't help but feel gloomy. Yang Ang followed him for a long time and was loyal to him. Unexpectedly, he died in Langzhong.
