When Liu Bei stepped into this No. 1 Xiongguan in Yizhou, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer afraid of Su Zhe's pursuit.

The remnants of the 60,000 Han army retreated into Guancheng, and the frightened Han soldiers were finally able to take a breath and heal the wounds of defeat.

Liu Bei appeased the hearts of a person while sending a fine work south to find out the next move of the Wei army.

Soon, Liu Bei received the news that after Su Zhe got Chengdu, he took all the money, silk, wine and meat he left in the treasury, rewarded the three sergeants, and held a banquet in his palace all day long, living a chic and happy life.

Su Zhe's chic reflected Liu Bei's loneliness, which made him even more annoyed and depressed.

Now that Chengdu City has fallen, he retreated to the Sword Pavilion, not only losing a Chengdu City, but also giving Su Zhe the two counties of Shu and Guanghan, where the Chengdu Plain is located.

In addition, the previous Ba County, the seven counties of Nanzhong, and two-thirds of the entire Yizhou counties were changed to the banner of the Wei State.

And Liu Bei himself, there is only one Hanzhong County left in his hands, and a Guanghan Shu, just two counties.

Among these two counties, only Hanzhong County is barely rich, but it is not the same as the lost hinterland of Yizhou.

"Su thief!"

Liu Bei gritted his teeth, handed over the information in his hand, and tore it to pieces, his face was gloomy and annoyed.

Most of the civil and military generals under the rank lost their temper, and they were all sad.

Even if it is Guan Yu, he is now sad.

"Although Chengdu is lost, Hanzhong is still in our hands, and the Sword Pavilion is still at the feet of Your Majesty, we still have the hope of regaining the lost territory, why should Your Majesty be downcast."

In a gloomy and gloomy atmosphere, Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and made a confident voice.

Everyone's expressions were slightly shocked.

At this time, Fa Zheng also followed: "The prime minister is reasonable, the Sword Pavilion is the throat of Shuzhong, as long as this is in our hands, then the Su thief will not be able to sit firmly even if he wins Chengdu, not to mention, we are still backed by Hanzhong." ”

The words of Qilin and Jueying gradually rekindled the morale of the generals, and confidence vaguely reappeared on everyone's faces.

Syllable!

Liu Bei also cheered up, slapped the case, and said loudly: "Prime Minister and filial piety are straightforward, we haven't lost this Yizhou yet, instead of sighing here, it's better to think about how to recover the lost territory." ”

The spirits of the generals lifted slightly, but when it came to how to deal with Su Zhe, they were helpless, and no one could come up with an idea.

Zhuge Liang's gaze could only fall on Zhuge Liang in the end.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said unhurriedly: "The Sword Pavilion is the first Xiongguan in Yizhou, there is a husband as the pass, and it is so steep that even the divine thunder cannon can't be blasted, the only thing we need to do now is to guard the Sword Pavilion, so that the Su thief can't go north to capture Hanzhong, and he can't get the whole Yizhou." ”

"As long as the Sword Pavilion and Hanzhong are in our hands, we are equivalent to a sword hanging over Chengdu, and when we want to fall, we can fall when we want."

"Su Thief has been attacking the Sword Pavilion for a long time, so he can only choose to withdraw his troops, which gives us a chance."

"If he leaves few troops, we can take the opportunity to wave our troops out of the customs, recover Chengdu in one fell swoop, and regain the lost territory."

"If he has a large number of soldiers, we can use a small number of troops to guard the Sword Pavilion, and we can contain ten times his soldiers and horses."

"And there is no danger to defend south of the Sword Pavilion, we can send light cavalry out of the customs at any time to raid the Chengdu Plain, so that the Su thief will never have peace."

"And Yizhou is uneasy, so the Su thieves can't concentrate all their strength on attacking our Guanzhong, but it is beneficial to us."

"If you look at it this way, the fall of Chengdu is not necessarily a bad thing."

Zhuge Liang sprinkled some words, and turned the unfavorable situation of trapping the city and losing the land into a good thing.

Liu Bei actually believed it.

He got up and paced the hall, his confidence gradually rekindled.

After a while, Liu Bei turned around and said happily: "What the Prime Minister said is very true, as long as the Sword Pavilion is still there, I can ask the Su thief to spit out what he ate sooner or later, and what you have to do is to work together with me to protect the Sword Pavilion to the death!" ”

"Death Preservation Sword Pavilion—"

"Death Preservation Sword Pavilion—"

The crowd in the hall was aroused and shouted in response to Liu Bei's generosity.

The corners of Liu Bei's mouth hooked up a hint of pride, and his eyes looked south, "Su thief, if you have the courage, come here, I will see what ability you have to break through the first Xiongguan in Yizhou!" ”

……

North of Chengdu.

The battle flag covered the sky, the sword was like a forest, and the 200,000 Wei troops rode on foot, starting from Chengdu and marching towards the Sword Pavilion.

The long procession, like a long snake, went north along the plain avenue, and there was no end in sight.

Su Zhe rode his red rabbit horse, and he still had the aura of a domineering emperor, so that the soldiers did not dare to look up.

Zhu Rong followed him, his eyes were not slanting at him a few times, his eyes were flowing with affection, and there was deep respect.

Since that day's feast, after asking for Zhurong through drunkenness, Su Zhe rested in Chengdu for another three days, which can be said to be the clouds and rain every night, enjoying the wild taste of the first beauty in Nanban.

Now that the essence of fire has been exhausted and the exhaustion has been swept away, it is time for the army to continue to march north and seize the whole of Hanzhong.

The news of the loss of Chengdu has long spread throughout the northern counties, and the entire Yizhou is panicked, and they are all intimidated by Su Zhe's heavenly might

As the army marched north, many county magistrates had already sent men to show their submission before his troops had even arrived.

The Wei army effortlessly took Xindu, Ruxian, Mianzhu, Fuxian, Zitong and other counties, and in less than ten days, the army approached Jiange.

The strength of the Wei army is strong, and Liu Bei naturally knows that when Su Zhe arrived at the pass before the army, Liu Bei was ready, and put on a posture of avoiding the pass without fighting and continuing to be a turtle with a shrunken head.

Su Zhe knew how dangerous the Sword Pavilion was, and he was not in a hurry to attack the fortifications immediately, so he only ordered the army to camp in front of the pass, and ordered the rear to transport grain and grass to the front line.

In the afternoon, after the camp was completed, Su Zhe personally went out of the camp and went to the vicinity of the Sword Pavilion to inspect the topography of this closed city.

Su Zhe knew that the Sword Pavilion in history, known as the first Xiongguan in Yizhou, was not inferior to Tongguan in any way in terms of danger.

Su Zhe doesn't believe in evil, but he wants to see how dangerous the legendary Sword Pavilion is.

When he immediately went up a hill and saw the terrain of the Sword Pavilion from a distance, he had to admit that the name of the first Xiongguan in Yizhou of the Sword Pavilion was indeed worthy of its name.

Moreover, it was even more precipitous than he expected.

This Sword Pavilion Pass is built between two mountain walls, the cliffs on both sides are towering like clouds, the whole gate is less than 50 steps, and there is a slope in front.

Such terrain meant that if Su Zhe wanted to tackle the problem, he had to climb a slope before he could reach the bottom of the city.

The width in front of the pass is less than 100 steps, and the number of troops used for deployment at one time is only more than 3,000 people at most.

This means that Liu Bei only needs to use less than 1,000 soldiers and horses, which is enough to hold the city, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are no problem hiding in the city and eating hot pot.

With such a terrain, not only is it difficult to attack, but even a siege weapon such as the divine thunder cannon cannot be used.

"This Sword Pavilion Pass, I don't think it's only the No. 1 Xiongguan in Yizhou, it's not an exaggeration to say that it is the No. 1 Xiongguan in the world......

Looking up at this majestic city, Su Zhe couldn't help but sigh.
