Chapter 184: The state people can't be king

Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, the two uncles and nephews, can be said to have the same disease.

This time, Hanzhong Taishou sent two troops and horses to attack from the northeast to the southwest under the banner of King Zhao, the left side directly attacked Guanghan County, and the right side went down the river to Xiaba County, and Zhang Lu's ultimate goal was to break through the second pass of Guanghan.

Liu Zhang's reliance in Yizhou was nothing more than the reorganization of Guanzhong and the formation of Dongzhou soldiers by Jingzhou refugees, but more than half of the Dongzhou soldiers were killed and wounded in previous battles, but there were still most elite troops who were in the second pass of Chen Buguang and Han, and he made enough plans to abandon Bajun and use Baishui Pass and Jiameng Pass to forcibly reject Zhang Lu and Bei. In fact, this deployment is the result of Liu Zhang's years of planning in his heart since he killed Zhang Lu's mother in his early years, and with these two passes and the north-south Baishui line, even if Zhang Lu has an army of 100,000, he will not be able to pass.

Anyone who kills their parents must be prepared to die, and the sergeants of the fourth battalion in the north of the Dongzhou soldiers are fighting this battle!

Although the two passes are in Guanghan County, Baishui Pass is located in the north, and it is located in the traffic arteries of Wudu County of Liangzhou and Hanzhong County of Yizhou, so it is natural that the enemy from the north is also on guard. At that time, Liu Zhang's father, Liu Yan, relied on this pass to kill the court messenger in order to divide the territory; Jiamengguan is in the south of Baishui, the main defense is Ba County, is the northern traffic artery of Yizhou, the intersection of Jialing River and Baishui, Hanzhong by land, down to Chengdu, down the Jialing River, up to Langzhong, an important town in Brazil.

The history book praises and says: The peak is connected to the jade base, the ground is connected to the Jincheng, the sword pavilion is with the budding, the Jialing and the pillow is white, and the male of the Chengtian is also.

Liu Zhang, who lives in Chengdu, once said with a smile to the officials in the state: "What if Zhang Yu breaks my second pass, the mountain road is long, not to mention that I still have a sword pavilion!" Even if Yan Zhongqing is in person, he can only hate this! ”

Sword Pavilion is not the later Sword Gate. But even if it weren't for the Jianmen Pass made by Zhuge Liang later, just thirty miles of pavilion road alone would be prohibitive. From Hanzhong to Chengdu, it can be described as a dangerous road to mountains and rivers!

Yizhou is not like the north, especially in Hebei, even if there is no road in Jizhou, more than a dozen soldiers can be sent out with firewood knives to cut through thorns and thorns to break a road. But in Yizhou, such a thing doesn't work, there are mountains and rivers everywhere that people can't walk, except for the roads, soldiers and horses can't pass at all. And the road from Hanzhong, Liangzhou, and Ba County to Chengdu ...... There is only this north-south road, called the Golden Bull Road, also known as the Stone Ox Road.

This road is Qin Huiwen King Zhao Si in the north after sweeping the Yiqu to the west of Bashu, because of the mountain road is dangerous, as a five-stone ox, words can gold, in order to bully the king of Shu; The king of Shu ordered Wuding to open the way to lead him, and the Qin army then destroyed Shu. Hence the name of this road.

(Pre-Qin men only called their names, not their surnames, such as Ji's surname Wei, called Wei Ying; He is a descendant of the Wei royal family and is the Gongsun clan; Sealed in Shang, called Shang Marting. Wei Ying was split by Zhao Si's car, and Zhao Si also had a concubine called Mi Bazi, that is, Mi Yue)

This is also the reason why neither Yanbei nor the main government of the Guanzhong are reluctant to send troops to attack Yizhou, not to mention the two passes in the middle, even if it is only a thirty-mile-long cliff pavilion road, it can kill the northern elite.

Just like what Yan Bei told Yan Huan, no one is kind, and the reason why they don't make it bad is just because it's not cost-effective. If you want to conquer Yizhou from the north, the cost is too great, so you can only let Liu Zhang still govern Yizhou. However, what Yanbei is worried about, Zhang Lu, who has a new hatred and an old hatred, is not worried...... Zhang Lu knew Liu Zhang's strength better than anyone else, he knew very well that he had to deal with the Dongzhou soldiers, and he also knew very well that the passes and roads in various places were dangerous.

Zhang Lu is sure.

For this battle, he has been preparing for many years, and he has only one request for his subordinates - to drag the enemy at Baishui Pass, and he has a way to break through Jiameng Pass and reach Chengdu!

The Hanzhong soldiers advanced to the banks of the Baishui River in the second month of their expulsion, and it took only three days and nights for the fanatics of the Wudoumi Sect to build a pontoon bridge on the river, shouting for an attack on Baishui Pass.

There are 10,000 defenders in Baishuiguan, composed of two battalions of Dongzhou soldiers who are good at fighting and 4,000 Yizhou soldiers, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, of which the second battalion of Dongzhou soldiers is also equipped with the best ordnance armor in Yizhou. Yan Yan and Zhang Lu are old rivals, Liu Zhang has sent troops north to attack Zhang Lu many times, but they have been repulsed, each time it is Yan Yan who is responsible for the break, this time he commanded 4,000 Yizhou soldiers; The commander of the Dongzhou soldiers was the Brazilian Taishou Pang Xi, who was the leader of the Dongzhou scholars, and even held a private army in his hands.

The so-called Brazil is Liu Zhang's sub-Ba County, and the county above the Dianjiang River is the Brazilian county. The Eren, also known as the Ban Yu Man, is the ancestor of the native people of later generations, living near Hanchang County, brave and good at fighting, and once helped the Han Gao Emperor to pacify the world.

But Zhang Lu is still bound to win.

More than 20,000 Han Chinese army forwards rushed up to the city with the most rudimentary ordnance and ladders, and among them lay an ambush of elite soldiers wearing Guanzhong armor and blades, and killed the city without fear of death. However, despite their great momentum, when they attacked the city pass, they seemed to have thunder and rain, and only three or four hundred casualties of the defenders were killed and wounded all day, and the casualties in this formation were similar.

This caused the guards to look at each other.

Yan Yan probed the enemy situation under the gate, frowned, and said: "The enemy camp is unstable, although the momentum is great, there is no intention to fight to the death, and there must be fraud in it." ”

Pang Xi also felt bad, and asked Yan Yan tentatively: "What General Yan said is extremely true, this is different from their previous battles, but they want to send a team of elites to kill their prestige?" ”

Yan Yan shook his head, looking at Pang Xi's eyes respectfully and obediently, but there was jealousy in his eyes.

The incident happened suddenly, if it weren't for Zhang Lu's sudden attack, Pang Xi should have been unable to master the Dongzhou soldiers by now, because Yan Yan received a private message from Liu Zhang a few months ago, asking him to remove Pang Xi's military power.

Regardless of Liu Zhang's ability to govern, his ability to employ people is indeed not good. Don't look at Yizhou's geographical advantage, but the situation is not stable, and most of this restlessness is caused by Liu Zhang himself. First of all, Zhang Lu, a strong enemy in the north, Zhang Lu himself was a subordinate of Yizhou, in the early years when Liu Yan entered Yizhou, he used Zhang Lu's religious influence to eradicate the state's Haoqiang, and was friendly with Zhang's family, and when Liu Zhang took the throne, he killed Zhang Lu's mother, and the two families broke up and caused the current situation of Yizhou splitting.

Pang Xi is Liu Zhang's father-in-law, and it is said that he should be friendly, but at this juncture, Liu Zhang does not trust Pang Xi, who holds the Dongzhou soldiers. Because of what? for there are slanderers. Gen'er still thinks that Yizhou's armament is insufficient under the premise that Pang Xi holds the Dongzhou soldiers, and recruits this private army. This made Liu Zhang feel worried, Liu Zhang, who was geographically advantageous, was not worried about the huge Yanbei in the north and the terrible Zhang Lu, but even more worried about the Taishou under his subordinates, who regarded themselves as the ancestors and old ministers!

But he was worried about the wrong place.

On the day of the battle between the two sides, the rear army cavalry reported urgently, more than 20 days ago, Zhao Wei rebelled in the east of the state, leading the southern Dongzhou soldiers to march to Chengdu, and the state soldiers could not resist!
