In Zitong City, Zhang Ren, Liu Bi, Leng Bao, and Deng Xian got together to discuss the strategy of attacking Ba County.

Liu Bi said: "I heard that Xu Huang, the commander of the Guanzhong Army, has fallen ill and is unconscious, and only Liu Pi is in charge of the whole army. ”

"I think that Liu Pi is just a yellow turban general, what kind of talent can he have? In addition, the main general is unconscious, and the soldiers in Guanzhong must be panicked, if we send troops to attack Langzhong now, we will be able to break the thief army in one battle. ”

Zhang Ren came from a humble background, but with his own talents, he finally became an official in Yizhou, and now he is in the prime of life, bold and brave, and has great ambition.

Zhang Ren not only won Liu Zhang's respect, but the rest of the generals in Yizhou were also very convinced of him.

After listening to Liu Bi's words, Zhang Ren stroked his beard and said: "General Liu should not despise the Yellow Turban generals, Chen Wenzhao was born in the Yellow Turban, but it is not a fluke that he can lay such a big foundation. ”

"The generals under his command, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Xu Huang, used to be Yellow Turban generals, but they have long been famous."

"This Liu Pi has been leading troops to fight since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and over the years, he must have accumulated a lot of experience, which should not be underestimated."

Due to the appearance of Wen Zhao, history has already changed a lot, and because Dian Wei and Zhao Yun have been serving under Wen Zhao, it is equivalent to defecting to the Yellow Turban.

As for Xu Huang, because he was born in the White Bo Army, he can be regarded as branded with the Yellow Turban Army. The rest like Wang Yan, Chen Hu, Chen Jing, Gao Shun and others can also be regarded as joining the Yellow Turban halfway.

These generals have all made great achievements now, so the world does not dare to despise the Yellow Turban generals too much.

Leng Bao and Deng Xian are also famous generals in Bashu, and they all nodded secretly when they heard the words, and the lion fighting the rabbit should also go all out, and when a real famous general faces the enemy, he will not be paralyzed and careless.

What's more, their opponent is still the elite of Guanzhong!

Liu Bineng and Zhang Ren are side by side, naturally they are not vain, he pondered for a while, and then said: "Although what the general said is good, if you don't take advantage of Xu Huang's coma, you can conquer Langzhong in one fell swoop." ”

"When Xu Huang wakes up and personally guards Langzhong, or Chen Wenzhao leads the army into Ba County, it will be ten times more difficult to regain the lost territory."

"If you don't take it, you will be blamed for it, I suggest that you should do your best to attack the Zitong army, attack Langzhong under the starry night, and break through this city at any cost."

"If Langzhong is broken, the southern part of Ba County can be determined, and we will also defend this place to resist the Guanzhong army."

Several famous generals of Bashu discussed for a long time, and finally Zhang Ren and the others felt that Liu Bi's words were very reasonable, and they all decided to do their best to kill Langzhong.

At the same time, Liu Pi left Jiangzhou and rushed to Langzhong to prepare for the arrival of the Yizhou army.

As for Xu Huang, who was in a coma, he was left in Jiangzhou.

In addition, there were 20,000 Guanzhong troops led by Yan Pu, who placed prisoners in Jiangzhou to protect Xu Huang.

……

It is difficult to go to Shu and it is difficult to go to the sky.

Although the straight-line distance between Zitong and Langzhong is not too far, if Zhang Ren and the others want to lead the army to Langzhong, they must first march northeast to reach the Sword Pavilion.

The Sword Pavilion is a dangerous pass, located between the Big Sword Mountain and the Little Sword Mountain, and it is the first dangerous pass in the world that is naturally formed.

The Sword Pavilion is majestic and Cui Wei, a husband is a pass, and it is the only way for the old Qin and Bajun to enter Shuzhong, and its geographical location is very important.

Zhang Ren led the Yizhou army and drove on the narrow road.

He looked at the towering mountains everywhere, and couldn't help sighing: "The peak is connected to the jade base, the ground is connected to the Jincheng, the sword pavilion is with the budding, the Jialing is located and the pillow is white, and the male of the Chengtian is also." ”

"There is such a strong pass in Shu, if the general guards this place, even if there are 100,000 troops to attack, why be afraid?"

When Liu Xuan, Leng Bao, and Deng Xian heard this, they all nodded secretly.

Seeing that he was about to leave the position of the Sword Pavilion, Zhang Ren suddenly said: "The Sword Pavilion is the gateway to Shu, there must be no generals stationed there, I don't know who is willing to guard this place?" ”

Liu Xuan and the others were stunned for a moment, and said with some confusion: "If the thief army wants to attack the Sword Pavilion, it must first break through the Jiameng Pass, and the general is now letting people divide troops to garrison this place, isn't it too much of a fuss?" ”

To the northeast of the Sword Pavilion, there is also a dangerous pass called Jiameng Pass, which is the location where Zhang Fei and Ma Chao fought in history.

The reason why the land of Bashu is steep is not only because of the Sword Pavilion and the steep roads, but more importantly, the passes here are constantly connected, and each pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If Xu Huang had attacked Guanghan County directly from Hanzhong, he would have to conquer the three dangerous passes of Baishui Pass, Jiameng Pass, and Sword Pavilion successively. Each of these three dangerous passes is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it holds the only way to enter Shu.

The Guanzhong army can also bypass Baishui Pass from here, and march directly from Langzhong along the Western Han River to the northwest, and then directly attack Jiameng Pass.

But if Jiameng Pass is not breached, there is absolutely no way for the Guanzhong army to reach the Sword Pavilion. What's more, now that the Guanzhong army has no leader, the people who should be careful are Liu Pi and them.

Therefore, Liu Bi and the others felt that Zhang Ren wanted to divide his troops to guard the Sword Pavilion at this time, which seemed a bit redundant.

Zhang Ren stared at the dangerous pass of the Sword Pavilion quietly, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, he frowned tightly and thought for a long time, before he suddenly shouted: "I almost fell into Xu Huang's treacherous plan again!" ”

Liu Bi and the others were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Why did you fall for Xu Huang's trick again?" ”

……

In Jiangzhou City, the news about Xu Huang's illness and coma spread more and more fiercely, Yan Yan wanted to go to the county guard mansion to visit Xu Huang, but was blocked by the soldiers.

Although he did not surrender, while thanking Xu Huang for his kindness, he also admired Xu Huang very much, so he wanted to care about Xu Huang.

After being mercilessly blocked outside by the armor soldiers, Yan Yan's brows couldn't help frowning, but he also knew his identity and didn't say anything.

Although Xu Huang allowed Yan Yan to walk freely in the city, Yan Yan was a prisoner after all, and he could feel that there were many armor soldiers in the city, all quietly watching him.

In the final analysis, Guan Zhongjun still did not completely trust Yan Yan.

Especially after Xu Huang was seriously ill and fell into a coma, Yan Yan could feel it, and this feeling of being watched became more and more intense.

Yan Yan, who was bored in every way, couldn't help but walk back and forth in the city while worrying about Xu Huang.

Unconsciously, he had come to the outside of the Guanzhong Army barracks, and looked at the neatly formed and well-armored Guanzhong sergeant with some envy and jealousy.

"I didn't expect Xu Gongming to be seriously ill and in a coma, and the Guanzhong Army was able to maintain such a strong morale."

Listening to the earth-shattering shouts and killings in the barracks, Yan Yan's face became more and more worried. He kept patrolling the barracks, and when he saw the Guanzhong Army raising the flag, his eyes shrank suddenly.

"The banner of 20,000 people, why are the soldiers and horses so loose?"

When Yan Yan saw this situation, he felt more and more uneasy in his heart, and suddenly he seemed to think of something. His face changed dramatically.
