On this day, Hanzhong County, the county guard's house, the council hall. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Hui came to the council hall to report on the situation of the water, and said: "Lord, now that summer is about to begin, the flood season of the Han River is coming, and the water will recede, let alone more than a month. Even if the road is flooded with mud and cannot be moved after retreating, Xu Huangbu has nothing to fear. The general can go to Yangping Pass, Li Yi is far away, and he is about to enter the summer, and he will not be able to last long. ”

Wang Ping was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "If it weren't for De'ang's clever plan, Hanzhong would not be guaranteed, and I could go to Yangping Pass with General Ben today." ”

So, Lu Bu left Yang Song, Yang Bai guarded Hanzhong, and Yan Pu and Yang Ren supervised the logistics of grain and grass. With all the 30,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, he went to Yangping Pass.

………………

As soon as the front foot left, the Yang Mansion in Hanzhong, a litter of sheep began to discuss.

Yang Song said: "Now that Emperor Wude of the Tang Dynasty has arrived, Wang Ping will undoubtedly be defeated. If you and I resist, our family business will not be protected. ”

Yang Bai nodded and said: "In the past, Sect Master Zhang Lu was not kind to us, but he was expelled by Liu Bei and almost died, now is the perfect time to take revenge." ”

Yang Ren pondered for a while and said: "The untouchables in the countryside are more likely to accuse us, if Emperor Wude learns, he will definitely not allow you and me, so what can I do?" ”

It turned out that since Liu Bei occupied Hanzhong, he wanted to use the Yang family. The Yang family has become the largest snake family in Hanzhong, with tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land at home, exploiting the people's fish and meat in the township.

In the eyes of the three of them, Liu Bei would definitely not be able to defeat Li Yi, and if he didn't surrender, he would inevitably die. However, if you surrender, if the people complain, it will be difficult to ensure that you will not die, and you will not be worried.

"The trend of the times is the same, if we don't surrender, we will definitely die, and only by surrendering can we have a turnaround." Yang Song said with a bitter face.

Yang Bai rolled his eyes and said: "You and I can be exempted from sins if we have the merit of dedicating the city, and if we can make new contributions, we will be able to keep the glory and wealth." ”

Yang Song asked, "How to make new contributions?" ”

Yang Bai said with a smile: "I heard that Wang Ping has a sister named Wang Yi, who looks like the country and the country, and is married to Zhao Ang, a few years ago, Zhao Ang died in the chaos, Wang Yi has been widowed since then, and is now in the city. Let's arrest it and dedicate it to Emperor Wude, wouldn't it be a great achievement? As soon as Emperor Wude was happy, our glory and wealth were not only preserved, but also the official and knighted, and the lintel was glorified. ”

The two were overjoyed, so they decided that if Wang Ping was victorious, they would remain quiet, and if Wang Ping was defeated and returned, they would sacrifice the city to protect the wealth.

………………

In late May of the third year of Wude, Wang Ping came to Yangping Pass and convened the generals to discuss the matter.

There is a detailed report, the Tang army is divided into three teams, and there are vanguard battalions Huang Zhong and Wang Shuang in the front. Li Yi led the Chinese army in the center to go down to the village, and Guo Huai escorted the grain and grass to protect the grain road.

Li Huijin said: "Yangping Pass is the most dangerous place in Han, but it can't last long if you just stay alone. The general can go out of the customs and choose dangerous places in the mountains and forests on the left and right to set up more camps. If the Tang army came to attack Yangping Pass, it would attack the two flanks behind it from the left and right. If the Tang army attacked the camps on the left and right in front of the pass, the villages would stick to each other's defense, and I would send troops to attack behind the pass. When the Tang army is tired and the grain and grass are scarce, they can attack from three sides with one drum, which is the momentum of the corner. ”

Wang Ping was overjoyed when he heard this, so he left Li Hui and Yin Hui to lead 10,000 horses to guard the pass, and raised 20,000 troops to go out of the pass. Ma Zhong is on the right side of the pass, Wang Ping is on the left side of the pass, and more than ten walled fences have been established.

The news that the Shu army went out of the customs to establish a camp was soon reported to the Tang army pioneer camp by the Tang army scouts.

Wang Shuang, the deputy pioneer, has just entered the Marquis of Jueguan, which is already a great honor for him from a poor family, but Wang Shuang is still not satisfied. intends to make new contributions, but also to get ahead in the Tang Army, which is full of fierce generals. Knowing that Wang Ping was out of the village, he came to Huang Zhong to discuss: "Hansheng, the enemy army has newly established a big village, and the foundation is unstable, why don't you go to rob the village tonight?" ”

Although Huang Zhong is not old, the so-called Lao Ji Fu Fang is ambitious for thousands of miles, and he also has the ambition to make contributions, and Wang Shuang hit it off, saying: "Wang Ping is in Guanzuo, tonight you and I will attack the camp in Guanyou." ”

That night, Wang Ping's soldiers were tired from building the camp, and they rested after nightfall. On the second watch, suddenly the outer camp caught fire, and in the shouting of killing, I don't know how many Tang troops poured in.

Ma Zhong hurriedly led the army to save the village, but he couldn't resist the soldiers and horses of Huang Zhong and Wang Shuang, and he was defeated and retreated, losing three camps in a row.

At the time of the great victory, Huang Zhong was very calm, and after burning the third camp, he restrained the soldiers and horses, and said to Wang Shuang: "You must have alarmed the right side of the pass, and the enemy on the pass has already made a contribution at this time, so it is better to retreat." ”

However, Wang Shuang was young and vigorous, and he was unwilling to accept it when he saw it, and said: "It is the time to break through the enemy's Guanzuo Company camp in one go. ”

When the two were at a stalemate, they shouted behind them, and saw Wang Ping coming to the rescue of the Guanzuo army.

"Killing Wang Ping is the first achievement!" Wang Shuang didn't say a word, and led his troops and horses to meet Wang Ping.

Wang Shuang's force value is also extremely high, with 88, but Wang Ping, as a general with a number of Shu Han, is not a good person, and his force value is also 82.

At this time, the shouting of killing in the direction of Guan Shang started, and it turned out that Li Hui saw that Guan You was on fire, so he led the army to rescue, and Huang Zhong immediately led the troops to block it. In a moment, Ma Zhong led the army to fight back.

In this regard, the soldiers and horses of the three parties besieged and killed the vanguard battalion of Huang Zhong and Wang Shuang. The Tang army couldn't resist for a while, and Huang Zhongsheng was afraid that he would be surrounded, so he immediately retreated. The two of them joined together and led their soldiers and horses to rush out.

This time it won first and then lost, but in general, it was also evenly matched.

Wang Ping and the three parties were in one place, and said to Li Hui: "If it weren't for the momentum of De'ang, the Tang army would definitely break through the Guanzuo Company camp tonight." ”

Although he repelled the night attack of the Tang army, Li Hui was not happy, and said to Wang Ping: "General, although you win tonight, you can't be careless. You have to guard Dazhai day and night, but whenever there is an enemy, everyone will go to save it, and the Tang army will not be able to break it one by one, and Hanzhong will not have to worry about it. ”

Wang Ping obeyed his words, and ordered all the armies to return to their respective villages and guard them carefully.

………………

The next morning, Li Yi was promoted.

Jia Xu came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from Xu Huang's department. Wang Ping broke the Han River, the water blocked the road, and Xu Huang's troops could not reach Hanzhong in the short term. ”

Because Wang Ping has Xiongguan and Yangping Pass, Li Yi's headquarters does not have too many advantages. He came to Yangping Pass for a few days and stood still, that is, when he waited for Xu Huang's troops to arrive in Hanzhong and Wang Ping could not take care of the whole thing, he would start to attack Yangping Pass. However, now that Xu Huang's troops can't come, they can't form a flanking attack, so the battle of Hanzhong will enter a predicament, and everyone can't help but feel worried when they hear it.

At this time, Jia Xu played again: "Your Majesty, the battle report sent by the forward battalion this morning. Wang Ping sent troops outside the pass and set up more than a dozen camps on both sides of the Yangping Pass, such as Luchai. Huang Zhong and Wang Shuang attacked the enemy camp on the right side of the pass at night. At the beginning of the victory, how to close the left and close the enemy to help, it became a three-way attack. Huang Zhong and Wang Shuang couldn't resist and retreated back. ”

After listening to Jia Xu's report, Li Yi thought for a while, then made a decision and ordered: "Xu Huang's department is no longer able to come to support, spread my will, and the Chinese army and the rear army brigade will be mobilized." Go to the vanguard camp and take up camp, prepare siege equipment, and wait for the opportunity to go to war. ”

"Whoa!" The people took the command and departed.

Half a day later, Li Yi came to the pioneer camp, and in the big tent, he listened to the recitals of Huang Zhong and Wang Shuang. Li Yi did not blame the two, but said with relief: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and it is good to be enterprising." Let the Son not be reckless, but listen to persuasion. ”

Wang Shuang was very ashamed and bowed again.

In the afternoon, Li Yi personally led a team of soldiers and horses to check in front of Yangping Pass. I saw that on both sides of the pass, the trees were luxuriant, the mountains were steep, and there were small rivers around. Through the dense woods, only the shadow of the enemy camp could be faintly seen, and there was no path into it.

Li Yi frowned and said, "This place is really sinister, easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

Jia Xu said: "The places where the enemy stands are all in precipitous places, and it is urgent and difficult to get down. ”

As he was talking, a cannon rang out, and the shouts of killing rang out. Li Yi was taken aback, looked intently, and saw Yangping closing the door wide open, and a group of soldiers and horses rushed out of the gate in a shout. As the first general, the word "Ma Zhong" is written on the banner behind him.

This Ma Zhong is not Bi Ma Zhong, not the Ma Zhong under Li Yi who is as famous as Pan Zhang, and is the best at digging pits, but a native of Langzhong, Brazil, whose real name is Hu Du, is a member of Shu Han's general, and now the official worships General Anbei.

Looking at Ma Zhong's meaning, he wants to take Li Yi directly, and capture the king first by a thief.

This angered the generals of the Tang Army, Dian Wei's temper was the hottest, holding a double halberd, riding forward, killing all the soldiers and taking Ma Chao.

Ma Zhong's strength is less than eighty, where can he be Dian Wei's opponent, and if he is not killed in seconds, it is his ability.

Ma Zhong couldn't resist Dian Wei, and was defeated in just two moves. He didn't dare to fight, so he turned his horse and left, and the accompanying sergeant hurried back.

Li Yizheng said that when he was chasing, Xun You, who was with the army, hurriedly stopped him and said: "The enemy is coming from the pass, and he will be crushed at the first touch, so he must be luring the enemy. ”

Li Yi nodded, and immediately Mingjin withdrew his troops.

When Li Hui and Wang Ping saw it, they sighed secretly, and said in their hearts that Li Yi was really cautious, and it seemed that he had no chance to yin him.

Indeed, as Xun You said, Ma Zhong's seemingly reckless surprise attack just now was actually a trick to lure the enemy, that is, to provoke Li Yi and let him chase after him, so that he could fall into a situation of siege on three sides, and maybe it would be able to create an unexpected situation. It's a pity that Li Yi was cautious and didn't hit the plan.

Wang Ping and Li Hui exchanged news, carefully defended the three places, and became a corner.

Since then, the Tang army has attacked Wang Ping's camp in the dense mountains and forests many times, but the difference in strength is not large. If you can't attack it, you can't lure the enemy out. If you can't attack the enemy camps on the left and right, you can't attack Yangping Pass in the middle.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides have been rejecting each other for more than half a month under Yangping Pass, and the time has also been transferred to June of the third year of Wude.
