However, the development of the war has exceeded the expectations of He Qingzhang, the commander of the Shu army. Just when he was struggling with whether to withdraw his troops immediately and defend himself on the spot in the city, he rode into the camp from the city.

"General, the big thing is not good, Guancheng was taken away by the Zhao army!" The knight went straight to the Chinese army, turned over and fell off his horse, hurriedly and stupidly entered the handsome tent, and after seeing He Qingzhang, he immediately shouted.

"What? How can it be? How was Guancheng conquered by the Zhao army? He Qingzhang couldn't believe it at all. He blocked the enemy army here, and there were also probe horses in the west, how did the Zhao army take Yangping Pass? Even if the Zhao army tackles the key points, the dangerous Guancheng can resist himself to support. But the problem is that now the corporal under his command has reported to himself that the city has been lost. If it weren't for this knight, he would be able to confirm that he was his own person, but I was afraid that He Qingzhang would think that the other party was Zhao Jun pretending.

"General Qiyu, late last night, the Zhao army suddenly attacked from the east of Yangping Pass, and our army was caught off guard and was broken by the Zhao army. Today, Yangping Pass has been occupied by the Zhao army. In addition, the Zhao army of Liangzhou in the north has also sent 3,000 men and horses into the city, and now, there are more than 5,000 Zhao troops in Yangping Pass. ”

"What about Vice Admiral Lin? The Zhao army raided, couldn't they defend on the spot and come to report? He Qingzhang's eyes turned black. Angry asked.

"Deputy General Lin They have already died, the Zhao army has attacked, our army was caught off guard, and we didn't expect that the Zhao army would attack the city from the east. After all, the general is still intercepting the Zhao army in the east, and we have not received news of the general's defeat. More than 2,000 Zhao troops entered the city, and the appearance of the Zhao army's earth-shattering thunder caused the morale of our army to plummet. At this moment, the Zhao army also spread the news that the general had been killed, which made the soldiers in the Guannai have no intention of resisting, and as a result, the ...... "The knight hurriedly informed He Qingzhang of the things before and after.

"The Zhao army attacked the city from the east? Night Raid? Damn it! We fell into the scheme, I was pinned down here by the Zhao army, the purpose is to let the Zhao army raid Guancheng, that is, we want to divide our troops. He Qingzhang lamented.

"General, now that the Yangping Pass has been broken, should we withdraw our troops immediately?" Inside the tent, the other generals suddenly became anxious. Now that the city has been broken, if they stay here, sooner or later they will face the front and rear attacks of the Zhao army.

"Withdrawal? You think that Zhao Jun on the other side is a fool. General Ben now understands why we have the advantage on the other side, but we have never been able to win, and the Zhao army on the opposite side is simply holding us back, and we are afraid that we will not be able to defeat the other side in a head-on 'engagement'. If we withdraw our troops immediately, we will definitely be detected by the Zhao army on the opposite side, and at that time, the Zhao army will pursue, and our army will inevitably be defeated. Keep your mouth shut for me, don't leak the lowercase. Otherwise, the soldiers will know the situation, their morale will plummet, and you and I will die without a place to bury. The order went down, and since the siege was unsuccessful, the army stopped attacking, and we slowly retreated. ”

As soon as Zhao Kang saw that the Zhao army stopped attacking and began to withdraw, he knew that the land of Yangping Pass must have had a result. Otherwise, the Shu army on the opposite side would not have withdrawn in the event of an advantage. However, the orderly withdrawal of the Shu army on the opposite side also made Zhao Kang worry about the actions of Yangping Pass.

"General, are we going out of the city to pursue?" The lieutenant asked in a deep voice.

"What if this Shu army is trying to lure us out of the walled city? Our troops are smaller than those of the other side, and if we go out to fight, even if we can win, we are afraid that the losses will be not small. Even, both sides lose. There were also lieutenants who disagreed.

"Pursuit! Let the soldiers shout that Yangping Pass has been captured by our army, I think, even if the situation in Yangping Pass is not smooth, the Shu army will also have 'chaos' and 'chaos'. In any case, we have to leave the Shu army on the opposite side behind. Although he didn't know the details of Yangping Pass, Zhao Kang did not hesitate. The Shu army on the opposite side has the main general of Yangping Pass, if he is allowed to go back, it will not be very good for his own soldiers who raided Yangping Pass.

The army of Zhao Jun immediately fought bravely, and shouted the news that Yangping Pass had been broken by their own side.

Originally, such news could not affect the Shu army. However, the withdrawal of the Shu army under the condition of dominance, coupled with the grim look on the faces of the knights and generals who rushed in the previous hurry, suddenly made the soldiers suspicious, which in turn affected the morale of the Shu army.

"Damn!" He Qingzhang scolded secretly, and immediately stood up to refute the words of Sergeant Zhao. He naturally understood that if he continued like this, these soldiers were afraid that they would collapse if they didn't wait for the Zhao army to kill. Annoyed, He Qingzhang suddenly swung his sword and turned around, and directly invited the main general of the Zhao army to fight.

"Huh! Isn't this He Qingzhang always known for his stability, why is he now starting to invite battles. However, the more you do this, the more convinced General Ben is that our Zhao army has taken Yangping Pass. Looking at the main general of the Shu army who was scolding the soldiers on the other side and began to turn around to face the battle, Zhao Kang tightened the spear in his hand and laughed coldly.

Zhao Kang was also unambiguous, looking back at the soldiers behind him, his voice was like thunder, and he shouted: "Brothers, our other team has taken Yangping Pass, and now, it is time for us to show our might." Warriors, we have been suppressed by the Shu army for several days, and now, the time for meritorious service is in front of us, kill with this general! ”

In the midst of the loud shouting, Zhao Kang clamped the horse's belly with his legs, waved his spear, went out of the walled city, and swooped down the mountain.

"Kill the ......" battle flag was unfurled, the drums were like thunder, nearly 3,000 'elite' Zhao soldiers roared and roared, in order to attract the Shu army, they were ridiculed by the Shu army many times, and now, it was the time for them to vent their anger. In the roar that shook the sky, the soldiers of the Zhao army rushed down the slope where the city was located like a torrent.

The four hooves flew over, Zhao Kang lightly lifted the spear, like a yellow 'colored' lightning, and killed down the hillside with the momentum of diving, and the cold light of the war knife went straight to the enemy general He Qingzhang. Since he is going to war, he naturally will not choose a pawn to make a move, and He Qingzhang, the commander of the Shu army on the opposite side, is his target at the moment.

The roar of the soldiers of the Zhao army and the shouting of Zhao Kang made the soldiers of the Shu army more and more convinced that there was something wrong with Yangping Pass, so the soldiers of the Shu army were suddenly panicked, especially those generals and colonels of the Shu army who knew the situation, their faces suddenly turned white, and they were even slow when they commanded the soldiers under their command to resist.

He Qingzhang was annoyed, but looked at the chief general of the Zhao army who was coming straight away, and suddenly had an idea in his heart. As long as the other party is killed, he will definitely be able to reverse the situation in front of him, and even defeat the opposite Zhao Jun in one battle.

"Kill him for me!" The long knife in He Qingzhang's hand was always Zhao Kang, and he ordered in a cold voice. He didn't care at all about his intention to fight the other party before, and he wanted to use soldiers to besiege and kill the other party.

"Kill me? It's up to them! Zhao Kang roared coldly, and the war horse under his crotch accelerated even more, like lightning, in an instant. The spear in his hand continued to stab out like lightning, and the guards who followed him also guarded his side, stopping the Shu soldiers who surrounded him. He came all the way to kill, but all the Shu soldiers who blocked it were swept away by him in the autumn wind, and they were stabbed to death on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Kang had already killed He Qingzhang like the wind. He Qingzhang was so frightened that he also shouted violently, and the war knife in his hand was raised high and slashed down obliquely.

Zhao Kang smiled coldly, and the spear in his hand did not stab out, but took turns out a semicircle, and smashed it towards the opponent's war knife. With a whistling sound, Zhao Kang's spear slammed into He Qingzhang's long knife.

"Boom ......" A piercing 'excited' sound, accompanied by a little spark splash, only shook the surrounding soldiers to the eardrum tingling. I saw a figure soar into the air, like a kite with a broken string, and was shocked and flew out.

Countless pairs of eyes watched He Qingzhang fly out upside down from the horse, but all the Shu soldiers who saw it were shocked and lost their souls. As for the soldiers of the Zhao army, they shouted in victory, and the weapons in their hands were waved faster.

He Qingzhang was not a brave general, plus the weapon in his hand was not as long as the other party, and Zhao Kang wielded the spear, with a fast impact, which greatly increased the strength of the spear in his hand. Under the 'intersection', He Qingzhang naturally lagged behind. In addition, Zhao Kang is young and mature at the moment, and He Qingzhang has surpassed Zhao Kang a lot, so he is invincible.

No matter how it is explained, however, He Qingzhang is the chief general of the Shu army, but at this moment, he was shot down by someone, how can such a shocking situation not shock all the soldiers of the Shu army, and then make the morale of the soldiers of the Shu army fall to a low point.

He Qingzhang, who was flying upside down, fell to the ground heavily, and the long knife in his hand no longer knew where it was shocked, and the qi and blood in his 'chest' were 'excited' and 'swinging', and he was almost about to vomit blood.

"Damn, how can this Zhao army master have so much power? It can knock me out...... He is definitely not an unknown person among the Zhao army! Stunned, He Qingzhang suddenly found that until now, he didn't know who the other party was.

"Who are you? Can the three thousand generals under the command of Zhao Jun have such courage? Even if General Ben loses, he must know in whose hands he loses. When He Qingzhang, who was shocked and ashamed, struggled to get up from the ground, he faced the murderous Zhao army commander, his face was bitter, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Zhao Jun, General Zhao Kang! Well, it's time for you to hit the road! With that, the spear in his hand stabbed into the throat of He Qingzhang, who had just gotten up.

"Pounce on the ......" made a crisp sound, and Zhao Kang's long-term had already entered He Qingzhang's throat. He Qingzhang's eyes suddenly widened angrily, and he grabbed weakly with both hands, and finally didn't catch anything, and his body fell involuntarily.

"Zhao Kang? Zhao Jun's town army general, no wonder the pass was broken so quickly...... "At this moment, He Qingzhang has already understood that since it is the general of the other party's town army, it means that Zhao Jun has already made some preparations for action here.

"The general is dead...... all of a sudden, the soldiers of the Shu army scattered and fled, and the soldiers of the Zhao army chased after them. However, now that the east and west sides are under the jurisdiction of the Zhao army, if they want to escape, where can they flee to? The 4,000 Shu troops who went out of the city this time, except for hundreds who fled, were either killed or surrendered.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Kang had already arrived at Yangping Pass. And at this moment, this is already the jurisdiction of Zhao Jun. Since then, there has been another dangerous pass to the west of the land of Hanzhong. This also means that the 'door' households in the western part of Hanzhong are completely controlled by the Zhao army. The nearly 10,000 Shu troops on the front line of Yangping Pass, except for the thousands of soldiers sent out to support Baimashu, were either annihilated or surrendered.

And Zhao Kang also saw the soldiers of the town army of Liangzhou in the north, and 3,000 soldiers arrived here, which also made the Zhao army in Hanzhong and the Zhao army in the south of Liangzhou train together, so that there was no threat to the west of Hanzhong. And the Zhao army of Liangzhou can also respond to the central and western parts of Han at any time and 'force' Yizhou to advance. After the war, more than 3,000 Shu troops were captured in Yangping Pass.

Zhao Kang then issued an order to leave the original Han Chinese soldiers behind and incorporate them into his own army, and the remaining hundreds of Yizhou nationals, especially the Shu army 'drawn' from the south of Yizhou, were driven out and let them go south to the Shu army territory. The reason for this is also to tell the southern Shu army that the Zhao army has taken action in the north of Yizhou to force the Shu army to withdraw.

Knowing that Zhao Kang returned victoriously, Yang Wangqing in Hanzhong City was also overjoyed. Although he arranged this operation in detail, arranging to the west and personally leading the army to fight are two different things. Some people are suitable to be military advisors, counselors in military affairs, and overall planning. But some people are suitable to lead the battle, and implement the strategy set above according to their own ability. Now that he got the exact news, Yang Wangqing was able to put down the worries in his heart.

Yangping Pass was defeated, and the 'door' household in the west of Hanzhong fell into the hands of Zhao Jun. If it fails this time, it will definitely be noticed by the Shu army, and at that time, it will not be so easy for the Zhao army in Hanzhong to do anything about this place.

"Not bad! General Zhao's action is to greatly increase the prestige of our army! "In the former Shu Army General's Mansion, and now in the Governor's Mansion, I heard that Zhao Kang killed the Shu Army Dingbei General on the spot, and I couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Kang said with a smile: "It's all planned by the governor, if it weren't for this surprise, the Shu army would be defenseless, and I was afraid that if I wanted to raid this place, it would be even more difficult." As for He Qingzhang, the Dingbei general of the Shu army, it was also because of his carelessness that he did not expect that we would divide our troops to raid Guancheng. Speaking of which, it is also a loss to the governor to let the last general 'draw' the defenders of Baocheng, and they travel day and night. Otherwise, I am afraid that this operation will fail. The last general learned from the captives that although the Shu army had been defeated before, almost the entire army was wiped out. However, in Hanzhong, there are still quite a lot of their spies, and our every move, although we dare not say that they are under their surveillance. However, the movement of troops will inevitably be difficult to conceal along their routes. ”

Yang Wangqing said in a deep voice: "These fine works are also left by the Shu army when they attacked the Han army in the past, and after our army occupied here, it deliberately concealed it and paid attention to the movements of our army. In fact, before, we have found out a lot of spies of the Shu army, and this time we left them to let them spread the news that we had conquered the Pingguan Pass of Huyang, the 'gate' of the central and western Han Dynasty, beheaded the Dingbei general of the Shu army, and the Liangzhou army was preparing to go south to Yizhou. In addition, we also need to know how many remnants of the Shu army and the remnants of the squire clan who are committed to the Shu army in this Hanzhong. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Kang said in surprise: "The Liangzhou army is preparing to go south? ”

Yang Wangqing said with a smile: "Of course not, it's just that in combination with the Liangzhou army in Yangping Pass, let the Shu army know that they are attacking us, and we can also attack them." If the northwest of Yizhou is also the same terrain as Hanzhong, I am afraid that the army has already moved. However, the situation is worse somewhere than here, and it is not easy for the army to go south. In addition, the various checkpoints in the north of Yizhou are quite tightly guarded by the Shu army, even if the army attacks, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve results. ”

"What about the war in the south? Or will the stalemate continue? Zhao Kang asked again.

"It's still a stalemate! The Shu army refuses to retreat, and we can't let it advance. Yang Wangqing's face was slightly solemn, "However, our grain and grass materials are also consumed quickly, and some local people's livelihood and government affairs have begun to stop." If it weren't for logistical problems, why would we have only sent some men to defend the city, and we could have attacked south and wanted them to look good. ”

Looking at the heavy expressions on the faces of other generals and some civil officials in Hanzhong, Yang Wangqing smiled again: "Don't worry, as soon as this Yangping Pass is broken, the news of the Liangzhou army going south will come back, and Situ Che, the king of Shu, will definitely withdraw his troops." Without the enemy forces from outside, some of our hidden dangers will be eliminated. Don't forget, Yongzhou is still transporting all kinds of materials in. ”

Yin Lin Yinian of Hanzhong Mansion said in a deep voice: "But as far as we know, this Shu King Situ Che is a stubborn 'character', if he is stunned and does not withdraw his troops, then how can it be good." As the Metropolitan Governor said, this Liangzhou town army will not really go south at this moment, and if this confrontation continues, the situation in Hanzhong will be very bad. "Lin Yinian is the head of the Han Chinese official, and he naturally thinks mostly about people's livelihood issues.

What Lin Yinian said made everyone stunned, but what Lin Yinian said did make sense. They also knew about the situation of the Shu army's attack again, and it was Situ Che, the king of Shu, who insisted on counterattacking, and decided to send troops to Hanzhong despite the opposition of the officials under his command.

If it is really as Lin Yinian said, then the situation in Hanzhong will be even more difficult. Of course, for Zhao Jun, it is nothing, but for the locality, all kinds of problems will arise. If it continues, the materials in Hanzhong will definitely be concerned about the army first, and then the people. For them, the civil servants, this is not an easy thing to solve.

Therefore, Lin Yinian said that the faces of some civil officials who were doing it began to change. If there is a problem in Hanzhong, they, the central civil officials in Hanzhong, will naturally be unable to escape responsibility. They are all officials and petty officials with good achievements who have been 'drawn' from other places by Zhao Guo, and this promotion to this place naturally does not want to make a 'mess' of the place as soon as they come and affect their future careers. Especially some of them were originally from petty officials, but now they have been promoted to the rank of official, and they care more about the opportunities in front of them.

"If you don't let General Qin contact the one in the Shu army and design a big defeat for the Shu army, maybe the Shu army will withdraw. If you lose once, you will be defeated, and if you lose again, I'm afraid that Situ Che won't be able to hold on. Zhao Kang said in a deep voice. What Zhao Kang said was naturally Jiang Poyun, who had connections with himself in the Shu army. Although I don't know what Jiang Poyun's current situation is, since the Metropolitan Governor can arrange Qin You to cooperate with Jiang Poyun, then Jiang Poyun will naturally be fine. If you use it once, you may be able to defeat the Shu army.
