Cao Cao sat in the big tent, with two maps placed in front of him. One was Yangzhou where he is now, and the other was Hanzhong, which is thousands of miles away.

Two maps, the one in Yangzhou, was pressed with a kettle, and Cao Cao was holding a water bowl in his hand, watching this picture, thinking silently about the deployment of the Jiangdong army.

After taking a sip of water, Cao Cao looked aside and put the water bowl aside. However, his hand suddenly shook, and the undrinkable water in the water bowl suddenly spilled out.

Cao Cao turned his head to look, but saw a large piece of Hanzhong map soaked in water. There were three big characters marked with Dingjun Mountain. Cao Cao looked at it and saw that the map was not damaged, so he didn't care and continued to look at the Yangzhou topographic map in front of him.

The next day, Cao Cao discussed with the generals in the tent how to retreat the Jiangdong army. Suddenly someone reported: "There is an emergency military report in Hanzhong."

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this and thought to himself: "Hanzhong? In summer, I ordered Miaocai to enter Hanzhong and dragged Liu Bei's side. Could it be that something happened?" So he said: "Come on!" After that, he took the military newspaper from the soldier, took out the letter inside and looked at it.

When he pulled out the letter, he found that the letter was not written by Xiahou Yuan. He felt a little shocked and said in his heart: "Not good!" After reading it, the expression on his face was first surprised, and then became increasingly ugly. At the end, he stood up with a look of sadness and anger, grabbed the letter in his hand, and shouted: "Miaocai!" Before the call was finished, he fainted on the ground. The generals on both sides were shocked and quickly rescued Cao Cao and called the doctor.

Everyone was busy for a while before they woke up Cao Cao. When Cao Cao opened his eyes, he immediately glared at the West and shouted: "Old man Huang Zhong! I must avenge this great revenge for Miaocai!"

At that time, Zhang Liao was beside him and asked, "Why is this lord? Could it be that something happened in Hanzhong?" Just now, the generals saw Cao Cao fainting, and everyone was busy saving Cao Cao, but no one paid attention to the military newspaper. At this time, Zhang Liao mentioned it.

Cao Cao then handed Zhang Liao the military newspaper he was holding tightly in his hand. Zhang Liao took it, then expanded it and immediately changed his face.

This military newspaper is actually very simple, just a few words, but these words are enough for everyone who read it for a long time. I saw the letter: Xia, Yuan led the army into Dongchuan, sent Hong Shouyang Ping, and led the army to occupy the Ding Army. Qiu.

Xue Bing under Liu Bei's tent sent fire to attack, and Yuan was beheaded by Huang Zhong at the foot of Dingjun Mountain. In the same month, Yangping Pass was taken away by Wei Yan, and Hong retreated. In the winter, Hong attacked Yangping and was defeated. Huang led his troops out of Jigu, but was buried by Zhang Fei, and retreated. Zhang He was defeated to the west of Dingjun.

He was captured alive by Xue Bing and was surrendered to Liu Bei.

After reading it, Zhang Liao was shocked, but he did not expect that Xiahou Yuan would defeat Ding Army and even more die. He did not expect that Zhang He would not only be defeated, but also surrender to Liu Bei. After reading it for a long time, he still couldn't recover.

At this time, the generals in the tent had finished circulating one by one. When they saw the words written in the military newspaper, they were all stunned in shock, not knowing what to say.

Cao Cao slowed down this time and had recovered a little. He asked the sergeant: "Are you coming from Chang'an? Do you know the situation in Hanzhong?"

The soldier said, "I came from Chang'an. I know the affairs of Hanzhong. Before I arrived, General Xu Huang asked General Hao Zhao to tell me about the affairs of Hanzhong."

Zhang Liao heard this and asked, "Who is Hao Zhao?"

The soldier said, "It was originally under General Zhang He's tent. After the battle in Dingjunshan, he only led dozens of people to escape from Hanzhong." Zhang Liao was shocked and said, "Ten thousand troops had only escaped more than ten people?"

When Cao Cao heard this, he breathed heavily and said softly: "Let's tell the war in Hanzhong in detail!"

Hearing this, the soldier led his army to capture Dingjun Mountain from Xiahou Yuan. Guo Huai set up an ambush to defeat Huang Zhong and Ma Chao. Then Liu Bei sent Zhao Yun and Xue Bing to lead the troops. He first defeated the vanguard Zhang He outside Baocheng. Then Xue Bing set fire to the mountain at the foot of Dingjun Mountain.

Among the chaotic army, Xiahou Yuan was killed by Huang Zhong.

When he talked about this, Cao Cao's mouth twitched unconsciously again, and the generals in the tent all looked angry. The soldier suddenly felt that the atmosphere was wrong, so he hurriedly passed this passage and continued to talk.

When Zhang He was nearly 10,000 troops, he had no food for a day. When he was trapped in Hanzhong for several months, Cao Cao's face became even more ugly.

Then he heard that Xu Huang led the army to save Zhang He, but Zhang Fei hurriedly held her face. Although her face was not as ugly as before, she still shook her head and sighed.

Finally, the soldier said: "Before leaving in Chang'an, General Xu received detailed news, saying that Zhang and He had already surrendered to Liu Bei! General Xu then rewrites a military newspaper."

After hearing this, Cao Cao sighed and stood up straight. He wanted to help him, but Cao Cao pushed him away. The generals said that Cao Cao heard that Xiahou Yuan was dead and Zhang He betrayed him, and he was angry.

Xu Qian took the lead and said, "Lord, don't be upset, and the last general will lead a group of troops, and he will bring the head of Zhang Heren!" Cao Cao waved his hand to stop him and said, "I have carried a lot of him. The food has been exhausted and he has not surrendered for several months. I will not come to reinforcements for a long time! Junyi does not let me down!"

Then he looked west and bowed, shouting, "I'm so sorry that I died at the foot of Dingjun Mountain!" After worshiping, he looked west and cried, but after a moment, he fainted on the ground again. The soldiers rescued him and could not wake up, so he had to leave Cao Cao in the big tent and keep someone to take care of him.

The generals dispersed and stayed at their posts.

The next day, Cao Cao woke up and called Zhang Liao to the nearest front, saying, "I cannot be in charge of the affairs of the country now. Wen Yuan can take over the military power here, reject the major affairs of Wu, and hand them over to the public! But if there are any difficult things, the public will make it to him.

"After the instructions, he ordered him to retreat, the next day he sent his personal guards to escort him back to Xudu, and most of the troops were left in Zhang Liao.

Then Zhang Liao led his army and defeated each other with Zhou Yu of Eastern Wu. Although Zhou Yu had many good plans, Zhang Liao just couldn't go out and had no choice but to retreat and return.

Besides, Cao Cao returned to Xudu and was recuperating in the mansion every day, but he was unable to take charge of the officials. He only ordered: "The land in Guanzhong must be carefully guarded. Now that Liu Bei first came to Hanzhong, the people's hearts were unstable and would not lead troops to invade.

I am just called Yongliang, guarding the city tightly. When I get sick, I will lead my troops to take them away. "…

However, Xue Bing decided to fight Zhang He, and led the army to look at Baocheng and returned. During this period, he talked and laughed endlessly with Zhao Yun and Ma Chao. After winning the battle, he was naturally full of joy.

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Zihan, I heard the words of his soldiers. You shot the long sword in Zhang He's hand with a sharp shot that day. I don't know that you have been practicing archery diligently and have advanced to this level." Although Zhao Yun was not at the scene.

But based on what the soldiers said, he guessed how urgent the situation was. Not to mention aiming, even drawing a bow and arrow, it would take a moment to complete it.

Even if he himself could not guarantee that he could do what Xue Bing did. Therefore, he only said that Xue Bing had been practicing arch skills diligently, so he had achieved such success.

But when Xue Bing heard this, he said with a embarrassed look: "Bow technique? I have been to Hanzhong since I was traveling back and forth. Where did I get the time to practice that thing?"

When Zhao Yun heard this, he said in surprise: "When Zihan actually shot it with a bow and arrow at that time? He was not afraid of saving people, but instead harming his life?"

Xue Bing curled his lips and replied, "If I don't save him, he will definitely die. If I ask me to shoot him with one arrow, it will be better than committing suicide. Now that I have shot the sword with one arrow, it proves that the sky does not want to take his life."

As the two were talking, Ma Chao suddenly said, "Zihan still remembers the feeling of shooting that arrow? If you think about it, maybe your archery skills will make rapid progress."

When Xue Bing heard this, she thought to herself, "Yes! I was able to shoot accurately at that time, how can I not shoot accurately in the future? Let's think about what it felt when shooting that arrow." So she immediately said nothing and started to think quietly.

After a while, Xue Bing's eyes widened, his eyes shone brightly, and said, "Look at me shooting into the tree in the distance!" Before he finished speaking, he took the bow with one hand, picked the arrow with the other hand, and drew the arrow with the arrow. He finished it in one go. His movements were extremely smooth and there was no pause at all.

When he shouted the word "that tree", the sharp arrows in his hand flew out. Ma Chao and Zhao Yun only felt a flash in front of him, and the sharp arrows had already flew far away.

With a scream, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao looked at each other and saw a roe deer not far from the tree that Xue Bing pointed to before, and was shot by the arrow. As soon as the two saw clearly, they heard Xue Bing beside them say, "The roe deer below!" Although it was separated from the previous sentence for a moment, it could barely be considered a sentence.

Ma Chao and Zhao Yunsui looked at Xue Bing with a funny face, but saw that his face was not red and he was not angry. He ordered Chen Shi beside Zhao Yun: "Go! Pick up the roe deer! Add vegetables tonight!"...

After a few days of travel, the army returned to Baocheng. Liu Bei personally led all the generals to greet him, and then led several generals to the mansion. The wine and food were prepared there to treat everyone.

After the banquet, Liu Bei went to see Zhang He in person and had a talk with him. Xue Bing didn't know what Liu Bei said, but in the next day he saw Zhang He following Liu Bei and even participated in the discussions of the generals under Liu Bei's tent.

Just called Xue Bing to be amazed and said to himself: "Liu Dada is Liu Dada, there is nothing to say about the level of a kidnapping person!"

In the past few days, the military newspapers had arrived in Jingzhou. Guan Yu led Jingzhou troops and captured all the west of Danshui. Now Jingzhou has been connected with Hanzhong, and all the territory of Liu Bei's territory has finally been completely connected.

Liu Bei, who received good news, was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth these days. Every day he saw him, he looked smiling. Even on the ground, Liu Bei's subordinates were also smiling.

After all, if the boss is better, his subordinates will be better. Don’t be for others, just for yourself. The stronger Liu Bei’s power is, the brighter their own future will be.

During these days, Liu Bei issued a series of personnel appointments, including Li Yan and Zhang Ren guarding Shangyong and guarding the important road between Jingzhou and Hanzhong. He took Wei Yan back from Yangping and ordered him to be the prefect of Hanzhong and guarding Hanzhong.

At that time, Wei Yan thought he had heard it wrong, so he was stunned for a while. Xue Bing stabbed him a few times, and then said, "Thank you for your high hopes, Yan will definitely live up to your lord's entrustedness."

When Liu Bei heard this, he just smiled and said, "Wen Chang must guard this place well, and there must be no mistakes." Then Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei assisted Wei Yan, while he led the army and returned to Chengdu.
