In Yinping, the news of the missing bridge first reached Jian Yong at Baishui Pass. At this time, he was surrounded by Yan Xing. Ma Chao also came the next day. Jian Yong was frightened. While sending people to report the news, he also directed Baishui.

Guan soldiers resisted the Tang army.

In fact, before Yan Xing's troops arrived, Jian Yong had already received news from Tan Ma, saying that a Tang army was coming in the direction of Baishui Pass. At that time, he thought that the other party was sending troops to block the pass to contain the Shu army so that it could be used by Yanzhou.

Lu Bu relieved the pressure and never thought that he was coming to attack Shuzhong.

Not to mention Jian Yong, who would have thought that the Tang army gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses at the border of Yanzhou, showing a posture of never giving up until Cao Cao was killed, but turned around and came to attack Shu, and the terrain in Shu was complicated

The level is more than ten times that of Yanzhou

, there are mountains everywhere, and there are levels one after another. It is impossible to defeat it without hundreds of thousands of troops. Liu Bei has already experienced this deeply during the attack on Liu Fan, so Jian Yong did not take Yan Xing's approach at first.

Ten thousand people take it seriously.

Moreover, in his opinion, the other party sent 30,000 people to Wuguan to attack Nanyang, and there were only 60,000 to 70,000 people left in Yongzhou at most. This was Sun Wu. Bai Qi would not dare to attack Shuzhong with such a small number of people in his next life.

But that's what Zhang Mo did. Her courage came from, first, mastering the detailed information and terrain maps of military defenses in various places in Shu. Second, she was surprised and won quickly, so fast that many people in Shu did not react.

, the war is over, such as Yinping Road and Qiaotou.

Let’s not mention Baishui Pass for now. Two days later, Zhang Fei, who was stationed in Guancheng, received news from Jian Yong.

"Lü Bu actually came to attack Shuzhong?" Zhang Fei was shocked, "This is impossible. Wasn't he just catching Cao Mengde fighting? Where did he get the troops?"

Like Jian Yong, Zhang Fei did not believe that the Tang State would come to attack Shu at this time. In fact, he knew that the Tang Army was sending more troops outside Yangping Pass two days ago. He also thought that the other party was here to contain the Shu Army and did not think about attacking Shu at all.

.

"Yinping and Qiaotou have been occupied," the visitor reminded.

Zhang Fei frowned, "Is it Lu Bu himself or someone else?"

"Jian Biejia doesn't know who is directing the battle, but it was Ma Chao who captured Yinping and Qiaotou. Now he and Yan Xing are surrounding Baishui Pass. Jian Biejia doesn't know if there are Tang troops behind. He is afraid that Baishui will be lost. Please ask.

General Zhang will send some reinforcements depending on the situation."

Zhang Fei suddenly stood up and said, "I'll order some troops right now!"

He hurriedly walked out the door, and happened to bump into Deng Zhi, the supervisor who came after hearing the news. Deng Zhi's thin body was hit by Zhang Fei's tiger body, and he staggered back two steps and almost fell down. He had to be helped by a soldier on the side to save him.

Make a fool of yourself.

"What are you going to do, general?" Deng Zhi asked, steadying his body.

"Order troops to rescue Baishui Pass!" Zhang Fei glanced at him and said without any apology, but said a little impatiently.

Deng Zhi was the successor of the famous general Deng Yu and was quite talented. When Dong Zhuo caused trouble in the court, he fled to Yizhou with his family, but no one knew about using him until Liu Bei entered Shu and was discovered by Li Ru, who gave him the opportunity to become an official.

This time Liu Bei sent troops to Nanyang because he was afraid that Zhang Fei would act willfully. Li Ru knew that Deng Zhi had a calm personality, so he sent him to supervise the army.

Deng Zhi was actually very upright, fair and honest, but because he was promoted by Li Ru and was sent by Li Ru to restrain Zhang Fei's hands and feet, Zhang Fei disliked him.

"Baishui Pass is not that easy to break. General, don't leave lightly at this time, lest you lose the pass!" Deng Zhi advised.

"What if?" Zhang Fei asked back, "Those two people were marching so fast, and they were attacking by surprise. There was originally a bridge at Baishui Pass, so I don't have to worry, but now that the bridge has been lost, Xianhe may not be able to defend it.

Stay here!"

"That's not a big deal!" Deng Zhi explained, "As long as Hanzhong and Guancheng are not lost, even if the opponent really breaks through Baishui Pass, those people will never dare to go deeper!"

Zhang Fei thought about it, and it was right. There were more than 10,000 troops stationed in Hanzhong, and there were also 4,000 people here in Guancheng. Ma Chao and Yan Xing really wanted to conquer Baishui Pass, so they had to sacrifice four or five thousand of them. The remaining few people were left behind.

If there are no reinforcements, if they dare to go deep into Shu alone, when my elder brother comes back with his troops, I will be able to cut off their retreat in a matter of minutes, leaving him no way in or out.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fei was temporarily relieved, turned back to the hall, and told the guards beside him, "Send people to send these messages to Nanyang and Chengdu quickly, tell the lord to come back quickly, and ask Gongyou to guard Yangping Pass!"

"Nuo!" The guard bowed and retreated. Zhang Fei glanced at Deng Zhi who had followed him, "Is there anything else, Bo Miao?"

Deng Zhi sat down at a table and said, "According to the news sent by Tan Ma, there are 20,000 Tang troops at Baishui Pass, and only 20,000 outside Yangping Pass. This number obviously does not match the number of troops in Yong and Liang states.

I think the opponent may still have soldiers and horses entering Hanzhong from other roads. If the lord fails to return to the army in time and Yangping Pass is attacked from both inside and outside, it is likely to be broken."

"Then you mean to ask me to support Yangping Pass?" Zhang Fei asked.

"No, the general must be stationed in Guancheng. What I mean is to ask Gongyou to send some people to support Shiquan County and guard the east side of Hanzhong Basin to prevent the enemy troops coming in from Ziwu Road from attacking Yangping Pass from behind."

"What about the Baoxie crossing? Should we send troops to reinforce the defense?"

Deng Zhi said, "The exit of Baoxie Road is narrow, and a thousand people are enough to guard it."

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

Although Zhang Fei was dissatisfied with Deng Zhi, it was undeniable that what he said made sense. As long as he did not mess up his position at this time, the Tang army would not be able to capture Hanzhong based on its current strength. However, if he was in a hurry, he might be like Liu Sui at the bridge.

He fell into the opponent's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Therefore, as Zhang Fei issued this series of orders, the steps of the Tang army were also stagnated. Although Baishui Pass was breached, as Deng Zhi said, without reinforcements to protect the back road, Ma Chao and Yan Xing

The remaining more than 10,000 troops simply did not dare to go deeper into Jiameng Pass, even though Zhang Fan was still there in the sword pavilion behind.

However, Zhang He was still blocked outside Yangping Pass, and Taishi Ci's men who had just entered Hanzhong from Ziwu Road were also fighting endlessly with the Shu army outside Shiquan County.

"Brother Zhang has calmed down this time!"

Outside Yangping Pass, after reading the news sent by various detectives, Zhang Mo was not anxious at all, "It's good if you can calm down, we will continue to wait for Liu Xiong and the others. According to the itinerary reported by Feiying yesterday, there will be almost five more You can enter Hanzhong in six days!”

Zhang He said worriedly, "General Ziyi is entangled by Shi Quan's Shu army at the moment. Even if Liu Xiong goes to Hanzhong, what effect can those few people do on the Great Plains?"

Xu You smiled and said, "Junyi doesn't have to worry. As long as Liu Xiong can enter Hanzhong, Yangping Pass can be breached."

Zhang He was puzzled, "Didn't you talk about attacking Guancheng before?"

"Isn't this a failure in luring the enemy? Zhang Fei cannot move and cannot be beaten!"

Zhang He looked confused, "What is the princess's plan?"

Xu You explained, "The princess has formulated two plans. Zhang Fei's place is both a lure and a test. If he goes to rescue Baishui Pass, we will send troops south across Mianshui to attack Guancheng directly. As long as Guancheng is captured, six thousand people will be left behind." If we guard this passage leading to Baishui Pass, we can temporarily ignore Hanzhong and directly send troops to attack Shuzhong."
