Being motivated by Fa Zheng, Pang Xi made a decision to follow the strategy proposed by Fa Zheng.

Fa Zheng was overjoyed and fully assisted Pang Xi in implementing his plan.

The rest of Pang Xi's subordinates were very worried about this matter, believing that doing so would ruin Pang Xi's reputation. They were talking about it, thinking that this matter was really unreliable, and some people were even thinking about reporting to Liu Zhang and removing Pang Xi's command.

Fa Zheng is too young after all.

Under such circumstances, Pang Xi still withstood the pressure and resolutely completed the preparations for the plan.

On Zhang Wei's side, because he found that Pang Xi's siege of the city was decreasing for more than ten days, he felt that the situation was wrong.

After careful analysis, Zhang Wei and his generals believed that Pang Xi was not well equipped with military rations or was constrained by Chengdu, so they encountered such a situation.

Otherwise, how could the offensive strength and frequency drop to this level continuously?

"Liu Jiyu is definitely not a wise ruler, or he is suspicious of Pang Xi and cut off his food and grass, making Pang Xi's successor powerless. If this is true, Hanzhong will be worryless!"

Zhang Wei was very happy and continued to observe the situation on Pang Xi's side.

Sure enough, the attack strength and frequency continued to decrease for three consecutive days, and on the fourth day, Pang Xi did not invade.

On the fifth day, Pang Xi did not invade either.

Early in the morning of the sixth day, Zhang Wei sent someone to sneak out of the city to see the situation, but found that Pang Xi's army had withdrawn at some point.

Zhang Wei regrets that!

I didn't even find that Pang Xi's army had retreated!

If you find out, you can follow and chase for a while and get some credit, how good would it be?

Zhang Wei was very unhappy, so he immediately sent someone to chase him out for a while to see where Pang Xi and the others retreated, and sent someone back to tell Zhang Lu about the victory of the battle.

After the chasing soldiers came back and said that Pang Xi's army had run away without a trace, Zhang Wei nodded with satisfaction.

So Zhang Wei rewarded the troops, and Yangping Pass's defense became loose. For several days, the army after the victory held a banquet, laughing and laughing until late at night.

Then suddenly, one morning, before the Yangping Pass defenders had even gotten up, an army suddenly appeared under Yangping Pass like a ghost, and climbed the city wall as fast as possible.

They attacked quickly, and unexpectedly, quickly killed all the defenders, and opened the Yangping Pass gate at a speed of thunder.

Then the Shu army, which had come out from somewhere, rushed into Yangping Pass City. The sound of yelling and killing sounds sounded. Zhang Wei, who was still hangover, was fleeing by his personal soldiers in a daze.

Because there is no unified command and many soldiers have not woken up, resistance does not exist at all.

In just over an hour, Yangping Pass fell, and a small number of 20,000 Hanzhong troops were killed, most of them were captured and their entire army was wiped out.

On the first day of the second month of the fifth year of Xingping, Pang Xi, the former general of the Shu Kingdom, conquered Yangping Pass, the western gate of Hanzhong, and led tens of thousands of Shu troops into the Hanzhong Basin, raging all the way.

The Shu army quickly took down Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain, wiped out all the military strongholds set up by Zhang Wei, and solved the defense of the Hanzhong Army with lightning speed.

On the seventh day of the second month, the vanguard of the Shu army came to the city of Nanzheng, and Zhang Lu was frightened.

Pang Xi's army followed, surrounded Nan Zheng with all his strength and attacked with all his strength. Although the Hanzhong Army, which was a rare man, fought to the death with his desperate resistance under the command of Zhang Wei, he lost his energy and could not resist Pang Xi's attack at all.

Zhang Lu was desperate.

Seeing the destruction of the regime of the Five Dogs of Rice Cult that he had created, he was desperate.

Having the faith of all believers, but still cannot resist the powerful military and power.

On February 13, the fifth year of Xingping, Nanzheng was captured, Zhang Lu was invaded, Zhang Wei died, General Yang Ren and Yang Ang died.

Since the Liu Yan era, the regime of Zhang Lu****, who had ruled Hanzhong for several years, was officially destroyed, and Hanzhong County was occupied by the Shu Kingdom in Yizhou.

Pang Xi was ecstatic and immediately submitted a letter to Liu Zhang, asking Liu Zhang to come to Hanzhong, set up an altar in Hanzhong to worship the world, and promote the king of Hanzhong to swear to the world that Liu Zhang would inherit the mantle of Emperor Gao of Taizu Liu Bang.

Pang Xi felt that at this moment, Liu Zhang was just a distance from becoming emperor!

Pang Xi has even begun to plan to go out of the Qinling Mountains to attack Chang'an.

Should I take Qishan Road, Baoxi Road or Ziwu Road?

Pang Xi was thinking deeply.

At this time, Guo Peng's army had just taken Luoyang and was running towards Hongnong.

Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops had just retreated near Chang'an and began to set up defenses.

Sun Ce and Liu Biao signed the alliance agreement and are preparing to deal with threats from the north.

Liu Biao's messenger was on his way to Chengdu and was almost here.

The capture of Hanzhong by Pang Xi means that the entire Yizhou territory is complete. Liu Zhang's Shu Kingdom occupied Hanzhong, and he could use Hanzhong as a base to compete for the land of Guanzhong north.

Pang Xi really planned this way, and he trusted Fazheng, who had just made great contributions to him, promoted Fazheng to his military advisor and planned the next strategy for himself.

Fa Zheng was also very excited and excited. He immediately used his experience to plan for Pang Xi how to use several famous ancient roads to leave Shu and enter the Guanzhong Plain.

Fa Zheng used his experience as a Guanzhong person and had gone south to Shuzhong, and suggested that Pang Xi take the Qishan Road, go out to Qishan, and go to Hanyang County.

The reason is also very simple. Compared with the other roads leaving Shu, the ancient Qishan Road is the most capable of carrying the number of large-scale troops.

This road was rebuilt by Yu Xu, the prefect of Wudu, in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In order to deal with the Di and Qiang rebellions, it was rebuilt by Yu Xu, the prefect of Wudu. It also had the convenient conditions for the Western Han Dynasty. The journey of march generally coincided with the waterway. Compared with the extremely difficult roads in Shu, the importance of the waterway is self-evident.

The amount of food that a large ship can carry can be as high as dozens of large trucks. Guo Peng also tried every means to use waterways to reduce the transportation pressure of the logistics troops on the way to enter Guanxi.

Even this is the place in Guanxi, let alone Shuzhong.

In order to cross the Qinling Mountains in the north to reach Guanzhong, the price that Shu people had to pay was too high, so some people said that Shu was a trapped dragon, and the fertile soil and abundant resources in Shu also gave Shu the most difficult geographical conditions to communicate to the outside world.

It is difficult for outsiders to enter Shu, and it is even more difficult for Shu people to go out. It is even more difficult for foreign troops to fight in Shu in the south. It is even more difficult for Shu troops to fight in the north. It is a pure nightmare.

Fa Zheng walked through the difficult Shu Road and had many contacts with foreign merchants and travelers. He knew that Shu Road was difficult to move, so he believed that the Qishan Road, which is relatively flat and easy to walk and can use relatively more waterways to transport food and grass, is the most suitable.
