Chapter 15 Bingfa Yangping Pass

It is said that there are grain and soldiers in the Three Kingdoms. This is true. Pan Feng's army has obtained a lot of grain, grass and ordnance for attacking Dong Zhuo's army. On the way to Hanzhong in this half month, they recruited troops and horses, and the team expanded to more than 3,000 people. However, except for the original 1,000 Jizhou army, the remaining 2,000 people are some farmers. The strong men of the people and the exiles are strong, but they have not been trained militarily and actually have no combat effectiveness.

"General, now he is the guest of Hanshui. He is 30 miles forward and enters the boundary of Hanzhong." The scouts in front rushed back and said.

Tian Feng got off his horse and looked ahead.

"The terrain in Hanzhong is really steep!"

Pan Feng doesn't know anything about the terrain, but as soon as he entered Hanzhong, he could see that there were mountains around him. In modern times, Pan Feng also read some military books in his spare time. According to the current situation, such a place should belong to the military books. The enemy is condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the blueprint conceived in Pan Feng's heart, Hanzhong is a must-go place now, but seeing the reality, his confidence is indeed a little lacking.

"The terrain in Hanzhong is steep. I don't know if the military division has any good plans to help me take Hanzhong."

Looking at Pan Feng's question, Tian Feng quickly waved his hand.

"General, stop. I don't have any good plan. The terrain in Hanzhong is steep, and in front of it is the 'Yangping Pass', which is famous for its steepness. It is said that there, a man can't open it.

Tian Feng's words are indeed true, and at the same time, they also evoke some memories of Pan Feng. He has seen in his performance that once Cao wanted to take Hanzhong, Zhang Wei, Zhang Lu's younger brother, led 10,000 horses to refuse to accept Yangping Pass. Cao Cao's army had attacked for more than a month. If Zhang Lu hadn't been afraid of Cao Cao's prestige and took the initiative to surrender, who would have died of the land in Hanzhong?

Pan Feng immediately thought about it, and then asked Tian Feng, "Yuan Hao, how many military uniforms of the Xiliang Army we have captured?"

"Last time Zhang Ji fled in a hurry, he left a lot of supplies. There can be 5,000 sets of single military uniforms! If the captured ordnance is included, it is enough to equip tens of thousands of troops. Tian Feng said, "But what are you going to do?"

"Yuanhao, let me ask you something more. How many defenders do you think there are in Yangping Pass?" Pan Feng asked.

Tian Feng thought about it and then replied, "Zhang Lu's troops are not many, and there are only about 10,000 in total. He has to take control of each gates of Hanzhong. I estimate that there can be 3,000 in Yangping Pass."

"Do you think our thousand elite riders can beat his 3,000 defenders at Yangping Pass?"

Tian Feng brushed his beard and thought about it.

"If in the open area of the plain, let alone defeat our thousand elite riders, it is not a problem to completely annihilate the 3,000-step soldiers of Yangping Pass, but now the enemy is based on the pass. In addition, we lack sharp weapons to attack the city. If we fight, we will be defeated."

"The siege is the bottom, and the heart is the top. I think Yuan Hao should know more about the reason than me. Pan Feng smiled mysteriously.

Tian Feng looked at Pan Feng suspiciously and didn't know what he was going to do.

"You mean you have a way?"

"That's right."

......

Hanzhong Yangpingguan.

"General Zhang, our spies came to report that a large number of Xiliang cavalry were found ten miles away from Yangping Pass, and it was observed that there could be about 1,000 people."

This general refers to Yangping Guan Shoujun, Zhang Wei. He is the younger brother of Zhang Lu, the governor of Hanzhong, and is deeply trusted by Zhang Lu, so Zhang Lu gave him such an important position to guard.

"What's Dong Zhuo's intention? Does his family want to invade my Yangping Pass?" Zhang Wei said to himself.

The deputy general beside him looked disdainful and said to Zhang Wei, "General Zhang, what are we afraid of? This Yangping Pass is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Not to mention Dong Zhuo's 1,000 cavalry, even if he dispatched 10,000 cavalry, he can't beat us!"

"What General Wei said is reasonable. Give me an order to put away the suspension bridge and close the gate to meet the enemy."

"Yes, General."

The Yangping garrison's action was very fast, and soon the suspension bridge was put away, and the gate was closed to prevent access. The soldiers on the wall are also ready, and the archers in the rear are ready. It looks like a big enemy is coming.

At this time, the disguised Xiliang army led by Pan Feng was slowly approaching Yangping Pass.

"General, just take a look! I won't chop these young children into meat sauce later. Zhang Bai said with his fists and said, "As long as the general orders, I, Lao Zhang, will definitely be the first to rush up."

"I'll give you a head." Pan Feng patted Zhang Bai on the head fiercely.

Zhang Baiqi didn't understand why Pan Feng beat him, but as a subordinate, he did not dare to resist, so he could only look at Pan Feng very aggrievedly.

Pan Feng looked at the "resentment" with goose bumps all over her body.

" put away the knife and listen to my order later. Don't act recklessly. You have to use your brain to fight a war. If only I had dressed up as a Xiliang army and rushed in directly. Listen to my command later. Don't be impulsive."

"Yes, General." Zhang Baiqi held his fist and responded.

......

The road of ten miles is neither long nor short. In half an hour, this thousand "Xiliang Army" came to Yangping Pass.

At this time, a soldier walked out of Yangping Pass and shouted to the Xiliang army below: "The army stopped before the pass. If it is one step closer to Yangping Pass, kill it."

The soldier sent is proficient in Chinese. The generals in Yangpingguan are basically local Hanzhong and speak in dialects, which is very different from the way of speaking and tone of the Central Plains.

At this time, Pan Feng rode alone in front of the gate.

"I am Wang Yong, General Anyi of Xiliang. This time, I specially came to escort your imperial edict to your emperor Zhang Taishou to let your general come forward and speak."

Pan Feng also beats in his heart this time. He was afraid that he would be recognized by the army of Hanzhong. In that case, his plan would be ruined.

"General Anyi is just an inconspicuous miscellaneous general, and they should not pay attention to it at ordinary times." Pan Feng can only comfort herself like this.

"What is General Anyi?" Zhang Wei said suspiciously, "Why haven't you heard of it?"

The general beside him hugged his fist and said, "General Anyi is just a miscellaneous general. It seems that Wang Yong will definitely not be valued in Dong Zhuo."

"It's like this." Zhang Wei said something, and then said something to the soldier who sent the message.

"My general said, since you sent an edict for the emperor, why did so many soldiers and horses come to invade my Yangping Pass?"

Pan Feng thought for a moment and continued to say, "Presumably, Taishou Zhang also knows that my Dong Taishi was in the Hulao Pass, and the Sishui Pass broke through Yuan Shao's 18th-way coalition. However, the thief is so powerful that Dong Taishi can't bear to see many people involved in the innocent war, so he has now withdrawn from Luoyang. The thief occupied Luoyang, and it was not safe for us to go all the way to Hanzhong. Therefore, the Taishi sent him to escort the imperial edict.

"In that case, what evidence do you have?"

"The court wants to worship Zhang Lu as the governor of Hanzhong, but the imperial edict of the emperor is for Zhang Taishou and cannot be used as evidence. I have given the seal of the eunuch Zhang, which can be used as a certificate. Pan Feng shouted under the gate.

Zhang Wei, who closed, was overjoyed when he heard this.

"The court wants to worship my brother as the governor of Hanzhong, okay, okay."

Although Zhang Lu was divided into Hanzhong, the court has never given him a formal name. He can only be regarded as a real and anonymous. In the Han Dynasty, an era that valued reputation, without the title of the court, you can only be regarded as a traitor in the eyes of other princes. If the so-called name is not correct, the words will not go well. If the words are not right, you will have no confidence to do things. Therefore, Zhang Lu also went to the court many times, but Dong Zhuo was busy dealing with Yuan Shao and was not in the mood to care about him, so he never received a reply from the court.

"General, beware of fraud." The general beside him reminded.

"General Wei said yes and asked him to submit the official seal to me to have a look." Zhang Wei said.

"My general said that he asked you to show him the official seal." The soldier at the top of the city shouted.

Pan Feng gave a look at the soldiers behind them, asking them not to act rashly, and walked alone to Yangping Pass. At this time, his heart also jumped, and his hand holding the knife even trembled slightly. If the defenders of Yangping Pass fired arrows at this time, he would definitely be a hedgehog in range.

And this big knife is not as smooth as the pear blossom mountain axe, and the effect of resisting the arrow branch is definitely not good. Since the last fall off the cliff, Pan Feng's pear blossom mountain axe has disappeared. In addition to this march, he has no time to build the same axe, so he can only use a well-made knife first.

The suspension bridge in the city slowly came down.

Pan Feng slowly walked to the bottom of the wall. The defenders in the barrier did not shoot arrows. It seemed that he came alone and did not have any warning. Soon, he put down a tray-like thing on the wall, with a rope tied on it. Pan Feng put the official seal into the tray and was picked up by the defenders.

If you want to say that this official seal is indeed the official seal of the imperial guard of Hanzhong, but if you want to get this official seal, Pan Feng is also predestined. In a carriage intercepted by the Xiliang Army, such a cart was found, which contained the official seals of the princes from all over the world. One of them is the official seal of the imperial guard of Hanzhong.

In fact, these were originally the official seals newly cast by Emperor Ling of Han who planned to promote the meritorious ministers to eliminate the yellow scarf and thieves in various places, but his death was so sudden that he drove to the west before he could reward all kinds of princes. Then Dong Zhuo went to Beijing, abolished the young emperor, and established the emperor. The matter of the division of princes has been put on hold, and this batch of official seals has been idle.

I didn't expect it to come in handy today.

Zhang Wei touched it and almost jumped up happily.

"Yes, this is the official seal of Hanzhong Taishou. Hurry up, open the gate and welcome the Xiliang army into the city.

Wei Yan, the general beside him, was a little anxious.

"General, there are many soldiers in Xiliang, and they are all elite cavalry. Beware of fraud!"

"The seals of Xiliang officers have been brought up. They are here to announce the place of the emperor's recruitment for my eldest brother. What can there be any malice? Hurry up and open the gate."

"But the general..."

"Don't ink, I'm a general and you are my subordinate. How dare you not obey my orders!" Zhang Weiniu's eyes stared, and there was a tendency to turn his face.
