Starting from Guan Ping's arrival at Chenggu, the battle was only three days in total, and the real battle was only one day.

For Guan Ping, this was not the first time he experienced victory, but he was particularly happy, because from command, coordination to accepting surrender, he completed it alone, without the help of anyone else's power, and that sense of accomplishment was not comparable to the victory that he had fought with Guan Yu in the past.

"Sir, thanks to your siege equipment." Guan Ping found Liu Yi and smiled. In person, Guan Ping could better understand the power of those siege equipment.

"You are not grateful to me. If Han Sheng and Wei Yan had not driven away the reinforcements, Cheng Gu would not have been so easily captured." Liu Yi pulled lunch and said casually: "This Cheng Gu has already gone. You have to be on guard against reinforcements from Shangyong's direction at all times. I should go back."

He came here mainly because Liu Bei was worried that Guan Ping was leading the troops for the first time. Now Cheng Gu has already stepped down. Even if there are reinforcements from Shangyong and Fangling come to support him, with Guan Ping's ability, he can still defend the city. Liu Yi will also go back to Nanzheng.

Guan Ping smiled and said, "I will send someone to escort the sir!"

"Of course." Liu Yi nodded naturally. It's a mess these days, and it would be insecure to travel without a bodyguard.

At that moment, Guan Ping helped Liu Yi arrange a 300-man guard to escort Liu Yi back to Nanzheng Daying, and from Chenggu to Nanzheng Daying, it will be within half a day. When Liu Yi was blocked from returning, the people arranged by Liu Bei had already received the meetings of the Central Army.

"What happened?" Liu Yi saw Liu Bei, Pang Tong, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Huang Zhong, Liu Feng, Wei Yan and others were there. After meeting Liu Bei, he sat down and asked curiously.

"Then Yang Song has been sent to Yangping Pass." Pang Tong smiled and said, "I sent someone to send a letter yesterday, hoping that we will send someone to take over as soon as possible. But now I am worried that Yang Song will be sincere in his favor and who will send to guard the pass?"

After all, Yang Song is Zhang Lu's man. If this is a false surrender, if he really sends people over, he will lose his troops and generals.

"Yangpingguan originally had 800 defenders, but now Yang Song has brought 800 soldiers, so there are two schools of men. Who should I send and how many men should I send in?" Sun Qian sighed while touching his beard.

This is not just a matter of seizing the military power of Yangping Pass. Not long after, Yang Ang led his army back. According to Liu Yi's previous wishes, he had to take down Yang Ang's men together.

Liu Yi frowned and pondered when he heard this. Although Yang Song did think he wanted to vote, and his brother Yang Bai was in his hands and had no reason to turn against him, but people's hearts were separated from their stomachs. Many things were not changed according to their personal will. He was not easy to guarantee such things.

"Lord!" Wei Yan suddenly stood up, bowed to Liu Bei and said, "I am willing to give it a try!"

"Oh?" Liu Bei looked at Wei Yan and asked, "If Yang Song pretended to surrender, what should Wen Chang do?"

"Blade your head and grab the pass!" Wei Yan's voice was sonorous and powerful.

If Yang Song directly refused to let Wei Yan enter the pass, there was nothing he could do. It would be better to be true to each other. But if Yang Song wanted to use any tricks and trick Wei Yan into Guanzhong and then assassinate him, Wei Yan was not a fool. As long as he was allowed to enter the pass, Yang Song would have no choice but to make the decision.

"I think you can give it a try!" Liu Yi looked at Wei Yan and hesitated for a moment: "Yang Bai is still here. If Yang Song takes into account his brotherhood, he will not dare to take Wen Chang. If he has a true love, Hanzhong will take half of it."

When Pang Tong heard this, he nodded. He considered more comprehensively. Not only Hanzhong, but also Yangping Pass was related to the safety of the rear when Liu Bei counterattacked Sichuan and Shu in the future, so no matter what, this danger is worth taking.

Seeing that Pang Tong and Liu Yi agreed, and the others did not speak, Liu Bei nodded and said, "I wonder how many soldiers and horses Wen Chang needs?"

"Three hundred is enough!" Wei Yan bowed and bowed, "If there were too many soldiers and horses, Yang Song was afraid that he would feel a grudge and would not let us enter the pass. If he had to be careful of the three hundred people, it would not be a true love."

Liu Bei nodded and smiled when he heard this: "It seems that Wen Chang has already planned. Since this is the case, it will be convenient for you to join Yang Song. If you can win Yangping Pass, you just need to stick to it and never go out rashly!"

"Here!" Wei Yan bowed and bowed, took the order from Liu Bei, and personally went to select the troops and prepared to go to Yangping Pass.

Seeing Wei Yan leave, Liu Bei looked at Liu Yi and smiled and said, "This time Cheng Gu has been taken away by our army and cut off the eastern part of Hanchuan. This is all Boyuan's achievements."

"In addition to providing siege equipment, whether it is coordinated or military orders in this battle, they are all commanders of the Tan, and they really dare not bow." Liu Yi waved his hand, he did not want to steal Guan Ping's credit.

"Oh?" Liu Bei looked at Liu Yi in surprise when he heard this. Liu Yi knew Guan Ping's level. It was good to be with Guan Yu for many years and have rich combat experience, but he lacked courage and decisiveness. This is also the reason why Liu Bei was worried about letting Guan Ping be the only one. He was a good deputy, but he did not have the ability to be the only one.

Liu Yi smiled and said the offensive and defensive battles of Cheng Gu, including Guan Ping's various arrangements. In fact, compared to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, a general with a distinct personality, Liu Yi admired Guan Ping's more down-to-earth and heavy military generals who could consider all aspects. After all, like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rely on talent and are difficult to replicate, but Guan Ping's only has the ability to spend time and give opportunities.

Although there are no strong advantages, there are no obvious shortcomings. We need to worry about not worrying about making trouble.

Liu Bei couldn't help but lit up slightly. There was nothing worth paying attention to in the Battle of Chenggu, which was a thousand people. After all, although Liu Bei's life was bumpy, he had experienced many storms and waves. He had participated in the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Chibi. This kind of offensive and defensive battle in small cities was not worth mentioning for Liu Bei. What surprised him was Guan Ping's growth during this period.

Seeing this, Liu Yi smiled and said, "Actually, General Guan has rich combat experience, but he has been under the command of the second general for a long time. Although he has enough knowledge, he has invisibly worn away his sharpness and courage. Now some small battles that are not very important can be tried to let him command it alone."

Liu Bei smiled and nodded. He was better than Liu Yi in using people. Naturally, he knew what Liu Bei meant. This was not only about Guan Ping, but also the cultivation of the younger generation. This was also the reason why Liu Bei did not lead Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun to become famous generals like this after entering Shu.

Now it seems that the effect is good. Wei Yan and Guan Ping have shown their abilities one after another, at least they don’t have to worry that no one under Liu Bei’s command will be available in the future.

Next, we discussed the issue of Nanzheng. Basically, the same idea is still there. Nanzheng does not need to rush to attack. Now they have time and can afford it. Instead, they can try to send people to lobby Shangyong, Xicheng, Xixian, Fangling and other counties to surrender. Now that Chenggu is broken, Hanzhong is cut off from the middle. If these defenders can be persuaded to surrender, Liu Bei can take half of Hanzhong without bloodshed.

There are as many as 100,000 households in Hanchuan. In this chaotic era, it can be regarded as a wealthy county. It is just a matter of sending people to lobby without any need to move troops. If it can succeed, Liu Bei will have more than a thousand troops.

On the other hand, Wei Yan received the order of Liu Bei, selected three hundred elite soldiers, and rushed to Yangping Pass at night. Before, when Yang Song went to Yangping Pass, he secretly sent someone to arrange a secret code. Wei Yan did not rush to call the city, but waited until night and sent people to circle the left and right with torches under Yangping Pass.

"General, will Yang Song really come?" Guancheng did not start, and a team leader asked softly.

"It should be coming." Wei Yan nodded. No matter what Yang Song's idea was, he would definitely come out, otherwise there would be no need to run to Yangping Pass in person.

After glaring for more than half an hour, I saw someone in the distance holding a torch dancing there. If I hadn't known the code, I would have thought it was a fool playing with a torch there in the middle of the night.

"Bring him here!" Wei Yan waved his hand.

After a while, a scholar came over and looked at the dark night with figures around him. I don’t know how many people came, and I felt a little cold in my heart: “I wonder which one is General Wei Wenchang?”

"I'm." Wei Yan came closer and looked at the literary scholar in front of him and said, "You are Yang Song?"

"That's right!" Yang Song nodded and said with a solemn expression: "The general is here just right. If you have any questions, please help me."

"Oh?" Wei Yan looked at Yang Song unexpectedly and said, "What's the matter?"

"The Yangping Pass has no intention of surrendering. In the past few days, I have hinted several times, but he has seized the military power by him. I also asked the general to take action and kill him!" Yang Song said viciously.

Originally, I thought that the Yangping Pass was a man who knew how to advance and retreat, and it was not difficult to convince him. Who knew that Yang Song had made several hints, not only did he refuse righteously, but he seized his military power. If it weren't for the person guarding the city, it would be impossible for him to come out to see Wei Yan tonight.

"How to do it?" Wei Yan frowned. If Yang Song asked him to enter the city alone, Wei Yan was ready to slash him with one knife.

"I wonder how many troops the general brought this time?" Yang Song asked.

"Three hundred!" Wei Yan stared at Yang Song and said.

"Only three hundred?" Yang Song hesitated. He didn't understand military affairs, but the gap between the two sides was too big: "The guard seized my troops. Now there are two schools in Guanzhong, Yangping. The general only brought 300 people. Is there some..."

"Three hundred people are enough." Wei Yan was too lazy to explain to the other party.

"The general guarding the city is my former general. You can open the city gate. The general can take advantage of the night to break into the city and first take the head of the guard, and then help the general convince the generals in Guanzhong. If there are any people who refuse to follow..." Yang Song looked at Wei Yan and made a move to wipe his neck.

Wei Yan: “…”

It is actually quite sad that Zhang Lu has such a subordinate. This is more cruel than his own attacks!
