"Third brother..." Guan Yu jumped down from the rock, hugged Zhang Fei in his arms, and the two hugged each other and cried.
Afterwards, Guan Yu took Zhang Fei to a very secluded cave on the mountain. There was a bonfire in the cave, which was extremely warm. The two brothers sat by the bonfire, looking at each other and smiling.
"Second brother, the eldest brother is dead. He was killed by Wu Gou..." Zhang Fei sighed and said lightly.
Guan Yu frowned, his Danfeng eyes opened completely, his expression was gloomy, and he said: "I heard, I will avenge my brother, but now is not the time."
"Second brother, if Han is gone, where should we go?" Zhang Fei asked.
"I want to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests for a while and live a free and easy life for a few years. What about you?" Guan Yu stared at Zhang Fei with his burning eyes and asked.
Zhang Fei lowered his head and said nothing. For a long time, he turned his head and glanced at his Zhangba Snake Spear, sighed softly, and said, "Then I will stay here to accompany my second brother."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei understood each other, so how could they not understand the changes in Zhang Fei's heart? He said slowly: "No matter how the eldest brother treated us during his lifetime, the eldest brother will always be the eldest brother. The oath of friendship in Taoyuan cannot be forgotten. Now
The eldest brother is dead, the Han Kingdom is gone, and more than half of the entire world is in the hands of the Huaxia Kingdom.
He is so powerful that he will surely dominate the world in the future. Gao Fei, a man with extraordinary knowledge and knowledge, is afraid that no one can beat him now. Third brother, you are not suitable for such a dull life. You have a fierce temper. Stay here for ten days.
Half a month is fine, but as time goes by, you will definitely become irritable and abnormal. You should just follow your heart and find another way out!"
"Second brother, I won't! If you don't leave, I won't leave either!" Zhang Fei said nervously.
"Third brother, don't worry. Sooner or later we will be reunited again. Besides, your family, mine, and my eldest brother's family are all in the hands of the Huaxia Kingdom. I have to ask you to take more care of me," Guan Yu said.
"Second brother, you... I worked so hard to find you. We finally met, and you want to drive me away again. You should let me live with you for a while, right?"
Guan Yu thought for a while, glanced at the Qinglong Yanyue Sword placed behind Zhang Fei against the stone wall of the cave, and said: "That's good, you can teach me some of my sword skills. In the past, I lost to Zhao Zilong, and the third brother Zhiyongyuan
Above me, I can never guess who will win or lose with Zhao Zilong. Since my third brother is going to serve in China, I will naturally help you as my brother."
"Second brother...when did I...said that I was going to serve in China...I..."
"There are no outsiders here, what are you hiding from me? My eldest brother is gone, so there is no need to hide it anymore. In the past in Jizhou, when my eldest brother faked his death, you were the first to want to join Gao Fei, and then borrow Gao Fei's help.
Fei has the power to avenge his elder brother, and although Gao Fei and you can't be said to have a deep friendship, they have let you go twice and given you a gift.
You are a famous horse. Gao Fei intends to make you a general under his command. Now Gao Fei is the emperor of China. Among the five tiger generals of China, Zhao Yun is the leader and has the most outstanding martial arts. If you can defeat him in one fell swoop,
Zhao Yun, your status in the Huaxia Kingdom will be extremely respected. Only then will I and my eldest brother’s family have the strength to protect you..."
After Zhang Fei heard what Guan Yu said, he thought to himself: "It turns out that the second brother has known my thoughts for a long time, but what the second brother said is right. I should shoulder the responsibility of protecting the families of the three brothers..."
"Third brother, I will let you stay here for half a month. With your martial arts skills, you can definitely master my sword skills within half a month. When the time comes, you can master it yourself, and you must use the sword I taught you.
I can't defeat Zhao Yun, so it means that I have defeated Zhao Yun."
Zhang Fei suddenly laughed and said: "Second brother, you are so insidious... Then I will simply teach you my spear skills. You go and have another try with Zhao Yun. Wouldn't it be better if you beat him yourself?"
"Well, in the past half month, I will teach you sword skills, and you will teach me spear skills, and we will learn from each other. If I ever see Zhao Yun again in the future, I will definitely defeat him myself!"
The two had made up their minds and decided to teach each other their martial arts skills. Zhang Fei also decided to submit to the Huaxia Kingdom and shoulder the responsibility of protecting the three families...
At the same time, Hanzhong County and Nanzheng City.
Gao Fei had already sent out several imperial edicts. When he heard that Cao Cao had led an army of 100,000 to Jiameng Pass, he felt that his troops were too few, so he immediately sent another scout to Liangzhou to deliver a message, asking Taishi Ci to dispatch 50,000 troops to assist Hanzhong.
.
As soon as the scouts here left, Bian Xi came in immediately and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao is leading an army of 30,000 people towards Dingjun Mountain. I dare not delay. I will report back at starry night."
"Cao Cao is leading the expedition himself, and he also has Pang Tong as his military advisor. I am afraid that Zhang Ren will be unable to resist. You should immediately send an order to assemble an army of 10,000 troops to quickly support Dingjun Mountain. There must not be any mistakes in this mountain. I will take people to Dingjun Mountain first.
, you lead the 10,000 troops to follow." After hearing this, Gao Fei felt an unprecedented feeling for some reason.
Some are nervous. The arrival of the army is a long way away, and Uliden and Dianwu arrived from the west city with limited explosives. War has been going on for a while, and the explosives have been consumed very quickly. Even if they are recruited from Luoyang, it is already too late.
. Therefore, he will definitely go to Dingjun Mountain in person to meet his old rival Cao Mengde.
"promise!"
Gao Fei immediately led a thousand Feiyu troops and Fazheng out of Nanzheng City, leaving Zhang Meng behind to guard Hanzhong.
…………
Dingjun Mountain is a famous battlefield during the Three Kingdoms period. It has the reputation of "if you win Dingjun Mountain, you will win Hanzhong, and if you win Hanzhong, you will rule the world." This shows that Dingjun Mountain played a great role in Hanzhong. Of course, this role is prominent in defense.
On the basis of Shu, it is only for the southwest.
Dingjun Mountain belongs to the Daba Mountain Range, which runs from Gaomiaozi to the plains and has twelve beautiful peaks, from Shishanzi to Yuanshanzi, known as the "Twelve Peaks", and to the east is the solitary peak of Dangkou Temple, from west to east
Stretching for more than ten kilometers, it is like a dragon playing with a pearl, so it is known as "a pearl in the Twelve Mountains".
There is a large natural pot-bottom-shaped depression in the south of Dingjun Mountain, with a circumference of three to four miles. It is called "Yangtian Depression" and can house more than ten thousand soldiers and horses. From the top of the mountain, you can overlook the bottom of the mountain. At the northern foot of Dingjun Mountain, there is a vast fertile wilderness, which can also be used for military training.
Stationing troops is also the best place for fighting.
In the Yangtian Valley of Dingjun Mountain, Zhang Ren learned that Cao Cao was personally marching and that Xiahou Dun, the front vanguard, was approaching, so he gathered all the generals and immediately made a plan: "Cao Cao, the old thief, is marching personally to attack Ding with 30,000 troops."
Junshan. I have sent people to inform Hu
General Wei, please move to Tiandang Mountain to coordinate with our army. As long as you stick to this mountain, even if Cao Cao has an army of 100,000, he will never be able to conquer it. From today on, everyone will start to take strict precautions. Without my order
, no one is allowed to go down the mountain privately."
After hearing this, the four generals Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Liu Quan and Deng Xian all clasped their fists and accepted the order happily.
After that, everyone dispersed, each leading a thousand men to set up an ambush at the key road in the mountain, and laid many traps. Zhang Ren and others were old generals of the Shu Han Dynasty and were very familiar with the local geography. They immediately took advantage of the dangerous location of Dingjun Mountain.
A highly protected trap net was quickly laid out.
…………
"Hurry up! Everyone, speed up the journey. We must reach Tiandang Mountain before noon!" Zhao Yun took the lead and rode his horse to the roadside. He moved his heavy rain soul-killing gun forward and shouted loudly to his men.
Uliden opened the way in front, Dianwu moved in behind, Zhao Yun was in the middle of the army, and quickly moved from Micang Mountain to Tiandang Mountain with an infantry of 5,000 horses.
Tiandang Mountain is located at the western end of Hanzhong Basin, four kilometers north of Mianyang County, far opposite Dingjun Mountain in the south of Mianyang County. The terrain is dangerous and forms an angle with Dingjun Mountain. It is the western gateway of Hanzhong Basin and controls the west.
Sichuan-Shaanxi Main Trail
, blocking the south entrance of the Chencang Ancient Road in the north, it was an important military barrier in ancient times that controlled the thoroughfare between Qin and Shu and the south entrance of the Chencang Road to ensure the security of the Hanzhong Basin. Therefore, it has been a military pass that must be fought over by military strategists in history, and a must-have territory for military strategists of all generations.
Zhang Ren was very familiar with the terrain and geography of Shu and knew the importance of Tiandang Mountain. When he learned that Cao Wei's army had left Jiameng Pass, he immediately informed Zhao Yun to move to Tiandang Mountain to form a horn.
The former Gao Fei ordered Zhao Yun to garrison at Micang Mountain. In fact, he did not know much about the geography of Bashu and miscalculated the location. At that time, Fazheng, Zhang Ren and other old Shu Han generals thought that Gao Fei was going to personally lead troops to garrison at Tiandang Mountain.
, so no objection was raised. Even though he knew Gao Fei's mistake now, it was too late to point it out. Instead of spreading the news to Nanzheng City, it would be better to send it directly to Zhao Yun. Zhang Ren believed that Zhao Yun could understand him.
of good intentions.
Zhao Yun was both civil and military. When Zhang Ren sent someone to deliver the letter to Micang Mountain, he immediately analyzed the interests and violated Gao Fei's imperial edict for the first time, secretly moving troops from Micang Mountain to Tiandang Mountain.
Zhang Ren's side was still actively setting up traps, Zhao Yun's side was speeding up his march, and the front of Cao Wei's army in response was also idle.
Xiahou Dun held many positions and personally led an infantry of 5,000 horses as the vanguard. He was the first to clear the way, clear the snow on the road, and clear obstacles for the army led by Cao Cao.
"How far is it from Dingjun Mountain?" Xiahou Dun casually asked Meng Da, a surrendered general of the Shu Han Dynasty.
Mengda replied: "It's not far away, there is still thirty miles at most."
"Thirty miles of land?" Xiahou Dun looked at the current progress and said, "Speed up the process. It must be cleared before dark. Your Majesty will lead the army behind, so don't smear our face!"
After the voice fell, the Wei soldiers worked more enthusiastically, clearing away the snow one after another.
…………
"Shi Yuan, based on your guess, what is the chance of victory for our army in attacking Hanzhong?" Cao Cao rode on his horse and turned to Pang Tong, the divine strategist beside him, and said.
Since Pang Tong helped Cao Cao conquer Shu, he was awarded the title of Shenji Military Advisor. He was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Except for Cao Cao's control, everyone else had to obey his orders. This was a very courtesy.
He smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, don't ask. Within ten days, Shi Yuan will naturally help your Majesty take Hanzhong."
"Ten days? I'm looking forward to it." Cao Cao also smiled. With Pang Tong's words, he had nothing to worry about.
