At the foot of Dingjun Mountain, Cao Cao's defeated army returned to camp. He felt baffled by the sudden arrival of the Chinese army. He didn't know how Gao Fei and others arrived at Dingjun Mountain.
After cleaning up the remaining soldiers, as soon as Cao Cao returned to the tent, he slammed his helmet on the ground and said angrily: "We were about to capture Dingjun Mountain. It's better now. Everything was in vain. So many people were killed and injured. As a result,
If nothing is caught, it will be even more difficult to attack Dingjun Mountain."
Pang Tong said: "Your Majesty, although Dingjun Mountain is extremely dangerous, I think that now that our army has captured the main road to Hanzhong, we can use our brains on it. Your Majesty can pretend to abandon Dingjun Mountain and then march straight in.
Arrive directly at the foot of Hanzhong City. In addition, send another general with heavy troops
Defend Dingjun Mountain and tightly surround Gao Fei and others on the mountain. If Gao Fei knew that our army was going to attack Hanzhong, he would definitely be eager to fight. Ask the defender to let Gao Fei go, and then your majesty will turn around and return.
A flanking attack will definitely kill Gao Fei. As long as Gao Fei dies, Hanzhong County will be defeated soon."
"The military advisor's brilliant plan..." Cao Cao said with a happy smile.
"Your Majesty, a large number of Chinese troops were found ten miles ahead, about 10,000 people. The leader of the troops was Bian Xi, the Minister of the Ministry of Intelligence of the Huaxia State. He also acted in accordance with the law and set up checkpoints along the way to block the main road to Hanzhong.
" Suo Xu heard that today's attack on the mountain failed, and Gao Fei and others were like falling from the sky, so he immediately rushed back. As soon as he entered the tent, he reported the military information obtained to Cao Cao.
After hearing this, Cao Cao smiled and said: "I came just in time. Now I will catch all these people and trap them all on Dingjun Mountain. Suo Xu."
"I'm here."
"Immediately lead your troops, withdraw from the pass, set up camp, and attack Bian Xi. Then send out the news that Gao Fei, Zhang Ren and others have all been killed in Dingjun Mountain. Our army has occupied Dingjun Mountain. Let them
Surrender. I predict that Bian Xi and many Chinese soldiers will definitely avenge Gao Fei. Fa Zheng will never be able to stop him. As long as Bian Xi
Xi led the army to fight out. You pretended to be defeated, retreated here, and then let Bian Xi and others go up to Dingjun Mountain. It was difficult to tell at night, so Gao Fei and others must have thought that our army was coming to attack Dingjun Mountain again, so they first let them kill each other.
Our army will completely surround them on Dingjun Mountain. We will wait until the reinforcements arrive early tomorrow morning and then use our military advisor's strategy." Cao Cao said excitedly.
"I obey the order!" After hearing this, Suo Xu felt that this plan was very clever and left immediately.

Yizhou, Yinping Ancient Road.
"Is this the Yinping Ancient Road?" Sima Yi asked, pointing to a narrow and rugged trail ahead.
Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "Back to Jianjun, this is the Yinping Ancient Road. From here, you can cross Motian Ridge, pass through Tangjiahe, Yinping Mountain, Mazhuan Pass, and Jingjun Mountain, and then you can reach Jiangyou Pass. The total length is seven hundred miles.
, go straight into the heart of Shu, go around behind Jiange Pass, and then proceed southwest to reach Chengdu City in Shu County."
After hearing this, Sima Yi said "Yes", thought for a moment, and said: "The seven hundred miles of dangerous mountain road, even if it is traveled day and night, will take half a month. In addition, the weather is very cold now, I am afraid it will take more than 20 days."
time……"
Zhang Xiu seemed to regret Sima Yi's words, so he urged: "The supervisor has to shoot the arrow when it is on the string. If we turn around and go back, it will only delay the time. I am willing to be the vanguard of the front and clear the way first when encountering mountains.
When we meet the river and build a bridge, my men are in the large area around Wudu.
We are used to living in the mountains and can fully adapt to the terrain here. The supervisory army only needs to follow closely with 40,000 northwest troops. If we do not take this route and attack Shuzhong from the front, what we are facing is a talented and rough strategy.
I'm afraid it will be difficult for Cao Cao to break through the obstacles of Guanshan."
Sima Yi said: "You are right, then in your opinion, you lead your own troops as the vanguard, and I will lead an army of 40,000 to follow. After arriving at Jiangyou City, we will plan where to go and strive to get through this period within twenty days."
Dangerous location."
"promise!"
The Yinping Ancient Road has been a dangerous and rugged road since ancient times. In the past dynasties, except for local farmers, this road was only used for necessary war needs.
After some discussion, Sima Yi and Zhang Xiu made a complete decision to go this way. Immediately, the 50,000 soldiers and horses were divided into two groups. Zhang Xiu led his own army of 10,000 to clear the way first, and Sima Yi led an army of 40,000 to follow closely behind. The army of 50,000 was here.
I started walking on the narrow road, taking desperate risks for the sake of victory.
…………
Suo Xu returned to the military camp, and immediately asked Sauron and Suo Luo brothers to withdraw from the camp, and asked Suo Luo to take the food and grass to Tiandang Mountain and divide two thousand people to garrison, while Suo Xu led Suo Long and galloped forward in the starry night.
On the main road ten miles away, Bian Xi had already set up camp. The scouts he sent out did not come back for a long time. According to predictions, he must have encountered an unexpected incident. He was very worried about Gao Fei and others on Dingjun Mountain, and he was anxiously waiting in the camp.
He was pacing.
Fazheng was sitting there, and when he saw Bian Xi walking around, his eyes were dazzled, and he immediately said: "Master Bian, can you sit quietly for a while?"
"The Emperor is in danger. Reinforcements are delayed and our troops are not allowed to attack. If something happens to the Emperor, how do you ask me to tell all the civil and military officials of the entire Huaxia Kingdom and thousands of people?
The people will explain?" Bian Xi said.
"Master Bian, do you think you can rescue the emperor in this way? The emperor's arrangement is naturally the emperor's intention. I think it is probably because he is afraid that the Wei army will abandon Dingjun Mountain and attack Hanzhong directly from this road. Let us stay here to let us stay here.
Our army stopped the Wei army from advancing." Fazheng analyzed.
"Sir! A large number of Wei troops have been spotted ahead, heading here quickly." A scout came in and reported.
"How many troops are coming?" There were about five thousand people, under the banner of Suo Xu, the general of the Wei army.
"We're here just in time. Send the order and we can fight. Light the torches and arrange a night battle!" Bian Xi said.
Fazheng hurriedly interjected: "Lord Bian, if the clues come so suddenly, there must be fraud in them. We should take precautions early. I think that holding on and not fighting is the best policy."
"It's a good idea to use a bird's egg! I finally caught the opportunity. It's time to eliminate Suoxu." Bian Xi didn't listen to Fa Zheng's words. He was already very anxious. Now that he heard that he was told to stand firm and not fight, he became angry and angry.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bian Xi immediately left the tent and immediately ordered: "The crossbowmen are hiding on the hillside on the left. Listen to my orders. The rest of the people will follow me out of the stronghold to fight and wait for the enemy."
After hearing this, Fa Zheng shook his head helplessly. He didn't have any official position yet. Gao Fei didn't officially give him any position. He just asked him to join the military, that's all. He couldn't persuade Bian Xi, so he could only follow him out.
.
Not long after, the Chinese army had arranged everything. Bian Xi sat on his horse and waited there quietly. When he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the mountain road, he cheered up.
After waiting for a while, Suo Xu arrived with his soldiers and horses. Looking at Bian Xi from a distance, he saw that the entrance of the Chinese army's camp was arranged very orderly, which made him look at the Chinese army with admiration.
"Is that Bian Xi in front?" Suoxu reined in the horse and shouted first.
"It's me, you're Suo Xu?" Bian Xi said without denying it.
"That's right! I was ordered to come here to surrender you. Your Majesty is grateful for his kindness. If your uncle is willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, your Majesty will not take any account of the past. What's more, your emperor has already died on Dingjun Mountain, so there is no need for you to be loyal...
…”
"What?" Bian Xi was immediately shocked when he heard Suo Xu's words and shouted, "What did you just say?"
"Two hours ago, our army launched a general attack on Dingjun Mountain. Sixty thousand troops surrounded Dingjun Mountain. After a fierce battle for an hour and a half, they finally cleared out all the enemy troops on Dingjun Mountain. Your Majesty the Emperor,
He also died in the battle on Dingjun Mountain." Suo Xu shouted.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. All the soldiers of the Chinese Army felt an inexplicable sadness in their hearts. They couldn't believe it was true.
"You are talking nonsense. The Emperor cannot die. The Emperor is the reincarnation of Ziwei Emperor Star. He cannot die like this easily..." Bian Xi shouted hysterically.
"Your Majesty..." Behind Bian Xi, many soldiers of the Chinese Army wailed in unison.
Upon seeing this, Fa Zheng hurriedly came to Bian Xi's side and said: "Master Bian, this is the enemy's stratagem. The emperor is definitely alive. Don't be easily fooled. You should quickly retreat to the camp and hold on without fighting, so as not to...
…”
"Go away!" Bian Xi roared at Fazheng.
Fazheng wanted to persuade him again, but Bian Xi had already shouted loudly, spurred his horse forward, and shouted angrily: "Charge over and go to Dingjun Mountain to rescue the emperor!"
With the order, the whole army was excited, and every Chinese soldier had a fire in his belly. Arrows immediately rained down from the left side of the hillside, and they were released towards Suo Xu and others. The cavalry and infantry all followed.
Bian Xi rushed out.
Seeing that Bian Xi had taken the bait, Suo Xu hurriedly ordered a retreat, shouting loudly: "The Chinese army is powerful, so we should stay away from the edge for the time being..."
Bian Xi led all 10,000 soldiers to rush out. No soldiers in the camp were left behind, and they followed Suo Xu closely.
When Fa Zheng saw that he was the only one left in such a large camp, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately rode towards Mianyang County to notify the thousand garrison troops already in Mianyang County to come and garrison.
Bian Xi pursued relentlessly, but Suo Xu's 5,000 soldiers and horses became fewer and fewer and disappeared as they fled. In the end, only more than 500 horsemen were left following closely, escaping all the way towards Dingjun Mountain.
When they arrived at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, Suo Xu immediately dismounted and quickly ran towards Dingjun Mountain, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
Bian Xi led his men in hot pursuit. Seeing that Suo Xu's people were dwindling little by little, he thought they were afraid and fled away, so he didn't care much and ran straight towards Dingjun Mountain.
Dingjun Mountain had just been burned by a fire during the day. Although most of the fires had been extinguished, there were still a few remaining fires. Bian Xi saw a piece of Cao Cao's scroll stuck in the weak light halfway up the mountain. Without thinking,
He led people directly up to Dingjun Mountain and rushed towards Dahu.
