Under this horrific self-destruction, Yang Bai wisely ran away.
Before he ran away, he learned that there was already an army of nearly 20,000 people outside the city, waiting to reap the benefits.
The Shen brothers, Shen Yi and Shen Dan, had already squatted outside the city early. However, he and his tribe were immersed in the frenzy of fighting for the treasure house and did not even know about this kind of thing.
Of course Shen Dan and Shen Yi would not let them go. Both the Zhang family and the Yang family were on the killing list of the two brothers. Therefore, when they saw so many Yang family members escaping from the city, the Shen brothers led
Twenty thousand soldiers and horses swarmed up and surrounded and killed them.
Such behavior can be said to be quite ruthless, because Yang Bai obviously watched the Shen brothers staring at the fire burning in the sky in the city, but he had no intention of going to put out the fire and allowed the fire to spread in the city.
They were determined to take over Nanzheng City, even if all the people in the city were killed or injured, they would not hesitate.
In grief and anger, Yang Bai fled out of the siege in despair. In the end, only about 200 of the nearly 1,000 Yang family members were able to escape from Nanzheng City. They crossed the sweat all the way, crossed Yangping Pass, and fled from Jinniu Road to
Chengdu.
By chance, they met Liu Bei's vanguard troops on their way south from Baishui Pass to Jiange.
When Yang Bai saw that it was impossible to escape over the mountains and ridges to an uninhabited place on the dark Golden Bull Road, he was exhausted both physically and mentally, so he immediately dropped.
Zhang Fei originally did not know the specific situation in Hanzhong today. Even Zhuge Liang only knew based on previous reports from people coming from Nanzheng City that the Shen brothers might be about to capture Nanzheng.
But after Chen Ying and Bao Long captured Yang Bai and asked him to confess the situation in Hanzhong at this moment, even Zhang Fei did not expect that Hanzhong was still in a state of war.
"General Zhang... Zhang! You... you are right! As long as... as long as you work harder, you can take the lead in taking Hanzhong! The Shen brothers are just a bunch of rabble! Not to mention... those Zhang family bullshit in the city
A Taoist priest!"
Yang Bai's face was ashes, obviously from being burned. He hated the Shen brothers deeply, but he hated those Zhang family Taoist priests even more.
You said you fight, just fight, why are you self-destructing?
It's fine now, I didn't catch anything and you all exploded, so why bother?
Although he still has some thoughts about the treasure house, Yang Bai has calmed down now.
He has now reported the situation in Hanzhong. If the big black face in front of him can take down Hanzhong, maybe he can take the Yang family to find a place to stay with Liu Bei?
Thinking like this, he began to frantically persuade Zhang Fei to attack quickly.
Of course Zhang Fei is also impatient. As for Liu Xian, after leaving Lingling, he claimed to be a Confucian general. This time he went out with the vanguard. He finally had the opportunity to show his talents. When he heard about the military exploits, his eyes were filled with tears.
Straight up, I simply took Yang Bai's position and was even more anxious than Yang Bai.
"General! I think what Mr. Yang said is right. This opportunity should not be missed. If we think about it again, Hanzhong may fall into the hands of others!"
"That's true..."
Zhang Fei scratched his beard. He instinctively resisted, mainly because he actually received Zhuge Liang's instructions, and the first step was not to enter Hanzhong directly.
Zhuge Liang's request was to let Zhang Fei lead 30,000 troops, one of which would block Yangping Pass, occupy Guangshi in the north, and guard the pass leading directly to Hanzhong from the Jinniu Road.
The other army marched directly north and marched directly from the small road to Chencang Road - looking for an opportunity to advance north and directly take Wudu Xiabian in Liangzhou in the north, or cut off the grain road that Cao Cao had most likely arranged on Chencang Road.
Zhuge Liang had far-reaching plans, and these two steps were actually quite important for the subsequent offensive and defensive situation in Hanzhong.
Unless Cao Cao becomes ruthless and is willing to risk his army and even the baggage troops take the steep slope road and take the so-called shortcut to Hanzhong, otherwise, as long as Cao Cao is still normal, he will definitely choose the safer place: Chang'an——
The route from Xiabian to Chencang Road to Yangpingguan and then to Hanzhong.
This road is not as steep, and to a certain extent is wider and more efficient in transporting grain.
Zhang Fei's real role is actually one of Zhuge Liang's ultimate moves to predict food in advance.
But...but but...
Zhang Fei obviously misunderstood, and there may be reasons why Zhuge Liang didn't explain too much, but in short——
Zhang Fei felt that the reason why his vanguard troops did not enter Hanzhong was because Zhuge Liang did not know that Hanzhong was still ownerless, but it was different now. With Yang Bai's confirmation, Zhang Fei felt that he had the opportunity to make great contributions.
.
Coupled with the persuasion of Liu Xian, who was already attracted to military glory——
He slapped his thigh and announced that the army would turn to pass Yangping Pass and march straight to Hanzhong.
"No! General! General, please don't forget the instructions given by the military advisor! At this time, the route is diverted to Hanzhong. If we fail to capture Hanzhong and delay the deployment of the military advisor, this will definitely be a very unfavorable situation for our army!"
The person who spoke was a young general who had just shown his talents in Liu Bei's army, named Huo Jun.
He was less than thirty years old and was already well-known among Liu Biao. Whether he was leading or managing troops, he had the style of a famous general. After joining Liu Bei, he gradually gained Zhuge Liang's trust.
To be honest, Zhuge Liang just likes generals who are obedient, follow steps and never cause trouble.
Not to mention that Huo Jun is less than twenty years old now - after thinking about it, because the vanguard team led by Zhang Fei does not have a reliable lieutenant, although there are Chen Ying, Bao Long and others around him, in the final analysis, they are not
It's the calm type.
Huo Jun was sent to follow Zhang Fei as a deputy general to remind Zhang Fei not to make mistakes.
But when Huo Jun opened his mouth to dissuade him, he was met with resistance from Zhang Fei and everyone around Zhang Fei:
"General Huo! General Zhang has his own reasons for his decision. Since you have served Liu Biao, you have never experienced a few real hard battles. How can you refute General Zhang's decision?"
Liu Xian is always flattering when he opens his mouth.
When Zhang Fei heard what Liu Xian said, his remaining awe for Zhuge Liang was overwhelmed by the pride in his heart.
When he thought about it, it seemed like this was the case?
He has followed Liu Bei for so many years, and has even become his brother-in-law. Is it possible that when it comes to leading troops to fight, he is not even qualified to make decisions on his own?
In fact, except for Jingnan, Zhuge Liang, the younger brother, did not lead them to fight a few real victorious battles, but his eldest brother Liu Bei just obeyed his words.
Feeling rebellious and proud at the same time, Zhang Fei immediately raised his spear and mounted his horse.
"Zhong Miao! I don't need you or the military advisor to judge my decision. The military advisor sits firmly behind the army, but the war situation on the frontline is changing, and the plan cannot keep up with the changes. You will have to learn how to adapt to changes for a long time!"
"The army obeys the order! After passing Baishui Pass, we will go straight to Yangping Pass and kill Hanzhong!"
"Roar!!"
Under the roar of everyone, Huo Jun looked a little pitiful and aggrieved.
Although he had not understood the deeper meaning of Zhuge Liang's arrangement at the moment, his intuition told him that if he followed Zhuge Liang's words, although he might not be able to win Hanzhong at the moment, he would never make a mistake.
Following the army in despair, Liu Bei's vanguard troops went against Zhuge Liang's strategy at extremely fast speeds and headed towards Hanzhong.
But Zhang Fei didn’t figure it out in the end——
Although he is very senior and speaks with great weight, before Zhuge Liang arrived, they were beaten to the point of running away, and they were always losing battles!
