Baishui Pass is located in Yingpan Township, Qingchuan County, Guangyuan City.
The land route leads to Qinlong in the north and Jiameng in the south; the water route goes up the Bailong River to Gannan, and down to Bayu and even Jingxiang.
Historically, when Fa Zheng was analyzing the form of Bashu for Liu Bei, he mentioned Baishui Pass.
He said: "The fish's recovery is actually the door to disaster and fortune in Yizhou."
This juncture is Baishui Pass.
Fazheng planned at that time that there were two ways to enter Bashu. One was to enter Shu from Yuzhu and go through Bajun, and the other was to enter Shujun from Baishui Pass. Therefore, holding on to the moment of Yuzhu's reconciliation is the blessing of Bashu.
Losing these two places will be a disaster for Bashu. This shows the importance of Baishui Pass!
Someone from Jin once recorded in "Records of the Southern Han Dynasty": Shu has three passes, Yangping, Jiangguan and Baishui.
After Liu Bei said that Wu Yi would surrender to Wu Lan, in order to appease the Chengdu generals, he appointed Deng Tong from Chengdu as the commander of Baishui Pass. After Zhuge Liang arrived at Jiameng Pass, he immediately noticed Meng Da's unusual movements, so he made an excuse to talk to him
After discussing the matter, they deceived Mengda from Baishui Pass to Jiameng Pass, and then killed him.
Deng Tong immediately captured Baishui Pass and regained control of Baishui Pass.
This Deng Tong was not very old, but he was born as a filial and honest man.
He was also a local powerful man in Chengdu, with great prestige. He was ruthless and ruthless. After arriving at Baishui Pass, he killed most of Mengda's generals and quickly took control of the situation. Then he fought with Liangzhou Hu King Bai Qi Huwen and Nanzhong Barbarian King Zhi Wudai.
They joined forces to defend Baishui Pass, full of confidence, and not afraid of Cao's army's attack.
This white tiger script is originally from the Hehuang Hu people.
As early as when Cao Peng first besieged Ma Teng, Bai Huwen belonged to Ma Teng's subordinates. After Ma Teng died in the battle, Bai Huwen led his troops to flee into Bashu. Later, he became related to Liu Bei and became
The new King Hu.
But Zhi Wudai is a barbarian from Nanzhong.
The three of them joined forces and ambushed Dianman Xu Yi first, and won a great victory.
Then Dianman and Xu Yi stood still, which only further fueled the three people's arrogance.
In mid-spring, three people were drinking and having fun at the Baishui juncture. While drinking, they pointed at the north and laughed and cursed.
"In human terms, Cao Peng is great, but I think it's nothing more than that.
There is a saying in the art of war that soldiers are valuable and quick. This Cao Peng was sitting in Hanzhong, but he was reluctant to attack. He obviously did not know the art of war. I really don’t know where his great reputation came from. The military strategist was not immune to this person.
Take it too seriously."
After Deng Tong said this, he smiled and said to Bai Huwen: "What does King Hu think?"
Bai Huwen had a smile on his face, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
If you look down on Cao Peng, he may not take you seriously. While Deng Tong slandered Cao Peng and asked about Bai Hu Wen, he was actually mocking Bai Hu Wen for his incompetence. The meaning of these words, Bai Hu Wen
How could he not hear it? It's just that he is in Bashu now, being held hostage, and has no power to argue with Deng Tong.
So he smiled slightly and said, "That's natural."
Deng Tong heard this and laughed.
At this time, I suddenly heard a report from the primary school: "Report to Guan Wei, Cao Jun, with Huang Zhong as the vanguard, leading five thousand troops, is marching towards Baishui Pass. It is expected to arrive at Guanxia in the evening, please Guan Wei to make arrangements early
Intend."
Cao Jun, attack?
Deng Tong was startled, then showed doubts, "Who is Huang Zhong?"
Bai Huwen and Zhi Wudai looked even more confused.
No wonder, Deng Tong was only in his twenties and had never left Bashu. He could only remember the names of a few of Cao Cao's generals. But most of them were Cao Peng, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Li Dianlejin and others. Huang Zhong
In the Cao Wei Dynasty, Huang Zhong was not very famous. Firstly, Huang Zhong kept a low profile, and secondly, because he followed Cao Peng, his reputation was overshadowed by Cao Peng. During the battle of Hedong against Bingzhou, Huang Zhong showed his majesty.
.But then, Huang Zhong became the governor of Hexi County and was gradually forgotten.
Except for the top executives of the Cao Wei Group and a few people, there are indeed not many people who know Huang Zhong's name.
Seeing that he was a nobody, Deng Tong didn't even care.
"Cao Peng deceived people too much... He dared to use an unknown soldier to come and take me from Baishui Pass?"
Before he finished speaking, someone on the side heard someone say: "Young master, why should you be angry about this? I will wait for a certain family to go and kill Huang Zhong for you, so as not to spoil your enjoyment of wine."
Deng Tong looked up and smiled immediately.
The man who requested the battle was named Deng Hu, and he was a warrior in the clan.
This time when Deng Tong came, the Chengdu Deng clan prepared more than 20 warriors for him to help him fight, and Deng Hu was one of them. Deng Hu was over thirty years old, eight feet tall, with broad arms and round waist. He used a mountain ax to fight.
Known as the Deng family tiger.
He had five brothers, all of whom were good at fighting and were also Deng Tong's confidants.
Seeing Deng Hu asking for a fight, Deng Tong naturally would not refuse, so he filled a glass of wine and said, "Deng Hu, if this battle is successful, you should be the first to take the lead."
Without saying a word, Deng Hu raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Immediately, he and his four brothers rushed down the pass, lit up their troops and horses, and rushed out of Baishui Pass like the wind, heading north.
Bai Huwen glanced at Deng Tong and opened his mouth, but did not speak.
He also knew that if he opened his mouth to persuade at this time, he would be humiliated by Deng Tong. So what exactly was Cao Peng capable of? Although Bai Huwen didn't see the whole story, he knew something about it. A man as powerful as Ma Teng would not have been humiliated by Cao Peng.
He was beaten and left in embarrassment, and finally his body and soul disappeared. Now that he has sent troops, even if Huang Zhong is not well-known, he is definitely not an ordinary person. You know, who followed Cao Peng at the beginning had a reputation? Didn't he just follow him?
After Cao Peng, his reputation became more and more famous, and finally he became a prince.
But then I thought again, the five Deng Hu brothers were brave and good at fighting, so it was not a big problem.
So I put my heart back in my stomach, drank with peace of mind, and didn't ask any more questions.
In mid-spring, it rains heavily in Bashu.
In the afternoon, a spring rain fell steadily.
Deng Tong had eaten too much wine and was a little smoky, so he returned to the big tent to rest. When he was sleeping in a daze, he suddenly heard someone shouting.
He opened his eyes and said with an unhappy look on his face: "What happened to disturb my erotic dream?"
"Sir, something bad has happened!"
Deng Tong was still drunk and asked immediately: "What happened?"
"General Deng Hu..."
"Deng Hu is back?" Deng Tong was overjoyed and laughed: "I have known for a long time that Deng Hu will be victorious, but have you ever taken the head of Huang Zhong? Where is he? I want to serve him wine.
Celebrating.”
The principal looked embarrassed, and after a while he said, "General Deng Hu, he's dead!"
"ah?"
"General Deng Hu formed a formation thirty miles outside the city and clashed with Cao's army.
In the end, within three rounds, they were killed by Huang Zhong, the vanguard of Cao's army. The general's four brothers went into battle to avenge General Deng Hu, but Huang Zhong killed three of them and captured one alive. Three thousand soldiers and horses were defeated and fled. Now Cao's army has arrived.
Customs."
"ah!"
When Deng Tong heard this, he suddenly panicked.
But at this moment, the rumble of war drums suddenly sounded outside the pass.
Bai Huwen and Zhi Wudai came to the tent and said, "Guan Wei, Cao's army has already arrived at the city and is fighting outside the city. What is Guan Wei's plan?"
At this time, Deng Tong was a little at a loss.
"Hurry up and fight, hurry up and fight!"
"slow!"
Zhi Wudai suddenly stopped Deng Tong and said softly: "Cao's army is at its peak, and we must not touch its edge.
I have a plan to defeat Cao's army.
But we still need Guan Lieutenant’s cooperation..."
Deng Tong quickly asked: "What's your plan?"
Bai Huwen couldn't help but reveal a hint of ridicule.
How arrogant he was in the day, will he wither now? He is indeed a boy who doesn't know the heights of the sky. If Cao Peng doesn't move, it will be like a violent storm, unstoppable. But I don't know what good solution Lao Dai has?"
"I, the Vine Armor Soldier, am currently on the west bank of Baishui, unknown to anyone.
I immediately sent someone to notify them and ordered them to cross the river at night. It is raining lightly now, so Cao Jun will not be able to fight for long. He has come a long way and has experienced a big battle, so he must be exhausted and exhausted.
In the middle of the night, the young master raised a fire as a signal at the top of the city.
I attack from the west bank of Baishui. If we cooperate internally and externally, we can defeat Cao's army in one fell swoop and achieve a complete victory."
Deng Tong was overjoyed when he heard this.
"What the king said is absolutely true, so we will act according to the plan."
But Bai Huwen felt a little worried in his heart.
He vaguely felt that Cao Peng might not be so easy to deal with. According to Bai Huwen's understanding of Cao Peng, if this man used troops, he would definitely plan a chain, one link after another. Moreover, Cao Peng was the best at surprise attacks, how could he?
Perhaps he was unprepared? It would be difficult to attack Cao Jun in a sneak attack... But when he thought about the ferocity of the three thousand vine-armed soldiers in Zhi Wudai's hands, Bai Huwen felt a little more confident. Maybe he could succeed immediately?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It was night, and it was raining heavily.
On the Bailong River, water mist fills the air.
It was almost midnight, and both sides of the Bailong River were silent.
In the mist and rain, from the west bank of the river, dense crowds of people came slowly. There were no boats, but those people were sitting cross-legged on the water. Wearing animal skin armor and bamboo hats, they looked like ghosts.
If someone is on the shore at this time, they will definitely feel chilly.
There were many ghosts, like a group of water ghosts emerging from the river, approaching silently.
After crossing the Bailong River, these people stood up on the shore. They picked up pieces of armor from under their bodies and quickly put them on. Then they held sharp bamboo spears and marched in formation. When the large group of people completely crossed the Bailong River, the drizzle stopped.
.
The leader of the ghost soldier is a steel sword.
He raised his knife and pointed in the direction of Baishui Pass. The ghost soldiers moved quickly, walking across the ground like ghosts, stepping on the muddy path, but they did not make any sound under their feet, which made people jump with fear.
Suddenly, there was a rapid bang.
From the dense forests on both sides, rows of rockets flew out, roaring towards them.
After the rocket hit the ghost soldier, the ghost soldier immediately burst into flames. Immediately afterwards, a loud voice came from the dense forest, "Don't let anyone go, kill without mercy!"
Groups of Cao's troops roared out.
However, everyone held a clay pot in their hands, and when they were still more than ten steps away from the ghost soldiers, they smashed it out. The kerosene in the clay pot instantly flowed all over the body. The rockets roared, and the ghost soldiers were
The rattan armor was originally afraid of fire, and with the addition of these clay pots, it could no longer be extinguished... The rattan armor soldiers turned into burning men one by one, and screamed miserably in the raging flames.
A group of cavalry came out of the forest.
Cao Peng sits astride a liger in the middle, with Dianman and Xu Yi on both sides.
"I knew a long time ago that these Southern Barbarians would repeat their old tricks, but I didn't know that they would not be able to use the same tactics a second time."
Dianman said in surprise: "Afu, how did you know these people are afraid of fire?"
"Second brother, have you forgotten?
My subordinates are not from Xichuan, so I asked around. Someone has heard of these barbarians, named Nanzhong Tengjia soldiers. Their armor is made from century-old wild vines soaked in tung oil. This kind of vine armor is invulnerable and will be invulnerable to enemies.
It does not sink in water and can bear a weight of 300 kilograms. The only drawback is that it is afraid of fire...
Just imagine, among the five elements, fire overcomes wood.
Even if the wild vine is a thousand years old, it is still a tree of five elements, so how can it not be afraid of the flames?"
In the distance, shouts of killing came from the direction of Baishui Pass.
It was vague and seemed extremely intense.
Xu Yi smiled and said: "Now, they are stealing the chicken but losing the rice... They wanted to make a sneak attack, but they were ambushed by us. Once the Tengjia soldiers left, Baishui Pass was no longer a concern. Presumably at this time, General Han Sheng and Zilong
General, you are having a great time killing."
Cao Peng heard this and laughed immediately.
After finding out the identity of the Tengjia soldiers, Cao Peng was no longer afraid.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he had a vivid memory of the scene where Zhuge Liang burned the vine-armored soldiers. The only thing he was worried about was that the vine-armored soldiers came and went without a trace, making it extremely difficult to catch the traces. Only by luring the snakes out of their holes and letting them come out on their own could they be eliminated in one fell swoop.
If this vine-armored soldier cannot be eliminated, it will eventually become a thorn in his side.
After much thought, Cao Peng used Huang Zhong as bait to attack Baishui Pass.
Guo Huai came up with a plan, "Since General Han Sheng attacks, Baishui Pass may be difficult to resist.
When the time comes, there's no telling that those barbarians will repeat their old trick and release the vine-armored soldiers. Why don't you, sir, use this trick and lure the vine-armored soldiers out of the cave? When the vine-armored soldiers come out, we can attack and kill them in one fell swoop, and then the troubles in our heart will be gone."
Cao Peng readily agreed.
He took Huang Zhong and Zhao Quyun as the vanguard and Guo Huai as the long history. He joined the military and marched to Baishui Pass.
Then he lay in ambush at the ferry closest to Baishui Pass, waiting for the vine armor soldiers to appear. Sure enough, after the Nanman succeeded once, he seemed to be addicted and actually attacked again. Cao Peng easily eliminated the vine armor soldiers. After dawn,
He supervised the army and marched to the gate of Baishui Pass.
The Vine Armor Soldier sounds very powerful.
What is invulnerable and unsinkable when exposed to water...
But in Cao Peng's opinion, it's useless. If you can't solve the shortcoming of being afraid of fire, it's nothing to worry about.
In comparison, Cao Peng paid more attention to the useless flying army in his hands.
Deng Tong stood at Baishui Pass, his face as pale as dirt.
There was a sneak attack last night, but the losses were heavy.
Among Cao's troops were Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Han De, Sun Shao, and others who participated in the battle. No matter which one of them, he was considered a strong general. He failed to steal the camp and was ambushed instead. Among the more than 20 generals led by Deng Tong, except for the five brothers Deng Hu
In addition to dying in battle, he came back from camp last night. When he took stock, he found that more than half of the damage was broken. And there was no news about Zhi without a watch, which meant that it was more likely to be bad. He stood at Baishui Pass, looking at the densely packed Cao army under the gate, and couldn't help but feel
Feeling cold all over the body.
And Bai Huwen also felt frightened.
Since Zhi Wudai has not returned yet, he must have failed...
The proud Tengjia soldiers were so easily defeated by Cao Peng! Bai Huwen didn't know why, but the scene of Liangzhou's defeat at the hands of Cao Peng came to mind again. Could it be that this Cao Peng is really my nemesis?
?
Bai Huwen secretly glanced at Deng Tong, feeling a hint of disdain in his heart.
Yesterday I was arrogant, but now I am as timid as a mouse.
How can such a person take on such a big responsibility?
If you didn't have a good old man, I might even be worse than a dog!
The two of them stood at the critical moment, with deep fears in their hearts and their own thoughts.
Suddenly, I heard the rumble of war drums in the camp of Cao's army below the city. The three-way war drums ended, and a young general rushed out of the formation on horseback.
Deng Tong knew the man on horseback.
His name is Zhang Hu, he has a superb spear, and his killing skills are brave.
Zhang Hu reined in his horse at the pass and pointed his gun at the top of the city. "The people of Baishui Pass are listening. I will give you one hour to surrender."
After an hour, as soon as the army moves, they will be killed without mercy."
The arrogance and arrogance made Deng Tong furious.
He opened his mouth to scold him, but Zhang Huli ignored him. After speaking, he turned his horse and left.
Immediately afterwards, there was a rush of activity in front of Cao's army. Strange-shaped ballistas were arranged neatly in front of the army's formation.
"what is that?"
"Big crossbow."
"Why does it look weird?"
"God knows, it's the first time I've seen it too."
Deng Tong and Bai Qi Huwen couldn't understand how Cao Jun had any idea, so they decided to stand still.
An hour passed quickly.
Just when Deng Tong and Bai Qi Huwen were extremely nervous, they suddenly heard the battle drums of Cao's army outside Baishui Pass rang again. Cao's army's formation was as majestic as Mount Tai, motionless. More than two hundred and eight oxen crossbows were fired at the same time, and each gun and spear roared and fired.
He came out and flew towards Baishui Pass. He was so frightened that Deng Tong and Bai Huwen hurriedly shrank their heads to avoid, but heard a scream. A Shu soldier was shot in half by a spear from the waist, and his upper body fell to the ground.
In a pool of blood, half of his body was still standing on the ground. The ground was dyed red with blood...
Peng, Peng, Peng!
Standing on the top of the city, you can clearly feel that the wall is shaking violently.
The large banner that was standing on the key was broken into two pieces by spears and fell to the ground.
The officers and soldiers of the Shu army did not dare to raise their heads at all. Under the female wall where they were, all of them looked pale and frightened.
After three rounds of ejection, the sound of war drums stopped in Cao's camp.
Deng Tong and Bai Huwen cautiously poked their heads out and looked at the city wall. They saw spears and spears sinking into the city wall, causing cracks in the city wall. If the wall of Baishuiguan had not been so thick, these rounds of bombardment would not have been possible.
Then the city wall collapsed. Deng Tong and Bai Huwen looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
At this time, another young man rushed out of the formation.
"This is Sun Shao, the cavalry commander of the General Zhengxi. By order of the General, I would like to warn you again...
You barbarians don't know how powerful the heavenly army is.
I would like to warn you now. If you don't make a decision before dark, the city of Baishui Pass will be destroyed! By then, no chickens or dogs will be left in Baishui Pass! Where do you want to go? Make plans in advance to avoid making mistakes and ruining your life.
"
After saying that, Sun Shao turned his horse and left just like Zhang Hu did before.
But at Baishui Pass, Deng Tong and Bai Qi Huwen looked at each other.
"Cao's army is powerful and cannot be defeated."
"Exactly...the current plan is to hold on and at the same time send people to Jiameng Pass to ask for help from the military advisor."
Bai Huwen nodded repeatedly, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.
What he means is surrender!
But looking at Deng Tong's intention, it seems that he wants to continue to resist. Bai Huwen suddenly had murderous intention in his heart. If you want to die, don't implicate me. However, Deng Tong is powerful at Baishui Pass, and Bai Huwen
He didn't dare to act rashly. He had a smile on his face, but in his heart, he already had other concerns.
