    In a moment of joy, I climbed over several mountain peaks. The heavy rain flooded the dense forest and turned it into a swamp.

    The next day, when Yan Liang woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

    Zhu Rong is lying on her left side, and the flower wand is lying on her right side. The two sleeping people have unfinished love on their beautiful faces.

    A proud smile appeared at the corner of Yan Liang's lips. He stood up in high spirits and jumped out of bed.

    Yan Liang, who was dressed neatly and proud of the spring breeze, went out of the tent.

    After enjoying the gentle village, there are more people outside, waiting for him to ravage.

    Hearing the sound of footsteps receding, Yan Liangren was gone. Only then did Zhu Rong open his eyes, his slightly red and swollen lips moved slightly, and he breathed out softly.

    In fact, she had already woken up, and she was just pretending to sleep.

    After the excitement last night, Zhu Rong could not calm down for a long time.

    Because the woman who was serving him was not someone else, but her daughter.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbOUT away all the ugliness and misfortune I faced, all were seen by Hua Wan last night.

    Zhu Rong knew that as a mother, the last bit of beauty left in her daughter's mind had been torn to pieces.

    Zhu Rong felt ashamed and couldn't calm down for a long time, so how could he fall asleep.

    Just as Zhu Rong sighed, the flower wand on the other side of the pillow also opened his eyes.

    Mother and daughter looked at each other.

    Suddenly, Zhu Rong felt as if time had frozen.

    To Zhu Rong, his daughter's clear eyes were like knives.  It hurt Zhu Rong's heart deeply.

    Those endless shameful things happened like a tide in the blink of an eye.

    In shame, Zhu Rong hurriedly moved his eyes away.  He didn't dare to look at his daughter.

    At the same time, she quickly pulled the quilt up to cover her naked shoulders and arms, fearing that her daughter would see her disheveled appearance.

    But at this moment, Hua Wan smiled faintly, stretched out her lotus-like arms, and gently placed her delicate hands on her mother's shoulders.

    "Mother. All of this is destiny. We are destined to serve Da Sima together. Mother does not need to feel ashamed at all. My daughter does not look down on her at all."

    Hua Wan¡¯s comforting words were like a ray of spring breeze, blowing away the haze in Zhu Rong¡¯s heart.

    The shame gradually disappeared from her heart.  Gradually I settled down.

    ??Sighed lightly.  Zhu Rong turned around, stretched out his arms, and took Hua Wan into his arms.

    The mother and daughter, who shared the same pillow, hugged each other tightly, and a look of relief quietly passed over Zhu Rong's charming face.

    Of course Yan Liang didn¡¯t know that the Nanyi mother and daughter had put aside their worries.  He didn't even bother to know.

    After a moment of pleasure, Yan Liang lost all his energy.  They have all gathered to the north to take Hanzhong.

    After the army rested for three days, Yan Liang personally led the army from Baishui Pass to the north and rushed towards Hanzhong in a mighty manner.

    The gateway to Hanzhong lies at Yangping Pass, so Yan Liang¡¯s focus in taking Hanzhong from the north is also to break through Yangping Pass.

    A few days later, the 70,000-strong army commanded by Yan Liang arrived west of Yangping Pass.

    The garrison has been completed. In the Chinese army's tent, Yan Liang summoned all the civil and military personnel to discuss how to break the barrier.

    According to the reconnaissance intelligence, Xiahou Yuan was already ready for the battle at this time and had re-deployed the 40,000 Cao troops in Hanzhong.

    Regarding Yangping Pass, Xiahou Yuan personally took charge and commanded 20,000 troops to guard the pass.

    In Wuxing City, which is more than 20 miles north of Yangping Pass, Xiahou Yuan ordered Xu Huang to lead 10,000 troops to station there, forming a horn with Yangping Pass to defend Chencang in the north.

    As for Wudu County to the west of Yangping Pass, Cao Cao led Cao Zhen to lead an army of 10,000 troops and stationed them at Wudu County to maintain smooth communication between Longyou and Han.

    Generally speaking, Xia Houyuan has built a defense system with Yangping Pass as the center and forming horns with each other.

    After reading the scouts' intelligence, Yan Liang's eyes fell on the counselors and asked: "The defense situation in Hanzhong is like this. What do you think?"

    "It is thought that before attacking Yangping Pass, our army should first capture Wuxing in the north, attack Xiabian in the west, cut off the grain road from Guanlong to Hanzhong, and then attack Yangping Pass."

    Fazheng, who was familiar with the terrain, revealed his strategy without hesitation.

    Yan Liang nodded slightly, convinced of the Fa Zheng strategy.

    In the previous period, Cao Cao gathered more than 100,000 troops in Hanzhong, which consumed a lot of food. In fact, he had already gathered Zhang Lu's troops in Hanzhong for many years.Most of the food and grass are consumed.

    The total population of Hanzhong is only more than 200,000. According to the ratio of civilians to soldiers of 10:1, in fact, it can only support an army of 20,000 to 30,000 at most.

    The number of Cao's troops in Hanzhong now is 40,000, and the food of one county in Hanzhong is simply not enough to support them.

    Therefore, most of the military rations needed by Hanzhong must be transported from Guanlong.

    Because the three valley roads of Xiegu, Baogu and Ziwugu have difficult terrain and are not conducive to transportation, most of the grain and grass from Guanzhong was transported southward from Chencang through Dashan Pass to Yangping Pass and then to Hanzhong.

    ???????????? Most of the grain and grass from the Longyou counties were transported from Qishan via Wudu County to Yangpingguan from the west.

    Although these two roads are relatively far away from Chang'an, they are the main grain roads in Hanzhong because of the relatively wide and flat terrain.

    Fazheng's strategy was to attack Wuxing in the north and Xiabian in the west, and first cut off the food road in Hanzhong. If the food road was blocked, the morale of Cao's army in Hanzhong would be in chaos. At that time, Yan Liang could attack Yangping again, which would get twice the result with half the effort.

    Although Yan Liang did not know the terrain of Hanzhong as well as Fazheng, he was familiar with history and remembered that in history, Liu Bei used the same trick when he captured Hanzhong.

    Now that Fazheng has proposed this strategy, there is no reason why Yan Liang should not follow it.

    Now that the plan has been decided, Yan Liang ordered Shu generals Zhang Ren, Wu Lan, and Lei Tong to lead 20,000 troops to attack Xiabian, and ordered Li Yan and Zhu Huan to lead 10,000 troops to attack Wuxing.

    Yan Liang himself led 40,000 troops and stationed troops west of Yangping Pass, forming an oppressive force on Xiahou Yuan, making him dare not divide his troops to rescue other places.

    The military order has been issued, and all armies are about to set off, each acting according to his plan.

    It was almost autumn at this time, and the weather was cool, which was perfect weather for fighting.

    After the defeat of Cao Cao in the previous campaign, the morale of Yan Jun's soldiers was high.  Everyone is brave and strives to make meritorious deeds.

    Not long after Zhang Ren's troops arrived at Xiabian, they immediately defeated Cao Zhen's camp outside the city.  Cao Zhen was forced to defend Xiaben City and fell into a passive defense situation.

    Xu Huang of Wuxing City, facing the fierce attack of Li Yan and Zhu Huan, could only hold on to the camp and did not dare to fight.

    Two groups of soldiers and horses attacked Ban Yue. Although they failed to defeat Cao Jun, they overwhelmed Cao Jun in terms of momentum.

    And at the same time.  Because Cao's army could not force back the fiercely attacking Yan's army, Guanlong's grain and grass could not be successfully transported south to Hanzhong after October.  Xia Houyuan's Hanzhong Army Corps was already running out of food and grass.

    Under this unfavorable situation, Xiahou Yuan had no choice but to send people to Chang'an to ask Cao Cao for assistance.

    At this time, Cao Cao was still bedridden.  Since he was unable to come to rescue Xia Houyuan in person.  They had to send two generals, Guo Huai and Du Xi, to lead an army of 10,000 to reinforce Hanzhong. On the other hand, they ordered the grain and grass transported to Hanzhong to be transported southward through Xiegu.

    Although this arrangement temporarily alleviated Xia Houyuan's unfavorable situation, due to the difficult terrain of the sloping valley, six to seven tenths of the grain and grass transported were consumed on the road, resulting in a shortage of grain and grass in Hanzhong.  Still no fundamental change has been achieved.

    In Chang'an.

    All kinds of unfavorable information about Xiabian, Wuxing and Yangpingguan flew to Chang'an like snowflakes.

    Every unfavorable battle report.  It was like adding salt to Cao Cao's wounds, causing Cao Cao a headache.

    At this time, Cao Cao seemed to have begun to realize that he should not have rashly launched a war against Yan Liang after capturing Hanzhong, but should have focused his main energy on improving Hanzhong's defense system.

    " If that's the case, Baishui Pass and other dangers are in Cao Cao's hands. Cao Cao only needs more than ten thousand troops to guard Baishui Pass to prevent Yan Liang from advancing northward.

    Then, the situation in Hanzhong will not put him in such a dilemma.

    Without the quagmire of Hanzhong, at this time, he might be able to raise troops to march eastward and find profit points from the war between Yuan Tan and Liu Bei.

    Because, at this time, Cao Cao had deeply felt that Yan Liang, an arrogant common man, was far more difficult to deal with than Liu Bei, a hypocrite.

    After weighing for a long time, Cao Cao, on the advice of Guo Jia and others, ordered more than 200,000 people in Hanzhong to be gradually moved to Guanzhong.

    The Prime Minister's Order was introduced to Hanzhong, and the Hanzhong people who had lived here for generations were forced to leave their homes and cross the Qinling Mountains, driven by the county soldiers, and were forced to go to Guanzhong.

    Such a large-scale immigration naturally cannot be hidden from Yan Liang's eyes and ears. If there is any movement in Hanzhong, Yan Liang will receive the news.

    Yan Liang immediately realized that this was a negative signal sent by Cao Cao, showing that he was not confident enough to defend Hanzhong. Such a move would definitely have a great impact on the morale of the army.

    Pang Tong and other counselors also grasped this point keenly and immediately suggested that Yan Liang take advantage of this opportunity to launch a general attack on Yangping Pass.Having stationed soldiers at the pass for a long time and recuperating their strength, Yan Liang then issued an order to launch a fierce attack on Yangping Pass with an army of 40,000.

    Yangpingguan, Hujun Mansion.

    In the simple furnished hall, Xia Houyuan stared at the silk book in his hand, his stern face showing resentment, and he secretly gritted his teeth.

    "Yuan is incompetent and can't repel the Yan thief, so the prime minister came up with this plan." After biting for a long time, Xiahou Yuan sighed.

    "Second uncle, dinner is ready. Second uncle, please use some while it's hot." Footsteps sounded, and a young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old with delicate features walked into the hall.

    The girl's name was Xia Houjuan. She was originally Xia Houyuan's niece. Because her father died in the war, Xia Houyuan adopted her. Seeing that the girl was well-behaved and smart, he kept her with him to fetch water, cook meals and take care of himself.  daily life.

    Xia Houyuan glanced at the food, then waved his hand and said, "I don't have any appetite, so please take it all away."

    "Juan sees that the second uncle's face is not good. Could it be that there is something difficult in the army that worries the second uncle?" Xia Houjuan asked thoughtfully.

    Xia Houyuan sighed, and then showed Cao Cao's order to move the people to Hanzhong to his niece.

    Xia Houjuan looked at it and frowned slightly: "The Prime Minister ordered the people who moved Hanzhong to Guanzhong. Isn't this a hint to the soldiers that the Prime Minister is not confident enough to defend Hanzhong? Isn't this damaging the morale of the army?"

    Xiahou Juan has been with Xiahou Yuan for a long time. He has seen a lot of the world and has some knowledge.

    ??

    "It's that Yan Liang dog thief again. My niece only wishes she wasn't a man, otherwise she could go into battle for her second uncle and kill the dog thief with her own hands."
