Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 909

Cui Liang, the prefect, was killed, and Hu Zun, the guard, was captured alive. The officials of Anding County surrendered with Yang Ling, and refugees from Yinpan County came forward to appease them. The order in Linjing soon became stable. Set up a porridge shop for relief.

Zhao Yun then asked people to go out to Anmin, promising that the emperor of the Han Dynasty would treat the people well, and that Anding County would soon live a good life, and the days of being exploited by Cao Wei would never return.

Before the Han army sent troops to Xiaoguan, Zhao Yun sent messengers to Chang'an to report victory, and at the same time asked Liu Bei to select and send officials to take up the post. Zhao Yun's people wanted to continue to pursue Cao Zhen and Zhang He, so they could only temporarily use the old officials in the county to govern.

Three days after capturing Linjing, a cavalry force of less than 3000 men appeared outside Xiaoguan in the northwest. The important barrier to the north is also the north gate of Chang'an.

Xiaoguan, Dashanguan, Wuguan, and Tongguan (formerly Hanguguan) are called the four passes in Guanzhong. The main function of North Xiaoguan is to guard against nomadic peoples on the northern grasslands and Hexi Corridor.

The reason why Fazheng was willing to bet against Pang Tongsai was mainly because the terrain from Xiaoguan to Saishang and Hexi in the north was relatively flat, while the Longyou, Jincheng, and Wuwei lines chosen by Zhang Fei and Ma Chao needed to bypass the high mountains and valleys of the West Qinling Mountains. Even if there is no heavy defense, it is difficult to march. Since ancient times, it has not been the main line of alien invasion. Zhang Fei tried his best to leave Deng Ai not for the purpose of farming, but for Deng Ai's crossing of Micang Mountain and Ziwuling. He seems to be very good at finding his way across mountains and ridges. .

Yang Ling arrived outside Xiaoguan in the morning, the early winter sun had not yet entered the valley, and the mountains on both sides of the valley were misty, and Zhao Yun's rear army was lying in ambush two or three miles away.

The right time, the right location, and the harmony of people, it seems that all three are available.

Pi General Chun Yuye obeyed Zhang He's strict order, not daring to open the city gate without authorization. When he saw Yang Ling leading the army to the front of the pass, he hurriedly sent someone to invite Zhang He.

"General Chunyu, what do you mean? Treat me, Yang Ling, as a spy?" Yang Ling grabbed the reins and asked.

"Don't blame General Yang. General Zhang dare not disobey orders. Please wait patiently for a while." Chunyuye clasped his fists and explained.

Yang Ling snorted coldly: "After the cover army was cut off, I was now treated as a spy. When I saw General Zidan, I would definitely report the truth."

"Uh, don't be impatient, I'll invite you personally." Chun Yuye didn't want to listen to Yang Ling's criticisms, so he hurriedly made an excuse to welcome Zhang Yun to leave the city.

A row of tents was set up behind the pass, Chunyuye walked down the city wall, rode his horse and ran towards the main tent, halfway he saw Zhang He riding a horse, moving slowly in his direction.

Chun Yuye lashed the horse with his whip, and quickly stepped forward to call the general and saluted with fists together.

"I heard that Yang Ling is here? They have only guarded Linjing for a few days?" Zhang He asked as he walked.

Chun Yuye nodded and replied: "Hu Zun beheaded Cui Taishou in Linjing and surrendered to Zhao Yun. General Yang and Wei generals were unwilling to surrender, so they escaped from the north gate while Linjing was in chaos. 2000 people, I didn't see that General Yang's commanding ability is good, and under such a declining situation, he can bring out so many soldiers."

After hearing this, Zhang He felt a little proud. The Hu family itself is a stable and prominent family. Hu Zun may not be willing to leave his hometown and flee to Wuwei, which is farther away. Zhang He suggested Cao Zhen to change people before retreating. Relying on it, he was sure that the other party would not betray Wei, but the reality slapped him severely.

"Most of the family members of Anding soldiers are in the Central Plains, so naturally they will not surrender easily to the enemy. After all, Yang Ling has worked with Cui Liang for many years. How can he obey Hu Zun when the county guard is killed? With these more than 2000 soldiers added, Xiao Guan will be able to Stay here for a while longer, go and open the door to welcome them in, Yang Ling and the others must have been frightened, so remember to comfort them with kind words." Zhang He stroked his beard and waved his hand lightly, thinking that he was unfortunately a foreign minister, if his surname was Cao or Xiahou, Yong Cool doesn't get this bad.

"Wei." Chunyuye accepted the order with cupped fists, and quickly ran towards the closed door.

Zhang He then urged his horse forward, and when he was about to reach the pass, he saw Yang Ling leading his army slowly into the city, but the Wei soldiers behind him were in good spirits, and they didn't seem to be running for their lives at all.

Something is wrong, could it be fraudulent?
Zhang Yun frowned and clenched his spear tightly, and ran straight towards Yang Ling. After Chunyuye opened the door and said a few good words, Yang Ling's resentment just now dissipated. Seeing Zhang Yun coming to greet him in person, he clasped his fists and smiled and went forward to say hello: "General Zhang You are so cautious, with General Chunyu guarding the gate for you, how can there be a fine work to enter the gate?"

"Hehe, I underestimated this general in the past. General Yang is a really talented general. You fled from Linjing to Xiaoguan for a day, but the soldiers were still full of energy. General Zidan treated Hu Yidao really well, leaving behind so many The horses are here for you." Zhang He said while watching Yang Ling's expression.

Yang Ling was very calm in front of Chun Yuye, but Zhang He was an old fox in the Wei army, and he felt guilty when he was looked at like this by the other party. When he saw the other party questioning him, he replied hesitantly: "Maybe it's for the ease of retreating."

"Oh? So that's how it is." Zhang He first nodded lightly, stroking his beard, and suddenly shouted at Chun Yuye: "Shut the city gate quickly, Yang Ling is a spy for rebelling against Wei."

Chun Yuye:? ? ?

Yang Ling:? ? ?
"General Zhang, you..." Yang Ling was about to refute, when he saw that Zhang Yun was not joking at all, the other party suddenly charged forward with a gun, he turned his horse's head in panic, but forgot that there were all Huang Zhong's cavalry behind him.

Zhang He picked up his long spear and stabbed it directly through Yang Ling's back. He felt that he had killed the traitor, but when he was about to stabilize the situation, there was a voice in the tunnel that made him terrified.

"Son Zhang He, I will take your life today."

Huang Zhong's voice rang like a death knell, and at the same time as he shouted, a horse path was made in the corridor, and the endless oppressive force was released from the corridor.

Zhang Yun didn't care about going to Xiaoguan at this time, and immediately turned his horse's head and retreated backward.

"General. Wait."

Chun Yuye's reaction was a step slow, and Huang Zhong, who came on a flying horse, raised his knife and fell directly to the city.

The two generals ran and died, and there was chaos inside and outside Xiaoguan. The cavalry of the Han army rushed into the pass. Except for a small number of soldiers guarding the city gate waiting for Zhao Yun's rear army, the rest of the cavalry followed Huang Zhong to pursue Zhang He.

Because Zhang He withdrew too hastily, he only gathered more than a thousand cavalry and fled northward along the way, leaving the remaining three or four thousand Wei soldiers at Xiaoguan, messy like fallen leaves in the cold wind.

Huang Zhong pursued him relentlessly, with the attitude of being ambitious and sure to win, Zhang Yun could only run northward exhaustedly.

Xiao Guan ran ten li to the north, which was Gaoping (Guyuan), the last big city before the Great Wall, but Zhang Yun was worried that he would be wiped out by the siege army, so he didn't dare to lead his troops into the city, so he could only rush northward along the Qingshui River.

Zhang He originally thought that Huang Zhong would go to the city to rest and would not go out with him unprepared, but he didn't expect that the other party was like eating a weight, and it seemed that he would not give up until he chased him.

Seeing this, Zhang He wanted to cry, but he said to himself, did I dig your ancestral grave?Is it too late to die at such an old age?
