The Three Kingdoms began with the rescue of Mrs. Mi

Chapter 163 Cao Cao is coming to steal his daughter-in-law

Accompanied by Zhang Qiying and Yang Ang, Liu Feng rushed to Yangping pass without stopping.

He had to be anxious, Zhang Lu had a weak will to resist. Historically, when Yangping Pass was lost, Zhang Lu immediately wanted to surrender to Cao Cao. Not long after he fled to Brazil County, Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao Cao.

During this period, counselor Yan Pu persuaded Zhang Lu to defect to Liu Bei, but Zhang Lu refused without thinking.

In Zhang Lu's view, Liu Bei's strength is still a bit weaker than Cao Cao, who sits in the Central Plains and coerces the emperor to command the princes. He is a majestic Hanning prefect, and if he wants to surrender, he must surrender to the emperor, not a separatist force like Liu Bei.

Along the way, Zhang Qiying found a gap, and finally had the opportunity to ask Liu Feng for advice on the true Taoism, which made Liu Feng, who was half-baked, feel both happy and troubled.

Fortunately, the beautiful girl in Taoist robes is really eye-catching, with the innocence of a schoolgirl, which makes Liu Feng always have the urge to face the "milk tea girl".

What bothers me is that a female scholar like Zhang Qiying who is dedicated to studying looks good, but in fact she is difficult to get along with. If she has no real skills, she will look down on her.

"I once heard my teacher say that Taoism has thirty-six cave heavens and seventy-two blessed lands, saying: There is a small sky of purity and emptiness, a great sky of emptiness, a sky of total truth in Taiyuan, and a sky of extreme truth in three elements. , Heaven of the Nine Chambers of the Precious Immortal..."

"Among them: the heaven of the total truth of Taiyuan is in Zhongnan, which is the place where Zhang Shijun practiced; the heaven of the nine rooms of Baoxian is in Qingcheng, Shu County. It is rumored that there is a fairy master Li A who lives in seclusion on this mountain. "Number of volumes..."

Liu Fengfeng had no choice but to throw out a little knowledge of Taoism that he had learned from Baidu's practice to a female Taoist friend who was chasing after him fiercely. , really fit Zhang Qiying's mind.

"Qingcheng, Shu County, the Nine Chambers of the Precious Immortal, if one day I inherit the "Alchemy Classic" written by Master Li Xianshi and open up a sect, then I will be the Supreme True Immortal, the Supreme Virgin!"

Zhang Qiying has studied Taoism since she was a child, and she has been immersed in it for too long. After being fooled by Liu Feng, she developed a different idea of ​​self-reliance.

If he could lead the crowd to Qingcheng and establish another sect in Qingcheng, then in time, Zhang Qiying would be the patriarch of the sect, and his status would be no different from that of Zhang Lu today.

When Liu Feng arrived at the pass, he saw that among the mountains, there were continuous cities and docks, and believers with their heads wrapped in Ubud were carrying stones, wood and other luggage from the foot of the mountain under the command of sacrificial wine at all levels.

Judging from their numb expressions, these believers don't care about who wins and who loses. What they really care about is the Mishe located beside the road, where they can provide food to wrap their stomachs.

Zhang Qiying saw Liu Feng staring at the disciples who were carrying heavy loads, and said embarrassedly: "Reverend Yuan Tong, there is no manpower to defend Cao's bandits, so Master ordered all the disciples to contribute their strength."

Liu Feng waved his hand, interrupted Zhang Qiying's words as he walked, and said: "The battle between the two armies is imminent, and I will be General Pingxi under General Zuo's command to lead the troops to help. So, please call me Liu Feng, or General Liu , Today's battle is a battle for the life and death of Hanzhong Tianshijiao, and we should help each other in the same boat to preserve the Daoist land of Hanzhong."

"General Liu, from now on, please also call me Zhang Min, real Qiying, by the name of real person Qiying, and I will call it later when I talk about the true meaning of the Tao." Zhang Qiying was moved by Liu Feng's words, and his eyes were a little moist.

Wang Yi was at the side, watching Liu Feng not forgetting to debate the truth with female Taoist friends in battle, he couldn't help admiring, some people are born with such an ability to be familiar with each other, as long as they are mentioned a little, they can chat together.

Cao and Zhang confronted each other.

In this attack on Hanzhong, Cao Cao used Xia Houyuan's flying army as the vanguard, and rushed eastward from Liangzhou all the way, just to catch Zhang Lu by surprise.

Fortunately, Zhang Wei was quite experienced in using troops, and he set up a city dock on the pass early on. When Xia Houyuan arrived, the two armies collided with each other, and there was a lot of shouting and killing.

After four days of fierce fighting, Cao Cao personally led the army from Guanzhong. After joining Xia Houyuan, Cao Cao's total force reached nearly [-], and he claimed to have [-] troops, including [-] elite troops.

In comparison, there are only [-] religious households under Zhang Lu's rule, and if there are four people in each family, there are about [-] people. If the old, weak, women and children are excluded, the number of religious people that can be sent is about [-].

There was a huge gap in strength between the two sides. Zhang Wei had about [-] teaching soldiers and ghost soldiers. If he wanted to compete with Cao Jun, there was only one stupid move, which was to defend against danger.

As for how long Zhang Wei can guard, no one can tell.

Cao's army camp.

Cao Cao arrived at Yangping Pass only an hour earlier than Liu Feng.

This raid on Hanzhong, Cao Cao also led enough elite soldiers and strong generals. Su Ze, a native of Guanzhong, was taken by Cao Cao as his guide, and Zhang Ji, the governor of Yongzhou, joined the army and advised Cao Cao.

As for the generals, famous generals such as Xia Houyuan, Zhang He, and Xu Huang were all on the list. Among the partial generals, there were also Han and Qiang generals such as Gao Zuo, Fei Yao, and Qu Yan.

In addition, Cao Cao also took Cao Yu, the son born to Mrs. Huan, with him. Cao Yu was Cao Chong's brother, born of the same mother. Cao Cao took him with him, and sometimes missed Cao Chong's meaning.

Cao Cao was already in his sixties, and suffered from frequent migraines, which caused him great pain. On the issue of successor, Cao Cao was once optimistic about Cao Chong, but it was a pity that he died young, which made Cao Cao heartbroken.

In the barracks, Cao Jun’s generals and advisers gathered. Cao Cao’s face turned dark, which was caused by lack of sleep. Fortunately, the victory was in sight, and Cao Cao was still in good spirits. He sat in the middle, looked around, full of pride.

"Miaocai, tell me, how is the battle at Yangping Pass?" Cao Cao stroked his beard under his chin, cast approving glances at Xia Houyuan, and asked each other.

Xia Houyuan and Cao Cao are not only relatives by marriage for generations, but also his wife is the natal family of Cao Cao's mother, Mrs. Ding.

"King Wei, Zhang Wei, the rice thief, built several cities and docks on the pass. If our army wants to take the pass, we must first attack the pass. If we climb the mountain and attack upwards, the casualties will be too great. Therefore, the final general thinks that it is better Suspend the urgent attack, send envoys to Nanzheng, and persuade Zhang Lu to surrender voluntarily, so that our army can take Hanzhong without bloodshed, and provide convenience for the next step to take Bashu and attack Liubei."

Xia Houyuan clasped his fists together and remonstrated with Cao Cao. After a series of battles, Xia Houyuan's current military vision and ability gradually showed signs of being the number one general under Cao Cao.

"If you want to talk about Zhang Lu, who can be the envoy, and what conditions can make Zhang Lu surrender to me at ease." Cao Cao looked at the counselors under his command and asked.

Zhang Ji, the governor of Yongzhou, stood up at this moment and said, "King Wei, I heard that Zhang Lu has a daughter who is only eighteen years old. She is beautiful and beautiful, and she is well versed in Taoism. The two families get married, and Zhang Lu's return is just around the corner?"

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard that, and asked, clapping his hands, "De Rong, tell me, which one of my sons can marry a daughter from the Zhang family?"

Zhang Ji pointed to Cao Yu who was standing next to Cao Cao, and said: "It's far away in the sky, and it's close in front of us. I heard that Peng Zu has not yet married, and his age is about the same as that of Zhang Qiying. If Wei Gong agrees, we can let Su Wenshi be an envoy." , to talk to Nanzheng."

Surprised expression appeared on Cao Yu's face, he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. These days, he had heard about Zhang Qiying's fame and deeds a long time ago. Unexpectedly, one day the pie would fall on his head.
