Gaowu Three Kingdoms: Starting from the Five Dou Rice Religion

Chapter 112 Schedule
That night, Yangping Pass was full of meat fragrance.

Poor those elks, they fought for Lu Jing when they were alive, and they had to fill the stomachs of the soldiers after they died...

Fortunately, Lu Jing didn't kill them all. Except for the casualties, the rest were collected in the pass. It was also designed to prevent Cao Jun from having people who knew the "Beast Gathering Method".

When the news came back to Nanzheng, Zhang Lu and Fan Xuan were of course very happy, but they were also a little worried about Cao Cao's future actions.

This is the overlord of the Central Plains, and his counterattack is bound to be fierce!

The night passed in a blink of an eye.

Cao Cao's army came to Xiahouyuan's vanguard camp and saw the mess everywhere.

——Lu Jing really didn't leave a single deer hair for Cao Jun, only Cao Jun's body was there.

Cao Cao smiled. He had already seen Lu Jing's ability and means from Lu Jing's past - dealing with the enemy by unscrupulous means could make him show mercy to Zhang Yun, Zhu Ling, and Gao Zuo, which was already a manifestation of Zhang Lu and him's willingness to submit, but If you can't take Yangping Pass and Hanzhong this time, and let Zhang Lu strengthen his separatist heart, it will be even more difficult to take this place again!

After laughing, Cao Cao took two generals Xu Chu and Xu Huang to observe the ten-mile stronghold built by Yangping Pass Tianxian and Zhang Weiyi Pass. , the ears of the kingdom of demons!"

He regretted it a little.

Before coming here, the gang of wealthy officials who were newly attached to Liangzhou said that Hanzhong was easy to fight, and Yangping Pass had been in disrepair for a long time, so it was impossible to defend it at all. !

The soldiers and horses in Hanzhong are nothing to worry about, tiger and leopard cavalry can easily push flat, but the terrain is so rugged and dangerous, even though there are elite soldiers and tiger generals, they can't use it!
Not to mention that the pass can still be held firmly, even if there is no Yangping Pass, it is not easy to directly attack Shanbazhai, and the army cannot be deployed!

Needless to say, Yangping Pass is the first of the three passes in Bashu. Since Gongsunshu’s massive renovation, nearly 200 years have passed, and the vigorous vitality of the pass city can still be felt.

This city is not easy to break!

Cao Cao had a headache.

Liu Ye, Jia Xu and other people of insight witnessed the terrain of Guancheng and scolded those idiots in Liangzhou in their hearts. A bunch of trash who have never fought.You give it a try?But there is no way, the army is here, and we can only find a way to break the city. If we don’t take it now, it will be too late when Liu Bei takes Yizhou. Yangping Pass can defend the north, but not the south. Can we fight now? Everyone must fight!

"Lord."

Liu Ye clasped his fists and said, "Yangping Pass is dangerous, and Zhang Wei's camp is strong. It is not advisable to attack by force. It seems that we can only find a way from the defensive formation."

Cao Cao nodded.

Jia Xu said: "The Yangping Pass guard formation is called the [Five Elements Flower and Tree Formation]. According to legend, it was built by Li Xiong, the first national teacher under Gongsun Shu's command in the past, led by 200 talisman formations. Gathering in the city, the thorns that protect the city are born, guarding the gate and killing the enemy is invincible, and it is said that it can withstand a hundred thousand soldiers. Now that [-] years have passed, even if it has been in disrepair for a long time, it may not be broken in a short time..."

The most important thing is that it is difficult for Cao Jun to transfer food and grass, and the road is difficult, but the land in Hanzhong is fertile, there is no shortage of food and grass, and the escort is simple.

The two ebb and flow, Cao Jun can't afford it.

In addition, Cao Cao has become the Duke of Wei, and his desire to be king is clearly revealed. Xudu and Yecheng's old officials are not stable. Sorry.

"The two military divisions mean..."

Cao Hong frowned: "Start with the person who controls the eye of the formation, and control the big formation first?"

Liu Ye and Jia Xu looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Sima Yi, the commander of the army, said: "Who is holding the battle now? It should not be that Lu Dongting."

Lu Jing took the lead in attacking the camp last night, acting like this is not like someone controlling the gate, otherwise if the incident fails, it would be tantamount to handing over Yangping Pass to others, so the gate must be in the hands of an experienced and prudent person in the pass city.

Xu Chu already had the information from the school affairs office, so he took the bait and said, "It should be in Meng Fan's hands. This person is Zhang Luqi's junior brother, Zhang Heng's closed disciple. Although his martial arts level is low, his understanding is good, and he has cultivated into the Tao of Heavenly Master The little-known secret technique "Thunder Shadow Clone" is highly valued by Zhang Lu. Before Ma Chao and others came here to guard the pass, Meng Fan had been sitting in the town, living in seclusion, and even the captain of the refining gods could hardly find him .”

Xu Huang sighed: "It seems that prevention has been done."

"Thunder Shadow Clone" is an advanced application of "Five Thunder Heaven Heart Jue", which can use thunder energy and the resonance of vitality outside the body to create a clone that is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

This kind of secret technique does not have much bonus to the attack. Most disciples will learn "Thunderstorm Walking Step" straight to the point. Few people will bother to learn this fancy fake thing, but this secret technique is a clever trick to deceive people's eyes. Anti-assassination!

This is why Zhang Luneng handed over Yangping Pass to Meng Fan with confidence.

Cao Cao frowned, the situation is really troublesome now, Ma Chao, Zhang Wei and others are stationed outside, and the weak point inside the pass is not afraid of assassination... He stretched out his hand and pressed the magic weapon [Yitian Sword] on his waist, narrowing his eyes, Ruo Wu's sword energy reverberated in the tent.

Everyone thought hard, looking for a solution to the situation.

"My lord, there is one more person available..."

Jia Xu spoke again.

A real top-notch strategist is one who fails to succeed in one plan and makes another plan. He has various insights into people's hearts, can always find the enemy's weaknesses, and help the Lord achieve his wish.

Cao Cao's expression straightened: "What's Wen He's plan?"

Jia Xu respectfully said: "Since there are no flaws inside and outside, it is better to put people's hearts first. Lu Jing and Lu Dongting are not tempted by fame, wealth and wealth, but that doesn't mean that other people can do the same.

I heard that Yang Song, the chief counselor under Zhang Lu, is the patriarch of the Yang clan in Hanzhong. He is greedy for money, forgets righteousness, and is selfish. Then send the assassins of the school office to seize the pass and destroy Hanzhong's defense in one fell swoop! "

Jia Xu didn't say that the eye must be in the hands of Meng Fan, but asked "Zhang Lu's chief counselor" Yang Song to lead out the person who held the eye.

"?!"

A few words are like seeing the sun through the clouds!

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and the killing intent on his body gradually disappeared. Everyone in the big tent understood and breathed a sigh of relief.

Jia Xu deserves to be Jia Xu. He is really a great person when he has insight into the weaknesses of people's hearts.

Cao Cao immediately looked at Xu Chu and asked, "Is Yang Song also outside the city?"

Xu Chu clasped his fists and said, "No, he brought [-] troops to assist Meng Fan to garrison the pass. The [Five Elements Flower and Tree Formation] needs the assistance of the soldiers."

"So, entry is expected!"

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Based on Wenhe's plan, now there are Ma Chao and Zhang Wei outside Yangping Pass, and Lu Jing is bold and careful, and the lobbying in the city still needs to be properly planned."

Cao Hong immediately said: "At the end of the day, Yang An will be recommended to the city to surrender. He has Yang Xiong's family's most precious [Zhuan Tupan], and he can enter the city silently, avoiding the eyes and ears of soldiers and crows. He is eloquent and eloquent. Convince Yang Song to lure Meng Fan out."

Cao Cao nodded and looked at Xu Chu.

Xu Chu continued: "Assassination candidates... At the end of the day, I will recommend the 'four faces' of joy, anger, sorrow and fear. These four are disciples of Zhang Yan. Good at assassination, and familiar with the essentials of peace, knowing himself and the enemy, it will be even more difficult for Lu Jing to find them!"

Cao Cao nodded again: "Very good."

Liu Ye said: "In order to prevent the people of Tianshi Dao from being aware of it, we can send two generals, Pang De and Xu Huang, to lead the army to attack the city to attract attention!"

Sima Yi added: "Lu Jing is not to be underestimated. You can send three more suspicious soldiers into the city, in the name of destroying the five-element flower tree array hub, to help the four faces assassinate and seize the order!"

Cao Cao's subordinates are full of talents, and there are many capable people and strangers. They have sufficient manpower to carry out various arrangements to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

This is incomparable to Lu Jing and the others.

Everyone said a word, a detailed and terrifying plan has been formed.

Cao Cao acted according to the plan, and there was an undercurrent surging in the middle of the night.

……

at the same time.

In Dazhai in front of Yangping Pass, Lu Jing was looking at the topographic map in his tent, trying to figure out where Cao Cao's army might attack.

On the small bed next to her lay Zhang Qiying who was lying in her clothes. She was not asleep yet, her two round eyes were looking at Lu Jing, clear and agile.

In the tents on both sides are Wang Shuang and Hu Cong.

Lu Jing stared at the map, casually picked up the five-flavor preserved fruit from the plate and put it in his mouth, feeding it to Ba Shemotong at the table from time to time.

It fought fiercely with Zhang Yun's black eagle, and suffered a slight injury. The eagle's claws scratched a long cut on its back, and its scales were scratched off. It was dripping with blood, and it was very embarrassed. There are two more tooth holes in the claws, and the body is highly poisonous.

"Look at what?"

Lu Jing glanced at her helplessly: "Sleep well, there will be a big battle tomorrow."

"Can't sleep..."

Zhang Qiying shook her head, wrapped in a thin quilt, walked to sit next to Lu Jing, and looked at the map on the table with him: "Are you worried?"

"Who can't be worried?"

Lu Jing smiled and said, "That's Cao Cao."

"..."

Zhang Qiying opened her mouth, originally wanting to encourage, but the one on the opposite side is really too strong, even she, who has been in seclusion all year round, knows Cao Cao's achievements, flattening the Yellow Turban, fixing Hebei, conquering Wuhuan, and collecting Jingzhou... the nine states of the world have already Sixth, everyone knows that the Han Dynasty is in decline. Today, the overlord who is most likely to end this troubled world in this world is Cao Cao!
Fighting against such a person is not insignificant.

Zhang Qiying couldn't say words of comfort, but just grabbed Lu Jing's hand, held it tightly, and lived and died together.

"It's getting bolder."

Lu Jing glanced at her, didn't pull back, and let her go.

Zhang Qiying smiled, grasped it even tighter, and said, "I've been watching it for so long, do you have any clues?"

Lu Jing stared at the map and frowned slightly: "Our army occupies a good position in the pass city. With a high view, it is invulnerable. As long as the defense is proper, Cao Cao will not be able to win the pass by force...Of course, if he uses some fourth-rank or even third-rank The strange treasure, then there is no need to think about these, just surrender."

"Haha."

Zhang Qiying covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly: "Don't worry, it's not so easy to move above the third rank. If it really moves, it will resonate with the world. No one knows... The fourth rank is not enough to control such a large-scale battle. The scope of Xiefeng’s suppression is also limited, and it needs to be trapped by Xiaodu Gongyin before it can be used...Cao Cao must have treasures, but don’t worry too much.”

"I hope so."

Lu Jing sighed, put down the brush, and shook his head helplessly: "What a pity."

Zhang Qiying was surprised: "What a pity?"

Lu Jing pouted at the map and said, "It's a pity that there are not enough manpower... Compared with the Central Plains, the quality and quantity of talents in Hanzhong and the Central Plains are too far apart. There are too many places that need to be defended, and there are many places that are constrained... Even if I guess it Cao Cao's possible movements don't have that much manpower and prestige to deploy troops, knowing it is the same as not knowing."

Zhang Qiying immediately said: "What do you want to do? I'll help you out!"

"You can't either."

Lu Jing looked at the map, pointed to a certain place, and said, "For example, these places are the key points of the [Five Elements Flower Tree Array], they are all supported by spiritual materials, and they need to be guarded by the gods; and here, Yang Song is here. , although this person is talented, but he forgets righteousness when he sees profit, so he has to guard against it, and he has to send someone to watch; there is also the mansion of the Seventh Master Uncle, who is charged with guarding the city, and he must be surrounded by guards, the stronger the skill, the better... …These are all loopholes, but so what? If we are all guarding here, we may not be able to stop Cao Cao's army from attacking the city, so how can we distract ourselves from defending these loopholes?"

"This……"

Zhang Qiying's face became serious, and she was a little anxious: "Then what should I do?"

"There is only one way."

Looking at the map, Lu Jing said flatly, "Draw the bottom of the pot!"
