Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 584 Interlocking
"How many days does Kong Ming think that Yide will be able to break Yique Pass?"

The Chinese army marched eastward from Shaanxi County. Because the terrain gradually narrowed, the entire team stretched longer and moved slower.

Liu Bei and the two military advisors simply found a high place and stood the Chinese army's flag there.

While watching Huo Jun leading the troops and shouting loudly for the soldiers to maintain their formation and pass in an orderly manner, several people were also chatting under the banner of the Chinese Army.

Zhang Fei's vanguard army reported battle reports every day.

They deceived and deceived Shaanxi County, and marched eastward to Xin'an to find peace everywhere. This was clearly written in the military report.

The report of the fast horse received in the morning also clearly stated that if Hangu Pass could be broken quickly, Zhang Fei was determined to attack Yique Pass.

If you can break the pass, you can control the south of Luoyang. If you can't break it, you can stop Cao's army from going north to attack the surrounding areas of Luoyang.

There was nothing wrong with this plan, and it was also one of the eastward marches planned at Tongguan before the army was sent out. Therefore, the tone of the few people was relaxed, and Pang Tong even had the leisure to use it as a topic.

Faced with such an inquiry from Military Advisor Pang, Liu Bei felt a little worried:

"My lord, the fierce battle between Cao Xiu and Yi Dexia happened in the 23rd year of Jian'an. Now it is only 19 years. This Cao Xiu lacks four years of experience."

This persuasion finally made Liu Bei feel more at ease, and soon Pang Tong also smiled and explained:

"According to what Feng Kai said, the guard general of Yique Pass is Cao Xiu."

"One thing is going on and the other is going away. Even if Cao Xiu has the advantage of Yique Pass, how can he be Yide's opponent?"

This was naturally a joke. Liu Bei waved his hands in amazement, and then he remembered the prisoners that Yide sent back from Shaanxi County yesterday.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Liu Bei was a little upset at this time. This is because he is concerned and confused.

Kongming explained:

If he didn't have full trust in his sworn brother and knew that his sworn brother was occasionally out of tune, Liu Bei almost thought that the pioneer would want to make some excessive demands.

When Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, he made a mistake and subconsciously said:
"Send him to Chang'an to see if he can find a good family."

The one who saw through the reality of Yide's plan was Cao Xiu.

The soldier subconsciously looked at Feng Kai, who had a kind-hearted face and looked at the vicissitudes of life, and then turned to look at the master. Pang Tong, who was worried about the world being in chaos, stood up and asked:

One is Feng Kai and the other is Mei Ji.

They certainly knew where their lord's worries came from.

"This general is Cao Cao's confidant. He has the ability to make decisions before the battle. If Yide can be trusted..."

I still remember the Battle of Hanzhong narrated by the junior named Wen Mang, which started with "Zhang Fei and Ma Chao left Bian behind."

Kong Ming and Pang Tong listened to their lord's chatter, looked at each other, and laughed together.

"Yide went from Yizhou to Guanzhong and fought dozens of major and minor wars. He was good at reading and loved his soldiers. He is not the same as Zhang Fei recorded in later history books."

"My lord, instead of worrying about Yide's safety, it is better to consider how to deal with Cao Xiu in advance."

In the history of later generations, Yide chose to repeat his old tricks when facing the fierce Cao army. He climbed the mountain to make noise to show his strength. However, Cao Jun accurately saw through it and attacked Bianpo City directly, causing the two thousand enemies to retreat hastily.

It was not until Liu Bei asked the messenger to explain the reason in detail that the misunderstanding that almost occurred was resolved.

"Why don't you...see if you can find a good family?"

"But do you want to find a good family for General Feng?"

Shaking his head and throwing away these memories, Liu Bei turned his head and glanced at the mainstay, then looked at Zhongtiao Mountain in the distance and sighed:
The second brother Sangzi's hometown is only separated by a mountain. He and Yide wonder whether they can get the snow of Muyan Mountain this year?

The Chinese army continued to move forward, and Liu Bei and others had arrived in Xin'an County in the evening.

However, what surprised Kong Ming and others was that while they were eating, a quick horse came back with good news. "Is the Yique Pass broken?"

Liu Bei suddenly felt delighted:

"Where is Yide? Are you injured?"

It was You Chu who came to deliver the order. He tried his best to straighten his back and said loudly:
"General Zhang led his troops to attack the city first and fought fiercely with Cao's thieves, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."

"After killing nearly a hundred enemies, Cao's army retreated. General Zhang only had a few scratches, nothing serious."

Then Liu Bei's heart suddenly returned to his stomach.

Pang Tong, who was on the side, didn't care and was confused. Hearing this, he said curiously:
"What about Cao Xiu? Have you caught him?"

"Never."

You Chu answered honestly:
"The tiger and leopard cavalry were so brave that they allowed General Cao to escape regardless of death. General Zhang only captured one chief, named Lu Qian."

"It's a pity that the lord can't find a good family for him." Pang Tong clapped his thigh and sighed, but You Chu didn't know why.

Liu Bei didn't look sideways, took two steps forward and pushed You Chu to the table, laughing and saying:
"Zhong Yun, let's have some together, and you can also tell me how Yique Pass was broken?"

"Your news really comforts my heart!"

You Chu was touched that Duke Xuande still remembered his cousin's name, and was flattered.

However, he was indeed hungry after riding all the way, and immediately stopped being pretentious. While eating, he vaguely described the situation at Yique Pass in detail to his lord and military advisor.

And You Chu's first words aroused the curiosity of several people:

"If you can break Yique Pass, then Wei Xu and the other three generals have contributed."

Regarding the situation at Yique Pass, You Chu also asked the captured Lu Qian before setting off. Combined with what he saw with his own eyes, he also told several people the whole story of the city's destruction in one day.

After hurriedly arriving at Yique Pass, Zhang Fei ordered Zhang Ji to hold a banquet and drink in front of the pass. The craftsmen worked all night long, and You Chu took the clothes soaked in shochu and found the wind outlet and waved them as hard as he could.

In short, the tactics used by Shaanxian County were used again almost intact.

When they were on the Changban slope, Cao Xiu saw with his own eyes how Zhang Fei used his horse to drag branches to create smoke and dust to cover his troops.

The rapid growth of Liu Bei's power in recent years has different explanations for Cao Xiu, who is based in Yuzhou:
It was all because Guan Yu was good at fighting in Jingzhou that he gave Liu Bei the opportunity to use his clan identity to attack Yizhou!
Regarding this point, the wealthy people who fled here from Yizhou swear by it.

Cao Xiu may not believe it, but combined with the previously heard information about the deceitful emissary of Changbanpo who flew through Yongliang in Hanzhong, and the fact that Wei Xu and the others swore in detail Zhang Fei's old suspicion formation when he broke into Shaanxian County.

So when he saw the exact same Dragon Gate Formation under Yique Pass with his own eyes, Cao Xiu felt angry and laughed for a moment:

Do you really think that Cao Xiu is the brainless person you, Zhang Yide, have encountered before?
Although Lu Qian, the chief secretary, repeatedly advised that it was better to stay put and not come out, Cao Xiu still decided to boldly come out and give Zhang Yide a hard blow!
Isn't it just hiding an ambush and waiting for work? Then I'm better at hiding than you. How about I wait until the night is almost over before I make a surprise attack to see what you can do?

Guan Yu, who beheaded Yanliang, was protected by cavalry in Jingbei, so he had no choice but to kill Zhang Yide here, which could be regarded as a memorial to his uncle Cao Hong's spirit in heaven!
Select elite soldiers, give them food and wine, and be ready to fight.

At the Mao hour, Venus will rise and all the tigers and leopards will appear.

Zhang Fei was supposed to have been working hard all night to no avail, so he returned to camp in the middle of the night and fell asleep soundly, but was trampled to pieces by him.

Eh? Why is it an empty camp?

At the same time, Zhang Fei's thunderous voice sounded outside:

"How could such a crude plan succeed?"

"Zhang Junyi is right!"

"Everyone here is really mediocre!"
