The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 532 Secretly Arranged
In the end, Yan Pu suggested: "My lord, since we are allies with Liu Bei, we should lend him the way, but what Yang Song said is not wrong, we should take precautions against them, and we need to strengthen Hanzhong after letting them pass the Yangping pass. keep the city's gates closed, and put enough archers on the top of the city to prevent them from attacking suddenly."

Yan Pu was Zhang Lu's aide, and he was quite cunning. Zhang Lu once thought of becoming king, but Yan Pu advised him not to do so, saying that Hanzhong is rich, the land is fertile, and the mountains and mountains around are very dangerous. It is enough to maintain the status quo. If he becomes king, he will be attacked by princes from all over the world. Zhang Lu followed his advice and ensured the stability of Hanzhong for more than ten years.

After listening to Yan Pu's words, everyone felt that what he said was reasonable. Yang Song added: "It is necessary to strengthen Hanzhong's defense, but I think Yan Pu's strategy is not good enough, and it should be improved."

"How to improve?" Yan Pu was a little surprised that Yang Song could have a better idea. In his opinion, Yang Song is a person with little ability. If he didn't know how to please Zhang Lu, Yang Song would never be where he is today. status.

Yang Song clasped his fists and said: "We not only need to strengthen the defense of Hanzhong, but also the defense of Yangping Pass. Now there are only 1000 soldiers stationed at Yangping Pass. We should send another [-] soldiers to Yangping Pass, so that Yangping Pass can be guaranteed. It's as safe as Mount Tai."

"Since Zhuge Liang has been let in, why should the defense of Yangping pass be strengthened?" Yan Pu couldn't figure it out, not only he didn't understand, but everyone present didn't understand.

Yang Song saw that everyone was paying attention to him, and they all looked puzzled, which made him very proud. He smiled and said: "Because we don't know whether Zhuge Liang really wants to attack Shangyong, if it is If it is true, it will not harm us. If it is false, it will prove that he intends to attack Hanzhong. If he really wants to attack Hanzhong, it is expected that Liu Bei will continue to send troops from Chengdu, so Yangping Pass must be defended. Moreover, Zhuge Liang We can't let him go easily if we have bad intentions. We must stick to Hanzhong while using Yangping to cut off his supplies, trap him in Hanzhong, and prevent him from returning to Chengdu. As long as we can persist, we will wait until Zhuge Liang's food and salary run out. That's when we fight back."

"Okay! This plan is very short, and we will increase troops at Yangping Pass according to Yang Song's words!" Zhang Lu applauded. Hearing Yang Song's words, he suddenly felt that even if Zhuge Liang attacked Hanzhong, it would not be a terrible thing.

Yang Song was very happy after receiving Zhang Lu's praise. He continued: "My lord, I have a better suggestion for Hanzhong's defense. In the face of Zhuge Liang's attack, we should not close the city gates tightly, but open the city gates and pretend to defend Hanzhong." Act like you don’t know anything, so that Zhuge Liang will think that we absolutely trust him, and if we close the gates of the city, he will definitely notice the abnormality.”

"But don't close the city gate tightly, what if he suddenly breaks in?" Yan Pu felt that this move was a bit dangerous.

"Master Yan, you can rest assured that we can ambush a group of archers at the gate of the city, and ambush enough archers on the top of the city. The archers can lie on the ground so that Zhuge Liang will not be able to find out. As long as he sends soldiers to attack For the city, we can let the archers shoot immediately, and at the same time, the soldiers who broke into the city first will be ambushed, and then ordered to lower the Qianjin gate. If he, Zhuge Liang, also comes in, we can close the door and beat the dog, and catch the turtle in a urn." Yang Song told the complete plan.

"Miaozai, Miaozai, really Miaozai!" Yan Pu, who never thought highly of Yang Song, said three Miaozai in a row, and he suddenly felt that Yang Song seemed to be a different person, as he used to only flatter. totally different.

In fact, Li Yuan informed Yang Song of these schemes in advance, otherwise, how could he come up with such clever schemes with his ingenuity, but now Yang Song regards these schemes as his own credit and enjoys the admiration of everyone, especially those from the audience. Yan Pu's praise, he knew that Yan Pu had always looked down on him, but now even Yan Pu looked at him with admiration, which made him feel very satisfied.

"Hahahaha, Yang Song, you are really my Zhang Liang, so I will act according to your plan!" Zhang Lu said happily.

Four days later, Zhang Lu added 4000 soldiers to Yangping Pass, so that the number of soldiers at Yangping Pass reached 4, enough to withstand an attack of 1.In addition to increasing troops at Yangping Pass, Yang Song also arranged defenses in Hanzhong City, and arranged archers to ambush at the gate of the city. At this time, Hanzhong had [-] troops. Although the soldiers were not too many, it was enough to defend Hanzhong.

After Yang Ren of Yangping Pass received Zhang Lu's release document, he opened the door and let Zhuge Liang pass. Zhuge Liang was very happy when he learned about it, and immediately let Zhang Fei lead the army through the pass.

When passing through the gate, Zhuge Liang took another look at the gate and found that there were many soldiers on the gate. He felt a little puzzled in his heart. It stands to reason that if there was no war, there should not be too many soldiers stationed at the gate, because it is not easy to transport military rations. , but at this time Yangpingguan had as many as 4000 troops, which made Zhuge Liang aware of something unusual, but he couldn't think of what was wrong for the time being, so he immediately sent someone to find Yang Ren, intending to find out what happened.

When Yang Ren learned that Zhuge Liang was looking for him, he came down from the gate to see Zhuge Liang, and asked, "I heard that Mr. Kong Ming wants to see me. I don't know what it is?"

"General Yang, may I ask why there are so many soldiers at Yangping Pass? Is it to guard against our army?" Zhuge Liang said deliberately.

Yang Ren already knew about Zhang Lu's arrangements in Hanzhong, so it was impossible for him to tell Zhuge Liang about these things. He pretended not to know anything, and explained: "Mr. Kong Ming is suspicious, and we will change a team of soldiers to station in Yangping every once in a while. Guan, the lord recently sent a group of soldiers from Hanzhong to take over, so there are only so many soldiers who are closed now, and they will return to Hanzhong in a few days."

"I see." Zhuge Liang nodded, feeling that what Yang Ren said was reasonable, so he didn't ask any more questions.Watching Zhuge Liang leave, Yang Ren secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Zhuge Liang was really meticulous in his observations, and he could even detect this kind of thing, which makes people dare not underestimate him. Fortunately, his answer did not reveal any flaws, otherwise Zhuge Liang might immediately They turned against Yangping Pass.

After Zhuge Liang led the army through Yangping Pass, Zhang Fei rode his horse to his side and said, "Sure enough, as the military advisor expected, Zhang Lu let us go. After a few days, we will suddenly attack Hanzhong, and we will definitely be able to capture Hanzhong." Morality, but Zhang Fei also agrees that doing so has indeed saved a lot of troops and time.
