    But in the other direction, Liu Ke led the army and finally arrived at Chencang after a long and difficult journey.

    During this period, the situation on Zhao Yun's side has become very critical.

    First of all, Xia Houyuan was the first to move out. He took advantage of the rising water in the Wei River to raise an army of 30,000 and sail down the river.

    With unstoppable momentum, they reached Xiashikou, thirty miles west of Chencang, and were discovered by the local defenders.

    Zhao Yun had a total of 100,000 troops. In order to block Xiahou Yuan's eastward march, he had to mobilize 30,000 troops and rush to Xiashikou to intercept them.

    The so-called Kip Shek Kou is what the locals call it.  In fact, it is named after the terrain here.

    When the Wei River flows through this place, it becomes the dividing point between two mountain ranges, the Qinling Mountains to the south and the Longshan Mountains to the north.

    The terrain is steep with water between two mountains, but when we arrived at Xia Shikou, we suddenly broke through the mountain peaks and entered the Guanzhong Plain.

    Xishikou became the last pass to enter the Guanzhong Plain.

    Zhao Yun deployed an army there that was equal to Xiahou Yuan's in order to prevent the other party from directly invading the Guanzhong Plain after breaking through.

    When Zhao Yun had just blocked Xiahou Yuan's attack, Liu Bei's army had already set off from Hanzhong and headed north along the inclined valley.

    Among them, Zhang Fei's army, who was the vanguard, had already reached the old road, but Zhao Yun urgently mobilized troops and horses to block him outside Sanguan, so he did not enter Guanzhong.

    However, Zhang Fei is very powerful and has been fighting continuously during this period.

    Zhao Yun fought with him several times and found that this man seemed reckless, but his force was very high.

    He used a snake spear eight feet in length like a poisonous snake spitting out a message, and even Zhao Yun did not dare to look down upon it.

    Therefore, in addition to leaving 20,000 troops and horses near Chencang for emergency response, Zhao Yun mobilized all the remaining troops and horses to rush to the Great Dispersal Pass.

    As a strategic location guarding the throat of Yongyi Prefecture, Dashan Pass is very important.

    At the same time, it is also built to be easy to defend and difficult to attack. No matter which side you attack from, it is quite troublesome.

    Under the guard of Zhao Yun's 50,000 troops, Zhang Fei was finally blocked here and could no longer advance.

    However, Zhang Fei's army offensive was very fierce, and he was only the vanguard, with Liu Bei and Guan Yu's large armies still behind.

    Therefore, Zhao Yun quickly repaired the book and sent it to Liu Ke for help.

    It wasn¡¯t until Liu Ke arrived that Zhao Yun finally let go of the stone in his heart.

    During this period, Zhao Yun fought on two sides, and both were very difficult opponents.

    Even Zhao Yun was a little unsure, but now he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    "Zilong, thank you for your hard work during this time!" After Liu Ke saw Zhao Yun, his first sentence was not blame, but full of concern.

    When Zhao Yun heard this, his eyes turned red instantly, and he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Yun is incompetent and cannot stop the enemy who invades the territory.

    Your Majesty is so troubled to come in person, you really deserve to die!  "

    Liu Ke helped him up, comforted him softly, and then said: "Zilong, I am here to completely eliminate Liu Bei's troubles.

    So even without your letter, I have made up my mind, so I don¡¯t have to blame myself.

    "But I and everyone have just arrived in Chencang and are not yet clear about the situation here. Please introduce it to everyone first!"  "

    Zhao Yun listened and quickly introduced it on the map.

    Everyone finally understood the specific situation of Xia Houyuan and Liu Bei's army.

    After hearing this, Liu Ke did not make an immediate decision, but asked: "What do you all think should be done next?"

    Pang Tong was the first to stand up and speak.

    "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Xia Houyuan should be dealt with first. Only after the threat on the flanks is removed, can we specifically fight Liu Bei."

    "No." Another counselor, Xun You, said and came up.

    "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, Xia Houyuan has nothing to fear! Liu Bei is the biggest threat.

    Especially his two generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, are brave enough that no one else can, and must not be underestimated.

    Therefore, we should first concentrate our efforts against Liu Bei.  As for Xia Houyuan, he only needs to send a general to guard Xia Shikou.

    As time went by, Xia Houyuan naturally retreated!  "

    "This strategy is inappropriate. According to Weichen, both armies pose a great threat. We should attack both armies together to avoid being affected!"

    The counselors in the room continued to express their sincere opinions, and what everyone said seemed to make sense.

    In this way, only Liu Ke can make his own decision in the end.

    Liu KezaoHe was used to all kinds of suggestions from people, and he didn't just sit back and watch the fun.

    Liu Ke was also constantly analyzing the feasibility of everyone's strategies in his mind.

    Some whimsical strategies were naturally eliminated immediately, but some others were implementable and were absorbed by him.

    Finally, after everyone expressed their opinions, Liu Ke finally made a decision.

    "What you all said makes sense. But I cannot accept everything unconditionally. That would lead to chaos.

    Therefore, I will implement the most effective strategy.

    Generals, listen to your orders, Lu Bu, I and your 50,000 troops will rush to Dashan Pass and garrison with Zilong.

    Liu Bei sends troops to challenge Guanxia, ??so you fight them.

    "If Liu Bei attacks a pass, there will be a tight defense there. In short, there is only one sentence: Don't go too far out of the pass at will."  "

    Generals Lu Bu and Zhao Yun immediately took orders.

    With a hundred thousand troops stationed at Dashan Pass, even if Liu Bei's main force comes, it will be absolutely impossible to break through the pass in a short time.

    "Ma Chao, I send you to rush back to Qianxian immediately, lead the 50,000 troops there to go west out of Longguan, pass through Longxian and Lueyang, and go south to directly threaten Shanggui.

    If my prediction is correct, General Zhang He should be approaching adulthood recently.

    When you arrive, immediately join him with my handwriting and mobilize him to go south together.

    After capturing Shanggui, they directly pushed into Wudu County and tried to eat the entire Wudu County in one go.

    This way we can not only block Xia Houyuan's retreat, but also threaten Liu Bei in Hanzhong from the flanks.

    It can be said that it kills three eagles with one stone!  "

    The southeastern part of Wudu County originally borders Hanzhong. As long as you pass Yangping Pass, you can directly enter the Hanzhong Plain.

    Therefore, Liu Ke¡¯s move is tantamount to taking the firewood out of the cauldron.

    Liu Bei was previously afraid of offending Cao Cao, causing internal fratricide and taking advantage of Liu Ke.

    Therefore, they have always adhered to the demarcation point of power between the two sides. Even now, they have never set foot in Wudu County, which belongs to Liangzhou.

    Only as a last resort did he enter the old path and confront Zhao Yun at Dashan Pass.

    But Liu Ke didn¡¯t have so much psychological burden. He was already hostile to Cao Cao.

    So entering his mainland, there is no psychological burden at all.

    Not only did he not have it, Liu Ke even wanted to take it for himself.

    After listening to Liu Ke¡¯s arrangement, the ministers left and burst into cheers.

    Even the leading advisers had to admit that His Majesty's arrangement was indeed the best way to retreat from the enemy.

    Therefore, the generals began to prepare according to his arrangements.

    Especially Lu Bu, led his troops and went straight to Dashan Pass.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
