The Hanzhong Plain is bounded by the Qinling Mountains to the north and Micang Mountain to the south, just between Guanzhong and Yizhou.
Therefore, whether you go south to capture Yizhou or go north to attack Guanzhong, you must pass through the Hanzhong Plain.
Its strategic position is very high, and it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
It is said that it is the throat of Yizhou and the barrier of Hanzhong.
Even Liu Bei calls himself the King of Hanzhong, which shows how much he attaches importance to the land of Hanzhong.
??And Yangping Pass is the west gate of Hanzhong, connected to the old Chencang Road in the north, and can reach Guanzhong.
It is connected to Jinniu Road in the south and is also the nearest road into Yizhou Basin.
After passing Yangping Pass in the east, you will reach the vast Hanzhong Plain.
Therefore, as long as Yangping Pass is taken, whether it is taking Hanzhong in the east or Yizhou in the south, the initiative will be firmly in hand.
Especially for Liu Ke, if he wants to completely wipe out Liu Bei's power, he must capture Yangping Pass and capture Hanzhong.
If Liu Bei is compressed into the Yizhou Basin, he can catch them all in one fell swoop at any time.
If the other party wants to go north, it will be frustrated because of the difficult road to Shu and the problem of food and grass supply.
Therefore, for Liu Ke, the next battle will be very important.
It can even be related to whether the southwest land can be defeated in one battle.
Only by taking the southwest can we go down the river and take Jingzhou in the east, completely clearing the road troubles between Sun and Liu.
Therefore, Liu Ke almost had the belief that he would win and pursued Liu Bei to Yangping Pass.
For Liu Bei, even if he loses Yangping Pass, he will not be destroyed immediately.
But once you make a mistake, your desire to conquer the world will surely come to nothing.
So this battle is also crucial to Liu Bei.
Yangping Pass is not just a pass, it has actually been built into a systematic defense line under the management of predecessors and with the help of its own victory.
First of all, immediately to the south of Yangping Pass is the turbulent Han River. The name Hanzhong comes from the fact that the Han River flows through the entire territory.
To the north of Yangping Pass is a mountain peak called Zoumaling. Behind the mountain is a fort guarding Yangping Pass.
These are the structures outside Yangping Pass. Further inward, on the north and south sides, there are Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain that are at odds with each other.
In other words, if Yangping Pass is lost, we can still rely on Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain to block the opponent outside the Hanzhong Plain.
There is even a possibility of counterattack again and conquering Yangping Pass.
Such a special geographical environment is far different from other passes, which will completely collapse as long as they are lost.
So for both sides, this battle at Yangpingguan will be an arduous war.
Liu Bei's army has returned to defend Yangping Pass. He and Guan Yu personally led their troops to garrison at Qiang Pass.
Zhang Fei, on the other hand, was stationed at the camp behind Zomaling, which formed a barrier with Yangping Pass.
When the enemy attacks the camp, he will go out and attack the enemy's rear.
If the enemy attacks the pass directly, he can attack from the camp.
"Dingjunshang and Tiandang Mountain were temporarily used as the second line of defense, and Wei Yan and Huo Jun led their troops to garrison respectively.
When Liu Ke¡¯s army arrived outside Yangping Pass, they were instantly blocked by the imposing pass built on the mountain and dozens of feet high.
In desperation, Liu Ke had to temporarily station twenty miles outside the pass, waiting for a way to break the city before attacking again.
"My dear friends, do you have any good strategies to overcome this problem?" Liu Ke asked straight to the point.
However, what answered him was a long silence, and for a while, no one had any strategy to defeat the enemy.
Pang Tong even said: "Your Majesty, the terrain of Yangping Pass is dangerous. If you want to enter Hanzhong, there is no other way but this pass.
If you take a detour, you can only enter Hanzhong by returning to Guanzhong and passing Baoxie Road.
But in this case, it will take at least several months to go back and forth. Moreover, the Baoxie Road is also difficult to walk, and it requires a huge price to pay.
Therefore, only by attacking forcefully can we have a chance to break through. There is no other good way! "
Liu Ke¡¯s face became even more ugly after hearing this.
Since he raised his army, he has won every battle and is almost invincible.
But when we arrived at Yangping Pass, we suddenly felt something was more difficult than ever before.
In fact, it¡¯s not that Liu Ke¡¯s ability has declined, but that he is fighting not only his enemies, but also the general trend of the world.
For Liu Ke, this is the biggest enemy.
"It seems that we can only?Try to attack and explore the enemy's strength before making a decision! "
In the end, Liu Ke had no choice but to accept the fact.
So Zhang Liao and Dian Wei were sent with 10,000 troops each to attack Yangpingguan and Zoumaling respectively.
Zhang Liao's army rushed to Yangping Pass first. Seeing the towering pass in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
However, due to His Majesty's request, Zhang Liao did not dare to delay and immediately began to attack the city.
I saw a general flash out from the top of the city, it was Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang.
The appearance of this person suddenly shocked Zhang Liao.
He and Guan Yu were old acquaintances, so they naturally knew the opponent's strength best.
In addition, Guan Yu had a fortified city at his back, and Zhang Liao had no chance of winning.
As expected, as soon as he started to attack, he was hit head-on by Guan Yu.
After paying heavy losses, they were still unable to get close to the city wall.
In desperation, Zhang Liao had no choice but to retreat and go back to apologize to Liu Ke.
On the other hand, the army is not progressing smoothly either.
Originally, Zhang Fei, who was stationed at Zoumaling, heard fighting coming from Yangping Pass.
Just as he was about to go down the mountain to rescue him, unexpectedly, he met Dian Wei who came just as he came down.
The two had long had a grudge, and a fierce fight broke out in an instant.
Dian Wei and Zhang Fei are not much different in strength. They fought for dozens of rounds in a row, but they still couldn't decide the outcome.
Originally, Zhang Fei wanted to continue fighting with the opponent.
But when the movement on the Dingjun Mountain side disappeared, Zhang Fei thought of Liu Bei's entrustment.
He actually ignored Dian Wei and returned to the camp at Zoumaling to garrison.
Seeing this, Dian Wei wanted to climb the mountain to attack, but was ruthlessly repelled by the opponent.
In the end, I had no choice but to retreat.
"Your Majesty, I was unable to capture Zoumaling and suffered heavy losses. I am here to apologize!"
Dian Wei came to Yujia and said it without hesitation.
But he happened to see Zhang Liao already kneeling there. Looking at him, it seemed that the war was equally unfavorable.
Hearing this, Liu Ke waved his hand gently and said: "Wen Yuan, Evil Lai, all of you, please get up, I don't blame you!
"Do you really want me to be trapped outside this barrier, unable to advance even an inch?" "
Liu Ke sighed helplessly, but Zhuge Liang suddenly laughed.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I think I have a plan to defeat the enemy!"
"Oh? Please give Kong Ming a try!" Liu Ke's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he quickly asked Zhuge Liang to tell him.
So, Zhuge Liang began to say: "In the past, Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou, conspired to separate Bashu. In order to defend Shu, he sent Zhang Lu to attack Hanzhong.
Therefore, our army can imitate Zhang Lu's strategy of capturing Hanzhong, feign a frontal attack, cross the Han River in the dark, and occupy Dingjun Mountain. Then if we attack from both front and back, Yangping Pass will be broken! "(Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
