Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

When Cao Cao attacked Badong with all his strength and Zhuge Liang rushed to support Jiange, Chen Yang should have taken Zitong first and then Fushui Pass to complete his plan.

However, before they had time to send troops from Jiange, a group of soldiers from the south was stationed in Zitong, ready to attack Jiange.

"They are soldiers sent by Liu Yan, the capital of Shu. The news that the Jiange has been lost has spread throughout Yizhou. Liu Yan has no choice but to send troops to resist us."

Chen Yang thought for a while, and decided to change his plan to take Fushuiguan.

If the Jiange is lost, Liu Yan will not leave defenses, and I am afraid that Fushuiguan will not be able to take it down.

Wanting to retreat back to Jiameng Pass, Chen Yang thought about it for a while, but this plan would not work.

Now that Liu Yan has sent troops to Jiange, Zhuge Liang must be on his way back to Jiange, and will definitely cut off their way to retreat to Jiameng Pass.

The most important point is that Chen Yang wants to occupy the Jiange and open up the passage from Hanzhong to Yizhou, so that he can plan big things in the future.

He took this place, and never thought about returning it.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Yang returned to Jiange, he saw Liu Feng stationed outside Jianmen Pass. Due to the terrain, they did not attack immediately, but could only wait outside.

Soon, several days passed.

The weather is getting colder and colder, even Jiange is starting to snow.

Zhuge Liang's retreating army finally returned to the outside of Jianmen Pass, and the army sent by Liu Yan from the south to attack Jiange was stationed near Zitong.

The two sides did not launch an attack, but confronted Chen Yang, trapping Chen Yang.

"Mr. Zhuge, are you there?"

Chen Yang walked to the tower of Jianmen Pass and said loudly.

After a while, Zhuge Liang appeared at the foot of the city. It was winter, and he was still holding a feather fan to pretend to be aggressive, and slowly raised his head to look up.

"Chen Yang, this time, you won again. You are really good, I admire you."

Zhuge Liang had to admit that his strength in many aspects was far inferior to that of Chen Yang.

"Accepted!"

Chen Yang cupped his hands. It was quite a sense of accomplishment to be able to force Zhuge Liang to such an extent. He asked again: "I'm curious about one thing, and I want to ask clearly. Aren't you all under Liu Bei's command before? Why did you turn around and all of you Did you take refuge in Liu Yan, or is there any shady relationship between Liu Yan and Liu Bei?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "You are not qualified to know the reason behind it."

Chen Yang said, "What if I have to know?"

Zhuge Liang sneered: "It depends on whether you have this ability in the future, but before I kill you with my own hands, I may fulfill your request."

"You want to kill me? You don't have the qualifications either!"

Chen Yang restrained his smile, and said again: "When I reach Shudu, you will know whether I have this ability, but before that, Zhuge Villager, you have to seriously think about how to break through Jianmen Pass! I can break through in a short time, but you are afraid that you can't?"

These words are not harmful, but extremely insulting.

It is equivalent to saying that Zhuge Liang is far inferior to Chen Yang.

Before Zhuge Liang could respond, Zhang Fei beside him shouted loudly: "Military Master, give me 5000 men, and I will immediately take down Jianmen Pass for you."

Zhuge Liang still had self-knowledge, shook his head and said: "If 5000 people want to take down Jianmen Pass, it is tantamount to going to death, not to mention it is winter, it is even more difficult to attack. I will find a way how to attack the city. There is no order from me at present. Not allowed to fight."

Zhang Fei glanced at Chen Yang on the tower, and gritted his teeth. If he wanted to say that the person he wanted to kill the most in his life was definitely Chen Yang.

"Military Master, there must be no loss of Jianmen Pass, otherwise, the capital of Shu will be in danger." Liao Hua said worriedly.

"I know, but who can win Jianmen Pass now?" Zhuge Liang asked back.

Many generals fell silent at the same time.

"This time, I want to trap Chen Yang to death in the Jiange. To the south of the Jiange, His Majesty's army has already stationed at Zitong, blocking Chen Yang's way to the south."

Zhuge Liang's eyes turned cold, and he said again: "In a short time, Cao Cao's army will definitely come to Jiameng Pass, and then come to Jiange to rescue Chen Yang, so Yuan Fu obeys orders."

"Subordinates are here!"

Zhou Cang inside stepped forward.

Zhuge Liang said again: "You lead people to occupy the best position on the road from Jiameng Pass to Jianmen Pass, and resist Cao Cao's army going south."

"Yes!"

Zhou Cang said.

Zhuge Liang glanced at the nearby terrain, he waved to call a few soldiers and told them to go along the nearby Micang Mountain.

He couldn't guarantee that he would be able to trap Chen Yang to death, and he still needed to prepare a way out.

Micang Mountain is his escape route.

Chen Dao agreed: "From Jiameng Pass to Jianmen Pass, there is only Jinniu Road. As long as Yuan Fu can control Jinniu Road, Cao Cao will not be able to save Chen Yang. The terrain advantage of Jiange will soon become Chen Yang's disadvantage."

Zhuge Liang nodded solemnly and said, "That's right!"

He seemed to be able to see how Chen Yang would beg for mercy.

Chen Yang closed the sword gate, returned to the Jiange, and ordered someone to call Yang Song over.

Now there is no need to enter Zitong, Yang Song has not been killed, Chen Yang wants to leave his head to Guan Ping.

"General, what are we going to do now?"

Yang Song said tremblingly.

"You go to collect food from Jiange, and send it all to me."

Chen Yang was forced to decide to fight a protracted war with Zhuge Liang outside, and he probably guessed what Zhuge Liang was up to now.

This method is definitely good, but how long can Zhuge Liang be sleepy?

After a long time, Zhuge Liang will not be able to afford it.

Chen Yang knew that Cao Cao would not ignore him, marching from the direction of Jiameng Pass, he could block Zhuge Liang between Jiameng Pass and Jianmen.

At that time, not only Chen Yang, but also Zhuge Liang will be unable to advance or retreat.

With Zhuge Liang's resourcefulness, Chen Yang knew that he would also arrange a retreat for himself, as long as he retreated, Chen Yang would win.

In the north, the army of the Northern Expedition began to move, and with Bu Dugen and other Xianbei people restraining them, Sima Yi did not dare to go south at will.

After many considerations, Chen Yang thought that this protracted battle could be fought, and there was no need to give up Jiange.

Yang Song's speed was very fast. In less than half a day, the food in the Jiange was collected. Except for the food stored by ordinary people, the remaining food was enough for their soldiers to eat for two months.

Two months is almost enough for Chen Yang.

Therefore, Chen Yang did not take the initiative to go out of the city to attack, and vice versa, time dragged on.

"General, there is no way for us to go on like this. Even if we have the advantage of Jianmen Pass, we can't delay for too long."

Guan Yu worried that there would be a day when the food would run out.

"At the end of the day, there will be a solution." Chen Yang said.

Time passed quickly, the weather was getting colder and colder, and there was more and more snow in the sky.

It is in the high mountains, so the temperature is lower.

At the same time, Cao Cao's army finally united with Guan Ping and Jiang Wei, and came to Jinniu Road.

Zhou Cang occupies the most dangerous place on Jinniu Road. When Cao Cao first arrived, he had a fight with Zhou Cang, but no matter what, he couldn't break through Zhou Cang's defense.
