Chapter 23 Hanzhong Game
After solving the problem of spring plowing, Liu Chan focused on the matter of the martial arts hall.

As the "principal" of the martial arts hall, Liu Chan almost accompanied the first-year students of the martial arts hall to study.

For this reason, he invited many celebrities to come as teachers.

Pang Tong, Wu Yi, Liu Ba, Li Yan, Xu Jing.
Anyone who is capable, famous, or accomplished in military affairs can be invited to give lectures.

of course
In addition to liberal arts teaching, there are also many courses in martial arts.

One-man enemies like swords, guns and sticks must have the art of killing on the battlefield.

In addition to these, marching and fighting, setting up camps, tactical military formations, etc.
On the basis of theoretical knowledge, practical lessons are also staged.

For example, Liu Chan has held two military exercises in more than ten days.

One time was a marching military exercise, where Liu Chan's young master and the first-year students of the Jiangwu Hall competed in the martial arts training.

In the end, of course, the son and the army won.

Speaking of martial arts, although they have potential, they are not as good as the young master who has been trained by Liu Chan for several years.

After the military exercise, Liu Chan rewarded those who performed outstandingly in the military exercise, and every day he strengthened his relationship with the soldiers and won people's hearts.

Then came the military exercises.

Although we pay attention to "soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent", in order to exert the strongest combat effectiveness of the army, some military formations will be set up according to the geographical environment and the characteristics of the army itself.

One-character long snake formation, two-dragon out-of-water formation, heaven and earth three-talent formation, four-door fight-to-bottom formation, five-tiger herd-sheep formation, six-digger and six-armor formation, seven-star Big Dipper formation, eight-door golden lock formation, nine-character chain formation, ten-sided ambush formation .

First rehearse the formation, and then change accordingly.

The head or tail of the one-word long snake formation is turned around to form a two-dragon out-of-water formation.Moving forward in the middle, forming a three-talent formation of heaven and earth.

Both ends retreated to form a four-door pocket formation.Interspersed with each other, into a flock of five tigers.

Then arrange it according to the six Ding Liujia, that is, the six Ding Liujia array.Then half of it is drawn into a line, and the other half is like a four-door pocket bottom formation, that is, the Big Dipper formation.

Surround it in a circle, arrange the formation according to the eight trigrams, leave eight exits, and form a square, that is, the eight-door golden lock formation.

Arranged according to the nine palaces, each grid will be interspersed, and gradually become one, intersecting each other, that is, the nine-character continuous formation.

Finally, it became an ambush on all sides.

The ten formations are endlessly changing and difficult to resist.

If you can quickly set up an army formation, you are a good soldier, and if the commander-in-chief can see the situation clearly and change the army formation, then the commander-in-chief can be said to have the ability to lead the army.

What Liu Chan wants to train is naturally an elite soldier!

Pang Tong in Chengdu was busy with spring plowing. The food transport officials and civilian husbands were like tireless ants. They continuously sent the grain, grass and military equipment gathered in Chengdu to Hanzhong. Hei, and weaving clothes for a while to subsidize the family.

And Liu Chan took his own team to practice the first-year students of the martial arts hall and the first-year students of the martial arts, hoping to train a team of elite soldiers.

So more than ten days passed.

In Hanzhong, a hundred miles away, the war has been raging for more than a year.

The time is already in the middle of March in the 24th year of Jian'an.

The game in Hanzhong touched the hearts of people all over the world.

As for why Hanzhong should be fought around this place, it is naturally because Hanzhong, like Guanzhong, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Hefei and other places, is a must for military strategists.

For Liu Bei, Hanzhong is a place that must pass through Guanzhong to make progress abroad, and it is also the gateway of the Shu Han.

For Cao Cao, Hanzhong is the bridgehead for advancing Yizhou. There is an old saying that Longwangshu said, occupying the Hanzhong Basin, he has a sense of overlooking Yizhou in terms of terrain, so that Liu Bei is in Yizhou like a light on his back.

Since Liu Bei won Yizhou, the battle of Hanzhong kicked off

After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei took possession of Jingzhou.

In 211 AD, at the invitation of Liu Zhang, he entered Yizhou.After fighting hard in Yizhou for three years, Liu Zhang raised Chengdu to surrender in 214 AD.

The Liu Bei Group was overjoyed, but besides the joy, Liu Bei got another bad news.

Cao Cao personally led an army of [-] out of Guanzhong, intending to seize the Hanzhong area first.

When Liu Bei occupied Yizhou, the world was already three-thirds.

Liu Bei occupied Yizhou first, if he was allowed to occupy Chengdu again, wouldn't it be the scene of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty?

Even better.

At that time, the great ancestor Liu Bang only had the land of Yizhou, but now Liu Bei still has the three counties of Jingzhou!
So Sun Quan couldn't sit still.

Sun Quan sent an envoy to claim back Jingzhou, but was prevaricated by Liu Bei's empty words, so he sent Lu Meng to attack the three counties in southern Jingzhou.

Liu Bei had no choice but to give up the war in Hanzhong, and led his army into Jingzhou to snatch the three counties.

This move is tantamount to giving Hanzhong to Cao Cao himself.

Zhang Lu was defeated and fled to Badi.

Cao Cao divided Ba County into "Sanba", and appointed the prefects of Sanba with Pu Hu, Du Wei, and Ren Yueti, the former tribal leaders of Yiyi minority.

The situation was critical, Liu Bei had no choice but to give back half of the Jing land to Sun Quan, led the army back to Yizhou quickly, and ordered Huang Quan to meet Zhang Lu.

Unfortunately, it was too late, Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao took Hanzhong, his momentum was like a rainbow, and Liu Bei's Yizhou obviously felt a lot of pressure.

And Sun Quan felt as much pressure as Liu Bei.

Cao Cao occupied Hanzhong, and if he occupied Yizhou in the next step and wiped out Liu Bei, wouldn't the Sun-Liu alliance become a show?

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad. After Liu Bei's defeat, the next one will be Sun Quan's turn?

When Liu Bei was in a hurry to organize the defense, Sun Quan suddenly raised an army of [-] to attack Hefei, which indirectly relieved the pressure on Yizhou.

After Cao Cao dealt with the matter in Hanzhong, he sent his troops back to the Central Plains.

Only Xia Houyuan, Zhang Yun, Xu Huang, Du Xi and others were left to garrison Hanzhong.

And specially ordered Zhang He to wait for the opportunity to harass the land of Erba.

In 218 AD, Liu Bei led the army to attack Hanzhong, and sent Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, Wu Lan, Lei Tong and others to garrison Xiabian. They were defeated by Wei generals Cao Hong and Cao Xiu, and Wu Lan's general Ren Kui was beheaded.

Liu Bei garrisoned Yangping and attacked Zhang He at night with ten elite troops from his army. Zhang He personally led the troops to fight, but Liu Bei was unable to conquer them.

So Chen Shi and other ten battalions were dispatched to Jue Maming Pavilion Road, and Xu Huang led the troops to fight, defeating the Shu army, causing countless casualties.

In the early battles, Liu Beifang lost frequently.

In the Central Plains, Cao Cao did not dare to rush to support Hanzhong until he got Sun Quan.

So he raised his troops and marched towards Ruxukou.

Wu general Gan Ning led a hundred cavalry to rob and kill Cao Ying. The morale of Cao's army was low, and Cao Cao was forced to withdraw his troops.

In Hanzhong, although the Wei army fought well in the early stage, Xia Houyuan and others were seriously short of troops, and reinforcements were nowhere in sight.In addition, Hanzhong had been resettled before, and there was no popular base, so the expenses of the soldiers had to be transported from the rear of the Wei State.

The difficulty of the road to Shu and the difficulty of escorting materials became more and more difficult, which caused the Wei army to gradually become passive.

Soon after, Cao Cao launched the Battle of Ruxukou again, but Sun Quan couldn't resist, so he surrendered to Cao Cao.

In the first ten days of February, Liu Bei crossed Mianshui from Yangping Pass to the south and camped at Dingjun Mountain.

Three days ago, Xia Houyuan was beheaded by the Shu general Huang Zhong when he plotted against Fazheng.

The Wei army, led by Zhang Yun, retreated to the Yangping area, making the last battle of the trapped beast.

Liu Bei's nerves, which had been tensed for several years, could finally relax a little.

Hanzhong, which has been planned for many years, seems to be in his hands, and his long-cherished wish to revive the Han Dynasty can also see the dawn of victory!
