The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 401 Yangping Pass

In the garden, Zhen Mi looked at the flowers in front of her with a hint of joy on her face. The scenery of Jingzhou was completely different from Chang'an and Yecheng, not to mention being alone with Qin Shou, which made her feel very relaxed.

"lady."

Huang Yueying was walking slowly towards them from a distance. She glanced around but didn't see Qin Shou, so she was very curious.

"Yueying, are you looking for the Prime Minister? The Prime Minister has already left Jingzhou." Zhen Mi smiled, as if she could see through what Huang Yueying was thinking.

"Ah!" Huang Yueying was stunned.

She didn't expect this to be the result. Qin Shou actually left Jingzhou at this moment. Where did he go?
In fact, when coming to Jingzhou, Huang Yueying was already prepared to be dominated by Qin Shou. However, the reality was not like that. Qin Shou treated her very courteously and did not do anything to her.

But she didn't expect that Qin Shou actually left Jingzhou at this time.

"Yueying wouldn't think that the Prime Minister came to Lumen Mountain just to accompany you and me for fun, right? The Prime Minister is a man of great talent and strategy, how could he focus only on love affairs?" Zhen Mi said with a smile.

Huang Yueying nodded after listening, but her heart was full of questions, wondering where Qin Shou and his troops had gone.

At Yangping Pass, the camp of the General Who Conquers the West, Wei Yan, Xun You, Xu Rong, Hao Zhao, Chen Dao and others gathered in the big tent. The generals had just come to investigate Yangping Pass.

It has to be said that Zhang Lu occupied Hanzhong and blocked Yangping Pass. No matter whether he took the Chencang Ancient Road, the Ziwu Road, or the Baoxiang Plank Road, the Qishan Road, or the Tangluo Road, he would have to face Yangping Pass in the end.

As long as Yangping Pass is defended, Hanzhong will be as stable as a rock. After Zhang Lu learned that the Cavalry Army was launching a massive attack, he wanted to surrender to the Cavalry Army, but his brother Zhang Wei disagreed. After some thought, he let Zhang Wei, Yang Ren, and Yang Bai lead an army of 30,000 to garrison Yangping Pass.

At this time, Zhang Lu had almost sent out all his troops. Except for the troops defending Nanzheng and those guarding against Liu Zhang, the rest of the troops had been sent to Yangping Pass.

At this time, Zhang Lu had already made up his mind that if Zhang Wei failed, he would surrender to the Cavalry Army. As for offending Qin Shou, did it have anything to do with him?
Poor Zhang Wei had no idea of ​​this. He thought Zhang Lu had the same idea as him, but he didn't know that Zhang Lu had a very high prestige in Hanzhong. Even if Qin Shou captured Hanzhong, he would not take Zhang Lu's life.

Compared with Zhang Lu, what is Zhang Wei?
"It seems that Mr. Xun is confident. Could it be that he has already come up with a good plan to defeat the enemy?" Wei Yan looked at Xun You who was silent and relaxed, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"General, don't worry. Yangping Pass will be breached tonight. All you have to do is guard against enemy attacks on your camp." Xun You chuckled.

"Military Advisor, do you think Zhang Wei will launch a night attack while we are still unstable?" Wei Yan chuckled and said, "He really underestimates our Cavalry Army. It is impossible for our Cavalry Army to be attacked at night."

Wei Yan is not a fool, how could he be attacked by the enemy at night?

Wei Yan even believed that his military tactics were the best in the Cavalry Army, so how could he be ambushed by an unknown person like Zhang Wei!
"Whether Zhang Wei is willing or not, he will launch a surprise attack tonight. General, just be prepared." Xun You warned.

Wei Yan's face immediately lit up with joy when he heard this, and he said, "So, the lord had already arranged this war before I came into being?"

"Planning in the tent, winning a battle thousands of miles away. The Prime Minister has already arranged the matter of Hanzhong, but outside Hanzhong is the land of Bashu, which is what the Prime Minister is most worried about." Xun You said solemnly: "Although the Prime Minister has divided the army into three routes, in fact, this year, our main target is not Cao Cao and Liu Bei, but Liu Zhang."

The generals suddenly realized that everything had been arranged. No matter who it was, they could lead the army to seize Hanzhong. It was just a pity for Zhang Lu. Everything had been arranged very well for him. "Wen Chang, Hanzhong is different from other places. Zhang Lu has been in Hanzhong for many years and has won the hearts of the people. Many of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect are distributed in Hanzhong. After the army enters Hanzhong, it must kill less." Xun You warned.

After hearing this, Wei Yan immediately agreed.

"Don't worry, sir. My Cavalry Army has strict military discipline. Who dares to cause trouble?" Wei Yan said, patting his chest.

Xun You nodded, and everyone immediately prepared to face the enemy's night attack.

On the city wall of Yangping Pass, Zhang Wei and others were also watching the camp outside the pass, with a solemn look on their faces. They could see that although the enemy was a little tired, their morale was very high. Some soldiers were setting up camp, and some were already training.

"They are the elite of the Cavalry Army. No wonder Qin Shou conquered the north because of them. With such elite troops, there is no need to worry about not being able to sweep the world." Yang Ren said with a wry smile.

He compared the situation in his mind and realized that the Hanzhong troops could not compete with the Xiaoqi Army at all. The morale of both sides was far worse. He secretly thanked himself for choosing to join the court. Otherwise, he would not only lose his wealth, but even his life.

"Hmph. So what even if they are elite troops? Can they capture Yangping Pass?" Zhang Wei's disdainful voice came to my ears.

Yang Ren was disdainful when he heard this. Yangping Pass was indeed a great pass in the world, but could it compare with Hangu Pass, Hulao Pass, Wuguan Pass and other passes? Even these passes could not stop the footsteps of the Cavalry Army. How could a small Yangping Pass stop the footsteps of the Cavalry Army? It was simply wishful thinking.

After hearing this, Yang Ren and Yang Bai looked at each other with a hint of disdain in their eyes. They really didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was, and how many talented people there were in the world.

"General, if we passively defend for a long time, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army. I think the enemy has just arrived and must be tired after a long march. We might as well take advantage of the fact that the enemy has not yet established a firm foothold and the soldiers are tired, and launch a night attack tonight. Perhaps we can catch the enemy off guard." Yang Bai said immediately.

"Yes, I am willing to lead the army and teach the Cavalry a lesson, so that they can see how powerful our Hanzhong troops are." Yang Ren also said, "General, can you watch me defeat the enemy at the pass?"

Zhang Wei laughed out loud, stroking his beard, and said, "What the two generals said makes sense. The Cavalry Army is invincible and has long been arrogant. Now they have come from a long way, the soldiers are tired, and they are not familiar with the surrounding roads. This is the best time to attack at night."

"General, you are wise." The two of them responded quickly.

"Therefore, I have decided that I will personally lead the army to attack the enemy camp tonight." Zhang Wei laughed.

"General, you are the leader of an army. How can you take risks? It is better for me and General Yang Bai to go." Yang Ren quickly persuaded.

"No need to argue. I will launch a night attack with General Yang Bai tonight. You stay at Yangping Pass." Zhang Wei said somewhat unhappily.

"In that case, I will obey your command." There was still a look of regret on Yang Ren's face, as if he felt sorry for not being able to accomplish any meritorious service.

Zhang Wei laughed out loud and looked very proud.
