As the pioneer of Liu Bei's capture of Hanzhong, Zhang Fei spoke to Ma Su when he was employed, hoping to take Xing Daorong as a real deputy general.

Xing Daorong followed Ma Su for many years and has always regarded himself as a guard, but he played a great role and trained a lot of talents for Ma Su. Wu Deng, who has now been promoted to deputy general by Zhang Fei, was trained by him.

He himself was not a vain, and he had the title of deputy general whom Liu Bei personally awarded. According to Xing Daorong's ability and contribution, if he served in the army, his status would definitely be higher than Mi Fang, Fu Shiren and others.

Ma Su felt a little apologized, thinking that he had delayed Xing Daorong's future.

Although Xing Daorong refused, Ma Su still agreed to Zhang Fei's opinion and forced Xing Daorong to enter Zhang Fei's army.

After arranging Xing Daorong's position, Ma Su was about to say goodbye to Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei just happened to send someone to come.

The visitor conveyed Liu Bei's order: Yan Yan came soon to replace Zhang Fei to guard the west, and asked Zhang Fei to prepare for the relationship early and go to Yangping Pass to participate in the war.

Yan Yan has been guarding Brazil for decades, and besides Zhang Fei, he is indeed the best candidate to guard Brazil.

The defense of Brazil County is very important. Liu Bei transferred Zhang Fei away, so he had to do it, in order to let him attack Zhang He, a stumbling block.

Zhang He and Zhang Fei fought in Baxi County for several months and were defeated repeatedly, which can be said to have left a psychological shadow.

Liu Bei and others also recognized that Zhang Fei was Zhang He's nemesis. When they saw Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Zhao Yun taking turns to go out, they could not shake Zhang He who was persistent and refused to report. Then they thought that Zhang Fei would come, and perhaps they could force Zhang He to retreat without fighting.

Once Zhang He retreated and Liu Bei occupied Guangshi, even though Yangping Pass was still in the hands of Cao's army, he cut off Xiahou Yuan's connection with Yangping Pass and Ma Mingge.

Although Xiahou Yuan had many troops stationed in Dingjun Mountain and had sufficient food and grass, he had become an isolated army, which was a taboo for military strategists.

Liu Bei could concentrate on punishing Xiahou Yuan in Dingjun Mountain, defeat Xiahou Yuan, occupy the line of Dingjun Mountain, and be on the high side, Yangping Pass has no danger to defend, which means that the entire Hanzhong already wants to open the door to Xichuan and can march at any time.

Ma Su felt that Liu Bei was unwilling to be too close to Zhang Fei, so he did not wait for Zhang Fei, but went to the front camp of Yangping Pass alone to ask for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was somewhat surprised by Ma Su's arrival, but he was still very happy to summon him.

When he learned that the Barbarian King Shamoke was interested in leading the entire Wuxi Man to surrender, he was also very happy, but he did not reply to Shamoke's desire to participate in the Battle of Hanzhong, but fell into deep thought.

Because Shamoko could only dispatch 5,000 troops and horses, he would invest hundreds of thousands of troops to the Hanzhong Battle with hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides, and 5,000 troops and horses were useless.

Moreover, the Shamoko army, which is still far away in Jingnan, cannot relieve near-thirst. When Shamoko leads his troops to come from afar, perhaps the outcome of the Battle of Hanzhong has been announced and the dust has been settled.

After Liu Bei and Fa Zheng discussed, they believed that the safety of Jingzhou was also very important. They first let Shamoke stop his troops and could support Jingzhou at any time, and then make a decision after the war in Hanzhong.

Zhang Fei then arrived at Jiameng Pass. Liu Bei was very happy. Their brothers met and they felt intimate, but it didn't last long.

Because Cao Cao led an army of 400,000 to Chang'an, if he could not defeat Xiahou Yuan before Cao Cao entered Hanzhong, he would basically have no chance to be with Hanzhong!

So Liu Bei immediately convened an army meeting and prepared to send people to attack Zhang He in Guangshi and pull out the nail.

Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and Zhao Yun were naturally unwilling to accept the attack on Zhang He for a long time, so they stood up to fight.

But Liu Bei transferred Zhang Fei from Wakou Pass, so he naturally wanted Zhang Fei to go there. He did not make a decision, but kept looking at Zhang Fei with his eyes.

Who knew that Zhang Fei, who had always been warlike, was abnormal this time, with his eyes hanging down, like an old monk sitting in meditation, and had no idea of ​​going to fight.

When Liu Bei saw that Zhang Fei had no reaction, he had no choice but to send Wei Yan to lead three thousand troops to Xu Yingshu and invite the battle in front of Zhang He's camp.

After all, the relationship between Zhang Fei and Liu Bei was unusual. Liu Bei was very puzzled by Zhang Fei's response, so he called Zhang Fei alone to ask.

Zhang Fei, who has always been careless, heard Liu Bei ask this question, and he rarely seemed to be upset. He kept slacking off his head with a big hand, just not talking.

After Liu Bei's repeated questioning, Zhang Fei revealed the inside story that he had an appointment with Xiahou Yuan and could not take action with Xiahou Yuan first.

Liu Bei suddenly remembered the in-laws relationship between Zhang Fei and the Xiahou family, laughed loudly, but muttered to himself.

Zhang Fei and Xiahou Yuan had reached such a tacit understanding in private. Without knowing this, his elder brother, his trust in Zhang Fei decreased by a little more.

Originally, after Liu Bei conquered Hanzhong, he still wanted Zhang Fei to guard the situation. Seeing the relationship between Zhang Fei and Xiahou Yuan, he was obviously a bit risky!

Liu Bei was unable to attack Zhang He, and he did not want to take a gamble to launch a decisive battle with Xiahou Yuan. The two sides fought for nearly a month, and Zhuge Liang's reinforcements arrived.

Zhuge Liang was also a little hesitant when he received a letter from Liu Bei for help.

Although Hanzhong is very important, now that Xichuan has gained a foothold, he is afraid that Hanzhong's defeat would shake Xichuan's roots, so he sought the opinions of Yang Hong, the prefect of Shu County.

Yang Hong replied without hesitation:

"The land of Hanzhong is the throat of Yizhou, which is the key to the survival of Xichuan. If there is no Hanzhong, there will be no Xichuan. This is a disaster at home. In the current situation, in order to conquer Hanzhong, all men should participate in the war. Even women should participate in the transportation and send troops to Hanzhong. What are the doubts about the military advisors?"

Zhuge Liang was about to send troops to go, but after hearing Yang Hong's words, he would undoubtedly gather 50,000 elite troops and prepare to go to Yangping Pass.

At that time, the prefect of Shu County Fazheng followed Liu Bei to attack Hanzhong. Zhuge Liang had submitted a memorial to Yang Hong as the prefect of Shu County. All matters were handled in an orderly manner. Now he has officially taken office.

Zhuge Liang wanted to go to support Liu Bei in person, but was worried about the matter in Chengdu, so he asked Yang Hong to be transferred to Yizhou Zhizhong to be engaged in government affairs and grain and grass transportation in Chengdu.

After Zhuge Liang arrived at Jiameng Pass, he made plans and fought with Zhang He and Xiahou Yuan several times, and each other won and lost, but he could not shake Zhang He and Xiahou Yuan's army.

Liu Bei's 200,000 troops were firmly blocked before Yangping Pass.

Zhuge Liang had no good idea, so he called Fa Zheng. Ma Su discussed together and wanted to delay Cao Cao's entry into Hanzhong. Ma Su offered his suggestion:

"If you want Cao Cao to temporarily postpone his entry into Hanzhong, there is still a way!"

Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng were helpless. When they heard Ma Su say there was a way, they asked in unison:

"What are the tricks that young people often have?"
