After hearing Huo Jun's words, Liu Chan secretly applauded in his heart.

Speaking of which, Liu Bei is not very capable, he is not as good as Cao Cao in terms of ability, and his family background is not as good as Sun Quan, but he is able to gather a bunch of people who are willing to swear allegiance to Liu Bei, which is really a bit puzzled by Liu Chan.

Is this the legendary domineering aura? Thinking of this, Liu Chan shook his head helplessly, looked at Zhang Xiu who had been driven out by sticks, so he returned to the room himself.

Zhang Xiu was driven out of Jiameng Pass and rushed back to Nanzheng overnight to report the matter to Zhang Lu.

"Damn it!" Zhang Lu slapped the table fiercely: "House Huo Jun is just an unknown person. How dare you do this? Come and mobilize an army of 30,000 immediately. I want to attack Jiameng Pass!"

Zhang Lu has been coveting Jiameng Pass for a long time. After all, Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang have a grudge against killing their mother, so Zhang Lu seems to be rushing to Chengdu every day and night to kill Liu Zhang. However, Jiameng Pass has become an insurmountable level that Zhang Lu can't overcome.

Now that Zhang Lu heard that Liu Bei's troops were sent to Chengdu, there was only one unknown Huo Jun and two thousand troops at Jiameng Pass, so Zhang Lu became interested and sent his subordinate Zhang Xiu to persuade Huo Jun to surrender in Xian Pass.

"Lord, wait!" Hearing that Zhang Lu wanted troops to attack Jiameng Pass, he jumped out alone. Zhang Lu turned around and saw that this person was Yan Pu, his chief think tank.

Zhang Lu calmed down and asked, "Military advisor, what are you doing?"

"Lord, the terrain of Jiameng Pass is dangerous, and it can be said that one man should be the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it. If the lord attacks Jiameng Pass forcibly, he may suffer heavy losses!" Yan Pu said.

"Military advisor, what do you think should you do?"

"Lord, Jiameng Pass is a difficult bone. Now Jiameng Pass is in Liu Bei's hands, and Liu Zhang feels uncomfortable. As long as he can persuade Liu Zhang to send troops to Jiameng Pass, when both of them are injured, we will take action to gain the benefits of the fisherman! This is a strategy to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf!" Yan Pu said.

"I'm a good plan, but how can I get Liu Zhang to send troops to Jiameng Pass?" Zhang Lu asked.

"Don't worry, lord, I have old friends with Huang Quan, the subordinate of Liu Zhang. I will write to Huang Quan, and persuade Liu Zhang to send a team of troops to go up the Lang River and directly attack Jiameng Pass!" Yan Pu said.

"Huang Quan? Huang Quan is a famous scholar in Shu! If he realizes that this is a trick to drive a tiger and swallow a wolf, what should he do?" Zhang Lu asked.

"Don't worry, lord, Jiameng Pass is now Liu Bei's retreat! If Liu Zhang occupied Jiameng Pass, even if Liu Bei's retreat was cut off, this move would be of great benefit to Liu Zhang! So even if Huang Quan knew that this was our plan to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf, he would have to fall into the trap!"

"Okay, just follow the military advisor's plan!"

...

Chengdu.

Huang Quan received a letter from Yan Pu.

In an instant, Huang Quan understood that Zhang Lu was planning to compete with the clam to gain profit, but the plan Yan Pu mentioned was very feasible. Sending a team of people to go up along the Langshui River can just avoid Liu Bei's attacking army. If he could capture Jiameng Pass, it would be equivalent to cutting off Liu Bei's retreat. This temptation is too great!

Just as Yan Pu thought, Huang Quan jumped without hesitation even though he knew it was a trap.

In the hall of convention.

"Lord, I think we should send a team of people to go through Langshui and rush to Jiameng Pass! Now Jiameng Pass is the rear of Liu Bei. If we can attack Jiameng Pass in a surprise attack, Liu Bei will be like a turtle in a jar, and let us slaughter it!" Huang Quan suggested to Liu Zhang.

As soon as Huang Quan finished speaking, Liu Ba, Xu Jing, Dong He and others next to him immediately supported him.

Liu Zhang nodded. Although Liu Zhang was not very good at marching and fighting, he knew nothing. When he heard Huang Quan's suggestion, he nodded and said, "Now there are still 40,000 troops in my Chengdu city! I think it would be better to split 20,000 troops and run to Jiameng Pass through Langshui! But now Zhang Ren, Ling Bao, Liu Xun and Deng Xian are not in Chengdu, who should we send to lead the troops?"

Twenty thousand people attacked 2,000, which was nearly 10 to 1. Although the opponent defended the pass, it would not be difficult to conquer it. And more importantly, the defense of the west Shu side of Jiameng Pass is much worse than that of Hanzhong!

Jiameng Pass is located on the main road from Hanzhong to Xichuan, and it is also the first barrier for Xichuan to face Hanzhong. In addition to the hostile relationship between Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang, the Jiameng Pass was built in an extremely tall and solid manner against Hanzhong. The purpose was to resist Zhang Lu, Hanzhong. The city wall in Xichuan is only maintained on weekdays, so it is much more difficult to attack Jiameng Pass from Xichuan.

In the eyes of everyone, this is like a fat man. In everyone's opinion, 20,000 people attacked 2,000 people, and as long as they were not brainless, they could easily be captured.

So, as soon as Liu Zhang finished speaking, more than a dozen military generals immediately came out from below to ask for battle. Even a few civil officials were eager to try, hoping to get the credit.

Liu Zhang looked at the generals in the hall. To be honest, 20,000 people are not a small number, and Liu Zhang was really worried about handing over the 20,000 people to them. In the hall, the ministers also argued about the candidates for the troops.

Finally, the result of the discussion was that Fu Jin and Xiang Cun led their troops to raid Jiameng Pass!

Fu Jin and Xiang Cun are not very famous among the soldiers in Shu, and their abilities are average, but they have one common feature, that is, they are both from major families in Shu.

The two were selected by Liu Zhang this time, and they were somewhat pleasing to the relationship between the Shu family. When Liu Zhang's father Liu Yan entered Shu, he once greatly suppressed the Shu family, and even killed Jia Long and Ren Qi, the leaders of the Shu family at that time. At the same time, he appointed people from outside Sichuan, such as Pang Xi and Xu Jing, who were promoted at that time.

Therefore, the Shu family has always been somewhat resentful to Liu Zhang. Now that Liu Bei is attacking, Liu Zhang is facing a huge crisis. At this time, Liu Zhang has to show kindness to the Shu family to get the support of these geniuses and resist Liu Bei. It is also because of this that this time, in everyone's opinion, is a free credit, and it falls into the hands of Fu Jin and Xiang Cun.

...

There was no airtight wall in the world. When Fu Jin and Xiang Cun were setting off, Meng Da also received news, so Meng Da immediately sent someone to Jiameng Pass to deliver a letter to Huo Jun.

From Jiameng Pass to Chengdu, the nearest route was the one that Liu Bei took to attack Chengdu. He set out from Jiameng Pass, passed Zitong, Baishui Pass, Fucheng, Luocheng, and then passed Jinzhu to Chengdu. If you go to Langshui, you not only have to spend a big circle, but also have to go upstream, which is much slower. Therefore, when Meng Da's letter reached Jiameng Pass, Fu Jin and Xiang Cun's army had only left halfway.

Jiameng Pass.

After receiving the news from Meng Da, Huo Jun immediately recruited three thousand civilians and began to strengthen the city wall near Xichuan. At the same time, a large number of rolling wood stones were moved to the city wall, and the moat was dug several meters deep.

Although he only had two thousand soldiers and had twenty thousand troops, Huo Jun was not afraid at all, but Huo Jun still made the worst plan.

"Listen, no matter what happens, you must ensure the safety of the young master. If Jiameng Pass fails, you will immediately lead the young master to break through!" Huo Jun said to several confidants under his command.

At this time, Adou also received news that Liu Zhang sent someone to raid Jiameng Pass through Langshui.
