Jinniu Road in Sichuan, Jiange, towering, Cui Wei, a man in charge, thousands of people can not open.


    This pass was taken by Liu Bei from Youzhou to Yizhou, where the Tianyu guards stationed 15000 troops. Even if there were 100000 troops, they could not capture the sword Pavilion.


    Jiange can also get reinforcements from Shu and Ba counties.


    However, the Xia army led by Chu Tian bypassed the sword pavilion from the ancient Yinping Road, making the sword Pavilion suffer from the enemy.


    The news of Chu Tian''s capture of Jiangyou pass and the loss of nanzhong reached Jiange, and the 15000 Shu troops in Jiange were in great fear.


    At baishuiguan in the north of Jiange, Yang Huai, commander of Baishui army, was attacked by Ma Yuan and Yang Shihou of Xiliang army.


    Yang Huai stands on the Baishui pass, overlooking the Xiliang army under Binglin pass.


    About 50000 troops of Xiliang army bypassed Hanzhong and Yangpingguan and directly attacked Jiange.


    The Xiliang army and the Guanzhong army were strong and strong, and they restrained the troops and horses of Hanzhong. Therefore, Ma Yuan and Yang Shihou, one of the local divisions, could enter Shu without fear.


    The whole Yizhou was stirred up by soldiers and horses from all walks of life.


    As the former headquarters of Liu Yan and Liu Zhang, Yang Huai was in charge of Baishui army and guarding baishuiguan.


    Baishuiguan was originally the front line of the battle between Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu.


    The difficulty of Shu Road lies in breaking the baishuiguan pass, and blocked by Jiameng pass, Jiange pass, Zitong pass and Fuxian pass.


    Chutian is located in Fu County, while Ma Yuan and Yang Shihou are in Baishui, separated by mengguan, Jiange and Zitong.


    Baishuiguan''s soldiers were very flustered and said to Yang Huai: "general, our families are all in Chengdu City. I heard that Xia Jun and barbarian soldiers from Nanman tribe who entered Nanzhong march into Chengdu City. If this goes on, our family will be captured by Xia army sooner or later."


    Yang Huai takes a close look at the Xiliang army at the bottom of Guancheng. The number of horses in the Xiliang army is amazing. There are at least 890000 horses in the Xiliang army with 50000 people.


    Only Xia Jun has such a large sum of money that a random army can produce tens of thousands of war horses.


    Tens of thousands of horses are already strategic materials for the Shu army.


    "It seems that there is no difference between surrender to Liu Bei or Chu Tian."


    Facing the Xiliang army, Yang Huai hesitated.


    "My Lord, Ma Yuan of the Xiliang army wants to talk about entering the pass!"


    "Let him come in to see me."


    Under the guard of Baishui soldiers, Ma Yuan comes to Baishui pass and talks directly with Yang Huai, commander of Baishui army.


    After taking advantage in the use of troops, we can basically combine hardness with softness and divide the enemy through various means.


    Ma Yuan knew that the white water pass was difficult to attack in a short time, so he tried to take the white water pass through negotiation.


    "The king of Xia has captured the three counties in nanzhong, and nanzhong soldiers have marched into Chengdu. The distance between attacking and conquering Chengdu is one and a half years, and the slow is three or five years. But in any case, Shu can''t defend. Without the natural danger of Qinling Mountains, how can Sichuan remain


    "I have been ordered to defend the white water pass. How can I be shaken by your words?"


    "When Liu Bei entered Shu, you were both generals of Baishui pass. Why did you surrender?"


    “……”


    Yang Huai was silent.


    Liu Bei went to Shu because Zhang Song and FA Zhengxian City, and Yang Huai, as the garrison general of Baishui pass on the border, had no response at all. Chengdu City had been conquered, and Yang Huai''s family members were under the control of Liu Bei and Wang Meng.


    As a guard general outside, he is powerless.


    However, Liu Bei did not take these people for granted.


    "The general situation is gone. It is disloyal for you to block the king''s division with a pass of less than 20000. Chengdu will fall, but you can''t protect your family. This is unfilial. If you are unfaithful and unfilial, how can you be a man


    Seeing Yang Huai wavering, Ma Yuan stands on the commanding height of morality and criticizes Yang Huai.


    After the annexation of Guanzhong by Chutian, he took the emperor to order the princes, and under the banner of the imperial court, had a great deterrent effect on the generals in Shu.


    Yang Huai''s face was constantly changing, and he was struggling. Finally, he said, "well, if you want to fight for the world with the land of Shu, who can succeed in the world? As long as you treat the people in Sichuan well, I will bear the blame. "


    In September of the 16th year of the Lord''s reign, Yang Huai, the general of Baishui pass, led 12000 people to open the gate and offer their services to the Xiliang army of Ma Yuan and Yang Shihou.


    In September of the same year, after the surrender of Yang Huai, the garrison general of Baishui pass, Fei Guan, the garrison general of Jiameng pass, also surrendered to the Xiliang army who entered Sichuan.


    Ma Yuan and Yang Shihou were not killed. They took Baishui pass and Jiameng pass and went to Jiange in October.


    Yang Shihou''s silver spear troops did not fight against each other and easily won two dangerous passes. Yang Shihou was deeply surprised: "people all say that it is difficult to go to the blue sky in the road of Shu. In my opinion, there is no difficulty in the Shu Road except Yangping pass, which Liu Bei personally guarded. In this way, we can win Chengdu in three months. "


    Ma Yuan said: "if people gather together, it will be difficult for Shu Road, and if people''s heart is scattered, it will be easy for Shu Road."


    In Jiange, the general Tian Yu had a deep relationship with Liu Bei, but he did not intend to surrender.


    Ma Yuan learned that the Jiange garrison general was Liu Bei''s former headquarters when he was in Youzhou. Instead of persuading Liu Bei to surrender, Ma Yuan sent a letter to Jiange to divide the garrison.


    As Liu Bei''s former Youzhou headquarters, Tian Yu may not surrender, but this does not mean that the other guards of Jiange will not surrender.The march of the Nanman army to Chengdu has already shaken the morale of the Jiange army, because many of the family members of the garrison are in Chengdu.


    Ma Yuan''s letter of persuasion to surrender was shot into the sword Pavilion, and the garrison of the sword Pavilion made a lot of comments in private.


    In his letter to persuade him to surrender, Ma Yuan promised to let go of the past and protect his family members. As for the demoted general, he would return to his original post at his discretion and would not suppress him.


    Otherwise, once the sword Pavilion is broken, the garrison and the family members will be executed.


    In contrast, the garrison had to consider its own position.


    If they stick to it, once the Xiliang army breaks the sword Pavilion, they will be the fish on the chopping board. There is no need for the Xiliang army to negotiate.


    "Hand over all the letters of persuasion to surrender from the Xiliang army. Anyone who talks about surrender in the army will be killed!"


    Unwilling to betray Liu Bei, Tian Yu took tough measures to seize the letters shot into the pass by the Xiliang army.


    As long as a pass is held, it will be difficult for the enemy to enter the Chengdu Plain.


    Even if Baishui and Jiameng pass are lost, there is still a sword pavilion to block.


    However, Tian Yu''s means did not fully work, and the sky was overcast.


    Ma Yuan and Yang Shihou were blocked under the sword Pavilion for five days. Ma Yuan did not attack, but put invisible pressure on the garrison.


    In the north of Jiange, there are fifty thousand Xiliang troops of Ma Yuan and Yang Shihou, and in the south there is the military power of Chu Tian.


    On the seventh day, the garrison of Jiange finally couldn''t help it. The garrison was homesick and mutinous. Led by several Shu generals, the garrison surrounded Tianyu''s camp.


    In the eyes of the Shu army, Tian Yu, as a general of the Youzhou faction, was only an outsider.


    "General, I''m sorry!"


    Several ministries seized Tian Yu, opened the gate of the sword Pavilion, and led the garrison out to surrender to the Xiliang army.


    Fifty thousand Xiliang troops lined up under the sword Pavilion. Ma Yuan and Yang Shihou rode horses to accept the surrender of the Shu army.


    Many Jiange garrison stood at the edge of the wall, waiting for the result nervously.


    Surrender is risky.


    In the battle of Changping, the Zhao army surrendered to the Qin army and was killed by the Qin army.


    In the battle of Julu, the Qin army surrendered to the Chu army and was killed by the Chu army.


    An important premise for the surrender of the garrison in Jiange is that Ma Yuan and Yang Shihou did not take any action against the garrison at Baishui pass and Jiameng pass after their surrender.


    Yang Shihou, the chief General of the silver spear efficiency army, looked at the towering sword pavilion which could not arouse the desire of strong attack. He could not help but sigh: "if you attack by force, ten thousand garrisons can block 200000 troops."


    Tian Yu was betrayed by the garrison and sent to Ma Yuan and Yang Shihou.


    Yang Shihou said to Tian Yu, "can you know why they betrayed you? Because it''s gone, you''re just fighting in a corner. A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good minister chooses his master. Why not turn to my lord


    Tian Yu was silent.


    "This man has old friends with Liu Bei. If Liu Bei doesn''t surrender, most of them will not surrender. Just put him in custody. When the three passes are captured and Zitong is captured, the transmission array can be opened, and Xiliang soldiers and horses can easily enter Shu to join the Lord. In Sichuan, we seem to have only three points, but actually we have seven. "


    Ma Yuan''s insight into the situation is amazing. He has seen that Xia Jun occupied the absolute initiative in Shu and attacked Yizhou sooner or later.


    Several Shu generals from Jiange looked at the two generals of the Xiliang army, as well as Yang Huai and Fei Guan, who surrendered to the Xiliang army. They hoped that Yang Huai and Fei Guan could speak for them.


    Yang Shihou comforted the people in Sichuan: "don''t worry, we won''t break our promise. You lead your troops and follow us into Zitong and Fuxian. "


    Ma Yuan and Yang Shihou easily won the three passes, leaving three thousand Xiliang soldiers to guard each.


    As for the 40000 Shu troops guarding baishuiguan, Jiameng pass and Jiange, they became the vanguard of entering Sichuan and immediately attacked Zitong county.


    The fourth regiment of Xiliang army is only one county away from Chutian''s camp.


    There is no news of Wenchuan and Wuguan in Sichuan county!


    This news even frightened Yizhou aristocratic family even more than the capture of Huoan and Muke in nanzhong.


    Wang Meng and Wu Han stayed in the three counties of nanzhong for several months. However, the Shu Road, which was proud of, fell without fighting, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the morale of the Shu army.


    Moreover, the Sanguan garrison also assisted the Xiliang army in attacking Zitong County, which has a transmission array.


    Once Zitong county is lost, the Xia army will continue to enter Shu through the transmission array, and the force may even reach a million.


    In Fuxian County, Meng Gong, the general who advocated a strong wall and a clear field, was in a dilemma at this time.


    Zitong is in the north of Fu County and has to be rescued.


    "At this time, we can only fight out of the city. If you win, you can still defeat the Xia army and recover Jiange and Jiangyou pass. Otherwise, it will only delay the date of extinction for several months. "


    Meng Gong judged that the time for the decisive battle was coming.


    Chu Tian put in millions of troops to fight against Shu, which was once regarded as a natural danger.


    Li Yan, Wu Yi and other military generals in Sichuan Province clenched their teeth.They go out of the city to fight against the war, which is equivalent to the gamblers who are forced into desperate situation and put all their eggs in one basket.


    At the same time, the Wu army and the Shu army were brewing a decisive battle with the Xia army.


    At this time, the Central Plains army of Wuqi, Shangyong army of zhangdao and Youzhou army of Weiqing attacked Fancheng to the north of Han River.
