Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

"Second brother, I don't blame you for this matter. If you didn't come to support me, I might have been trapped by Zhang Ren in Jiameng pass."

Liu Bei couldn't blame Guan Yu either. After all, he led the army to support him for his own safety. Now he still needs to find a way as soon as possible, if he can block Cao Shuo's army.

Zhao Yun's army was only four hundred miles away from Hanzhong. If his navy marched all the way west, his own army would be unable to stop it.

Guan Yu said: "Brother, Zhao Yun's martial arts is superior to that of my younger brother. We must be cautious, and Zhao Yun has Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan as assistants by his side. This is even more invincible for us. We must find ways to capture Zitong and use it. The advantage of Jiange Jiameng Pass resists Cao Shuo's army."

"Report, General Zhao Yun of the State of Wei sent a message, claiming that if there is no Guan Yu stationed in Xicheng, their army will attack Xicheng in three days."

Liu Bei asked with a look of horror: "Why is the second brother going to guard?"

"Zhao Yun didn't say anything!"

Liu Bei became vigilant in his heart. Could it be that if Guan Yu went to guard, Zhao Yun would really not be able to attack?
Are they afraid of Guan Yu?
It's impossible, they must have some kind of conspiracy.

Or maybe the second brother has some unspeakable secrets.

Du Xi, who was on the side, said, "My lord, this is obviously a plan to alienate the other party. They just want to create a gap between the lord and the second general, so as to divide our strength."

Liu Bei asked with a puzzled expression, "Is this really necessary?"

Cao Shuo has a strong army and countless good generals and advisers. How can he use divisive tactics against himself?
He felt that Cao Shuo must have other ideas in doing so.

Guan Yu said: "Brother, second brother's loyalty to you is definitely not something that Zhao Yun can instigate rebellion with a few words."

Liu Bei said: "Second brother's heart, how can elder brother not understand, it's just that this matter is too strange."

Zhao Yan said, "My lord, it's also possible that the other side wants to hold back the second general so that we don't have a chance to attack Zitong."

Guan Yu had to defend the West City. No matter what Zhao Yun said was true or not, they had to deal with it according to the truth.

As for the attack on Jiameng Pass, it finally fell on Wei Yan's head, and Huang Zhong's heavy responsibility of defending Sanguan Pass could only be handed over to Du Xi.

Right now Hanzhong is surrounded by enemies on three sides, Liu Bei wants to prepare a way out for himself, and he must take Zitong down no matter what.

Liu Bei led an army of [-] to support Wei Yan in Jiange. At the same time, he asked Zhao Yan to recruit [-] more soldiers in Hanzhong and hand them over to Liao Hua for training.

"Report, Zhang Ren from Jiameng Pass suddenly led an army of [-] to attack Jiange. General Wei Yan asked the lord for help."

Before Liu Bei's army arrived at Jiange, they received Wei Yan's distress letter.

This Zhang Ren is really lingering, and he doesn't even give himself a chance to breathe.

Since he is so eager to seek death this time, let him know that the white-eared elite soldiers are powerful.

"Notify Wei Yan that my [-] troops will arrive at the Jiange before dark, and let him lead the white-eared elite soldiers to fight."

"promise!"

Wei Yan's [-] white-eared elite soldiers lined up outside the pass, and looked at Zhang Ren who was also showing off his might on the opposite side, and he was very surprised.

A large number of Wei equipment also appeared in Zhang Ren's army, which made Wei Yan vigilant.

"kill!"

Wei Yan shouted loudly, and five thousand white-eared elite soldiers rushed forward.

Zhang Ren also led the four thousand elite soldiers to meet the Baier elite soldiers.

The two sides fought outside the Jiange for nearly an hour, and each had losses. Wei Yan's white-eared elite soldiers lost more than 1000 people, and Zhang Ren's elite infantry also lost more than 1000 people.

But Wei Yan only had these 5000 troops, while Zhang Ren had [-] ordinary soldiers.

After Wei Yan returned to Jiange, Zhang Ren unceremoniously pulled off the equipment from the corpses.

The ebb and flow made Wei Yan feel a little dizzy.

"Siege!"

Taking advantage of his high morale, Zhang Ren directly ordered the attack on Jiange.

He still adopted Liao Hua's tactics, letting ordinary soldiers consume the defense equipment, and then dispatching elite soldiers.

Zhang Ren's army continued to attack until evening, when Liu Bei's army entered the Jiange, Zhang Ren had no choice but to build a large camp outside the city.

"Order to go down, dig horse pits around the camp, arrange horse-proof posts, and don't let the opponent's cavalry approach the camp."

"promise!"

When Liu Bei came to Jiange, seeing Wei Yan's embarrassed appearance, he hurriedly asked, "I asked you to fight, how could you lose to Zhang Ren?"

Wei Yan explained: "My lord, Zhang Ren also has Wei's equipment. Our army is not dominant at the moment, and Zhang Ren also has a weapon of the same quality as General Guan, which will do great harm to our soldiers."

Liu Bei's face darkened, is this Cao Shuo trying to play himself to death?

If he can't win Jiameng Pass within three days, then he is likely to face Zhao Yun's [-] troops.

Liu Bei asked his men to count the soldiers of the Jiange, and it brought nearly 5000 people. If they fight Zhang Ren to the death at this time, maybe there will be a turning point.

"Wei Yan, let the soldiers have a full meal, and fight Zhang Ren to the death tomorrow morning."

"A fight to the death?"

Wei Yan felt that Liu Bei must be crazy. Their numbers were not superior. If the soldiers were gone, what would they do in the future?
Shu has much more supplies than Hanzhong, and they can't afford a war of attrition.

"My lord, this is a move that hurts the enemy one thousand and eight hundred. Even if our army wins, there are not many soldiers left. How can we defend against Ma Teng in Xiliang and Cao Shuo in the east?"

Liu Bei sighed and said, "Master Wen doesn't know that Wei's army has captured Sanguan, and Zhao Yun of Nanyang has also captured Shangyong and Xi counties. The army has already stationed on the other side of the west city. We have no choice."

Wei Yan was stunned, how long has it been since Guan Yu left Wudang?All three counties have been lost, so how will we fight after this battle?
He finally understood Liu Bei's intention. He wanted to capture Zitong as soon as possible, and use the natural dangers of Jiange and Jiameng Pass to guard against Cao Shuo.

Liu Bei wants to give up Hanzhong...

He regretted following Liu Bei a bit at the beginning, but he didn't expect that after Liu Bei came to Hanzhong, he neither destroyed Dong Zhuo nor defeated Ma Teng, and now he can't even defeat Liu Zhang.

"The last general takes orders!"

Wei Yan left Liu Bei's tent.

Looking at Wei Yan's worried expression, Liu Bei had an ominous premonition.

"Sun Qian, do you think this Wei Yan will see that our army's situation is unfavorable, and then abandon me and switch to other people?"

Sun Qian said: "My lord, now is the time for employing people, so you must not have such thoughts."

"Ugh!"

At this time Liu Bei thought of Zhang Fei again. If the third brother was still alive, how could he attack Zhang Ren for a long time.

With Zhang Fei's bravery, that Zhang Ren didn't dare to do anything wrong in front of him.

Jian Yong suggested: "Master, why don't we sneak attack Zitong from Gangdi Road?"

"I'm afraid Zhang Ren is prepared, this plan is too dangerous!"
