Chapter 58: Yangping Pass

From Nanzheng all the way west, after crossing Mianyang, there is Dingjun Mountain. After walking through Dingjun Mountain, you officially enter the mountain road entering Shu.

When passing Dingjun Mountain, Liu Fan stood there silently and looked for a long time. The calm mountains were green and lush. From early spring to midsummer, Liu Fan had been walking for several months without realizing it.

From the intense planning in Chang'an City, to the shuttle game on the Guanzhong battlefield, to the soldiers entering Hanzhong and the army entering Shu.

Along the way, more and more people gathered around Liu Fan, his troops became stronger and stronger, and Liu Bochang's reputation became stronger and stronger. Until this moment, he could truly have the confidence to return to Yizhou to inherit the family business!

I stopped and looked at Dingjun Mountain for a long time. Perhaps in this era, there will be no more magnificent wars in Dingjun Mountain.

"This mountain is steep and stern, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If a war breaks out in Hanzhong, this mountain must be a key place to garrison troops!" As Liu Fan said, seeing that he had been staring at Dingjun Mountain, Fa Zheng couldn't help but comment.

Turning his head and looking at Fa Zheng, Liu Fan smiled, then suddenly grabbed the horse's belly, holding the whip rope in his hand, designated the military mountain, "This mountain has good feng shui. If I can't leave the river in a hundred years, I will bury me on this mountain! Hahaha!"

Let's talk, Liu Fan rode his horse and whipped away.

Silently looking at Dingjun Mountain, which was still standing quietly in the distance, Fa Zheng felt a sense of bondage in his heart, as if he had expectations for this place. Shaking his head and no longer thinking about it, Fa Zheng quickly followed Liu Fan by clamping his horse's belly.

After walking through Dingjun Mountain, you will officially go up to the mountain road to Shu, the Taurus Road!

In the ninth year of Gengyuan, King Huiwen of Qin used "Stone Cow Dung Gold" as treasure and gave the Taurus to King Shu. The Five Dynasties of Western Shu attracted Taurus to achieve enlightenment, so it was named Taurus Dao. Later, the Qin prime minister Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo led a large army to attack and destroy the Shu Kingdom from Taurus Dao.

After that, the Taurus Road became the main road for transportation between Hanzhong and Shuzhong. Go west along the Taurus Road and you can reach Yangping Pass.

Yangping Pass, also known as Baima City, was built in the Western Han Dynasty.

It is adjacent to the Qinling Mountains in the north, the Han River and Bashan Mountains in the south, and the Xian River in the west and Zoumaling in the west. It is located at the Jinniu Roadkoukong that connects to Bashu in the west and the Chencang Roadkoukong that reaches Qinlong in the north. It is the momentum of supporting the Han River in the south, the Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain in the north. It is the western gateway to the Hanzhong Basin and the northern frontier of Bashu to Guanzhong. It has a very dangerous geographical location. You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat.

Go west to Longyou, go north to Chencang’s old road to Guanzhong, and go east to Hanzhong!

Therefore, Yangping Pass is a place that those in power in Yizhou must fight for. In the past, Liu Yan sent Zhang Lu to Hanzhong privately. After he killed Su Gu and seized Hanzhong, Yangping Pass was naturally occupied by Zhang Lu. Therefore, Liu Yan could only report to the court that the road was blocked and could not pass.

In fact, although Yangping Pass was nominally occupied by Zhang Lu, Liu Yan could always use it. After all, Zhang Lu's family was all in Yizhou, and his official position was also enthroned by Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou. Therefore, Liu Yan actually controlled the control of the Jinniu Road.

But when Zhao Wei was ordered to lead his army from Mianzhu, Yangping Pass blocked the city pass and refused to pass!

As soon as he saw this situation, Zhao Wei felt a sudden sensation. Liu Fan might have had an accident in Hanzhong. Although there were rumors that Zhang Lu intended to steal Hanzhong's independence, he had not shown any abnormality until now, so Liu Yan did not take the rumors seriously.

But this time, when the prince Liu Fanruo had an accident on his way back to Shu, he, Zhang Lu, would be inseparable from it.

Therefore, when Zhao Wei was rejected outside Yangping Pass, he was particularly nervous. First, he could not know the specific situation inside the Pass; second, if something really happened in Hanzhong, he would not be able to deal with it quickly.

At Yangping Pass, Zhao Wei led his troops to close the door again, "Yang Ang, no matter what choice Zhang Lu makes, I hope you will not mislead yourself. The Yizhou Governor personally granted by the late emperor of Liuzhou Munian, Hanzhong belongs to Yizhou, and Zhang Lu is now a rioter and rebel minister. If you turn on and let the switch go, I will plead with the state governor and forgive you, but if it delays time and makes the state governor angry, your Yang family can't afford it at all!"

"General Zhao Zhonglang!" His face was entangled, and Yang Ang was also depressed. He received news from Hanzhong the day before yesterday that Liu Fan officially took over Hanzhong and ordered the city gates to be closed and people were not allowed to be released into Hanzhong at will, especially the army of Bashu.

Although Yang Ang was not sure what Liu Fan sold in the gourd, his clan brother Yang Song said it clearly in his letter that Liu Fan was a person with great ambitions, so he must follow Liu Fan's military orders.

"Hanzhong has indeed been taken over by General Zuo Zhonglang. He ordered me to close the city. He would lead his troops back to Shu in the near future!"

The heart was rippling, and the words Yang Ang said in his words that led his troops back to Shu instantly aroused the turmoil in Zhao Yu's heart. He was able to escape from Chang'an City and instigate war in Guanzhong. Now he has even lighter troops to take Hanzhong. I am afraid that Liu Fan is no longer the passionate and passionate clan son in Chang'an in the past!

Zhao Wei was one of the first heroes to follow Liu Yan to enter Shu. When he was in Chang'an, he also met Liu Fan. Compared with Liu Yan's other sons, Liu Fan, as the eldest son, was really more steady and high-spirited. At least, the innate demeanor of the eldest son of the royal family, was not available to others.

Just based on the current situation, Liu Fan may have really changed.

Hesitated for a while, Zhao Wei looked up at Yang Ang again, "How did General Zuo Zhonglang take Hanzhong? Could it be that Zhang Lu gave him away?"

"General Zuo Zhonglang first attacked Baozhongcheng, and then when everyone thought he would attack Yangping Pass first, he chose to attack Nanzheng at night. Zhang Shijun was not prepared and Nanzheng City was defeated in a battle. Now the entire Hanzhong has been taken over by General Zuo Zhonglang, and Zhang Shijun will also return to Shu with him."

He looked surprised. Listening to Yang Ang’s retelling, Zhao Wei felt it was incredible. Liu Fan’s strategic awareness was obviously stronger. His trip did not seem to be returning to Shu, but instead he felt like he was attacking Yizhou.

He first occupied Hanzhong as the foundation, and then led his troops into Bashu, suppressed all disobedient forces, and successfully took over Yizhou from Liu Yan. Could this be the one who came back to compete with Liu Yan for Yizhou?

His eyes were shocked and suspicious. Zhao Wei was afraid to attack Yangping Pass at this time.

When he did not dare to attack Guancheng, Liu Fan had already led Zhang Wei and Xu Huang into the inner city behind Yangping Pass. The army was handed over to Liu Dan, and the commander-in-chief Fa Zheng, and Liu Fan came to Yangping Pass first.

With Zhang Wei's guidance, the vanguard army entered Yangping Pass unimpededly.

Under the protection of everyone, Liu Fan strode to the city gate and looked at the Yizhou soldiers with many soldiers under the city. Liu Fan chuckled, "General Zhao Zhonglang, don't be fine!"

His pupils suddenly shrank, and Zhao Wei stared at Liu Fan who was closed. After a long time, he replied: "Zhao Wei is ordered to come to welcome the prince back to Sichuan!"
