Under the White Water Pass.

Pang De, with a horse worth a thousand, was the first to gallop towards him with his horse drawn and his sword drawn. When he saw the figure at the foot of the pass, wearing a silver robe and armor and sitting on a snow-white horse, he couldn't help but hurriedly raised his hands and saluted:

"Young Master, what are you doing?"

Seeing this, Ma Chao's face relaxed and he said with a smile: "Ling Ming, I have decided to lead my troops to surrender to Uncle Liu Huang. I am waiting for you here. I wonder what your plans are next?"

"ah?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pang De seemed to be stunned for a moment, a little at a loss. After a while, he stuttered: "Young... Young Master?"

"Ling Ming, do you think Zhang Lu really wants to see me?"

"This time Liu Zhang sent someone to ask for peace with Zhang Lu. He wanted to cede Brazil County after repelling the emperor's uncle. He ordered his general to attack Jiameng Pass, but he would rather believe that the villain Yang Song framed him and detained him.

He took his family as hostage."

After saying that, Ma Chao's face suddenly turned serious and he asked solemnly: "Does Ling Ming think this kind of person is worthy of serving?"

"Besides, Zhang Lu is just a sit-down man with no great ambitions. He only wants to guard this one-third of an acre in Hanzhong. Sooner or later he will be swallowed up."

"If we continue to stay in Hanzhong, will there be a chance to take revenge on Cao Cao?"

Just remember the words.

Ma Chao also became more and more excited as he spoke, and said bluntly: "But Uncle Liu has the ideal of reviving the Han Dynasty. He has long been on the same side as Cao Cao's traitors. We will gain nothing by surrendering without any harm."

"I wonder if Ling Ming could consider surrendering with me?"

"this……"

The words fell.

Seeing Pound's hesitation, Ma Chao said nothing and fell silent, waiting for his decision.

After about a long time, Ma Chao saw that he was still thinking, and couldn't help but remind him again: "Ling Ming, you have followed me and my father for many years. No matter what your decision is next, I will not embarrass you."

"Your wife and children are safe and sound in the customs. Uncle Liu Huang has always been kind and righteous, and he won't force you even if he thinks about it."

Once again, he spoke in one word.

It fell into silence again.

Time goes by minute by minute.

Pound seemed to be having an ideological struggle in his mind. He was silent for a long time, and then he took a long breath and left a sentence: "Young Master, I have to wait for a while."

After saying that, he quickly turned on his horse and returned with his sword.

After a long time.

Pound turned back again.

At this moment, he was holding a head in his hand.

On Guancheng.

Zhao Tong stood here, taking advantage of the wide view after closing the door, he glanced at the head held by Pang De who turned back, and he couldn't help but smile knowingly and said: "That's it!"

He made suggestions to capture and surrender Pound, and now it seems that he has succeeded.

In the original history, Pound did not follow Ma Chao in the expedition because he was ill. In the end, Ma Chao abandoned him and surrendered alone, which almost led to Zhang Lu's execution.

After this incident, Pang De no longer had a good impression of Ma Chao.

This led to Pound later swearing to be loyal to Boss Cao. Even if Xiangfan was captured, he would die without changing his expression.

Precisely because he was familiar with this period of history, Zhao Tong did not want the Xiliang warrior to leave just now, so he added another icing on the cake on the basis of Fazheng's suggestion to surrender Ma Chao and asked Pang De to surrender.

It seems that bribing Yang Song to suggest detaining Ma Chao and his family members, and later breaking into the city to rescue him, were all part of Zhao Tong's plan to lure Pang De out of Hanzhong!

Now it seems that this strategy is still successful.

At this moment, Pound has not experienced the abandonment plot in the original history, but he is still willing to continue to follow Ma Chao.

When Pang De came to join him, Ma Chao discovered Zhang Wei's head and naturally laughed it off. After many years of tacit understanding, he understood his intentions.

Then, he just patted his arm heavily and said, "Ling Ming, you and I will continue to fight side by side in the future."

When Pang De took advantage of his unpreparedness and beheaded Zhang Wei and surrendered, the various units of the Hanzhong Army also fell into chaos and dispersed into birds and beasts.

As this battle comes to an end.

Naturally, Zhang Lu no longer had the energy to continue sending troops to invade.

The threat from Hanzhong was temporarily relieved.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bei continued to order Huo Jun to lead his troops to garrison Baishui Pass to guard against Hanzhong.

The remaining military forces and the newly defected Ma Chao troops continued to advance along Luocheng in a mighty manner.

But the situation in northern Sichuan is just the beginning.

Next, good news came frequently from all parties.

Since Liu Bei led his troops to the north, he sent people to Jingzhou to request reinforcements to enter Sichuan.

After Zhuge Liang receives the military report.

The following deployments were also made immediately:

First, Jingzhou Yinsui was handed over to Guan Yu, and all military and political affairs were handed over to him.

After the handover is completed.

Zhuge Liang had just mobilized another 20,000 troops, including 10,000 infantry and 10,000 naval troops, and marched along Jiangxi with Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Liu Feng and others.

We quickly passed through Xiaoting and crossed the natural barrier of Wu Gorge.

Along the way, they defeated Baidi City, Kuiguan, Quren, Linjiang and other places.

In a short period of time, with Zhuge Liang's step-by-step advancement, they quickly swept across the entire Badong County.

Later, Zhang Fei led 10,000 horsemen in front, marched south to Bajun, and attacked Jiangzhou, the seat of government.

The man stationed in Jiangzhou is naturally the veteran general Yan Yan.

The development of the plot seems to be the same as the original history.

After Zhang Fei led his troops to reach the foot of the city, there was no success in persuading them to surrender. Jiangzhou was too majestic and fortified to be broken, resulting in a brief stalemate.

Zhang Fei also designed to lure Yan Yan out of the city with his troops and captured him as he did in the original history.

In the end, the script is exactly the same as the original story, with Zhang Fei interpreting Yan Yan in the government office of Jiangzhou.

I heard that the Bajun government office was quickly captured.

Zhuge Liang, who was reorganizing Badong County, quickly led his main troops to join him.

After the army gathered together.

The rest of the cities in Bajun will be decided by spreading the message quickly.

Immediately afterwards, Zhuge Liang conveyed the next order again.

A naval force led by Zhao Yun continued southward along the waterway and entered Jiangyang.

Zhang Fei, on the other hand, led a group of infantry and cavalry northward along the Dianjiang River to attack Brazil County.

Zhuge Liang then led most of his troops to enter Deyang via the Dianjiang River and the waterway.

The Jingzhou army marched in three directions starting from Jiangzhou.

With the help of Yan Yan, Zhang Fei fought continuously and successfully after entering the territory of Brazil County. He quickly pacified the entire territory of Brazil, and then diverted his troops from Anhan to join Zhuge Liang's troops.

Zhang Fei and his troops had just arrived in Deyang.

Zhuge Liang also commanded various troops to defeat the Yizhou Army, which was supported by Zhang Yi and his troops from Chengdu.

At this point, the Jingzhou Army has removed all obstacles to marching into Chengdu.

The capital Chengdu is already within easy reach!

On the other hand, after Zhao Yun led his navy to the south, he quickly captured Jiangyang, then went north via Jiangshui to enter Jianwei County, and captured the important town of Zizhong.

With good news from all parties spreading frequently.

Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, and Zhang Fei marched one after another and met at the gates of Chengdu.

…

At this time, at the foot of Luocheng City.

After Liu Bei led his main troops to achieve a great victory and returned to the camp, he also received news of the victory from reinforcements from Jingzhou.

At this moment, all the soldiers under his command were in high morale and fighting spirit.

Liu Bei then keenly seized the opportunity and personally went into battle to supervise the battle. All his troops violently attacked Luocheng.

At this moment, Pang Tong also led Li Yan and others to attack from behind.

Under several pincer attacks, the defenders of Luocheng had already lost their will to fight after Zhang Ren was captured.

Therefore, it was a hard battle to continuously attack the city for nearly half a month.
