Cao Cao remained calm and composed and did not give up his strategic plan to conquer Hanzhong because of this.

For some reason, this time is definitely a God-sent opportunity.

According to the current situation in the world.

The Sun family in Jiangdong was involved in the transfer of Jingzhou.

As a result, the Sun and Liu families became entangled, and war broke out.

Now is his chance to defeat Hanzhong in one fell swoop.

How can I miss it?

Even if he knew that Ma Chao might go to Liangzhou himself.

He also remained firm in his heart.

As for Liangzhou, one should take a defensive stance to compete with it.

And as word of the changes in Liangzhou spread.

After hearing the news, Ma Chao ordered to increase the speed of his march and went to meet Yang Wanwan.

When Zhao Yun learned of this news, he was also keenly aware that the main force of Cao's army seemed to be taking action.

He also made a prompt decision to march along Dazhong in the north with his troops.

The troops were directed towards Qishan Fort.

In an instant.

All parties have their own plans.

Each plundered strategic locations.

Thinking that the upcoming decisive battle will be planned in advance.

Due to being implicated in various situations in Liangzhou.

Cao Cao has not yet considered the safety of Qishan Fort.

Zhao Yun had already marched along the Yinping Road to Tazhong, and then captured this place and held it in his hands.

Qishan Fort is the throat of Qishan Road.

Controlling this place is equivalent to cutting off the connection between Qishan Mountain and Wudu County.

It also enabled the Bashu land to get in touch with the Qiang people of various tribes in Liangzhou.

This also greatly responded to Ma Chao's layout.

There is room for advancement and retreat.

With the arrival of Ma Chao, more and more Qiang tribes who were taking a wait-and-see attitude began to respond to the call and raised troops to threaten the safety of Liangzhou.
