Just when Cao Peng was managing Xichuan and training troops to garrison grain.

Cao Cao led his troops to march westward to Hanzhong, and his troops were divided into three groups.

Cao Ren on the left side, Xiahou Yuan on the right side, and Cao Cao personally led the central army.

Dian Wei was also behind and escorted the food and grass.

Cao's army was about to come to Zhang Liu and immediately received the news, so he summoned his brothers to discuss countermeasures to retreat to the enemy.

Although some rumors spread about the relationship between Zhang Lu and Cao Peng.

But these two people did not have too much interaction on the surface, so these things can only be regarded as nonsense.

At least Cao Cao thought so, maybe Lao Cao still believed in his nephew from the bottom of his heart and could not cheat him like this.

Zhang Lu has a brother named Zhang Wei, who has some military talents.

When the military map was opened, Zhang Wei pointed out that the most dangerous pass in Hanzhong was Yangping Pass.

"We can set up more than 10 camps along the mountains around Yangping Pass to fight against Cao's soldiers!"

Zhang Lu thought it was feasible and immediately adopted the strategy, but the strategist said.

"The front line is too long, and the food and grass on our side are afraid that it will not be able to support such a long war."

Zhang Lu laughed and said, "I am speechless and worried. We can't get everything about food and grass, and I can't use it all, I have my own way!"

Everyone asked curiously, what exactly did Zhang Lu do? However, Zhang Lu did not answer.

Of course he could not tell everyone about his and Cao Peng's frustrations.

The place where food and grass are supplied is Xichuan.

Although Zhang Lu didn't say it clearly, Zhang Wei felt that Zhang Lu was not joking, so he led the army to Yangping Pass to set up a camp.

...

When Cao Cao led the central army to fight, he had already heard that Yang Pingguang was prepared, so there was more than 10 miles in front of the light, and Zhao Xiaolin was there.

Sima Yi was the chief clerk of the army and was always by Cao Cao's side.

Sima Yi bowed and said, "King of Wei, do you know if you want to talk about some rumors?"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "But it's okay. Since you already know it, it's not a rumor."

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Actually it's nothing. I just heard that General Cao Peng seems to have colluded with Zhang Lu from Hanzhong..."

Cao Cao's face turned solemn, as was Cheng Yu next to him.

"Zhongda, you can't talk nonsense!" Cheng Yu reminded.

Sima Yi immediately pretended to understand everything and bowed, "Thank you Mr. Zhongde, I've been silent, it's fine for the King of Wei to listen..."

Cao Cao's face remained silent and asked the two to retreat.

Afterwards, Xu Chu was called.

"Xu Chu, let the Huwei check, what does Cao Peng and Zhang Lu have to do with each other?"

When Xu Chu heard this, he immediately spoke, "King of Wei, don't listen to those rumors."

Cao Cao wanted to laugh after hearing this. Xu Chu was just thinking about his brain. The meaning of defending Cao Peng was too obvious.

"It's really okay? If you're so sure, I'll call Huwei to ask."

Xu Chu dared not hide it from Cao Cao's deception.

"Hey, you are the King of Wei, too, it's just that General Cao Peng married Zhang Lu's daughter."

Cao Cao's face suddenly changed, it was just that.

"Can you not report such a big thing to me? It seems that you are already suitable for Cao Peng to wear a pair of pants."

Cao Cao said this because he was furious. To be honest, he definitely didn't think so in his heart.

Xu Chu hurriedly explained: "Don't you know what's wrong with that guy Cao Peng?

It's normal for him to play with women..."

Cao Cao waved his hand, he didn't want to talk nonsense to this guy with a well-developed limbs and simple mind.

What does this guy know? Cao Peng has already played with the woman.

Thinking about it all the way, Cao Cao had already discovered Cao Peng's affairs, not just playing with women.

Just then, outside the battle, there was a sudden shouting sound.

“What happened outside?”

Cao Cao was a cautious person, and the disaster of war was right in front of him. How could he sit still? So he asked in a hurry.

Xu Chu pushed the tent and said, "The enemy is coming to attack at night. Please be Wang Anzuo, I will definitely not let them in."

It turned out that Zhang Wei's army came to fight.

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren had already gathered their troops and fought with the enemy.

Even though he was hasty, Cao Cao's soldiers were not vegetarians, and they defeated the enemy in a moment.

Sima Yi said: "The enemy is probably just here to test them, not planning to attack."

Cao Cao also thought this was the case, so he ordered Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan to lead their troops to advance.

As a result, on the second day, on the mountain road, the mountains were dangerous and the woods were noisy.

The suspicious Cao Cao was terrified when he walked in this forest.

"Damn it, if I had known it was such a remote place, I would not have raised an army to attack Cao Peng, so I would have left it for him!"

The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more angry he became, and he felt that Cao Peng was making a joke.

I still want to capture this Hanzhong land in front of him, which seems really stupid now.

Cheng Yu advised, "Lord, now the army has arrived, and we are in a dilemma, so we can only grit our teeth and advance."

That's right, that's the case, Cao Cao could only sigh secretly and continue to lead the army forward gritting his teeth.

Hard work pays off. The soldiers who were exploring the way forward came to repay him. They met Zhang Weizhaizhaizhai.

Cao Cao just wanted to break through this place and continue moving forward, so he gave a reward.

"Whoever can capture the tent ahead, I will definitely have a reward."

Before the eleven people finished speaking, the sound of arrows suddenly came from all sides.

The enemy army came from the mountain, and Cao Cao was shocked.

"My lord, I will protect you and kill you quickly!" Xu Chu shouted loudly at this time, and the generals beside him rushed out.

Xu Chu's thinking is very clear. You must not be confused at this time. Only counterattack can suppress the opponent's firepower.

After repelling the enemy, Cao Cao immediately set up a camp.

But after a period of time, the Hanzhong army did not leave and the Cao army did not retreat, and it continued to be a stalemate.

Cao Cao was afraid of dragging the food out of the house, so he thought of a plan and immediately asked the army to set up the camp.

Zhang Wei thought that Cao Cao was planning to retreat, so he led his troops to charge again.

It happened that the day Cao Cao withdrew his troops, and the fog was filled with heavy fog.

When Zhang Wei's pursuit arrived, it was indeed Cao Cao's ambush.

Cao Cao's ambush strategy this time had a very good effect and defeated the enemy.

Zhang Wei wanted to run away, and there were people in the center who tried their best to protect her, but the situation was hopeless and Xiahou Yuan, who was catching up, slashed his head with a knife.

Cao Cao occupied Pingyang Pass, and the news came back to Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu felt sorry for his brother and died like this.

At the same time, a military meeting was immediately held to ask everyone what to do.
