Guo Peng wrote the transfer document on the same day and sent someone to Chen State to give it to Gu Yong, who was still the prime minister of Chen State.

He asked Gu Yong to prepare to work in Lujiang County.

Then Guo Peng ordered Zao Zhi to be transferred back, preparing to wait until the strategy in the Guanxi area is over, Zao Zhi will be responsible for pulling up the military farming work in the Guanxi area and restoring the construction of Guanxi.

The documents were quickly delivered to Chen State and handed over to Gu Yong.

"Duke Wei transferred me to be the prefect of Lujiang?"

Gu Yong was a little surprised when he read his appointment document.

"Yes, this is written by Mr. Wei, and asked the Xiaguan to send it to Gu Xiang all the way."

The messenger replied so.

“Is this…a little inappropriate?”

Gu Yong was suspicious.

"This is the appointment of Duke Wei. If Gu Xiang has any doubts, he can personally ask. However, Gu Xiang, since it is the appointment of Duke Wei, I think you should accept it and then go to the post."

"But my tribe members... are all in Jiangdong."

Gu Yong looked at the messenger.

"Isn't that just right? Gu Xiang can still communicate with his tribe members. After all, he hasn't been back to Jiangdong for so many years. Mr. Wei is polite to Gu Xiang, so Gu Xiang should be happy."

Gu Yong frowned and felt that the meaning of the messenger was not right. After thinking carefully, he suddenly thought about something.

"Mr. Wei means..."

"What does Gu Xiang think? What does Duke Wei mean? Jiangdong has been a little uneasy recently. Duke Wei wants Gu Xiang to take care of his tribe members more."

The messenger smiled slightly, said goodbye and left, and went back to report his life.

Gu Yong immediately understood what Guo Peng meant.

After ten years, has this opportunity finally arrived?

In a pure northern regime, he kept working hard as a southerner, and his position of 2,000 stone has not been made for several years. Gu Yong also has his own goals and dreams in his heart. Now, Gu Yong hopes that he can move forward to the future.

So Gu Yong began to move forward towards the future.

At the same time, Pang Xi and Zhang Lu are also moving towards their respective futures.

In order to preserve his foundation and status, Zhang Lu, Pang Xi, in order to enhance his power and status, different goals and same ambitions, the two fought a decisive battle in Hanzhong.

The head general of Zhang Lu's side was Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei, who led generals Yang Ang and Yang Ren to lead 20,000 troops to defend Yangping Pass, and the path Pang Xi took was the path Zhang Lu had once walked.

When Liu Yan was still alive, he ordered Zhang Lu to lead his troops north to capture Hanzhong. After careful planning, Zhang Lu led his troops north from Chengdu.

He led his army to go out of Bailao Pass along the Jiange Plank Road and arrived at Mianyang. He first captured Yangping Pass, opened a gap from Yangping Pass, and then seized Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain, killed Su Gu, the then prefect of Hanzhong, and occupied Hanzhong.

Pang Xi used the same trick again and led his army to the north from the Jiange Plank Road, exit Bailao Pass, and arrived at Mianyang, and placed his target on Yangping Pass.

When Zhang Lu learned that Pang Xi's army was very large, he was a little nervous, so he ordered his younger brother Zhang Weijin to guard Yangping Pass.

As long as the gap is not opened at Yangping Pass, then Zhang Lu's march route was a dead end for Pang Xi. Even Zhang Lu, who was of great importance to Yangping Pass, asked Zhang Wei to hold Yangping Pass tightly. As long as there was no problem with the pass, Hanzhong would be safe and sound.

In fact, Zhang Lu also knew that Pang Xi had been competing with him for so many years, but in fact he was raising the bandits and he was the bandits he raised. Pang Xi did not take Zhang Lu at all.

But Zhang Lu wanted Pang Xi to know that this time, he would never let Pang Xi have a good time.

Is it so easy to come to my city and walk the way I came?

As long as there is no problem with Yangping Pass, everything will be solved.

Pang Xi led his troops to the vicinity of Yangping Pass and began to order the army to attack Yangping Pass. Various types of siege armies were varied and a full-scale attack was launched.

Yangping Pass is the western gateway of the Hanzhong Basin. Without conquering Yangping Pass, the army will not be able to enter the Hanzhong Basin unless the monkeys and gibbons in the mountains are climbing the steep peaks into the Hanzhong Basin.

Of course, for tens of thousands of troops, this is a brainless person, so attacking Yangping Pass is the only way to enter the Hanzhong Basin from west to east.

Of course, Pang Xi knew this. He brought enough troops and weapons, and prepared enough food for the army to fight for half a year. He was ready to fight Zhang Lu here, and swear to take down Yangping Pass to the death, rush into the Hanzhong Basin, and dismantle Zhang Lu.

Then the death in Yizhou opened.

Of course, Zhang Lu also understood this and knew that Pang Xi was going to step on him. For him, it was impossible to embezzle Yizhou with Hanzhong, and even the Northern Expedition could not be done.

After all, Hanzhong was too small, and Zhang Lu just wanted to settle down here. He used his **** regime to destroy the established political model of the Han Dynasty. In Hanzhong, there was no political structure related to the Eastern Han government, which was completely religious.

Zhang Lu was not only the head of the regime, but also the head of religion. He was both responsible for the regime and the government and the government were all his followers, so his rule was as stable as Mount Tai, unless there were powerful and irreversible external forces entering.

In Zhang Lu's opinion, Pang Xi is not qualified.

The war between the two began before Guo Peng sent troops. Pang Xi attacked Yangping Pass fiercely, and Zhang Wei defended Yangping Pass to death. The two fought for more than two months, and Pang Xi could not conquer Yangping Pass.

Just when Pang Xi was worried about this matter, suddenly one day, a young man who claimed to be a grain transport official asked to meet Pang Xi and said that he had a clever plan to advance to Yangping Pass, hoping to present it to Pang Xi so that Pang Xi could know.

Pang Xi was laughing at the small official who transported grain for not knowing the height of the world. Only Pang Xi was surprised, so he met the small official who transported grain.

"Who are you?"

"The name of the Xiaguan is Fa Zheng, and his courtesy name is Xiaozhi, and he is from Fufeng."

Pang Xi raised his eyebrows.

The Fufeng people also belong to Dongzhou people, they are their own people, Fazheng... Fufeng Fa clan?

"Is it the descendant of Mr. Xuande?"

"I am ashamed of my grandfather's reputation, and I am just a minor official."

Fa Zheng showed a look of shame on his face.

Mr. Xuande did not say Liu Bei, but Fa Zheng's grandfather. Therefore, Fa Zhen, a famous scholar in Fufeng who had been around for almost ten years, was called Mr. Xuande. He was famous in the academic world at the age of 88. He was a master.

Pang Xi didn't expect his grandson to fall into such a field.

So Pang Xi stepped forward and helped Fa Zheng up.

"Are you who came to Yizhou after Dong Zhuo's chaos?"

“That’s right.”

Fa Zheng nodded and said, "Short after my grandfather passed away, Dong Zhuo was in trouble in the court and the Guanzhong was in chaos. He had no choice but to join his family to Yizhou. Unfortunately, he was not familiar with Yizhou and could not be valued. He only became a minor official."

"That's how it is."

Pang Xi sighed for a while and said, "Did you say you have a clever plan to break through Yangping Pass?"

"That is, Yangpingguan City is tall, with a dangerous terrain and numerous defenders. If you don't need a plan and just attack, you don't know when it will take down. I think that you shouldn't spend too much force here."

Fa Zheng said seriously.

Looking at the young Fa Zheng, Pang Xi thought for a moment.

"Tell me, what do you think?"

Fa Zheng then revealed his thoughts and let Pang Xi know.

After hearing this, Pang Xi thought about it carefully and thought it really makes sense. If this is done, it can really break through Yangping Pass.

As long as the gap in Yangping Pass is opened and the overall situation is settled, he will not worry about anything.

"Okay! Just do it!"

Fa Zheng was very happy.

At this time, some subordinates dissuaded Pang Xi.

"General, this person is just a minor official, who is actually discussing military and national affairs. I am really worried about the general so trusting him!"

Pang Xi looked at it correctly and hesitated a little.

"General! Isn't the general's previous defeat in attacking the rebel Zhao Wei with his inferior forces, and he also took a gamble? The current situation is that the longer the delay, the more unfavorable it is for the general. The general needs to know that there are not many people opposing the general's Northern Expedition.

If it is delayed for a long time, Chengdu will change, the general's food supply will be unstable, and his achievements will be fleeting! Now it is in the enemy, not me. If the general wants to make achievements, he must make all his bets! He must speed up as much as possible! Absolutely, he must not delay!"

Fa Zheng loudly advised Pang Xi.

Yes, if it delays for a long time, who knows if something happens to Liu Zhang?

Liu Zhang has been quite willing to promote local officials from Yizhou recently. The number of those people is increasing. Is it a good thing for him?

If you don’t have strong credit and strength, isn’t that a disaster?

Hanzhong must be won, and it must be fast!

Pang Xi frowned, pursed his lips, and slapped the table.
Chapter completed!
