Nan'an County Administration, Di Dao.
Since the defeat of Chengdu in October last year, Xu Huang, under the guidance of Fa Zheng, led Fu Youde and Zhang Xian to raise 50,000 troops, crossed the mountains of Guanghan County, and attacked Mianzhu Pass, cutting off the retreat of Liu Zhao's coalition army in one fell swoop.
In desperation, Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to abandon Ruoxian County with Liu Yu and retreat westward along the lofty mountains and mountains of Yinping to Hanzhong.
After passing Wenshan County, the road became more and more rugged, and in the end there was not even a mountain road, and it was necessary to build the road while marching.
The speed of the Liu-Zhao coalition's march dropped from 50 miles a day to less than 30 miles a day.
According to this marching speed, it would take at least three months for the Liu-Zhao coalition army to get out of the mountains and mountains in the west of Yizhou, and according to the normal marching speed, the Han army would have already arrived outside Hanzhong at that time.
Whether Hanzhong can hold on has little to do with Zhao Kuangyin, but Hanzhong is Liu Yu's lifeblood.
In a hurry, Liu Yubing made a dangerous move, parted ways with Zhao Kuangyin, led 50,000 horses to kill a horse gun, and turned around to kill Benluo County.
Liu Yu thought that he could surround Wei to save Zhao, and even exchange Hanzhong for Chengdu, but who knew that it was a dream of Huangliang when he came, and buried 50,000 horses and the lives of Zhou Yafu and Chang Mao, not to mention, even he was imprisoned, and in the end he was even tragically "blackhanded" by Liu Wei.
After Liu Yu turned south, Zhao Kuangyin and Chang Yuchun continued to lead 50,000 horses to march north, and the weather became colder and colder.
Coupled with the heavy snow and slippery roads, Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to stop and go, stop and go, while sending scouts to closely contact Liu Yu.
After the heavy snowfall, Zhao Kuangyin continued to march north, and only after Jiangyou did he get the bad news that Liu Yu's entire army was annihilated, and then suddenly realized that the Han army was likely to follow and pursue.
Only then did Zhao Kuangyin send people to destroy the road and block the pursuit of the Han army as if he had just woken up from a dream.
It's a pity that the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, although Zhao Kuangyin's team destroyed the road, but after three consecutive days of heavy snowfall, the snow was knee-deep, and the army could not march at all.
Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to give the order to go down, and the army was temporarily stationed in Jiangyou, and then continued to march north after the snow melted.
People who are unlucky will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water, just when the heavy snow in Jiangyou is fluttering, there is only a light snow in the Wenshan area of four hundred miles to the south, which does not affect Sun Wu's catching speed at all.
In addition, Zhao Kuangyin's team opened the road in front, opened the road in the mountains and filled the bridge in the water, and made a wedding dress for the Han army in vain; Just when Zhao Kuangyin was trapped in Jiangyou, Sun Wu led his troops to chase more than 400 miles north, getting closer and closer to Zhao Kuangyin's men.
When the Han army approached Jiangyou, the snow all over the mountains became thicker and thicker, and it was no longer possible to continue the march from the ankle to the knee, so Sun Wu had to order a temporary camp in the county town of Silkworm along the way, and then chase after the snow melted.
After the heavy snowfall, a cold snap came unexpectedly, and the snow could not melt for a long time.
The anxious Zhao Kuangyin and Chang Yuchun could only continue to wait in Jiangyou for the weather to get warmer, and at the same time sent scouts to the north to brave the snow to contact Zhang Lu, Hu Yanzan and others, who were guarding Tianshui, and asked the two to send troops to respond.
After being trapped in Jiangyou for nearly half a month, the cold snap receded, the weather warmed, the snow melted most, and it was able to continue the march.
Zhao Kuangyin and Chang Yuchun led the army to leave Jiangyou and go north with all their might, while Sun Wu led Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Yu Ziqi, Wu Yi and others to urge 50,000 Han troops to catch up.
In the snow, the two teams braved the bitter north wind, separated by a distance of one hundred and fifty miles, and traveled north.
One desperately fled, one pursued with all his might, like two long dragons in the mountains and mountains in the west of Bashu, the Han army could not catch up with Zhao Kuangyin for a while, but the team led by Zhao Kuangyin could not get rid of the Han army.
After nearly a month of pursuit, Zhao Kuangyin and Chang Yuchun finally crossed the lofty mountains and mountains of Yinping and entered the relatively flat territory of Wudu County, and there were only 300 miles left to the east from Hanzhong.
At this moment, the scout sent unfavorable information, saying that Xu Huang led Fu Youde, Zhang Xian and others to raise 60,000 troops, occupied Ma Ming Pavilion, and blocked the way for the army to enter Hanzhong eastward.
If Zhao Kuangyin continues to lead his troops to the east, he will not be able to break through Xu Huang's interception in a short period of time, and after being caught up by Sun Wu from behind, he will fall into a desperate situation of being caught between the front and back.
After listening to the scout's report, the military advisor Zhao Pu immediately made a calm analysis: "That Xu Huang is one of the few generals in the Han army, who has been fighting horses for many years and is familiar with the art of war, and now he occupies the geographical advantage of Ma Mingge, I am afraid that he will not be able to pass in a short time."
It seems that we have no chance with Hanzhong, so for the sake of safety, we can only abandon Hanzhong and withdraw north to Tianshui and Guangwei."
Hanzhong can be protected, can not be protected then abandoned, the 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hand is already Zhao Kuangyin's last capital, naturally will not take easy risks, immediately follow Zhao Pu's suggestion, ordered the whole army to turn around and march to the northwest, ready to retreat from Qiangdao and Lintao all the way, and get rid of the front and rear attacks of the Han army.
Zhao Kuangyin has Zhao Pu to help him give advice, and Xu Huang also has two staff officers, Fa Zheng and Zhang Song.
Moreover, Zhang Song and Fa Zheng were familiar with the terrain of Bashu, and they knew it well, and after learning that Zhao Kuangyin was fleeing in the direction of Qiang Road, they immediately suggested that Xu Huang go north to Hechi to intercept Zhao Kuangyin.
So in the howling cold wind, the three teams started a chase, Xu Huang blocked in front, Zhao Kuangyin fled in the middle, and Sun Wu chased behind.
After a month's circle, the Han army finally surrounded Zhao Kuangyin's more than 40,000 men and horses in the territory of Di Dao at the end of the first month, forcing Zhao Kuangyin and Chang Yuchun to lead their troops into Di Dao and defend the city.
The 110,000 Han troops quickly approached the city and surrounded Di Dao.
Di Dao is the seat of Nan'an County, there are about 20,000 residents in the city, and the "White Horse General" Pang De, who first followed Ma Teng and then descended to Cao Wei, is a native of Di Dao.
Because many years ago, the Di people often passed through here and entered to harass the Han people, hence the name.
At the end of the first month, the sun gradually warms up, and the snow begins to melt, revealing the earthy yellow color of the mountains when the snow fades.
Zhao Kuangyin and Chang Yuchun stood on the city wall, looking at the Han army camp that stretched for more than ten miles at their feet, only to see flags waving and swords and guns covering the sun, which made the eyes of the two full of despair.
"It seems that there is no way to escape" Chang Yuchun's eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes flashed with hatred.
Zhao Kuangyin stroked his beard and laughed: "Even if there is no way to escape, so what, even if I am killed now, I, Zhao Kuangyin, have also been a prince, and I have no regrets when I die."
Seeing Zhao Kuangyin smiling so proudly, Chang Yuchun's eyes couldn't help but look with disgust: "You have become a prince, but I can only send people under the fence and look up to your snort."
If you hadn't used conspiracy against me and used the yellow robe to harm me, I would not have come to this point in Chang Yuchun, and my son Chang Mao would not have died under the arrows."
Zhao Kuangyin was stunned for a moment, but refused to admit it: "You don't want to spew blood here, you and I were drunk at the beginning, or did you propose the yellow robe to add to the body, betray Liu Wei with me, compete in the world, and do something big vigorously."
But now you blame me for hurting your father and son."

"You are talking nonsense" Chang Yuchun was furious, and grabbed Zhao Kuangyin's clothes with both hands, "When you and I were in yellow robes, we were surrounded by your generals.
Now I came to bite back, saying that it was my proposal to betray Liu Wei, you capricious villain, believe it or not, I smashed you to death on the city wall with an old fist" Zhao Kuangyin was not to be outdone, and also grabbed Chang Yuchun's clothes and scolded loudly: "Okay, you are a butcher who turns his face and doesn't recognize people, it was you who killed innocents indiscriminately in Lujiang and were impeached in the court."
You were transferred back to Wancheng by Yue Fei to garrison, you were depressed in your heart, and you encouraged my brothers to rebel with you, but now you are relying on me Your fist can beat people, can't I Zhao Kuangyin's fist beat people?"
Zhao Pu hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade: "The lord is angry, General Chang, please calm down, now that the enemy is present, it is time to unite as one and share the same hatred for the enemy."
How can you mess up your own position and start a conflict at home?"
"There is no way to escape, everyone stretches their necks and waits for death" Chang Yuchun pushed Zhao Kuangyin away hatefully, and said with a depressed face.
Zhao Pu raised his eyes to look east, and found that a team of twenty or thirty thousand people was coming, and he could vaguely see the surnames such as "Zhang and Huyan" written on the flag, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "General Chang, don't be discouraged, don't you see that Zhang Lu and Huyanzan's reinforcements are coming." t1706231537:
