After solving the problem of spring plowing, Liu Chan focused on the affairs of the martial arts hall.

As the 'principal' of the Martial Arts Hall, Liu Chan almost accompanied the first-term students of the Martial Arts Hall to study.

For this reason, he invited many famous people to come as teachers.

Pang Tong, Wu Yi, Liu Ba, Li Yan, Xu Jing...

Anyone who is capable, famous, or has attained military attainments can be invited to give a lecture.

certainly...

In addition to liberal arts teaching, there are also many courses in martial arts.

One-man enemies such as swords, guns and sticks must have the skills to kill on the battlefield.

In addition to these, marching and fighting, setting up camps, tactical military formations, etc...

On the basis of theoretical knowledge, practical classes were also held.

For example, Liu Chan has held two military exercises in more than ten days.

One time was a marching military exercise. Liu Chan's son-in-law competed with the martial arts disciples of the first batch of Jiangwu Hall.

In the end, of course, the young master and his army won.

Although they have the potential to talk about martial arts, they are not as good as the young masters who have been trained by Liu Chan for several years.

After the military exercise, Liu Chan rewarded those who performed outstandingly in the military exercise, and he spent every day to enhance his feelings with the soldiers and win their hearts.

After that came the military formation exercise.

When marching and fighting, although "the troops are impermanent, the power and the water are impermanent," some military formations will still be set up based on the geographical environment and the characteristics of the army in order to maximize the army's combat effectiveness.

One-word Long Snake Formation, Two Dragons Emerging from Water Formation, Heaven and Earth Three Talents Formation, Four-Door Bottom Formation, Five Tigers and Herds of Sheep Formation, Six Ding and Six A Formation, Seven-Star Big Dipper Formation, Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation, Nine-Character Continuous Formation, House of Flying Daggers Formation .

First, practice the formation once, and then change it accordingly.

The head or tail of the one-word long snake formation is turned around to form a two-dragon water formation. The middle moves forward to form the Three Talents Formation of Heaven and Earth.

The two ends retreated to form a four-door pocket formation. They intersperse with each other and form a formation of five tigers and a flock of sheep.

Then arrange them according to the six Ding Liujia formation, that is, the Six Ding Liujia formation. Then half of it was pulled into a line, and the other half was like a four-door pocket array, that is, the Big Dipper array.

Make a circle and arrange the formation according to the Bagua formation, leaving eight exits and turning it into a square, which is the eight-door golden lock formation.

Arranged according to the nine palaces, each square of soldiers will be interspersed, gradually becoming one body, and intersecting with each other, that is, a nine-character continuous formation.

Eventually it became an ambush array.

The ten formations are endlessly changing and difficult to resist.

If you can quickly set up a military formation, you have an elite army. If the general in command can see the situation clearly and change the military formation, then the general in command can be said to have the ability to lead troops.

What Liu Chan wants to train is naturally an elite army!

...

Pang Tong of Chengdu was busy with spring plowing. Grain transport officials and civilian workers were like tireless ants, constantly sending grain, grass and military equipment gathered in Chengdu to Hanzhong. Hei can also knit clothes for a while to supplement the family income.

And Liu Chan led his team to train the first-term students of Jiangwu Hall and Jiangwu Yicong, in order to train an elite soldier.

More than ten days passed like this.

A hundred miles away in Hanzhong, war has been raging for more than a year.

It was already mid-March of the 24th year of Jian'an.

The game in Hanzhong touches the hearts of people all over the world.

As for why we want to fight around Hanzhong, it is naturally because Hanzhong, like Guanzhong, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Hefei and other places, is a battleground for military strategists.

For Liu Bei, Hanzhong was a must-pass through Guanzhong for foreign expansion, and it was also the gateway to Shuhan. It was also a place that Longzhong had to obtain when Zhuge Liang proposed a flanking attack on Cao Cao from the north and south.

For Cao Cao, Hanzhong was the bridgehead for his advance in Yizhou. There is an old saying that he can look down upon Shu from Long. If he occupied the Hanzhong Basin, he would have a bird's eye view of Yizhou from the topography, allowing Liu Bei to stand like a thorn in Yizhou's back.

From the time Liu Bei captured Yizhou, the battle between Hanzhong and Hanzhong began.

After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei took control of Jingzhou.

In 211 AD, he entered Yizhou at the invitation of Liu Zhang. After three years of hard fighting in Yizhou, Liu Zhang surrendered Chengdu in 214 AD.

Liu Bei's group was very happy, but while they were happy, Liu Bei got another bad news.

Cao Cao personally led an army of 100,000 people out of Guanzhong, intending to seize the Hanzhong area first.

When Liu Bei occupied Yizhou, the world was already divided into three parts.

Liu Bei first occupied Yizhou. If he was allowed to occupy Chengdu, wouldn't it be like the scene of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty?

The situation is even better.

At that time, the great ancestor Liu Bang only had the land of Yizhou, but now Liu Bei also has three counties of Jingzhou!

So Sun Quan couldn't sit still.

Sun Quan sent an envoy to return Jingzhou, but Liu Bei made empty promises, so he sent Lu Meng to attack the three counties in Jingnan.

Liu Bei reluctantly gave up the war in Hanzhong and led his army into Jingzhou to seize three counties.

This move was tantamount to handing Hanzhong to Cao Cao.

Zhang Lu was defeated and fled into Badi.

Cao Cao divided Bajun into "Samba", and appointed Pu Hu, Du Yi, and Ren Yueti, the former leaders of the Yi Yi minority tribe, as the prefects of Sanba.

The situation was critical, so Liu Bei had no choice but to return half of the Jing territory to Sun Quan, quickly led his army back to Yizhou, and ordered Huang Quan to meet Zhang Lu.

Unfortunately, it was too late, Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao captured Hanzhong, his momentum was like a rainbow, and Liu Bei's Yizhou obviously felt a lot of pressure.

And the one who felt the same pressure as Liu Bei was Sun Quan.

Cao Cao occupied Hanzhong. If the next step was to occupy Yizhou and eliminate Liu Bei, wouldn't the Sun-Liu alliance become a decoration?

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad. After Liu Bei's defeat, wouldn't it be his turn to be Sun Quan next?

While Liu Bei was hurriedly organizing a defense, Sun Quan suddenly raised an army of 100,000 to attack Hefei, which indirectly relieved the pressure on Yizhou.

After Cao Cao handled the affairs in Hanzhong, he commanded his troops and returned to the Central Plains.

Only Xia Houyuan, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Du Xi and others were left to garrison Hanzhong.

He also ordered Zhang He to wait for an opportunity to harass Erba's territory.

In 218 AD, Liu Bei led his troops to attack Hanzhong and sent Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, Wu Lan, Lei Tong and others to garrison Xiabian. They were defeated by Wei generals Cao Hong, Cao Xiu and others, and Wu Lan's general Ren Kui was beheaded.

Liu Bei stationed his army in Yangping and attacked Zhang He with ten elite troops at night. Zhang He personally led the troops to fight, but Liu Bei was unable to conquer.

So Chen Shi and more than ten battalions were dispatched to defeat Ma Mingge Road. Xu Huang led the troops to fight and defeated the Shu army, with countless casualties.

In the early battles, Liu Bei suffered frequent defeats.

In the Central Plains, Cao Cao did not dare to rashly support Hanzhong before taking down Sun Quan.

So he raised his troops and marched towards Ruxukou.

Wu general Gan Ning led a hundred cavalry to rob and kill Cao's camp. The morale of Cao's army was low, and Cao Cao was forced to withdraw.

In Hanzhong, although the Wei army fought well in the early stage, Xia Houyuan and others were severely lacking in troops, and reinforcements were far away. In addition, Hanzhong had been resettled before and had no popular base. All the expenses of the soldiers had to be transported from the rear of Wei.

The road to Shu was difficult to navigate and the transportation of supplies became more and more difficult, causing the Wei army to gradually become passive.

Soon after, Cao Cao launched the Battle of Ruxukou again. Sun Quan could not resist, so he surrendered to Cao Cao.

In early February, Liu Bei crossed from Yangping Pass to Mianshui River in the south and camped at Dingjun Mountain.

Three days ago, Xia Houyuan fell into Fa Zheng's plan and was beheaded by Shu general Huang Zhong.

The Wei army, led by Zhang He, retreated to the Yangping area for a final stand against the trapped beasts.

Liu Bei, who had been tense for several years, could finally relax a little.

Hanzhong, which he had planned for many years, seems to be in his hands. His long-cherished wish to revive the Han Dynasty can also see the dawn of victory!
