Chapter 193: The Battle of Hanzhong (Part 1)

Views:

After months of fighting, Liu Xun finally solved Zhang Yan’s Montenegrin army, and more than 20,000 Montenegrin soldiers were taken down before and after. Liu Xun eliminated the old, weak and sick and disabled the retired Montenegrin soldiers, leaving 20,000. The remaining strong and strong were reorganized into four battalions and incorporated into the Han army sequence. And Liu Xun handed over all these Black Mountain Army to Guan Yu.

Liu Xun also left the generals such as Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, and Liao Hua in Jingzhou, greatly enhancing the strength of the Han army in Jingzhou. After arranging all the affairs of Jingzhou, Liu Xun led his army back to Hanzhong and joined forces with Pang Tong and Zhang Fei's army to prepare to attack Hanzhong.

On the west side of Jigu, the source of the Han River, this place is the place where Liu Xun's army is Anzhai.

Yingzhai is on a hill, next to a curved line of Han River, and there are high platforms on the four corners of the wall. Looking from a distance, I saw that the camp was endless, ups and downs. Like clusters of fine waves rising on the ocean surface of Hao **, the patrol soldiers holding a halberd and holding the blade, lined up between the camps, and the neighing of war horses was heard from time to time.

This time, Liu Xun's army dispatched a total of 100,000 troops. There are heavy cavalry, light cavalry, heavy infantry, light infantry, and crossbow soldiers, especially Liu Xun's Xuanjia Army, White Ear Soldiers, and even crossbowmen of Zhuge Liannu Camp. It can be said that all the elites are exhausted. It can be seen that Liu Xunjun is already inevitable for Hanzhong.

In Liu Xun's Great Account of the Chinese Army, the mainstays of the army, and the generals and advisers have gathered together.

Liu Xun glanced at the generals and said, "Hanzhong has been operating for several years by Zhang Lu, and the city’s defense facilities are excellent. Our army has hardly encountered any resistance along the way since Zhang Lu’s victory. Obviously it was Zhang Lu. They are gathering strength and intend to fight offensive and defensive battles with our army. What ideas do you military divisions and generals have to break this deadlock

"Lord, is this still necessary? As long as the lord assigns an army to Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang will surely take Hanzhong, so that these Hanzhong thieves can see and see how powerful Lao Zhang is."

Needless to say, at this time, apart from Zhang Fei, there is absolutely no second person among Liu Xun's army who said this.

Liu Xun glared at Zhang Fei, and then smiled apologetically at Zhang Hui, who was the head of the big account, and said: "General Zhang Hui, General Zhang Fei has always had a bold personality and kept his mouth open. It was not intentional to spread to the general. Hope the general. Don't blame it."

Zhang Hui stabbed Yang Zhi to death with his own ability after he recovered from his injury. Under the persuasion of Zhang Fei and Wei Yan, he joined Liu Xunjun's camp. Zhang Hui grew up in Hanzhong since he was a child and knows almost all the terrain of Hanzhong. It is precisely because of his presence that Liu Xunjun can come here safely from Yangping Pass. On this road, Zhang Hui broke through three teams that were hiding in the cols and were planning to intercept food.

Zhang Hui was very moved when he saw Liu Xun taking into account his own feelings because of this trivial matter. He closed his eyes and tried to keep the tears from falling.

Zhang Hui stepped forward and said: "The lord, as the so-called knowing oneself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end. Huixian tells the generals what he knows. The generals are making decisions. Although Hanzhong has a large land and a large population, the talents are among them. Yan Pu is the only one who catches the eye. This person has a sharp vision, and the 18th chain camp under Yangping Pass is his idea. If Hui is not wrong, there are now 50,000 soldiers in Hanzhong City. But with combat power In other words, our army can break through 5,000 soldiers in Hanzhong with one thousand. Another thing is that Yan Pu had already traveled to Chang'an to ask for help from Li Wei and Guo Bian when he heard that our army sent troops to Hanzhong. It is not known whether it will succeed. Up."

After the Fa was heard, a smile appeared between the corners of his mouth, and a clever plan had already been formed in my mind...

In Hanzhong County, at this time, the entire county was panicked, Yangping Pass was lost, and news of Zhang Lujun’s defeat had spread to the city. It was almost in a state of turmoil, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.

In the meeting hall of the county government office.

Zhang Lu gave the letter paper in his hand to Yan Pu, his most trusted counselor, and said: "This is the trustworthiness sent by Zhang Huipai’s henchmen. He said that it was Yang Zhi who abandoned him in Zhang Fei’s camp in order to survive. Later, he slandered him for surrendering to the enemy. He also killed his family. In order to avenge him, he was forced to join Liu Xun's army. Now he is revenge and is willing to bring five thousand elite soldiers to surrender."

When Zhang Kui heard this, he was unhappy. Zhang Hui's younger brother ordered the beheaded himself. Now if he was identified, wouldn't it be his own mouth

"No, I definitely can't get that guy Zhang Hui back."

Zhang Kui warned himself.

"General Yang Zhi is dead now, Zhang Hui can say anything, eldest brother, you can't believe Zhang Hui, a traitor."

Hearing what Zhang Kui said, Zhang Lu frowned. He knew just how talented his younger brother was. At best, there will be a little martial arts and some small tricks. I ignored Zhang Kui at the moment, and asked, "Junior Yan, what do you think?"

Just after reading the letter, Yan Pu said: "Zhang Hui is a loyal person, and Pu knows very well about him. He is loyal and will never be a backer. Yang Zhi's slander of Zhang Hui's collaborating with the enemy is absolutely false. But now Zhang Hui Having joined Liu Xun's army, there is no reason for betrayal."

Zhang Lu nodded and agreed with Yan Pu's statement. He has some abilities in government affairs, but he is somewhat self-aware in terms of strategy, knowing that he is absolutely inferior to Yan Pu, so he asked: "Junior Master Yan, look at this matter, how should you deal with it."

Yan Pu smiled slightly and replied: "Don't worry, the lord, Pu will want Zhang Hui to come back."

The night is quiet, and the moonlit night is in the sky. A figure turned over Yang Song's mansion and sneaked into Yang Song's mansion quietly. Needless to say, this person is exactly Zhao Yun who followed Zhang Kui's defeated army into Hanzhong.

Zhao Yun avoided the housekeeper who was on night patrols from time to time. According to the house construction practice of the Han Dynasty, he came to one of the largest houses in the east and climbed in from the window.

Seeing the luxurious furnishings in the house, he couldn't help but smile. By the moonlight, Zhao Yun came to Yang Song's bed lightly. I saw a small and insignificant man resting with a gorgeous woman. Although Zhao Yun was already married, his face blushed and he was psychologically nauseous. I didn't spit it out after holding back.

"Humph" Zhao Yun snorted coldly.

A soft snort, in this silent night, also appeared unusually loud. The first to wake up was Yang Song's wife Murong, who opened her eyes in a daze. As soon as he was in Murong's neck, he was hit by Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun stunned him with a severe blow.

Yang Song was also awakened at this time. Zhao Yun quickly grabbed the bedside socks and stuffed them into Yang Song's mouth, letting go of the battlefield murderous intent, and sneered: "Be aware of it, or I will kill your dog." He took out a short sword. He scratched Yang Song's wretched face a few times.

Yang Song was originally timid, but after Zhao Yun's fright, there was still half the courage to say nothing. His mouth was blocked and he couldn't make a sound, so he could only make a "woo woo" sound to express his meaning.

Zhao Yun let go and said coldly: "Come out with me."

Yang Song drooped his head and followed Zhao Yun to the outer hall of the bedroom. Zhao Yun coldly looked at Yang Song who was at a loss, knowing that he had left an indelible impression in Yang Song's heart, and it was time to sweeten Yang Song.

He took out a handful of small pearls from his arms and placed them on the wooden table aside. These dazzling pearls, rolling on the table, there are dozens of them.

A greedy and lustful person has a certain understanding of the prices of treasures. Yang Song is naturally no exception. With pearls the size of a little finger, Yang Song was dumbfounded, showing a disgusting appearance.

Zhao Yun suppressed the disgust in his heart and asked faintly: "Master Yang, do you want it?"

Yang Song nodded mechanically, but after another thought, his life was still in the hands of the wicked villain in front of him. If he could save his life, he would be Amitabha, so he wanted to be greedy for money.

Thinking of this, Yang Song secretly squeezed a cold sweat, and said flatly: "This pearl belongs to the uncle. Only the dragon among the grandfather like the uncle is qualified to own these pearls. Where does the villain deserve it." It was Zhao Yun's turn to be stunned. He didn't expect Yang Song to be so good at shooting horses. It was just a small thing, and the feeling that Yang Song said was different.

He returned to his senses and said: "To tell you the truth, I am the confidant of the'General' Liu Xun. I came here today and asked you to help me. If Mr. Yang is willing, these pearls and these treasures are all yours."

As Zhao Yun spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his arms and poured all the pearls, golden beans, gems, and beautiful jade inside onto the table.

He ignored Yang Song and continued: "Of course this is only a small part. You also know that Hanzhong County is now strictly guarded and cannot bring too many babies in. But you can rest assured that as long as it is done, General Liu Xun will Reward you with a higher value baby. But..." Zhao Yun said, "If you don't agree." With a bang, the arm of the chair where Zhao Yun was sitting was torn apart by one of his palms. "You know the consequences." "

Zhao Yun lost both soft and hard, and got very good results. It is obvious that Yang Song has only one way to go, one is to die. The other is to get large sums of money. Even fools know to choose the second one. What's more, Yang Song is not stupid, and Yang Song cherishes his life so much.

Yang Song looked at the table of treasures with confused eyes, and shouted excitedly in his heart: Not only do not die, these treasures in front of him are mine, these treasures are mine, these treasures are mine...

When Zhao Yun saw Yang Song's face, he secretly warned himself that he must not let this greedy and unjust villain join Liu Xunjun's camp to ruin Liu Xunjun's good manners. Thinking of this, Zhao Yun's eyes flashed murderously, and he made a secret decision in his heart. He asked: "The next night, among the three gates, east, south, and west, which door can you open?"

Yang Song didn't dare to neglect, without even thinking about it, he quickly replied, "South Gate."
