Chapter 531 Hanzhong Situation

In Hanzhong, in the drizzle, an army of 8000 troops is marching rapidly among the high mountains. Yizhou has recovered, but the situation in Hanzhong is not clear. Liu Jing's Hanzhong strategy became urgent.

This 8000-strong army is commanded by the general Zhao Yun, and Yizhou surrendered Wu Yi as the deputy general. They will rush to Dingjun Mountain to receive [-] Yizhou troops. After five days of marching, the team has entered the border of Hanzhong, and the distance from Dingjun Mountain close.

It was late spring at this time, and the weather was gradually getting hotter, especially in the valley, where the water vapor was transpiring, and it felt even more stuffy under the direct sunlight.

Zhao Yun reined in his horse and put his hands on the curtain to observe the surrounding terrain. They were marching in a wide valley, with steep mountains on both sides. The widest part of the valley was several miles, and the narrowest part was also one mile. In the middle of the valley was a rushing stream. , has not yet formed a river, the stream is about five or six feet wide, and the water flow is so clear that you can march barefoot in the water, and the deepest part only reaches the waist of a person. The cold stream makes people feel hot.

"General Zhao!"

There was a shout from behind, and when Zhao Yun turned his head, he saw Wu Yi galloping towards him. The two of them got along well and cooperated very well.

Although Wu Yi was only the deputy general of Zhao Yun, he didn't have any complaints. He knew that Zhao Yun had a high status in the Jingzhou army, second only to Huang Zhong and Wenpin, and even slightly higher than Gan Ning. Jing's special relationship.

In particular, Zhao Yun is generous and sincere, and he is famous all over the world. Wu Yi is convinced by him and is willing to be his lieutenant general.

And before leaving, Liu Jing also explained to him that he was asked to go to Hanzhong because only he could collect the [-] troops in Hanzhong, and he was wronged to accompany Zhao Yun on this trip, which will be reused in the future. There are Liu Jing's words , Wu Yi has nothing to worry about. [

He galloped forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "This place is less than fifty miles away from Dingjun Mountain, why not send scouts to find out the situation first, we will rest for an hour with the soldiers, what does General Zhao think?"

Zhao Yun readily agreed, "General Wu is right, let's rest here!"

Wu Yi quickly ordered the army to rest on both sides of the river bed, and sent a team of scouts to Dingjun Mountain to inquire about the news. The soldiers sat on the bank to rest one after another. Many of them took off their armor and lay down in the stream to take a shower.

At this time, Fazheng, the military adviser, sat beside Zhao Yun and asked with a smile, "General Zhao, are we going to take Hanzhong directly, or open up the Hanzhong Road first?"

Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and said: "The key is Shangyong's side. The state shepherd has urgently ordered to attack Shangyong. If Shangyong is captured, Gan Ning and Wei Yan will go north from Shangyong and join us in Hanzhong. We held back Zhang Lu's main force at Dingjun Mountain, and Gan Ning and Wei Yan captured Nanzheng. If it goes well, we will take Hanzhong directly; if it doesn't go well, the state herd may go north."

Fazheng nodded, "I understand, but Zhang Lu is very vigilant. If he makes mistakes, he will immediately change his strategy. General Gan and the others may not have a chance to capture Nanzheng. I suggest that we should sneak attack Nanzheng. Kill Zhang Lu by surprise."

Zhao Yun lifted his spirits. He knew that Liu Jing valued Fazheng very much, and praised him as a man with ingenious plans. Fazheng's suggestion was very meaningful. If Nanzheng could be taken, then half of Hanzhong would be captured.

Zhao Yun hastily asked Wu Yi to come here and told him Fazheng's suggestion. Wu Yi was also quite interested. He quickly fetched the map, spread it on the boulder, and said with a smile, "Mr. Fazheng's advice!"

Fazheng smiled. He looked at the picture on the map, pointed to the Nanzheng area, and said, "The Hanzhong Valley is actually located between the Zhongnan Mountain in the north and the Daba Mountain in the south. It is no different from the valley we are in now, only bigger If we take the official road, we will reach Dingjun Mountain directly, but if we take the Babei Trail, bypassing Dingjun Mountain from the south, we can reach Nanzheng City directly."

Zhao Yun thought for a while and said: "The key is that we don't know the situation of Nanzheng City, how many troops are there, and who is guarding it?"

Wu Yi interjected, "When I left Hanzhong a month ago and went south, I knew that Nanzheng City was guarded by Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei and Biejia Yang Song. I don't know if it has changed now."

Fazheng smiled and said, "If Yang Song is guarding it, then there is hope."

He and Wu Yi looked at each other, and both of them laughed, Zhao Yun asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Fazheng said: "Yang Song is very capable, but he is greedy for bribes and has a strong interest in interests. Interests outweigh loyalty. We can open a gap from him."

Zhao Yun pondered for a while and said: "The state pastor also told me that there are our people around Yang Song, and they can indeed be used." [

He said decisively: "Since this is the case, let's split up. General Wu will still go to Dingjun Mountain to recruit the old troops. Mr. Fa and I will take the trail to Nanzheng."

Wu Yi hesitated and asked him to recruit the old department alone. Will Zhou Mu allow this?

Zhao Yun understood the difficulty, so he patted him on the shoulder, stared into his eyes and said, "General Wu, just go to Dingjun Mountain, and I, Zhao Yun, will take care of everything!"

Wu Yi nodded silently, Zhao Yun's trust made him feel grateful.

. . . . . . .

The confrontation between the two armies in front of Dingjun Mountain has been going on for more than a month. The Yizhou Army occupied a high place and built a strong camp. He led an army of [-] to confront the Yizhou army.

Dingjunshan Dazhai is an important strategic stronghold in Hanzhong. It is the last dangerous place where the Daba Mountains enter the Hanzhong Valley. To deal with the expansion of Yizhou Army to Hanzhong.

But Zhang Lu never imagined that the defensive castle he worked so hard to build turned into a wedge for the Yizhou army to break into Hanzhong. The fortress had sufficient food, grass, and mountain springs, which could last at least half a year, but the fortress was easy to defend and difficult to defend. Attack, he attacked three times in a row, all failed miserably, lost thousands of troops, but gained nothing.

In the big tent, Zhang Lu was drinking alone. He also heard about the Jingzhou army's massive attack on Bashu, but he didn't know the specific situation.

It wasn't until Liu Jing attacked Bashu that Zhang Lu finally realized that he and Liu Zhang had become Liu Jing's two pawns. Liu Jing pretended to attack Shangyong in order to draw Liu Zhang's army into Hanzhong, restrain himself from the north, and prevent him from taking advantage of the chaos. Enter Shu, but Liu Jing's real goal is Bashu.

Zhang Lu was very worried. After Liu Jing took Bashu, he would definitely attack Hanzhong. He would attack from Yizhou and Shangyong. With the Jingzhou army's good fighting skills, would he be able to defend Hanzhong?

At this time, Yan Pu, the counselor, walked into the big tent slowly, and asked with concern: "The general seems to be in a bad mood today?"

Zhang Lu sighed, "I'm worried, let's live today, and I won't know tomorrow."

He waved his hand, "Sir, please sit down!"

Yan Pu sat down and asked cautiously, "Is the general worried about Liu Jing?"

Zhang Lu nodded, "Exactly. I don't know if he has captured Yizhou now, and will he continue to go north to attack Hanzhong?"

"The subordinates feel that Liu Jing's capture of Yizhou is not so fast. The most urgent task is to annihilate the Yizhou army in Dingjunshan, redeploy the defense, and use the dangerous terrain to keep the Jingzhou army out of the gate. If it is not possible, the general can Ask Prime Minister Cao for help."

"Humph!"

Zhang Lu snorted coldly, "Liu Jing is a wolf, and Cao Cao is a tiger. If you ask him for help, it is suspected that the sheep is going to the tiger's mouth. If this is the case, sir, please stop talking."

Yan Pu didn't expect that Zhang Lu would resist Cao Cao like this, so he had to smile wryly. At this moment, there was a rumbling sound of war drums outside the tent. Zhang Lu was startled, stood up and asked, "What's going on?" ?”

After a while, a soldier rushed in to report: "General, Wu Yi led the army to fight!"

"Wu Yi?"

Zhang Lu was surprised. The Yizhou army spies he caught some time ago said, Wu Yi went back to Bashu, why did he come back again?

At this time, Yan Pu asked from the side: "Is it the flag of the Yizhou Army, or has it changed?"

Zhang Lu suddenly understood that perhaps Zhang Lu had surrendered to the Jingzhou Army, and he asked nervously, "Where is the battle flag?"

The soldier shook his head, "I didn't hear about the humble position."

Zhang Lu immediately ordered: "Send troops to fight!"

The battle drums of the Hanzhong military camp were also rumbling. They hadn’t fought for nearly ten days. With the beating of the war drums, the Hanzhong army also began to cheer up. Recruiting, murderous.

Two miles away from them, an army of more than [-] people also lined up neatly. Under the sun, the helmets were bright and the swords were shining. Zhang Lu could see clearly that the opponent's banner was still blue. Yizhou battle flag, which made Zhang Lu feel relieved, which means that Wu Yi did not surrender to the Jingzhou army, and it also means that Yizhou has not yet been occupied by Liu Jing.

At this moment, Wu Yi rode up, escorted by dozens of generals, and shouted loudly, "General Zhang, please come out and talk!"

Zhang Lu hesitated for a while, and urged his horse to go forward. Hundreds of personal guards hurriedly guarded the left and right. The distance between the two was about dozens of steps. Zhang Lu asked loudly, "General Wu, what's the matter?"

Wu Yi clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Could you discuss it with the general, we would like to return to Bashu, and please ask General Zhang to let us retreat."

Yan Pu, who was following Zhang Lu, was overjoyed. This was a good opportunity to reorganize his defenses. He was about to persuade Zhang Lu to agree, but Zhang Lu said coldly: "I am not a vegetable garden in Hanzhong. You can come whenever you want, and leave if you want. Just go, if you want to go, you can leave the head!"

Wu Yi was furious, took off his iron gun and pointed at Zhang Lu, "In that case, let's fight to the death!"

Zhang Lu raised his head and laughed, turned around and asked the generals, "Who is willing to fight?"

A young general brandished a knife and shouted: "The last general is willing to fight!"

Seeing that it was Ma Qu, Zhang Lu nodded his head, "Ready to fight!"

Ma Qu urged the horse to charge forward, and the opposite opponent also changed. It was no longer Wu Yi, but the general Lei Tong. With a snake spear, he urged the horse to stab the enemy general. "Why didn't the general allow them to withdraw their troops? We can take this opportunity to clean up the pass."

Zhang Lu sneered and said: "It should be that the situation in Yizhou is not good, so Wu Yi was in a hurry to go back. I will not allow him to go back and drag them to death. When he hastily withdraws, our chance will come. The [-] Yizhou troops How can I not swallow it?"

Yan Pu nodded, "The general is really brilliant, and my subordinates admire him!"
