The Three Kingdoms of the Lu family

The capture of Chenggu also means that Hanzhong has lost the natural danger of the Qinling Mountains, and the Meridian Valley has been unimpeded, completely open to the Bingzhou Army.

Lu Yi immediately sent elite soldiers back to Ziwu Valley, and informed the army on the other side of the valley to enter Hanzhong.

Afterwards, Lu Yi entered the county government office to sit down and ordered someone to call Wang Ping.

In fact, Wang Ping had never left the county office at all. As soon as Lu Yi heard about it, Wang Ping was immediately brought in by his personal guards. Seeing Lu Yi, he hurriedly saluted and said in a deep voice, "My lord sent me to come. orders?"

"Haha... General Wang, please sit down and talk. You are a native of Hanzhong. I wonder if General Wang can tell me the reality of Hanzhong?"

Lu Yi was very happy to see Wang Ping, this is a rare good general, and what is even more rare is that he climbed up step by step from the ranks and is proficient in battle.Words are also more polite.

Wang Ping was also very happy to see that Lu Yi did not treat him later, he saluted, then sat down on Lu Yi's head in surong, cupped his hands and said: "Even if the lord doesn't say anything, the last general will tell the lord this matter,

In the land of Hanzhong, Zhang Lu had a total of more than [-] soldiers and horses.About [-] of them are in Nanzheng, the remaining soldiers and horses, about [-], are stationed at Yangping Pass, and the rest are stationed in the county seat and near the gold guard in the eastern section.Beware of Jingzhou! "

When Lu Yi listened, he secretly screamed that it was dangerous. Luckily, Zhang Lu was only on guard against Jingzhou and Longyou. If he had also stationed troops in Ziwu Valley, he would really be in a panic this time. [

"Are you sure, there are [-] soldiers in Nanzheng now?" Lu Yi remembered something again. Chenggu is not too far from Nanzheng.

If Nanzhengzhong can send 1 people, he may have to abandon the city, cross the Han River to the north, guard the dangerous points, and wait until the follow-up army arrives.

At this time, Wang Ping's face showed sincere admiration, and he shook his head: "My lord, don't panic! The final general has to say. The timing of the attack chosen by the Bingzhou army is too perfect. If it is usual, Nanzheng will at least be a More than [-] garrisons,

But every spring, Zhang Lu would attack Brazil, and now there are only five thousand soldiers in Nanzheng at most!If the lord leads a large army to sneak attack at this time, Nanzheng can win a battle, and Nanzheng once, Hanzhong will be settled! "

"Are you attacking Nanzheng?" Lu Yi's eyes lit up suddenly, and then they darkened again.Now Nanzheng's defenses are empty, if he attacks, it is very likely to succeed in a surprise attack, the problem is that his army is still far away in Chang'an, even at the fastest speed, it will take ten days before the first batch of soldiers arrives.

Wang Ping saw that Lu Yi's expression was not right, he had a little guess in his heart, and suddenly he was surprised: "Could it be that the Lord's army is still in Chang'an, and has not entered Ziwu Valley?"

"That's right!" Lu Yi glanced at Wang Ping appreciatively. Although this person had never read a book, he was really familiar with military affairs. He only revealed a little information, and Wang Ping guessed it.

After chatting with Wang Ping for a while, Lu Yi finally had a general understanding of Hanzhong.At first he decided to give up Chenggu, but after learning that Nanzheng had only 5000 troops, Lu Yi made up his mind to defend Chenggu.

Even if Nanzheng sent reinforcements, as long as the scale does not exceed [-] people, it is not a problem at all to stick to it for seven or eight days.

...............

Chenggu was too close to Nanzheng, almost the second day after the Bingzhou army left Ziwu Valley and captured Chenggu, the news of Chenggu's fall spread rapidly throughout Hanzhong.

The people were shocked, the soldiers were shocked, and several people were terrified!

On the day when the news spread, Zhang Lu was not in Nanzheng, but was fighting fiercely with Liu Zhang's Yizhou soldiers near Brazil with his troops.Waiting for an opportunity to seize Brazil.

By the time he received the news, it was already three days later.

When he heard that the Bingzhou army had appeared from the Meridian Valley and captured Nanzheng, Zhang Lu almost fainted out of breath, and shouted, "Lu thief, you are so despicable! The old man has a grudge against you, don't dare to plot it!" I?"[

"My lord, if Nanzheng is lost, we will all die! Return to the army quickly and drive the Bingzhou army out of Hanzhong!" Beside Zhang Lu, General Yang Ren jumped up anxiously.

The rest of the Hanzhong generals were also extremely anxious.

There was only one middle-aged scribe who was quite calm. He was shocked when he heard that the Bingzhou army captured Chenggu, but he quickly calmed down and said loudly, "My lord, this is not the time to be angry. The Bingzhou army captured Chenggu, but it is not time to be angry." If you didn’t take the opportunity to attack Nanzheng, you must have too few troops to attack the city, so please give your lord an order to order Yangping to close General Zhang and Nanzheng General Yang to send troops together, and it’s important to take back the city first!”

"Yes! Master Yan is right!" Seeing that it was Yan Pu who spoke, Zhang Lu finally calmed down a little in his panic, and hurriedly ordered someone to bring pen and ink, wrote two military orders, and ordered them to be sent to Yangping Pass , Nanzheng two places.

Immediately, Zhang Lu, who learned of the fire in the backyard, was in a hurry all the way, and he didn't even want his luggage, but with bloodshot eyes, he rushed towards Chenggu.

A day later, both Yangping Pass and Nanzhengzhong received orders from Zhang Lu to counterattack with all his might.

The guard of Yangping Pass is Zhang Wei, the younger brother of Zhang Lu. He is responsible for guarding Yangping Pass and has great power. As early as when he learned that Chenggu had fallen, he brought four thousand soldiers and horses down along Yangping Pass and entered the Yangping Pass. In Baozhong, he collected scattered soldiers along the way and rushed towards Chenggu.

On the second day after Zhang Wei entered the army, Yang Bai, the Nanzheng defender, also led his soldiers and horses, and began to advance towards Chenggu, forming a pincer attack with Zhang Wei.

The city is solid and at stake!

The people in the city were also panicked.Lu Yi also had a premonition of the seriousness of the situation, and hastily ordered everyone to come to the county government to discuss matters.

Gan Ning, Zhang Xiu, Gao Shun, Hu Che'er and others will arrive one after another, as well as the surrendered general Wang Ping, who is also seated solemnly at this time.

Lu Yi's eyes were slightly cold, he glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Generals, spies have come to report that Yangping Guan Zhang Wei has brought four thousand soldiers and horses, together with Baozhong's one thousand defenders, to attack me Chenggu, In the same way, in the direction of Nanzheng, spies came to report, Liu Shoujiang Yang Bai is also ready to move, you say, the city is solid, are we fighting or defending?"

"Fight!" Gao Shun was the first to get up, expressing his attitude.

"Chenggu is an important place together with Ziwu Valley, we must not lose it!" Gan Ning also nodded, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

"But we only have more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and the people in the city are all for Zhang Lu!" Zhang Xiu was a little scrupulous, and expressed his worries.

Lu Yi nodded slightly, and he never thought that Hanzhong would have such a big reaction after he captured Chenggu.Even the natural danger of Yangping Pass was abandoned.

However, when it comes to the city in your own hands, You Qi will let it out so easily!

"General Wang, I don't know if you have a plan to retreat from the enemy."

Seeing Wang Ping's hesitant expression, Lu Yi's heart moved slightly, so he asked.

Wang Ping hurriedly cupped his hands, and said respectfully: "My lord, the general has an idea at the end. Yang Bai, the Nanzheng guard, has always been timid, and he is not a general! Why don't you order people to make a big fanfare outside Chenggu, thinking that the suspicious soldiers, Yang Bai If Bai saw it, he might not dare to attack. As long as Yang Bai is held back, Zhang Wei will come all the way from afar, and it will not be difficult to defeat him!"

"Good plan!"

Lu Yi's eyes lit up. Wang Ping's strategy seemed risky, but it was actually very feasible. He had also heard about Yang Bai, but he relied on his family connections to climb to a high position, and his ability was not very good.

Maybe it will work.

Thinking of this, Lu Yi's face darkened, and he looked at Wang Ping and said, "Wang Ping listens to the order! I order you to lead the troops of the headquarters immediately to set up banners and drums outside the city, as a plan for suspicious soldiers!"

"promise!"

Wang Ping never expected that Lu Yi would entrust him with such an important matter. His face was full of excitement, he hurriedly got up and cupped his fists, and then walked out quickly.

Seeing Wang Ping leaving, Zhang Xiu frowned slightly, and said puzzledly: "My lord, this Wang Ping is Zhang Lu's former army, and he has grasped the truth and reality of our army. Let him go out of the city. What if he escapes?"

"I believe in Wang Ping! This man is a loyal man. Since he has surrendered, he will not betray him easily!" Lu Yi said very firmly.

Then he began to discuss with the generals how to deal with Zhang Wei. Around afternoon, Wang Ping, who had left the city, also returned smoothly. He set up many banners around the city, and set up several empty camps, as a plan for suspicious soldiers.

None of the soldiers who went out with Wang Ping defected, and as many people went out, there were still as many people who came back.

This surprised the generals again, and Zhang Xiu looked at Lu Yi with a little awe.Respectfully said: "My lord is really astute, it's ridiculous that I doubt General Wang!"

Lu Yi smiled indifferently, his eyes were as bright as torches, but it was just that he had more knowledge of history books.

"The strategy of suspicious soldiers has been prepared. Now, we have to see if Yang Bai will be fooled! Come, send out spies, and let the general monitor Nanzheng's movements at any time!"

Standing on top of the city wall, Lu Yi said nervously...
