Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 416 Lock the three roads and seek Hanzhong (second update)
On the second day after the battle of life and death broke out in Hanzhong, in Chenggu, about five miles east of Nanzheng, the government office, there was an endless stream of at least [-] soldiers from Central Shu rushing forward.

In the long queue, the figures of Wu Yi and Fazheng appeared in front of them.

Not long after, a scout came suddenly on horseback. Wu Yi waved his hand lightly, and the army stopped immediately.

The scout got off his horse and cupped his fists and said, "General, according to investigations, there are only less than a thousand Cao troops in Chenggu."

"Hahaha" Hearing this, Fazheng laughed loudly, and said loudly: "Guan Yu is so confident that he only left less than a thousand troops in Chenggu. It seems that it is predicted that we will not send troops in Shu. La!"

"Xiaozhi, why did our army take down Chenggu? Nanzheng is the key!" Wu Yi frowned and said, there are only two roads out of Shu, namely the Jinniu Road and the Mi Cang Road, both of which are connected by Jiange. As the gateway, the Jinniu Road is more convenient. You can go straight to Nanzheng after passing Jianmen Pass, while the Micang Road has to go south to Xiazhong, pass through Langzhong, and cross Micang Mountain to Hanzhong. It will take a lot of time. Zhang Ren originally planned Commanding the whole army from Jinniu Road, rushed to Nanzheng and defeated Guan Yu.

However, Fazheng asked Wu Yi to take the lead in reorganizing the troops for three days. In any case, it was suggested that Zhang Ren divide his troops, leave Shu from Mi Cang Road, set off early, detour behind Nanzheng, and attack from both sides. Rugged, even so, compared to the original plan, it was much later.

"General, don't underestimate the solidity. If you use it well, you may be able to trap all of Guan Yu's tens of thousands of troops in Hanzhong," Fazheng said with a smile.

"Oh!" Wu Yi was surprised.

"From Guanzhong to Yizhou, there are generally only three roads to go, Xiegu, Luogu, and Ziwugu. The other roads can't be walked at all, but as long as these three roads are locked, the Hanzhong and Xudu can be completely blocked. Contact, Guan Yu's army will have no way to go to the sky, no way to enter the earth, completely sealed off, and if Chenggu is captured, Guan Yu's tens of thousands of troops will have no strong city to defend, and can only flow everywhere. The prestige of Guan Yu's tens of thousands of troops can even be starved to death if he implements strong walls and clearing the country," Fazheng said coldly.

"But what if Nanzheng is compromised?" Wu Yi asked worriedly.

"That would be great," Fazheng said excitedly immediately.

Wu Yi was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Whether it is Cao Cao or Zhang Lu, they are the future king's opponents. Zhang Lu's prestige in Hanzhong is very high. If he is killed by Guan Yu, the people of Hanzhong will hate Cao Jun. After defeating Guan Yu, our army can easily recover The entire land of Hanzhong is completely encircled by the king's strategy to the Central Plains," Fazheng said with a smile.

"But Zhang Lu surrendered?" Wu Yi asked again.

"No, as long as Yan Pu is still there, Zhang Lu will not surrender. As early as after the loss of Yangping Pass, Zheng has sent someone to tell him that Shu will send troops to help him, and let him hold on. Zhang Lu has deep feelings, and with Zheng's analysis of his interests, he will never surrender easily," Fazheng said confidently.

Wu Yi's heart was shocked. This student, whom he didn't take seriously before, actually counted things to this extent.

"General, after this battle, you will be the prefect of Hanzhong," Fazheng said with a sudden smile.

"Me!!" Wu Yi was stunned for a moment, and dared not say anything: "Even if Guan Yu is defeated, but Hanzhong is so important, the lord will definitely send the most trusted general. General Zhang Ren is much stronger than Yi."

"Haha" Fazheng laughed loudly, and said: "General Zhang Ren underestimated Cao Jun too much. Not only is Cao Jun extremely fierce, but there is a fierce general like Guan Yu. If he is fighting head-on, it is estimated that only those with more than three times his strength can be wiped out. It is estimated that General Zhang Ren will not only be unable to defeat Guan Yu, but will even be defeated, and there will be anxious scenes."

"What?" Wu Yi was anxious, and said, "Then notify General Zhang immediately."

Fazheng's expression froze, and he said solemnly: "General, since you have almost decided to submit to my Dayan, you must have a correct stand. General Zhang Ren is too foolish and loyal, and Hanzhong must not give it to him. This will not be conducive to the future king's recovery. Yizhou, let him lose a little this time, don't worry, although Liu Zhang is cowardly, he treats his subordinates very well, he will not blame, and will praise him, as for Guan Yu, as long as the news of Chenggu's loss reaches his ears, he will win If they do, they must garrison troops and find out the situation.”

After hesitating for a while, Wu Yi said, "Xiaozhi, although your plan is good, if Cao Cao is sending reinforcements, or if Xiliang enters Sichuan from Didao, what should we do?"

"Where Cao Cao has reinforcements, the king will not allow it, unless he doesn't want the whole of Xuzhou and the Central Plains. General, please remember that the number one hero in the world is the king. Cao Cao may be considered a figure in the eyes of others. , but under the iron cavalry of Dayan, he is nothing more than a chicken and a dog. He lost his confidence because he was beaten by the king, so he planned to take Yizhou as his foundation. As for Yongzhou and Liangzhou, don't worry, it has already been passed Send the letter to the king, and they will never move." Fazheng showed a trace of pride and reverence on his face.

"In that case, Cao Cao is nothing more than that," Wu Yi laughed.

"No! Cao Cao is terrible. This battle was a matter of luck. If he hadn't sent secret agents to Zhang Song's mansion early and intercepted the letter, then Liu Zhang would never have sent troops, and Hanzhong would definitely be under Cao Cao's command. But from a positive point of view , Cao Cao estimates that Yizhou is not the main target now, otherwise he should lead the troops here in person." Fazheng frowned.

Wu Yi nodded, clasped his fists in admiration and said, "Xiaozhi, you are an amazing talent, and your future is bound to be limitless. In the future, I hope you can help the Wu family a lot, and help a little sister."

"The general is too polite. In fact, the entry of the general's younger sister into the palace is exactly what Zheng is looking forward to, because only in this way can the Yizhou lineage occupy a place in the future Yan. Zheng will not only maintain it, but also help it with all his strength, etc. After the Battle of Hanzhong is over, Lingmei can be sent to Yecheng," Fazheng quickly returned the gift and promised.

"Haha, okay, with Xiaozhi's words, I would have no worries," Wu Yi said excitedly.

Fazheng smiled slightly, so Wu Yi was completely at ease.

"Report!" At this time another scout rushed over, knelt on one knee and said: "General, General Zhang Ren has already started a war with Guan Yu, and ordered our army to immediately attack Guan Yu from both sides."

The corner of Fazheng's mouth raised, and he asked, "Nanzheng is not lost, is it?"

"No, Zhang Lu stood firm for a day and a night. After seeing our army coming, he immediately went out of the city to fight Guan Yu together," Scout Hui reported.

"Very good, send a letter back and say that our army has made a detour," Fazheng ordered.

"promise!!"

After the scouts left, Fazheng said solemnly: "General, we will recover Chenggu immediately, and then divide into four roads, blocking all the roads into Shu."

"Over there with General Zhang," Wu Yi said worriedly.

"No problem, General Zhang is also a veteran on the battlefield, so he won't be defeated so easily," Fazheng comforted.

"Okay!" Wu Yi frowned, and shouted, "Speed ​​up, and take Chenggu within two hours."

"promise!"

At this moment, Fazheng gestured to a guard not far behind him again.

The guard nodded, then retreated quietly, and then left the queue.
