The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 364 Hanzhong
Chapter 370 Six Hanzhong

"Cao Cao is coming in a menacing way, you said, what should I do?"

In Nanzheng, Hanzhong, in Zhang Lu's mansion, Zhang Luzheng called everyone to discuss the strategy of resisting Cao Cao.

"My lord." The lord Bo Yangsong came out and said, "Prime Minister Cao is the hero of the world, with millions of soldiers in his hands. Now, under the guise of Liu Zhang, he leads a large army. No place in Hanzhong can stop him."

"Hmph!" General Zhang Wei snorted coldly and said, "My lord, the last general invites you to fight."

"General Zhang." Yang Song squinted at Zhang Wei and said, "Prime Minister Cao has a peerless general like Lu Bu in his hands, what can you do to stop him?"

"Okay!" Zhang Lu frowned and shouted coldly, then turned his head to look at a middle-aged man who closed his eyes and said: "Zimao, how should we take over Cao Cao's army?"

Seeing that Zhang Lu didn't ask Ji Yanpu, Zhang Song's displeasure flashed across his face, and then his expression was normal.

On the contrary, Yan Pu who was questioned by Zhang Lu opened his eyes and said: "Master, Cao Cao will not withdraw his troops until he comes to Hanzhong."

After a pause, Yan Pu continued: "I heard that Liu Bei's rule is not stable, it is difficult to send troops to contain Cao Cao, and my lord has a big enmity with Liu Zhang, and there is no strong support outside of Hanzhong. The only plan now is to rely on us." Guard it yourself."

"How to defend?" Before Zhang Lu asked, Zhang Song said bluntly: "Prime Minister Cao has millions of elite soldiers in his hands, and Liu Bei can't do anything about it. Now that Prime Minister Cao is powerful, my lord should make plans early on." .”

"Huh?" Zhang Lu's eyes flashed brightly after hearing Zhang Song's words. As an overlord, how could he hear the meaning of Zhang Song's words, that is, to surrender to Cao Cao in exchange for peace.

"It's not invincible." At this moment, Yan Pu said again: "Although Cao Cao is powerful, he also has powerful enemies around him, and Liu Bei will let Cao Cao grow bigger. My lord can send someone to ask Liu Bei for help, and Liu Bei will definitely send troops to contain him One or two."

"My lord, it's difficult for Liu Bei to protect himself now, and he will take care of Hanzhong, so it's difficult at this time." Zhang Song continued to persuade: "My lord, if you miss the good opportunity, it will be too late to regret."

"Okay, everyone back down, let me think about it..." Zhang Lu waved his hand, and let everyone back down, leaving only Yan Pu. The meaning is obvious, and Zhang Lu prefers to stick to Hanzhong.

Seeing this, Zhang Song glanced at Zhang Lu and Yan Pu, and left indifferently.

"Zimao, Cao Cao is strong and strong, how can I retreat? How confident are I?" Zhang Lu sincerely asked Yan Pu for advice. Yan Pu was his most important adviser. Although he trusted Zhang Song, he said that After planning, Yan Pu was several blocks away from Zhang Song in Zhang Lu's heart.

"My lord." Yan Pu did not disappoint Zhang Lu, so he collected his thoughts and said, "Although Cao Cao's attack is menacing, he only has [-] soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers need to guard against Liu Bei."

"Besides, the terrain in Hanzhong is dangerous. It only needs a large general to guard the dangerous place, and it will be difficult for Cao Cao's troops to advance. After a long time, when Liu Bei frees up his hands, Cao Cao will definitely retreat."

"Oh." Zhang Lu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked hastily, "Who can lead the army?"

"Cao Cao has many powerful generals in his hands, and he is the only one who can take on this important task." Yan Pu said here, keeping his head silent, waiting for Zhang Lu's decision.

"Is this person credible?" Zhang Lu thought for a while, then asked Yan Pu worriedly.

"This person has revenge against Cao Cao for killing his father, and has lost his roots. He is brave and resourceful, so he can be used." Yan Pu said in a low voice.

"Okay!" After hearing Yan Pu's words, Zhang Lu made a decision and immediately sent out messengers.

Soon, Ma Chao, who was far away in Bachuan, received a military order from Zhang Lu: "Zhang Lu asked me to lead troops to stop Cao thief?"

After Ma Chao received Zhang Lu's military order, he hurriedly summoned Pang De and Ma Dai to discuss. As for Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, they are now serving in Nanzheng.

This is Zhang Lu's method. Ma Chao's prestige is based on real guns and knives. Although he gave Ma Chao military power, he is not an idiot. Leaving Ma Tie and Ma Xiu by his side also means being hostages.

"Young General." Ma Dai said: "Cao Bandit came to attack, and now Hanzhong soldiers, the only one who can fight against Cao Bandit is the Young General, and Zhang Lu can only rely on the Young General."

"I think so too. Since Cao thief came to my door, I will kill him." Ma Chao said with anger in his eyes.

"Young General, although Zhang Lu gave me the military power, but not too much, and the soldiers in Hanzhong are weak, and the armor is lacking, it is really difficult to be the enemy of Cao's strong army, so we can't fight recklessly." Pang De hurriedly persuaded Ma Chao, lest Ma Chao messed up.

"I know..." Immediately, Ma Chao immediately led [-] troops to Ziwu Valley to set up camp, waiting for Cao Cao's army to arrive.

At this time, the big man, that is, Liu Bei's sphere of influence, now Liu Bei and Chen Ziming began to clean up the officials under their rule. Of course, the targets of the cleansing are not only those corrupt officials who were dragged into the water by the clan, but also those clans who had the most trouble children.

In this troubled world, it is too easy to kill a person, especially those self-righteous clan children who have no strength and bad vision. Liu Bei, who has the military power in his hands, can easily solve it.

Although the foundation of Confucianism is very deep, compared with a hero like Liu Bei, it is much worse, and today's Confucianism is not as terrible as later generations, at least it does not completely control the government like the Song and Ming dynasties. In this era, it is still useful to speak of military power .

What's more, the common people don't care about Confucianism or Taoism, they only listen to the emperor's order, and whatever the emperor says, Confucianism can't completely control the people's thinking, which is why Chen Ziming dared to attack Confucianism casually.

If you had tried Confucianism in the Song and Ming dynasties, all the scholars in the world were children of Confucianism, the common people respected Confucianism, and the emperor would look at the faces of those ministers.

Of course, except for a few emperors, such as Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the Confucianists tried to point fingers in front of them to see if they could live for another quarter of an hour.

Therefore, no matter how powerful Confucianism is, it depends on what kind of master it is facing. Although Liu Bei is not as fierce as Zhu Yuanzhang, the military power in his hands is not good-looking.

Smart people see that things can't be done, so they calm down and wait for the opportunity obediently. As for those Xiaobai who are still jumping up and down, then I'm sorry. In this troubled world, it is normal for a few thieves to come out, and find out some crimes of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country Still easy.

After the big cleansing, although there was a bit of turmoil everywhere, when soldiers and horses from all walks of life walked around the city, those clans had to close their doors and sleep quietly, and no one dared to continue clamoring.

"The generals in the army have been cleaned up almost, and the soldiers and horses in various places are still stable." In this era, no matter whether it is fame or money, there is no military power. Chance to get involved.
