Chapter 165
Chapter [-] Huang Zhong's Fame
At this time, there is no point in guarding Yangping Pass.

Zhang Lu rushed back to Nanzheng with his troops. Although the county was not lost, news of the loss of other cities came one after another, and the army was flustered and restless.

Then came the news.

Zhang Wei of Meridian Road was captured.

Guo Jia's army rushed into Hanzhong along the Meridian Road.

The complete fall of Meridian Road means that the imperial army can continuously pour into Hanzhong and continue to gather towards Nanzheng.

At this time, not only did Zhang Lu's subordinates have no intention of fighting, Zhang Lu was also restless, he was restless, walking back and forth, planning to surrender to Liu Xie.

Yan Pu persuaded: "My lord, you want to surrender to the emperor, but now is not the best time. If you surrender before the war, you can still gain a lot of merit. The emperor will reward you for your contribution to the land. This time When soldiers approach the city and surrender, it is of no benefit to the lord."

Zhang Lu panicked: "Then what should I do, continue to fight against the court, our army is not as powerful as the Han army, and the generals are not as good as the Han army Xiaoyong, how to fight."

Yan Pu said: "My lord, you can lead the army to retreat to Berkshire first, relying on the geography of Berkshire and the seven surnamed kings Du Wei and Pu Hu to resist the Han army. At that time, as long as the Han army fails to attack and negotiate to accept the surrender, the emperor will surely I will grant it and reward my lord generously."

Zhang Lu was overjoyed after hearing this, and agreed, "Okay! Let's do this."

Before leaving, Zhang Lu saw that he couldn't take away the extra supplies, and said, "There are still countless food, grass, soldiers, gold and silver treasures in the warehouse. Do I want to destroy them?"

Yan Pu persuaded again: "Since the lord has made up his mind to surrender to the emperor, there is no need to destroy the warehouse. The emperor has completely obtained the materials in the warehouse. If there is a wise man who can guess the meaning of the lord, he will wait for us. , the emperor will also be happy because he has gained something, so he will not have the intention to kill the lord."

So Zhang Lu hurriedly evacuated Nanzheng with his family and soldiers.

Nanzheng was taken by Liu Xie without any attack.

Then Yangping Pass surrendered, and Huang Zhong and others will enter Hanzhong along Yangping Pass to join Liu Xie.

Sure enough, Liu Xie completely harvested Nanzheng, and he was happy to hear the reports from the soldiers below that he had seized a lot.

He didn't expect that Zhang Lu didn't burn the supplies, and didn't even take away the collected treasures.

Guo Jia's sharp eyes could see through all this, and he said, "My lord, Zhang Lu did this on purpose. I think there are some resourceful people around him who know how to keep things safe."

Liu Xie said: "So Zhang Lu did it on purpose, then his intention is to let me let him go."

"Your Majesty is wise. I think he intends to accept the surrender, but he is afraid that the credit will be too little and the direct surrender will not be taken seriously, so he withdrew to Berkshire. As long as our army fails to attack in Berkshire, he will have more bargaining chips. At that time, His Majesty If he surrenders, he will surrender, and His Majesty will have to reward him generously, and ensure his glory and wealth to be reused."

"Hehe, interesting?" Liu Xie smiled and asked, "Does Fengxiao think I want to accept his surrender?"

Guo Jiadao: "The Zhang family has been the leader of the Daoist sect for generations, and they have countless Daoists. They have been operating in Hanzhong for a long time, and their roots are very deep. If you want to govern Hanzhong well, you need Zhang Lu to appease the people. Your Majesty will of course accept his surrender.

However, it is precisely because of his deep foundation and close friendship with the Yi kings of the seven surnames that it is necessary to attack his prestige. After many setbacks, it is best to capture him directly, and His Majesty is pardoning him. "

Liu Xie understood and nodded: "So in Berkshire we still have to fight and win. It is best to cut off one or two barbarian kings and push Zhang Lu to a dead end. The less bargaining chips he has, the better."

"Your Majesty is wise, what you say is right." Guo Jia praised.

After conquering Hanzhong, Liu Xie immediately recruited pensioners, and then the army rested for a few days, and ordered Tai Shici to guard Hanzhong, Huang Zhong as commander, and Wei Yan as the forward to continue to use troops against Berkshire.

Zhang Lu had these few days to reorganize his team, and gathered seven surnames Yi Wang Du Li, Pu Hu and others to resist.

Wei Yan led the vanguard to open mountains and build bridges when they encountered water. At first, they stood up very smoothly. Because the road was wide, they also captured all the cities along the way, and soon captured the land of Brazil dominated by Hanchang and Xuanhan.

However, as we go deeper into the hinterland of Padang, the road becomes narrower, and there are two dense forests and high mountains, which are not conducive to movement.

After walking for a few miles, a group of archers appeared all of a sudden, shooting at Wei Yan's troops.

Wei Yan was fine, he swiped his knife to shoot him off, but his subordinates were not so lucky. People were injured from time to time, and the number of wounded suddenly increased.

This made Wei Yan so angry that he led people to chase after him, but these people ran away like mice.

How could Wei Yan's people be this group of mouse opponents who were accustomed to drilling in the woods in the mountains, so they had to give up the pursuit, and after several times, they had to stop because of the reduction in staff and the frequent harassment.

"Report! The forward of our army was disturbed by the enemy in Padang and could not move forward."

Liu Xie and Guo Jia nodded when they heard the news ahead, showing a clear expression.

Liu Xiedao: "It is said that Shu people are good at archery. This is true. Our army has just entered the hinterland of Berkshire, and it has been attacked so frequently by the enemy's archers."

Guo Jiadao: "These soldiers who are good at archery must be the native barbarians of Badong. They hunt for a living all year round. All of them are archers of the emperor, and they are good at mountain walking. It is common sense that General Wei Yan lost to them."

Liu Xie said: "Then what should we do next? Our army can't just stop halfway into Badong, otherwise we will really fall into Zhang Lu's plan and fulfill his wish."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "This time, it may be time to use the big talent. Please take General Huang as the forward. I heard that the old general Huang's arrow skills are unmatched by anyone, and Yigan's personal guards have also been trained so well." They are sharp archers, and we can only rely on them this time."

Liu Xie thinks it is reasonable, and it is a good way to break the arrow with an arrow.

So Liu Xie led the army as the commander-in-chief and took over the command, Huang Zhong led the way for the vanguard, and Wei Yan took care of the flanks of the central army.

Huang Zhong led his men to the front to open the way.

Sure enough, the barbarians came to harass again soon.

But this time they ran into Huang Zhong, not Wei Yan who could only get beaten but couldn't fight back.

When Huang Zhong was harassed, he immediately fought back, and he even fired repeatedly.

The Yi soldiers only shot one arrow, and Huang Zhong shot four or five arrows.

And the arrow hits the enemy's life.

The barbarian soldiers were stunned for a while, they didn't expect the Han generals to have such a fast rate of fire, and this time the Han army counterattacked in an all-round way, caught off guard, they didn't take advantage of it, but lost most of them, so they had to retreat immediately.

After repelling a wave, Huang Zhong did not delay and continued to march towards Badong.

Then there were several waves of barbarian troops to attack and harass, but they were all shot and killed by Huang Zhong's troops. Each wave of barbarians lost most of them, so they had to flee back in embarrassment.

The raid plan failed.

For a while, Huang Zhong's name gradually rose in Padang.
