Zhang He thought for a while, smiled at the crowd, and said: "Everyone, the general has observed half of the sound, this place is east of Hanzhong, and it is about a hundred miles away from the capital Nanzheng, and even if our army is marching rapidly, it will take about two days to arrive. ”

"Not to mention that our army is already sleepy and tired, and it is difficult to travel so far in long distances."

Speaking of this, he was calm, stretched out his hand and pointed a little on the map, and said in a deep voice: "There is a small city here Akasaka, after the scouts who heard the news returned, our army will be stationed in this city to replenish some supplies, and rest for a while to attack Nanzheng." ”

Just when the discussion with the generals is hot!

The scouts sent out from all over returned one after another, and one of the scouts suddenly shouted: "General Zhang, the villain led a few brothers to the south to investigate, there is a small city about 20 miles away from our army. ”

"How is the defense of this city?"

"Back to the general, because the terrain ahead is a little open, the villain is also worried that he will be discovered by the garrison when he is close, so he didn't arrive too much, but just observed it from a distance."

"The garrison of the Han army should not be too tight, the guards on the city wall are sparse, the gate below is also open, and there are still some people entering and exiting faintly."

As soon as the words fell, the scout bowed his hand again and again, respectfully recounted, and truthfully presented the situation of the inquiry.

As soon as these words fell, Zhang He suddenly stood up quickly, his face was full of seriousness, and he clenched his fists and shouted: "Okay, good!" ”

"Our army has been running in the Meridian Valley for nearly a month, not only is there a shortage of food and grass, but the whole army is even more sleepy and lacking horses, since there is such a small city to rest and recuperate, how can our army miss it?"

After these words fell, he shouted: "The whole army obeyed the order, quickly assembled, targeted Akasaka, and took it." ”

"No!"

When the order was passed, Zhang He jumped up, stood with his sword in his hand, and said in a deep voice in front of the generals: "Gentlemen, work hard!" ”

"Kill, kill!"

In just a short period of time, thousands of Cao Jun sergeants rushed towards Akasaka City with strong and powerful steps, shouting loudly along the way, as if the sound shook for nine days, and the momentum was extremely huge.

Bursts of cheers spread throughout the city.

At this time, a general at the head of the city looked down, and when the Cao army on the plain was rushing, he panicked and shouted: "Ah? Cao... Cao Jun... Come on...... Raid ......"

"Bang!"

Before the panicked warning sounded down, a sharp arrow broke through the air and hit the general's throat.

Seal your throat with an arrow!

The general was powerless to fall to the ground, but the roar of Cao Jun below intensified, roaring angrily: "Take the city, take the city!" ”

"Kill all the thieves."

In a few moments, a group of Cao soldiers rushed to the city gate and slashed their swords to kill the Han soldiers who had no time to escape, and the rest of the soldiers also carried simple wooden ladders to the city wall and launched a fierce attack.

Battles come and go as fast as they come.

The fierce battle was only about a cup of tea, and the Cao army expelled the Han soldiers and planted the "Zhang" general flag at the head of the city.

Cao Jun's surprise attack on Hanzhong was a secret, except for Wei Yan's speculation, the rest of the Han army could not believe that the enemy army would attack from the meridian, let alone the generals of a small city.

Akasaka is a small city, the surrounding terrain is relatively flat and there is no danger, and the guards are only county soldiers who have not been in battle for a long time and have low combat effectiveness.

In addition, the Cao army suddenly attacked, and the Han soldiers were not prepared, and they didn't even have time to close the city gate, so they were raided and succeeded.

Akasaka lost in a short period of time, which is too normal.

At the head of the city, the main general hung his sword on his waist, his eyes almost narrowed into a line, quietly looked at the slowly falling afterglow in the distance, let the sun shine on his armor, and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, order all the departments to loot the treasury, have a good meal and recuperate, and prepare for the next fierce battle." ”

"This city is just a small border city in the east of Hanzhong, and the enemy's garrison is already weak, and it is easy to take it, so you soldiers should not be complacent!"

The order was passed down, and the adjutant general beside him listened carefully and was about to go to pass the order, Zhang He thought for a while, as if he had thought of something, his face suddenly became solemn, and he said in a loud voice: "You go quickly to give the order, all the soldiers will not plunder the people when they enter the city, and they will definitely not commit any offense against the people." ”

"Those who dare to disturb the people will be punished by military law!"

As soon as these words fell, Zhang He's face suddenly became solemn, and he shouted loudly.

Seeing that the main general was so solemn, the deputy general knew that this matter was not trivial, and hurriedly surrendered his promise, and then quickly ran towards the city.

After this order was issued, Zhang He's hanging heart calmed down a little, and his eyes stared calmly ahead, standing still!

Why was he not allowed to plunder the people?

One is that the Cao army fought against the Han army, the purpose of which was to recover the lost territory, and the ultimate goal was to include the entire land of Han and Ba into the territory, not like the Qiang pawn, just to harvest the rich Bashu as a "leek".

The ideas are different, and the instructions given naturally are also different.

Secondly, Zhang He also thought about it, thinking in his heart: "Our army's surprise attack on the meridian soldiers in Hanzhong this time, everything must be done cautiously, and the people must be treated without committing any crimes, and the people must not be disturbed!" ”

"The big-eared thief is already extremely popular, once he wantonly disturbs the people and completely forces the people in the land of Hanchuan to the opposite side, then the situation of our army in the land of Hanzhong will be really worrying, and it will fall into a situation where there is no way to advance and no way to retreat."

After thinking about it deeply, he was also sure that as long as his soldiers maintained strict military discipline and did not rob or disturb the people, the people in the land of Hanzhong would not reject Cao Jun too much.

After all, it has been less than a year since the Han army captured Hanzhong, and the newly acquired land has not yet completely depended on the territory under its jurisdiction, and the Cao army has been stationed in Hanzhong for several years, so naturally its prestige will not be completely dissipated so easily.

This is also the key to prompting Zhang He to dare to attack the meridian and take Hanzhong lightly.

According to his assumption, as long as his own march into the Meridian Valley is successful, once he wins consecutive battles on the way to conquer the hinterland of Hanzhong, it will inevitably cause a butterfly effect, and some armed forces dissatisfied with the rule of the Han army will definitely lead the crowd to come and attach themselves.

In this way, Zhang He is stirring up Hanzhong internally, and Xiahou Nan is storming the external defense line of Hanzhong with the Qiang people.

At this point, he has already calculated!

Otherwise, how could a good general who has been fighting for many years make such a decision?

In the Hanzhong War last year, although the Cao army was defeated and ended with the withdrawal from Hanzhong, there were also some Cao troops who could not break through under the war, and went deep into the mountains to occupy the mountains and divide one side, waiting for the counterattack of the Cao army.

In the past six months, although Wei Yan has tried his best to clear the armed forces in Hanzhong, how can it be so easy to completely clear the newly taken land?

Zhang He believes at this moment that as long as his army's march into the hinterland of Nanzheng and Chuyang goes smoothly, there will be many people who will come to rely on it.

……

County Yazhong.

Zhang He took off his armor, drank a bowl of gruel neatly, and then added to his dry lips, as if reminiscing about the wonderful taste, and then said in a deep voice to the generals: "Ladies and gentlemen, our army has taken Akasaka for several hours, and according to the scouts scattered around, there is a city under construction about forty or fifty miles west of Akasaka. ”

"According to the locals, this city is a military fortress built by the Han general Wei Yan since he took office in Hanzhong, called the Golden City, and its purpose is to defend the eastern part of Hanzhong in case the enemy army is attacking!"

As soon as these words fell, the deputy general standing on the side couldn't help but move slightly, and Weng said: "This ...... The enemy general Wei Yan seems to be really unknown, and after less than a year in office, he pointed to the key point and built a military barrier here. ”

"If we wait for a few years, when the military barrier is completed, even if our army can penetrate the Meridian Valley in the Qinling Mountains, I am afraid it will be difficult to threaten the hinterland of Hanzhong!"

Speaking of this, the rest of the generals also reacted immediately, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Haha, this is extremely true!" ”

"Fortunately, the time is still short, and the military barrier is not so easy to build, our army just took the opportunity to take the Golden City, destroy its modules, and capture Hanzhong!"

For a while, all the generals of Cao Jun were happy.

It is only said that when everyone was discussing the military situation in a fierce manner, the scouts who were scattered around to investigate returned in an instant, and rushed to the county government in a panic.

Arriving at the mansion, the scout did not hesitate, panting and shouting: "General Qiyu, the villains are scattered around to investigate the situation, but they found that about ten miles south of Akasaka, a heavily armed Han army is attacking at full speed, and the target is directly aimed at Akasaka. ”

"What?"

"The Han army is coming?"
