Xicheng County.

Late autumn came, the weather suddenly became colder, and there was a cool breath everywhere, and the robe that Zhang Lu wore on his body was also thickened a lot, but he stood under the eaves, and he still felt a chill emerging from his back.

"Looks like it's almost winter!"

He raised his head slightly, looked at the fallen leaves, and said to himself: "It's good in winter, I'll see when I arrive, how they march in Hanzhong in winter!" ”

He was still quite worried about the herdsman's attack on Hanzhong.

But the time and place are above him, but it makes him feel a lot more at ease, Hanzhong is originally an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, and winter is coming, this ghost weather is only suitable for defense, not for attack.

After surviving this winter, perhaps the situation in Yizhou will be different.

He believed that although Liu Yan was jealous of him, he might not just give up on him, he didn't know how Mu Jing persuaded Liu Yan, but he always believed that the contradiction between him and Liu Yan was an internal contradiction, and he didn't think about rebelling against Liu Yan.

And Mu Jing, this is a wolf, he knows, and Liu Yan also knows.

"Master Shijun, something is wrong!"

At this moment, a hurried footstep came from outside.

It was Yan Pu, he was in a hurry, his face was a little pale, and cold sweat was like rain on his forehead: "Shangyong is lost!" ”

"What?"

Zhang Lu's pupils changed color: "How is it possible, how long has this tomb been captured, how could Shangyong be lost?" ”

Shangyong is the barrier to the eastern part of Hanzhong.

Once Shangyong is lost, they will fall into a passive position for the defensive strategy of the entire Hanzhong.

"Could it be that Zhang Suo has surrendered?"

Zhang Lu said gloomily.

Shangyong County Commander Zhang Suo has always been an object he is not very worried about, holding heavy troops, hovering between him and Zhang Xiu, although he betrayed Zhang Xiu in the end, but in Zhang Lu's heart, he can betray Zhang Xiu, he can betray himself, so he has always wanted to take back Shangyong's military power.

But he hasn't cleaned up Zhang Xiu's remnants yet, and he hasn't stabilized the Five Doumi Sect, so he hasn't done anything.

Now, Shangyong County has been captured by the pastoral army in a short period of time?

"It's not!"

Yan Pu shook his head and said in a low voice: "Zhang Suo and Zhang Weibing are in one, they suddenly heard that Fangling County was broken by the pastoral army, and in a hurry, they sent troops to take the initiative to recapture Fangling County, but they didn't expect the other party to shake a shot, give up Fangling County, go out of the mountain road, copy the path, take a mountain road that we don't know, and go straight to Shangyong City, in less than two days, Shangyong City was broken!" ”

"Mountain Road?"

When Zhang Lu heard this, his brows furrowed, he walked into the main hall, knelt down, and let the left and right guards spread out a marching map, he looked at it very carefully, and his eyes were circled on a mountain range: "Is it this mountain range, but this mountain range doesn't even have many topographic maps for us, if you want to find a way to penetrate it, it is difficult to do it in less than a month, how did they do it?" ”

"Someone will support them!"

Yan Pu said.

"Who in Hanzhong will support them?" Zhang Lu was puzzled, if someone would support Zhang Yu's revenge, he believed that after all, Zhang Xiu had a deep background in Hanzhong, but when the pastoral army first entered Hanzhong, how could he support it.

"I don't know!"

Yan Pu smiled bitterly: "I can't imagine that in this Han, who will support them, and those scholars are impossible, who doesn't know that the Mu clan is the enemy of the Shi clan in the world, and the scholar clan will support anyone, and will never support them!" ”

"Let the people of the Five Doumi Sect check it out!"

Zhang Lu clenched his fists and said coldly: "I want to know who betrayed Hanzhong and introduced the notorious Mu thief to the land of Hanzhong!" ”

"Yes!"

Yan Pu nodded.

"Since Shangyong was taken away by the pastoral army, what about Zhang Suo and Zhang Wei's main forces?" Zhang Lu asked.

"After they realized the plan, they immediately returned, but it was too late, and now they are stationed outside Shangyong City, send a message to us, let us send reinforcements, they also said that there are not many herdsmen in this force, it should be the vanguard of the herdsmen!"

"A vanguard army has turned them around?"

Zhang Lu sneered.

"Lord Shijun, now is not the time to punish them, we must take Shangyong back as soon as possible, because we don't know how strong the main force of the pastoral army is, once their main force enters Hanzhong, we can't recapture Shangyong, then we must give up the eastern part of Hanzhong, which is not good for us!"

Yan Pu said.

"How are our soldiers and horses prepared?" Zhang Lu asked.

Since he got the news from Chengdu, he immediately began to gather the army under his command, and these days have passed, he personally went out and led the troops from Nanzheng into Xicheng, straight to the front line, just to be able to cheer up the morale of the army.

"It's almost assembled!"

Yan Pu replied: "There are 70,000 soldiers, 30,000 are elite troops, 40,000 are young and strong, all assembled, Yang Bai and others are also gathered on the outskirts of Xicheng, they can send troops at any time!" ”

"Tell Yang Bai to let them lead 10,000 elite soldiers and horses, immediately send troops to Shangyong, before and after, and attack Shangyong together, and kill the vanguard army of the herding army!"

Zhang Lu said gloomily: "I will never allow Shangyong to be occupied by them, once they stand firm in the footsteps of Shangyong, we will be in trouble in the future, I am afraid that if you want to drive them out completely, you will not be able to drive them out!" ”

"Yes!"

Yan Pu nodded, he was convinced of this.

"Also, did Zhang Yu find it?" Zhang Lu was under the threat of the pastoral army, and he did not forget the existence of Zhang Xiu's remnants, if he wanted to completely control the Wudou Rice Sect, then he had to kill Zhang Xiu's lineage, otherwise he would leave trouble in the future.

"Zhang Wei originally went to hunt down Zhang Yu, but it happened that Fangling fell, Zhang Suo was worried about Shangyong, so he sent someone to summon him, and now Zhang Yu's whereabouts are unknown!" Yan Pu said: "Master Shijun, Zhang Yu is just a child, the Five Buckets of Rice Sect is in the hands of Shijun, and his life and death cannot affect the overall situation!" ”

"He won't die, I'm always worried, after all, Zhang Xiu's influence in the Five Dou Mi Sect is something you can see, in the past, I thought that the Five Doo Mi Sect was just a branch of the Heavenly Master's Dao, and when the big tree grows, just cut it off!"

Zhang Lu sighed and said: "But Zhang Xiu's generation, heroic and strategic, the Five Bucket Rice Sect he operated, before the entire Hanzhong was summarized, the squires, the peddlers, the peddlers, the peasants, where there is no trace of the Five Bucket Rice Sect, so this Five Bucket Rice Sect must be controlled in the hands of this gentleman!" ”

"Master Shijun, don't worry, I will send more people to search Zhang Yu!"

Yan Pu nodded.

He also knows deeply that the influence of the Five Bucket Rice Sect in Hanzhong, to put it mildly, if you want to rule Hanzhong, you must take down the Five Bucket Rice Sect, which is why Zhang Lu must Zhang Xiu do it.

"In addition, we have to send someone to keep an eye on Yizhou!"

"How's Yizhou doing?" Yan Pu asked, he knew that Zhang Lu had a lot of eyes and ears in the two counties of Bashu, and he couldn't hide any news from his ears.

"Just before Liu Yan made a move, Jia Long had already gotten the news, and he struck first, entangled a lot of soldiers and horses, unveiled the uprising, and now he has taken Ba County and is ready to capture Shu County!"

"So Liu Yizhou will be kicked out of Yizhou?"

"No!"

Zhang Lu shook his head: "Jia Long will not be Liu Yan's opponent, I know this person very well, if he doesn't move, it's enough, if he moves, it's like thunder, since he is ready, then Jia Long will die if he doesn't move, this Yizhou, sooner or later, it will still be Liu Yan's!" ”

He sighed and said, "It's a pity, I thought that we could take advantage of Liu Yan at this juncture, and it would be best for us to rule Hanzhong in a proper manner, but I didn't expect a remnant of the Mu clan to come out, and we missed this opportunity, even if we defeat the Mu army in the future, we can only obey Liu Yanyan!" ”

This great opportunity, he is ready to sell on both sides, and then go to Hanzhong alone.

But he didn't expect the foreign aid invited by Liu Yan to suddenly overwhelm him.

"Master Shijun, don't think about it so much, now let's drive these remnants of the Mu clan out of Hanzhong as the most important thing!" Yan Pu Road.

"That's right!"

Zhang Lu nodded: "This time, I will go out in person, but I want to see if the rumored young master of the Mu clan is as young as the rumored young hero!" ”

……

……

Shangyong City.

After the war, the city seems to be a little lonely, the traces of war on the city wall have not been eliminated, the streets and alleys in the city have also been affected by the war a lot of silence, there are a lot fewer people to play, most of the people are trembling at home, dare not come out.

The county hall hall.

Chen Zhi knelt and sat down, receiving a few people, quite polite.

"You help a certain family to break the city, this kindness, a certain remember, when my lord takes charge of Hanzhong, there will be a reward!" Chen Zhi said very arrogantly, he didn't mind opening a few empty checks that could appease people's hearts.

"You're welcome!"

"Captain Chen doesn't have to be so polite!"

"We're just doing our duty!"

These five or six middle-aged people are all mediocre squire families.

Among them, the Shangyong Ye family is the leader.

Ye Ru, the head of the Ye family, Ye Mingsheng is a middle-aged man in his early fifties who is very neatly combed, and he smiled very naturally: "Captain Chen, in fact, to help you is to help ourselves, since Lord Su was killed, we people have long been suppressed and unable to survive, if I can support Lord Minghou and overthrow the tyranny of Heavenly Master Dao, I am naturally willing!" ”

He paused, and then said: "I just don't know when Lord Minghou's army will be able to enter Hanzhong, it's not that I look down on Captain Chen, it's just that Captain Chen's strength is not able to hold the mediocrity!" ”

There are two reasons why he will turn against each other, first, he and the Su family are in-laws, if Su Xin calls him uncle according to his relatives, although he is separated by blood, but this uncle is also justified.

Second, Su Gu fell, pulled up the radish and brought a pit, many squire families who had accepted Su Gu's protection would be suppressed, in terms of mediocrity, his Ye family was the most miserable, the land in the family was swallowed by other squires by one-third, the wealth was shrinking, and it couldn't last long, it would be divided and pressed to a desperate situation, at this time Su Xin appeared, and the trust in Su Xin, as well as the friendship for the Su family, made them turn against each other without hesitation.

Now Shangyong City has been taken by Chen Zhi's soldiers and horses, but they know that this point of soldiers and horses can't hold for long, Shangyong is the most important city, once Zhang Suo's troops counterattack, they will do whatever it takes.

"Ye Family Master, I know you're worried!"

Chen Zhi pondered for a while, his eyes flashed, he stood up, arched his hand to Ye Ru, and said sincerely: "I can give the Ye family master a promise, as long as the Ye family master can assist us in defending Shangyong for ten days, I guarantee that the main force of our lord will come to the city!" ”

"Ten days?"

Ye Ru frowned: "Won't this be too long?" ”

If you want to hold Shangyong for ten days, with Chen Zhi's troops, in Ye Ru's opinion, it is a difficult thing.

"The road in Hanzhong, the Ye family master must also know, the march is not a simple matter, I will not lie to the Ye family master, if I can let the main force enter Hanzhong earlier, I am naturally willing to enter Hanzhong earlier!"

Chen Zhi smiled bitterly, but he also knew that this reason was difficult to convince these worried squire families, he thought about it, raised his oath, and said: "But I can give the Ye family master a promise, as long as I am alive, Shangyong City will not be breached, as long as I am alive, no one can hurt the Ye family master, all of you, since I am guarding the Shangyong, I will not allow anyone to hurt the Shangyong people!" ”

"Good!"

Ye Ru stood up and said: "I believe in Su Xin, the people of the Su family will not be untrustworthy, since Su Xin believes in Captain Chen, we also believe in Captain Chen, in ten days, we will do our best to assist Captain Chen to defend the city, but once the ten days have passed, the main force of Lord Minghou has not yet appeared, so don't blame us for surviving!" ”

After sending these representatives of the squire family away, Chen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Brother Su!"

Chen Zhi bowed his hand and bowed to Su Xin.

Although Su Xin didn't say a word just now, if it weren't for Su Xin's guarantor for the shepherd army in the name of the Su family and his own name beforehand, I'm afraid he wouldn't have had the opportunity to get these squire families to support him.

"You're welcome!" Su Xin said indifferently: "Although they all sell a little bit of our Su family's face, but the most important thing is that they are desperate now, since their uncle died, their lives have not been easy, whether it is Zhang Xiu before or Zhang Lu now, they can't tolerate them at all, so they will cooperate with us!" ”

"Maybe they are really desperate, but I believe that if you didn't come forward to persuade them, if you replaced any of us, it would take a long time to suppress them, and many things that Lord Su Gu did in Hanzhong back then won the hearts of the people, which is undoubted!"

Chen said in a deep voice.

When Su Xin heard this, his face was a little bitter, and when he thought of his uncle, he was more sad and angry, so he changed the topic: "Captain Chen, can I ask, within ten days, can the main force of Lord Minghou reach Shangyong?" ”

He knew very well that the road in Hanzhong was not the most difficult to walk, only more difficult to walk, if he did not lead the way in front, even if he gave Chen Zhi a map, let alone three days, Chen Zhi would not be able to walk to Fangling in ten days, and he also broke through Fangling and attacked Shangyong one after another.

So he was worried.

"Don't worry!"

Chen Zhi deduced confidence on his face: "My lord is a person who is good at creating miracles, he said that if he can arrive, then he will definitely be able to arrive, as long as we stick to the mediocrity, it will not take ten days, within five days, the main force of the lord will arrive, and then we will have the opportunity to eat Zhang Suo's mediocre soldiers and horses before Zhang Lu's main force appears!" ”
