Early the next morning, Guan Ping began to dispatch troops.

Xu Shu knew that as long as Guan Ping had Hucheng, Zhang Lu would inevitably fight. You can take advantage of the situation to defend the city and wait for work.

Now relying on Zhang Fei's bravery, he finally broke through Yan Pu and beheaded his general Zhang Wei.

Finally, Yan Pu led Yang Ang and other generals to return to Nanzheng. The tactics of this step have been won, and it is natural to take the next step.

And what's next?

There are two paths.

The first is to quickly integrate men and horses to attack Nanzheng City, and this attack is also. As long as Nanzheng captures, Hanzhong will be determined.

But is Nan Zheng so easy to take?

Zhang Laosan can tear apart the long knife team and stab Zhang Wei to death with a spear. But can you fly over the walls and fight your way into the city? Although Yan Pu was defeated, he also led the remnants to retreat, and heard that Zhang Lu trained new soldiers in Nanzheng, organized the people to defend the city, and won the hearts of Zhang Lu with 50,000 elite soldiers, and it was difficult to capture Nanzheng.

Besides, Guan Ping has few soldiers, but he guards Hucheng with ease and labor, so he has today. How could Guan Ping lead his troops to attack Nanzheng?

As the saying goes, the siege is the bottom, and the attack is the top.

Guan Ping occupied Hucheng and was not in a hurry to conquer the city, but he was kind and virtuous, learned from King Yan Zhao to buy thousands of horse bones, and repelled the old official Xu Hu to engage in it, which caused Zhang Lu to feel that the foundation was shaken, so he sent troops to attack.

At this moment, Guan Ping defeated Yan Pu and killed his general Zhang Wei, who had already shocked Hanzhong, and naturally made great achievements.

After Yan Pu was defeated, most of the elite were lost, and the rest of the soldiers were also panicked, and they were no longer brave. Guan Ping dispatched the generals, even the naval army led by Ding Feng, who only left 1,000 soldiers and joined the conquest.

Dispatch generals to attack the county towns of Hanzhong. Hanzhong plus Tiger City, there are ten cities. At present, the Hanzhong soldiers have been emptied, and only one of Nanzheng remains.

Although Zhang Lu won the hearts of the people, it was always better to rely on the people to defend the city than a professional army, and with Guan Ping's power in Hanzhong, people who were not satisfied with the Wudou Mi Sect also appeared.

There are eight remaining county towns in Hanzhong, three of which were broken by Zhang Fei, Ding Feng, and Zhang Bao, and the remaining five cities were the big clans in the city who rebelled and killed the head of the Five Doumi Sect to sacrifice wine, according to Guan Ping.

It was the head of the city that changed the banner of the king, Zhang Lu had been in Hanzhong for many years, but for a time there was only a city of Nanzheng, and there were still 5,000 elite soldiers in Yangping Pass.

The tide is beginning to turn.

On the other hand, Guan Ping left 500 men to garrison Hucheng, led Li Fei and Zhou Xiong to lead the men and horses of the base camp to march slowly to Nanzheng. Ten days later, Guan Ping arrived at the city of Nanzheng, and Zhang Fei, Ding Feng, Ding Feng, Zhao Tong, Mi Wei, and Zhang Bao each led their troops to join Guan Ping, and after gathering, there were still 20,000 men and horses.

This time, Guan Ping attacked Hanzhong, and invested a total of almost 30,000 troops. Now there are still 20,000 soldiers gathered under Nanzheng City, and there are 1,500 people in Hucheng, and there are some wounded soldiers left in Hucheng.

In fact, it was only a loss of five or six thousand men. This all depends on the benefits brought by alcohol and sheep intestines, otherwise with such a hot weather, the loss rate of Guan Ping's army would not be so low.

It's a great weapon.

After killing the city of Nanzheng, Guan Ping did not make any moves, and just ordered the soldiers to beat the drums every day, telling Zhang Lu in the city that he had come here.

Guan Ping still did not plan to storm Nanzheng, but he still focused on attacking the heart, waiting for the hearts of the people in the city to collapse and self-destruct.

There are ten cities in Hanzhong, and Guanping has accounted for nine. But there is one left, which happens to be the most critical one, Nanzheng City.

Only by attacking this city can Zhang Lu be pulled off the throne.

Therefore, Guan Ping led 20,000 elite soldiers from various armies and came to the city of Nanzheng. Sun Qian was ordered to be stationed in nearby Chenggu County and mobilize the taxes of each county to replenish the army.

The war has been going on for some time, and agricultural production should be restored. Now Hanzhong no longer belongs to Zhang Lu, at least not only to Zhang Lu. Guan Ping also has a share.

Zhang Lu was trapped in Nanzheng, even if the money and food in the city could support him for several years, as long as he did not dare to go out of the city, he would become weaker and weaker, and Guan Ping would become stronger and stronger.

At this moment, how will Zhang Lu decide?

Xu Shu, Ma Tan has an analysis.

On this day, the sun is in full bloom, Guan Ping's joint camp is divided into the front army, the middle army, the rear army, the camp is divided into three rows, although it is different from the camp set up by Yan Pu, but everything is unchanged, each leading the army will each base a camp, it will be broken a camp, and the whole army will not collapse.

Of course, at this moment, Zhang Lu is already a trapped beast, and I am afraid that he will never dare to go out of the city to fight again.

Guan Ping was in a very good mood, one left and one right with Ma Yan, Xu Shu walked casually in the army with his sword, and Zhou Xiong, a personal soldier, would follow in the rear with a few personal soldiers.

On the way, when he met a soldier saluting him, Guan Ping nodded.

"Now there is only one city left in Zhanglu, a few defeated troops, and some strong people. How do you think he will decide? Guan Ping looked at Xu Shu left and right, Ma Yan, as if he was a left and right military advisor, very emotional.

"There are only two ways left and right, one is to surrender Kaesong. The second is to ask for help, hoping to recover the decline. Xu Shu replied as he walked.

"Five thousand defenders of Yangping Pass?" Guan Ping understood and looked to the west. The gateway of Hanzhong, guarding the Jinniu Road and the Yangping Pass of Qishan Road, is a very important pass.

In history, when Cao Cao went south to Hanzhong, he broke through Zhang Wei from Yangping Pass, so that he was able to enter Hanzhong.

The current role of Yangping Pass is to guard against Bashu. Zhang Lu has always stationed elite soldiers in Yangping Pass to deal with the Bashu army, but now that the country is dying, I am afraid that Zhang Lu will not be able to take care of much.

"More than that." Ma Tan said.

Guan Ping was stunned for a moment, and then understood. said: "Pu Hu and other seven barbarian kings in the south. As long as these two support soldiers are intercepted, Zhang Lu will inevitably surrender, right? ”

"Zhang Lu is actually a person who knows current affairs, his brother Zhang Wei is just sexual, and Yang Ang is also good at fighting. But in the first battle of Hucheng, Zhang Wei was killed, Yang Ang was defeated, and Yang Bo was greedy for life and afraid of death. If you can stop its reinforcements, the city will collapse over time. Xu Shu said.

"How to stop it?" Guan Ping asked.

"Send General Zhang to lead more than 2,000 elite soldiers to intercept him in the south. I went with the army. As for Yangpingguan, you can send Yi Jibo to be a lobbyist. Xu Shu pondered for a moment and said.

"Good. The master of the order Yi set off immediately. Guan Ping turned his head and said to Zhou Xiong, who immediately went to find his nationality in person.

Guan Ping was about to ask Xu Shu to find Zhang Laosan, but Zhang Laosan came by himself.

"Stinky boy, stop." A rough voice came from behind the group, Guan Ping stopped helplessly and turned his head to look, and saw that his third master was backhanding his waist with an unhappy face.

"Third uncle, what's wrong with you?" Guan Ping reluctantly turned around and asked.

"The army is stationed here, why not storm Nanzheng? Let me be a pioneer, I can break the city in just one day, and take Zhang Lu's head back. Zhang Laosan bragged every day.

Guan Ping rolled his eyes, if you Zhang Laosan can really break through Nanzheng City in one day, I am willing to kneel down and kowtow a hundred times, absolutely Ding Dong is not ambiguous.

However, this old demon came just in time, and Guan Ping took the opportunity to say: "The third uncle should not be impatient, there is something that the third uncle cannot do." ”

Zhang Laosan's ears were soft, and when he heard this, he immediately beat up his sleeves and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Energetic look.

"Zhang Lu has a good relationship with the seven barbarian kings on Daba Mountain, and Mr. Xu is afraid that the barbarian king will send troops to the rescue. Third uncle, you lead 2,000 elite soldiers to go with Mr. Xu and stop him. There are many barbarian kings, and we have few soldiers and horses, and the third uncle can't be a heavy responsibility. ”

Guan Ping continued to pat himself on the back.

"It's up to me." Zhang Laosan is already fluttering, and he is super motivated. So Guan Ping motioned to Xu Shu, Xu Shu nodded, and went down with Zhang Laosan, but before leaving, Xu Shu asked Guan Ping for 3,000 gold, and he didn't know what to do.

Guan Ping somewhat understood that Xu Shu was afraid that he had some other plans.

But no matter about him, Xu Shu still has a guaranteed character, play casually, and it won't be bad.

said that although Zhang Lu has become a turtle in the urn, there is still a possibility that the cooked duck will fly away. According to Xu Shu's strategy, Guan Ping sent Yi to Yangping Pass, sent Zhang Laosan, and Xu Shu to Daba Mountain in the south, which was to do the final collection work and not give Zhang Lu the possibility of counterattack.

After sending Xu Shu and Zhang Laosan away, Guan Ping was planning to go back to the Chinese army's tent to rest for a day or two. Seeing Zhou Xiong turn back, he said to Guan Ping, "My lord." Chenggu County ordered Wang Mian to lead Minzhuang to escort 1,000 stone of grain to the camp. ”

This is normal.

Guan Ping thought that he would go to Fangling to transport grain, but he attacked Hucheng, and Hucheng had sufficient grain and grass equipment. Now occupying nine cities in Hanzhong, Sun Qian is transporting grain in Chenggu, and Guanping's current grain is completely provided by the nine counties of Hanzhong.

However, this Chenggu County Commander Wang Mian still needs to be seen.

Because this person is quite courageous, he is the first person to kill the head sacrifice wine placed by Zhang Lu in the county and respond to Guan Ping.

Guan Ping nodded and led the people back to the big tent of the Chinese army. When he entered the tent, he saw a young man sitting below. Seeing Guan Ping enter the big tent, the young man immediately stood up, bowed and saluted, "Xiaguan has seen General Ming." ”

This title is actually very well-known.

After Guan Ping occupied Hucheng, he proclaimed himself the Taishou of Hanzhong, General Yang Wu, and pulled the banner to compete with Zhang Lu for Hanzhong. Now that Hanzhong has arrived, Hanzhong Taishou has already hammered.

Guan Ping is still a Fang Ling Taishou.

As his power expanded, Sekihei had to set up a higher shogunate to command the two prefectures. So Guan Ping did not have the consent of the imperial court, and it did not conform to the system.

Sun Qian was promoted to General Yang Wu Gong Cao, Yi was the chief secretary of General Yang Wu, and Ma Liang was the chief secretary of General Yang Wu, so as to command Fangling and the two counties of Hanzhong.

Therefore, at present, the county commanders and officials in Hanzhong call Guan Ping "General Ming".

The nature of the Ming generals is the same as that of the Ming Duke and the Ming Mansion, and the praise attribute is the meaning of the wise and martial general.

"Wang County's order is hard." Guan Ping helped Wang Mian up and said kindly. immediately sat down and ordered Zhou Xiong to buy wine to entertain Wang Mian.

After Guan Ping entertained Wang Mian, he left Wang Mian to stay in the army for one night, and the next morning, he asked Wang Mian to go back to Chenggu County to continue to assist Sun Qian, transfer taxes, grain and grass.
