Liu Xun, the emperor of Shu Han, once again gathered an army of 200,000 and set off for Hanzhong.

Carefully return to Luoyang.

Empress Dowager Cao had reached an agreement with Tang Zhen to send troops to Hanzhong to fight against Liu Xun.

The layout of this Hanzhong war can be described as huge, and it was fought in two batches, the first was resistance, and the second was counterattack.

There are many new things in this layout, first of all, instead of defending in the Central Han Dynasty, but abandoning the central and western parts of Hanzhong, which are easy to attack and difficult to defend, using the method of deception and defeat to lure the enemy into depth, and then garrisoning Dingjun Mountain, using Dingjun Mountain as a stronghold, to carry out a rush to the aid of the operation.

In a place with wider terrain, completely annihilate the enemy army, and then start a counterattack.

The location of the troops is also divided into two places, the imperial court and the Tang family each sent 100,000 horses, the right soldiers of Tang Jialong went to Fengzhou and Xingzhou from the north to aid Dingjun Mountain, and the imperial court men and horses went from Jingbei to the west, and went to Suizhou and Fangzhou to aid Dingjun Mountain.

The choice of the coach also surprised everyone, and the commander of the second war in Hanzhong turned out to be the old general Zhang Yunlong.

At the age of seventy-one, he took charge.

On the first day of the old general's command, he began to dispatch generals, and the first one to be named was Tang Yuan, "Let that stinky boy prepare to be a pioneer for me." 10,000 people were not enough, so Cao Dingbang arranged another 10,000 for him, and the Flying Tiger Army sent two divisions, and the other division was also managed by Tang Yuan. Let Cao Dingguo, the Tiger Army, send me two more divisions, General Yunlu let him choose by himself, and finally the Xuanjia Army, I will take 60,000 people. ”

Hearing about this arrangement, the Queen Mother let Zhang Yunlong enter the apse and said, "Why don't you use Xiao Han?" ”

Zhang Yunlong said: "The old minister has already discussed with Cao Sheng, this time to counterattack Shu Han, I will take the lead, and Cao Sheng will fight the back, which is also formulated in accordance with the decision of the Queen Mother and Prime Minister Tang Zhen." After I defeated Shu Han, Cao Sheng led 100,000 troops directly into the hinterland of Shu Han, annihilated the puppet emperor in one fell swoop, and incorporated Sichuan and Shu into the territory of Daliang. At that time, Cao Sheng couldn't be without capable people around him, and Xiao Han was the most suitable person. ”

"Well, I'm happy with this arrangement." Empress Dowager Cao smiled: "I Guan Cen Shen is also a good general, and he can partner with Tang Yuan and be the pioneer of the left and right. ”

"Lao Chen still understands Cen Shen, and with Cen Shen's combat style, he is not suitable to be a pioneer." Zhang Yunlong was straightforward.

"Cen Shen has already written to me, he said that in this Hanzhong war, he will definitely move forward bravely and change everyone's opinion of him. I Guan Cen Shen is a talent, and I hope that General Zhang will give him this opportunity. "The Queen Mother has already said very politely, Zhang Yunlong can't refute it, anyway, when the time comes, the generals will be affected by foreign military orders, how to arrange the troops, it's not him Zhang Yunlong has the final say?

So Zhang Yunlong agreed.

Cen Shen had already arrived in the Yangtze River area at this time, and he was the deputy general of the Huben Army, who said hello to Cao Dingguo, took away the two strongest cavalry divisions, and approached Jingbei all the way to the dust, preparing to join Tang Yuan's troops.

At this time, Cao Dingbang, the general of Zhennan, was also helping Tang Yuan find a candidate, this person was not easy to choose, and he was a little uncertain, and finally he simply listened to Tang Yuan's opinion, Tang Yuan said that Han Dang, the seventh division of the Flying Tiger, was named, and Cao Dingbang agreed.

When Han Dang heard that he was going to be a deputy pioneer for Tang Yuan, he had mixed feelings, but he didn't say anything.

The 60,000 Xuanjia troops selected by Zhang Yunlong turned out to be all the Queen Mother's people, Zhang Zhikui, Huang Ying, Wan Lin, Su Beiqin, Ju Wuming, and Cao Bao.

Cao Bao was nervous and scolded Zhang Yunlong 10,000 times in his heart. Cao Bao belongs to a self-aware person, he knows his level very well, let him be a captain, they all look up to him, and now let him lead 10,000 people to fight, he really has no bottom in his heart.

ran to my cousin to intercede and said that he would change generals, but he was scolded by Empress Dowager Cao: "What's wrong with the boy of my Cao family?" Don't you have the courage to fight without strength? If you don't go, who will go? Let me go? ”

"Sister, just go with the leopard."

was scolded, honest, dejected and took the soldiers, and followed Zhang Yunlong.

Although this kid is not capable of himself, his self-knowledge saved him, and he brought a few capable people, two military generals, and a military advisor from a civilian background. Let the military generals charge him into battle, and let the civil officials give him advice. He himself said that he was actually an ornament.

However, his decoration is not simple, and the Queen Mother supports him now, and his waist is quite hard.

Two military generals and a civilian official also saw his backstage, so they were willing to give him his life.

At this time, Cao Sheng, the commander of the Second Route Army, was also gathering troops.

His task was to take 100,000 troops directly into the hinterland of Shu Han with 100,000 men after Zhang Yunlong defeated Liu Xun's 200,000 troops. He chose the pioneer officer none other than Xiao Han. At the same time, he asked the Shence army to keep Bai Ke and let Bai Ke lead 50,000 troops to move closer to him, and he decided to gather these 100,000 people in Xiangcheng and then march west.

Hanzhong General Lin Chongyang had already begun to arrange an evacuation plan, and he couldn't leave the supplies to Liu Xun, so he asked the people to evacuate with the supplies.

Leaving a unit to fight against the enemy's vanguard, defeated all the way, luring the enemy deep into the battle, until the fixed army battle, no longer retreating, 60,000 people stubbornly defended the fixed army battle.

At this time, Tang Xiao, the Duke of Chang'an, as the deputy marshal of the Second War in Hanzhong, led 40,000 horses from Chang'an to support Lin Chongyang.

He brought Dian Han and Shu Han to surrender to Fan Zhenyu.

Dian Han belongs to the meritorious service of Dai Sin, so he seems a little excited, and the speed of the march is jaw-dropping.

Fan Zhenyu was steady and steady, marching at a normal speed to prevent the lone army from penetrating, and Tang Xiao also sent a fast horse to tell the Dian Han not to rush in.

Liu Xun, the emperor of Shu Han, came to fight Hanzhong this time, and the deputy marshal Guan Xiong was the executive commander.

Guan Xiong has commanded the army for many years, and there are thirteen Taibao under his command, all of whom are the best among the people, each commanding 10,000 troops, all the way through the pass and beheading the generals, and reaching Dingjun Mountain.

Of course, his victory came from Lin Chongyang's deliberate defeat.

Guan Xiong could see it clearly, but Liu Xun mistakenly thought that it was his heavenly soldiers who destroyed the withering and decaying, and claimed that he would hit Luoyang within a year, capture the Empress Dowager Cao and Zhao Ce alive, and let the Empress Dowager Cao be his maid to accompany the bed, and let Zhao Ce be the eunuch who washed the toilet for him.

Southern Jin Dynasty, Jinling.

The old emperor Sima Zhen was drowsy above the court, and suddenly heard Xin Wuxian, the deputy auxiliary minister of the cabinet, say that the Emperor of Shu Han had launched the second Hanzhong War, he suddenly woke up and said: "This kid is hairy, and he is going to fight again?" So, how did the Liang Dynasty respond? ”

After listening to the arrangement of the Liang Dynasty, Sima Zhen looked worried, "Liu Xun is looking for death by himself now." I look at this battle, and he can't escape the fate of the country. But...... Unable to let the Liang Dynasty succeed, Kuaima informed Sima Wuci and asked him to make some moves in Jingzhou to contain Cao Sheng's Second Route Army and not let them leave Jingzhou. Shu Han can't perish, otherwise the Liang Dynasty will concentrate on dealing with us, and we will be uncomfortable. ”。

Yan Songling, the first assistant minister of the cabinet, said: "The eighth prince has already written to him, and he said that he hopes to let Cao Sheng go over, take advantage of the emptiness of the Liang Dynasty, and go straight to Huanglong to attack Luoyang." ”

"No." Sima Zhen said: "If the Liang Dynasty is overthrown, then who will block the northern horseback people for us?" Does he Sima Wuci have this ability? ”
