Chapter 379: Hanzhong VS Yizhou

However, Zhuge Liang obviously thought too much, under Zhang Dingbian's strict order, the Jingling garrison did not show signs of going out of the city, but this did not delay the Jingzhou army and the new field soldiers and horses to continue to attack the city, after most of the day's rest, the Jingzhou army and the new field army came to attack the city again, without the obstruction of the moat, the Jingzhou army and the new field army can attack from any direction of the city wall, which also let the Jingzhou army and the new field soldiers and horses play a strong advantage, the afternoon battle just broke out, and it directly entered a white-hot state, The Jingzhou Army and the Xinye Soldiers and Horses were divided into three divisions, constantly rotating to attack the city, not giving the defenders in the city a chance to breathe at all.

……

Just when Cao Cao fought against Hebei and Yuan Yao fought against Jingzhou, all the princes in the world also moved!

The land of Hanzhong is not far from Xuchang, Cao Cao sent troops not long after, Zhang Lu also got the news that Cao Cao sent troops to the north to attack Yuan Shao, Zhang Lu learned about this, immediately rejoiced, personally mentioned 50,000 elite soldiers to attack the gateway of Yizhou Jiameng Pass, at this time it was Liu Zhang sent by Liu Zhang to guard the Jiameng Pass, and there were 20,000 Yizhou soldiers guarding the Jiameng Pass.

Although the Yizhou soldiers were negligent in training, although their combat strength was not good, Zhang Rennai was a general in Yizhou, and the terrain of Jiameng Pass was dangerous, and the city defense was strong, which was extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Zhang Lu was difficult to get any benefits for a while, and it would take a long time for him to capture Jiameng Pass. However, although Zhang Ren guarded Jiameng Pass, he did not dare to hide the news of Zhang Lu's invasion of Jiameng Pass in Hanzhong, and hurriedly reported the matter to Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang!

When Liu Zhang learned about Zhang Lu's march into Yizhou, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly sent someone to gather everyone under his tent to discuss the matter, and it is no wonder that Liu Zhang is so worried about Zhang Lu, you must know that there is a feud between Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu who killed his mother and killed the whole family!

It is said that Zhang Lu's grandfather is the famous Zhang Tianshi Zhang Daoling, and his father is the second-generation Heavenly Master Zhang Heng, according to reason, Zhang Lu should be the head of the Heavenly Master Dao, that is, the head of the Wudoumi Sect, but because Zhang Lu's father Zhang Heng died young, Zhang Lu was still too young to be a director at that time, so Zhang Lu only hung the title of Heavenly Master, but did not actually grasp the power of the Heavenly Master Dao, at this time it was Zhang Xiu who really grasped the power of the Heavenly Master Dao.

As Zhang Lu grew up day by day, Zhang Xiu became more and more jealous of Zhang Lu, and Zhang Lu became more and more jealous of Zhang Xiu, both of them knew that sooner or later they would have to settle accounts with each other, and they knew that one of them could stop if they fell!

At that time, the scope of activities of Tianshi Dao was in Yizhou, mainly concentrated in the area of Hanzhong County, and Liu Yan succeeded to the position of Yizhou pastor after pacifying the Yizhou Yellow Turban, and the power of Yizhou was in the hands of Liu Yan.

Liu Yan believes in the Tao of the Heavenly Master, Zhang Lu recommended his mother who knows the essence of the Tao of the Heavenly Master to Liu Yan, Zhang Lu's mother is very beautiful, and she is good at observing words and feelings, so she is very loved by Liu Yan. In order to consolidate the independent status of Yizhou, Liu Yan led the army to attack Hanzhong with Zhang Xiu as the main general and Zhang Lu as the deputy general.

The land of Hanzhong is the sphere of influence of the Heavenly Master Dao, so Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu quickly killed Hanzhong Taishou Su Gu and captured the land of Hanzhong, Zhang Lu with Liu Yan's tacit support, beheaded Zhang Xiu and seized Zhang Xiu's military power, and was appointed by Liu Yan as the Taishou of Hanzhong. In any case, Zhang Lu was still very loyal to Liu Yan, and even burned the plank road according to Liu Yan's orders, cut off the connection between Yizhou and the outside world, and made Yizhou an independent kingdom in the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Lu's mother used her posture and means to make Liu Yan obey her words, although this consolidated Zhang Lu's position, but it also offended one person, that is, Liu Zhang, who was favored by Zhang Lu and his mother!

At this time, Liu Zhang chose to swallow his anger, but this does not mean that Liu Zhang will admit it, after Liu Yan's death, Liu Zhang became the lord of Yizhou, Liu Zhang succeeded to Yizhou pastor, the first thing he did was to pick out some trivial things to kill Zhang Lu's mother and Zhang Lu's family relatives!

Zhang Lu is a cultivator, originally he didn't have much ambition, if Liu Zhang treated Zhang Lu's mother well, or used some other strategies, maybe Zhang Lu would not rebel or not rebel, but Liu Zhang didn't take Zhang Lu in his eyes at all, and directly recorded the account and killed his mother and family!

When his mother and family were killed, Zhang Lu was immediately angry, it was not easy to say that Zhang Lu was not easy, although Zhang Lu was promoted by Liu Yan to be the Taishou of Hanzhong, but Zhang Lu also did a lot of dirty work for Liu Yan behind his back, strictly speaking, Zhang Lu did not owe Liu Yan anything! Now Liu Zhang directly killed Zhang Lu's mother and family, Zhang Lu immediately reversed, and directly led the Hanzhong soldiers and horses south to attack Yizhou, wanting to capture and kill Liu Zhang to avenge his mother!

Liu Zhang saw Zhang Lu's rebellion, and he didn't take Zhang Lu in his eyes at first, in his opinion, he used a state to suppress a county, which was just a matter of killing an ant!

But the land of Hanzhong is not the same as other places, the power of the land of Hanzhong is under the governance of Zhang Lu, and it adopts the **** method, and the soldiers and horses under him are the county soldiers of Hanzhong, and they are also the disciples of the Wudoumi Sect!

The mother and family of the head of the family were killed, which also aroused the anger of the disciples of the Wudoumi Sect, so when the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong were fighting, they were not afraid of death, and they fought very bravely, and the Hanzhong army could be said to be united!

But the Yizhou army is different, Liu Zhang is still young at this time, most of the power in Yizhou is in the hands of the old ministers left by Liu Yan, most of these old ministers themselves are from the scholar family, they have already regarded their army as their own private soldiers, these old ministers are naturally unwilling to fight to the death with the Hanzhong army for Liu Zhang, is it good for them!

The Yizhou army has its own thoughts, the Hanzhong army is united, such a comparison, this gap immediately came out, on the battlefield Yizhou army was killed by Zhang Lu's Hanzhong army defeated and retreated, after a few battles, Yizhou not only lost many soldiers and horses, but also occupied a lot of territory by Zhang Lu.

But after all, there is only one county in the land of Hanzhong, although the Hanzhong army is brave and good at fighting, but they are limited after all, after a few big battles, the Hanzhong army is also seriously damaged, Zhang Lu also had to stop the campaign, began to rectify the newly occupied territory, so the war in the land of Hanzhong and Yizhou was temporarily stopped.

Later, Cao Cao occupied the land of Chang'an and Guanzhong, Cao Cao naturally would not do anything Zhang Lu's annexation of Yizhou became his own big trouble, so Cao's army would often be stationed in Hanzhong to put pressure on Zhang Lu, so in recent years, Zhang Lu has never found the opportunity to continue to attack Yizhou, and now Cao's army is going north, and the west is going west, and the Hanzhong army can finally be mobilized, and Zhang Lu immediately raised troops to fight Yizhou!
