Chapter 229: The Phoenix Walks Without a Trace

Yizhou, Jiamengguan

"This is the chain catapult that Cao Jun attacked us?" Shi Yue looked at the looted siege weapons and observed.

Zhang Heyan: "This is the world's public loss, Ma Jun made, it is said that the military division also asked him to manufacture and improve a lot of equipment. ”

"Ma Jun?" Who is it? I didn't write in the book that I didn't know. Shi Yue didn't know this person. But when I think about it, there should indeed be such people in this era, and the more war-torn the era, the more capable people there are. Back then, Boss Cao seemed to have found a group of skilled craftsmen, digging graves, astrological and geographical people, but he had never seen one.

"But this thing is in the land of Hanzhong, it's not lucky, it hinders the march." Shi Yue said.

Zhang He explained, "This is what he stayed from when he attacked Zhang Lu in Hanzhong before. In Chang'an, Zhang was responsible for manufacturing, and then transported here, one is to attack Hanzhong, and the other is to deal with Yizhou. However, we can't use this thing. ”

Zhang Lu? Shi Yue suddenly remembered something in his mind. "I heard that the Hanzhong Five Dou Rice Sect is like a god, but what about its people?"

Zhang Heyan: "After the capture of Hanzhong, Zhang Lu was transferred to Yecheng, and died of illness half a year later, probably under Pang Tong's black hand. This person is very good at demagoguery, and most of the disciples in the previous Hanzhong Army, Cao Jun did not use it at all, and stayed for defense. Now we are fighting all the Cao army from the north. ”

"Huh!" Shi Yue Yixi. "That is to say, there are many Hanzhong cultists left in the land of Hanzhong now."

Zhang He glared, as if he understood.

Shi Yueyan: "You said this kind of thing earlier." ”

Zhang Heyan: "The military advisor wants to use a strategy to attack the heart, but I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve results......

"I know. My purpose is not to be effective......" Shi Yue replied.

Inside the city pass

Liu Bei convened everyone to discuss, and then marched strategically.

"Now the armies of Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu are temporarily retreating, and the crisis of Jiameng Pass is temporarily resolved. It is the time to take the initiative, and if you don't attack, you may not have a chance. Liu Bei said.

"Tiandang Mountain is the grain land of the Hanzhong garrison, and only by destroying this supply can we have a chance to win. Kong Mingru collar dragon to take here! Huang Quanru, Meng Da, and Huo Jun stayed at Jiameng Pass to prevent enemy attacks. The rest marched with me across the waters. ”

Liu Bei gave the order, and the army was ready to go everywhere.

Baocheng

Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu temporarily retired here.

"Report! Jiameng Pass, Liu Bei's army is dispatched, an army is going to Tiandang Mountain, and an army is probably going to Yangping Pass! ”

The two listened to the words and discussed. "Tiandang Mountain is the land of grain and grass in Hanzhong, if it is lost, our army will have to rely on Xudu to transport grain next. Supplies will be limited, and the battle will likely drag on. What Liu Jun did must have been to make our army's food and grass supply unable to supply it, so he withdrew on his own. Cao Zhen analyzed.

Cao Xiuyan said: "Tiandang Mountain is guarded by the third brother, and the military division has been left behind, and the Liu army cannot break it." Yangping Pass is an important place in Hanzhong, and to break this pass is to have the idea of advancing to Nanzheng from there. It also meant abandoning the route of attacking Nanzheng from Brazil. ”

Cao Zhen said: "Uncle Hong is attacking in Brazil County, and the enemy army is powerless to resist alone, and the counterattack from there is extremely unfavorable, so he abandoned it." ”

Cao Xiuyan said: "We will go to Yangping Pass to help Wang Ping." ”

On the waterway road, Liu Jun took a boat to cross the road to the top.

"If you don't go to Yangping Pass, I'll just say, there is a ball advantage in attacking Yangping Pass." Shi Yue looked at the direction of the march and muttered.

Wei Yan said: "Tackling key problems cannot solve the crisis in Hanzhong, and there is only one way for our army to solve the crisis, destroying grain." Kong Ming's military division went to Tiandang Mountain in person, but the enemy Pang Tong must be on guard, and you have no chance to see the battle between the two in person. ”

There is something in this battle, Shi Yue has been wondering, where is Pang Tong? I can't find out if I go to Nanzheng, and I will know the movements of the enemy generals in every battle in the past, but this time I only heard about his plot and didn't see his people, which made me very uneasy.

"What does Wen Chang mean that Pang Tong will be in Tiandang Mountain?" Shi Yue asked.

Wei Yanyan: "Where else can he go besides this important place?" ”

Shi Yue looked at Zhang He, he didn't know that he had descended before Pang Tong came, and he had no chance to participate.

Where are the people?

Nam Zheng

Cao Ang Bingtun here, recently from Jingzhou came to an urgent report, Yu Ban surrendered, Xu Huang faced Zhang Fei's army attack, Nanyang can break it at any time.

The military ministers of Hanzhong were shocked, and they all found it hard to believe that Yu Ban had surrendered to the enemy.

Xu Chu shouted angrily: "Lord, I can go to Jingzhou with reinforcements, retreat Zhang Fei, and kill the traitor!" ”

Cao Ang said: "Zhong Kang is not angry, Xu Huang said in his letter that General Yu Ban surrendered to the enemy, which is a life-saving strategy, and he must not think that Yu Ban has been my Cao family for many years, born and died, and there is no record of surrendering to the enemy and cowardly." If this is the case, I am afraid it is a last resort. ”

Since the Hanzhong War, first Zhang He defected to the enemy, and now he heard that he was forbidden to surrender to the enemy, Xu Chu naturally became angry. In addition, I don't like to think about it, so naturally I can't think about it so much.

Cao Ang asked: "Now that the military division is not here, the danger of Nanyang?" Should I send troops to help? ”

Some people persuaded that troops should be sent to help Xu Huang retreat from the enemy, and Nanyang was the last place where Cao's army occupied Jingzhou and could not be abandoned. Saving each other from the ban is also out of love.

There are also people who hinder it, now Hanzhong is undecided, and troops cannot be transferred to go, the land of Nanyang, don't do it, and then take Hanzhong, Jingzhou will soon be its own.

Cao Ang listened to the annoyance, tangled, and had his own reasons.

Cao Ang saw that Liu Ye below was calm, not as excited as others, and asked, "Ziyang, what do you think?" ”

Liu Ye said, "Each statement has a deep meaning, and I don't know what it is good for." However, recently, I heard about it in Nanzhengzhong, and it gradually spread the word. ”

Cao Ang was suspicious, "What's the matter?" ”

"Many of the people and soldiers in Hanzhong were Zhang Lu's disciples, and Zhang Lu died of illness in Yecheng. However, some people in the city have spread rumors in recent days that Zhang Lu was killed by the main public army. Many of them have the opposite meaning, but I will suppress them. Liu Ye said.

When Cao Ang heard this, he thought to himself that if he sent his own Cao army out and stayed in Hanzhong to teach too many soldiers, it would not seem to be good for him. Sending these Hanzhong soldiers and horses to it may be difficult to command, and there may be changes.

"What Ziyang said, I suddenly also, and Xu Huang of the book, tell him, if you can't hold it, you will withdraw from the army, and Nanyang will not want it." Cao Ang said.

Jingzhou, Nanyang

"Xu Huang dares to fight!" Zhang Fei's soldiers shouted under the city.

Xu Huang in the city was unmoved, just waiting for the book from Hanzhong.

Zhang Fei under the city said to Xu Shu: "This person is determined to stick to the fight." ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "He has already passed with the book, just waiting for news, and I am not in a hurry." You don't have to really storm it. If the enemy really comes to the aid of Hanzhong, it will be difficult for us to hold Nanyang, and we will have to retreat to Xiangyang in the end. If you don't come, you can attack it with confidence. ”

Zhang Feiyan: "It can only be like this, I don't know what the battle situation is in Hanzhong?" ”

Xu Shu's expression was solemn, "Shiyuan's talent is no less than Kong Ming, and now that Cao Jun has the advantage, Kong Ming is struggling step by step at this time." The two armies fought each other to plot and move, fearing that the enemy would know what they were planning. Second, I am afraid that the enemy army will not know what to do. ”

"Now the situation is probably that our army does not know the enemy's strategy, and the enemy army knows our army's strategy."

Zhang Fei said: "How can Yuan Zhiru only increase the popularity of others, don't forget that there is also Pan Feng's military division, the military division is the best in the world, and he will definitely be able to defeat that phoenix." ”
