Chapter 106: Zhang Lu descends

Cheng Gu Po, Zhang Liao and Wei Yan let the army rest for three days, and drove troops to surround Nanzheng City. [with _ dream]ā

Zhang Lu didn't expect Chenggu to be captured by the Han army so easily, so he didn't care about punishing Yang Bai and Yan Pu, and urgently ordered the soldiers to go to the city to defend strictly.

Yang Song said: "Shi Jun, at present, the army of Weiyang and Baozhong has not moved, why don't you know that the defenders of the two cities will come to help, and when the time is agreed, Shi Jun will personally lead the men and horses to fight, and the Han army will be defeated by attacking in three ways." ”

Yan Pu said that he was sick and didn't dare to see Zhang Lu again, Zhang Lu thought about it for a while, felt that Yang Song's idea was good, nodded and said, "Good, Yang Junshi will arrange it himself." ”

Yang Song was overjoyed, so that he took the letter, took Zhang Lu's order to the two cities, secretly wrote a book himself, and under the pretext of inspecting the city defense, he took a cold look and shot the letter near the Han soldiers who were patrolling.

The soldier picked up the letter and came to see Zhang Liao and Wei Yan, and after the two finished watching, they looked at each other and laughed. called Guan Hai and Ma Feng, carefully advised, and the two took the order to leave.

Three days later. The gate of Nanzheng City was wide open, and Zhang Lu led his troops out of the city, set up a formation, and confronted the Han army. Zhang Lu has been in Hanzhong for so many years, and his subordinates are pitiful, Zhang Lu listened to Yang Song's words and led his troops out of the city, only following Yang Bai alone, Yang Song used the excuse of defending the city and stayed in the city. As soon as Zhang Lu's formation was lined up, the Han army waved its flag in Dazhai, and a team drove out of the camp and came to the wilderness to set up a formation. Yang Bai said: "Master, take advantage of the unstable position of its formation, attack it quickly, and you will win a complete victory." ”

Zhang Lu said: "The sergeants of the Han Dynasty are all my ghost soldiers, as soon as the order of the master comes out, he will definitely fight to the death, and when he stabilizes the formation, Yang Ang and Yang Ren will come, and they will destroy the Han army." ”

Yang Bai knew Zhang Lu's prestige in the Hanzhong army, and the soldiers who were brainwashed by the doctrine were extremely loyal to Zhang Lu, but when the two armies faced each other, not only loyalty could solve the problem, the fighter plane was fleeting, the opportunity was missed, the battlefield situation was ever-changing, and he had to rely on strength to speak.

Seeing that the Han army's formation was stable, Zhang Lu pulled out his long sword and said loudly: "Charge." ”

Yang Bai was helpless, and led the troops to rush out. Here, Zhang Liao and Wei Yan also commanded men and horses to meet them. Zhang Lu looked left and right in the formation, hoping to see the shadow of Yang Ang and Yang Ren's army, the two armies had been fighting together for an hour, but it had not yet arrived.

Sergeant Han relied on a sharp spirit to resist for a while at first, but unfortunately once the sharp spirit passed, compared with the elite of the Han army, the gap in combat power was too large, and the war became a one-sided killing at this time. Sergeant Han looked forward to his master's ability to fight with a sword, and asked for the help of the heavenly soldiers in the future, so he couldn't help but look at Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu was anxious in his heart, what do you think I do? Concentrate and fight hard to kill the enemy. The Han sergeant couldn't wait for the heavenly soldiers and generals, and seeing that the Han army was extremely brave, the formation wavered, and slowly retreated. Yang Bai blocked left and right, and was killed by Wei Yan and panted, seeing that there were not many guards left around him, he shook a shot, beat the horse and fled back to his own position. Wei Yan took the opportunity to kill him. Zhang Liao led the cavalry back and forth in the Hanzhong army, gradually disrupting the Hanzhong army, Zhang Liao saw that the goal was achieved, shouted, and killed Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu was surrounded by the elite of Hanzhong, and the captain of the pro-soldier army stepped forward to resist Zhang Liao, and was shot by Zhang Liao and jumped off the horse. Zhang Lu was shocked, the force of the pro-soldier captain was not a blow to others, and the rest of the pro-soldiers were not worth mentioning, he was afraid in his heart, and galloped towards the city. Coming to the city gate, Zhang Lu ordered the city gate to be opened, and Yang Song stood at the head of the city and said: "Shijun, Song has dedicated Nanzheng to the Han army. ”

Zhang Lu didn't care about the dignity of Shijun, and scolded Yang Song, Yang Song said: "Release the arrow." Zhang Lu saw that it was not his head, and hurriedly retreated. Zhang Lu left the army formation, the morale of the Hanzhong army fell early, the Han army took the opportunity to surrender, Zhang Liao and Wei Yan surrounded Zhang Lu and hundreds of soldiers near the city gate. Poor Zhang Lu has no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground, regretting that he should have listened to Yan Pu's words earlier, and he should have fought for the jade silk, not only could he be saved, but the soldiers around him would not make senseless sacrifices. Zhang Liao looked at the embarrassed Zhang Lu and said: "Zhang Lu Shijun, the reinforcements in Chuyang and Baozhong, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect myself, and the king is in the city, why not surrender early?" ”

Zhang Lu said: "If it weren't for Yang Song's seller, why would Zhang Lu be here? ”

Zhang Liao said: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." Shijun is a corner of Hanzhong and wants to compete with my emperor, isn't it a fool's dream? ”

Zhang Lu said with a sword in his hand: "It's a pity, I don't pass it on." "Then wipe it off your neck.

"Shijun, please stop quickly," Zhang Liao shouted when he saw this, "Before leaving, the emperor explained that the teachings preached by Shijun will help educate the people." If the master is obedient, the emperor will reward Longhu Mountain as the Holy See, so that the teachings of the master will be passed on from generation to generation. ”

Zhang Lu's eyes widened and said, "Is this true? ”

Zhang Liao said: "Zhang is so bold, how dare he fake the holy decree? ”

Zhang Lu lowered his long sword and said slowly: "Zhang Lu is willing to surrender." ”

Yang Song opened the city gate to welcome the Han army into the city, Zhang Liao glanced at Wei Yan, Wei Yan understood, and the cavalry rushed into the city first. Yang Song came to Zhang Liao with a smile and said: "Song lives up to the general's trust, he has dedicated Nanzheng, and the general's promise, I don't know when to fulfill it?" ”

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "The thief who sells for glory is not ashamed, and he seeks wealth with shame? ”

Yang Song was furious, and he was about to do it, Zhang Liao twisted his spear and pierced Yang Song's heart, "Disloyal and unrighteous people, what's the use of keeping it?" ”

Because of a little greed, Yang Song accelerated the defeat of Hanzhong and gave his own life.

Zhang Liao came to Zhang Lu's side and said: "Shijun, the emperor said: Shijun only preaches doctrine in Longhu Mountain, and is not allowed to gather troops to interfere in politics. ”

When Zhang Lu heard Zhang Liao say what the emperor said, he had already knelt on the ground, buckled his head and said, "Obey the emperor's teachings." ”

"Shijun can pack up and go to Longhu Mountain as soon as possible."

Zhang Lu said: "Lu doesn't bring the finances of the house, only the family, and will set off soon." ”

Zhang Liao said: "Shijun misunderstood, how can building a house on Longhu Mountain work without property? Could it be that Shijun can really turn stones into gold? ”

Zhang Lu said embarrassedly: "It's just illusion, and it's okay to confuse stupid men and fools in the world." ”

Zhang Liao laughed and led his troops into the city.

Yuan Shu ascended the throne in Shouchun and became the emperor, and the country name was Zhong. It's hard to think about the country name of Yuan Shu, is it because he is the second child?

Yuan Shu was called the emperor, and the spearhead of public opinion suddenly had a place to vent, Sun Quan first opposed, with Zhou Yu as the general, to attack Jiujiang, Liu Biao also expressed his position, and ordered his son Liu Qi to send troops to Lujiang and attack Shouchun.

Yuan Shu's protΓ©gΓ© had become a shrunken turtle at this time, and none of them stood up to speak for him. Yuan Shu had no choice but to cheer up and organize people to resist.

Originally, in history, Yuan Shu's strength was much stronger than Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu was the county guard of Nanyang at the beginning. Nanyang County is a large county with a population of more than one million, but it is a pity that Yuan Shu does not know how to cherish it and extorts violently. Yuan Shu recruited the grain and grass he received, and received his younger brother Sun Jian to charge for him, and soon controlled Yuzhou, Jingzhou and Yangzhou, all of which were rich lands. Yuan Shao fought with Yuan Shu for territory, and was also defeated by Yuan Shu. Sun Jian attacked Jiangxia and was shot to death by Huang Zu, and Sun Ce followed Yuan Shu with a large family. Later, Sun Ce found an opportunity to borrow troops from Yuan Shu and left with his father's old subordinates, so he began to conquer Jiangdong and had his own territory. Yuan Shu was called the emperor, Sun Ce took the opportunity to break with Yuan Shu, and grabbed a lot of territory from Yuan Shu's hands, and his strength was further strengthened, so that he could dominate Jiangdong and be known as the little overlord of Jiangdong.

When the news of Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor reached Luoyang, Liu Ze was not angry, and a large group of subordinates quit and insisted on sending troops to destroy Yuan Shu. Liu Ze pushed the boat down the river, followed the good as the stream, and agreed to the opinions of the ministers. Now that Yuan Shu's territory is only two counties, it is difficult for Yuan Shu's head to be rusted somehow, and he dares to be called the emperor in this form? Liu Ze ordered Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xiahoudun, and Xu Huang to be generals, and the troops were divided into four routes to attack Shouchun. There is a chance to take all the territory of Jingyang Erzhou in Jiangbei.

Compared with the Han army, Sun Quan's Jiangdong soldiers and horses and Liu Biao's Jingzhou soldiers and horses were much farther away from Shouchun. Guan Yu and the other four-way armies marched together to capture several barriers on the periphery of Shouchun City. Xia Cai, Ping'a, Dangtu, Yicheng, and Yinling are all in a hurry.

If any of these cities are broken, Shouchun will be exposed in front of the army. Yuan Shu ordered Zhang Xun, General Yang, Liu Xun, Qiao Rui, Chen Lan, and Lei Bo to be generals, each with 5,000 men and horses to rescue the five cities. Yan Xiang said: "Your Majesty, if you send troops like this and the troops are scattered, it is better for the five armies to gather in one city, first cut off the Han army all the way, and then slowly draw it." ”

Yuan Shu said: "The elite of the Han army, I intend to refuse to defend the city, not to fight, and to retreat when its food is exhausted." ”

If people's military supplies are so close, will there be problems with food and grass? But the emperor on the other side, Yan Xiang didn't have the courage to refute, so he had to say: "The emperor is wise." ”

Yuan Shu didn't know the bottom in his heart, although the army was sent out, he had to get by, while he was still alive, he enjoyed himself. Yuan Shu locked himself in the harem, drinking wine every day and singing every night.

Xia Cai was the closest to Shouchun, and Guan Yu forcibly attacked Xia Cai. Chen Ji, the general of Xia Cai, watched the Han army show off its might under the city, how could he dare to go out of the city to fight? Only the gates of the city were tightly closed, and the soldiers went up to the city and defended in shifts.

When the Han army attacked the city, it had already summed up a set of rules, the stone-throwing vehicle smashed first, and then the siege vehicle and the ladder followed. Since the advent of gunpowder, the blowing up of the city gates has been added. Guan Yu squinted Danfeng's eyes, cast a contemptuous gaze at Chen Ji on the head of the city, and with a wave of the big knife, the stone-throwing car moved, and the boulder rose in the air and smashed into the city. Chen Ji had heard that the stone-throwing cart was powerful, and when he saw such power, his legs trembled with fright, and he hurriedly hid in the city gate tower. Sergeant Yuan panicked for a while, and at the cost of hundreds of lives, he knew where it was safest to hide.

Seeing that all the soldiers were hiding, Guan Yu ordered to shoot the ropes of the drawbridge, lower the drawbridge, and then burn the city gate. Dozens of archers ignited the rockets, aimed at them, and shot towards the drawbridge cable. The suspension bridge weighs several thousand catties and is raised and lowered by thick hemp rope. Dozens of people are thousands of masters, and after a while, the rope of the suspension bridge was ignited by a rocket, and the suspension bridge fell to the ground with a clatter. The bed crossbow could shoot six or seven hundred paces, and the arrow was wrapped around the oil cloth, and after being lit, it roared towards the city gate. Seeing that the city gate was almost burning, Guan Yu ordered the archers to shoot arrows at the city, and at the same time caused the gunpowder to explode the city gate.

Chen Ji never dreamed that the city gate would be broken so easily, and he was still hiding in the city gate tower shivering. Guan Yu has already marched forward. Seeing this, the soldiers near the city gate came to stop them, and Guan Yu's Qinglong Glaive Knife waved like a windmill, quickly killing the nearby soldiers. When the catapult saw its own army entering the city, it stopped throwing shots, and the follow-up men and horses continued to enter the city.

Guan Yu led the troops to kill the head of the city, Chen Ji heard that the stone-throwing cart stopped, and was coming out to check the situation, Guan Yu's war horse arrived early, and Chen Ji was killed with a knife, and the head was thrown more than a foot high.
