Chapter 863: The Princes Arrive at Fangling

In the end, Zhang Ji spoke, "Today's matter will be revealed, Wang Sima, Brother Ming, our friendship has been counted now, and it has been nearly 20 years, if you want to say that there is anything embarrassing and embarrassing, do you say yes or no?" ”

After listening to Zhang Ji's words, the three of them laughed at Ha Lu Ha Da Lu, in fact, this is really the case. As for Yan Pu, he didn't smile like the three of them, but he also smiled at the three of them, but he knew that these three people were really the veterans of his own Liangzhou army, and they were in Dunhuang, so they followed their lords, and until now. So how did the three of them get along, although Yan Pu was later, after all, he had joined the Liangzhou Army for many years, and he had been staying in Hanzhong, so he knew what to do.

After that, a few people chatted for a while, and then Wang Yan and Pang Rou left, but although Zhang Ji said that today's matter had already been revealed, to be honest, in the hearts of the two, in fact, they are still a little embarrassed now. After all, if the two of them are compared with Zhang Jiqi, then it is really a superior judgment. The realm of the two of them is not as good as others, yes, people don't know that Lu Dao and the two of them are veterans, and I don't know if Lu Dao and the two of them especially want to go to Fangling to be this guard, but the most Lu still let Wang Ping go.

What this illustrates is that people don't think about their own selfishness, but for the sake of the whole army, for Hanzhong, and for the sake of the lord. And look at the two of them, it's completely for their own sake, so really, they can't be compared with Zhang Ji Zhang Derong. People have a sense of the overall situation, and the two of them have something to say. can only be said to be limited -

Wang Yan and Pang Rou said goodbye and left, while Zhang Ji and Yan Pu personally sent the two out of Lu to Taishou Mansion.

After seeing off Wang Yan and Pang Rou, Zhang Ji and Yan Pu returned to the living room of the Taishou Mansion. Yan Pu obviously felt it, Zhang was relieved, no wonder he was like this, after all, this thing really hadn't happened before, so it could be regarded as a test for Zhang Ji.

Seeing that Yan Pu was looking at him, after Zhang Ji put down his hanging heart, he said to Yan Pu at this time. "Now that the two of them are finally at ease, and they are also helping Mr. Loss, or they don't know how to worry about it!"

Yan Pu smiled when he heard this. "Taishou and the two generals have been friends for nearly 20 years, compared to even if they are not here, this matter will still be resolved satisfactorily. After all, whether it is General Wang Yan or General Heming, they are not the kind of unreasonable people! ”

To say that Yan Pu really thinks so. I didn't do anything in the first place. So even if Hanzhong doesn't have himself and he is not here today, Zhang Ji, the most reluctant, will still handle today's affairs well, so that Wang Yan and Pang Rou can rest assured. Don't say anything else, let's just talk about the friendship between the three of them, which is definitely comparable to the average-

After listening to Yan Pu's words, Zhang Ji only nodded slightly, but he still said. "In any case, today I would like to thank you, sir. Otherwise, it's really not easy to make Wang and his wife like this! ”

After speaking, he smiled bitterly twice, after all, what kind of temper are Wang Yan and Pang Rou, after so many years, Zhang Ji still doesn't know what to do. So with Yan Pu here, the two of them can somewhat converge a lot, but this is not wrong at all, so don't look at Yan Pu is not saying anything and it seems that he didn't do anything, but to be honest, it's true, as long as he sits there, it's stronger than what, can Zhang Ji still not know the way. And although Wang Yan and Pang Rou are veterans, it is impossible not to give Yan Pu face, this is even more true.

When Yan Pu heard this, he just smiled and didn't say more, in fact, he also knew in his heart that it was useless to say anything, it was impossible. However, he also knows the Tao, in fact, his own role is only minimal. But Zhang Ji, he said so, what else can he say, so be it, that's it, that's it.

In fact, in Yan Pu's opinion, it's really unnecessary, because this is too much, really, there's no need for that-

Wang Ping was in a hurry all the way, from Nanzheng, the seat of Hanzhong, and went directly to Fangling. For him, he doesn't have to worry about anything else, as long as he guards the Imperial Tomb well, then there is nothing to say. And he also knows in his heart that now is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as he performs well, then why worry about not being able to get into the eyes of his lord.

To tell the truth, Wang Ping is a native of Yizhou, but he did not take refuge in other counties in Yizhou, but came to Hanzhong.

After all, although Wang Ping didn't think how capable he was, he was definitely not a mediocre person, not a general, at least he still had some ability. So if you ask him to go to those counties that don't have a chance to fight, he will definitely not, so he chose Hanzhong after the last resort.

So what is Hanzhong for Lu, not Sili or other places, this has to be said to be Wang Ping's plan. In his opinion, even if he went directly to Ma Chao, it was estimated that he would not be reused at once, after all, as a powerful prince in the world, who knows who your prince Wang Ping is, at least Wang Ping didn't think that Ma Chao had heard of him. And he didn't think he had any reputation, at least the average person had never heard of him-

Therefore, for Wang Ping, instead of going directly to Ma Chao and not being reused, it is better to find a place to go to, and there is no place where Hanzhong is the most suitable for him. Why do you say this, because Wang Ping came out of his hometown to study. has been in Hanzhong for the longest time, it should be said that he has basically stayed in Hanzhong, and he also has a nickname. Ordinary people must not know the Tao of Lu, called "living map", listen to this nickname to know how much people know about Hanzhong, so he took refuge in Hanzhong Zhang Ji, what else.

So Wang Ping took refuge in Hanzhong Zhang Ji without hesitation and worked under his account. Let's be honest. Wang Ping also thought clearly, with his own ability, as long as he really encountered a war. I'm sure I'll be able to make a name for myself, so I'm still worried about my lord's eyes.

What's more, the geographical location of Hanzhong is destined to make it impossible for it to be peaceful forever. So it's right to be here. You can take 10,000 steps back. If there is really some accident, there has been no war in Hanzhong, and he is considered unlucky, and he can only admit it, isn't that it, and whatever-

But in fact, in Wang Ping's eyes, the possibility of war is greater than that there is no war, after all, Hanzhong, an important military town, if there is no war. Then maybe the world may really be peaceful, but this is not possible for a while.

The result is that he finally waited for the opportunity he has now. So he naturally cherishes such an opportunity, and he also knows that the gains and losses of the city are no longer the most important thing to him. And for myself, the most important thing is actually how to try to play my own level, so that the people of the world, let my lord and colleagues take a good look at whether my prince Wang Ping is really capable or boastful.

This is Wang Ping's idea, after all, if you want to get ahead, in the troubled times, you still have to rely more on military merits, especially if you think that your skills are good, even in the Liangzhou army, you can stand out and have such a place.

So he really cherished the opportunity that Zhang Ji gave him, after all, it is not always such an opportunity, and what he has been thinking about has finally come true one day-

Wang Ping came to Fangling, of course, before Cao Cao's army arrived, he arrived first, or it was too late, it was really troublesome, but fortunately, at least the intelligence here in Hanzhong was very fast, and Wang Ping's speed was faster, how to say that he came here alone and on a horse, so can it be slow.

After arriving at Fangling, Wang Ping took Zhang Ji, the Hanzhong Taishou's handwritten troop transfer warrant, and handed it over to the county order of Fangling, and then the county magistrate, county lieutenant and others of Fangling also read it one by one. I knew that Cao Cao was coming with a large army, so now the guard of Fangling will be replaced by this general Wang Pingwang from Nanzheng.

Fang Ling Ling said at this time, "In the Fang Ling war, there is General Lao Zijun!" ”

Wang Ping arched his hand and said, "Do your best!" ”

To be honest, Wang Ping is not so arrogant, nor is he so proud, and he has more or less heard of Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, so he didn't expect to be able to defend the tomb at all, although there is still some confidence, but there is definitely not so much. But even so, he thought that he was making some trouble for Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, but there was still no problem-

At this time, when they heard what Wang Ping said, Fang Ling Ling, Fang Ling County, the county lieutenant and others, seeing Wang Ping's attitude, they were relieved. After all, no matter what Wang Ping said, it was all sent by Zhang Ji, the Taishou of Hanzhong, so they inferred from common sense that how could they get this Wang Ping Prince Jun, it is estimated that his temper is not good, and it is likely that he will put up a fight in front of himself and others, and several people are ready.

But the truth is different from what they think, although they have never seen this Wang Ping Prince Junwang General before, but just look at his words, words and deeds, they know the way, and it is not that they are not easy to get along with, so they are relieved in their hearts, after all, if they deal with a person like that, it is true, anyway, a few people don't want to be like this.

So at this time, Fang Lingling, as a representative, said to Wang Ping, "If Mr. Zijun says this, then we are much more relieved!" ”

Let's be honest. These people are not bad, although they will not be loyal to Ma Chao and the Liangzhou army, but they will definitely not surrender easily. I also have to admit it. In Hanzhong, Ma Chao, the titular lord, did not manage Hanzhong much, but it was Zhang Ji, who made great contributions to Hanzhong.

Therefore, for those county commanders, county officials, and county lieutenants, not everyone will be loyal to Ma Chao, the nominal lord. But for the sake of Zhang Ji's face, basically no one will betray easily, this is true-

Wang Ping listened to Fang Lingling's words. Just smiled, "Guarding the Imperial Tomb, but I have to ask for everyone's help!" And under the believe, you are working together with someone. It must be able to make Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army feathers. I don't know what you think? ”

Wang Ping definitely can't say those things that may not be able to hold the city, so he must give everyone a firm and clear belief, that is, Fangling can be defended, as for whether these people believe it or not, it is not for him to say that he can decide.

But one thing is certain, that is, if these people are not honest, Wang Ping knows it in his heart. Then you must be in a lot of trouble, after all, it is indeed the same as you say. If you want to guard the Imperial Tomb well, then you must ask them to help, this is for sure.

After all, what is my familiarity with Fangling's city defense and defensive power? Now it's just a new arrival, although I've been here many times before, but after all, it's a different identity, so the things I understand are also different. At least now I still remember the terrain near Fangling, and what places are suitable for ambushes here, I still know this very clearly. But when it comes to other things, I really don't know much about it, so I have to rely on this group of people-

When Fang Ling Ling heard this, he hurriedly said, "Please rest assured that the general is everything, we will do our best to assist the general and not let the Yanzhou army take advantage of it!" ”

Several other people also hurriedly chimed in, "I won't let the Yanzhou army take advantage of it!" ”

Wang Ping nodded when he heard this, anyway, at least on the surface, it was not bad, he was indeed satisfied. And at this time, he said in his heart, I hope you can do what you say, so the best, otherwise, hehe, don't blame my prince for being ruthless!

Don't look at Wang Ping, you usually think that he may have a good temper, but in fact, this is definitely not the case. He is definitely a ruthless character, but basically he doesn't show anything. Because there is no opportunity for him to perform, and there is no situation where he needs to behave like this, basically no one has seen how ruthless he is. But just because you haven't seen something doesn't mean it doesn't have it, so ......

If you don't provoke Wang Ping, then everything is easy to say, but if you really want to force him to work, then the consequences are really unimaginable-

After that, everyone said a lot about the movements of Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, as well as some other questions. The other main thing is that Fang Ling Ling introduced the current situation of Fang Ling, for example, how many people and horses there are in Fang Ling now, in fact, there are nearly 10,000 soldiers, of which 5,000 are soldiers of the Liangzhou army, and the other is less than 5,000 people, of course, it is the county soldiers.

It stands to reason that Fangling does not have so many soldiers, and it is not because Cao Cao's army is in Xiangyang, so Zhang both specially sent 3,000 Liangzhou soldiers to come here, so there are more people and horses guarding the imperial city in Fangling. But to be honest, Wang Ping still didn't think there were many of these people, after all, if it was really about the number of people, then he would definitely not have as many Yanzhou soldiers as Cao Mengde. Of course, in the case of siege warfare, the number of people on the defending side does not actually determine anything, so ......

And then in terms of city defense, the reserves are also sufficient, after all, there has been no war in Hanzhong for many years before, so it can be said that there are a lot of things such as rolling wood and stones. To say that it was really useless before, but now I don't have to think about it, and it finally comes in handy.

As for the most serious problem of grain and grass, not to mention, the grain and grass in Fangling are still enough, at least enough for nearly 10,000 soldiers and war horses in the city to eat for two months. Maybe you think two months is not much, but Wang Ping firmly believes that Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, he will never let the war go on for two months. So I basically can't hold it for two months, and I guess I have to let someone break through the city.

It's not that Wang Ping has no confidence, or you say that he lacks confidence, but that's the case, after all, it's not an ordinary team, but the world-famous Yanzhou Army, so if you think so, you can't blame Wang Ping. Don't look at Wang Ping's ability, it's true, but he is still a fledgling newcomer, so it's normal to be like this-

After Wang Ping listened to the introduction of a few people, he asked some of the things he said he cared about, and then under the leadership of everyone, he went to the head of Fangling City and inspected it well.

After that, Wang Ping rested for a day, and then Cao Cao's Yanzhou army came to the outside of Fangling City. The army was stationed, and Cao Cao still let the soldiers rest before going to attack the city.

In Cao Cao's big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao asked everyone at this time, "I don't know what you know about Wang Ping, the defender of Fangling City?" ”

Cheng Yu was the first to speak out about this matter, so I heard him say at this time, "Lord, everyone, that Wang Ping is from Yizhou, and it has been some time since he joined the Liangzhou Army. He has been in Hanzhong for a long time, and is called a 'living map' by some people, which shows his understanding of the land of Hanzhong. And since Hanzhong Taishou Zhang and Zhang Derong can let his people come to guard Fangling, then he must trust his people very much, and his skills will not be bad, so he ......"——

After listening to Cheng Yu's introduction, everyone has a certain understanding of Wang Ping's person, since he can be called a "living map", then presumably his understanding of the topography of Hanzhong is absolutely unparalleled, otherwise there would not be such a nickname. And according to what his husband said, since Hanzhong is too shou Zhang and Zhang Derong, since he can let his people come here, it must show that his ability is by no means general.

As for saying that I've never heard of it, this is normal, after all, not everyone, powerful characters have heard of it, so it's really normal to have those people who aren't very conspicuous.

When Cao Cao heard this, he said to everyone: "Everyone, although this Wang Ping is a prince, our army has never heard of his reputation, but after listening to Zhongde's words, I have to say that his person must have a certain ability, or he will not be valued by Zhang Derong."

After listening to their lord's words, everyone couldn't help nodding their heads, but to be honest, they all understood what their lord meant, that is, they should not underestimate the enemy, but also treat it cautiously and seriously, even if they have confidence, they will solve the battle as soon as possible and occupy Fangling in the east of Hanzhong as soon as possible-

Xun You said at this time, "Yes, what the lord said is good, our army is naturally not to be underestimated!" ”

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and then the others also said one by one that they would not underestimate the enemy, and they would go all out to attack Fangling at that time.

Cao Cao's attitude towards everyone was indeed satisfied. After all, what should be said and what should be done has already been said and done, so let's watch how you take Fang Ling down after the most ...

It's a change today, and try to make up for it tomorrow~ (to be continued......)
