"What?" After hearing this, Shen Tan and the other three people looked at each other, glanced at each other, and found that there was an unbelievable look in each other's eyes.

That Liu Shan not only came according to the preface, but also really came with troops, and moreover, there were 7,000 soldiers all of a sudden, how did he bring so many soldiers from Liangzhou here?

They all know very well that so many soldiers and horses want to come here from Liangzhou, at least through the area controlled by the two forces of Ma Tengjun and Zhang Xiujun, to say that the relationship between Jin Jue and Ma Teng is not bad, Ma Teng allowed Jin Jue to lead the army through Sanfu, they still believe, but what if so many people and horses pass under Zhang Xiu's nose?

However, now was not the time to think about this, Lou Fa hurriedly asked, "Apart from Envoy Liu, are there any other important people who have come with him?" ”

"Hmmm! That's all the news from Yunguan, by the way, the messenger also said, what did the envoy say, and Gongzi also came with him. ”

"Ahh After hearing this, the three of them immediately couldn't sit still.

The so-called son, these people don't know, but the three of them know that there is only one person who has mentioned the son mentioned in Liu Shan's mouth - their nominal lord Jin Jue.

Unexpectedly, that little cripple really ran here in person this time.

So, Shen Tan and the other three didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly took someone to greet Jin Jue in person.

Outside Xixian County, the three of them ran into an army led by Jin Jue.

"Qiyu Gongzi, this one is Shen Mi, the magistrate of Shangyong County, this one is Lou Fa, the magistrate of Xi County, and this is Shen Tan, the current magistrate of Xicheng County." As soon as he saw that the three of them actually appeared in Xixian County at the same time, Liu Shan hurriedly stood up and introduced Jin Jue one by one: "Three, this is your lord-son Jin Jue." ”

"Meet Childe!" Shen Tan took the first step, came to Jin Jue's face, knelt on one knee, and shouted loudly.

When Shen Mi and Lou Fa saw it, they had to learn from Shen Tan's appearance, followed closely behind Shen Tan, and saluted Jin Jue.

"Hahaha, three of you, please get up." Jin Jue laughed and let the three of them say.

It can be seen that Shen Mi and Lou Fa did not do this from the bottom of their hearts and willingly, but just passively followed Shen Tan's example.

When the three of them stood up, Jin Jue then said with a smile: "Three, there is no need to be like this, Liu Shan's words are too early." If I, the half-eldest son, can't take Hanzhong County this year according to the preface, you can take charge of the eastern part of Hanzhong County alone, and each of you will find a clear lord to take refuge. ”

"Childe, you can lead the troops to this place according to the preface, you have already shown your ability, I will be loyal to you in the future, this point, I Shen Mi will not break my word. However, please forgive my subordinates, you have a lot of men and horses, but even if you add all the troops that the three of us have now, I'm afraid it won't be enough to defeat Zhang Lu! Yiji, as far as you know, how many soldiers and horses does Zhang Lu have in his hands? Shen Mi said very straightforwardly.

Obviously, now he has willingly surrendered to Jin Jue, but he does not think that with the current strength of Jin Jue, he can defeat Zhang Lu, who has been entrenched in Hanzhong County for a long time.

"There are about 100,000 households in the four western counties of Hanzhong, if Gongzi attacks Hanzhong and can't fight quickly, once Zhang Lu has enough time to prepare, he will be able to recruit 100,000 soldiers." Shen Tan replied without thinking.

"Hahaha, this matter is not in a hurry, this son has his own good strategy to break the enemy, and the three of them don't have to worry about this. Three, let's go to Shangyong County now! When Jin Jue heard this, he snorted and didn't explain too much.

There are 100,000 households in the four western counties of Hanzhong County, and it seems that the historical record is not wrong. Moreover, if someone attacked Hanzhong County, the total number of soldiers that Zhang Lu could collect might be more than what Shen Tan said. Because, the biggest difference between Zhang Lu and other princes in the world is that he founded the country with religion. There is no shortage of Heavenly Master Dao believers in Hanzhong County who are loyal to him.

Since Jin Jue said so, Shen Tan and the other three could only temporarily press their minds and follow Jin Jue to lead the army to set off for Shangyong.

It is said that at this time, Jin Jue should go to Xicheng County, after all, it is closer to the four western counties of Hanzhong County. However, it is still early to attack Hanzhong County, and Jin Jue will have to wait until Fu Gan and Li Feng send troops to Yangping Pass, and the main force of the Hanzhong County army will be attracted to Yangping Pass, which is the best time for Jin Jue's army to march.

Xicheng County is too close to the four counties of Hanzhong County, and it is a newly annexed place, and once the news leaks, it will destroy the plan made by Jin Jue. On the contrary, Shangyong County has always been occupied by Shen Tanshuo before, even if he was driven to Xicheng County, his family is still in Shangyong, and he still maintains considerable control over here.

Shen Tan's younger brother Shen Yi has not shown up, Jin Jue guessed that this is the Shen family's reserved backhand, once the situation is unfavorable to Jin Jue's army, Shen Mi may not continue to stay in Shangyong County safely.

After the army entered Shangyong County, Jin Jue did not dictate the government and military affairs here as he did in Luoyang County. The soldiers of Luoyang County were temporarily handed over to Fu Tong for management and training, while the soldiers recruited by Shen Tan and the other three in the four counties of the eastern Han Dynasty were temporarily handed over to Wei Yan for training, and the 2,000 soldiers who were responsible for guarding Wuguan were temporarily handed over to Cheng Lian for training.

As for Shen Mi and Lou Fa's original subordinates, Jin Jue did not move. Jin Jue ordered this, Shen Tan naturally didn't dare to say much, and Shen Mi and Lou Fa saw that Jin Jue did not deprive their old subordinates, and they also did not object.

So, Jin Juejun settled in Shangyong County in such a peaceful manner.

Shen Tan and the other three didn't know what Jin Jue's specific plan was.

……

Let's talk about the Xuzhou battlefield.

The battle between Cao Cao's army and Liu Bei's army was just as Jin Jue had predicted, since Liu Bei's army implemented the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness in Pengchengguo, which undermined Cao's army's intentions and plans, Cao's army could only be forced to launch an attack on Xuzhou immediately in April. After that, the two armies were in a state of scorching in all three theaters.

On the one hand, Yu Ban and Xiahou Yuan were in Donghai County, and they were blocked from the boundaries of Donghai County by a fledgling nameless Chen Dao, which surprised the surrounding forces.

Chen Zhi himself is young and not famous, and the troops in his hands are even less than Cao Jun, but even so, Chen Zhi still relied on his geographical advantage to block the attack of the second general.

Of course, the so-called geographical advantages of Donghai County are incomparable with Zhang Lu's Hanzhong County.

Guan Yu was in the county seat of Pengcheng County, and was entangled to death by Xiahoudun with the same force, which made Guan Yu, who had always regarded himself very highly, depressed.
