The defenders of Hanzhong City were vulnerable, and the Yizhou army launched an attack less than an hour, the city shouted surrender, and the city gate was opened without mentioning any conditions.

Hanzhong is almost an empty city, the people are lost, the soldiers are only 2,000, most of them are requisitioned from Qinzhou, they have no intention of fighting, the grain and grass accumulated in the city have long been transported away, and the rest has also been lit by He Rongren.

In any case, the city walls were still strong, the streets were still smooth, and most of the houses were intact, this victory was worth celebrating, and the iron eagle held a celebration banquet and ordered to rest for three days and prepare to attack Qinzhou.

Everyone liked the celebration banquet, but the decision to attack Qin surprised many people.

When the generals toasted, they took the opportunity to remind General Tie Er that the general only wanted to capture Hanzhou, and there was no plan to attack Qin, and the grain and grass were not yet ready, and the winter cold had not yet dissipated, so it was not suitable to go on another expedition.

The iron eagle refused to change his mind, but also made a little compromise: "Shouyi first defends Han, defends Han first defends Qin, I don't want to capture the entire territory of Qinzhou, but I just want to occupy the entire plank road, making it difficult for the enemy army to advance an inch." ”

Another humanitarian: "The war on Feng Changshi's side has not ended, and many counties in Hanzhou have not yet been pacified......"

Tie Fei was stubborn, "You have also seen that He Rongren has no intention of sticking to Hanzhou, and there are not many cavalry left, Feng Changshi will soon be able to win a big victory, as for the counties, sending a partial general to command 5,000 troops is enough to pacify." The so-called soldiers are fast, once Hanzhou is lost, Qinzhou will inevitably be on guard, and if it is a day late, the war will be more difficult. ”

Not all the generals opposed General Tie Er's plan, and the forward general Tang Weitian was extremely supportive, "Since entering Hanzhou, the battle has been too easy, but it's not enjoyable, I have to go to Qinzhou to compete with He Rongren, avenge the siege of the city last time, and by the way, I can go back to my hometown to see." ”

No one reminded Tang Weitian that the other end of the plank road was still far from his hometown.

The iron eagle is stubborn, and he is the younger brother of the general, no one can say that he can't be moved, the generals only divide their heads to prepare, first send scouts to the front to explore the way, urge the rear to transport grain and grass as soon as possible, and at the same time send people to send a message to Jindu City.

The whole army rested for three days, Tang Weitian only rested for two days before leading the troops to set off, and when he was leaving, he came to say goodbye to Xu Ji, "I'll go and open the way, so that Gongzi can directly see the Golden Holy Maiden." ”

Tang Weitian never figured out the plan of the Yizhou army, and still thought that he wanted to capture the entire Qinzhou.

Xu Ji didn't explain, and said with a smile: "Don't rush in, at least let me catch up with you." ”

"Don't worry, General Tie Er gave a strict order, ordering me to stop as soon as I get out of the plank road, the most important task is to ensure that the plank road is unblocked, and everything will be said when he arrives."

"Well, you should keep this order in mind."

Tang Weitian said goodbye and wanted to leave, but suddenly stopped, "Everyone said that General Tie Er was aggressive, what does Gongzi think?" ”

"Conquest is not my forte, I dare not talk nonsense."

"Hehe, how arrogant Gongzi was when he guarded the Eastern Capital, how can you say 'not your strength' now?"

"I guess it's because I'm getting less and less courageous."

Tang Weitian shook his head, expressed disbelief, and left.

Xu Ji actually didn't support the Northern Expedition to Qinzhou, but he didn't know that Tie Fei trusted him, so he didn't want to ask for it, and after experiencing the failure of Jindu City's strategy, he did become more cautious, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was "timid", he always felt that everything could not be as he expected, even if there were thousands of calculations, it was inevitable to make mistakes.

He prefers to keep an eye on the "general trend", but unfortunately since he said goodbye to Wang Dian, he can't find anyone to talk about.

Tie Fei did not wait for the news of Jindu City, and sent troops on time after three days, leaving 5,000 people to defend the city, dividing 5,000 people to pacify the county, and the remaining 30,000 people all went north to Qinzhou.

The plank road was narrow and damaged, and it was not reliable after repeated repairs, so the army advanced in the shape of a long snake, reinforcing as it went.

The iron eagle was originally in the center, but he thought that the march ahead was too slow, so he chased all the way, and personally urged the soldiers to repair the road.

After another three days, news came from the front, the forward encountered the enemy soldiers, and soon the news came that the enemy soldiers had retreated, and the forward continued to advance, and soon could enter the boundary of Qinzhou.

The rest of the road was easier to walk, and the iron eagle did not have to supervise it personally, and when he set up camp and rested that night, he sent someone to call Xu Ji and invite him to drink.

"The further north you go, the colder it gets, Mr. Xu should warm up with a glass of wine."

"Only one drink." Xu Ji took a sip of the hot wine, and he did feel a lot warmer.

Tie Fei said some gossip, and then said: "Everyone thinks that it is not appropriate to go north to Qinzhou, what about Mr. Xu?" ”

Xu Ji said with a smile: "When the general goes out on the expedition, he should be arbitrary and self-determined, especially if he has already sent troops, it is useless to talk too much, and it will increase doubts." ”

"But before I sent the army, Mr. Xu didn't say anything."

"I'm not a minister of Yizhou, and General Tie Er may not believe me."

"Haha, to tell you the truth, I really don't believe it, although Mr. Xu has a lot of schemes, in the end, he is all for the sake of others, and it has nothing to do with my Yizhou."

Xu Ji smiled, too lazy to argue, and only cared about drinking in small sips.

"But I still want to hear what Mr. Xu has to say, without it, just for comparison."

"Since General Tie Er insisted—I also feel that it is too early to attack Qinzhou in the north, if it is only to seize the plank road, it is enough to send a forward army, and there is no need for a large army to follow up. General Tie Er personally supervised the battle, and there must be a more long-term plan. ”

"Hey, Mr. Xu guessed right. That's right, capturing the plank road is only the first step, the Yizhou army did not dare to enter Qinzhou, it was nothing more than afraid of He Rong's cavalry, and when I won a few games in a row, everyone was naturally afraid. I don't dare to say that I want to seize the entire territory of Qinzhou, at least occupy Xijing! ”

"Xijing suffered the most war, like chicken ribs, why did General Tie Er ......"

Tie Fei raised his eyebrows, "Just to prove that my Tie family is not inferior to King Ning, he can defeat He Rongren, and so can the Tie family." Tie Fei softened his tone slightly, "The general didn't dare to avenge the King of Shu, it was just that he felt that Yizhou was weak and King Ning was strong, and once the troops went out of the gorge, they would be counterattacked." After I also defeat He Rongren and capture Xijing, who will think that the Yizhou army is weak? ”

Xu Ji was silent, because he knew that he had been called to listen to these words, not for nothing.

Tie Fei picked up the cup and drank it all, motioned for Xu Ji to take a sip as well, and then said with a smile: "Once the general feels that Yizhou has the strength to take revenge, Mr. Xu will also have to be punished for his crimes." Mr. Xu lobbied all the way and persuaded the heroes to fight against He Rongren, never thought that his life was closely related to He Rongren, right? ”

Xu Ji drank the last bit of leftover wine in the cup, put down the cup and said, "If the second general of Tie can defeat He Rongren and recapture Qinzhou, I am willing to commit suicide to apologize." ”

Iron Owl's face was slightly gloomy, "Do you think I will definitely lose?" ”

Xu Ji shook his head and said, "I'm telling the truth." If you can seize Qin in one fell swoop, not only to expel He Rongren, but also to calm the world, I am willing to be enough, and I will not hesitate to take this life. ”

The iron eagle looked at Xu Ji, seemed to believe it or not, and said after a while: "You still haven't said whether the plan to attack Qin is good or bad." ”

Xu Ji sighed lightly, "What can I tell from the bad?" It can only be said that General Tie Er is a little aggressive, if there is a change in the rear, he will not be able to advance or retreat, and if Hanzhou is stable, it can be called a miracle soldier. I have no way of predicting the situation in Hanzhou, and naturally I have no way of judging whether General Tie Er's attack on Qin is good or bad. ”

"He Rongren is obviously going to give up Hanzhou, what else is there to worry about? When I gain a foothold in Qinzhou, I will recruit Feng Yechou as well. ”

Iron Eagle thought for a while, and Xu Ji got up to say goodbye.

Tie Fei said: "No matter what, Mr. Xu has great favors to me and the Tie family, Tie Er's grievances are clear, the revenge of killing the lord will be avenged, and the grace of dripping water will not be forgotten, so please rest assured Mr. Xu, I will not kill you for no reason." ”

Xu Ji arched his hand and said, "Thank you." ”

At the end of the plank road, there was a small city in the boundary of Qinzhou, but now it has been destroyed to the point that only the broken walls remain, and when the defenders fled in a hurry, they set fire to the whole city and burned the whole city into ruins.

Tang Weitian chased after him for a while, and finally remembered the strict order of General Tie Er, did not go deep into the enemy's territory, led his troops back, and camped on the spot, with the tree fence as the wall.

After the iron eagle arrived, he did not say that he would attack Xijing, but ordered the soldiers to rebuild the city wall, and sent scouts from afar to find out the movements of He Rongren.

His plan was to stabilize the morale of the army first, choose an opportunity to fight with He Rongren, boost morale with victory, and then advance step by step until Xijing.

A few days later, the scouts brought back news from all directions, and also brought some Qinzhou people as proof: He Rong people didn't seem to even want Qinzhou anymore, and spent the whole winter looting property, recruiting people to live in the north, and the people of Qinzhou suffered greatly.

When the news first came, the iron eagle still didn't believe it, and when the news became more and more detailed, he no longer had any doubts, laughed a few times, and even said, "God help me", and immediately assigned 10,000 men to go with him tomorrow - he had to hurry, otherwise He Rongren would all flee back to Saiwai, and the great victory he dreamed of would be lost.

Since the beginning of the battle, the battle has gone unusually well, and the generals' fears have gradually disappeared, and only a few people have been left to persuade the second general to be cautious.

It was still Tang Weitian who was the forward, and Tie Ying led the Chinese army to take Xu Ji with him, and now he had entered the border of Qinzhou, and he was worried that Xu Ji would escape.

Tang Weitian was like a bamboo, and on the first day, he captured two cities in a row, and each time the soldiers and horses had just arrived in the city, and the soldiers defending the city opened the door and surrendered.

There are two things that make Tie Fei worried, one is that there are no He Rong people in the city, and the Yizhou army is probably still one step late, and the other is that there is no grain and grass everywhere, all of them were looted or set on fire by He Rong people, and after the first two groups of defenders surrendered, the first thing was to kneel and beg for a little food, they had been hungry for two or three days.

Five days after the dispatch of troops, the iron eagle had to stop, waiting for the grain and grass in the rear to follow, and the good news was that a group of He Rong cavalry finally appeared in front, and the two sides could fight.

Iron Eagle proved that he was not a simple reckless person, as early as when he was in Yizhou, he inquired everywhere about the defeat of He Rongren by the Ning army, no matter how big or small, he had to ask clearly, so he was prepared for this battle, personally visited the terrain, and then sent troops to challenge, led He Rongren into a dangerous place, and sent ambushes to defeat it in one fell swoop.

This He Rong people do not have many troops, only more than 3,000 people, and the iron eagles win more than few, but they still greatly boost morale, at least the Yizhou soldiers no longer believe in the rumors that He Rong people are one against ten.

The iron eagle was overjoyed, and ordered to go straight to Xijing early the next morning, and at the same time ordered the 20,000 people in the rear to follow.

But in the evening, bad news came and the day's victory was suddenly ruined.

Feng Yechou, who remained in Hanzhou, was defeated by an army from the Central Plains and was defeated.
