Shaanzhou city was built in the four years of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, has a history of nearly 1,000 years from now, is an ancient city, surrounded by water on three sides, surrounded by mountains on all sides, pillow in the middle of the strip, facing the tomb of Kunling, is an important town in western Henan.

The famous allusions in history, such as the Xia Shang Campaign, the Zhou Zhao Division, the Fake Yu Annihilation, and the Battle of Qin and Jin, are all witnessed here. In the future, the military affairs of the past dynasties were frequent, the city was destroyed many times, and it was rebuilt many times, and it has always been the seat of the state and county governance.

Because it is located in the throat area of the Central Plains, Shaanzhou has always been valued by the rulers of successive dynasties, and it is a place where soldiers must fight, and the rulers have sent many capable people to govern.

And the original garrison in Shaanzhou was Qin Zongquan's cadre, that is, Sun Ru, who was cut off by Ma Jianying outside Luoyang City.

If Sun Ru is still guarding Shaanzhou City, then Zhao Fan will not dare to have any idea about Shaanzhou City, after all, Sun Ru has many generals, and he is also quite military-minded, and with Zhao Fan's strength, wanting to take Shaanzhou City is tantamount to a fool's dream.

It was also because Sun Ru took away most of the men and horses in order to support the Huainan battlefield, and he died in Luoyang City, which gave Zhao Fan the idea of taking Shaanzhou City.

But now the defense of Shaanzhou City has been strengthened, and according to the information obtained by Zhao Fan, after a comprehensive analysis, it is concluded that the person in charge of Shaanzhou City is likely to be Zhang Ji who escaped from Luoyang City, so Zhao Fan's original plan will naturally be in vain.

According to the original plan, it was to let Ma Jianying go to deceive the city gate, and then cooperate with the inside and outside to take Shaanzhou City, but now it is Zhang Ji who is stationed in the city, and then let Ma Jianying go to deceive the city, it will be no different from sending him to death.

This Zhang Ji is quite talented in military affairs, and has a very good relationship with Ma Yin, and assisted Ma Yin in establishing Southern Chu in history.

And Zhao Fan first killed Ma Yin in Luoyang City, and then killed Sun Ru in the Battle of the Canyon, and Zhang Ji has long been incompatible, so the possibility of subduing him is negligible.

After a hurry, he finally arrived at the outskirts of Shaanzhou, but now he could only look at the city head of Shaanzhou and sigh, Zhao Fan's heart was depressed.

The current situation is very embarrassing, the enemy not only occupies the advantage of defending the city, but also has twice the strength of the Shouwang army, how to fight this battle, Zhao Fan has completely lost the bottom in his heart...

……

In Shaanzhou City, Zhang Ji was sitting by the stove and roasting the fire, and next to him were Wu Min and Xu Dexun, the fierce generals of Sun Rujun.

Wu Min doesn't say it, he is an unknown young general, but this Xu Dexun is a ruthless character who can write and martial arts, he was a county official when he was young, and he has a very good relationship with Ma Yin, and he is a fellow villager, so when he heard Zhang Ji say that Ma Yin ordered Luoyang City, he immediately led all the people and wanted to capture Luoyang City to avenge Ma Yin.

However, his more than 20,000 horses did not occupy much advantage in attacking the fledgling Luoyang City, so under Zhang Ji's persuasion, he decided to lead the army to Shaanzhou City.

If Zhao Fan comes to steal the city, he will give him a back and forth, if he doesn't come, it doesn't matter, in the spring of the next year, he will attack from Shaanzhou City, and Liu Jianfeng will attack left and right, take Luoyang City, and avenge Ma Yin!

"Lord Zhang, do you say that this Shouwang will come to attack our Shaanzhou City?" Wu Min poured tea for the two of them and asked with some suspicion.

Zhang Ji smiled and did not speak.

"General Wu rest assured, if this Shouwang has a plan, he will definitely come to attack Shaanzhou City." Xu Dexun took a sip of the teacup and smiled softly.

"But if King Shou knows that the two adults are here, I'm afraid he may not have the courage to attack Shaanzhou City, right?" Wu Min asked a little puzzled.

"General Wu doesn't have to worry, when we set off, we didn't tell anyone, and we didn't tell the soldiers where the destination was, and the places we passed by were all cleaned up, and there was no living mouth left, King Shou would never have thought that we were in Shaanzhou City now, waiting for him to come from the net." Zhang Ji glanced at Wu Min and said with some smugness.

"Master Zhang's tricks, high! It's really high! Wu Min was stunned and said with a flattering smile, "In this way, King Shou will be unable to escape!" ”

"When they come to the city, we will defend the city for a while, and then go out of the city to defeat them completely! Take off the head of the thief Shouwang and hang it on the city wall to lay the spirit of Batu and Sun Shuai in the sky. Xu Dexun slapped the table and said viciously.

"Yes, there is also Ma Jianying, a dog thief, who betrays him for glory and catches it back together to sacrifice to the sky!" Wu Min nodded and followed.

"Now, just wait for King Shou to come to the net." Zhang Ji looked in the direction of Luoyang and clenched his fists fiercely.

……

"Lord Wang, how are we going to fight this battle?" In the camp of King Shou's army, Ma Jianying looked at the outline of Shaanzhou City in the distance and asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Fan couldn't help but have a big head when he heard this, he was in Shaanzhou into this thorny turtle shell, under absolute strength, any plan was ineffective, if they were discovered by the defenders in the city, maybe they would come out and exterminate them, then the fun would be great.

The battle of the canyon outside Luoyang City was formed by bringing together the right people at the right time, place, and people, and it has no reference significance and cannot be replicated.

But now it is impossible to withdraw, not to mention anything else, Shou Wang Jun as a new army, the first time to pull out of the battle without a problem, this is not a shame problem, even everyone's confidence will be lost, Shou Wang Jun will become a soulless shell.

Moreover, this trip was in a hurry, and there was no time to make too many preparations, and the materials they carried could not support them to return to Luoyang City, after all, Zhao Fan was not Qin Zongquan, and he decided not to allow the people to be used as military rations.

Moreover, if Shaanzhou City cannot be taken, then Luoyang City will lose its meaning, a lonely city sandwiched between the enemy, without any strategic depth, without sufficient space for movement, it has no value.

So now Zhao Fan can only choose to move forward and take Shaanzhou City, so that the army can complete the rebirth in the test of blood and fire, and at the same time, get enough materials and strategic space for survival.

"I haven't thought about it yet, so let's arrange for the troops to camp on the spot and rest, and everyone will stay on standby and fight at any time." Zhao Fan shook his head and pretended to be relaxed, "Let everyone pay attention to concealment and don't expose our location." ”

"Yes!" Ma Jianying replied loudly, glanced at Zhao Fan with some concern, and then saluted and withdrew from the camp.

Zhao Fan looked at the back of Ma Jianying leaving, shook his head, and smiled bitterly, this is really a dilemma, he can't fight and can't go.
