One is in Zang Ba and Zhou Cang, Yang Ren all the way to the expedition, the army at the same time as the Wuguan, Zhang He also led the army along the Han River to reach Chenggu City, although there are people and horses in Hanzhong all the way to block, but they are not into the climate, just the army was defeated, Zhang He's troops not only did not damage, but because of the surrender along the way and the young and strong people who did not accept Zhang Lu's rule, the strength of the army increased from 20,000 to 28,000, directly increased by 5,000 men and horses. Originally, Chenggu went deep into the hinterland of Hanzhong, far away from the front line, and there was no need to worry about the soldiers coming to the city, but because of Zhang Wei's stupidity, the border wall of Hanzhong was handed over, Zhang Lu was furious, and wanted to push Zhang Wei out and behead, but after all, he was his own brother, and he had his own sister Zhang Yulan, and another younger brother Zhang Zhen and other nephews pleaded hard to finally dismiss him from his post, beat fifty military sticks, and finally gave up.

It's just that in just two months, Zhang He led an army of more than 20,000 people all the way to the ground, and everyone in Hanzhong panicked. Although few people know what Zhang Wei did before, it still gradually spread, from high-ranking civil and military officials to ordinary people, all of them are angry, and there is a tendency to kill them indiscriminately. Zhang Wei was afraid and did not dare to leave the mansion, but even so, he was also assassinated by assassins who sneaked into the mansion several times, but he escaped with a big life.

When the Jingzhou army came east, the people were the most panicked, fearing that they would be injured by mistake in the war, so they took refuge outside Hanzhong, and there were countless people who secretly moved their families to Xichuan, Guanzhong, or Jingzhou. Although Zhang Lu ordered to stop them with great efforts, the effect was not good, but the people thought that Zhang Lu wanted to pull them as meat shields, and more people fled. In the end, Zhang Lu was the killer, caught the fleeing and immediately beheaded him, and then brought the situation under control.

Yan Pu was originally Chenggu County, after Zhang Wei fled back, he immediately began to deploy defenses in Chenggu, set up three lines of defense, and constantly built new fortifications, and finally took shape in two months. But Zhang He is a famous general in the world, Yan Pu has no military position, no one obeys his orders at all, and he can give advice, if he wants to lead the troops to fight, he can only sigh with joy.

He also had self-knowledge, and once again admonished Zhang Lu: "Chenggu must have a fierce general to lead the defense, otherwise it will not be able to stop the Jingzhou army at all!" ”

Zhang Lu has ruled Hanzhong for many years, how can he not know, but there is really no suitable candidate, he is also weak and upset.

"Sir, do you have a candidate?" Zhang Lu asked.

Yan Pu smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I can only invite the young general out again!" ”

Zhang Lu's face changed for a while, and finally raised his head and sighed: "I, Zhang Lu, am incompetent, the enemy soldiers are coming to the city, and there are no available generals in Hanzhong." ”

"I'll go and invite the second brother in person!" Zhang Lu said, his voice was full of endless sadness and helplessness. The back of turning away also seemed a little weak.

"It seems that Hanzhong is difficult to protect!" Yan Pu muttered, "You can only take one step at a time!" ”

"Big ...... Big brother, why are you here? Seeing Zhang Lu come in, Zhang Wei was first surprised, and then said lazily, very casually.

Seeing Zhang Wei like this, Zhang Lu was also a little angry, but at the moment, he had a request for the second brother, so he could only endure it: "I haven't seen you for a few days, come and see you!" ”

"Huh, huh?" Zhang Wei didn't get up and continued to pour himself a drink.

"Of course. Big brother can't come to see you? Zhang Lu was very annoyed by Zhang Wei's snubbing, but he couldn't attack.

Zhang Wei had another drink: "Since the eldest brother is fine, how about a few drinks with the younger brother?" Although Jingzhou is our enemy, the wine it makes is really good, and it can be called a treasure in the world! ”

Zhang Lu had no choice but to continue to accompany him, but he was on pins and needles. Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Big brother, let's say, what's the matter with me?" ”

Zhang Lu knew that he had been seen through by the second brother, so he simply said: "The Jingzhou army has come to Chenggu City, do you know?" ”

"Yes!"

"And you still have the leisure to drink? If Chenggu City is broken, the Jingzhou army will attack Nanzheng, and you will be indifferent? Zhang Lu was so angry that he couldn't wait to teach this stupid brother a hard lesson.

Zhang Wei laughed: "Big brother, let's not go around in circles." Don't you want me to lead the army to defend the city? I can promise, but you have to promise everything, I have the final say, and I will not interfere! ”

Zhang Lu was shocked, he didn't know his younger brother, and at this time, he was still thinking about seeking power.

In fact, for his younger brother, Zhang Lu had long known his thoughts, but he didn't expect that he couldn't help but have a showdown with him now.

"If you don't agree, then ask the eldest brother to ask for another master! Besides, I was seriously wounded, and I was beaten with fifty sticks by you, and I still haven't healed, and I need to recuperate. Zhang Wei said categorically, without the slightest relent.

Zhang Lu has an impulse to kill, although his younger brother has some ability, but he is arrogant and arrogant, arrogant, resulting in the loss of 30,000 horses in Hanzhong, although he dismissed his officials, it was also to let him avoid the limelight and give an explanation to the people and the civil and military. Even those fifty military sticks were also beaten by the people he had confessed, and they were very measured, otherwise, he would not want to stand up again in his life.

But what made him angry was that this fool still did not repent and threatened him at this critical juncture.

Zhang Lu was furious, forcibly pressed down, and said coldly: "Okay, I agreed to be my brother!" If you can get the Jingzhou army to retreat, I will fulfill my promise today! ”

Zhang Wei suddenly came to his senses, and immediately jumped up, full of joy, as if nothing had happened just now: "It's better to be a big brother, I know that big brother is the best for me!" Come on, come on, our brother has a drink. ”

Zhang Lu almost vomited blood, shook his wide sleeves in disgust, and refused directly: "No need, drink less tonight, and go to work early tomorrow morning." If you can't stop Zhang He, then you ...... You don't have to come back! ”

Zhang Lu was completely disappointed in this younger brother, and he was very sad.

Under Chenggu City, Zhang He embraced his troops and launched a joint attack on the east, south and north gates.

There were 10,000 men and horses in the city to defend the city, and under the command of Yan Pu, they immediately launched an offensive and attacked the attacking Jingzhou army.

Three thousand archers were scattered on four walls, with an average of less than eight hundred on one wall.

A rain of arrows poured down from the city, and the attacking Jingzhou sergeant immediately raised his shield to block it.

"Bang! Boom! Bang ......" The bow and arrow shot at the shield like a drum.

"Kill!" The sound of killing under the city was deafening one after another. Although some of the sergeants were killed or wounded by their bows and arrows without paying attention, none of the others retreated, but even more desperately.

"Big Tiger! Kill me! Zhang He looked at the offensive at the head of the city and whispered to a man beside him.

The big man's name is Chen Hu, he was originally Zhang He's servant, the eldest in the family, Zhang He liked it very much, so he called him Dahu. Chen Hu is also grateful to Zhang He and loyal.

Chen Hu agreed, immediately lifted two fifty-pound sledgehammers, and rushed to the city gate on foot.
