"Liu Zhang is going to send troops? Liu Zhang is going to fight the Huns? Zhong Xuan looked at the newspaper and couldn't believe what he saw. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes, Ang couldn't believe it at first. However, according to the news we sent back in Hanzhong, Liu Zhang had indeed begun to send troops. Moreover, it is a two-way march, focusing on the direction of Chencang, and it is said that the first stop is Tianshui. The other way is to march out of the valley. According to the agreement we reached with Liu Zhang, it is said that his soldiers will not be able to step into Sanfu. ”

When the soldiers came out of the valley, they entered the right wind of Sanfu.

"Liu Zhang's bastard, he must have released the news first, telling everyone that he was going to fight the Huns, so that we would not be able to attack him, otherwise we would become accomplices of the Huns. He is preempting the righteousness. I think he's going to come over right away, not only to borrow the word, but also to ask for our cooperation. ”

The result was not as Zhong Xuan expected.

Soon an official letter from Hanzhong came, informing that the new army would take advantage of Sanfu to go north to stabilize and fight against the Xiongnu, and asked Chang'an to fully cooperate and provide necessary food supplies.

"Look at how well Liu Zhang's calculations are. Not only did we not make it easy for us to hack him, but also let us provide him with food and grass logistics, this kid is really thick-skinned enough, and the scoundrel has arrived home. Zhong Xuan looked at Liu Zhang's official document and was furious, although he had long expected Liu Zhang to do this.

"Mr. Yuan Chang, that's right, this is the Liu Zhang we know. Giving some grain and grass is a trivial matter, as long as he dares to really come out, even if he can really repel the Huns, but it will be difficult for him to retreat back to Hanzhong. Not only did we not agree, but I think Ma Teng and Han Sui and they would not let go of this good opportunity. ”

"Well, Ziyu is right. Therefore, we must fully encourage Liu Zhang to send troops to the north, and the more he goes, the farther he goes, the better. Lest this kid hide in Hanzhong all day long, we can't do anything about him. Isn't Liu Zhang claimed to specialize in riding with steps? Didn't he just ambush and hit Ma Teng Han Sui hard last time? This time, let's see how he dealt with the Hun cavalry, and whether there is any life left for us. ”

"Liu Zhang's new army only relied on the sharpness of the bow and crossbow, and it was still able to deal with cavalry in the mountains, but on the plains, it was impossible to deal with the powerful Hun cavalry. However, Liu Zhang's thief has always been cunning, and there may be other ways. The two armies are fighting, no matter what, I am not optimistic about him, if he is really capable of defeating 100,000 Hun cavalry, then he would have been out of Hanzhong a long time ago, there is no need to retreat in Hanzhong. ”

"Liu Zhang's new army has never fought in the plains, and it has never been dispatched on such a large scale. Then let's wait and see how he gets on the go. ”

"Do we want to talk to Ma Teng Han Sui?"

"No, there will definitely be a tacit understanding between them and us. They also want Liu Zhang to come out. It will definitely not scare Liu Zhang back immediately. Besides, Liu Zhang is now holding righteousness, they won't be so stupid, and they will bump into it and be scolded now. ”

The situation developed as Zhong Xuan expected.

Ma Teng, Han Sui and others, like Chang'an, fully cooperated with Liu Zhang to fight against the Xiongnu in the north. Ma Teng Han not only let go of Tianshui and other passages, but also went north to Wuwei to respond to Liu Zhang's troops to fight against the Xiongnu.

And Chang'an's Zhong Xuan and Cao Ang were the same, not only did they send people and forces to provide grain and grass to support Liu Zhang's northward journey, but Chang'an also dispatched 5,000 tiger and leopard cavalry to go out of Beidi County to respond to Liu Zhang's new army from the right.

The Ma-Han coalition army, Chang'an Cao's army, one left and one right, responded to Liu Zhang's new army to the north to meet the 100,000 troops of the Xiongnu.

War, a war that Liu Zhang simply does not want, is about to become a reality inexorably.

Not only Liu Zhang himself was not ready.

The new army was also not ready.

The new army had no experience in plain operations, no experience in large-scale operations, and no experience in fighting cavalry.

The two ambushes of the new army in Hanzhong last time were not large in number, and they were both ambushes. Last time, Ma Teng Han Sui and other Xiliang cavalry didn't even have a chance to fight back, so they didn't have any experience in fighting cavalry.

So, strictly speaking, the new army had no actual combat experience in fighting cavalry at all.

This is the biggest gamble Liu Zhang has played since he crossed over, and it is also the biggest military adventure.

And it's a gamble that was driven to the shelves.

Sometimes war is not something you can fight if you want to, and you don't fight if you don't.

Sometimes, you have to fight, knowing that if you do, you can lose badly, and you still have to fight.

Of course, Liu Zhang can not send troops, if he retreats in Hanzhong, there will be no more Huns who can do anything to him.

But Liu Zhang still chose to send troops at the first time.

When you should be afraid of death, you must be afraid of death.

When you should not be afraid of death, you must dare not to be afraid of death.

Liu Zhang brazenly led the largest army since the establishment of the new army, sent troops from two directions, all the way out of Chencang, all the way out of the valley, and at the same time advanced to Anding, preparing to meet the Xiongnu.

the Western Route Army, headed by Liu Zhang, and deputized by Wei Yan and Huang Zhong; The Eastern Route Army, headed by Zhang Ren, was led by Gan Ningfa. Li Hui was left to act as the Taishou in Hanzhong and act as the administrator of government affairs. The New First Army was all taken away by Liu Zhang, and the defense of Hanzhong was taken over by the New Second Army transferred from Ba County.

Liu Zhang, who has always been reluctant to send troops to Liangzhou or Sanfu, turned out to be a surprise to everyone by sending troops from two ways and Liangzhou and Sanfu at the same time.

Liu Zhang really didn't want to send troops.

But there is no way, the Huns are coming for you, if you don't come out, the Huns should be raging in Liangzhou and Sanfu, and you still have to come out then. Since you have to come out sooner or later, it's better to go all out at the beginning and give it a shot.

Bo is the national righteousness.

Bo is everyone's consistent hatred for the Huns.

Liu Zhang didn't expect everyone to cooperate with him so much, and he didn't expect Ma Teng Han Sui and Zhong Xiang Cao Ang to cooperate with him so much. When he woke up and regretted it, he couldn't turn back even if he wanted to.

Once the war machine is started, the huge wheels roll forward, which is difficult to stop, and at this time, as a commander, it is impossible for him to step on the brakes sharply.

However, Liu Zhang never thought of stepping on the brakes.

Hesitation in the battle is a taboo for the commander. Now that you have made up your mind, the only way to move forward is to move forward bravely, even if there is no road ahead, you must blast out a road for it.

When Liu Zhang's main force arrived in Gaoping, Ma Teng Han Sui on the left appeared in Zu Li with tacit understanding, and Zhong Xuan and Cao Ang on the right appeared in Yuzhi. In terms of the arrangement of troops alone, it seems that they are in harmony with the enemy. But Liu Zhang knew that this was obviously escorting himself, towards the guillotine, and towards the criticism arena.

Since everyone is so enthusiastic, even if it is a martial arts fight that he no longer wants, Liu Zhang can only cooperate with everyone to perform to his heart's content. (To be continued.) )
