Guan Yu actually has no confidence in Zhao Feng's current situation, quite nothing.

Although Zhang Lu has only one Nanzheng City left, with his reputation in Hanzhong, once his army withdraws, it is definitely not difficult for him to mobilize the people to start again. Although Zhao Feng has more than 20,000 people on hand, if he wants to appease Baocheng, Chenggu, Liangzhou and other places, there are no thousands of people to think about. There are only more than 10,000 troops left that can be mobilized, and the defenders of Zhang Lu in the city are estimated to be no less than 10,000. With a nearly one-to-one comparison of troops, this deal does not look like it is profitable in any case, not to mention that the 5,000 troops are not very reliable, and the combat effectiveness of the 5,000 Yizhou army is really weak.

Moreover, the lack of manpower is more fatal than the lack of troops. In order to regain Shangyong as soon as possible, Guan Yu seconded Zhou Taidu. The rest of the generals who can get their hands on it, except for Zhao Feng himself, is only Yang Ren who surrendered. However, Guan Yu has no confidence and no confidence, but he also knows that even if Zhao Feng can't take Nanzheng, he still has a great grasp of running back to Xichuan from Yangping Pass.

Throwing away the messy thoughts, Guan Yu also led the army to return to Jingzhou from the mountain road, and at the same time prepared to recover Shangyong and Nanxiang along the way. At the same time, Guan Yu also remotely commanded Wen Ping in Xiangyang and Li Yan in Fancheng through carrier pigeons, asking them to block the waterway of the Han River and cut off all grain and grass transported from Guanzhong to Shangyong.

"Shangyong is a mountain city, and the grain stock must be limited, and every few months, the defenders in the city will transfer grain and grass from Xiangyang. At present, the mediocre food is only enough to support one month at most. With the addition of Xiahou Yuan's garrison, the time of support will only be shorter! Zhuge Jin is in charge of logistics, so he naturally knows a lot about this.

"So good, it depends on who is hungry and whose stomach is hungry!" Guan Yu sneered, but he was also a little afraid in his heart, if it wasn't for Zhao Feng to take down Micang Mountain and take Zhang Lu's grain and grass, his current situation would not be much stronger than Xiahou Yuan.

Besides, Zhao Feng, looking at the big tent that was a lot empty, as well as the few people who were standing in front of him, and their faces were not very good-looking, he couldn't help laughing: "You seem to be lacking in confidence!" ”

"General, the last general is willing to lead an elite army, climb up to Nanzheng at night, and capture the city!" Or Niu Jin is the most daring, and he jumped out directly and asked for help. On the contrary, Wang Ping, Ma Yan, Zhuge Jun, Fei Guan and Yang Ren all had solemn faces and did not say a word.

"How can we storm when we don't have enough troops? I don't know if you have a plan? After Zhao Feng finished speaking, his eyes still looked at Ma Jian and Zhuge Jun. Among these people in the tent, they are the only two who are most likely to give advice.

"General, at present, our army is insufficient, and Zhang Lu, the land of Hanzhong, has been operating for many years, once the war drags on for a long time, and Zhang Lu teaches the people to rise up, then our army will inevitably suffer from the enemy and will not be at peace. The only way to do this is to fight quickly! "It was Ma Jian who shook his head and talked eloquently.

"What's the trick for you?" Zhao Feng was also quite expecting him to say something to himself. Historically, Zhuge Liang had to respect his opinion. Although he is still very young, I might as well take a look at his paper first, maybe I can give myself some inspiration.

"The general has already made up his mind, so why bother to be ugly? Zijun is already familiar with the geography of Hanzhong, but the general deliberately asked General Guan to leave General Yang Ren, presumably to use a trick to surrender! Ma Tan said with a smile.

"The kid still has a little vision!" Zhao Feng said secretly in his heart. This Ma Tan seems to be more able to figure out his intentions, the reason why he was so powerful under Zhuge Liang in history is probably inseparable from his ability!

"Having said that, but will Zhang Lu fall for the scheme?" Zhuge Jun on the side frowned, but his eyes were looking at Yang Ren. In terms of understanding Zhang Lu here, Yang Ren is the most thorough.

"Zhang Lu may be able to trick him, but Yan Pu is resourceful, I'm afraid I can't hide it from him!" Yang Ren groaned for a while, but he was still more sure of the authenticity.

"Who is Yan Pu?" Although Ma Tan was asking, the trace of disdain in his tone still made everyone hear. Zhao Feng's brows hurt a little, this Ma Jian is too underestimated to be a hero in the world, how can he be so frivolous at a young age.

"Zhang Lu's two major strategists, Yang Song and Yan Pu. Yang Song is extremely greedy for money, but the Yang family is a big family in Hanzhong, if Zhang Lu wants to sit firmly in Hanzhong, he has to support this person, so he has a lot of patience with him; Yan Pu was said to have come from Guanzhong in the past, this person was resourceful, and Zhang Lu fought with the Yizhou army, mostly relying on his advice. Yang Ren didn't care too much about the tone of Ma Yan's yellow-mouthed child's words, after all, he was just heading towards Yan Pu, and he said in detail at the moment.

"Yang, General Yang, are you also from Yang?" Ma Tan asked curiously. Yang Ren shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Although my surname is Yang, I am from Runan, and I only came to Hanzhong to avoid trouble, and it has nothing to do with Yang Song." ”

"Hanzhong was originally only a small county, with no more than 100,000 people. After Zhang Lu came, he recruited more homeless people and occupied Xicheng, which gathered seven or eight hundred thousand people. Yang Ren was afraid that Zhao Feng and the others would not know much about the situation, so he continued to explain in detail.

"I see!" After listening to Yang Ren's words, everyone basically had a deeper understanding of the situation in Hanzhong. Zhao Feng pondered for a moment, but still smiled: "It's okay, even if Yan Pu is resourceful, even if he can see through the plan, he can't see through the plan." To deal with Zhang Lu, it is necessary to take a multi-pronged approach! At that moment, Zhao Feng ordered everyone to act according to their strategies.

A few days later, Zhang Lu in Nanzheng City received a letter from his former subordinate Yang Ren, in which Yang Ren claimed that due to the attack on Shangyong, Guan Yu had led a large army to help, and now the camp was empty, but there were only a few thousand. He is willing to set fire to the camp tonight to cause chaos, and then join forces with the defenders in Zhanglu City to break the Jingzhou army in one fell swoop.

"What do you think, two?" Zhang Lu handed the letter to Yang Song and Yan Pu and asked. He is also a self-aware person, and he can still get some ideas on government affairs, so these military strategies are not his strengths, so it is better to ask Yang Song and Yan Pu to ask.

Yan Pu read the letter again and again, and finally frowned: "Lord, no matter whether Yang Ren surrenders or not, there must be fraud in this matter!" ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Zhang Lu motioned for Yang Ren to speak in more detail.

"It is not surprising that Yang Ren is greedy for life and afraid of death, and is capricious. But Zhao Botao is a famous general in the world, how can he let Yang Ren come and go freely? At present, this letter is either written by Zhao Feng instructed Yang Ren, or Zhao Feng waited for us to go out of the city and rob the village, so he set up an ambush to annihilate us! Yan Pu said slowly.

"That's not necessarily, Yang Ren said in his letter that Shangyong was attacked, couldn't it be that General Xiahou's rescue troops were dispatched? Moreover, after careful investigation, it was said that a large army had withdrawn. If this is the case, the Jingzhou army is scarce, why don't we take this opportunity to defeat it, and recover Hanzhong as soon as possible! Jansson's opinion was different.

"This?" Zhang Lu saw that his two strategists did not agree on the same opinion, and he was also a little at a loss. Yan Pu thought about it for a while, but said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, I have a plan, but I can break the Jingzhou army!" ”

"Strategist, please speak!" Zhang Lu hurriedly motioned to Yan Pu to be more detailed.

"The lord can send a small number of military horses and let them enter the camp first. After his ambush is exhausted, the lord will lead the army to cover up and kill, and he will surely win a great victory! Yan Pu said with a smile.

"So good, so do it!" Zhang Lu clapped his hands and said. He didn't see it, and a smug smile flashed in Yang Song's eyes.

After the discussion, Yang Song found an excuse and took the time to go back to his home. "General Wang, please tell General Zhao that I have done what he has asked me to do." In his study, Yang Song said to a big man, this person is Wang Ping.

"There is Mr. Lao, my general's name is Mr. Jiuyang, and he will take Hanzhong in the future, and he still needs Mr. to contribute more!" Wang Ping lowered his voice and smiled. Last night, Wang Ping sneaked into the city at night to meet Yang Song, and sent the treasures prepared by Zhao Feng and a handwritten letter, so that he could try to persuade Zhang Lu to lead his army out of the city, and then open the most negligent east gate, and plan his own men to enter the city. Yang Song wanted to bother to speak, but he didn't want Yan Pu to have already made up his mind, so he didn't have to worry about anything.

At that moment, Yang Song explained Yan Pu's strategy in detail, and after Wang Ping received the reply, he took advantage of the emptiness of the defenders' defense, secretly fell from the city with a rope, and returned to the Jingzhou military camp to reply to Zhao Feng.

"Good!" After receiving Wang Ping's confirmation, Zhao Feng was also a little more sure. At that moment, he ordered Niu Jin to lead an army of 3,000 to ambush on the side of the east gate, and the rest of the people to ambush on both sides of the camp with him. When the fire starts, let Wang Ping lead the army of 500 to kill first, and then lead the army to kill when all the army enters the ambush circle.

"General, how do you know that Yang Song is greedy for money. When I saw the treasure that the general gave him last night, my eyes were about to fall out! Wang Ping remembered Yang Song's blue and faint eyes at that time, and he was also a little apprehensive, and he admired Zhao Feng's judgment.

Zhao Feng smiled, but said in his heart: Brother Wang Ping, if I told you that I knew about this greed for money from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", you wouldn't think I was crazy!

"Lord, it's all ready!" On the head of Nan Zhengcheng, Yang Bai looked at the hundreds of cavalry behind him and said to Zhang Lu. It was past midnight, and it was dark and quiet.

"Okay, you lead the army out first. When the fire in his camp broke out, he immediately entered, and I led my army to follow! Zhang Lu looked at the silent Jingzhou military camp in the distance, only a few small torches for lighting, and it didn't look very real from a distance.

"Lord, look, it's on fire!" Yang Song said suddenly. Don't want him to shout, Zhang Lu also saw it clearly, the back of the Jingzhou military camp suddenly burned, and the fire was really not small.

"Kill!" Yang Bai took the lead and led hundreds of cavalry to kill the burning Jingzhou army camp. Zhang Lu gathered a large team of men and horses, and prepared to fight out, leaving only Yan Pu and Yang Song two strategists and a group of civil servants, and led more than 1,000 people to stay in Nanzheng City.

"As expected!" Yang Bai, who entered the center of the ambush circle, can now see clearly, although the Jingzhou military camp is burning, there are very few people inside, probably only a few hundred, just running back and forth to cause the illusion of panic.

At this moment, the shouts of killing on both sides began, and a group of people suddenly killed, and one of the first people jumped on the horse and laughed: "You have already won the plan, and you still don't get off the horse and surrender?" ”

"Humph!" Yang Bai didn't answer, and went up directly to cut it with a knife. Wang Ping saw that his martial arts were mediocre, and he only used half of his kung fu to fight and act with him, just to introduce Zhang Lu into the middle of the game.

The two fought against each other for only ten rounds, and then they heard the sound of killing in the distance, and Zhang Lu led the army to cover and kill from behind. Swinging his sword to force Wang Ping back, Yang Bai also said proudly: "You wait for such a trick, it has been seen through by my military division, and you don't surrender quickly!" ”

"Let's see who sees whom!" Wang Ping sneered. As if to confirm his words, there were suddenly shouts of killing on both sides, and the two men and horses wrapped Zhang Lu's rear army in the core, and cut it into two sections to kill him.

"What's going on?" Yang Bai was shocked when he saw this, and he was a little distracted, Wang Ping's big knife had already been slashed on the head, and he hurriedly raised his gun to block it, and was slashed on the shoulder by a knife and fell off the horse.

"Yang Song, what are you going to do?" On the head of Nan Zhengcheng, Yan Pu was held down by several people, but Yang Song, who still drew his sword out of the sheath in front of him, shouted angrily.

"Hehe, Master Yan, the one who knows the times is Junjie, and I have defected to Uncle Liu Huang. Yan Junshi is very intelligent, why don't you abandon the darkness and turn to the light with me? Yang Songpi said with a smile.

"Phew, you dog thief sells for glory, and you can't die well! I, Yan Pu, am I an unfaithful and unrighteous person, why bother to kill if I want to kill! Yan Pu was not afraid, but just scolded angrily.

"Huh?" Yang Song suddenly felt that his face could not be hung up, and he pulled out the long sword at his waist with a horizontal heart, and directly stabbed Yan Pu to death on the spot with a sword, and then ordered someone to open the suspension bridge to receive the Jingzhou army into the city.

"Which one is Janson?" Niu Jin, who had just entered the city, asked loudly while sending someone to take over the city defense.

"Yang Song is here, who is the unknown general?" Yang Song was speechless after saying this, because the long sword in Niu Jin's hand had already inserted into his heart, and after pulling it out, the whole person fell down. The people behind Niu Jin all moved and killed none of Yang Song's followers.

"I don't know who you are, but the general told me that you are a villain, teach me to kill you while the chaos is in chaos, and you can't complain about me!" Looking at Yang Song's dead corpse, Niu Jin muttered to himself in his heart. At the same time, the men and horses of Zhang Lu's robbery camp have also fallen into a heavy siege, and it is difficult to protect themselves. Zhang Lu was escorted by dozens of personal guards, desperately fighting his way out of a bloody road, and went straight to Nanzheng City.

"What's going on?" Zhang Lu saw that the lights of the city were brilliant, but the banner was already of the Jingzhou Army, and he suddenly felt a cool air rushing from the soles of his feet to his head. In the battle, when Zhao Feng retreated and Zhang Lu's army retreated, Zhang Lu was slack, he lured him out of the city with a series of schemes, set up an ambush to annihilate it in one fell swoop, and captured Nanzheng, Zhang Lu's generals Yang Bai, strategists Yan Pu and Yang Song all died in the chaos. The land of Hanzhong is all obtained by Zhao Feng.

"Young Chang, what are the casualties of our army?" In the mansion of the Marquis of Hanning in Nanzheng, Zhao Feng asked Ma Yan, who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield and counting the number of casualties.

"The two armies are fighting, and casualties are inevitable. Our army lost 2,098 men and 320 were seriously wounded, and it is not known how many of them survived. Another 740 were slightly wounded, but not in serious condition. The Hanzhong army lost 4,187 people in battle, 5,524 people surrendered and captured, and hundreds of wounded are still counting! Ma Tan replied.

"Hmmm! Youchang is very attentive now! Zhao Feng saw that Ma Jian calculated the numbers so accurately, and he also knew that this was inseparable from his previous beating. But there's nothing wrong with being detailed, but there's no need to nitpick. At that moment, Zhao Feng continued to broadcast on demand: "In the future, this casualty figure will be counted accurately, and it will be accurate to 100 people, understand?" ”

"I understand!" Ma Jian nodded, and at this time, Zhuge Jun rushed in and said, "General, Zhang Lu was captured by Niu Jinsheng and is coming here!" ”
