Chapter 323: River Mosquitoes

Hanzhong, Hanshui.

Just when the multiple forces were fighting against the Sword Pavilion, Huang Zhong and Xu Huang led an army of 30,000 to start crossing the river at noon on this day, and the mighty team boarded the boat from the five Hanshui ferries at the same time, and the flags in the sky were hunting, and the momentum was extremely huge, and more than 200 ferries shuttled back and forth on both sides of the Han River, transporting countless soldiers and ordnance shining with dangerous light across the riverbank.

Behind them, there were mountains of grain and grass, and the four counties of Xiliang had a bumper harvest for two consecutive years, and the savings were enough to support an army of more than 100,000 to fight abroad.

There was some small confusion and conflict when crossing the river, there was a conflict between a Bingzhou light cavalry and a Chen Cang heavy infantry over who would board the ship first, they were subordinate to Huang Zhong, the general of Fenwei, and Zhao Ang, the general of Zhendong Zhonglang, the former was the number one general under Lu Bu's account, and the latter was a general who had been stationed in the border for a long time, and had a special status.

Crossing the river this time, Zhao Ang deliberately wanted to compete for the first credit of attacking Angu, he was already tired of staying in Chencang, and wanted to change a place to breathe, unlike Qin Yilu, who was beautiful all day long, kept the wine from the glass, and lived a life of paper gold intoxication, Zhao Ang was a person with ideals and ambitions, so this crusade against Hanzhong, he wanted to deliberately express himself, so as to be recognized by Lu Bu.

After Huang Zhongjie's report, he just smiled faintly: "General Zhao is high-spirited, and his heart is available, so let him go first!" ”

The guards were ordered to leave, Huang Zhong overlooked the army crossing the river on the Jeechen horse, and looked up at Xu Shu and Zhao Ang who were already waiting on the west bank, with a slightly regretful expression.

Originally, they wanted to surround Chenggu and lure out the main force of the Hanzhong army, which was the policy formulated by Jia Xu before the war, but due to the heavy rain for many days, coupled with the discord between the Bingzhou army and the Xiliang army, it was overturned.

"It doesn't matter, it can't be the climate." Huang Zhong raised his horsewhip. Now the main force of the Hanzhong army is guarding the city and the city is fleeing westward in a hurry, as long as the three-way army encircles Hanzhong and forms the main decisive battle, the overall situation can be done.

This little episode of crossing the river soon ended, and Zhao Ang's unreadful and arrogant crossing the river continued, while Huang Zhong's troops remained behind. It was not until in the afternoon that most of the Western Liang Army had crossed the west bank and built a strong defensive line that the center of the Chinese army began to move.

Soon the ship arrived on the west bank, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang and a group of generals disembarked, and then thought that the guards came over and whispered to Huang Zhong that someone asked to see him.

Huang Zhong's face sank, and he scolded that the army had just been stationed in the camp, and he needed to raise the military account, why was it so indiscriminate. The guard hurriedly explained: "That person claimed to be from Hanzhong. Huang Zhong and Xu Huang glanced at each other and shook off their robes: "Let him wait for me!" ”

After Huang Zhong and Xu Huang dealt with all the matters, they left the big tent of the Chinese army, and hurried to a simple camp with Xu Huang, where a young man waited for a long time, and after seeing Huang Zhong and Xu Huang, he did not perform a big salute. Just arched his hand without being humble or arrogant, and said, "Under Yan Zhi." From Hanzhong! ”

If he is a messenger of Zhang Lu, he must claim to be from the shogunate or the Zhang clan; With Hanzhong as the name, it was obviously the Dongzhou scholars who supported Lu Bu, and when he heard Yan Zhi say this, Huang Zhong's brows relaxed. Long before the expedition, Lu Bu had reached a consensus with Shilin in Hanzhong, and this Yan family was the first family to agree to cooperate with Lu Bu.

At this time, the family in Hanzhong that supported Wen Hou was ready. As soon as the Wenhou army arrives, will the flag be changed? Yan Zhi said this, paused, and showed a hint of regret: "It's a pity that my cousin Yan Fu is loyal to Zhang Lu and is difficult to befriend." The beautiful jade of the silk is only paid Yongjun, hoping that the old general can surround him with his life after seizing Hanzhong! ”

It turned out that this was the case, Huang Zhong stroked his black and gray beard and did not speak.

"In exchange, we can give the general a big gift!"

Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xu Huang, frowned, and said, "What kind of gift?" ”

"Let the generals and soldiers sit on the solid without blood!"

Yan Zhi replied calmly, Xu Huang was not satisfied with this answer: "Your origin is unknown, your identity is unclear, just a few big words are like winning the trust of others, it is too stupid"

Yan Zhi knew Xu Huang's identity, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he said unhurriedly at the moment: "What I said is true, you will be able to win, what you say is false, but I am dead, and the two generals will know in less than half a day, why not wait and see?" ”

Huang Zhong stared at his face and nodded quietly, he didn't like to sell Guanzi, but this kind of thing didn't take much time to verify, so he decided to wait a minute, now there are no weak soldiers under Lu Bu's account, after disarmament, the soldiers and horses under his command are all veterans of the long-term battlefield, if they can win Angu without blood, it would be great, as long as it is enough to ensure that there are no accidents.

And so the unexpected happened.

The enemy stationed in Angu will be Zhang Wei, the general of Hanzhong, who is the cousin of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, he is a typical disciple of the family, seeing Huang Zhong leading a large army to the city, he also led Angu soldiers and horses out of the city to confront Huang Zhong, except for a mutual arrow shooting, there was no large-scale battle, Huang Zhong came from afar, most of the soldiers were exhausted, and did not want to fight with Zhang Wei; And Yang Wei knew that Huang Zhong was powerful, and he didn't dare to fight easily, he just wanted to defend it without losing it. So the two sides seem to have reached some kind of consensus, and there will be no decisive battle, and it will not rule out harassment by small forces.

It was mentioned above that Zhang Wei was a typical child of a family, and he didn't like to sleep in tents in the wild, so when he was sure that he would not fight with Huang Zhong, he naturally chose to set up the big tent of the Chinese army in the city.

Fortunately, there are still two temporary stone barriers and a section of earthen wall at the entrance, which represents Zhang Lu's determination to fight to the end, which is particularly ironic after the building is empty.

After arranging all the defenses, Zhang Wei and his staff stepped into the palace together, and at that moment, the two earthen fortresses suddenly collapsed, blocking the main entrance, separating them from the guards who had not yet had time to enter, and the earthen wall also collapsed, and several killers hiding in it viciously pounced on Yang Wei, who was wearing golden ring armor and cloak.

To be precise, these assassins were not hidden in the wall, they were built in the wall, the earthen wall was built close to the body, leaving a void inside, and the gaps were smoothed with plaster outside, Yang Wei only accepted the security after the main force of Zhang Lu's army retreated, so he didn't think there was any danger, and the measure of building the killer in the wall was deep and breathtaking.

It's a pity that this exquisitely designed and ruthless trap is destined to be fruitless, the gold-armored "Zhang Wei" is his lieutenant pretend, and the staff members are also the dead soldiers raised by the Zhang family, and after a short but fierce fight, the killers are all killed.

Finally, after investigation, the soldiers found something special during the inspection: these assassins had two words tattooed with ink under their armpits, and they were only recently burned with lime, and after some identification, they managed to restore these two words: river mosquito (to be continued......
