Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Storm Suddenly Changes

Zhang Lang greeted him, smiled and hugged his fists and said, "Mr. Yongnian, don't come to harm?" ”

Zhang Song didn't salute either, and said angrily: "It's all because of you, I, Zhang Song, have become a complete villain!" I was killed by you! ”

Zhang Lang smiled, helped Zhang Song and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, please sit down." ”

Zhang Song sat down at the left head, and Zhang Lang returned to the top and sat down.

Zhang Song glanced at Zhang Lang and asked angrily, "You tell me honestly, did you plan to use me to seize Xichuan from the beginning?" ”

Zhang Lang didn't hide it, and nodded, "Actually, this is also a last resort!" If Liu Zhang hadn't sent Mr. Yongnian to lobby, there would have been no good chance! ”

Zhang Song was very depressed, thought for a moment, and glanced at Zhang Lang, "I think, you didn't want to seize Xichuan at the beginning!" The so-called joint expedition to Xichuan by Zhang Lu is just a fake plan to destroy the enemy, and your real goal was originally Zhang Lu! ”

Zhang Lang smiled, but did not deny it.

Zhang Song laughed at himself, "It's ridiculous! As soon as those of us heard that your Lu Fengxian's army was pressing the border, we were all stupid, and we sent the opportunity ourselves! ”

Zhang Lang smiled and asked, "Mr. Yongnian is here, presumably he won't go back, right?" ”

Zhang Song smiled bitterly and flicked his sleeves and sighed, "Where else can I go back?" If I hadn't seen the opportunity to run early, I would have been beheaded by Liu Zhang to show the public! He sighed for a while, raised his head, hugged his fists and said: "If the general does not dislike it, Zhang Song is willing to follow the work of dogs and horses." ”

Zhang Lang was overjoyed and immediately stood up, "With Mr. Yongnian's help, Xichuan will be like a bag in his pocket!" Please bow down to me! As he spoke, he bowed to Zhang Song. Zhang Lang was frightened, hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and said urgently: "It is a blessing to be able to serve the general below!" ”

Zhang Lang sat back, and Zhang Song also sat down again.

Zhang Song pondered: "The general asked Zhang Lujun to attack Xichong, presumably because he wanted Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang to fight and lose both, so that they could reap the benefits of the fisherman, right?" ”

Zhang Lang nodded, "That's exactly what it means." Frowning, "But even so, if you want to take Xichuan in a short time, I'm afraid it's not easy!" ”

"Not bad! Although the general has captured the crucial Sword Pavilion, there are still two checkpoints ahead, one is Xichong City, and the other is Deyang, and the general must conquer two places to enter the Shuzhong Plain! And Liu Zhang still has an army of nearly 200,000 under his command, if the war is delayed, with the wealth of Shuzhong, Liu Zhang will train more soldiers! The general should be able to capture Shuzhong in the end, but I am afraid that there will be great losses, and the originally rich land of Shuzhong will be scorched earth, and the gains outweigh the losses! ”

Zhang Lang frowned, "That's exactly what I'm worried about!" It's best to win this battle quickly, but how can you win it quickly? ”

Zhang Song smiled, "There is a plan in the downside." ”

"Oh? Sir, please? ”

Zhang Song got up and walked to the map, followed by Zhang Lang and Xu Huang. Zhang Song pointed to the vicinity of Yinping County, dozens of miles above the Sword Pavilion, "There is an inaccessible path near this Yinping, which can cross the mountains and mountains to reach Jiangyou!" ”

Zhang Lang's heart moved, thinking of the story of Deng Ai's smuggling into Yinping and destroying Shu, he couldn't help but feel extremely magical.

Zhang Song continued: "This trail, except for the local hunters, outsiders know nothing, and I only learned about it by chance because of a coincidence! The finger pointed at the Minjiang River, "After smuggling through Yinping, you can go all the way south along the Minjiang River and approach Chengdu!" If the general acts according to this plan, within a month, Nishikawa will be owned by the general! ”

Zhang Lang pondered for a moment, "Isn't there a garrison along the Min River?" "Yes, but not much, several guards are inactive, and it is impossible to compete with the general's tiger and wolf army! At present, Liu Zhang and others are all paying attention to the direction of Langzhong and Xichong. ”

Zhang Lang looked at the map and thought to himself: It seems that the original battle plan must be adjusted! I'm afraid it's too late! No matter what, with Ma Chao's ability to attack Hanzhong independently, there should be no problem, and this side is pinching the Sword Pavilion, and it is difficult for Yang Ren and Yang Ang to come back! Zhang Lang finally decided to adjust the battle plan, turned his head to Zhang Song and said, "Mr. Yongnian will join our army from today onwards!" I decided to follow Mr. Yongnian's Jianyì and smuggle Yinping, Mr. with me! "No."

Zhang Lang said to Xu Huang again: "General Xu Huang's troops and horses are guarding the two passes of Sword Pavilion and Baishui, don't let anyone in and out!" Also, send someone to inform General Ma Chao of my decision! "No."

Early the next morning, Zhang Lang led nearly 100,000 Long Tao's army to set off under the guidance of Zhang Song and went north along the Dianjiang River.

At the same time, the 60,000 blue wolf army led by Ma Chao suddenly appeared in the Meridian Valley, broke the unprepared Zhang Lu army in one go, and the army poured into Hanzhong. In the next few days, the 60,000 blue wolf army commander drove straight into the furious advance, and conquered all the important towns north of Hanshui one after another with lightning speed, and the army approached the Hanshui ferry.

Zhang Lu was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly sent Zhang Wei to lead his army to meet the enemy in Hanshui. Ma Chao made a frontal feint, and he led the main force around the upper shoal to wade across the river, and suddenly appeared behind Zhang Lujun's side, Zhang Lujun saw the chaos, Ma Chao took the opportunity to lead the army to attack and kill, Zhang Lujun was killed in just a moment, and the corpses were all over the field, and Zhang Wei himself was killed by Ma Chao in the chaos.

The remnants fled back to Hanzhong, and Ma Chaoshuai's army surrounded Hanzhong City.

The armies of Yang Ren and Yang Ang have been storming Xichong for ten days, losing nearly 10,000 horses and horses, but they have not made any progress. On this day, the two discussed in the big tent whether to continue to attack Xichong.

At this moment, a messenger disguised as a common man broke in, knelt on the ground and shouted: "It's not good two generals, Lu Bu's army suddenly attacked Hanzhong!" ……”

The two generals were shocked, Yang Ren hurried to the messenger, lifted him up, and shouted: "You are talking nonsense!" That's impossible! ”

The messenger said urgently: "Everything the villain said is true! Now that Lu Bujun has closed the Sword Pavilion and Baishui Pass, if it weren't for the villain pretending to be the people, he wouldn't be able to pass at all! ”

The two generals looked at each other, and Yang Ang asked, "Who attacked Hanzhong?" Is it Lu Bu? ”

The envoy shook his head, "Lu Bu's general banner is still above the Sword Pavilion, and it was Ma Chao, the general under his command, who attacked Hanzhong, ten days ago, and suddenly attacked Hanzhong along the Meridian Valley!" Now, Hanzhong City has been surrounded, and the lord is in danger, and the two generals are quickly returning to help! ”

The two generals were anxious in their hearts, and immediately called up all the soldiers and returned immediately, but they were blocked by the Sword Pavilion. The two generals waved their troops to attack the Sword Pavilion, and the result was self-evident, except for throwing down countless corpses, there was nothing to gain.

In desperation, the two generals could only lead the army back more than ten miles to the village. A day later, the two generals suddenly led their troops to surrender to Liu Zhang's side.

The good news was transmitted back to Chengdu, the whole city was jubilant, and Liu Zhang was overjoyed to be appointed as the general of Shuzhong, commanding all the troops in Shuzhong. At this moment, Zhang Ren had already led more than 200,000 troops to the Sword Pavilion Pass, preparing to seize the Sword Pavilion in one go.
