Soon after the generals followed Wang Xu to the big tent of the Chinese army, the military ministers who were in charge of various logistics and auxiliary matters also arrived one after another, Xu Shu'an sat in a lower position next to Wang Xu, although Zhao Yu was innocent and lively and loved to play tricks on people, but he has always been very measured. Knowing in his heart that the military discussion could not be joked, he silently pressed his sword and stood behind Xu Shu.

His eyes gently swept over the Chinese martial arts in the hall, and Wang Xu nodded with satisfaction: "Everyone is here, then let's start!" ”

"But the lord intends to attack Nanzheng now?" Guan Hai couldn't bear it, and took the lead in asking.

"Huh! Don't worry, wait for me to talk about the current shape first! Wang Xu waved his hand, did not rush to answer, got up and walked slowly to the map of Hanzhong hanging on the wall of the tent behind him, pointed to Nan Zheng and said with a smile: "This is Nanzheng, the capital of Hanzhong County, Zhang Lu has gathered all the soldiers here, as well as most of his faithful followers in the Five Bucket Rice Dao." I don't know if you understand what this means, so I'll just talk about it briefly! ”

"There are still nearly 40,000 soldiers under Zhang Lu's command, and more than 20,000 elites, which is his main strength, but it cannot be ignored that he still has tens of thousands of fanatical believers in Nanzheng City, although this group of believers has not undergone systematic training and lacks combat effectiveness, but they blindly obey Zhang Lu, as long as they put on armor and pick up weapons, it is also a good force, and more importantly, for them, defending Zhang Lu, the sect leader, is sacred, this idea can be called crazy. During the siege, we will inevitably face their stubborn resistance, whether old or weak, they will fight to the death, which is completely different from the battlefield we have faced in the past. ”

"This cult is really harmful, when Nanzheng is defeated, I will burn this doctrinal book to the ground!" Gao Shun, who has never believed in ghosts and gods, suddenly shouted angrily. He came from a poor background. We are well aware of the sufferings of the people. He also cares more about the people. Knowing that these people were deceived by Zhang Lu and might die on the battlefield, he was very angry in his heart.

"Huh!" Wang Xu smiled and shook his head, but he objected: "This move is inappropriate, in fact, the doctrine preached by Zhang Lu is not a cult itself, but has the purpose of persuading the people to do good, which is different from the Yellow Turban Dao back then." The reason why he is hated is that he took advantage of the simplicity and kindness of the people, and used the teachings to restrain the people to serve their selfish interests. His ancestors cultivated the Tao in order to become immortals. And his cultivation was to win the hearts of the people in order to seek worldly power. So we want to kill Zhang Lu, not to destroy this sect, this Taoism is also the spiritual culture of our Han Dynasty, inherited for a long time, when the city is broken, you must not come nonsense, these classics are to be preserved, he is also the crystallization of wisdom and spiritual civilization. ”

Saying that, Wang Xu pretended to laugh self-deprecatingly and explained: "Actually, I am also a teacher. The master who taught me martial arts is a Taoist master, so no matter what. I hope that everyone will not burn the precious classics of the Daomen because of their resentment of Zhang Lu. We want to destroy the Zhang Lu military group, not the Daomen. I hope you will remember that what we are fighting for is the country and the people, and as the treasure of our country's spiritual civilization, whether we like it or not, believe it or not, we should keep it, and all the princes should open up their horizons and look at this issue from a high level. ”

In fact, this is also what Wang Xu is worried about, this group of generals will not care so much, and in the case of resentment in their hearts, once Nanzheng City is broken, it will definitely burn Zhang Lu's branch of the Dao Gate to the ground. After all, the Taoist inheritance of Longhu Mountain will be missing a lot of classics, after all, the Longhu Mountain lineage originated from Zhang Lu's grandfather Zhang Ling, which will make Chinese culture lose a big treasure, and this sin can not be afforded.

The Chinese ministers in the hall obviously understood Wang Xu's words better, and they all showed admiration, and although the military generals did not understand too much, after looking at each other for a long time, they still replied in unison: "The last general will listen to the teachings of the lord!" ”

"Okay, just remember." Wang Xu nodded, and did not continue to be verbose on this issue, and his face turned to the war level. "However, it is precisely because of Zhang Lu's deception that the Nanzheng soldiers will be supported by tens of thousands of people, and our attack will be extremely difficult. So don't rush to storm for the time being, but pave all the way forward first. ”

Most of the people in the "......" battalion were puzzled, what else did they need to sweep under the city, and they looked at each other blankly, and only a few people had an understanding.

"Huh! Ladies and gentlemen, look. Wang Xu drew everyone's attention again, pointed to the map and said: "Zhang Lu's core strength is still there, because of his teachings, his cronies and followers are bound to fight to the death, so we must be prepared to fight a protracted war this time, and it is not an overnight achievement to win Hanzhong."

In addition, in a short period of time, it is impossible for Zhang Lu to gather all the believers in Nanzheng, and many people will not leave their homes, so although we surround Nanzheng, we must guard against someone from making trouble from the rear. If there is a call from the people with high prestige in the region, then bringing a group of people to give us some sneak attacks from time to time to invade the transportation and grain and grass in our rear will surely cause endless troubles and be detrimental to our protracted war.

What's more, the people are easy to blindly obey, and they are most afraid of starting from one place and everywhere, if a large number of people in Hanzhong are turned over, or in groups of three or five, or in groups of one hundred and ten day and night, then our army will be mired in a quagmire, and the shape will be worried. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xu's sharp eyes swept over the people in the hall, and he said in a resolute tone: "Therefore, we must cut off all of Zhang Lu's wings, take the first step to appease the people, and also prevent Zhang Lu from leaving a backup move outside of Nanzheng." ”

"The intention of the lord, but you want to stabilize the regions of Hanzhong County first?" He asked hesitantly.

"Not bad!" Wang Xu nodded affirmatively. "Within half a month, I will not attack Nanzheng, and the generals must supervise and appease the people everywhere in the whole of Hanzhong, and publicize the superior decree of Jingzhou. Do you understand what I mean? ”

Everyone replied in unison: "The last general (subordinate) understands!" ”

"Good!" Wang Xu smiled and immediately pointed to the high-hanging map of Hanzhong. "Where is Zhao Yun?"

"The last general!" Zhao Yun got up and answered.

"I order you to appoint sergeants to be responsible for all the large and small towns and townships in Chenggu County in the rear, ten people are stationed in mountain villages, fifty people are stationed in small townships, and 100 people are stationed in large townships. You don't have to go there yourself, but this area is under your control, and there is a problem with the people you dispatch. You're in charge! Understandable? ”

"No!" At this moment, everyone understood. Zhao Yun didn't say much. Only a mouthful of words was spitted.

"Where is Zhang Liao?"

"In!"

"Ming Ru is responsible for the territory of Anyang County, north of Chenggu, and the rest is the same as Zhao Yun, can you understand?"

"The last general commands!" Zhang Liao took the arrow with an expression on his face.

"Huang Zhong, order you to select sergeants to be responsible for stationing in Dingjun Mountain, Tiandang Mountain and other dangerous roads in Hanzhong, and be sure to establish strict sentry posts, strictly check the people who come and go, monitor the movements of various places, and control these military key places."

"The last general will never be dishonored!" The first time I received a task. Huang Zhongqing looked a little excited.

"Wei Yan, you send people to guard Yangping Pass. Xu Huang was in charge of Chuyang County, and Gao Shun was in charge of Nanxiang and Xicheng in the rear. You are limited to half a month to complete all the garrisons, and the soldiers and horses that have fallen must first report to the soldiers Cao Peng Chen Deng, as for yourself, if necessary, you can go in person, or not, arrange as appropriate, in addition, can there be objections? ”

"Ministers obey the orders of the lord!" All the civil and military officers in the hall stood up and responded.

"Good! Then go ahead and make your own arrangements! ”

After the military discussion ended, Wang Xu took Xu Shu and Zhao Yu and walked back to his main camp slowly. Zhao Yu, who has long been a little unable to hold back, has a lot of problems. Keep asking questions all the way.

"Brother Xu, is this battle going to take a long time?"

"Hmm!"

"And how long do you think it will take?"

"That's not a good thing to say. No matter how fast it is, it will take two or three months, it's hard to say slowly, you have to look at the shape! ”

"Then will we attack the city in half a month?"

"Hmmm! After stabilizing all parts of Hanzhong, they attacked. ”

"That ......"

Seeing that Wang Xu was really annoyed by the question, Xu Shucai interjected with a smile: "Yu'er, don't be difficult for your brother Xu, he is annoyed now!" ”

Zhao Yu blinked his big eyes, tilted his little head and thought about it, then turned his head to look at Wang Xu who was smiling bitterly, and then nodded: "Okay, let's let go of Brother Xu first!" ”

In fact, Wang Xu is really under pressure, and it looks easy, but in fact, it is not ordinary difficult to beat Nan Zheng Zhenzhen. The most important thing is that Liu Zhang's side in Yizhou can't say what he will do, although most of his temperament will not, and there are even more Gan Ning and others who rebel, but who can say if the time drags on for a long time?

Fortunately, Wang Xu was overjoyed by the swiftness of the generals' actions, and in less than 13 days, the garrisons in various places had been completed, and the entire Hanzhong was tightly controlled. During this period, as expected, many Wudou Midao believers who incited the people were caught. Just in order to prevent the following sergeants from indiscriminately arresting people to receive merit, Wang Xu asked the spy and Liu Yi's thief Cao to cooperate vigorously, and the arrested people must be collected by them. At the same time, the post will post an example, and if there is a sergeant acting indiscriminately, the people will be able to report to the temporary supervision point set up in Shangyong City.

The discipline of Jingzhou sergeants has always been strict, and with this measure, it completely eliminates the possibility of misbehaving sergeants taking advantage of the chaos to rob.

In addition, the defense around Yangping Pass and Dingjun Mountain was somewhat unexpected, and both Wei Yan and Huang Zhong went to see it in person, and finally both proposed that a large number of sergeants were needed to be stationed. Wei Yan not only had to take away the precious 2,000 crossbowmen to garrison Yangping, but also proposed to transfer Huo Du and Huo Jun to the two brothers, on the grounds that many of the leaders of the few famous clans outside Yangping Pass supported Zhang Lu, and they were afraid that he would lead his clan to help.

Huang Zhong had to leave 3,000 people, as well as Yang Ling, Bao Long, and even himself. His reason was to let Wang Xu approve it directly, and even planned to send some more soldiers, because the soldiers stationed in Baishui Pass and Guancheng in Shuzhong had moved. Dingjun Mountain, Tiandang Mountain, etc. are used as barriers for Shuzhong to enter Hanzhong, and of course they can't go out of the way.

It's just that in this way, the main force of Jingzhou under the city of Nanjun suddenly decreased by nearly 20,000 people. Originally, Shangyong gathered 65,000 people, plus Wang Xu's 10,000 personal guards, plus the special troops of the major generals' headquarters, adding up to more than 80,000, but now there are only 60,000 left......

Nan Zheng, Taishou Mansion Chamber.

Zhang Lu jumped like thunder, his forehead was exposed, he completely lost his usual elegant demeanor, his suspicious eyes constantly swept over the Chinese martial arts in the hall, and shouted: "Who is it, who is it?" Who leaked my Hanzhong secrets? What's wrong with me? Wang Xu's actions made it impossible for the leaders outside the pass to pass the Yangping Pass, not to mention, even the ghost pawns I had high hopes for couldn't do anything? Ben also counted on a fierce battle with Wang Xu for a month or two, and when his soldiers were exhausted, ghosts from all over the country would attack his grain routes, and then Yuan Yue and other foreign leaders suddenly led troops to attack, Wang Xu was bound to be defeated by the enemy, but now he has made such a field. ”

There was silence in the conference hall, most people didn't know about this plan, and it was quite shocking to hear it for the first time, but now it doesn't work, and Wang Xu's actions have been cut off.

Of course, Yan Pu knew, and he was also puzzled at the moment, but it was unlikely that there was a traitor betrayed, after all, only a few people on his side knew. In addition, only the leader of the ghost pawn believers and the leader of the foreign clan, Yuan Yue, knew about it, and it was unlikely that these people would say it.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but hesitate: "Lord, I'm afraid this matter is a coincidence!" ”

"Coincidence?" Zhang Lu was furious, almost pointing at Yan Pu's nose and scolding: "Coincident, is there such a coincidence? You told me that Wang Xu did not concentrate his forces to quickly attack Nanzheng, but instead dispersed his troops and horses, is this a coincidence? It's a ridiculous ......" (to be continued......)
