It was in the middle of this meeting that a scout came to the periphery of the carriage carrying a cloth bag. After seeing it, the head of the guard, Xu Chu, walked over, said a few words to the person who came, and after taking the cloth bag, he came to Zhang Chao's side and whispered: "Lord, the enemy general Wang Fang was beheaded by General Yan Liang." ”

"Oh, Wang Fang was killed, hehe, that's a good thing. In this way, General Yan was invited to come and drink in the carriage. When Zhang Chao heard that the enemy was going to be killed, he was naturally overjoyed, so he said with a smile.

"Lord, General Yan is injured and is now in the military medical department." Xu Chu replied in a low voice again.

The military medical department is equivalent to the current logistics hospital.

Over the years, as Zhangjia Medical College has continued to graduate students every year, many people have been arranged to units similar to the Military Medical Department to be responsible for the treatment of soldiers in wartime. With Zhang Chao's support, they were equipped with a lot of medicinal materials, which did play a role in reducing wartime casualties.

Of course, in those years, there were still too few doctors and healers, and even in Zhang Chao's army, only corps-level units would have a military medical department.

"Then go and see the meritorious general." Hearing that Yan Liang couldn't come, Zhang Chao got up and stood up.

Yan Liang rushed out at the risk of death this time and killed Wang Fang, which effectively played a role in deterring the enemy, so that no one dared to stop the front of the army, which was indeed a great achievement. Injuries should also be seen.

Xu Chu hurriedly took a group of iron guards and Zhang Jiajun to accompany him, and walked from the carriage towards the city.

Inside the Medic of the Sixth Legion.

The new corps commander Dian Wei and the legion Li Ru are both here. After learning that the deputy corps commander Yan Liang was injured, the two rushed over quickly. When I knew from the doctor's mouth that the injury was not very serious, I was relieved.

"Justice to the Lord." Xu Chu shouted out in a loud voice, and in the ears of Dian Wei and the others, they were accustomed to kneeling on the ground in fear. Even General Yan Liang, who had just finished bandaging his wounds, fell to his knees on the ground.

"All right, you are all meritorious people, get up." Zhang Chao, who was wearing a white cloak and white soft armor, appeared at the door of the military medical office, and when he saw Dian Wei and others kneeling on the ground, he smiled and stepped forward to help them up one by one.

Placing Dian Wei as the commander of the Sixth Army was also a decision made by Zhang Chao after thinking about it for a long time.

If you want to say that you are a general under you, you have the ability, and it is also appropriate to put it in the position of the commander of the corps. It's just that this person has a violent personality, and I'm afraid he won't be easily convinced. However, now he really has no suitable candidate in his hands to be the commander of the legion, so he decided to let Dian Wei experience it. Naturally, if someone is selected in the future, this person will still have to be transferred back to his side, and with the increasing power, Zhang Chao's personal safety has also become the top priority in the entire group.

Dian Wei and the others were helped up one by one, and when they helped the last Yan Liang, Zhang Chao asked with concern, "How is it?" The injury is not serious, do you need someone to send Mr. Hua Tuo over to show you. ”

"Lord Xie cares, but it's just a skin injury, and it will be fine after two days of rest." Yan Liang said with a touched face.

If before, as a general, he was worried that Zhang Chao would be prejudiced against them, but after Xu Rong's death, his thoughts disappeared completely. Even he is still rejoicing and proud to have a master like Zhang Chao. Because as a fierce general, only by following such people can they give full play to their abilities.

"Well, it's fine." Zhang Chao saw that Yan Liang refused, so he didn't force it. After all, where is there a war that is not injured, sometimes there is an extra scar on the body, and it is still the best military merit medal.

"Okay, now that it's okay, let's clean it up quickly, how many soldiers and horses have been lost in this battle, just choose from the captured Dong Zhuojun. We'll stay here for a maximum of three days, and then we'll continue west. Zhang Chao nodded to Dian Wei and the other three, and said with an order.

In this battle, more than 10,000 horses and horses of Dong Zhuo's army were killed, and 50,000 enemies were captured.

"No." Hearing that there was still a big war, Dian Wei was naturally excited. This time, because of Yan Liang's bitter pleading, and considering the other party's meritorious service, he did not personally lead the troops to attack the city. And if there is a battle next, as the commander of the legion, he will be in charge.

...... ......

Under the gloomy city, Liu Bei's soldiers saw the 20,000 defeated soldiers of Dong Zhuo's army led by Hu Zhen's army from afar, and quickly opened the city gate.

In the government office in the city, the military advisor Zhuge Liang was also surprised after receiving the news. He originally thought that with the reinforced Xinfeng City, plus 100,000 troops, how could he defend it for a few months, but he didn't think that he would be defeated in just two and a half hours.

While scolding Dong Zhuojun for his incompetence in his heart, Zhuge Liang also knew that the Yin City would not be guaranteed, after all, this city was still too small, and he could not fully deploy the army of 200,000 people. For this reason, he hurriedly ordered the army to start moving west, heading towards Chang'an City behind him.

Chang'an City is one of the ancient capitals, which was one of the capitals of many emperors of the Han Dynasty in the past, and defending there is obviously a hundred times better than the conditions of Yin Bancheng.

Liu Bei's army retreated shortly after Hu Zhen's arrival, and the news reached Zhang Chao's ears in Xinfeng City. He immediately gave an order, and more than 600,000 troops drove westward and headed straight for Chang'an City.

Only ten days later, the five legions came to the front of Chang'an City, and then, according to the order, the first, fourth, sixth, and seventh legions guarded the four gates outside Chang'an.

The art of war, the best way to siege a city is to encircle three queyi. It refers to a strategy implemented when there is no strength to completely annihilate the opponent, which can make the enemy feel that there is a way to survive and not be trapped in the beast, and there is too much resistance force, so as to quickly defeat the enemy army instead of completely annihilating it.

But this time, Zhang Chao did block the four city gates with a single move, looking at it like that, it was clear that he didn't want the other party to escape.

In Chang'an City, Zhuge Liang, who saw Zhang Chao from the bureau, naturally twisted his eyebrows together.

Just as Zhang Chao was very jealous of Zhuge Liang, he was also very jealous of this general.

Zhuge Liang had carefully studied Zhang Chao's family history, and then came to a conclusion that surprised him very much, that is, although this person was young, he seemed to have a very advanced vision when he was a teenager, and it was his own plan to do every step.

Otherwise, he would not have become one of the strongest princes in his thirties.

In the face of such an opponent, Zhuge Liang naturally did not dare to be careless.

"Strategist, Zhang Chao actually surrounded us, you said they wouldn't really want to eat us." In the hall of the mansion, General Zhang Xiu asked with some fear.

Zhang Xiu killed Xu Rong, for which he was proud for a while. But following the news he heard, he couldn't sit still. Zhang Chao even said in public more than once that he must die, and General Xu Rong's revenge must also be avenged.

To say, on the battlefield, it is normal for you to fight me, I to beat you, and even if you kill me, I will kill you. This can only be said to be inferior to others, who would show a flaw like Zhang Chao?

Of course, if these words were said by others, Zhang Xiu would not care too much. You want to kill me, and I want to kill you? In the end, it still depends on each other's abilities.

But when these words came out of Zhang Chao's mouth, it was very different. What kind of identity is this person, it is not an exaggeration to say that he may not be able to do what he says when dealing with Liu Bei, but he can still do it against him as a general.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Xiu has been a little bad at eating and sleeping well for a while. He was afraid that Zhang Chao would seize the opportunity if he was not careful, in that case, maybe his life would really be lost.

What kind of thoughts Zhang Xiu had in his heart, Zhuge Liang naturally guessed it a long time ago. In this regard, he really can't say anything, after all, in terms of strength, although Liu Bei is the emperor, he is indeed inferior to Zhang Chao.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang is not afraid, at least now he is in a state of alliance with another prince, Cao Cao, and he is not without the power to fight back in the face of Zhang Chao, and even once he is given the opportunity, he is afraid that the situation will be reversed.

Fighting a war is not necessarily won if anyone has more soldiers, but also depends on the time, location and people, and so on.

Hearing Zhang Xiu's nervous words, Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "It's okay, Zhang Chao shouldn't attack hard." Even if he attacks the city, we don't need to be afraid, with an army of 200,000 people, only 600,000 people, it is not so easy to attack the city. As I said, I have written to Cao Cao, and he has promised to send troops. ”

Zhuge Liang did write a letter to Cao Cao, and it was Zhang Chao who wrote the letter as soon as he came out of Jinyang City. It's just that Cao Cao's reply did not say that he would send troops immediately, but pushed it off on the grounds that he was attacking Eastern Wu and could not divide his troops. Fortunately, at the end of the letter, it was also written that as long as Zhang Chao's army fell into the battle of Yongzhou, as long as the opportunity was right, he would send troops to Sili and Jizhou to deal a blow.

Cao Cao, this is obvious that he doesn't see rabbits and eagles, if he doesn't have enough interests, he won't do it easily.

Zhuge Liang understands this approach, but he is not worried. Not to mention that Cao Cao's existence is a threat, so that Zhang Chao can't go all out to fight with himself, let's just say that in Yongzhou and Liangzhou, there are still Guan Yu's 300,000 troops and Dong Zhuo's 400,000 troops? With this, he also has enough advantages.

As long as the planning is good, not to mention that Zhang Chao will definitely be hit hard, at least he can do it lightly if he doesn't make any money.

As for whether Zhang Chao will really attack the city, Zhuge Liang also has a wait-and-see attitude. Originally, he had calculated in his heart, and in his opinion, this army from afar had multiple choices.
