Chapter 555: The Battle of Nanzheng

From Yang Song, Yang Bai and Ma Chaoli joined forces and began to attack Nanzheng, a whole day and night passed......

Southern Zhengcheng experienced Ma Chao's attack, Zhang Lu's escape, the Xiliang army entering the city, and the Chu army reinforcing ...... Several stages!

At present, most of the entire southern city wall has collapsed, and the horse running wall used to attack the enemy army entering the city in the urn city is not very complete, and ten miles away from the southwest, it is even more in a mess, as if two Kun have mated......

At the same time, the news of the battle of Nanzheng City also spread, and Hanzhong was self-contained in the topography, but because it was now the hope of the world, the news circulated quickly.

After fighting for a day and a night, the Chu army, which entered the last place, successfully had the last laugh, and the Xiliang army, which had just entered Nanzheng, was defeated and retreated under the guns of the Chu army and the civil strife in Nanzheng City, and finally had to withdraw from Nanzheng.

Sun Ce and Ma Chao's "God War" also ended in a draw - Ma Chao felt that he had won, but ...... There is no difference between life and death, and there is no impact on the situation of the battle, who dares to say that it has won?

Not to mention that there is no one to witness, Ma Chao himself did not promote anything......

After the Chu army entered the city, it immediately issued a list of appeasement of the people - appeasing the people's hearts after entering the city is also one of the process training of the Chu State, the steps are clear and clear, and the army above the brigade level is equipped with a special pacification department!

There is no shortage of military clerks or anything in the Chu State.

For Nan Zheng, it should be noted that after the withdrawal of the Xiliang army, Zhou Yu immediately began to take over the military power of the remnants of the Heavenly Master in the city.

The original impression of "the reinforcements recruited by the Heavenly Master" suddenly became "the allies of the Heavenly Master to protect the people after he fled", which made some of the Heavenly Master's remnants also flash to their waists.

However, compared with the Western Liang army, the Chu army was obviously more acceptable, first, the Chu State was indeed an ally of the Marquis of Hanning, and at this time it defeated the Western Liang army as an enemy and entered the city; Second, compared with the Western Liang Army, the methods of the Chu State are obviously much more "Huairou".

For these old departments of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, Zhou Yu did not completely "cross the river and tear down the bridge", but after entering the city, he took over the power and returned the power, and rewarded and praised all the soldiers who rose up to resist.

At the same time, focus on promoting "Han Ninghou's escape" and "the atrocities of the Xiliang Army", and this is not a rumor!

On the official side, Chu Jun never mentioned the Heavenly Master Dao, as if in the eyes of the Chu State, there were only "Han Ning Hou" and "Xiliang Army", and they didn't know the Heavenly Master Dao or anything.

Subtly, even with the fact that he did not recognize the teaching position of the Heavenly Master, he only recognized the official position of the Marquis of Han Ning!

In short, it is to create an image of himself heroically supporting his allies and protecting the people of Hanzhong, and he also commends the generals in Hanzhong who should be with him before......

And Yang Song, Yang Bai and other generals who defected to the enemy were quickly interrogated and beheaded by Zhou Yu - directly went to the military torture hall of the Privy Council, and did not even have to go through the criminal department.

And in the end, he was charged with "internal and external enemies" and "treason", and he did not clearly say which country he betrayed.

At the same time, when focusing on publicity, it shook out the accusations of this cadre and other ordinary people who are rampant in the township.

Therefore, if you stand from the perspective of "pure passers-by", the current situation in Nanzheng City is that there is civil strife in the Heavenly Master Dao, and a part of the fish and meat township in ordinary times colludes with murderous foreign enemies to slaughter innocent people in Hanzhong, while the other part of the high-level has also abandoned the people and fled.

At this time, the state of Chu, as an ally, sent troops to protect the people of Hanzhong and expel the murderous foreign enemies......

Even the remnants of the Heavenly Master Dao, most of them have accepted the rewards and commendations of the Chu army, at least ...... Accept them all on the surface!

After all, if you surrender to the Xiliang army, you will only be the general of the defeated army, and you will take refuge in the Chu State...... Not only is the "shade" greater, but because the state of Chu is an ally to rescue Hanzhong, it can be regarded as "refuge" rather than "surrender".

Although for the sake of stability, Zhou Yu almost abolished all the military powers of the former Heavenly Master's Mansion, but at the same time, he had also hinted that when the situation stabilized and he was willing to join the Chu State, the Privy Council would reappoint them.

In terms of governance, Zhou Yu also activated the "wartime state" of the Chu army's original process, and quickly took over the government affairs of Nanzheng, and did not mention the Heavenly Master Dao once on the surface, but in actual operation, the higher the status of the Heavenly Master Dao, the deeper the involvement, the more thoroughly idle the officials, on the contrary, some grassroots officials who are not deeply involved in the religion were quickly promoted.

As for how to tell?

The latent Wind Catcher and the Enlightenment Department are not decorations, and they have long passed on to Zhou Yu through hidden channels the information on the "personality" of Hanzhong officials collected on a daily basis.

Therefore, the backlash suffered by the Chu army in Nanzheng was much smaller than when it was entered by the Xiliang army - coupled with the decisive factor of "the Chu army is strong", there was soon no noise on the surface of the city in Nanzheng for the time being.

However, the Western Liang Army only withdrew from Nanzheng City, not from Hanzhong......

There are a total of nine counties in the whole Hanzhong, Nanzheng is the center of the western part of Hanzhong, and it is also the most densely populated area in Hanzhong, and the west of Nanzheng is Chuyang, just look at the name, in Chushui, that is, the north bank of Hanshui, adjacent to Yangpingguan, when Zhang Wei withdrew from Yangpingguan, Chuyang was equivalent to being abandoned.

In addition, there is Chenggu County in the east, Baozhong County in the north, and Anyang County in the distance......

As for the eastern part of Hanzhong, the most important ones are Xicheng County and Shangyong County, and the other is Tin County and Fangling County, which are close to the two respectively.

Among them, Xicheng is the Xicheng in "You have won three cities in a row, so you should not be greedy and take my Xicheng again", which is the place where Zhuge Liang sang the empty city plan in the "legend".

As for Shangyong and Fangling......

In history, when Guan Yu died in battle, Meng Da surrendered to Wei, and when Shu Han turned from prosperity to decline, Shangyong and Fangling also returned to Wei along with Meng Da, which shows that its topography and the central and western parts of Han are still somewhat blocked, and the population is also small.

The Western Liang army has now defeated Baozhong and Chenggu, which are not far from Nanzheng, and are attacking Xicheng and Anyang.

At this time, after Nanzheng gained a foothold, Zhou Yu's further goal was to continue to recover Chenggu and Baozhong, as for Shangyong and Xicheng, they were closer to Wudang, all of which were passed by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu before, and there would be sailors coming over in the future!

……

Just when Zhou Yu was combing Nanzheng, Zhang Lu finally crossed the Micang Mountain Road, returned to the Bazhong area with the remnants of the defeated soldiers, Bazhong is also a mountainous terrain and the population is not dense, Zhang Lu is preparing to dive along the Micang Mountain as the source, that is, the Jialing River in later generations, to Hanchang, the central county of Bazhong today.

What relieved Zhang Lu was that, as Yan Pu expected, the Xiliang people had no intention of pursuing, although the mountain road was rugged, there was no danger after all.

However, the next scene made Zhang Lu's heart cold......

"Report! Celestial Master, there is a team of men and horses in front of us, and they are coming towards us! Look at the flag...... It's not the army of the Heavenly Master's Mansion! The scout who went forward hurriedly reported to Zhang Lu.

"What? Not one of ours? Could it be Liu Zhang? Zhang Lu was dizzy.

Although thousands of people were brought out, they were sleepy and lacking at this time, and if it was really the Xichuan Army, it was likely to overturn!

"It's not very similar, look at the flag...... It seems to be Chu Jun, I don't know if there is fraud. The scout said apprehensively.

"Chu?" Zhang Lu was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know how to look forward to it.
