The news of the birth in the Erchang Hall did not spread. And Yawu Liu cooperated with Yi Cang Ganliang "to choose to use the new law compiled by Zhang Xiu or the old Han law, and the news spread immediately, of course, there is the majesty of the Han Dynasty between the words." For example, the court has long allowed Yunyun. However, a discerning person can definitely see the problem at a glance.

As soon as the news came out, in addition to Zhang Xiu's rule, Cao Cao's rule also immediately changed the new law, Hebei and Jingyi did not change, Jiangdong Sun Jian immediately discussed, and finally decided to adopt part of the new law on the basis of the old Han law, and that part was naturally beneficial and harmless to the Jiangdong family.

At this time, Zhang Xiu, who was already in Nanzheng, Hanzhong, was a little surprised when he heard the news, but he also admired Cao Cao very much, and he was willing to let go of his son and get real benefits. The vision and bearing are definitely not comparable to ordinary people. Zhang embroidered to Hanzhong, so naturally there is no need to say much. In the first battle last year, Zhang Xiu's Hanzhong Corps suffered a lot of losses, and now the two large armies left in Ba County, Huang Zhong has more than 8,000 soldiers of the Hanzhong Corps to guard Hanchang, and Langzhong has a Pofeng battalion of less than 10,000 people, and Huang Zhong himself is also there. On the Xuanhan side, there were more soldiers stationed in the camp, 15,000 soldiers of the Broken Front Battalion plus 3,000 Blood Blade Battalion, and less than 10,000 soldiers of the Hanzhong Corps.

These forces are more than enough to defend, but if they want to attack, they are afraid that they will be insufficient. Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu had already planned the problem of insufficient troops, and in just three months from winter to the beginning of spring ploughing, Zhang Xiu finally saw what the so-called top-level training methods were. In these three months, the 100,000 soldiers captured by Zhang Xiu have been scraped, these soldiers have participated in the battle of Guandu, but they are veterans, and they have been trained by Gao Shun for three months. Morale came back immediately, and it was a few points better than before.

After all, these soldiers are veterans, and after they are reorganized, their combat strength is already comparable to that of the Hanzhong Corps, which has been training for several years but has not participated in the big war. However, because the number of people is too large, the combat power is still a little uneven, so Zhang Xiu selected 30,000 soldiers with strong combat power to come out, and entered Hanzhong from Xiegu Avenue during spring ploughing. These 100,000 troops were also named the Guanzhong Corps by Zhang Xiu.

30,000 troops entered Hanzhong, and the remaining 70,000 troops continued to stay in Chang'an for training. After Zhang Xiu entered Hanzhong, he immediately asked Xu Rong to prepare, he would bring another 20,000 veterans of the Hanzhong Corps into Ba County, leaving only 30,000 recruits and 10,000 veterans to guard Hanzhong, which is enough in terms of defense alone.

In Hanzhong, Zhang Xiu, Li Ru and Xu Rong were among them.

On the main seat, Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "Wen Wei, this time I will bring 50,000 troops into Sichuan, grain and grass are the key, and you need to take care of it here." ”

Li Ru nodded and said, "Please rest assured." However, the 50,000 army has entered the benefit, and the total strength of the army in Yizhou has not been less than 100,000, so the supply of food and grass for such a large army is only afraid."

Before Li Ru finished speaking, Zhang Xiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Worry and rest assured, Deheng has built a new grain truck according to the problem of narrow roads in Yizhou. This grain cart is a one-wheeler, and a single person pushes it by hand in the back, which is more flexible than the previous grain cart and suitable for walking the plank road, and the grain transportation degree is faster. Although its transportation volume is only 30% of the previous grain trucks, the grain trucks in the past need many people to work together to pull. Yuan Chang and Deheng calculated that replacing the new grain cart could provide more than 30,000 soldiers with grain and grass

Xu Rong heard it and praised: "Mr. Deheng is really powerful, Bu Xiao can solve the problem of difficulty in transporting grain into Yizhou with a grain truck."

Zhang Xiu smiled: "In fact, it is only a little more convenient, and it is still very difficult to transport grain into Yizhou." Therefore, he was prepared to take Badong this time. Although this place is mountainous, the land is fertile, and the rain is sufficient, as long as the terraced fields are cultivated, the problem of grain and grass for our army to fight in Yizhou can be solved, after all, it has relied on transporting grain from Hanzhong for a long time, and the grain consumption is also serious.

Li Ru nodded slightly, but said worriedly: "Badong is an area with many Han people in Yizhou, there are many families here, and most of the cities are built on the mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I'm afraid it's not so easy for the lord to take Padang. ”

Zhang Xiu sighed and said: "This can't be done, I can only take it step by step, I hope that this time I can directly attack Yufu, so that Ben Jiang can firmly control Badong in his hands." ”

Li Ru nodded and said: "This time, the Yizhou family will definitely work together to resist, plus the Yizhou road is difficult, and the lord is not too familiar with the road, don't be careless, and be taken advantage of by the enemy." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "Wen Wu, you and the others have also increased their troops on the front line of Sword Pavilion and Jiameng Pass, and given Hansheng support to Langzhong, if Hansheng can capture Cuihuang, the situation of our army will be advantageous." ”

Xu Rong nodded and said helplessly: "The road in Yizhou is difficult, Rong will do his best."

In March of the eighth year of Jian'an, Zhang Xiu led an army of 50,000 into Ba County, of which 30,000 troops were in Xuanhan and 20,000 troops rushed to Langzhong. This kicked off Zhang Xiu's second attack on Yizhou.

It took Zhang Xiu more than three months to lead an army of 50,000 from Chang'an into Ba County, and this was already extremely fast, Zhang Xiu led this army to march almost every day, if other troops were afraid that they would not be able to enter for half a year.

However, because it was spring ploughing at this time, unlike Zhang Xiu, there were not many people under the rule of the princes in various places. Most of them needed soldiers to help with spring ploughing, so Yizhou did not attack.

But with the end of spring ploughing, the war began again. Zhang Xiu is now on the offensive, so he naturally strikes first, leaving Tai Shici and 20,000 soldiers of the Chang'an Corps to guard Xuanhan. Zhang Xiu led Gan Ning, who was familiar with the terrain, and Fa Zheng, the military division of the army, and the rest of the army, totaling about 50,000 troops, to attack Badong. Huang Zhong also led 10,000 Pofeng battalions and 10,000 Hanzhong Corps to take Guan Hai and Cheng Gongying, the army division, to attack the camphor slag, and Xu Rong of Hanzhong received the news and immediately increased his troops on the front line of Jiange and Jiameng Pass to contain part of Zhang Ren's troops. The Battle of Yizhou was in full swing.

And at the same time as Zhang Xiu's army attacked Padang and Zhanghuang. Yuan Shao, who was defeated in Guandu last year, was also ready to move, gathering the four-way army of Qingzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou and Yizhou, with a total strength of more than 250,000. Yuan Shao's army marched south to attack Chenliu. Take Xuchang again. After Cao Cao received the news, he immediately made a decision. The 100,000 army left Xuchang to meet Yuan Shao, and there was another collision between the two heroes. This time it was still Yuan Shao who had the advantage, but the gap between the two sides was not as big as imagined. Cao Cao's subordinates, as well as the family and the common people, all had hope for Cao Cao this time, but were not optimistic about Yuan Shao.

Except for the four princes who are ready to use their swords, the rest of the princes are all safe. However, the Hu people in the north were also as Jia Xu expected, and the war between the western Xianbei and the central Xianbei was launched for food. The Southern Xiongnu were not spared to participate in the Great War, Hua Tuigu led the troops north to the Great Wall, and set up defenses according to the Great Wall to prevent Hu Yuanluo in the north, causing losses to Liangzhou, and it must be known that Liangzhou now has an important trade route.

The two sides that had been fighting throughout March were on the march and did not fight, and as soon as April began, the flames of war were ignited.

First, Zhang Xiu's army invaded Badong, and the army took Hanfeng lightly and then fell into Linjiang City. This riverside city is on the edge of the Yangtze River, and it does not belong to the small city of Padang, but it is a city that must pass through the Yangtze River waterway from Jiangzhou to Yufu. If Yan Yan's army wanted to take the waterway from Jiangzhou to Badong, they had to pass through Linjiang City, and Zhang Xiu took Linjiang City. Yan Yan set up a pass on the waterway to rescue Patong.

In Linjiang City, Zhang Xiu and Fa Zheng, Gan Ning, Hu Che'er, and Wang Shuang were toasting to each other, and they were trapped in two cities in a row.

After three rounds of drinking, he didn't expect that a soldier would report loudly outside: "Report to the general." Urgent military intelligence. ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, Jiu immediately woke up a lot, and called, "Come in." ”

A dusty junior colonel knelt down in front of the county office. Said loudly: "Report to the general, the scout found out the news, Yan Yan, who was stationed in Jiangzhou, led an army of 30,000 out of Jiangzhou and looked north. Look at one of the targets of Xuanhan or Hanchang. ”

Zhang Xiu waved the junior colonel back, and said suspiciously: "Yan Yan knew that our army was attacking Badong, so he didn't come to the rescue and besieged Wei to save Zhao's strategy, and went to the rear?" Xiaozhi thought that the general should continue to attack Badong or destroy Yan Yan first. These 30,000 troops are neither too much nor too little. Xuanhan Youziyi should be unharmed, but Hanchang is less than 10,000 people, and Yan Yan has a prominent reputation in Shu. There was no general stationed in Hanchang, but the general was a little worried that his prestige would plot against the people in Hanchang City. ”

Fa Zheng heard it and said with a smile: "Why should the lord worry, the army of Hansheng is not far from Hanchang, and he only needs to send Cheng Gongying or Guan Hai back to Hanchang, and there are thousands of people who will defend it." Yan Yan naturally couldn't attack, and if he swung his army to the north, he would only end up with a loss of troops. And the lord took advantage of this opportunity to attack Yufu, and when the time came, Yan Yan's troops would return to attack Jiangzhou, and then the lord would be able to hold Ba County. ”

Gan Ning also nodded when he heard this: "The Dharma sacrifice wine is reasonable, and the top priority is to Dingbadong." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Okay." In this case, Ziquan and 5,000 soldiers stayed behind to guard Linjiang. Xingba, you immediately collect the boats, and lead 5,000 soldiers who are familiar with the nature of the water down the river to get the fish Fu. The general led the rest of the soldiers by land. ”

Fa Zheng and Gan Ning heard it and praised loudly: "The lord is wise. ”

Outside the city, the sky is overcast, and the sky in Yizhou is mainly cloudy all year round. However, the soldiers of Yufu City felt that today's cloudy day was particularly gloomy.

Zhang Xiu's army was arranged in a neat camp in black. The 10,000 soldiers of the Chang'an Corps were at the forefront with weapons in their hands, and the eyes of these original defeated soldiers of Guandu were no longer at a loss and at a loss when they were defeated, but instead they had a confident look, looking at the towering city wall, a trace of frenzy flashed in their eyes. That's right, it's fanaticism! It stands to reason that the morale of these small troops who have left their homes and wells will not be high even if they are well trained, because they are not willing to fight. But now their morale is even stronger than that of the 5,000 Hanzhong Corps soldiers behind them.

Without him, because of Zhang Xiu's promise, as long as three years, they can choose to leave the army after three years of joining the army. After that, you can leave Zhang Xiu's rule and return to Hebei, or you can find a way to bring your family over. And Zhang Xiu also said that this must be fought well, and you can leave early, and of course, there are a lot of rewards that are more than when you were under Yuan Shao. This gave hope to the soldiers, and people live to hope, and as long as there is hope, they are willing to fight hard. Therefore, the morale of the Chang'an Corps was extremely strong.

In addition to these two ordinary corps, the 15,000 Broken Blade Battalion followed, while the 3,000 Bloody Blade Battalion escorted the Chinese army.

On the city, the guard general Wu Yi looked at Zhang Xiu's army under the city and frowned, he has been in the army for more than ten years, and he has never seen such an elite army, even if it is an army trained by Zhang Ren himself, the elite degree is not as good as the troops of Zhang Xiu's army. And there are only more than 8,000 defenders in Yufu City, and the elite of these defenders is not as good as those soldiers in the front row, Wu Yi's heart is full of worry.

In the Chinese army, Zhang Xiu smiled and said to Fa Zheng: "Filial piety." This mountainous Yizhou also has the advantage of a large amount of timber available, and the army can use local materials to build ladders at any time. ”

Fa Zheng smiled slightly and said: "What the lord said is very true, and the main defense of Yufu City is the direction from Jingzhou to Shu in the east, and the west city wall is not the same as the east city wall. ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he laughed and said, "Drumming!" Trumpet! ”

"Knock Knock"

"Woooooooo

With Zhang Xiu's order, the agitated war drums and the desolate horn sounded. The drummer swung the drumstick with all his might, striking it on the drum surface, and each powerful drum beat vibrated into the hearts of all the soldiers, making the blood flow in the bodies of these soldiers.

The desolate horn sounded, and the defenders on Yufu City seemed to be in the desert, which was the unique horn sound of Xiliang. Wu Yi's face changed slightly, and the Yizhou soldier next to him became restrained when he heard the horn, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Because the Qianghu and other tribes on the side of Longxi often entered Yizhou to loot in the past, this situation has lasted for hundreds of years, so that the people of Yizhou are instinctively afraid of these Qianghu and other tribes. After Zhang Xiu knew this, he deliberately used the horn unique to Liangzhou to reduce the morale of the enemy, and it was obvious that this trick worked very well.

The sound of drums and trumpets continued, and Hu Che'er stood in the middle of the front army with a mace. It had been too long since there had been a big war, so that the blood in Hu Che'er's body had almost cooled. But under the sound of drums and horns, the blood that had been silent for a long time was awakened again, and the belligerent factor continued to burst out, impacting Hu Che'er's mind.

The blood is surging. Hu Che'er raised his head to the sky and let out a roar like a beast!

"Roar"

The situation of the whole army was firmly in Zhang Xiu's heart, and with Hu Che'er's roar in the sky, the soldiers of the former army commander An Corps and the Hanzhong Corps shouted in unison.

"Ho-ho-te"

"Qiang Qiang Qiang"

The shouts of killing erupted, and the weapons kept fighting. The murderous aura condensed in the somewhat dim sky.

Zhang Xiu's eyes shrank. The tiger-headed golden gun pointed at the head of the city and shouted: "Kill!" If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the chapter for more, support the author, and support genuine reading!
