On the platform, Chen Xu said loudly: "Soldiers, after more than a year of recuperation and training, our army has 200,000 soldiers with armor, and there are countless military horses, grains, grasses, and equipment. ”

With the blessing of internal force, his voice spread throughout the army.

All the soldiers clenched their weapons tightly and looked very excited. They knew that the lord's ascension to the general stage meant that the war was about to begin, which meant that they could gain more wealth, fame, and status by making money for military exploits.

Chen Xu continued: "Now, I announce that our army will send troops to Yangpingguan and take Hanzhong in one fell swoop!" ”

All the soldiers shouted in unison:

"Take Hanzhong!"

"Take Hanzhong!!"

"Take the !! of Hanzhong"

The shouts were higher and higher, and the sound shook all over the world, resounding through the sky.

Chen Xu raised his hand and pressed down, and the shouting gradually stopped.

Boom.

The sword is unsheathed.

The generals listened to the order: ordered Li Jing to be the vanguard marshal, Ma Chao, Uesugi Kenshin, and Lu Lingqi to be the generals, and led 20,000 vanguard troops to attack Yangping Pass. Zhang Liao, Pang De, Qin Qiong, Ma Dai, and Gan Ning, followed with me with an army of 50,000 and captured Hanzhong in one fell swoop! ”

"Yes!"

"I'll listen to orders!"

Chen Xu slashed the sword in his hand, "All the soldiers! It is at this time to conquer the battlefield and make contributions. After this war, our Chang'an Army will be famous all over the world! I hope that everyone will be able to enforce the ban and be united. If someone dares to disobey the law and disobey the general's order, he will not be spared! ”

He looked up at the sky again, "The auspicious time has arrived, pass on my general order: Vanguard, pull out!" ”

Li Jing strode up to the general platform, raised the sword in his hand and shouted: "Obey the order of the lord and general, the vanguard army will be drawn!" ”

Knock knock.

The drums of war sounded.

Li Jing led a vanguard army of 20,000 and set off from Chang'an and went straight to Yangping Pass.

After the vanguard army left, Chen Xu continued to order: "All the soldiers are ready, my army will start in half a month and conquer Hanzhong in one fell swoop!" ”

"Yes!"

"Conquer Hanzhong!"

The news that the Chang'an army sent troops to attack Hanzhong soon spread all over the world.

Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu flipped through the urgent reports sent from the front line, and his heart was full of worry.

Here it is, the day has finally come. Ever since Chen Xu took the Xiliang region, he knew that the other party's next target must be Hanzhong. I just didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

One year, it was only one year before Chen Xu seized the Xiliang region. The other party is menacing this time, and with the strength of Hanzhong, it will be very difficult to resist.

Zhang Wei said: "Brother, we have been prepared for a long time. From Yangping Pass to Hanzhong, layers of defense lines began to be arranged as early as a year ago, and the Chang'an army wants to seize our Hanzhong, which is simply a fool's dream. ”

Zhang Lu is obviously not as optimistic as his younger brother Zhang Wei, "Alas, I hope so." ”

He saw that his generals and strategists were all looking at him, and he perked up a little, "Everyone, Hanzhong will face a very serious situation next, and I hope you can do your best to defend Hanzhong." ”

"Zhang Wei, Yang Bai."

"The subordinates are here."

"The two of you lead an army of 50,000 and go to Yangping Pass to guard. Remember, as long as you hold Yangping Pass, don't go into battle easily. ”

"Subordinates obey!" Zhang Wei and Yang Bai took the order.

Strategist Yang Song suggested: "My lord, Chen Xu personally raised troops to attack, and Chang'an and other places must be empty. Why don't we contact Cao Cao in Xuchang, and instead of forming an ally, ask him to send troops to attack Chen Xu's territory. ”

Zhang Lu hesitated: "Is this feasible?" I heard that Cao Cao and Chen Xu had long formed an alliance to resist Yuan Shao in Hebei. The reason why Cao Cao was able to resist Yuan Shao's attack was also thanks to Chen Xu's support for him with military supplies such as grain, grass, horses, etc. ”

Yang Song explained: "The lord only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. Cao Cao is the hero of the world, and he will form an alliance with Chen Xu as a last resort. Has the lord forgotten how Chen Xu got started? ”

Zhang Lu suddenly remembered that Chen Xu took advantage of the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to seize Chang'an, and then laid a huge foundation.

Jansson went on to explain; "My lord, Chen Xu took Chang'an, and Cao Cao must hate him to the core. There are even rumors that Chen Xu once went into Xiapi alone to rescue Lu Bu. In that battle, Cao Cao lost his beloved generals Xiahou Yuan and Dian Wei.

We dragged Chen Xu's army in Hanzhong, and then asked Cao Cao to send troops to attack Chang'an. Under the head-to-end attack, he will definitely be able to defeat Chen Xu. If the situation is favorable, the lord can take advantage of the situation to attack Xiliang and include the Xiliang area in his palm. ”

Zhang Lu perked up, and his face was much better than he looked just now.

"Yes, it's a very good ploy. Yang Bai, I will personally write a letter to Cao Cao, asking him to jointly attack Chen Xu, and I will leave it to you. ”

Yang Bai bowed down and said: "The subordinates must live up to the trust of the lord." ”

Zhang Lu's handwritten letter was quickly sent to Xuchang.

Cao Cao summoned his generals and advisers and sent Zhang Lu's handwritten letter to them in turn.

After everyone had seen it, Cao Cao asked, "Everyone, what do you think of Zhang Luxin's proposal?" ”

Xun Yu was the first to speak, "My subordinates are not optimistic about this proposal. Chen Xu has always been good at strategizing, and he is assisted by Chen Gong. Since he personally led his troops to attack Hanzhong, he must have been ready to be attacked by the rest of the forces. ”

Guo Jia coughed twice, "My subordinates also agree with Wen Ruo's opinion. What's more, if our army wants to attack Chang'an, it must first take Hangu Pass. As early as after Chen Xu captured Chang'an, he sent heavy troops to guard it, and it was not easy to capture and conquer Hangu Pass. ”

Cao Cao pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "There is news that the Hangu guards will be replaced by Hao Zhao and Wang Shuang, do you know the origin of these two?" ”

Xun Yu said: "Lord Qiqi, these two people took the initiative to go to Chang'an to seek refuge after Chen Xu issued an order to seek talents. According to reliable sources, Chen Xu once met the best of the people who admired him, Hao Zhao and Wang Shuang were among them. I don't know what they're capable of. ”

Cao Cao's fingers tapped on the desk, a little hesitant in his heart, he was a little moved by Zhang Lu's proposal.

Yuan Shao was beaten back to Hebei, and he should not attack again in a short time. If you can take this opportunity to recapture Hangu Pass, it will be equivalent to grasping the initiative to attack Chang'an.

As for attacking Chang'an and sharing Chen Xu's territory with him as mentioned in Zhang Lu's letter, Cao Cao didn't even think about it. As Xun Yu said, Chen Xu personally led the army to the expedition, how could he not be prepared at all?

For a moment, there was silence in the chamber.

After a long time, Xiahoudun finally couldn't help it, and said loudly: "Lord, Hao Zhao and Wang Shuang are just two nobodies. Please give me 10,000 elite soldiers, and I will definitely take Hangu Pass!" ”

Cao Cao raised his head suddenly, stared at Xiahoudun and asked, "Yuan Rang, do you really have the confidence to take Hangu Pass?" ”

Xiahoudun patted his chest and said, "My lord, my subordinates are willing to make a military order." ”

Cao Cao laughed, "Yuan Rang is worthy of being the general of our army." Victory or defeat is unpredictable, and the military order is forgotten. Since you have this confidence, then I will give you 10,000 elite soldiers to capture Hangu Pass! ”

Xiahoudun clenched his fists and responded: "Subordinates obey the order!" ”
