Chapter 251: The Battle of Hanzhong
The time of ten days gradually came, and Zhao Yang also rushed to the Meridian Valley in advance, and now the entire army was waiting for the military order to go out.
Zhao Yang was dressed in military uniform, and accompanied by Xu Da, came to the Dianjiang platform.
Xu Da looked at the second general Hum Ha beside Zhao Yang, he asked Zhao Yang for Yuwen Chengdu, Zhao Yang looked at Yuwen Chengdu and asked what the other party meant.
Yuwen Chengdu also asked Zhao Yang for his life, he pointed out that Zhao Yang's combat power now does not need him to defend it closely, not to mention that Zhao Yang rarely goes to the battlefield at present.
Zhao Yang understood what he meant, and knew that he couldn't refuse others, and galloped the enthusiasm of the field.
He appointed Yuwen Chengdu on the spot as the pioneer of the army, and let him take a detour for the army in front.
Xu Da was very happy in his heart, with this peerless general, this trip to Hanzhong made him much easier.
Zhao Yang stood on the platform of the generals, and made an impassioned speech, which made the blood of the soldiers boil, and they were eager to rush to the battlefield immediately to fight the enemy.
With Xu Da's order, the army began to change formation, and under the leadership of Yuwen Chengdu, they embarked on the road to Sichuan.
Zhao Yang watched the army gradually move away, and he turned around and went back to Chang'an.
As soon as he walked into the governor's mansion, he told Geng Wu that he must insist and that the supply of baggage to the army could not be interrupted.
Zhao Yang also assigned Mao Xiang to investigate closely, but there could be no problems in this regard.
Geng Wu and Mao Xiang were ordered to leave immediately, they both knew the importance of this battle in Hanzhong, and they didn't dare to take it lightly.
Zhao Yang returned to the backyard and saw several children playing in the garden, Fan Juan holding the children and chatting with Fan Ying and others in the pavilion.
Zhao Yang came to their side and took Zhao Rui from Fan Juan's hand, and the other ladies saw Zhao Yang and did not have the previous restraints.
Fan Juan looked at Zhao Yang, teasing Zhao Rui there, and turned her head to give Cai Yan a look, and Cai Yan immediately turned red-faced.
"Husband, the concubine has something I have always wanted to tell you, but there is no good opportunity, today while everyone is here, I will simply mention it to my husband."
Fan Juan came to Zhao Yang's side, and her words made Zhao Yang very strange.
I don't know what the big deal is, let Fan Juan say it so solemnly, just signal her to say it directly.
Fan Juan glanced at Cai Yan, who was hiding behind Fan Ying, she smiled slightly and whispered in Zhao Yang's ear.
Zhao Yang was stunned directly, what kind of rhythm is this?
I haven't asked for his opinion yet, and this dowry was sent over directly?
Fan Juan saw that Zhao Yang was not angry, so she said what she had hidden for a long time, she knew that over the years, Cai Yong had always wanted to promote this matter.
Zhao Yang gently flicked Fan Juan's forehead and asked her to just look at it.
Just kidding, the dowry was sent, can I return?
If that's the case, you must be ready to be chased and killed by Cai Yong all over the street.
Fan Juan knew that Zhao Yang also liked Cai Yan very much, otherwise he wouldn't care if the dowry was given away.
Zhao Yang was in the state pastoral mansion, and Cai Yan was determined for life, but Xu Da's army was walking with difficulty in the barren mountains and mountains.
"Grandma, what the hell is this place, up and down, it's about to blind my old Qin."
Qin Ming used his mace to smash the surrounding thorns, and his mouth was still whining.
All the generals were amused by him, and their depressed mood was also soothed.
Zhao Hai walked behind him, constantly gagging with him, looking at the two people who were like living treasures, Xu Da did not stop them.
Looking at the towering trees around him, he felt a pain in his head.
This place is difficult and secret, and it is indeed a suitable and excellent place to sneak attack Chang'an or Hanzhong, I don't know how the lord knows.
He planned to wait for Hanzhong to be taken, and he would definitely suggest that the lord build strong fortifications on the cliffs at these two ends to hold this place.
Suddenly, the vanguard army that was opening the way in front gradually stopped.
Yuwen Chengdu sent his subordinates to report the situation to Xu Da, but he didn't expect to walk for so long and finally met a living person.
Xu Da ordered the army to rest in place, and he led the generals to the front army.
At this moment, Yuwen Chengdu was consulting, Xu Da didn't interrupt him, just looked at this Orion to see if it was a spy from other princes.
After Yuwen Chengdu asked clearly, he made a request to Orion, hoping that he could take him out of here.
Although Orion was a little frightened, he did not refuse this request, and walked in front very calmly, leading the army towards the southeast.
Of course, Xu Da was not at ease, so he quietly sent scouts to explore the surrounding situation along the way.
Yuwen Chengdu accompanied Orion, talking and laughing very freely, but he also saw everything Xu Da did.
It is worthy of the lord's appreciation, and with this degree of caution, he thinks that he can't be so comprehensive.
The army was in the ravine, shuttling for ten whole days, and finally appeared in the northern part of Xi County.
Xu Da was very grateful to Orion, the other party didn't care, he told Xu Da that for Zhao Bingzhou in Guanzhong, the people of Hanzhong had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Now that Zhao Jun is preparing to seize Hanzhong, he feels honored to be able to help the army.
The generals were in awe, and they all saluted Orion.
Xu Da asked the generals to rest immediately, and he asked Orion for advice, and Orion told Xu Da that the terrain of Xixian County was very special and not suitable for a large army.
However, the defenders had not encountered any fighting for a long time, and their armaments were very lax, so they could take advantage of the night to sneak attack the east gate.
Xu Da hurriedly asked about the situation at the east gate, and the other party also solved his doubts one by one.
Xu Da immediately took out two large sums of money and handed them to Orion, at first the other party refused to accept it, but Xu Da told him that this was a rule set by Zhao Bingzhou.
The other party put it away.
By the time the army had recovered, it was late at night.
At night in Xixian, everyone felt much colder than Chang'an, and Xu Da ordered the whole army to drink to keep out the cold, but not too much.
Half an hour later, Xu Da commanded the army to go around to the east gate, and there were no night guards in the city.
Xu Da immediately gave the order to attack.
Behind him, dozens of teams rushed out, carrying ladders and rushing to the city with vigorous steps, first listening quietly for a moment.
The defenders were not found, and the ladder was immediately erected, and the soldiers quickly climbed up.
Qin Ming personally led the army to climb the city wall, and looking at the empty city wall, he felt a little unreal.
It takes a lot of heart to do this.
He ordered the drawbridge to be lowered, and he led his soldiers down the city quickly, preparing to seize control of the city gate and enlarge the army into the city.
After Xu Da watched the army ascend the city, he led the army and slowly walked towards the city gate.
Suddenly, there was a slight clicking sound in front of him, Xu Da's eyes lit up, and he knew that it was the sound of the city gate opening.
Sure enough, the east gate of Xixian County was pushed open, and Qin Ming rushed out in blood.
He waved his hand at Xu Da diligently, and Xu Da immediately led the army to accelerate forward, and soon occupied the entire county seat.
