This time, Cao Pi basically brought all his family background, and the elite of Wei was basically taken with him.

Now the tens of thousands of troops under the command of Cao Ren are not elite.

The Han Kingdom is shameless, and the weaving mat sellers are cunning and come to attack the Guanzhong of my Great Wei.

This time, I, Cao Pi, will definitely recover Chang'an and drive the Han army out of Guanzhong.

No.

It is not to drive out of Guanzhong, but to wipe out all the Han troops in Guanzhong.

"Urge the whole army to speed up the march and reach Tongguan within a month!"

The other side.

Zheng County.

The fog of war is lifting.

In the past few days, Zhang Liao has been able to collect more and more information.

More and more Han troops gathered towards Zheng County, and Zhang Zijing banners began to appear among them.

This shows that some of Zhang Fei's army is coming this way.

The Han army approached closely, and it was not what Zhang Liao was most worried about, but what Zhang Liao was most worried about was the direction of Tongguan.

He couldn't get in touch with Tongguan.

The logistics line that originally passed through Tongguan was also cut off by the Han army.

If you think about it optimistically, Tongguan is still there, and the Han army is just here to besiege Zheng County.

But if you think about it from the pessimistic side, maybe Tongguan has been broken by the Han army.

Zhang Liao didn't want to think about the pessimistic side, but

If it weren't for the fall of Tongguan, how could the head of Pei Wei, the Tongguan guard in front of him, be sent to Zheng County by the Han army?

"General Wenyuan, His Royal Highness admires the reputation of the general, in the Battle of Hefei, the general led 800 soldiers to attack the 100,000 army of Eastern Wu, and rushed to the command of Sun Quan's commander, causing the Wu army to collapse.

When the Eastern Wu army withdrew, the general led the pursuing troops, broke Sun Quan, Gan Ning, Ling Tong, etc., and almost captured Sun Quan alive. With the ability of a general, why not switch to my Han and continue to develop his ambitions? ”

Zhang Liao just looked at Pei Wei's head blankly, his eyes were motionless, and his expression was sluggish.

Seeing this situation, the envoy immediately continued: "The general has an old relationship with my Han general, Guan Yu Guan Yun, if he is willing to surrender this time, not only will he have countless lives, but he will also be able to occupy a high position in my Han Dynasty, why not do it?" ”

Fall?

How can I, Zhang Wenyuan, surrender?

He clenched his fists, his muscles burst out, and he shouted: "I, Zhang Liaosheng, am a person of Great Wei, and I am a ghost of Great Wei when I die!" I'd rather die than surrender! ”

"Now that Tongguan has been broken, my Han Heavenly Soldiers are far more advanced than the general, Zuo Fengyi has been taken by our Han army, Tongguan Pubanjin is also in the bag, the general is already a turtle in the urn, and now surrender, there are still tens of thousands of people under him to do the capital, if you are obsessed, there is only a dead end."

"Only death, what is there to fear?"

The envoy of the Han army smiled lightly and said: "The general is so righteous and awe-inspiring, but I don't know how many of the generals under your command are going to die with the general?" ”

"Messenger, please go back, my Great Wei reinforcements are coming soon, Zhang only needs to stick to Zheng County, attract your Han army, and wait for the reinforcements to arrive."

Seeing that Zhang Liao was so obsessed, the expression on the face of the Han army envoy became more and more difficult to see.

"The general is so obsessed, but he doesn't know that the grain and grass in the city are enough to support the Wei army to Zheng County?"

Zhang Liao snorted coldly and said: "The grain and grass in Zheng County will not be a problem to support it for a year or two, and the envoys will not be worried." ”

"Besides, my Great Wei elite soldiers are outside the pass, and I am in Zheng County, your Han Kingdom should be troubled, if you want to guard the Tong Pass, I am afraid that you have to worry about cutting off the grain road?"

He is now in Zheng County, and he is indeed under siege.

But

The Han army is also annoying!

Knowing that the Wei army was approaching, with Zhang Liao's tens of thousands of Wei troops in Zheng County, how could the Han army dare to gather its soldiers on the front line of Tongguan?

First of all, the logistics can't keep up, and I have to worry about Zhang Liao being chaotic from time to time.

Danger often comes with opportunity.

"If that's the case, then let's see the battlefield swordsmen!"

"Messenger, please."

The two armies are fighting without slashing, and in this regard, Zhang Liao still has a bottom line.

The envoys of the Han Kingdom, escorted by the officials of the General's Mansion, went all the way to the Chenglou of Zheng County.

"I heard that there is enough grain and grass in the city for a year or two?"

The envoy of the Han State suddenly asked the official of the Wei State beside him.

"That's right."

"Is your general really going to defend Zheng County? And unwilling to surrender? ”

"We all follow the general, and we have nothing to say."

The envoy of the Han Kingdom was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Is there no one in the army who is afraid?" ”

"They are all veterans who have followed the general for many years, so why are they afraid?"

The envoy carefully observed the expression of the servant, and then boarded the hanging basket and was sent down to the city by the Wei army.

When the subordinate officials of the General's Mansion returned to the mansion, they immediately saw Zhang Liao with a pensive face.

"Sure enough, as the general expected, the envoy of the Han army asked his subordinates many questions."

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "He won't believe my words, and he won't believe your words either, but if the military secretary in the middle of the city does it carefully, they can't help but believe it." ”

There is a military division in the city, and Zhang Liao naturally knows it.

In fact, the spies of the military division are like cockroaches, and no matter how you kill them, you can't kill them all.

But these inter-military divisions are meticulous, and sometimes they are not impossible to use for him.

For example, to deliver some news that he wanted to pass on to the Han army.

"In the past few days, I have been carrying the grain and grass in the city warehouse, and after moving out, I sent it back to the city warehouse from the tunnel, and so on several times, the military department will definitely inform Wei Yan of the news that the grain and grass in the city are sufficient, so that the judgment of the Han army will definitely be biased."

In fact, the grain and grass in Zheng County are only enough for the soldiers and civilians in the city to eat for one month.

There is no more.

Sticking to Zheng County is not a realistic thing.

Zheng County is not a strong city, this is one of them.

The lack of food and grass is even more deadly.

Other than that

Pinning hope on others is not Zhang Liao's personality.

It is better to rely on friendly forces than on your own.

This is the life creed that Zhang Liao has adhered to since he lived until now.

Tongguan is the world's Xiongguan, how can it be so easy to break through?

If time drags on, then he will not be defeated in Zheng County?

That's why.

He's going to break through!

Not towards Tongguan, but to the south to break through, enter Wuguan Road, and then wait for the opportunity to return to Guanzhong, or go to Luoyang.

He wants to take the initiative firmly in his own hands.

That night, he met with the general Hou Cheng.

Hou Wei was a general of Lu Bu, who was scolded by Lu Bu for offering wine and was not at ease, and when Cao Cao surrounded him, he tied Chen Gong and Gao Shun with Song Xian and Wei Xu, and led the crowd to surrender to Cao Cao.

After Zhang Liao surrendered to Cao Cao, he gradually became the backbone of this group of surrenderers, and Lu Bu's old generals mostly served under him.

"Hou Cheng, there is a wealth today, I don't know if you dare to take it?" Zhang Liao looked at Hou Cheng with a burning light.

"General, please." Hou Cheng looks older than Zhang Liao, but his body bones can finally be called tough.

"All our people are loyal and resolute, wise and strategic, bending and begging for difficulties, fighting the enemy's flag, and Jing'an in the sea, how light is the measure! Sincerity is the heart of the revelation, the plan is far-sighted, the judgment of evil and righteousness, the distinction between whether it is possible or not, the courage is not to die, the festival is not stubborn, the bend and stretch change, only the Tao exists, so it is the work of building hills and mountains, and enjoying the unprofitable.

Now there is a shortage of food in the city, Tongguan has fallen, I want to lead the elite in the city to break through the city, leave you 3,000 soldiers, and work with the people in the city to defend Zheng County, attract the Han army, and buy time for His Majesty to capture Tongguan, do you have the courage to do this? ”

The so-called wealth is sought in danger.

But this wealth is too hard to find, right?

gave Zhang Liao's answer, only Hou Cheng's silence.

There was silence for a long time. (End of chapter)
