Chapter 666: Shengtao's Anger Swept the Rivers and Lakes (Third Update)
Cao Zi cried and let out a sigh of relief, fortunately, every month when he was sorting out intelligence, he would count the troops and forces in the rivers and lakes in various places.
"Back to my lord, among the four counties, remove the people who must stay and guard against the Western Regions, Longxi is an important town to guard against the Western Regions, so only 12,000 people can be dispatched, but they are all elite soldiers. Tianshui County is close to the inside, and the troops are sufficient, and 30,000 people can be transferred. Lintao is not an important town, and its troops are limited, so it can only draw out 15,000 people. Wujun has the most soldiers and horses, but it is also an important town to defend the Western Regions and Western Shu, and 23,000 people can be dispatched, which is also an elite soldier! The four counties have a total of 80,000 elite soldiers!"
Zhang Rang's brows furrowed slightly, "One hundred thousand, at least one hundred thousand soldiers and horses are needed!"
Cao Zi cried a little embarrassed.
I don't know what's wrong with this adult in my family, I retreated well, and suddenly I went out.
And as soon as it comes out, it will cost 100,000 elite soldiers!
Just these 80,000, in fact, half of them are not necessarily elites, just ordinary soldiers whose combat effectiveness is quite normal.
After all, where are the elite soldiers that are easy to drill and cultivate.
Suddenly, Cao Zi's crying eyes rolled, "My lord, and our people from the state." If you can transfer troops over, it will not be a problem to gather 100,000 elite soldiers. Besides, most of the Bingzhou troops are cavalry, and if you need it, you can also mobilize enough elite cavalry from Bingzhou!"
Only then did Zhang Rang realize that his territory was not only the four western counties, but also the merger states.
On the surface, the entire annexation is in the hands of the imperial court, but in fact, the entire annexation, whether it is the forces of the rivers and lakes or the army, is under its control.
"Okay, I wrote a letter to Prime Minister Cao Cheng in my tone, saying that in order to destroy Xishu, I Zhang Rang asked for 100,000 troops to attack Xishu. Mobilize 30,000 iron horsemen from Bingzhou!"
"Yes. ”
"Where's Kim Wuji?"
Fang Tiankuo immediately stood up, "The subordinates are here." ”
"From now on, cut off all business contacts with Xishu, all merchants from Xishu, kill, all people from Xishu, those whose identities are unknown, kill, all the warriors of the Xishu rivers and lakes, kill!"
Fang Tiankuo heard the three words of killing, although the person he killed was not himself, he was still trembling with fright.
"The subordinates obeyed. ”
"Where is the Blood God Division?"
Duan Jue immediately stood up, "The subordinates are here!"
"The Blood God Division has drawn masters from the four counties and is ready to go out with the army!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Rang slowly stood up, "From now on, the four western counties are fully prepared for war. Wait until Zhao Zhong brings people back, and then immediately set out for the battle!"
After Zhao Zhong got the news, he immediately reported the matter to Prime Minister Cao Cheng, saying that Zhang Rang had left the customs and let him return to Wujun to prepare for the attack on Western Shu.
Prime Minister Cao Cheng knew that Zhang Rang was reliable, so he didn't ask much, and asked Zhao Zhong to go back with the immortals of the Chaos Division, anyway, there are people from the Zhan Yun Division and the Dragon Protection Division led by Xiang Mingqiang, which is enough to deal with the situation here.
When Zhao Zhong rushed to Wujun with his people, he found that the entire Wujun was on strict alert.
He returned to Tianwu City with two hundred people from the Chaos Division, and after seeing Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang gathered all the people from the Chaos Division together.
Zhao Zhong went to support the Han army, and some of the people of the Chaos Division also died, and Zhao Zhong had selected some reserve members of the Chaos Division before, and now all of them are combined, a total of four hundred and eighty people.
And Zhang Rang said that he wanted to teach everyone the exercises, and let everyone sit cross-legged in the courtyard.
After that, I gave the cards to them.
When everyone gets the card, this card will not appear in their minds, but the information about the martial arts on this card will appear, and they will find that they have integrated this martial arts they have just learned at this moment.
In just one night, the four hundred and eighty people of the Chaos Division all got the cards that Zhang Rang had prepared before.
As for Zhao Zhong and Cao Jie, Zhang Rang gave them more nature.
Both of them broke through to the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Realm that night.
Zhang Rang believed that with the talents of these two people and the cards given by himself, even if he could not reach the grandmaster level if he did not break through, it would not be too bad.
The next day, the army set out.
In the four western counties, many people just know that they want to go out to fight Xishu.
But what the goal of this battle was, no one knew.
It can be said that there is only one person in the whole army who knows, and that is Zhang Rang.
At the same time, it was precisely because Zhang Rang had a quick time to assemble the army that the army had almost no preparations, and even did not run in, and began to set off.
Even before the 30,000 Bingzhou Iron Cavalry had arrived, Zhang Rang's 70,000 troops and 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Blood God Division began to storm the two passes and seven trails at the junction of Xishu and Wujun.
Zhang Rang's onslaught was different from the Han army's onslaught.
Zhang Rang's onslaught, at all costs.
After all, Wujun has been doing business secretly with Xishu all year round, although Shu Road is not easy to walk, there will still be some people in the rivers and lakes who come out with goods, and then bring back the goods that Xishu does not have.
So, seven trails have developed over the years.
For example, the entrance to Xishu where Zhang Rang broke through the Xiaowei Valley of the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Realm before was one of the trails.
All along, there were about 1,000 garrisons here, and there would be 30,000 troops behind, responsible for mobilizing and supporting the seven trails.
But on this day, all seven trails were breached.
The 70,000 army rushed to the 30,000 Shu army camp.
For a time, the three passes in the northeast direction of Xishu's key defense were safe and sound.
It turned out that something was wrong due north.
And as the seven trails were breached, the two passes were attacked from front to back, and the warriors of the Blood God Division attacked, and the two passes held out until the evening of the same day, and they were breached.
Zhang Rang sent a part of the soldiers and horses to guard the seven trails and two passes, and led the army to drive straight in.
For a while, everyone thought that Zhang Rang was going to attack Hanzhong.
The territory of Xishu, the north is like a "convex" word, and this convex head is Hanzhong.
Therefore, the Wujun side broke through the northern barrier of Xishu, and everyone felt that Zhang Rang would inevitably lead people to attack Hanzhong.
Even Hanzhong began to gather a large number of troops to the west.
But he never expected that Zhang Rang's army drove straight in, did not attack Hanzhong, and did not even look at it, continued to advance, and went straight to Guanghan County.
The soldiers and horses of Guanghan County, except for a part in the north, left a little of the most basic men and horses in various places, the rest of the soldiers and horses followed Prime Minister Zhuge to the east of Hanzhong and the north of Hezhong County to resist the 400,000 army of the Han Dynasty.
Now, Zhang Rang suddenly brought someone to kill, and instead of fighting Hanzhong, he came to fight Guanghan.
This made the people of Guanghan very confused.
Will there be a war in the end?
You don't even understand the basic operation of entering Shu and taking Hanzhong first.
It can be said that Zhang Rang will not, the problem is that the Han 400,000 army has not been able to enter Xishu for two months, but now Zhang Rang has been killed in one day.
And at this time, some of the Jianghu forces in Xishu finally made a move.
