At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

"It's true!"

Jia Long answered Zhang Lu's question with certainty. He has confirmed this matter repeatedly!

"Does Eunuch Zhang know about Dong Zhuo moving his capital to Chang'an?"

"do not know."

Seeing that Jia Long mentioned the matter of moving the capital to Chang'an again, Zhang Lu was even more puzzled.

The incident in Guanghan County was enough to give Zhang Lu a headache, how could he care about Dong Zhuo's mess!

"Dong Zhuo has burned Luoyang to avoid the Kwantung Allied Forces! With His Majesty and all the civil and military officials, Luoyang's millions of people migrated to Chang'an in Guanzhong."

"What does this have to do with Liu Zhang?"

Zhang Lu was about to die from Jia Long's anxiety, and he couldn't make a point after talking for a long time.

"Don't worry, Prefect Zhang, listen to me! After Dong Zhuo moved his capital, he can already use the complex geographical environment in Guanzhong to effectively contain the coalition's offensive. Dong Zhuo, the prince of the Guandong, blocked it, but what about the princes of the Guanxi!"

"The princes of Kansai? Han Sui, Ma Teng?"

"That's right!"

Jia Long nodded heavily, his expression even more excited.

"A few months ago, Dong Zhuo relied on Liu Zhang to win a big victory against the Allied Forces in Hulao. After this westward march to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo has nothing to do with Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou. According to the latest news, Liu Zhang has returned to Hanzhong , ready to bring the people of Hanzhong north to help Dong Zhuo!"

"It's no wonder that Zitong has frequently sent soldiers and horses to Hanzhong recently. It turns out that there is a war in the northwest, and Liu Zhang can no longer just sit around in Zitong!"

Only then did Zhang Lu suddenly realize that when he heard his subordinates report that Zitong's troops were frequently mobilized, he thought it was Liu Zhang's plan, but now it seems that there is a real war going on!

Before Zhang Lu finished digesting the good news, Jia Long brought him other news.

"That's not all. I heard that Liu Zhang sent a partial army to enter the Guanghan vassal state. The result was very, very difficult. Except for Yinping, where Lei's family is located, the other two counties are still resisting!"

"Liu Zhang's strength is not strong, but his appetite is not small. I heard that Mi Cangdao has frequently mobilized troops and horses recently. It seems that he intends to go south to attack Bazhong!"

The more Zhang Lu heard it, the more surprised he became. If he hadn't seen Jia Long's swearing, Zhang Lu would never have believed it!

"This Liu Zhang is crazy, thinking of fighting on three fronts!"

"Yeah, Liu Zhang is crazy. I think he is not only crazy, but also delirious!"

Jia Long had already foreseen Liu Zhang's failure at this time, and he still marched in three ways despite the small number of troops. If there is no big defeat, it will be evil!

"Prefect Zhang, today is the one-month period we agreed upon. Zhao Wei is here to bid farewell to you."

Zhang Lu wanted to find a reason to refuse Zhao Wei to leave, but he opened his mouth for a long time and didn't say a word!

"Prefect Zhang, if Bazhong is lost, Jiangzhou will not be protected. I must go back. Please don't make things difficult for me."

Zhao Wei already gave Zhang Lu a lot of face. He received the news that Liu Zhang was going to invade Bazhong three days ago, and he just endured it until today!

Zhang Lu didn't make things difficult for Zhao Wei any more, and just nodded in agreement.

"Since that's the case, Mr. Zhang won't keep Zhao Taishou, and hope that Zhao Taishou can defeat Liu Zhang in Bajun!"

"Thank you! Take care everyone, Zhao Wei is leaving!"

"Prefect Zhao, take care!"

Zhao Wei didn't hesitate. After bowing his hands and saluting to everyone, he quickly left the hall.

Zhang Lu breathed out lightly, and seeing Zhao Wei's expression, he knew that Berkshire's situation was not that good!

"Jia Taishou, Ren Taishou, Liu Zhang is not in Zitong at the moment, please send troops together to attack Zitong with me, and drive Liu Zhang out of Guanghan County!"

What Zhang Lu didn't expect was that when he proposed to attack Zitong, Jia Long and Ren Qi immediately put away their smiles.

"Prefect Zhang, Zitong occupies a dangerous position, and it is absolutely impossible to take it with only 20,000 troops from Fu County! It is better to stick to Fu County!"

Zhang Lu was at a loss for words after hearing this, what Ren Qi said was very reasonable, maybe the 20,000 army really couldn't take Zitong down.

"Zhang Wei, come in!"

A figure quickly flashed in outside the door, it was Zhang Wei who was called by Zhang Lu.

"Brother, are you calling me?"

"Zitong, have you stayed here before? If there are 5,000 defenders in the city, can the 20,000 of us be able to attack?"

The situation of Zitong's city defense flashed through Zhang Wei's mind in an instant, and after careful consideration, he nodded slightly.

"Brother, Zitong actually only has two city gates, the north and the south. The east and west gates are close to the mountain, so it is not easy to attack. In other words, we only need to attack the south gate!"

"When I left Zitong, I took a special look at it. There is only a small urn city at the south gate. If 20,000 troops attack day and night, Zitong will definitely be broken!"

With Zhang Wei's words, Zhang Lu regained his energy in an instant.

"Prefect Jia, Prefect Ren, you have heard what my second brother said, what do you think? Will you follow me to expel Liu Zhang?"

Jia Long and Ren Qi looked at each other at the same time, and saw a look of rejection at the same time.

"Mr. Zhang, why don't we leave the soldiers and horses to you as we said before, and the two of us will go back separately, and then gather some soldiers and horses to deal with emergencies, how about it?"

Zhang Lu was very calm, and seemed to have guessed what Jia Long and Ren Qi said.

"Forget it, Zhang won't be too difficult for others! But I still thank you two for leaving the soldiers and horses to Zhang Lu!"

When Jia Long and Ren Qi heard that Zhang Lu was willing to let them go, smiles immediately covered their faces.

"Haha, I'm here to wish Prefect Zhang a smooth capture of Zitong and drive Liu Zhang out of Guanghan!"

"Thank you! Thank you!"

The three of Zhang Lu smiled at each other, but the three of them had their own thoughts!

Jia Long and Ren Qi wanted to return to Shu County and Qianwei County as soon as possible so that they could exercise their rights!

Zhang Lu didn't intend to keep the two of them, and his mind was still on the two of them.

Maybe Jia Long and Ren Qi staying here will be even more detrimental to the command!

Just like last time, it was obviously just a rout, and finally developed into a situation of cannibalism!

In the final analysis, it is because there is no unified command.

It is a taboo for the coalition forces to fight on their own! In fact, all members of the coalition understand this truth, but who wants to let others command their own troops?

Jia Long and Ren Qi were sent away, leaving only Zhang Lu brothers and more than 21,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Fu County.

Still the same problem, the soldiers must recognize a unified commander, so as to facilitate the battle.

And Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei is undoubtedly the only one in Fu County who is qualified to be the commander!

"Zhang Wei, how many days will it take you to integrate the soldiers and horses of Fu County?"

Zhang Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about this question in his mind.

"Liu Zhang has already left Guanghan, Zitong will be in our pocket sooner or later, so I don't care about waiting two more days."

In order to reduce Zhang Wei's pressure, Zhang Lu took the initiative to relax the time, in order to win with one blow.

"Brother, give me four days! Four days later, we will attack Zitong! This time, Zitong will definitely be captured!"

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Wei finally gave a time, a time he was very sure of.

"Okay! Four days is four days, don't let big brother down!"
