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

When Liu Zhang personally led the army to Fujie County, he realized why it took so long for Tai Shici to divide the counties.

It's just too far away.

Wuyang County is nearly 600 miles away from Fujie County!

This is not counting Nanguang County, which is farther away!

Liu Zhang's army is all infantry, and it still took half a month to reach Fujie County without carrying siege equipment!

The time has also come to October, the weather is getting colder, and Liu Zhang's heart is also a little anxious.

The time is really too fast, and it will be winter in a blink of an eye!

Once the weather is cold, Liu Zhang's offensive will be greatly frustrated, and he may have to retreat and wait until the next spring to attack again.

If such a toss is made, not to mention a serious blow to morale, the waste of manpower and material resources will be too great.

Although Liu Zhang has just acquired two counties and his strength has increased significantly, he absolutely does not allow such a waste of limited resources.

But there is no unparalleled road, and a piece of good news fell from the sky!

The demise of Jia Long and Ren Qi had already terrified Zhao Wei, and Liu Zhang's three-way march completely terrified Zhao Wei.

Half a month ago, Zhao Wei had given up all the cities and gathered all his troops, food, and supplies in Jiangzhou, ready to rely on Jiancheng to fight Liu Zhang for life and death!

After receiving the news, Liu Zhang made a decisive decision, without caring about resting and recuperating the soldiers, he directly ordered all the soldiers and horses under his command, and rushed to Jiangzhou.

Encountered no obstacles along the way, Liu Zhang led his army directly to the city of Jiangzhou, and Xun You and Zheng Du had already set up camps under the city of Jiangzhou, waiting for Liu Zhang's arrival.

"Meet the lord!"

Liu Zhang stepped forward quickly, and directly supported the two of them one by one.

"Gongda, unknown, I didn't expect the two of you to move so quickly!"

Liu Zhang didn't expect Xun You and Zheng Du to be so fast, and they reached Jiangzhou one step ahead of themselves.

"Your Majesty's clever calculations, he conquered the two counties one after another! I really admire you!"

"Congratulations, my lord!"

Xun You and Zheng Du had already heard about Liu Zhang's plan to annihilate Jia Long and Ren Qi, and they admired Liu Zhang's outsmarting the two counties.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay!"

The design of Jia Long and Ren Qi this time was entirely done by Liu Zhang alone, and now he feels that he can also deserve the praise of the two military advisers.

Several people behind Xun You and Zheng Du came forward and bowed their hands to Liu Zhang together.

"I'm waiting to meet the lord!"

Liu Zhang looked around and saw Zhang Liao, Zhang Ren, and Wu Yi.

"Free gift, good job!"

The three of Zhang Liao were recognized by Liu Zhang, with smiles on their faces.

"Where are Xu Huang and Wu Lan?"

Langzhong still has Wu Lan leading 5,000 people, and Bazhong also has Xu Huang and his 10,000 Hanxing camp under his command.

Not seeing the two of them at this time, Liu Zhang couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

"Please also tell the story in the lord's account."

"it is good!"

It is not appropriate for these tens of thousands of people to stand at the gate of the camp. Zhao Yun and others will arrange soldiers to enter the camp, and Xun You will lead Liu Zhang into the camp of the Chinese army.

"My lord, I arranged for Xu Huang to lead the Hanxing Camp to Zhi County."

Liu Zhang looked at the map beside him and found the location of Zhi County.

Zhi County is the dividing line in the eastern part of Berkshire. If you want to enter Jingzhou along the Yangtze River, Zhi County is the only way.

"Gongda, have you sent Xu Huang to conquer the counties of Badong?"

"no."

"That is to let Xu Huang go to Zhi County, what's the purpose?"

There are also five counties in the Badong area, especially the Dongdamen Yufu in Sichuan and Shu, which is the Baidi City where Liu Beituogu lived in history.

Yufu is the east gate of Bashu, controlling the waterway of the Yangtze River, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and occupying Yufu first can effectively contain all enemy troops in Jingzhou.

Liu Zhang originally thought that Xun You was worried that Liu Biao of Jingzhou had ideas about the land of Berkshire, so he let Xu Huang occupy the dangerous place first.

"My lord, Zhao Wei is not the only one in Berkshire."

As soon as Liu Zhang slapped his forehead, he immediately understood.

There were three factions in Berkshire, the Zhao family, the Huang family, and the Yan family!

Before the three families fought, they still fought in Berkshire, but later, for unknown reasons, the fighting stopped in Berkshire.

Later, Huang Yin was bought by Zhao Wei and almost killed Liu Zhang in Langzhong!

"Could it be that the Yan family is stationed in Zhi County?"

Xun You nodded, admiration flashed in his eyes.

"My lord is really smart. The Yan family is stationed in Zhi County and has 10,000 soldiers."

Hearing Xun You's report, Liu Zhang was relieved instead.

It seems that the strength of the Yan family is not as good as that of the Huang family in Langzhong. At that time, Huang Yin assembled an army of 20,000 to deal with Liu Zhang.

"What does the Yan family mean? Are they going to fight us with Zhao Wei?"

"If we attack by force, Xu Huang won't be able to take Zhixian alone, right?"

Liu Zhang was a little impatient, and asked two questions in succession.

"My lord, don't worry. The Patriarch of the Yan family has just passed away. They have no intention of fighting our army right now. The new Patriarch Yan Yan has already sent someone to notify Xu Huang. As long as Zhao Wei is executed, Yan Yan will surrender the city."

"Yan Yan? The head of the Yan family?"

Liu Zhang was a little shocked, he didn't expect Yan Yan's status to be so high!

Xun You was a little puzzled by Liu Zhang's tone,

"My lord, Yan Yan is almost forty years old, and he is the eldest son of the Yan family, so there is nothing wrong with succeeding the head of the family."

"Well...it's okay, just let Xu Huang keep an eye on Zhi County, and don't easily conflict with the Yan family in Zhi County."

"My lord, don't worry, I have already explained to Xu Huang."

In the eyes of most people, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan are the most impressive generals in Yizhou, and the same is true for Liu Zhang!

Yan Yan is good at martial arts, loyal and loyal, even a reckless man like Zhang Fei respects him as a man, he must be a rare general.

There are not many talented people in Yizhou, Liu Zhang must seize every talent.

Right now Zhao Wei is like a grasshopper after autumn, jumping around for a few days, as long as there are no accidents, the day when Yan Yan will descend from the city will not be far away.

"Gongda, you have stayed in Jiangzhou for a few days, do you have any strategies to defeat the enemy?"

Hearing Liu Zhang's question about how to defeat the enemy, both Xun You and Zheng Du frowned.

The two of them have been thinking hard for the past few days, but they have no clue.

"Forgive me, my lord. The city of Jiangzhou is huge, and the water of the Yangtze River is used as a moat. If you want to attack by force, the casualties will definitely be heavy!"

"Zhao Wei declared that he had assembled an army of 20,000 and a million stones of grain and grass, and he even said that even if the last soldier dies, he will never give up resistance."

Liu Zhang exhaled heavily, and anger rose in his heart.

This Zhao Wei is really hateful, he was originally promoted by Liu Yan, but he sat back and watched Zhang Lu's rebellion.

Now that Liu Zhang has eliminated Zhang Lu, Jia Long, and Ren Qi one after another, this Zhao Wei not only has no intention of begging for mercy, but instead resists even more tenaciously!

"It seems that there is only one way to attack..."

If Zhao Wei can't shrink back, Liu Zhang can only reluctantly attack, no matter how many people die, Zhao Wei must win.

"My lord, the attack damage is probably not a small number!"

Zheng Du reminded Liu Zhang in time that he had carefully studied Jiangzhou's city defenses and predicted the outcome of the storm.

Even if Jiangzhou is forcibly captured, the casualties caused may be unbearable!

Liu Zhang didn't know this truth, but he had no other choice but to attack.

Winter is coming soon, and the cold weather is not conducive to marching. Moreover, Jiangzhou has plenty of food and grass, and the siege of the city does not know how long it will take!

"Damn Zhao Wei, it looks like he's a bastard eating weights!"

Dian Wei on the side frowned, and looked at Liu Zhang puzzled.

"My lord, what do you mean?"

"I'm determined!"
