Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 722

Liu Ye did not be polite with Ma Teng and Fazhen, and went straight into Chang'an City. After that, he stayed in Chang'an City for a period of time, reviewing the gathered army and the grain and grass transferred from all over Guanzhong for the army of Guanzhong. Make the final preparations.

At this time, Hanzhong and Nanzheng.

"Liu Ye really sent troops?"

One person on the seat has a pale complexion and three long beards under his jaw. He looks like a fairy-style and daoist spirit, but he has a worried look on his face, but he is the current leader of the Wudou Mijiao, separate from Hanzhong, and claims to be the prefect. Zhang Lu.

"Exactly, I heard that the leading general is the Zhennan General Zhangja under Liu Ye's account." Gong Cao Yanpu replied.

Zhang Lu was taken aback: "But Zhang Junyi, who defeated the more with less and defeated the 40,000 Jingzhou Army?"

"It's this person."

Yan Pu's face solemnly said: "It is said that the jaw used 50,000 troops in Nanyang, and it is so powerful that it will attack Shangyong and Xincheng, and attack me from the south."

Seeing Zhang Lu's dignified look, his brother Zhang Wei stood up nonchalantly and shouted: "What is your brother afraid of? It's just a jaw. Leading 50,000 soldiers is just a fraud, and at most 20,000 or 30,000 horses. That's it, my Hanzhong army is not afraid of them."

"A please order! With 20,000 soldiers and horses, that jaw must be blocked by Shangyong and not allowed to enter my Han."

Zhang Wei clasped his fist.

Seeing Zhang Wei take the initiative to ask for a fight, Zhang Lu nodded with satisfaction, but did not immediately agree to him, but looked at Yan Pu with questioning eyes.

"Yan Gongcao, what do you think of Zhang Wei sending troops to resist Zhang Jaw?"

Yan Pu is Zhang Lu's chief adviser. What Zhang Lu wants to do must first ask Yan Pu and rely on him quite heavily.

Yan Pu's face remained unchanged, but he just sighed: "Zhang Jai is a famous general, and he uses skillful changes. If the second general can guard against death, stand firm and clear the field, it would be nothing to stop Zhang Jai if he does not take the initiative to fight."

Zhang Lu nodded with satisfaction, while Zhang Wei was a little unconvinced. He had a good location and was familiar with the geographical situation of Hanzhong, Shangyong and other places. If he played in a battle, he might be caught off guard.

"that..."

Zhang Lugang was about to make a decision, but was interrupted by Yan Pu.

"The only concern for someone is that Liu Ye will send heavy troops to attack Yangping Pass."

As soon as Yan Pu's words came out, Zhang Lu suddenly became disgusted.

Yangping Pass was a barrier to the east of the Han Dynasty. It was built on a mountain and was extremely strong. It was stationed with a thousand troops, enough to defend against multiple enemies. It was precisely because of the control of Yangping Pass that Zhang Lu was able to be so confident. But if Liu Ye all the soldiers in the Guanzhong attack Yangpingguan, then the main force of Hanzhong will go south to Shangyong, how to resist the surging Guanzhong army?

"Will Liu Ye attack Shangyong and Yangping Pass at the same time?" Zhang Wei muttered.

"Second General, that's the case." Yan Pu explained: "Liu Ye has always had this style of warfare. The battle of Meji and the battle of Yecheng are all set in the first battle. Now Liangzhou's army is strong, and Liu Ye is right now. My Hanzhong was moved, and I absolutely wanted to go with a drum. How could it be possible to send out only one army to entangle our army?"

"Then...what should I do?"

Zhang Lu suddenly panicked, sweat beads the size of soybeans dripped from his forehead, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Master, how about surrendering?" Yang Song who was silent on the side suddenly said.

"surrender?"

"The general Weijiahai has many troops, abundant food and grass, and sits on the land of six states, but my Hanzhong is only a mere two counties. How can I compete with the general even if it is poor and military?" Yang Song persuaded. .

Zhang Lu did not speak, but Zhang Wei was furious.

"Well, Yang Song, how can you persuade my brother to be sent down? If you are a courtier, how can your brother have a way to survive?"

"Master, it may not be necessary to fall down." Yan Pu said dullly.

Zhang Lu was taken aback and stared at him, "Yan Gongcao, do you also persuade a certain to surrender?"

"It is to surrender, but not now."

Yan Pu talked freely: "If our army kneels and surrenders now, it will inevitably be underestimated by Liu Ye. Therefore, our army should resolutely resist, consume the strength of the Liangzhou army, and then please surrender. At that time, not only will the face be much better, but Liu Ye Don't dare to underestimate Master, the treatment is naturally different."

"I teach believers throughout the two counties, and I regard Shijun as the spiritual leader. In order to stabilize the rule of the two counties, Liu Ye must also reuse Shijun. Then it will only be a surrender in name. Why not?"

Hearing Yan Pu's words, Zhang Lu couldn't help but nodded, but a trace of jealousy flashed in Yang Song's eyes. They were also persuading to surrender. Why is the treatment so different?

"Well... Yan Gongcao made a lot of sense, it seems that it must be so."

Zhang Lu thought for a while and finally made a decision.

"Where is Zhang Wei?"

Zhang Wei was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward, clasping his fists with a "pop": "The end is here, dare you ask what your brother has to say?"

"You lead 20,000 soldiers and go to Shangyong to deploy defenses. You must not stand firm, resist the sharp edge of the jaw and guard the south of Hanzhong, understand?"

Zhang Lu specially urged Zhang Wei to be cautious. He naturally knew his younger brother's character, impulsive and reckless, but his family was the most reliable in the face of disaster, so he naturally wanted to send Zhang Wei to send troops.

"I will obey!"

"Ok."

Zhang Lu nodded, then looked at the man on the right half wearing a shirt, covering the armor, with a brutal face.

"Yang Ren." Zhang Lu said, "A certain gives you 10,000 soldiers. No matter how many troops Liu Ye sends from the pass, you must hold the Yangping Pass. Can you do it?"

Yang Ren looks rough and bold, and he is naturally courageous. He brightened his eyes and stood up and said loudly, "Master, please rest assured that Yangpingguan will be a gatekeeper and Wanfu will not open. Even if Liu Ye raises a million soldiers, Yang Ren will definitely It's stuck in Yangping Pass, so you can't make any progress!"

30,000 soldiers and horses are basically all the mobile soldiers and horses in Hanzhong County. Although Zhang Lu pays a light tax, so many people from all over the country come to join him, but he actually has only two counties under his jurisdiction, and it basically raises 30,000 troops. The above is the limit of Hanzhong.

The reason why Zhang Wei was given 20,000 soldiers and horses, but Yang Renwan was given to Yang Pingguan, because Yangping Pass is a natural danger. It can be said that as long as Yang Ren leads the army to stick to it, no matter how brave and capable generals are, how brave they are. The dead soldiers cannot break Yangping Pass in a short time.

The direction of Shangyong is different. Shangyong does not have the natural dangers of Yangping Pass. Zhang's jaw can lead the army directly. Therefore, Zhang Wei needs more soldiers and horses. Otherwise, once Shangyong County falls, the south of Hanzhong will naturally It's dangerous.

"One month!"

Zhang Lu stared at Zhang Wei and Yang Ren, and said firmly: "You must stick to it for a month, then a certain will send an envoy, please come down."
