Chapter 82 Pie fell from the sky again
There is no need to look at Zhang Ren's expression. Just by listening to his tone, Zhao Feng can feel that this man is very dissatisfied with his arrival.
I'm secretly on guard, but now is not the time to turn against me. At that moment, Zhao Feng smiled faintly and said, "Zhao came with a total of 15,000 people."
"Humph!" Zhang Ren snorted coldly, "There are more than ten generals in Sichuan, and more than 100,000 elite soldiers have not been able to capture Hanzhong. General Zhao only brings 15,000 people. Isn't it too play?" As soon as he said this, a group of Yizhou generals immediately echoed.
Zhao Feng doesn't understand now that these people deliberately cut his face. His fellow people agreed that they were just partial to the division. Originally, there would not be too many troops. What he really wanted to rely on was Guan Yu's army. Zhang Ren was known as the first general in Sichuan. He would not know the mystery of this. Now he is purely an egg. Pick the bones.
Since he provoked, Zhao Feng was not polite. At present, looking at Zhang Ren, who shot Pang Xiaoniao, who shot Pang Xiaoniao in history, Zhao Feng snorted and said, "General Zhang doesn't know whether the soldiers are expensive or not. At that time, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, had 8,000 soldiers in the east of the river, and broke through 200,000 soldiers in the Qin army. When Zhao was in Guangling, Xuzhou, he defeated Yuan Shu's 150,000 troops with 30,000 horses. In the former battle of Guandu, Cao Mengde only had Yuan Shaoyi, and won a complete victory. Today, Zhang Lu is only tens of thousands of horses, and the land is only occupied by the two counties of Hanzhong. Under the two-way attack between General Guan and me, this thief will definitely be the leader.
Zhang Ren heard the words for a while. After all, he was not good at bickering. Zhao Feng couldn't find words to fight back. At this time, Wang Lei stood up again and asked, "I don't know what General Zhao has. Can you wait with me?"
Wang Le is much more than Zhang Renyin. Now Zhao Feng hasn't seen Zhang Lu's hair yet. What's the magic plan to talk about it? If you can't say it, it will inevitably cut Zhao Feng's face. However, Zhao Feng was not so easily scolded by him. He snorted coldly, "Zhang Lu has only been in Hanzhong for a few years, and he is still worse than Sun Quan, who used to be in Jiangdong. I'm still here to deal with Sun Quan. At present, Zhang Lu is not worth mentioning. Obviously, he couldn't say a general idea, but he was full of words, as if he was completely sure, and this one was also shameless.
No matter how slow Liu Zhang's reaction is, he should hear the meaning of words and tongues at this time. He waved his hand to show that everyone who was ready to move to calm down. Liu Zhang turned his head to Zhao Feng and said, "General Zhao is brave, and although he knows it in Shuzhong. It's just 15,000 soldiers, which are too few after all. Well, I will allocate another 5,000 soldiers and generals here, and collect 20,000 yuan to attack Zhang Lu. As soon as the food and fodder are heavy, I will allocate it here.
Shit! Zhao Feng is really moving by Liu Chang now. No matter how sincere this guy is, he can't be so sincere. However, I guess Liu Zhang really hates Zhang Lu to the extreme. Now someone can help him clean up the person he hates most in his life, so everything is negotiable.
Since you're welcome, I'm not welcome. At present, Zhao Fengxun thanked him and said, "Thank you for your generous help. It's just that Feng doesn't know much about the geography of Sichuan, and asked Shu Gong to send a well-known person to wait for me as a guide.
"It's easy!" Liu Zhang nodded and then asked Zhang Ren, "Yiyi, do you know who is familiar with the geography of Shuzhong?"
Zhang Ren thought for a little, and finally said, "I have a long one under my command. My surname is Wang Mingping Zijun, and I'm from Dangqu, Brazil. This person is familiar with the geography of Shu and Hanzhong, and can be a guide. Liu Zhang nodded and ordered Wang Ping to go to Zhao Feng's account. I didn't expect Zhao Feng to be in a daze in his heart: Wang Ping Wang Zijun, a general in the middle and late Shu and Han dynasties in history, a defensive expert and a geography expert in Hanzhong, came to help him lead the way?
It's just that in history, Wang Ping went to Cao, but later he was used as a scapegoat by Xu Huang, so he switched to Liu Bei. Why did he come here now? Zhao Feng estimated that 80% of this guy hasn't gone to Cao Yan yet. After all, Lao Cao's current work focuses on Hebei, not Guanzhong, which is too far away from Xichuan. However, this Ren was so stingy that he only sent a head to help him. He never dreamed that this lamp was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Now that he's here, I can't let him go anymore.
The candidate for the guide was determined, and Zhao Feng was also relieved. Liu Zhang has been enjoying Shu for many years, and he is the first expert in the world to eat, drink and play. Under his push, the atmosphere of the banquet reached a small **, and Zhao Feng and others all returned with fun. Next, Zhao Feng declined Liu Zhang's kindness on the grounds of military emergency, and led his army to Jianmeng Pass to prepare to attack Hanzhong. In this way, Liu Zhang was very sorry. He quickly sent people to supervise the food and fodder, and then sent his wife and brother, but General Fei Guan led 5,000 troops to help the war. In the other box, Zhang Ren also transferred Wang Ping to Zhao Feng's account for use.
"See General Zhao!" After a few days, in Zhao Feng's large military camp, which was still more than a hundred miles away from Jianmengguan, a strong young man in his twenties saluted Zhao Feng. Looking at the person in front of him, Zhao Feng nodded and asked, "Are you Wang Ping and Wang Zijun?"
"It's a villain!" Wang Ping replied. Zhao Feng hummed and then asked, "Listen to General Zhang. Are you familiar with the geography of Hanzhong?
"The villain is a hunter and has been walking in the mountains since he was a child, so he is very familiar with the geography of Hanzhong." Wang Ping replied.
So that's it. With this live map, coupled with Zhang Lu's no powerful generals, he should be able to easily win Hanzhong. Zhao Feng said silently in his heart, but he still said first, "Can the unknown son talk about the terrain of Hanzhong?"
"No!" Wang Ping was not modest and said directly, "At present, the general's soldiers have come out to attack Nanzheng, where Zhang Lu is located. There are many passes along the way. Nanjiang City, Tiandang Mountain, Micang Mountain, Dingjun Mountain and Yangping Pass are all dangerous places. Especially Yangping Pass, its danger is not under the sword gate. If Zhang Lu is almost dead, even if the soldiers attack, it will have little effect.
"Hmm, no matter how dangerous it is, let's stone him to death!" Zhou Tai didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. He curled his lips directly. Unexpectedly, Wang Ping smiled bitterly and said, "The terrain of Yangping Pass is dangerous, only because of its narrowness in front of the pass, which is not conducive to the pressure of the soldiers, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Zijun once heard that the Jingzhou army's stone thrower was brave, but it is estimated that this thing should be placed ten units in front of the gate, which is almost enough.
"Is that so?" Zhou Tai was a little dumbfounded. Zhu Ran said, "Since the Yangping Pass is so dangerous, can you bypass the Yangping Pass and go straight to Nanzheng?"
"This, there is no path yet!" Wang Ping said with a wry smile. Zhao Feng carefully recalled the situation when Liu Bei and Cao Jian occupied Hanzhong in history. He felt that there should be some ways to deal with Yangpingguan. At present, he was not in a hurry. He just said, "I'll wait for this journey only to respond. Let's capture Nanjiang City. Maybe I haven't captured Yangping Pass yet, and General Guan has already taken Nanzheng. When everyone saw that the Lord had said so, they stopped saying anything. At present, everyone camped and camped for a night. The next day, they led the army to continue to move forward, ready to arrive at the Meng Pass.
"General, when we fight, I'm afraid the Yizhou army can't count on it!" Seeing that the Yizhou army led by Fei Guan had come to help the war, Zhou Tai also muttered. As he said, these Yizhou troops have really opened their eyes to the Jingzhou army in the past few days. Their weak equipment and serious lack of physical fitness have amazed the Jingzhou army. Zhao Feng estimated that their combat effectiveness was about the same as that of the county soldiers in Jingzhou.
As for this Fei Guan, this person is nicknamed Yizhou Dionyshen. From this name, it can be seen that this man should not be a very suitable person for war. As he was speaking, Fei Guan had caught up with him and said breathlessly, "General Zhao, can you take a break before you leave? Brothers, you really can't walk!"
"General Fei, there are only ten miles left from the gate. It's not too late to rest when you get to the gate!" Zhao Feng was a little speechless.
"But the brothers really can't walk!" Fei Guan ssed his lips. Zhao Feng looked at the Yizhou army behind him, and many people had already sat directly by the roadside and gasped. At this time, unless it's burning their buttocks, these people should not be able to walk.
"All right, just take a break first!" Zhao Feng said helplessly. I've had enough rest these days!" There are authentic words in Zhou Tai's words, and he is still there regardless of the cost. However, Fei Guan is a big fat man. He is open-minded and doesn't care. He just sighed, "The Jingzhou army is really the elite of the world. We Yizhou people have been used to walking the mountain road since we were young, but we are not as good as you. It's really awesome! I think even the most elite people under General Zhang's command are not as good as this Hu Ben army.
"Why, General Fei, aren't you the most elite man in Yizhou?" Zhao Feng heard the name of the hall and asked quickly.
"Of course not. General Zhang's 20,000 horses are the most elite in my Shu." Fei Guan replied as he gasped. Zhao Feng nodded, but he thought silently that if only 20,000 people in Yizhou could fight, it was really not famous.
After a break from a cup of tea, the army continued to meerge forward, and soon arrived at the Jiaomeng Pass. The guards Wu Lan and Lei Tong had been waiting for a long time. I didn't think General Zhao and General Fei would come so fast!" Wu Lan was a little unbelievable. Lei Tong laughed and said, "I thought General Fei would arrive the day after tomorrow at the earliest!"
"I'm ashamed. Following General Zhao these days, I haven't learned anything else, but my walking ability has increased a lot!" Fei Guan and the two knew each other well, and they didn't care about their jokes.
The second general hurriedly welcomed Zhao Feng into the customs, and everyone sat down before they began to discuss the matter. When entering the gate, Zhao Feng paid attention to this Mengguan, which was also a rare and dangerous place. Historically, it is absolutely not unreasonable for Huo Jun to repel the attack of 20,000 people with 2,000 people here. If you want him to be in a small town like Maicheng, it is estimated that Huo Jun will be completely destroyed in half a month.
"Two generals, I don't know if Zhang Lu has come to invade recently?" After sitting down, Zhao Feng asked first. Looking at Wu Lanlei Tong in front of him, he was almost in his thirties. These two people are relatively unlucky. Although they have defected to Liu Bei in history, they died when they captured Hanzhong. They couldn't wait for Liu Bei to become king. The benefits after surrendering were really limited.
"Zhang Lu has been very calm recently. It's probably that General Guan's soldiers are mediocre, making him unable to invade Xichuan!" Wu Lan said with a smile. Lei Tong continued: "I sent a detailed inquire about it yesterday, but I reported that there were only a few hundred defenders left in Nanjiang City. Zhang Lu sent General Yang Ang to guard Yangping Pass. This person relied on Yangping Pass, Tiandang Mountain, Dingjun Mountain, Micang Mountain and other places to set up a position to hold.
"In this case, taking advantage of the emptiness of the defenders, I will lead the army to attack Nanjiang City." Zhao Feng didn't expect that the pie would fall off on this day, and he quickly made a decision. Wu Lan and Lei Tong were shocked, and Fei Guan said with a sad face, "General Zhao, this has just arrived at Jianmeng Pass. Let's take a break for a few days!"
"It doesn't matter. I can just lead the troops of the headquarters to go. General Fei, you can lead the troops to leave the Mengguan for the time being!" Zhao Feng waved his hand. He also knew that Fei Guan was like a dead dog now, and it was a little difficult for him to continue to march. After a pause, Zhao Feng also deliberately said, "Zhao was ordered by my master to remove this Lu for Shu. One is to report the previous rescue; the second is the righteousness of all brothers; the third is to save the hundreds of thousands of people in Hanzhong who have been fooled by Zhang Lu. Now Zhang Lu is close in front of him. He should move forward with all his strength and destroy it as soon as possible! General Fei led the army to rest the whole number and said, "Wait when I capture Nanjiang City, and then lead the troops to receive the city!"
"General Zhao Gao Yi!" These generals are easy to be fooled. Seeing that Zhao Feng is so righteous and awe-inspiring, he is also very impressed. That night, Wu Lan and Lei Tong entertained Zhao Feng and Jingzhou soldiers and horses in Jianmengguan to have a full meal to refresh themselves. The next day, Zhao Feng personally led a 15,000 people to take Nanjiang City. As for Fei Guan and the 5,000 Yizhou Army, let's have a good rest at the Baomeng Pass first.
According to Wang Ping's guidance, the Jingzhou army walked along the road and came to Nanjiang City, the first city under the rule of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. Zhao Feng saw that it was still early, so he ordered Zhu Ran to set up a camp first, and led Zhou Tai, Niu Jin and others to call for the battle. Previously, Wang Ping and Sun Fu had told him that although the Hanzhong army was not very strong in combat effectiveness, their fighting spirit was extremely strong, and few of them surrendered. They believed in Wudou Midao and were absolutely not afraid of death when they fought. Zhao Feng also knew that this was the result of Zhang Lu's rule of the army. Thinking about the religious fanatics in later generations and the Yellow Turban Rebellion 20 years ago, Zhao Feng really felt that this kind of soldier was terrible enough. This unity of politics and religion is that even Mao Taizu is afraid of. I just don't know how much this Hanzhong army will not be afraid of death. If all the people are soldiers, it will be difficult to deal with. You can't kill the whole Hanzhong people. Therefore, Zhao Feng also wants to kill the general of the other party in front of the battle by calling the array, hoping to quickly disintegrate the fighting spirit of the other party by cutting the chaos with such a quick knife.
The so-called battle is to select dozens of soldiers with enough voices to scold and lure the enemy to fight. Not long after scolding, I heard a scratch on the Guancheng, and then the gate opened and rushed out two groups of people and horses. One of them, a general rode out and shouted to himself, "Who dares to invade my Nanjiang City? Master Changqi is here!"
Changqi? Zhao Feng carefully searched for the name in his mind, and finally remembered who this guy was: when Cao Qian attacked Hanzhong in history, he was killed by Xia Houyuan. Zhao Feng, a rookie, was naturally not interested. He turned his head lazily and asked the crowd, "Which of you went to deal with him?"
"I'll go!" But it was Niu Jinxing who rushed to fight in front of the battle. Although Niu Jin's martial arts is not as good as that of Xia Houyuan, it is not comparable to this Changqi. After only two rounds of fight, Niu Jin smashed a shot from Changqi with a knife, and then took the opportunity to split it in half.
"Kill!" Zhao Feng waved his army to take advantage of the victory and rushed to the city. Because Nanjiang City had been abandoned by Zhang Lu, there were not many defenders, and there were only 500 people in general. Changqi was beheaded, and the rest of the fighting spirit collapsed and surrendered one after another. It's okay!" Zhao Feng was also secretly relieved. If the people of the whole city really believed in Wudou Mi Dao and played the People's War with them, it would not be good. Now it seems that it is not so good.
Zhao Feng doesn't know that he is actually a little worried. In history, Liu Bei and Cao Jian attacked Hanzhong, but did not encounter too terrible mass resistance. After entering Nanjiang City, he first settled down the army, then took out a carrier pigeon with the army, briefly wrote a military report, and then released it.
"General, where did this carrier pigeon fly?" Niu Jin watched the carrier pigeon fly away and couldn't help asking.
"First to Hanshou, and then Ma Jichang will tell the Lord and General Guan." Zhao Feng replied. After half a year of construction, the carrier pigeon network has been distributed to Jingzhou and Yangzhou, of which Hanshou is the largest central hub. It is expected that in another year, the scope will be expanded to all places under Liu Bei's rule.
