Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 482

Outside Shangyong city.

on the plain.

Shangyong's 1 soldiers plus Zhang Wei's [-] elite Taoist soldiers, and some young men who transported food, a total of [-] soldiers, lined up in a battalion, condescending, staring at Shangyong City.

In the tent of the Chinese army.

Zhang Suo and Zhang Wei walked back and forth, their impatience revealed that they were in a very gloomy mood at the moment.

"Have you checked it out? How could Shangyong be compromised in such a short period of time?"

Zhang Wei stared at Zhang Suo.

"Under normal circumstances, with the fortification of Shangyong City and the soldiers dispatched by Xu Zhui, it is logical that their strength cannot be broken in such a short period of time, unless..."

Zhang Suo's expression was ugly: "Someone is meeting him in the city!"

"Who?"

"There are not many capable people, and those who are still dissatisfied with us are ready to come out!"

There was a hint of Xiao Sha in Zhang Suo's eyes: "At the beginning Zhang Xiu ordered to suppress the local squires, and then Master Shijun ordered to take back some land with five buckets of rice, so many squire families in the city hated us , led by Mrs. Ye!"

"Ye Shi?"

"Ye Shi, you are unfamiliar, Ye Mingsheng, you are not unfamiliar!"

"The one who dared to write to the court for the former prefect Su Gu?" Zhang Wei's pupils changed color slightly: "Later Zhang Xiu wanted to kill him, but was saved by Liu Yan. I heard that Liu Yan admired his integrity and wanted to kill him." Solicited him, but was rejected by him again, and finally nothing happened, is it him?"

"That's right!"

Zhang Suodao: "I also got a foothold in Shangyong, so I know that such a person is a local gentry, sitting on the most land in Shangyong, and behind him is the support of Su Gu, the prefect. Keep a low profile, and few people know that I have supported the Xu family these years, and slowly weakened the Ye family."

He sighed: "Before I suspected that if Mu Jun entered the pass, there must be an inner ghost. I didn't expect it to be Ye Mingsheng."

"Then what should we do now?"

Zhang Wei became more irritable: "With the support of the local gentry, this group of shepherds has stabilized Shangyong City. If we lose Shangyong, it is equivalent to opening the door to Hanzhong. How can we be worthy of Master Shijun!"

"The matter has come to this point, there is no use for us to feel guilty!"

Zhang Suo calmed down: "The trick is the trick. I didn't expect that Lai Renju would be so courageous. When Fangling succeeded, he also gave up his advantage and led the army out of Fangling, resolutely betting against us. , and finally let him succeed!"

If he were the chief general of Mu Jun, he would never dare to do this.

First, to get Fangling, at least one bridgehead to enter Hanzhong, and stick to Fangling County, even if they attack by force, they may not be able to break through.

Second, the soldiers came out of Fangling and attacked Shangyong, which seemed to be flowing smoothly, but was actually walking a tightrope. If any link went wrong, not only would Shangyong not be able to fight, but they would also fall into a situation where they would be surrounded and wiped out.

Normally, no one should take such a risk.

However, the chief general of the Mu army took such a risk, and it succeeded, causing him to lose Shangyong City.

"I'm interested in meeting this person!" Zhang Suo said coldly.

"Shouldn't we be thinking about how to take back Shangyong City now?"

Zhang Wei frowned.

"No!"

Zhang Suo shook his head: "We have already made a mistake once. This time, no matter what, we must not make another mistake. If Shangyong loses it, he will lose it. If our tens of thousands of troops are defeated here, it will not be a blow to Master Shijun!" A little bit, so next, we have to be careful!"

He clenched his fists: "Wait!"

"Wait for what?"

"I have dispatched several routes of messenger cavalry to ask Lord Shijun for help!" Zhang Suo said: "I will not attack Shangyong until Lord Shijun's reinforcements arrive!"

"Isn't that afraid of them?" Zhang Wei was a little unwilling.

"Losing Shangyong, Master Shijun scolded us the most, and we are willing to bear it, but if there is any mistake in our soldiers and horses, it will not be Master Shijun's anger at us, but the whole Hanzhong is in danger!"

Zhang Suo said coldly: "I can't bear it now, do I have to fight hard?"

"Our troops may be able to defeat Shangyong!"

Zhang Weidao.

"Without Ye Mingsheng's help, there is indeed a chance, and I have paid a huge price. I am still confident that I can return to Shangyong, but if Ye Mingsheng helps Mu Jun, we have no chance at all. Ye's in Shangyong is comparable to Xu's." Even more influential!" Zhang Suo shook his head: "Once a strong attack is made, it will only consume the lives of our soldiers in vain!"

"Then wait!"

Zhang Wei said helplessly.

"Wait!" Zhang Suo's eyes were always shining with a sharp cold light: "This battle is just the beginning. If the remnants of the Mu clan are determined to win Hanzhong, then the war between us will spread to the entire land of Hanzhong. This shame, There's always a chance we'll wash it off."

…………

……

Two days later, the autumn air was crisp and the weather was fine.

Shangyong city head.

"Zhang Suo is so calm?"

Standing on the top of the city, Chen Dao stared at the faintly visible camp in the distance outside the city, and said quietly.

He prepared for more than two days, but he never saw Shangyong's soldiers and horses counterattacking Shangyong.

This was beyond his expectation.

"Lieutenant Chen, don't underestimate this Zhang Suo!" Ye Ru stood beside him, with his hands on his back, his eyes vivid, looking at the tents of soldiers and horses outside the city, and said: "Although he let Captain Chen plot out because of his impatience, But it is definitely a mission for this person to calm down. Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu joined hands to kill Lord Su Gu, the prefect, and then they fought again and began to compete for Hanzhong. Jun, but the Five Dou Rice Cult established by Zhang Xiu, even if Mr. Su Gu was afraid of the Five Dou Rice Cult back then, in terms of advantages, Zhang Xiu would dominate Hanzhong, but he never expected that Zhang Suo, the general under Zhang Xiu, would Turning against each other halfway, he set up a banquet for several fierce generals under Zhang Xiu's command, and then trapped and killed Zhang Xiu's generals at the banquet. The victory won by Zhang Lu can be imagined, this Zhang Suo is extraordinary!"

"Such a person should not be underestimated!"

Chen nodded.

"In the past two years, my Ye family has struggled and almost perished because of this person!" Ye Ru said coldly, "I wish I could kill him!"

"Then I can't figure it out, what is he waiting for?" Chen Dao squinted his eyes and asked faintly.

"He's waiting because he's not sure!"

Ye Ru thought for a while, and said: "It is because he is not sure that he will wait patiently. Naturally, Zhang Lu's reinforcements are waiting. Xicheng is a long way from Shangyong, but marching day and night may also be within three to five days. So far, Xicheng has tens of thousands of elite soldiers under Zhang Lu's general Yang Bai!"

"Since he's waiting, wouldn't it be better for me to take the initiative?"

Chen Da thought about it, as if talking to himself.

"I don't recommend it!"

Ye Ru heard this, shook his head, and said: "Maybe Zhang Suo is waiting for Captain Chen to take the initiative to attack. What's more, with Captain Chen's current strength, even if he wants to attack 1 mediocre soldiers, he will not be able to fight against them." There will be a lot of damage, once the damage is too much, is Captain Chen still sure that he can hold Shangyong before Lord Minghou reinforces him?"

"That's right, I need to defend Shangyong City before the Lord's main force arrives, that would be too risky!"

Chen Dao nodded, and he bowed his hands to Ye Ru: "What Mr. Ming Sheng taught is that I am too impatient, and many things cannot be rushed. We have already won Shangyong, and the first task is to keep Shangyong. I almost made a mistake. Made the same mistake as Zhang Suo!"

In the past two days, under his open and unannounced visits in Shangyong City, coupled with Su Xin's explanation, he knows Ye Ru's status in Shangyong. This is a scholar, or a weather vane for the entire Shangyong scholar, quite clear, He is proud and can be called a great Confucian in Hanzhong.

So he respected Ye Ru a lot.

In this era, it is common sense to respect scholars.

"But Captain Chen, have you ever thought about it? It may not be a good thing to stick to Shangyong!" Ye Ru continued: "Once the main force of Hanzhong in the west city comes to the city and cooperates with the Shangyong soldiers outside, then Captain Chen still has the confidence to be able to do so." Can you hold Shangyong City?"

"Have!"

Chen Dao said firmly: "Unless the soldiers under our command die, otherwise, I will not let go of this Shangyong City, no matter how many soldiers they come!"

"It's a good thing that Captain Chen is determined!"

Ye Ru raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Now my Ye family is tied to Lord Minghou's boat. I have heard a little about the reputation of Lord Minghou in the world, but hearing is not as good as seeing, at least I have seen it." The shepherd army is not a bandit army of fish and meat people. You have been in the city for many days, but you have abided by it and never disturbed the people. , Master Minghou is a person who loves the people, so I am willing to help you!"

"Ming Sheng has a way to defeat Zhang Suo?"

Chen Dao narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a gleam in his eyes.

"no!"

Ye Ru shook his head: "I'm not good at military strategy!"

He is not an arrogant person. He has never marched, and he will not think that he can make suggestions after reading a few military books.

He continued: "But I know one thing. The eight thousand elite soldiers under Zhang Suo's command are all descendants of Shangyong. Since they are soldiers of Shangyong's disciples, there will always be gaps. They will have parents, wives and children in the city. Their weakness!"

"Weakness?"

Chen Dao frowned, his eyes flickered with a strange color.
