Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 534 The Danger of Nanxiang
"No position?"

Hearing this, Su Xin couldn't turn her mind around, and was a little lost, muttering this sentence in her mouth.

For a while, he couldn't understand the meaning of Ye Ru's words. The so-called stance means that you can't be swayed, you can't be a wall, but the so-called no stance doesn't mean nothing...

Even though he was smart, he still caught a hint of inspiration, but he just couldn't figure out the relationship between them, and he couldn't grasp the key point, so he was confused.

"I don't understand. It's okay. You are still young. In fact, many things are not clear to you. I can still teach you. You must know that not all relationships in this world are either enemies or allies. Sometimes, relationships are in between. People can't figure it out!"

Ye Ru smiled lightly, and said softly: "My lord and the Hanzhong gentry are hostile, but they are not in a relationship of complete antagonism. The reason why the lord puts us in this position is not just because the Su family has the support of the people, but because Our existence can ease his relationship with the Hanzhong gentry. He is very smart and experienced. At least among the young people I have met, there is no one with his vision and courage. He always knows that if he wants to Based in Hanzhong, you can't get around the relationship network of the Hanzhong gentry, so you won't try to destroy the Hanzhong gentry, and we are the knife he uses to deal with the gentry, but in terms of the gentry, our honor is what they think It is the existence of hope, they are a hundred-year-old family, they have stood in Hanzhong for many years, they never care who is the master of Hanzhong, what they want is to gain power in the chaos and protect the family, do you understand?"

"I understand a little bit!"

After all, Su Xin still had some thinking, he replied in a low voice: "What uncle means is that we stand in the position of the prefect of Hanzhong, and we don't need conflicts between the two parties at all, but to reconcile the relationship between the two parties, right?"

"Very smart, half right!"

Ye Rudao: "But you still can't see through it!"

"What about the other half?"

Ye Ru squinted his eyes, and his eyes flickered brightly, and asked, "Who do you think the lord is?"

"My lord?"

Su Xin thought for a while, and said: "He should be the youngest hero I have ever seen. From the time he entered Shangyong to the defeat of Nanzheng, his movements were smooth and smooth. Dare ordinary people would not dare to do extraordinary things. Courage!"

"Then do you think a Hanzhong can satisfy the lord?"

"impossible!"

Su Xin said affirmatively: "My lord is a person who does great things. How can I be satisfied with my lord in Hanzhong? He is the one who wants to return to Guanzhong and dominate the world!"

At his age, he has an attitude of admiration for Mujing's ability to achieve such achievements at such a young age.

"So, we must learn to follow in the Lord's footsteps!"

Ye Ru's face was firm, and his voice was decisive: "Only in this chaotic world can the Su family and the Ye family not only preserve the continuation of the patriarch, but also make a prosperous career, and honor the ancestors!"

Since Mujing took Nanzheng, he has decided to follow the Mu family thoroughly, and ascend to heaven alone. As long as Mujing can become a dragon, they will be heroes from the dragon, and they will have a place in the new dynasty created.

"Uncle, the more you talk about it, the more confused I become. You just said that we have no position!"

After all, Su Xin was young, and was a little confused by what Ye Ru said.

"This is not a conflict!"

Ye Ru smiled and said: "Think about it carefully, you should understand!"

"By the way, my lord asked me to go south to Chengdu to pay a visit to Yizhou Mu. What should I do?" Su Xin asked.

He was a little worried about this.

After all, the relationship between Hanzhong and Yizhou is a little tense now, and he, the prefect of Hanzhong, is not on the right track, but he is very worried. If Liu Yan is upset and just gives him a knife, he will be wronged.

"Go at ease!"

Ye Ru saw it very clearly, and said in a deep voice, "Liu Yan, he dare not kill you!"

"That's not necessarily true. He even ordered his uncle to be killed, and he even put me in the eyes of a brat!"

"In fact, Liu Yan didn't want to kill Lord Su Gu at the beginning, but Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu couldn't tolerate Lord Su Gu at all for the sake of Hanzhong. Killing Lord Su Gu and destroying the Su clan has already brought him a lot of trouble. The most obvious is the rejection of him by the Hanzhong gentry!"

Ye Ru analyzed: "At this time, in order to repair the relationship with the Hanzhong gentry, he will never dare to touch you. If he touches the descendants of the Su family, he, the Yizhou pastor, will not be able to face it. This is why the lord asked you to go. For the reason, all of us may be beheaded by him if we go, and it is safest for you to go!"

The trip to Chengdu is a must.

Because Su Xin, the prefect of Hanzhong, must be sealed by Yizhou Mu before he can be regarded as a dignified appointment by the court.

"But you can remember one thing, between Liu Yan and the lord, your position must be firm!" Ye Ru said: "Liu Yan will not kill you, I am sure, but whether he will win you over, I don't know." knew!"

"Win me?"

Su Xin said coldly: "He was the one who killed my Su family back then, and now he still wants to win me over. Am I so easy to play with?"

"All in all, you can go, but you have to be careful when you go, be careful what you say, be careful when you speak, don't answer if you can't answer, and procrastinate if you can. Song, you must not say it to death, you are the prefect of Hanzhong, and you represent Hanzhong!"

"Understood!"

Su Xin nodded and said.

……

Time entered March of the second year of Chuping.

Nanyang, the county seat of Nanxiang.

The county town has been besieged for more than a full month. Before February, the ice and snow had just melted, and the Nanyang Army mobilized their troops. Breaking through the two defense lines of the herd army, they directly approached the city.

The Violent Bear Army could only keep abandoning all the defense lines outside the city, gathered their forces, gathered in the city, and fought a defensive battle.

The Nanyang army has been besieging the city for more than a month, with fierce attacks. There have been more than thirty or forty battles, large and small. On average, there is almost one battle every day. Baikong, the gate of the city is also crumbling under the impact of the crashing car.

In the evening of this day.

On the day of the battle, the Nanyang Army retreated after the soldiers were exhausted. The soldiers on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief quietly. In their hearts, another day had passed.

"Yuan Fu, how is the battle going today?"

Hu Zhao walked up the city wall, looked at the scattered soldiers, and asked softly.

"Not very optimistic!"

Zhou Cang smiled wryly. There was a wound on his shoulder wrapped in a white cloth strip. It was a wound caused by the loss. Fortunately, it was a penetrating wound. After pulling out the arrow and bandaging it, as long as he cultivated himself, there would be no serious problem at all. He could continue to fight urgently. When he swung the long knife, he pulled the wound and bled profusely. After re-bandaging, the left arm had almost no strength, and his strength had dropped by at least [-] to [-]%.

He said in a deep voice: "Today, the enemy's attack has become much more fierce. Our army's consumption on the top of the city is too great. In the end, the arrows are almost exhausted, and there are no rolling logs or stones. Facing their attack, we can only go directly to the battle. Fighting, nearly 200 casualties!"

Hu Zhao glanced at the city, and the Nanyang barracks on the opposite side had already seen wisps of cooking smoke. He asked again, "How long are you sure you can hold it off?"

"According to this, half a month is already the limit!"

Zhou Cang said: "Our Violent Bear Army suffered too many casualties in Guanzhong before, and our current strength is not yet one-third of what it was before. Even with the addition of the Yangshan Battalion, it is only [-]-[-]% of the strength. It is too difficult to stop them!"

"Half a month?"

Hu Zhao sighed: "I thought I could hold on for more than three months, but now it seems that I am too optimistic!"

"There's one more thing, I'm guessing, I don't know if I'm sure, but I think I should let you know!"

Zhou Cang looked around, leaned over, and whispered in Hu Zhao's ear, "The Nanyang army on the opposite side seems to be increasing its troops!"

He didn't dare to say this out loud.

Now the morale of the soldiers is a little unstable. If they know the news of the enemy's increase in troops, they will be in chaos.

"what?"

Hu Zhao's eyes widened: "Are you sure?"

"The soldiers who attacked in the past two days are a new force. Although they tried their best to cover up, even the armor and robes worn by the soldiers who attacked before, they are of inferior quality, but as long as they fight, they will find that they are different. The soldiers who have fought hard for a month , whether it is us or them, will be exhausted, and it is different from the soldiers who have just entered the battlefield!"

Zhou Cang said: "The so-called battle on the battlefield is like a tiger, and it will be repeated again and again, and it will decline three times. No matter which army or horse it is, it is impossible to maintain absolute fighting spirit on the battlefield. We have fought for more than a month. Yes, it's exhausting now. It's a miracle that the exhaustion of the two sides' stalemate can't be retreated. It is impossible to have a strong morale in a fight, but the morale of the soldiers who have fought in the past two days is so strong that they are the freshmen who have just charged! "

"In addition, after I discovered this anomaly, I immediately sent scouts out of the city from left to right, walked around, even went around, looked from the official road behind, and found some clues. In the last three days, at least one Wan Dajun entered Shunyang from the champion's official road, and then entered the Nanyang barracks on the opposite side!"

"It seems that the enemy army has really increased their troops. This time, they want to kill them all!" Hearing this, Hu Zhao clenched his fists: "Nanxiang, are you going to lose it?"

Until the last moment, he didn't want to give up Nanxiang.

Nanxiang is their last hope to return to Nanyang in the future. Once Nanxiang is lost, even if they want to come back in the future, it may be difficult.

"Whether Nanxiang will survive or not, I don't know, but I will stick to it to the end!"

Zhou Cang said: "But there is one thing we need to prepare in advance. Madam is still in the city. No matter what, she can't fall into Yuan Shu's hands. Once the city is broken, she will inevitably suffer disaster. This is not only about a life, but also about the Lord. face, the face of our entire Minghou Mansion, so she must leave!"

"Actually, I came here to bring you some good news. The news came from Hanzhong just now. The lord has already taken Hanzhong, but Hanzhong is not stable. It will take time for the army to return to the division, at least half a month! "

Hearing this, Hu Zhao pondered for a while, then suddenly said.

This was originally good news, but now, the news of the enemy's increase in troops made him uneasy. Can he last for half a month?

"Before they increased their troops, I was confident that I would fight hard for a month, let alone half a month, but now, I really have no confidence. Even if we all die here, we may not be able to stop them for half a month. !"

Zhou Cang shook his head.

"so……"

"I must escort my wife away immediately, go west, enter Dongshan, and take the Dongshan plank road. Didn't someone send back the marching map of Dongshan plank road before? Follow this road and go straight into Hanzhong!"

"Are we giving up on Nanxiang?"

"No, you go, you go together, as much as the officials of Minghou Mansion can go, I will lead the army to defend Nanxiang, only half a month, no matter what, I will try to see if I can hold it!" Zhou Cang said very firm.
