Xiaoguangong

Chapter 367 This is a good thing
The fire in the upper valley spread rapidly by the cold winter wind.

The withered grass in the valley was instantly ignited, and the overwhelming wildfire engulfed Cao Jun’s military tents in an instant. Terrifying fire dragons ran around, and the soldiers burned by the fire rolled around in pain, causing more people to be engulfed by the fire.

fire!There is fire everywhere!
No matter how strong and calm a person is, he can't keep his composure at such a moment. Hao Zhao, the iron wall general, was so panicked by the dazzling flames and billowing smoke that he froze on the spot for a while, unable to advance or retreat.

It was at this moment that earth-shattering roars sounded again in the valley.

"People follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows the nature!"

The uniform roar of thousands of people seemed to push the gale in the valley. In the flames soaring into the sky, Zhang Weijing, naked to the waist and with hair disheveled, stood facing the wind with a long sword in his hand, chanting words.

Under his call, all the believers of Wudoumi seemed to be covered by holy light all over their bodies, singing out of tune lyrics, stepping on the scorching ground, waving all kinds of weapons in their hands, fiercely attacking Cao Jun Jump over!
These ghost soldiers are a group of pious farmers, and they have not undergone any strict training. If they fight Cao Jun head-on, they will be overwhelmed immediately.

But under the encouragement of the raging fire, under the "blessing" of Zhang Wei's spell, everyone has forgotten their fear, as if their whole body is infused with the power of the sky, and they will kill Cao Jun without hesitation!
Iron Wall General Hao Zhao was able to support Ma Chao's offensive, but the fire cut off his rear, and another powerful enemy came. Hao Zhao's army was in chaos, and he retreated into the valley without thinking.

The fire is getting bigger and bigger, Cao Jun has completely collapsed, not to mention organizing an effective resistance, in the increasingly hot mountains, the only thought of everyone is to hurry up and escape, only to hurry up and escape!

The peasants who had been ambushing on both sides of the valley for a long time also mobilized one after another. They did not dare to go into the flames to chase after them, but everyone beat the gong that had just been prepared, and there was a lot of noise, which made Cao Jun think that there were thousands of troops in ambush , fell into collapse in an instant.

That night, Cao's army suffered heavy losses. Half of the elite soldiers under Zhugeqian and Hao Zhao's command who had beaten Cheng Gongying were killed in the fire, or fell apart in the trampling of each other. Zhang Wei led a group of ghost soldiers to chase and trample at will, and captured a large number of frightened Cao Jun. The soldiers even chased all the way out of the inclined valley, chasing and killing Cao Jun's rear team.

At dawn, a drizzle of icy cold began to fall in the valley, and the light rain soon turned into light snow again. The flickering fires around began to extinguish little by little, and the valley, which was originally unbearably hot, finally returned to its former desertedness.

Zhang Wei stepped forward slowly on the scorched human figure, looking at the lying bodies all over the place, he couldn't help but gasp.

Cao Jun's losses in this battle were so tragic, and their morale was bound to be severely damaged. In a short period of time, Hanzhong was safe.

"As expected of Master." He murmured, "Is all this in Master's plan?"

If according to Zhang Wei's previous deployment, Cao Zhi was intercepted east of Hanzhong, Hanzhong would be empty when the enemy came from Xiegu.

However, Zhang Lu chose to put Cao Zhi on the inside line, relying on the strong city and the people's hearts to defend, and he can quickly dispatch after receiving the enemy attack from the north, and use the terrain to ambush.

Moreover, Cao Zhi's attack obviously made Cao Jun take it lightly. The captured Cao Jun said that before they attacked, everyone thought that Zhang Lu must be busy defending Nanzheng and did not dare to leave the city to go north. Chang Diao was transferred away, so he suffered a catastrophe.

Many captured Cao soldiers refused to accept it. They stared at Zhang Wei viciously and cursed:

"If Chang Junshi is here, do you still want to ambush us? It's a dream! I only hate that there are treacherous officials in the court, and recall Chang Junshi, otherwise... otherwise, how can you allow you to be rampant!"

If Zhang Wei would have been furious in the past, he would have killed all these people earlier.

But now in front of a group of believers who have just joined him, Zhang Wei still smiled lightly, saying that you are free.

Hmph, it's a good thing that Cao Pi transferred Chang Diao away, I hope this monster won't come again in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei forced a smile on his face:
"Chang Junshi is good at fighting. It is rare in ancient times. He only hates his fate. Hey, if he sees it, the master's magic law will convince him not to commit another crime.

Today's defeat, thinking about it, I will be dissatisfied in my heart, God has the virtue of being good, and we are not Cao Jun's tyranny, let's all go back! "

The captured Cao Jun was ready to be killed, but Zhang Wei let them go.

There were still very few people who wanted to die, and everyone bowed down one after another to express their gratitude to Zhang Wei, and then left in a hurry.

·
It had been a long time since Cao Zhi and Zhang Yun's army had reached the city of Nanzheng. Zhang Yun judged that there were fewer defenders in the city than expected, so he mobilized all his troops to attack the city many times.

It's a pity that they lacked a lot of siege equipment from afar. In addition, before Zhang Wei left, the local people also firmly supported Zhang Lu. Cao Zhi's several attacks all failed. Bubble, kept stomping and complaining.

He very much wanted to break through Hanzhong, gain his reputation, and connect with Yunshan, so that he could at least avoid Cao Pi's temporary pursuit, and he would not have to be a caged bird in the future.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lu gave up the periphery this time and defended Nanzheng with all his strength. After Nanzheng experienced such a strong resistance after the initial panic, Cao Zhi did not expect it.

Damn it, this Zhang Lu is really a bit of a ghost, it seems that he is really ready to occupy this place and fight to the end.

General Yun, where are you, hurry up and deal with this thief!
Cao Zhi kept talking in his heart, looking forward to a miracle.

But obviously in Nanzheng, a place like Nanzheng, instead of being favored by God, they quickly heard a bad news.

"Something went wrong." Zhang Yun ran over quickly, with a frightened expression on his face, "My lord, something is wrong. Zhang Wei secretly mobilized soldiers a few days ago, and actually sneaked through the reward ramp.

Chang Junshi's subordinates wanted to go to Hanzhong to attack Zhang Lu with us, but this time the whole army has been wiped out! "

Cao Zhi's hands visibly trembled, but there was not much fear on his face.

"How did you know?"

"Zhang Wei sent people to show off his power, saying that everything is in Zhang Lu's calculations, and that if we are sensible, we should retreat quickly!"

Cao Zhi was no longer the reckless young man who was greedy for drinking. He frowned and thought for a long time, but his delicate face was still full of calmness.

"If Zhang Wei is really able to repel Chang Juying, he should use this matter to frighten our army first, and then attack suddenly, taking advantage of our army's confusion.

But now he actually told me to retreat by myself, which shows that this battle must be quite strange. Although Chang Juying was slightly injured and forced to retreat, his foundation was not damaged.

Hmph, keep attacking the city, I want to see if Zhang Wei dares to come out and fight with me! "

Zhang Yun blinked painfully, and sighed:

"My lord, I don't think we can attack the city like this. Zhang Lu has won the hearts of the people here. Although Nanzheng is imprisoned, the soldiers in the city are full of fighting spirit, and it is impossible to go down overnight.

I might as well retreat for now before making plans. "

In order to keep his position, Cao Zhi led his army to "attack" Hanzhong many times before.

I didn't expect Cao Zhi to come up this time, and he insisted on sticking here and not leaving.

"You don't understand." There was a hint of arrogance in Cao Zhi's eyes, "I believe that brother Tan, brother Tan will come soon. If I wait until I retire, the achievements I have accumulated before will be wiped out. Credit, I want to hold everything in my hands."

Zhang Yun has been with Cao Zhi for a long time these days, and to be honest, he finally has a little sympathy.

He knew Yunshan's identity, and knew that this person was Guan Ping, the Cao family's formidable enemy. If this person took Hanzhong and connected Yongzhou and Liangzhou together, plus Liu Bei from Yizhou and Sun Quan, who had already made the Northern Expedition, the Cao family would The end is estimated to be coming.

He endured it for a long time, and still said with a guilty conscience:
"My lord, do you think it's possible? I mean if maybe Yun Tanzhi is really Guan Ping, then...haha, I'm not afraid, it's my lord..."

"So what?" Cao Zhi's eyes showed a trace of doubt, "My Cao family has been loyal and good for generations, and I, Cao Zhi, am a pure minister of the Han Dynasty. I have never coveted Han Zuo. If Tan's brother is Guan Ping... Isn't this a great thing? "

Zhang Yun: ...
