Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 976 Planning Hanzhong 2
A few days later, on the road more than 300 miles north of Yangping Pass, Yan Liang personally led an army of 15 to Hanzhong. This time, he received a secret order from Gongsun Xu to attack Hanzhong. At the same time, Xu Rong had already set out from Chang'an to cooperate with him. Attacking Zhang Lu, the war to unify the world is coming to an end, Yan Liang knows in his heart that this time he will wipe out the last separatist forces for his lord, and then unify the country.

"Marshal, just Zhang Lu, do you need to make such a big fuss?" Wen Chou ran over on his horse and asked, "It's just Zhang Lu. If it weren't for the fact that we have to cooperate with Zilong to stabilize the Western Regions in the past few years, what would happen?" I am afraid that Hanzhong has been captured long ago. I admit that Hanzhong is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but in the past few years, our army has sent back enough information. In my opinion, our army should use surprise attacks as the first priority and strive to win in one fell swoop. Yangping Pass, and then defeated Zhang Lu with lightning speed, so Zhang Lu will definitely surrender."

Yan Liang nodded after hearing this, and then didn't say anything. He just looked back at the 10,000+ army he led. In the past few years, he was fully prepared. The 10,000+ army has also undergone mountain warfare training. In order to adapt to the next battle, Yan Liang They even ordered the cavalry to dismount and train for mountain warfare.

However, Yan Liang is not stupid. He can't use elite cavalry as infantry. Of the 15 horses deployed this time, [-] are from the elite cavalry guarding Xiliang, and the other [-] are from Bingzhou, Yanzhou and other places. For the infantry that was transferred, after all, the next battle should focus on fortified battles, and it would be useless if there were too many cavalry.

Even so, these 15 people still have 10,000+ war horses. In order to increase the marching speed, Yan Liang ordered a batch of war horses to be recruited from the horse farm for the infantry to ride. In this way, the 15 people look like 15 cavalry .

"Marshal, you are talking." Wen Chou continued: "You give me [-] elites, and I will attack Yangping Pass overnight, and then you will lead an army to help, and our army will definitely be able to take the entire Hanzhong. Marshal Xu’s side is dominated by infantry, and it’s still early in Hanzhong, follow my plan, and we will all be able to wait for Marshal Xu’s army in Hanzhong by then.”

"After taking Hanzhong, what do you plan to do?" Yan Liang asked, "After defeating Zhang Lu, what do you think should be the next step?"

"After taking Hanzhong, it's time to recuperate." Wen Chou immediately replied: "It is rumored that Zhang Lu is a descendant of Zhang Ling and the leader of the contemporary Five Dou Rice Sect. His method of controlling Hanzhong is also very special. According to the lord, He adopted the strategy of corruption, and the people of Hanzhong were both his subjects and his followers.

My lord has said that such a corrupt ruling method is the easiest to confuse people's hearts. Presumably the people of Hanzhong have already been bewitched by Zhang Lu, so even if we win Hanzhong, we can't do anything to Zhang Lu. Treat him with delicious food and drink, the lord may have to give him a high official, so as to appease the people of Hanzhong, and then, of course, we must use our policies and methods to manage Hanzhong, so that Hanzhong will gradually get rid of Zhang Lu control. "

"Then what,,,,,,"

"Then it's natural to develop Hanzhong, otherwise why take Hanzhong?"

"Then what,,,,,,"

"Oh, Marshal, what are you talking about?" Wen Chou turned his head impatiently and looked at the silent Xu Huang beside him and said, "Gongming, tell me, is what I said makes sense.

In order to attack Hanzhong this time, our army has transferred a lot of elites from the Western Regions. In fact, there is no need for it. It is just Zhang Lu. Whether it is you or me, it is easy to win. You say yes No, what did the commander-in-chief say and then, how could there be so many and then, you said, what should we do next? "

"Then, hum." Xu Huang snorted coldly: "With the momentum of a great victory, use Zhang Lu's army to attack Xishu, defeat Liu Bei, and conquer the world for the lord, and unify the country."

"What did you say?" Wen Chou said in surprise, "You mean, actually our main purpose this time is not to attack Hanzhong, but the Lord ordered us to lead the army to prepare for the attack on Xishu?"

"Otherwise, do you think that for a Hanzhong, for a Zhang Lu, you need to use 20 troops, you need to use two generals under the lord's account, several generals, and you have to use so many elites?" Yan Liang laughed. "Also, do you think there are only two armies this time? Hmph, to tell you the truth, my lord has been planning for this war for a long time, and we are just one of them. Taking Hanzhong is only a preliminary plan. This time, we I will surely wipe out the thieves for my lord."

"I understand." Wen Chou said excitedly: "In this way, we can definitely earn a lot of credit, hahahaha, okay, okay, Commander, at the end of the day, please order to attack Yangping Pass. Within three days, In the end, we will be able to break through this barrier."

"No hurry, no hurry." Yan Liang shook his head and said, "This time, we don't need to be in such a hurry. Presumably Zhang Lu already knows that I, Yan Liang, will lead 15 elites to attack Yangping Pass. In order to resolve the war as soon as possible, of course I will give him the opportunity to arrange , Hanzhong has a total of 20 troops. Apart from the old and weak and the young and strong temporarily recruited, there must still be [-] to [-] elites.

I think that now Zhang Lu must be busy gathering a large army to go to Yangping Pass to deploy defenses. When the main force under his command is almost here, it will not be too late for us to make a move. "

"The commander-in-chief means that we are feinting?" Wen Chou said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't there no credit for that, come on, I have no interest in such things, Gongming, I think you are very suitable, why don't you go... ,,,,"

On the other side, an army of 3 from Chang'an is approaching Hanzhong, and Yang Ren is also leading the army to deploy defenses in various checkpoint cities. In his opinion, he also has an army of 5 on his side, although [-] are temporarily recruited. He is young and strong, but this will not affect his defense, after all, the opponent is only [-] people.

"Report,,,,,,," a messenger ran to Yang Ren's side to report: "General, carefully report the information."

Yang Ren took the information and opened it, and there was only one sentence written on it: "Xu Rong, Xiaobaiqi also."

"It turns out that Xu Rong still has such a prestigious nickname." Yang Renman said indifferently: "If you say that the generals under Gongsun Xu's command, most of them have resounding nicknames, such as Dian Wei from the ancient evil, White Horse General Yan Liang, White Horse Silver Spear Zhao Yun, Gui Jianchou Wen Chou, hehe, among so many nicknames, I have never heard of a person named Xiaobaiqi. It seems that the generals under Gongsun Xu like to post for themselves Gold,,,,,, "

Xu Rong's nickname is indeed Xiaobaiqi. This is mainly because of Xu Rong's military exploits in Liaodong, Sanhan, Grassland, Hetao and other places. Yang Ren naturally knows who Baiqi is. Otherwise, he wouldn't have laughed at Xu Rong for being so arrogant that he dared to pretend to be nothing.However, if he knew what Xu Rong had done in the places guarded before, he might not be able to laugh now.

When it comes to Bai Qi, many people will naturally think of the battle in which 40 Zhao troops were killed, and Xu Rong, in order to calm down the frontier, has killed a lot.
