The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 583 Good News
"Who opened the city gate and caused chaos for us to attack?" Gan Ning was very puzzled by this.

"It has to be said that the lord has the foresight. Before Hanzhong was taken by Zhuge Liang, the lord bought Yang Song, an important minister under Zhang Lu's command. After Zhang Lu lost to Zhuge Liang, Yang Song surrendered. This man is very flattering. Zhuge Liang didn't embarrass him, and continued to employ him, but Yang Song didn't take Zhuge Liang seriously at all. He had been secretly buying people in Hanzhong. The city gate, so we were able to capture Hanzhong without much effort." Lu Xun told what happened.

"It turned out that the lord arranged it secretly. Thanks to the lord, otherwise we would not be able to take Hanzhong easily. By the way, General Lu, what should we do next?" Although Gan Ning was injured, he was more concerned about his body than his body. one step strategy.

"We got the latest news that Ma Teng has sent troops from Xiliang to attack Chang'an. We can cooperate with Ma Teng to attack Chang'an. We lost a total of 6000 people in the first battle of Hanzhong, and we still have 1 troops to use. We leave [-] Ten thousand people guard Hanzhong to prevent Liu Bei from attacking again, and then I will personally lead [-] troops to Chang'an, who of you will stay in Hanzhong for me." Lu Xun glanced at everyone.Gan Ning definitely wanted to stay, as his health had not yet recovered, it was impossible for him to go out with the army again.

"I would like to stay and guard Hanzhong." Yu Jin clasped his fists and said.

"Because the general guards Hanzhong personally, I am relieved. I will give you Yang Song. Although this person has no ability, he has a very wide network in Hanzhong and has a lot of influence. Therefore, if you want to use him to quickly control Hanzhong, I think you should I know how to do it." Lu Xun is very aware of the importance of Yang Song, and Zhuge Liang failed because he ignored Yang Song's influence.

Yu Jin said worriedly: "But military adviser, I heard that Zhang Lu is not dead yet, will Yang Song strongly suggest that Zhang Lu be the prefect of Hanzhong?"

"You can rest assured that I have already told Yang Song about this matter. Yang Song said that my lord once agreed to let him be the prefect of Hanzhong. He is a very powerful person. Now that Zhang Lu has lost power, it is impossible for him to serve Zhang Lu again. Effectiveness." Lu Xun has seen through Yang Song's character in the past few days. Although he doesn't like Yang Song, Yang Song has made an indelible contribution to his establishment, so he still has to treat Yang Song favorably for the time being, and let Li Yuan handle it after the war is over. This person.

The next day, Lu Xun left [-] soldiers and horses for the forbidden city, and then led the remaining soldiers and horses to Chang'an, preparing to attack Chang'an with Ma Teng's army.Five days later, Li Yuan in Qiao County had received the good news from Lu Xun from Hanzhong. He was very happy to learn that Hanzhong had been captured by Lu Xun. Hanzhong was the most important turning point in this battle. Now that Hanzhong had been captured, they The chances of winning are greatly improved.

"Everyone, now Boyan has news from Hanzhong that they have successfully captured Hanzhong. This news is enough to inspire the whole army. The victory of our army is close at hand." Li Yuan told everyone about Lu Xun's news.

"My lord is really unique in employing people. General Lu can make great achievements at such a young age. I don't know how he took down Hanzhong, which was guarded by Zhuge Liang himself." Everyone was very curious, and they didn't know how Lu Xun took Hanzhong so quickly. .

"Bo Yan is really powerful. He first used tactics to transfer Zhang Fei and Zhong Yao away from Hanzhong, and then lured Guan Yu out of the city to ambush. Guan Yu was in ambush and Zhuge Liang had to come out to rescue. Boyan led his troops to attack from behind, cutting off Zhuge Liang's retreat. In the end, they were almost wiped out, and Xingba even killed Guan Yu on the battlefield. It is said that the battle was enough to shock the world and make ghosts and gods cry, but it is a pity that I was unable to see Xingba's demeanor in person." Li Yuan felt a little regretful about this.

"Guan Yu is Liu Bei's right-hand man. General Gan was able to kill him on the battlefield. He deserves to be one of the five generals in our army. He is really amazing!" Xi Zhicai couldn't help but beam with joy when he heard this.

"Well, but Xingba's left arm was also chopped off by Guan Yu. I'm afraid it will be difficult to go to the battlefield and fight bravely in the future." Li Yuan regretted that Gan Ning was a general he valued very much. Now that he lost an arm, He was worried that Gan Ning would be overwhelmed by this.Everyone felt sad for Gan Ning when they heard the news, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little dull.

Xi Zhicai comforted him, "Although General Gan lost his left arm, the Lord will rule the world soon after this battle. There will be no more wars at that time, so why should General Gan go to the battlefield again? I think he should enjoy it at home then." Live, meet and drink with us."

"Zhicai is right. After I rule the world, I will reward Xingba well." Li Yuan nodded in agreement.

Xi Zhicai deduced: "My lord, in addition to the news from Hanzhong, Ma Teng also brought news from Wuwei, saying that they have sent troops from Xiliang to attack Chang'an. Being able to join Ma Teng's army, Chang'an can be said to be within reach."

"It's not difficult to capture Chang'an, but Tongguan is really difficult. If you can't capture Tongguan, you won't be able to enter Yuzhou to support us, so attacking Tongguan is the top priority," Li Yuan had just finished speaking when the sound of horns suddenly sounded outside. "Shua" stood up, "Cao Cao's army is attacking again, it seems that he has begun to ignore the consequences of casualties, let's go out and have a look."

Li Yuan led the crowd to the city, and sure enough, he saw Cao Cao gathering troops and horses to attack the city again. Cao Cao has been attacking the city every day for more than half a month, and the number of casualties has reached more than 4, which is already a lot. , You must know that it has only been less than a month, and Li Yuanjun has lost more than 1 people, but it is much better than Cao Jun, and the defenders still have an absolute advantage.

In fact, Cao Cao also got the news that Hanzhong was breached not long ago, but only Cao Cao, Guo Jia and Xun You knew about this news, because they were worried that if the news spread, it would affect morale, so they didn't say it out, so he attacked Hanzhong regardless of casualties these days. If Qiao County can be captured, it can be used to offset the negative impact of the fall of Hanzhong.

"Zhicai, now our army is stronger than Cao Cao's. Do you think we should go out and fight Cao Cao now?" Li Yuan had this idea before, but Hanzhong had not been captured by Lu Xun at that time, and the strength of the troops Less than Cao Cao, so there is no risk, but now the situation is completely different, so he can already go out of the city to compete with Cao Cao.

"My lord, although we have the upper hand now, it's better to be on the safe side. Besides, Ma Teng hasn't broken through Tongguan yet, so we can't take too many risks. Relying on the city's defense is still the best strategy." Xi Zhicai did not hesitate. To persuade Li Yuan.
