The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 477 Earning Hanzhong Soldiers

Wu Dou Mi Sect believes in Taoism, respects Lao Tzu, and is known as the rule of inaction. Therefore, it spreads charity homes in Hanzhong to provide accommodation and food for passers-by.

But when Yuan Shang talked about any good things, everything changed. In his mouth, Yishe was not a facility that benefited the common people at all. Instead, it became a public-funded consumer place that packs free of bills and eats and drinks.

The country is now severely cracking down on eating and drinking. This kind of thinking was at the end of the Han Dynasty, and it will be placed in later generations... it is firmly not advocated.

After confirming that Zhang Lu would indeed send troops to Ziwu Valley to attack Chang'an, Yuan Jun began to make arrangements under Yuan Shang's arrangement.

Thirty-three thousand soldiers and horses of Yuan's army were all in ambush at the Zigu crossing in the north of Ziwu.

Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses lay in ambush for many days among the mountain peaks along the plank road on both sides of Zigukou, but none of Zhang Lu's soldiers arrived. Yuan Shang was not in a hurry, but his soldiers couldn't bear it any longer.

The one with the hottest temper is undoubtedly Ma Chao.

Inside the handsome tent, Yuan Shang was sitting on the table, with his legs crossed and trembling, holding a letter in his hand, and a cup of fragrant tea in his left hand, but the fragrance of tea filled the entire tent.

"My lord, we have been waiting here for a long time, but we have not seen a Hanzhong army coming. Is it true that Zhang Lu is not going to send troops to Ziwu Valley? If he doesn't come, we need to turn to Chang'an to fight Yan Xing immediately. I'm wasting my time here... To be honest, I wish I could kill that thief Yan Xing in the end!"

Yuan Shang turned his head and glanced at Ma Chao, who was filled with righteous indignation, shook his head, and sighed: "Don't worry, Zhang Lu will definitely come, but at a slower speed. From my guess, the area under the jurisdiction of Hanzhong and the ethnic minorities in Bazhou , there are fewer cavalry, most of them should be infantry, it is understandable that they move slowly, so why not give them some time?"

Hearing this, Ma Chao asked anxiously: "But how long will this be delayed? It is said that Yan Xing was furious because of a fiasco in Xianyang, and the soldiers and horses were sent to Chang'an, and the war will start immediately! Our side is Jing Hou Zhang Lu, but he doesn't care about Yan Xing, I'm afraid his morale will drop!"

"Don't worry, Hao Zhao is not that easy to deal with. It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. Yan Xing can't do anything about it. We have put up such a big formation. If we withdraw without even seeing each other, that's too much." It's embarrassing, bear with it and wait."

Ma Chao was silent for a long time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, saying: "Since this is the case, the general will arrange for his subordinates to make inspections, inquire about the situation in Ziwu Valley at any time, ambush Zhang Lu's army, and strive to capture the enemy in one battle!"

Yuan Shang blew on the steaming teacup and waved the bamboo slips in his hand: "Go, tell the soldiers, when Zhang Lujun arrives, kill less people and keep more alive, it is best not to kill any... In addition to the ethnic minorities in Bazhou, there are at least tens of thousands of people, if we recruit this new force and turn around to deal with Yan Xing, we will have the confidence!"

Ma Chao staggered when he heard this.

"What? No killing?"

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows: "Is it so difficult for you not to kill people? You are not Butcher Zhao!"

Ma Chao's cheeks twitched: "If you don't kill people, are you going to take all those tens of thousands of people?"

"I received tens of thousands of soldiers, not tens of thousands of wives, so why are you so surprised?"

Ma Chao snorted heavily, and said: "If you don't kill people, you can recruit people to surrender. I don't have the ability to do that! You can find someone else."

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said, "It's not that we don't kill people, but we kill less people."

"It doesn't matter if you kill less, the opponent has tens of thousands! If you don't kill him thousands of times, how can you achieve the effect of deterring the crowd. I can't fight this battle. I have to fight yourself."

Yuan Shang smiled helplessly, shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, don't be afraid of a leader who is like a donkey, but a subordinate who is like a pig...Of course this kind of thing doesn't apply to you, don't worry, you just need to follow the order, when the time comes, what should you do?" How to do it, Zhong Yao and I have our own plans."

Ma Chao frowned, thought carefully for a long time, and then asked weakly.

"What did you say just now, do you mean which of us is a pig and a donkey?"

"........."

*******************
After waiting for another four days, the Hanzhong soldiers and horses in Ziwu Valley finally appeared.

When the Hanzhong army arrived at Zigukou, it was dark clouds covering the moon, thunderstorms were about to fall, and the sky and the earth were dark.

Amidst the gloomy and rolling thunder, the [-] Hanba assembled army was slowly advancing towards the valley entrance of Zigu, and the cold westerly wind blew on the face, like a knife cutting through the bones.

The wind before the rain was blowing, mixed with a smell of grass, blowing on the face of the vanguard general who led the Hanba coalition army, as if there was a smell called danger.

The vanguard general swung his sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "The front army stops!"

This general is a general under the command of Puhu, the seven surnamed Yi kings of Bazhou. His name is Wang Ping, and his style name is Zijun.

The front vanguard all stopped in accordance with his order.

Wang Ping looked around and looked at the dangerous mountains on both sides of Zigu Road, feeling a sense of solemnity in his heart.

It wasn't because there was any sound that caught his attention, but because the voice in the valley was too quiet, so quiet that it made one's heart tremble.

When Wang Ping was looking around, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes from behind, but a herald hurriedly came from the rear to beat the horse, and shouted loudly while beating the horse: "Wang Ping! Wang Ping!"

Wang Ping turned his horse and looked directly at the herald, face to face.

"Wang Ping! The teacher and the king of Yi asked why Zhuo Qian's army stopped!"

Wang Ping cupped his hands, and said: "Trouble to return to the master and Yi Wang, Zigukou is in a bad condition, don't enter lightly!"

The herald's brows trembled, and he raised his eyes to look at Taniguchi in the distance.

"Wang Ping, don't try to disturb the morale of the army. I don't think there is anything..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Ping's face changed suddenly and his brows twitched slightly.

The dust on the ground seemed to be shaking, Wang Ping's heart tightened, he jumped off the horse, put his ears on the ground, and listened carefully.

From the direction of Taniguchi, there was a faint sound of rumbling footsteps, the sound became louder and louder, and the vibration became more and more intense, as if a monster buried in the ground was roaring and rushing towards the ground, as if it was about to break through the ground. out.

It was the sound of horses rushing to the ground.

Wang Ping looked nervous, got on his horse hastily, and said to the herald officer: "Quickly report to the department division and King Yi, there is an ambush at Taniguchi, all the generals are asked to prepare for battle!"

The herald had long since lost his arrogance, he nodded vigorously, turned his horse around, and was about to go back to report, but he heard the sound of shouts of killing from the direction of Taniguchi, as if countless soldiers and horses were rushing towards him. Come.

Wang Ping swung his saber horizontally, and ordered the soldiers behind him: "All soldiers, prepare the army for battle!"

On the mountainside next to Ziwu Valley, Pang De, a fierce general from Xiliang, was ordered to lie in ambush here. Hearing the sound of horseshoes at the mouth of the valley, a trace of coldness appeared on the corner of Pound's mouth. He waved his hand and shouted: "The fish has been hooked! Order to set fire to it!" !"

When the voice fell, there was a sound of arrows flying into the sky.

Between Sumeru, the soldiers on both sides of the mountain road still ignited the rolling balls made of wooden slats, ignited them, and then pushed these fireballs down the mountain.

As the fireball went down the ridge, the ambushes on both sides of the mountain road were all up for a while.

The Hanba coalition forces in the valley suddenly looked extremely shocked.

At this moment, thousands of iron cavalry led by Ma Chao had already rushed to the Hanzhong Army's formation like a storm.
