three kings

Chapter 191

"You..." Zhang Lu was furious when he heard Guo Jia's words. Just as he wanted someone to expel him, Yan Pu said first: "Mr. Feng Xiao misunderstood, my lord is a hero. Love talent, respect Cai, I know that you have armored soldiers in your breasts, and you are unparalleled in strategy, so I treat you with this great gift. It is definitely not a surrender to your army."

In the first round of confrontation, it was obvious that Guo Jia had the upper hand.

Guo Jia glanced at the figure behind the tent, smiled pointedly, and said, "Master Zhang really appreciates it. He sent so many guards to protect him. It's a great honor, a great honor."

Zhang Lu couldn't help but blushed a little, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Where, where, sir, you are a great talent, so naturally you should protect him well. I don't know why Mr. Feng Xiao's presence is important!"

"Oh, that's right. The business is important." Guo Jia had a sudden realization, and said arrogantly: "My lord asked me to fight. He said that Mr. Zhang is also a hero in the area. Don't be defeated, just let me coming."

"Crack!" Zhang Lu slapped the desk suddenly, and said angrily, "What an arrogant boy, if you want to fight, just fight. Think Zhang Lu is scared of me? Go back and tell Sun Can that in the future, I will take his item." Get on the head."

All the generals around Zhang Lu stared angrily, one of the generals with rough appearance shouted: "The little envoy is so rude, take him to pick his ears and nose, let him go back."

Guo Jia laughed loudly, ignoring everyone's expressions.

"It seems that Master Sun and my master are not good at all, right?" Yan Pu has a good temper and can't help being angry, but he hasn't lost his mind yet and responded coldly.

"Haha! How could it be no good? Liu Zhang has already sent envoys to our army to meet with my lord, General Zhennan, and promised that as long as my lord goes to Hanzhong with him, when he acquires the treasure land of Hanzhong in the future, he will share half of the Hanzhong army rations with me. Army, pay tribute every year, and also help our army capture Jingzhou, isn’t that good?” Guo Jia opened his eyes wide, talking nonsense.

Silence, silence.

After Guo Jia's words came out, the big tent fell silent. Everyone here knew the relationship between Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu, and everyone knew the strength of Liu Zhang's army.Ever since Zhang Ren guarded Xiameng Pass, they have not won. Even if Yan Pu, who is familiar with the military strategy, came to the front line, it was only a tie.

If it is attacked at this time, Hanzhong must be in danger.Fighting on two fronts is all harm but no benefit.

"Mr. Feng Xiao, are you serious?" Zhang Lu felt a little chilled when he heard it, and quickly let go of his prejudices, and asked with a guilty conscience.

"Humph," Guo Jia said arrogantly again: "That's not true. My lord has already agreed to Liu Zhang's request and is preparing troops. Soon, he will lead an army of [-] to fight."

"This..." There was more and more cold sweat on Zhang Lu's forehead, and his expression became unknowingly frustrated.The more arrogant Guo Jia was, the more arrogant his aura would be relatively weakened.He no longer had any courage and confidence to fight, and all his thoughts went back to his hometown in Hanzhong.Feeling regretful and anxious, he could only stare at Yan Pu, hoping that the chief counselor would solve the problem by himself.

In the current situation, Yan Pu also had no choice but to fight on the two fronts, he would definitely lose. Whether it was Sun Can or Liu Cock's veterans Yan Yan and Zhang Ren, they were not easy to deal with.

If Sun Can really held back his army, Hanzhong would definitely change hands within three months.At that time, they will become thieves without a stronghold.

But?Why did Guo Jia disclose such an important military aircraft and let them know?Is it not good to sneak attack?Could it be...

Yan Pu suddenly realized, and only then did he understand Guo Jia's intentions.

So it turns out, what a Guo Jia, he deceived us all.However, what he said was not unreasonable. There is only one mountain road between Hanzhong and Jingzhou, and it is inconvenient to go back and forth for rescue.

However, our army occupied Shangyong and Fangling, which was a real threat to Sun Canjun.

Therefore, Sun Can will not rashly go south until the crisis of our army is resolved.So, let Guo Jia persuade us to leave.

Guo Jia's words, although they are lies, are also warning us.If we don't retreat, then Sun Can will unite with Liu Zhang to wipe out our army.Then go south, although they have no friendship with Liu Zhang, but Liu Zhang and the lord are feuds, and they should not give up the opportunity to destroy our army.

Think here.Only then did he stabilize his fluctuating heart, but he didn't dare to be careless, his death spot was already held in the other party's hands, if he didn't know the way, he would be the only one who would suffer in the end.

At that moment, he bowed to Zhang Lu and said: "My lord, it is time to hesitate. You should immediately write a letter to General Zhennan and discuss peace with him. Only in this way can you keep Hanzhong intact."

"Is it feasible?" Zhang Lu looked at Yan Pu as if grasping at a straw.

Yan Pu said confidently: "As long as the lord presents Shangyong and Fangling as gifts and shows sincerity, Sun Can will definitely not embarrass our army."

"This..." Zhang Lu was somewhat reluctant. Shangyong and Fangling were the cities he conquered by himself. Although they were not very rich, they were unwilling to give them to others.However, if you choose between Hanzhong Laochao and Shangyong and Fangling, you can only choose Hanzhong. Therefore, Zhang Lu just hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Okay!"

Then, Zhang Lu asked Yan Pu to write a peace agreement with thousands of characters, and handed it to Guo Jia, and also gave Guo Jia a pair of precious jades, asking him to say something nice.

Three days later, Sun Can signed his name on the peace agreement and successfully took over the two counties of Shangyong and Fangling.

After taking over the two counties of Shangyong and Fangling, Sun Canxiao said to Guo Jia: "Soldiers are not bloody, but they all serve the merits of filial piety."

Zhang Lujun's retreat made Sun Canjun no worries, and Sun Can and others devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the upcoming Xiangfan battle.

***********************
Xiangyang City.

"It's really strange. Sun Canjun has already set up formations outside the city, but there is no sign of attacking the city." Guan Ping stood at the top of the city, looking at Sun Canjun's army stronghold covered with banners, and raised his own doubts , "Do they have any other plans."

"Brother Ping, do you really want to go out for a fight?" Liu Feng did not know when he stood behind Guan Ping.

"Of course!" Guan Ping didn't hide his desire to fight, and said truthfully: "I don't want to fight for the first time in my life, just huddled in this small city, like a turtle..."

Guan Ping, who is young and victorious, hopes to compete with the enemy on the battlefield in an upright manner.For defending the city gates, deep ditches and barriers are battles for defending the city, he who is inexperienced will only think that this is an act of cowardice.

"What are you discussing?" Xu Shu walked over from afar. With his eyesight, it is not difficult to see that these two new generals have extraordinary potential. If they are properly taught, they will definitely be two outstanding generals in the future.

Therefore, Xu Shu paid great attention to them, often instructing them in the art of war and the way of marching.

And the two also admired Xu Shu very much.

"Military Master, I wonder if it is possible to go out of the city to fight. Although the enemy's army is densely packed in the formation, it is impossible to measure the strength of the opponent's strength by visual inspection. Whether it is false or real, it depends on fighting. Do you know?" Guan Ping had long thought of going to war.

Xu Shu shook his head and said: "Sun Can is a man who uses soldiers like a god. He not only has the style of a king, but also has the talent of a king. When it comes to marching and deploying tactics, no one in the world can match him. Ask for trouble. No one can predict what he will do." Although he was hostile, Xu Shu's words were still full of admiration for Sun Can.

"Compared to Cao Cao, how is Sun Can?" Guan Ping said suddenly.

"It's impossible to compare. Both of them are the strange men of the world, the masters of the world. One is better at using soldiers, and the other is good at strategy. Whoever wins and who loses depends on God's will....Why do you ask?" Xu Shu said with emotion about the future. Yu, and some doubts.

"It's nothing, it's just that when I was traveling, I saw passing through Yanzhou and saw Cao Cao's army. They are all elite and brave, and they are not weaker than Sun Can's army in front of us." Guan Ping thought of the brave army he saw when he was in Yanzhou, and couldn't help but Secretly envious, he thought: "When will I be able to lead an equally brave army?"

Liu Bei's residence.

"My lord, how are the soldiers preparing?" Xu Shu said goodbye to Liu Feng and Guan Ping, two young generals, and came to Liu Bei's mansion.

"It's going well so far!" Liu Bei asked, "Do we have to do this? The walls of Xiangyang City are high and thick. If the stalemate continues, there is no chance of winning?"

"Yes, my lord. The bigger and stronger Yuan Shao is in the north, Sun Can urgently needs Jingzhou for his development, so encircling the city is one of the most stupid ways. We must prepare the most elite and best soldiers in secret. Let It will lead us to break through the siege when necessary." Xu Shu said very seriously, in his eyes, defending Xiangyang to death is the only way to die.Now he can only find a new way out for Liu Bei.

It's a pity that he is only good at strategy, but not strategic foresight.If you think about it, you can't do it like Xun Yu and Lu Su, everything is under control.

***************
Sun Can Barracks.

"Now that you are called here, I think you should know why?" Sun Can glanced at the crowd and said, "A speedy battle is the most important thing right now. Therefore, I decided to divide my troops into two groups to defeat Xiangfan."

"The first route is led by Xu Huang to stay in the village and wait for orders, and everything is under Wenhe's orders." Sun Can issued the first order.

"Keep in mind the general's orders!" For military orders, Xu Huang has always followed them without hesitation.

"Others, follow me to attack Nanjun." Sun Can left 2 people for Xu Huang, and took the remaining [-] to kill Nanjun.

Due to a change in the plan, Sun Can's plan to attack Nanjun was changed to attacking Nanjun in the Ming Dynasty.As long as Nanjun is trapped, when Xiangyang City is broken, why worry about Nanjun not surrendering.
