When the Ming and Qin kings of the Han Empire formed an alliance in Xianyang City, a special character came secretly in the transmission array of Xia City.

The Huwei army and the Niangzi army are responsible for protecting the Xia Wangfu. When he comes to the Xia Wangfu, Dian Wei leads the tiger Wei to protect him from entering the Xia palace.

"Zhang Dao, you seem to have more grey hair."

Chutian is fishing in the arbor in the backyard. Chu Xuan, the eldest daughter, is agitating the water with a reed in her hand, interfering with Chutian's fishing.

Chu Tian turns a blind eye to his eldest daughter's practice, and he is not really fishing.

"Chu Tian, you are really leisurely. There will be a great war. This time, the Han Empire and all the tribes will take part in the war. I'm afraid that millions of people will die."

Zhang Dao sat in the pavilion sullenly, and arranged his robes.

Sitting on the veranda of the pavilion, Chu Xuan looks at the stranger curiously.

Zhang Dao hardly ever came to Xia Wangfu, but Chu Tian had contact with Zhang Dao before, but not so close.

Zhangdao's Hanzhong became a country of its own. Although there was no king, Zhang Dao said nothing in Hanzhong. Hanzhong was also the only small Kingdom established by the peasant army.

The strength of the peasant army was still too weak to occupy the whole of Yizhou.

However, if Zhang Dao occupied Yizhou, he would not be invited to see Chu Tian here.

Zhang Dao noticed Chu Tian's eldest daughter: "is this the eldest princess of Xia Wangfu?"

"I heard that you failed to attack Yizhou. General Li Zicheng was attacked by Guan Yu and seriously injured."

Chu Tian shifts his attention from fishing to Zhang Dao.

"Liu Bei and Yang Su are heroes in the first place, and Liu An and I can hardly compete with them. Yang Su's ability may have reached the imperial level. Liu Bei's charm is not only holy but also imperial. In fact, the peasant generals like Li Zicheng and Zhang Liang have great shortcomings. They are prone to arrogance and lack military discipline. You should know that. "

Zhang Dao is basically helpless.

The general of the peasant army was oppressed unilaterally in front of the steady and steady heroes.

"Give up the march to Yizhou, take Chencang Road, attack Longxi."

Chu Tian made a request to Zhang Dao.

Zhang Dao understood Chutian's meaning in an instant: "do you want me to attack Xiliang and put pressure on Guanzhong? However, the troops deployed by Lao Qin in Xiliang can not be easily provoked. "

"If Hanzhong can beat Xiliang, I think you have already sent troops to Liangzhou. Therefore, as long as the troops of the middle part of Qin Dynasty are delayed, some of them can be harassed. "

"How many soldiers do you want me to send, to what extent, and what benefits can I get?"

"With your special ability, it should be easy for you to maintain more than 100000 soldiers? At least we should hold on to the same forces. After taking Guanlong, you can be the king of Hanzhong. Of course, there is no name

"The king in name? That's the benefit? "

"Enfeoffment means endless war."

"No wonder not many people are willing to surrender to you and enjoy the feeling of the local emperor. It is not easy to give up their present status? However, I still promise you that Hanzhong is only a county and can not compete with you. "

Zhang Dao is indeed more than ten thousand people in Hanzhong. If he is granted the title of king, he will only enjoy the benefits in name, which is not the same as mastering real power.

But sooner or later, the Han Empire would be unified, and Zhang Dao had to consider his own future.

Perhaps, Chu Tian's statement is more true, because even if the promise is a king with real power, he will break down the bridge in the future, which has been the case since ancient times.

"Well, I'll go back to Hanzhong and prepare for the troops."

Zhang Dao only stayed in Xia Wangfu for a moment. How to organize the attack? Zhang Dao, as an active vassal, should have a clear idea.

Chu Tian doesn't think that Zhang Dao didn't want to attack Xiliang in ten years.

Hanzhong wants to expand, either attack Yizhou, or six out of Qishan.

"If Liu An can't resist Liu Bei, let him stop Liu Bei's expansion to Hanzhong. If Liu Bei got Yizhou, he would covet Hanzhong or Jingzhou. If you can't support it, ask me for reinforcements. "

"I have thought about that."

Zhang Dao said, and left Xia Wangfu.

"Xuan'er, we should go to dinner."

Chuxuan, put down the fishing rod.

There is no need to spend a lot of time talking with the princes at the level of Zhang Dao.

……

In Hanzhong, Nanzheng County, Zhang Dao came back from the transmission array, and there was also the wounded King Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng's hidden ambition value is very high, Zhang Dao also dare not trust Li Zicheng completely.

There are also many contradictions within the peasant army, which may be the reason why Zhang Dao has always been unable to beat Hanzhong.

There is no strong opponent in Hanzhong, but outside, no matter Liu Bei or Lao Qin, it is not easy to provoke.

"Hanzhong has a population of millions, and can recruit 100000 elite soldiers and hundreds of thousands of peasant troops. However, the Shu Road is difficult, and one man can hold the pass, and ten thousand people can't open it. I fought with Liu An and Liu Yan for many years, but I didn't expect to be rewarded by Liu Bei and Yang su. There are also Xiliang iron cavalry in the north. If ordinary peasant troops invade Xiliang, they will only be slaughtered by them. "Zhang Dao looks around the Ministry.

His ministry will be divided into several factions to check and balance each other.

The Yellow turban army is composed of Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao. The elite arms are yellow turban strong man, yellow turban chief and ordinary yellow turban soldiers.

The army of Chuang Wang is composed of Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, and song xiance. The elite arms are Dashun army, which is actually a slightly elite refugee.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. It is true that their chief generals are Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who call out that "the princes and Marquises will have their own kind". However, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's abilities are not so brilliant. Their role lies in their high popularity, so they have better characteristics.

Five Dou rice corps, Zhang Lu, Yang ang, Yang Ren and others are subordinate to the army. Zhang Dao annexed Zhang Lu's power, and wudoumi religion was also absorbed by Zhang Dao.

"We have recruited soldiers and horses. Each regiment has 50000 soldiers and horses, totaling 200000 troops. What I need is a good teacher, not a peasant army recruited temporarily. "

Zhang Dao knows how fast his group of explosive soldiers are.

However, the problem is that leading a group of refugees to attack Xiliang, regardless of the consumption of food, grass and weapons, fighting with Xiliang cavalry in Liangzhou is tantamount to seeking death.

Unless he can get a firm foothold in Xiliang, Zhang Dao will have a chance to directly explode his troops there.

The strengthening characteristics of the peasant army can be said to be a double-edged sword with both advantages and disadvantages.

"Are you still going to attack

Zhang Lu's face changed.

Liu Bei and Yang Su in Yizhou are not so mediocre. Their abilities are far better than those of Liu Yan and Liu Zhang.

"No, we are going to attack Xiliang."

"Crazy, crazy! How can our soldiers in Hanzhong compete with Xiliang cavalry? "

Zhang Lu is more cautious. It is said that Zhang Dao is going to attack Liangzhou, and his face is even worse.

Xiliang iron cavalry galloped in Liangzhou. It was more difficult for the cavalry in Hanzhong to compete with Xiliang steeds. Moreover, the good horse of Zhang Dao's power mainly came from the trade with some Qiang and di tribes in Longxi.

"In the Northern War, we joined the Xia Wang Camp."

Zhang Dao could not conceal his position and simply admitted it generously.

"King Xia..."

Zhang Liang, Li Zicheng and others were moved by it.

They knew that in the Northern War, all the princes needed to stand in line, and the Chu Tian forces were always harsh, and all the princes swallowed up the tigers.

This time, their Lord Zhang Dao still chose to stand by the king of Xia.

"Since the governor supports the king of Xia, he must attack Xiliang, which is the price that the governor needs to pay."

As a man of insight, Yanpu, a meritorious Cao, saw Zhang Dao's motive.

"The world is bustling, and we can't stay out of it. If it is, you will have a bright future in the future. "

After Zhang Dao finished, a group of peasant generals whispered.

Zhang Dao is their leader now, but he decides their future Lord.

Yan Pu asked, "what can soldiers do? Chen Cang road? Slope? Or the Meridian Road? "

"I wonder if it is feasible to take the Meridian Road directly to Chang'an?"

"No, the Meridian Road is narrow, and the road is hard. Chang'an has heavy troops. I'm afraid that if we don't arrive in Chang'an, we will spend a lot of food and grass, and wait for work in Guanzhong. Our army will plunge into the army of Guanzhong and disappear in an instant."

"Then according to my idea, take Chencang road and attack Longxi."

Zhang Dao gave up the meridian route proposed by Wei Yan in history.

Old Qin was not ordinary people. Chang'an and Xianyang hoarded heavy troops and took the Meridian Road, which was no different from giving away one's head.

He chose the more remote chencangdao to attack Longxi instead of Guanzhong.

Longxi was originally the territory of Xu Fengnian. Later, three of Xu Fengnian's subordinates defected and took refuge in Laoqin, who occupied Xiliang.

In other words, the ruling foundation of Lao Qin in Xiliang was not as stable as that in Guanzhong.

What Zhang Dao wants to attack is also the Xiliang area, which has a weak ruling foundation.

In Hanzhong, various peasant legions began to recruit elite soldiers and horses, not satisfied with the low-level peasant army.

The three lords in Longxi were greatly flustered when they learned of the movement of Hanzhong.

They vaguely noticed the movement of troops and horses in Hanzhong, which had something to do with Longxi.

Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan six times and attacked Longxi more than once. He wanted to obtain a stable stronghold after occupying Longxi and use Longxi's horses to attack Guanzhong.

"When we betrayed Xu Fengnian, we thought ahead of time that there would be today's disaster. Since we dare to do it, we should dare to do it. In any case, the troops of Hanzhong should not be allowed to capture Longxi. If it falls into the hands of Zhang Dao, who knows whether he will give us to Xu Fengnian? "

For fear of being captured by Zhang Dao, the three lords immediately set about preparing for any disturbance.

"The princes began to stand in line..."

Outside Jianye City, a huge warship is being built. It has a five story structure, which is more than 100 feet high. It looks like a giant.This is the bronze sparrow with points to exchange for the blueprint of the warship.

"With this warship, it is only a matter of time before the north and south of Jingzhou are cut off and Jingzhou is annexed."

Tongque boarded the unfinished large-scale building ship, which is a large ship used for inland water operations.
