Chapter 722

Liu Ye is not polite to Ma Teng and Fazhen. He goes directly into Chang'an city. For a period of time, he stays in Chang'an city to review the troops coming from all over the pass, as well as the grain and grass transported from all parts of Guanzhong to make final preparations for the army in Guanzhong.

At this time, Hanzhong, Nanzheng.

"Did Liu Ye really send troops?"

A man on the seat is white and has three long whiskers under his jaw. He looks like a fairy. However, he looks worried. He is the current leader of the wudoumi cult. He is Zhang Lu, who claims to be the prefect of Hanzhong.

"That's right. It's said that the leading general is Zhang jaw of Zhennan general under Liu Ye's tent." Yan Pu, the master of merit, returned.

Zhang Lu was startled: "but the one who defeated the forty thousand Jingzhou army with less than one?"

"This is the man."

Yan Pu said: "it is said that the jaw has mobilized 50000 troops in Nanyang and will attack Shangyong and Xincheng and attack Hanzhong from the south."

Seeing Zhang Lu's dignified face, his brother Zhang Weiman stood up and cried out: "what are you afraid of, brother? It's just an open jaw. The leader's 50000 is nothing but a false claim. At most, it's only twenty or thirty thousand people. We Han Zhong army are not afraid of them. "

"Please! With 20000 soldiers and horses, the jaw will be blocked from entering the middle of our Han Dynasty. "

Zhang Wei Baoquan Dao.

Seeing Zhang Wei take the initiative to fight, Zhang Lu nodded happily, but he did not immediately agree to him, but looked at Yan Pu with questioning eyes.

"Yan Gongcao, what do you think of Zhang Wei's troops against Zhang jaw?"

Yan Pu is the chief adviser under Zhang Lu's command. If Zhang Lu wants to do anything, he must first ask Yan Pu and rely on him.

Yan Pu did not move his face, but sighed: "Zhang jaw is a famous general, and he changes his military skills. If the two generals are able to guard against his death, keep his walls clear and clear, and do not take the initiative to fight, it will be fine to block Zhang jaw."

Zhang Lu nodded with satisfaction, but Zhang Wei was a little unconvinced. He had a good place and was familiar with the geographical situation of Hanzhong and Shangyong. If he went to war, he might be able to catch Zhang jaw off guard.

"That..."

Zhang Lugang wanted to make a decision, but was interrupted by Yan Pu.

"My only worry is that Liu Ye will send heavy troops to attack Yangping pass."

As soon as Yan Pu said this, Zhang Luton was changed.

Yangpingguan is a barrier to the east of Hanzhong. Built on the mountain, it is extremely solid. A thousand troops can garrison it, which is enough to defend several times the enemy. It is precisely because of the control of Yangping pass that Zhang Lu can be so confident. However, if Liu Ye pours out all his forces to attack Yangpingguan, then the main force of Hanzhong will go southward to Shangyong. How can he resist the surging army of Guanzhong?

"Will Liu Ye attack Shangyong and Yangpingguan at the same time?" Zhang Wei muttered.

"Two generals, that's exactly what happened." Yan Pu explained: "Liu Ye's style of war has always been like this. In the battle of Meiji and Yecheng, the world is determined by the first World War. Now that the Liangzhou army is strong and strong, Liu Ye, since he has moved his mind to Hanzhong and absolutely wants to beat down the drum, how could Liu Ye just send out all the troops to entangle with our army?"

"So... What do you do?"

Zhang Lu was flustered, and the beads of sweat the size of soybean rolled down from his forehead. He didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Shijun, have you not fallen?" One side is silent Yang song suddenly way.

"Surrender?"

"The great general has a large number of troops and abundant food and grass in the sea. He has six prefectures, but Hanzhong is only two counties. Even if we are militarized, how can we compete with the general?" Yang Song advised.

Zhang Lu did not speak, but Zhang Wei was furious.

"Well, Yang Song, how can you persuade my brother to surrender? If you have been demoted, you can still be ministers. How can you live

"Shijun, it may not be impossible to fall down." Yan Pu was dull.

Zhang Lu was surprised and looked at him and said, "Yan Gongcao, do you also advise someone to surrender?"

"To surrender, but not now."

Yan Pu said: "if our army were to surrender now, it would be a pity for Liu Ye. Therefore, our army should resolutely resist, consume the strength of the Liangzhou army, and then ask for demotion. At that time, not only his face would be much better, but Liu Ye would not dare to look down on the division king, so his treatment would naturally be different."

"Our followers are all over the two counties, and they regard Shijun as their spiritual leader. In order to stabilize the rule of the two counties, Liu Ye must also put his teacher in important position. At that time, he will only submit in name. Why not do it?"

After hearing Yan Pu's words, Zhang Lu couldn't help nodding, but Yang Song's eyes flashed a trace of jealousy. They were also persuading surrender. How could they be treated differently?

"Well... What Yan Gongcao said is very reasonable. It seems that he must do so."

Zhang Lu thought for a while and finally made a decision.

"Where is Zhang Wei?"

Zhang Wei was overjoyed and hurried forward. He clapped his fist and said, "at the end of the day, do you dare to ask elder brother what you want?"

"If you lead 20000 troops to the superior mediocrity, you must hold fast to resist the sharp edge of the jaw and defend the south of Hanzhong. Do you understand?"Zhang Lu specially told Zhang Wei to be careful. Naturally, he knew his brother's character and was impulsive and reckless. However, when the disaster happened, Zhang Wei was the most reliable member of his family, so he naturally sent Zhang Wei to the army.

"I will obey you."

"Well."

Zhang Lu nodded, and then looked to the right one of the soldiers, who were half dressed in battle robes and covered with armor, with a face full of whiskers.

"Yang Ren." Zhang Lu opened his mouth and said, "I will give you ten thousand troops. No matter how many troops Liu Ye sent out from Guanzhong, you must keep Yangping pass. Can you do that?"

Yang Ren looks rough and bold. He stands up and says in a loud voice: "please don't worry, Mr. Shi. Even if Liu Ye has a million soldiers, Yang Ren will certainly hold his death in Yangpingguan, and he can't move in inch!"

Thirty thousand troops are basically all mobile troops and horses in Hanzhong county. Although Zhang Lu is light on taxes and taxes, people from all over the country come to attach to him. But in fact, there are only two counties under his jurisdiction. It is basically the limit of Hanzhong to raise 30000 troops.

The reason why Zhang Wei was given 20000 troops and 10000 troops to Yang was that Yangpingguan was a natural danger. It can be said that as long as Yang Ren led the army to stick to it, no matter how brave and brave a general and how brave and fearless elite soldiers were, it would be impossible to break through Yangping pass in a short time.

The direction of Shangyong is different. Shangyong does not have the natural danger of Yangpingguan. Zhang jaw can lead the army straight in. Therefore, Zhang Wei needs more troops. Otherwise, once Shangyong county falls, the south of Hanzhong will be in danger.

"A month!"

Zhang Lu stares at Zhang Wei and Yang Ren and says firmly: "you must stick to it for a month, and then you will send an envoy to surrender."
