Shangyong City, northeast, thirty miles away.

"Captain Zhang, there's a small lake over there, just to replenish the water source, let's rest for a while!"

The army is like a long dragon walking on the rugged mountain road, and the captain Du Feng walked up and said bitterly to Zhang Liao, who was sitting in the Chinese army: "This road is too difficult to walk, today alone, we have climbed three mountains, and they are all mountain roads, and the soldiers are exhausted, and if we go on like this, our soldiers will be tired and fall!" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhang Liao thought for a while, his eyes swept in all directions, nodded and said: "If it goes on like this, it is indeed too physically exhausting, the whole army will rest for two hours, let all the soldiers rest on the spot, replenish the water source, eat some dry food, and then seize the time to recover their strength!" ”

"Also, generals above the military marquis, assemble!"

After he gave the order, he gathered most of the lieutenants and marquis to discuss the marching strategy.

The Jingping Army suffered a lot of casualties in the Battle of Guanzhong, the captain of the first battalion, Luo Ying, and the captain of the third battalion, Xie Yu, both died in battle, and the two battalions were also injured by more than two-thirds and were recuperating.

Now there are only the second, fourth, fifth, Shuofang battalions, Jingping battalions, and five battalions of combat effectiveness.

Chen Zhi took two battalions of soldiers and horses.

The remaining three battalions, all under the leadership of Zhang Liao, have a main force of more than 10,000, which is the most powerful force of the Jingping Army.

"We should be in this position now!"

Zhang Liao hugged everyone together, set up a wooden platform in the middle, and then spread out the marching map and pointed to the location among them: "There are at least thirty miles away from Shangyong, and these thirty miles, there are few official roads, most of them are mountain roads, but we must arrive at Shangyong before sunset tomorrow, how about it?" ”

"Captain Zhang, it's not impossible to speed up the march, so what should I do?" Huo Shao asked.

Huo Shao was the commander of the pro-guard battalion, and later the position of the pro-guard battalion was taken over by the Divine Guard, so he was useless as a hero, not to mention that he couldn't beat Zhang Ning, even if he could beat it, he didn't dare to beat this aunt and grandmother, so he could only pinch his nose and find another way out.

Later, the guard battalion was changed to the Jingping battalion, which was the main battalion of Jingping, and the army was expanded, and he also pulled Zhang Huo in, and wanted to swallow Zhang Huo's reserve camp composed of Wubeitang students in one go, but his plan was not successful, Zhang Liao Chen, Du Feng Mobao, are not good at stubble, this Zhang Huo established the Wubeitang in Bishui Pass, that group of students experienced the Kanto War, the bloody battle in Guanzhong, but they were all sought-after officers, and they were finally divided.

However, the Jingping battalion has always been the main battalion in the name of the Jingping Army, and Mu Jing was embarrassed to let his personal guard general start from scratch, so he still shifted slightly, and half of the students of this part of the Wubeitang fell into Huo Shao's hands.

Huo Shao absorbed a lot of remnants of the first and third battalions, and then levied some young and strong, and this Jingping battalion was established.

However, compared with the main force Shuofang Battalion and the Second Battalion, the Jingping Battalion is far from having enough combat effectiveness, and is now responsible for the transportation of baggage and grain, and in the whole army, it is responsible for logistics.

"Baggage?"

Zhang Liao was also thinking about this, he pondered for a long time, and said, "Now there is only one way!" “

"How?"

Du Feng and Huo Shao hurriedly asked.

"Shuofang Battalion and the Second Battalion went first, gave up all the baggage, only brought weapons and battle armor, went into battle lightly, and rushed to the battlefield as soon as possible, while the Jingping Battalion continued to escort these baggage and food, and hurried behind!" Zhang Liao said.

"That's one way!"

Du Feng nodded.

"But Lord Captain, if the Jingping camp is attacked and someone cuts off our food route, wouldn't it be troublesome!" A military marquis asked a key problem.

With the current combat effectiveness of the Jingping battalion, coupled with the baggage, once it encounters an attack, it will definitely be defeated.

"Don't underestimate our Jingping Camp!"

A military marquis of the Jingping battalion said indignantly.

"Captain Zhang, the lord has given an order, let you command military affairs, I will listen to you!" Huo Shao arched his hand, faced Zhang Liao, and said in a deep voice: "But please believe me, the Jingping camp will not disgrace the Jingping army, I will definitely protect these burdens and grain and grass and send them to the battlefield!" ”

"Good!"

Zhang Liao nodded, he patted Huo Shao's shoulder, and said: "I believe in you, and I also believe in the combat effectiveness of the Jingping battalion, as long as you send the baggage and grain and grass to the battlefield within three days, even if you complete the task!" ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Huo Shao nodded heavily.

After resting for two hours, Zhang Liao and Du Feng led the army to set off, this time they traveled lightly, but they walked very quickly, rushed to the mountain road, marched day and night, and walked in the direction of Shangyong.

…………

……

In the direction of the western suburbs of Shangyong City, about fifty miles.

There was also a troop of horses on the march.

"General, I'm so tired, what a broken road, it's better to take a rest!"

"Rest?"

Yang Bai rode on horseback, looked at the hunt, looked ahead, and said coldly: "Now that Shangyong doesn't know life and death, how can we rest!" ”

"General, the soldiers are physically exhausted, and when they arrive at the battlefield, they are like lambs, not only can they not exert their combat effectiveness, but they will even affect the situation on the battlefield.

An adjutant general bowed his hand and exhorted in a low voice.

When Yang Bai heard this, he thought about it and said, "Then rest for an hour!" ”

"No!"

When the generals heard this, they were all overjoyed and quickly passed the order.

"Hongwen, how is the situation of Shangyong now?"

After Yang Bai stopped, he did not rest, he stared at the marching map, looked at the surrounding terrain, and was rapidly fighting the situation.

"Shangyong City must have been lost, but Zhang Suo and Zhang Wei, I think their forces should have been preserved, and they are waiting to join us, and then jointly attack Shangyong and recapture Shangyong!"

Yang Xu is a civil official, he wears a Confucian robe, wears a scarf, rides a horse beside Yang Bai, is a strategist for Yang Bai, and is also Yang Bai's cousin, a member of the Yang clan.

The Yang family is also a scholar family, but they have worshiped the Heavenly Master Dao for generations and have been Taoist disciples from generation to generation.

"But ......"

He thought for a while and said, "Zhang Wei has always been impulsive, he may attack Shangyong and fight a bloody battle, in this way, the elite under his command will inevitably suffer heavy damage!" ”

"Not necessarily!"

Yang Bai shook his head: "Zhang Wei is impulsive, I know, but Zhang Suo is a person, not to be underestimated, although he has lost his mediocrity, but he is just anxious, once he calms down, he will not be so easily fooled, he can suppress Zhang Wei!" “

"Hopefully!"

Yang Xu said in a low voice, he was not as optimistic as Yang Bai, he suddenly said: "General, this time the remnants of the Mu clan suddenly entered Hanzhong, does it have anything to do with Liu Yizhou!" ”

"Hongwen, why do you think so?"

Yang Bai's eyes flashed with a gleam.

Although Zhang Lu's subordinates all knew that Zhang Lu and Liu Yan were on the verge of a break, the people below basically didn't know that who didn't think that Zhang Lu was Liu Yan's Yizi who was the most loved.

"I guess!" Yang Xu said: "The remnants of the Mu clan dare to kill in, and the official residence of Yizhou Mu does not have the slightest reaction, which means that this is what Liu Yizhou allows, so they dare to kill in, otherwise with their troops, they will defeat us, will they dare to fight with Liu Yizhou?" “

"You can guess this for yourself, don't say it!"

Yang Bai said.

"Really?"

"Lord Shijun is too anxious, and now Liu Yizhou is dissatisfied, and it should be, but it is not yet to break up, and the remnants of the Mu clan want Hanzhong, but they just want a place to recuperate, how can they be tolerated!"

Yang Bai said coldly: "In this battle, Liu Yizhou will not interfere, they will not help us, and they will not help the remnants of the Mu family, whoever wins will be the lord of Hanzhong, it's as simple as that!" ”

"I see!"

Yang Xu suddenly realized: "I thought that if I defeated Zhang Xiu, I would be able to control Hanzhong, but I didn't expect another remnant of the Mu clan, the Mu clan was defeated in Guanzhong, and even Mu Xiangguo was killed on the spot, the elite under his command, the dead died, the ran away, and there were not many remnants who could escape back to Nanyang, this time, they blatantly attacked Hanzhong, I think they were forced to be cornered!" ”

"How?"

Yang Bai squinted, his eyes flashing brightly.

"Nanyang has Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu is the son of the Yuan family, he is in Yuzhou, the soldiers are strong and strong, how can it be that these remnants of the Mu clan can contend with, so they are finding out!"

Yang Xu said: "Actually, if it were me, I would write a letter to inform Nanyang, and at that time, Hanzhong and Nanyang will jointly send troops, and they will be able to exterminate the remnants of this Mu clan!" ”

"That's one way!"

Yang Bai's eyes were bright and bright: "Hongwen, you quickly write a letter, I will be a master of the master!" ”

"No!"

Yang Xu nodded and took the order, and immediately picked up a pair of bamboo slips and wrote in ink.

……

……

Shangyong City.

The Great War is ongoing.

But the battlefield has been confined to the top and bottom of the city walls, but has extended beyond the city.

"What did you say?"

In the evening, Zhang Suo was observing the battle under the city wall, when he suddenly heard a report from his subordinates, and his pupils changed color: "There is a force in the rear wing, which is sneaking up on our grain and grass warehouse?" ”

"Exactly!"

This blood-stained military marquis gave up his hand and reported: "Lord County, my battalion is almost unstoppable, you quickly send troops to reinforce!" ”

"Someone!"

Zhang Suo shouted: "Drum gathering!" ”

Knock knock knock!!!

At the sound of drums, the entire barracks moved.

Zhang Suo had already ridden his horse and galloped, and he said as he ran to the rear: "Sons, there is a thief army in our rear camp, now let's go and destroy them!" ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers and horses are now holding back their anger, and they are all bursting with murderous intent.

"My lord, the soldiers and horses have come back!"

"Withdraw!"

Zhang Shi ordered: "The whole battalion obeys the order, retreat to the small mountain town, don't fight with them, we have to lead them and beat them!" ”

"Yes!"

The generals were ordered, and the fifth battalion won a blow and withdrew its troops back.

"Withdrawn?"

Zhang Suo was completely angry, he always felt a sense of grievance, he wanted to calculate the city, but before he could do it, the city made a move, so that he could only see the move, he was furious: "Give me a pursuit!" ”
