Hu Zhen is the governor of Nanyang, although he has not yet fought with Hu Qian, but from this matter, Liu Chan can clearly see the characteristics of Hu Zhen's use of soldiers.

This place is close to Wuguan, and Hu Qian, as the governor of Nanyang, not only has to prevent the Han army in Jingzhou, but also the direction of Wuguan. Therefore, it is not uncommon to understand the terrain here.

But Hu Zhen did not send troops to intercept the Han army here, what does this mean? It shows that Hu Zhen did not dare to fight the Han army, and was afraid that sending troops over to fight the Han army would lose his troops.

Therefore, Hu Zhen's strategic proposition should be to avoid war, use the city to deal with the Han army, and fight a delaying war, and the Han army as the attacking party, the grain and grass will be transported from other places, and the consumption will definitely be greater than that of the Wei army stationed in the homeland.

If the Han army wants to take Nanyang, it has to take the city before the grain and grass are exhausted, and then it depends on whether the spear of the Han army is sharp, or the shield of the Wei army is strong. As for other combat strategies, Hu Zhen did not consider them at all.

Knowing Hu Zhen's strategic proposition, the Han army is targeting it, and it will be much easier to take Nanyang.

Now the spring flowers are blooming, here is located between the mountains, there are torrents and turbulent stones, lush forests and bamboos, between the mountains, there are many wild flowers in full bloom, Liu Chan led the generals to enjoy the scenery on the road for a while, Zhang Ren sent someone to pass the message in front, saying that the camp was established, please Liu Chan to rest.

After resting for the night, the army continued to set off, and after two more days, the army finally left the valley and came to the Nanyang Basin.

After arriving in the plains, Liu Chan ordered the generals: "It's noon now, let the soldiers rest and bury the pot to cook." ”

"No!"

The soldiers and horses stopped to rest, but after a long time, they made a meal and brought it to Liu Chan to enjoy first. Liu Chan and the generals gathered together, and after eating, Zhang Ren spread the map on the ground, pointed to the map and said: "Your Majesty has gone out of the valley area, and there are more cities near here, you can see ......"

Liu Chan heard the words and looked at the map, the army marched along the Danshui to Nanyang, and there were more than 200 miles to the South Danshui before it joined the Han River, but looking at the map, this section of the river is located in the city near the Danshui, but there are as many as four or five, as for other areas, the city is densely packed and marked on the map can not be seen clearly.

In the heyday of the Han Dynasty, Nanyang was the largest county in the world, and the population was the largest in the Han Dynasty, with millions of people.

Zhang Ren asked Liu Chan, "Your Majesty, how do you say you should march?" ”

Liu Chan sighed and said: "There is not much grain and grass in Guanzhong, this expedition, we have carried 20 days of grain, and now there are only 15 days left, so we must go to Fancheng first, and join the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou to replenish grain and grass." ”

All the generals nodded when they heard this.

Liu Chan looked at the map, thought for a while and said: "Hanshui has three branches, Danshui, Junshui, and Calcium Water, and the three rivers converge in one river, which is called Hanshui, which separates Xiangfan.

Our troops are divided into three routes, Zhang Ren, you lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to Junshui, and go south along Junshui to recover the cities, Deng Ai, you lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to Hanshui, and subdue the cities along the calcium water, and I lead an army to advance along Danshui. At that time, we will meet in Fancheng. ”

Deng Ai looked at the map and said: "If the cities near the three major rivers are recovered, it can basically be regarded as taking the western part of Nanyang and recovering thirty percent of Nanyang." ”

Soon, the army ate and rested, Deng Ai and Zhang Ren each led 3,000 soldiers and horses to leave, one left and one right in the direction of Junshui and Calcium Water.

Liu Chan, on the other hand, did not have to go in other directions, but only continued along the Danshui.

Deng Ai and Zhang Ren had just left, and Liu Chan also planned to lead the army to continue advancing.

Huang Xu said to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, the last general has just checked the map, less than twenty miles south of here, it is Danshui County, please give the last general a thousand cavalry, let the last general seize Danshui County first, Your Majesty will lead the army behind, and when Your Majesty arrives in Danshui City, you can directly enter the city to rest." ”

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Well, you lead the army!" ”

"No!"

When Huang Xu heard this, he waved his hand, and led more than 1,000 cavalry to the direction of Danshui County, while Liu Chan led the army to move slowly in the rear.

But after a while, Huang Xu led his troops to the city of Danshui, he urged his horse out, came to the city and shouted: "I am the general of the Han Dynasty to conquer the south, Huang Xu is also, don't hurry up and surrender!" ”

There are only a hundred and ten defenders on the head of the city, and they are still county soldiers, not war soldiers. However, the defenders at the head of the city were not frightened by Huang Xu's name, and the county lieutenant waved his hand and shouted to the soldiers on the left and right: "Shoot me!" ”

Huang Xu was naturally not afraid, and with a wave of his long knife, he knocked the flying arrows away, and immediately returned to the army.

Huang Xu looked at the enemy troops on guard at the head of the city, and said angrily: "It's really hateful, only one hundred and ten soldiers and horses, but they dare to resist stubbornly, are you really not afraid of death?" ”

There are only more than 100 defenders in the city, and it is not troublesome to take the city, as long as you fight a few ladders, Huang Xu personally leads the troops to climb, and you can take the city in one round of attack.

But Liu Chan is twenty miles behind, and it is estimated that he will be able to reach here in one or two hours, and Huang Xu brought all the cavalry, and there is no ladder, if the ladder is built now, when Liu Chan arrives, this city is likely to have not been taken down.

He boasted in front of Liu Chan just now, and when Liu Chan arrived, he could go directly to the city to rest.

A cavalryman urged his horse forward and said to Huang Xu, "General, let's go cut down trees and build a few ladders now." ”

Huang Xu didn't respond to the cavalry, looked at the city and shouted: "There are only 100 defenders in your city, and the general only needs to attack, how can you resist it?" I advise you to open the city and surrender quickly, otherwise the city will be broken, and you will not be left behind. ”

When the county lieutenant heard this, he responded: "The general is a little restless, some time ago, Hu Dudu sent troops to pick up our family, and there was an order to pass down, if the Shu army comes to attack, our defenders must hold on for half a month, if there is no reinforcement to rescue, surrender after half a month will not harm the family."

If you surrender early, it will cause disaster to your family, please wait for half a month, and after half a month, we will surrender to Kaiseong. ”

Huang Xu said angrily when he heard this: "It's a mere plan to delay the army, An Neng will hide it from me, and surrender the city quickly, otherwise don't blame me for attacking." ”

The county lieutenant sighed and responded: "If we surrender now, our wives and children will definitely not be killed, and if the general wants to attack, we can only fight hard to save the lives of our wives and children." ”

Huang Xu turned his head and shouted at the cavalry under his command: "Quickly build a ladder, Ben will personally lead the troops to attack the city!" ”

"No!"

Soon the cavalry dispersed and went to the nearby mountains and forests to cut down trees and build ladders.

The ladder for siege has a ladder and an ordinary ladder, the manufacture of the ladder is more troublesome, and the ordinary ladder, cut two long logs, cut some short wood, and tie them to the long logs, this is not troublesome.
