However, it was said that Xu Huang took Liu Pi and Gong Du as his deputy generals and Yan Pu as his military advisor, and led an army of 50,000 to kill Pemba County.

During the march, Yan Pu said to Xu Huang: "There are many heroes in Xichuan, even if Pang Xi and the Dongzhou people think that they should be internal, the general is not to be underestimated. ”

"On the march, the general should refrain from the three armies, so as not to disturb the people, so as not to lose the hearts of the people."

Xu Huang replied: "What the military advisor said is very good, but in fact, the military law in my Guanzhong is strict, and the lord strictly prohibits the soldiers from plundering the people. But those who disobey military orders will be beheaded immediately; If the generals do not restrain the soldiers, they will be beheaded together. ”

"Even if the military advisor doesn't remind me, I will restrain my subordinates so that they don't offend the people."

As Xu Huang said, in the process of the army's march, there was no offense in the autumn. Even though individual cities were unwilling to surrender, the Guanzhong army did not disturb the people after the city was broken.

Of course, the ordinary county town was just an insignificant obstacle to the 50,000 army under Xu Huang's command.

In the face of the strong military appearance of the Guanzhong soldiers, even if the county order was unwilling to surrender, there were many Dongzhou people who killed the county order to surrender. In addition, although Ba County is large, there are not many cities.

Therefore, the Guanzhong army was like a bamboo all the way, and it quickly attacked the Dianjiang River.

Dianjiang is only five days away from Jiangzhou, the seat of Ba County, and Xu Huang led the army all the way south to attack, and the soldiers were already exhausted.

Yan Pu immediately admonished: "The general has several cities along the way, and the army is already a tired division. You might as well rest in Dianjiang for a few days and wait for the arrival of the lord's army. ”

Xu Huang shook his head and said, "If the lord wants to send troops from Guanzhong, it will take at least a few months. If you don't take advantage of the surprise, you will quickly capture Jiangzhou and occupy the entire Ba County. ”

"When Liu Zhang comes to his senses and sends a large army to garrison it, it will be difficult to break the city again."

As a veteran on the battlefield, Xu Huang's grasp of fighters is naturally extremely accurate.

This time, the reason why he was able to hit Dianjiang so quickly, in addition to the fact that there were Dongzhou scholars along the way who opened the city gate and surrendered, the most important reason was that he marched too fast.

Xu Huang's use of troops can be regarded as swift as the wind, and this war to capture Ba County is a real blitzkrieg.

It was precisely because of his grasp of the battle situation that Xu Huang was unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to break through Jiangzhou.

Moreover, don't look at Xu Huang's current speed of advancement, but the army went deep into the hinterland of Ba County, but he was a lone army and drove straight in, committing a taboo in the soldiers.

The time has dragged on for a long time, and when the Yizhou reinforcements arrive, it may even cut off Xu Huang's back road, so that he can become a lone army under these soldiers and horses.

Yan Pu looked worried, and said, "Meng Da has been going to Jiangzhou for many days, but for some reason, I still haven't heard from him until today. ”

"If there is no Meng Dali to cooperate with the outside world, it may not be easy to break through Jiangzhou."

Xu Huang said proudly: "It's just Jiangzhou, why bother? It is certainly a good thing to have Meng Da as the internal response, even if things change, with the men and horses in my hands, I can also storm Jiangzhou. ”

"And along the way, the Dongzhou scholars have repeatedly surrendered the city, if that Yan Yan is not a wasted person, he must have been on guard against the Dongzhou people."

Speaking of this, Xu Huang had a strange smile on his face.

Yan Pu was stunned when he heard this, and then shouted in a lost voice: "Since the general has thought of this, why don't you stop Meng Da from entering Jiangzhou as soon as possible?" ”

It was only at this point that Yan Pu came back to his senses.

Bajun Taishou Yan Yan is a famous general in Shu, it is impossible not to notice the battle situation of Xu Huang's southward movement, if he understands what the Dongzhou scholars have done, Meng Da wants to sacrifice the city inside and outside, it is tantamount to asking for his own death.

Xu Huang said: "Zidu's speech is different from ordinary people, and it is by no means easy to match, even if we can't break through Jiangzhou for our internal and external cooperation, there must be no problem in saving my life." ”

"If he is lucky enough to be able to open the city gate without Yan Yan, then the battle in the land of Bajun can be decided, wouldn't it be happy?"

Hearing Xu Huang's words, although Yan Pu was still a little worried about Meng Da in his heart, he was also a little relieved.

In fact, he didn't know that the reason why Xu Huang didn't remind Meng Da was because Wen Zhao had explained something to him before.

Meng Da in history was an unscrupulous Erwuzai, who first betrayed Liu Zhang and surrendered to Liu Bei, then betrayed Liu Bei and surrendered to Cao Wei, and later betrayed Cao Wei and wanted to surrender to Shu, but was killed by Sima Yi.

Maybe this person has some ability, but no monarch likes Erwuzai, and Wen Zhao himself is no exception.

Compared with Fa Zheng, a person who must be repaid, Meng Da is even more disgusting. At least as long as he treats Fa Zheng well, he will be able to stand firm on major issues of right and wrong.

In Meng Da's heart, there is no word for loyalty.

If Meng Da surrenders to Wen Zhao and makes a great contribution, even if Wen Zhao doesn't like this person, he can only reuse him, which is not what Wen Zhao wants to see.

Therefore, before Wen Zhao left Hanzhong, he had already vaguely told Xu Huang that he didn't like this person.

Xu Huang heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning, naturally he would not really let Meng Da live to make this great achievement, even if Meng Da would not be killed by Yan Yan, Xu Huang would also create some accidents.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

However, it was said that after Meng Da secretly returned to Jiangzhou, he was arrested by Yan Yan and his soldiers.

It wasn't until after he was imprisoned that Meng Da knew that his plan had already been revealed, Pang Xi and others had been killed, and the Yizhou army was also on the way to Jiangzhou.

Yan Yan looked at Meng Da, who was a prisoner, and said in a deep voice: "According to the time, in fact, I can lead the troops to the north of Ba County and keep Xu Huang out. ”

"Do you know why I keep cowering in Jiangzhou, pretending not to know anything?"

The pale-faced Meng Da thought for a while, and then replied: "The general wants to use Jiangzhou as a bait to leave all the 50,000 troops led by Xu Huang here?" ”

After glancing at Meng Da a few times with appreciation, Yan Yan said, "You are a smart person, you should know what I need you to do." ”

Meng Da said mockingly: "Since I have become a prisoner today, how can I have a reason to live? If you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect, and if you want me to send false news to General Xu Huang, it is absolutely impossible! ”

Before Yan Yan could speak, Qin Mi laughed twice and said, "Who said they were going to kill you?" ”

Meng Da pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Since I betrayed Liu Yizhou and led the Chinese army into Ba County, can Liu Yizhou still save my life?" ”

Qin Midao shook his head and said, "Fei Ye, Fei Ye!" Zidu did not pass the Guanzhong army privately, but took the initiative to report Pang Xi's rebellion, and lured the Guanzhong army into Ba County to help General Yan break the thief army. ”

"Zidu is not only faultless, but meritorious, and it is a great merit!"

Meng Da was slightly stunned, then overjoyed, and asked, "Is this really the case?" ”

Yan Yan and Qin Mi said together: "No jokes! ”
