After Zhang Ren occupied the city gate to welcome Zhang He into the city, he immediately recruited local soldiers from Hanchang everywhere for the forward.

After several wars in Hanchang, Hanchang was already tired of Deng Xian, Pang Xi and others fighting here to the death, so the slogans shouted by Zhang Ren made the local scholars surrender one after another.

Deng Xian saw that the city was full of news of the killing of the Lu Cheng army, and the thoughts that he wanted to resist for a while also dispersed with the embattled, Deng Xian led his subordinates to kill Hanchang and went straight to Leng Bao, who surrounded Xuanhan.

After Zhang He occupied Hanchang, he first exterminated the rebel army in the city, and then feasted the local nobles and beheaded the rebel soldiers to rectify military discipline.

Lu Chengjun's strict military discipline and strict military appearance made the Han Changshi clan terrified, and under Zhang Ren's persuasion, the people were calmed.

In order to rescue Zhang Lu as soon as possible, Zhang He ordered You Ji and Liu Zhiran to sit in Hanchang and lead his troops to Xuanhan.

"Lord, how can a certain coarse person handle government affairs?"

Compared with defending the city, Liu Zhiran is more willing to fight on the battlefield.

Zhang He naturally understood what Liu Zhiran meant, but now there is no more suitable person than him, so he persuaded him: "I will be able to come from the He tribe in a few days after joining the army, and besides you, who can take on the important task of defending the city, You Ji?" Or Zhang Ren, who just surrendered? Don't worry, don't worry? ā€

Liu Zhiran was puzzled and said: "Chief General, you don't worry about You Ji, why do you still let him take the position of Hanchang Chief?"

Zhang He said: "Then will you handle government affairs?"

Liu Zhiran shook his head, and Zhang He said in a low voice: "The reason why I left you four hundred Imperial Forest Army is to prevent You Ji from having bad intentions, if there is any change in it, you will immediately kill it."

"Whoa!"

Liu Zhiran had already seen that You Ji was not pleasing to the eye, but he couldn't kill him because of military law, if You Ji dared to collude with the Yizhou army, he would just take the opportunity to kill him.

Zhang He stayed in Hanchang for a day, then ordered Zhang Ren to be the vanguard, and he led a thousand Lucheng troops as the rear team to rush to the ditch.

The ditch, the country of the original people, the birthplace of Banduman.

Zhang Lu was able to gain a foothold in Ba County with the support of the people of Ba Zhu, so after Leng Bao captured Hanchang, the troops pointed directly at Xuanhan, and Zhang Lu in order to preserve his strength, he shrank his forces to the ditch and prepared to defend the ditch.

Deng Xian led the remnants straight to Xuanhan, Leng Bud had already led the army to the ditch, but he led the army to the ditch to see Leng Bao.

Leng Bao saw Deng Xian, and after hearing what happened to Deng Xian, he sneered: "Hanchang is a military transfer station, Hanchang is lost, and our army is almost alone.

Deng Xian's army was defeated and lost the city, and the waist pole was naturally not hard, and he was snubbed by Leng Bao for a while, and finally Deng Xian said: "The Lucheng army crossed Micang Mountain, and its combat power should not be underestimated."

Leng Bao sneered: "Over Micang Mountain, how many soldiers and horses can the Lucheng army have, but you are too delicate and indulgent to your brother, so that Zhang Ren was forced to rebel, which caused the fall of Hanchang City!"

Deng Xian was choked by Leng Bud and had nothing to say, Leng Bud said proudly: "The general asked you to go to serve in front of Jiameng Pass, so let's go!"

"Humph!"

Deng Xian reminded before leaving: "Lu Chengjun is really not to be underestimated."

"Perhaps!"

Leng Bao said to the left and right after Deng Xian left: "What about the people of the Deng family in Nanyang?" really lost Deng Yu's face. ā€

Hearing this, the left and right flattered him: "Deng Xian just has a good background, and his main merit is based on a knife and a gun."

This era is the era of opposition between the poor family and the family, each with its own backbone and ability.

"Tell the armies to step up their attacks on the two villages of Mengtou and Dangshi, and it must be Zhang Lu who sends envoys to urge the Lucheng army to speed up the march."

Leng Bud didn't get a few words of compliment and became fluttery, and ordered immediately.

"Whoa! The lord is going to do a good job. ā€

"The Lu Cheng army hurried to the ditch, coupled with the unfamiliarity of life, once the lord launched a night attack, the Lu Cheng army will definitely be defeated, the Lu Cheng army will be defeated, and there will be no reinforcements in the ditch, and Zhang Lu will die if he does not surrender."

"The lord is really a good plan."

Leng Bao was praised left and right, and stroked his beard at the moment and said: "The Lu Cheng army crossed the Micang Mountain and went deep into Ba County, it is really arrogant, how can the sinister of Bashan Shushui be comparable to the Central Plains."

"The lord is wise."

Leng Bao ordered a fierce attack on the two villages of Mengtou and Dangshi, and his brother Zhang Zhen and Bayi Ren who guarded the two villages could not resist, so they could only ask for help from Zhang Lu, Pu Hu, and Du Hao in the ditch, and Zhang Lu had no choice but to send people out of the encirclement to ask for help.

After Zhang He got the news, he urgently ordered Zhang Ren to speed up the journey, and Zhang appointed his subordinates to march in a hurry, and it was late when they arrived at Mengtou and Dangshi two villages.

Leng Bao's elite soldiers who had already been deployed were killed, and Zhang Ren was unexpectedly defeated, if it wasn't for Zhang He taking the opportunity to lead the army to kill, this defeat would have been a rout.

Zhang He and the two of them camped in the two villages of Dangshi and Mengtou respectively, and they could echo each other with Mengtou and Dangshi, even if they were outside, they could also be horns for each other.

Leng Bao saw that Lu Cheng's army was excellent, and immediately withdrew his troops.

That night, Leng Bao took the opportunity to lead his troops to attack Zhang Ren's camp, and set up an ambush halfway to prepare to ambush the Lu Cheng army.

As a result, Zhang Ren had already prepared, and the Leng Bud Department would kill into Zhang Ren's camp, and there were only countless straw men in the camp, Zhang Ren was ambushed outside, and took the opportunity to use a rocket to trap the Leng Bud General in the camp.

Leng Bao waited for half the night on the way, and the Lu Cheng army did not leave the camp, but it was Zhang Ren's camp that shouted all night, and the firelight also shone all night.

At dawn, Leng Bud and his generals converged, only to see that the 1,000 elite soldiers brought by the generals were less than 300, and each of them was wounded.

How is this possible?

Zhang Ren has a lot of people, how many armor weapons are cold, he left Zhang Ren in Hanchang to disgust Deng Xian, Zhang Ren clashed with Deng Guo more than once, he just wanted to see if Deng Xian could allocate enough armor to Zhang Ren?

If enough armor and grain and grass can be allocated, how could Zhang Ren surrender to the Lucheng army?

But the loss of the generals made Leng Bao have to believe that Lu Chengjun gave Zhang Ren enough armor, did he mean that Lu Chengjun had a lot of money and was stupid? Or is Zhang He broad-minded?

"Lu Chengjun is worthy of being the elite of the world, and in this battle of the ditch, a certain general can do nothing!"

Leng Bao watched the smoke rise from the barracks of the Lu Cheng Army, and said to the slowly rising sun: "Return to the army."

Leng Bao had just returned, and before he had eaten his meal, the drums of the Lucheng army outside the barracks sounded, and a soldier came to report at the moment: "Captain, the Lucheng army has sent someone to fight the battle."

Leng Bud sneered: "Without a certain order, refuse to fight."

After Leng Bao finished speaking, he began to eat, no matter how Lu Chengjun scolded him, he just didn't fight, he was waiting, waiting for Jiangzhou reinforcements to arrive, waiting for Pang Xi to get the news and then recovering Hanchang, and then solving Lu Chengjun and Zhang Lu together.

I have to say that Leng Bao's idea is very good, Zhang He also saw this layout, and now he is fighting the time difference, if Zhang He can eliminate Leng Bud before Pang Xi captures Hanchang, and repel Jiangzhou reinforcements, even after Pang Xi recaptures Hanchang, Zhang He can also go away, take Jiangzhou directly, and then deter Chengdu, and then achieve Zhang He's strategic goal of disturbing the inner belly of Yizhou.
