――――――――――――

However, it was not until he actually fought head-on with the Xiliang army that Zhang Lu clearly realized that the Xiliang army was extremely strong, and it was by no means comparable to the Hanzhong army, which had been out of battle for a long time.

Therefore, these days he has been frightened and frightened, suffering from gains and losses, because he thought of a terrible fact, that is, Li Li has not tasted a single defeat in the war, and he has always led a large army to attack and win invincible.

For this reason, Zhang Lu was eager to withdraw his troops immediately and return to Hanzhong to live his own stable life. If possible, he was willing to make peace with Li Li's army, even if he did not hesitate to compensate some money and food.

It's a pity that there is no turning back when the bow is opened.

When the battle came to this point, Zhang Lu really had to send an arrow, even if he wanted to compromise and reconcile with Li Li and turn the war into a jade silk, he had to finish this battle. Otherwise, there are only two paths in front of him now, either to carry it to the end, or to bow down; Trying to compromise on the spot is tantamount to a dream.

Therefore, the battle in front of him is very important, and it is no exaggeration to say that this battle directly determines the life and death of Zhang Lu and the Zhang clan in Hanzhong, and also determines the final belonging of Hanzhong.

If this battle is won, Zhang Lu may still have the possibility of making peace with Li Li's army, and have the opportunity to choose to compromise with the Xiliang army, give a certain amount of compensation, and maybe continue to stay in Hanzhong to enjoy wealth and prosperity, and live a stable life.

If this battle is lost, then the general trend will be gone.

The Xiliang army was bound to drive straight into the city and go directly to the city of Yangping Pass. At that time, the general trend is irreversible, and the victory or defeat is decided. The most desperate thing is that Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang of Yizhou have been at odds over the years. However, except for Liu Zhang in Yizhou, who was able to solve the difficulties in Hanzhong, Zhang Lu had no allies, and no princes helped him. Since then, Hanzhong has been in danger, and the lives of Zhang Lu and the Zhang family have been put to rest.

Zhang Lu has seen the shape in front of him very thoroughly, and he has pondered it countless times. The final conclusion is that this is the case.

Because of this, he attached great importance to the current battle of Chencang, and did not hesitate to send an apologetic guard who had never participated in the battle to assist Zhang Wei in defending the camp.

However, just three days ago. Zhang Lu unexpectedly received a secret report that Li Li had left Chencang City ten days ago to secretly return to Chang'an, and took thousands of iron horsemen with him. In addition, it is said that Li Li's return to Chang'an this time was to welcome the princes' envoys from all sides to Beijing to pay tribute. There will be no return to the Chencang front for a short time. At least half a month can not get out. This news came from Chang'an, and it came from a respected old minister of the three dynasties in the court, who was more than the third duke, so this secret report was absolutely reliable. In addition, the visitor also revealed an earth-shattering secret, but since the matter is still being planned, the envoy is vague and only mentioned in a word. It's just a little bit of air.

And this news is undoubtedly a long-term drought for Zhang Lu nowadays. It really came at a timely, so important.

This is a real God-given opportunity, and it must not be lost!

As long as they grasp this opportunity, then the Hanzhong army can capture Chencang in one fell swoop, even if it can't turn the whole battle situation around, no matter how bad it is, it can maintain the status quo, defend Chencang Jiancheng, and continue to confront the Xiliang army. When what the messenger said broke out, Li Li was bound to be in chaos, and he would no longer have time to take care of the battle in Chencang, so he would definitely rush back to the rear to extinguish the fire as soon as possible. At that time, the entire battle situation will undergo an earth-shattering reversal, and the Hanzhong army will completely occupy the initiative, and it can attack Chang'an if it advances, and it can return to Hanzhong to defend it, and there will be no worries.

So Zhang Lu rushed to Zhang Wei's camp at night, personally dispatched troops, and personally went to the front line to command this heavy battle that decided the life of his family and the survival of Hanzhong.

Success or failure in this move, there is no room for mistakes, and there can be no mistakes, so as to be foolproof.

――――― small dividing line――――――

After a day and a night of close observation and many investigations, the secret report obtained by Zhang Lu was once again confirmed.

There was indeed no Li Li in Chen Cangcheng, and even Li Zhi, the commander of Jin Qiwei who had been with him for a long time, and Jin Qiwei's war cavalry were all missing. At the same time, Chen Cangcheng strengthened the number of soldiers defending the city, which was originally only 2,000, but now it has increased to 3,000. But in this way, the number of troops in the city is obviously insufficient, and the original exchange of defense every two hours is now changed to a handover every three hours, and the soldiers who defend the city at night are obviously much lazy and appear absent-minded, and there are soldiers who are lazy to sleep during this time.

Therefore, now the garrison of Chen Cangcheng can be said to be strong outside and capable in the middle, and it seems that the number of soldiers defending the city has increased significantly, but in fact, it is far less rigorous than before.

After a day and a night of anxious waiting, Zhang Lu and the strategist Yan Pu agreed that the time was ripe and that they could no longer hesitate and must strike decisively. Otherwise, if Li Li suddenly returned to Chen Cangcheng, he would miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to raid, and he was afraid that there would be no such excellent opportunity to break the enemy again.

In the main tent of the camp, Zhang Lu is in a handsome position, and there are two scholars, two martial arts and four henchmen standing under the steps, the scribes are naturally the chief strategists Yan Pu and Yang Song, and the generals are Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei and Yang Song's clan brother Yang Bai. In addition, there were more than 30 generals in the army standing in the big tent under the stairs, and almost seventy percent of the generals under Zhang Lu were gathered. Among them, there are also six Wudoumi Sect Guardian Captains, each of whom commands two thousand Guardian Guards, and the remaining three thousand Guards are personally led by Zhang Lu, guarding him all year round, never leaving for a moment.

And these 15,000 guardian guards are the guardian force carefully cultivated by the three generations of the Zhang family's ancestors and grandchildren. Therefore, the six apologetic captains are all over forty years old, and the eldest apolologist Zhang Quan is now at the age of sixties, but he is also the most unfathomable and mysterious figure in martial arts among the six apologetic elders. It is said that the brothers Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei wanted to worship the great elder Zhang Quan as a teacher and learn martial arts, but he ruthlessly refused, claiming that the two were not qualified enough and had too many distractions, even if they learned martial arts, it was in vain; It is better to concentrate on learning the art of talisman seals, and in a few decades you may be successful.

It was the words of Great Elder Zhang Quan that made Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei brothers suffer a big blow, and since then they have broken the jar and broken, making Zhang Quan's words a prophecy. To this day, although Zhang Lu is said to be a heavenly master, he does not know the art of seals. It is not a martial artist, and its own martial arts are limited to third-rate, at most dealing with a few small soldiers. And Zhang Wei is much stronger than his brother Zhang Lu. Martial arts are between the first-class threshold and the second-rate upper rank, and it is not a problem to deal with ordinary generals, but it is not possible to meet a real strong person.

Fortunately, the Zhang family has a deep foundation and many elders, and most of them are women, which does not pose a threat to Zhang Lu's status. Therefore, if he can't write martial arts himself, he doesn't care. Several of his aunts, sisters, and daughters were all highly qualified martial arts wizards, not only strong in martial arts, but also proficient in the art of talismans. also has a bit of a knowledge of witchcraft, and it's a good idea. Among them, the highest achievement is the little aunt Zhang Zhi, who has entered the realm of martial arts, and the art of Fu Seal is at her fingertips. A large piece of poison can be poisoned with a single gesture. The magic of witchcraft has entered the house. Even the great elder Zhang Quan, who was twice as old as Zhang Zhi, often marveled that Zhang Zhi was a Taoist genius who had not been met for hundreds of years, and his martial arts and talisman skills made him unreachable, so he had always been respectful to Zhang Zhi and respected him like a god.

At this moment, the big tent discussion was nearing the end, and the next thing was for Zhang Lu to give the order, and he would automatically attack Chen Cangcheng after dark.

"That's what happened with the soldiers. When the six elders led the cathar guards to climb the slopes on both sides of Chen Cang City. Zhang Wei led 30,000 cavalry to attack the city head-on, attracting all the defenders of Chencang. Gathered on the front tower, and then the Guardian Guards borrowed ropes to climb the city heads on both sides, giving the defenders a fatal blow and taking Chencang City in one fell swoop! ”

After giving the order, Zhang Lu Huoran got up and said with a solemn expression: "This Heavenly Master will come to the city to supervise the battle, and all the generals must work together, and the day to break the enemy is tonight!" ”

"No!" There was a sound of promise in the big tent, full of confidence, obviously determined to win tonight's battle.

―――――― Dividing Line――――――

Chen Cangcheng, on the lobby of the city guard mansion.

Approaching dusk, all the generals of the Chinese army in the western expedition to Hanzhong gathered together, but the upper main seat was empty, and even Li Zhi, the commander of the pro-guard army who often stood next to the main seat, was nowhere to be seen.

"In the past two days, the situation has changed abruptly, and the enemy's troops have moved their troops and horses very frequently, especially this afternoon, Zhang Wei's army has all gathered in the camp, and the strength is far better than the 50,000 people half a month ago. According to scouts, in recent days, large groups of soldiers and horses have entered the enemy camp, and it is conservatively estimated that the number of soldiers and horses in the enemy camp has exceeded 60,000, close to 70,000 troops, nearly twice the size of our army. The generals have already known this information, so I will not repeat it in the future. The enemy's large-scale mobilization of troops and horses must have a plan, and the comers are not good, if it is not expected, it is asserted that Zhang Wei's army will definitely make some action tonight. ”

Speaking of this, Fa Zheng's tone paused, and he immediately got up and walked to the center of the lobby, and said solemnly: "Now the top priority is that we must immediately move and actively prepare for the battle according to the predetermined plan. Do you have any objections to this? ”

Before the words fell, Ma Teng continued: "This time, we want to use a suspicious plan to lure the enemy deeper and lead Zhang Wei's army to take the initiative to attack. Originally, the plan was implemented very smoothly, but when Wenchang returned to the city to sit in the town, he followed the plan. Unexpectedly, the Son of Heaven was seriously ill at this juncture, and fell ill in the court in public, which made the whole plan complicated and dragged Wenchang unable to get out. In this way, we are in danger of becoming self-defeating, and if we are not careful, we will fall into the predicament of luring the enemy but suffering from it. ”

While speaking, Ma Teng got up and left the first place on the right, Gu Zi walked to the last seat and sat down, and said loudly: "At the moment of the great enemy, we must not mess up the square inch, we must work together, and strive to break the enemy army." In accordance with Wenchang's instructions when he returned to Chang'an, from now on, the military division Fa Zheng, the commander of the Qin Gong battalion, Huang Zhong and General Zhao Yun will be in charge of the army. Now, call the shots to the three generals! ”

After Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun heard this, they glanced at each other, and immediately said in unison: "Please give the order of the military advisor, and we should follow the order!" ”

Fa Zheng didn't give in when he heard this, nodded solemnly, and said loudly: "Thanks to the trust of the generals, I will issue combat orders on behalf of the lord." The congregation will listen to ??????"
