Chapter 137: Hanzhong City (Part II)

The county seat of Liangchuan County in August is still very prosperous.

Located in the main road from Qinchuan to Shuzhong, it belongs to the traffic area "the county town of Liangchuan County is well repaired, there are four city gates before and after, the tall and strong ones are repaired, a circle of outer city walls, high and thick "with stones" is specially transported from far away, I heard that it is an ordinary trebuchet, it is difficult to break the city wall.

Between the county seat and the previous county seat, there is a wide river, the river is turbulent, in August, when the flood season comes, the water level will rise, and the boatmen with good water quality need to be cautious when crossing the river.

Although there are other roads leading to here, "most of them are trade routes, and they do not lead to the nearby counties", if the nearby counties have bad intentions, and they want to send troops to attack Liangdu County, they need to go around a large circle to reach the county town, which is time-consuming and laborious, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Separated on the other side of the river, the county seat of Liang, the county seat, and the land are not important places in Liangchuan, and at the critical juncture, if you lose it, you will lose it, and then find an opportunity to regain it.

There are many good fields near Liangchuan County, and the fertile fields in the vicinity alone are enough to maintain this place for a while.

In general, this is an easy and difficult place to attack, and militarily, the advantage is not the slightest bit.

The mild climate and the location of a plain in the middle of the mountain range made it possible for many merchants to come and go. Every year, the caravans come here to trade, and they come one after another. And there are many shops in the city, and the business is very good every day. If you walk around the county town, you may come across a few wealthy merchants hanging out. No matter how bad it is, standing at the corner of the most prosperous area, cars carrying goods passing in front of you can also make people dizzy.

With these advantages, after Guo Wentong captured the four counties in a row, he finally stopped here in Liangchuan County.

Not only because the four counties are enough for Guo Wentong to digest for a few years, but also because Liangchuan County is really a hard nut to bite.

But such a county is not without its weaknesses.

"Is this news really?" At this time, in a Taoist temple at the east end of the county town, a Taoist from the traveling party was asking in surprise.

After meeting the disciples who had come to join him, he got a shocking piece of news.

Obviously, the news made his face ugly.

The Taoist is born with the Dao bone fairy wind, this appearance, no Taoist can fool some ordinary people", not to mention that some Taoist practitioners "don't stay in the local area for a long time", but they are also somewhat famous.

Because of this, the people of the Taoist temple were extremely polite to him.

More than half of the incense in the temple was brought by him, and this affection alone would not treat him badly.

But at this time, a faint melancholy appeared on his face.

This person's apprentice is "not very old", about the age of ten years old, but he is very clever, "He is usually a good and clean person, but his current appearance is extremely embarrassing."

Wrapped in a dirty Taoist robe, his hair was a little messy, and if it weren't for the appearance of some people, he would almost be kicked out as a beggar.

"Master" what the apprentice said is true, you look at the apprentice's arm, this is when he was fleeing, he was shot by a stray arrow, "It is still not good." Xiao Daotong pulled up his sleeves aggrievedly and was about to hurt. Lu showed it to his master.

Although the medicine is almost healed, "but the scar that has just formed is extremely conspicuous." "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, how would you dare to say that?" "Guo Wentong's next target is this county town? Oops! This is no better than the small county town you went to before, the county town is really surrounded by a large army, and not even a bird can fly out! No, this place can not stay any longer, although people outside the party, the other party may not notice, but the weapon has no eyes, it is really injured by someone during the siege, and the gain outweighs the loss. The Taoist's face changed, and he finally made up his mind: "Good man, this place is not suitable for a long time, you and I should pack our bags and leave here quickly." ”

"What Master said is that even if the city can't be attacked for a while, it's not interesting to be trapped in one place. "Dao Tongxian was frightened by the previous incident," hearing the master mention this, he responded again and again.

The two of them didn't have much luggage, so they said let's go.

Fortunately, the Taoist still has some like-minded feelings: "Before leaving, I will get the news and tell the viewer of this view."

After listening to the advice of the Taoist priest of Youfang, the Guan Master "just smiled faintly:" Senior brother is really worried about "This city has been very stable for decades, and it has never been taken by anyone, so what is there to worry about living here?", "And it is August at this time, and the river on the other side is rising" There is no sailor here, as long as the boats and bridges along the way are destroyed, how can the army cross? When the river recedes, it will take a month to attack the county seat. Who could have waited on the other side of the river for such a long time? As soon as they left, the Taishou sent someone to reclaim the lost land. That is, when they come again, it is so see-sawing. This place has always been so hostile, what are you afraid of doing?", the master and apprentice were speechless about this. After a few more words of persuasion, seeing that the other party didn't care, he thought that this was just an ordinary Taoist temple, as long as people like them left, it would definitely not cause danger.

The master and apprentice gave up, and then said goodbye and left.

After they left, the high-level leaders of Liangchuan County also received the news that Guo Wentong was coming to attack with his troops.

Because it is the flood season, the river is rising, and it is possible to cross the river normally, and the army can cross the river, which is simply a dream.

Taishou sent additional men to guard the city, and sent people to collect ships, but the people in the city did not know that the shadow of war was already approaching this side step by step.

"Master, what are you doing here?" On the road that was already some distance away from the county seat of Liangchuan, an ordinary carriage was moving in the direction of Shu without speed or slowness.

The chariot was driven by a very ordinary-looking Taoist man, the horse who was driven to pull the cart was very obedient, and the Taoist held the reins in one hand, "holding two little kingfishers in the palm of one hand."

Dao Tong was sitting in the carriage before, and when he heard the master muttering something in front of him, he poked his head out curiously, "What I saw was this scene."

"This thing is the thing that our master transmits, although the teacher is an outer disciple, this hand is will. With his hand raised, the kingfisher spread its wings and flew away.

"The teacher has been using this thing to send intelligence back to the division, and this time, I will use it again. The Taoist priest said with some emotion.

"Go ahead. "The hand jerked upward" and the bird immediately flew up and flew into the distance.

"Master, are you sending a letter to the master's door with two kingfishers? instead of one?" Dao Tong kept watching, at this time, he was a little active, and he had learned some martial arts, but he was a teenager in the end, and he was patient, waiting for the master to answer.

The Taoist raised the whip in his hand and whipped the horse, and the speed of the car immediately increased a lot.

The Taoist priest said: "There are two copies of the information sent to the teacher, one is sent back to the teacher, and it is presented to the seniors of the master. One copy is given to the two inner brothers. ”

"Master, where are we going next?" Dao Tong didn't continue to ask, but instead asked where the two of them were going next.

"The war is in chaos, and it is not safe to live anywhere, go to Shu, where it has just been settled by Shu fairly, and it should not be a problem to live for a few years. "As a disciple of the hidden sect who is traveling, Shu is the safest place.

"Shudi" gradually drifted away as the carriage drifted away, and their voices gradually drifted away. Until it doesn't come anymore.

At this time, Wang Hongyi's army of 40,000 had surrounded Hanzhong City.

On the afternoon of the day of the camp, the personnel of the 13th Division of the army came to ask for an audience.

"Ask him to come in. Wang Hongyi then summoned the personnel of the Thirteenth Division.

From the mouths of the personnel of the Thirteenth Division, Wang Hongyi learned that Guo Wentong had sent troops to attack Liangchuan County.

When Wang Hongyi heard the news, he was silent at first.

In this era, the ancient camp, not far from the mountains is gloomy and dark, Wang Hongyi walked for a long time before he said: "The situation in Liangchuan County is related to the progress of our army in Hanzhong, we must pay attention to it at any time, and report it to record that this is a major policy, not an ordinary detail, you must pay attention." ”

The personnel of the Thirteenth Division were slightly stunned, and they hurriedly bowed down and responded "yes"!

Wang Hongyi ordered them to leave, and after a while, he ordered: "Pass the Gu order, use a thunderbolt to attack the city wall" and slowly kill it, the army does not have to kiss it!"

"No. ”

The military order was like a mountain, and the thunderbolt cart was pushed forward" in front of the city, and with a command, the boulder was thrown.

Listening to the rumbling sound in the distance, Wang Hongyi, who was in the camp, didn't care, and his thinking turned to Jingzhou again.

"I don't know if Zhang Fanzhi and Xing Dahai led them to Jingzhou, what happened to the situation, and did Lu Suhai stand out?"

For Lu Suhai, he was deeply impressed, this is a talent who can enter the first-rate general, but now he is a little younger, and he still needs to be honed.

At this time, on the surface of the Yangtze River, a group of warships was slowly heading upstream, only to see that the warship was full of flames and traces of battle, and the deck had been cleaned, and blood stains were still faintly visible everywhere.

Zhang Fanzhi and Xing Dahai stood on the top floor of the flagship, and the strong river wind blew the flag and hunted.

Zhang Fanzhi had a happy expression on his face, this was the third time he had plundered, and he had plundered a large number of goods, which could be sold to the officials and merchants of Shu as long as he went back, which was lower than that of serious merchants, but half of them were rewarded.

The money is not just for pensions, but also for the construction of new ships, the recruitment of soldiers, and the arrangement of family members in order to expand the scale.

Now the upper limit of the fleet is 10,000 people in Sandu, but now it adds up to only 7,000 people.

And some people must be eliminated, "and it is not easy to be a water thief, now Jingzhou is very urgent, although the warships are now strong ships" but once they act as pirates, the sword soldiers are ruthless "or some brothers.

Of course, "this also trained the sailors, and Zhang Fanzhi is confident that these sailors who have been trained and tested in actual combat can compete with the Jingzhou sailors in the future."

Just thinking about it, at this time, a general suddenly came up.

This will be wearing leather armor, full of heroism, and if you look closely, you are not very old, it is Lu Suhai.

Lu Suhai is young and heroic, dares to fight, has good luck, has made many military exploits, and last time he killed a general of the crusading army alone, according to the Shu system, I am afraid that he will be promoted.

But if you are so young, you will be a battalion leader, and if you are promoted again, won't you be a deputy guard general?

That's too fast, isn't it?

Zhang Fanzhi had a headache about this question. !~!
