Chapter 137: Hanzhong City (Part II)

The county seat of Yangcheon-gun

The county town of Yangcheon County is still very prosperous in August.

Located in the main road from Qinchuan to Shuzhong, it belongs to the Jiāo Tong region, the county town of Liangchuan County is well repaired, there are four cities before and after, the left and right sides of the city are built tall and strong, a circle of outer city walls, high and thick, the stone used is specially transported from the 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 it comes to the flood season, the water level will rise, the water is still good, and the boatman needs to be cautious when crossing the river.

Although there are other roads leading here, most of them are trade routes, and do not lead to the nearby counties, if the nearby counties have bad intentions, if they want to send troops to crusade against 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.

The county seat belonging to Liangchuan County, which is separated on the other side of the river, and although there is a lot of land, it is not an important place in Liangchuan Capital, and at the critical juncture, it is lost and lost, and then it is necessary to find an opportunity to regain it.

There are many fields in the vicinity of Yangcheon, and the fertile fields in the vicinity alone are enough to sustain 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, which are delivered every day, and business is very good. 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 Bunsheng Dao Bone Immortal Wind, this appearance, there is no Taoist practice can be confused nòng some ordinary people, not to mention that there are some Taoist practitioners themselves, and they have not stayed 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 worry has appeared on his face.

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

A dirty robe was wrapped around his body, and his hair was a little luàn, 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, look at the apprentice's arm, this is when he fled, he was hit by a stray arrow, and he hasn't been able to find it yet. Xiǎo Daotong pulled up his sleeves aggrievedly and showed the wound to his master.

Although the yào agent is almost good after applying the yào agent, 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?"

"So, Guo Wentong's next target is this county town? Oops! This is no better than the xiǎoxiǎo county seat 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't 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 face was uncertain, 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, and when he heard 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-mindedness, and before leaving, he will get the news and tell the master of this view.

After listening to the advice of Daoist You Fang, the Guan Master just smiled faintly: "Senior brother is really worried, this city has been very stable for decades, and it has never been captured, so what else is there to worry about if you live here?"

"And it is August at this time, and the river on the other side is rising, and there is no sailor here, so if the ships and bridges along the way are destroyed, how can the army cross it? 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?"

In this regard, the master and apprentice were speechless. 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 with 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 the war had approached 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 driver was a very ordinary-looking Taoist who was driving the cart, the horse that was being driven to pull the cart was very obedient, the Taoist was holding the reins in one hand, and the two xiǎoxiǎo kingfishers were holding 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 out his head curiously and saw this scene.

"This thing is the thing that our teacher mén transmits, although the teacher is a disciple of the outer mén, this hand is willing. With that, he lifted his hand upward, and the kingfisher spread its wings and flew away.

"I've been using this thing for the teacher, and I've sent information back to the teacher, and this time, I'm going to use it again. The Taoist priest said with some emotion.

"Go ahead. With a jerk of the hand upward, the bird immediately flew up and flew off into the distance.

"Master, are you using two kingfishers to send a letter to your master, instead of one?" Daotong kept watching, asking at this time, he was a little active, and he had learned some martial arts, but he was a teenager, and waited for Master to answer.

The Taoist raised the whip in his hand, and the chōu hit 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 the jiāo is presented to the seniors of the teacher. 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.

"Soldiers and horses are scarce, where they come from are not peaceful, 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 hidden disciple outside the mén who is traveling, Shu is the safest place.

"Shu Di ......" gradually drifted away as the carriage moved 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 dark, Wang Hongyi walked hard, and said for a long time: "The situation in Liangchuan County is related to the progress of our army in Hanzhong, so we must pay attention to it at any time and report it to record - this is a major policy, not an ordinary detail, you must pay attention to it." ”

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 wear away, the army does not have to kiss it!"

"No. ”

The order was like a mountain, the thunderbolt cart was pushed forward, placed 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 is the third time he has plundered, and he has plundered a large number of goods, which can be sold to the officials and merchants of Shu as long as he goes back, which is lower than that of serious merchants, but half of them are rewarded.

The money was not just for pensions, but also for the construction of new ships, the recruitment of soldiers, and the arrangement of family members to expand the size of the family.

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, and now Jingzhou is very urgent, although the warships are now strong and big, but once they act as pirates, the sword and soldiers are ruthless, and some brothers are still damaged.

Of course, this also trained the sailors, and Zhang Fanzhi was confident that these sailors who had been trained and tested in actual combat could 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.
