Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 290

Gao Changgong set out from Wuguan and went to Shangxian and Shangluo, but he did not attack the county. His army brought a lot of baggage, enough for him to use for a month.Of course, most of the baggage is Cao Jun's military flags and tents, because Gao Changgong will disguise himself as Cao Jun in the future.

In fact, there is no difference between Cao Jun's clothing and Zhang Yijun's clothing, because everyone uses the Han Army's clothing.The Han Dynasty was still red, and the military uniforms were all red.It's just that everyone has some differences in armor, but not all soldiers can wear armor.

After seven or eight days, Gao Changgong finally came to Ziwu Valley. Xianxian first found a valley, hid the horses here, took only a few horses, and then brought a large amount of supplies into Ziwu Valley.

After entering Ziwu Valley, Gao Changgong sent out all the flags, and then sent people to investigate ahead.Gao Changgong also specially warned those who went to investigate, not to hide their figures, but to let the defenders in Hanzhong discover them.

Meridian Road is hundreds of miles long, and the road is difficult. It takes at least ten days for the army to pass, but it only takes three or four days for the investigators.

After the investigators left the Meridian Valley, they immediately went west to investigate in the direction of Chenggu.Chenggu is forty or fifty miles away from the exit of Meridian Valley, and it will take two days to get there.When they arrived outside Chenggu County, these investigators were discovered by the local people.

The local people saw Cao Jun's armor and immediately notified Chenggu's defenders.Compared with Cao Cao and Zhang Yi, Hanzhong is much poorer, and their soldiers basically have no armor, so when a soldier wearing armor appears, it is particularly eye-catching.

Chenggu's defenders immediately dispatched to look for the soldier that the people said.After a day of searching, the soldiers found a small camp with three or four tents and about a dozen troops in armor.There were five or sixty defenders who came out, and they immediately attacked more than a dozen people.

But it's a pity that these people under Gao Changgong are the best of the best.When the cavalry was selected, in addition to riding skills, it also required very strict fighting tests and riding and shooting tests. It was definitely the best among the best.The Hanzhong soldiers were not even considered elite, and when they fought against Gao Changgong's cavalry, they were immediately at a disadvantage.Five or sixty people were crushed and beaten by more than a dozen people, and they had no strength to fight back.

In less than a quarter of an hour, more than 20 Chenggu defenders died, and the others fled quickly when they saw the heavy casualties.The cavalry did not pursue, but began to pack up their things and retreat towards Meridian Valley.Their goal has been achieved, and now it's time to retreat.

Sure enough, after the cavalry walked for three hours, a total of five or six hundred defenders came from Chenggu's direction.They followed the traces left by the knights all the way to Meridian Valley.When they saw that it was Ziwu Valley, they immediately panicked. The other side of Ziwu Valley is Guanzhong, which is Cao Cao's territory!They hurried deep into Ziwu Valley, and found that a large number of Cao Jun were passing through Ziwu Valley, and they were two-thirds of the way.

These people didn't dare to neglect, they hurried back to Chenggu and reported the news to Nanzheng.

Zhang Lu was also frightened when he received the news.You must know that Cao Cao pacified the north and became the number one prince in the world, and he was in the limelight for a while.

Zhang Lu summoned his subordinate officials and asked, "Now that Cao Jun suddenly appeared in Ziwu Valley, I don't know how we should deal with it?"

As the number one counselor under Zhang Lu, Yan Pu couldn't help but ask first: "My lord, do you know how many Cao Jun have?"

Zhang Lu handed the military report of Cheng Gu's garrison to Yan Pu. Yan Pu took a look at the military report and couldn't help being surprised: "[-]? How is this possible? How could Ziwu Valley pass through so many troops?"

Zhang Lu said: "Even if one person passes by alone, he can always get over it."

"But their luggage can't be transported!" Yan Pu said clearly: "Cao Jun may be a suspicious soldier!"

Zhang Lu asked: "How sure are you?"

Yan Pu replied: "You don't need to be sure. The road in Ziwu Valley is steep. You only need one general to lead 5000 people to stop Cao's army. But I suspect that Cao's army may attack from other places, and take Ziwu Valley as a suspect. , its army must have taken several other paths.”

Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei said at this time: "Then station armies on all roads. No matter which road they take, we can stop them."

Zhang Lu looked at his younger brother and frowned and said, "If we inflict too much damage on Cao Jun, will Cao Gong send more troops to attack me?"

"Does elder brother still want to surrender?" Zhang Wei said: "You must know that elder brother has not made any contribution to the imperial court these years, but instead helped Liu Zhang cut off the road in central Shu."

As soon as Zhang Lu heard this, he stopped talking immediately.Indeed, as Zhang Wei said, he really hasn't done such a thing in these years.After Liu Yan entered Shuzhong, he photographed Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu to attack Hanzhong, in order to let them block the traffic and cut off the connection between Shuzhong and the Central Plains.After capturing Hanzhong, Zhang Lu killed Zhang Xiu and blocked traffic according to Liu Yan's instructions.As a result, many officials were unable to take office in central Shu, including Xun You who was avoiding Dong Zhuo.

Now that the decision was made, Zhang Lu said, "Then who should go to Meridian Valley?"

Zhang Wei said: "Let Yang Bai go to Ziwu Valley, I will collect Chencang Road, Yang Ren will guard Baoxie Road, and Yang Ang will guard Luogu Road."

Yan Pu did not raise any objection to this arrangement. Now Cao Jun can take these four roads, and Cao Cao's army can't get through the Qishan Road further west, because it leads to Liangzhou, which is now Han Sui's territory.If Cao Jun dared to go to Liangzhou, he would definitely conflict with Han Sui.

Why didn't Zhang Wei arrange for people to guard Yangping Pass?Because Yangping Pass is to the west of Nanzheng, on Jinniu Road (the introduction of Jinniu Road in the previous article is wrong, Jinniu Road is the road connecting Hanzhong and Shuzhong, and the five roads in the customs clearance of Hanzhong are Qishan Road and Chencang Road , Xiegu Road, Luogu Road and Meridian Road).Only when you attack from the direction of Shuzhong or Wudu County, you need to go through Yangping Pass, and you only need to go through Sanguan to go to Chencang Road.

Because he didn't know which road Cao Jun came from, Zhang Lu asked the four generals to go out to defend with 5000 people, while Nanzheng only left about [-] people.But Zhang Lu is not worried at all, because as long as he defends the four roads, Hanzhong will be at ease.

Zhang Lu never thought that Zhang Yi would attack him from Shangyong, because the road from Shangyong was too difficult to walk, and it was impossible to transport supplies.But Di Qing Leng transported the supplies to Shangyong bit by bit, and had already accumulated enough resources to launch a surprise attack.Just after he dispatched [-] troops, Wei Yan, who was lurking, discovered the transfer of their troops, and quickly sent someone back to Shangyong to notify Di Qing.
