Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 827 The confrontation between the two armies
After entering Hanzhong City, everyone also told Huo Ge the mystery.

It was only then that Huo Ge suddenly realized that it was no wonder that there was no news from the people he had sent to Hanzhong City to urge food many times before.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Tan had already sent people to occupy Hanzhong City without anyone noticing.

At this moment, Huo Ge couldn't help but feel a little more admiration for Yuan Tan.

But now that Yuan Tan took his own army of 60 to occupy Hanzhong City, he had taken the first step in attacking Shu.

However, after Yuan Tan inspected the camps, he found that many of them were vomiting and diarrhea, which also made many of them exhausted.

For Yuan Tan, a future man, he knew that these northerners might start to feel a little uncomfortable.

Yuan Tan could only retreat from the attack and let the army recuperate in the city of Hanzhong.

At the same time, let people first treat the surrounding counties in Huairou.

If there is an effect, it can also reduce weapons.

But everyone didn't seem to notice such an abnormal situation in the army, so they were very puzzled by Yuan Tan's move of not taking advantage of the victory to pursue.

The reason Yuan Tan gave was also a bit strange, but it was that the army had just entered Shu, and it was to let the people in Shu accept the arrival of their army.

The reason why I didn't tell the real reason in the army was because I was afraid that this matter would disturb the morale of the army.

Just used this reason.

This makes those generals who only know how to lead troops to fight and charge into battle even more confused.

And it was at this time that Meng Huo arrived from Nanzhong with his people.

Meng Huo was also excited about the vast land when he first entered Hanzhong.

If all this is used to grow food, it will be a considerable income for them.

And I got it from Zhuge Liang without spending a single soldier.

This land picked up in vain is even more exciting.

The barbarians who came with him also had the same ideas.

But before Meng Huo got out of this joy, he was rewarded by visiting the horse.

It is said that there are still a large number of Han troops stationed in Hanzhong.

This made Meng Huo a little confused.

Didn't you agree to reward yourself here?
Why didn't Zhuge Liang withdraw all the Shu troops?

This good mood also disturbed him.

Then the barbarian army, also under the leadership of Meng Huo, pressed on Hanzhong City.

When Yuan Tan heard that there were barbarian troops appearing on the territory of Hanzhong, he couldn't answer the doubts on his face.

According to historical time, Meng Huo shouldn't be from Nanzhong at this moment?
Why are they all leading their troops to Hanzhong at this moment?

Didn't the Shu army have the slightest resistance to this alien race?
After all, the two armies are now at war, which is also a contradiction between the Han family itself.

Once a foreign race appears, it should be unanimously reported to the outside world. Why did the barbarians appear in this Hanzhong?
Yuan Tan also couldn't help guessing that it might be because he exhausted the Shu army too much, which made it impossible for him to divide his troops to deal with these alien races.

And Yuan Tan's conjecture was only half right.

The current Shu army is due to excessive consumption, but as for dealing with the barbarians, Zhuge Liang never thought about it.

Letting the barbarians into Shu this time also wanted to take advantage of the time when the two tigers were fighting to get a moment of respite.

But now that the barbarian army is under the city of Hanzhong, it is useless for Yuan Tan to think about the reason.

At this moment, they can only lead the army out of the city, just to see what the barbarian army wants to do.

If the barbarian army really spies on the Han land, Yuan Tan is not afraid of wasting time and drives them back to Nanzhong.

Just like this, the two armies encountered each other not far outside Hanzhong City.

When the two armies confront each other, both sides are also extremely vigilant.

Meng Huo also came out first and said, "Who are you, why are you stationing troops on my territory?"

When Meng Huo's voice fell, Yuan Tan was also stunned. Is this man crazy? When did Hanzhong become his barbarian territory?

Yuan Tan also responded: "I am Yuan Tan, the king of Qi. This Hanzhong is the territory of my Han family. When did it become your barbarian?"

When Meng Huo heard that he was a member of the royal family of the Han Dynasty, he presumably had the same status as Liu Bei, the King of Hanzhong, and said politely for a moment: "This place has already been awarded to me by the King of Hanzhong, so you should go back."

Only then did Yuan Tan realize that the barbarian army was not sent to Hanzhong, but was released by the Shu army.

It's fine to let it go, and rewarding this territory to the barbarians, isn't this an act of treason?
Yuan Tan sneered and said, "The king of Hanzhong has great power. Who allowed him to confer rewards? Now that Emperor Xian is still there, how can he be the master of this fiefdom?"

And Meng Huo also didn't understand the rules of the Han Dynasty, so he also didn't understand that the king of the fief had only the right to appoint, but no law to entrust the land.

He couldn't understand what Yuan Tan meant.

Seeing Yuan Tan's intentions, he refused to admit that Hanzhong belonged to Meng Huo.

For a while, he said angrily: "Since I persuade you with good words, don't blame me, Meng Huo, for being ruthless."

Yuan Tan laughed when he heard that he called himself Meng Huo.

He didn't expect that it was Meng Huo who came here this time.

After all, Yuan Tan was familiar with the history of the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so he naturally knew about Meng Huo.

He had heard the story of the seven captures of Meng Huo no less than a thousand times.

Now that I see this person, I feel a little interesting for a while.

He must have plans in his heart, and seeing that Meng Huo was about to start a war.

Then he said: "That's the case, then we will see the real chapter in the swordsman."

After speaking, the leader returned to Hanzhong City.

This is the first time the two armies have talked with each other.

Meng Huo also asked the army to camp here. Since the two armies could not reconcile, they would fight.

After all, he hadn't done anything for many years when he took the position of barbarian king.

Thinking about it now is also a little blood-boiling.

After Yuan Tan retreated, Zhao Yun was a little puzzled why Yuan Tan didn't directly lead his troops to kill the barbarian army just now.

Yuan Tan then explained: "Although the barbarian army has traveled a long distance, they should be tired now, but according to my observation just now, the combat power of these barbarians does not seem to have weakened, so they retreated."

Zhao Yun immediately said: "Even so, our army's combat strength is not weak, so why worry about it, my lord?"

Yuan Tan looked at Zhao Yun, and immediately asked, "I'm afraid Zilong hasn't noticed the abnormality in the army yet?"

Zhao Yun was also a little puzzled and asked: "Is there anything unusual in the army?"

Yuan Tan shook his head and said bitterly: "Most of the soldiers in our army are from the north. Now that they have just entered Shu, they are somewhat disobedient. That's why many soldiers in our army may not have any strength at all. One, if there is a real fight this time, the outcome will be unpredictable."

After hearing what Yuan Tan said, Zhao Yun was also surprised.

Zhao Yun knew about the vomiting and diarrhea of ​​the soldiers in the army.

But he thought it was caused by eating bad food.

It wasn't until Yuan Tan said that the climate was unacceptable that Zhao Yun really understood the reason.

At this moment, I also feel that I am a little careless.

I didn't even find the key point of this matter.

If there is no Yuan Tan, I am afraid that our side will really lose a lot of people.
