The Three Kingdoms were fighting for supremacy, but I was busy with GDPThe Three Kingdoms were fight

"In addition." Pang Tong continued.

"There is another deeper meaning in this."

Pang Tong took two steps forward and came to Liu Bei's side, lowering his voice.

"Retreat."

Liu Bei's eyes widened instantly, and then dimmed.

He had to admit that despite his efforts to develop Yizhou, he still had no idea about Tang Hai.

He didn't know when Tang Hai's army would come, and he would have to face an unknown degree of attack.

"Okay." Liu Bei nodded.

"No harm in saying it anyway."

"In that case, tell Wei Yan to lead the troops to attack immediately."

"Attack the Nanman, and try to open up a piece of land in the south and build a new city."

"Yes!" Pang Tong responded, and went down to arrange the relevant matters.

The whole Yizhou became busy.

Various materials were constantly mobilized to the south.

Fifty thousand soldiers followed Wei Yan to the south under Pang Tong's conscription.

Except for the 50,000 soldiers who went to the battle, the rest of the soldiers in Yizhou were all gathered in Chengdu, Zitong and Jiangzhou City.

The total number of soldiers in the three cities exceeded 300,000.

Liu Bei was aggressive.

All men who could hold a weapon were incorporated into the army.

Be ready to deal with the upcoming war at any time.

…

Tang Hai has already won nine-tenths of the world.

Only Yizhou is left.

Whether it is civil officials or military generals, their mentality has changed.

Under Liu Yu's order, Tang Hai soldiers began to gather towards Jiangling.

Waiting for the battle to enter Yizhou.

On the other front, Liu Yu was deployed in the Liangzhou area.

Cao Cao went there with some military generals.

Formed the Western Front Corps.

After arriving in Chang'an, Cao Cao began to recruit troops.

After the soldiers of Xiliang gathered in Chang'an, they opened up to Hanzhong.

A small part of the Yuzhou army went from Xiangyang to Shangyong.

Two routes headed for Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu, who ruled Hanzhong, was scared to death when he heard the news.

He had already cut off contact with Yizhou, but it was really dangerous at this moment.

He ordered people to rush to Yizhou for help.

The reason he used was very appropriate, that the lips and teeth would be cold.

He hoped that Liu Bei, who occupied Yizhou, would send troops to rescue.

After receiving the news, Liu Bei and Pang Tong had a secret discussion and finally decided not to rescue.

At this time, when the reinforcements arrived, Hanzhong City might have fallen.

At that time, no matter how many soldiers were sent, they would have to face the attack of the Tanghai army.

That was not what Liu Bei wanted to see.

What's more, Liu Bei, who had a clear understanding of the combat power of the Tanghai army, believed that fighting against the Tanghai army in the wilderness was tantamount to sending himself to death.

No matter how many soldiers there were, it was impossible to defeat the Tanghai army.

It was still most important to safely defend Zitong City.

After all, if they waited for the attack, no matter how powerful the Tanghai army was, they would not have much advantage in the battle of defending the city.

They had to pay with human lives.

As long as the enemy's living forces are killed, there is a chance to defend the city.

Without Liu Bei's rescue, Hanzhong City is in danger.

Zhang Lu sent two generals, Yang Ren and Yang Ang.

Choose a suitable place to ambush.

Prepare to suddenly attack from the rear when the Tanghai army attacks the city, cooperate with the soldiers who rushed out of the city, and attack from both sides to defeat the Tanghai army.

But imagination is beautiful, but reality is skinny.

Cao Cao marched very cautiously. The scouts he sent discovered the ambushed enemy army, but they were not discovered by the enemy.

Cao Cao made a prompt decision and sent Ma Chao, Pang De and Ma Dai to lead the cavalry to surround the ambushed enemy army.

Ma Chao shot the enemy's main general Yang Ren to death with one arrow, and then broke into the collapsed enemy formation and took Yang Ang directly.

In the midst of thousands of troops, he took Yang Ang's life with one shot.

Ma Chao led his troops to collect prisoners, and most of the soldiers in Hanzhong surrendered.

The main general was killed, and the soldiers had no intention of persisting at all.

After Ma Chao led the Tanghai cavalry to shout that they would not be killed if they surrendered, the Hanzhong soldiers all threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground waiting for the Tanghai army to take over.

Cao Cao arrived later and led the infantry to reorganize the prisoners.

Cao Cao, who had participated in many combat missions in Tanghai, was very experienced in reorganizing the prisoners.

After a disbanding and reorganization, the Tanghai soldiers were assigned to the team to serve as ideological workers.

During the march, the Hanzhong prisoners were explained about the living conditions of the people in various districts of Tanghai.

Let the Hanzhong soldiers fully understand that there are such good government offices in the world.

Grievance meeting, ideological improvement meeting.

During the rest time on the march, various Tanghai-specific activities were held.

The ideological awareness of the Hanzhong soldiers was greatly improved.

Prisoners were originally a relatively large burden for each army.

But after the Hanzhong prisoners were reorganized by Tanghai, they took the initiative to undertake the transportation of materials during the march.

Helped the logistics personnel in Tang Hai's army to transport supplies.

His outstanding performance won Cao Cao's praise.

MoreCao Cao promised that if the captives cooperated with the Tang navy when attacking Hanzhong City and shook the morale of the Hanzhong army, they could get more rewards.

Those who performed well even had the opportunity to join the Tang navy.

The message was passed on and instantly received the response of the captives.

The captives, who were eager to fight, knew clearly for the first time why they were fighting.

They also thought about it and must work hard.

Strive to join the Tang navy and live a good life like the people of Tanghai with their families.

After Cao Cao integrated the captives, he assigned them tasks.

Let half of the captives return to Hanzhong City in batches.

Just say that the soldiers who were defeated in the battle returned to the city after fleeing in all directions.

The captives who received the task were so excited that they wanted to rush back to Hanzhong City immediately to cooperate with the Tang navy's offensive.

The captives who stayed in the Tang navy were not discouraged.

They were incorporated into the Tanghai infantry by Cao Cao and became the reserve of the Tang navy.

...

Hanzhong City.

Zhang Lu was panicked.

The soldiers who fled back described the Tang navy as being as powerful as the heavenly soldiers.

Zhang Lu didn't believe it at first.

But as more and more soldiers returned, they all said the same thing after being questioned separately.

This made Zhang Lu reconsider the Tang navy's strength.

Hanzhong, an isolated city, must not be a match for Tang Hai.

Even if the other party did not attack the city, they would just surround the city.

He would starve to death.

Tang Hai almost occupied the world, and subsequent supplies could be transported continuously.

Hanzhong could never fight against Tang Hai.

Zhang Lu wanted to surrender.

But he was a little worried about Tang Hai's past actions.

After all, no matter where the other party arrived, they would attack the local nobles.

I don't know how many noble families fell under Tang Hai's butcher knife.

If Tang Hai was very good to ordinary people, he was very cruel to the clans in the world.

He could be as cruel as he could be.

After some thought, Zhang Lu still had some illusions.

He sent his brother Zhang Wei out of the city secretly to the Tang army to submit a surrender document.

…

In the wilderness, the Tang army stopped resting.

When Cao Cao heard that Zhang Lu had sent someone, he took his men to meet him.

"Meet the general." Zhang Wei saluted respectfully.

He took out the document from his arms and handed it over respectfully.

Zhang Wei said sincerely: "Hearing that the Tang army is coming, the governor of Hanzhong, who is also my brother, has no intention of resisting."

"I hope to open the gate and surrender."

"I beg the general to save the lives of my Zhang family."

"And leave us some land and money so that we can live a normal life."
