"Wishful thinking!" Cao Cao shouted loudly without waiting for the other party to finish.

"My Tanghai army is here to save the people of the world."

"We are eradicating you, the worms."

"How can I leave you here?"

"Detain this man and wait for his punishment!"

Cao Cao gave an order, and the Tanghai soldiers rushed up with a bang.

Zhang Wei was pressed to the ground in two or three moves.

He tied him tightly with hemp rope.

"Emissaries are not killed when two armies are fighting!" Zhang Wei was pressed to the ground by Tanghai soldiers, still roaring.

"It's immoral for you to do this!"

"You can't treat envoys like this!"

Cao Cao snorted coldly, "Of course, envoys are not killed when two armies are fighting."

"This general orders that you will not be killed."

"After all, it is wartime now."

"But when we take Hanzhong, it will no longer be wartime."

"What can we say if I kill you then?"

Zhang Wei's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what Cao Cao said.

"This, this, this..."

He smacked his lips, not knowing how to fight back.

If the two armies do not kill the envoys during the battle, doesn't that mean they can be killed without fighting?

Uh...

Zhang Wei was depressed.

"Keep marching!" Cao Cao issued a military order with a wave of his hand.

The resting Tang Haijun continued on their journey.

Zhang Lu in Hanzhong City always sent people to observe the movements.

Hearing that his brother Zhang Wei did not return from the Tang Haijun, the enemy army set off again.

This made him smell a bad smell.

The Tang Haijun did not want him to surrender at all!

Otherwise, how could they not release his brother.

Instead, they detained the other party.

Every move of the Tang Haijun represented that he, the governor of Hanzhong, was going to be killed.

What to do?

Zhang Lu paced back and forth in the hall of the official temple, scratching his head anxiously.

But no official could give him advice.

Zhang Lu, who was anxious, did not notice that many officials sneaked out of the hall and ran away.

Various news were flying around in Hanzhong City.

It was rumored that the Tang navy was very cruel and killed anyone they saw.

This made the nobles and the people panic.

Those who had the ability and property immediately packed up their things, loaded them onto wooden carts and fled.

The officials in Hanzhong took the lead and rushed to the south gate.

They could not care too much now.

There was no other place except to flee to Yizhou.

They could only bite the bullet and go to Yizhou.

By the time Zhang Lu received the news, nearly half of the officials in the entire city had already fled.

He reacted and immediately ordered people to block the city and no one was allowed to leave the city.

Defend it to the death!

Zhang Lu had no way out, so he had to choose this.

Liu Bei in the south was not a good master either.

If he surrendered to the other side, he would inevitably be killed.

A man is innocent, but he is guilty of holding a treasure.

Zhang Lu knew very well that if he brought a lot of money with him, Liu Bei would definitely target him.

What happened after the big-eared thief occupied Yizhou was also reported to Hanzhong.

All kinds of local nobles were purged by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei concentrated a huge amount of wealth.

What's more, the other party had already made it clear that they would not send troops to support him.

This made Zhang Lu dare not give up Hanzhong City and go to Yizhou.

Since there was no place to go and Tang Hai would not accept his surrender, he would defend it to the death.

Fight to the death!

After making the decision, Zhang Lu immediately issued an order for the Hanzhong soldiers to recruit people from all over the city.

All men who could hold weapons and walk would join the army to defend the city together.

If anyone's family did not act according to the order, the soldiers would rush in and massacre the family.

Kill the whole family.

See who dares to disobey the order.

Whether local officials, nobles or ordinary people, they were all within the scope of conscription.

Especially the nobles, they had to contribute all their private slaves.

Otherwise, it would be a crime of treason.

Immediately confiscate their homes and punish them severely.

Under the heavy pressure of Zhang Lu, the nobles and officials in the city who had not yet had a chance to escape had to contribute their slaves.

Join the army and prepare to resist the attacking Tang navy.

Although they were extremely reluctant, they had to follow Zhang Lu's orders.

There were two nobles who resisted, and their entire families were slaughtered on the spot.

This made all the wealthy families in Hanzhong tremble.

Zhang Lu was really cruel when he was ruthless.

With thunder-like means, Zhang Lu quickly integrated all the forces in the city and waited for the arrival of the Tang navy.

Cao Cao led the army forward.

Since he refused Zhang Lu's surrender, he had sufficient means to capture the city.

The detained Zhang Wei couldn't figure it out.

They could have easily captured a huge city, but the Tanghai people turned a blind eye to their surrender.

What's the reason?

What did the Tanghai army rely on to make them so confident?After some observation during the march, he found that Tanghai soldiers were not afraid of the upcoming siege.

Instead, their morale was even higher.

Moreover, Zhang Wei was surprised to find that there were quite a few Hanzhong soldiers in Tanghai's team!

That was the team sent out of the city by Zhang Lu before.

Those soldiers took the initiative to help Tanghai's army transport supplies, and no one ran away even without the Tanghai army's supervision.

He found many opportunities, and those captives had a very good chance to escape.

But no one ran away.

What's even more outrageous is that the two soldiers sent to watch over him were actually Hanzhong captives!

Damn it!

Zhang Wei cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

The two captives holding short knives looked at him like a prisoner.

If he made any unusual movements, the two soldiers would probably swing their short knives and chop him without hesitation.

The Hanzhong captives were devoted to the Tanghai army, which made Zhang Wei puzzled.

What happened to make these soldiers undergo such a huge transformation?

What kind of magic does Tang Hai have?

Various questions emerged in his heart.

Zhang Wei couldn't understand Tang Hai even more.

During the rapid march, Cao Cao led the Tang Hai army to the city of Hanzhong.

Hanzhong was already an isolated city, and there was no help, so Cao Cao had no pressure to attack.

"Besiege the city on all sides!"

Under Cao Cao's order, the Tang Hai army deployed a formation and surrounded the city on all sides.

Zhang Lu, who received the news, put on armor and ran up the city wall with the remaining officials in the city.

It doesn't matter if you don't look, but you will be shocked when you see it.

The Tang Hai army lined up outside the city, and the neat appearance made him shudder.

Each soldier was as strong as a general.

They were also wearing shining armor and carrying shining weapons.

All kinds of aspects made Zhang Lu's heart fluctuate violently.

"No wonder..."

Zhang Lu rubbed his hands, and a huge layer of bitterness appeared on his face.

No wonder the army he sent out to ambush was easily defeated by the Tang navy.

With such an army, who the hell can beat it?

Even if he used the knife in his hand to chop the Tanghai soldiers, he probably couldn't break the enemy's armor.

The equipment of ordinary soldiers is too good, right?

Not only Zhang Lu, but also the officials and soldiers in Hanzhong gasped when they saw the scene outside the city.

The strength of the Tang navy was far beyond their imagination.

Many people regretted it so much that they beat their chests and stamped their feet.

Why didn't they run away with those people at the first time?

Why do you still feel sorry for those real estates that you can't take away?
