Hanzhong:

The infantry division Chen arrived and received an order from the military to send troops to Chang'an. He called the acting chief of staff Yan Pu and the four regiment commanders Zhang Wei, Yang Ren, Yang Bo and Yang Ang to the barracks.

Chen Dao has nearly 25,000 infantrymen under his banner, of which 1,000 are special mountain soldiers.

After several years of training, Chen Daozhang's soldiers and horses have become an elite division, and they cooperate well with each other in various battle formations.

"Everyone, I have just received an order from the military headquarters for our division to send troops to the Chang'an area. I am going to leave five thousand troops and horses to garrison Hanzhong, and the rest of the troops will go out together."

Chen Daodao.

Over the past few years, Chen Dao's Infantry Division has been clearing out bandits, road bullies, bandits, and natives in the surrounding areas of Hanzhong.

Always longed for war.

Now that the opportunity has come, everyone's morale is high and their fighting spirit is overwhelming.

"As you command!"

Several group leaders held their fists in the air.

"The troops will be sent out early tomorrow morning. Military division Yan will be responsible for the logistics and supplies."

Chen Daodao.

"As you command!"

Yan Pu Road.

The next day.

Boom!

Chen arrived and his troops were dispatched.

But what?

From Hanzhong to Chang'an, you have to pass through the Qinling Mountains. This road is not easy to walk. Relatively speaking, Chencang Road is slightly better.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the other two roads are narrow paths.

Twenty days later, when the army was only dozens of miles away from Chencang, Chen Dao received a report from the forward army Zhang Ren.

"General Chen, Commander Zhang requested permission to attack Chencang secretly."

Send orders to soldiers.

"How many soldiers and horses are there on Chencang?"

Chen Daodao.

"Report, when Fatty Dong was in charge of the government, Chen Cang always left three thousand soldiers and horses to garrison. However, later, Li Jue and Guo Si took charge of the government.

After removing the defenders of Chencang, there are currently less than 500 old, weak, sick and disabled. General Zhang Wei said that Chencang can be captured in one fell swoop."

Send orders to soldiers.

Chen Dao unfolded the map and looked at it.

"Okay! Tell Zhang Wei to be quick and send people to climb up the Chencang city wall at night without alerting the defenders."

Chen Daodao.

"As you command!"

Send orders to soldiers.

Two days later, Chen Dao led the Chinese army to Chencang and was very relieved to see that Chencang had been captured by Zhang Wei.

"Meet General Chen!"

Zhang Weidao.

"Zhang Wei, you did a good job. This general will take note of your contribution."

Chen Daodao.

"Thank you for the promotion, General!"

Zhang Weidao.

The army entered Chencang City, had dinner, and called everyone together for a meeting to discuss how to capture the Yongzhou area.

"Everyone, please tell me how we can march into the army?"

Chen Daodao.

"General, the military has ordered us to capture Chang'an City in one fell swoop. We have Zhong Yao cooperating in the city, so we have nothing to worry about."

Yang Bodao.

"General, the military asked us to capture the Yongzhou area, not just Chang'an City. There is Zhong Yao in Chang'an City as an internal response.

We can slow down the capture and capture Tianshui, Longxi and other areas first. We can catch these places by surprise.

After capturing Tianshui, Longxi and other cities, we can then return our troops to attack Chang'an."

Yan Pu Road.

Yan Pu was worthy of being Zhang Lu's counselor. His ideas were different from those of ordinary people, and he put forward opposite opinions, which made Chen Dao slightly stunned.

Chen Dao looked at the map and felt that what Yan Pu said was very correct and should not be affected by the military's orders.

"Tell me, everyone, is Commander Yan's strategy feasible?"

Chen Daodao.

"General, I feel humbled by my position. It is better to strictly follow the military orders. Once Chang'an City is captured, we will send troops to attack Tianshui, Longxi and other places."

Yang Rendao.

"General, I agree with Commander Yan's plan. In this way, we don't have to waste time on the road.

Take Tianshui, Longxi and other cities, and then follow the trend. Otherwise, our division will have to turn back, which is not cost-effective."

Zhang Weidao.

Zhang Wei is the younger brother of Zhang Lu. Although he is not famous, he is still a descendant of the wise sage Zhang Liang.

"Okay, I have decided to adopt the strategy of Commander Yan and attack Tianshui and Longxi first. But Chencang is very important.

Keep Zhang Wei stationed in Chencang, and don't let Chencang change hands. This node is very important, it is the key node connecting Chang'an and Tianshui, so there must be no loss."

Chen Daodao.

"As you command!"

Zhang Weidao.

The next day, Chen Dao led the infantry division to attack Tianshui City with great momentum.

Tianshui is a county town and an important town in Yongzhou. It has been the core area of ​​Qin for many years and is also a place full of talents.

In Tianshui City, the family surnamed Jiang is a big family and has high influence, power and strength in Tianshui City.

The military order to Chen Dao was mixed with a letter from Qin Qi to Chen Dao, telling Chen Dao to find a way to bring Jiang Xu, Jiang Jiong, Jiang Yin, Yang Fu and others under his control.

Qin Qi's target was of course Jiang Wei, Jiang Jiong's son, who was a disciple of Brother Zhu and a great general in the late Shu Kingdom.

At this time, Jiang Wei was not born yet, but he was just planning in advance so that he could not be buried by a generation of talented people. When the time came, he would be well cultivated by the academy.

The army moved up the Wei River and reached Tianshui City a few days later.

The walls of Tianshui city are high and thick, and the defense measures are complete, so it is not easy to fight. There are defenders standing on the city wall, ready to attack.

Chen Dao rode his horse and fought to the bottom of the city wall.

"Are Jiang Xu, Jiang Jiong, Jiang Yin, Yang Fu and other generals on the city wall there? If so, please come out of the city to talk."

Chen Daodao said loudly.

These people were mentioned in Qin Qi's letter. Qin Qi asked Chen Dao to take care of the others.

Standing on the city wall, Jiang Xu, Jiang Jiong, Jiang Yin, and Yang Fu were a little confused as to why they clicked on themselves.

Don't order it, Lord Prefect.

Is it a divorce plan?

However, Jiang Xu was a military commander. After asking the prefect, he decided to go out of the city to talk and see what the Xiakou army had to say.

After all, the Xiakou Army occupies half of the world. At this time, cities such as Tianshui and Longxi are considered uncontrolled cities.

It basically became controlled by the big family.

Tianshui City is controlled by the Jiang family.

Xiakou's army is huge, and if they remain stubborn, they will suffer a devastating blow. After all, the life and death of a big family is at stake.

Guchi!

Guchi!

The city gate opened, and a middle-aged general ran out of the city gate on horseback and stopped dozens of steps away from Chen Dao.
