If you want to win a war, you rely on intelligence. Without enough intelligence, an army will be nothing more than deaf and blind on the battlefield.
Seeing that Zhang Fei's battle was ineffective, Zhuge Liang appeared in person, making Zhang Jia talk about smoke and treachery. In short, there was not a single curse word in Zhuge Liang's words, but it made people have the urge to immediately lead his troops out of the city to fight.
"Assemble your troops and horses and follow me out of the city." He opened his jaw and said coldly.
"General, no, there are 30,000 enemy troops outside the city, and there are only 2,000 defenders in the city. If there is any loss in Hanzhong, the Holy One will blame him." Mi Wei advised.
"Humph, it's just a little Zhuge Liang who dares to speak arrogant words under the city. Let's see how I can defeat him. General Mi is on the city, holding down the battle for me." He opened his jaw.
The Xiliang Army's military discipline and promotions are extremely strict. It has even been marked out. How much credit does a low-level soldier need to make to become a corps commander or even a general? Zhang Jia was only banned because of his meritorious service to the Xiliang Army.
As a camp general, he had the same official position as Mi Wei, but when Guo Si left, he handed over the power of guarding Hanzhong to Zhang Zha, and Mi Wei could only watch.
How could a person like Zhang Jia be afraid of the little Zhuge Liang when he was the commander of the Jizhou Army's Euphorbia soldiers and led a thousand Euphorbia soldiers to conquer all enemies? When he became famous, Zhuge Liang was just farming at home.
A thousand halberd warriors, led by Zhang Jaw, were invincible. They killed a thousand soldiers and horses commanded by Zhang Fei, and they were turned upside down without any resistance.
After a fight, Zhang Jaw also came to his senses. He was not a reckless man. What he did just now violated Guo Si's original intention. He was not dazzled by the victory. After that, no matter how Zhang Fei Yan Yan shouted outside the city, even the soldiers
No matter how weak he was, he did not leave the city.
Facing such a guard, Zhuge Liang was speechless and could only surround Hanzhong to see the consequences.
After hearing the news that Hanzhong was besieged, Jia Rong's face became heavy. Zhuge Liang's various legends made Jia Rong dare not despise it at all. If Hanzhong made a mistake, the attack on Yizhou would become a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.
"Pass my decree and gather 30,000 soldiers and horses at the school grounds in the city." Jia Rong said seriously.
The next day, in the court hall, after listening to all the news told by the ministers, Jia Rong told the news about the siege of Hanzhong.
Jia Xu, the Minister of War, immediately paid homage: "Your Majesty, Hanzhong is related to the army's war in Yizhou, and the army should be sent to rescue as soon as possible."
"Well, what you said is true, and that's exactly what I meant. Yesterday I ordered 30,000 troops to support Hanzhong. It would be best to keep Zhuge Liang in Hanzhong and cut off Liu Bei's right and left arm." Jia Rong said with a look on his face.
He said coldly.
"In this battle, I will personally lead the expedition and strive to pacify Yizhou in the shortest possible time. All supplies such as grain and grass must be fully prepared without any mistakes."
"The Holy One is worth a thousand pieces of gold, so he cannot go into battle."
"The Holy One is the foundation of the country, how can he go to the battlefield in person?"
...
As soon as Jia Rong finished speaking, he heard the sound of stopping from below, and said with a cold face: "Soldiers are a national matter, and I, the commander of the army, can fight in person, which can boost the morale of the soldiers to the greatest extent. Besides, I also started in the army, so what?
He is unable to fight. As the king of a country, he doesn’t even dare to go to the battlefield. How can he be a qualified saint?"
Jia Xu, Guo Jia and other officials who knew Jia Rong well just stood aside with their hands tied. They understood that once Jia Rong decided something, it would be difficult to change it, and there were many benefits to the imperial commander's personal expedition. Most of the generals who advised him were from the Ministry of Rites.
officials.
"I will use my actions to tell the people of the world that anyone who dares to block the path of the Xiliang Army will be killed without mercy." At this moment, Jia Rong's domineering attitude was so high that all the officials were stunned.
Not only did the Hanzhong defenders open their jaws and get the news about Jia Rong's personal expedition, Zhuge Liang also got it. Unexpectedly, he was going to fight Jia Rong so soon. Zhuge Liang was excited but also afraid, because Jia Rong's departure meant victory.
, everyone in the world knows it.
A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, let alone a figure like Zhuge Liang. After a little delay, he immediately deployed his troops.
Flags fluttering, covering the sky and the sun, 30,000 Xiliang troops marched majestically to Yizhou. The common people and merchants of Luoyang gathered on both sides of the street, feeling the tyranny of the Liang Kingdom's troops. At this moment, Luoyang was boiling, and everything
All the merchants stopped their business and gathered in the streets and even outside the city to see off the Xiliang army.
In the tall carriage, Jia Rong felt the enjoyment of being an emperor. Walking on such a road, there was no bumpy feeling. The voices of the people became louder and louder, making him feel as if the world was in the palm of his hand.
Three thousand tigers and soldiers, with bright flags and armour, stared at the left and right with bright eyes.
Zhuge Liang intended to capture Hanzhong before Jia Rong arrived. In this way, he would have the capital to confront the Xiliang army. However, the guards in the city were stronger than expected. They attacked day and night without making any progress. Every time
After storming the city wall, he was immediately driven down. There were also weapons such as serial crossbows in the city, which made Zhuge Liang suffer a lot.
Through this battle to defend the city, Zhang Jia also felt the cohesion of the Xiliang army. No matter how powerful the enemy was, they always kept the enemy out of the city.
The strong fighting power and recovery power make Zhang Jaw confident.
One month later, the Xiliang army arrived, which meant that Zhuge Liang's siege failed. Zhuge Liang had 40,000 troops and the Xiliang army also had 30,000.
Zhuge Liang made the clear choice to retreat ten miles and began to defend.
The imperial commander's personal expedition was not just a child's play. The troops invested in Yizhou reached nearly 100,000, and the daily consumption was a huge amount.
On the second day, an army of 20,000 troops appeared in Zhuge Liang's field of vision. They marched in neat steps. As they marched, there seemed to be a faint momentum rising rapidly, which made people feel breathless.
"Military advisor, Jia Rong has arrived in person, what should you do?" Facing Jia Rong, Zhang Fei was still confident.
"General Zhang, the Xiliang army has just arrived. If you don't fight, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be unstable." Zhuge Liang said.
"You gather three thousand elite soldiers and go out to fight the Xiliang army. As Jia Rong, you will definitely not bully the small. If you win this battle, the morale of the army will definitely be at a high level."
In the face of a powerful enemy, any conspiracy or conspiracy is just a cloud. At this moment, Zhuge Liang felt that what he had learned in his heart was impossible to use against the Xiliang Army. It was too strong, which was Zhuge Liang's evaluation of the Xiliang Army.
However, in front of one's own soldiers, one must maintain sufficient calmness, otherwise there is no way to convince the crowd. Zhuge Liang still understands this very well. Zhang Fei's challenge can, to a certain extent, show Zhuge Liang's attitude towards the Xiliang army, even if he cannot win.
, and it can also save some face. After all, when they first came, we retreated.
Facing Zhang Fei's challenge, Jia Rong just sneered and ordered Lu Bu to mobilize three thousand heavy cavalry to fight. The three thousand heavy cavalry, but this time Jia Rong sent out the most elite force.
After Lu Bu heard Jia Rong's order, he was secretly dumbfounded. This was clearly about using the main army to quickly defeat the enemy, and there was also an element of bullying Zhang Fei. However, Lu Bu naturally would not disobey the emperor's order. This kind of bullying,
Isn't it just showing off the military power of the Xiliang Army?
The three thousand cavalry quickly completed their gathering. Lu Bu gave the order and filed out of the four opened city gates to meet Zhang Fei's challenge.
Seeing Lu Bu and three thousand cavalry going out to fight, Zhang Fei's expression kept changing. He originally thought that after a fierce battle with the Xiliang army, he would order the retreat. But now he saw that the opponents were all cavalry wrapped in armor. How to fight?
, comparing our own soldiers with the enemy, they are like beggars. The equipment of the two soldiers is not on the same level at all.
"Who is coming?" Zhang Fei yelled.
In response to Zhang Fei's knowing questions, Lu Bu did not answer, and directly led his cavalry to attack Zhang Fei. His intention was obvious. Since you retreated without knowing the difficulty, you can't blame me for bullying you.
Facing the rumbling momentum of three thousand cavalry, Zhang Fei gritted his teeth and faced the difficulty. He was a fierce general in the army. He could not show the slightest fear in such a battle. Moreover, Zhang Fei was also a ruthless man, even if he faced it alone
Lu Bu was also unafraid.
The two parties fought together, but within half an hour, the winner was decided. Zhang Fei's army was beaten to a pulp. When they saw the cavalry coming, they retreated one after another. Countless soldiers were knocked away and died in the hands of the enemy.
, on the contrary, they are in the minority, which is also the strength of the cavalry.
"What a shameless Jia Rong, he sent cavalry directly to fight our army." Yan Yan said sternly. When the two sides fought today, he watched from outside the camp and charged the cavalry to death. With all his indomitable momentum, he
Looking back, facing such an enemy, even he couldn't muster any fighting spirit. He was as brave as Zhang Fei, but he was still firmly restrained by three or five cavalry. Not to mention the soldiers at the bottom, it was a one-sided massacre.
That’s all.
"General Yan, now that we are facing a powerful enemy, we must stay calm and carefully defend the camp to avoid a sneak attack by the Xiliang army." Zhuge Liang said slowly.
"Mr. Zhuge's words are true. I have heard that the Xiliang army likes to sneak attack on camps and city gates. I will go back and prepare now."
Looking at Yan Yan's hurried away figure, Zhuge Liang's expression dropped. This battle was lost too quickly. It also showed Jia Rong's determination. I'm afraid that if he wants to retreat at this time, it won't be that simple. With superior strength,
To fight, I am afraid that Jia Rong will lead the army to attack his own camp tomorrow. Everything is beyond Zhuge Liang's expectations. In his opinion, Jia Rong is the Nine-Five Lord, and there is no need for him in such a battle.
If he came forward, he would at most send his elite soldiers to support him. Now it seems that Jia Rong is determined to defeat his side quickly.
Zhuge Liang was not disappointed. On the next day, Jia Rong personally led 20,000 troops to attack Zhuge Liang's army. Dense rain of stones fell from the sky. The simple camp gate fell crookedly in just a moment. The infantry stepped forward to face the enemy's arrow rain.
, after pulling away the antlers, the cavalry came to kill him.
