In March 196 AD, after a three-month short rest, Qingtian City once again showed its ferocious fangs to the world, with an army of 700,000, with Wei Yan, the surrendered general of Jingzhou, as the vanguard, and the famous Shu generals Zhang Ren and Yan Yan as the left and right.
Two generals sent their troops out of Jiameng Pass and marched directly to Hanzhong.
To be honest, Zhang Lu has been able to deal with Liu Zhang and his son for so many years, and he has many subordinates. Wen Youyan Pu, although he cannot compare with the first-rate counselors, he is at least second-rate. In terms of generals, Zhang Wei, Yang Ren, Yang Ang,
He is not an outstanding general in history, but he is not incompetent either. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. In addition, Hanzhong has a dangerous terrain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although he has been in constant war with Liu Zhang, he has never lost an inch.
land.
Hanzhong County belongs to Yizhou and is a typical territorial territory. It is surrounded by mountains and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Jiameng Pass is a dangerous pass that guards Hanzhong's army from invading Shu. Although according to legend, there is a Yinping Trail, even Fazheng, who has lived in Shu for a long time, only knows that there is such a road. The specific location is not clear, let alone
Hanzhong was defeated by Zhang Lu, so Jiameng Pass became a battleground. Whoever occupied Jiameng Pass would take the initiative.
Before that, Jiameng Pass had been in Liu Zhang's hands, but unfortunately he had never made any achievements. Although Jiameng Pass was dangerous, the terrain was narrow and it was impossible to accumulate too many troops at once, so he never captured Hanzhong.
Qin Tian mobilized almost all the troops and horses in Shu this time, but he was not prepared to put all these troops into the battlefield. It was absolutely a waste, and the terrain of Hanzhong made it impossible for the 700,000-strong army to be fully deployed.
Attacking in waves, a typical refueling tactic. Even if these soldiers are not his direct lineage, Qin Tian is not willing to waste them in a place like this. Outside of Hanzhong, there is a vast territory, and there are too many places to use troops.
Qin Tian was not willing to waste any of his troops.
Although it was claimed to be 700,000, it was just to scare Zhang Lu. In fact, only 100,000 elite soldiers from Shu were sent to the expedition, and the remaining 600,000 troops were planned to be stationed in Hanzhong after Qin Tian captured it, waiting for the time to come.
, then sent troops to Guanzhong, which is the land of Longxing. Even if you don’t believe this, strategically, it can provide great strategic depth to Qingtian City!
Six hundred thousand people, compared to the audience with a population of hundreds of millions, is still a bit stretched.
…
Nanzheng, Prefect's Mansion
Zhang Wei, Yan Pu, Yang Song, Yang Ang, Yang Bo, Yang Ren and other Han Chinese civil and military confidants gathered together. Zhang Lu glanced at the people in the hall with an expressionless face, and found that there was no sign of the general supporting the ban. He could not help but frown slightly.
Said: "Where is Fujin? Why didn't he come?" Fujin is a very unfamiliar name to players, but in Hanzhong, he is also a general who is good at conquering and fighting, although he is not as important as Zhang Wei and others.
But in the Hanzhong army, he also had some prestige.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Zhang Lu immediately sent someone to investigate, and soon got the news that Fu Ban had lost his family's wealth last night, and left the city with his cronies overnight, but his whereabouts were unknown.
It was said that his whereabouts were unknown, but everyone present knew that Fu Jin was probably going to surrender to Qingtian City. Qingtian City came with the power of victory, an army of 700,000, and this number alone was enough to scare a group of people.
Fu Jin was not the first person to defect. Ever since he received the news that Qingtian City's army had gathered at Jiameng Pass, in less than a month, more than a dozen generals and officials, big and small, had quietly left to defect to Qingtian City.
Zhang Lu sighed in disappointment. At the beginning, Zhang Lu felt very angry. The feeling of being betrayed by his subordinates was not that wonderful. But now, Zhang Lu was numb, and he couldn't help but feel frustrated.
Seeing Zhang Lu's decadent expression, the hall became silent, and a feeling of helplessness enveloped everyone's hearts...
"Master, the only solution now is to seek help from Liu Biao of Nanyang. It is best to form an alliance with Liu Biao. Now we are sandwiched between Qingtian City, Sun Ce and Cao Cao. We are alone and weak. If we cannot unite with each other,
I'm afraid both sides will be defeated in the end." Chang Shi Yan Xiang stood up with a heavy face, bowed to Zhang Lu and said.
"Otherwise!" Yang Song, the chief secretary, stood up after hearing the words and bowed: "Master, now the King of Wu is powerful and has millions of warriors under his command. Now he has hundreds of thousands of surrendered troops in central Sichuan.
With such power, the only princes in the world who can resist it are Yuan Shao of Hebei and Liu Biao. They may be able to relieve our army from the temporary crisis, but that will only anger the King of Wu and usher in even more crazy revenge from Qingtian City. By then, Lieutenant General Han will
Life is in ruins!"
"What do you mean, are you going to surrender!?" General Zhang Wei glared at Yang Song, turned to Zhang Lu and said: "Brother, although Hanzhong is small, it has a population of two million, and 200,000 men with armor. Jiameng
The pass area is so narrow that even if Qingtian mobilized a million-strong army, it would not be able to deploy it. The grain and grass in the warehouse can even sustain an army of 200,000 for three years. As long as the Qingtian City army is not allowed to leave Jiameng Pass, with the help of
The terrain is dangerous, and even if we use up all the men in Qingtian City, how can we hand over my great foundation to others!?"
"But the second general must not forget that the king of Wu now controls Jiangdong, and now has Xichuan added to it. The population under his rule is more than hundreds of millions. If it really consumes the money, the second general asked himself, it may cost more than the king of Wu. If it really costs the corner,
If you resist stubbornly and anger the King of Wu, then the King of Wu will raise a million troops to fight again. May I ask the second general, how should you respond to the enemy?"
Yan Pu retorted and said: "Qingtian is cruel and unkind, thirsty for blood, and tries to usurp the Han Dynasty. He is actually a rebellious official and traitor. Although there are millions of people, he is also an unjust teacher. If the teacher is unjust, he will be powerless. If the teacher is powerless, he will not be able to do anything.
You only need to send one general to garrison the dangerous place, and Hanzhong will be at ease!"
"Rebellious ministers and traitors!?" Uncle Yang, who was standing behind Yang Song, curled his lips and sneered: "So what? Liu Zhang of Xichuan, he is an authentic clan member of the Han Dynasty, why haven't you surrendered now? What a disrespectful thing to say.
, Now that the Han Dynasty has long existed in name only, what about the rebellious ministers and traitors? In the end, in this world, it depends on whose fist is bigger, not who drinks more ink in his stomach. "
"You..." Yan Pu's face turned purple and he was very angry.
"Shut up! How can you say this!?" Yang Song's expression changed and he shouted sternly. Although the Han Dynasty existed in name only, its power was still there. It was as powerful as Qingtian City. On the surface, he wanted to show his respect to the Han Dynasty.
With all due respect, if these words get out, I'm afraid my brother's death will be ugly.
Yang Song bowed to Zhang Lu and said: "Master, although the third brother is reckless, his words are not unreasonable. If you surrender to the King of Wu, you can at least save Master's family and life, and you can also save the two million people in Hanzhong."
The wealth and life of the people, but if we resist hard, even if we can repel King Wu's army this time, what will be left behind is a devastated Hanzhong. I hope you will think twice!"
Zhang Lu's expression changed slightly, but Yang Song's words hit home. As the leader of the Five Dou Rice Sect, he is responsible for saving the world and the people. For him, he is the leader of the Five Dou Rice Sect first, and then the leader of the Five Dou Rice Sect.
As the prefect of Hanzhong, he must first consider the life and death of the Five Dou Rice Sect in everything. When the survival of the Five Dou Rice Sect conflicts with the autonomy of Hanzhong, Zhang Lu is still more inclined to preserve the Five Dou Rice Sect at the expense of Hanzhong's autonomy.
In terms of the current situation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Lu's idea was really strange. However, after all, Zhang Lu was also a warlord who controlled one side. He was able to occupy Hanzhong as a foundation. He had his own merits and would not be hasty.
Make the decision to surrender.
If possible, Zhang Lu would naturally not want to be attached to Qingtian City. No one would choose the latter between being the boss himself or asking others to be his boss...
But now Qingtian City is powerful and comes with the power of victory. Zhang Lu looked at the civil and military personnel under his command and sighed softly. Let’s not talk about the army for now, but the advisers and generals under Qingtian’s tent are even more powerful than his own.
He is several levels higher. Although he is known as a rebellious official and a traitor, he is also very discerning and has the ability to recognize and employ people, which is far beyond what he, a small Hanzhong, can compare with.
Of course, if a war really breaks out, it is not completely hopeless. At least Zhang Lu occupies the advantageous location and people in Hanzhong. Although the plan proposed by Yan Pu is not a fancy one, it is very suitable for the current situation. It only needs to be
Occupying a favorable location, setting up camp at every step, and fighting for every inch of land. Although Qingtian City's army is large, there is nothing they can do.
For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Lu's mind. As he watched the audience gradually divide into two camps, the main war faction and the main surrender faction, and they were noisy, a feeling of boredom suddenly arose in Zhang Lu's heart.
He stood up slowly, and the hall became silent again. Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Lu. No matter how red-faced they argued, the final decision still rested with Zhang Lu.
Zhang Lu's eyes swept over the faces of Zhang Wei, Yang Song, Yan Pu and others, and he said slowly: "For the sake of the people of Hanzhong, and for my great cause of teaching five buckets of rice for a long time, I would like to surrender to the King of Wu.
"
"Master, you must not do this!" Yan Pu, Zhang Wei and others' expressions changed drastically and they shouted urgently.
However, Zhang Song and others looked happy and bowed to accept the order.
"My decision has been made. You don't need to say anything. Yang Song, please draft a document immediately. You will go to the King of Wu to surrender in person. Tell the King of Wu that Hanzhong, I can surrender, but the King of Wu must guarantee that I have five measures of rice.
Enough living space, otherwise, Zhang Lu would rather die together!"
"Master, don't worry. Even if Yang Song is shattered to pieces, he still wants to defend the interests of our religion." Yang Song looked solemn and bowed.
"It's all gone." Zhang Lu nodded, waved his hands a little tiredly, turned and left, his back looking extremely desolate in the dim light.
In May of 196 AD, Zhang Lu, the prefect of Hanzhong, faced the Qingtian City army pressing down on the border. The news of his surrender to Qingtian City without fighting a battle quickly spread throughout the Samsara Three Kingdoms like a plague.
Qin Tian did not make things difficult for Zhang Lu, and changed the Five Pecks of Rice religion to Taoism, allowing Zhang Lu to preach within the jurisdiction of Qingtian City. In the same month, Cao Cao successfully conquered Luoyang. Although the prosperity was gone, he shrank his troops and defended the inner city, but the war
At this level, defeat is only a matter of time.
At this point, the structure of the world of Samsara Three Kingdoms has undergone new changes, which has greatly diverged from history. The player's ability to predict things has come to an end.
