The two completed their tasks and saved Xiangyang, Yang Wei's enemy country.I am full of expectations for the battle of Hanzhong.
On the other hand, after Zhou Yu led his troops back, seeing Huang Zhong directly entered the city, he had no intention of fighting him.He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had avoided a situation where both sides would suffer.
"Set up camp on the banks of the Xiangjiang River, contact Liu Pan, and ask him to lead his troops northward and deter Xiangyang with us, lest Huang Zhong mobilize his army northward to help Lu Su capture Hanzhong."
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yu ordered.
Huang Zhong has already returned to Xiangyang, returning triumphantly, with high morale.Instead, they failed over and over again.Liu Pan's army is unreliable, and the attack on the city will definitely cause heavy casualties, and Xiangyang will not be able to break through [-]%.
The next thing to do is to delay Zhu Xiangyang's defenders so that Huang Zhong cannot join the team attacking Hanzhong.
"Promise." A messenger promised, and immediately sent the order.
"Zhang Lu's side should be strong enough. Looking at Cao Ren, Bofu's offensive should also be very strong. Most of them will be able to attack Xinye. The chances of winning for the four princes are still very high."
After giving the order, Zhou Yu put away the decadence of failure and cheered up.
In this era, news is blocked.The four-party war happened almost at the same time, but Zhou Yu didn't know what happened to Cao Ren and Sun Ce at the moment.
I still think that the princes of the Quartet have a good chance of winning.

4Chapter 17 Death is imminent without knowing it
Zhang Zhao wants to destroy Lu Su with his alliance, but Liu Feng wants to smash the Quartet with his combination.In this battle, the main attack is Hanzhong. On the one hand, Hanzhong has a sufficient population and is very close to the four counties of Xinye. According to the expansion theory of annexing the weak first, and strengthening itself.
Attacking Hanzhong is the best policy.
In addition, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zong wanted to make the four counties of Xinye free of salt and destroy the four counties of Xinye without a fight.The main attack on Hanzhong can open up Yizhou and obtain the well salt produced in Yizhou to solve the problem of table salt.
Therefore, Liu Feng personally led Wenpin and Wang Wei, two generals, with [-] elite soldiers, and attacked Hanzhong westward.Three days later, we arrived at Shangyong County.
Shangyong County is said to be a county, but there are only nine counties under its jurisdiction, and the population is only more than [-].
When Liu Feng arrived with his troops, Shi Tao, the prefect of Shangyong, and Pang Tong, the prince's guard, went out of the city with civil and military personnel to meet them.
Liu Feng rode his horse and stood, with the general Wenpin on the left, the good general Wang Wei on the right, and [-] elite soldiers behind him, slowly marching towards the city gate.
"See you son."
In front of the city gate, Shi Tao and Pang Tong stood side by side, leading civil and martial arts to salute Liu Feng in front.
While saluting, many civil and military men raised their heads and looked at Liu Feng secretly. Now Liu Feng is not considered to be behind the scenes. As Lu Su's nephew, he jumped to the foreground. Luo is alive.
Many civil and military people in Shangyong City have heard of Liu Feng's reputation, but unfortunately have not seen it. This time, of course, they must meet this hero who is comparable to Gan Luo.
He didn't blame these eyes that secretly looked at him.
"Everyone is welcome," Liu Feng, Wen Pin, and Wang Wei got off their horses together and raised their hands.
"Thank you sir."
Pang Tong and Shi Tao led the crowd to pay their respects.
It is a courtesy to lead the crowd to meet Liu Feng, but Pang Tong and Shi Tao did not forget that the war is more important at present.After spending a little time to meet the ceremony, the two greeted Liu Feng, Wen Pin, Wang Wei and others into the city, and went straight to the prefect's mansion.
In the hall of the prefect's mansion, Shi Tao welcomed Liu Feng to his seat, and the rest of the civil and military personnel sat down on both sides.
"What's the situation in Hanzhong now?" Liu Feng asked as soon as he sat down.The importance of Hanzhong is tantamount to the lifeline, no wonder Liu Feng is so urgent.
"His Royal Highness, because Mr. Yi Ji was dispatched to subdue him in advance, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong gradually became arrogant, and his defense was mediocre. If he marched westward, he could take most of Hanzhong."
Shi Tao replied immediately.
That quick response meant that Shi Tao had done a good job on Shangyong's side, and he didn't slack off.Liu Feng nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Lu in Hanzhong didn't have much defense, otherwise it would be bad if he was heavily guarded.Zhang Lu's army, which combines politics and religion, is more difficult to deal with.
"It's really God helping me." Liu Feng said with a smile.
"Hehehe."
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
"By the way, how is Shi Yuan's army gathering?" After laughing, Liu Feng turned his head and asked Pang Tong.
When Pang Tong defected to him, Liu Feng asked Pang Tong whether he should be a civil servant or a martial artist. Pang Tong chose martial arts, and Liu Feng sent him to Shangyong to recruit troops.
Volume 113, Section 903: 4Chapter 17 Death is imminent without knowing it (2)
"Ashamed, there is no one in the battalion at present." Pang Tong blushed when he heard this, and said.
In fact, Pang Tong is not to blame. Not long after he came to Shangyong, Liu Feng started to fight, and he had not had time to conscript.Liu Feng also knew this, so of course he wouldn't blame Pang Tong.
"It's just right, Shi Yuan can go out with the army and join the army temporarily." Liu Feng nodded and said after hearing this.
"promise."
Pang Tong raised his fist to promise.
After asking Pang Tong, Liu Feng asked Shi Tao about the situation in Shangyong County, and Shi Tao answered truthfully.Liu Feng was even more satisfied with Shi Tao's work, and ordered to reward some gold and silver.
After asking Shi Tao many questions, the smile on Liu Feng's face faded, and he said coldly: "Today, I will rest in the city for a day, and tomorrow I will attack Hanzhong. With the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, we can quickly destroy Zhang Lu. It's better to be called Zhang Lu." I regret that I shouldn't have conspired with Sun Ce and others to send troops to fight alone."
"No." Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and promised.
……
Nanzheng City, in the hall of the Prefect's Mansion.
Zhang Lu, the prefect of Hanzhong, and Yan Pu under Huitong's tent, and Zhang Wei discussed in the study.
"Brother, Na Yiji said that he sent someone to discuss with Lu Su about ceding Shangyong to us, but it has been many days, but there is still no news, and he is too defiant." Zhang Wei said angrily. .
On that day, Yiji was sent to Nanzheng as an envoy, and his attitude was very humble. He even wanted to cede Shangyong to Zhang Lu, and very readily sent someone to Xinye to speak to Lu Su.
This made Zhang Lu feel that Xin Ye Lu Su had no intention of being an enemy of him.
However, with the passage of time, Yiji's promise has not been fulfilled.That's how today's agenda came about.
"Be safe and don't be impatient." Zhang Lu didn't feel so angry, he raised his hand and said to Zhang Wei.Immediately, Zhang Lucai said slowly: "After all, Lu Su is still a small vassal, with only four counties under his command. After all, Lu Su started in Baiding, and it was extremely difficult to start a business. I feel sorry for a county, so I can't go down for a long time. It is justifiable to decide to cede Shangyong County to me."
Zhang Lu is more open.
"Huh, under the current situation, there are three powerful princes who are hostile to him. Instead of offering Shangyong County to us early and begging for mercy, he hesitated. This is pure contempt for us." Zhang Wei snorted coldly, I don't agree with what Zhang Lu said.
Although Zhang Lu is the monarch, but Zhang Wei's younger brother, Zhang Wei contradicted him a few words, Zhang Lu was not displeased at all, but felt that Zhang Wei's character was a little irritable.
