On that day, Liu Feng's 50,000-strong army entered Hanzhong, and he immediately left 30,000 people to guard here, and then led another 20,000 people to return to Liangzhou (Novel Network www.

Originally, there was no need to leave 30,000 people to guard Hanzhong. Hanzhong belonged to Yizhou. Although Yizhou herder Liu Zhang had a large number of troops, he had no famous soldiers. It was said that there were many famous people in Western Shu, but not many of them were Liu Zhang's followers. Moreover, Hanzhong and Liangzhou border. If something happens in Hanzhong, Liu Feng can send troops from Liangzhou. However, considering that Liu Bei will occupy Hanzhong in the future and use Yizhou Bashu land as his foundation, Liu Feng has some caution in his heart, so he stays here. There are fully 30,000 men and horses, commanded by Taishi Ci.

However, just as the army was about to set off, news came from Gongsun Bian Ying's army that Sun Ce, the prefect of Changsha, had stationed troops in Jiangxia and Nanjun to surround Nanyang County with the intention of marching to Nanyang. Two days later, he received a secret letter from Sun Quan and wanted to join forces with Liu Feng to carve up Nanyang. county.

During these two months, Liu Feng did not make any big moves. One reason was that Nanyang County blocked Liu Feng's eastbound path. At that time, Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu were fighting fiercely, and Sun Jian was spying from the south. Once Liu Feng took action, he would inevitably It was about to become a war situation involving all four sides, and it was difficult to predict which direction the battle would take in the end. Liu Feng cherished his soldiers and would not fight an uncertain battle, so Liu Feng did not march.[

At the same time, Hanzhong County was overthrown by Yuan Shu and forcibly recruited soldiers. At the same time, a large amount of property and food were plundered. Although the people had a good harvest this year, Hanzhong after the plunder was starved for thousands of miles. This is the time to recuperate. I want to mobilize from here. Food and grass for war are simply unrealistic. With Liu Feng's army getting along, supply and demand have just been equalized in Hanzhong County. Where is the money to supply food for war consumption? Once there is a war, the food consumed is twice as much as usual. many.

If you mobilize grain and grass from Liangzhou, you will face another problem. The area bordering Hanzhong County and Liangzhou is Wudu County, which is actually Ma Teng's place. A large amount of grain and grass passes through Ma Teng. Even if Ma Teng takes the pass, if If something goes wrong, the relationship between Ma Teng and Liu Feng will inevitably become awkward. Ma Chao will also be involved. When the generals disagree, it will be even more difficult to deal with. So for many reasons, Liu Feng simply stood still and waited for Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu to come up with a result. Come.

Although Zhang Lu had Liu Zhang to help him, Zhang Xiu was known as the spear king of the North and had extraordinary military power. He also had the poisonous warrior Jia Xu to help him. He was both civil and military. How could Zhang Lu defeat him in a short period of time? Moreover, although Liu Zhang was willing Borrowing troops from Zhang Lu was just out of friendship with his former allies. Once the losses were too great, Liu Zhang would inevitably withdraw his troops. Moreover, Liu Zhang's army had already withdrawn to Yizhou. In the first month, the two armies fought at an equal level, and Nanyang County was basically The previous one was divided into two, with Wancheng as the boundary, the east side was occupied by Zhang Lu, and the west side was occupied by Zhang Xiu. However, Zhang Lu was unable to bear the loss after receiving no assistance from Liu Zhang's follow-up troops.
