Chapter 1653 : Chapter 833 The Great War Begins (2)
In the Chinese army's large tent, when Zhang Heng led his troops to leave, Yi Ji and Zhang Ba stood at the entrance of the tent, watching Zhang Heng leave with apathy. Shubao.com shubaowang
"Sir, do you think my father will succeed?" Seeing Zhang Heng disappear in the rainstorm, Zhang Ba suddenly felt uneasy. He is Zhang Heng's eldest son, a fierce martial artist, and very nervous, but he has never been
He had never left Zhang Heng, let alone led an army alone. So, Zhang Ba asked.
"Yes, I will definitely do it. Because this world belongs to the Han Dynasty, and the rest of the people are all rebellious officials and traitors. If you, the Zhang family, can abandon the bandits and assist the Han Dynasty, you will definitely be listed as a hero, be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, and be with the country.
It will survive forever." Yi Ji said solemnly after hearing this.
"Yeah." Yi Ji's words made most of Zhang Ba's anxiety disappear and he regained his composure.
Chang'an and Tongguan are hundreds of miles apart. Even a fast horse will spend a lot of time traveling between the two places. Moreover, during the journey, the horse's speed may slow down due to various reasons.[
Therefore, the exchange of news would sometimes be delayed. Zhong Yao thought of a way and prepared three post stations between Chang'an and Tongguan. In the post stations, there were high-quality war horses to provide spies and messengers who delivered the news at any time.
Wait and ride. In this way, the war horse's physical strength will always be sufficient, and the running speed will be fast enough.
Therefore, these three inns are places where knights will definitely pass by when sending messages to each other in Chang'an or Tongguan. In other words, they are the best places to intercept messages.
Yiji's strategy was very simple, which was to act like a traitor based on Zhang Heng's current identity. Zhang Heng led many cattle, sheep, pigs, and wine, and headed for Tongguan when it rained heavily and the news was inconvenient.
Along the way, the officials in these three stations were killed to cut off the communication between the two sides.
Finally, Zhang Heng entered Tongguan in the name of rewarding Cao Hong's army. Because the post station was captured by Zhang Heng, the connection between Tongguan and Chang'an was interrupted, and Zhang Heng's identity was not easy to be exposed. During this period, Zhang Heng
Hide down horizontally.
Waiting for Liu Feng's cooperation, cooperating inside and outside, opening Tongguan and defeating Cao Hong. This is the plan formulated by Yi Ji and Liu Feng.
The heavy rain fell suddenly, and it came and went quickly. At this moment, the weather had returned to clear weather, and there were many puddles on the ground, from which we could see the intensity of the heavy rain just now.
Not far away, there is a small city. The city stands near the main road. It is one foot high and only a hundred feet wide and long. It can be said to be petite and exquisite.
This is the first post station east of Chang'an set up by Zhong Yao. At this moment, blood is everywhere inside and outside the inn station, and corpses are lying everywhere.
Zhang Heng stood in the post station, holding a blood-stained sword in his hand, looking at the corpses, blood stains, and smelling the strong smell of blood in front of him. He breathed a sigh of relief, and finally no one escaped, and they were all killed.
At this moment, in addition to Zhang Heng, there are many Zhang Heng's soldiers nearby.
"Leave twenty people to clean up the corpses, blood stains, and guard. If we encounter messengers from Chang'an or Tongguan, the messengers and the like will kill them immediately," Zhang Heng ordered.
"Promise." A soldier promised.
Soon after, Zhang Heng led the remaining soldiers, as well as a large number of pigs, cattle, sheep, and wine, and continued toward Tongguan. He continued to capture two inns along the way, and sent soldiers to guard them, cutting off the connection between Tongguan and Chang'an.
Later, Zhang Heng finally led his troops to Tongguan.
