Chapter 451: Encounter on a narrow road
Zhang's confidence was not groundless. He was based in Hanzhong and could rely on the strength of a county to organize an army of 50,000 people and suppress the more powerful Liu Zhang./www
There is definitely merit.
The saving grace is the special nature of Zhang Lu’s army.[
Zhang Lu governed Hanzhong with the Five Pecks of Rice religion, which unified politics and religion. Zhang Lu not only controlled secular power, but also controlled divine power.
He has the loyalty of a soldier both physically and religiously.
Therefore, Zhang Lu's army suppressed Liu Zhang and fought. Liu Zhang was actually not weak. His army might be higher than the Jingchu army during Liu Biao's period. After all, when Liu Biao ruled Jingzhou, Jingzhou was very peaceful and the army had not practiced for a long time.
But Liu Zhang in Yizhou faced the aggressiveness of Zhang Lu in the north and the harassment of barbarians in the south. The entire force was fighting, and the combat effectiveness of the army would not be too weak.
The combat effectiveness of Liu Zhang's army was even higher than that of Liu Biao, and Zhang Lu suppressed Liu Zhang. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of Zhang Lu's army was quite strong.
After Zhang Wei was ordered to mobilize the army in Yanpu, he quickly completed it and led his troops out of the city.
With the character "Zhang" under the flag, Zhang Wei and Yan Pu rode forward together.
With his good looks and tall figure, coupled with his armor and war horse, Zhang Wei looks great. Yan Pu is dressed in a green shirt and has a graceful demeanor, which is also good.
Their 40,000-strong army marched neatly, their eyes were firm, and their morale was very good.
Led by Zhang Wei in Yanpu, these 40,000 troops headed straight to the east, intending to cause trouble for Liu Feng.
After the army left the city, they walked along the road.
Yi Ji stood beside the road, watching the army in a very low-key manner with a few followers.
"Sir, is this Zhang Lu's army? It's very impressive." Yi Ji's entourage saw Zhang Lu's army slowly passing by, and said with a look of shock on his face.
Not only was the momentum impressive, but they also had an absolute upper hand in numbers, with a total of 40,000 people.
"It's really impressive. It can be regarded as a strong bull. But no matter how strong the bull is, it still eats grass. But our General Lu eats meat."
Yi Ji heard this and said with a sneer. Of course, Yi Ji only said this to his followers. In his heart, Liu Feng was an absolute lion and someone not to be trifled with.
Zhang Lu was wrong, not now, but at the beginning. When Zhang Lu decided to join forces with the other three feudal princes to deal with Liu Feng, Zhang Lu was wrong.
Too self-righteous.
Therefore, in Yiji's view, Zhang Lu is bound to lose.[
Yi Ji's words were so categorical that the followers began to doubt his belief. On the one hand, Zhang Lu seemed to have the absolute upper hand, but on the other hand, they felt that Yi Ji's words seemed to be correct.
Yi Ji didn't care much about what his followers thought. As long as he believed in it, it was enough.
………………
Zhang Lu believed that Lu Su's power was a clown. It was just a short-lived power that would perish in troubled times. That was a big mistake.
But Zhang Lu was right to think that if he was unprepared, Wenpin and Wang Wei would advance all the way and even eat half of the cities and passes in Hanzhong.
The 12,000 elite soldiers, commanded by Liu Feng himself and led by Wenpin and Wang Wei, captured five cities and one pass in Hanzhong almost effortlessly.
