The capital of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an City, the Pearl of Guanzhong, although it has experienced military disasters in the past twenty years, it still shocked the young Sinong who arrived here for the first time since time travel.
It is already the end of September, the autumn rain is falling in Guanzhong, and the scene is desolate, which is in line with the majesty of Weiyang Palace, Jianzhang Palace and many other Chang'an palaces.
Compared with Luoyang, the capital of Guanzhong of the Han Dynasty has more imperial solemnity, and compared with Xuchang, it has accumulated more time.
Southwest of Chang'an, in front of the gate of Weiyang Palace, rows of soldiers stood as tall as nails.
At the highest point of the palace building, on the day of granting leave, there is a young Si Nong who is in charge of everything in Guanzhong and Longxi. The generals standing in front of him are all the mainstays of the Cao Wei lineage and west of Tongguan.
Three days ago, the whole army of Da Sinong and the general who conquered the west arrived here. Zhang Liao was the vanguard, Zhao Yun and Gao Shun led the central army, and together with Qu Yi and Qiao Rui Fang Guang, they arrived here all the way.
When Xia Houyuan heard that the Prime Minister intended to visit Hanzhong and Yizhou, he was very happy and hurried back from Tianshui. Today he arrived in Chang'an, where he met Sinong.
"Wonderful talent, I didn't expect that we would see each other again today after we parted ways just now. My great cause lies in the west. I was right."
"Datong, what you said is absolutely correct. To be fair to Datong, since I arrived here, I feel that it is completely different from when I was in Yanzhou. Riding on horseback in Xiliang, defending the capital of Han Dynasty, closing my eyes, I see all the heroic figures of Wei and Huo!"
In Xuchang, it was young Fang Guang who strongly recommended Xia Houyuan to lead the Western Army in front of Cao Cao.
After entering Cao's camp, Fang Guang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Boom!" With a sound, the autumn thunder in Guanzhong rang, and in an instant, heavy rain fell, and the sky and earth turned a gray color.
The young man Zhengzheng looked at the rain scene outside the palace. He remembered that before the time travel, when he went to the Forbidden Palace in the capital for the first time, there was a sudden heavy rain. The rain scene in the capital was actually very similar to the rain scene in Chang'an two thousand years ago.
Countless rainwater flowed from the dragon mouth on the steps on the edge of the square outside the Weiyang Palace into the canal outside the palace. Thousands of dragons spit water, which was extremely beautiful.
Da Sinong suddenly stopped talking, and the generals sitting there did not dare to speak. After a long time, Xia Houyuan was brave enough to speak in a deep voice.
"Datong, so the Prime Minister is really determined to conquer Hanzhong?"
"Miaocai, I originally thought that you were a general, but I didn't expect that Miaocai actually has the talents of the Three Lords."
"In Miaocai's mind, he is clearly thinking about Yizhou, but he still uses Guanzhong as a test?"
"Yes, the Prime Minister intends to visit Hanzhong. Hearing about the chancellery, he first sent a letter to Zhang Lu at Yangping Pass. How about this leader? Is he willing to surrender?"
When the young man said this, his disdain was overflowing. All the generals in Cao's army understood the meaning of great unity and couldn't help laughing together. Only Sili Colonel Zhong Yao had an angry look in his eyes, but he did not dare to say anything.
In the previous life, this son of a high-ranking family, who was known as Zhong Sili, was the prince who held the holiday and was the governor of all affairs in Guanzhong. In this world, because Fang Guang was born out of nowhere, not only did Xun Yu's power be far inferior to that recorded in the history books, but also
Zhong Yao also became the biggest victim of time travel.
Xun Yu and Chen Qun's party were already very afraid of this young Si Nong. They all immediately advised Cao Cao that it would be best to appease Zhang Lu if they could recruit him to surrender.
Even Mrs. Bian, because of this matter, kept blowing pillow wind in front of the Prime Minister.
Cao Cao had no choice but to ask the Chancellor to write a letter to persuade Zhang Lu to surrender. As for the outcome, no need to ask more, the history books have already written it clearly.
Sure enough, after Xia Houyuan laughed, he pointed in the direction of Guanzhong, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Datong, Zhang Lu, not only was unwilling to hand over Ma Chao and Han Sui's party, but even said that the Five Pecks of Rice religion does not follow the laws of the Central Plains. He will not covet Guanzhong, and he also hopes that the prime minister will not get involved in Hanzhong!"
"This is such a wonderful idea. We have the same prime minister and the same expectations, but the gap is really huge!"
"Yes, Zhang Lu thinks that in the Prime Minister's heart, only Yecheng dares to speak like this. What arrangements does he have, can Miao Cai find out clearly?"
"Datong, when I heard that the prime minister sent Datong, I knew that if Hanzhong was to be invaded, I had already sent detailed instructions to arrive at Hanzhong prefectures and counties before the envoys from Shangshutai!"
"Zhang Lu's younger brother, Zhang Wei, who held a memorial ceremony for the wine, led his own army and stationed himself in Tunmei County. He also stationed troops at Chaiguan Pass to resist our army with 50,000 ghost soldiers!"
"Ma Chao and Han Sui, who had newly joined Zhang Lu, heard about the arrival of Datong and returned from Jiameng Pass. When they heard about the remnants of Xiliang, they left Wudu via Chencang Road to defend Qinlong Mountain Road!"
"Ma Chao, the traitor, has always had great prestige among the Qiang and Di people. I found out that you have gathered tens of thousands of troops and scattered them in the mountains of Chencangdao. But I don't know what to do with the general agreement and where to march?"
"Wonderful talent, my lord's whereabouts were leaked that day. The attack on Ma Mengbu at the Yellow River has not yet been found out. The key person is Han Sui! We will definitely not let him go when we go west this time!"
"Oh? The meaning of Datong is to start from Chencang Road, go south to Guanzhong, and attack Yangping Pass?"
"No, although there are many ghost soldiers under Zhang Lu, they have only few battles. Our army is in serious trouble, not Zhang Lu, but the lack of food and fodder. If we are blocked at Yangping Pass and cannot be conquered for a long time, why go to Hanzhong?"
"
"There are many troops in our army, and the battle on the pass mountain road is unfavorable. In my opinion, the army does not need to gather in one place. Miao Cai will lead his own troops and attack Mei County from Chang'an to frighten Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei!"
"I led my own headquarters and went south from Chencang Road to Yangping Pass. By marching in two directions, the food and grass consumption will be much less!"
"No, Datong can just give orders, but don't know when to march?"
"Tomorrow I will lead the army to the north. Miaocai will head west in three days. Lieutenant Zhong, you will be in charge of the government affairs in Guanzhong. Miaocai will provide food and crops along the way, and it will fall on Captain Zhong!"
"Miaocai's headquarters only has 30,000 people. If the army is short of food, I will issue a marching order!"
The young Sinong glanced coldly at Zhong Yao, who had said nothing today, and his words had a faint sound of gold and stone, full of murderous intent.
Zhong Yao's official position is far inferior to him in this world. The word "False Festival" allows the young man to deal with the leading children of this Guanzhong family without asking Xuchang!
Zhong Yao swallowed, knowing that even if the yellow scarf captain in front of him wanted to suppress him, he had no choice but to obey.
"No, whenever there is a shortage of food in General Miaocai's army, it is left to the hands of the farmers. It is just a warehouse, and the journey is far away. General Fang's headquarters may not be able to supply food and grass!"
Zhong Yao's words to counterattack have taken full advantage. The total population of Guanzhong is now less than 300,000, and it is already difficult to support an army!
"I? There is no need for Captain Zhong to worry about my story. When I was in Jizhou that day, I was surrounded by Yuan Jun, but couldn't I come and go freely?"
"Qu Yi, Qiao Rui, you two lead the infantry and march slowly to collect grain from the Qiang and Di tribes. Tian Feng will naturally go to Bingzhou to supervise the grain here!"
"Zilong, Wenyuan, Gao Shun, Guan Hai, come with me, defeat Ma Chao first, and then enter Chencang Road!"
