Chapter 188: Seizing the Hanzhong Sound East and West
Chapter 188: Seizing Hanzhong and attacking in the east and west
Zhang Fei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard that most people in Hanzhong were related to the Five Pecks of Rice Sect. If he went by what he said, even Bai Qi, who was known as a massacrer, would have to accept defeat.
Seeing Zhang Fei's embarrassment, Yan Yan smiled and said: "Yide doesn't have to worry about it. If I hadn't been from Yizhou and knew the Five Pecks of Rice Sect very well, I might have thought like you! Killing is indeed a simple and easy way.
"
Although Zhang Fei was reckless, he was not confused. He smiled and said: "Old Yan, you don't have to cover it up for me! My elder brother always says that I am reckless, how could I not know? Forget it! Let's talk about how to deal with the Five Pecks of Rice Sect.
!”
"What else can we do?" Yan Yan sighed: "Five Dou Rice has deep roots and luxuriant leaves. For the time being, we can only dig out the roots and leave the leaves!"
"Why dig out the roots and leave the leaves?" Zhang Fei looked puzzled.
Yan Yan smiled and said: "That is to say, only the first culprit will be punished, and the rest will not be punished!"
"Uh..." Zhang Fei scratched his head and said, "I mean, can't you tell me the method directly?"
"When Zhang Lu launches an attack, we will kill Zhang Lu's leaders. As for the ordinary believers, we will bring them under our command or make them common people!" Yan Yan had a smile on his face, but Zhang Fei was very depressed.
"So, nothing can be done?"
"That's not true!" Yan Yan said with a smile: "Since the Lord said that the Five Dou Rice Sect is trying to rebel, they will definitely send people to sneak into the city. When Zhang Lu's army attacks the city, there will be riots in the city. We can attack the four gates of Hanzhong and carry out the attack.
Check to prevent spies."
Zhang Fei asked: "What are the characteristics of the members of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect?"
"No," Yan Yan said: "The Five Dou Rice Sect founded by Zhang Ling is actually very simple. You only need to hand in five Dou Rice to join the religion. That's how it got the name of the Five Dou Rice Sect!"
"Uh..." Zhang Fei said speechlessly for a while: "Brother Yan, please don't disturb my meal!"
Yan Yan burst into laughter, and as expected, stopped talking and had a banquet with Zhang Fei. Knowing that he had nothing to do for the time being, Zhang Fei relaxed and drank a little wine, but he was able to control himself and was not like the excessive drinkers in history.
Excessive. Of course, Zhang Fei drank so much in history, most of them were idle. Who told Liu Bei to either run away or live under someone else's roof?
For three days in a row, nothing went wrong in Hanzhong. Yan Yan and Zhang Fei both doubted whether Liu Zhang had made a mistake in judgment. But on the fifth day, Gan Ning arrived with Jinfan Camp. Yan Yan and Zhang Fei immediately realized that the situation was serious.
The calm in Hanzhong is just a sign before the storm is coming!
On the second day after Gan Ning arrived, an army arrived from outside Hanzhong City, led by Yang Ping. In fact, Yang Ping was considered Liu Zhang's subordinate, but because of his poor ability, Liu Zhang ordered him to lead a garrison outside the city.
Troops. But Yang Ping did not feel that he was incompetent, but felt that Liu Zhang was targeting him.
"Please come out and answer General Yan Yan!" Yang Ping took the garrison Liu Zhang gave him and showed off his power under Hanzhong City, which made the city defenders a little confused. However, the soldiers still invited Yan Yan.
"General Yang, why did you come to Hanzhong instead of leading your troops outside the city?" Yan Yan knew that since Yang Ping was here, he was probably going to rebel. But depending on the situation, Yang Ping didn't know that Zhang Fei and Gan Ning had already
Arrive in Hanzhong, otherwise he would not be so blatant and arrogant under the walls of Hanzhong.
"General Yan, I have a question. I wonder if the general can help me clear up my doubts?" Yang Ping stood under the city with a proud face. Looking at the old, weak, sick and disabled people behind him, it was really ridiculous. Yan Yan on the city still looked so proud.
I thought he was a bait soldier!
Yan Yan didn't want to dampen Yang Ping's enthusiasm, so he smiled and said: "If General Yang has any doubts, you can tell him directly. If I know, I will answer your doubts."
Yang Ping asked with a smile: "General Yan, I remember that ten years ago, you went to Luoyang to join Liu Yan as a school captain. Ten years later, you were appointed as the prefect of Hanzhong, why are you still a school captain?"
"This..." Yan Yan's old face turned red. Yang Ping's words were like sharp knives, cutting into his heart, but he had no words to refute!
When Yang Ping saw this, he was very proud and said: "General Yan, Liu Yan and his son are blind, but they don't know the general's talent. Why should the general serve him? It is better to open the city gate and submit to my lord. When the time comes, I will be granted the title of marquis and the prime minister."
, it’s also unknown!”
"You want me to surrender?" Yan Yan's eyes showed a cold light, and even if Yang Ping was under the city, he felt cold all over.
"The general's words are wrong!" Yang Ping said bravely: "As the saying goes: good birds choose trees to roost in, good ministers choose their masters to serve, my lord..."
"That's enough!" Yan Yan pointed at the dragon-scaled sword in his hand and said, "There are generals who have beheaded in Yizhou, but there are no generals who have surrendered! I don't care who your master is. If you want Hanzhong, you must step over my corpse!"
"Since the general does not accept loyal advice, don't blame me for being rude!" Yang Ping ordered: "The whole army is ready to attack the city!"
"Attack...attack the city?!" Not only Yan Yan was stunned, but even Yang Ping's soldiers were stunned. With these old, weak, sick and disabled, what's the difference between attacking Hanzhong Fortress and seeking death?
Seeing everyone's hesitation, Yang Ping said angrily: "Don't you understand my order? Supervise the battle team to prepare. Anyone who has not attacked the city before the sound of the drums will be killed without mercy!"
The troops had no choice but to carry ladders and push carts towards Hanzhong City. Yan Yan couldn't laugh or cry. Liu Zhang just felt that these old, weak, sick and disabled people had no fighting ability, so they used it to deal with Yang Ping. If Hanzhong City was attacked by them
Come down, Yan Yan should buy a piece of tofu and hit him to death.
"Report!" Yan Yan was guarding relaxedly, when suddenly a small colonel rushed to him and said: "General, the east, south and north gates are under attack very urgently. Please support me, general!"
"Strike the east and attack the west?!" Yan Yan said with a smile: "Go and tell General Gan Ning that the east and north gates have been handed over to him! And inform General Zhang Fei to be ready to attack at any time!"
"Yes!" Xiao Xiao followed the order. Soon, Gan Ning's troops arrived at the east and north gates, and Zhang Fei's Overlord Cavalry was also preparing to attack.
"General Yan!" Zhang Fei waited under the city for a long time and became a little impatient. He ran up to the top of the city and asked Yan Yan: "Brother, when can I attack?"
Yan Yan smiled and said: "Yide, don't be anxious! You see, the east, south and north gates are under siege, but the west gate is full of old, weak, sick and disabled people. This shows that Yang Ping must have a plan against the west gate. I have asked the west gate to
The defenders are pretending to be weak. I believe it won’t be long before Yang Ping takes action! Yide should go down and prepare. When my signal comes, you will lead your troops to fight out from the west gate! Remember, the pursuit must not exceed ten miles, otherwise
Ambush!"
"Understood!" Zhang Fei immediately returned to his headquarters, preparing for Yan Yan's signal.
At the west gate of Hanzhong, when the siege was in full swing, a group of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Yizhou Army quietly came to the city gate.
"Who is it?" Suddenly he felt that there were many people around him. General Ximen looked back very alertly. He saw that the people coming were all wearing uniforms of the Yizhou Army. He thought they were reinforcements sent by Yan Yan, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, among the people who came, the leader of the army, Sima, smiled at General Ximen: "Brother, we are sent by General Yan to help you!"
"Then I'll bother you, brother!" Now that there are reinforcements, the wariness of General Ximen has disappeared.
"We are all our own people, why are you so polite!" Army Sima walked to the guard general and said, "Why don't you let your brothers rest and let my people take the lead first?"
"Of course that's good! After fighting for so long, the brothers can no longer stand it!" The guard shouted: "Brothers, the reinforcement brothers are here! Give them the city gate first, and we will replace it later!"
After the guard general gave the order, the Army Sima men immediately took over the city gate. The Army Sima walked to the guard general and said: "Brother, have a good rest!"
"Thank you! Well..." The guard just wanted to say some words of thanks when Army Sima suddenly covered his mouth. He felt a pain in his back, and then his eyes went dark and he fell unconscious.
"Rest forever!" Army Sima helped the body of the west gate guard aside and winked at his subordinates. The soldiers who followed Army Sima immediately attacked. The soldiers who originally guarded the west gate never thought that reinforcements would arrive.
Attack. For a time, the defenders of the West Gate suffered all casualties, and the West Gate was also opened by the Army Sima!
"What's going on?" Yan Yan, who was directing the defense, saw the west door was wide open and quickly ordered someone to ask.
The principal replied: "General, someone raided the west gate, and the guard of the west gate was killed!"
"Is it finally here?" Yan Yan said excitedly: "Send the signal!"
Three rockets soared into the sky, and the colonel beside Zhang Fei quickly shouted: "General, the signal is coming!"
Looking up, he saw three rockets falling from mid-air. Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Young men, follow me!"
"Oh...ah...ah..." I don't know if it was because the Huns just liked to roar, but there was a strange cry, and Zhang Fei led 20,000 overlords to ride towards the west gate.
"The city gate is open! Charge!" Just as Zhang Fei rushed towards the west gate, Yang Ping also led his troops to charge towards the west gate. Originally, the old, weak, sick and disabled people thought that Yang Ping led them to death, but now the west gate is wide open.
The morale of Yang Ping's troops soared.
"Boom...boom...boom..." Yang Ping, who was riding a horse and charging towards Hanzhong City, suddenly felt the earth tremble. He looked into the distance and saw dust rising not far away, as if there was a large army marching.
"Zhang Yide from Yan is here, who dares to be presumptuous!" Zhang Fei shouted an unchanging declaration with his unique loud voice, and the entire battlefield knew that he was coming!
"Zhang Yide from Yan? Who is this? I've never heard of it!" Yang Ping muttered secretly in his heart.
It cannot be said that Yang Ping is ignorant. The main reason is that Zhang Lu and his family have no good impression of Liu Zhang, and naturally they do not know the generals under Liu Zhang. Of course, Yang Ping has heard of the names of Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others. But when it comes to Zhao Zilong and Zhang Yide, he
Some people are confused. After all, only close friends or people with good relationships will call each other by their first names. Zhang and Lu's family have always addressed Liu Zhang and his family by their first names to show their disdain.
Since Yang Ping had never heard of Zhang Yide from Yan, he didn't take Zhang Fei to heart. What's more, he had to open the other three gates. So, Yang Ping led his troops to kill Zhang Fei. When Zhang Fei saw the enemy
When the general came, he was in a good mood, shouted loudly again, and rushed over.
