I am the Crown Prince of the Three Kingdoms

"That's right. The flood season has arrived. The general should have given up on dredging the Yellow River and stationed the army in Luoyang City, waiting for our actions. Now is the time for the general to dispatch, and success or failure depends on it." Yi Ji ruthlessly He nodded fiercely and said.

"Then here in Daying, I will trouble you, sir." Zhang Heng also knew that the arrow was on the string and had to fire, and he took a deep breath, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and said.

"Don't worry, general." Yi Ji nodded solemnly and raised his fist.

"Ba'er, you must listen to your master in everything, and don't act recklessly." Zhang Heng turned around and told Zhang Ba, and said.

"Father, don't worry." Zhang Ba was very obedient even though he was a rough martial artist, and immediately agreed when he heard the words.

"En." Zhang Heng responded, then got up and walked out of the big tent proudly.

After walking out of the big tent, Zhang Heng immediately gathered three hundred soldiers, escorted pigs, cattle and sheep, and wine, and disappeared into the storm.

These live pigs, cattle and sheep, and drinks were all sent by Sima Yi to appease and reward Zhang Heng.Because Yiji knew it would be useful, he stayed and didn't kill a single one, nor did he drink a jar of wine.And now these things come in handy.

Volume 206 Chapter 1653: Chapter 833 The Great War Begins (2)

In the big tent of the Chinese army, when Zhang Heng led his troops to leave, Yi Ji and Zhang Ba stood at the entrance of the tent, watching Zhang Heng leave in a strange way.

"Sir, do you think father will succeed?" Seeing Zhang Heng disappear into the rainstorm, Zhang Ba suddenly felt uneasy. He is the eldest son of Zhang Heng, and also a fierce martial artist with great nerves, but he never Leaving Zhang Heng, let alone leading the army alone.So Zhang Ba asked.

"Yes, I will. Because this world belongs to the Han Dynasty, the rest of the people are all traitors and thieves, and your Zhang family can abandon the bandits and assist the Han Dynasty. It will survive forever." Yi Ji said solemnly upon hearing the words.

"En." Yi Ji's words made most of Zhang Ba's uneasiness go away, and he regained his composure.

Chang'an is hundreds of miles away from Tongguan, and even a fast horse would take a lot of time to go back and forth between the two places.Moreover, during the journey, the speed of the horse may drop due to various reasons.

Therefore, news exchanges will sometimes be delayed.Zhong Yao thought of a way and prepared three post stations between Chang'an and Tongguan.In the post station, there are high-quality war horses, which are provided for spies, messengers, etc. who deliver news at any time.In this way, the physical strength of the war horse will always be abundant, and the running speed will be fast enough.

Therefore, these three post stations are the places where the knights must pass by when Chang'an or Tongguan pass news to each other.In other words, it is the best place to intercept news.

Yi Ji's strategy is very simple, that is, according to Zhang Heng's current status, he will act as an insider.Zhang Heng led many cattle and sheep, live pigs, and wine to hold the heavy rain, and went to Tongguan when the news was inconvenient.Along the way, the officials in the three post stations were beheaded to cut off the news contact between the two parties.

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 could not be easily exposed.And during this time, Zhang Heng lurks down.

Waiting for Liu Feng's cooperation, the inside should cooperate with the outside, open Tongguan, and defeat Cao Hong.This is Yi Ji, the plan formulated by Liu Feng.

The rainstorm came and went quickly.At this moment, the weather has returned to clear, and there are many puddles left on the ground, from which we can peek at the harshness of the heavy rain just now.

Not far away, there is a small city. The city towers near the main road. It is one foot high, and its width and length are only more than a hundred feet. It can be said to be petite and exquisite.

This is the first post station to the east of Chang'an set up by Zhong Yao.At this moment, blood was everywhere inside and outside the post station, and corpses were lying there.

Zhang Heng stood in the station, holding a blood-stained long sword in his hand, looking at the corpse in front of him, with blood stains, smelling a strong bloody smell.With a sigh of relief, at last none of them escaped, and they were all killed.

At this moment, apart from Zhang Heng, there are many other soldiers of Zhang Heng nearby.

"Leave 20 people responsible for cleaning up the corpses, bloodstains, and guarding. If you encounter Chang'an, or a messenger from Tongguan, the messengers and the like will be killed immediately." Zhang Heng ordered.

"No." A soldier promised.

Soon after, Zhang Heng led the remaining soldiers, as well as a large number of pigs, cattle, sheep, and wine, to continue towards Tongguan.Continuing to capture two post stations along the way, and dispatching soldiers to guard them, cutting off the connection between Tongguan and Chang'an, Zhang Heng finally led his troops to Tongguan.

Chapter 834 Zhang Heng enters the customs

Tongguan is still so majestic.At this moment, the weather is sunny, the ground is muddy, and there are no caravans passing by. The soldiers on Tongguan are a little lazy.

The attitudes of the soldiers in the east and west are completely different.

Because the east wall faces Luoyang, facing Liu Feng, while the west wall faces Chang'an, which is equal to its own territory.Naturally, the soldiers at the east gate should be more rigorous and vigilant.The soldiers who closed the west gate should be a little more relaxed.

"Recently, in this weather, heavy rains have become more frequent."

"Yes, very often. Our gate guards are going to be ruined. Fortunately, there is no action in Luoyang now, otherwise the general will send more people to the city, and we will be choking when it rains heavily."

On the west pass, there are soldiers patrolling and talking leisurely at the same time.This leisurely attitude is indeed related to the fact that the west wall is facing Chang'an, but it is more due to Cao Hong's laxity.

Liu Feng stationed in Luoyang, devoted himself to development, and did not even train soldiers.As a result, Cao Hong gradually slackened his efforts, so that he followed suit, and the atmosphere of the entire pass was like this.

"Da da da."

At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes accompanied by the sound of rolling wheels, approaching from far away.The patrolling soldiers were taken aback, and someone laughed and said, "What kind of weather is this, there are still caravans passing by?"

"Alas, if they themselves are going to get caught in the rain, it will be a pain for us." A soldier said with a sigh.

"Stop complaining, hurry up and open the city gate." An officer scolded.But it was raining heavily, and the soldiers didn't even close the door.

"Hey, this doesn't seem to be a caravan?" At this moment, a soldier let out a cry of surprise.

"Huh?" The officer was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked westward.I saw that the people who came were really not like caravans. These merchants sold goods, bought cheap and sold high, and traveled from north to south.They sell everything, even war horses.But the problem is that livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep are available all over the world.It is even more troublesome if you can’t sell it for a good price, and you have to take care of it and guard it.

However, the oncoming team was full of shouts of pigs, cattle and sheep, and the scale was huge. Isn't this weird?What's even weirder is that these people seem to be soldiers in the army, each holding a spear and wearing leather armor.Many generals and school-like figures walked on horseback.

"Who is it?" The officer's expression changed slightly, and he asked.

Immediately, the atmosphere on Tongguan changed, and the soldiers swept away their laziness and looked at this team energetically.

This team is naturally Zhang Heng and his party who came from afar and have malicious intentions.Seeing that Zhang Heng was not in a hurry, he rode his horse forward, raised his fist and said: "This old man is Zhang Heng. I was ordered by Lord Zhong to bring pigs, cattle, sheep and other livestock, and drink to reward Tongguan sergeants."

"Do you have documents?"

So it was Zhang Heng?This made the officers in the city feel relieved. A few days ago, because of Cheng Yin's attack on Zhang Heng, there was an uproar in Guanzhong, and Zhang Heng's name was like thunder.However, the officer dared to relax completely and asked.

"It was raining heavily, and I accidentally wet the document." Zhang Heng heard that he was prepared, and took out a roll of cloth from his arms. It was already soaked by water, and the handwriting was blurred, as was the seal on it.

"This?" The officer frowned upon hearing this.

"Please also ask this sergeant to report to General Cao Hong. After all, there are [-] soldiers and horses in Tongguan. There must be someone who recognizes this old man." Seeing this, Zhang Heng said with a helpless smile.

"Okay." The officer hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, but finally applauded.

"Wait a moment, general." Immediately afterwards, the officer clasped his fists at Zhang Heng, turned and left.

"Thank you Sergeant." Zhang Heng said gratefully.

Zhang Heng's heart was full of joy, Mr. really had predicted things like a god, so there was no need for any paperwork.There is no small matter in the army, even if it is to reward the sergeant, there are documents to and from.Once Zhang Heng was troubled by this matter, Yi Ji gave this method.

Walking in the rain not only hides whereabouts, but also has this effect.

Just when Zhang Heng was rejoicing, the officer rode his horse to the outside of the general's mansion, and informed Cao Hong's soldiers guarding the gate, who naturally went to report the news.

In the study of the General's Mansion, Cao Hong is drinking and eating.Guarding the pass is already bleak.If it is sunny, the team can be pulled out for training, but it is a pity that it is sunny after the rain, and the muddy ground is not suitable for training.

Cao Hong had nothing to do but drink.
