The Three Kingdoms

Zhang Yun said in a deep voice: "General Cao Ren is alive or dead and we don't know how to save him, but if we can defeat Zhao Zilong, if we can keep Zhao Zilong in Hanzhong, we won't blame us compared to Your Majesty!"

Wei Duan gritted his teeth, sat down, and stopped protesting, if Cao Ren could exchange for Zhao Zilong, it would be a great achievement.

"Zhong Han!" Zhang Yun's eyes relaxed slightly, revealing a strong sense of fighting, and the mission will be released at the beginning.

"The end is here!"

A lieutenant stood up.

"I order you, you lead three thousand troops, and within three days, take down the cold wind mouth seventy miles southeast of Shangyong!"

"Yes!"

"Fan Dong!"

Zhang He continued to order generals.

"The end is here!"

"You lead [-] troops, and in the same three days, take down Chonggu Town here, and then build defensive fortifications to stare down this place!"

"Yes!"

Xiliang General Fan Dong nodded and waited for his orders.

Zhang He glanced over the generals, and said decisively: "Hanfengkou and Chonggu Town are newly built official roads between Shangyong and Jingzhou. Our first step is to completely break the connection between Shangyong and Jingzhou. mistaken!"

"promise!"

The generals nodded their heads.

"Also, immediately send a message to Zhang Lu in Nanzheng, tell him that I will force Zhao Yun into Hanzhong, and he can send troops!" Zhang He added: "Also, send an order to Zhang Xiu to crush Lu Bu to death. , I don't want to see reinforcements from Jingzhou!"

"promise!"

Several messengers led the way.

Zhang He raised his head slightly, looked far away, and looked at Shangyong City in the distance, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth: "Zhao Zilong, I will cut your back first, and see if you have the courage to die and live!" to be continued.If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.

[Chapter 855 of the main text, the new Minister of War]

In May, Jiangdong has already entered the dog days. Today’s summer is extremely ferocious. Now it’s only [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] a.m., and a round of red fireballs emits intense light, like a raging fire shining on Jinling City.

Military Aircraft Pavilion.

In the main hall of the parliament, a group of military ministers gathered here, and Sun Quan, the great emperor of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, also sat cross-legged in the first place. His amber eyes swept across his faces and remained silent.

At this moment, the faces of the ministers of military aircraft were a little dignified, making the atmosphere in the hall very quiet.

After a while, Pan Feng, the leader of the military aircraft, spoke first: "Everyone, the news of the battle of Shangyong has just come back. The General Hussars won a battle. He not only took down Shangyong City, the gateway city of Hanzhong, but also beheaded Kill Hanzhong general Yang Bo, and capture Cao Wei general Cao Ren!"

Everyone was taken aback by what came back from this battle.

Not just this result.

The process also made the ministers feel a sense of danger.

Zhao Zilong's move was obviously a dangerous move. The key to this battle was to open the city gate by fraud. If he could not open the city gate by fraud, then he would face the combination of Zhang He and the defenders inside and outside the city, and the entire army might be wiped out.

But he succeeded, and this battle will be recorded in the textbooks of the martial arts hall. This is also an exciting victory for Da Wu today.

"In this battle, General Hussars has already won nearly [-] soldiers from the Wei Army and the Hanzhong Army with only a few thousand casualties. This battle is definitely a big victory!"

Ju Yi said in a deep voice: "The most important thing is that he captured Cao Ren, Cao Wei's famous general. This man is the Emperor Wei's loyal confidant, so it is of great significance!"

The biggest achievement of this battle was not to win Shangyong, but to capture Cao Ren.

"Hehe, Cao Wei's complexion is not so good this time!"

"It's not unsightly, but it's directly swollen."

"That's Cao Ren, Cao Wei's great general conquering the south, the confidant of Wei Emperor Cao Cao, who accompanied him in many years of campaigns in the north and south, and made great achievements in battle. Ordinary people can't compare with him!"

Being able to capture such an important person was definitely a great joy for the great Wu Dynasty who had just enshrined in Zen, and all the generals couldn't help laughing.

"Everyone, what we should talk about now is how to fight next!"

Xu Shu raised his head slightly, and looked at Sun Quan's still gloomy face.Suddenly coughed, and then reminded: "Zhang Yun has now pinched the road between Shangyong and Jingzhou. He clearly wants to trap General Zhao to death in Hanzhong!"

"General Zhao has two choices now. Either he will fight to the death and survive, and directly invade Nanzheng, or he will immediately retreat to Shangyong!"

This is why their atmosphere is not right today.

It was also the reason why Sun Quan kept his face sullen.

It has to be said that Zhang Yun's reaction was too fast. Zhao Yun had just taken Hanzhong, and he sent troops directly, breaking the newly established official path.Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Zhao Zilong were quickly trapped in Hanzhong.

The food and grass of Zhao Yun's tens of thousands of troops, a Shangyong city can't support it, this is definitely a big problem, without food roads, Zhao Yun can't last long.

The most important thing is that now that Jingzhou's troops have penetrated, most of the troops have already been invested in the preparations for the First Battle of Peicheng.Even Lu Bu was suppressed in Xinye, and he had no troops to break through the grain roads.

So now we have entered a dilemma, should we give up Hanzhong and retreat, or bite the bullet and fight on?

Everyone fell silent immediately, each of them was constantly competing in their hearts, thinking about how to make a choice.

Pan Feng glanced across the crowd.After pondering for a while, he took the lead in expressing his opinion, and said, "I agree with General Zhao's retreat. Now that we have Cao Ren in our hands, this battle has already been won, and there is no need to continue the fight!"

"No!"

Taiwei Ju Yi shook his head.Said: "Hanzhong has never been taken, this battle cannot end, you must know that Hanzhong is very important to us in the future!"

"But now we can't go on fighting at all!" Someone retorted Ju Yi's words: "Our original plan was to fight in step by step, keep the food roads open, pull out cities one by one, and then break into Nanzheng, but there is no food now. Dao, our soldiers and horses will soon be unable to hold on, retreating is helpless, but it is also inevitable!"

"Now is a great opportunity. If we just give up like this, won't Hanzhong still have a fight in the future?"

The main combat faction said coldly: "We have just won a big victory now, and the morale of the soldiers is high. It would be a pity to retreat!"

"I agree to retreat!"

"I think it will go down!"

"..."

In the main hall, the military ministers of the two sides began to argue endlessly. Whether to retreat or continue fighting, there are people who support it.

"Your Majesty, what's your opinion?"

After a while, everyone finally noticed that Sun Quan's face in the silence was getting colder and colder, they stopped arguing immediately, and looked at Sun Quan with both eyes.
