The Three Kingdoms

Zhang Ren said in a deep voice: "Junyi, you go north in person. There are some Wei troops in Chencang City. You can talk to them on my behalf and see if they are willing to accept Zhang Ren's surrender. You can be tougher. If they are willing to accept it, just tell them that I am willing to assist them, pretend to surrender to Ma Dai, and then unite inside and outside to ambush the Liang army in Biancheng, and take Xiliang Wudu as a gift for me to surrender to Cao Wei!"

"Will Ma Dai believe us?" Wu Lan asked with some doubts: "Even if we surrender to Ma Dai, Ma Dai will guard against us in a short time, and he may not let our soldiers enter the debate!"

"There is one person who will convince him that I truly surrender!"

Zhang Ren smiled slightly, a bright light flashed across his eyes, and said.

"Who?"

"Zhao Yun!"

Zhang Ren raised his head and looked at the wind and snow in front of him, with a strong fighting intent in his eyes: "He is here, he should want to keep me, and I also want to weigh the ability of this little brother. Unavoidable s;!"

……

Mian River upstream.

Zhao Yun came out from Mianyang with [-] elite troops, and rushed on the road in the wind and snow. Their goal was clear, and they traveled fifty miles to a camp in Mian.

"Report!" A scout cavalry returned from the front, turned on his horse, and reported: "General, Zhang Ren's troops have not made any movement, and they are still camping in Xiaohuanggang, but they have built fortifications and are very defensive!"

"Is he waiting for me?"

Zhao Yun tightened the reins, and his eyes became cold: "Eldest senior brother, it seems that I will not come back with you. If this is the case, I can only keep you!"

From the bottom of his heart, he wanted to bring this senior brother back so that he wouldn't become an enemy, but Zhang Ren's attitude told him that he had to fight to the death or let go.

From the perspective of his Great Wu Hussar General, he couldn't let this warrior leave with hatred, he could only leave him, even if it was a corpse.

After the snow, the sun shines in the morning, reflecting the sky of Chengdu City, with a hint of warmth.

However, in the main hall of the West Shu Palace, the atmosphere was as cold as ice.

boom!

At this moment, Sun Quan's delicate face was full of anger, he stood up abruptly from his position, and kicked the desk in front of him to pieces.

"Cao Mengde, if you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end!"

His hysterical voice kept echoing throughout the hall, while the few people standing in front of him stood in awe, silent and did not dare to speak out.

Early in the morning, several news came, like a basin of cold water, directly extinguished their excitement of seizing the land of Bashu.

Taiyuan is lost!

Youzhou is fighting!

Just these two messages.It is enough to make Sun Quan furious. Taiyuan County is the foundation of Bingzhou, Youzhou.It is the foundation of northern Xinjiang, and Taiyuan is lost.Bingzhou is in danger, and if Youzhou fights, northern Xinjiang will be in chaos.

At this juncture when Xishu was just taken, the Tathagata suddenly ignited a war in northern Xinjiang. For Wu Jun, it was beyond his reach. The main force was in the land of Xishu, and it was not so fast to go north for support.

Besides, if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred.Taking Xishu, the casualties of the Wu army were not small. Whether it was the Battle of Jianjiaguan, the Battle of Baidi City, or the Battle of Berkshire City, they all paid a certain amount of casualties.

In addition, Hanzhong is still fighting, and the south of the southwest is still fighting, and the war is not over.

After a while, Sun Quan, who had vented his anger, calmed down and raised his head.He looked at Li Nie who was closest to him: "Governor Li, come and tell me, can Bingzhou be kept?"

"Your Majesty, General Huang Zhong is taking the initiative to retreat, relying on Yanmen County, and the northern part of Bingzhou should be able to block the Wei army's offensive!" Li Nie clasped his hands.

"What about Youzhou?" Sun Quan asked again.

"Your Majesty, in Youzhou, the Wei army is mostly just feigning an attack. I speculate that within half a month, they will retreat." Li Nie said.

"Feint attack?" Sun Quan frowned and asked, "Why?"

"They won't be able to capture Youzhou at all. This should be just a method of the Wei army. Their purpose is to force General Huang Zhong to withdraw from Taiyuan. They succeeded in this. After all, compared with Youzhou, Bingzhou is a bit insignificant!"

Li Nie explained.

"But now the tens of thousands of Wei troops in the Ministry of Prohibition have entered Zhuojun, will he retreat?" Sun Quan asked suspiciously: "It doesn't matter whether it was a feigned attack before or if he really wanted to fight, once he takes Zhuojun, he will still vomit. come out?"

"indeed!"

Li Nie nodded: "Of course they won't spit out the things they swallow, but we are not short of troops in Jizhou. It's time for the Black Mountain Army to mobilize. Once the Black Mountain Army mobilizes, we can encircle Wei and save Zhao!"

Wu Jun still has a guerrilla force in Jizhou. Under the leadership of Zhang Hong, the Black Mountain Army has grown in power these days, and there is a tendency to stir up fire. At least in Jizhou, it cannot be ignored.

"The Black Mountain Army is now nailed to death in the Black Mountain area by Le Jin. I can't count on them anymore. You think, how should I face Cao Wei's provocation!"

Sun Quan took a deep breath and glanced over the generals.

"Fight!" Lu Bu said in one word, extremely strong.

"Your Majesty, since they dare to provoke us, we will fight back forcefully. I am willing to lead the troops northward!" Sun Ce's fighting spirit also surged.

"Your Majesty, I believe that in the current situation, we still have to bear with it. Western Shu is still undecided. The two large-scale bloody battles this year have exhausted the entire treasury. With the national strength of our great Wu, at this moment, we still need to bear with it." You can't expand the scope of the war!" Lu Su cupped his hands and said.

"Your Majesty, we have just taken the land of Bashu. Our soldiers are exhausted and need a certain period of rest. It is indeed not suitable for a full-scale war, but we can't let Cao Wei provoke them!"

Xu Shu thought for a while, and suggested: "What should be fought is still to be fought. My minister suggested that the war should be suppressed in northern Xinjiang, and a stable situation should be maintained in Jingzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and Jiujiang!"

Sun Quan's eyes were a little hesitant. Logically, they should fight back fiercely, but it is really inappropriate to start a large-scale war at this time.

It is always national strength that is fought in war.

Partial battles can be divided by combat power, but a national battle depends on whether the national power can be maintained. Two large-scale battles have broken out in Dawu this year. Whether it is the bloody battle in Bingzhou or the Western Expedition, they have already consumed the inventory of the treasury .

At this time, if an all-out decisive battle with Cao Wei starts, it will be militaristic, and it will definitely affect the people's livelihood that has been stabilized with great difficulty.

But if they don't fight, it's tantamount to giving up Bingzhou, and even taking Zhuojun in Youzhou.

"Li Nie, how is the Wei army's campaign in Xiliang going?" Sun Quan asked suddenly.

"It's going well, it's so smooth that it's hard to believe!"

Li Nie smiled wryly: "We underestimated Cao Wei a little bit. We never imagined that they could surrender Pound. Pound was like a fish in water in Liangzhou. As soon as he made a move, two of Ma Chaohui's eight generals surrendered. Beidi County I was handed over and sent away!" To be continued.

Liangzhou, Hanyang County. . .

The west of Hanyang County is connected to the Northland Army, the south is Wudu County, and the west is Longyou. It can be regarded as a county where Liangguo is now settled down, but it is full of wars.

Cao Wei declared war, and the soldiers and horses were like the wind. In less than three months, they had already entered Hanyang County.

After the reorganization of the strength of the Wei army, the regular army of all the big battalions in the country is composed of soldiers and horses of twelve guards, plus the navy and the Han army, which are not much less than Sun Wu in number.
