Chapter 485: The Battle of Hanzhong County (Part 2)

"Bang!"

Han Sui was angry and slapped the wine bottle on the small table. He looked at Ma Teng, who was the first to escape. If it weren't for him, his troops would not have been completely lost, but he still forced his anger. He knew that Zhang Lu in front of him hoped that the two would fight together with their swords...

"I would like to ask Lord Yi to withdraw to Shu County immediately! Once the thief of the Dong family comes to siege, we will die in Hanzhong. The last general is afraid that the thief will follow the trend and kill into Ba County and Shu County. Please think twice!"

Looking at Han Sui's cold face clasping his fists, Ma Teng knew that he was angry with him, so he hesitated and could only get up and clasp his fists.

"The thieves suddenly attacked. It is difficult for Shu County to gather troops to resist in a short time. Once the thieves trap our army in the city, another one will be sent to Shu County, and Shu County will be in danger!"

Just when Zhang Lu didn't know how to decide, a general in the crowd suddenly stood up.

"You can ignore the safety of Shu County. The young general and his brothers are young but are in Chengdu!"

As the general stood up with his sword, all the generals stood up coldly. When they saw this scene, Ma Chao, who was injured in his arm, was about to draw his sword in anger. Ma Teng hurriedly held the person down. This time was not a few days ago. When Zhang Lu killed Sima Zhang Xiu of other troops a few days ago, they could kill these people without any scruples, but now...

"Bang!"

Zhang Lu was furious and waited for several cold-faced generals to leave the tent. Dozens of sword-wearing soldiers broke in. The sound of "dangling" drew the sword one after another. Yan Xing was shocked and drew the sword, protecting Han Sui and Ma Teng, one left and one right, for fear that Zhang Lu would kill them together. But Han Sui and Ma Teng were like nothing happened, drinking indifferently.

"Take these people who surrender to the enemy and thieves-"

Zhang Lu suddenly slapped the table, and dozens of people came forward to arrest people, and was furious for the leader.

"Zhang Lu, you, the villain who bears the master, killed the ghost master..."

"Kill--"

Zhang Lu was furious, and dozens of soldiers rushed forward, slashing with swords. In just a moment, the hall was covered with messy blood, and screams from outside also rose and fell. For a quarter of an hour, a general broke into the tent and knelt on one knee towards Zhang Lu.

"Your Majesty, all the rebels have been beheaded."

Zhang Lu waved his hand, and the general wearing armored arms retreated with his fists, and there was a slight depression in the hall...

"General Han."

"The person who surrendered to the enemy and robbers is dead. Can our army stop the Dong family's thieves?"

Han Sui stood up expressionlessly and bowed to Zhang Lu.

"Please think twice."

...

"What do General Ma think?"

"The thief is very angry, please think twice."

...

Looking at Han Sui and Ma Teng's indifference, Zhang Lu snorted coldly in his heart, but he also knew that he still needed to help him stabilize his morale at this time.

"Well!"

"The order for Lieutenant General Yong and the brothers in the church to retreat to Ba County immediately after an hour."

Hearing Zhang Lu speak the word "Bajun", Han Sui and Ma Teng couldn't help but look at each other, but still lowered their hands and fists at Zhang Lu.

"promise!"

...

Among the generals of the Han Dynasty, "Sima from another department" was a special existence, which meant that it was not a member of the regular Han army. For example, when the Yellow Turban Army rebelled, Sun Jian recruited hundreds of righteous men in his hometown. Sun Jian was also enlisted by Zhu Jun as Sima from another department, and Zhang Xiu's "Sima from another department" was also called.

It was similar to the Taiping Road founded by the three brothers of Zhang Jiao. Zhang Xiu also founded the Wudou Mi Cult. There were many religious followers in Ba County and Hanzhong. When the Yellow Turban Army rebelled, Zhang Xiu also rebelled, but was soon defeated by the prefect Su Gu, and Zhang Xiu had to escape from Hanzhong County.

It is similar to the various princes who are rebelling at the moment. Liu Yan is not a native of Yizhou. If he wants to become a prince, he must have his own land and population support. Only in this way can he own his own troops. After entering Yizhou, he used the excuse to kill more than ten major clans including Wang Xian and Li Quan, killing Ren Qi, the prefect of Jianwei, and Jia Long and others in Yizhou.

Although Liu Yan had gained a foothold in Yizhou, this did not mean that he could rest assured. When the Yellow Turban Army rebelled in the first year of Zhongping, the Five Dogs of Mi Cult also rebelled at the same time. Although Zhang Xiu was repeatedly defeated, he still had countless believers, who were spread throughout Ba County and Hanzhong, posing a great threat to the security of Shu County.

It is whether Liu Yan was skilled and "married" with the Zhang family. This woman was Zhang Lu's mother. It is unknown whether Zhang Xiu wanted to use this woman to deceive Liu Yan, or whether Liu Yan wanted Zhang Xiu to fight to the death with Su Gu. Anyway, it was Liu Yan who recruited Zhang Xiu as a Sima of another department. Zhang Lu was in charge of the Sima of another department and asked the two to take the Five Dogs of Rice to fight with Su Gu. As a result, Su Gu was defeated and killed. Zhang Lu turned around and killed the sect leader Zhang Xiu, swallowed Zhang Xiu's subordinates in one fell swoop, and became the second leader of the Five Dogs of Rice Sect.

Hanzhong County was originally the base camp for Zhang Xiu's missionary. There were many religious people in the territory. It was not difficult to kill Su Gu from the inside and outside. If Dong Hu gave Zhang Lu one or two years, as long as Zhang Lu could successfully swallow all the inheritance left by Zhang Xiu, even if he attacked from Wudu County, Chen Cang and Mei County at the same time, it would be difficult to take Hanzhong in a short time with just 20,000 soldiers. It was not because Zhang Lu's strength was so strong, but because the valley road was difficult to move on, but because the people brainwashed by the sect were different from ordinary people.

But that was a year or two later, and Zhang Lu had just killed Zhang Xiu. Just when everyone was upset, Chen Cangdao and Baoxiedao did not have time to completely block it. Facing 20,000 elite soldiers forcibly entered from three directions, Zhang Lu was defeated repeatedly.

Gu Ju

Is Zhang Lu the Five Dogs of Rice Sect? Did he kill the sect leader Zhang Xiu usurp the throne? Is he not firm in his foothold? Dong Hu would not care about this. He was concerned about Han Sui and Ma Teng, who got together again and wanted to raise an army to threaten Guanzhong and Liangzhou. Then would he be willing?

In his memory, Liu Yan was only the King of Freedom in Sichuan and Shu from beginning to end, and did not threaten the three servants of Guanzhong. However, Han Sui and Ma Teng have been eyeing the land of Guanzhong. Others can despise the two dogs of the family, and can arrogantly think that the Xiongnu people who were running around were harmless. Dong Hu never dared to despise them a little. If he gave him a little chance, he would beat him to death. He would not give up until he killed them all!

Dong Hu did not notice the Wudou Mi Sect, nor did he care that Liu Yan occupied Sichuan and Shu. As long as he did not make trouble for him, he could turn a blind eye. However, Han Sui and Ma Teng would never succeed, and they would never allow them to occupy Hanzhong County.

The price was indeed not small. Not only did Dong Siyi be seriously injured, but the three troops lost more than 5,000 people. When several troops surrounded Nanzheng, what they got was an empty city...

"It's a loss."

Dong Sijie sighed, and was also a little worried about Dong Siyi's injuries.

"Sister I will go back to Mei County to recuperate first?"

Dong Siyi coughed in a low voice. Ma Chao hurt his heart, but he still refused Dong Sijie's suggestion.

"Don't worry, third brother, and my father also said that the prime minister is the Marquis of Ji. Once the prime minister moves the capital, we cannot continue to garrison in Ji County, so it's better to stay in Hanzhong."

Dong Sijie opened his mouth, and finally he could only look at Dong Xiaoyi helplessly.

"Han Sui, Ma Teng was too treacherous and moved all the people in the city. What should my uncle think? Did he move from Sanfu to some people to farm?"

Dong Xiaoyi frowned for a moment and turned to Xu Huang.

"What do you think Gongming?"

Xu Huang thought for a while and took out the letter from his arms. It was a military order given to him by Dong Hu Babaili.

"The world is in chaos, and it is still a short time for our army to enter the Central Plains. The lord wants to stabilize the foundation temporarily and does not want to make a big fuss. If we move the people of the Sanfu into Hanzhong, will the prime minister be angry about it?"

The hall fell silent for a moment...

"If I just blocked Han Sui and Ma Teng, I think I could scatter Zhang Lu's killing Zhang Xiu into Ba County, which would make people rumored that Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, colluded with Zhang Lu to kill Zhang Xiu, and let the Five Dou Mi Sects fight with Zhang Lu and Liu Yan..."

"Bang!"

Dong Xiaoyi slapped his thigh and was overjoyed.

"A clever plan!"

"Ha ha……"

Dong Xiaoyi was overjoyed. He could not stay in Hanzhong County for a long time. If he returned to Liangzhou, the remaining troops in Hanzhong County would be less than 10,000. The people in Nanzheng County fled. If no one farmed, they could only let the soldiers farm and support themselves. But if Zhang Lu, Han Sui and Ma Teng were always eyeing each other, the soldiers would not be able to farm with peace of mind. In this case, there were only two roads, either continue to go south and completely defeat Zhang Lu, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others, or move the people to farm. But Xu Huang gave the third road, which was to create chaos and leave Zhang Lu and others no time to take care of themselves.

Zhang Xiu is the leader of the Five Dogs of Rice Sect and the Ghost Lord. It is certain that Zhang Xiu, as the leader, must have his own confidants. Zhang Lu's killing of Zhang Xiu will definitely make some eccles in the sect dissatisfied, and even think that Zhang Lu colluded with outsiders Liu Yan to kill their sect leader.

True, false, false, true, no one knows whether Liu Yan wanted to use the Five Dogs of Rice Sect to eliminate Su Gu, or whether Zhang Lu wanted to use Zhang Lu to destroy the Five Dogs of Rice Sect, or Zhang Lu wanted to use Liu Yan to successfully take over the throne. No one knew who was using whom, but the dead one was Zhang Xiu, the leader of the Five Dogs of Rice Sect. This can be used.

Dong Xiaoyi was overjoyed and agreed with Dong Hu's words.

"Gongming is indeed a talented person. With you in Hanzhong, we can be completely relieved!"

"Ha ha……"

Dong Xiaoyi laughed and stood up. When he saw Dong Siyi who was seriously injured, he sighed again.

"Luckily, you are a kid. If something really happens, we really can't explain to our elder brother. We shouldn't be so impulsive in the future."

"promise."

Dong Siyi lowered his head and agreed. Dong Xiaoyi patted his shoulder lightly. The general died in a hundred battles. Anything on the battlefield could happen. Mountain warfare was different from the Central Plains War. It was difficult to form a strict military attack in the valley and mountains. It was normal for each other to fight in a melee. As a general, he should have this kind of awareness.

He sighed in his heart, but Dong Xiaoyi couldn't say much. Just as the few people were about to have a meal, the soldiers outside the door walked into the hall.

"You reported to the general, someone outside asked for a visit, saying that he had an old friend with the lord."

"oh?"

"Can the visitor report his own name?"

"Return to the general, the person who came said that his name was Zhao Yi."

"Salt Camel Zhao Laojiu?"
