The next day.

Wei Ji came to Chang'an.

As early as when Li Jue and Guo Si fled against each other, Liu Fan sent someone to Hedong to ask Wei Ji.

Wei Ji's "law" Liu Fan highly praised it, and it is impossible for Wei Ji to maintain peace in Guanzhong.

Liu Fan suggested that Wei Ji was the Yin of Jingzhao, and he could be the civil affairs of Fengyi on the left and Fufeng on the right.

"Junzhong has just returned. I will entrust it to you now. I will return from Hanzhong for as long as one month or as half a month. During this period, all political affairs will be decided by you. In the past, Jia Fu asked the troops to attack the bandits in Yan County. Emperor Guangwu smiled and said, "What are my worries about taking Jinwu to attack Yan County?" Jingzhao Yin's wisdom and courage are better than others. Now is the time for you to display your skills. I allow you to take advantage of the situation and act on camera without sending a message to Guanzhong to ask me for instructions."

Before leaving, Liu Fan said to Wei Ji.

"I will definitely reform the three auxiliary places in accordance with the Prime Minister's laws, so that the people can have something to wear and food, and the scholars will not dare to violate it if they hear it."

Wei Ji bowed and said.

"I'm relieved! General Xu Huang, the Southern Expedition, led all the troops to take charge of Guanzhong. If the thieves in the west dare to move, they can defend according to the three auxiliary forces. Shangjun and Hedong can support them."

Liu Fan finally ordered Wei Ji.

"promise!"

Wei Ji received the order.

After all the explanations, Liu Fan led his personal guards and the Longxiang cavalry who led Zhao Yun, and dispatched 10,000 cavalry under Xu Huang.

They all rushed south with their maneuvers.

There is only one chance, and there will be no loss.

Now entering Hanzhong from Guanzhong represents the Xiagu Road and Jigu Road, which can be passed smoothly.

Once Liu Yan occupied Guanzhong and cut off the slanting valley road, it would be difficult to enter Guanzhong again.

Hanzhong is the birthplace of the Han family.

The foundation of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, originated in Hanzhong. After the unification of the world, the country was named "Han".

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Hanzhong had not yet divided Wei Xing and Shangyong, and it was a huge territory. It was a large county with a population of nearly 300,000.

There is no master in the world, and the court has changed due to Liu Fan's intervention.

Liu Yan's three sons who remained in the capital actually returned to Yizhou by chance and threw themselves into Liu Yan's arms.

Liu Yan's three sons are the eldest son Liu Fan, the second son Liu Dan, and the third son Liu Zhang...

There was no emperor in the world. After his three sons returned to Yizhou, Liu Yan's ambitions rose sharply. He built a carriage and weighed more than a thousand to become emperor.

The four lands of Shu are in a solid state, and the road to Shu is very difficult, one link is connected to another. The mountain road is not suitable for cavalry to advance. Infantry entering Yizhou will face passes like natural dangers.

Only Hanzhong will

After his three sons returned to Yizhou, Liu Yan had no worries. He immediately sent the governor, Zhang Lu, and other Sima Zhang Xiu, to lead 30,000 infantry soldiers to send troops from the Yizhou capital Mianzhu, cross the Micang Road, and attack Hanzhong.

Hanzhong prefect Su Gu set up a defense line in the area of ​​Micang Mountain, hoping to use more than 10,000 troops to block the offensive of Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Lu was brave and good at fighting, and with the support of Liu Yan from Jizhou, he won several battles in a row.

Su Gu retreated step by step and retreated to the Han River area.

In desperation, Su Gu had no choice but to send envoys to seek help from the court.

Su Gu understood that only the court had the ability to save him.

However, at that time, Su Gu's letter of help was sent by detour. After many turnovers, it had been ten days since he reached Liu Fan's hands. Under Zhang Lu's strong attack, too many things would happen in ten days.

On the third day after Liu Fan set out from Guanzhong, Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu had already led their troops to the city of Nanzheng, the county seat of Hanzhong County.

"Your Dukes, the bandit army is fierce and unstoppable. Now our army has only a few thousand troops. It will be useless to retreat to this Nanzheng City! I am afraid that if I stay, the city will be broken by the rebels before the reinforcements arrive."

At the prefect's capital, Su Gu said to the civil and military officials of the county with a sad face.

"The Prime Minister is too far away from Hanzhong. Guanzhong is still in the hands of the traitors, and reinforcements can only detour from Jingzhou. In this way, reinforcements cannot be reached for a month."

The county magistrate sighed.

At this time, Liu Fan had recovered Guanzhong, but the news had not yet reached Hanzhong.

"I wish I could follow my plan early, otherwise I would defend the Yonekura Road, so how could the bandits come to Nanzheng City?"

Su Gu said regretfully.

There is a person under Su Gu's command, named Chen Diao.

He once advised Su Gu on defending the art of defending the enemy, but Su Gu thought Chen Dian was born as a light knight, and Su Gu saw it clearly and did not use Chen Dian's strategy.

Chen Diao asked him to send an army to guard the dangerous area of ​​Micang Road to prevent Liu Yan from leaving Shu several months ago.

At that time, Liu Yan was very quiet and showed no sign of sending troops, so Su Gu did not obey. Now that the troops were at the city, it was too late to regret it.

"Report..., report... sir, Nanzheng City is broken, the bandits... have entered the city."

A soldier in a panic ran into the lobby and said intermittently.

"How is that possible?"

Su Gu immediately sat up and said in disbelief: "The traitor has only been in Nanzheng for less than half a day. I had no movement when I went to patrol the four gates just now. How could he suddenly break through the city gate?"

"The army Sima turned against the enemy in front of the battlefield and opened the south gate of Nanzheng City. The bandits have entered the city from the south gate. Please make a decision quickly."

After the soldier calmed down his mind, he finished explaining the reason for the city's breakup in one breath.

As soon as these words fell, all the officials present were panicked and thundered.

A traitor appeared, which means that Nanzheng City is over.

"Sir, leave quickly. Zhang Lu wants to use your head to Liu Yan to seek credit!"

At this time, Chen Diao, an engaged in Hanzhong, brought his sword into the lobby and said to Su Gu's mature man.

"ah…………"

Su Gu exclaimed.

Chen Di's words blocked his way to surrender.

However, the other officials in Hanzhong breathed a sigh of relief and thoughts were filled with thoughts in their minds.

Whether to defect to Zhang Lu can surround them?

Su Gu no longer cared about other officials, led his 100 guards to the prefect's mansion with Chen Diao and came to the streets and alleys in the city.

Suddenly, I heard a shout: "Catch the Hanzhong prefect Su Gu, and reward a hundred golds."

The entrance to this street and alley has been blocked, and the entire city and alley is filled with soldiers of Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu.

Su Gu was afraid of being found by the enemy, so he came to a courtyard. Su Gu found that this was the mansion of his chief clerk Zhao Song. He was overjoyed and knocked in the door and wanted to hide.

Zhao Song is a man of both civil and military affairs. He just guarded the city at the North Gate and heard the chaos in the city.

After learning that the rebels had entered the city, they had to flee home.

Unexpectedly, I happened to meet Su Gu and Chen Diao.

"I love the people so much in Hanzhong, but Liu Yan did it the opposite of his own interests. I really despise him."

After Zhao Song saw Su Gu, the two hugged each other and cried, and they were indignant.

Zhao Song and Chen Diao in history were very loyal to Su Gu.

Zhao Song was very angry when he found out that Su Gu was killed. He picked up his sword and rushed into Zhang Xiu's camp alone to kill dozens of people and almost captured Zhang Xiu, but died in battle because he was outnumbered.

After Chen Diao learned that Zhao Song had died, he gathered more than a hundred guests to attack Zhang Xiu's army and defeated Zhang Xiu's front army and entered Zhang Xiu's camp. In the end, Chen Diao was also injured and died in battle.

These two people are not only literary, but also brave. However, because Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu did not kill Su Gu, they only left a shallow comparison in history.
