    ?

    "Four more days?"

    Zhou Zheng said without getting bored after hearing this.

    "My lord, if you are not used to riding in this carriage, tomorrow we will go to Qingshui City to rest for a day."

    Shi Kuan made a suggestion to Zhou Zheng.

    "Qingshui City? That's the territory of the Xue family."

    Zhou Zheng immediately thought of the Xue family.

    "That's right."

    "Okay, let's also visit Xue's family by the way." Zhou Zhen felt that Shi Kuan's proposal was very good, and he could just take this opportunity to chat with Xue's family.

    If I can get the support of the Xue family, I must be wishing for it

    The land of Hanzhong.

    "My lord, the Xiyi tribe's army is less than a hundred miles away from Hanzhong!"

    "Barry?"

    Wu Ziyu, the magistrate of Hanzhong City, showed panic when he heard that the Xiyi army was less than a hundred miles away, "Why so fast?" Wu Ziyu didn't expect it to be so fast.

    "They have Zhang Wude as the leader of the army, and they attacked cities and villages along the way, and few people resisted!"

    The person in front of Wu Ziyu said.

    Zhang Wude is very familiar with the combat habits of their Da Zhou soldiers, so whether it is field battles, sieges, or raids, Zhang Wude is very powerful.

    In addition, the Xiyi tribe is always warlike, and the combination of the two is even more invincible.

    "A distance of one hundred miles? Based on their current distance, I'm afraid they will be able to resist my Hanzhong City in less than two days. How many defenders are there in my Hanzhong City?"

    Wu Ziyu asked eagerly.

    In any case, they have to wait until the imperial court sends someone over. He has written a letter to the imperial court, and the imperial court should know the current situation in Hanzhong.

    Whether it's war or peace, there will always be an instruction.

    "There are about 30,000 defenders in the city!"

    "30,000 people are not enough. The enemy's army claims to be 100,000, and we only have 30,000. In such a disparate situation, it is difficult for us to resist by ourselves. Immediately send my order to let the soldiers stationed nearby to support Hanzhong City.  If Hanzhong City falls, we will bear the blame."

    Wu Ziyu said.

    He understands the importance of Hanzhong City very well. If Hanzhong City is really lost, they can only apologize with death.

    "good."

    The person in front of Wu Ziyu nodded.

    "I'm going to have a look on the city wall. I want to see if I'm ready to fight the enemy to the death." Wu Ziyu felt that it was necessary for him to go to the city wall to check the situation.

    There are some things that you can only feel at ease when you see them yourself

    the other side.

    "Why did it stop?"

    Zhang Wude brought his guards to the camp of the Chinese army, walked in and asked Zhu You, the general of the Xiyi army, it was still early, and he didn't know why he didn't move on.

    "The three armies are a little tired now, let everyone take a rest."

    Zhu You asked Zhang Wude to sit down and said slowly, now Zhang Wude is the treasure in Zhu You's hands, and it is Zhang Wude's credit that they can win Yangping Pass.

    "Marshal, I still think it's not appropriate for us to stop at this time. We should send out surprise troops. Soldiers are very fast. It is the best choice to reach Hanzhong City quickly and take Hanzhong. When we take Hanzhong, we will have a foothold.  At that time, it will be fine for you to let the army rest for a few days."

    Zhang Wude said to Zhu You.

    Hanzhong is a very important place. If they can't take Hanzhong as their own, they don't have much chance of winning this time.

    Although they have won many battles now, they are still rootless, and Hanzhong is where they want to take root.

    Hanzhong is a big city, which can solve many of their problems.

    It is a place where you can attack and retreat.

    Therefore, when they cannot give Hanzhong any respite, Zhang Wude can be sure that Hanzhong is gathering soldiers and horses at this time, and they must take Hanzhong before the soldiers and horses gather.

    Otherwise, delaying their loss will be even greater.

    "Stopping now is a waste of opportunity, and our army has no place to rely on at this time. Yangping Pass can't support the consumption of my 100,000 troops."

    Zhang Wude spoke earnestly, hoping that Zhu You could understand what he said.

    It is time to march immediately and try to reach Hanzhong City tomorrow night.

    "General Zhang, be safe and don't be impatient. I know this matter, I know it all, and you are right, but you have to think about us and my three armies. It's only a few days, and you have brought the army all the way.  There were no less than 20 people who attacked the city and seized the stronghold, and none of the soldierstime to rest.  "

    "Everyone is a body of flesh and blood. Even if they are fighting, they can't fight day and night. No one is a body of steel, and no one can bear it. Just yesterday, the leaders of several tribes came to tell me that some of their tribes had already  I¡¯m too tired to stand up, you say, even if we take down all of Dazhou, my army is exhausted, how can we defend these places we have captured?¡±

    Zhu You also understands what Zhang Wude means, but you can't just look at this matter from one side.

    You also have to look at the current situation of the army.

    Zhang Wude is like a chicken blood now, but not everyone has a chicken blood, their food and grass have fallen behind them by a hundred miles.

    It is not an exaggeration, there is now a fault in the army.

    "But now is the best time to win Hanzhong. The marshal is not exaggerating. Hanzhong has no more than 50,000 defenders at this time. If we go there now, we will definitely be able to win it. If it is over, we will hang up."

    Zhang Wude carefully analyzed the situation.

    "It's better to wait a day to rectify the armed forces before starting." Zhu You waved his hand and said.

    Seeing Zhu You's persistence, Zhang Wude didn't continue talking. He was eager for revenge, but he also knew his current situation.

    "In that case, I will bid farewell!"

    Zhang Wude left the tent.

    Zhang Wude left the camp, and two people walked in from the outside, "Why did the marshal stop suddenly? Don't we capture Hanzhong City?"

    "Of course we have to capture it, but let's slow down this matter. Zhang Wude attacked the city and pulled out the stronghold. At this time, the reputation in the army is booming. Zhang Wude should also wake up."

    Zhu You said slowly.

    He wants to let Zhang Wude know who has the final say in this army.

    "Marshal, are you worried about Zhang Wude taking credit for himself?"

    "That's right, and at the same time I'm also worried that Zhang Wude is eager for revenge and will do whatever it takes, and we will lose at that time!" said the two who followed Zhu You.

    "How about those bandits?"

    "What else can I do, except burning, killing and looting!"

    "Tell Chen Jiu, don't go too far." Zhu You asked someone to tell Chen Jiu that you need to be a little scrupulous in doing things, and don't feel that you are invincible.

    "clear."

    One of them nodded and backed out.

    Zhang Wude came out of the tent and saw Chen Jiu walking back with someone from outside.

    "Quick, move everything in for me!"

    Chen Jiu smiled and greeted the group of people behind him. There were more than a dozen carriages, each of which was fully loaded, with at least a dozen wooden boxes on them.

    "Chen Jiu."

    Zhang Wude walked towards Chen Jiu and called Chen Jiu's name.

    "General Zhang!" Seeing Zhang Wude, Chen Jiu greeted with a smile.

    After Zhang Wude left Chang'an with Zhang Cong's body, he met Chen Jiu on the road. Chen Jiu escaped from the Qinling Mountains and came to Hanzhong to gather a group of brothers to resume their old business.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
