Chapter 792: The Northern Army (Second Update)

Because of this huge news, for a moment, the tent fell into a dead silence. The same was true for Meng Huo, and the official sent by Liu Zhang was even more so.

"We immediately return to Nanzhong, go north from Lujin Pass, and take a long way to Chengdu." But Yong Kai was also a decisive person after all. After a moment, he made a decision and said.

"Is it too late?" Meng Huo next to him couldn't help but say.

Shu is full of mountains, and only the Chengdu Plain is flat. The reason why they crossed the river from here was that they originally wanted to protect Ba County, but now that Ba County has been compromised, they have no way to do even if they stay.

However, it takes at least three or four months to enter Shu from another road.

"We have to try it too late. Kou Feng must not enter Shu." Yong Kai said decisively.

"good."

Meng Huo also nodded.

Late that night, Yong Kai and Meng Huo left behind 30,000 soldiers as disguise to conceal Deng Ai, Gan Ning and others thought they were still there.

Select 70,000 elite soldiers, return to Nanzhong, and then take a long way to Chengdu.

For their own benefit.

Join the battle for Shu.

………………………….

On the south bank, Meng Huo only left 30,000 ordinary soldiers, and selected 70,000 of them to return to the southern middle, and then went to Shu from another road.

Although it is extremely secretive, it cannot be hidden from Gan Ning.

The Southern Barbarians are very warlike. Every few days, a group of people will go to fight, or waving flags and shouting on the south bank, provoking. Now it suddenly becomes quiet, and no one feels something is wrong.

On this day, Gan Ning realized something was wrong.

The warship group of Chu army could not help but commanded the Chu army and passed by the Nanman Water Village near the Nanman Water Village. However, the Nanman Water Village opposite seemed as quiet as stagnant water.

Very weird.

"Provoke them." Gan Ning stood upright near the bow of the ship. The armor on his body was very dazzling. He looked at it carefully for a moment and said.

"No." The soldiers beside him responded to the promise and immediately ordered.

Immediately, the warship began to approach the water camp. And a group of arrows flew towards the water camp.

"Barriors, do you dare to go out of the village to fight my right general for three hundred rounds?" The Chu soldiers on the ship shouted even more. Then, they laughed again.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Very exciting.

But there was still no movement in the water camp. There were only batches of arrows flying down. No one drove the warships and came to fight Gan Ning for 300 rounds.

"I'm afraid I got the news and went to the north by a long journey." After repeated provocations, Gan Ning was already sure of this situation.

"Appoint, go back to the camp." Gan Ning ordered.

"No." The people beside him replied, and immediately sent a signal, and the fleet returned to the north shore.

After the fleet landed, Gan Ning personally rode on the war horse and brought some personal soldiers to Deng Ai's camp. Without having to pass the crowd, he went straight into the central army's tent.

In the central army tent, Deng Ai knelt down and read books very quietly. In the past, Deng Ai didn't talk much and never chatted with others. In the army, he often passed the time by reading books.

"General Deng, the situation in the south is wrong." After Gan Ning entered the camp, he said first, and then said the situation in the camp.

Although this war was led by Gan Ning, the right general, when it came, Gan Ning was hinted by Kou Feng. If there was an emergency, ask Deng Ai's opinions more.

Gan Ning is a proud and most people are definitely not convinced. But Deng Ai is a person who followed Kou Feng very early and grew up with him.

During the establishment of the State of Chu, he made great contributions. If it weren't for his young age, he might have the position to be above Gan Ning.

He is someone that Gan Ning admires very much. Now that something big happens, he naturally asks.

"The king has more than 20,000 elite soldiers, of which Pojun camps and his own personal soldiers are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles. They can block ten, which is like a 30,000 army. In addition, the 50,000 army of the military advisor general is 80,000. Even Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang, Nanman and other 200,000 troops are not scared. Moreover, the southern barbarian Meng Huo and others have to take a long way to reach Chengdu at least for a few months. By then, the king has already pacified Chengdu, and it is useless to go there. On the contrary, we are here."

As he said that, Deng Ai solemnly said to Gan Ning: "This road is the only way for us to enter Sichuan. If it is cut off, it is unforgivable. If the Southern Barbarians only use a trick of doubting their troops and do not take a long way to Chengdu. Instead, they wait for us to relax or go to the north to support the king. And lead the troops to break in and occupy this road. The king will catch a turtle in a jar."

Deng Ai's meaning is already very obvious.

It is to guard your own affairs and ignore other things for the time being and leave them to Kou Feng to deal with them. This is the combat ability of Chu and Kou Feng's confidence.

Gan Ning also felt it made sense when he heard this and nodded, "Then I will order the soldiers to continue to be on guard and guard this place."

As he said that, Gan Ning nodded to Deng Ai and left immediately. Deng Ai stood up and saw him off.

"The southern barbarians cannot jump for long. You are not Liu Zhang, you can tolerate the barbarians to rage on the territory of the Han people." After Gan Ning left, Deng Ai's face was full of murderous intent.

Deng Ai can also be said to have been cultivated by Kou Feng, and some of his thoughts were contaminated by Kou Feng. Let’s talk about it as pollution.

I don't have any good feelings for the barbarians.

The State of Chu destroyed Shanyue in the east and Wuxi in the south. Now in the west, I am afraid that the Southern Barbarians will also be destroyed.

North, near Xiameng Pass.

Zheng Du's convoy slowly headed towards Xiameng Pass, which was an important place in Shu and an important pass to defend Zhang Lu. Even when Zhang Ren was defeated in the south and Yan Yan could not support him.

Liu Zhang did not mobilize the army here, but at this moment, he had to do it for it.

On the carriage, Zheng Du looked at Xia Mengguan not far away and sighed. Drive the tiger and swallow the wolf, don’t swallow yourself.

Along the way, Zheng Du had already assigned Gao Pei, who was in charge of Guangyuan. As long as he mobilized Yang Huai's 10,000 elite troops, he could form an army of 30,000, and join forces with Zhang Lu to rescue Chengdu.

Thinking of this, Zheng Du abandoned his concerns about Chengdu and became excited again.

Zheng Du has not arrived at Xiameng Pass here, but Xiameng Pass has been closed and opened. Yang Huai led more than a hundred personal soldiers to welcome Zheng Du.

"Hahaha, sir." Yang Huai laughed and turned over and dismounted, paying homage.

Yang Huai is a strong player in Yizhou. He has made great contributions and is also very loyal. Especially in Zhang Lu's matchup, he defeated Zhang Lu, and his prestige is also extremely high.

But Zheng Du is a wise man, and everyone in Yizhou admires him very much. Yang Huai is no exception.

"General Yang." Zheng Du smiled slightly, got off the carriage, and helped Yang Huai up.

After the two greeted each other, Yang Huai asked, "Why did the general come to the north?"

"The southern Ba County has been captured and Chengdu is about to be surrounded. I am responsible for contacting the general and General Gao and dispatching 30,000 troops to rescue Chengdu." The news is not known in the north, and Zheng Du explained.

"What? Old General Yan Yan was defeated?" Yang Huai was shocked and said.

If you want to talk about Zheng Du's wise man, Yan Yan is the general among the generals. First there was Zhang Ren and then Yan Yan. The two most powerful generals in Yizhou failed.

This surprised Yang Huai, but also shocked.

"Yes, General, please prepare early. I won't stay in Xiameng Pass anymore." Zheng Du smiled bitterly and nodded.

"What? Sir, don't you return it with the army?" Yang Huai said in surprise again.

"I want to go to the north to contact the rice thieves and form a lip and teeth alliance." Zheng Du became even more bitter and said with a wry smile.

"Alliance Mi Thief?" Yang Huai suspected that he had heard it wrong. Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang fought one after another, but now he was going to connect with Mi Thief, which made Yang Huai feel a little unbearable.

"Everything is the first priority to protect Shu Kingdom, and the general will also take it a little more." Seeing this, Zheng Du explained. Then he said, "I am leaving."

As he said that, Zheng Du got on the carriage again, and the carriage slowly headed towards Xia Meng Pass.

"We are going to connect with the Mi thief, my Shu Kingdom, hey." Yang Huai came to his senses for a long time and sighed.

"Come here, order the entire army to prepare and send troops at any time." Then, Yang Huai restored his true nature as a powerful general in Yizhou and ordered loudly.

"No." The left and right guards agreed.

Soon after, the entire Xiameng Pass began to operate. A large number of food and arrows were mobilized.

On the other hand, after leaving Xiameng Pass, Zheng Du went eastward and headed towards Hanzhong.

Yizhou is also known as Shu and Xichuan. Hanzhong is also known as Dongchuan. Together, it is the two rivers. They should be lips and teeth to each other.

But now there are two people who occupy these lips and teeth. Naturally, it is incompatible with water and fire.

The reason why Zhang Lu was called the Mi Thief was because he founded the Five Dogs of Rice Cult, which relied on the unity of politics and religion, and ruled the area. Because of Zhang Lu's style, it greatly affected the interests of the local forces in Yizhou and the scholars of Dongzhou.

Therefore, although Zhang Lu was fierce, he was always resisted by the gentry in Shu and could not advance. However, Zhang Lu had a very high prestige in Hanzhong.

Because for the Hanzhong people, Zhang Lu's rule was very tolerant. In addition, the Hanzhong Plain was very rich. Therefore, Hanzhong's national strength was very strong.

Except for the fact that he could not compete with Ma Teng and Han Sui, the rest were better than them.

When Zheng Du left Xiameng Pass and arrived in Hanzhong City, he saw a prosperous scene where people spread out in the wilderness and no relicts were collected.

I have to sigh that Mi Thief is also a benevolent lord.

Soon, Zheng Du and his group arrived outside Hanzhong City. At this moment, it was morning. A large number of people were preparing to enter the city. It was a bit crowded.

There are also guards who are checking each other.

After waiting for a while, Zheng Du and his friends arrived at the gate of the city. Zheng Du also revealed his identity to the guards.

"I am Zheng Du, the minister of the tent of the Marquis of Shu, and I come here to see the prefect Zhang, so please inform me."
