Chapter 745 Hanzhong Zhang Dao

When the Ming King of the Han Empire and the Qin King formed an alliance in Xianyang City, a special character secretly arrived in Xia City's teleportation array.

The Tiger Guard Army and the Detachment of Women were responsible for protecting the Xia Palace. This person came to the Xia Palace. Dian Wei led the Tiger Guard to protect the person into the Xia Palace.

"Zhang Dao, you seem to have too much white hair."

Chu Tian was fishing in the pavilion in the backyard. The eldest daughter Chu Xuan held a reed and stirred the water surface, disturbing Chu Tian’s fishing.

Chu Tian turned a blind eye to his eldest daughter's approach, and he wasn't really fishing either.

"Chu Tian, ​​you are really leisurely. The war is about to begin. This time, the Han Empire and all tribes will participate in the war. I am afraid that millions of people will die."

Zhang Dao sat depressedly in the pavilion, and was not polite, and tidied up his robe.

Chu Xuan sat in the corridor of the pavilion and looked at the stranger curiously.

Zhang Dao had almost never been to Prince Xia's Mansion, but before, Chu Tian actually had contact with Zhang Dao, but it was not that close.

Zhang Dao's Hanzhong formed a country and although he did not have a king, Zhang Dao said it the same thing in Hanzhong, and Hanzhong was also the only small kingdom established by the peasant army.

The peasant army's strength was still too weak and it was never able to occupy the entire Yizhou.

However, if Zhang Dao occupied Yizhou, he would not be invited to see Chu Tian here.

Zhang Dao noticed Chu Tian’s eldest daughter: “Is this the eldest princess of Prince Xia’s mansion?”

"I heard that you failed to attack Yizhou, and General Li Zicheng was attacked by Guan Yu and was seriously injured."

Chu Tian shifted his attention from fishing to Zhang Dao.

"Liu Bei and Yang Su are originally heroes, and it is difficult for me to compete with Liu An. Yang Su's ability may reach the imperial level. Liu Bei's charm is either a saint or an imperial level. Li Zicheng and Zhang Liang and other peasant generals actually have great shortcomings. They are prone to arrogant and lack military discipline. You should know this."

Zhang Dao was basically helpless about this.

The peasant army generals were unilaterally suppressed in front of the steady hero.

"Give up the march into Yizhou, walk on Chencang Road, and attack Longxi."

Chu Tian made a request to Zhang Dao.

Zhang Dao immediately understood what Chu Tian meant: "You want me to attack Xiliang and put pressure on Guanzhong? But the army deployed by Lao Qin in Xiliang cannot be easily provoked."

"If Hanzhong could conquer Xiliang, I think you had already sent troops to Liangzhou. So, as long as Hanzhong sent troops to harass Liangzhou, it would be necessary to delay some of the troops in Lao Qin."

"How many soldiers do you want me to send, what level do I reach, and what benefits can I get?"

"With your special ability, maintaining more than 100,000 war soldiers should be easily promoted for you, right? At least you have to hold on to the same force and after conquering Guanlong, you can be the King of Hanzhong, of course, in name but not real."

"The king with name but no truth? What is the benefit of this?"

"The seal means endless war."

"No wonder not many people are willing to surrender to you. I have enjoyed the feeling of a local emperor. It is not easy to give up my current status? However, I still agree to your conditions. Hanzhong was originally just a county and could not compete with you."

Zhang Dao is indeed more than ten thousand people in Hanzhong. If he is conferred a title of king, he will only enjoy the nominal benefits, which is not the same as mastering real power.

But sooner or later, the Han Empire will be unified, and Zhang Dao has to consider his future.

Perhaps, Chu Tian’s statement is more true, because even if Xu Promise is a king with real power, he will break the bridges in the future, and this has been the case since ancient times.

"Then, I will return to Hanzhong to prepare for the troops."

Zhang Dao only stayed in the Xia Palace for a moment. Zhang Dao, as a vassal who has been active until now, should have a clear idea of ​​how to organize the attack.

Chu Tian didn't think that Zhang Dao had never thought of attacking Xiliang for ten years.

If Hanzhong wants to expand, it either attacks Yizhou or goes out to Qishan six times.

"If Liu An cannot resist Liu Bei, let him stop Liu Bei from expanding into Hanzhong. Liu Bei will definitely be greedy for Hanzhong or Jingzhou if he cannot support him. If he cannot support him, he can ask me for reinforcements."

"I have considered this."

After Zhang Dao said that, he left Prince Xia’s Mansion.

"Xuan'er, it's time for us to have a meal."

Chu Tian put down his fishing rod, hugged Chu Xuan, and went to the side hall.

There is no need to worry about dialogue with princes at the level of Zhang Dao.

...

In Hanzhong, Nanzheng County, Zhang Dao returned from the teleportation array and summoned the generals, as well as the injured King of Rebellion Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng's hidden ambitions are very high, and Zhang Dao dared not fully trust Li Zicheng.

There are also many contradictions within the peasant army, which may be why Zhang Dao was unable to attack Hanzhong.

There are no strong opponents in Hanzhong, and outside, neither Liu Bei nor Lao Qin are easy to provoke.

"The population in Hanzhong is millions, and it can recruit 100,000 elite troops and hundreds of thousands of peasant troops. However, the Shu road is difficult, and one man is at the pass, and tens of thousands of men cannot open. I fought with Liu An and Liu Yan for many years, but I didn't expect to be profitable by Liu Bei, Yang Su, and the fisherman. There are also Xiliang Iron Cavalry in the north. If ordinary peasant soldiers attack Xiliang, they will only be slaughtered by Xiliang Iron Cavalry."

Zhang Dao looked around the general.

His generals were divided into several factions and checked and balanced each other.

The Yellow Turban Legion, the chief generals are Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, and the elite troops are the Yellow Turban Strongmen, the Yellow Turban Long, and the ordinary Yellow Turban Soldiers.

The King of Rebellion Army was the leader of Li Zicheng, the deputy general Liu Zongmin, and the military advisor Song Xiance. The elite troops were the Dashun Army, and they were actually slightly elite refugees.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's army. That's right, the chief general is Chen Sheng and Wu Guang who shouted "Where are kings, princes, generals, and ministers?" However, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's ability are actually not very clever. Their role is that they are very well-known, so they have better characteristics.

The Five Dogs of Mi Legion, Zhang Lu, Yang Ang, Yang Ren and others were subordinate to the Legion. Zhang Dao annexed the Zhang Lu power, and the Five Dogs of Mi Legion was also absorbed by Zhang Dao.

"You and others recruit troops, each legion recruits 50,000 troops, totaling 200,000 troops. What I need is an elite army, not a temporary recruitment of peasant troops."

Zhang Dao knew how fast his group of his men were.

But the problem is that leading a group of refugees to attack Xiliang, not to mention the consumption of food, grass and weapons, fighting with the Western Liang Iron Cavalry in Liangzhou is tantamount to seeking death.

Unless you can gain a foothold in Xiliang, Zhang Dao has the opportunity to directly explode troops in the local area.

The strengthening characteristics of the peasant army can be said to be a double-edged sword, with both pros and cons.

"Twenty-hundred thousand elite soldiers, do you still want to attack Yizhou?"

Zhang Lu's face changed.

Liu Bei and Yang Su from Yizhou are not stupid people. Their abilities are far better than those of Liu Yan and Liu Zhang and his son.

"No, we want to attack Xiliang."

"Crazy, crazy! How can our Hanzhong infantry compete with the Western Liang Iron Cavalry?"

Zhang Lu was more cautious. He heard that Zhang Dao was going to attack Liangzhou, and his face was even worse.

The cavalry of Xiliang galloped across Liangzhou. It was more difficult for the cavalry of Hanzhong to compete with the cavalry of Xiliang than the Shu Road. Furthermore, the good horses of the Zhang Dao power mainly came from trade with some Qiang tribes and Di tribes in Longxi.

"In this northern war, we join the Xia King's camp."

Zhang Dao could not hide his position, so he simply admitted it generously.

"King of Xia..."

Zhang Liang, Li Zicheng and others were moved by it.

They knew that in the war in the north, the princes needed to take sides, and the Chutian forces were always harsh and seized the whale and tigers against the princes.

This time, their lord Zhang Dao chose to stand on the side of King Xia.

"Since the prefect supports King Xia, I believe that attacking Xiliang is the price that the prefect needs to pay."

As a discerning person, Gongcao Yan Pu saw Zhang Dao's motives.

"The world is bustling, and we can't stay out of it. If things come true, you can still have a bright future in the future."

After Zhang Dao finished speaking, a group of peasant generals whispered.

Zhang Dao is their current leader, but he decides their future lords.

Yan Pu asked, "Where is the way for the troops to go out? Chencang Road? Baoxi Road? Or, Ziwu Road?"

"I wonder if it is feasible if the Ziwu Road can go directly to Chang'an?"

"No, Ziwu Road is narrow and the road is difficult. Chang'an has heavy troops. I am afraid that it would not be that when I arrived in Chang'an, I would spend a lot of food and grass. Guanzhong is waiting for labor. Our army plunged into the Guanzhong army and was wiped out in an instant."

"Then according to my vision, go to Chencang Road and attack Longxi."

Zhang Dao gave up the Ziwu Road route proposed by Wei Yan in history.

Lao Qin is not an ordinary person. Chang'an and Xianyang stockpiled heavy troops and walked on Ziwu Road is like giving away heads, and one gift is 100,000.

He chose the more remote Chen Cangdao to attack Longxi instead of Guanzhong.

Longxi was originally Xu Fengnian's territory. Later, Xu Fengnian's three subordinates rebelled and defected to Lao Qin, and Lao Qin then occupied Xiliang.

In other words, Lao Qin's ruling foundation in Xiliang was not as stable as Guanzhong.

What Zhang Dao wants to attack is also the Xiliang area with a weak ruling foundation.

In Hanzhong, various peasant corps began to recruit elite troops and were not satisfied with the low-level peasant army.

The scouts learned that the three lords in Longxi were panicked.

They vaguely realized that the mobilization of troops in Hanzhong was related to Longxi.

Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan six times and attacked Longxi more than once. He wanted to gain a stable stronghold after occupying Longxi and use Longxi's war horses to capture Guanzhong.

"When we betrayed Xu Fengnian, we had already thought about the current disaster in advance. Since we dared to do it, we must take it. In any case, we cannot let the troops from Hanzhong capture Longxi. If it falls into Zhang Dao's hands, who knows whether he will hand us over to Xu Fengnian?"

The three lords were worried about being captured by Zhang Dao, and as soon as they heard any movement, they immediately started to prepare.

"The princes have started to take sides..."

Outside Jianye City, a huge warship is under construction. This ship has a five-story structure and is more than a hundred feet high, like a giant.

This is a warship built by Tongque with the drawings redeemed by points.

"It's only a matter of time before this warship has cut off the connection between Jingbei and Jingnan and annexed Jingzhou."

The bronze croaker boarded a large unfinished building ship, a large ship used for inland river combat.

Aside Tongque, there is a boy who is only eleven years old.
