Chapter 550

: Chapter 205: Blocked

An order was sent to tell people not to harass the people, but within two days, they arrived at the city of Hanzhong.Looking at this land in the northwest, one of the best big cities, Liu Zhang also had some headaches.How to take down this strong city with the least cost, I'm afraid it will really take a lot of effort.

The army was ordered to go to the village [-] miles away from the city and bury the pot to make food.The next day, Zhang Xiu was ordered to lead an army of [-] troops to call for a battle, but Zhang Lu in the city ignored him and made up his mind to stick to it.

Zhang Xiu waved his army to attack twice, leaving more than 300 corpses behind, but returned without success.He returned Liu Zhang's dejection, but Liu Zhang had no choice but to comfort him and let him go down to rest.

Pulling Jia Xu, the two ran to a high hill to check. After returning to the camp, Liu Zhang asked Jia Xu for advice. Jia Xu frowned slightly, but there was no good solution for a while.

Liu Zhang thought about the kerosene bombs he used to attack Guangzong that day, and couldn't help but secretly regret it.At this moment, those kerosene bombs are all in Qingzhou. When Zhang Lu got here, he had such a strong and clear posture, and he wanted to rush to make a stop, but he couldn't do it. [

Moreover, looking at the firmness of Hanzhong City, it is obviously much stronger than Guangzong in the past. I am afraid that even if there is, it will be of little use, so I have to put out that thought bitterly.

In the next few days, both sides had to resort to conventional siege warfare.Zhang Lu is quite talented, and he defends the city in a reasonable and orderly manner, such as nest cars, car crashes, ant-attachment, and digging holes. He has his own countermeasures. He made up his mind not to go out, but to stick to it. , but if you want to quickly win Hanzhong, there is no follow-up military support, and you are helpless.

It was the end of summer now, and although the land of Xichuan was located at the extreme edge, it was often in danger of damp and miasma. The Xiliang army had been delayed for a long time, and their morale was gradually declining. Zhang Xiu and others couldn't help but secretly worried.

"My lord, why don't you ask your lord to send some soldiers here, if you can get the elder brother to come here to fight together, with the power of our two families, we will fight to the death of this thief."

On this day, Zhang Xiu, who had been devastated again, returned to the big tent, took off his pocket with resentment, and couldn't help but speak to Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang glanced at Jia Xu who was beside him with half-closed eyes, smiled wryly and shook his head.Leaving aside the fact that he really wanted to do that, he would only injure the enemy one thousand and himself injure eight hundred, which also involved two inconveniences.

First, Liu Yan has not been in Shu for a long time, and his foundation is not stable at this moment.Once the war is launched with all its strength, the various expenditures caused by it will probably cause incalculable damage on this unstable political foundation, which is not conducive to the later rule.

Second, although the Han court center has almost lost control at this time, it still has the name of the place.At that time, once Liu Yan participated in the war and opened up Hanzhong, one day, the imperial court issued an order, will Liu Yan accept it or not?Accepted, isn't it that all these years of dedication have completely made a wedding dress for someone else?But if you don't accept it, wouldn't you push yourself to the cusp of the storm, turn from darkness to light, and lose the strategic purpose of keeping a low profile and developing.

Therefore, this time Liu Zhang didn't even use his own forces at all, but used the illusion that Dong Zhuo's old troops retreated in a panic after getting rid of Dong Zhuo, and had to seize the illusion of Hanzhong.As long as the time comes to win Hanzhong, make a sign and show a gesture of surrender.

Generally speaking, the imperial court would only take a pacifying gesture towards this phenomenon, and would never rashly send someone to take over political affairs, so as not to intensify conflicts and cause turmoil.The details of this are the subtleties of the changes in people's hearts.

Just like for our own people, it is only natural to ask for anything.If you don't cooperate, you will be treasonous.Naturally, countless people will stand up and carry out all kinds of blows from a righteous height.

However, for an unstable force, it is more about how to appease them in advance and maintain a relatively stable political environment.Then, in this situation, there will be a lot less intervention.There may even be a secret order to instruct Liu Yan, who is on the side, to secretly monitor Hanzhong.

In this way, Liu Yan's position can be more stable, and he can be independent and develop with peace of mind.Only in this way is it in line with Liu Zhang's current strategic intentions.

At that time, when all the places in the north are in chaos, Liu Zhang will be able to free up his hands, take advantage of the trend, and include the land of Wuyue in his hands, and then covet the land of Jingxiang.

After these places have developed for a few years and accumulated enough national strength, it happens that the chaos in the north is almost settled.At that time, while the country is rich and the people are strong, while a thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity, as long as you find any justification, you can move your army and sweep the world with thunderous momentum.

These overall plans were determined by Liu Zhang as early as the beginning of the layout of the world. How could he completely expose himself for the sake of a mere Zhang Lu, so as to attract the attention of the princes and turn against him?

Therefore, Liu Zhang could only smile wryly at Zhang Xiu's suggestion, and comfort him first, and let him go down to rest.He only said that he had his own reasons, and Zhang Xiu left angrily.

Liu Zhang sent Zhang Xiu out, sighed lightly, and felt depressed.Looking back at Jia Xu, who still looks like an old god, she couldn't help frowning slightly.

He always felt that Jia Xu had some thoughts in his heart, but he just refused to say it.He was not sure whether this was the unique virtue of ancient counselors, or Jia Xu had other thoughts.After getting along with Jia Xu for so many days, it was the first time that he felt that it was difficult for him to see through him. This made him cautious, and he had some doubts, so he kept suppressing it, and wanted to wait for Jia Xu to speak out.This is a temptation, but also a kind of respect.After all, this Jia Xu's thoughts are completely different from those of other people who have made great achievements. [

Xu Shi noticed Liu Zhang's gaze, Jia Xu's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, glanced at Liu Zhang, stood up suddenly, and said calmly: "My lord, if you are interested, how about walking up the mountain?"

Liu Zhang was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help feeling a little excited.The terrain here is complex, surrounded by hills and high hills.After the day came, the two of them had already surveyed the surrounding terrain.

Today, Jia Xu suddenly took the initiative to invite her, presumably she finally wanted to say something.The two left the camp, but Jia Xu turned the horse's head and headed towards the south, Liu Zhang's heart moved, and he urged the horse to follow.
