Chapter 105: Going north and attacking Hanzhong

Mianyang is located in the southernmost part of Hanzhong County and is also the only way to enter Hanzhong from Guanghan County.

Now, a group of uninvited guests have come to a dense forest thirty miles away from Mianyang City.

At this moment, a man sat cross-legged under a dense giant tree, eating the dry and hard cakes in his hands.

Suddenly, the man clenched his right fist and thrust his chest hard. Seeing that it didn't work, he reached out to the person beside him for water.

The person next to him saw that he was choking, quickly picked up the water in front of him and handed it to him.

After taking the water, he drank it into his mouth. After a while, the man burped comfortably.

The man wiped the water stains on the corner of his mouth with his hands, then looked up at the sky, revealing the young man's face.

This person is Zhang Zhong, and Xu Gai is by his side.

There are dense crowds of people and horses nearby.

"Old Xu, looking at this sun, it will probably take two hours to get dark. Tell your brothers, have a good rest and hurry up as soon as the sky is dark."

Zhang Zhong stared at the sky, made up his mind, and said to Xu Gai.

Xu Gai ate the last piece of cake in his hand and replied vaguely: "Okay."

Then he stood up and left the big tree.

Looking at Xu Gai's back, Zhang Zhong narrowed his eyes and recalled the task Zhang Rui gave him.

A month ago, they took control of Zitong and then closed the entire city to prevent the people in the city from escaping.

In another day, Xu Gai led the remaining 7,000 people to outside Zitong City.

Even if you want to rebel, you cannot be the same as last time, with a slight start.

Therefore, Zhang Rui followed the advice of Zhang Shen and Du Shi to capture a city, not burn, kill and loot, but appointed county magistrates from various places to provide him with endless food and soldiers.

Their plan is like this: to take Guanghan County first, give their own foothold first, and then take advantage of the news of the rebellion that had not spread, send some people to sneak into Hanzhong County in advance, take down Nanzheng, and wait for subsequent reinforcements.

Taking down Hanzhong County will have two benefits for our side. First, it can provide troops and food.

The second is its geographical location. Hanzhong is located in the north by the Qinling Mountains, the Pingba Mountains in the south, and the Hanzhong Plain in the middle.

As long as Zhang Rui's side takes over this place, rely on the steep terrain here to guard against the Song army coming from Guanzhong to rescue Yizhou.

The Song army, who had been delayed in Guanzhong, fought for Zhang Rui to take down Shu County.

To this end, Zhang Rui asked Zhang Zhong and Xu Gai to lead three thousand cavalrymen, and used their speed to lie down at night.

Zhang Zhong and his party rested during the day, marched quickly at night, crossed mountains and ridges, and arrived near Mianyang.

Only one last step is left to Nanzheng.

In the blink of an eye, the sun sets and it is pitch black.

Zhang Zhong turned over his horse and ordered to the soldiers around him: "Go!"

Then he waved the horse whip in his hand and hit the butt of the war horse under his crotch. The war horse was in pain and carried Zhang Zhong forward and galloped forward.

When everyone saw Zhang Zhong set out first, they drove off their horses to chase after him.

Two hours later, Zhang Zhong led three thousand cavalrymen to cross Mianyang safely.

Then everyone rushed towards their last destination Nanzheng at full speed without hesitation.

...

At the same time, Zitong, hundreds of miles away, was staring at the letter in his hand in the study.

This was sent by Zhang Ji, and the letter was written like this. Except for the seven counties in the south, Guanghan County did not take it, but all four counties in the north were taken.

The reason why they did not move to the south was that the news of their rebellion had been spread, and the county magistrates of these counties were prepared.

If you attack strongly, although you can win, you will suffer heavy losses to your side.

For this reason, Zhang Ji had to be more cautious.

Putting down the letter in his hand, Zhang Rui stretched out his hands and rubbed his painful temples, and sighed deeply.

So what if it is difficult to fight? Now, before the reinforcements from the court arrive, capture a few more counties to prepare for the decisive battle in the future.

Zhang Rui picked up the pen in front of him, spread the snow-white paper, and lifted the pen and wrote.

He scolded Zhang Ji for delaying the fighter's opportunity, and then asked him to take over the seven counties in the south at any cost within half a month. If he couldn't take it, he would not come back.

In addition, Zhang Rui told him in the letter that a temporary reinforcement team of 5,000 people would be supported by him.

After writing, Zhang Rui packed the letter and called a confidant to send it to Zhang Ji overnight.

After doing all this, Zhang Rui got up and left the study room and walked towards Xiangfei Courtyard.

As he approached the door, Zhang Rui waved his hand to signal the maid to keep silent.

Then, through the crack in the door, I observed the situation in the inner room and saw two women laughing and laughing.

Looking at the smiles of the two of them, Zhang Rui smiled secretly in his heart.

Since the news of Zhang Rui's rebellion came to their ears, the two girls were shocked and angry.

No matter how Zhang Rui explained, they just didn't listen unless he gave up the idea of ​​rebellion.

How could this work? So from that day on, they no longer paid attention to Zhang Rui.

He didn't even give him a smile.

Zhang Rui pretended to be nothing, pushed open the door and walked in, and saw two girls on the bed with their backs facing him.

Just as Zhang Rui pushed the door open, the two girls heard it, so they covered themselves with bedding and pretended to go to bed.

Zhang Rui raised his mouth and sat by the bedside, stretched out his cold big hand into the bed.

Rulan's little feet were cold, but she could only hold it back and stop it.

But this was useless. Zhang Rui saw that it didn't work and touched it with his big hand.

Finally, Rulan couldn't help it anymore, stood up in a hatred, stretched out Yingying's snatching her feet, and kicked her hard at Zhang Rui's spacious chest.

Zhang Rui was kicked and smiled and said, "Yeah, aren't you asleep?"

He said to Minglan, who was pretending to be asleep, "Don't pretend, you can see the smiles on both of you outside the door."

Minglan stood up, snorted lightly, and turned her back to Zhang Rui.

Zhang Rui knew that she was still angry, so he took off her clothes, went to bed, forced her to hug them both, and said, "Okay, don't be angry, you have not talked to me for a month."

"I don't want to say it." Minglan retorted.

Rulan said, "Yes, I don't want to say it."

Zhang Rui chewed them with red lips and said, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it, let's have a baby!"

After saying that, he overwhelmed them both to have sex.

"It's so dirty, wash up quickly." Rulan smelled the smell of Zhang Rui's body and said disgustingly.

Then Minglan's voice sounded: "If you don't wash, don't touch us both."

"Okay, I'll wash it now."

Zhang Rui smiled and got up from them, got out of bed and washed alone.
