"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, if you don't listen to me, you will lead your troops to Xianyang, but you are afraid that an unexpected disaster will not be far away!" Tan Feng looked at the map, his fingers slowly slid from the south to near Xianyang, shook his head, and sighed. He just got the news that Zhou Yu had raised tens of thousands of southern border troops and rushed to Xianyang.

Sima Yan was a little surprised. Why was Tan Feng so sure that Zhou Yu would definitely fail near Xianyang? Judging from the strength on paper, Zhou Yu went to Xianyang north and fought with the Xianyang army. His strength was not at a disadvantage. The 50,000 southern border troops led by Zhou Yu were the old foundation left by Meng Tian's era, and his combat effectiveness was extraordinary. Zhou Yu himself was an experienced general. As early as the Yan Dynasty, he was a famous general in various countries. Xianyang had 30,000 Xuanyiwei, and

After Zhou Yu gathered together, the elite combat power reached 80,000, and some of the king-supervised guards rushed over from other places. In terms of quantity alone, the Qin King's troops had exceeded Lu Chao, not to mention that the Qin King still had an advantage over righteousness. When Lu Chao was really at the gate of the city, as long as the Qin King showed up, it was hard to say that the soldiers and horses under Lu Chao would be solid. Besides, although Bai Qi was now entangled in Nanyang County, Nanyang's giant bandit Pi Zhiqiu was just a small one before.

Although the guard generals gathered tens of thousands of people under their command, most of them were mud legs that had just put down their hoes and had no combat experience. They were okay to deal with those local guards. If they really encountered Bai Qi's new army, they had no chance of winning. They were only the Wen Yi troops who rushed out of Shu County. Although this rebel army had only more than 10,000 people, they were trained soldiers. Now it is almost certain that this army is inseparable from the Han Dynasty. Their combat methods lead

With a strong Han army style. Despite this, as long as Bai Qi defeated Pi Zhiqiu, Wen Yi's army would not be able to stop Bai Qi from returning to Xianyang. After all, Sima Yan still felt that Lu Chao's chances of winning were not high. Although Lu Chao had tens of thousands of soldiers, at best he could take to Xianyang to at most no more than 80,000 people. After all, Hangu Pass was his old nest, and he would leave enough people to guard him. If the Han army took the opportunity, he would have no place to cry.

He said the doubts in his heart to Tan Feng, and Tan Feng shook his head and said, "If you don't understand Lu Chao, this person will never be so brainless. Can we think of what you said, Lu Chao would not have imagined? But since that's the case, why did he still attack Xianyang alone? If he was not sure, he was guarding his Hangu Pass and being his mountain king, what would Xianyang do to him?"

"Why is Lu Chao sure to take Xianyang? Even if Zhou Yu doesn't go, Xianyang City, which has 30,000 Xuanyi Guards, is not as solid as a god, but can be called indestructible. Thirty years ago, hundreds of thousands of troops of the Six-Nation Alliance besieged Xianyang, and was dragged to the thick winter season by our Daqin to break it in one go." Sima Yan couldn't figure out this joint.

"This is also the question I have been thinking about. Lu Chao dares to do this. Then he must be sure. The only thing I can think of is that he has a strong helper in Xianyang City, and this person can turn the situation around Lu Chao." Tan Feng frowned and said, "But I just can't think of who this person would be?"

Sima Yan took a deep breath: "If we can turn the situation around in one fell swoop, this person must hold great power. The most likely one is military power. Is it the person from Xuanyiwei? Or... the general. Do you think Zhou Yu would surrender to Lu Chao secretly? He just went to Xianyang under the banner of serving the king. In fact, he wanted to make a profit from Xianyang City?"

Hearing Sima Yan's words, Tan Feng laughed: "You really dare to think about it. It's impossible. Zhou Yu is not such a person. If he is indifferent and does not want to serve the king, the most beneficial thing for him is to stay in the south and even take advantage of this opportunity to win a piece of territory. Just like us, do you want to have the opportunity to be the master of your family, but instead run to hug Lu Chao's thigh?"

"You said, if this is the case, General Zhou would be bad. General Tan, don't you persuade him anymore? It's still time. Since you and General Zhou have an old friendship, if General Zhou can be safeguarded, it will be a helping hand to us in the future." Sima Yan said.

"Do you think I don't want it? But Zhou Yu, since I killed Ji Ling, we have cut off our robe and righteousness. The friendship between us has come to an end. This time I sent him this letter, just to talk about human affairs, and he will not listen to me. Forget it, life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in heaven. He is not a child, he has his own ideas, so we should do our own things." Tan Feng still felt a little regretful when he remembered this.

He has been arrogant all his life and not many people can look down on him. If it is really said, there are only two people. One is Gao Yuan, who has now become the founding lord of the Han Dynasty, and the other is Zhou Yu, who has worked with him for many years. But now these two friends, one has become his mortal enemies, and the other has parted ways with him. Even if they are not enemies, they are almost never interacting with each other.

Whenever he thought of this, Tan Feng sighed, or the heroes had no friends. Back then, he could save Gao Yuan, but he didn't go to save him. He watched the fire burn in Jicheng. Later, Gao Yuan escaped and turned against the court. His power became increasingly powerful. He could only try his best to deal with him. In the end, during the repeated confrontations, the hatred between the two could no longer be resolved. In the end, he lost himself, like a dog with a broken family, fled from Yan State. And Zhou

What about Yu? He had to kill Ji Ling back then. If he didn't kill him, he and Zhou Yu would be like Meng Tian, ​​and they would go to the underground tomb with King Wulie of Qin. King Wulie of Qin was not Ying Ying, he was a ruthless and extremely decisive master. He knew that Zhou Yu would not do this, so he did it alone, but because of this, Zhou Yu would never forgive him again. As for this matter alone, Tan Feng felt that he did not owe Zhou Yu.

A real man should not be powerless for a day. If he did not kill Ji Ling, even if King Wulie of Qin did not kill him and Zhou Yu, he would be afraid that they would have to stay idle. How could the glory of today come from? How could they be entrusted by King Wulie of Qin before his death? How could half of Meng Tian’s twenty-strong army fall into the hands of both of them?

Although he has talents, he is too pedantic and dare not make decisions when things happen. He looks forward to the front and back. This is Zhou Yu. This time he goes to Xianyang. Even if he is lucky enough to live, he is afraid that there will be no good ending.

Putting aside these distracting thoughts in his heart, Tan Feng pulled his thoughts back to his side. Now he could only do his best. Tai'an was easily taken down, giving him the capital to advance and attack and defend. However, Wulong, one of the targets, had no sign of collapse yet, which surprised him quite. There were some local guards guarding Wulong County. Yin Cuo brought more than 10,000 elite troops, but he had not taken them yet, which made him quite annoyed.

We must take down these two places as soon as possible so that we can have time to consolidate our rule in these two places, and then wait and see the dispute between Xianyang and Hangu Pass to decide our next move. If Wulong is unstable, we will inevitably be reeling.

"Yin Cuo is really incompetent." Tan Feng was so angry that he felt a little itchy.

"General, it's not a big mistake for General Yin. Gongsun Kang, the governor of Wulong County, said that he was Lu Chao's brother-in-law. Lu Chao was going to raise a lot of preparations. Judging from the situation reported by General Yin, over the years, Lu Chao has been afraid that Lu Chao has also quietly given him a lot of assistance. There are many gunpowder weapons in Wulong City, and all kinds of heavy weapons are available. Moreover, the commander of the battle is not a local general. General Yin has discovered that the person who commands the battle in Wulong City is now called Zou Peng. This person is a powerful general under Lu Chao. Wulong has long been prepared to raise an army to respond to Lu Chao, but we have to take Wulong and we have met them." Sima Yan explained for Yin Cuo.

"Although that's the case, it's time to take it down. Even if Zou Peng is a lion, his soldiers are just a group of sheep. Sima Yan and Tai'an will be handed over to you. Summit the place as soon as possible. If you should pull it, you should kill it. There is only one left and right. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. I don't have time to talk with them now. It's better to speak with a knife."

"General, do you want to go to Wulong in person?" Sima Yan said.

Tan Feng nodded: "Well, I led my troops there, Tai'an's resistance has basically been wiped out, and you will be left with 5,000 people to move. I will take all the rest to Wulong."

"Yes, General, don't worry, I will calm Tai'an down and resume production in the shortest time, so that I will not miss the autumn harvest. This is related to our next plan!" Sima Yan grinned.

In Wulong County City, Yin Cuo's eyes were red and he stared at the towering Wulong County City not far away. He had been attacking Wulong for almost ten days, but Wulong was still towering. Yin Cuo never expected that Wulong, who had only thousands of guards, would become his obstacle.

Another group of siege teams rushed up in the rumbling drums. Countless siege cars, cloud ladders, Mengchong cars, and pounding wood, approached the city wall. Above the city wall, a general wearing a red cloak stood tall. On the city wall, countless crossbows shot crossbow arrows at the soldiers under the city, and three defensive nets in the distance made Yin Cuo's soldiers pay the price of bleeding every step forward.

And Yin Chou could tolerate these things, and what he was most unacceptable to was that whenever his attack on the car city, ladders and other places approached the city wall, the soldiers would throw gunpowder weapons on the top of the city, ceramic grenades and explosives packs under the city made loud noises. After the smoke of gunpowder, his siege car would turn into nothing. Zou Peng on the city knew very well that as long as his people climbed the city wall and started hand-to-hand combat, the city of Wulong County was broken, and the guards would never have the courage to fight head-on with their troops. Both sides knew this, but Yin Chou had no way to let his soldiers climb the city wall.
