At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Hanzhong County, Chenggu County.

This is the easternmost side of the Hanzhong Basin after Liu Zhang abandoned Dongsan County, and it is also the bridgehead of the enemy who guards the Han River.

As long as Chenggu County is not lost, the enemy's food roads cannot be guaranteed, and unless Chenggu is surrounded, its existence cannot be ignored.

It's a pity that this fortified city is no longer owned by Liu Zhang!

"Haha, General Zhang's miraculous soldiers descended from the sky and took down the city in one fell swoop. Hanzhong is not far from changing hands!"

The person standing in the city looking up to the sky and laughing was none other than Cai Zhong, a son of the Cai family, one of the four major families under Liu Biao’s command. The General Zhang that Cai Zhong was talking about was the general who went up the Han River this time, the nephew of Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou. , Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun's face was also filled with complacency, and he did not expect that Chenggu's defense was useless.

"It is said that Liu Zhang is brilliant and invincible! According to this general, it is not worth mentioning at all! Abandoning Dongsan County is his biggest failure!"

In Zhang Yun's view, if Dongsan County exists, Hanzhong will never be defenseless, and the city is so dangerous that it will not be easily lost.

"General Zhang, I heard that there are 200,000 troops outside Yangping Pass and in the direction of Guanzhong, rushing to attack. We must act quickly, and we must not let them take the lead!"

Cai Zhong's words were right on Zhang Yun's mind. They were just partial divisions whose purpose was to contain the defenders of Hanzhong, but no one thought that their partial divisions would be the first to break into the hinterland of Hanzhong!

"General Cai, Nanzheng is in front of Chenggu. As long as we take Nanzheng, we will immediately ask the lord for reinforcements! This land of Hanzhong will belong to our Jingzhou from now on!"

"What General Zhang said is true! After taking Hanzhong, we can go south to Guanghan County, and then we will cooperate with my elder brother and directly take the land of Yizhou!"

Zhang and Cai Er will become more and more excited when they think about it. This is not only a good opportunity to win Yizhou, but also a great opportunity for Zhang Yun and Cai Zhong to become famous all over the world!

If luck is better and Liu Zhang is captured alive by the two, it will be tantamount to making a great achievement!

At that time, who in the world will not know that there are two peerless generals in Jingzhou!

Zhang Yun! Cai Zhong!

Even Yuan Shao would look at the two with admiration and personally reward them.

"General Cai, there is no need to delay, we cannot give Nanzheng time to react!"

In Zhang Yun's mind, Nanzheng must be no different from Chenggu. When the army arrives, they will definitely surrender the city, so he can't wait any longer.

"General Zhang, give your order, the last general will obey!"

Cai Zhong was so convinced that Zhang Yun was overjoyed. Although he was the nephew of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, his status was far inferior to that of Cai Zhong, a son of the Cai family.

Fortunately, the two have similar temperaments, and there has never been any conflict since they sent troops together.

"Okay! Then we will leave 500 people to guard the city, and all the rest of the soldiers will attack Nanzheng with you and me!"

"Obey!"

Zhang Yun and Cai Zhong moved very quickly, and in less than half an hour, they were all ready.

After leaving behind the oldest and weakest 500 people, Zhang Yun and his two led the remaining 9,000 people and hurried forward to Nanzheng without stopping.

Because they were sailing against the current, the closer they got to Hanzhong, the more turbulent the current would be. Therefore, Zhang Yun and his two could only leave the boat in Chenggu and lead the water army to Nanzheng by land.

Chenggu County is only 70 miles away from Nanzheng County. If they march by force, it will take no more than two hours at most. That is, today, Zhang Yun and Cai Zhong will be able to reach the city of Nanzheng!

"General Zhang, how do you think the lord will reward us?"

The city wall of Nanzheng loomed in his eyes, and Cai Zhong couldn't wait to miss the reward afterwards.

"General Cai is so brave in this battle, my lord will definitely confer you the post of prefect of Hanzhong!"

Hearing what Zhang Yun said, Cai Zhong's eyes straightened, his smile became more greedy, and he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

"Hahaha, thank you General Zhang! Thank you General Zhang!"

Zhang Yun's face was full of joy, but his heart was sad.

It stands to reason that Zhang Yun is the main general of this branch of Hanshui, and the post of prefect of Hanzhong should also fall on him!

It's a pity that the Cai family's hands and eyes are open to the sky, and no one in Jingzhou dares to disobey them, even Liu Biao has to be courteous.

Therefore, once Hanzhong is won, Cai Zhong must be the most proud.

"General Zhang, as long as I become the prefect of Hanzhong, I will definitely recommend the general to be the prefect of Guanghan! From now on, you and my brothers will watch over each other, so why worry about not having glory and wealth!"

Cai Zhong seemed to have seen Zhang Yun's inner thoughts, and hurriedly made a cake for him.

"Thank you General Cai!"

Regardless of whether Cai Zhong's words were true or not, Zhang Yun felt a lot of comfort in his heart.

If this can win Hanzhong County, no matter how stingy the Cai family is, they will definitely not treat Zhang Yun lightly, not to mention that Cai Mao also has a good relationship with Zhang Yun.

Not long after, Zhang and Cai finally led the army to the city of Nanzheng, and they were completely stunned by the scene before them.

There are no banners on the city wall of Nanzheng, no guards can be seen, and even the gates of the city have been opened!

"General Zhang, could it be that Nanzheng City has already been captured first?"

Except for this reason, Cai Zhong really couldn't think of the reason for the appearance of the scene in front of him.

Zhang Yun shook his head lightly, he didn't know why, but he knew it was definitely not what Cai Zhong said.

"Impossible! When I came here, Military Adviser Kuai had already said that although Yuan Shao contacted all parties to march together, only Yangping Pass would really have a strong enemy appear. As for the Tangluo Road and Ziwu Road of Li Jue and Guo Si, Da Probability will only feint."

"You should have heard of Yangping Pass. Five years ago, Han Sui led an army of 100,000, but didn't he also fall at Yangping Pass?"

"I hope so..."

Cai Zhong could only pray in his heart, if Nanzheng City was captured by others, then his position as prefect of Hanzhong would be completely wiped out!

"General Zhang, are you going to the city?"

There is no point in guessing here, as long as you enter the city and take a look for yourself, you will be able to know the truth.

Zhang Yun couldn't help but smiled, Cai Zhong was too urgent, anxiety was already written on his face.

"Okay! Then I will follow General Cai to find out!"

Zhang Yun just turned his head and wanted to order the whole army to enter the city, but the scene in front of him shocked him again.

None of the nearly ten thousand soldiers was standing. They were all lying on the ground, panting heavily.

"You...you..."

The soldier lying on the ground struggled to get up, and looked at Zhang Yun with a begging face.

"General Zhang, after running for... two hours in a row, the soldiers... have exhausted all their physical strength, it's better... to rest for a while..."

Hearing the pleading voice of the soldiers, Zhang Yun suddenly realized this time.

This time I led all the navy troops, and they have been training on the ship on weekdays, so why did they travel such a long distance!

Jingzhou is extremely short of horses, and there is no cavalry system at all. If you're not a general in the army, don't even think about riding a mount!

Because he was so excited, Zhang Yun forgot that only he and Cai Zhong had horses in the entire army, and the rest were running after them.

"Quick, let the soldiers rest where they are!"

Zhang Yun couldn't help being afraid for a while, fortunately there was a shortage of major generals in Hanzhong, if a soldier suddenly killed at this time, wouldn't he be ready to be captured?
