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

Due to communication problems, when Cao Cao and Guo Jia discussed Liu Zhang's route to march, Liu Zhang had already led the army on the journey.

Wu Yi, who was ordered to be stationed in Wudu County, did not choose to control all the counties in Wudu County. Due to the problem of military strength, he only divided his troops into Xiabian and Juxian counties.

Xiabian is the prefecture of Wudu County, and it is also a must-pass on the Qishan Road. In order to be safe, Wu Yi chose to stay in Xiabian himself to provide a strong guarantee for Liu Zhang's army's food and grass transfer.

With Wu Yi and a horse stationed in Xiabian, Liu Zhang no longer has to worry about the future, and has already led an army into Liangzhou.

Completely different from what Liu Zhang and others had expected, after entering Hanyang County, they did not encounter any resistance.

Naturally, Liu Zhang would not let go of this great opportunity, and immediately urged the whole army to rush forward, pointing directly at Xixian, the first strong city on the border between Hanyang County and Wudu.

The city of Xi County is not considered tall, and the terrain is quite satisfactory, but he is guarding the edge of Hanyang County, and he must control it in his own hands no matter what.

After breaking through Xixian County, the entire Qishan Road was completely opened, and Liu Zhang could lead his army directly to Jixian County, the seat of Hanyang County.

As long as Ji County is successfully captured, it means that the Northern Expedition to Liangzhou has gained a firm foothold.

After that, Hanyang County can be used as the foundation to gradually erode the land of Liangzhou.

Facts have proved that Han Sui did not choose to sit and wait for death. Xixian left a garrison and completely refused to surrender to Liu Zhang.

"Generals, Xi County is our first battle in the north, and we must win this battle!"

"Who dares to lead the army and show off our Yizhou military prestige?"

As soon as Liu Zhang said this, it immediately aroused a huge response.

Except for Tai Shici from Wufeng camp and Huang Zhong from Wushe camp, the rest of the generals rushed to ask for orders first.

"My lord, the final general is willing to go!"

"My lord, Wubuying has been sharpening swords for several years, and I can't wait!"

"My lord, the Hanxing camp has been battle-tested for a long time, and the end will be determined by the first battle!"

"My lord, I'll go!"

"My lord..."

All the generals were arguing for a while, almost begging Liu Zhang to send him to go.

Faced with this situation, Liu Zhang couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly while being pleasantly surprised.

Five years of silence, it seems that some people are too uncomfortable to hold back!

"Okay, okay! Xi County is just a small town, there is no need to fight like this."

Liu Zhang scanned the crowd, and finally set his sights on the three barbarians.

"Zhu Meng, dare to lead the barbarian army to take Xi County?"

Zhu Meng was immediately overjoyed, he was the one who yelled the loudest just now.

"Dare! Why don't you dare! The lord will be later again, and the last general will go and return!"

Thirty thousand barbarians quickly dispatched, and soon surrounded Xixian.

With the sound of drums and trumpets, a general attack on Xi County was immediately launched.

The three of Zhu Meng are really newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers. They even took the lead and were the first to climb the ladder.

Fortunately, Xi County's defense force is not very strong, except for some scattered bows and arrows to fight back, there is no special means.

Under the onslaught of 30,000 barbarians, only half an hour later, the offensive and defensive battle of Xi County came to an end.

According to the final battle damage statistics, 1,000 enemy defenders were wiped out, and more than 200 barbarians were lost by our side.

At an extremely low price, Liu Zhang successfully won the first battle into Liangzhou.

The first battle with Han Sui was won so easily, the gate of Liangzhou was pried open with the loss of 200 people!

When Liu Zhang heard the number of enemy defenders, he even doubted his own ears.

"Could it be that Han Sui is crazy? Even if Xi County is not suitable for defense, he wouldn't leave a thousand people here to die?"

The four think tanks also frowned slightly, as if they were somewhat unexpected about this result.

"My lord, maybe Han Sui thinks that Xi County is not conducive to defense, so maybe he is planning to defend in Ji County."

Now that he has just entered Liangzhou, even if Han Sui has any conspiracy, it is difficult to see. After thinking about it, Xun You can only give Liu Zhang this explanation.

"Gongda, if there are 5,000 troops defending Xi County, I'm afraid they won't be able to take it down in a few days, right?"

Liu Zhang took a closer look at the city wall of Xixian County. Although it is not particularly tall, it must meet the standard of a normal city wall.

Right now, our own side has no siege equipment, and all rely on rows of ladders.

As long as Xi County is properly guarded, Liu Zhang will never be able to take Xi County without paying the price of thousands of people.

This is also the reason why Liu Zhang first sent Zhu Meng to fight.

"My lord, let's go to Ji County as soon as possible. After taking Ji County, we can completely control Hanyang County. Even if Han Sui has any conspiracy, we can deal with it calmly."

Xun You and others are wise men, not gods, and Liu Zhang can't ask them to see through everything as soon as they step into the land of Liangzhou.

"It's evil, leave a thousand military guards to guard Xixian County, and the rest of the troops will all go to Xixian County."

"Obey!"

Liu Zhang's only solution is to choose to play steadily and take a step forward.

After stabilizing his footsteps in Hanyang County, he used his strength to overcome the ingenuity. No matter what conspiracy Han Sui has, it can be shattered.

Five days later, Liu Zhang led his army to the city of Ji County. After some persuasion, the defenders refused to surrender.

Jixian County is different from Xixian County. As the seat of Hanyang County, Jixian County has a tall city, which is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Liu Zhang made a prompt decision and dispatched Zhu Meng and three men to lead 30,000 barbarians and Zhang Liao's Hanxing camp to surround the city. He also arranged for Huang Zhong to divide the Wushe camp into four to help suppress the firepower at the top of the city and prepare for a tough battle.

The Yizhou army was extremely powerful, and the shouts of killing shook the sky and the earth, and the city walls of Ji County seemed to be trembling slightly.

Everything was completely beyond Liu Zhang's expectations. The fierce bloody battle did not occur. In just a quarter of an hour, the 40,000 troops who besieged the city wall poured into the city. It didn't take long for the four gates of Ji County to be opened.

With the influx of tens of thousands of troops into Jixian County, the offensive and defensive battle of the government has come to an end, and the speed is even faster than the capture of Xixian County!

"We don't want Xi County, and we don't want Ji County either. Is it possible that Han Sui is going to give up the whole Hanyang County?"

Liu Zhang really couldn't understand Han Sui's intentions. Hanyang County is the link between Anding County and Longxi County. If Hanyang County was given up so easily, doesn't that mean that Anding County also completely gave up?

Han Sui originally only had four counties, so it was equivalent to cutting off his own arm!

Once the Yizhou army cannot be stopped in Longxi County, they can only retreat to Jincheng County. But even Longxi County can't stop it. Could it be that Jincheng County can stop it?

It was so weird. In Liu Zhang's impression, Han Sui was definitely not someone who would just sit and wait for death, let alone be cowardly before fighting and extremely compress his living space.

"My lord, could it be that Han Sui and Ma Teng fought too hard, resulting in a small number of soldiers, not enough to guard against Hanyang County?"

This situation has exceeded everyone's expectations, and Xun You can only guess that Han Sui gave up the state and county because of military strength.

Liu Zhang shook his head lightly, he didn't believe it was so simple.

"As far as I know, Han Sui still has at least 50,000 viable troops. If he goes to borrow troops from the Qiang people, it's estimated to be no less than 100,000!"

"Even if there are only 50,000 troops, as long as they are stationed in Ji County and defended to the death, it will cause us a lot of trouble."
