Luochen often misses the modern life, convenient and comfortable, and most importantly, peace of mind. You can quietly study in the library for a whole day without worrying about anything. Now fate has thrown him into the ancient times, where the army is in chaos, the heroes are fighting for the deer, and it is highly underdeveloped (compared to modern times). It only gave him a strange skill, and he left without looking back. He can only rely on Own. Power, the power of life and death for countless people, seems to be in his hands all at once. Responsibility, he didn't even dare to think about it, and put it on his shoulders all at once. All this seems like a dream.

For the first time, he saw thousands of people slaughter each other bloodily with primitive weapons. He felt the cruelty of history and the horror of war. It was by no means as easy as in the TV series, but he had no choice. After this war, the soil outside the Tongguan city wall has turned dark red, a dark red stained with countless blood, and the surrounding area is full of corpses. Perhaps after countless years, archaeologists will be surprised to find piles of white bones here. Guanzhong has experienced countless wars. In each war, young and middle-aged people are recruited, food is collected, and a large number of barren fields are left uncultivated. After a war, wives were separated, families were broken, famine spread, and mourning spread all over the world... He walked out of the deep palace, galloped across the fields on horseback, and watched the tragic scenes with tears in his eyes.

Frequent and brutal wars and power struggles have turned this fertile land into a **** on earth.

"It's time to stop, it's time to find a way to let the people live a good life." Luo Chen said to himself.

Chapter 12 Hanzhong

Luo Chen was thinking about it, when Ma Chao had already walked up to the tower: "Please, lord, give me an order immediately and allow me to lead the cavalry to pursue. I can't just let them go away comfortably." Luo Chen came back to his senses and nodded.

The gates of Tongguan City rumbled open, and Ma Chao rushed out in the lead, chasing in the direction of Cao's retreat, followed by 10,000 cavalrymen behind him, raising a large cloud of smoke.

Luochen saw a red-robed general blocking his way. Thinking about it, this general was the one who quickly blocked Yan Qing's short arrow in the Battle of Xingyang, and Luo Chen also praised him as a good general.

Ma Chao didn't even talk, he swung the silver spear and stabbed. The general held a knife to block it. Ma Chaoyue became impatient, and simply resorted to a fierce move. He held the gun and slammed the red-robed general's broadsword. With the help of the elasticity, the long spear shook and stabbed the general's heart. This move was really powerful, and the general was shocked. Seeing that the spear stabbed, his knife had no time to block it, so he simply fell off his horse. Ma Chao used all his strength and fluttered in the air, his body unsteady. The general Qiu seized the opportunity and slashed with a knife. Ma Chao was not a vegetarian and immediately flashed past. Unexpectedly, the knife slashed the horse's head, the horse screamed, and Ma Chao fell down. The two sides dismounted to fight on foot, and it was inconvenient to have long weapons in their hands, so they threw their spears and knives, and each held a sword to slash. Ma Chao is powerful, each sword is heavy, and his moves are deadly, and the general struggles to fight back. But this person is still good at blocking, and Ma Chao can hardly hurt him.

The soldiers on both sides were stunned when they saw the battle. Luochen descended the tower and came with Yan Qing to beat the horse. When the general saw the rescue, he didn't want to fight, jumped out of the circle at the opportunity, and quickly jumped on the horse.

Ma Chao is on his horse, and the two sides are waiting to fight again. Luo Chen said: "General Hongpao leave a name."

The general said: "Cao Hong!" Yan Bi saw that Cao Jun had already gone far, and he slowly stepped back on his horse, as if he wanted to leave the battlefield.

Ma Chao was about to chase, but Luochen stopped him: "Two tigers fight, I'm afraid one of them will be injured, so let's forget it." He shouted to the general: "I see the general as a good general, and for the general's face, I will not pursue it, general. Please come back, I promise not to chase ¨¨." Hearing this, the general led his light ride away.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao compete, and the Guanzhong area will usher in a long period of tranquility. As long as the enemy is kept out of Tongguan, the Guanzhong area can develop in peace. Now the population of Guanzhong is quite large and the land is fertile. However, due to the shortage of soldiers every year, the people are displaced and the land is largely deserted. Just organize them...

Luo Chen thought about these situations in his mind, wondering if there is a good land system that fits the situation. Yan Qing said from the side: "General Ma Dai is here."

"Oh? Let him come over." Luo Chen said. Ma Dai does not wear a cloak, but has a thick coat and armor, and has a machete, quite in the style of Western Liang.

"What happened to Lu Bu? Is there any movement in Xiahou Yuan?" Luo Chen asked.

"No." Ma Dai was rather annoyed. "This Xiahou Yuan is very difficult to deal with. Our army defends the city and the pass when we attack. Our army comes to harass us when we are resting. This month, our army cannot advance half a step." Ma Dai said, clenching his fists. "Now General Lu heard that Yuan Shao attacked Cao Cao, Cao Cao retreated, and wanted to ask the general to send us more troops, so he asked me to come..."

"Of course, of course, that's natural." Luo Chen nodded. "Cao Cao's entire brigade is currently in a head-on conflict with the mighty Yuan Shao, and he still refuses to transfer Xiahou Yuan back, which shows how determined Cao Cao is. He is determined to condense my forces around Guanzhong. It's a pity that Zhang Lu, an ally of his, does not How powerful, not as powerful as Yuan Shao, otherwise we would be finished long ago." Luo Chen laughed.

"Ma Teng! Appoint you as General Zhengdong. You lead 20,000 troops and are stationed in Tongguan and Hanguguan."

"Yes!" Ma Teng replied immediately.

"General Ma Teng can be on his own, and it was not a problem to lead a hundred thousand troops. However, now our army is short of strength, so I have to aggrieve the general... The general is here to set up his own fields. I grant you the power to appoint and dismiss officials and collect taxes. There are a large number of surrounding areas. The land is also configured by you." Luo Chen said.

"Thank you, Lord! Your subordinates will never give up."

"Pound! You stay here with General Ma Teng." "Yes." Pound replied calmly with a gloomy face.

"Ma Chao! The remaining 50,000 horses in the local area are under your command. You immediately set off for Hanzhong."

"Yan Qing! The Royal Forest Army's five thousand iron cavalry, you take it with you and go with me to Hanzhong in person!"

"Lin Chong leads the headquarter president An to guard."

Allocated. Luochen did not stop, and he led the army to Hanzhong on the same day.

During the march, Luo Chen was thinking about it in his head. Strong national strength requires institutional guarantees. He recalled the system of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, by the way, the land-equalization system! Now that there is a lot of abandoned land, the most important thing is to organize farmers and restore farming, which is the foundation of the country. At that time, the source of troops can also be guaranteed, and the government military system of the Tang Dynasty can be implemented, without the need for the state to pay, and a large number of troops can be mobilized in wartime.

The Luochen army quickly headed south from Chang'an, exited the Meridian Valley, and arrived at the Han River. Lü Bu had already occupied the fortress beside the Han River. Now the enemy is clinging to Hanzhong and Dingjunshan area, very tenacious. Luochen and Lu Bu joined forces, and with Lu Bu expanding his army along the way, the fallen army's strength increased to more than 100,000. Xiahou Yuan, who defended Dingjun Mountain, had nearly 40,000 troops, while the army in Hanzhong City was nearly 50,000. The strength of the two sides is roughly equal, but Zhang Lu's army is unscrupulous and has no fighting spirit. Hanzhong City will be taken down several times, and it is entirely dependent on Xiahou Yuan's attack.

Luochen rode to check the terrain. Dingjun Mountain was the place where Xiahou Yuan died unexpectedly, but Huang Zhong, who killed him, seems to be still serving as a puppy in a certain county in Jingzhou. Dingjun Mountain is the commanding height of the local area. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is definitely not easy.

Luochen returned to the tent and called everyone together.

".'My lord, I'm incompetent, I can't complete the task of the main bus." Lu Bu said ashamed.

Luochen waved his hand: "It's not your problem, the main reason is that there are too few troops. You can attack more with less, and you can't be beaten. It's already very good to push the enemy (Zhao of Qian) into the corner. Now Dingjunshan and Hanzhong are mutual. Relying on and supporting each other, the attacking party and the other party will inevitably rush out to attack you, which is naturally difficult.”

"What now?" Ma Chao asked.

"Without him, it's just division of troops." Luochen chuckled, "This thing is nothing complicated. Since the enemies are cooperating with each other, we can only solve the problem by division. And it can't be biased."

"General Lu, do you think Xiahou Yuan is very annoying?" Luo Chen asked with a smile.

"Yes, Lu Bu clenched his fists."

"Okay then, divide your army of 50,000 troops and go down to Dingjun Mountain. Whether you are attacking or defending, you just need to hold him back, so that he can't help Hanzhong City even half a step."

"Ma Chao! You have 50,000 troops, and you will attack Hanzhong City tomorrow. Be sure to break the city!"

"Yes!" The two were quite confident and immediately went to prepare. .

Chapter 13 Break the City

"I heard that the fallen soldiers and horses are advancing into Hanzhong?" Cao Cao met the messenger sent by Xiahou Yuan in the mansion.

"Exactly, according to the report of our military intelligence personnel, the fallen army has 50,000 reinforcements, plus Lu Bu's strength, the total strength has reached 100,000. In this way, its strength has surpassed the defenders in Hanzhong area that can resist." The messenger was worried. , "General Xiahou requested an increase in troops, otherwise Hanzhong would be in danger."

Guo Jia next to him sighed: "General Xiahou's opinion is certainly good, the whole brigade of fallen troops arrived in Hanzhong, the generals are like clouds, and the morale is strong, only need to divide the troops, and it is easy to capture Hanzhong. General Xiahou is weak and weak, and it is difficult Keep it. It's just the current situation..."

Cao Cao threw the scroll in his hand irritably and stood up: "Now Yuan Shao's army is so powerful that I can't even protect Xuchang, how can I care about Hanzhong! We can't stop this falling dust from expanding its power! I have no soldiers to increase. Ah, there's even a lack of troops..."

"Then how do I reply to General Xiahou?" the envoy asked.

"Tell Xiahou Yuan to try his best to hold on. If he can't hold it, he will lead his army back in time, and take the safety of himself and our Cao soldiers as the most important thing. This degree must be grasped, especially if he himself must come back safely... Cao Ren died in the last battle and suffered damage. My right arm..."

090

"Yes." The messenger took the order to go out and straddle the horse.

The fallout's general attack has already begun.

Ma Chao's army and horses first violently fired arrows under the city, and most of the men and horses on the city were lost and fled in all directions. The fallen army ladder was erected and began to climb the city. The soldiers in the city of Hanzhong were cowardly and could only do limited resistance. The city was very dangerous.

"Quick! Let go of the white smoke and call for help! Ask General Xiahou to help!" Zhang Lu said in a panic.

Xiahou Yuan's mood was very complicated at this time. He led 50,000 Cao troops to settle in Hanzhong. He originally wanted to control Hanzhong and encircle Guanzhong with the main Cao army who had crossed Tongguan, and capture Luochen alive. However, it has fallen to the point of being alone on a mountain, and today, Hanzhong really can't keep it...

But he still carried his sword and mounted the horse, and the 40,000 Cao Cao cavalrymen behind him also prepared. "Let's go!" Xiahou Yuan gave an order and rushed down the mountain first, preparing to attack the siege team from the side as usual, causing them to be damaged and forced to stop the siege.

Lu Bu blocked his way with Fang Tianhua halberd.

"Xiahouyuan! I want to fight with you, but you hide, and when I attack the city, I come to poke my **** again. You are so abominable! (bafa) What do you do this time! If you want to rescue Hanzhong City, there is no way!"
