Chapter 863 Princes arrive at Fangling

Finally, Zhang Ji spoke, "Let's reveal what happened today. Wang Sima and Brother Ming, we have been in love for nearly twenty years now. If you want to say what's the embarrassment? It's embarrassing. You guys say yes, right?"

After hearing Zhang Ji's words, the three of them laughed loudly. In fact, that's the case. As for Yan Pu, he didn't laugh like the three of them, but he also looked at the three of them with a smile. He knew that these three were really old men in the Liangzhou army. They were in Dunhuang, and they followed their lords until now. So what happened to the relationship between the three of them? Although Yan Pu was later, he had been joining the Liangzhou army for many years after all, and he had been staying in Hanzhong, so he knew.

After that, the few people chatted for a while, and then Wang Kang and Pang Rou left. However, although Zhang Ji said that everything today had been revealed, to be honest, they were still not so embarrassed in their hearts. After all, if they compared them with Zhang Ji, they would be really a verdict. Their realm is not as good as others. Yes, they don’t know that both of them are veterans, and they don’t know that they both want to go to Fangling to be the guard general, but in the end they still let Wang Ping go.

What does this mean? It is because they think not for their own selfishness, but for the entire army, for Hanzhong, and for the lord. And when they look at the two of them, it is entirely for their own sake, so they really cannot be compared with Zhang Ji and Zhang Derong. They have a view of the overall situation, but what they have to say can only be said to be limited.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wang Kang and Pang Rou left, while Zhang Ji and Yan Pu personally sent them out to the prefect's mansion.

After seeing off Wang Kang and Pang Rou, Zhang Ji and Yan Pu returned to the living room of the prefect's mansion. Yan Pu obviously felt that Zhang Ji was relieved, and no wonder he was like this. After all, this has never happened before, so it was a test of Zhang Ji once.

Seeing that Yan Pu was watching him, Zhang Ji let go of his hang of heart, he said to Yan Pu. "Now it finally made Wang Kang and the other two feel at ease, and they also helped Mr. Qiu. Otherwise, I don't know how to be anxious!"

Yan Pu smiled when he heard this. "The prefect and the two generals had a relationship for nearly twenty years. Compared to the fact that they were not in the lower class, this matter would still be resolved successfully. After all, whether it was General Wang Kang or General Ming, they were not the kind of unreasonable person!"

If Yan Pu really thought so, he didn't do anything at all. So even if Hanzhong didn't have himself and was not here today, Zhang Ji would still handle today's affairs well, so that Wang Kang and Pang Rou could rest assured. If you don't say anything else, just talk about the friendship between the three, which is absolutely comparable.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After hearing Yan Pu's words, Zhang just nodded slightly, but he still said. "No matter what, I have to thank the gentleman today. Otherwise, it would be really not easy for Wang Kang and the other two to do this!"

After saying that, he smiled bitterly. After all, Wang Kang and Pang Rou have a temper. After so many years, Zhang Ji still doesn't know. So with Yan Pu here, they can restrain themselves a lot, but this is not wrong at all. So although Yan Pu didn't say anything, it seems that he didn't do anything, to be honest, as long as he sits there, it's better than anything. Can Zhang Ji still not know? Although Wang Kang and Pang Rou are veterans, they can't give Yan Pu face, which is even more correct.

When Yan Pu heard this, he just smiled and said nothing more. In fact, he knew in his heart that it was impossible to say anything he wanted to say. But he also knew that his role was only minimal. But Zhang Ji, the prefect said so, what else could he say, then that's it, that's it.

In fact, in Yan Pu's opinion, it is really unnecessary, because I have said too much about this, and there is really no need for that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wang Ping was fast all the way, and went straight to Fangling from Nanzheng, the capital of Hanzhong. For him, he didn't have to worry about anything else. As long as he guarded Fangling well, everything was nothing to say. And he knew in his heart that it was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as he performed well, why not worry about not being able to catch his lord's eyes?

To be honest, Wang Ping is from Yizhou, but he did not seek refuge in other counties in Yizhou, but came to Hanzhong. I have to say that there are some other ideas, or ambitions.

After all, although Wang Ping did not think that he was very capable, he was definitely not a mediocre person, nor an ordinary person, or at least had some skills. So if you ask him to surrender to those counties that don’t have much chance to go to war, he would definitely not, so he finally chose Hanzhong.

So why is it Hanzhong, not Sili or other places? This has to be said to be Wang Ping's plan. In his opinion, even if he directly surrenders to Ma Chao, it is probably impossible for him to be reused immediately. After all, as a powerful prince in the world, who knows who you, Wang Ping, is? At least Wang Ping did not think Ma Chao had heard of him. And he did not think he had any reputation, at least ordinary people had never heard of him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Therefore, for Wang Ping, instead of going directly to Ma Chao and not being valued, it would be better to find a place to join him. There is no Hanzhong in Hanzhong. Why do you say that? After Wang Ping came out of his hometown to study, he stayed in Hanzhong for the longest time. It should be said that he basically stayed in Hanzhong, and he also had a nickname. Most people definitely don’t know it, it’s called “Living Map”. Just listen to this nickname and know how much he knows about Hanzhong, so what else does he have to rely on Zhang Ji in Hanzhong?

So Wang Ping resolutely defected to Zhang Ji, Hanzhong, and worked under his tent. To be honest, Wang Ping thought clearly. With his own ability, as long as he really encountered a war, he would definitely be able to show off some of it, so he still worried that he would not be able to catch his lord's eyes?

What's more, Hanzhong's geographical location is destined to be peaceful forever. So it's right to be here. But if there is a little accident and there is no war in Hanzhong, I will be considered unlucky and I can only accept it. Isn't that just that? What else?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But in Wang Ping's eyes, the possibility of war is greater than that of war. After all, if there is no war in Hanzhong, a military center, there is no war. Then maybe the world may be in peace, but this will not be possible for a while.

The result was that he finally waited for the opportunity he had now. So he naturally cherished such an opportunity very much, and he also knew that the gains and losses of the city were no longer the most important to him. But for him, the most important thing was actually how to try his best to achieve his own level, so that the people of the world, his lord and his colleagues could take a good look at whether I, Wang Ping, were really capable or were a boastful person.

This is Wang Ping's idea. After all, if you want to make a name for yourself, in troubled times, you have to rely more on military merits, especially if you think you have good abilities. Even if you are in the Liangzhou army, you can make a name for yourself and have such a place.

So he really cherished the opportunity that Zhang Ji gave him. After all, there was not always such an opportunity. What he had always thought about finally came true.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wang Ping came to Fangling, of course, before Cao Cao's army arrived, he arrived first. It would be a big trouble if it was not too late. Fortunately, at least the information in Hanzhong was very fast, and Wang Ping's speed was faster. So he came here alone, so can he still be slower?

After arriving in Fangling, Wang Ping took the command to the county magistrate of Fangling with the handwritten command written by Zhang Ji, the prefect of Hanzhong, and handed it to Fangling's county magistrate, county magistrate and other people. He had known that Cao Cao was bringing the army, so now Fangling's guards would be replaced by General Wang Ping, who came from Nanzheng.

Fang Lingling said at this time, "The Fang Ling war is here, General Zijun is working hard!"

Wang Pingze bowed and said, "I will definitely do my best!"

To be honest, Wang Ping was not so arrogant, nor so arrogant. Moreover, he had heard about Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army, so he didn't expect to be able to defend Fangling at all. Although he was still somewhat confident, he definitely didn't have that much. But even so, he thought that he was causing some trouble for Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army, but there was still no problem.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At this time, when they heard what Wang Ping said, Fang Ling Order, Fang Ling County Magistrate, County Magistrate and others, they felt relieved when they saw Wang Ping's attitude. After all, no matter what, Wang Ping was sent by Zhang Ji, the prefect of Hanzhong. So they used common sense to infer that how did this Wang Ping come to General Wang Ping, Prince Jun, probably had a bad temper, and it was very likely that he would put on airs in front of him and others, but the few people were ready.

However, the facts were different from what they thought. Although they had never seen this Wang Ping, Prince Jun, General Wang, but just by looking at the person's words and behavior, they knew that they were not a person who was difficult to get along with, so they felt relieved. After all, if they deal with someone like that, it would be true, anyway, they wouldn't want this.

So at this time, Fang Lingling, as the representative, said to Wang Ping, "If Mr. Zijun says this, then we will feel much more at ease!"

To be honest, these people are pretty good. Although they wouldn't be loyal to Ma Chao and Liangzhou army, they would never easily surrender. They have to admit that in Hanzhong, Ma Chao, the nominal lord, did not manage Hanzhong much. Instead, Zhang Ji, he made great contributions to Hanzhong.

Therefore, for those county magistrates, county magistrates, and county magistrates, not everyone will be loyal to Ma Chao, the nominal lord. But for Zhang Ji's sake, basically no one will betray him easily, which is correct.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wang Ping heard Fang Lingling's words and smiled, "It is necessary to defend Fang Ling, but you must ask for help! And I believe that you will work together with someone. It will definitely make Cao Mengde's Yanzhou Army defeated. I wonder what you think?"

Wang Ping certainly could not say those things that might not be able to defend the city, so he must give everyone a firm and clear belief that Fang Ling could defend it. As for whether these people believe it or not, it is not something he said he could decide.

But one thing is certain, that is, if these people are not honest, Wang Ping will be clear in his heart. Then he will definitely have to have a lot of trouble, after all, it is indeed the same as he said. If he wants to defend Fangling well, then he will definitely need their help, which is certain.

After all, I am familiar with Fangling's city defense and defense power. Now I have just arrived. Although I have been here many times before, I have different identities after all, so the things I know are different. At least I still remember the terrain near Fangling, and where are there suitable places for ambushing, I know very clearly. But if I talk about other things, I really don't know much, so I have to rely on this group of people.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Fang Lingling and the others heard this, he quickly said, "Please rest assured that the general is. We will do our best to assist the general and not give the Yanzhou army an opportunity to take advantage of it!"

The other people also hurriedly echoed, "We won't give the Yanzhou Army an opportunity!"

Wang Ping nodded when he heard this. At least on the surface, it was pretty good. He was really satisfied. At this moment, he thought to himself, I hope you can do what you say and do it. If not, haha, don’t blame me for being ruthless!

Don’t look at Wang Ping, you usually feel that he may have a good temper, but in fact it is definitely not like this. He is definitely a tough person, but basically he will not show anything. Because there is no chance for him to perform, and under no circumstances is he needed to perform like this, so basically no one has seen how cruel he is. But what you have not seen does not mean that there is nothing, so...

If you don’t mess with Wang Ping, everything will be easy to say, but you will really force him to no avail. The consequences will be unimaginable.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that, everyone talked about the movements of Cao Cao's Yanzhou army and some other questions. The other main thing is Fang Ling Ling. The situation in Fang Ling now is, for example, how many people and horses are in Fang Ling, which are actually nearly 10,000 soldiers, of which 5,000 are soldiers of Liangzhou army. In addition, less than 5,000 soldiers are of course soldiers of the county and state.

It is logical that Fangling does not have so many soldiers. It is not because Cao Cao's army is in Xiangyang, so Zhang specially sent 3,000 Liangzhou soldiers here, so Fangling has more people to defend the city. But to be honest, Wang Ping still didn't think there were many of these people. After all, if we really want to say the number of people, then our side will definitely not have as many soldiers as Cao Mengde's Yanzhou. Of course, in the siege, the number of people on the defense side cannot determine anything, so...

Then for the city defense, the reserves are sufficient. After all, there has been no war in Hanzhong for many years, so many things such as rolling wood and stone have been stored. I was worried that I had no place to use it before, but now I don’t have to think about it, and it finally came in handy.

As for the final issue of food and grass, let alone Fangling's food and grass are enough, at least enough for nearly 10,000 soldiers and war horses in the city for two months. Maybe you don't think there are too many months, but Wang Ping firmly believes that Cao Cao and Mengde will never let the war go for two months. So he basically can't keep it for two months, so he probably will have to break through the city.

It’s not that Wang Ping has no confidence, or you say he lacks confidence, but that’s the truth. After all, it’s not an ordinary team, but the Yanzhou Army, which is famous all over the world. So this idea cannot be blamed for Wang Ping. Although Wang Ping has some skills, he is still a newcomer now, so it’s normal for him to do so.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After hearing the introductions of several people, Wang Ping asked some of the things he said he was concerned about. Then, under the leadership of everyone, he went to the top of Fangling City and inspected it carefully. Fangling was almost the same as what he thought, so Wang Ping was on the top of the city without any surprise.

After that, Wang Ping rested for a day, and then Cao Cao's Yanzhou army came outside Fangling City. The army was stationed, and Cao Cao still asked the soldiers to rest and then attacked the city.

In Cao Cao's central army tent, Cao Cao asked everyone at this time, "I wonder what do you know about Wang Ping, the garrison of Fangling City?"

Cheng Yu was the first to say this, and he heard him say, "Lord, everyone, Wang Ping is from Yizhou and has been joining the Liangzhou army for some time. He has been in Hanzhong for a long time and is called a "living map" by some people, which shows his understanding of the land of Hanzhong. Since Zhang Derong, the prefect of Hanzhong, can let him garrison Fangling, he must have trusted him very much, and his ability will not be bad, so..."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After hearing Cheng Yu's introduction, everyone had a certain understanding of Wang Ping. Since he could be called a "living map", then he must be unmatched in his understanding of the terrain of Hanzhong, otherwise he would not have such a nickname. And according to his husband, the prefect of Hanzhong, Zhang Derong, since he could let him come here, it must be a statement that his ability is by no means an ordinary person.

As for saying that I have never heard of it, this is normal. After all, not everyone has heard of it. It has been known to all the powerful people, so it is really normal to have those who are not very revealing.

When Cao Cao heard this, he said to everyone: "Everyone, although this Wang Ping and Prince Jun, our army has never heard of his reputation. However, after hearing Zhongde's words, I have to say that he must have certain abilities and will never be valued by Zhang Derong.

After hearing what his lord said, everyone stopped nodding, but to be honest, they all understood what their lord meant, that is, they should not underestimate the enemy, and they should take it seriously, even if they have confidence, they should resolve the battle as soon as possible and occupy Fangling in eastern Han as soon as possible.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Xun You said at this time, "Yes, what the lord said is right, so our army should not underestimate the enemy!"

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and then the others said one by one that they would not underestimate the enemy, so they would do their best to attack Fangling at that time.

Cao Cao was indeed satisfied with the attitude of everyone. After all, he had already said and done what he should say, so finally, let's see how he took down Fang Ling.
