"General Yang Jian, we can only trust the general for this battle! Hanzhong, we can only trust the general!" Dai Tuo stood up suddenly, walked to Yang Jian, and bowed solemnly.

This mission is really too important. It is related to the safety of Hanzhong. It can even be said that it is related to the safety of Yizhou as a whole.

Now that we have the troops to return to Nanzheng, the next step is to choose the general.

As the commander-in-chief of an army, Tuo Tuo still needs to stabilize the front line, so he will definitely not be able to go back.

Chen Qingzhi cannot be exposed at this time. If he appears, the White Robe Army's hidden army will be completely exposed this time. If Chen Qingzhi did not show up and just transferred a thousand people from the White Robe Army, then this secret move would still have the possibility of hiding him.

Therefore, Chen Qingzhi definitely cannot lead troops back to aid Nanzheng.

Apart from these two, the only ones who are qualified to take on this important task are Yang Jian and Liu Zhiyuan.

Liu Zhiyuan was seriously injured and had already taken a small route and was escorted back to Chengdu.

After all the calculations, Yang Jian seems to have become the only choice.

As for Yu Da, he is brave if he is brave, but he is already a simple martial artist.

At this time, even if Dai Tuo was reluctant to transfer Yang Jian, a powerful combat force, from the front line, the situation was such that he really had no better way.

"General Tuo, how can this be done!"

"General, don't worry, even if Yang Jian dies, he will definitely destroy this Jin army!" Yang Jian quickly supported Dai Tuo with both arms, not letting him really bow down!

Dai Tuo was the commander-in-chief of Hanzhong. If he offered such a great gift, Yang Jian would never dare to accept it.

"I would like to go with General Yang, just to see who can cross the Ziwu Valley!" Shen Luoyan said with a half-smile.

In fact, Shen Luoyan was indeed quite interested in, or rather curious about, the person who could lead the army across Ziwu Valley. There are few people who would not be interested in such a person.

However, the reason why Shen Luoyan really wants to follow the past is actually to worry more about whether Yang Jian has the ability to return victoriously?

Although Yang Jian is not a simple reckless man like Yu Da, it is actually quite ridiculous to say how high Yang Jian's ability to lead troops can be! Yang Jian didn't even have the experience of commanding an army as a general in battle, so how high could his ability to command troops be?

As for Yang Jian, there is absolutely no need to say much in terms of military force. He is a well-known leader in the entire Yizhou. However, fighting a war is never just about using force!

The enemy we need to face next, although we don’t know who he is yet. However, since the other party has the ability to lead others across Ziwu Valley, just because the other party can do this, you know that he is definitely not an easy person to deal with.

Once Yang Jian fell into some of the enemy's tricks during this process, Hanzhong could not help but fail this time. After all, maybe this single failure is not a big deal, but the chain reaction that followed this failure was really too serious.

"Okay, General Yang Jian, plus Commander Shen, we can definitely make it foolproof this time!" Dai Tuo nodded in agreement.

If Shen Luoyan was also there to help Yang Jian, Tuo would indeed feel more at ease.

The Jin army, whether it was Li Jing or Wang Jian, were all shocked when they heard that Geng Yan had actually passed through Ziwu Valley. And after the shock, it was natural to feel happy.

The Jin army now does not know that the white robe army has been hiding around, giving the Shu army the possibility to return to Nanzheng as soon as possible. Therefore, both Li Jing and Wang Jian took it for granted that the Shu army's front line would inevitably encounter a food crisis.

Especially Wang Jian, Geng Yan destroyed the grain and grass shipped to Zhang Xun as soon as he took action. Next, Zhang Xun will definitely take advantage of it.

However, Wang Jian never expected that he would encounter a real tough guy this time.

Wang Jian had already seen how powerful Zhang Xun was. Guarding the valley trails along the Shiquan and Yangxian lines, Wang Jian's more than 100,000 soldiers were unable to exert any slight advantage in military strength.

No matter how powerful Wang Jian is, Zhang Xun's geographical advantage is strong enough. In a short period of time, there is really nothing he can do against this famous defensive general.

But this time, Wang Jian believed that it wouldn't take long before the food crisis broke out at Zhang Xun's place, and that would be the time for his thunderous strike. The general is more about strategy than courage. Wang Jian has even begun to think about how to use scheming strategies!

However, perhaps Wang Jian still doesn't know that the Zhang Xun he is facing is also an extremely ruthless person. It should be said that although Wang Jian has initially seen Zhang Xun's power, he has not yet seen his other side.

In history, Zhang Xun was determined to defend Suiyang City. Although there were only a few thousand defenders, the soldiers fought to the death, charged into the battle, and risked their lives. They created more than 400 battles in a few months under the conditions of dozens of times difference in troop strength. , a miracle of killing 120,000 enemies.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Xun has become a quite dazzling name in the ranks of famous historical generals.

However, a few people knew that during the defense of Suiyang, they ran out of ammunition and food, and there was a shortage of food in the city. In the end, the soldiers could only eat tree bark and were unable to kill the enemy.

In this critical situation, Zhang Xun first killed his wives and concubines to satisfy the hunger of the soldiers. After that, he killed the old and weak people in the city. Suiyang City initially had a population of 40,000, but when Suiyang was captured, there were only more than 400 people left. This means that Zhang Xun's army devoured 40,000 people and only had 400 people left.

It is precisely because of this move that future generations have mixed reviews of Zhang Xun.

There were already serious differences in the assessment of Zhang Xun's merits and demerits in the Li and Tang dynasties at that time. Those who derogated Zhang believed that "Zhang patrolled to guard Suiyang and did not go away. Instead of cannibalizing, he was as good as a whole person." Those who support Zhang believe that "the patrols used the few to attack the masses, the weak to control the strong, and the rivers and Huaihe Rivers to protect the majesty's troops. When the troops arrived, they patrolled to death. The patrol's merits were great."

But in the end, Zhang Xun was still regarded as a hero and recorded in the history of the Li Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, whether Wang Jian can use the opportunity of food and grass to kill Zhang Xun with one blow this time is actually still unknown.

What's more, Yang Jian and Shen Luoyan have already returned to Nanzheng. Although there will be some problems with Zhang Xun's food and grass, it is still unknown how serious it will be.
