For a moment, the relationship between Zhao Mu and Princess Zhang Ning finally emerged from the water.

Cao Cao, Zhang Lu, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Yue, five major magistrates attacked Zhao Mu and Zhang Ning's troops. They fought for several consecutive days and fell into the war. The two sides could not fight for a long time.

Finally, when the Spring Festival in 200 was approaching, Ma Teng, who had been entrenched in the west, was moved by Cao Cao and others. Then, 40,000 Ma Teng's army and 10,000 cavalry were about to arrive in Hanzhong.

The Libra of the War is about to be broken by this variable Ma Teng Army.

When Zhao Mu heard the news, he was furious and made a quick decision not to get entangled in the war, leading all the soldiers out of the ruined Hanzhong City.

Due to the pig iron cannons and terrifying heavy cavalry that shocked Zhao Mu, the Cao and Lu armies did not go deep into the suburbs to pursue the plains.

However, they never expected that Zhao Mu made an order that was so heartbreaking that he would be infuriating in the future on the second day of his withdrawal from Hanzhong City.

That is, Zhao Mu was angry and burned Hanzhong City, and thousands of cannons were bombarded, without leaving any chickens and dogs.

On this day, it seemed as if the heaven and earth were also furious, angry at what Zhao Mu did, hundreds of pig iron cannons kept bombarding the defenders in Hanzhong City.

At the same time, giant catapults were transported from the rear and quickly assembled. Dozens of giant catapults were no longer huge rocks, but packs of packs filled with tinder oil, hay, and stones mixed with debris.

When these flammable materials were thrown into the city without any scruples again and again by dozens of giant catapults.

For a moment, the Cao and Lu armies in the city screamed endlessly, and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Hanzhong also burned the city.

A few days later, the Ma Teng army quickly supported them, and allied people and allied soldiers were greeted with waves of burnt gray faces.

Because Zhang Lu had few soldiers left behind, Hanzhong was destroyed and committed suicide in Hanzhong City.

In this battle, Cao Lu was defeated.

He was defeated by Zhao Mu's extremely ruthless and decisive subordinates.

At the same time, Zhao Mu was also indirectly defeated, and for a moment, his reputation in the world was inaudible.

However, all this doesn't matter to Zhao Mu. The most people died between life and death, and the ending of being defeated by the six major officials was far from the end of his defeat.

As for reputation?

It doesn’t matter. Without absolute power, fame is very important, because without reputation, you cannot attract talents. Without talent, it is even more difficult to control soldiers, and it is impossible to recruit soldiers to join the army.

But now the overall situation has been decided, no matter how much reputation is, it is just a icing on the cake for Zhao Mu. He has mastered hundreds of thousands of troops, good and bad reputation, that is, there are winners in history to write about it. Success and kings will succeed and defeat the enemy. This is the cruel fact of reality.

Although he snatched Liu Bei's opportunity, Zhao Mu and Liu Bei were two kinds of people. The former was a real villain, while the latter was a hypocrite. As for who can laugh to the end, everything can only be based on strength.

The fire burned Hanzhong and finally broke the reins that had been persistent for a long time. Zhao Mu then led the replacing first, second and third army through Hanzhong, with the troops aimed directly at Chang'an.

He ordered the traumatized Fifth to Eighth Army and then retreated to the rear.
