At the beginning, in order to attract the attention of the Wei army in Jingyang and Linjing, Guan Ji deliberately let the people of the engineering battalion smash the city for several days.

The city wall of Wushi City in the direction of Xiaoguan has now cleaned up the original stones and mud, and there is no time to repair it now.

Therefore, Cao Zhen did not go to Xiaoguan, but went north to Jingshui, and went directly to the southeast along Jingshui, even if Feng Yong had a garrison here, he had no chance to resist at all.

In this case, the army of the Captain's Mansion will be completely blocked.

Unless Feng Yong can break through Cao Zhen's army before Xian Yufu rushes over from behind to make his dumplings.

Otherwise, he could only lead the army south along Jingshui again, then turn north, return to Jingyang, and finally go to Yuezhicheng.

Then from the Yuezhi City over the mountains and rivers, north out of the Great Wall, into the desert.

At that time, I hope that I have the luck of Huo Huqi, find it all the way to Helan Mountain, and then find the way from there and return to Longyou.

Feng Yong's luck was not too bad, when he led the army all the way to Wushi City, he found that the years were quiet here.

Not to mention the Wei army, even the Wei army sentry has never been here.

Before coming to Wushi City, I hoped that Cao Zhen would not be here so soon.

But when Cao Zhenzhen didn't come here to block himself, Feng Yong became a little indecisive again.

While re-arming in Wushi City, he sent sentries to Xiao Pass.

On the contrary, Guan Ji can let go of the worries in her heart a little.

"It seems that Cao Zhen is really as expected, his original intention was not to design the prince, but to raid Longyou."

Although the previous speculation was extremely confident, it was at least half to reassure everyone.

Now seeing that Cao Zhen was really as he expected, Guan Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Yong was still a little uneasy, he asked with some doubts: "If it were me, I would turn back first, cooperate with Xian Yufu, eat the army of stability, and at the same time recover stability." ”

"Cao Zhen's current move is to give us more ample space to move, why?"

Guan Ji held a long whip in his hand and pointed to the location of Xiao Guan on the sand table: "Because he has a great appetite, he wants to capture Xiao Guan and eat us." ”

"And his original intention was to raid Longyou, and now he is forced to go north, and he wants to at least capture Xiaoguan in the future, as a later map."

Xiao Pass is the only pass of the Han Dynasty on the eastern side of Longyou Mountain.

It is also a nail wedged into the Guanzhong by the big man, stimulating the nerves of the Guanzhong all the time.

There is Xiaoguan in the north and Longguan in the south, as long as the Han has these two passes, they can cooperate with each other at any time and impact Huangxian.

On the contrary, if Cao Zhen takes Xiao Pass, then it is equivalent to closing the door for the Han to enter the Guanzhong.

At that time, Cao Zhen could concentrate on defending Wangxian County and preventing the Han from entering Guanzhong from Longguan.

"As long as Xiao Pass is captured, then stability can naturally be decided without a fight."

Guan Ji has become more and more like a general, at least in this battle, she has been able to fully substitute Cao Zhen's thoughts.

"He has now exposed himself in advance, so the time left for him to attack Xiao Pass is shorter than expected, and he must hurry up and prepare for the attack on Xiao Pass."

"Otherwise, when the prime minister of Hanzhong reacts and sends reinforcements to Longyou, then his plan will be in vain."

Guan Ji drew a circle in Xiao Guan, "Looking at stability, the only place that can accommodate 100,000 troops to fight is the area of Xiao Guan." ”

Anding is the intersection of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia in later generations, and there is a very famous term in later generations, called Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Area, and most of Anding County is included in it.

The terrain here is undulating, with many mountains and ravines, and few flat lands, which is not conducive to the deployment of large armies.

When Feng Yong led the army out of Xiao Pass, he was separated from Guan Ji's soldiers, in fact, there were also topographical reasons.

How many people Cao Zhen brought over, there is no exact data yet.

But if he really wanted to raid Longyou, then at least more than 50,000 people.

Because the regular Han army in Longyou had 50,000 people.

"If Cao Zhen enters Wushi City eastward first, then his army will not be able to exert itself in the Jingshui River Valley, which is equivalent to giving up his advantage."

"So he must be preparing to attack Xiao Pass at this time, while waiting for us to go to the rescue, and at the same time fight with us on the flat ground under Xiao Pass."

Fortunately, when Guan Ji said that she wanted to stay in Pingxiang, she didn't agree, so she must be pulled out!

Feng Junhou was extremely happy in his heart.

He looked at the large flat land east of Xiao Guan on the sand table, and finally smiled:

"Flat ground? That's a good idea! ”

Speaking of this, he nodded heavily:

"If he wants to fight, then he will fight! Cao really doesn't have enough time, and we don't have enough time, otherwise we will wait for Xian Yufu to come from behind, and everything will be over! ”

Cao Zhen was in a hurry, and Feng Yong was also in a hurry.

After all, no one knows how long those wall grasses in Linjing City can block Xian Yufu.

"Pass the order, rest for a day in Wushi City today, and set off for Xiaoguan tomorrow!"

"No!"

The crowd responded.

"Erlang, you stay."

Zhao Guang didn't understand why his brother left him alone, and he still called him Erlang in front of everyone in the army.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

Feng Yong sat down on the handsome seat a little tiredly, pointed to the position below, and said, "Sit first." ”

Seeing his brother's appearance, Zhao Guang knew that there was something important.

He sat down with some trepidation and looked at his brother.

Feng Yong said slowly, "In this battle, the armor horse in your hand is the most important thing, at this time, try not to have problems with any of the war horses." ”

Zhao Guang was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I understand." ”

Feng Yong smiled and raised his head, but he said something off-topic:

"When I first fought against Cao Thief, I met the New Fifth Army led by Zhang He, and I heard that there were veterans of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry at that time."

"Houping Jincheng, I met the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry again, the three strongest cavalry of the Wei State, I have already met two."

"The rest of the one is what the Jizhou cavalry hasn't seen yet. After the Battle of Longyou, Cao Rui transferred a lot of Jizhou soldiers from Hebei. ”

"So in my opinion, Cao Zhen should have a lot of Jizhou cavalry in his hands at this time."

Feng Yong said this and looked at Zhao Guang, "The first two times, I didn't have cavalry in my hands, so I could only use a Mo knife to deal with them." ”

"Now I not only have a Mo knife in my hand, but also a cavalry battalion that I have painstakingly formed. Therefore, I want to fulfill my wish, I want to defeat all the cavalry armies of Wei one by one, Erlang, are you willing to help me? ”

Although his brother's tone was flat, Zhao Guang was enthusiastic when he heard it, and he stood up suddenly:

"Without a brother, there would be no Zhao Guangzhi today. In the past, Zhao Guang relied on his brother, but today Zhao Guang can charge for his brother, although he will not regret it! ”

Feng Yong shook his head with a serious expression: "I don't want you to die, you just need to help me defeat the cavalry in Cao Zhen's hands, understand?" ”

"Understood!"

Two days later, in the Wei army camp under Xiaoguan City.

"Report! Report to Da Sima, there are Shu Lu in the southeast with the banner of Feng Zi! ”

Cao Zhen, who was inspecting the preparations for the attack on Xiao Pass, heard this, and a smile appeared on his face after the success of the plan:

"This Feng thief, did you finally send it to the door by yourself?"

"I thought it would take him at least two days to arrive, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly, and it is rumored that this thief is good at leading his troops to attack, and it is true."

Guo Huai, who came with Cao Zhen, smiled and answered:

"According to the last general, Feng Thief is only afraid that this time he is not leading the troops to attack, he is going to lead the troops to death!"

Guo Huai was almost left in Longyou back then, but he still relied on the Hu tribe he had supported a few years ago, and it coincided with the great drought at that time, and Weishui bottomed out, so he was able to escape back to Guanzhong along Weishui.

The escape from the Battle of Longyou really made him embarrassed.

And I heard afterwards that those Hu tribes who supported him were uprooted by Feng thieves.

Therefore, Guo Huai also hated Feng Yong deeply.

I've been waiting for a long time, and I've finally waited for today.

Although it may take a few days to avenge Longyou's revenge, it does not prevent him from making fun of it at this time, so as to vent the resentment in his heart a little.

When the people around heard this, they all laughed.

But Cao Zhen, after laughing, still said:

"The army led by Feng Thief is the elite of Shu Yu, I heard that this person is vicious and cunning, and he is good at using soldiers, so don't underestimate him."

"Fortunately, this time the thief was too careless, and he dared to go deep into the pass alone. If this thief can be eliminated this time, it can be regarded as a big harm for Dawei. ”

Shu has produced a Zhuge Liang who is good at governing the people, which has already made Great Wei quite jealous.

I never thought that a few years ago, there was another Feng thief, who was not only good at collecting money, but also good at governing the army, and even the articles were all in the world.

In the past few years, Shu Lu has not recovered the decline after the Battle of Yiling, but has become more and more prosperous, which is really boring.

If he can get rid of Feng Thief and his elite soldiers this time, Shu Lu will also cut off an arm.

"Da Sima skillfully used a clever plan to wait for work, and let the Great Wei soldiers take the opportunity to recuperate; On the other hand, Feng Thief, the back road was cut off, and the army's heart must be unstable. ”

"I was forced to come in a hurry by Da Sima, the division is tired and old, and there are few soldiers, Da Sima will definitely be able to break Shu and capture Feng thieves in this battle!"

Qin Lang, who was originally sent to Wang County by Cao Rui, followed the emperor for a long time, and he was well versed in the way of observing faces and colors.

At this time, he saw that although Cao Zhen was advising everyone to be careful, the expression on his face was smug, how could he not know Cao Zhen's true thoughts at the moment?

When Cao Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but brush his beard with his hand and smile, obviously this sentence won his heart.

"Have you prepared siege equipment?"

"Go back to Da Sima, it's already done."

When Cao Zhen heard this, he nodded: "Very good!" If you want to break the Xiao Pass, you must first break the Feng thief. Feng Yong came in a hurry this time, and I couldn't let him regain his strength. ”

"Pass my order, march tomorrow, break the Shu captives, and capture the Feng thief!"

"Break Shu captives, capture Feng thieves!"

Just as Feng Yong and Cao Zhen were facing each other under Xiaoguan City, they suddenly moved in a certain green grass bush on the hill east of the middle road.

Then several figures stood up, dressed in gray and greenish clothing, and even their faces painted with some kind of dark green color.

Even if you stood up, if you hadn't kept staring at the bushes, you really couldn't see that there was anyone standing there.

The strange figures each gestured, and then slowly retreated back into the mountain.

In some unknown valley, an army was quietly staying.

"Report to the general, except for the occasional Wei army passing by, there is no one else in the rest of the time."

The captain of the Night Battalion, who came back from reconnaissance, immediately went to Hogo.

Huo Ge nodded with a somewhat ugly face: "Got it." ”

After the people of the Dark Night Camp retreated, Huo Ge looked at Shi Bao: "Staff Officer Shi, where do you think this Cao thief's grain team will stay?" ”

Although Shi Bao said earlier that he was just to pay homage to the strange people, he deliberately went to Longchi Mountain to see it.

But Hogo led the way and found that he was familiar with the trail.

He was able to lead them out of the mountains in the fastest time, and then he was able to find a hidden hiding place.

Of course, that's not the point, the point is that Hogo needs to find a suitable place to stay in the middle of the road as quickly as possible.

Because from Huangxian to Xiaoguan, there are hundreds of miles (Hanli), which is not a distance that can be reached back and forth in one day.

If it was really according to General Guan's words, Cao Zhen rushed to Xiao Pass from Huangxian to Xiao Pass in less than ten days, then he must have let the army march in a hurry.

If the army is in a hurry, it is impossible to be so fast with heavy grain and grass, so it can only follow behind and hurry slowly.

So the first thing I have to do now is to find the baggage team or grain and grass team of the Cao thief on the middle road.

Shi Bao was looking at the quiet and disciplined soldiers around him, and he was sighing in his heart that Feng Junhou had a good way of governing the army.

At this time, when he heard Huo Ge's question, he subconsciously said: "General Huo, please rest assured, I also know the suitable place to stay on the middle road this time." ”

"Back then, I wanted to be able to smuggle goods...... Ahem, in order to save some time for transporting goods, but I didn't know much about the main roads in the customs. ”

"This valley goes out to the north, there is a water, and there is a small village pavilion by the water, and the travelers who walked back to the middle road in those years must stay there."

"Therefore, if the thief army transports grain, it must be a place to stay."

When Huo Ge heard this, his face was full of joy: "So good! I wonder how long it will take to get from here to there? ”

"It's only half a day's journey."

"Good! Camp in the Night! ”

"What does the general command?"

"You immediately send someone to go sixty miles north along the water to investigate!"

"No!"

Seeing that the people of the Dark Night Battalion began to set off with the equipment of the army again, Shi Bao couldn't help but ask with some concern:

"General Huo, the soldiers came over the mountain, but I am afraid that they are a little tired. This dark night camp, this way is even more to open the way to investigate, but I am afraid that it will be even more tired. ”

"Now it's only two and a half hours until dark, and it will take a day and a half for others to come and go, will this dark night camp be ......?"

Huo Ge shook his head: "Staff Officer Shi, please rest assured, the people in the Dark Night Camp are the elite of the prince's personal leadership, others can say that they are tired, but they can't." ”

When Shi Bao heard this, he looked at the soldiers around him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The clothes worn by the people of the Night Camp have never been seen even by the stone buds who have walked a lot of places.

Not to mention that the dry food that these soldiers eat now is actually mixed with the brown sugar that the big family of Anding dreams of.

One bite down, the taste is extraordinary, making people want to eat it again.

In this way, this kind of food was used by Feng Junhou to supply the sergeants and soldiers of the army.
