"The only way to retreat is to retreat to the area of Qishan City and Mumen."

Zhao Guang said without hesitation, "These three places have not been lowered, Longyou is difficult to be safe, and the army is not allowed to go north, so there is only a retreat." ”

Feng Yong was stunned, and said in his heart, isn't that the fourth Northern Expedition of Zhuge Old Demon in the original history ambushed at Mumen, and made people shoot Zhang He in the knee?

"Then what if you go down to Xixian and Jicheng?"

"Then you can try to block the street pavilion and Longdi."

Zhao Guang nodded at Shangqi, "If it is not down, to the east is Linwei County, the seat of Guangwei County, and the two can echo each other." ”

"In addition, from Linwei to Chencang, there is a Longshan trail formed by the Wei River, and the army can't go, but it's still okay to send two or three thousand elite soldiers over."

"In this case, there is a threat to the eastern side of the army, so you have to be careful. If you want to annihilate the enemy who comes to help, the street pavilion is the best choice. ”

"Why?"

Feng Yong asked.

"Because not only is it advantageous there, but at the same time, it is easy for the army to be assembled from Lüyang."

No way!

You know this? Yes!

Feng Yong squinted at Zhao Guang.

Zhao Guang didn't notice Feng Yong's eyes, and saw him insert a small wooden stick representing Cao Wei in Shangqi and Pingxiang in Guangwei County.

The pincer attack formed by the east and west sides of Cao Wei on the line of Xixian, Jixian, Luoyang, and Jieting was suddenly highlighted.

Judging from the sand table, in the case that there are threats on both sides of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the Street Pavilion is indeed the most suitable place for a decisive battle, and it is also the extreme place where the Northern Expeditionary Army can support a decisive battle.

Feng Yong looked at the sand table and thought to himself, if it was really the first Northern Expedition in the original history, could it be that the Street Pavilion was the decisive battle site designed by Zhuge Old Demon a long time ago?

"If you want to fight the Cao thief in the street pavilion, you must know the terrain of the street pavilion."

Zhao Guang is unreliable in other aspects, but when it comes to marching and fighting, it is quite good.

Since Feng Yong's hint, in the past two years, in order to make the land of Longyou into a sand table, he even came to Qishan in person as a business traveler.

The reason why Qishan City was able to be defeated so quickly this time was because he provided an extremely detailed topographic map.

Otherwise, the Han Dynasty came from afar, and the siege equipment could not be transported in time, and it would be difficult to capture Qishan City.

"If you want to choke Longshan Avenue, one is to guard Longdi in the east of Longshan, and the other is to guard the street pavilion in the west of Longshan."

"There is a spring in the street pavilion city, which can be used by the army, there is a river next to it, it is all flat land around, it is nearly ten miles wide from north to south, and it is about thirty miles long from east to west.

"In order to prevent someone from taking advantage of this place to break the customs and contact Longyou, the Cao thief destroyed this city, so now this city is in ruins."

"However, although the small city is ruined, if it is repaired, it can still be used as a large army camp to hold on to the Cao thieves. Moreover, this place is open, and it is an excellent place for the two armies to meet. ”

"And there is a slight sun behind the street pavilion as a support, and the Cao thief is going to cross the Longshan Mountain, as long as they hold on, they will definitely suffer. The only thing to worry about is to guard against Cao thieves on both sides of the east and west. ”

Many people in later generations said that the terrain of the street pavilion was dangerous, but in fact, that was nonsense.

There are indeed mountains on the north and south sides of the street pavilion, but the valley is actually an open area with an area of dozens of square kilometers, which is suitable for the armies of both sides to fight in formation.

The small town of Jieting is right in the middle of this open area, and it is impossible to get around.

Obviously, according to this terrain, Zhuge Old Demon was going to have a real man's contest with Zhang He in the original history.

It's a pity that Ma Dazui actually made a private claim, ran to the mountain, and got out of the way.

The Han army failed to set up camp on the Guanlong Avenue, the front army was defeated again, and the two wings were threatened, so it was impossible to compete with the Wei army.

Therefore, Zhuge Old Demon had obviously led the army to the vicinity of the street pavilion, but as soon as he heard the battle situation ahead, he turned around and left very simply, without a trace of stagnation-because he couldn't do anything about it.

The only thing that made Feng Yong wonder was why Zhuge Old Demon thought that he could defeat Zhang He in the Street Pavilion?

If the two armies were entangled in the street pavilion for several months, what if the flanks on both sides of the Han army's back road changed?

It's not impossible, look at the battle of Hanzhong that year, it was as long as two years.

"You say, if the army and the Cao thief meet in the street pavilion, how should the Cao thief be defeated?"

Feng Yong finally couldn't help but ask.

Several people looked at each other, Wang Ping was the oldest, and finally he opened his mouth to admonish, "General, the matter of this battle array is changing in an instant, and I have heard that there is a saying that the time, place and people are favorable, and so on. According to what he has seen firsthand, the victory or defeat cannot be decided unless he is in front of the battle. ”

"Now I'm waiting here to assume, I can only try not to be taken advantage of by the Cao thief, as for how to defeat the Cao thief, I still have to rely on the opportunity to change before the battle."

Feng Yong listened and said apologetically, "It's me who is too persistent." ”

As he spoke, he smiled gratefully at Wang Ping with some sudden realization, "The prime minister once said to me in the past, first for invincibility, and then for the enemy to be victorious; You can't win against yourself, but you can win against the enemy. Today, with the words of General Wang, I woke up. ”

Wang Ping smiled a little embarrassed, and said in his heart I can't read, what I just said is just my own personal experience, how can I know what the prime minister taught Feng Langjun?

"What about Longdi?"

Feng Yong asked again.

"Longdi's words ......"

Zhao Guang's face showed hesitation, "It's hard to say." After all, Longdi is a pass, if we want to defend Longdi, not only must we rush over Longshan, but also take the pass before the Cao thief comes to help. ”

"The most suitable person to take on this great responsibility is the Nanxiang soldiers." Zhao Guang looked at Feng Yong, "It's just that now the Nanxiang soldiers are no more than 1,500 people now......

Feng Yong took 600 people from Nanxiang to Yueshan, returned to Hanzhong, and took away all the soldiers trained in Nanxiang in the past two years, so as to gather 1,500 people.

Take these 1,500 people to fight the Longshan Pass, not to mention whether it can be defeated, even if it can be defeated, it is estimated that there are few left.

A few years of hard work have been in vain.

However, Zhao Guang didn't tell the truth, Feng Yong asked in a deep voice, "You haven't done anything in the past two years?" ”

"Dry ...... I did it, but I always felt that there was something less than the Nanxiang soldiers. Zhao Guang stammered, "No matter how you practice, you can't compare to the soldiers from Nanxiang." ”

Nonsense, a soldier without spiritual beliefs can be compared with a Nanxiang soldier? The spiritual indoctrination of Nanxiang in recent years is not fake.

Feng Yong didn't bother to explain to him.

His gaze kept sweeping back and forth between Longdi and the street pavilion, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Brother, whether you go to Jieting or Longdi, you must pass through Ji County. For example, there are people going to each of the counties of Shui today, but no one is going to Ji County, which is the time for us to perform. ”

Zhao Guang waited for a long time, but he didn't see Feng Yong speak, and finally couldn't help but come over, "The prime minister has the people he can use now, but now he is the only one waiting for me, but I don't know what my brother and the prime minister are talking about?" ”

"No, before I said it, the prime minister called me back, telling me to study hard and be optimistic about the army's grain supply."

Feng Yong shook his head.

"Huh?"

Zhao Guang thought that this matter was nine out of ten, but he didn't think that he would get this answer, and he was dumbfounded at the moment.

Just when the city of Qishan was broken and the Northern Expedition army broke through, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty personally led the army to attack Xixian, and at the same time sent Wu Yi to lead the army to Shangqi, Jiang Wei, a member of the army of Tianshui County, led people to follow Tianshui Taishou Ma Zun all the way, and chased after him.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Ma Zun hugged the horse's neck, and while looking back, for fear that there would be a trace of Jiang Wei and others suddenly, he urged desperately.

At the same time, he was scolding in his heart: This Jiang Boyo, does he really want to put me to death? Otherwise, from Luomen to Shangqi for more than 300 miles, why would he bite day and night?

"Mingfu, Shangtai City has arrived!"

I heard a sudden surprise shout.

When Ma Zun heard this, he hurriedly turned his head to look forward, and saw the tall city wall of Shangtai City appear in front of him.

Overjoyed at the moment, he whipped the horse a few times, and forced the horse to accelerate forward again, despite the fact that the horse was already foaming at the mouth.

Guo Huai hurried to hurry, and not long after returning to Shangtai City, he heard that someone under his hand had come to report, and someone in the city claimed that Tianshui Taishou wanted to enter the city.

Guo Huai was strange, before he left, he clearly ordered Tianshui Taishou to guard Ji City, how could he follow him to Shangtai?

Thinking like this, when I walked to the head of the city, I saw a group of people under the city, and the leader was Tianshui Taishou Ma Zun.

Guo Huai was shocked, thinking that something big had happened, and hurriedly asked people to open the city gate.

Ma Zun saw that the city gate was finally opened, as if he saw the hope of survival, and immediately ran over with a rolling belt, and saw Guo Huai meeting him in the city cave, he stumbled up, hugged Guo Huai's legs, and cried, "Thorn history, it's not good!" ”

"What's wrong?"

Guo Huai saw that Ma Zun's body and face were full of dust, and it was obvious that he was desperately hurrying here, so he hurriedly helped him up and asked.

"The big clan of Jicheng has long had secret dealings with Shu captives, Jiang Wei and others who joined the army have already voted for Shu captives, they are not only ready to sacrifice the city, but also chase down the officials all the way, wanting to kill the lower officials."

Ma Zun's tears flowed down, and his face was green, which made people look pitiful.

When Guo Huai heard this, his first feeling was to kick this useless waste away!

You are the Tianshui Taishou!

Shu Yu has not passed Xixian yet, and Jicheng behind him has been lost? What's the use of asking you to be the Tianshui Taishou?

"Someone! Close the gates first! ”

Guo Huai looked at the emptiness outside the city, and only felt that there would be Shu Lu coming out at any time, so he ordered first.

Gradually, the moat was raised, and the gates began to creak and close.

At this moment, I saw smoke and dust flying in the distance.

"Wait a minute, don't close the gates!"

When Jiang Wei saw this scene, he was anxious and shouted loudly.

Unfortunately, the distance was too far for the people in the city to hear what he said.

When he rushed to the bottom of the city, the gate of Shangtai was closed.

Not only that, but an arrow was shot down from the head of the city, which was nailed directly in front, and at the same time someone in the city shouted, "Who is under the city?" ”

Jiang Wei had no choice but to stop, and replied loudly, "Jiang Wei is also a member of Tianshui who joined the army, and followed Tianshui Taishou all the way. ”

At this time, I saw a human head sticking out of the city, it was Ma Zun, his face was dirty and messy, but he was very proud.

"Jiang Boyo, don't bully people anymore! Now the army of Shu is about to come to the city of Tai, do you and I have to wait? You are like this, you are just filling the front army of Shu and trying to deceive the city gate! ”

When Jiang Wei heard this, he was shocked, "Why did the Ming Mansion say this? I followed the Ming Mansion all the way, and I have never seen any Shu army. ”

Ma Zun laughed and said, "Don't you want to deceive people, Shangtai only got the news yesterday, and I know that now the puppet of Shu has sent a large army to come, and you are in such a hurry, just to trick into the city to do internal response." It's a pity that you think you're acting secretly, but you don't think you've already seen through it. ”

When Jiang Wei under the city heard this, his heart was extremely anxious, "Taishou came all the way, and a certain also followed all the way, how could there ever be a matter of surrendering to Shu?" If the Ming Mansion doesn't believe it, I'll wait until I can untie my weapons before entering the city. ”

Unfortunately, the people in the city seem to have decided that they are collaborating with the enemy, and no matter how he explains it, Shangtai City is unmoved.

In the end, even Guo Huai came forward and said loudly, "Jiang Boyo, now that Shu is coming at any time, as a member of the army, the top priority is to return to Jicheng as soon as possible and defend the city, not to come to Shangtai." ”

When Jiang Wei heard this, he knew that he could not enter the city, so he sighed and had to retreat the same way with the people.

A few days later, when they arrived at the foot of Jicheng, they met the separated people.

"Why don't you go into town?"

Jiang Wei asked Liang Xu's clan brother Liang Qian in surprise.

Liang Qian smiled bitterly and pointed to Jicheng, "Don't let us in." ”

"Why?"

Jiang Wei was shocked, in his own line, the main book and the main secretary are all officials in the county, why can't they enter Jicheng?

"It is said that the situation outside is unknown now, and it is not allowed to enter and exit at will."

When Jiang Wei heard this, he was immediately annoyed.

Shang Tai suspected that he had surrendered to the enemy, and asked him to come back to defend Ji City to clarify his intentions.

Now Ji Cheng said that the situation outside is unclear and he will not let himself enter the city, how can he be good?

Thinking of this, Jiang Wei walked to the city and shouted loudly, "I am Jiang Wei, Tianshui joins the army, the city guard, quickly open the door with me." ”

I could only hear someone shouting, "Dare to ask Jiang to join the army, where are Ma Taishou and Guo Tingshi?" ”

"Ma Taishou and Guo Tingshi went to Shangtai, so I waited to come back to guard Jicheng."

Jiang Wei explained.

"Jiang joined the army and went out of the city with the Taishou and the Assassin History, and now the Taishou and the Assassin History are gone, but you privately led people back to defend the city? This is inappropriate. The situation outside the city is unknown, and I dare not open the city gate without permission. Since Ma Taishou and Guo Jianshi both went to Shangtai, why didn't Ma join the army and go to Shangtai with him? ”

When Jiang Wei heard this, he almost vomited blood!

"I came back from Shangtai."

"Jicheng is worry-free, Jiang joins the army or goes back to Shangtai first, and then returns after Shu is gone."

"I'll join your mother!"

Even the clay figure also has three points of earthiness, Jiang Wei, who has been reading the scriptures for a long time, finally couldn't help the anger in his heart, and scolded at the moment.

Dare to love Lao Tzu is a juju, let you kick back and forth?

"My aunt is in the city, so I don't need Jiang to worry about joining the army. It's your aunt, who is separated from Jiang to join the army inside and outside, and also asks Jiang to join the army to respect herself! ”

When Jiang Wei heard this, he was shocked and frightened, he lost his father since he was a child, and his old mother raised him, and the other party took the old mother to threaten him, and he didn't dare to speak disrespectfully.

At the moment, I was in a hurry under the city.
