The mountain was full of logs, and soon someone carried the thick log down from the mountain and began to storm the gate.

The wooden gate rattled and was about to crash open, and the eyes of everyone in the Han army were hole-shaped, ah, no, they were shining with ecstasy.

They were facing the arrows that shot from inside, and none of them retreated, shouting slogans and slamming the door desperately.

With a "boom", the gate finally fell, kicking up a puff of dust.

"Be careful!"

There were figures in the dust, and someone noticed that something was wrong, so they hurriedly reminded them.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded like a storm, a team of men and horses rushed out of it, and the Han army, which was about to swarm in, was unable to avoid it for a while, and some people were knocked into the air, vomiting blood in their mouths, their muscles and bones were broken, and they fell to the ground and could not get up again.

The cavalry that rushed out were all dressed in leather armor, and the weapons in their hands were all made of iron, which was the personal guard of the strong end.

They increased their speed to the limit in the shortest possible time, broke through the encirclement, and even the Hu people who stood in their way were hacked to death by them, and then ran towards the lower reaches of the river.

Before they could reach the mouth of the valley, crossbow arrows like locusts suddenly flew from the front, and the first wave of people screamed miserably, and the horses rushed out of a distance with inertia before they died, and then threw the people out of the way.

Since the Han army was ambushed here early, how could it be possible not to block the intersection?

"Dismount and go up the mountain!"

The strong end spoke out.

Although there were Han troops all over the mountains, most of them had already run down the mountain to join the siege, and there were not many Han troops left on the mountain.

In addition, the Di people live in the mountains all year round, and they have a lot of advantages over the Han people in the mountains.

When the guards heard the command, they hurriedly dismounted and began to run towards the mountain.

The mountains and forests here are dense, and it is impossible for the Han people to seal every corner, as long as they find a gap and climb over this mountain, it is impossible for the Han people to catch up with them.

It's a pity that the strong end of the group is extremely conspicuous in the chaotic Hu people, as long as the eyes are not blind, they all know that this must be a Hu leader, so the Han army that has the spare strength to catch up with them is closely followed.

Seeing that he really couldn't get rid of it, Qiangduan ordered his relatives to flee in all directions to distract the attention of the Han army, so he saw the direction and took his personal guards into the mountains and forests.

I didn't know how long I had been walking, and I felt that the shouting and killing had been left far behind, so Qiang Duan dared to stop a little, picked up the mountain spring and drank several sips.

The cold mountain spring was in his stomach, and Qiang Duan felt that he had regained some strength.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of breaking the air!

I only heard someone shouting from the guards, "Be careful, king!" ”

At the same time, he pounced on the strong end, and with a "snort", an arrow feather shot through the chest of the guard.

The rest of the people hurriedly drew their swords and surrounded the strong end.

A lot of people came out not far from the opposite side, all of them were holding crossbows, aiming at this side, and when the strong end saw the leader, his eyes were split: "Yang Servant!" ”

Yang Servant stood in the middle, smiled, and said loudly, "Why did the powerful king come so late? Vain waited here for a long time. ”

Qiangduan is a land snake, he knows where there are trails to walk, but Yang Fu was also the king of Wudu, he is more familiar with Wudu than Qiangduan, the king of Yinping Di, so he took people early to wait at the place where Qiangduan is most likely to pass, and sure enough, he guarded the big fish.

"Why?" Qiang Duan stared at Yang Servant deadly, and the anger in his eyes almost erupted, "I have no grudge against you, why did you harm me?" ”

Yang Fu sneered, didn't answer his words at all, waved his hand, and more than a hundred people around him shot arrows in unison, and the last few relatives around Qiang Duan only had time to rush up a few steps before they were shot into a honeycomb.

Even Qiang Duan was hit by several arrows, and he had an iron armor that he had exchanged for from the Han Chinese, but unfortunately he took it off and threw it away when he fled.

Now that the arrow wound on his body was enough to kill him, he lay on the ground, his eyes wide open, and he was holding on to his last breath and refused to swallow.

"For ...... What the? ”

A dark shadow obscured his vision, and his lips moved, and with the last strength in his body, he muttered and repeated.

Yang Fu squatted down, his face indifferent, "For the wool." Powerful king, in the past two years, the life of our people in Ji County has become more and more difficult. ”

"The land allocated to us by the emperor of the Han people in the north has been continuously annexed by the Han people in recent years, especially in the past two years, while they have cultivated their own land, they have robbed us of our land and forced us to give him sheep."

"The Han prime minister in the south promised me that if I was willing to help, he could set aside a piece of land in Longyou and let the Han people teach us how to open pastures, so that we could stay there and graze with peace of mind."

"You can also exchange wool for grain, salt, wool cloth, anything. Powerful King, you should know how much benefit there is in this place when you cooperate with the Han Chinese. ”

"Now this benefit is all for you to occupy, so you hope that Longyou and Wudu will always remain like this. But for me, only when Longyou and Wudu have changed, can my clan have a way out, understand? ”

After listening to what Yang Fu said, he forced his throat to hehe twice, wanting to speak, but he couldn't say it anymore, and the light in his eyes finally dimmed.

And in the valley in the distance, the battle finally came to an end.

This battle not only captured a large number of Di people, but also harvested a lot of horses, cattle and sheep.

The whole valley is filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"King Yang, after this battle, there is no one here who can stop you from returning to Yinping to become the king of Di." Gao Xiang looked at Yang Ju, "Wudu is connected to Longyou in the north, Hanzhong in the east, and Bashu in the south, which is a critical place. ”

"What the big man needs is a calm Wudu Yinping, and he doesn't want to have a strong end again, understand?"

"The villain understands."

"Okay, then you can go."

"No."

Yang Ju clenched his fists heavily, and then left with the people.

"Every mountain road leading to the north must be strictly guarded, and no one is allowed to be missed, lest the news be leaked."

Gao Xiang ordered to the person next to him again.

"No!"

Just when Qiangduan was ambushed in the valley, Cao Zhen finally led the army to Gudao County and attacked Hechi County, where Zhao Yun was stationed.

Zhao Yun defended against danger and repeatedly repelled Cao Zhen, preventing Cao's army from crossing the pass and threatening the Yang'an Pass in the east and the Golden Bull Road leading to Shuzhong.

Cao Zhen suffered a small loss from Zhao Yun in Jikou, and now he hit a wall here, attacking for two consecutive days, losing some people and horses, all of which returned in vain, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

Just when his heart was on fire, Wei Zhen, the general of Zhengshu, entered the tent, "General, there is news from the strong end in the south." ”

"Oh, where's the strong end?"

When Cao Zhen heard this, he hurriedly asked.

He is now blocked here, and can only hope for the cooperation of the strong end, and the two sides are flanked.

If they can cut off Shulu's grain route, it is the best, if they can't, at least they can force them to return to defense and reduce the pressure on Longyou's side.

"When the last general was patrolling the west, he caught a fine worker, he claimed to be sent by the strong end, and said that he knew the general, so the last general brought him over, and the general wanted to see him?"

"Let him in."

I saw a Hu man enter the tent and salute Cao Zhen, "Yang Servant has seen the general." ”

Cao Zhen glanced at Yang Fu with some doubts, "I think you are indeed a little familiar, but where have you seen it before?" ”

A respectful smile appeared on Yang Fu's face, "The general defeated Shu Lu in Xia Debate ten years ago, and the villain once raised troops to respond to the Great Wei and won the commendation of Emperor Wu. Later, the villain was attached to the clan, and Emperor Meng did not abandon it, and moved the clan to Ji County. ”

In the battle of the lower debate that year, Cao Zhen was a partial general at the time, and followed Cao Hong and Cao Xiu to defend the lower debate.

When Cao Zhen heard this, he remembered, "Oh, no wonder, I remember that you also sent dozens of cattle and sheep to the army as military rations." ”

"The general has a good memory!"

Yang Fu complimented again.

When he remembered who Yang Servant was, Cao Zhen's eyes showed suspicion again, "Since you have moved into Ji County, why did you appear here again?" ”

"General Hui, after Jicheng was broken by Shu, the villain was afraid of being killed by Shu because he raised troops to respond to Emperor Wu back then, so he led his people to flee back to Wudu and asked for help from the powerful king."

"When the powerful king heard the arrival of the Great Wei army a few days ago, he had raised troops from Qiang Road, crossed the Qiang River, and marched to the lower level, and at the same time sent a villain to tell the general Yu that he wanted to echo with the general in the north and south."

Qiang Duan beheaded the head of Wu Lan, the general of Shu, and personally sent it to Emperor Wu's camp, and Yang Fu was later attached to the clan, all of whom were sincerely to the king of Great Wei, and Cao Zhen had dealt with them.

Now when he heard Yang Fu's words, he was overjoyed at the moment, "You are really a loyal person!" Let me ask you, do you know how many Shu captives there are? ”

"Back to the general, the enemy of the lower debate, originally there were only 3,000 people, and later the Shu Lu of Qishan City heard that the general came from Chencangdao, and sent another 2,000 people, so now a total of 5,000 people, guarding the city and Gushan."

"However, I heard that the reinforcements from Longyou are rushing to the rescue, and the number of them is unknown. General, if the Shu Lu of Longyou turns back, it will be difficult to take it. ”

"The powerful king is now looking forward to the south of the Western Han River, and as soon as the general's army arrives, the powerful king will cross the Western Han River to the north. Please send troops as soon as possible to defend and attack from the north and south to cut off the back road of Shu. ”

Wei Zhen, who was on the side, listened to it, and saw that Cao Zhen had a contemplative look on his face, and he was a little anxious at the moment, such a great opportunity, why did the general hesitate?

This time to enter the military capital to cut off the grain road of Shu, it was proposed by himself, if it is successful, it is expected to make immortal achievements.

If you miss the opportunity because of hesitation, you don't know when you will have such an opportunity in the future.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhen leaned in and persuaded softly, "General, this opportunity is rare!" If you divide the troops, let a certain leader lead 10,000 people to the east, and attack the north and south with the king of Di, it is expected that the 5,000 Shu captives will not be able to defend for three days. ”

"At that time, not only Longyou will be saved, but also the Shu army of Longyou will be destroyed."

Cao Zhen glanced up at Wei Zhen, and then commanded, "Come on, send King Yang down to rest first." ”

After Yang Fu left, he said with some embarrassment, "I didn't know that the opportunity was rare. It's just that although Yang Servant is an old man, he can't be fully believed based on his words alone, so you have to be careful. ”

"General, Zhuge Liang personally led the army in Longyou, even if it was counted from the day we came to Gudao County, someone sent him news, and he led the army to come over, and it would take at least half a month during the period."

"Unless Zhuge Liang expected that we would enter Wudu by Chencang Road, and immediately lead the army back after breaking Ji County, he would never be able to come here in a hurry. The remaining Shu captives are not enough in number, so why are we afraid? ”

"It's been eight days, and we have seven days left. The terrain of this Hechi Pass is dangerous, and the guard on the opposite side is Zhao Yun, so we may not be able to go down in seven days. ”

"Why don't the soldiers divide into two ways, stay here all the way to watch Zhao Yun, go all the way to the southwest, and argue with the strong end. There are two places in the river pond and the next debate, as long as the next one is broken, then the big thing will be done! ”

Cao Zhen was already a little moved, but now when he heard Wei Zhen's words, he thought to himself, there is indeed some truth in this, as long as the Shu army of Longyou does not come back in time, Liao Liao has thousands of Shu captives, what is the army afraid of ambush?

Even if this trip can't be attacked, it can force Shulu's Longyou army to turn back.

More importantly, he participated in the battle of the lower debate back then, and knew that the terrain of the lower debate was far less dangerous than the river, otherwise Zhang Fei would not have dared to threaten to garrison troops to fortify the mountain and cut off the back road of the debate.

Thinking about Zhuge Liang, but a village husband, I was defending back then, Ma Chao and Zhang Fei and other figures, would I still be afraid of a village husband? Let's see how I can break this army of Shu again!

At this thought, he finally nodded, "That's it." I will divide you with 20,000 people, and you must be careful along the way. ”

"The Hu people are mostly a rabble, if it is advantageous, they will rush up, and if it is not profitable, they will scatter, and the matter of breaking the enemy can only believe in themselves, and cannot be entrusted to the Hu people. Also, there are many dangerous roads in Wudu, and the army is moving forward, remember to send a lot of sentinels. ”

Cao Zhen carefully admonished again.

"The last general understands!"

Wei Zhen said overjoyed.

Everything that happened in Wudu, Feng Yong, who was far away on Guan Mountain, naturally didn't know.

Now he is like a deaf and blind man.

After losing nearly ten night hunters, he still couldn't confirm the exact number of Cao Jun in Wangxian County, which made Feng Yong feel at ease, and in the end, he had no choice but to order the Night Battalion to closely monitor every move of Cao Jun in Wangxian County.

It's just that the person sent to deliver the letter to Zhuge Liang has never returned, which makes Feng Yong a little suspicious, this shouldn't be, even if he can't find where Zhuge Old Demon is, the messenger should at least send a message back!

Could it be that something happened to Longyou?

This shouldn't be, if there is an accident in Longyou, Jufu, who leads 3,000 people to garrison Jicheng, will definitely transmit the news according to the method agreed in advance.

"General, early this morning, another batch of Cao troops from Wangxian County have entered the city."

Wang Han has been very hard these days, running up and down the mountains, sometimes he has to go back and forth a day.

"How many?"

Feng Yong handed over a bowl of water and asked.

"Three thousand, the last will personally count it."

Wang Han gasped and finished speaking, and then drank it with a clatter.

"If there were 30,000 Cao thieves in the original city, plus those who entered the city these days, there should be almost 50,000, right?" Feng Yong was a little confused, "Could it be that I guessed wrong?" ”

In the battle of the street pavilion in history, everyone was praising Zhang He's lightning speed, could it be blown out?

"These days, the last general has already completed the renovation of the Guancheng, even if there are really 50,000 people, they don't want to easily capture Longguan, why should the general worry?"

Zhang Wei said on the side.

The pass is not flat ground, and if a few hundred people can come up to attack the city at a time, it is already crowded. 50,000 people attacked the city, that is, Zhang He divided the people into 100 teams and took turns, and if he wanted to drag himself down, there was no need to worry.

Now there are 3,000 people in Guancheng, there are 3,000 people from Wang Ping on the top of Guanshan, and 4,000 people in the valley behind Guancheng, ready to respond at any time, and I don't know who will collapse first when the time comes!

Knowing that there are nearly 50,000 people in the city now, Feng Yong was a little relieved.

As long as Zhang He didn't send someone to Chencang's side, the people in Cao Zhen's hands plus the people brought by Cao Rui would be able to enter Wudu at most, and Old Man Zhao would lead 20,000 people to guard Hanzhong, what are you afraid of?

At that time, it is not certain who will cut off who's back road.

Thinking of this, Feng Yong became suspicious again, could it be that Cao Wei was waiting for the arrival of the people in the Kanto region and preparing to fight a war of attrition?

If this is the case, when Cao Rui knew that the grain in Guanzhong had been hollowed out by wool in the past few years, he didn't know what his face was?

Feng Yong smiled: Xiahou Nan, who was originally stationed in Chang'an, likes money and is good at managing family property, but he has been eating a lot of oil in the past few years, but I don't know how much food he can lose by then?
