Many generals in Xiliang have no twists and turns in their heads, and when they hear Ma Chao say this, they are indeed reasonable.

What we need to do now is to stabilize the morale of our subordinate soldiers, concentrate on capturing Chencang, and occupy the west gate of Guanzhong.

At the moment when the sun rose, Ma Chao led his subordinates to take the lead, followed by more than 400,000 Xiliang coalition troops and no less than 50,000 cavalry, rushing to Longguan.

Garrisoned in Longguan were Pound's subordinate soldiers.

Ma Chao thought about it, Zhang Guang's subordinates also have a lot of Xiliang people, if they know the path from Yanxian to Longguan and send cavalry to capture Longguan, then the more than 400,000 Xiliang coalition troops will be covered by Zhang Guang.

"Pang De, you lead all the soldiers under your command to garrison Longguan, and you must not let Longguan lose like a scattered pass."

"Understood!"

After last night's blood boiling, they were dispersed before they started, Pang De and the others also came to their senses, Zhang Guang was not so incompetent as Ma Teng said.

It's also a good thing that I can stay in the rear and not go out to work hard.

The capture of Sanguan is, of course, Zhang Guang's masterpiece.

After leaving more than 1,000 people in Yixian, Zhang Guang asked Li Hao not to follow him into Chencang, but went south directly and attacked Sanguan overnight.

Li Hao's siege department is good at attacking fortifications.

After a few rounds of fireballs, thousands of cavalry and 10,000 lightly armored siege soldiers directly began to rush and kill, and they were so frightened that Zhang Heng's subordinates who were guarding Sanguan gave up Sanguan before they started fighting.

"General Li, they ran south, what should I do?" There will be a ministry to report to Li Hao.

"Kill, don't leave one, let the cavalry chase and kill, damn, unite a group of rabble and dare to fight the Ninth Legion, really treat us as sick cats."

After seizing Sanguan, Li Hao's 30,000 people stayed near Sanguan, and with the help of Sanguan's geographical advantages, they set up camp and built fortifications, which could not destroy you Zhang Heng for the time being, and it was always okay to scare you.

After Zhang Heng entered Wudu, only 3,000 people were left behind to garrison Sanguan.

He was very ambitious, that is, when the Xiliang coalition army began to attack Chencang, he concentrated his forces to capture Pingyang Pass and take Hanzhong directly.

Zhang Heng's ambition is to take the opportunity to seize Hanzhong and be his own king of Hanzhong, regardless of whether your Xiliang coalition army wants to drive away Zhang Guang or kill Zhang Guang.

What Zhang Heng never dreamed of was that before the Xiliang coalition army began to attack Chencang, Zhang Guang's subordinates came to attack Sanguan.

Zhang Heng scolded Zhang Guang countless times in his heart, if you don't fight hundreds of thousands of Xiliang Coalition troops, what are you provoking me Zhang Heng to fight?

scolded Zhang Guang and Ma Teng, what kind of horse owner do you call yourself?

Everyone has begun to attack me and disperse the pass, and your Xiliang coalition army has not even seen a shadow.

Scolding and scolding, Sanguan still has to be guarded, leaving more than 10,000 soldiers to garrison Fu County, and he personally led 10,000 elite cavalry to quickly go north and rush to Sanguan.

No matter how fast the elite cavalry was, when they arrived at Sanguan, it was already the moon and the stars.

The battle flag of the "Ninth Legion" has been fluttered on Sanguan, and many soldiers of the Ninth Army have just killed all of Zhang Heng's subordinates who fled to Wudu County and withdrawn to Sanguan.

Zhang Heng looked at Li Hao's subordinates who were all in bronze armor and the horses under him were flying fast, and his heart trembled.

These people are even more fierce than Lao Tzu's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and Lao Tzu's guards have already given up on scattering the pass, and you still have to hunt down Qingshuang.

After sending people to deliver letters to Longxian, Zhang Heng completely gave up Sanguan, retreated to Fuxian, and began to think about whether to continue to advance eastward to seize Hanzhong, or retreat to Qiangdao to preserve his strength.

"General Zhang, how many people are under Zhang Guang's hands? After a pass, so many people came, definitely no less than 30,000, and they didn't leave when they got up. ”

"From this point of view, Zhang Guang's subordinates are not only the 100,000 people Ma Teng said, he just brought all the 100,000 soldiers and horses to Chencang, and he will not put all 30,000 people in Sanguan."

"I estimate that Zhang Guang's subordinates are definitely not less than 400,000, otherwise, he brought so many people to Chencang, how could he divide his troops to defend the east, north and Hanzhong?"

Zhang Heng was already annoyed because he was rounded, and he was even more unhappy to be called out by these soldiers under his subordinates.

"Talk about the hell, how do I know how many people Zhang Guang's subordinates are? Our task is to garrison Fu County, and leave the rest to Ma Teng's father and son. ”

In fact, Ma Teng did not lie about Zhang Guang's soldiers and horses.

The largest number of people was Li Hao's siege department, which was organized into 30,000 people after removing odds.

Next, there are the subordinates of Hanzhong Dadaoniu, who are organized into 20,000 people.

Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army and Huangyan's Melee Department were stationed at the west gates of Chencang and other places, each with more than 10,000 people.

Zhao Zilong's flying dragon department has more than 10,000 people.

Zhang He's soldiers were organized into more than 10,000 people.

Li Wei's Xiliang Iron Cavalry was reorganized into 10,000 people.

Du Jun's subordinates are currently only 10,000 people.

Ganning's special operations department was reorganized with 20,000 people.

Tai Shici's bow and arrow department is worthy of 10,000 people.

Xu Shu's army was temporarily put together by some soldiers from various departments.

Not counting Dian Wei's guard army and Yan Liang's Yan Zi department, the military strength that Zhang Guang can call on now is less than 150,000 people.

Zhang Guang led the garrison of Chencang to be Huangyan's melee department, Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army, and Tai Shici's bow and arrow department, which were full of less than 50,000.

Meanwhile.

Wang Yi, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao, led 20,000 soldiers of the Special Operations Department, and as soon as they arrived at Gukou, they met Gan Ning, who rushed back to Chang'an.

"Wang Yi, are you sure that the lord just took Li Hao and Tai Shici to Chencang?" Gan Ning repeatedly confirmed the military orders brought by Wang Yi.

"That's right, this is a military order announced by the lord in public."

"It seems that the real enemy of our Ninth Legion this time is not Ma Teng's Xiliang Coalition Army. Wang Yi and Ma Teng basically gathered all the troops that could be used in Liangzhou to Hanyang, and in the north of Liangzhou, there were basically only a few hundred old, weak, sick and disabled people stationed in each county. ”

"Okay, I'll bring this news back to Chang'an, and the three of you hurry up and cross Longshan."

Gan Ning looked at Gao Shun and Zhang Liao and said something.

"You two talk, Zhang Liao, let's go, let's go over there and have a look."

"General Gan Ning, is it a matter of military intelligence? If it is a matter of military intelligence, the lord said that there is no need to avoid General Gao Shun and General Zhang Liao. Wang Yi pulled back Gao Shun and Zhang Liao.

"Okay, then I'll make it clear, now that there are no garrisons in Liangzhou, we are attacking everywhere, and at most we can only put some pressure on Ma Teng, but the lord has 70,000 troops against more than 40 Xiliang coalition troops, and the pressure is definitely greater than that of Ma Teng."

"And with Ma Teng's prestige in Liangzhou, if we can't fight quickly, there will be more Qiang people in Hanyang and Wudu to participate in the war, which is very unfavorable to us."

"So, I'm thinking, after crossing Longshan, Gao Shun and General Zhang Liao divided their troops to the north, and I led 10,000 soldiers of the Special Operations Department to the south to attack the cities of Hanyang from their rear, completely cutting off their back route."

Wang Yi thought about it again and again, and saw that Gao Shun and Zhang Liao had no objections, and said their thoughts.
