"Report, Prince Qiyu, now the enemy outside the city has killed the grassland, expelled the herdsmen and approached outside the royal city, the enemy army is now coming with a great victory, the morale of the army is extremely high, and the situation is extremely critical!"

Only when Prince Xiqiang was filled with righteous indignation, a young general of the city defense guard quickly rushed into the main hall after communicating to the guards of the forbidden army, and his face was hurried, and he quickly knelt on the ground and bowed his hand.

"Huh?"

"Report ......"

"Prince Qiyu, now the enemy cavalry has broken into the royal city, is killing the palace city, although our army guards are desperately resisting, but the enemy's combat strength is extremely strong, invincible, the sergeants are difficult to resist, and now they are about to collapse!"

"The general ordered the general to hurriedly inform the prince and escort you to transfer the royal city, and after breaking through to the west, once again call on the Qiang tribes to help, regain strength, and once again join forces with the prime minister to recapture the royal city, and kill all the enemy thieves."

It's a pity that the people in the palace didn't even have the slightest time to be surprised in the last battle report, and another military information suddenly arrived like a thunderbolt from the sky.

As soon as this voice fell, Prince Xiqiang looked incredulous, and then roared again and again: "This ...... How so? ”

"The walls of the royal city are thick, the city defense is as solid as a rock, and the Shu thieves are only more than a thousand knights, how can they break the city so quickly?"

For a while, not only was he stunned, but many courtiers were also half-dead and couldn't figure it out, the combat power of the Shu army was so strong?

How could Guan Ping's methods be so outstanding?

"Hahaha! Little prince, take a look, what did Weichen say, the Shu army is so strong, even a strong city like Wangcheng can't stop its attack, how can our army stop it? ”

"If the little prince wants to live, he should immediately send Weichen out of the city to meet the Shu general Guan Ping Prince Chenming, your heart of understanding the current affairs, and then supplemented by the minister's understanding of reason, moving with affection, presumably General Guan will also accept our surrender in order to reduce losses."

"At that time, the prince you have the merit of dedicating the city, and the Shu army will not only not hurt you, but will also settle you as an example, so that not only the prince's body has been preserved, but the people of the whole city can also be protected from the suffering of war, so why not?"

All of a sudden, hearing that the Shu army was so powerful, it quickly attacked the royal city, and the Qiang ministers became more and more excited, laughed a few times, and strengthened their will to surrender.

When he said this, he also hoped that Prince Xiqiang would understand the current affairs and blame him for his life instead of anger.

In a word.

But he didn't expect that because of these words, Prince Xiqiang became more and more angry, his face was gloomy again, and he shouted: "Thief, you who eat inside and outside, for your own safety, you disregard the interests of the country, ignore the favor of King Qiang for you, and so bewitch the army before the war, how can I spare you?" ”

"Huh!"

With a sword slash, the throat of the Qiang minister suddenly flowed with blood.

"You...... You ......"

He seemed to want to roar a few words with blood, but in the end he was powerless to fall, leaving only a face full of resentment.

In the next second, the prince who was standing on the spot with a blood-dripping sword still showed indifference when he saw this, and he didn't look at it at all, and spit saliva straight into his face, and said coldly: "Such a villain, he is innocent of death!" ”

After that, he looked around, his eyes were indifferent, and he said lightly: "From this moment on, if there are any more people who disturb the morale of the army, there will be no mercy." ”

At the first order, the ministers in the palace were almost everyone in danger, and looked at this young man, who was only sixteen years old, as if they felt the fear coming from hell.

This son is almost suffocating in his ruthlessness, even more than his father!

Seeing that everyone was already trembling, Prince Xiqiang slowed down his expression, and then shouted loudly to the generals of the city defense army: "Wait for the order to go and pass the order quickly, and order all the departments to gather in the palace, today I will personally control the royal city, and fight to the last person, and I will let the Shu thieves see how magnificent my Daqiang Erlang's military might is!" ”

"People in the city in the ......"

"Prince, this ......"

It's just that this sentence was directly interrupted by Prince Xiqiang's wave, and he shouted: "Needless to say, the execution is." ”

"Obey ......"

……

All around the royal city.

At this time, as the Qiang and Han knights entered the city one after another, the Wangcheng patrol army was also demoralized, and was crushed and expelled, so they had to flee in all directions.

The streets of the city are now empty, and the enemy army has broken the city, which shows that the days of Xiqiang's rule have come to an end, and some wealthy families have begun to think of the back road at this time, so they have gathered their servants to protect them and live in the houses and are not allowed to go out.

So as not to clash with the Han army and cause extraneous branches!

In general, the situation seems to have betrayed all the people and come to an end.

In front of a dwelling.

Guan Ping dragged a blood-dripping sword, wore a navy blue robe, wore a green scarf on his head, and the racing horse with his crotch as white as snow and his hooves was full of energy.

At a glance, his eight-foot body is also extremely brave and majestic, and he really has the momentum of his father when he was in the prime of life.

If it weren't for the fact that the divine horse under the crotch was too conspicuous, Guan Yu, Guan Ping, father and son were standing together, and it would be really difficult for ordinary people to identify them.

Guan Pingguo has the wind of being a father, and this is true!

After a while, he pulled the reins, suddenly opened his eyes slightly and looked at the surrounding houses, took a look, and couldn't help but say seriously: "This area should be all people's houses, but now it is terrifyingly quiet, it seems that all the wealthy families, dignitaries and dignitaries in the city are very aware of current affairs." ”

"Knowing that our army's destruction of the city is already like a bamboo, and the fall of the Xiqiang King City is just around the corner, now he is so decisively shrinking his servants and sticking to his home to sit and watch the changes."

"It seems that these people are really good, and they are all scheming."

Observing the half-sound, Guan Ping muttered.

But his expression was half happy and half sad, a little depressed, Liu Jia, who was guarding him at any time, saw his face change, and couldn't help asking: "Young General, ...... are you?" ”

"I originally hoped that after the city was broken, all the wealthy clans, dignitaries and dignitaries in the city would unanimously contribute to protect the royal city, so that our army would have an excuse to take the opportunity to loot the family wealth of the wealthy clans to replenish military funds, but now they are so acquainted with each other, sitting and watching the changes do not help the Xiqiang Kingdom, this matter is tricky at this time."

Hearing this, Guan Ping turned his head and glanced at him, and then explained slowly.

When he borrowed the Qiangqi territory on the way to the royal city this time, he fought with a time difference, so he attacked with light horses, and the dry food carried by the whole army was enough for the attack.

But if he takes the royal city, for the sake of the overall situation, he will definitely not give up Linqiang easily.

Because Linqiang is connected to the land of Hexi, it can be directly connected to the county of Wuwei County from the Hexi Corridor to the west, and the connection with several counties in Hexi can be opened.

If you can take the opportunity to get acquainted with some of the Qiangdi tribes in Hexi, it will have more advantages for the next Liangzhou Longyou and Longxi wars.

This is also the key to Guan Ping's insistence on taking the royal city by surprise.

But Guan Ping also knew very well that there would be a huge problem in terms of food supply for his own light equipment, so from the very beginning, he thought that once the city was broken, as long as it was found that the wealthy clans assisted the Qiang people in defending the city, they would be punished for the crime of collaborating with the enemy, and the family assets of various families would be collected and scraped to replenish military funds, so as to achieve the purpose of supporting the war with war.

But he didn't expect that all the wealthy families in the royal city were all old and sophisticated, and they all sat back and watched the changes, which made Guan Ping a little embarrassed.

"This group of old foxes, if they are really scheming, what should we do next?"

Thinking for a while, Guan Ping secretly pondered.

Yi Xi explained that although Liu Jia had only followed Guan Ping for nearly a year, he also understood that he didn't ask anymore when he got along with him day and night.

just smiled, feeling that his own major general's plan was really not simple!

"It seems that it was really the right way out for me to lead the people to join the Han army, and if the major general is here, the revival of the Han Dynasty may no longer be a luxury."

At this moment, Liu Jia was also secretly thinking about it in his heart.

Half-loud kung fu.

Zhao Tong, who was leading the crowd to fight in front, suddenly rushed to the horse with a gun at this time, with an eager look on his face, and said: "Brother Qiqi, all parts of our army are scattered around, and now we have defeated the remnants of the enemy, cleared the hidden dangers in the city, and controlled the whole city. ”

"Good!"

"It's just that the Qiang thief city defense army that has fled has been collected by the enemy army and gathered in the forbidden army to gather in Miyagi, one of them is wearing gorgeous gold armor must also be a prominent person, according to this, it seems that the Qiang thief is preparing to defend Miyagi, and on the other hand, he sent the dead to break through the siege to report to Yadan to return to the defense."

For a while, Zhao Tong did not delay, and told the current military situation in an instant.

"Oh?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a hint of surprise on the pass, and then he said in a deep voice: "Our army has been like a broken bamboo all the way, and it was easy to break through the royal city, I thought that the Qiang people should lose their sharpness and fighting spirit, and urgently transferred to the west to lead the crowd to retain their vitality." ”

"But...... This ......"

However, the surprised kung fu was just this moment, and in the next second, he regained his composure, and shouted loudly: "Order all departments, quickly move closer to the palace city and surround the four directions, be sure to set up layers of vigilance, and must not let the thieves and dead soldiers break out!" ”

"No!"

When the order was passed, Zhao Tong dared to be lazy, and hurriedly rode forward to pass the order.

……

Naman County.

The city of Elm, where the border is located.

Within the government office.

At this time, Cao General Guo Huai was standing in a battle robe, occupying the main position, discussing the military situation with the generals who gathered together.

After the decision of the main general Xiahou Nan and the coalition forces of the Qianghu tribes reached an agreement, they divided their troops and marched, and Guo Huai's troops marched straight to Nan'an from Tianshui County in the northwest of Longxi.

It took about two days of effort, and Guo Huai stationed his troops in the important town of Yuzhong.

Seeing Guo Huai concentrating, staring at the map hanging on the screen for a while, he looked back at the generals and shouted: "Everyone, the general has been watching for a long time, but he has a different idea about the current situation, if he can try it once he succeeds, it will be even more advantageous for our army in the battle of Longxi!" ”

A seat fell.

All the generals in the hall hesitated slightly, as if they hadn't reacted yet, only Han De thought for a moment, and then asked: "What does Guo Sima mean to go straight to Hexi, instead of continuing to move west to Di Dao and General Xiahou to join forces to fight a decisive battle with the Shu army and the Baima Zhuqiang tribe?" ”

As soon as these words fell, another Cao Jiang stood up and said sharply: "Straight into Hexi? ”

"This ...... How is this possible, according to the intelligence in recent days, since Burndangqiang refused the request to join forces with our army, the chieftain of Burndang took the opportunity to take the opportunity to enter several counties in Hexi along the Hexi Corridor. ”

"Due to the large number of forces in Hexi, the situation is complicated, and they are also attacking each other one after another, as soon as the burning dang enters the situation, it is like a one-sided situation, and now it is reported that the various horse gang forces around Wuwei and Zhangye have been attached to the burning dang."

When these words fell, this Cao general also had some vision, so he said with a worried face: "The last general is worried that if our army enters Hexi, will Burning Dangqiang mistakenly think that our army will seize the fruits of their victory and make a move?" ”

In a word.

The house also began to be hotly discussed, and all parties gathered to discuss it.

"Yes, now the strength of burning dang should not be underestimated, if it is changed in normal times, our army is naturally not afraid of the small burning dangqiang, but now it is at the time of the great changes in Liangzhou, if our army suddenly fights against burning dang and erects a strong enemy, wouldn't it push it to the side of the Shu army?"

"This strategy will be inappropriate in the end!"

"Indeed, I think it's better to converge with General Xiahou and the Zhuqianghu coalition army to the west, and completely eradicate the scourge of Guanping in one battle."

For a while, each will express his own opinions and discuss his own opinions.

Wait quietly for half a ring.

Seeing that the generals' discussion gradually disappeared, Guo Huai coughed to show that everyone was quiet, and then pointed to the map and said: "Just now, the general also listened to some of your opinions, and roughly understood what you meant, that is, I am worried that our army will fight with Burning Dangqiang. ”

As soon as these words fell, Guo Huai smiled and chuckled: "But this matter will have been considered a long time ago, if our army wants to break the deadlock of the decisive battle of Di Dao, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the decisive battle alone, and the only way to open up the battle situation in Hexi is to open up the Hexi war!" ”

"As for burning Dangqiang, our army only needs to follow it and march behind, wouldn't it be more convenient for them to attack for our army when they attack the city, and why not do it if they can preserve their strength?"

"After all, I waited to enter Hexi only to recover the forces of all parties for my own use, to make a big momentum, and to threaten the Shu army from the west, so as to create a decisive opportunity for General Xiahou's main army."

"And the territory of Hexi is not important, burn it as a thief and take it if you want, after our army has completely digested the power of the various departments in Hexi and gained a foothold, is it still difficult to recover several counties in Hexi?"

"Moreover, now that there are thieves to deal with the indigenous forces in Hexi, the more persecuted they are, the greater the chance of our army recovering!"

At this point, Guo Huai's words changed, and then he turned to analyze the disadvantages of moving south closer to Di Dao, and said: "If our army is close to Di Dao, it is nothing more than adding thousands of military strength, and how much can it change the situation of the war?" ”

"However, after recovering Hexi, it can pose a threat to the Shu army from the west."

"To be honest, Ben Jiang is still worried that the Shu army will enter Liangzhou first."

At the end of the words, Guo Huai also looked worried and said slowly.

"The Shu army entered Hexi?"

"No, now our army can have the upper hand on the Di Dao side?"

Hearing this, Han De showed a look of disbelief on his face, and said loudly: "In this case, the Shu thief also has the strength to enter Hexi?" ”

"Haha."

Hearing this, Guo Huai laughed, then showed a serious look on his face, and said sharply: "Brother Han, never despise the enemy generals you are facing, not to mention, since Guan Ping became famous, his achievements are outstanding, although the battle seems to be dangerous, but it can have miraculous effects every time, and he can be a victorious general!" ”

"Against such a person, we must pay attention to it, and we must not despise it, otherwise we will inevitably suffer a big loss."

For a while, Guo Huai sighed, said again and again, and then said in a deep voice: "Moreover, the rest of the Shu generals may not enter Liangzhou in the face of this situation, but Guan Ping is really hard to say......

"This man never plays cards according to common sense when he uses soldiers......"
