Chapter 364: Stubbornness
After a rush, the knights of the Han army successfully broke out of the encirclement by virtue of Guan Ping's strong generals and Pang De's response to the Cao army, and galloped towards Longxi.
The reason why the Han army broke through from Longxi was also because the current Qiang Dao side may have been reoccupied by the Western Qiang division that had returned to the reinforcements, and if it returned, it would be tantamount to throwing itself into the net.
On the way to gallop, all the generals looked at the main general Guan Ping with reverent squint eyes, and after a while, Zhang Bao couldn't help but smile and said: "The eldest brother is really wise and brave, and then he moves, this time the Cao army set up an ambush to hunt our army in Xiabi City, and the younger brother thought that this time he was going to die here to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, but he didn't expect that the elder brother had already left a back hand to arrange for General Ling Ming to respond later." ”
As soon as these words fell, Zhang Bao's eyes were full of reverence.
The words fell here, and the rest such as Guan Xing and Guan Suo were the same, during which Guan Suo was full of doubts, and couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Big brother, when did you send General Ming to break away from the main force, why don't I know the news at all?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Tong, the young general beside Pang De, smiled and explained softly: "When the elder brother was about thirty miles away from Xiabiancheng, he asked General Liu Jia to lead Mr. Yi to come to talk, although Mr. did not offer advice at that time, but it made the eldest brother a little more vigilant, so he secretly ordered General Ming and General Liu Jia to lead more than 100 knights to break away from the main force and follow closely, ready to respond to sudden changes at any time. ”
The voice settled.
Pang De also took over the conversation and said: "That's true, De from Liangzhou knows the complexity of the land of Longyou, not only the Cao army, but also a number of Di tribes led by Qiangduan in the mountains southwest of Xiabiancheng, if they take advantage of the chaos of the situation to get involved, it will also be a trouble, so when the major general ordered the German army to secretly break away from the main force as reinforcements, I also gladly accepted the order." ”
After they said it one by one, Guan Ping's expression at the moment was no longer full of smiles on his face, but he said with a solemn expression: "Actually, this is just a plan that I made with a little more caution, and what really surprised me was Xiahou Nan." ”
"Xiahou Nan?"
Hearing this, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao and other generals were a little puzzled.
Immediately, Liu Jia explained with a smile: "Two little generals, you may not know what you have lived in Shu for a long time, although Xiahou Nan is a child of the clan, he has no talent for commanding troops, in the battle of Xiangfan last year, the young general led the people to the north to attack Xu, and led the people to block our army in the Biyang area south of Xudu. ”
"But at that time, Xiahou Nan was vulnerable, with more than thousands of people, which was similar to the strength of our army going north at that time, but it was easily broken by the major general and captured."
"The major general is now a little surprised, why has this person grown a lot in less than a year, knowing that he has used a false way to destroy the enemy, and pretended to release the news that the whole army took Hanzhong to confuse our army, but in fact, he has already been ambushed on the front line to hunt us and others."
"What Liu Jia said is good, this is exactly what Ben Jiang is thinking about now, what has Xiahou Nan experienced in the past half a year to grow so fast."
The generals talked for a while in the gallop, and then Guan Ping showed embarrassment again, his face was a little helpless, and he couldn't help but put his cheeks and said: "It's just that our army has lost the opportunity to fail in the surprise attack now, and then the Cao army is bound to continue to recruit county soldiers to expand the garrison of various cities and block the retreat of our army back to Hanzhong or Shuzhong, if so, the situation of our army will become more and more difficult." ”
"After all, at this stage, the land of Longyou is still under the rule of Cao thief, and it has the reputation of Xiahou Yuanhu Buguanyou, and it is still relatively stable, and the land of Longxi has been carefully investigated and reported, and Guo Huai has been here for many days, and if our army enters Liangzhou, it will be like a rootless duckweed without roots, and it is very easy to suffer from the double encirclement and suppression of Cao Jun and Xiqiang State."
After these words fell, Pang De from the side also had a trace of worry on his face, and said: "The young general is worried about what he said, De is from Liangzhou, and he knows the situation in Xiliang well, and now Longyou and Longxi are under the control of the Cao army, as for the counties of Hexi, the Qiang people and the Di tribes have been attacking side by side for many years, and the situation is even more chaotic. ”
After some analysis, the joy of the generals due to the outstanding encirclement gradually faded again, and they did not expect that the road ahead would be even more difficult.
After thinking about it, Zhang Bao shook his head, swallowed his saliva and said helplessly: "Then from this point of view, our army has worked hard to cross the difficult and dangerous Yinping Ancient Road to attack the Qiang Dao, this plan is a failure, right?" ”
"It's not a failure...... Although our army did not capture the city of Xiabian to control the initiative, but successfully broke out of the siege, which was also what Cao Jun never expected, and if our army can successfully enter the land of Liangzhou, it can also give full play to the advantages of war horses and do its best to contain the military strength of Cao Jun and Xiqiang, so as to offset the pressure of Hanzhong and Shuzhong. ”
Hearing this, Guan Zhong slowly analyzed, and then said again: "Moreover, Ling Ming also mentioned just now that the Qiang people and Di people in Hexi are intricately and attacking each other, and our army may be able to participate in it, so there is no unexpected effect?" ”
When these words fell, Guan Ping was overjoyed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, the generals couldn't help but be stunned, and Guan Xingxiang asked, "Big brother has a countermeasure?" ”
"Not yet, let's gallop quickly to get rid of the chasing soldiers of the Cao army first, according to Xia Houdun's hatred for this general, presumably he will not let go of our army so easily."
As soon as these words fell, about thousands of Han knights continued to gallop along the flat avenue towards the lands of Longxi.
……
Under the debate city.
At this time, the city was filled with gunsmoke, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the layers of corpses above the wilderness were filled with the tragedy of this battle.
At this moment, Xiahou Nan Saber slowly ran out of the city to inspect under the escort of the left and right guards, and saw that the Han soldiers had all the right to escape, and couldn't help but feel full of righteous indignation, and roared angrily: "I would have spent so much effort to set up this situation to capture Guan Ping, but I didn't expect this person to be so treacherous and able to escape from such a dangerous situation." ”
After venting for a while, he suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, and pursues the west with the general, and today we must kill the Shu army and capture or kill Guan Ping." ”
As soon as this order was given, Zhang Ji, who joined the army, hurriedly came over and dissuaded him: "General Xiahou is angry, the Shu army has been defeated in this battle, Guan Ping has lost the opportunity to seize Xiabian City, our army should be poor and not chase, and it is not appropriate to cause trouble again." ”
"From a prudent point of view, I think that our army should stick to the defense of the safety of Wudu, as for the knights of the Han army, there are several horses, and our army is mostly foot soldiers, how can we pursue it?"
"It's better to send a letter to the returning Western Qiang army, so that the Qiang people can go to pursue the defeated Shu army and exterminate it, as for General Xiahou, he will vigorously recruit county soldiers to strengthen the garrison in various places, in case Guan Ping suddenly withdraws to Shuzhong, as for the general, you can choose the elite to go south along the old road to take the hinterland of Hanzhong Chuyang and Nanzheng to meet General Zhang, this is the best policy!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Ji slowly analyzed the next strategic deployment, but Xiahou Nan had long hated Guan Ping, and now that the opportunity to kill him was in front of him, how could he miss it?
"Brother Jing Zhong, the difference in this remark, as the so-called cutting grass does not remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows, now the Shu army is suddenly defeated, and the morale of the army is at a low time, it is the time when our army will annihilate it in one fell swoop, how can we let go of such an opportunity?"
"This battle will be pursued personally, and Guan Ping will be captured and returned."
"As for whether he can catch up, Brother Jing Zhong has forgotten that Guo Boji, who is heading west of Longxi, has already led the crowd to help, what will happen when the Shu army meets Guo Boji?"
It's just that Xiahou Nan was stubborn and did not listen to the advice of Zhang Ji, who joined the army, and insisted on leading the crowd to pursue in the direction of the Shu army's breakthrough.
