Now the situation is really a bit tricky, although the Ma Chaoqiang people are divided into two ways, but it is different from the battle of Salhu at the end of the Ming Dynasty, regardless of whether the Liangzhou army or the Qiang people have more cavalry, but the Cao Han army has more infantry, it is very likely that the two thieves will join forces all the way, and it is very likely that there are more roads than Wang Houjun!

The terrain is also particularly unfavorable to Chang'an, Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu to accommodate the Qiang people into the Loess Plateau is a mistake, the intersection of the Guanzhong Plain and the Loess Plateau, the terrain is broken and tortuous, I don't know how many checkpoints can directly kill into the Guanzhong Plain, there is no way to defend according to the danger.

On the other end, Liangzhou is also a long and narrow Hexi corridor, which goes straight to the Guanzhong Plain from the channel, and it is not easy to guard that end.

However, fortunately, when developing Guanzhong, Wang Hou's contraction strategy was considered to have achieved some results, and all the population that could be controlled by Beidi, Xihe, Longxi and other counties was moved, and all the 100,000 people in the control area were gathered near Chang'an and Weinan, and the defense area was also reduced a lot, so that the overall defense difficulty of Guanzhong was reduced a lot.

"The best way is to clear the wilderness, collect the people in Chang'an, and the cavalry of the group to resist the horse thieves and thieves only need to be on guard for a month or two, and the two thieves will definitely run out of food and retreat!"

"But! The prime minister sent us not to shrink back to defend, but to pacify the thieves! If it is a passive defense, the villages and houses built in the fields this year have been destroyed by the fire, not to mention, the military and civilians in Guanzhong have no confidence in us, and they may not be able to recover the scenery of Chang'an in ten years, so the general still feels that he is using the risk to face the battle! ”

"General Xiahou, what do you think?"

It's still a battle of Hefei, Zhang Liao, Li Dianle, and the five generals defend the city, Xiahou Yuan's qualifications are much older than Wang Hou, don't look at his official status, but he also takes care of Xiahou Yuan's face, and when he said his thoughts, Wang Hou sincerely asked what he meant.

It is estimated that Cao Cao secretly explained when he left Guanzhong, and Wang Hou also gave face, but Xiahou Yuan cooperated and nodded the bearded head melon seeds.

"Every time there is a big war, Wang Cangling can arrange the food for logistics well, follow you, my old Xiahou has also fought a few comfortable battles, and a certain family serves you with this head melon seed, so you can take the idea! Specifically, how to fight, let's fight! ”

"I will take the Liaodong Cavalry Regiment and the Liaodi Mixed Brigade to strike first! Enter the Qiang land and defeat the Qiang people in the mountain canyon of the 800-mile Banhuang Land! General Xiahou, your troops went out of Chang'an, and the army was overpowered, and 150,000 stones of grain were stored in Chang'an, and 80,000 altars of oil were also transported here, so as to use this as bait, if the horse thief arrived, he would be entangled in the battle! Our light army defeated the Qiang people, and immediately returned to the army to support the general! ”

"In addition, there are two tips for General Xiahou!"

This precaution is self-evident! Where is Sima Yi's swollen eyes looking there, Wang Hou whispered and muttered quickly close to his ear, and talked for more than a minute, but Xiahou Yuan, who listened, was half convinced and half suspicious, first glanced at Sima Yi, who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face and pretending to be innocent, and then lowered his voice and asked rhetorically.

"Does this dragon team really have this miraculous effect?"

"When the time comes, the general will know if he tries it!"

At the mention of this, Wang Hou smiled quite confidently, and then his eyes were crooked, and he fell on Sima Yi.

"Zhongda, take your personal soldiers and go out with Ben General!"

"Uh......, General, the subordinate "encountered bandits"! Seriously wounded, I am afraid that the army may drag down the march of the army! ”

"It's okay, I have a lot of horses, and I really need Zhongda to help take care of logistics! Zhongda won't say yes, right? ”

To tell the truth, Wang Houzhen is different from any gate general he knows, Sima Yi is really afraid that Wang Hou, the old rascal, will send him to charge with the cavalry, and then arrange for him to "die heroically", but he has no foundation in Guanzhong now, listening to Wang Hou's tone gradually gloomy, the old pretending to beep is afraid that Wang Hou will disobey the military order and push him out of the gate and behead him, in desperation, the dignified Sima Yi has to clench his fists and bow heavily.

"Obey orders!"

Sima Yi also had to come, when Guanzhong was fine, he was sick in Hanoi County, but if Chang'an fell, he didn't even face the Yongzhou assassin, that would be a dereliction of duty, dismissal and imprisonment would be light, and even Wang Hou could put the blame on him, that is, beheading and copying his family!

Although this old man is not a good stubble, he rushed over in a hurry, and did not let the Qiang and Liangzhou Ma Chao coalition forces hit Chang'an at the door before they reacted, which can be regarded as fighting for some strategic advantages for Wang Hou.

The entire Jingzhaoyin area was made up, and the grain in Guanzhong could not be transported in, but a lot of weapons were transported in through various channels, and most of the tenant farmers in Jingzhaoyin Tuntian were prisoners of the soldiers in Guanxi, which could be regarded as a combination of soldiers and peasants.

Then there are more than 3,000 naturalized Xianbei people who are now also playing a role, as landlords, they need to serve in the military, and they are all assembled under an order, their task is to concentrate support, once a village is attacked by Liangzhou stragglers, they will break the siege and counterattack as quickly as possible, and once they fight with Ma Chao, they also have to act as a task to support the copy.

However, the command of this precious cavalry was handed over by Wang Hou to the general Chengyin candidate.

On the one hand, there is no doubt about employing people, on the other hand, Wang Hou also knocked on the two of them before leaving!

If it is against the water, it is best for them to restore the status of the warlord of Longxi Jincheng, and they have become the death place of Kwantung, and there is no way back, but if they perform well in this defensive battle, they can be fully accepted into the Liaodong system, although they are no longer the emperor of the soil, but they can also have a lord and land, and maintain the identity of a person and a master.

After a great defeat in Weinan, his subordinates led the naturalized Xianbei cavalry, and there is such a comparison, these two Guanzhong generals can be regarded as dedicated when they are preparing for defense.

Chang'an City suffered again, Xiahou Yuan had many infantry, no more than eight hundred, with an infantry group against the light cavalry group in Liangzhou, must rely on fortifications to defend, many of the Hou Mansion of the Han nobles were also demolished, the heavy beams and pillars and even the gate board and bed board were transported to the Bashang by the Cao army infantry, and the fence Luzhai wooden building was built on the spot.

Lun Zhi is not idle here, since Zhang Lu sent someone to inform the chaos in Sichuan, then he naturally has some ideas about the competition between the two Liu in Yizhou, but now Wang Hou himself is also at risk of chrysanthemums being exploded, and he can't send troops, so he can only rely on his own mine and sponsor Zhang Lu with materials.

In front of Pingyang Pass, the old man crawled to the front of the pass again tired and panting, and after the report, after a while, Zhang Wei, the general of Hanzhong, came out with a hundred or so cavalry, and walked around the 1,000 ox carts brought by Lunzhi, more than 2,000 strong men wearing homespun clothes, and this goods were full of disdain and sneered.

"My brother aided 300,000 stone grains in Ruguanzhong, and when the soldiers arrived, Ruguanzhong would take such thousands of crooked melons and cracked dates to deal with it! What a righteousness! ”

didn't talk nonsense with him, he casually carried a crowbar, and pried open the wooden box pulled in the car with a bang, the straw was coated with lard for maintenance, and the shiny high-grade turtle shell plate armor was thrown at Zhang Wei's feet like garbage.

Prying open more than a dozen mouths in a row, it was either a brand new plate armor used, or a sharp halberd horizontal knife, when Lun was about to pry the eleventh box, this Zhang Wei's face had completely changed, and he quickly pressed his hand with a smile.

"The little one has eyes and no beads, Daddy! This way, please! Come! Don't order Guanzhong to cook and entertain Lun's father! Cook Ben's best tea! ”

These days, arms dealers are so arrogant! Holding his head high, he proudly looked like Iron Man, and with the steps of not recognizing his six relatives, Lun Lao was invited into Pingyang Guanzhong.

Among the several large armies, the earliest one to set off was Wang Hou, Liaodong Hudi Duoma, 6,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry, one person carried seven days of dry food, all on horseback! Taking advantage of the night that day, the elite soldiers of Liaodong had already taken the lead in marching north!

I didn't stay in Chang'an to make some trouble, and I had to worry about my head, Sima Lao Thief was obviously absent-minded, and his lips were slashed like sausages as the war horse was bumping!

Riding a horse and running beside him, he hadn't been so enthusiastic for a long time, carrying the reins of the horse with both hands, aiming at the leading cavalry carrying a lantern in front, Wang Hou's own eyes were full of coldness!

"My lord! The Huangtou Dam ahead has arrived! ”

"Entering the plain!"
