In the second year of Han Zhangwu, late March.

Since the Han Emperor Liu Bei personally raised a large army to cross the Qinling Mountains and leave the Qi Mountain, as the three counties of Wei responded in a group, the Han army was in full swing for a while, and there was a momentum of looking down on the world.

On the other hand, Cao Wei was frustrated at this moment, and the government and the opposition were shaken.

Above the court.

Emperor Cao Pi of Wei was even more confused, his mind could not calm down, and he was struggling to discuss countermeasures with his ministers, and Suo Xing soon received a letter sent by Cao Zhen, the general of the expedition to the west.

After seeing it, Cao Pi calmed down a little and regained the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

Cao Zhenxin said: "Shu is just a small country, although it is powerful for a while, but compared with my Great Wei, it is only a disease of ringworm after all, and the minister has been able to guard the west by His Majesty and the first king, and the minister will definitely go all out to expel the Shu thieves and recover the lost land, and I hope Your Majesty will not worry!" ”

He said this very frankly, and he was very confident in his words.

……

Since Tianshui, Nan'an and the lands west of Anding responded, in the past few days, the Han Emperor Liu Bei personally sent the generals to receive the counties and cities under his seal.

And Liu Bei personally commanded the main force and stationed in Zhongtao City, an important town in Nan'an.

At the same time as it.

Zhao Yun, who was the general of the Chinese army at the time, also led more than 3,000 people on the way to Jicheng at this moment, and he was also ordered to receive Tianshui County.

Along the way, in the fields crisscrossed on both sides, piles of people dressed in ordinary people's clothes and wrapped in hats, men, women, old and young, were working hard in the fields.

Zhao Yun sat on his crotch and was covered in snow-white, without the slightest stray hair, the good horse shining on the jade lion at night, holding a spear and squinting to the side, looking at this scene tightly, and couldn't help sighing: "Alas, the world is in such a troubled time, there are many disasters and disasters, and it is not easy for the people to eat a full meal." ”

With a sigh, he immediately ordered with a serious face: "Summoning all departments, our army is to restore the Han dynasty this time, and eliminate the treacherous and righteous army, all departments must obey the military order when marching, if there are those who disturb the people and trample on heaven and earth, they must be engaged in military law!" ”

An angry order was handed down, and the Han soldiers and soldiers once again tightened their formation, and they all raised their vigilance, fearing that the people would be severely punished if they were disturbed.

Seeing the sergeants above the avenue slowly advancing, the people below couldn't help but rejoice, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, whose army is that, the military discipline is so strict, and there is no offense against us?"

"That'...... That...... Looking at the flag, it is vaguely holding high the banner of Chinese characters, it should be the Han army, right? ”

"Han Jun? Is it Uncle Liu Huang, who was once benevolent and righteous, and is now His Majesty the Son of Heaven? ”

"Probably right?"

For a time, the people in the fields saw that the Han army did not take the opportunity to destroy the fields, but sometimes took a detour to avoid trampling on the fields and causing damage to spring ploughing.

In just a short period of time, many people's favorability towards the Han army suddenly appeared, and they praised each other.

And a series of situations here have also been discovered in a short period of time.

……

Southwest of Jicheng.

In a relatively hidden mountain col, a group of about two or three hundred people dressed in simple folk clothes, holding sticks and other wooden weapons hidden here, and one of the generals in front of them is extraordinary, star-eyed, prismatic young man, although a little younger, but it gives people a strong sense of rigor.

"Boyo, I have already found out clearly, the general who led the Han army to recover Jicheng is Changshan Zhao Zilong, one of the five tiger generals, and there are about 3,000 troops."

A moment later, a young man led several attendants wearing hats to run quickly, and said to the young man.

Hearing this, Jiang Wei smiled on his face, his lower forehead Weiwei drooped, and he couldn't help but hold his cheeks and groan: "Zhao Zilong?" ”

Immediately afterwards, the young man put the Han army in the field with strict military discipline, and did not disturb the people and trample on the fields.

After hearing this, Jiang Wei was overjoyed and praised again and again: "Uncle Liu Huang is incomparable in benevolence and righteousness, and his reputation is all over the world, and the Han army really deserves to be a teacher of benevolence and righteousness." ”

"By the way, how far is the Han army from here?"

"With the marching speed of the Han army, it should have been able to reach it in about half an hour, but now due to Zhao Yun's strict order, all the fertile fields encountered by the Han army have taken a detour, which greatly slows down the march, and it is necessary to arrive in the evening."

"Good!"

"Jiang Kui, you continue to keep an eye on the movements of the Han army, monitor every move at any time, and report to me immediately if there is any situation."

"No."

As soon as the words fell, the young man surrendered his promise and retired.

When Jiang Kui led several entourages to leave, the young people from the same township on the side couldn't help but ask: "Jiang Lang, you have great ambitions, and you have always secretly sighed that there is no place for uselessness, now that the Han army has gained the upper hand in Liangzhou, why don't you go to the anti-ambush?" ”

When the words fell, Jiang Wei glanced at him slightly, and then said with a chuckle: "Haha." Brother, you only know one thing, but I don't know the other, if I go directly to vote for it, it will inevitably be arranged at the bottom of the army, if you want to get ahead and make contributions, how long will it take? ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said again after softening his tone slightly: "But if I can set up an ambush to defeat the famous Zhao Yun and then lead the crowd to follow, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?" ”

In the evening.

The Han army, which had been marching for nearly a day, finally crossed the Liangtian District on the outskirts of Jicheng at this time.

At this moment, Zhao Yun raised his head and looked slightly at the setting sun, the sky slowly darkened, and he couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "How far is our army from Jicheng at this time?" ”

"General Qiqi Zhao, there are still more than 20 miles of land."

"It's just that according to the news heard by the informant, although Tianshui Taishou Ma Zun fled after hearing the news, but now the city gate is still closed, and it is said that the lord Bo Yinxian, Gong Cao Liangxu and other officials are still holding on."

In a word.

Zhao Yun was also a little surprised for a while, and then said: "These people are not bad, the county guards have abandoned the city and fled, and they can still hold the city. ”

With that, he ordered the whole army to continue marching, intending to rush to the city to rest and rest.

"Kill ......"

But at this moment, there was a sudden roar, and a group of people dressed in villager costumes shouted and attacked.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun's eyebrows froze, and then he said sharply: "The bandits in these realms really don't know the current affairs, you send an army to exterminate them." ”

As soon as the words fell, the deputy general from the side hurriedly received the order, and then led an army to fight hard.

The two sides fought each other.

Merely.

These hundreds of people are not even equipped with armor and weapons, how can they be the opponents of the well-trained and elite Han army?

After only a few moments of fighting, the army quickly fled.

Subsequently, the Han army also pursued relentlessly, intending to catch them all.

Because the terrain here is still relatively wide, Zhao Yun did not stop the pursuit.

When the deputy general led the crowd to chase and kill, Jiang Wei led more than 100 people to kill again and directly took the Han army.

It wasn't until he was about a stone's throw away that he stopped, and then Jiang Wei was restrained and shouted: "General Zhao, although the kid has lived in Liangzhou for a long time, he often hears about the unparalleled brave deeds of your old generals who captured the flag and are invincible, and I unconsciously admire it. ”

"The kid has a few points of strength, and now he has to see it, when he fights with the old general, I don't know if the old general is willing?"

It's just that Jiang Wei said it, but Zhao Yun promised the opportunity to shoot him.

On the way, he also shouted: "Brothers, today I am fighting with General Zhao, no matter whether you win or lose, you are not allowed to interfere." ”

With a roar, he smiled at Zhao Yun and said, "Old general, the kid has been arranged, come on!" ”

In a word, it is over.

Seeing that the young man in front of him was magnificent, eight feet long, and majestic, and had self-confidence, Zhao Yun saw this, although he showed a helpless smile on his face, but he seemed to see the shadow of his youth from this young man.

Immediately, he ordered his sergeants to stand by and stand still, while he himself waved his spear at him.

The two riders intersect.

The spears attack each other first.

"Bang."

Two spears swirled in the air, and bursts of sparks flew in all directions.

Both of them had extremely strong aura for a while.

In the middle of the competition, the two waved their guns and retreated, and then looked at each other, their eyes staring closely.

"The old general's courage is really the same as it was back then, and the kid admires it."

For a moment, Jiang Wei spoke first to break the tranquility.

Hearing this, Zhao Yun smiled and praised: "You are not bad, you are so brave at a young age, and the future martial arts road must be unlimited!" ”

But as soon as the conversation changed, he said confidently: "But at present, your marksmanship has not yet reached the realm of Dacheng, and your martial arts have not yet reached the peak stage, and you are not the opponent of the general at this time." ”

"Oh? It's too early for the old general to say this, right? ”

As he spoke, Jiang Wei swung his gun again, Zhao Yun shook his head and smiled, and then continued to kill.

"Bang bang."

For a while, the surroundings of the battlefield seemed to be dark, closely setting off the competition between the two.

After dozens of meetings in a row, the two points were actually evenly matched, and the victory or defeat was not scored.

But then, Jiang Wei gradually fell into a disadvantage, showing a trend of gradually losing ground.

This is actually too normal.

In the romance, the two of them did not score a victory or defeat in the battle, and that was only because Jiang Wei was at the peak of martial arts at that time, while Zhao Yun was already a white-haired old man over sixty years old.

Martial arts, marksmanship, strength, and reflexes have all declined dramatically.

In this way, the two were evenly matched, and in the end, Jiang Wei had the upper hand, and Zhao Yun had no choice but to retreat.

But the current situation is completely different, at this time, Zhao Yun is not over fifty years old, although he is also old, but at least the decline of martial arts is not too obvious, and Jiang Wei's martial arts are still in the growth period.

Within dozens of combinations, Jiang Wei's draw is naturally acceptable, but with the accumulation of time, Zhao Yun's rich fighting experience and skillful marksmanship are far better than Jiang Wei.

After fighting more than ten times, Jiang Wei has lost the ability to attack, so he has to support it.

The surrounding Han soldiers were a little stunned, and they discussed in unison: "This kid can do it, General Zhao is unpredictable, he has not met an opponent for many years, but he can hold on to more than 100 times without defeat, and he is really strong." ”

"Yes, yes."

The battle continued, but just as Jiang Wei was about to lose, something suddenly happened.

The hundreds of people who had just been attacked and killed were now escorted by the Han soldiers who were bound by ropes and hurriedly turned around.

Seeing this, Jiang Wei hurriedly shook a shot, turned his horse's head back into the formation, and said with a smile: "The old general's courage has not diminished back then, and the kid is not as good as the general!" ”

"But the old general, the battlefield battle is not only based on personal bravery, but also on overall planning and strategy."

Speaking of this, Jiang Wei waved his gun and pointed at the captured soldiers around him and said, "In this battle, I still won the first place." ”

Seeing that his deputy general and more than a thousand people were captured, Zhao Yun couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, obviously a little unexpected, but he still said calmly: "You are good at martial arts, and it seems that you still know how to use soldiers, but the general doesn't know, why do you want to fight against the general, and help the pseudo-Wei for the abuse?" ”

"Haha. The old general is serious, the kid is a Wei person, a strong enemy is coming, and he should defend against foreign enemies. ”

After laughing, he couldn't help but say loudly: "I hope that the old general will go back and inform Your Majesty, and he will say that there is Tianshui Jiang Boyu again, and the Han army will not think about Tianshui." ”

"If the old general insists on marching, I am afraid that he will lose the prestige of not being defeated in this life!"
