"Pass the order down, and order all departments to immediately hide in the mountains on both sides of the pavilion and let the Shu army pass."

It's just that Guo Huai thought for a long time and suddenly ordered.

This made the surrounding generals stunned, and Han De also looked puzzled, and said in surprise: "Guo Sima, ...... this?" ”

Seeing that the generals were a little puzzled, Guo Huai smiled and then quickly explained: "Don't doubt it, this general is not to let the Shu army leave, but to reduce the losses of our army and achieve the effect of surrendering the army without a fight. ”

"What did Guo Sima say about this?"

A general on the side of the pavilion couldn't help but ask.

"Just think about the terrain here, this pavilion is lined with mountains on both sides, but this official road in the middle is flat for miles, and now the Shu army has discovered our army and rushed to our army, intending to fight to the death with our army and break out of the encirclement."

"Presumably, the Shu army at this time must be high-spirited, and will definitely fight with our army with the belief that they will be born after death, you are all fierce generals who have lived in Xiliang for a long time, and you should know what the consequences will be once thousands of knights rush up on the flat ground."

Speaking of this, Guo Huai's face loosened, and he said with a smile: "Since the morale of the Shu army is booming at this stage, why don't our army use its edge?" ”

As soon as these words fell, Han De's face showed a trace of worry, and he arched his hand and said: "Guo Sima, our army has let the Shu army pass by, and Chiting can go all the way west to the Longxi Prefectures. ”

"Haha." Hearing this, Guo Huai's face was indifferent, and he chuckled: "Brother Han is too worried, the counties of Longyou and the land of Longxi are now the solid foundation of our army in Liangzhou, and even if the more than 2,000 people in Guan Ping succeed in entering Liangzhou, they will want to shake its foundation." ”

"Needless to say, the defense of Longyou County, Longxi County also ordered Fei Yao to be responsible for the garrison of various places as early as when Ben General led the people to leave, and there is no need to worry about the Shu army causing too much damage."

"Once the Shu army enters Liangzhou and gains nothing, the dry food they carry will be scarce, and at that time, our army will unite with the Western Qiang army that has re-killed the Qiang Road to completely block the main road back to Shuzhong and Hanzhong."

"At that time, no matter how deceitful Guan Ping is, there is only one way to defeat the army, wouldn't it be better than our army now facing the strong edge of the Shu army and losing its own troops?"

After some analysis, the generals gradually understood Guo Huai's intentions, and couldn't help but smile, and praised him: "Guo Sima is still thinking a lot, I can't wait!" ”

……

The journey of more than twenty or thirty miles is just a momentary effort for the knight, and I saw the main general Guan Ping galloping on his horse at this time, the big sword in his hand has already been clenched, his eyes are slightly open, and his face is serious, as if he is ready for a big battle.

As for the knights of the Han army under his command, they also held spears and prepared to fight with the Cao army.

Gradually, gradually......

More than 2,000 knights of the Han army rushed past the Chiting in an instant, and continued to run all the way to the west!

At this time, the generals of the Han army unconsciously looked back at the direction of the pavilion, as if they felt that everything was incredible, and they had so easily killed the Cao army's encirclement?

"Ah Xing, I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"Isn't there an elite interception of Cao Jun at Chiting, why did he rush over so easily, what tricks did Cao Jun have?"

At this time, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao first felt that something was wrong, and the two discussed and analyzed together.

After a while, Pang De also galloped over, arched his hand and said loudly: "Young General, this matter is wrong, that Guo Huai has good ability, he can be called a good general in Cao's camp, and now he leads the army with strong combat strength and the scale is also above our army, how can he be so kind to let go of the road and let our army come over?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Guan Ping pulled the reins tightly and slowly strangled the war horse under his crotch, waved his knife to signal the whole army to rest temporarily, and then squinted at Pang De, with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "General Ling Ming, don't you have to be so entangled, haven't you understood yet, this is the genius of Guo Huai." ”

"He must have seen thousands of knights of our army rushing up, the momentum was too great, and the morale of the army was also at its peak, if he stopped our army at this moment, it would be a situation of defeat for both sides, and the gains outweighed the losses for him."

"In this case, it is better to let our army cross the border first, and then besiege and kill after the strength of our army is exhausted or the dry food it carries is exhausted, wouldn't this move get twice the result with half the effort?"

When these words fell, Pang De thought for a moment and realized a little, but there was still a trace of doubt on his face, and he couldn't help but say: "But the young general, Guo Huai is not afraid that letting our army cross the border will be like letting the tiger return to the mountain?" ”

"Once our army gallops across the land of Liangzhou, disrupting the rear deployed by Cao's army or causing the Qiang people in Liangzhou to attack each other, won't it only add to the trouble?"

"General Lingming's words are different."

It's just that after the words fell, Guan Ping seemed to have a pessimistic look on his face, and Guan Suo couldn't help but be puzzled when he saw this, and asked softly: "Brother, why are you so pessimistic, is it that there is still an ambush of the Cao army ahead?" ”

"It's not just that the ambush is so simple, our army must be careful in everything next, and once you are not careful, you will fall into a place of no return!"

Speaking of this, Guan Ping forcibly showed a confident smile and said: "Although Guo Huai is obviously to let our army leave this time, this is just his purpose to temporarily avoid the strong front of our army at this time, and then he will unite all armies and even the Qiang people who have returned to Qiang to encircle and suppress our army, and block all retreats back to Shuzhong and Hanzhong." ”

"At that time, if our army can't gain a foothold in Liangzhou, after the dry food it carries is exhausted, it will be like fish and meat on the chopping board for others to slaughter, this is the terrible thing about Guo Huai!"

The words settled.

Guan Ping was silent for a long time and couldn't help but let out a long breath, and sighed: "This person has to admit that he really had the foresight, and he actually started to calculate the general when he was in Longxi, and he was really a difficult opponent." ”

"If the general's expectations are good, the Cao army in Longyou and Longxi must have been prepared, and our army's plan to disturb the situation in Liangzhou and cause chaos is probably in vain, and now we have to recalculate the next deployment."

With Guan Ping's analysis, the generals and colonels were still slowly digesting, and after a while, Pang De first asked: "Then I don't know if the young general has a plan next?" ”

Hearing this, Guan Ping said helplessly: "Our army is now close to the size of more than 2,000 people, and it is extremely difficult to get rid of the enemy's calculations with the strength of our army alone, and we must rely on external forces to deal with the Cao army and the Xiqiang army." ”

"What the major general said...... Could it be that the Qiang people? ”

"Hmm...... What General Pang said is good, this is exactly what the general thinks, but I have never been to Liangzhou, and I don't know much about the situation here, I wonder if General Pang can introduce one or two? ”

Guan Ping's eyes were serious, and he looked at Pound tightly and said.

When these words fell, the surrounding generals couldn't help but gather around and listen carefully, and they were also curious about how their generals would deal with Guo Huai's plan next.

"Major General, the strength of the Qiang people in Liangzhou is still the main ones in the Huangzhong area, the Ginseng Wolf in the southwest of Longxi, and the Baima Qiang, these three Qiang tribes have been in full force to this day, and Xiahou Yuan, who once walked in Longyou, has not been exterminated when he conquered Liangzhou, and his strength can be described as extremely strong and difficult to deal with."

After analyzing the situation of the Qiang people, Pang De said slowly: "There is also a situation in several counties in Hexi, which is also a mixture of fish and dragons, and the people such as Fatong and Moth are the leaders of the Di people in Jiuquan and Zhangye, and there are about more than 10,000 people under their command, although the strength is not as good as the three Qiang tribes, but because of the weak jurisdiction of the Cao army in Hexi, they are also local overlords, and they do not obey the management of officials in Hexi at all. ”

"Secondly, the slightly weaker ones also include the leaders of the Di people in the Xiping area, such as Oh He and Yao Ge, but because Xiping County is now the hinterland of the Xiqiang State, most of the Di people in the territory are attached to the Xiqiang."

After a few words, Pound slowly analyzed.

After a while, Guan Ping looked thoughtful and said in a deep voice: "General Ling Ming, what do you want to say next, which Qiang tribe in Liangzhou is close to my Han, how about it?" ”

"Good!"

When the order was passed, Pang De's face suddenly became serious again, and he said solemnly: "If you want to say that the Qiang people who are close to my Han are considered white horses." ”

"White Horse Qiang?"

"Yes, it is Bai Ma Qiang, during the Hanzhong War two years ago, Ma Mengqi and General Zhang Fei led the people to garrison Gushan, when Ma Chao once called on the local Di tribe with his prestige in Liangzhou, and led the troops to respond to Yang Ju, the king of Bai Madi."

"Yang Ju?"
