In the city of Langzhong.

When Guan Ping first occupied Langzhong City, Guan Ping asked the officials in the city to organize the people and transport them to the north. Of course, the family members of the officials, their wealth, were also detained as hostages.

However, forcibly relocating the people will make the people rebel, so the people flee, which happens from time to time. At present, the city is empty, as if it were a ghost town.

Because I was in a hurry, I basically didn't close the doors and windows. A gust of wind blew, kicking up a cloud of dust, blowing doors and windows automatically opened and closed.

What is it if it's not a ghost town?

Guan Ping claimed that he was a thief this time, and he really looked like a thief.

However, it was said that Guan Ping led his troops back to Langzhong when it was getting late. Pang Tong and Li Fei went out to greet them. Guan Ping threw the big knife to his own soldiers, turned over and dismounted and said to Pang Tong: "What Shiyuan said is right, that Yan Yan is really not easy to deal with." ”

"General Ming. Not only is Yan Yan difficult to deal with, but Wu Ban, Zhang Ren and others are also difficult to deal with. There has been news in Shuzhong, Zhang Ren is the commander, Huang Quan is in the army, 40,000 elite soldiers are coming, and it is only about 200 miles away from Langzhong City. ”

Pang Tong said.

Guan Ping frowned when he heard this, and asked, "What about Wu Ban, is there any news?" ”

"There's no news yet, but it's definitely close." Pang Tong shook his head and said.

Guan Ping was still frowning, and said to Pang Tong without giving up: "Sir, Langzhong really can't hold it?" ”

But he is still thinking about the city, this city is finally occupied, and it is a pity to give up easily.

"I can't hold it." Pang Tong shook his head and said.

"Then let's go tonight. Go back to the rice warehouse road and coil it. Guan Ping said helplessly. Then Guan Ping yelled at Zhou Xiong: "Go, burn all the grain, cloth and other materials that can't be taken away, and pack the gold and take it away." ”

Guan Ping was very unhappy, and his tone was inevitably a little harsh.

Zhou Xiong shrunk his neck, but still asked, "Do you want to burn down the city?" We have transported the people to Hanzhong, and many of them have fled, and if the city is burned. Pang Xi had to find a way to rebuild the city and pacify the people. ”

Guan Ping gave Zhou Xiong an appreciative look and said, "Yes, you stinky boy has learned to use your brain." ”

Zhou Xiong was both surprised and delighted when he heard this, touched the back of his head, and thought, General Ming is the first time to praise me for having brains.

"But it's still stupid." Guan Ping slapped Zhou Xiong on the back of the head and said, "I'm not a real thief. This time, the people of Brazil County were forcibly relocated, and the people already complained, if the city was burned, I would enter Bazhong again in the future, and the people would not resist desperately? Therefore, it is good to keep the city and burn the rice, grain, and supplies. By the way, the county guard's mansion and the county government burned it. ”

"No." Zhou Xiong touched the back of his head aggrievedly, but he didn't dare to complain, so he promised and went down with his own soldiers.

"Boys, remember to burn carefully, don't burn down the houses." When Zhou Xiong walked away, Guan Ping heard Zhou Xiong's majestic voice.

Guan Ping shook his head, this stinky boy is a grandson in front of me, but he is a man in front of his subordinates.

Guan Ping asked Zhou Xiong to burn the unneeded materials, the county government, and the county guard, and on the other hand, he asked Li Fei to bury the pot and make rice. After the soldiers had eaten and drunk enough, Guan Ping took advantage of the night to lead his men and horses to abandon the city and return to the north.

Slip away, slip away.

The moon is bright in the sky, and the stars are shining. Guan Ping and Pang Tong rode their horses under the protection of their own soldiers, and Zhou Xiong's stinky boy's eyes were round and very vigilant.

"My lord. Tomorrow, when Yan Yan learns the news of our departure, he will definitely not chase after us alone. But the people of Wuban must be close, and the people and horses in Shuzhong are less than two hundred miles. Zhang Ren, Huang Quan should be able to rush to Langzhong the night after tomorrow. And these two are loyal and brave people, and they will inevitably lead the army north. It will take us a little time to dispose of the seven barbarian kings on the rice cang road. It is necessary to send a general, led by 3,000 elite soldiers, to constantly harass in order to delay time. ”

Pang Tong grabbed the reins of the horse with both hands and said to Guan Ping.

"Good. Tomorrow, I will send Li Fei to lead 3,000 men and horses, bring enough dry food, and attack Zhang Ren. Guan Ping understood and said.

"Drive!" Guan Ping clamped his feet around the horse's belly and barked. A large number of people and horses, the sound of footsteps and horses' hooves entangled, and they swept back to the north.

..............

However, as Pang Tong expected, after Guan Ping's army left Langzhong under the cover of night, Yan Yan's spies found that Langzhong City was empty.

Yan Yan was suspicious at first, thinking that it was Guan Ping's strategy to lure the enemy. If you withdraw the men and horses from the city, lie in ambush in the city, and then suddenly kill them.

This speculation is not entirely impossible. So Yan Yanxian cautiously did not send troops, but sent a team of spies, carrying ladders up the city wall, after probing the city, and making sure that Guan Ping did not ambush troops in the city.

Only then did Yan Yan know that Guan Ping had slipped away last night.

Yan Yan heard the news, but he was not happy.

"My army was about to assemble, but Guan Ping ran away. If he doesn't run, hey. Yan Yan sighed, and then ordered his troops to pull out the camp and go to the city.

When he came to Langzhong City, Yan Yan sighed again. This city was also prosperous and populated, but at the moment it was an empty city, as if it was a ghost town.

Even the county guard and the county government were burned down. Yan Yan then sent someone to investigate the granary and treasury, and sure enough, nothing was left.

The soldiers also found burnt cloth beyond recognition.

Burn it down.

Brazil County will not recover in three years.

Pang Xi, that idiot, don't go out of the city to do it if you don't have the ability. The city has been garrisoned, at least the supplies in Langzhong City have been saved.

Yan Yan was really sulky, and after entering the city, he planned to practice the big knife to make his strength. But suddenly I heard that there was a report, saying that Wu Ban had arrived with a large army.

Although Yan Yan despises Wu Yi as a person, he still respects Wu Ban quite a lot. He knew that Wu Ban Nai was a general, and Wu Yi was a politician.

Patong County is in the east, so Wuban enters the city from the east of the city. Yan Yan personally rode his horse to the east of the city, and after waiting for some time, he greeted Wu Ban.

After the two met, they were speechless for a while. Then, Yan Yan and Wu Ban came to the city together to watch the city. Wu Ban also sighed: "In the first battle of Langzhong, Guan Ping robbed many people and burned many supplies. We have an army of 60,000 or 70,000, and the supplies need to rely on Bajun and Shuzhong, and the grain road has become longer. ”

"This is Guan Ping's decisiveness. I have already heard that Cao Cao personally commanded 200,000 horse infantry troops to go south to Jingzhou, and the lord heard the news and was discussing with the civil and military forces to attack Hanzhong. Guan Ping was killed from Hanzhong first, and after a chaotic fight, Pang Xi did not defend Langzhong, but he replaced defense with attack and won the battle. Now we have fewer soldiers and horses, and the grain routes are longer. But. Yan Yan paused here before raising his head and asking Wu Bandao, "However, this is still an opportunity." ”

This time, the lord appointed Zhang Ren as the general and Huang Quan as the army. The two of them will definitely lead their troops to attack Micang Road and enter Hanzhong, hoping that General Wu can join us. ”

Hearing this, Wu Ban solemnly bowed his hand and said: "General Yan, rest assured, I, Wu Ban, will definitely do my best." ”

Yan Yan was extremely pleased, Wu Ban and Wu Yi were still different.

Pang counted the distance and did not make a mistake. On the night when Guan Ping left Langzhong, on the evening of the third day, Zhang Ren, Huang Quan, Ling Bao, and Deng Xian led 40,000 elite soldiers from Shuzhong to Langzhong City.

also added a Pang Xi to lead two or three thousand remnants.

As a result, the number of troops in the Langzhong area reached as many as 60,000 or 70,000. Ruoguan Ping didn't run. If these people only set up camp and wait for reinforcements to continue to arrive.

When the army reaches 100,000 people, I am afraid that it will surround the city gates on all sides. Besiege but not attack. When the city runs out of food, it is finished.

As Pang Tong expected, it was not bad.

Therefore, even if Guan Ping wants to operate in Bazhong, he must abandon Langzhong City, and then mobilize the army, wander around, and then look for fighters in the chaos.

Let's not mention this for now.

After Zhang Ren, Huang Quan, Ling Bao, Pang Xi, Deng Xian and others led their troops to Langzhong, they couldn't fit so many people in the city.

Zhang Ren and others set up camp outside the city, and then Zhang Ren sent people to invite Yan Yan and Wu Ban to come over, and the generals sat with Huang Quan, who joined the army, to discuss countermeasures.

Zhang Ren sat on the handsome seat, although it was the first time in his life to command the armies, it was not false. Zhang Renhu glanced at the generals, and finally fell on Huang Quan.

"Huang joins the army. The lord ordered us to come to Bazhong to relieve the siege of Pasir County, and now Guan Ping has returned to the north. I intend to lead the armies to attack Yonechang Road. Even if you suffer heavy losses, you must wipe out the barbarian kings on the Rice Cang Road and occupy the Rice Cang Road. Otherwise, Guan Ping will leave this year and come back next year. I don't know what Master Huang thinks? Zhang Ren wanted to storm Micang Road, but he also asked for his opinion on joining the army, because Zhang Ren was a general after all, and he was afraid that he would not think about it in some places.

"General Zhang is bold, and if he makes such a noise, he will definitely be able to break through the rice cang road. I mean the same as the general. It's just that now Brazil County is newly broken, and there is no grain and grass at all. It is necessary to mobilize grain and grass from Shuzhong, Badong, and Ba County. Speaking of this, Huang Quan paused, and then said to Pang Xi: "General Pang." The general's men and horses were defeated by Guan Ping, and their morale was not high. It is better to sit in Langzhong, transport money and food from all sides, and go to the front line. How is it? ”

However, although Pang Xi was newly attacked, he was Liu Zhang's relative after all, and he was not Zhang Ren's direct subordinate, so Huang Quan was very polite.

"Okay." Pang Xi was broken by Guan Ping, and he was already a little bold, and then he was the county guard of Brazil, and now that Langzhong was broken, he was also anxious to gather the people back, and was arranged to transport grain and grass in the rear, but he couldn't ask for it, so he responded.

Zhang Ren made a decision, and Huang Quan arranged the food issue. This is the end of this meeting.

"The generals have listened to the order, and tomorrow they will send troops to Yonecang Road. I myself will oversee the army, and I will destroy the barbarian king on the hill of Ba. Whoever dares to retreat without a fight, I will kill him. ”

Zhang Renhu's eyes were round, full of momentum, and he ordered the generals to say.

"No." Including Yan Yan, Wu Ban, Deng Xian, Ling Bao, Huang Quan and other generals responded in unison, and their morale was high.

Early the next morning, Zhang Ren mobilized his men and horses to kill Micang Road.

Very resolute and determined.

Micang Dao, must be held in our hands.
