In Ma Chao's previous thoughts, he originally thought that Gao Gan might be stationing heavy troops in Mengxian to resist his own attack. However, the result was still beyond his expectations, in Meng County, there was nothing at all except for thousands of guards. And at this time, Ma Chao suddenly felt that it was Gao Gan who was still waiting for his decisive battle in Jinyang. Maybe that's the case, but how to explain the current situation.

For something incomprehensible, Ma Chao still specially asked Guo Jia about this, and Guo Jia smiled when he heard this, "Lord, Jia also thinks so!" However, Jia actually felt that now Gao Gan was not blocking the attack of our army in Mengxian, because he knew that Mengxian would not be able to hinder the progress of our army. Therefore, Jia felt that it was likely that his focus on defense was not Meng County! ”

Hearing Guo Jia say this, Ma Chao understood. Because now it's not his own army attacking Taiyuan, isn't there another way for Zhao Yun to do it, and he has already gotten the exact news before, at this time, Shangdang has been occupied by his own side, and Wei Yuanjin died in the eldest son city. Yes, Zilong is still a big victory all the way, so he must have entered Taiyuan now, so Gao Gan is likely to send troops to intercept his army on the other road.

In fact, what Ma Chao thought was right or not, what was right was that Gao Gan did consult with his subordinates and sent troops to intercept Zhao Yun. What's wrong is that Gao Gan actually sent reinforcements to Meng County, but before the reinforcements arrived, Meng County was lost. Of course, one thing is true, that is, Gao Gan is really not preparing to fight with the Liangzhou army in Mengxian, even if he sends reinforcements, it is actually just a show. If he really had the intention of fighting in Mengxian, wouldn't he have already stationed heavy troops for defense, and would he still use it? ——

If you want to say that this matter has to be traced back to the time when the senior cadres and their subordinates discussed with each other, when several people had already shouted "unsuccessful." and became benevolent", it can be seen that they have indeed made up their minds, at least at this time.

Gao Gan asked a few people to sit down again, and after about a minute, after he calmed down, he said: "Everyone, now Yanmen, Shangdang, and the two counties are occupied by the Liangzhou army, so I don't know what you have to do to deal with the enemy?" ”

After all, you can't defeat the enemy army just by shouting what success is successful, so you have to fall on this in the end.

It was one of Gao Gan's staff members who was the first to speak. I only heard him say at this time: "Zhou Mu, everyone, now the Liangzhou army is strong, especially Ma Mengqi and Zhao Zilong, who are the victorious divisions. Take advantage of the situation to kill me Taiyuan. And now Ma Mengqi in the north has a large army, and Meng County can resist it. And on the southeast side. The subordinates thought that at this time, they should send troops to intercept Zhao Zilong's army! ”

When Gao Gan heard this, he said in his heart that it really made sense. Now that Ma Meng is gaining momentum, it is not something that he can resist in Meng County, if it is in Jinyang, it is almost the same. So the affairs of Meng County are left alone. It's okay to send a few thousand people over at that time, anyway, I'm not in a hurry to go there, in fact, it's just for show, but for others to see.

But if the Liangzhou army in the north does not block itself, it will not be blocked. But Zhao Yun's army on the other side had to send troops to resist them. What is it for, just because if Zhao Yun is there and does not send troops himself, then if he and Ma Mengqi converge in one place, then Jinyang, where he is located, may be in danger. Because the army has already increased the pressure on Jinyang City, if you come all the way again, then the consequences can be imagined.

So after thinking of this, Gao Gan nodded quickly, and then he continued to ask: "I don't know what Mr. thinks, what should our army do now?" ”

The staff smiled slightly, and then said: "If it is as expected, Zhao Zilong and his people will go to Jicheng in Yangyi, so the governor only needs to station heavy troops in Jicheng, so he can resist Zhao Zilong's army and make it not advance an inch!" ”

Gao Gan slapped the table at this time, "Okay, according to what Mr. said, but I don't know what you think?" ”

The other generals also echoed it, indeed, this method is the best method now, there is no other-

So in this way, Gao Gan sent heavy troops to Jicheng in Yangyi, and also sent troops to Meng County, but that was just a show, sure enough, the last thing was that the Liangzhou army had taken Meng County, but Gao Gan's reinforcements had not yet arrived.

For Gao Gan, what he cares about is indeed not Ma Chao in the north, anyway, he has no way to stop Ma Chao and the Liangzhou army. But not being able to stop Ma Chao and the Liangzhou army does not mean that he can't stop Zhao Yun's army. At least more than 60,000 people and more than 20,000 people, which brings less pressure to his side, of course, he still knows the way.

As long as he can block Zhao Zilong's army for a while, he will resist the attack of Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou army in Jinyang. I don't believe it, with the 30,000 soldiers and soldiers in Jinyang City, can I really not resist the attack of his 60,000 army of Ma Mengqi? It's not that Gao Gan has so much confidence in his own soldiers, but he thinks that even if his own soldiers are poor, they will definitely not be much worse than the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army.

And their own side has the biggest advantage, that is, the city is used as a supporting barrier, and there are a lot of troops. Yes, 30,000 soldiers is indeed a small number compared to Ma Mengqi's 60,000 horses, and he is not just such a man. But don't forget, now that your own side is defending the city, and the other side is besieging the city, so the 30,000 soldiers defending the city are really a lot, and they don't look at it like that on the battlefield at all. So 30,000 people guarding a city, it can be said that there are definitely a lot of people and horses, and that's not something you can break if you want to break the city-

When Ma Chao had already led his troops from Mengxian County to Jinyang, Zhao Yun had already led his troops to the city of Jicheng.

He had expected that the high-ranking cadres would send troops to stop him. To be honest, if Gao Gan really didn't send troops here, in that case, he might really think too highly of him. However, the result was still not as expected, after Tanma's inquiry, at this time, there were nearly 15,000 people and horses in such a small city, such a not too big city. Among them, less than 7,000 men and horses were the original guards in the city, and the remaining 8,000 were reinforcements sent by the senior cadres.

After Zhao Yun learned about these situations, he finally knew the Dao, don't look at this Jicheng is not too big, but it is indeed very important. This place is the gateway to the southeast of Jinyang, and after taking Jicheng, you can go all the way to the northwest to reach Jinyang City. So it's no wonder that Gao Gan will send heavy troops to defend this place, as for why Gao Gan didn't send more men and horses. After all, he still has to guard against his lord, and Jinyang is the top priority, so it is indeed good to be able to send 8,000 people to Jicheng-

It attacked for two days in a row, but after two consecutive days of attacking, Keijo didn't seem to move, which shows the strength of the city's defense.

In the past two days, Zhao Yun has indeed been a little anxious. After all, what he wants most now is to be in one place with his main guild, but now that he looks at it, it's difficult. After all, who can know that such a small Kei City is so difficult to attack.

But Zhao Yun is such a rational person, indeed, even if he is very anxious in his heart, but on the surface, he really can't see anything. I have to say that let Zhao Yun be the coach of this army, Ma Chao did not make a mistake. Facts have also proved that Zhao Yun is definitely a qualified coach.

Just like now, Zhao Yun was anxious in his heart, but for the sake of the whole army and the overall situation, he didn't show anything in front of people at all. is still the same extremely confident appearance, let the whole army look up and down, who knows that his handsome man is now in a hurry.

In Zhao Yun's view, he is the commander of the army, so his emotions have a great chance to affect the whole army. Indeed, if they have always maintained such a state of self-confidence, even the soldiers know that the siege is now blocked, but they see their confidence, then they will actually have the same confidence.

So if you are in other situations, for example, you are in a hurry now, and you end up showing the same way in the whole army. So it's over, the soldiers see that they are like this, so don't say that they can't take the city in one or two days, it is estimated that if this is the case, it may be impossible to take the city in ten or twenty days.

Of course, Zhao Yun's thoughts may indeed be a bit exaggerated. But he said that he wanted something, but he also had to say that it was really reasonable.

As Zhao Yun has been the coach for longer and longer, it can be said that he has indeed understood more and more things, and as for experience, it is of course more and more abundant. At the beginning, Zhao Yun really lacked some experience, but now, he has a lot of experience. Although he didn't dare to say that he had any experience, it definitely didn't look like when he first started.

Now Zhao Yun has thought of a way, if he really can't take this Jicheng all the time, then he can only use this. After all, everyone knows that at this time, it is better to go to Jinyang City as early as possible. But he has been delayed for a long time, because he failed to take Jicheng, so at this time, the only way to take Jicheng is to hurry up, this is the top priority, and the rest is not so important.
