"No wonder you must have let the two of us and you come here early!" Liu Qi shouted: "This is a plan to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chencang, let's compete with the Three Kingdoms Alliance here, and General Bai over there will sneak attack Jiuquan, the Jiuquan defenders must still think that we are far away?" ”

Wei Qing nodded, that's it, Bai Buxin heard Wei Qing ask him what he thought before, and when he saw Wei Qing looking into the distance, he had already guessed in his heart: Wei Qing's idea was the battle plan, and he looked into the distance, where else was there in the distance of Zhangye, Jiuquan.

So why did Wei Qing think about Jiuquan when Zhangye hadn't taken it yet, the reason was very simple: because Zhangye was clearly trying to find an excuse to surrender here, and he didn't have to worry about them at all, so why not take the opportunity to quietly attack Jiuquan.

Bai Buxin thought of this, so he praised Wei Qing for being smart, and he put his hand in a circle around his mouth and put it up, which was a drinking action, which meant that he guessed that it was Jiuquan.

If the Zhangye defenders were still defending as before, the Han army's 200,000 people would pass around the city, and it would be impossible not to be discovered, but the Zhangye defenders knew that the opponent had more than 200,000 people, and they knew that even if they defended, it was meaningless, so they simply stopped defending, and even the night guard posts were withdrawn, and as a result, the 200,000 Han troops actually passed around the city unconsciously and went straight to Jiuquan.

On Wei Qing's side, only 30,000 people were left to defend, and the other 220,000 troops were handed over to Bai Buxin, and now Wei Qing has received 20,000 troops of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, so that the total strength of the Han army has reached 270,000 people, and it has been occupied by three cities without blood.

Abri heard this, and then he understood that Wei Qing was here to compete with him, not only to recruit them, but also to use Wei Qing's signboard to deceive the Jiuquan defenders to think that the main force of the Han army did not arrive in Jiuquan, after all, Wei Qing is the commander-in-chief of the whole army, how can he leave the main force?

He figured this out and said with a smile: "I thought that this plan should be a plan to kill two birds with one stone, and then we were co-opted and deceived Jiuquan!" ”

"I think it's a trick!" Shi Qian said: "This is the most suitable! ”

"General Wei, what kind of trick are you using!" Abri asked.

The three of them looked at Wei Qing together, wanting to ask Wei Qing to explain.

Wei Qing looked at the three of them and replied slowly: "What I used was just the most suitable plan I thought of, I never thought about which plan to put in the book of war, no matter what kind of plan, the one that can defeat the enemy is a good plan!" ”

30,000 Han troops and 20,000 Western Regions Three Kingdoms Alliance, 50,000 people, hurriedly left Zhangye and went straight to Jiuquan, Wei Qing didn't even have time to drink a sip of water in the city, led the Han army through the city, and joined the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army that had been hurriedly reorganized, all the way to Jiuquan.

Jiuquan is the last city before entering the Great Desert of the Western Regions, and it is also the first gateway for the Western Regions to enter the Han Empire.

Although Wei Qing is very anxious to get to Jiuquan, but Jiuquan is 400 miles away from Zhangye, but it is not a day to arrive, in terms of time, it is estimated that Bai Buxin may have only arrived in Jiuquan now, so no matter how anxious Wei Qing is, he can only lead these 50,000 horses step by step.

On the fourth day after leaving Zhangye, Wei Qing's troops were less than fifty miles away from Jiuquan, and in the distance, a horse galloped over.

The messenger came to Wei Qing's eyes, and reported urgently: "General Wei, General Bai, please move forward quickly, our army has taken Jiuquan, but we find that a large number of Western Regions troops are approaching, General Bai wants to ask you to sit in command before the enemy arrives!" ”

Wei Qing is happy and worried, happy that the important town of Jiuquan has finally been taken, and worrying is that with Bai Buxin's ability, he is afraid that he will not easily send messengers to urge him, this must be facing a huge number of enemies.

"How many enemies are there!" Wei Qing asked.

"Two hundred thousand!" The messenger replied.

"Two hundred thousand!" Several generals were taken aback, this is almost equivalent to a quarter of the troops that can be mobilized in the Western Regions, and it seems that the enemy is not willing to lose Jiuquan, but the Han army marched too fast, and the enemy did not expect that the Han army would advance so quickly, and it did not have time to reach Jiuquan for a while.

"There was originally a large army of Wusun stationed west of Jiuquan, but the number was 80,000, and it is estimated that the Wusun people mobilized the strength of the whole country to resist!" Abri said.

Wei Qing nodded, he turned around and ordered: "Advance at full speed, the whole army march quickly, and arrive at Jiuquan as soon as possible!" ”

The sound of hooves was heard, and the 50,000 Han and the allied troops of the Western Regions rushed all the way, and the men and horses were all out of breath to resist Jiuquan.

The outside of Jiuquan City was still in shambles, the ground was full of dead bodies and weapons, there were still several ladders on the city wall, and smoke was still emitting in several places in the city, and it seemed that the battle had not been over for long.

Wei Qing's heart lifted.

There was a difference of three days between them and the main force led by Bai Buxin, but looking at the current situation, I am afraid that Jiuquan was just captured today, and I don't know what happened in the middle.

Bai Buxin didn't go out to greet Wei Qing, Wei Qing had to enter the city on his own, which made him even more worried, Bai Buxin was not a person who would neglect this kind of thing, why didn't he come out to greet him.

The more Wei Qing thought about it, the more anxious he became, and ordered the generals to go to camp by themselves, he galloped all the way to Bai Buxin's big tent, and after walking not far, he saw Bai Buxin galloping all the way on a horse, and saw Wei Qing from a distance, hurriedly led the horse, and gave up his hand on the horse: "Delayed for a while, failed to come out to welcome, please atone for your sins!" ”

Wei Qing looked at Bai Buxin in a daze.

Bai Buxin's face was full of sweat, his sideburns were messy, his clothes were disheveled, and he looked very embarrassed.

"Brother Bai, what's wrong with you?" Wei Qing did not answer Bai Buxin's apology, but directly used the title "Brother Bai", but the meaning was obvious: Brother himself, what to apologize for.

Bai Buxin sighed: "It's hard to say, we came to Jiuquan today to capture the city,,,,,! ”

"Today to Jiuquan,!" Wei Qing was taken aback, they were actually in Jiuquan, which was only a few hours away from him.

"I'll report back to this later!" Bai Buxin said: "There is a more urgent matter now, the city we captured more than an hour ago, now is the time of chaos, but someone from the Western Regions has brought news, saying that the 200,000 troops with the Wusun people as the main force have approached, and it is only seventy miles away, and we have only received a report from Tanma, this news is true!" ”

"The whole army is garrisoned!" Wei Qing said: "We have more people than them, but the main force has just fought, and the 50,000 people I brought have just marched here in a hurry, and they all need to rest, if they come to attack the city, we might as well wait for work!" ”

"I'm afraid that being surrounded by the whole army in the city may not be conducive to a counterattack!" Bai Buxin immediately reminded.

Wei Qing nodded: "That's a good point, it just so happens that my 50,000 people haven't entered the city yet, so let them camp outside the city first, just in case!" ”

"Order!" Bai Buxin agreed, and went to make arrangements.

Everyone was busy for the next few hours, and it wasn't until the time of the lamp that all the generals gathered in Wei Qing's Chinese military tent with a tired look.

"What happened to the enemy forces outside the city!" Wei Qing asked first.

"They stopped!" There was a hint of relief in Bai Buxin's tone: "The latest news, it turns out that these people have also come from a long journey, they thought that we would have to fight Jiuquan for a month, but they didn't expect us to be so fast, so they also hurriedly gathered the army and hurried, this way they went farther than us, so they camped seventy miles away, and it seemed that they would have to rest for two days before they could fight!" ”

"This news is true!" Wei Qing asked.

"Indeed!" This time, it was Dolan, the single father, who replied: "General Abri and I have sent to find out, and the news has been received from our two people, and it is indeed true!" ”

Wei Qing let out a sigh of relief.

At least he won't be too passive, it seems.

"The generals will rest first, discuss the military situation tomorrow, and send more mobile posts at night to prevent the enemy from sneaking up!" Wei Qing ordered: "Please General Bai stay!" ”

The generals dispersed one after another, and only Bai Buxin and Wei Qing were left in the tent.

Wei Qing pointed to the chair, smiled in disbelief, and sat on the chair.

When there are other people in the account, Bai Buxin will never sit, which is related to the position of Wei Qing and Bai Buxin, but since there are only the two of them, there is no need to pay attention to it.

"I want to hear from me why I only came to Jiuquan today!" Bai Buxin asked.

Wei Qing nodded: "Indeed, I'm very strange about this?" ”

Bai Buxin sighed: "We're lost!" ”

"How so!" Wei Qing's shocked eyes almost fell out, needless to say, he didn't believe that there were two Western Regions armies under his account, and he was very familiar with the road, even if there was no Western Regions Army, this road to Jiuquan would go straight all the way, as long as he kept walking towards the west, how could he get lost.

"It's really lost!" Bai Buxin replied: "And it's very strange, I still can't figure out what's going on!" ”

"Tell me more!" Wei Qing was also surprised, and hurriedly said.

Bai Buxin sighed and slowly talked about their strange experience in the past few days.

Bai Buxin led the army to set out, and considering the hot climate in this area, he decided to get up early every day, rest at noon, and march again in the evening. Although he had less time to sleep, he rested twice a day and avoided the heat, which was conducive to the soldiers to conserve their strength, and this method was also approved by the two teams of Western Regions allies.

Everything was normal for the first two days, every day I got up early and left, rested near noon, and marched again after the heat, and on the third night, when it was a little dark, the army was still moving forward, and as in the previous two days, the plan was to rest until the second watch.

Bai Buxin rode a horse and walked in the team, because it was dark, several generals went to their respective teams to organize the team, so as not to chaos in the march, so Bai Buxin did not have other generals around, he looked into the distance while walking, an hour ago, the general of the Western Regions Alliance told him that there were still about one hundred and fifty miles away from Jiuquan, and he was planning in his heart how to launch an attack after arriving at Jiuquan.
