Fortunately, after taking most of Pingyang, Li Xin ordered troops to be stationed here. Therefore, at this time, this place is still in their own hands, and it should be impossible for the enemy to come over so quickly! What needs to be done now is how to solve this war. "There are 30,000 troops in Zhangping outside the city, and we can't get rid of them in a hurry! Now that the city is strong, let them attack it for the time being! If we wait for work, we can reduce a lot of losses! Hearing Tu Qi's report, Li Xin said.

"Then let's just stick to it?" Yao Chang asked.

"Of course not, if we don't take the initiative here in Yong'an, it doesn't mean that other places won't do it. Among Zhang Ping's soldiers and horses, Zhuge Xiang was weaker all the way, and the other party was too greedy, and dared to divide his troops to attack everywhere. Wouldn't that give us the opportunity to destroy them? I have already decided, Deng Qiang, you lead 3,000 troops to reinforce the Black Dragon Pass, and deal with the enemy troops there first! Li Xin shook his head, and then ordered.

"The last general obeys!" Deng Qiang hurriedly got up and answered.

"Yao Chang, you lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to Beiqu County, and after meeting with the defenders there, you can solve the invading enemy! After that, you will lead the soldiers and horses to the east, converge with Deng Qiang in the north of the Black Dragon Pass, and then join forces to take Puzi County and cut off the back road of Zhuge Xiang's army! In this operation, Deng Qiang is the main general, and you are the deputy general! After a pause, Li Xin looked at Yao Chang and ordered.

"The last general commands!" Yao Chang responded.

With 6,000 soldiers and horses on both sides, there should not be much problem in dealing with the invading enemy. And once it occupied Puzi County, then Zhuge Xiang's 20,000 troops had no way to retreat and were locked up in the northwest corner of Pingyang County.

As long as the 20,000 troops are swallowed first, it will be a huge encouragement for his side, and for Zhang Ping's side, it will be a huge blow.

"In this battle, you two soldiers must fight quickly, and you have to deal with each other before the news reaches Zhang Ping's ears. Once the war in Huchan Puzi and other places is over, you will immediately go north through Tujun County and Pingzhou County to take Yangliang Pass for me! In this way, Zhang Ping's army of 30,000 was cut off from the grain route, even if we don't fight with it, after a long time, the army outside the city will collapse without a fight! After giving the order, Li Xin specially explained a few words.

Hearing this, Deng Qiang and Yao Chang both felt the burden on their bodies. Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the victory or defeat of the battle between Pingyang County and Zhang Ping will largely depend on the results of their own actions.

"Please rest assured, even if the last general and others die on the battlefield, they will take Yangliang Pass!" The two glanced at each other, then bowed and said solemnly.

"Go ahead! Taking advantage of the cover of night, you led your troops to leave quietly! Once you take the Yangliang Pass, send someone back to inform me immediately! When the time comes, we will be able to fight the enemy in a decisive battle! Nodding, Li Xin asked them to go down and prepare.

If you detour from Yongan County to Pingyang County, or even Beiqu County, and then go around Yangliangguan, the distance between this is not short. Especially when you have to go over mountains and mountains along the way, it is definitely not so easy for the army to move.

The only advantage may be that the army can temporarily get supplies from the enemy army, and it doesn't have to carry too much food and grass. Otherwise, you have to send food from the rear, and the difficulty is not ordinary.

That night, Li Xin personally sent the two teams out of the city and left. Before these two groups of people come to an end, he will stay in Yongan County and have no other actions for the time being.

To the west, thousands of miles away in Jincheng County, Hu Tian and Zhou Tong, who had already received a secret military order more than two months ago, had been on increased vigilance all along. On this day, the fast horse from Guanzhong sent an official letter.

"Zhang Ping went south? It seems that it has finally begun! In the county, after Zhou Tong read the official document, he couldn't help sighing.

Because the stakes were so high in the county, especially after getting the news that Zhang Ping was going to attack the Huashan army in conjunction with the Quartet, Li Xin ordered to recruit a group of people from all over Qinzhou, plus the soldiers and horses in place, and finally repaired the county two months in advance.

Now, Zhou Tong led 3,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed here, and there were not many people in the city besides them. And the grain transported from Jincheng County and other places was already in place at this time. Just feeding an army of 3,000 is enough to feed for several months.

"Does General Hu know the news?" After a deep sigh, Zhou Tong asked.

"This official document is in multiple copies, all of them are sent from Guanzhong, except for General Zhou, all other generals will receive it!" The messenger replied.

"Great work! When you go back, bring me another letter to General Hu! Nodding, Zhou Tong admonished.

Hu Tian is now sitting in Haokang County, and he has 4,000 people in his hands, but he has to sit in Haokang County and other counties in Xiduyun Street. So, in fact, there are not enough people.

Fortunately, all the passes leading from Hexi to Qinzhou were under the control of the Huashan Army, and relatively speaking, although the attack was insufficient, there was no problem in defense.

In particular, there is a Yellow River in danger, and there are hardly many suitable ferries for the army to cross in this basin, which naturally makes the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou have to take a limited number of roads to the south.

One of them is that after passing through Yuanwei County, there is a Wulan ferry dozens of miles to the northeast, and if you cross the Yellow River from here, it is not too far from the Hetao area, especially the Huangjuan County.

The other road is the road taken by Zhang Ju last time when he went to the western capital to quell the rebellion, and he went south along the Reverse River Valley, and after passing the Jincheng Pass in Jincheng County, he could enter the territory of Qinzhou.

There is another one, which is to turn west in the upstream of the reverse water, pass through Haokang County and then go south to Yunjie County, and then go south through Baitu County, after passing the Imjin Pass, and then pass the old crow fort to enter Longxi County.

And now, Zhou Tong's 3,000 men and horses are stationed in the county of Yuanwei, and Hu Tian leads 2,000 men and horses to garrison in Haokang County. In Jincheng Pass, Qingshi Pass and several places in Jincheng County, there are also 3,000 people stationed in total.

In this way, the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou will not be able to bypass the defense of the Huashan army no matter what.

For Zhou Tong and them, there is naturally no problem in defense, but due to the large number of enemy troops, there should still be a tacit understanding between the two. Not only the two of them, but also the guards of Jincheng County, they all had to be discussed first.

On the third day when Zhou Tong and the others learned the news, the soldiers and horses on the Liangzhou side went south.

"General, the news I just found out, this time it is still led by Zhang Ju and Niu Ba, and 30,000 soldiers and horses are coming out of Gulang Gorge Pass, and they are coming towards us!" The scout spies sent out reported the latest news to Zhou Tong.

"Thirty thousand! That's a lot of people! However, Zhang Ju really doesn't have a long memory, Zhang Ju and they were defeated in our hands last time, and this time they actually sent them out to lead the troops! This is really not afraid of death! Hearing the news, Zhou Tong couldn't help but smile.

"There are actually a lot of generals in Liangzhou, but Zhang Ju is Zhang Qiang's younger brother after all, for Zhang Qiang, who has just experienced a rebellion, there is no one more trustworthy than his younger brother! But that's a good thing for us! A general next to him, after hearing this, said.

"That's right! Send someone to report the news to the general immediately, and inform General Hu to get ready! Let the brothers below cheer up, the war is about to start, we can't relax! Zhou Tong agreed with this, and after a pause, he ordered.

Compared to Jincheng's side, the soldiers and horses in other places may have gotten the news of Zhang Ping's actions faster. The Yan Kingdom in the east was the closest to Zhang Ping, so almost on the day he arrived outside Yong'an County, the soldiers and horses from all over the country had already set off.

And the Hu people are actually not far from Taiyuan. Especially Zhuge Xiang, before they acted, they sent people to report the news. In this way, the time of Hu Ren's action is not much different from Zhang Ping's.

So, a few days after Li Xin arrived in Yong'an County, the messengers from Shangdang, Xiaoguan, Luguan and Jincheng were almost endless, and the sound of horses' hooves echoed incessantly on the streets of Chang'an City.

At this time, even the most indifferent people began to become nervous.

"Hey, you see the messengers running around these days, what the hell is going on?" The people gathered together and talked one after another.

"You haven't heard! That Zhang Ping from Bingzhou called a few days ago! No, didn't the general lead the army to Yongan County a few days ago! Now the two sides are fighting there! "There were some well-informed people who immediately said.

"Oh! Then there wouldn't be so many messengers, would it? I think there is something going on here, it seems that it is not only something on the east side of the Pingyang River! "Of course, some people think it's not that simple.

"I've inquired! This time, Zhang Ping sent 50,000 troops to the south, and he also colluded with Yan Guo to send troops to attack Shangdang, and the Hu people in the north attacked Beidi County and Shangjun. There are also the people of Liangzhou who suffered a loss in our hands a few years ago, and it is said that they also sent troops to recapture Jincheng County! You say, "Wouldn't there be so many messengers for such a big thing?" Someone whispered.

"Wow!" This news really shocked everyone!

"Damn Zhang Ping, if he wants to beat us himself, he even found a group of helpers, it's really shameless!"

"That's right! Last time he was defeated in the hands of the general, this time he still has the face to provoke again! If we really let them call, wouldn't our peaceful life that has just passed two years be gone? ”

As soon as they thought of having to return to the chaotic and precarious life of the past, the people couldn't help but be full of resentment towards Zhang Ping. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Eastern Jin Dynasty Tang Wang's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
