On the third day after Sun Tie and his team took Gulangxia Pass, a messenger sent from Haokang County rushed to Yuanwei County. This was rushed after a circle, so the distance was more than a hundred miles, and the time naturally took a long time. Coincidentally, the messenger sent by Zhou Tong arrived in Haokang County one day earlier than Hu Tian's people. In this way, both sides have a new understanding of the current situation.

In Yuanwei County, Zhou Tong and Peng Lin were meeting the messenger sent by Hu Tian to read the official document written by Hu Tian.

Unexpectedly, Hu Tian actually recruited a group of brave men and led them to attack behind enemy lines. I said that in the past two days, Zhang Ju's camp seems to have a lot of more people and horses, it turns out that Niu Ba led the army back! After reading the official document, Zhou Tong said to Peng Lin on the side.

"Hu Tian's big victory is also a great thing for our plan. Originally, our plan was to surround Zhang Ju's army, but now that Niu Ba has run back by himself, it saves us from trying to force them together! God help me! Peng Lin was also very happy to hear the news.

If according to the previous plan, if you want to surround all the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, you will have to score two steps. The first step was naturally to confine Zhang Ju's headquarters army outside the city and let them not leave.

This second step was to send troops and horses from Jincheng and Haogan to continuously advance, forcing Niu Ba to lead the army to retreat to Zhang Ju's camp. Unexpectedly, Hu Tian's sneak attack this time made up for this plan crookedly.

"I'll fix another book later, and you can bring it back to your general!" After reading it, Zhou Tong instructed the messenger.

"Yes!" The messenger hurriedly answered.

It didn't take long for Zhou Tong to write the letter. Considering that they had worked hard all the way, I let them rest for a day before going back. After the messenger left, Zhou Tong continued to discuss the war with Peng Lin.

"Recently, I received an order from the general Kuama, and he has already agreed to our plan. Moreover, the order has been issued to all counties, and some soldiers and horses have begun to arrive day after day. Just wait a few more days for the armies to gather and our operation will begin! However, the general thought deeply and decided that this time we would just surround but not fight, and were ready to use Zhang Ju and them to exchange a benefit from Gu Zang! ”

"It's cold, it's not easy to fight! Now there are still about 20,000 enemy troops outside the city, and if we really start fighting, we will not suffer fewer casualties. The general's concern is indeed reasonable. It's just that I don't know if Zhang Qian will be able to afford the price and be willing to exchange these people back? Peng Lin nodded and said.

Everyone understands this, especially those of them who are on the front line, and they know the situation the most. Therefore, they are not dissatisfied with Li Xin's idea.

"If Zhang Qian does not agree, he will definitely lose the hearts of the people in Liangzhou, which is beneficial to us. If the other party agrees, let's just replenish the consumption in the past few months, which is also beneficial to us! As long as our encirclement is formed, if the other party does not agree, then we will eliminate Zhang Ju and them, no matter what, we will be the winners in the end! Zhou Tong said slowly, since this plan was launched, in fact, the Huashan Army was already on the side of victory.

"Well, it's up to Hu Tian and them now! I hope that after seeing our official letter, he will act quickly! Peng Lin bowed slightly.

On the side of Haokang County, after that big battle, the morale was greatly shaken, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were jubilant. Especially from the camp of Niu Ba, I got a lot of things, and the people in the city also got a lot at this time, and they were even more happy.

"General Zhou, they're going to play big! Unexpectedly, they could come up with such a clever plan in a hurry! Well, if this plan can be successfully achieved, Zhang Ju and they will definitely die! Tell them to come and fight my Huashan army, and they deserve to die! Within the county office, after reading the letter, Hu Tian couldn't help laughing.

"By the way, General Sun, when did they leave?? When you set off, did you already take the Gulang Gorge Pass? After laughing, Hu Tian asked the messenger.

"Little ones don't know! On that day, after the siege of the county was lifted, the little one was sent to deliver the letter. However, there shouldn't be any problems with it! The messenger replied with some embarrassment.

"That's right! If it succeeds, there should be another messenger to let you know! Well, you go back and tell your family general, just say I know what to do. In a few days, a large army will go north along the valley of the Reverse River, and Nanshan will be handed over to me, please rest assured! Hu Tian nodded, thought for a while, and said.

"Yes, the little one will definitely report to the general when he goes back!" The messenger answered, and then turned and left.

After pacing back and forth in the lobby for a few steps, Hu Tian sat down to write an official document. These official documents were mainly sent to the counties of Jincheng County, and before the other armies arrived, Hu Tian had to lead part of the army to take the first step and rush to the north to block the enemy on the north side of the mountain.

Otherwise, if you wait until the armies from all over the country have arrived before you start, I'm afraid the opportunity has already been missed. In total, there are only about 3,000 people in total, although the number is a little less, but it is enough to put it in a few dangerous places to deter the enemy army.

The mountain range in the south of Yuanwei County has two places that can be used by the army. One of them is in the Reverse River Valley, not far from the northeast of Haokan, which road is the widest, and it is also the main road for business travelers to come and go.

This road has two entrances on the north side, about twenty miles from east to west. But when it came to the south of the mountain, it was united again. Therefore, as long as you hold the mountain pass to the south, people from the north will not be able to pass.

The other road, which is relatively narrow, is mainly where the merchant woodcutters pass. The entrance to the north of this road is only more than 40 miles away from the west gate of Yuanwei County, and from here you can also climb over the mountains and reach the south of the mountains.

Other than that, there was basically no other way for Zhang Ju's army to go south. Therefore, as long as these two southern mountain passes are guarded, it is equivalent to completely locking the southward road of Liangzhou soldiers and horses.

At this time, Zhang Ju and the others were still guarding against Hu Tian and them crossing the mountain to attack the camp. I didn't think that the Huashan Army had no idea of fighting them head-on at all, but simply wanted to trap them.

Because both sides have their own intentions, a rare peaceful situation has emerged in the past few days. Zhang Ju sent people to investigate the situation everywhere, wanting to find out what the Huashan army was doing, and while defending carefully, he naturally didn't care about attacking Yuanwei County.

And Zhou Tong and Hu Tian are also busy improving the encirclement at this time, and they are in the process of deploying troops, let alone taking the initiative to attack Zhang Ju.

On the fifth day after Sun Tie and Deng Qiang took the Gulang Gorge Pass, Hu Tian had already led his army to the two mountain passes in the south and began to build barriers, preparing for a long-term defense. At this time, from the place where Longxi was close, there were already soldiers and horses rushing to Haokang County and Jincheng County.

As for the mountain pass in Beishan, Peng Lin's cavalry and Zhang Ju's scouts had already fought several times, and they were completely sealed in the south of the mountain. And as these signs were revealed one by one, Zhang Ju finally realized the great crisis.

"General, judging from the current situation, the Huashan Army does not intend to attack us, but intends to block us to the west of Yuanwei County and north of Jincheng County, so that we will not be able to move forward!" After summarizing the news reported from all sides, the generals below already understood how serious the situation was in front of them.

"Is he trying to force us back to Guzang? After all, the weather is not favorable for both sides, I think, let's just withdraw our troops! Some generals once again persuaded Zhang Ju to withdraw his troops, after all, there was no point in staying any longer.

"Report! Reporting to the general, the messenger sent to Guzang County has returned, and it seems that he has been wounded! While they were deliberating, a soldier ran in from outside the door and reported.

"Let him in!" Hearing this, Zhang Ju hurriedly ordered.

Soon, the messenger he had sent to Guzang for instructions was helped in. However, at this time, there were a lot of blood stains on his body, his hair was scattered, and his expression was very panicked.

"General, the big thing is not good, Gulangxia Pass has been lost, I don't know when it has been occupied by the Huashan Army!" When the messenger entered, he fell to his knees with a thud and cried out in panic.

This news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, instantly stunned all the generals in the tent, including Zhang Ju. Everyone stood there stunned, as if they were all petrified. Especially Zhang Ju, he sat down on the handsome seat almost all of a sudden.

"General, general......!" Seeing this, the messenger hurriedly shouted.

"Impossible, you must be mistaken, Gulangxia Pass is heavily guarded by our army, how can it be taken by the Huashan army in a silent way? It must be you who lied about the military situation, came and dragged him down and cut him down! After Zhang Ju came to his senses, he still couldn't believe it, and asked in a loud voice. Finally, the blame was placed on the Messenger.

"General Mingjian, the little one is not a lie! When the little one arrived there, there was a big battle going on in the pass, and it seemed that they should have sent someone to recapture the pass. The small few people didn't know the situation, but they were discovered by the Huashan Army, and only the small ones escaped in a group of several people! When he heard that he was going to be beheaded, the messenger was immediately shocked, and hurriedly kowtowed.

"General, please calm your anger! This matter is very important, forgive him and dare not lie! The important thing now should be to think about countermeasures, and the rest of the things should be put aside! The generals next to him also came to their senses, and when they saw this, they persuaded one after another.
