Everything is in place, all that remains is a matter of when. After discussing it together, everyone felt that this action could be carried out and there would be no big problem. After the meeting was over, the entire Great General's Mansion began to arrange for this matter. Of course, things have to be done in secret, otherwise, it won't work if Liangzhou is alert.

The soldiers mobilized from all over Guanzhong also entered Tianshui and other places through the Great Earthquake Pass at this time, and then slowly dispersed to all parts of Qinzhou.

On the face of it, such a troop movement is inconspicuous, and there are not many of them! Even if someone with a heart finds out, it is more likely that they will only think that Li Xin is just guarding against the enemy.

After all, most of these troops were placed in the counties close to Qiu Chi. In some other counties, only a small number of soldiers and horses were placed. In addition, Zhou Tong and the others had mobilized the soldiers and horses together before, and they were putting pressure on Tuguhun!

Therefore, the Liangzhou generals who stayed in Jincheng and other places did not take it too seriously at this time. For them, the most important thing is the internal problems of Liangzhou. If you don't pay attention, you may end up doing it.

However, it is impossible to say that it is completely reassuring. Especially after Hu Tianbing left Yuzhong County and occupied Jincheng Pass and Qingshi Pass.

It is precisely because of the loss of these two passes that the Liangzhou soldiers and horses who stayed in the Jincheng area also focused on the Jincheng Pass area, in case the Huashan army entered the Liangzhou territory from there.

In the land of Longxi, since Zhou Tong got the order, he personally rushed to the Old Crow Castle! His 3,000 soldiers and horses gathered here, ready to respond to Peng Lin and others who were advancing westward at any time.

However, judging from the current situation, Peng Lin and them are not in any danger! At least, not to the point where you need to send troops yourself.

"The land of Old Crow Castle is terrainous, especially the main road from the north to the west. Here, it is better to build a pass quickly, so that the army can be stationed here and have something to rely on, and there is no need to place so many soldiers and horses for many years! "It's not the first time Zhou Tong has come to this Old Crow Castle, in fact, since he received the order to garrison in Longxi, he has been here many times.

Therefore, he knew the situation of this place very well, and after many investigations, he felt that a pass should be established here.

General Zhou rest assured that Xiaguan had already gathered a group of people, and he would be able to rush here in a few days. In just one month, a pass will be built! He was accompanied by the county magistrate of Didao County, and when he heard this, he hurriedly responded.

Although the Crow Castle was an important place, the topography made it impossible to build a large city. Because of the topography, it will not be too big to build a castle. Relatively speaking, the amount of work will naturally not be too large.

"That's good! If this is done, the general will definitely show the general the credit of the county commander, and in the future, the stone stele should be engraved, and the name of the adult should be on it! Nodding, Zhou Tong said.

"Thank you for your kind words!" When the county order heard it, he immediately rejoiced.

Being able to leave a name on the inscription on the stele is something that has been passed down through the ages, and it is the most desirable for literati. The county commander made up his mind even more determined to build this pass as soon as possible.

"By the way, gather the people to build the pass, and you can't treat them harshly. The food must be prepared every day, and the work must be paid as soon as possible! This is the rule of our Huashan Army, you have to keep it in mind! After a long silence, Zhou Tong admonished again.

The land of Qinzhou has just been taken, and it is a time when people's hearts are unstable, and this is the time when moral government should be implemented. If ordinary people see that the Huashan Army recruits people to work on a large scale, but the treatment is very poor, they are afraid that the Huashan Army will be classified into the same level as the previous Fu Sheng.

In that case, it would be extremely unfavorable for the Huashan Army to govern the entire Qinzhou. Zhou Tong has been by Li Xin's side for so long, so he naturally knows this and knows what to do!

"Don't worry, the general must remember the general's orders!" The county magistrate hurriedly agreed.

"General Qiyu, the general sent someone to deliver an urgent official document!" Just when Zhou Tong wanted to say something more, a pro-soldier suddenly ran from behind and reported.

"Oh? Hurry up and get it! Hearing this, Zhou Tong hurriedly said.

In a few moments, the official document was delivered to him! He looked around, walked a little farther away, and then opened it to see.

After reading it, he folded it again and again, and stood motionless. The pro-soldiers behind him, as well as the county commander and others, couldn't help but feel strange after seeing them, but they didn't dare to step forward to ask.

"Lord Prefectural Order!" After being silent for a while, Zhou Tong suddenly beckoned to the county order.

"The subordinate is here, what does the general command?" The county magistrate hurriedly ran over.

"It's very important to build a relationship! In my opinion, there is no need to find a people to do this, I am ready to mobilize 3,000 people from all over the country to build a pass! All you have to do is take care of the logistics and make sure they eat! After glancing at him, Zhou Tong said lightly.

"Huh? Yes, yes, after the official went back, he immediately prepared the grain and grass! Hearing this, the county commander couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then responded.

Anyway, if he doesn't need to gather the people, that's a good thing. At the very least, without engineering on you, there is less chance of error.

"Go ahead! Get ready as soon as possible! Nodding, Zhou Tong sent him away.

After the county commander left with the people, Zhou Tong still stayed in place, looking at the dangerous terrain in front of him, and still thinking about what was said in the official document in his heart.

"General, what military orders have been issued by the general?" A general behind him couldn't help but ask at this time.

"Yes! The general has a new explanation, take a look at this official document! Don't let anyone know about it except you and me! Zhou Tong didn't say much, just handed him the official document!

After the general took it and looked at it, his face couldn't help but change for a moment, and then he showed a hint of joy.

"General, the general is really resourceful! If this matter can be really successful, it will be of great benefit to us! At the very least, the threat from the west is largely gone! ”

"Not bad! A great thing indeed. However, the key point now is to talk about timing. If there is no such opportunity, I am afraid that the whole plan will be impossible to talk about, unless we directly tear our faces with Liangzhou! Compared with his happiness, Zhou Tong seemed to have hidden worries.

"I heard that Liangzhou is already in chaos now, and the general has always been unparalleled in wisdom, and if he is not sure of something, he seems to never do it. In short, let's follow the general's instructions, and prepare first, the left and right are in Qinzhou, even if we don't need it, we can withdraw at any time! ”

"It is precisely because of this that I will replace the people who built the pass with 3,000 soldiers and horses, plus the original 3,000 men and horses here, this is 6,000 people. If it weren't for the fact that the general sent more soldiers and horses into Qinzhou, it would really be impossible to mobilize so many soldiers and horses. I'll leave this matter to you! The preparation is real, but so is the construction of the customs! If we secretly spread the news, we will say that we are only mobilizing troops and horses for the sake of Tuguhun and the construction of customs in the west. Be sure to let the Liangzhou soldiers and horses over there at Imjin Pass be unprepared! Zhou Tong nodded.

"Yes, the last general will go down and prepare!" The general said excitedly.

"Also, according to the meaning of the general's official document, this matter is not just an action on our side. I will write two official documents, and you will send someone to Hu Tian and Sun Tie to breathe with each other, but fortunately, there is some tacit understanding when you act! After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Tong remembered something, and hurriedly stopped him and ordered.

"The last general obeys!"

The situation on the side of Lao Crow Fort is naturally very concerned about Imjin Pass, which is less than a hundred miles away. Behind Imjin Pass is the county seat of Baitu, which is controlled by Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qian served as the assassin of Hezhou, and this Hezhou is basically in this place. Although more than a month ago, he had already led the main force north and rushed to Guzang. But as the place where he once lived, the defense here will naturally not be weak.

Especially after the Jincheng Pass was taken by Hu Tian, the guards on the Imjin Pass side also began to worry, for fear that Hu Tian was acting jointly with Zhou Tong and was going to attack Liangzhou in a big way.

Fortunately, judging from the subsequent situation, this time the Huashan Army just wanted to take Jincheng Pass, Jincheng County and Qingshi Pass. After that, Hu Tian stopped and did not attack north again.

This made the soldiers and horses who stayed behind Zhang Qian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and even Zhang Qiang, who was on the way to the north, finally let go of some worries after hearing the news.

If it weren't for the fact that Guzang's trip was particularly important, I was afraid that Zhang Qian wouldn't think so much at all, and would have led the army back to defense.

But the position of the lord of Liangzhou is too attractive for him! Therefore, even though he lost the Jincheng Pass, he only ordered the counties to strictly defend it! He also sent troops to establish a defensive line north of Jincheng Qingshi Pass, preparing to block the passage of the Huashan Army to the west and north.

"I heard that recently, the Huashan Army has been building a lot of construction on the side of the Old Crow Castle, and wants to build a pass! For this reason, Zhou Tong also specially mobilized 3,000 soldiers and horses to work day and night! At the Imjin Pass, the general guarding the pass looked in the direction of the Old Crow Fort from a distance and said to the people around him.

"Yes! Today, there are already 6,000 Huashan troops in Lao Crow Castle! Judging from the last general, we still have to be careful, maybe the other party will call when it comes! A cronie beside him couldn't help reminding.

"What are you afraid of, the Imjin Pass is in danger, even if all the six thousand troops come, it is not easy to do it. What's more, he, these soldiers and horses, still has to stay to deter those guys in Tuguhun, where is the time to fight us! For this, the general of the guard said indifferently.
