Zhang Ping and the others finally returned to Yangyi County, and made a detour from the mountain path, which was quite difficult. So, when they returned to the county, the group lost five or six more. Returning to his own territory, Zhang Ping finally breathed a sigh. Fortunately, there are his cronies in the city, so there is no big problem for him to enter the city.

"Envoy, isn't it really as the enemy general said, are we defeated outside Wuxiang County?" The general who stayed in charge of logistics and escort couldn't help but ask after seeing Zhang Ping.

"Enemy generals? Which adversary? Hearing this, Zhang Ping was stunned for a moment.

"Just two hours ago, there were hundreds of cavalry of the Huashan Army, showing off their might under the city for a while, and they had just left. It is through their mouths that the people of the city now know about the defeat at the front, and they ......! The general hurriedly replied, but when it came to the back, he couldn't go on, and couldn't stop looking at his face.

"And what? Why don't you say it soon? Zhang Ping's face sank, realizing that this should have something to do with him!

"Moreover, the man also said that during the battle last night, the envoy left the army behind and fled alone, which is why the army was defeated!" The general said cautiously.

"Fart! Who said that the official left the army behind? This officer fought the enemy endlessly from beginning to end, but in the end, under the sudden change in the situation of the battle, he had to retreat. You must not listen to his nonsense and disturb the hearts of our army! Hearing this, Zhang Ping couldn't help scolding.

"Yes, yes, the subordinates are guilty, it's all the enemy's tricks!" The general hurriedly replied.

"Envoy, this group of people must be the same cavalry that pursued us before. They didn't catch up with us, that's why they came to this Yangyi County. I am afraid that this action is to spread the news of our war and cause shock and terror in the territory. The envoy immediately ordered to block the whole city and put it on strict guard, so that the news would not spread to the military camp on the West Road! Otherwise, the army's heart will be in chaos, and I am afraid that the army of the Western Road will also be in danger! The strategist next to him hurriedly said to him.

"That's right!" Zhang Ping listened, nodded hurriedly, then looked at the general, and said, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Quickly mobilize troops and horses, block the intersection, and must not let the enemy come out. Also, the whole city is blocked, and no one is allowed to enter or leave until the order of the Lord! ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it!" The general hurriedly left.

"Hurry up and take a rest, tomorrow we will immediately rush to Yangliangguan and join Zhuge Xiang and them!" After arranging it, Zhang Ping said to the people around him.

After Peng Lin returned to Wuxiang County from Yangyi County, he immediately reported this incident to Li Xinyu. Although he didn't catch up with Zhang Ping, Li Xin didn't blame him either.

After the battle was over and the battlefield was cleaned up, the armies could finally rest with confidence. But for Li Xin and other generals, it is far from the time to rest. We have to take advantage of Zhang Ping's defeat and carry out the next move as soon as possible.

"Here in Wuxiang County, temporarily handed over to Liao Chuan to garrison, after resting, you can send troops south and take the county seat of Yiyang County. In this way, coupled with the words of Nexian, the north side of Shangdang can be really controlled. I will leave you 4,000 soldiers and horses, here in Wuxiang County, put 2,000 people, and put 1,000 people in each of the other two counties. Especially the city here, it must be repaired by the people now, for the time being, for a long time, this may be the frontline position of our confrontation with Zhang Ping! At the beginning of the meeting, Li Xin entrusted Liao Chuan with an important task.

"General rest assured, as long as I Liao Chuan, I will never let an enemy enter the party." Liao Chuan hurriedly responded.

"Soon, I will send officials from Guanzhong to take over these counties, and the people in the city will slowly recover. In addition, there are two things that are most important at the moment. One is to take down the Shangdang and really control the Shangdang in our hands. The other thing is that the enemy army outside Yong'an County in the west must also find a way to retreat from the enemy! Nodding, Li Xin looked at everyone and said.

"General, the last general is willing to lead his troops to attack the enemy army in Yong'an!" As soon as the words fell, Peng Lin stood up and said.

"General, please let the last general go!" The teenager Lu Guang obviously wanted to go too.

"General, after returning to Shun, he has not yet made an inch, this operation, it is better to hand it over to the last general!" Yao Chang looked at the few of them, and also stood up and said.

"There's no need to fight, I have already arranged this matter in my heart. The enemy army on the Western Front is large, and after a big battle, it is impossible for us to fight another head-on battle with tens of thousands of people on the other side. Therefore, what can support Yongan County this time can only be a surprise soldier, not the main force. Therefore, Li Erhei was in charge of this operation, leading 600 cavalry to march west from Ne County, attacking Zhongdu County and Wu County, and destroying the enemy's grain route. In this way, after a long time, it will inevitably force ~ Zhuge Xiang's army to retreat. Li Xin waved his hand, motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said.

"Don't worry, general, I'll take care of this matter!" Li Erhei patted his chest and said.

"Hmmm! The road is not easy to walk, you should pay attention to safety along the way, and you can go slowly! In short, let everyone pass safely as much as possible. After completing the mission over there, return to the party to join me! Li Xin nodded and gave a special explanation.

The west of Nexian County is all mountainous areas, and if it were not for the fact that it was necessary to act quickly to attack the enemy's grain routes, Li Xin was really reluctant to send cavalry there. It is difficult to travel through the mountains, and if you are not careful, I am afraid that the horse will die.

"The rest of the people will stay with me in the party for the time being. Lu Guang, I will give you a thousand men and horses, you take them to Luxian County quickly, and take this city and Dongyang Pass for me to defend. Peng Lin, you lead the rest of the cavalry and rush to Huguan for me! Catch Feng Yang ~ Stop! Remember, even if Feng Yang runs away, you can't let Murong Ping from the east come in. There are two roads in the north and south of Fukou, and I will hand it over to you and Lu Guang to be responsible! As long as you complete this task, you will be a great achievement! After the instructions, Li Xin named Lu Guang and Peng Lin.

"The last general obeys the order, and he will definitely live up to the general's trust!" Peng Lin and Lu Guang hurriedly received the order.

"Yao Chang, you lead five hundred soldiers and horses to the south to take Tongqi County!" Li Xin said again.

"Yes, the last general must be careful~ things, and dare not have any negligence!" Yao Chang immediately responded.

"General Ben led the rest of the soldiers and horses to take Xiangyuan County and Feng Yang's old nest Anmin City! As long as these goals are achieved, the remaining counties can be left alone for the time being, and they can take their time in the future! In the end, Li Xin said his mission.

After this arrangement, almost all the troops on the side of Wuxiang County were arranged. Because of the large mobilization of troops, it is obviously not enough to rely on the soldiers of the Huashan Army who entered the land of Shangdang.

Therefore, Li Xin had to pick out some of the soldiers who surrendered in Nexian and other places to act with the army.

As for the prisoners left behind after the war, most of them were left in Wuxiang County, ready to be used to help repair the county. After all, there are not many people in the city now, and if they all rely on the help of the people, they don't know when it will be completed!

Because of the urgency of time, even the results of the battle have not been sorted out, so they have to start acting again. After resting for a day and a night, the army set off for their destination the next day.

At this time, the news about the battle outside Wuxiang County had not yet spread. Because the people in the city had evacuated almost at the beginning, there was no communication at this time, so there was naturally no way to communicate.

Li Erhei led the cavalry straight to Niexian, and Peng Lin was also a cavalryman, and he acted the fastest, so he rushed to Huguan first. However, when leaving, Li Xin asked Tu Qi to accompany him! He stayed with Lu Guang and Yao Chang for the last operation, because they could walk together on the journey.

On Liao Chuan's side, after arranging the defense of the city, he immediately dispatched a thousand soldiers and horses, and then went to Yiyang County. Compared to Leping County, that place is actually lonely, and it is more appropriate to say that it belongs to the party than that it is a subordinate county of Leping County.

Of course, counties are set up with various considerations, and sometimes the situation is for a special purpose. But under this situation, it is a crisis for Yiyang County.

Because it could not get support from the north, in the face of the attack of the Huashan army, there was almost no way out when the troops were weak. Especially after learning the news of the defeat of Zhang Ping's army, he finally had to surrender.

This is a great potential crisis for Zhang Ping's forces, when there is no danger, everyone takes refuge in him, and it looks very powerful. But once the danger comes, whether it is a war or a surrender, the initiative is in the hands of the locality, not in the hands of Zhang Ping.

These local forces don't care whether they are loyal or not, tens of thousands of troops can't defeat the Huashan army, let alone the little force in their own hands. As a result, Yiyang County also won very smoothly.

Since Xiangyuan County is closer than other counties, Li Xin arrived first! He led an army of 2,000 and stationed twenty miles from the county seat.

Because Xiangyuan County is very close to Anmin City, it has always been under Feng Yang's control. Almost all the officials in the city were his cronies.

Therefore, if you want to persuade the other party, it is basically impossible. And if you want to attack the city, it will not be enough for Li Xin to have enough strength and it will take too long. Therefore, you have to outwit it.

Because Anmin City is where Feng Yang's lair is located, if Anmin City is attacked, the county order of Xiangyuan County will inevitably order soldiers and horses to go out of the city to rescue. In this way, Li Xin just seized the opportunity.

He divided his soldiers and horses into two parts, one part was hidden, and the other part was to attack Anmin City with great fanfare. His purpose is to encircle the point and send reinforcements, Anmin City is the second target, and Xiangyuan County is the most important place.

As he expected, when the officials in Xiangyuan County heard the news of the attack on Anmin City, there were not many people in the city, and they immediately rushed out of the city. As a result, they were ambushed ten miles away from the city, and more than 1,000 people were directly wiped out.
