Arriving in Qinchuan and seeing that there was no Shu Han army stationed here, Shi Bao breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Since the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the central government of the Central Plains Dynasty has always had the voice of abandoning Liangzhou. The reason why Liangzhou has not been abandoned for more than 100 years is, of course, because in the central government of the previous dynasties, there were also firm guards of Liangzhou.

In this generation, Deng Ai, Shi Bao, and Chen Qian were all staunch defenders of the Liangzhou faction.

As Shi Bao, who served as a commander in the two major theaters of Jingzhou and Yangzhou in the early years, of course, he also has his own team. However, because he has been recalled by the emperor of the Sima family to Luoyang as a high-ranking apartment for more than four years, and this time he is in a hurry. So it's too late to recruit his former generals. Now among the main generals under his command, except for Wang Rong and the other three (Du Yu can't ride a horse because of physical reasons, so it is impossible to follow), there are only the second son Shi Qiao and the sixth son Shi Chong. (The eldest son died early, and the others had to stay in Luoyang as hostages).

"How many days have we been since we came out of Luoyang?"

"If you go back to your lordship, today happens to be the tenth day."

"Ten days? Hey, I'm not as good as riding a car after all. ”

"Why do you say that?

"In the past, Zhang Junyi set off from Luoyang and crossed Longshan to reach Jieting in ten days, and now it also took ten days to arrive at the foot of Longshan Mountain. Moreover, along the way, the father also deeply felt that with this bilateral stirrup, the rider was much easier on the horse. And in the past, Zhang Junyi's 50,000 cavalry did not have stirrups......"

"Zhang Che rode the soldiers, and his sons were also deeply respected. However, father, when Zhang Che rode into the army in the past, the Weihe River was not cut off by someone like today. The journey was much easier than ours. Therefore, my father's rapid progress this way, although it seems that it took three or five more days than Zhang Che to ride, but in fact, it is not much worse. ”

"Hehehe, Qi Nu'er, you really know how to speak."

Mr. Shi Chong, the first tyrant in ancient China, who was famous in later generations, was only eighteen years old this year and had not yet been officially crowned. But don't think that he is young, and in later generations he mainly appears as a luxury and pleasure image, so you think that he is incompetent. In fact, on the basis of history, when Shi Chong was a magistrate in the Western Jin Dynasty, he led the official army to be a bandit, rob merchants, and fight this and that when he was a court official, these things could not be done without courage and strategy. Therefore, he is a super gentleman with real talent and real learning.

"Well, Hongzu, have our forwards entered the Longshan Canyon now?"

"Half an hour ago, Zhou Zimei had personally led three thousand people into the canyon."

"Good! This week, Zimei is really a good general, but he hates Du Yuankai, and it is the stinky problem of their family that has suppressed it all the time. If Zhou Zimei can have some military exploits this time, his father must recommend this person to the imperial court. ”

"Report ~~~~"

Just as the father and son were resting in the backyard of the county government in Qinchuan County, a hurried voice came.

"What?"

"Qi Qi Da Sima, shortly after the troops of the former army General Zhou entered the canyon, they met a man who claimed to be Hu Yuan Hu Shiyuan, the son of Hu Xuanwu, the protector of Jingzhou. This person also said that our Longxi army was defeated in Jieting and almost wiped out! ”

"Well, who else knows about this besides General Zhou?"

"Uh...... Because the person who called himself Hu Shiyuan yelled and shouted when he saw our army, there should be many people who knew about it. ”

"Hey, Hu Lie, a mediocre general, gave birth to an idiot son! Well, did he say when the kiosk fell? ”

"I said, it is said that it was on the sixth day of the first month, that is, the day before yesterday."

"It's only two days. Well, there's still a chance! You quickly turn around and tell General Zhou, first, send someone to bring that Hu Shiyuan to me. Second, immediately march forward with the whole army and go deep into the canyon to investigate! ”

"No!"

After the herald went out, Shi Qiao said to Shi Bao worriedly: "Father, this street pavilion was lost too quickly, right?" Could this Hu Shiyuan be a spy sent by Jiang Wei to pretend? ”

Otherwise, although Hu Xuanwei is much stronger than Hu Xuanwu, he is still not enough in front of Jiang Wei. So I think this news is true. It's just that the Shu thieves have just taken the street pavilion now, and we still have a chance to fight. Qi Nuer, put on armor for her father. Hongzu, hurry up and give an order, the main force of our army is divided into two parts, leaving 20,000 to repair and stick to Qinchuan County, and the rest of the people follow Weifu into the canyon! ”

"No!"

……

On the other side, Jiang Wei received the news from the scout almost at the same time as Shi Bao.

"This Shi Zhongrong can be as famous as Deng Shizai, it's not easy in the end." Because Shi Bao was dealing with Dongwu in his early years, Jiang Wei and Shi Bao never fought on the battlefield. However, this did not prevent the military generals of Shu Han and Eastern Wu from exchanging information about their respective opponents. Therefore, after facing the stone bud, Jiang Wei was also extremely cautious.

"Herald! The whole army stopped advancing, spread out on the spot, and seized the advantageous terrain! ”

"No!"

Although Longshan and Qinling Mountains are both huge mountain ranges that turned the road into a moat in ancient times, the geographical landforms of the two are very different.

The peaks of the Qinling Mountains are many, high and steep. As for Longshan, there are also steep peaks and steep slopes, but on the whole, the mountain is still much lighter than that of Qinling. Therefore, although because of the existence of Longshan, the baggage team of this era could not climb over the mountain, but compared with the high mountains and mountains that soldiers could not climb in Qinling, many slopes of Longshan could be climbed.

Therefore, Jiang Wei's development is actually a pikeman guarding the passage at the bottom of the canyon. The Wudang Flying Army was divided into two divisions to control the peaks on the left and right sides.

Soon after all this was completed, Zhou Zhi hurried with 3,000 Luoyang Chinese troops.

After looking at the enemy's formation and military appearance from a distance, Zhou Zhi's reaction was very simple: "Retreat!" ”

……

"Da Sima, the Shu thief has entered the canyon and is arrayed in the canyon. Looking at its military appearance, there are no less than 30,000. The last general was outnumbered, and he did not dare to fight with him, and asked the great Sima to punish him. ”

"Hehehe, it's okay. Zimei's response is not wrong. Well, no less than 30,000, just set up in the canyon and not retreat...... It seems that the Shu thieves are building the city defense of the street pavilion. Time is ticking! ”

It's a pity that some of the 50,000 people led by himself galloped for ten days, and some also galloped for five or six days. So at this time, people are really sleepy, and their combat power has dropped to a very low level.

"I really don't know how Zhang Junyi led the army to gallop for ten days in a row, and immediately started the battle, and took down the street pavilion in one go. It's a pity that my Shibud was born forty years later, and I can't ride a horse for Zhang Che......"

After feeling sorry for his predecessors very untimely, Shi Bao stepped forward immediately, and said without changing his face to the countless shiny arrows of the Shu Han Army: "The Great Jin Sima Shibao is here, which general of the enemy army is leading the troops, please come out and answer!" ”

"Jiang Wei, the general of the Han Dynasty, has seen Brother Zhongrong."

"It turned out that Jiang Boyue was in front of him, and Shi Bao was rude."

After the two old men in their sixties greeted each other, Shi Bao opened his mouth first: "Boyo's original intention was to think of Qin Chuan and then enter Guanzhong. On the Guanzhong Plain, it echoes the north and south of Guan Zifeng, right? ”

"Yes!"

"But now that the foolish brother is blocking here, does Boyo have the confidence to break through Qin Chuan?"

"Hehehe, Brother Zhongrong, wasn't your original purpose to cross Longshan to defend the Street Pavilion? But now that Jiang Wei is blocking here, do you have the confidence to break through Wei's defense? ”

The two of them smiled tacitly after testing each other, and then they both twisted their horses' heads and returned to their respective formations.

Shi Bao was very frustrated here: hurry up and hurry, after all, he was a few steps slower. The street pavilion was lost, and the five counties of Longxi and Liangzhou were extremely dangerous. How should the battle situation evolve below, Shi Bud has a little headache.

But fortunately, Qin Chuan's side was finally blocked. Otherwise, if Jiang Wei also entered Guanzhong, with this amazing field command ability, I am afraid that Guanzhong will be eroded: not to mention anything else, if Jiang Wei breaks into the Fuyi Protector Army Department and contacts the alien races there, it will be really dangerous.

Therefore, the order issued by Shi Bao after returning to the camp was: the whole army withdrew from the canyon, centered on Qinchuan County, deployed troops, and held on the spot.

As for Jiang Wei's side, in addition to regretting, there is actually a rare sense of ease.

It is of course a pity that he failed to break through from Qinchuan to Guanzhong and form a north-south attack with Guan Yi. But in fact, if he really wanted to break into Guanzhong, Jiang Wei would have to take a big risk - after leaving Qinchuan, the grain road would be exposed to the blades of the Jin cavalry.

Moreover, now behind Jiang Wei, there are many problems on the street pavilion: more than 20,000 troops have surrendered, and the invincible Wenyang has not been dealt with yet. When his 40,000 main forces didn't go far, of course those surrendered troops didn't dare to blow up the thorns, but what if they left?

So, if you can't get out, you can't get out. happened to be stationed here for more than ten days, and then when he retreated, he took all those surrendered troops away, and completely solved Zhang Yi's worries.

As a result, the war between the Han and Jin dynasties, after entering mid-November, the battle lines of the two sides began to stabilize.
