In this way, Zhao Yun's 17,000 Chinese troops were stationed twenty miles west of Chencang, and the army was also camped, and within a radius of thirty miles, it was all within the scope of Zhao Yun's army scouts.

The camp is built by the mountains and rivers, not only easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also will not suffer from fire attacks, and after the completion of the village, Zhao Yun took people to inspect a circle, he was relieved, the rest of Zhao Yun should consider the thing, is how to complete the task of the lord, how to take all the cities west of Chang'an at the minimum cost.

Let's say, Xia Houlan, don't look at him when he accepted Zhao Yun's task, he was full of interest, but when he came back, he found that his eldest brother had given him a task that was really not so simple.

Again, even if you don't think about anything, it's just a blind attack, and it's not easy to take Chencang, the western part of China is mountainous, and here is also a place where passes and passes are dense, and Chencang is one of them.

What ancient roads, passes, passes, but not in vain, if it is so easy to take a pass, there will not be so many stories in Chinese history, and there are so many historical places.

In the end, Xia Houlan found that it was the military advisor Guo Jia who was right, which reflected the power of the lord Fu Lin from another aspect.

Xia Houlan also felt more and more that it was the most correct choice for him to follow his eldest brother and worship Fu Lin as the lord, so after Xia Houlan returned to his camp, he closed his eyes and recuperated in the Chinese army tent in the forward battalion.

An hour later, a personal guard of Xia Houlan came in to report, as for why Fu Lin's civil and military forces have personal guards, so what kind of military regulations did they come from? We have all said before, I will not repeat it here, now Xia Houlan's official position is a captain, so he also has forty personal guards directly transferred from Fu Lin's iron guard.

I saw that this Xiahou Lan's personal guard came in and said, "Lord Qiqi, the scout is back, and he is asking to see him outside." ”

Xia Houlan heard the guard speak, he immediately opened his eyes, Xia Houlan first exhaled, then he looked at the guard again, and then said, "Let the scout come in." ”

"No!" The guard answered, and the guard turned and called out to the scout.

After a short time, a scout walked in from outside the big tent, only to see that the scout first saluted Xiahou Lan, and then said, "See Lord Captain." ”

"Excuse me, how is the situation in Chencang County? Have you heard it all? Xia Houlan saw the scout saluting, and he also said.

"Lord Qiqi, the news of the Chen Cang Ancient Road has been heard clearly. It was guarded by a lieutenant under Li Dao, and there were 800 soldiers and horses.

However, the Chencang Ancient Road has fallen into disrepair, and the pass of the Chencang Ancient Road and the city wall of Chencang County have collapsed, so as long as our army crosses, we will definitely be able to take Chencang County. However, there is one thing that makes his subordinates a little puzzled. The scout said slowly.

After hearing the news that the scout said about the Chencang Ancient Road, Xiahou Lan smiled, because this was great news, but when he heard the scout say that there was something suspicious about the Chencang Ancient Road, Xiahou Lan pondered again, so Xiahou Lan then asked, "What's suspicious?" ”

"Lord Qiqi, even if the ancient road of Chencang is in disrepair for a long time, the terrain there is also easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as these eight hundred soldiers and horses are ready to fight, even if we can capture Chencang, but we also have to pay a certain price, but the captain stationed there does not mean to be nervous at all, I haven't even seen their soldiers and horses patrolling and defending, I don't know what conspiracy they have? Could it be decided by the Captain? The scout thought for a moment before saying.

It's no wonder that sometimes, no matter what you encounter, as long as it is in line with common sense, you will think that it is normal, for example, if you go to the street to buy vegetables, if the price of this dish is not a little lower than usual, then you must think, is there something wrong with this dish, is it a problem dish, or stolen it?

Now Xia Houlan had this kind of thought, so he first sent the scout away, and then lowered his head and pondered again.

Although the military situation is urgent, but the soldiers and horses are a major event, it must be meticulous and must not be guarded against, in case of failure, it is small to lose his life, and it will also affect the brothers, and it will live up to the grace of the lord and the kindness of Brother Zhao Yun.

So, after thinking about it, Xia Houlan still decided to go and see it himself, so tonight can only be like this, Xia Houlan ordered the vanguard army to build the camp, and prepare more ordnance to defend the camp, and let his soldiers and horses be vigilant.

Xia Houlan finally returned to the big tent of the Chinese army to rest, he thinks that no matter how big the matter, you must be calm and rest, because the more you lose your temper and the more you are not well rested, the more difficult it will be for your affairs to be solved, and you will encounter new problems.

Crash! Crash!

Tart tart tart!

Of course, it is difficult to talk about things, but just as Xiahoulan slept until midnight, she heard a noisy sound in the camp and the sound of soldiers and horses moving.

The generals who go out to fight, unless it is the kind of rice bucket, this kind of person can sleep like a pig, like the Wenchen generals under Fu Lin, not to mention that they are all geniuses, they are all talents, or have the ability, or are willing to endure hardships.

Therefore, after Xia Houlan heard the voice, he got up from the bed as soon as he turned over, Xia Houlan just took off his armor and did not take off his clothes, so after Xia Houlan collapsed, he raised his hand and put on his combat boots, and walked out of the big tent.

When Xiahoulan walked out of the big tent, he saw that not far from his big tent of the Chinese army, there was a group of his own soldiers and horses, doing something.

Tart tart tart!

So Xia Houlan shouted: "Someone is coming." After hearing Xiahoulan's shout, there was naturally an iron guard guarding outside Xiahoulan's tent, who came over and said, "Lord Captain." ”

Xia Houlan looked at his iron guards, which were also soldiers and horses ordered by the lord himself, looking at these elite guards, Xia Houlan nodded and said, "Pi Si, what happened?" "Pi Si is the name of this person, now the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the identity and status are relatively low, and even many people do not have a name, or do not take the name seriously, this Pi Si is the name of this Tie Wei, it is said that their family was originally a reselling leather business, it sounds good, in fact, their family is also an ordinary people, and this Pi Si is his father's fourth child, so everyone calls him Pi Si.

Pi Siyi saw that Xiahoulan came out to question, so he saluted and said: "Lord Qiqi, Captain Qiqi, is a spy, and when the patrol soldiers and horses were patrolling the camp, they found a spy. But ......" Pi Si stopped saying it halfway through.

Xia Houlan heard Tie Wei say that it turned out to be a spy, he didn't think much about it, he just wanted to leave, but he heard Tie Wei say a yes, so Xia Hou Lan stopped.

I saw Xia Houlan turn around and ask again: "But what is it, tell me clearly." Tie Wei Pi Si, when he saw that he owed his mouth, this was not a big deal, so Tie Wei Pi Si didn't care, and then he said: "Back to my lord, this spy said that he came from Chen Cang, but he said that he was not a spy, it was sent by their captain, and our people asked him what was the matter, but this spy didn't say anything until he saw you." ”

After the guard finished speaking.
