Many generals showed surprise on their faces, in the matter of attacking Ji County, it was Han Sui who originally mentioned it, and when attacking the city, the results achieved were also good, why did Han Sui have such words.

"Now that the Han army has successfully attacked our army, morale is high, and it is not easy to break through the city, it is better to evacuate directly to avoid paying more losses." Han Sui said.

The Qiang generals also felt the difficulty of breaking through the city, just relying on the advantages of the city and cavalry, the Han army brought nearly 20,000 losses to the Qiang people, if it was a head-on battle, even if the Han army had tens of thousands of people, it would inevitably be a failure.

Siege is not what the Qiang people are good at.

"Lieutenant General of the Herald Army, retreat tonight, but we must attack the city today." Han Sui said in a deep voice.

"General, why is that?" One of the generals wondered.

Han Sui said slowly: "The Han army has just won the victory, the morale is high, and there is a fierce general like Zhao Yun in the city, if our army retreats and the Han cavalry takes advantage of the situation, won't it put our army in a bad situation." ”

At the mention of Zhao Yun, the Qiang generals fell silent again.

In the afternoon, the Qiang army approached the city, and the attack of the Qiang people was not fierce, but it could only be said that it formed a certain pressure on the defenders, which made the fighting spirit of the defenders even more high.

"Zilong, the Qiang army has just suffered losses, but it launched an attack, why is this?" After Fu Xie saw the actions of the Qiang army, he was really a little puzzled.

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "From the point of view, it must be Han Sui's retreat, and he is worried that our army will pursue him." ”

"I hope so." Fu Xie said, with the current number of defenders in the city, even if the Qiang army retreats, it is also difficult to create trouble for the Qiang army, the war has progressed to the current point, the defenders of Ji County are not easy, as long as the Qiang army retreats, they are the heroes of the Han Dynasty.

"Han Sui Lao'er is insidious and cunning, on the way to retreat, there must be many ambushes, if he retreats, ignore it." Fu Xie said.

Zhao Yun nodded slightly, and agreed with Fu Xie's statement, in the past, the conquest of the Qiang people in Liangzhou paid attention to the collision with the Han army head-on, but after the army had more Han Sui, the commander, a huge change had taken place, and from the current situation in Liangzhou, this can be seen, and Han Sui will be able to get more things when he breaks through Ji County.

The arrival of the cavalry led by Zhao Yun dashed Han Sui's hopes, but Han Sui was still a big hidden danger in the Qiang army.

At nightfall, the Qiang army began to retreat.

On the second day, the entire Qiang camp, without the noise of the past, the scouts came to the news of the retreat of the Qiang army, so that Fu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, since the Qiang army attacked Ji County, Fu Xie was extremely worried, with the strength of the defenders in the city, resisted the attack of tens of thousands of Qiang people's army, the hardships can be imagined, but Fu Xie stubbornly persevered.

When the news of the retreat of the Qiang army spread throughout the city, the soldiers and civilians in the city cheered, and the hateful Qiang people left, and their safety was guaranteed, but seeing the houses in the past have become the scene of today, the joy of many people has been diluted a lot.

Three days later, Zhao Yun asked Fu Xie for his resignation.

Fu Xie pulled Zhao Yun and said: "Ji County can be preserved, it is Zilong's merit, and the soldiers and civilians in the city have thanked Zilong." ”

"Brother Nanrong, there is no need to be so polite, when you come down, you are also on the order of the saint, the Qiang people are rebellious, and everyone will be punished." Zhao Yun said with a smile.

After this incident, Zhao Yun could feel that his relationship with Fu Xie had been greatly improved, although there were no more words of gratitude, if Zhao Yun suffered any difficulties in the future, Fu Xie would not hesitate to step forward.

"Zilong, there is a reluctant invitation below."

Zhao Yun said: "Brother Nanrong has something to say. ”

"I only have one son, named Fu Gan, thirteen years old, the situation in Liangzhou is uneasy, if it is convenient for Zilong, can you bring the dog to Zhao County?" Fu Xie said.

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "This is a trivial matter, Brother Nanrong take care." ”

Fu Xie bowed, if Fu Gan was by his side, although he could give a lesson, but the situation in Liangzhou was unstable, once the Qiang army attacked again, there would be hidden dangers in safety, let Fu Gan follow Zhao Yun's side, you can avoid this problem as much as possible.

When he came, there were 3,000 cavalry, and when he left Ji County, the cavalry became more than 2,300 people, and at the cost of more than 600 cavalry, he helped Fu Xie hold Ji County, so that tens of thousands of Qiang people returned in vain, such a sacrifice was definitely worth it.

The most important thing is that the momentum exuded by the cavalry is more fierce than before.

After leaving Ji County, Fu Gan quickly adapted to it, when the Qiang army attacked the city fiercely, Fu Xie asked him to leave, and now the Qiang army has retreated, he is also a lot more relieved.

Although the strength of the Qiang army is strong, it still requires a lot of preparation to mobilize tens of thousands of troops to fight.

"Zhao Taishou, why does Zhao County have so many cavalry?" Fu Gan asked the question that had been haunting his mind.

Liangzhou is a place where war may break out at any time, and there are war horses in Liangzhou, but in the Liangzhou army, the number of cavalry is very small, just like Fu Xie, there are only 100 cavalry under his command, at most it can only be used to probe news and transmit information, and it is not easy to form a sufficient deterrent when fighting the Qiang people.

Zhao Yun laughed and said, "Nephew, if you want to form a cavalry, you need to have enough money, if not, how to support the consumption of cavalry." ”

"Is Zhao Jun rich? Or is it that Zhao Taishou looted the people? Fu Gan asked again.

"You kid, how can you speak, Zhao Taishou treats the people leniently, if you don't believe it, you can go to Zhao County to inquire." Le Jin scolded.

Zhao Yundao: "The cavalry formed by this official is the income of Zhao County, not only that, but even the taxes handed over to the imperial court every year have not been reduced. ”

Fu Gan looked pensive, after all, he was a little young, although he had experienced a lot of things in Ji County, it was still difficult to understand why Zhao County was so rich for a while.

There were no words all the way, and there was no nervousness when they came, and the speed of the group slowed down a lot.

The war in Liangzhou has attracted the attention of many people, and in the city of Luoyang, there has been a fierce debate about the war in Liangzhou, whether to send a large army to resist the Qiang people.

Especially after Ji County was surrounded by the Qiang army, the officials in the court were also more concerned, Ji County was the state of Liangzhou, once it was broken by the Qiang people, what kind of impact would it have.
