The enemy sent sentinels to patrol the mountain, but Guan Ping was not very worried.

Before setting off, the military division had explained that when the enemy army passed through the plank road, he would inevitably send sentry cavalry to patrol the mountain. Therefore, Zhuge Military Division has repeatedly told them that their ambush army can lurk in a cave.

This cave was instructed to them by the military advisor.

As for the military advisor, why did the military advisor know that there was a cave near the top of the hill on the horse post road?

This is not something he Guan Ping needs to think about.

"Let's go back to the cave, and when the enemy sentry has passed, let's come out again!"

Guan Ping gave an order, and then took a few personal soldiers back to the cave, but in the depths of the grass, there was still a personal soldier on guard.

Leaning slightly, more than a dozen enemy sentry scouts climbed the mountain beam.

One of them jumped up on a large tree and looked around, and if there was any disturbance on the ridge of the mountain, he would not escape the eyes of these sentinels, whose main role was to warn if there was any enemy on the top of the mountain.

The remaining few people followed the direction of the plank road and quickly ran wildly on the mountain beam.

When encountering a smaller ravine, they basically jumped over, these sentry scouts are all jumping soldiers, and some of them are even six or seven warriors in the foundation realm, and they can still walk like flying on the mountain beams.

They had to go several miles ahead of the vanguard army, lest they be caught off guard when the vanguard army was attacked.

The companions were all gone, and the sentry who jumped on the tree to look around did not find anything unusual. 35xs glanced over and over again, and after the detective confirmed that there was nothing out of the ordinary, he jumped off the tree and chased after his companion.

The mountain is high and densely forested, and although there are big trees and deep grass on the top of the mountain, whether there are ambushes or not, you can still see the abnormality at a glance.

After all, the top of the mountain is not an open area, and there are not many places that can be used to ambush soldiers.

It's just that who would have thought that not far from the top of the mountain, there is a cave that can ambush thousands of soldiers?

Before and after the time of the incense, the enemy sentry overturned the mountain beam, and then went away one after another. The guards, who were lurking in the deep grass and did not dare to move, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after repeatedly confirming that there were no enemy sentry lurking, the guards also quietly retreated into the cave.

"General, the enemy sentry has gone away."

After retreating to the cave, the guards reported the situation on the top of the mountain to Guan Ping.

As for what to do next, it's a matter for General Guan Ping.

"Continue to monitor, and when this wave of enemy vanguards has passed through the plank road, let's go to the top of the mountain!"

After pondering for a while, Guan Ping made a decision.

As a general who leads the troops, he also needs to be flexible.

For example, in the current situation, the sentinels of the enemy's vanguard army have already gone away, and under normal circumstances, some generals will not be able to resist climbing to the top of the mountain to ambush. It's just that Guan Ping knows that if he really does this, most likely there will be no accidents.

But what if?

The enemy sentry is not far away, and if you look back a little, you can spot the anomaly. Flash Dance

After all, at the top of the mountain beam, it is not too simple to see if there is an abnormality on the mountain beam in the distance.

Only when the enemy sentries have passed, and then they go to the top of the mountain to ambush, this is foolproof.

Because, the vanguard of the enemy army passed unharmed, and the sentinel to which the vanguard belonged must also follow away. And the enemy Chinese army that followed up will definitely not send sentry scouts to reconnoiter the top of the mountain.

And what they want to ambush is only the enemy's Chinese troops.

……

On the plank road, Ma Chao stared at the top of the mountain, and was relieved to see that the sentries issued no abnormal flag orders.

Although I don't know why the enemy didn't set up an ambush on the horse post road, this is a good thing for him Ma Chao. If there is really an ambush, even if you can detect it, it will not be these Xiliang iron horsemen under his Ma Chao who will be damaged at that time?

You must know that these 3,000 Xiliang iron riders, but his horse is super the capital to settle down in Xiliang!

Xiliang is different from the Central Plains, in the vast Xiliang area, it has always been respected by strength.

Even if Ma Teng is his father, Ma Chao can't get too much funding from his father, he Ma Chao can have today's achievements, and he can have tens of thousands of iron horsemen under his command, which is all his own knife and gun fighting.

In Xiliang, when there is no longer a major conflict of interests, he Ma Chao can maintain the same action with his father Ma Teng. However, if there is a major conflict of interests, father and son meet on the battlefield, which is also the norm in Xiliang.

Therefore, if he Ma Chao tossed all the iron cavalry under his command, he didn't expect his father to support him with many soldiers and horses.

This is Xiliang's rule of survival, and it has nothing to do with family and father and son.

As for the use of troops in Hanzhong this time, one is that Zhong Xuan is strongly invited, and the other is that they are planning a way out in Xiliang.

Although the land of Xiliang is very vast, it is also mostly inhabited by Hu people and Han people.

Now, there are only three princes left in the entire Xiliang, Ma Teng, Han Sui, and he Ma Chao. Of course, many times, others will also think that he Ma Chao is a member of the Ma family's army, and there are only two princes left in Yixi Liang.

At this time, is it a decisive battle with each other to determine the final one who will unify Xiliang, or how to drop?

This question was placed in front of Ma Teng, Han Sui and others.

It's just that in order to sweep away Xiliang, Ma Teng and Han Sui married Jin Lan.

Therefore, as long as it is not the hatred of killing his father and taking his wife, it is impossible for Ma Teng and Han Sui to face each other. In the same way, Ma Chao could not raise the butcher knife to his father and uncle for no reason.

However, Xiliang is so big, and now there are only three princes left.

Next, since it is impossible to attack and annex each other, then we can only find another way out.

Continuing to expand westward?

This road has never been the love of the Han people, who can fight further west to seal the wolf Juxu, but they are unwilling to occupy the Western Regions. In the fixed thinking of the Han people, the west of the Western Regions is a wilderness, and it is not a place for people to stay.

Therefore, the princes of the Central Plains would rather kill rivers of blood on the land of the Central Plains, but no one was willing to expand their territory to the west.

Therefore, Ma Teng and Han Sui's eyes were also aimed at the Central Plains.

It's just that when they marched to Longyou, they ran headlong into Zhong Xuan's department.

Zhong Miao is not a prince, nor is he a general or fierce general with outstanding ability.

However, it is Cao Cao who stands behind the important thing.

Now, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, for no reason, no prince would be an enemy of Cao Cao.

Attacking Cao Cao is not attacking the imperial court?

Although the world is in chaos now, the giant beast of the down-to-earth man has not yet disintegrated, has it?

Of course, Cao Cao's strength was strong, and Zhong Xuan stationed 100,000 troops in Guanzhong, which was also the reason why Ma Teng and Han Sui were unable to enter the Central Plains for a long time.

I was worried about this matter, but I didn't want Zhong Xuan to ask for a joint army to attack Hanzhong.

This request, for Ma Teng and Han Sui, was really sleepy and met the pillow.

Since you can't conquer Guanzhong, it seems that it is a good choice to enter Hanzhong. As long as Hanzhong can be conquered, and then Sichuan and Shu can be annexed, Xiliang and Shu can be connected. At that time, they Xiliang generals were also a powerful prince.

Therefore, Ma Teng and Han Sui readily agreed to Zhong Xuan's request to jointly send troops.
