Chapter 272: Cao Zhen is in person

As the day passed, the White Water Bridge, which had been fighting fiercely for a day, finally calmed down.

The coalition army occupied the base camp that originally belonged to the Di people, and several generals of Ma Chao, Jiang Wei, Ma Dai, Wei Rong, Zhao Tong, Yang Qian, and the Qiang people fought hard all day without a drop of water, so they had time to sit down and enjoy a meal at this moment.

In the battle, the king of Di died in battle, the general Fu Shuang was seriously injured and died, and only Fu Jian was left in the army of the Di people. He knew that his defeat was certain, and he chose to surrender without hesitation, and he was also invited to consult in the tent at this moment.

Yin Ping was decided, and everyone had a light on their faces, and while devouring the food in the bowl, they discussed the next division of the spoils in a very relaxed tone.

It was roughly determined that the more than 10,000 elites who surrendered belonged to the Han army, and they would be sent to Hanzhong to perform labor; The cattle and sheep and goods belonging to the strong end are divided equally according to the number of troops sent by Han and Qiang.

In fact, the Qiang people also knew that the reason why this battle was easy to win was mainly due to the surprise attack of the horses, and if you really want to count it, the Han army is to take all these goods for themselves, and they dare not have half a word of criticism; But this time, the Han army showed such generosity, which could not help but make them respect it even more.

However, the power of the strong end has almost been uprooted, and a power vacuum has emerged. This core right and interests cannot be shared by the Han army with the Qiang people.

Waiting until dawn tomorrow, Yang Wan's generals led hundreds of soldiers and horses to contact the old troops of Nanyin, Hengling, Shunyin, and Xundi Zhudao to attack Yinping City, and then formed a new army and ruled Yinping County on behalf of the imperial court.

He will also publicize the Luoyang City Farm to the Di people around Yinping, and encourage them to actively exchange local products, cattle and horses with the Han people for daily necessities.

"In the end, the mission is not fulfilled, and the strategy of Pingqiang has finally been completed!"

Looking at the red-faced and satisfied faces of the people in the tent, Jiang Wei let out a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves outside the tent was hurried, and a dusty knight broke into the tent, bent down and said hurriedly:

"Hurry up! A large number of Wei troops crossed the city of Xia Wei and went straight to Yinping! I'm afraid I'll be here at dawn tomorrow! ”

Ma Chao's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he suddenly got up and shouted: "The news is true? ”

The rider knelt on the ground: "The villain was ordered by General Pang Hong to break through from afar and run to death two horses, just to report this matter!" ”

After all, Jiang Wei had an extra layer of thought, and asked concentratingly: "Do you know who is the main general of the Wei army?" How many soldiers? What kind of class is it? ”

"The Wei army has more than 5,000 horses, all of them cavalry...... When they passed through Xiabi City two days ago, the villain saw that their main general was 'Cao', and there were 'Xiahou' and 'Fei' general banners. ”

When everyone in the tent heard this, they all wondered in their hearts, why did the Wei army suddenly appear at this time, when they had already given up Wudu and Yinping County? If it is to fight for two places, and to seek the near and far, instead of taking the near Wudu first, but attacking Yinping, which is farther away?

The atmosphere was a little solemn for a while.

At this time, Fu Jian, who had been silent, bowed down and said: "The villain knows the details, the person who came is Cao Zhen, the governor of Yongliang of Wei, who was invited by Qiangduan to attack your army in the area of Baishui Bridge...... It's just that the strong side was defeated too quickly, but they couldn't wait for reinforcements to arrive. ”

There is still such a show!

When everyone heard this, they all gasped. It must be known that since Cao Zhen entered the main pass, his hands have been stained with the blood of countless Qiang people, and he is known as killing gods, that is, the Qiang people in Wudu and Liangzhou have heard of it.

This time it is really a blessing to invite the heavens, thanks to Jiang Wei's plan, Ma Chaoqi's troops suddenly arrived, and took the lead in breaking the strong end, otherwise when Cao Zhen's army arrived, the coalition army would suffer from the enemy, it would be a fatal situation.

Ma Chao saw everyone's reactions in his eyes, and suddenly slapped the case fiercely, and said angrily: "Cao Zhen'er only brought 5,000 soldiers and horses, so why are you afraid?" If he really dares to come, teach him to endure some hardships! ”

Ma Chao won the battle, and his prestige in Zhuqiang's heart was unmatched for a while, and everyone heard him speak so boldly this time, as if they had taken a reassuring pill, and their faces eased by a few points. After a while, you and I began to discuss every word, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer.

"Good! General Tian said it well! I am willing to follow the general of heaven to destroy the majesty of Cao Zhen'er! ”

"Kill Cao Zhen and avenge the brothers who died in vain!"

"The villain is willing to be a pioneer! Please General Tian must hand over this position to the villain! ”

Jiang Wei shook his head secretly, and said in his heart: "Cao Zhen dares to cross the Wudu and go deep into the enemy territory, which shows that this person is quite conceited about the combat power of the army under his command...... Hmm, could it be that Cao Wei's Zhongjun Tiger and Leopard Rider came? ”

The tiger and leopard cavalry is Cao Cao's starting from Yanzhou East County, and the Qingzhou soldiers began to be gradually organized after the formation of the army, which can be called the world's sharpest, and the selected warriors are one out of a hundred, and have always been led by the Cao family's most courageous and trusted clan generals.

Cao Zhen is Cao Cao's adopted son, and he has been brave and brave since he was a child. Once when Cao Cao took his sons to hunt and play, he encountered a tiger chasing behind, Cao Zhen shot the tiger back, and the tiger fell in response. Cao Cao strengthened his courage and made him a general in the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Moreover, this person was very close to the new Wei king Cao Pi, who served as the governor of Yongliang, and Cao Pi was very likely to allocate a part of the tiger and leopard cavalry belonging to the Chinese army to drive him.

"Cao Zhen himself is a great general, if he leads five thousand tigers and leopards to ride in person, his strength should not be underestimated......

The more Jiang Wei thought about this, the more likely it became, and he couldn't help but slowly get up and paced to the front of the curtain, frowning and pondering.

Ma Chao was already very convinced of him at this time, and waved his hand when he saw this: "And keep quiet, see what Boyo has to say." ”

The generals sneered and turned their eyes back to Jiang Wei, who was isolated at the door of the tent.

Outside the curtain, the originally wide white water was enveloped by mist, like a white line stretched far from west to east, and the moonlight flickered, spreading even more obscurely on the surface of the river.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Wei's eyes suddenly moved, and suddenly a plan came to his mind. He suddenly turned to face everyone, smiled on his face, and said slowly:

"As the saying goes, open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend. Weizheng has a plan, which can make the trend of light and darkness reciprocal, and it may not be impossible to hit Cao Zhen's tiger and leopard ride hard! ”

Ma Chao said excitedly: "Boyo, please come!" ”

Jiang Wei smiled, hugged his fists and said, "Since Cao Zhen didn't know that the strong end was defeated so quickly, he must be desperate to come at this moment." On the way here, Wei saw that there was a valley thirty miles in front of the Baishui Bridge, which could only be passed side by side by several horses. We can make people ambush in the mountains, and as soon as Cao Zhen's army passes, they will occupy the valley and cut off their way back; Then, taking advantage of its chaos, the general led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to attack the enemy head-on. Cao Zhen is losing ground, and it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out! ”

Ma Chao didn't hesitate anymore, and said happily: "I think it's okay, so it's a plan!" The soldiers have a full meal, and they will attack immediately! ”
