Chapter 1186: Ma Chao stopped Tai Shici

Although he chose Lu Bu, Li Ru knew the importance of credit, and in the future, under Lu Bu, he must be the one responsible for making suggestions, if there are generals in the army who support him, it will become much easier in many actions, Niu Fu and Yang Qiu are one of Li Ru's temporary dependences.

Li Ru ordered Yang Qiu to be the vanguard of the army, leading 2,000 soldiers and horses to Hanyang, and then 6,000 soldiers and horses.

After Han Sui, Zhao Yang, and Chang'an's soldiers and horses moved to Hanyang, Hanyang was terrified, and when he faced Han Sui, Ma Teng suffered a lot of losses, for Han Sui, some of the soldiers in Ma Teng's army were just angry, but at this time, the situation in Hanyang made them feel afraid.

The Chang'an army is dispatched, who can stop it, not to mention that the main general of the Chang'an army is Lu Bu, what a reputation Lu Bu has in the world, although the Chang'an army has not been trained for a long time, after there are characters like Lu Bu in the army, no one dares to ignore the combat effectiveness of the Chang'an army, although Ma Teng has been in the army during this period of time to appease the generals' emotions, and the role is not very great.

After Tai Shi Ci led 5,000 soldiers and horses out of the pass, the news of sending scouts to explore the surrounding areas of the army is needless to mention, as a rising star in the army, Tai Shi Ci's prestige in the army is not low, and his archery skills are even more admired by the Burning Sun Archers, who are good at archery.

Open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water to provide support for the rear army.

The road after entering Wudu is naturally not comparable to the cement road in the state.

Soon after Ma Chao entered Wudu, he got the news of the Chang'an army, and he was frightened, but he led the army to Hechi County, Hechi is one of the important cities in Wudu, and it is also the barrier of the lower division, if the river is lost, the lower division will face the attack of the Chang'an army, Ma Chao's intention is to weaken the Chang'an army to the greatest extent in the river, so that the Chang'an army is difficult to advance.

Although there is no dangerous level in Wudu, if you want to enter the river pool from Sanguan, the West Wolf Valley is a must-pass place, although the West Wolf Valley is not dangerous, if it is used properly, it can play a great role, the Chang'an army came from afar, and the understanding of the terrain of Wudu is naturally not as good as Ma Chao, if the vanguard of the Chang'an army is slightly negligent, it is when the vanguard army is defeated.

The vanguard army has a vital role for a large army, not only can bring useful news to the rear army, but also the most elite part of an army, if the vanguard army is defeated, it has a huge impact on the morale of the army, Ma Chao set his sights on Tai Shici.

Ma Chao is no stranger to Tai Shi Ci, after he led his troops to break through Longguan and enter Chang'an, he suffered a lot of losses in the hands of Tai Shi Ci, and now he is going to recover the losses he suffered in Chang'an last year from Tai Shi Ci's body.

Tai Shi Ci led the army to stop at a distance of thirty miles from the West Wolf Valley, it was getting late, Tai Shi Ci ordered the soldiers to set up camp, but he set his eyes on the West Wolf Valley on the topographic map.

According to the display on the terrain map, although the West Wolf Valley is not called a dangerous place, it is a little narrow and long, with a distance of five miles, and two carriages can be allowed to pass through the valley, which can be regarded as relatively wide.

"Gather a hundred cavalry and go to the West Wolf Valley with General Ben." Tai Shi Ci walked out of the camp and ordered in a low voice.

With the speed of the cavalry, he quickly arrived at the West Wolf Valley, and after looking at it for a while, Tai Shi Ci's face showed a solemn expression, the mountain walls on both sides of the West Wolf Valley were very high, and the mountains were even more shrubs, if there was a large army hidden in it, it would be difficult to detect, if there was an enemy ambush after the army entered the West Wolf Valley, it would definitely be a nightmare for the vanguard army.

"Order the scouts to closely investigate the news on both sides of the West Wolf Valley, and they must be carefully investigated, and there must be no negligence." Tai Shi Ci ordered.

Just as Tai Shi Ci was worried, the terrain on the mountains on both sides of the West Wolf Valley can definitely be called complicated, which is also the reason why Ma Chao is ready to teach Tai Shi Ci a lesson in the West Wolf Valley, as long as the army is hidden, even if it is Tai Shi Ci sends more scouts, it will be difficult to find traces, unless Tai Shi Ci chooses not to pass through the West Wolf Valley.

When the sky was slightly bright, Tai Shi Ci appeared outside the West Wolf Valley again, as the chief general of the vanguard army, he must ensure that nothing goes wrong, but last night the scouts did not find too much useful news, on both sides of the valley, there was no trace of the enemy, the more so, the more Tai Shi Ci felt uneasy, what kind of character Ma Chao is, he knows better, even Longguan can be broken in the hands of Ma Chao, dare to lead the soldiers into the land of Sanfu, he is definitely a bold man, He believed that Ma Chao would not let go of the opportunity of West Wolf Valley, and if the same thing was put on Tai Shici, he would also choose to ambush.

Hiding and ambushing is a lucrative business, if the enemy passes through the valley, each person pushes down a few boulders, and the enemy army can be thrown into panic and thus victorious, if it does not pass, it is okay, and the army can be returned.

"General, what's wrong with Wolf Valley?" The general in charge of the scouts wondered, since Tai Shici came to the West Wolf Valley yesterday, he asked the scouts to inquire about the news, but the mountains on both sides of the West Wolf Valley are too large, even if the scouts are given another two days, it is difficult to fully explore clearly.

Tai Shi Ci said: "If Ma Chao ambushes soldiers and horses on both sides, wouldn't it be dangerous for our army to pass through the West Wolf Valley?" ”

When the general in charge of the scouts heard this, he said: "The West Wolf Valley is the only place to go to the river pool, if you don't take the West Wolf Valley, won't you have to take a long detour. ”

Tai Shi Ci shook his head and said, "If you take a detour, it will take too long." ”

After watching the West Wolf Valley for a long time, Tai Shici still didn't think of a countermeasure, so he could only lead the troops back to the army.

After breakfast, the generals in the army still did not get Tai Shici's order, and they couldn't help but have some doubts, the soldiers were fast, as the vanguard of the army, they had to appear outside the enemy's city as quickly as possible, causing enough deterrence to the enemy, although the time to set up camp yesterday was a little earlier than before, and the generals in the army did not take it to heart.

Tai Shici, who was frowning and pondering, suddenly saw the soldier in charge of cooking, who was dousing the firewood after cooking with water, and his eyes lit up, at this time it was close to summer, the weather was slightly hot, and since the mountains on both sides of the West Wolf Valley were overgrown with bushes, he only needed to set fire to determine whether there were ambushes.

Where the fire passed, there was no need to worry about the enemy hiding in it, as for what kind of disaster would be brought after this fire, it was not something that Tai Shi Ci could consider, as a vanguard general, what he considered was to smooth the way for the army in the rear as much as possible.
