Street Pavilion, also called Street Spring Pavilion. Here is one of the two roads that must be passed through to enter Xiliang from Guanzhong, and it has always been a battleground for soldiers.

From Guanzhong to Liangzhou, there are two roads, one is the road between Chencang and Shangtai, but this road has been blocked by Xue Rengui and Ma Chao. In addition, next to this road is Sanguan, which can be cut off by Zhang Yijun at any time, and Cao Cao will definitely not go from here.

Cao Cao pursued Ma Chao from the north and settled in Anding, so the street pavilion became the most suitable road for Cao Cao.

Han Sui received Ma Chao's letter, and it was quite difficult at first. However, his advisor Cheng Gongying persuaded him to accept Ma Chao's proposal: "The reason why the lord and Ma Mengqi failed was because of internal discord. Although the lord's military strength was mostly before, it was about the same as Ma Mengqi, and Ma Mengqi was not convinced by the lord. Now that Zhang Yi's subordinates are involved, the military strength is directly above the lord and Ma Mengqi, and Ma Mengqi will definitely not dare to make a mistake. The lord can cooperate with him to defeat Cao Cao, and also keep the lord's position in Liangzhou. ”

Han Sui said: "Zhang Yi must be interested in Liangzhou, will he let us be allowed in Liangzhou?" ”

Cheng Gongying said: "For the time being, we will not have any conflict with Zhang Yi. After defeating Cao Cao, the lord can lead the troops into Guanzhong with Ma Mengqi, as long as he can gain a foothold in Guanzhong, does the lord still care about Xiliang? ”

Han Sui still had some hesitation: "I'm afraid that Zhang Yi will turn his face and not recognize people." ”

Cheng Gongying said: "Although we haven't heard much about Zhang Yi's deeds, there are no rumors that Zhang Yi is a treacherous person. ”

Han Sui nodded, the so-called good things don't go out and evil things go thousands of miles, and I haven't heard Zhang Yi's bad rumors, which is the biggest guarantee for Zhang Yi's character. Only then did Han Sui agree to Ma Chao's proposal and march into Longxian. After arriving in Longxian, he joined Yan Yan and others.

After all, Han Sui has been famous for a long time, and Yan Yan is also a famous general in Shuzhong, and the two are on equal footing when they talk. Although Han Sui's official position is higher than Yan Yan's, he also needs to listen to Yan Yan's opinions now, and Yan Yan did not embarrass Han Sui, and he also attaches great importance to the opinions of Cheng Gongying and others.

On the day of the meeting, Cheng Gongying offered a plan and said: "The street pavilion has always been a battleground for soldiers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if our army holds the street pavilion, Cao Cao can not enter Liangzhou." Cao Cao's troops are far away, and the food consumption is very large, and Cao Cao will inevitably withdraw his troops in two or three months. ”

After Yan Yan heard this, he immediately felt that this strategy was very good, and immediately led the army with Han Sui to the street pavilion. There are mountains on both sides of the street pavilion, Yan Yan asked Han Sui to garrison one mountain, and sent Wang Ping to garrison another mountain. Because of the strong wind on the mountain, Yan Yan took out 10,000 down jackets from his supplies and gave them to Han Sui, asking him to send them to his subordinates.

After Yan Yan and the others set up camp, Cao Cao's army arrived. Because the road was too far, Cao Cao did not bring too many troops, only brought 50,000 troops, brought Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He, and left Xu Huang to garrison Guanzhong to prevent Zhang Yi's army in Hanzhong from suddenly killing and seizing Guanzhong. He didn't want the fruit trees he had planted with great difficulty to be picked by Zhang Yi for peaches.

Cao Cao originally wanted to take Han Sui and Ma Chao in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect to meet Zhang Yi's army just before he entered Liangzhou. When he saw the biggest banner on the Yan Yan camp, he felt very angry.

Despite his anger, Cao Cao did not attack, and his army was exhausted after marching hundreds of miles. Moreover, the three military camps of the enemy army are very close to each other, and it does not take a cup of tea to support each other, and on the mountains on both sides, you can shoot directly to the road with a bow and crossbow. It is not advisable to attack the large camp on the main road, but it is also not advisable to attack the large camp on the hills on both sides, the mountains are somewhat steep, and attacking the large camp on the mountains will definitely cause heavy losses.

It is not possible to cut off the water source on the mountain, because the camp of the Dao will not allow it, and the water source of the mountain is also transported from the camp of the Dao.

Cao Cao tried to attack for two days, but he was easily repulsed.

At this time, Wei Rui rushed over with 7,000 men and horses and stationed in Yan Yan's camp.

Wei Rui didn't bring all the soldiers and horses over, nor did he bring all the generals over, only Zhang Jiayu. The remaining Zhu Huan, Chen Bangyan, and Chen Zizhuang all stayed in Ji County. Because they also want to collect the two counties of Hanyang and Longxi.

Zhu Huan and Chen Bangyan led 4,000 people to the west into Longxi County, went to Xiangwu and Xiangxian, and then divided his troops with Chen Bangyan, he took 2,500 people to Shouyang in the north, and then to Angu in the west, and then went north to Didao. Di Dao is the seat of Longxi, after arriving at Di Dao, Zhu Huan was stationed on the spot, and then sent people to ask Longxi to guard Kuaiyue.

In fact, there are four counties to the west of Didao that belong to Longxi County, but Zhu Huan did not continue to the west. Because these four counties are now the sphere of influence of another Xiliang warlord, Song Jian, who gathered thousands of people in Zaohan, and has always been in the area of Zaohan, south to Baishi, east to Daxia, and north to Heguan. Song Jian is different from Han Sui, Ma Chao and others, he stayed in the area of Caohan, never went anywhere else, and became the emperor of the soil in the area of Caohan.

Chen Bangyan went south to Lintao, took a thousand people, and was stationed in Lintao. Lintao has always set up the southern governor, because there are many Qiang settlements nearby, Longsang City, Wangqu Valley, Suoxi City, and Xiangwu have five chicken gatherings, all of which are gathering places for Qiang people. Therefore, it is necessary to send troops to garrison here, so there is a southern lieutenant department in Lintao, and Chen Bangyan is the candidate for the temporary southern lieutenant.

After Kuai Yue arrived at Di Dao, he immediately began to carry out Tuntian in Longxi. There are many fertile fields in Longxi, and Sima Yi once used to be in Tuntian, Longxi, as a logistics base to fight against Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was blocked in Hanzhong many times, and the role of Longxi was indispensable.

Chen Zizhuang also led 1,500 men from Ji County to Pingxiang in the north, then attacked Ayang, attacked Chengji in the south, and then returned to Ji County from Xianqin. Since then, only the warrior county in the great northwest has not been taken. Because the warriors were too far away from Pingxiang, two hundred miles, and very close to Han Sui's old nest, Jincheng County, in order not to arouse Han Sui's vigilance, Li Hongzhang did not let Chen Zizhuang attack the warriors.

Taking Hanyang and Longxi is equivalent to taking the most elite areas of Liangzhou, which not only have a large amount of arable land, but also the only way to pass through the Silk Road. Although the Silk Road has now stopped, it is still the richest place in Liangzhou.

Of the ten counties in Liangzhou, three counties have been won, and Li Hongzhang has also started the development plan of Liangzhou. The main function of Liangzhou is actually the Silk Road. However, now the Silk Road cannot be opened for the time being, and the road to the Western Regions can only be opened after all Liangzhou is taken.
