Liangzhou is located in the northwest of Guanzhong, and the counties are distributed from south to north, among them, Beidi, Anding, Tianshui, Longxi, and other counties are in the hands of Niu Fu. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Ma Teng controlled Wuwei, Jincheng, and Han Sui controlled Dunhuang, Zhangye and other places in the west.

Compared with Guanzhong, which is located in the basin, Liangzhou is mostly desert and has insufficient water sources, so it is far inferior to the land of Guanzhong in terms of soil fertility. Liangzhou is barren and borders on other ethnic groups. As the saying goes, one side of the water and soil, one side of the people, the barren land of Xiliang, the more difficult it is for the people to survive, which has caused a unique folk customs in Liangzhou. Just like Dong Zhuo, who was born in Xiliang, the Xiliang soldiers under his hands are also like wolves and tigers, and it is most appropriate to describe it with the word tough.

The people of Liangzhou are fierce, and they are Han and Qiang people live together, and even the more famous Ma Teng, whose wife is also a Qiang woman. It can be seen that it has deep assimilation with other races, and the culture and customs of such a place are different from those of the Han people.

Liangzhou, Liu Wei didn't plan to send troops to recover it so early, because he was too troublesome, and now he went to fight Liangzhou, but he dragged his feet. Therefore, the strategy formulated by Liu Wei is to attack Yuan Shu, which seems to be the most powerful today, to attack Nanyang, and to plant a nail in the Central Plains.

Don't you see that after Cao Cao recovered the Central Plains of Hebei in history, he didn't even make a move against Xiliang, but went south? This also illustrates the trickiness of Liangzhou to a certain extent. It's hard to collect, it's hard to cure!

However, it backfired, although Liu Wei didn't want to make a move on Xiliang so early. But Guo Kan's actions in the Western Regions made Cao Cao and others unable to sit still.

Obviously, Niu Fu and Han Sui took refuge in other races, and Guo Kan unified the Western Regions in an instant. In addition to the time when the brocade guard was destroyed. From the perspective of time, Cao Cao, Wang Meng and others can see that the Spring Festival is the time for their soldiers and horses to attack Chang'an. At that time, when Chang'an fell into the joy of the New Year, the border guards would let the alien soldiers and horses enter the customs, and in addition to the internal family, Chang'an would definitely fall.

Waiting for Han Sui and Niu Fu to join forces to destroy Ma Teng, and waiting for Guo Kan to unify the Western Regions to attack Chang'an, at that time, he will definitely be passively defensive. Cao Cao decided to rescue Ma Teng first and send troops to occupy some counties in Liangzhou as a buffer against Guo Kan in the future. If there is no buffer land, and a battle is fought, won't the people on the border of Guanzhong have a hard time?

Zhao Yun's White Horse Yi attacked first, and Cao Cao led an army of 30,000 behind, and each other, each other, could contain the enemy army. As long as he occupied some of the counties of Liangzhou, Cao Cao could move the people in his territory to Guanzhong and fight against Guo Kan's soldiers and horses in Liangzhou.

However, he said that Yan Xing was defeated by Zhao Yun in Huating, and he couldn't kill Pang De, although Li Yuanfang went to pursue, but in the end he let Yan Xing escape back to Liangzhou.

After Yan Xing fled back to Xiliang, he rushed directly to Guzang in Wuwei County. Guzang is the Wuwei County Governor's Office, where Ma Teng is stationed, and now Niu Fu and Han Sui's soldiers and horses are indeed stationed outside Guzang City.

Guzang is the last city of Ma Teng, the city is broken, if it does not fall, it will die, and if it falls, it will be a traitor, tarnishing the reputation of the ancestors.

Under the city of Guzang, surrounded by Niu Fu Han Sui's army in all directions, now there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses left in Ma Teng in the city, and Niu Fu Han Sui did dispatch 40,000 soldiers and horses, one door 10,000! The city of Guzang was besieged and impassable.

Yan Xing rushed to Guzang non-stop, and two days later, he came to the east gate of Guzang, and Niu Fu Han was under the east gate. Because now Ma Teng, there is only one way to go, that is, to break through to the east and enter the Guanzhong, so Ma Teng has no way to go around the east gate.

Yan marched into the camp and went to see Han Sui and Niu Fu.

"Yanming, are you back? It's good to come back, now Ma Tenggui is cowering in Guzang City, and he hasn't sent cavalry to break through and deliver a message for several days. It's just that his son Ma Mengqi is extremely fierce, and I can't break the army until I wait for the army, you are back, just to deal with that kid! "Han Sui is the lord of Yan Xing, and Han Sui was very surprised to see Yan Xing returning.

A month ago, when Niu Fu Han attacked Ma Teng, Ma Teng still had two counties of mighty Jincheng, so he sent many soldiers and horses to Guanzhong for help. Niu Fuhan was afraid that the news would leak out, so he sent Yan Xing to Huating to intercept and kill the soldiers and horses who asked for help.

Fortunately, Yan Xing was dispatched, and Ma Teng also sent Pang De for help. If Yan Xing hadn't gone, I'm afraid Chang'an would have known the news a long time ago.

In the past month, Ma Teng's soldiers and horses have not been able to resist the combined attack of Niu Fu and Han Sui, so the territory under his command has become less and less. Afraid of being broken one by one, Ma Teng simply hoarded all the soldiers and horses in Guzang. But in this way, the men and horses who sent for help were stopped under the city. Therefore, calculating the time, it is time for Yan Xing to come back.

But who knows, Yan Xing didn't come back voluntarily, and brought back information that was indeed a leak.

"My lord, General Niu Fu, the news has leaked out, and Chang'an already knows our layout! I'm afraid I'm ready to defend against the enemy at this moment! Facing Han Sui's joyful face, Yan Xing said with a heavy face.

"How is that possible? Li Ru, he dared to go to the border in person to investigate? As soon as Yan Xing's words came out, a middle-aged scholar in the camp was surprised and said, it was Jia Xu, who was now serving as Niu Fu's military advisor.

Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "Jinyiwei was destroyed, you blocked the news in Huating, the Chang'an family was in chaos, Cao Cao controlled the military power, Wang Meng controlled the power, Li Ru wanted to keep an eye on the family, and the three of them couldn't leave at all." Except for these three people, no one has the ability to go to the border to check for information! Aren't the three of them afraid of chaos in Chang'an, and go to investigate the news in person? ”

"It's the newly appointed Yongzhou don't drive, protected by Zhao Yun! Du Ming killed people, but unfortunately he was defeated by the men and horses under Don't Drive, I was dragged by Zhao Yun, and there was nothing I could do! Yan Xing lowered his head and explained.

"From Luoyang?" Jia Xu's eyes narrowed, and he chuckled and muttered: "Li Wenyou, after what happened to Dong Zhuo, you have also learned to protect yourself, and would rather go to invite people from Luoyang, rather let people look down on you than take risks yourself?" Is it my honor to make you so afraid of me? ”

Niu Fu's face sank on the side, and he said suspiciously: "Since Du Ming is dead, you have escaped again, Du Ming's subordinates are mostly dead soldiers of the family, and they will not leak the news, how can you be sure that our plan is known by the people of Chang'an?"

A trace of helplessness flashed on Yan Xing's face, and he sighed and arched his hand: "I intercepted Pang De that day, I couldn't bear to kill him, I wanted to accept him to serve us, so I locked him in prison." Later, Zhao Yun and the others came, and I wanted to kill Pang De, but it was too late! Please punish the general! ”

"Humph!" Niu Fu's face was full of anger, but Yan Xing was not his subordinate after all, so he held back his anger and said to Han Sui: "Look at your subordinates, it's ruined our big business!"

Han Sui's strength is not as good as Niu Fu, mainly Niu Fu, now that Yan Xing has made a mistake, his face is gloomy, and he said embarrassedly: "Please also ask the general to atone for his sins and give him a chance!"

"Humph!" Niu Fu didn't turn his head and ignored the two.

Han Sui turned his head in embarrassment and said in a deep voice to Yan Xing: "How can you be compassionate at this time? Let's remember you first, now Ma Teng is trapped in Guzang, Ma Chao'er is very brave, and he can't attack for a long time, you go and behead Ma Chao for me, and you will be guilty! ”

"Wait!" Jia Xu, who had been silent for a long time at this time, suddenly walked out and arched his hand to Niu Fu and said, "General, at this time, we should quickly retreat and return to the county!"

"What did you say?" Niu Fu turned his head in surprise and said, "Back to the county?" Who will fight against me? General Guo's unification of the Western Regions is imminent, and he will soon be able to join us to attack Guanzhong, if they don't hurry up to set up defenses, how can they still have the courage to attack Liangzhou? ”

This is what most people think, Guo Kan will soon be able to gather more than 100,000 troops to attack Chang'an, Chang'an does not strengthen its defense at this time, and sends more troops and horses to defend, is it impossible to attack Liangzhou?

Jia Xu explained in a deep voice: "The best defense is to attack, and now the generals and horses are attacking Ma Teng in Wuwei, and the rear is empty. If Cao Cao and the others take advantage of the situation and take some counties, relying on these places to fight with us in the future, it will be the best defense! ”

"Wen He is too worried, right? There are still 20,000 troops in the rear, and the border in Guanzhong is unstable, where do they dare to attack casually? Now that we are about to take Ma Teng, wouldn't we be empty-handed when we retreat at this time? What's more, if we don't make some merits and kill Ma Teng as a capital to join Temujin, then let Guo Kan come and destroy Ma Teng. How will we be able to hold our heads up then? Han Sui squinted his eyes and said solemnly.

Hearing this, Niu Fu looked certain, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Wenhe don't have to worry, there are still 20,000 troops in my rear, don't say that Chang'an soldiers and horses will not attack, even if they attack, I can destroy Ma Teng first, and then go back to destroy them!"

"General~" Jia Xu tugged at the corners of his mouth, but he didn't persuade after all.

Niu Fu was looking at Yan Xing, and gave an order in a gloomy voice: "Yan Xing, I will allow you to atone for your crimes, Ma Chao is brave, hindering our army from breaking the city, I heard that you fought with Ma Chao two years ago and almost stabbed him to death with a spear?" Presumably your prowess is still above him? ”

Yan Xing arched his hand and said, "There is such a thing!"

Niu Fu nodded and said: "In this case, you go to the city to call the battle, be sure to behead Ma Chao, and the merit will be punished!"

"The last general commands!" Yan Xing's dark color condensed, he gave his hand to the order, strode out of the camp tent, carried a spear, and came to the east city gate to call Ma Chao.

"Ma Chaoxiaoer, come out quickly and fight me to the death!" Yan Xing went straight to the city, immediately raised his spear, and shouted at the city gate.

The defenders of the Ma family army on the city wall heard this and hurriedly went to report to Ma Teng.

"Lord, Yan Xing is calling for a battle outside, naming names, and fighting to the death with the eldest prince!" The soldier reported to Ma Tengbing.

The eldest prince is Ma Chao, Ma Chao is Ma Teng's eldest son, and there are Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, and Ma Dai is Ma Chao's younger brother.

Ma Teng's face sank: "Yan Xing is back?" Isn't Pound then? ”

"Father, I can't care so much, watch the child go and behead Yan Xing, and avenge Brother Huge!" Your Highness, a heroic voice sounded. (To be continued.) )
