"This damn Ma Chao, I just was appointed as the assassin of Yongzhou, and he launched an attack on my city, obviously not taking me seriously, and passing on the order, the whole army and soldiers accelerated forward, and must rush to Lintao in the shortest possible time to defeat Ma Chao. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After hearing the news of Ma Chao's attack, Xu Huang's face was full of anger, and at the same time he immediately ordered the army to march urgently, anyway, with his magical skills, no matter how fast he runs, the formation can remain intact, and no one will be left behind, so Xu Huang has no scruples at all.

However, Xu Huang is too far away from Lintao now, he was appointed as the Taishou of Liaoxi before, although he had already set off for Chang'an in advance, but when he received the news, he had just reached Wenxi in Hedong, and there were still two thousand miles away from Lintao, even if the army marched continuously, it would take at least twenty days to reach Lintao. And although Xu Huang has magical skills, he doesn't dare to let the soldiers run like this, because if he keeps doing this, even if he can't run dead, he will run dead.

"I hope that the guards of Lintao will be able to hold out until my army arrives." Xu Huang silently looked in the direction of the southwest, worried.

However, what Xu Huang didn't know was that Liu He had already taken precautions in advance, and as soon as the above table of appointing Xu Huang as the assassin of Yongzhou was delivered to Luoyang, he appointed Yang Fu, the former Jincheng Taishou, as the Taishou of Longxi, and the general of Yamen, and ordered him to lead 5,000 soldiers to guard Lintao.

Yang Fu immediately led his generals to take up his post as soon as he accepted the appointment, and what is even more admirable is that Yang Fu did not go to the county of Longxi County to govern Di Dao, but directly took office in Lintao, and as soon as he arrived in Lintao, he immediately inspected the city defense, where he found that the city defense of Lintao had a serious shortage of money, and urgently ordered the entire military and civilians in Longxi to take action immediately and build the city defense according to his standards.

In this way, the military and civilians of the entire Longxi County were all miserable, and they complained all over the place, and even gathered people to write to Liu He, asking Liu He to remove Yang Fu from the post of Longxi Taishou, and replace the virtuous Taishou to take office.

However, Yang Fu ignored these at all, and emphasized that as long as he was a Taishou for a day, the soldiers and civilians of the whole county must strictly follow his orders, and in order to show his determination, he also resolutely suppressed several members of the big family who took the lead in stirring up trouble.

At the same time, in order to rush the work, Yang Fu actually disregarded his identity and personally participated in the construction of the city defense, and he was by no means pretentious at that time, but really devoted himself wholeheartedly, working all day, without the slightest shouting and tiredness.

Yang Fu's actions immediately conquered those dissatisfied soldiers and civilians, none of whom stopped talking, and directly joined the ranks of building city defenses without regrets.

As a result, Yangfu's city defense construction was unbelievably completed half a month ahead of the original plan, and the quality was also fully qualified, which made people deeply marvel at this great miracle.

However, there are still people who take the opportunity to say Yang Fu's cool words, saying that his performance like this is just for people to see, and it is useless to do these works now, because it is impossible for anyone to come here to infringe on them.

However, as soon as their words were spoken, before Yang Fu could react further, they heard the dull sound of horses' hooves coming from outside the city, and they all changed color, and when they sent someone to inquire, they knew that it was the enemy attacking.

When all the people heard the news, they were deeply admired on the one hand, and grateful on the other.

The main reason for admiring Yang Fu is that he is far-sighted, and he will calculate that the enemy army is coming, and now the enemy army is really coming, which is enough to prove that his previous judgment is correct, beyond the imagination of many people. And for this point, many people used it to make fun of Yang Fu for being unreasonable.

Gratitude is naturally due to Yang Fu's efforts and supervision, which makes the soldiers and civilians in Lintao City take precautions, so that they will not be helpless by the enemy's sneak attack, so that Lintao City will be spared.

Since then, Yang Fu's prestige in Lintao and even in the entire Longxi has increased unprecedentedly, and no one has the slightest resentment against him.

And Yang Fu, whose prestige has been greatly enhanced, used his prestige to unite the vast number of soldiers and civilians and swear to resist Ma Chao's invasion.

When Ma Chao saw Yang Fu at the beginning, a faint smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth, he wanted to watch his army break through Yang Fu's defense line, slaughter Yang Fu's people, and make Yang Fu regret his previous betrayal.

However, after he led the army to attack Lintao for a few days, he gradually discovered that this Yang Fu was not a soft persimmon, but a steel nail, which was very tricky, and could easily see through his plan, and use his plan to bring him a lot of losses.

"It's only three days to be able to bring so much damage to our army, this, this is simply a great shame! Pass my order, tomorrow's army will attack the city, at any cost, and must also capture Lintao, which is not only related to our face, but also to our life and death! If we win this battle, we can return to our old places, and if we lose, death awaits us! ”

Ma Chao desperately launched an attack, while Yang Fu was desperately defending, and even Yang Fu was injured several times during this period, but not only did he not see Yang Fu retreat by half a point, but it made the opponent's morale more and more vigorous, and the combat power became higher and higher, and in the same way, the casualties brought to his own side became more and more heavy.

"What's going on? What's going on here? Why is the opponent's combat power getting stronger and stronger? This is not my assumption, but there is a factual basis, the opponent's individual combat ability is getting stronger and stronger, at the beginning at most with our soldiers, now one can easily kill the two of us, up to now our 50,000 army has suffered nearly 8,000 casualties, but the other side is probably only a thousand people combined, if this continues, we have no hope of winning at all. Because it is estimated that in three days at most, Liu He's reinforcements will arrive. ”

Ma Chao's face was impatient, he had failed once before, this time he couldn't fail again, because he couldn't afford to fail, this was his only chance, if he failed again this time, then his great cause would be in vain.

However, God seemed to be deliberately against him, just when he was eagerly looking forward to Liu He's reinforcements coming a few days later, he suddenly saw the rear flags waving, swords and guns like a forest, iron horses shaking, smoke and dust, it was obvious that the other party had come to reinforce troops, and there were quite a few of them.

At this time, Ma Chao saw that the other party's Chinese army had a few embroidered gold characters "General Liu" written on the top, which was obviously Liu He's arrival, because there was no second general surnamed Liu in the whole world.

"Isn't Liu He in Yecheng? How did you come so quickly? It's incredible. Looking at this majestic reinforcement, Ma Chao knew that he couldn't compete with it at all, and would even be defeated when the enemy was flanked by the abdomen, so Ma Chao, who weighed the pros and cons, could only grit his teeth and announce his withdrawal.
