Ge Liang led the Longyou army to follow closely behind Cao Zhen, and followed for several days in a row, always feeling that the enemy was retreating too slowly, and was still resisting according to the narrow terrain, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and said to Xu Shu: "What are this Ma Chao and Wei Yan doing in Guanzhong, won't they be in a hurry to seize those county seats?" ”

"Huh?" Xu Shu was looking at the marching map, pinching his fingers to calculate where the various departments should arrive, and raised his head when he heard the words, "Aren't you, according to the current process, what Deng Zhi, Wu Yi and Huang Quan in that Hanzhong should have already arrived in Guanzhong?" ”

"Okay, okay, what are you doing with this!" Ge Liang continued, "You, what are these guys doing?" Why did Cao Zhen's retreat seem to be much slower as soon as he entered the Weishui narrow road? ”

Xu Shu stared at Ge Liang strangely, frowned, and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense?" Since it is entering the narrow road of Weishui, the road is difficult to walk, of course, people have to walk more slowly, and besides, in this kind of place, people are also easy to organize resistance, why do you have to make it so embarrassed, what if many people are crowded and trampled, fall into the river and drown? ”

Ge Liang scratched his head: "You, this place is narrow, when they go out, they will seal the exit in front of them, so many of us are crowded in this place, how uncomfortable it must be." ”

Xu Shu lowered his head, continued to look at the map, shook his head lightly, and said: "It's very possible, but aren't you, Ma Chao, Wei Yan and Deng Zhi who entered the Guanzhong are all guys who can make trouble?" With them here, it shouldn't be possible for Cao Zhen to block the exit with peace of mind. Besides, now that we are all only foot soldiers, we can't let everyone take a long detour like Ma Chao, right? ”

That's right, Ge Liang had no choice but to sigh: "In this ancient battle, if you want to take a detour, you have to rely on horses!" At this time, it would be nice to give me another 10,000 horses. ”

"Huh? What are you talking about, what do you mean that in ancient times warfare relied on horses, and now it also relies on war horses? Xu Shu's eyes widened.

Ge Liang slapped his forehead, why did he think of the car again? didn't explain at the moment, and simply lied: "I'm now, didn't you hear clearly?" I am, and if I am given another 10,000 horses, I will personally lead my army around in front of the enemy. ”

"You still think those guys don't make trouble?" Xu Shu smiled, "Wake up, then Wei Yan is still yelling for horses all day long, you have given Ma Chao everything, where are you going to find horses now?" ”

Ge Liang didn't think so, he couldn't say so, now we have the right side of Long! When Han Sui arrived at Changli, didn't he gather all the Qiang riders?

I don't know how Ma Chao contacted Zhuqiang Hu in Xingguo and other places, Liu Bei reused him and named him Liangzhou Mu, didn't he expect to rely on his reputation in Guanlong Zhuqiang Hu to seize Guanlong? Stationed in Longyou, I didn't use those Hu Shuai Haoqiang at all, and now I am about to enter the customs, those people should take the opportunity to come out to fight for merit and profit, right?

Sure enough, at noon the next day, Ma Chao's nearly 4,000 foot soldiers left in Chengji came to join the army, and those who arrived with them were many people and horses from Qiang and Zhuhu from all over the country. Since the Zhuqiang are mainly nomadic, while the Di people are farming and nomadic coexistence, there are still a lot of horses.

Under the dual appeal of Liu Bei and Ma Chao, there are nearly 3,000 warriors who have arrived together now.

"Look at you, what happened to me? What do you see this is? Ge Liang excitedly grabbed Xu Shu and asked him to take a good look!

Xu Shu only widened his eyes and was pulled by Ge Liang a few times, before he came back to his senses and immediately found the problem: "This doesn't seem to have tens of thousands of riders, right?" ”

"Three thousand! Three thousand is enough! Ge Liang rubbed his hands excitedly, stretched out three more fingers, and dangled them in front of Xu Shu's eyes.

Several Qianghu marshals explained to Ge Liang: "I wanted to help the army before, but General Ma Chao ordered us not to get involved when the enemy did not evacuate Longyou. Now Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen went to Longyou twice, but they were defeated and fled, thinking about coming to Longyou, there will be no Wei army in the future, so we are only rushing over now, hoping to serve His Majesty the Han Emperor. ”

Ge Liang hurriedly greeted all the heroes, couldn't suppress his excitement, and hurriedly said: "I am here to thank you for your support on behalf of His Majesty the Han Emperor!" Now that the hussar general has gone to Guanzhong first, and has been there for several days, I think that I will lead you to Guanzhong together, I don't know if you mind. ”

The heroes hurriedly replied: "We came here to help Da Sima. Da Sima used his soldiers like a god, and during this time, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen had no power to fight back, and fled in the wilderness. If we can follow Da Sima's side, it will really be a blessing from heaven and an honor for us. ”

That sounds so cool! Ge Liang also deliberately stated: "I mean, I will lead you cavalry alone, well, just these 3,000 cavalry, and go to Guanzhong together." ”

The heroes have long understood, of course, they are extremely happy, if they can follow Da Sima to make war exploits, it will be easier to come than the reward they get by following Ma Chao to fight.

Everyone scrambled to show their determination: "Swear to follow Da Sima to the death!" ”

"In fact, there was no need for General Ma Chao to let us wait for the Wei army to withdraw from Longyou before acting. If we attack early, won't we be able to drive the Wei army out of Longyou earlier? Who's afraid of whom! ”

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, if you get the tiger, Da Sima will lead us to attack with all our might!"

Xu Shu was unwilling, pulled Ge Liang, and said softly: "Your heart! You are not familiar with these people, and you have never fought on horseback, so you left the army with 3,000 unorganized cavalry alone and went deep into Guanzhong, what if something happened? ”

"I don't know them well, some people know them." Ge Liang hurriedly beckoned, called Jiang Wei over, and asked the heroes, "This, everyone is familiar with it, right?" ”

Everyone replied enthusiastically: "Yes, of course I know!" ”

"Isn't this Lord Jiang Wei, who joined the army in Tianshui County? How could you not know it! ”

"It turns out that Jiang has joined the army and has already joined the Great Sima, which is great!"

Ge Liang reassured Xu Shu: "Look, it's very familiar!" ”

Then he reminded: "Don't forget, I still have Chen Yin, the former general of Guanzhong, and Hou Xuan here, and there are still nearly 1,000 cavalry led by them now!" ”

Xu Shu glanced at Ge Liang: "You are okay, you still have a former Fufeng man Meng Da, his father Meng He also served as the assassin of Liangzhou." ”

Ge Liang hurriedly gave a thumbs up: "Yuan Zhi is really not a good brother of mine, he is too smart!" can all be integrated and draw inferences. ”

Xu Shu frowned, still disagreeing: "You are now the commander of the three armies, how can you personally risk going deep behind the enemy, in case of an accident, the generals lose the leader, and then it will be troublesome." Prudent, cautious! ”

Wang Ping also answered: "Let me go." Da Sima should not risk himself. ”

Ge Liang shook his head again and again: "Yours all make sense." However, I have to go there in person, just because I am the commander of the three armed forces. Although let Ma Chao and Wei Yan go to Guanzhong to make trouble, the more chaotic the better, but in general, someone still needs to coordinate their actions. You think, according to Wei Yan's virtue, Ma Chao may not be able to control him, and His Majesty the Han Emperor actually didn't let Ma Chao manage him, so if you need them to coordinate their actions, who listens to whom? ”

This is true, this West Road, it seems that only Ge Liang can coordinate them, anyway, Wang Ping will definitely not be able to.

"Foolish!" Xu Shu sighed again and again, "As the commander-in-chief, you left the army and went deep into the pass to command the front army, so wouldn't there be no commander for the more than 20,000 troops behind?" ”

Ge Liang hurriedly said: "I'm leaving, the boss is you!" Among them, you are the only one with the highest official position now. ”

Xu Shu still refused: "I think it's almost too much for you to take a detour to Guanzhong now, maybe before you go around to the front, this Weishui narrow road has already been opened." ”

"Alright, alright." Ge Liang hurriedly stopped talking, "The rear army will be handed over to you, and there is not much to do here, and in Guanzhong, except for Wei Yan and Ma Chao, Zhang Wei doesn't know what is going on, I have to arrange it for him." ”

"I think you're just trying to go wild." Xu Shu muttered in a low voice. (To be continued.) )
