Xiyang, Hanyang-gun.

In the midst of the snowstorm.

A group of cavalry and foot soldiers, nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses, forming a long dragon, is now in the rapid march, the cavalry's hooves roar, raising snowflakes.

"Pass my military order, stop on the hillside in front and rest for an hour!"

The main general, Sima Yi, raised his head, looked at the gloomy sky, and gave an order.

"No!" A few pro-soldiers quickly went to give the order.

After entering the hillside, the troops and horses began to stop to rest.

"General Sima, where are we now?"

The one who walked up to speak was a young man, he was wearing a golden armor, holding a halberd, majestic, his eyes were bright, looking at a vast land of wind and snow in front of him, and asked Sima Yi very directly.

"His Royal Highness King Peng, we have just left Luoyang, Wangyuan County is in front, and there are still three or four days away from Jicheng, as long as we expedite the march, we should be able to reach Jicheng in three days!" When Sima Yi heard this, he hurriedly replied.

"Three days?"

Cao Zhang, this is the first time to lead the troops, and his spirit is unparalleled, and he said wildly: "General Sima, it's better to do this, I personally lead the cavalry first, and I can get to Jicheng in two days, and now Jicheng has fallen into the hands of the Wu people, we must hurry up and recapture Jicheng, we can't give them time to prepare!" ”

"What His Royal Highness King Peng said is very true!"

When Sima Yi heard this, he smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then please ask His Royal Highness King Peng to lead 10,000 cavalry and take the lead in the main force of soldiers and horses, but His Royal Highness King Peng must promise this general one thing!" ”

Cao Zhang is the identity of the Qincha Overseer, and if he is not settled now, it will be very troublesome in the future.

If he wants to be brave, let him touch the nails.

"General Sima, please say, this king will definitely do it!"

When Cao Zhang heard that Sima Yi agreed, there was a surge of blood in his heart, and he was very happy, ignoring other conditions.

"You must let Vice Admiral Yang Xiu accompany you, he is resourceful and will definitely help you attack the city!"

Sima Yi said.

"Good!" Cao Zhang nodded, it is also a good thing to have a military advisor to assist.

Sima Yi's battalion came down, and Cao Zhangwei became resolute.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he and Yang Xiu led 10,000 cavalry, and in the midst of the flying horses' hooves, they broke away from the main formation and marched towards Jicheng.

Looking at the back of Cao Zhang and Yang Xiu leading 10,000 cavalry to leave, Zhang Lu, another member of the army, walked up, looked at Sima Yi, there was a different color in his eyes, and said: "General Sima, you and I are both generals on the battlefield, you must know that the war is in a hurry, the Wu army occupies the terrain, they only have 10,000 cavalry, this trip is bound to be a failure, why let His Royal Highness King Peng go down to hit a wall?" ”

Although the Wu army was the vanguard of cavalry, they had already occupied Jicheng, and Cao Zhang's 10,000 cavalry was impossible to recapture Jicheng.

"Your Highness is young and vigorous, how can I stop it!"

The corners of Sima Yi's mouth raised an unfathomable smile, and he said meaningfully: "The battle of Xiliang is still ahead, with Yang Xiu by His Royal Highness's side, he can't suffer a big loss, and now let him crash into the south wall, it will be good for you and me!" ”

"Huh!"

Zhang Lu understood in his heart that Sima Yi was going to teach Cao Zhang a lesson, he smiled coldly and said sarcastically: "General Sima has no last resort!" ”

"If I have no last resort, Wudu County will not let Wu Jun take it now!"

After Sima Yi heard this, he said with some self-deprecation: "Now we are just seeing one step and taking one step!" ”

This battle has reached this point, and it is still unknown whether Xiliang can keep it.

In the battle of Wudu, he won half of the battle.

But the next battle was a decisive battle, and he didn't dare to underestimate Zhuge Kongming, just with his empty city plan in Baima Pass, it was enough to increase Sima Yi's jealousy of him tenfold.

"Since Your Majesty asked me Zhang Lu to personally lead the army to reinforce General Sima, then please ask General Sima to work together with me to defend Liangzhou and protect the Great Wei River!" Zhang Lu squinted slightly and said pointedly.

"That's natural!"

When Sima Yi heard this, he smiled coldly, nodded, and said very directly: "We want to hold Xiliang and hold off the Wu army, and it is indispensable to let General Zhang Lu assist, if anything goes wrong, you and I can't explain it!" ”

His words have already indicated his attitude, I am the main one in this battle, and you are the auxiliary!

There was no negotiation.

If you dare to play with your heart, I will dare to destroy your 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Zhang Lu's pupils shrank slightly, a chill surged in his heart, and his eyes were awe-inspiring, but he was also a person who was invisible, and said calmly: "I will definitely cooperate with the general to fight and keep Xiliang!" ”

Sima Yi ignored his careful thoughts, now that the sovereignty is in his hands, Zhang Lu's 10,000 soldiers and horses can't turn the sky at all, His Majesty sent Zhang Lu to him at this time, and the purpose is already obvious.

Collect his heart!

In this case, I can only use him as a knife.

This is what Your Majesty means, and you don't blame me for using you.

Sima Yi sneered in his heart, he shook the snowflakes on his body, and then in front of Zhang Lu, he directly spread out a marching map, pointed to a position on the marching map, and said: "General Zhang Lu, Jicheng is very important, we must not let the Wu army succeed, this position is not far from Jicheng, only five days away, according to our spies, there is also a Wu army foot soldiers in this position, about tens of thousands of soldiers, is rushing to help Jicheng, if they converge, we want to recapture Jicheng, it will be difficult, I need the general to block me here for ten days, so that I can recapture the leading Jicheng!" ”

"Is it here?"

Zhang Lu's eyes narrowed a slit, and there was a trace of essence in his eyes, and he looked at the position on the marching map: "This is already the location of the West County City, the only way for Wudu County to go north, is it the main force of the Wu army going north?" ”

"Definitely!"

Sima Yi shook his head: "The main force of the Wu army is still in the city of Xiabian, in the late winter of December, the wind and snow are all over the sky, the weather is cold, their main force of soldiers and horses want to march north in this weather is very difficult, the most important thing is that the road of Qishan is not easy to walk, if they want the main force to go north to Xiliang, at least wait until the beginning of spring, now here is only their vanguard army, their soldiers and horses who went north to Hanyang are divided into two groups, one is cavalry, has taken the lead in taking Jicheng, the other is a foot pawn, the journey is relatively slow, and now it is still here!" ”

He hides a fact.

This is the vanguard army, yes, but the vanguard army of the Wu army located in this place is not only 10,000, but the strength of one army, the fourteenth army of the Wu army, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in four divisions.

This force of soldiers and horses is by no means something that the 10,000 people in Zhang Lu's hands can stop.

"Vanguard?"

Zhang Lu pondered for a long time, and finally agreed, he nodded and said: "Okay, General Sima is the main general, since it is General Sima's request, of course I have to agree, I will immediately lead my troops south, not to mention annihilating them, in this position, I will try to block them for ten days!" ”

"Thank you, General Zhang Lu, for your righteousness!"

Sima Yi arched his hand.

"General Sima, don't be polite, we are all fighting for the Great Wei!"

Zhang Lu was a tiger trapped in Luoyang before, and now it is rare to be released from Luoyang, he also hopes to make a difference, it is best to defeat the Wu army, counterattack back, fight back to Wudu, and capture Hanzhong, so that he can return to Hanzhong again, and rely on his foundation to be a king of Hanzhong.

When Zhang Lu led his soldiers and horses to leave the main camp, a sneer appeared on the corner of Sima Yi's mouth: "Zhang Lu, I wish you good luck!" ”

If this battle starts, whether Zhang Lu can stop it or not, he will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

Kill two birds with one stone.

It not only weakened the only force in Zhang Lu's hands, but also obtained a good opportunity.

An opportunity to fight back against Hanyang-gun.

Hanyang County is a core county of Liangzhou, with the largest population, the most prosperous people's livelihood, and the geographical location is special, contact with all directions, its southeast direction is Wudu County, south is Longyou County, west is Jincheng County and Wuwei County, north is Anding County and Beidi Army, east is connected to Guanzhong, is very important.

Whoever can take the lead in the battle for Liangzhou in the coming year must take Hanyang County first.

Sitting in Hanyang can be the town of Liangzhou.

If you lose Hanyang, you can lose Liangzhou.

He knew the importance of Hanyang, but what he didn't expect before was that the speed at which the Wu army went north to Liangzhou was actually faster than himself.

At the beginning of the battle, the Wu army retreated, and he led his troops to break through, but because the Qishan Road was blocked by the Wu army, he had no choice but to lead the soldiers and horses to retreat to the north and enter the pass from Dasanguan.

After converging the imperial court's reinforcements and winter materials in Guanzhong, he reorganized himself and then went west into Xiliang.

In this way, it naturally delayed a lot of time.

When he led his soldiers and horses to enter the land of Xiliang, he had already received news that Jicheng had been taken by the Wu cavalry.

This is bad news for him.

Fortunately, the cavalry of this Wu army is not much, there is only one division, about 10,000 people, and the main infantry of the Wu army who entered the Hanyang army is still hovering in the western county seat, and he still has a chance to recapture Jicheng.

"Jida!"

Sima Yi looked at the drifting snow in the sky and let out a low sigh.

"Second brother!" A young general stepped up and saluted respectfully.

This is the fourth son of the Sima family, Sima Kui.

"Is there any news from Zhang Renbu now?" Sima Yishen asked with a look on his face.

He was more worried about the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Zhang Renbu, which was a part of the main force that could not be ignored, and broke through Bashu, if it was planted in a barbarian land, wouldn't it be a pity.

"Not yet!"

Sima Kui shook his head and said, "The ghost pawn has sent news that after their main force entered the Jishi Mountain in the west from the location of the White Horse Qiang tribe in the White Horse Qiang tribe, there has been no more news, and even the White Horse Qiang tribe is not very clear about their current location!" ”

"Let the ghost pawn Xiliangtangkou continue to send people to contact, whether it is dead or alive, I want a quasi-letter!"

Sima Yi said categorically.

"Yes!" Sima Kui nodded and said.

"Pass on my military order, continue to hurry, be sure to rush to Jicheng within three days!"

Sima Yi turned over and said loudly.

"No!"

The congregation will listen to the order and continue to pray.

……

At this time, in the hinterland of the Qiang tribe, around the Jishi Mountain Range, a soldier and horse with the banner of the Black Dragon Army were also on the march.

"Where is this?"

Zhang Ren was riding on horseback, his spirit was a little depressed, he looked around the surrounding mountains, and asked through gritted teeth.

"General, there are no people living in this radius of dozens of miles, and there are no tribes to guide the way, we seem to be lost, and the scouts led by Captain Dianman are exploring the way!" A soldier said.

"Damn it!"

Zhang Ren's eyes were cold: "I knew that even if General Ben fought to turn his face with the Baima Qiang tribe, he would grab a few tongues to guide the way, these damn Qiang people, I will make them look good one day!" ”

Because perhaps it was the previous delay in the aid of the Baimaqiang tribe, so that the Baimaqiang tribe was continuously broken by the Wu army, and their attitude towards the Wei army became very bad.

Although they did not fight in the end, the tribesmen of the Baimaqiang tribe did not give them any assistance.

Not even a guideline was sent.

After the White Horse Mountain, which caused them to leave, they could only follow a leather map, like a headless fly, wandering around this place for days, but they couldn't get out. (To be continued.) )
