Chapter 236: Living Up to Expectations

Flowing clouds dot Yangping Pass, since Yang Huai's army was defeated by Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun's soldiers outside Yangping Pass from time to time rode horses and shoot arrows, but it seems quite leisurely.

When the spies reported that Zhang Lu had indeed rebelled and taken Ba County, the three generals in Yangping Pass were suddenly boiling.

Yin Feng clasped his hands into fists and said: "The two generals take care, I will rush back to Nanzheng now and let Master Yang escort the grain and grass!" ”

After Zhao Yun and Zhao Ang sent Yin Feng away, Zhao Yun said: "Although Yang Huai lost this battle, if it is not as I expected, he will definitely make a comeback again!" ”

Zhao Ang said with a smile: "Then Liu Zhang is now in a dilemma, so although Yang Huai has heavy troops, he can't use them." On the one hand, he wants to fulfill the covenant and attack Hanzhong, and at the same time, it is also to curb our westward advance, on the other hand, he himself is difficult to protect, so he doesn't want to lose a soldier at all now! What a godsend! As long as he dares to come again, we must teach him another lesson! ”

Zhao Yun sneered and said: "Last time it was just a small lesson for him, if he really dares to lead his troops again, we must beat him all over the ground to find teeth!" ”

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, Zhao Ang burst out laughing. Yes, after the previous battle, Zhao Yun and Zhao Ang already had the capital to fight with Yang Huai's army, and the morale of Yangping Pass had also reached a burst level.

In stark contrast to Zhao Yun's army, Yang Huai's army, after being pursued by Zhao Yun for nearly a hundred miles in one go, not to mention losing his armor, Yang Huai felt that he was being chased like a lost dog. He hadn't been in a situation like this in decades.

"Someone! Wine! Yang Huai, who had no way to relieve his sorrows, was depressed. I can only hope to use alcohol to kill my sorrows.

Seeing this, the first general hurriedly dissuaded: "General, you can't drink anymore!" Now that there is civil strife in Yizhou, if you can't cheer up, I'm afraid that the inheritance left by the ancestor will be destroyed in our hands! ”

Yang Huai shook the wine jar suddenly, grabbed his neck and said, "Say!" Who told you that there was civil unrest in Yizhou? ”

After struggling a few times, the general said weakly, "Now...... Now the soldiers all know that the whole army is panicking, and they are all saying that the reason why we lost the battle this time is because the lord does not let the general have a hard time with them! ”

"Fart! Who said this? Who is spreading rumors! Immediately find out the corpses of the five horses for General Ben! After Yang Huai dropped the general, the leopard's eyes widened angrily. There were several flames burning in his eyes.

"Zhang Lu's 'edict' has spread all over Yizhou! For his rebellion. Now everyone in Yizhou knows it, and everyone knows it! ”

As soon as Yang Huai heard the "edict", he immediately said: "What bullshit edict? What qualifications does he have to use the edict, and what did he say? ”

After the general repeated the words on Zhang Lu's edict to Yang Huai. Zhang Lu was furious. A punch directly smashed his subordinates in half. Then he yelled at the general: "General Ben and General Gao have long told the lord that Zhang Lu has ill intentions and has to be guarded against, but the lord has never listened to it!" It's good now. Ba County was occupied by him effortlessly, and he was also known as the 'Shijun' who saved the people of Yizhou, which caused panic in Yizhou! You say, I'm waiting for it, I'm waiting for it, I'm waiting for it! ”

The general choked up when he saw Yang Huai talking and said, and hurriedly said: "General Yang and General Gao are both important ministers of the humerus under the command of the ancestors, and now that Yizhou is in trouble, General Yang and General Gao should come forward to help the lord keep the foundation!" ”

Yang Huai clenched his fists and said after thinking for a long time: "You are right, what should not have happened now has happened, no matter whether the lord did it right or wrong before, those of us who are courtiers must solve problems for the lord, so as to live up to the grace of the ancestors." Pass my general order, after a day's rest, the army will return to Yangping Pass thirty miles away and set up camp, even if we can't take the initiative to fight, we must monitor every move of Zhao Yun's army! General Ben wants to make them realize that if they want to take advantage of the chaos to invade Yizhou, it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky! ”

After receiving the order, the general hurriedly went down to convey the general's order, but after hearing such an order, the soldiers in the army immediately began to talk about it.

"It's enough to just defend and not attack, and now you have to take the initiative to die? Does the lord really ignore us? ”

"This is the way to bring about your own destruction, the way to your own destruction! That Zhao Yun is simply a god general, hasn't General Yang realized it yet? We can never be his opponents! ”

"Maybe General Yang just wants to restrain Zhao Yun! After all, if our army retreats again, Zhao Yun will lead the army to attack Yizhou as if it were no one! ”

……

However, although the soldiers talked, the order had to be carried out. When they set up camp thirty miles away from Yangping Pass, Yang Huai and his more than 10,000 soldiers tensed their nerves almost every day.

Also nervous are Ma Bin in Weibin and Wang Meng in Dasanguan.

The food and grass in the army were dwindling as quickly as the thick snow. Six days have passed in the blink of an eye, and tomorrow, Ma Bin and Wang Meng's army will face the dilemma of having nothing to eat.

Looking at the hungry soldiers, Ma Bin said to Guo Jia: "Strategist, when can we wait for that person!" ”

Guo Jia said: "The heavy snow has just melted in the past few days, if it is not what I expected, there will be good news from the soldiers soon!" Don't worry, don't worry! ”

Ma Bin sighed and said, "Is this not in a hurry?" Seeing that tens of thousands of troops have run out of food and grass, if Na Lu Bu leads his army to attack again, our army will be vulnerable at all! ”

Guo Jia pointed to the soldiers who were still training and said: "Now that the heavy snow has subsided, and the tiger and leopard cavalry has combat strength, then Lu Bu will definitely not rashly send troops to attack us, as long as we hold on for another three or five days, I think the lord will definitely see the surprise!" ”

"On the third and fifth day, the military advisor is not joking, right? At that time, even if the soldiers can still use weapons to kill the enemy, their combat power can be imagined! ”

Guo Jia still said quite indifferently: "There is really no way, then you can only slaughter the war horse!" In short, no matter what, the lord must believe in the next, and dare to conclude now that our grain and grass will come soon! ”

Listening to Guo Jia's words, Ma Bin really didn't believe it in his heart, but at this time, he didn't have any good way except to listen to Guo Jia's words!

Early the next morning, when Ma Bin was still asleep, a soldier reported that the military advisor asked to see him.

After Ma Bin hurriedly got dressed, he invited Guo Jia to enter the military tent, and after seeing Guo Jia's face full of spring, Ma Bin said happily: "Presumably, the military division must have brought some good news!" ”

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Two pieces of good news!" Zhang Lu really 'lived up to expectations' rebellion, and now has taken Ba County, and General Zhao is also living up to expectations and defeating Yang Huai's army, now Yang Huai with more than 10,000 frightened bow birds in Yangping Pass west of thirty miles camp, in the next I believe that it will not take long for the grain and grass in Hanzhong to be directly transported from Yangping Pass to Dasanguan! ”

After hearing this, Ma Bin couldn't believe his ears, and he calmed down his heart with a little excitement: "According to what the military advisor said, then Gao Pei must have led a team of men and horses to attack Zhang Lu?" ”

Guo Jia nodded and said, "That's right!" Now everything is going according to our plan! What a godsend, what a godsend! ”

Ma Bin said: "Zhang Lu really didn't disappoint me, he should have rebelled a long time ago!" ”

After saying this, Ma Bin took a sip of water, rinsed his mouth and said, "According to the opinion of the military division, what should we do now?" ”

"We can put a hundred hearts on the Yangping Pass side, but on Lu Bu's side, he has been silent for the past few days, just to wait until our army is hungry and unbearable, he will send troops to destroy us in one fell swoop, it seems that we have to put on a show!"

After hearing this, Ma Bin roughly figured out what Guo Jia meant, so he smiled and said: "The military advisor doesn't have to tell me how to play this play, you can do it as soon as possible!" In addition, he sent soldiers to tell General Zhao to let him act on camera, and if he could take advantage of the Yizhou Rebellion to capture the city, General Ben would definitely be rewarded, but all this was based on the premise that he would ensure that the grain and grass were safely transported to Dasanguan. ”

After Guo Jia received the order, he hurriedly sent someone to do it.

And since Lu Bu, who occupied the plank road entrance, Dazhai and Xiegukou, he has been paying attention to the movements of Ma Bin's army almost every day these days.

On this day, after he suddenly heard the soldiers tell him that Zhang Lu had rebelled in Yizhou and besieged Yang Huai of Yangping Pass, he immediately summoned Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others to discuss countermeasures.

Zhang Liao said: "If Yang Huai can't resist Zhao Yun's attack, it means that the grain and grass in Hanzhong will very likely be transported from Yangping Pass, and by that time, our efforts for so long will probably come to naught!" ”

Lu Bu nodded rather heavily and said, "Then Yang Huai is not Zhao Yun's opponent at all!" We can't count on him at the moment! Today is the eighth day of our blockade of the plank road and the mouth of the sloping valley, even if the grain and grass in Hanzhong are transported from Yangping, it will take a few days, so we must choose the opportunity to move in these days! ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "General Qiyu, according to the report of the spies sent to monitor every move of Ma Bin's army, since yesterday, Ma Bin's army has begun to be restless, and some soldiers even fought to earn a piece of cake!" It seems that the time we have been waiting for is coming soon! ”

Gao Shun took the initiative to ask: "These days, more than half of the 1,000 cavalry elites under the command of the last general have been equipped with soul-chasing crossbows, and the last general is willing to take the trapped camp to meet the tiger and leopard rider of Ma Bin for a while!" ”

Jia Xu said: "The tiger and leopard cavalry that goes to deal with Ma Bin must be in your camp, but you should understand that Guo Jia is good at using tricks, and Ma Bin's soldiers are all well-trained, so what the spies we sent are just illusions!" They are trying to lure us to the bait! ”

Lu Bu said: "Having said that, if we don't attack as soon as possible, I'm afraid we will fall short!" ”

Jia Xuxie laughed and then slowly introduced his plan to Lu Bu and the others, and several people were overjoyed after hearing it, and immediately started to do it. (To be continued......)
