One of the pieces of information Hua Fei received was from Fa Zheng's report on the actions of his army, which was not what Hua Fei expected, so it was not enough to surprise him, and what Hua Fei was surprised by was another urgent report from Xu Shu, another driver in Guanzhong. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Su Ze on the side saw Hua Fei's face change color, and the white letter paper in his hand also trembled slightly, so he asked Hua Fei softly with concern: "Lord, could it be that something big happened in Guanzhong?" ”

Hearing this, Hua Fei raised his head and looked at the night sky, and sighed and said softly: "Cao Cao has mobilized an army of 100,000 from Luoyang, and he has already arrived in Xihan Valley. ”

"What?" Hearing this, Su Zeyan lost his voice in the cool night breeze and exclaimed, "Then why did Cao Cao suddenly dispatch an army of 100,000 troops and come to Xihan Valley?" ”

"Wenshi doesn't need to panic," Hua Fei waved his hand and said, "We have been raising troops for a long time, although Xu Shu, Zhang Ren and others have worked hard to block the news, but after all, it is impossible to completely do a drop of water, so Cao Cao took advantage of the emptiness of my troops in Guanzhong to attack, which is normal." ”

Su Ze said hurriedly when he heard this: "But he has just won Luoyang to support the emperor, so he is not afraid that he will also be attacked by others, or will he be taken advantage of?" ”

Hua Fei got up and said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao is an extremely smart person, so he also knows the importance of Xiliang, a place where horses are produced, and it is absolutely impossible for me to take Xiliang so easily, so I and Xu Shu, Fa Zheng and others have made sufficient arrangements before starting the army." ”

Saying that, he paused slightly, turned the slightly cool Buddha beads, and continued: "It's just that we all thought that Cao Cao would only send a general to bring 350,000 soldiers and horses when the imperial capital was newly established, but we didn't expect him to personally lead 100,000 troops to attack." ”

"Does it make any difference, my lord?" Su Zeyan asked thoughtfully.

"Of course there is a difference," Hua Fei said with a bitter smile, "If it is only one general who leads 350,000 soldiers and horses to attack, with the danger of Kuihan and Zhang Ren's ability, Cao Cao can only have the effect of containing our army at most, but if he personally leads 100,000 troops to come, it is clear that he wants to attack Cuihan." ”

"Hiss......" Su Ze gasped when he heard this, "At present, Zhang Ren, who is responsible for guarding Xihan Valley Pass, only has 10,000 elite soldiers, and Cao Cao has 100,000 people, the difference in strength is too great, and Cao Cao is a pro-conquest, so the elite soldiers and fierce generals under his command are only afraid that they will all accompany him." ”

Saying that, he looked at Hua Fei and asked cautiously and softly, "Lord, what should I do now?" ”

Hua Fei turned the slightly cool Buddha beads, first looked at the remnant sun in the west that was about to go down the mountain in the cool twilight wind, and then turned his head to look at the twilight in the southeast, and was silent for a while.

Looking at the scenery in front of him, Hua Fei only felt that this scene was very similar to the current situation, and he knew that under his painstaking planning, the Xiliang Twin Tigers were already like the bright red remnant sun in the west.

However, Cao Cao's soldiers were near Guanzhong, where his troops were empty, if he didn't rush back to help, he was afraid that Guanzhong would also fall into darkness; But if he leads the army back to Guanzhong, then after Ma Teng and Han Sui get a chance to breathe, they will inevitably recover again, and they will be in a dilemma for a while.

After a long time, Hua Fei suddenly strode to the bookcase, and waved the book in the scent of pen and ink.

When the number of nights rode fast horses, they rushed out of the south gate of the Yellow River with secret orders, and at the same time there were carrier pigeons that took off overnight and ran to the direction of Guanzhong.

At the same time, Su Ze, who was anxious, also received a strange order - to collect beans in the military rations, and Yang Ang was ordered to lead more than 7,000 Tuntian troops out of the city to the south in the starry night, as for Tai Shici and Xu Chu, Xu Ding, Bao Zhu and other generals were all ordered to act.

In the early morning of the fourth day of the sixth month of summer, when Han Sui of Yuzhong County finally got up, he heard an urgent report from his cronies: "When the sky was about to dawn, a number of horses came south to rush into Zuli County, and then the people of Gan Ning's department coaxed the horses to neigh towards Xiaoguan. ”

"What?" Han Sui, who had just gotten up, asked in disbelief, "Do you know what happened?" ”

"Back to the lord's words," the cronies replied loudly in the cool morning breeze, "the specific situation is not known for the time being because the scouts did not dare to get too close to Zuli County, but I can vaguely hear Na Gan Ning roaring loudly: 'Ge Laozi, Cao Apu'an dares to do this?' ’”

"Ge Laozi's Cao Apu?" Han Sui's eyes widened when he heard this, and he repeated in confusion, but suddenly his eyes lit up and he shouted, "Cao Cao? ”

In the cry of joy, he laughed and jumped up from the couch, rubbing his rough hands and walking quickly, while shouting in his mouth.

"Yes, yes, it must be Cao Cao! It must have been when Hua Pifu was not in Guanzhong that he raised troops to attack Hua Fei's lair, so Gan Ning, who was the commander of Hua Fei's naval army, was ordered to lead the army to Xiao Pass in a hurry, and this Gan Ning must have gone back to help Guanzhong. ”

Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped his steps and shouted: "Come on, immediately order the whole army to cook and prepare to go." ”

"Whoa!"

In the voice of his cronies, Han Sui quickly dressed and walked towards the door, but suddenly stopped his steps and thought to himself: "No, that Hua Fei is cunning, this is not a fucking trick to tempt Lao Tzu." ”

Therefore, Han Sui, who was both suspicious and reluctant, urgently ordered Yan to be the vanguard, led the army of 10,000 people to quickly enter Gaolan County, and sent a large number of scouts to the north of the Yellow River to find out the specific situation of Hua Fei's army.

However, he and Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi and other generals led an army of 25,000 troops, ready to respond to Yan Xing's headquarters at any time, or rush to attack Hua Fei's army to capture the lord of Guanzhong.

At the same time that Han Sui received the urgent report, Ma Chao, who was ordered by Ma Teng to advance the western part of Linyuwei County, also received an urgent report from him when the sun rose in the east.

The scouts claimed that the cool southeast wind could be heard besieging the city, and that early in the morning the men and horses were roaring loudly, and that they could faintly hear the loud voices of those roaring loudly.

"Brothers, Cao Cao's thieves led an army of 100,000 to attack our Guanzhong, and the lord ordered: 'The whole army has set up camp and is ready to leave for Guanzhong to fight the Cao thief!' ”

Ma Chao was both happy and worried when he heard the report, happy that Hua Fei was only afraid that he would be attacked on three sides this time, and worried that the rich land in the 800-mile pass was another opponent who came to grab the territory.

He was going to immediately lead the army to raid Hua Fei's army, but he saw that he only had 10,000 soldiers, so he was afraid that he would not be able to do anything.

Nai hurriedly opened his mouth and shouted: "Third brother, you can quickly ride my thousand mountains and snow to fly to report to your father that you know about Hua Fei's return to the army, and ask him to quickly lead the army to come to support, and I should lead this army to stop Hua Fei's return to the army with all my might." ”

"Yes, brother."

Ma Tiegao responded, turned over in the cool morning breeze of "sassy", turned over the snow of thousands of mountains, and then put the horse in the warm sunshine and went straight to Wuwei City, which was three hundred miles away.

Thousands of mountains and snow travel thousands of miles a day, and the ground around Wuwei is a flat river, this run is really as fast as the wind and lightning.

After Ma Chaomu saw Ma Tieru fly away, he immediately waved his gun and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, follow me to entangle the enemy." ”

Under Ma Chao's order, the whole army of the Xiliang Army roared to the sound of "hunting" under the banner, facing the bright red morning sun and approaching the county seat.

At this time, in the besieged city surrounded by the grass and the leaves of the dwarf artemisia, after the army was fed, Hua Fei's order was also handed down.

The herald guards rode their horses and raised their flags and shouted: "The lord has an order, and he ordered Xu Ding to lead the headquarters to the army first, open the road in the mountains along the way, build bridges in the water and listen to the enemy's situation, that is, there must be no mistake in setting off." ”

Xu Ding waved his sword and shouted: "The army of the headquarters is coming with Xu." Then he led the army to the south of the city as it had left the city.

After the army of Xu Ding was opened, the guards once again passed on Hua Fei's order, ordering Tai Shi Ci to lead the headquarters to be cut off, and the rest of the army followed the Chinese army.

With Hua Fei's order, Ziyi immediately raised his gun, Xu Chu rode his horse, and in the tiger roar of the two generals, the armies from all walks of life immediately followed the order in the sound of people shouting and neighing, and went out of the south gate of the siege and went straight to Zuli County.

Ma Chao led the army to besiege the city, but saw that there were deep ditches and high fortresses everywhere, so he urgently ordered the army to divide the soil into two to fill the pit, and when he could fill in the ground, Tai Shici's rear army had also withdrawn from the siege.

When Ma Chao took the lead in leading the army into the empty city of Yuanwei, he couldn't help but be so angry that even his handsome face was distorted. (To be continued.) )
