Huo Yi glanced back at Xing'er, Xing'er was just red-eyed, nodded reluctantly, and turned back and said, "Lu'er, change the general's clothes!" ”

"Whoa!"

Huo Yi said to Wang Kun: "General Wang, wait a minute!" ”

Huo Yi arrived in the room, and the maid called Lu'er hung up for Huo Yi seriously.

Xing'er was busy draping Huo Yi while stuffing a jade pendant she was carrying into Huo Yi's armor: "This jade pendant was left to me by my mother, it can bless you safe, you take it!" ”

Huo Yi didn't speak, just looked at the girl fixedly, as if he couldn't see enough, and when he heard the girl's instructions, he just nodded.

Xing'er said again: "Before leaving, go and see my sister and aunt, the last time you left, my sister was very worried!" ”

Huo Yi raised his hand and slowly touched Xing'er's face, but he suddenly found that the armor had been put on, and he let Xing'er's tender hand pull him to Yue'er's door.

Huo Yi's 500 personal guards have been assembled, escorting Huo Yi with the lord's Bai Yu army of more than 10,000 people, going north out of Longquan Pass and heading straight to Hanzhong.

Three days later, when he arrived in Mianzhu, Huo Yi led the guards to break away from the brigade, and accelerated to Fushui Pass. Further north is the outpost of Cao's army, Ma Mingge.

People from all walks of life gathered in Baishuiguan, except for Huo Yi and the military horses of the lord Liu Bei, who had not yet arrived here, the other groups of people and horses were all there.

Counting Zhao Yun's 10,000 garrisons in Zitong, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Liu Feng and other armies and horses are added together, which is more than 20,000.

In the Baishuiguan camp, Zhao Yun was reading the news from the front of him. But he heard the sound of footsteps outside the tent, and Zhao Yun looked up. It was his eldest son Zhao Tong.

Zhao Yun's face was calm, he looked Zhao Tong up and down, and then said: "It seems that you have been trained by your senior brother these days, and you have a bit of a heroic spirit!" What's up? Say! ”

"General. Our army brigade will arrive immediately! Please tell the general where our army should be stationed! Unify and remediate! Zhao Tong seems to have inherited the clear meaning of public and private in Zhao Yun's bones, and said lightly. In fact, the trembling of his shoulders was still because of Zhao Yun's praise, which exposed the excitement in his heart.

"Well, in the southwest of Baishui Pass, the camp has been built, and you can just enter it directly! When will the lord's men arrive? Zhao Yun asked.

"General. The lord will arrive in about three days! Zhao Tong said decently.

"Well, go ahead!" Zhao Yun picked up the silk and bamboo slips on the case again and looked at them carefully.

"Whoa!"

Zhao Tong walked out of the camp gate and went straight to the south.

Just as Zhao Tong left the camp, Liu Feng entered Zhao Yun's military tent.

Zhao Yun looked at Liu Feng and asked, "What is the matter with the deputy army lieutenant general?" ”

Liu Feng clenched his fists: "General Yu." Our army scouts were ordered to explore Ma Ming Pavilion north and found a strange thing! ”

"What?" Zhao Yun didn't look up, still looking at the bamboo slip in his hand.

Liu Feng frowned: "The defenders of Ma Ming Pavilion seem to have dispersed overnight, and when the scouts approached this morning, they found that there was no sound in Ma Ming Pavilion, and even the banners in the city were gone!" ”

Zhao Yun put down the bamboo slip, his face was a little surprised: "Oh? Come! Summoned to the generals, they have always been in the camp tents! General Huo's men should have just arrived. Please also arrive! ”

At that moment, a few guards took the order and left.

Zhao Yun didn't see it, Liu Feng's face was obviously gloomy, and his eyes were inexplicably a little cold.

About half an hour, Huo Yi appeared in Zhao Yunzhong's military tent in the dust, and greeted him hastily, while Zhao Yun told Liu Feng the information he had reported.

The generals were very happy, and Liu Feng even said: "Xu Huang has 3,000 defenders in Ma Ming Pavilion, and he has fled away without a fight, which shows that the morale of the Cao army has been taken away by me, and the strength of our army is far superior to that of the Cao army." Our army can occupy Ma Ming Pavilion in one go! ”

Zhao Yun looked at the generals and did not speak.

"The enemy army abandoned the city inexplicably, I'm afraid it is a fraud!" Wei Yan said.

What Wen Yuan said also has a certain truth. General, our army must not advance lightly. If he was wounded by the enemy, the first leg of the battle of Hanzhong would be lost. It inevitably hurts the morale of our army! It's better to wait for the lord to arrive in three days, and then make a decision! Zhao Yundao.

"What can there be an ambush! Xu Huang'er is just a horseman, our army is here, he must be afraid of the strength of our army, and he knows that he can't defend it, so he abandoned the city and left! Huang Zhong said proudly.

Huo Yi looked at the generals in the tent, and he faintly felt that this matter was not as simple as the generals said on the surface, and there was always an inexplicable feeling.

Zhao Yun looked at Huo Yi: "What do you think of Shaoxian?" ”

Huo Yi said: "You can occupy it!" Beware of possible ambushes, though! ”

Liu Feng snorted coldly: "General Huo! ”

Huo Yi ignored Liu Feng's cynicism, just paused, and said: "I think that the Cao army is deliberately shrinking its forces, and it is necessary to gather all its troops near Yangping Pass and Dingjun Mountain to entangle with our army, waiting for Guanzhong to come to help." ”

"How so?" Wei Yan wondered.

"The enemy army is only 30,000 people, thinking that the enemy army must be to find out the number of our soldiers and horses, although Ma Mingge is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but our army can completely avoid Ma Mingge and go straight to Dingjun Mountain. It doesn't matter if it's a horse or not! On the contrary, if you can save your strength and intercept our army in the area of Dingjun Mountain, you can buy time for the arrival of reinforcements! Huo Yi slowly analyzed.

Zhao Yun smiled: "Although Shao Xian is young, he has seen people, General Liu, you quickly lead the people of the headquarters and attack Ma Ming Pavilion!" General Wei, you can lead the men and horses of your headquarters to suppress the formation for General Liu, in case the enemy is ambushed! ”

Zhao Yun is a good man, this news was discovered by Liu Feng, this great achievement in capturing the empty city still has to be handed over to him, so as not to give people a handle, right?

Liu Feng's men and horses occupied Ma Ming Pavilion very easily, but the people in the pass had all been relocated, and all the grain and grass in the city were emptied, which showed that the enemy retreated in a very orderly manner and was not panicked.

Three days later, the military horse of the lord Liu Bei finally arrived at Baishui Pass, and Ma Mingge was down, which inspired the morale of the army.

However, both Pang Tong and Fa Xiaozhi believed that the first battle of Hanzhong would be extremely difficult to fight, and the enemy army had already shrunk the defensive line, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties, and concentrate their strength more, I am afraid that it is somewhat impossible to completely annihilate Cao's army in the area of Dingjun Mountain.

But the army still set off as scheduled, with Huang Zhong as the vanguard, Huo Yi in the end, all the way along the south bank of the Han River, to Dingjun Mountain, but saw that the southern foot was full of Cao army camps, the Shu army had to be on the Han River, stationed on the north bank, and confronted the Cao army at the southern foot of Dingjun Mountain.

The war was about to break out, but most of the Shu army knew that it was a vicious battle. It is impossible for either side to easily defeat the opponent, and the battle situation is not as smooth as Pang Tong expected in advance. (To be continued......)
