On Qishan Avenue, an army of tens of thousands of people is winding forward. There were 10,000 cavalry in the front, and 70,000 foot soldiers followed. This is Zhao Feng's entire army out of Qishan, passing through Wudu County controlled by the Di people from Qishan Avenue, and then defeating Cao's Qishan camp, and then entering Tianshui County.

"Ming said that our army can reach the Qishan camp, and once the Qishan camp is taken, it can enter Tianshui County. The Jicheng of Tianshui County is where Cao Wei's Liangzhou governance is located, and now Cao Wei's Liangzhou Thorn Shi Weikang led an army of 10,000 to defend it, which is easy to break. The only way to do this is to divide the troops into three ways, Meng Qi you and Zilong Xiaozhi together to lead the army to attack Longxi, Yifeng led the army of 10,000 to the north to capture Linwei County, in order to cut off the road from Weishui into Longxi, I led the rest of the men and horses to besiege Jicheng, and guard the street pavilion! That night, Zhao Feng explained his final plan in his camp.

"That's it!" Ma Chao nodded and said, looking at the people in the tent, Ma Chao suddenly said: "Today, thanks to your help to regain Xiliang, Ma Chao is grateful." Don't thank you, after taking Xiliang, if you have anything to do with me, just let me know, Ma Chao will do his best to help! ”

"Meng Qi is serious!" Everyone replied, but Zhao Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said to Ma Chao: "It's not a secret, just because the generals of Gongmiao are in the south to prevent the southern barbarians, but the generals of my army this time are insufficient, and the siege of Jicheng will still need generals, I don't know if Meng Qi can cut his love, and will Ling Brother or Ling Ming lend me a favor?" ”

"It's a matter of duty!" When Ma Chao heard this, he hurriedly agreed, and then said to Pang De: "Ling Ming, you can go to General Zhao for the time being to obey orders!" ”

"No!" Pang De replied repeatedly, and Zhao Feng hurriedly thanked him. After a few more discussions, Ma Chao and the others all took their leave, and in the end, in the empty tent, except for Zhao Feng, only Ma Jian remained.

"Youchang, is there something wrong?" Zhao Feng looked at Ma Yan, who was about to speak and stopped, and asked a little strangely.

"General, you mean that you are going to personally lead the army to the street guard pavilion?" Ma Tan hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

"Yes, the street pavilion is important, it is related to the success or failure of this march, I naturally have to guard here!" Zhao Feng is rightfully authentic. Hearing this, Ma Yan frowned and said: "The general is the commander of the three armies, and he is in charge of the center, why do you want to go to a small place like Shoujie Pavilion?" I think it's better for the general to attack Jicheng, and I'll defend the street pavilion! ”

"Poof!" Zhao Feng squirted out another sip of tea when he heard this, regardless of Ma Tan's surprise, he looked at him several times from beginning to end, until he was about to look at Ma Tan, and then he said with some difficulty: "You said you were going to the Street Guarding Pavilion?" ”

"Yes, the street pavilion is small, let me guard it!" Ma Jian said as a matter of course, and as soon as the words came out, he suddenly found that something was wrong, because Zhao Feng looked at him with a very serious expression, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Seeing that Ma Jian was a little nervous, Zhao Feng sighed and said: "Young Chang, although the army of Xiahou Yuan is now contained in Weinan by justice, once we enter Tianshui County, the defenders will definitely send someone to inform him." Once he gets the news, he will come to the rescue. Xiahou Yuan is the first general under Cao Ying, this person is rare in the world for his fast marching speed, and his combat bravery is the first in the world. Except for me and justice, the generals of Yizhou are afraid that no one can resist him! You are young after all, and you still can't stop him! ”

"The general can't help but worry a lot, although Xiahou Yuan is brave, but after all, I am just a guard, and I am not alone with him, how can I be afraid of him? A certain has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and it is no problem to guard a small street kiosk! Ma Jian patted his chest and packed the ticket. Zhao Feng looked at Ma Jian who was full of confidence in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a while.

In history, Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan six times, and it is recognized that the closest to victory is the first time. At that time, after Zhuge Liang sent Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi to attract the Wei army to defend in the Slope Valley, he led his troops out of Qishan, and the three counties of Tianshui surrendered to the wind. Just when the situation was very good, because Ma Tan lost the street pavilion, he was forced to return to the army. On the contrary, it was the Wei army that figured out Zhuge Liang's marching strategy through this battle, so the later Northern Expeditions were waiting for the rabbit and dragging Zhuge Liang to death.

Now that Ma Jian is full of confidence, he has taken the initiative to ask Ying to go to the street guard pavilion again, can he trust him? Although Ma Jian has made great progress after the exercise in Yinpingguan, Zhao Feng can't guarantee that he won't make that kind of mistake again, in the end, he can't afford this responsibility. But if he refuses like this, maybe he will leave some psychological shadow on Ma Yan, which also makes Zhao Feng quite a headache.

After thinking about it, Zhao Feng finally spoke: "Youchang, since you want to guard the street pavilion, it's okay, just go with me!" ”

"General, let's all go to Shoujie Pavilion, what should we do in Jicheng?" Ma Jian suddenly remembered this question and hurriedly asked.

"I will send Ling Ming to take Jicheng, and you and Zijun can guard the street pavilion with me!" Zhao Feng said lightly. Ma Tan looked at Zhao Feng, who had a calm face in front of him, hesitated for a moment and sighed: "The attack on Jicheng is related to the success or failure of this time, Pang Lingming is the general of the Ma family, did the general send the general under the command of the lord?" ”

"Don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people. The generals of the Sichuan army are not only me, but Zhengyi and Zilong, I am afraid that no one can match the order! "Zhao Feng is not false. Ma Jian looked at Zhao Feng, but finally sighed and said, "The general may not know something, but I talked to Senior Brother Kong Ming about the general's personality. Both of us admired the general, but there was still a word of persuasion. If the general doesn't blame Ma Tan for trespassing, I will be blunt! ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Zhao Feng motioned to Ma Jian Although he said that joking about Zhuge Liang's evaluation of himself, Zhao Feng was still very interested in knowing.

"A gentleman is certainly open, but the heart of defense is indispensable!" Ma Tan is meaningful and authentic. Zhao Feng looked at Ma Jian and knew that this was definitely not what he said, it was Zhuge Liang who said it. The so-called heart of defense is indispensable, and it is worth playing with who to prevent in the end.

The next evening, the army marched to the Wei army camp in Qishan. It is said that it is a large battalion, but in fact the defenders are only more than 3,000 people. At this time, Tanma had already found out the news, Xiahou Yuan led 50,000 horses to confront Zhang Ren and Lu Xun in Weishui, the Qishan camp only had thousands of defenders, and even the 10,000 defenders of Jicheng, half of Tai were all county soldiers, and their combat power was limited. Xiahou Yuan only thought that the Sichuan army was bluffing this time, but he didn't expect Zhao Fengfeng to make a fuss in Longxi.

"Kill!" Just when the defenders of the Qishan camp were cooking gas and were about to cook dinner, a shout of killing suddenly came, and then a strange army wearing leather armor, with oil paint on its face and its hair unkempt like a savage, suddenly came out from behind the Qishan camp, and the defenders were caught off guard, and dozens of people were already on the ground in an instant.

"Don't panic, fight, fight!" Under the command of the captain who guarded the village, the defenders finally resisted. But this forward-moving flying army was the elite trump card in Zhao Feng's hands, and under the leadership of Wang Ping and Zhu Ran, it was inserted into the back mountain to climb the rock and suddenly attacked the Qishan camp. The hasty resistance of the defenders was in front of them, and it was simply symbolic. What's more, with this non-mainstream dress, the timid defenders only thought that they were ghosts, and they almost didn't get scared on the spot, how could they still organize an effective counterattack.

However, with a cup of tea, hundreds of defenders had been killed, and the rest saw that the wrong way was wrong, and they disarmed and surrendered. By the time Zhao Feng, Ma Chao and the others came to the front of the village from the big road, the gate of the village had been opened, and Wang Ping was cleaning the battlefield.

"The Flying Army of the Warriors really succeeded, killing more than 600 enemies, and their own casualties were less than 100." These are the words that the battle-hardened Zhao Yun can also believe. Of course, he would have been even more surprised to see how this army had engaged the enemy.

Spears, knives, darts, javelins, all kinds of weapons, all kinds of killing methods, this army is simply a precise killing machine. These Nanbans with strong surnames are as inappropriate as killing chickens. However, Zhu Ran once led the Wudang Flying Army, and even led the Shanyue Army, fully aware of the combat effectiveness of ethnic minorities, and has become accustomed to this.

"Meng Qi, rest in this big village tonight, and I will divide the troops, and you can send the troops to the west. If there is any change, please feel free to report it! Before going to sleep, Zhao Feng told Ma Chao.

"Thank you Botao!" Ma Chao said angrily, and finally sighed and said: "It's a pity that I only have one sister, otherwise if you help me this time, I will definitely marry another sister to you!" ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Zhao Feng was also helpless against Ma Chao, who was extremely nervous, so he could only smile bitterly. According to Ma Chao's own estimates, returning to Xiliang and contacting the Baqiang Department that was at odds with Han Sui, as well as some of his own Ma Teng's old departments, and then defeating Han Sui, it would be done in a month at most. When it was done, he led people to the street pavilion to help him defeat Xiahou Yuan. In other words, I have to stick to the street pavilion for a month. If you cut the time when Xiahou Yuan came after learning the news, he must ensure that the street pavilion will not be lost within at least twenty days.

In the early morning of the next day, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun, as well as Ma Dai and Fa Zheng, led the army to Xiliang, and Zhao Feng led the army across Wudu County and killed directly to Tianshui County. With the help of Ma Chao's prestige, the Sichuan army easily passed through some tribes of the Di people, and along the way, Pang De also collected more than 5,000 Di people to help in the war. And when the army stepped into the border of Tianshui County, Shi Weikang, the assassin of Liangzhou, who was in Jicheng, finally got the news.

"What, the Sichuan army came from Qishan Avenue through Wudu County, why is there no news from the Qishan camp?" Tianshui Taishou Yang Fu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, Gong Cao Jiang on the side was a little calmer than him, just sighed and said: "I think that the Qishan camp has been lost, but what should I do now, please make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

"How many people are there in the Sichuan army?" Wellcome calmed down a little and asked the detail in front of him.

"Extremely large number, at least 50,000!" He replied carefully. As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall gasped. "There are so many people and horses that we can't match. I intend to hold the city first, and at the same time send someone to report to General Xiahou, so that he can lead the army to relieve the siege as soon as possible! Wellcome said slowly.

"That's great!" Yang Fu and Jiang Xu both agreed with Wei Kang's proposal. With only this amount of troops on hand, no one will be arrogant enough to go to a decisive battle with tens of thousands of Sichuan troops. At that moment, Wei Kang issued several urgent documents in a row, and he led the army to stick to Jicheng.

What Wei Kang didn't know was that at this time, Xiahou Yuan was sulking in Wugong City. There is no other reason, but because the Sichuan army on the other side of the river is arrogant, scolding again and again, and asking him to fight by name.
