When Guo Huai, the Taishou of Hanzhong, heard that Lu Xun was leading the army to attack, he led the army to arrive, and at the same time hurriedly ordered someone to report to Sima Yi in Chang'an. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info and Longxi Taishou Yin Xian and Gong Cao Liang Xu heard that Ma Chao was coming, and under the persuasion of their old friend Jiuquan Taishou Jiang Yan, they all opened the city and surrendered. Ma surpassed Longxi, besieged Jicheng, and at the same time sent Ma Dai to lead the army to contact the Di people of Wudu and Yinping, so that they would not go to the black with Sima Yi. Ma Chao is famous in Xiliangwei, and these people are all afraid of him. Under Ma Chao's coercion and temptation, these people did not dare to be arrogant with Ma Chao. Under the double blow of Ma Chao and Lu Xun, Hanzhong was attacked on several sides, and the situation was suddenly precarious. When Sima Yi heard the news, he hurriedly personally led his troops to Hanzhong to block Lu Xun, and asked Meng Jian to guard Jicheng to block Ma Chao.

"Lord, Lu Xun led 100,000 troops to attack Hanzhong from the Golden Bull Road, what can I do?" In Nanzheng City, after Guo Huai saw Sima Yi's arrival, he was also a little calm. In his opinion, in a difficult situation, as long as Sima Yi personally stepped out, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort.

"Don't panic, I think this Lu Xun must be bluffing; No, it should be said that it was not Lu Xun who bluffed, but Zhao Botao! Sima Yi sneered.

"Lord, what do you say?" Guo Huai asked a little strangely.

"Lu Xun marched into Hanzhong from the Golden Bull Road, although he could avoid the natural danger of Yangping Pass, but the road of the Golden Bull Road was rugged and it was inconvenient to transport grain, as long as we waited to hold the crossing, at most forty days, at least a month, Lu Xun would inevitably lead the army to withdraw because of the lack of food. We just need to stick to the pass, and he is helpless! Sima Yi smiled, paused, and Sima Yi said: "Although Lu Xun is good at using soldiers, but Zhao Botao is from the army, has been on the battlefield for a long time, and once there is a war, he has always taken the lead, how could he send Lu Xun to lead an army of 100,000 to take Hanzhong?" That's pretty much all he has. And not only Zhao Feng, but also Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, the generals in Sichuan, did not come this time. In my opinion, this man must be leading the generals to ambush in the shadows, ready to act at the opportune moment! ”

"The lord is right, so what should we do now?" Thinking about this, Guo Huai asked about the current matter again. Sima Yi pondered for a while, and finally said cautiously: "Jicheng is garrisoned by Meng Gongwei, and Ma Chao is brave and unscrupulous. At present, Lu Xun's attack is violent, and I led an army of 50,000 to Jinniu Road to set up defenses. Berji, you lead an army of 20,000 to garrison the city to prevent the enemy army from attacking. ”

"The last general understands!" Guo Huai nodded and went to prepare for nothing. Since two years ago, Shangyong Taishou Zhang Xiu began to recruit troops and train soldiers, and the two sides have been in constant friction in the past two years. Guo Huai knew that if everyone was concentrated here in Jinniu Road at this time, once Zhang Xiu led the army to attack and defend the army with the city, he might not be able to stop it. At that moment, Guo Huai led the army to Chenggu to set up defenses, and Sima Yi personally sat in the town to prevent people from all walks of life, and at the same time sent a detailed work to find out the whereabouts of Zhao Feng and other important generals in Xichuan.

What Sima Yiwan didn't expect was that on the Golden Bull Road opposite him, in the camp of the Sichuan army, there were just 40,000 horses and horses bluffing. With Lu Xun's ability, this bluff is also decently bluffed. Of course, Sima Yi is so shrewd, it is indeed a little difficult to hide from his pervasive meticulous work. But it is impossible to get definite information without five or six days. Sima Yisheng's surname is cautious, and without definite information, he will not act rashly. With these few days, it is enough for Zhao Feng to hide from the sky and the sea.

On the day of Lu Xun's departure, Zhao Feng, Zhang Ren, and Yan Yan gathered 50,000 Sichuan troops, quietly rushed to Deyang on the edge of the Dianjiang River, and then took a building boat to enter the Yangtze River waterway from the Dianjiang River, and then all went down the river, through the itinerary of three days, until Ziguicheng. Along the way, the building ship was silent, and the soldiers were all stuffed in the cabin and did not show up. At the same time, under the arrangement of Huang Quan and others, all parts of Xichuan also carried out the purge of Hanzhong Meticulous Works, and tried to delay the time for Sima Yi to get the exact news.

After Zhao Feng arrived in Yidu, Wang Fu had already led the five thousand men and horses in Yidu to wait for a long time. After the two sides met, they went north to Xincheng through Jingshan Road, and continued to meet Zhang Xiu there, and then they went out of Shangyong to enter Hanzhong.

"Meet the General!" In the new city, Zhang Xiu saluted Zhao Feng. "Uncle heir, why be polite, I'll act according to the plan as soon as possible!" Zhao Feng said with a smile. looked at Zhang Xiu in front of him, I haven't seen him for five or six years, this kid has grown a lot, in terms of ability, compared to when he was a county magistrate in Baqiu, it is indeed much stronger.

"So that the general knows, make a report, Guo Huaiqian said that he led an army of 20,000 to advance into the city to prevent our army!" Zhang Xiu hurriedly informed Zhao Feng of the latest military situation.

"I see, it seems that Sima Yi is really cautious, and he is indeed guarding against us. In that case, Old General Yan, Yuanxiong, let you lead the army first. Righteousness, thou hast led the army to the queen. Zijun, Boqi, you lead the army and I to sit in the middle army, and we will act according to the plan. Zhao Feng thought about it and said, this kind of matter should be sooner rather than later, it is better to prepare as soon as possible before Sima Yi reacts.

After resting for a while, the army began to follow the predetermined plan, and the troops went out to Shangyong and went to Chenggu along the trails on both sides of the Han River. Such a big movement, and it is close at hand, naturally it is impossible to hide the fine work of Sima Yi's subordinates, unlike in Xichuan, this time Zhang Xiusuo did not send someone to clean up the fine work. Therefore, the news that the 80,000 army had left the new city soon reached the ears of Guo Huai in the city after careful work.

"Okay, you Zhao Botao, you actually played the trick of attacking the west. Pretending to attack the Golden Bull Road, in fact, it is necessary to mobilize a large army and attack Chenggu through the three eastern counties! Guo Huai read the latest military report sent by Xizuo, and he also suddenly realized, but then it was difficult to understand where the 80,000 army came from. If you think about it carefully, eighty percent of the troops were transferred from Jingzhou.

These problems are not considered by Guo Huai, and now his task is very clear, that is, to stick to the city. At the same time, he also sent someone to inform Sima Yi, who was in Jinniu Road, as soon as possible. At this time, Zhao Feng's 80,000-strong army was lined up, stretching the formation and advancing westward along the banks of the Han River.

Although they had discovered Zhao Feng's traces, there were some things that they couldn't find out. At this time, Zhao Feng's 80,000 horses were advancing along the Han River in accordance with the pattern of the copper-headed iron-tailed tofu waist. From the new city to the west, there are new towns, Shangyong, Meridian Valley, Luofu Valley, and Chenggu. If someone overlooks this army at this time, they will definitely feel a little strange, because Yan Yan and Wu Ban of the front army have already arrived at the mouth of Luofu Valley, while Zhao Feng, Zhang Wei and Wang Ping of the Chinese army have just arrived at the Meridian Valley crossing, and Zhang Ren of the rear army has just left the Han River. From the front to the rear of the entire army, a long dragon of hundreds of miles was pulled.

Of course, the mountain roads are rugged, and it is normal to march like this, and it will not be meticulous to find out where the front and rear armies are now. The army that can be heard clearly is almost 80,000, which is already quite a good level.

"What, 80,000 troops marching into the three eastern counties?" When Guo Huai sent someone to hurry up and inform Sima Yi of the news, he was also shocked by the news. He has more than 100,000 horses on hand, and now the confrontation between Jinniudao and Lu Xun has involved 50,000, Meng Jian led an army of 30,000 to deal with Ma Chao, and 20,000 under the leadership of Guo Huai, stationed in Chenggu to block Zhao Feng, plus now that the Di people are already a little unstable, Sima Yi has to send Han De to lead the headquarters to deter Wudu and Yinping. The rest of the garrison, except for the defenders everywhere, can only mobilize twenty or thirty thousand horses, now unless it is himself or Meng Jian, who can defeat Lu Xun or Ma Chao and get out, otherwise, can only rely on Guo Huai to die in Chenggu.

"Tell Berji to stick to the pass and not to fight. When Lu Xun runs out of food and the army retreats, I will help him retreat Zhao Botao! Sima Yi thought about it again and again, and in the end, due to his lack of strength, he could only make such a decision. At this moment, he also ignored a little, in Guanzhong, he only had 70,000 or 80,000 horses left, of which 30,000 were involved by Ma Chao on the front line of Longxi, and 20,000 people were stationed in Sanguan to support Hanzhong and Longxi, from Chang'an to Tongguan, the defense force was extremely weak.

But the reason why Sima Yi dared to do this was because he also knew that Cao Ying didn't have the strength to attack now. In addition, Tongguan and Qingni Pass are all steep places, and Hedong County, which is connected to Pubanjin, is also their own territory, so as long as they stay up for about 20 days, and wait for Lu Xun to retreat from the army, they can calmly arrange to repel Zhao Feng's army to Chenggu. It was in these more than 20 days that Sima Yi never expected that his political career would be completely destroyed.

The current situation is that Zhao Feng, Lu Xun and Ma Chao are sandwiching Sima Yi. When Sima Yi was designing to flank others, it was called a head. But now it's his turn to take care of this matter himself, and he's a little in a hurry. The irony of life is sometimes really sharp!

At this moment, Zhao Feng's five thousand unadvanced flying troops and five thousand Danyang elite soldiers had already arrived at the Meridian Valley crossing. The fine work has already been discovered, and there is also a small village at the Meridian Valley crossing, but the defenders are less than a thousand. In the two places of Qingni Pass and Tongguan, the defenders are only a few thousand. It seems that as long as he walks through the Meridian Valley Road, he should be able to drive straight into the Guanzhong.

"Young Chang, you followed General Yan into Chenggu, and along the way you participated in military affairs for the old general, and gave advice, do you know!" Before dividing the troops, Zhao Feng told Ma Yan. The latter hesitated for a long time, and finally took the initiative to ask: "General, I'll go with you to the Meridian Valley Road, last time I walked through Yinping Pass, I was also with the general!" ”

"It's okay, everyone in Guanzhong is brave and unscrupulous, and this time it is enough to have Zijun, Boqi and Yifeng go with me. You have to be careful, Guo Huai is resourceful and good at using soldiers, and you need to be cautious! Zhao Feng finally admonished. Ma Tan knew that he had made up his mind, and it was difficult to persuade him again, so he didn't say anything at the moment, he could only hope that Zhao Feng would lead the army to go all the way safely.

"Let's go!" Looking up at the gap between the two mountains on the top of the valley, there was only a blue line left in the sky, Zhao Feng didn't say anything, but just ordered the 10,000-strong army to enter the Meridian Valley Road. In the rear of this army, there are nearly a thousand Xiliang horses. All the horses carried heavy bags of dry food, enough for 10,000 horses for half a month.
