Ma Chao was extremely excited, and in the midst of the wild laughter, there was endless murderous energy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fang Shao picked up the secret order he left on the case, and after reading it, the corners of his mouth also rose slightly, and he muttered: "I've waited for so long, and finally waited for this day, it's not easy, it's not easy." ”

Fa Zheng also had a smile on his face, as if he had guessed what the secret order was, but the rest of the generals were not as bright as him, and they all stepped forward to ask curiously.

Fang Shao then said in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the king of Hanzhong has an order, ordering us to return to Hanzhong as soon as possible, and within ten days, we should go north out of Qishan and enter Longxi." ”

Such a confidential plan was only known to several senior generals such as Ma Chao in advance, and as for Pang De and other generals, they did not know the true purpose of King Hanzhong until this time, and they were first surprised, and then excited.

Of course, they know what this order means, which means that the prelude to the struggle for the world is about to begin, that the opportunity for meritorious service is coming, and that glory and wealth are coming. As for Guanlong generals like Pang De, they were naturally even more excited, because they finally waited for the opportunity to return to their hometown.

At this time, even Fa Zheng could not suppress the excitement in his heart, he rose up, raised his glass and shouted: "Everyone, the time has come for us to make contributions and go down in history, come, I will drink this cup of wine, do not take Guan Long, and vow not to give up!" ”

"If you don't take Guan Long, you won't give up! If you don't take Guan Long, you will not give up! ”

All the generals drank and shouted, and for a while, the morale was extremely high.

That night, Ma Chao ordered the whole army to take advantage of the cover of night, set off back to Nanzheng in the starry night, and did not stop when passing through Nanzheng and other important places in Hanzhong along the way, and arrived at Yangping Pass in less than three days by taking advantage of the convenience of Hanshui.

After passing the Yangping Pass, with the fame of Ma Chao, he easily passed through Wudu County controlled by the Di people, and also collected about 5,000 Di soldiers along the way to help in the battle, and nearly 40,000 troops marched towards Qishan at night.

Naqi Mountain is located in the north side of the West Han River, starting from the north in the west, reaching Lucheng in the east, stretching for more than 100 miles, even the mountains show up, Luo Feng is conscientious, known as the name of "Kyushu", the strange and steep of the world, it is the throat of Shu Long, the key point of the attack and defense of the potential control.

At this time, no one would have expected that Liu Bei's real attack direction was Longyou, and Xiahou Yuan's main force was all in Chencang, Qishan camp, and there were less than 3,000 troops guarding it. Ma Chao led an army of 40,000 to kill suddenly, and in an instant, he broke through the enemy camp in Qishan and annihilated 3,000 Cao troops.

After successfully capturing Qishan, after a short discussion, Chen Shi was left to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Qishan, waiting for the follow-up Liu Bei's army to follow, while Ma Chao, Huang Zhong and others went north out of Qishan and went to Tianshui County to kill.

The Longshan Mountains divide Guanzhong and Longyou counties into two, among them, there are only two roads leading to Longyou from Guanzhong, one is to go west along Weishui, enter Longyou through the Longshan River Valley, and the other is to look north through the street pavilion to enter Longyou.

And these two key passes, just in Tianshui County, control Tianshui, it is equivalent to cutting off the connection between Guanzhong and Longyou, Longyou counties can easily go down, and after controlling the Longyou counties, it is equivalent to cutting off the connection between Liangzhou and Guanzhong, with Ma Chao's prestige in Liangzhou, it is natural to raise his arms and shout, you can respond in groups.

Therefore, the key after the troops leave Qishan is to quickly seize Tianshui County. Therefore, after capturing Qishan, Ma Chao divided his troops into two routes, one route was Huang Zhong and Chen Shi, and led 10,000 soldiers and horses to rush to Linwei County on the bank of the Weishui River to cut off the passage of the Weishui Longshan River Valley. And Ma Chao and Fang Shao and others personally led the main force to Jicheng, the seat of Tianshui County. And only by capturing Jicheng can we quickly suppress the counties of Tianshui, and open an unimpeded avenue for quickly entering the Jieting and seizing the second passage to Guanzhong.

Early in the morning, Jicheng, Taishou Mansion.

Early in the morning, Taishou Yang Fu was woken up by Jiang Xu, claiming that thousands of people had rushed to the south of the city, claiming that the Hanzhong army had entered Tianshui County and asked to take refuge in the city.

Yang Fu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly dressed up and went to the city to watch, and saw that there was already a mess outside the south city gate, and thousands of embarrassed people were kneeling outside the moat, asking Lord Taishou to put down the drawbridge and let them take refuge in the city.

Yang Fu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "How can this be, didn't Liu Bei personally lead the army and was preparing to attack Nanyang, how could he suddenly appear in Tianshui." Is there any news from the Qishan camp? ”

Jiang Xu also looked puzzled, "Qishan said yesterday that it was true that it did not send someone to report the safety as usual, and I had already sent someone to check it earlier." As for the sudden arrival of the enemy, it may just be a feint of the enemy. ”

The suspicion on Yang Fu's face was even heavier, "Even if it is a feint enemy, but it can actually enter my Tianshui County, it must have broken through the Qishan camp, although the Qishan camp has few soldiers, but the camp is dangerous, if the enemy is not attacked by a large army, how can it be broken in a moment." And Zhang Fei's department is still in a stalemate with General Xiahou in Chencang, and the main forces of Hanzhong have also been transferred to Nanyang by Liu Bei, where did the enemy come up with such a force of troops and horses to break through Qishan and enter the territory of my Tianshui? ”

In the face of Yang Fu's questioning, Jiang Xu couldn't answer, so he had to say: "The incident happened suddenly, and what the enemy situation is, we have to further reconnoiter to know." But now these people outside the city, do they let them into the city or not? ”

Yang Fu looked at the city for a long time, and said: "Before the situation is clear, we must be cautious." You should first send people out of the city to examine these people carefully, and only those with local accents should be put into the city, otherwise they will all be expelled, and the enemy's fine work must not be allowed to easily blend into the city. ”

Jiang Xu received the order, and then took a thousand heavily armed soldiers out of the city, carefully checked each of them, and only after making sure that they had local accents and were not carrying weapons on them, did he let them into the city.

Soon after, more and more people fled from the south, and it was only then that Yang Fu began to realize the seriousness of the situation.

The spies sent out soon brought back a shocking news, saying that the defenders of Qishan had been completely annihilated by the enemy, and then bad news came, saying that 10,000 enemy troops had rushed to Linwei County, and more than 1,000 defenders were invincible, and had surrendered in the early morning.

One after another, the bad battle reports flew into Yang Fu's hands like snowflakes, and the most powerful blow came in the afternoon of this day.

On this day, at noon, Yang Fu heard a report from the city, saying that there was a lot of smoke and dust in the south, and it seemed that thousands of people were rushing here. Yang Fu went to the city to watch, saw the dust rolling, covering the sky, and vaguely saw that in the dust and mist, there seemed to be a flag fluttering.

Yang Fu was keenly aware that the person who came was not the previous outcast, so he urgently ordered the four gates to be closed, and ordered nearly 4,000 county soldiers in the city to immediately enter the city to prepare for battle.

Sure enough, not long after, a mighty group of men and horses came out of the dust, and when viewed from a distance, the swords and axes were numerous, the clothes and armor were distinct, and the morale of the army was extremely strong.

The enemy was gradually approaching, and the fluttering flag clearly came into view, and Yang Fu's eyes gradually swelled up with a look of anger and horror.

Because, on the banner of the enemy, there is a "horse" word in the high book.

Yang Fu knew that it was Ma Chao who came, and this Xiliang butcher who killed his family, men, women and children was finally here.

The young son's head was cut off alive, and his wife and daughter were wiped out in public and then brutally killed...... The memories that were so cruel and heartbreaking that broke his heart couldn't help but come to mind. And now, that enemy is right in front of him.

"Ma Chao dog thief, Lao Tzu took your head to avenge my family!"

Yang Fu was emotional, so he rushed down the city with a big knife in his hand, wanting to order all the soldiers and horses to go out of the city and fight to the death with Ma Chao. As soon as he got out of the city, Jiang Xu heard the news, and hurriedly grabbed his reins, and persuaded hard: "Yishan, Ma Chao is menacing, and there are no less than tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, you must not act rashly." ”

Yang Fu roared angrily: "My father and brother were all harmed by this thief, and the enemy is right in front of you, Bo Yi, let go of your hand and let me sword this thief to snow our great revenge." ”

Jiang Xu didn't dare to let go, he grabbed the reins and didn't let go, "I hate this hatred, how can I not want to revenge." It's just that Ma Chao suddenly led a large army to break through Qishan and enter Tianshui, there must be no fear, with thousands of county soldiers in my district, how can I compete with it, if there is a bad pool, Jicheng is lost, then Tianshui County will be gained, and when the time comes, all the African countries west of Longshan, we have not only become the sinners of the country, but also trapped hundreds of people in Longyou in the water and fire. ”

Yang Fu is not that reckless person, otherwise he would not have played Ma Chao in the palm of his hand, but now he is just an enemy who sees each other, and he is blinded by anger for a while.

After a long time, he sighed, jumped off the horse, and turned over into the city again, and Jiang Xu also breathed a sigh of relief, and followed him to watch the enemy.

Ma Chao's soldiers and horses were not in a hurry to attack the city, but set up a camp around the city first, and it seemed that they had long planned to besiege the city for a long time. On the road to the south, the dust and smoke are still billowing, and there is a steady stream of soldiers and horses, and it is roughly estimated that there must be at least fifty or sixty thousand people.

Looking at this situation, Jiang Xu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "There are many thieves, and this traitor surnamed Ma is not like last time, blindly and forcibly attacking the city, it seems that his style is much calmer than before, and the situation we are facing is only afraid that it will be more dangerous than before." ”

Yang Fu's expression was extremely cold at the moment, and he said disdainfully: "This traitor is just a defeated general under our men, so why worry about it." Take advantage of the enemy's siege of the city, hurry up and send someone to Chencang to ask General Xiahou for help, we just need to hold on to this city, and wait for General Xiahou's reinforcements to arrive, and the inside and outside should be combined, this time we must take Ma Chao's head to take revenge. ”

When Yang Fu and the others in the city looked at the city with hatred, Ma Chao in the camp under the city also looked at the city with hatred, gritted his teeth and said: "Filial piety, Zhongzheng, why don't you tell me to attack the city now, I am still waiting to kill Yang Fu to avenge my brothers and nephews." ”

Fang Shao and Fa Zheng looked at each other and smiled, he looked at the city from afar, and said with a faint smile: "'Go to the army to attack the city, and attack the city', we have a plan to break the city, why bother to attack it, and damage the soldiers in vain, General Meng Qi don't have to be anxious, your revenge will be avenged soon." ”
