Chapter 54: The Battle of Di Dao

From the moment he laid down Ji County, Chen Lin knew that Li Dao and Guo Yan would come sooner or later, so he paid more attention to the information in this regard. At the same time, Chen Lin was not worried at all that Li Dao and Guo Yan were going to Dahanzhong, if that was the case, it would be something that Chen Lin couldn't wait for. Yangping Pass has been built on the scale of a county seat since the moment Chen Lin took charge of Hanzhong, and Yangping is unlike any other place. Chen Lin has put 8,000 soldiers and horses in Yangping, and now Yangping's guards are Chen Dao's father-in-law, Hanzhong, plus Zhang Ba, who is now ordered to go, there are at least 11,000 people in Yangping Pass. If Li Dao dared to fight Yangping and not save Xiliang, Yan Pu could quickly gather the county soldiers from each county in Yangping, at least 30,000 at that time.

In fact, Li Dao Guo Yan is not a fool, no, the 80,000 army is coming violently. If it were peace and morale, Li Dao and Guo Yan would definitely fight to the death, but now the two of them don't have the slightest such thoughts, and even the adjustment of troops is very generous. Chen Lin kept chattering: 80,000, 80,000, 30,000 cavalry-

It seems that there is indeed pressure this time, and now all the people in Ji County add up to 15,000 people, Chen Lin said that there is no pressure, which is false. Fa Zheng: "My lord, now that Han Wenyue has sent troops, General Jiang went to Longxi and the cooperation of the Song County Order has basically surrendered the soldiers and horses of Yuan Baohan, and now General Huang also has more than 10,000 troops, why don't you draw some of them to Ji County?" Chen Lin nodded: "Yes, you must, filial piety, do you want General Fang or General Huang and the two of them to come over, or do you want Baohan to surrender troops over?" "Chen Lin is also considerate, Song Jian is now the commander of Longxi County, if he lets thousands of soldiers who have surrendered to stay by Song Jianjian, Chen Lin is really not so relieved.

"Why don't you divide half of the lord, half and half, let General Huang and General Fang come back to one of them, and then order General Jiang to divide half of his troops back, so that there are still two generals and three thousand troops in Longxi, even if Song Jian is unwilling, what can he do?"

Chen Lin: "Okay, then order Dingguo to come back, order Boya to have an army on his own, leave 2,000 people, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will be brought over by Dingguo, and then order Boya to recruit troops on the spot in Longxi, and make up 3,000 numbers, so that Longxi also has 6,000 soldiers and horses, and another 6,000 can support Ji County, which is enough." Chen Lin couldn't have imagined that as soon as Jiang Xu went to Longxi, he would recruit 5,000 people in a few days, which really surprised Chen Lin. But now is an extraordinary period, otherwise Chen Lin really doesn't dare to use these troops with confidence, Song Jian is in Longxi, the Baohan army is divided into two parts, Song Jian is still against the sky?

Longxi, "General, lord, there is an order, order General Fang to immediately lead his troops back to Ji County, and at the same time let General Jiang bring back 3,000 soldiers and horses by General Fang, in addition, Mr. Yan is still in the Han army, the Lord Duke ordered General Huang to lead his troops to Di Dao, cooperate with the Han army to attack Di Dao, and return with Mr. Yan after victory, General Jiang can not leave Longxi. ”

Huang Zhong waved the order to retreat, only Fang Yue and Jiang Xu were present at this time, Huang Zhong: "The lord is so eager for General Fang to go back, and he will take it to Ji County together with the surrendered troops who have just surrendered, it seems that Li Zhiran's army is coming, Ji County has a maximum of 15,000 soldiers and horses, the lord is under great pressure, General Fang, without further ado, please act immediately." ”

Fang Yue promised, and at this time Huang Zhong said again: "General Jiang, the lord has indicated that he wants General Jiang to stay in Longxi, and General Jiang doesn't know what the lord means?" Jiang Xu: "Song County Order? Huang Zhong nodded and said: "It's good that General Jiang knows, don't spread the word, and a certain will also raise troops to go to Didao tomorrow, if it's fast, it's five days, and if it's slow, it's half a month, and the general can't be careless during the period." "In fact, at this time, Song Jian was really dead, 5,000 men and horses were recruited, and 3,000 were taken by Fang Yue to go to Ji County, even if Song Jian took Huang Zhong out and used the remaining 2,000 men and horses to take Longxi, what could he do, as soon as Huang Zhong returned to the army and Chen Lin sent troops in Ji County, Song Jian would definitely die. Besides, Jiang Xu has already received Chen Lin's order, and he will definitely recruit a thousand people immediately, and this thousand new recruits will definitely not listen to Song Jian. This is also the reason why Chen Lin can rest assured that Huang Zhong will go to Didao, Huang Zhong to put it bluntly is to do things and talk about his feelings. Anyway, the territory that was beaten down was also Han Sui's, so why do you have to work hard.

On the second day, Huang Zhong and Fang Yue went out of the city at the same time in the morning, and Fang Yue led 3,000 and 2,000 troops from his headquarters to the south and rushed to Ji County. As for Huang Zhong, as soon as the three thousand soldiers and horses came out of Longxi, this time they really went straight to Di Dao. Li Dao and Guo Yan should already know that Chen Lin's soldiers are out of Qishan, and within ten days, Li Dao and Guo Yan will definitely go to Tianshui, and Huang Zhongji hopes to take Di Dao as soon as possible, so that Han Sui sent troops south, which can be regarded as relieving pressure for Chen Lin.

The reason why Yan Wen stayed in Han Sui's army after forming an alliance was that he was afraid that Han Sui would deliberately drag it out, if Han Sui dragged on under Didao City for half a month or something, then it would be meaningless to form an alliance with Han Sui. It's not that Han Sui hasn't thought of this method of procrastination, he definitely has thought about it, but Han Sui is still unwilling to offend Chen Lin too obviously, who knows if Chen Lin has sent someone to contact Ma Teng, who knows what Ma Teng is thinking, if Chen Lin and Ma Teng form an alliance, then Han Sui will offend Chen Lin again, then Han Sui will have to face the crisis of the pincer, so Han Sui doesn't dare, at least he doesn't dare to do it so obviously.

Speaking of Di Dao, Di Dao's guard turned out to be Fan Chou's person, after Fan Chou's death, he had no choice but to surrender to Li Dao, but he was not reused, or too reused, in short, he was sent to Di Dao This kind of ghost place, there is not much oil and water, but if something happens, it must be this kind of place. The guard general is called Liang Guo, middle-aged, and he is also a fierce general, and there are not ten places on his body but also eight scars, which are all merits left by Liang Guo when he followed Dong Zhuo.

Now Liang Guo is really in a hurry, last time Huang Zhong put an oolong to attack Huhan, although Liang Guo scolded Huang Zhong for scaring people to death, but he was glad in his heart, but this time, Liang Guo found out that Han Sui sent troops, and Huang Zhong also sent troops at the same time, it is clear that the better, the goal is not to doubt, now in addition to Liang Guo's Di Dao is the most conspicuous, where is there such a conspicuous place in Xiliang. Liang Guo was so impatient that he walked around the mansion, and now Di Dao said that it was an army of 4,000 to the outside world, but in fact, it was a little more than 3,000, and Liang Guo had been eating empty salaries for more than a year. Save, no one will come to save him, Li Gang, who is closest to Liang Guo, died earlier than Liang Guo, Li Dao can reach Tianshui in at least five or six days, and it will take two days to reach Di Dao when he arrives in Tianshui, unless Li Dao is willing to send all the cavalry over, it will be much faster. However, is it possible, let alone five or six days, how can Liang Guo think about it now, how do he feel that he is afraid that as soon as the army arrives tomorrow, he will not be able to hold it for even a day, and the day after tomorrow will be over.

Descend, must descend immediately, Liang Guo shouted, it must fall. At this time, Liang Zhong, the son of Liang Guo, shouted: "Father, it's not now that you want to surrender, if the enemy army comes and surrenders, can my father think about why he has been snubbed by General Li these days, isn't it because we descended too quickly when General Fan died." Father, in my opinion, if we fight a battle with the enemy army and play a majestic style, then we will surrender when the time comes, whether it is to descend to Yizhou or to surrender to the Korean Treaty, we will definitely be taken seriously, Father think twice. ”

Liang Guo is overjoyed, in fact, Liang Guo himself doesn't care anymore, people in their forties and fifties, even if they go home to be a peaceful person in the future, they can be comfortable, but Liang Guo has to think about his son Liang Zhong. So what Liang Zhong said became the biggest good news for Liang Guo, and his son can also use it, which is a good thing better than anything else. So Liang Guo decisively ordered to prepare for war, and he must hold it for one day, not only for one day, but also to give the enemy a little bit of strength.

On the second day, first Han Sui's army set up camp in the north of the city, there were 2,000 tops, according to the tithes to calculate, Han Sui had 20,000 people, in the afternoon, Huang Zhong arrived, Huang Zhong just dismounted, there were Han Sui's soldiers over: "General Huang, the small is General Han's subordinates, General Han asked General Huang to go over to discuss matters." ”

Huang Zhong immediately rushed to the north of the city without stopping, and at this time Huang Zhong saw Yan Wen for the second time, the first time was when Yan Wen was passing by Longxi when he was going to Jincheng. Yan Wen pulled Huang Zhong: "General, the lord's side is okay, how is the situation?" "Huang Zhong did not look down on literati like other military generals, especially those who were loyal to their lords like Yan Wen. Huang Zhong smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir, yesterday the lord transferred 6,000 troops from Longxi to Ji County, and now there are at least 20,000 horses in Ji County, even if the enemy army comes to 100,000, with the courage of General Gao and others, the enemy will not want to break Ji County within a month." However, the pressure is still very high, which is also the reason why the lord agreed to send troops to help Han Wenyue take Di Dao, that is, he hopes that Han Wenyue can quickly go south to Qinchuan and relieve the pressure on our army. ”

When Yan Wen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that Huang Zhong also said that he was worried about Han Sui's delay. Yan Wen laughed in his heart, Yan Wen was not worried about this at all Now, because of Yan Wen's several conversations and understandings with Han Sui in the past few days, Yan Wen discovered a dead hole for Han Sui, that is, Ma Teng. Only Ma Teng was there, Yan Wen took Ma Teng to stimulate Han Sui from time to time, and kept Han Sui to death.

Yan Wen: "General Huang, I've been here for a long time, and I just walked around with Duan Commander, Di Dao is only afraid that it will be a tough battle, and the defenders will be desperate to defend it, and I haven't seen the city wall stop all day, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of preparations." ”

Huang Zhong smiled and said in his heart that I just came to see the play.

Han Sui didn't have anything to say about Huang Zhong, the famous general, just briefly talked about tomorrow's attack time, and hoped that everyone would work together or something.

Huang Zhong returned to the barracks and looked up at Di Dao City under the sunset, the golden light was shining, and the soft sunlight revealed a suffocating murderous aura and coldness. Huang Zhong whispered: "Tough battle." He turned around and said something that the guards couldn't hear: "It's my business." ”
