In Jian'an, Ma Chao attacked Longshang County, and Zhang Lu also sent the general Yang Ang to help Ma Chao, gathering more than 10,000 people to besiege Liangzhou to assassinate Shi Weikang in Jicheng. Wei Kang resisted in Jicheng for eight months, but he was determined to make peace with Ma Chao, refused to listen to Yang Fu's advice, and was killed by Ma Chao after the surrender of Kaicheng.

But Ma Chao, who occupied Jicheng, did not sit still for long, Yang Fu went to Licheng to conspire with Jiang Xu on leave to bury his wife, and contacted and formed an alliance with fellow villagers Jiang Yin, Zhao Ang, Yin Feng, Yao Qiong, Kong Xin, Wudu Li Jun, Wang Ling, etc., to jointly crusade against Ma Chao. He also sent Cong Mo to Jicheng to tell Yang Yue the inside story, and contacted Liang Kuan in stability, Zhao Qu and Pang Gong in Nan'an. After the oath, in September of the seventeenth year of Jian'an, Yang Fu and Jiang Xu raised troops in Lucheng. After hearing the news, Ma Chao personally led his troops to attack. Zhao Qu, Pang Gong and others rescued Yang Yue, closed the gate of Jicheng, and captured Ma Chao's wife and children. Ma Chao attacked Licheng and captured Jiang Xu's mother. Yang Fu led his troops to fight against Ma Chao, and was wounded in five places, and seven clan brothers died. In the end, Ma Chao was defeated and fled south and defected to Zhang Lu.

It can be said that Tianshui County is a place where Ma Chao drinks and hates, and this time he led his troops to come, but it was no longer a thing. Ma Chao's personality has changed greatly as he gets older and has lived under people for a long time, far from being comparable to the irascible horse before, and now he is more like a famous general. And Tianshui County was not the Tianshui County at that time, Yang Fu was named Wudu Taishou after defeating Ma Chao, and he has been dealing with Zhao Yun in Wudu County, and he is very prestigious in the border county, but after Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, Yang Fu was transferred to Luoyang to serve. It is also because of this that Ma Chao was able to enter the martial capital and exit Qishan so easily, and now there is no Yang Fu in Shuijun, Zhao Ang and Jiang Xu have also passed away, the Jicheng in front of him is really not difficult for Ma Chao, if it weren't for Xu Shu's repeated instructions to Ma Chao to establish a better image in Liangzhou from the beginning, Ma Chao would be able to beat Jicheng to pieces!!

But the result was beyond Ma Chao's expectations. Due to the unpreparedness of Wei in advance, the three counties of Nan'an, Tianshui and Anding in Longyou were unable to resist, and Tianshui and Nan'an Taishou even abandoned the county town and fled eastward, and the Wei Tianshui guards Jiang Wei, Liang Xu, Yin Xian, Shangguan and others surrendered. Ma Chao's army was like a bamboo, and the real wartime was not big, but it was soft to be surrendered.

Fortunately, this time Ma Chao learned to be obedient, and at Xu Shu's strong request, Ma Chao personally went to the grave of the late Liangzhou Thorn Shi Weikang, and pretended to mourn the people who died in the Longyou Rebellion. Although it was a drama, it received good results, and the people of the five counties of Longyou (Longxi, Nan'an, Tianshui, Guangwei and Anding) no longer seemed to be so disgusted by Ma Chao's return.

However, not all the county guards are like Tianshui and Nan'an, and Longxi County Taishou You Chu resolutely resisted. Xu Miao, the assassin of Liangzhou in Wei, also sent troops to attack Nan'an County with Jincheng Taishou, and for a time Cao Wei's northwest defense line was in chaos.

When he learned of the Longyou Army report, Cao Wei's Luoyang court could be described as shaking the government and the opposition, the young Wei Emperor Cao Rui's face sank like water and he didn't say a word, and the ministers in the hall were also shocked. No way. Wu State only last year, the three-way army was exhausted, and in a battle with Wu State, Cao Wei lost Xincheng County and Donghai County, as well as half of Qian County and half of Xiapi State. The loss of soldiers and horses was as high as 60,000 or 70,000. Even the great Sima Cao Xiu was killed in battle, and General Zuo surrendered to Yu Ban.

It's only been how long it has been, and Shu Han has come out of Qishan to pick up bargains again, this is still the intelligence of Guo Huai, the assassin of Yongzhou, only mentions Ma Chao's 40,000 troops and Zhao Yun's suspicious soldiers, and does not mention Xu Shu's main force of Shu Han, otherwise the Great Wei court at this time is afraid of a riot.

Due to Cao Xiu's defeat of 50,000 elites of the Wei State. As a result, Wei Ting's troops are now overstretched, which is not to say that Wei has no soldiers, on the contrary, Wei has a lot of soldiers and horses, and there are still two or three hundred thousand. But can those soldiers and horses be mobilized? Wancheng Sima Yi's army of 40,000 wanted to guard against Lu Xun; Zang Ba's troops are fighting with Dai Gang! Judging from the battle report, it seems that even Picheng is about to be unable to hold it, let alone expect to draw troops from him, and the troops of Tian Yu, Zhao Zhao, Xie Jun and others in the north must guard against the Hu people in the north and cannot be easily used; The soldiers of the Gongsun family in the northeast cannot be used, and it is impossible to send all the Imperial Forest Army left in Luoyang!!

Therefore, the little emperor gritted his teeth, and with a wave of his hand, he sent the 30,000 troops of Sanfu and Sili to Zhang Jaw and ordered him to deal with Ma Chao, and at the same time asked Cao Zhen to garrison Meicheng to guard against Zhao Yun, Sima Yi took Wancheng's army to Wuguan to prepare to support Yongliang at any time, and he himself was ready to personally move Chang'an to supervise the battle.

However, Cao Rui's car did not go to Tongguan, Xu Shu's main force was killed from Sanguan, and the 50,000 army took down Chen Cang, which had only 1,000 soldiers and horses, and Chen Cang, who had no good generals, and at this time, Zhang Jaw, who supported Liangzhou, happened to go to Nan'an County to meet Guo Huai, and was just caught in the middle by Xu Shu and Ma Chao.

At this point in the war, it was the end of March and spring, and it was impossible for Shu Han to go on a northern expedition without informing Wu to seek support, but Chen Zhen, the envoy of Shu Han, arrived at Jianye almost at the time point, only one day earlier than the information sent back.

Jianye, Qiaofu partial hospital. Sun Song, Qiao Xun, George, Zhuge Ke, Zhou Xun, Huang Bing and several others gathered together, because all of them except Qiao Xun were sent to serve as the Taishou of a county or the general of a partial army and the deputy general, today's banquet can be said to be a small gathering before parting.

Halfway through the wine, Chen Biao's face suddenly changed, and he pretended to be mysterious and said to Qiao Xun and the others, "Do you know? Yesterday, the envoy of the Han Kingdom came to Jianye, and said in the court that their Han Kingdom had actually gone on a northern expedition, and the great Sima Xu Shu personally led an army of 100,000 troops to Guanlong, and Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and other famous generals in the world all went on the expedition!! ”

Everyone in the hall can be more or less regarded as people who practice martial arts, and naturally know what these three names represent, representing the pinnacle of the world's generals == Zhang Fei was the opponent of Lu Bu in Xuzhou, Ma Chao defeated Cao Ying's generals in a row, Xu Chu had a slight upper hand, and Zhao Yun Changbanpo rode the savior alone.

"Oh!? Xu Shu, the big Sima, is still competent, at least he knows how to pick up cheap, look at it, Wei is now at the end of the crossbow, and he can't hold Guan Long!! Qiao Xun didn't care about this, Xu Shu could only take Guan Long when he came out of the battle, and no matter how weak the Wei State was, the number of troops there far exceeded that of Wu Han. Even if Cao Rui is a fool, it is impossible not to catch Tongguan, Pujiao and other places, and then rescue Guanzhong, after all, Shu Han is logistically tight, it is not bad to be able to defeat Guanzhong, or Shu Han can only take Longyou.

"But that's not all!!" Chen Biao was like a dealer selling gossip, rubbing his hands and whispering to the few people who came over: "Actually, today's information has just arrived, Xu Shu has deceived the Wei State with the strategy of attacking the east and the west, and Ma Chaoqi has already taken the three counties, but I don't know where Xu Shu's army has gone?" ”

"Are you saying that Shu Han has already sent troops, and the battle has been fruitful!!" Sun Song didn't believe his ears very much, yesterday Shu Han's envoy who asked Wu to cooperate had just arrived, and today he received the news that Ma Chao had already returned to Longxi.

Qiao Xun shook his head and sighed: "Big brother Mo really thinks that we and Shu Han are allies!" Xu Shu is also wary of us, this is obviously to send troops first and then notify, if we fight well, our army will naturally not just watch the Han army eat meat, if it is not good to fight at this time, our army can share their pressure, why not!! ”

"I see!!" George lowered his head, clearly thinking about something.

And Qiao Xun then said: "Congratulations to all of you, especially the eldest brother and Brother Zhou, one of you is the Taishou of Lujiang and the other is a partial general under the command of Lu Dudu, once my Dawu sends troops, the battle of the two of you is indispensable!! ”

"I'm indispensable!! Huang Bing suddenly interjected, he received the Huang family's subordinates and got Huang Xu's gift of his own subordinates, and there were 3,000 subordinates at once, and he was appointed as the governor of Jiangxia, the captain of Dingwei, and he was going to take office together with Jiangxia Taishou Quan Cong.

"Oh!!" Qiao Xun stroked his palm and smiled: "I forgot about you!! In fact, what Qiao Xun forgot was Sun Song, who was about to serve as the general of the Che Cavalry Protector (the Che Cavalry General's escort) and obey Lu Xun's orders.

At this moment, a guard suddenly broke in and saluted Qiao Xun, George and Sun Song, who were drinking and fighting: "Two princes, the king has summoned!" ”

"Good !!" Qiao Xun knew that Qiao Ren must have come to him in order to discuss the Northern Expedition of Shu Han, after all, he had predicted the deeds of the Northern Expedition of Shu Han. "I don't know who else ?!"

"Oh!! Mr. Chiang, Lord Taichang, Dasi Nong, and General Overseer were all there. ”

Taichang is Pan Jun, he has been transferred from Jingzhou Thorn Shi to the position of Taichang, and Dasi Nong is Liu Ji who replaced Liu Zhang. (To be continued......)
