The weather and the weather are not yet cold enough to freeze the water. The river still flows eastward, but the weather outside is already unbearably cold.

Among the several large armies in western Qin, the Mobei ethnic group is the most cold-tolerant, and the elite of the Tiance army can also withstand bitter cold, plus cotton clothing and equipment are the most adequate, so in terms of cold resistance, these two types of armies have the strongest cold resistance. And the weakest is the Shu army, the troops attacking Lanzhou have long stopped, just make some routine threats, in the south of Qinzhou, there has already been a threat of the Shu army, the Shu army has built a ship here, set up a camp, and even transported some equipment, but the attack is very negative, just make a daily situation of crossing the river to attack, as soon as you see that the other side is prepared, take a conservative strategy, anyway, the commander is not urgent, the soldiers are happy to be lazy and stealing, after all, it is impossible to cross the river all day, without a little spirit of sacrifice.

Therefore, Zhang Mai's attention to the south is far less than that of the two roads of Ji and the north, especially the north road, every detail of the battle in the Huanma Heights can provoke his nerves~ and the victory or defeat of the Khitan is the key to the whole battle, but on weekdays, Zhang Mai always seems to be casual.

At this time, the person in charge of the wartime government affairs of the western states of Qinxi was Fan Zhen, Ma Jirong was in charge of the dispatch of military rations, and An Shoujing's younger brother An Shoushen was in charge of the coordination of the armies.

Zhang Mai's greatest daily energy is to appease the military and the people of the Qinxi Prefectures, the Qinxi Prefectures have been under the rule of the feudal towns for a long time, the soldiers have been infected for a long time but do not know the righteousness, and the people have no good impression of the officers, Li Congke was here, the lower-class soldiers and civilians also rarely saw him, they never imagined that the powerful Generalissimo Zhang would be condescending and often go to the people and soldiers to inspect.

This is still in the middle of the war, but if Zhang Mai hears that there are any grievances, he will also be stationed in the horse to deal with them, and he will settle the grievances of the people of Qinxi, and spread it to the people of western Qin: "It is said that Marshal Zhang of Lanzhou is an ancient Ming Jun who is not born in the world, and he only knows that it is true by heaven." Don't talk about the emperor before, even if it's the assassin history and the county order, where can we see them in our leisure? ”

Someone else said: "Marshal Zhang is not an emperor yet." ”

"Not now, but in the future. I only hope that the marshal can repel the Khitan and make us as peaceful and prosperous here as Liangzhou and Lanzhou, then we will have a good life. ”

Those former officers of Qinxi saw that Zhang Mai was close to the bottom, and they didn't dare to deduct military salaries in vain, so since Zhang Mai came to Qinxi, he was not like Li Congke, who gave rewards to buy soldiers without merit, but the soldiers at the bottom were quite loved, and some soldiers even escaped from the old camp and asked to join the Tiance regular army.

An Shou cautiously saw that the people's hearts and military hearts were available, and once persuaded Zhang Mai to rectify the military horses of Qinxi Prefectures, and said: "I have a saying in the Tang Dynasty: , Kanto has a good appearance, and Guanxi has a good general" Guan Long has been a good soldier since ancient times, but since the end of the Tang Dynasty, it has been corrupted by successive feudal towns and corrupt officials, but the fundamental blood is still there, and now there are **10,000 soldiers and horses surrendered in Qinxi, if they are reorganized, they can get another 30,000 elite soldiers with 30,000 elite soldiers in hand, which is of great help to our attack and defense. Zhang Mai just didn't allow it, and said: "The Qinxi Domain is complicated, and it is too risky to organize the troops in battle. Even if 30,000 elite soldiers can be selected by lottery, how easy is it for these people to integrate under the new establishment? The low-level soldiers may have returned to their hearts, but the middle and high-level generals will be even more suspicious because of this, once the reorganization begins, the generals of Qin Xi will be terrified, thinking that we are going to take away their military power! I'm afraid that before we can achieve integration, some people will raise the banner and rebel. This matter must not be mentioned again, and now it is the best policy to appease. ”

In the evening of this day, Zhang Mai was inspecting the eastern suburbs of Qinzhou, and was gossiping with an old farmer, who was worried that the war would disturb the winter wheat harvest, Zhang Mai sighed very much: "I have fought for so many years, and the more I fight, the more I feel that the soldier is a murder weapon, but in such a troubled era, seeking peace cannot calm the world, and can only stop the war with war, and it is possible to do it once and for all!" Old man, if you endure it again, this winter's hard days will pass, and you and your children and grandchildren will have peaceful days in the future."

The old farmer said with tears in his eyes when he heard this: "Those old men who collect grain taxes have always been just snoring and drinking, and the Son of Heaven in Luoyang is far away in the sky, at most there is an edict that we can't understand, and they never read and get close to us, where did they say such things to us?" ”

The surrounding people were moved to tears, and suddenly the sound of the trumpet from the south came faintly, and the old farmers were terrified, Zhang Mai smiled: "Don't be afraid, there is still a long way to listen to the sound." Most of the time it was the Shu army on the south bank who came to disturb again. Rest assured, they won't be able to cross the Wei River! ”

The sound of horses' hooves, a soldier rushed from the southwest, and said cautiously: "There seems to be a military situation in the south!" ”

It turns out that the battle reports of Guo Wei in the east and Xi Sheng in the north will be sent directly here, and this military intelligence comes from the west, presumably to Qinzhou City first, and then transfer here.

Seeing this, the old peasant got up to say goodbye, and the soldier who delivered the letter approached, took out the letter, and An Shoushen opened it and said, "The Shu army has attacked again." This attack was quite jī fierce.

However, our army's sentry posts along the river are well done, and they can be defended. ”

Zhang Mai said: "When and where to attack? An Shou said cautiously: "Shen Shi three moments." It is a section of the river twenty-five miles southeast of Qinzhou. ”

Zhang Mai is a person who was killed in the front-line battle, and he is not as good as Yang Yi, Guo Wei and others in terms of battlefield scheduling, but he is also extremely sensitive to military tricks and tricks, and he said after hearing it: "I think that Bashu was in the hands of Zhuge Liang, and he could use the land of a state to tilt the Central Plains, but when Meng Chang got to his hands, he became lazy, afraid of cold, and afraid of death. ”

Ma Xiaochun said on the side: "What if you really come?" ”

Zhang Maidao: I, come to the truth, that is the sound of the east and the west. The attack in the evening is to drag out our army, and the real attack may be to attack in the southeast of Qinzhou after nightfall, which is to attract our attention, so we must step up our defense in the southwest of Qinzhou tonight. ”

A young general next to him came to ask for orders and wanted to lead the cavalry to patrol the river. When Zhang Mai saw it, it was Ma Jirong's nephew Ma Xu, An Shou cautiously thought that the Tang army was well precautioned in Weishui, and now Weishui has not yet formed thick ice, and the horse can't come, and the Shu army has no strong navy, so he can't cross the river, so why not send a favor to Ma Jirong and say: "The Shu army has many soldiers and horses but is not fine, if General Ma goes, the Weihe River will be safe!" ”

Zhang Mai nodded, compared to the normal battle, this is just a trivial matter, and he doesn't need to arrange specific matters, An Shoushen allocated 4,000 soldiers and horses, including 1,000 soldiers and 3,000 soldiers and horses in western Qin, and asked Ma Xu to rush to patrol the river.

At this time, the sun was pressing, Ma Jirong persuaded Zhang Mai to return to the city, and when he arrived at the temporary marshal's mansion in the city, Murong Chunhua was also inside! When the two met, Zhang Mai asked, "What news is there over there in Luntai?" ”

How far away is Luntai from here? At this time, even if there was news, it was a month ago.

Murong Chunhua said: "There is no new news. The southern section of the Tianshan Mountains has an Shoujing town guard, and the small stones patrol the Tianshan North Road, our army has won many victories in the past two years, from Yizhou to broken leaves, Zhuhu is shocked by the prestige of our army, who dares to move? ”

Zhang Mai said: "That's good." ”

Murong Chunhua said: "How is the Huanma Heights and Fengxiang Mansion?" ”

Zhang Mai said: "Guo Wei doesn't need to worry about it, he can resist it as far as he can ...... Huanma Heights" Speaking of the four words of Huanma Heights, Zhang Mai couldn't help but tears in his eyes, and said: "Our children, I'm afraid that this time I will be seriously damaged!" Murong Chunhua comforted: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, if you can wrap the body in horse grass, it is the best destination for the Tang Dynasty boy!" Hate that I failed to hear so! ”

Zhang Mai has also practiced hard in his heart over the years, and nodded slightly.

Winter is cold, the army and civilians go to bed early, to the second watch, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves in the east of the city is chaotic in the quiet night, there is an urgent report An Shoushen was taken aback after receiving the war report, and came to discuss with Ma Jirong: "It's not good!" The Shu army actually broke through the river defense! Ma Jirong exclaimed: "How can this be! How many people came? ”

An Shou cautiously said: "The marshal expected to be right, they really crossed the river beach at night, thirty miles southwest of Qinzhou, the sentry post is sparse, fortunately, our army has already prepared, and when Ma Xu was about to rush to report the victory, suddenly there was an urgent report dozens of miles to the west, it turned out that the Shu army had crossed the river from the upper reaches again!" When Ma Xu arrived, they had already robbed the river beach! It turned out that these people actually crossed the river with rafts and air bags! At the beginning, there were only a few hundred people ashore, and they were all infantry, but these hundreds of people were extremely ruthless, and under the impact, they actually killed one of our captains, covering the latecomers to go ashore one after another, and now I am afraid that thousands of people have crossed the river, but there are not tens of thousands. ”

Ma Jirong heard that there were not tens of thousands, and it was an infantryman, so he was a little relieved in his heart, and said: "We must hurry up and send reinforcements again!" ”

An Shoujing sent his nephew, An Shoujing's son An Shen, to lead 2,000 soldiers and 6,000 soldiers and horses from western Qin.

Ma Jirong said: "Ma Xu made a mistake and broke the spirit of our army, this matter has to be given to Marshal Ming, you and I have to go to ask for the guilt." ”

An Shoushen said: "The marshal hasn't slept for the past few days for the things in the Rima Heights, and now I'm afraid that he has gone to bed, do you need to bother?" The Shu army is only a few thousand people, and it can't threaten Qinzhou. ”

Ma Jirong said: "Qinzhou is the foundation of the army, and nothing can happen!" Let's go and see, or the marshal is not sleeping. ”

The two came to Zhang Mai's house to ask for a meeting, and Ma Xiaochun saw him and said, "The marshal just fell asleep, what's the matter, what's the emergency military situation in the Huanma Heights?" ”

I heard Zhang Mai shouting in the house: "What is it? What happened to Huanma Heights? ”

An Shoushen and Ma Jirong glanced at each other, and entered the door together, Ma Jirong said: "It's not a matter of Huanma Heights, it's just that Ma Xu made a mistake, and I ask the marshal to surrender!" He knelt down and kowtowed.

Zhang Mai was stunned and said, "Ma Xu made a mistake? ”

An Shoushen said the battle situation, Zhang Mai's face changed slightly, and said: "This section of the Wei River is more than 100 miles long, it was originally difficult to prevent a drop of water, but the raft crossing the river will be wet hands and feet, and the airbag will cross the river, that is half of the body soaked in the water, what kind of weather is it now, soaking in the water to cross the river, ordinary people have already frozen half to death, they can still fight after they go ashore, and they can also impulse our cavalry with infantry?" Is there such an elite among the Shu army? Which unit is that? Who is the general? ”

None of his questions could be answered, and he said: "It was not the soldiers and cavalry of our government who were impulsed, but the soldiers and horses of Qinzhou.

The generals of the Shu army do not know who they are. The other side was victorious, and now that there are no horses or equipment, we don't have to worry too much. ”

Zhang Mai glanced at him and said, "This thing is a little strange!" Qinzhou is where my red satin blood spear is, if it is approached, Xi Sheng and Guo Wei will be shaken, if the enemy cavalry rushes to the city to fight, then our reality will be at the bottom! ”

An Shou said cautiously: "The subordinates have already added troops and horses, and they will be able to make up for the loss, and the marshal does not need to worry too much." ”

Zhang Mai nodded, but still got up and dressed. Half an hour later, there was another battle report, but the enemy had basically crossed the river and there were about five or six thousand people after crossing the river.

Ma Jirong was overjoyed and said: "Qinzhou is worry-free! Since it is a surprise attack, it will come and go suddenly, win with speed, and attack Qinzhou City while I am not prepared! Now that they have gained, they did not come to attack Qinzhou, but instead went to the northwest, which shows that although the generals are brave and abnormal, they are brave and unscrupulous! ”

Zhang Mai ordered: "Take Qinzhou and surround it"

After finding the place where the enemy crossed the river, he moved his finger to the northwest, but there was a pasture there, and the corner of Zhang Mai's mouth twitched, and said: "The other party is not brave and unscrupulous!" Instead, come prepared! Done a lot of work beforehand! He went northwest to grab horses! These people are not infantry, they are cavalry! The cavalry still has this kind of combat power when fighting on foot, what kind of person is this! ”

An Shoushen's heart was shocked, and it was about the fourth watch, when Ma Xiaochun suddenly said outside: "Marshal"

The people outside were a little moved. ”

Zhang Mai shouted: "What do you move? ”

Ma Xiaochun said: "There is a fire in the west! Many people went out to watch. ”

Zhang Mai hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed to the top of the building, and sure enough, he saw a fire rising in the northwest direction, counting the distance, it was that ranch! At this time, the battle report from the front line said that An Shen had joined forces with Ma Xu and had rushed to pursue the enemy.

An Shou was cautious and uneasy" Zhang Mai said: "These two boys, most of them will lose this battle!" It's a pity that An Shou Jing is a hero! These two nephews of yours are very lucky tonight! An Shoushen and Ma Jirong were shocked when they heard Zhang Mai's inference. When he wanted to increase the troops, Zhang Mai didn't allow it, but only said: "Patrol the river well!" Don't let the follow-up forces continue to cross! The battle situation on the ranch side: "It's too late for us to intervene!" ”

Murong Chunhua also heard the news at this time, and after examining the situation of the enemy's soldiers, he said: "Bashu is a genius! There are still such people and centaurs, we can underestimate them before. ”

At about four o'clock, the battle report came again, and the letter soldier was discouraged, and his voice trembled,

Said: "An, Ma two generals arrived at the pasture, but saw that the enemy burned the pasture, the fire soared, they set fire to the formation, General An urged the soldiers and horses to besiege, the enemy led by a thousand people suddenly rushed over, rushed into our army formation, our army could not resist, they broke into the Chinese army, one of the generals was extremely brave, and actually cut ...... before the battle Killed General Ma.........

Ma Jirong sighed, his face became like gold paper, Zhang Mai was expressionless, and said, "What happened later?" ”

"After General Ma was killed in battle, the morale of our army changed, and the other side took the opportunity to rush over, and our army was all scattered, and more than half of those surrendered! General An also disappeared in the chaos. ”

Suddenly hearing this bad news, the surrounding generals were extremely frightened, and Murong Chunhua hurriedly ordered the defeat of the ranch to be silenced.

Zhang Mai's face rose and sank, and suddenly he laughed out loud and praised: "Good! Good! Good opponent! I didn't expect a fire in my backyard, and it was such a powerful character who set the fire! ”

An Shoushen trembled when he heard this, and quickly knelt down to ask for guilt, Zhang Mai waved his hand and said: "The things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and you can get your wish anywhere." Looking at this person's use of soldiers, he is ruthless and vicious, and there seems to be a general understanding of the overall strategy of this battle behind him as a support, if he really sees through the reality of this big game of chess, then this person's vision and means can be compared with Yang Yi and Guo Wei, and you can't fight him, but it is understandable. Then he asked, "Have they raised their banners?" ”

"The first battle of the ranch has been raised, and it is a sword. There is also a smaller banner as a striker, writing the word "blame the king". ”

"The Golden Knife? Liu? Zhang Mai said: "Under Meng Chang, which one is surnamed Liu and General Wang?" Wang Hui? It shouldn't be. "Hurry up and check.

An Shou said cautiously: "No matter who it is, the subordinates will mobilize troops and horses to encircle and suppress!" ”

Zhang Mai said: "River patrol troops, don't act rashly!" After the opponent crosses the water, under the clammy body and frozen hands and feet, he can still fight on foot, repel the cavalry formation, follow the retreat to the pasture, and fight with the fire on his back, he can have more enemies and fewer enemies, and it is easy to win! This is clearly the best of the best soldiers! Only a few elites of our army can be compared with them. They now have five or six thousand people, five or six thousand elite cavalry, crisscrossing the Weihe Plain, if there is no elite with equal strength, tens of thousands of people will not be able to trap them. Unless it was Xiaoshi or Xue Fu was here, it might not be useful to transfer tens of thousands of people. ”

Murong Chunhua said: "Wait for me." ”

Zhang Mai said: "Anyone can move, but you can't move." As he spoke, his eyebrows furrowed, looking very worried.

Murong Chunhua said: "Six thousand cavalry, even if they are elite, can only play a role in disturbing my rear and disturbing the hearts of our army, and cannot attack the city. Originally, at the time of the third watch, since the general surnamed Liu successfully crossed the river, the Shu army should have swarmed after seizing the shore, but the result was only this lone army landing, if my expectations are good, there should be contradictions within the Shu army, and the attacker must be a genius, but King Meng Chang is only afraid that he is not optimistic about this lone army that is in danger. Fortunately, otherwise, I'm afraid that Qinzhou will fall into the land of ten thousand calamities. ”

Zhang Mai perked up a little after hearing this analysis, clapped his hands, and said, "Not bad!" But now it will not be easy for their army to cross the river again. ”

He instructed An Shoushen: "You mobilize men and horses, personally supervise the battle and patrol the river, if there is another man and a horse on the south bank to cross the river!" Just come and see you! ”

An Shoushen took the order. Murong Chunhua said: "Charging in front of the battle, planning to deal with it, not being cautious, but coordinating and arranging, patrolling the river and defending, he can keep Weishui safe." ”

Ma Jirong said: "It's just that the strange army is in the west of our army, but it is like a man's back!" Had to pull it out! ”

Zhang Mai said: "This army of soldiers and horses, I will deal with him personally." ”

Ma Jirong said: "Use a dragon knife to kill chickens? ”

"It's not a chicken, it's a mammoth!" Zhang Mai said: "As for my knife ......" hehe! It's just that I really want to know who this general surnamed Liu is! ”
