Guan Yu is ready to do a short repair in Fufeng, ready to take Xiliang in one fell swoop, unify the west, lay a solid rear, no worries and then wave the east, at this time Ma Teng has been defeated, the recovery of Xiliang is also immediately available, as long as his army to Xiliang marches, Xiliang will be surrendered to the wind, Xiliang is a desolate place, the population is relatively sparse, but the strategic position is very important, Xiliang is the Silk Road must pass through, is the bridge between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, Trade here is very active, all advanced materials are also transferred here through the Western Regions, especially the key raw materials used in the war, are transferred to the Central Plains through here, such as what horses and steel and silk and the like, if you sit on the West Liang, it is tantamount to the first month near the water, you can provide a steady stream of supplies for your future hegemony, you can step up to a new level in weapons and equipment, and have the advantages that other princes can not match, the war horses and steel in the Western Regions are super first-class, No place in the Central Plains can be defeated, and having these increases the weight for sweeping the Quartet.

For the war in the era of cold weapons, tactics and the ferocity of the generals are certainly one thing, but the use of equipment and weapons is also an important side, the reason why the Qin State swept the six countries to unify the four together, on the one hand, depends on his strategy and tactics, the developed economy, and another important aspect may be ignored, what aspect? That is the weapons of the Qin State, the Qin State is located in the western border, and the Hu people, his weapons are very sharp, these weapons undoubtedly increase the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, improve the ability to fight, the Qin State Iron Cavalry can be said to be indestructible. The defense of the Six Kingdoms is in front of the Qin State, that is, it is devastating and decaying, and the vicissitudes of life. Things changed and stars shifted, and it was the Three Kingdoms era. The pursuit of weapons and equipment remains important.

Rebirth of this era, due to the constraints of the conditions Guan Yu can not achieve large-scale development of firearms, if he had been the king a long time ago, a modern person mixed into the era of cold weapons, the only thing that can be done is to develop these basic weapons, the weapons and equipment are made more sharp, the war horses are equipped with better ones, and these have improved a lot of combat effectiveness, and now Guan Yu's painstaking army has achieved initial results. Since the regularization and professionalization of the army, especially since the development of multiple arms, the combat effectiveness of the army has begun to improve rapidly, and the scale of operations has achieved initial results, especially in the aspect of siege and land grabbing, his special forces and heavy arms have played a lot of strength, which has made Guan Yu firm in his confidence in the future, if the equipment of these troops is improved, this army is simply invincible, what Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Sun Quan. What Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Yan Liangwen Chou will all be defeated in front of his powerful army, and this army will break through the four directions to overcome the troubles and become an invincible army that sweeps through China. Whether you are a wise strategist or a battle-hardened general, you will be rendered powerless and distorted by his mighty army, and your impregnable city or impregnable fortress will be paralyzed by his army. This strong team will shoulder the mission of unifying China, and will shoulder Guan Yu to sit on the throne of Emperor Guan. Guan Yu kept thinking about it

Xiliang can not only provide reliable equipment support for the future hegemony, but also provide support in manpower. In history, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is very famous, and the Xiliang people are also famous, that is to say, the physical fitness of the people is good, and the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang soldiers after training is very strong, so many years to fight in the east and west, Guan Yu's soldiers are also from all over the world, from which he found that the Xiliang soldiers are the best one, if they occupy Xiliang this time, they can also recruit soldiers, add new strength to the troops, and it can be seen from the above aspects that it is of great significance to capture Xiliang!

At this time, Guan Yu has been out of the division for a few months, this time the western expedition can be described as a victory, Li conquered the three cities, and won the three auxiliary places in one fell swoop, things are going very smoothly, this time he defeated Ma Teng's department in one fell swoop, and he should take advantage of the victory to take Xiliang, but he began to worry about the situation in the east for so long, and he has always been worried about the affairs of Luoyang after leaving for so long, and when he left, he made arrangements for Luoyang's affairs, handed over to Liu Bei and Zhu Jun to take care of, and sent Zhang Fei to guard the Tiger Pass, Li Su refused to guard the Bishui Pass, Wen Ping is responsible for the defense of Luoyang, especially the letter that provoked the war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, some time ago he received a letter from Luoyang saying that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao launched the Liyang War, and the war between the two sides entered a stalemate.

The current situation is very good, but it will take some time to pacify Xiliang, he is worried that there will be an incident in the east, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are holding each other, who wins and who loses is really difficult to figure out for a while, at this time Yuan Shao's camp should be no shortage of strategists and brave generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are all there, so the strength should not be underestimated, although Yuan Shao is incompetent, but his subordinates are full of talents, it is impossible to be easily crossed by Cao Cao, not to mention Yuan Shao's strength is flourishing, compared to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's strength at this time is still relatively weak, Although he is a wise master, but in the face of the powerful Yuan Shao, Cao Cao is still a little afraid, it is still difficult to do the snake swallowing the elephant, but Yuan Shao can not eat Cao Cao, the two can only hold on to each other, which provides the possibility for him to go west, not to sleep long overnight, leaving Luoyang for a long time, he is worried about the internal changes in Luoyang, Luoyang is the land of the emperor, concentrated a large number of capable ministers, and he has just gained a foothold, once someone inside the enemy should cooperate with the outside to launch a coup d'état, Then everything he did before would be wasted, but this possibility is also very slim.

Why do you say that? Because he Guan Yu is a fine person, bold as a fighting heart and meticulous as a hair, this is what he is now, Luoyang, who has undergone some careful deployment before leaving, how can he be so easily obtained by others, not to mention that the military power is firmly in the hands of his own people, Liu Bei, Zhu Jun, Zhang Fei, and Wen Ping are all their own sworn friends, and they are loyal to themselves, and the emperor is young and has no desire for power, so even if there are people in the court who are ready to move, the conditions are not ripe, and they will not dare to act rashly. If this kind of deliberation continues, the overall situation in the eastern region should be stable. The opportunity to take Xiliang is still available, Guan Yu thought about it again and again and decided to rest the men and horses and advance to Xiliang.

Xiliang can be described as Guan Yu's second hometown. Since his debut, he has stayed here twice, this time is the third time, Guan Yu is still relatively familiar with Xiliang, of course, the people of Xiliang are no strangers to Guan Yu, Guan Yu at that time followed Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo recruited a lot of soldiers in Xiliang, Guan Yu trained soldiers, Dong Zhuo's army fought bravely, especially Guan Yu's outstanding performance left a deep impression on the people of Xiliang. However, Dong Zhuo's wanton accumulation of wealth has also offended many people, especially the elite class in Xiliang, Dong Zhuo did not abuse them when he was in Xiliang, they hated this guy very much, but due to Dong Zhuo's prestige, they could only swallow their anger, Guan Yu was not a good person in their eyes at that time, but later the situation reversed, and Guan Yu actually slaughtered Dong Zhuo. This is tantamount to giving them a bad breath, so Guan Yu still has a certain public opinion base in Xiliang.

Guan Yu is very familiar with the situation in Xiliang, and this time he came to Xiliang to recover his hometown, and he has a considerable public opinion base. There is also the banner of taking the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the most important thing is that Ma Teng, the master of Xiliang, has been defeated, and Ma Teng has not been supporting Xiliang for a long time. There is no public opinion base in Xiliang, and last time he was defeated by Guan Yu and fled to Xiliang in a hurry. Ma Teng is ready to repair Han Sui, who has joined the state, and is ready to make a comeback. But where did he know that Guan Yu no longer gave him a chance to breathe, Guan Yu's army continued to advance towards Xiliang, and smashed the central city of Xiliang - Liangzhou!

Fate is so bizarre, from here out and back here, the third time to Xiliang, to this familiar land, the past is not as good as smoke everything is vivid, ten years ago he Guan Yu stood in Xiliang on the cong platform to point the scene suddenly jumped in the memory, Guan Yu this way, so hard, so brilliant so incredible, this decade he from a parasitic general suddenly became a leader in his own right, became an important force in the late Han Dynasty rose in the world, became with Yuan Shao, The princes of Cao Cao and others, no! It should be said that the princes above them, now he is the greatest strength in the world, sitting on the land of two capitals, with the rich land of Guanzhong, if he takes Xiliang this time, he Guan Yu is the largest in the world in terms of manpower, material resources and influence.

It is not easy to come to this point as a modern person, or it is simply incredible, he is a dick in the late Han Dynasty, no background, no money, no future, a reckless boy in the mountains, all the way to become the prince of the dominant party, really responded to that sentence: The prince will Xiangning have a kind? In the end, people still have to work hard and forge ahead and continue to plan, a person's ability is big and small, but can not give up dreams, Guan Yu can actually go to today, although there is the favor of fate, but it is inseparable from his efforts, of course, it also depends on his careful analysis of the future and his sober mind, since he came to this world to this era, the difficulties and challenges he faced, the temptation and confusion he faced never stopped, but he did not retreat but rose to the challenge, and walked through a difficult and dangerous obstacle, Breaking through an obstacle and finally he succeeded, how many times he wandered between life and death, how many times he escaped death, how many times his life hung by a thread, how many times he walked to the battlefield where either you die or I die, it is this era, it is false to say that you are not afraid, anyone is life-saving, but many times people can talk about life and death, choose this era and choose such a life The only way to go forward is to break out of the world, many times it is to die and then live, today he Guan Yu succeeded, but who knows the bitterness behind this, he has carried too much, and only he knows it in his heart.

Entering the early winter season, the Xiliang land is withered, the grass and trees are withered, occasionally you can see some yellow-green plants, and the wind is beginning to chill, but it has not yet reached the biting extent, the Xiliang wind and sand in this era are not so big, and the sandstorm is just a legend, but compared to the richness of the Central Plains, it still seems desolate here, but this is the familiar taste of Xiliang for Guan Yu, it has always been buried by the war, drunk and lying on the battlefield Jun Mo Xiao, the ancients fought a few people back! This may be a natural battlefield, the desert has added a lot of mystery to the conquest of Liangzhou Guan Yu carried 50,000 horses, under the escort of the generals Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Li Yan and Zhou Cang, and marched towards Liangzhou, this Liangzhou City is the gateway of the entire Xiliang, the geographical location is very important, and the strategic location is self-evident. After many years of uninterrupted construction, the city was strong. The fortifications are complete, but since Dong Zhuo occupied Xiliang. There was no repair for the Liangzhou city defense fortifications, and most of the entrenched people were temporarily resided, and after Ma Teng retreated to Liangzhou, the Liangzhou city defense had not yet had time to repair due to the defeat.

Ma Teng fled to the Liangzhou border in a panic after the fiasco of Fufeng, and then saw that there were less than 30,000 horses left under his men, and suffered heavy losses, Ma Teng knew that the general trend had gone, and it was not easy to make a comeback if he wanted to make a comeback in Fufeng, and Ma Teng suddenly lost confidence in the future. Seeing this, Yang Qiu said to Ma Teng: "The lord doesn't have to worry, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the lord must not lose his fighting spirit because of this battle!" We'll make a comeback! ”

After hearing this, Ma Teng turned around and asked Yang Qiu, "Comeback?" That's easy to say! Do you know how to raise so many soldiers and horses in a short period of time? Is it an overnight thing to accumulate such a large amount of force? ”

"Lord, you forgot that there is a saying that 'the stones of other mountains can attack jade', Guan Yu is brave, proficient in the art of war, far-reaching strategy, strong and strong, to compete with it, it is really difficult to win with our strength alone!" Yang Qiu said immediately.

After Yang Qiu finished speaking, Ma Teng stroked his beard and stared, "What do you mean?" ”

Yang Qiu continued: "Fang Jin, we are newly defeated, Guan Yu's momentum is flourishing, if you want to make a comeback, the lord needs to unite the two forces!" ”

"Oh? Which two force weights? Ma Teng asked.

Yang Qiu continued: "One of the two forces is the righteous brother of the lord and Han Sui, and the other is the king of Qiang. One of these two forces is in the east and the other is in the west, we will unite these two forces to make an appointment to crusade against Guan Yu, and the three-way army will soon be able to assemble and wave to the east, and the comeback is just around the corner! ”

Ma Teng's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he nodded and said, "It's a good idea." Since we can't support it alone, we can unite them to attack and support each other and regain the previous morale. Now let's go back to Liangzhou to do some trimming, and then combine these two forces. The army is advancing eastward, and I think Guan Yu can't stay in Chang'an for a long time. Although he now sits on two capitals, the imperial capital Luoyang has always been concerned about his heart, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's rise in the east directly constitutes a threat to Luoyang, I think the purpose of his Guan Yu's westward expedition is to create a stable rear to relieve his worries and then wave his army eastward, so he will not stay here for a long time, as long as Guan Yu withdraws, we will start to act, the army will immediately approach Fufeng, at that time Guan Yu is bound by the east and west two battlefields, and he is in a dilemma! Our capture of Chang'an is just around the corner! ”

"The lord's analysis is reasonable! So the lord doesn't have to worry too much, what we have to do now is to go back to Liangzhou to rest. Yang Qiu then persuaded Ma Teng.

Ma Teng then made up his mind to lead these remnants of the army to retreat to Liangzhou City, where did Ma Teng know that Guan Yu did not give him a chance to breathe at all, not long after he withdrew to Liangzhou City, Guan Yu's 50,000 army had advanced to Liangzhou, in Guan Yu's opinion, as long as Liangxi Liang was taken, it would be hot to get, this Liangzhou City is the gateway to Xiliang, the whole city is not only tall and majestic, but also majestic, the city gate is also extraordinarily tight, the city wall is also very strong, the city has set up a lookout at intervals to ambush crossbowmen and rolling wood stones, It is the strongest city in Xiliang, Guan Yu followed Dong Zhuo to conquer Xiliang, that is, he used his wits to seize Liangzhou, fate is so wonderful, this time it is his turn to attack Liangzhou, but this time he has to choose another way to attack.

In what way? That is to continue to give full play to their multi-arms professional advantages, with the cavalry as the vanguard to Liangzhou City, with lightning speed to launch an attack on Liangzhou City, taking advantage of Ma Teng's foothold is not stable, negligent to guard against the then special forces rushed to Liangzhou City, aiming to seize the dominance of Liangzhou City, not giving Ma Teng a chance to backhand at all, and crushing him in one fell swoop, which is called the pursuit of victory in the art of war, it can also be said that the enemy retreats and I advance, which is different from putting him to death and then surviving, when Ma Teng retreated, Guan Yu did not rush to catch up, If that is the case, it is easy to cause Ma Teng to break the kettle and make a desperate bet, and it is likely to be defeated by Ma Teng, Ma Teng retreated to Liangzhou very smoothly, as he discussed with Yang Qiu, they were ready to rest in Liangzhou and then move eastward, so they would not have thought that Guan Yu would come to Liangzhou at all.

Entering the early winter of the west cool, the wind and sand are also a little chilly, but this does not affect the morale of Guan Yu's army, on the basis of fully ensuring the supply of the army, Guan Yu's army's combat effectiveness is amazing, since he was in power, Guan Yu has actively promoted the image of the "strongman" king, resorting to the world by force, trying to eliminate all dissident forces, pursuing the use of force to pacify the world, eliminate the Quartet, Guan Yu as a soldier has been living a military career for many years, for some disputes and things he also chooses to solve problems by force, Force has made him stand out again and again until today, force has made him sit on the throne of the king, he believes that force is supreme, and only force can achieve everything.
