Hanyang County, formerly known as Tianshui County, in the seventeenth year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (74 AD), Tianshui County was renamed Hanyang County, and Ji County was changed to govern Ji County, which is still in use today.

It is located in the west of Fufeng in Yongzhou, northeast of Wudu in Yizhou, the terrain is complex, the mountains are criss-crossed, the altitude difference is huge, the mountains, basins, Pingchuan, deserts and Gobi are both, it is a mountainous plateau landform. Its eastern part and Yongzhou are blocked by Wuyue Mountain, a branch of the Qinling Mountains, so although the area is adjacent to each other, there are actually only two major roads leading to Chencang.

Its south side passes through Gulong County, out of Longguan, and arrives at Wangxian County in the northwest of Chencang.

To the north of Longguan is Longshan, which is also a small branch of the Qinling Mountains, of course, the current Qinling Mountains are called Nanshan, which makes the connection between Hanyang and Yongzhou be cut off again, until the intersection of the northern part of Longshan and the Liupan Mountains, there is a section of extremely open river valley area, which is also a big road in the north of Hanyang into Yongzhou, which leads directly to Yangcheng in the north of Wangxian County.

This area extends in all directions, located in the east of Luoyang County, Hanyang County, because it is a traffic artery, a throat point, so a very important ancient town has also arisen since the Han Dynasty.

Its name is - Street Spring Pavilion!

Of course, because the name Jiequan Pavilion is very difficult to call, people are more accustomed to calling it Street Pavilion!

In addition to these two major roads, another avenue from Xiliang to Yongzhou is far away, at the border between Beidi and Anding counties hundreds of miles away, leading directly to Qi County in the north of Fufeng.

In the early morning of the next day when Wang Xu set out to implement Wei Yan's strategy, he personally led his troops from Chencang, leading Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Dian Wei, Gan Ning, Zhou Zhi, Zhang Jing and other generals. and the elite special units of various divisions and the elite cavalry of the 5,000 Guards Legion. Straight to Longguan.

Meantime. After sending the general Chen to the 20,000 infantry of the horses, the soldiers entered the street pavilion. Wei Yan, the general of Zhengxi, commanded the main force of soldiers and horses, and slowly marched into Wangxian, and the military division of the Prime Minister's Mansion sacrificed wine Zhuge Jin led 30,000 elite soldiers to defend Chencang, and Hengye general Liao Hua still led 20,000 elite soldiers to defend Yangcheng.

This action, of course, could not be concealed from the Ma family's meticulous work, the army had just set off for only half a day, and Xiliang Kuaima sent the information to Ma Teng.

"You think. What is Wang Xu's intention to march this time? Ma Tenggao sat in the handsome seat, his brows furrowed, and he was deeply worried.

"What else can I do, I must be tempting!"

Inside the tent stood a rather quiet-looking general, eight feet long, but it did not make people feel stout, but had an elegant demeanor, which was very rare in Xiliang. It's just because the people of Xiliang have always dressed roughly, and they are tall and big. There are not many people like him who have the demeanor of a scribe.

This man is none other than him. It is the wise man of Xiliang who has a number, the surname is successful, a single name is an English character, after the death of Han Sui in history, he took refuge in Cao Cao, was deeply respected by him, was appointed as a military advisor, and was named the Marquis, in the entire Xiliang Yingjie, belongs to the wise and brave figures, and now he is also an important minister under Ma Teng.

Hearing his reply, Ma Teng couldn't help asking: "Temptation? Why? ”

"Returning to the lord, if it is not expected, then Wang Xu is probably really as we speculated at the beginning, his intention is to fight for a long time, and this time he must come to test the deployment of my Xiliang army, and at the same time to understand our combat strength!" Cheng Gongying replied respectfully.

"Wang Xu is going to play, he wants to play with us!" Before Ma Teng could answer, Ma Yi was the first to speak, and his beautiful face was full of anger. "He's clearly fighting for me!"

"Fight for you?" Ma Teng wondered. "Why do you always say he's going to fight against you?"

Ma Yi smiled bitterly, but he couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only arch his hand and say: "Father, the child can't say it clearly, in short, the father just needs to know, Wang Xu will stare at me, where the child is, where it must be, the child hereby promises, no matter what, at least drag Wang Xu, but everywhere else, the child is really powerless, it all depends on the father and the generals to do it." ”

"In short, whether I Xiliang can defeat the strong with the weak in this battle, whether I can build an immortal feat, the winner and loser is not Wang Xu, no longer a child, but in you, I hope you will act according to the predetermined strategy, be sure to fight every battle, if it succeeds, Xiliang will achieve the general trend, and you Xiliang heroes will build immortal achievements!"

With his words, the civil and military forces in the tent suddenly shouted in unison: "The ministers will do their best to assist the lord and the young lord to achieve a great cause!" ”

"Thank you!" Ma Yi arched his hand, his eyes swept over the people in the tent one by one, and then he resolutely looked at Ma Teng, and said loudly: "Since Wang Xu came to test it in person, the boy will personally greet him, and he is willing to lead 10,000 iron cavalry to reinforce Longguan and fight against it!" ”

"Brother, why don't I go on your behalf!"

A magnetic voice sounded, and the person who came out of the voice was like a crown of jade, and his lips were painted with vermilion, and he was a handsome and beautiful man, and even many women were afraid that it would be difficult to compete with the beauty. It's just that his eyebrows are heroic, his face is resolute and calm, and his body is tall and strong, so he is not lacking in manhood.

This person is none other than Ma Teng, the second son born to Ma Teng and his Qiang wife - Ma Chao!

Because of its handsome and abnormal appearance, it is admired by the world, so the folk describe it as as beautiful as brocade, and call it Jinma Chao.

It's just that don't despise him because of his appearance, in the hearts of the Qiang people, clans, and Hu people, Ma Chao is now like a god, praising his wisdom and bravery, and worshipping him. Not to mention Ma Chao in history, his name goes down in history, his deeds have been recited through the ages, he is a household name, and he is one of the most famous generals in this period.

At this moment, his voice fell, but Ma Yi didn't want to think about it, and said directly: "Meng Qi, this battle is not trivial, I have to go in person, you must also go together!" ”

"Brother......

Ma Chao wanted to say more, but Ma Yi was already rushing to interrupt with a wave of his hand: "Needless to say, this matter is not negotiable!" ”

Ma Yi seemed to have a very high status in Ma Chao's heart, and seeing his firm attitude, he hesitated, but after all, he didn't say anything more, and turned around and sat down.

Seeing this, Ma Teng didn't hesitate too much, nodded and agreed: "Yi'er, since that's the case, then you can send troops on your own!" ”

"Thank you, father!" Ma Yi's face was neither happy nor sad, and he remained calm.

In fact, Ma Teng is a very thoughtful and decisive person, don't talk about Ma Yi in his early years, even if anyone says it, since he rebelled with the general current, no one knows how powerful Ma Teng is for many years, even Ma Yi was so nonsense when he was young, he was also obedient.

But now. He was old after all. And Ma Yi has also grown up rapidly over the years. Really find a way suitable for this era, so as to slowly gain Ma Teng's trust, rest assured that the Ma family's hard work to lay the foundation, gradually transferred to his hands, although the current Ma Yi is still a young master, but the full strength is almost equivalent to Ma Teng.

The crowd quickly dispersed and proceeded according to the original arrangement, while Ma Yi hurriedly ordered. Mobilize the elite to quickly reinforce Longguan, in his heart, this is also his war with Wang Xu!

………………

Longguan is not the most majestic pass in the world, but it is also quite amazing, the city is high and the walls are thick, and the defense is complete.

After Wang Xu led his troops to this place, he did not rush to fight, but only set up camp ten miles away from Guannan and did not move.

For his actions. The generals in the army were very puzzled and asked him to fight one after another. It's a pity that they were all treated coldly, and until the end, Wang Xu was asked, and he simply didn't see anyone.

Zhao Yun and Dian Wei are better, Zhao Yun is calm, Dian Wei is unconditionally obedient, but Gan Ning and Yan Liang can't sit still, seeing that they can't get an answer from Wang Xu, the two of them are anxious to find Zhou Zhi and complain loudly.

"General Zhou, what's going on with this lord, it's been three days since we arrived in this Longguan, since it's a temptation, why do we have to fight to be tempted! I'm bored to death in the camp all day. Gan Ning was in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, so he rushed to speak.

Zhou Zhi was staying alone in the camp tent, burying his head in studying the map on the table, but was suddenly interrupted by the two of them rushing in in so anxiously, looking very unhappy, waving his hand and saying: "You ask me what to do, I am not the boss, ask your lord to go!" ”

"Alas! But the lord won't see us! Yan Liang sighed.

"Then don't bother me, don't you see that I'm busy?" Zhou Zhi was still staring at his map, and he didn't look at the two of them.

"General Zhou, you are just locked up in the camp every day and draw around, what are you painting, the lord is so unadvanced and does not retreat, but the soldiers are taboo, as General Wei, why don't you persuade you?" Gan Ning complained.

"Persuade! What is the use of persuasion? Zhou Zhi seemed to have been so noisy that he couldn't do things quietly, so he could only raise his head to deal with the two of them.

"If the lord is not there, the last general will definitely not be in a hurry, but now that he is here, his safety makes the last general have to be anxious!"

Gan Ning's words are actually right, when the army is in the enemy's territory, it is very dangerous to stand still, and it is easy to fall into a state of encirclement by the enemy.

"I said Xingba! You don't know him well yet, don't worry! will not fall into the place of death, the surrounding land, he must have arranged the big pit a long time ago, if the Ma family dares not to come out of Longguan, what kind of moth do they want to play, ensure that they fall into the pit, one fall is accurate! ”

"Then now that the lord is like this, what is the plan, we are both anxious, and it is really uncomfortable to hold it like this!" Yan Liang took over and said.

"Here? Planning? Zhou Zhi looked at the two and smiled: "There is no plan!" ”

"Didn't plan it?"

Gan Ning and Yan Liang looked at each other, and after a while, Gan Ning smiled bitterly: "Then our army came here, just like this, watching the Xiliang army on Longguan laugh at us for being cowardly, laughing at us for not having the courage to attack?" ”

"What else? Which of you can take Longguan? Zhou Zhi pouted, spread his hands and said: "If you have a way to capture Longguan, then you can go to my boss, he must be happy to listen to you, but if not, then hold it like this!" ”

When Gan Ning and Yan Liang heard his words, they were really helpless and depressed!

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the two of them in their bones, Zhou Zhi was a little unbearable, thought about it seriously, and then sighed: "Xingba is okay, after all, I don't know the boss very well, but you don't know Yan Liang either?" He must have an arrangement for doing things, what's the hurry, sooner or later there will be a battle for you, and there will be merit for you, you have this time, it is better to think about the strategy of breaking the enemy, or analyze the strategy of Xiliang, wouldn't it be better? ”

"Alas!"

The two anxious people sighed, looking helpless, and Yan Liang couldn't help muttering: "If I can bear it, I will come to ask you what you are doing!" ”

"Come on! Go back and rest in peace! Don't bother me, I don't think there will be a fierce battle in three days, and there will be a time for you to vent your anger! ”

"Is General Zhou's words true?" Gan Ning's eyes lit up, he was now eager to make meritorious contributions.

"Is what I said false?" Zhou Zhi raised his eyebrows.

"The lord often says that most of your words are false, and you can't believe it!" Yan Liang said very solemnly.

"Hah! How dare you question me, and tell you honestly, this is waiting for someone! Who didn't people come to hit? As for Longguan, don't think about it, even if the 100,000 army fights for a month, it may not be able to take it, and it will be clear in three days, you go quickly! Come on! Don't bother me anymore, I'll interrupt you! Really! Don't miss my plan! ”
