Sun Ce conquered Xiakou, the news of the influx of Jiangdong soldiers and horses into Jingzhou has not yet been completely spread, 50,000 Xiliang Ma family army has been assembled in Tianshui County, with Yuan Shang's order, the mighty forced to Qishan, at the same time, 30,000 tiger and wolf troops stationed in Sanguan also completed the return to the division with Pang Tong, since Chencang, through Sanguan, two 100,000 soldiers and horses to defend each other, towards the south Zheng killed.

The imperial court's notice to Liu Zhang has been announced two days ago, Liu Zhang's disrespect for the decree, the Son of Heaven wants to recruit him to return to the court, Liu Zhang refused again, several holy decrees, one after another were thrown in the corner, even the messenger of the Son of Heaven was killed two, the emperor was furious, the special army came to exterminate Liu Zhang, this news, under the activities of the intelligence department, has long been spread throughout Yizhou, even those Di people have also heard of it, Yizhou shook, and the atmosphere became weird.

Take Hanzhong first, is the primary strategy set by Yuan Shang and many strategists, Hanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but anyone with a little vision understands the importance of Hanzhong to Yizhou, and now Yuan Shang suddenly shot at Yizhou, his purpose is very clear, that is, to pull out the stinger in his heart that may be dangerous to Chang'an.

The imperial court did not pursue other county officials, and the soldiers were just aimed at Liu Zhang, although Zhang Lu cut off the connection between Hanzhong and the imperial court, he still maintained a certain respect, at least, he did not dare to kill the envoy without hesitation as he did ten years ago.

Yuan Shang's excuse is very simple, it is indeed the most effective, the imperial court must borrow Hanzhong to recruit Liu Zhang, this reason is sufficient, and it is also a clumsy excuse with bad intentions.

It is not difficult for Yuan Shang to want to swallow Hanzhong, and Zhang Lu can also see it, but. Is he willing?

At least not for now. That's what people are. If it hurts badly, it usually doesn't last a long time.

The first to be beaten down was none other than Yang Ang, who was known as the first general under Zhang Lu, and his opponent was the Xiliang Ma Jiajun led by Ma Chao.

Ma Teng still led the crowd to confront Han Sui, and Ma Teng, who received the news of Yuan Shang's recruitment, did not hesitate much, so he asked his eldest son Ma Chao to gather 50,000 elite soldiers and ordered Pang De and others to accompany him from Tianshui to Hanzhong.

Qishan is located on the north side of the Han River, the mountain is extended, and the ground chokes the throat of Shulong. It is a strategic point that can be attacked and defended, and it has always been a place where Longshu must fight, and Zhuge Liang's six out of Qishan in history took place here.

There is a solid city built on the top of the peak in the middle of Qishan, and the army composed of Yang Ang and 65,000 Taoist believers is stationed in the city, condescending, occupying a favorable position.

Ma Chao stood upright, followed by dozens of tough-looking generals, Pang De and Liang Xiyun and Hetian Kai were all present.

Except for Liang Xiyun, Hetian Kai, who was secretly transferred to Liangzhou from Chang'an, the rest of Pang De, Ma Tie and others were the backbone of the Ma family's army, or the children of the Ma family. or has an inextricable relationship with the Ma family.

And these 50,000 soldiers and horses are known as the Liangzhou Ma Family Army. In fact, there were nearly 20,000 people who did not return to the Ma family, and it was Yuan Shang's warrant that really let them go south to Yizhou, so Liang Xiyun, Hetian Kai and others also accompanied them in this battle.

Ma Chao's mood is obviously good, standing on the city tower, looking condescendingly into the distance, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Qishan has been occupied by him, although he has paid a little price, but it is also within the range that he and everyone can bear, and Yang Ang has already fled, 60,000 soldiers and horses in the city, more than 40,000 surrendered, and Yang Ang evacuated Qishan together, but more than 10,000 people.

Thinking of Yang Ang, he heard Ma Chao sneer: "What is the first general in Hanzhong, just a rat." ”

The generals behind him laughed, Ma Chao was not right, Yang Ang, the first general in Hanzhong, showed that he was a little too famous, occupying the benefits of the city, but the command and dispatch were slightly weak, the main general's vision and ears could not give full play to the ability to listen to all directions, only two charges, Ma Chao found an opportunity, opened the city gate in one fell swoop, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses swarmed in, but two hours of effort, Yang Ang could only try his best to gather more than 10,000 people, and went away in embarrassment.

"Major General, Yang Ang is already in disarray, do you want to wave your troops to attack Nanzheng immediately?" One of the lieutenants asked aloud.

"No"

Ma Chao said after a deep sigh: "Our army only has 50,000 soldiers and horses, that Zhang Lu has been entrenched in Hanzhong for so many years, controlling hundreds of thousands of people in Hanzhong with evil words, thinking about it, it is not a problem to organize an army of more than 100,000 people, our army's first battle seems to be victorious, but it is strange everywhere, or converge with General Staff Pang and then make plans." ”

didn't wait for the man to speak again, but saw Ma Chao look at the three generals Liang Xiyun Hetian Kai, and said in a rather gentle tone: "Three generals, do you have other opinions?" ”

Liang Xiyun, Hetian Kai and the three of them only had the rank of colonel in the Tiger Wolf Fierce Army, and they were far from being called generals, but they also knew that this was Ma Chao's performance of respecting them, but they didn't take it seriously.

saw Liang Xi smile and said: "The young general is old, and Liang has no objection." ”

Yunhe and Tian Kai also smiled and said, "We have no objection." ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he nodded his head and said, "In this way, I will immediately let the Falcon Intelligence Team get in touch with General Staff Pang." ”

Liang Xiyun, He, Tian Kai and the three of them had no other objections, and soon, in the sky of Qishan, there were more than a dozen harrier eagles fluttering their wings, compared to manpower, these well-trained birds and birds will undoubtedly be much faster.

Pang Tong is just starting from Dasanguan at the moment, the foot is not fast, Ma Chao advocates fast attack, so whether it is marching or fighting, the rhythm is unusually fast, and he is a little slow, I don't know why, this time into Shu, he has an inexplicable sense of crisis, which is not felt in the past several times in Shu.

Pang Tong this person, born in Guigumen, is the only descendant of this generation, although Guigumen does not believe in heaven and man, however, this feeling in the dark, but still more convinced, based on this, he deliberately slowed down the pace of attacking Shudi, in order to expel the inexplicable but existential crisis in his heart.

"General Staff, will our march be a little slower?" Zhang Liao, who was covered in armor and only showed a pair of eyes, said in a respectful voice.

At the beginning, the eight strong generals who followed Lu Bu to serve Yuan Shang, not surprisingly, Zhang Liao Zangba Gao Shun have been reused, that is, Lu Bu, who is known as a repeated villain, this time he is also in the hands of the army, although it is not as good as being in charge of fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses under Dong Zhuo, but he is also one of the generals guarding Youzhou, and Zhang Liao and Zang Ba Gao Shun were transferred from Lu Bu's command, and now, with Lu Bu surrendered Yuan Shang's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the eight strong generals also have their own belongings, Zhang Liao was originally under the command of Zhao to listen to orders, With several captain-level generals defending against the Xianbei people, now together with the Yizhou War, Zhang Liao was transferred from the hand of Qian Zhao by Pang Tong in the name of the war, and there was also an elite armor soldier, all of which were under the jurisdiction of Pang Tong.

Zhang Liao is a very scheming general, no worse than the famous Gao Shun, in the past under Lu Bu, the light was captured by Gao Shun, so Zhang Liao in the early stage was not very famous, and now he has left Lu Bu's side, Zhang Liao's personal charm gradually exudes, Yuan Shang said that he is handsome, this is not just from the Three Kingdoms novels he has read, Zhang Liao has been in the Jin Dynasty for less than three years, and has become the right-hand man of the Zhao, saying that it is the superior, and the talent of Zhang Liao, and the intersection with his peers, it is not easy, you know, The military rank of the recruit has long been a general, and the gap between the generals and the school, sometimes, is a horizontal ditch that is difficult to cross, which can make the recruit put down his body and intersect with his peers, Zhang Liao's own talent can be imagined.

Hearing what Zhang Liao said, Pang Tong shook his head and said, "Don't worry"

"If Ben Shen's prediction is correct, Ma Mengqi should have fought with Zhang Lu's subordinates at this moment, since the fight has already started, I don't need to rush to Nanzheng."

"Will it go this way?" Zhang Liao shook his head, he always thought that Zhang Lu would not surrender so easily.

"Won't"

Pang Tong cut the gold and cut the railway: "Zhang Lu, the emperor of the soil, has also been the emperor for more than ten years, and the people of Hanzhong support him, thinking that Zhang Lu should still be immersed in fantasy at this time, and really think that he is the emperor, so it is definitely impossible to surrender without a fight, if we want to take Hanzhong, we must first hurt Zhang Lu, in this injury, in fact, Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang are the same dog." ”

Zhang Liao laughed and said: "In the words of the lord, it is cheap." ”

Pang Tong smiled and said nothing, but at this moment, a black shadow appeared in the sky, and among the tens of thousands of people below, more than a dozen men in gray robes quickly ran out, their arms wrapped in leather armor were stretched, and the screams were similar to a little surprise, and soon, the harrier eagle carrying Ma Chao's news fell into the hands of one of the gray-robed people.

The man didn't dare to delay, untied the small letter box at the foot of the harrier eagle, said hello to his colleagues, and after a while, headed towards Pang Tong. (To be continued......)
