"It seems that the time has been re-established to protect the Western Regions," Liu Changsheng leaned back in the recliner, crossed his hands and hugged the back of his head, but he had a plan in his heart, smiled, and said, "The three of those in Hanzhong Jingxian Academy, who would rather die than surrender, must have stayed in a hot place, and they have been eating and drinking for nothing for two years, so it's time to let those people move!"

"What does Your Highness mean?" Jufu was taken aback, thinking that Liu Changsheng dared to let Guo Huai and others, who were trapped in Hanzhong, preside over the affairs of the Western Regions, that is an important position in charge of the important land of Xiliang, and people who are not henchmen cannot take on it.

"I'll write a letter to Deng Taishou, and you send someone to Hanzhong!" Liu Changsheng didn't care about the surprise of the sentence, those people didn't understand Guo Huai, but Liu Changsheng understood, this kind of person didn't surrender because he was grateful for Cao Cao's kindness, and he didn't want to fight with Wei.

Let those people face the old master, naturally they would rather die than obey, but once he is given a more suitable position, he will definitely be tempted, Bi Jing is a heroic man, he has the ambition to make contributions, and he definitely doesn't want to go on here, and after passing through the Western Regions, he can also leave a name in history, why not?

For more than two years, Wei sent envoys to ransom these people many times, but they were all prevaricated by Wei Yan, and even sent dead soldiers to Hanzhong several times to rescue them, but they were all killed, and those people also saw that Liu Changsheng was determined not to let them go, if they didn't want to die of old age, they should make a wise choice.

Jufu understood that Liu Changsheng was good at employing people, but he had really heard of such boldness from the end, but this kind of thing was not something he could interfere with, and he didn't make much suggestions, so he reported to Liu Changsheng about Xiliang.

Under the Yanmen Pass, the Wei army camp collapsed in the heavy snow, and in the face of the snow-capped Yanmen Pass, Cao Yu had no choice but to retreat.

The weather is cold, more than ten wells and catapults attack in turns, this Xiongguan is standing, Xianbei people will close the door from the inside after blocking, then hide in the pass to watch.

The Wei army attacked from a distance, and then ignored it, and as soon as he approached the pass, countless boulders, bows and arrows fell all over the sky, and in three days, nearly 5,000 people were injured, and Yanmen Pass could only attack from the front, and he was not given room to play the advantage of table tennis.

This Xiongguan has blocked the attack of the Saiwaihu people for thousands of years, but now it has become a nightmare for the Wei army, facing the tall and majestic pass, even if there are siege equipment, it is helpless, and the lost ping pong power in vain makes Cao Yu's heart bleed.

After withdrawing to the Yin Pavilion, Cao Yu guarded the main roads in order to prevent the Xianbei army from sneaking attack, so he could only wait for the weather to clear before making plans.

Wang Changyan said, "The generals and thieves enter the customs, and the grain, grass, and utensils in the customs are all obtained by them, so they can hold on, but when the arrows and ash bottles are finally exhausted, then it will be effortless to take the customs again." Although the thieves don't know how to make equipment, they only have what is left, and it costs me a lot of athletes' lives, how can I bear this?" Cao Yu sighed deeply, although he also understood the truth that he would succeed in ten thousand bones, but he still couldn't bear to supervise the battle under the pass, and he really participated in the battle

Not much.

Guo Yi also said, "Ci is not in charge of ping-pong, in order to merge with the governor for a long time, the general should not look forward and backward, and do not take Hu Lu out of the customs, if the Shu army comes again, the enemy will be attacked on the back and the state!"

"Right now, the snow is heavy in Changsheng Mountain, and you can't go out of Ping-Pong, so you have to think a lot of good things and wait for ......"

"Report!" Before Cao Yu finished speaking, suddenly there was an urgent sound outside.

"What?" Cao Yu frowned again, there was still a whistle horse rushing in at this time, I'm afraid it's not good news.

"Report to the general, the Shu army attacked Pingtao City several times ago, and the five thousand defenders were wiped out!"

"What?" Cao Yu got up suddenly, his eyes were almost angry, but he didn't expect that after he came to Bingzhou, he was still frustrated again and again, and slapped his palm on the desk fiercely, and said coldly, "Pingtao City is so important, a certain life is destined to send Ping Pong reinforcements, and it can cause such a catastrophe, it must be an improper use of people!"

Wang Chang also looked solemn, "Pingtao City was lost, and it lost contact with Hedong, and when it was quickly recaptured, the general should also order someone to write a letter to Hedong, telling him to be careful, otherwise it will endanger the Jingshi, and the world will vibrate."

"Humph!" Cao Yu's face turned pale, and he snorted heavily, "Pass on my general, order the track to go out immediately, if you don't recapture Pingtao City within half a month, come and see you!" 000 Literature

"Yes!" Seeing Cao Yuzhen, the herald didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly withdrew from the Shuai Mansion.

"Guo Senjun, immediately write a letter to Hedong, and ask Zhao Yan to be in Fenshui - with careful defense," Cao Yu walked back and forth in the room anxiously, thinking about what to do, and paused-down, "I should personally write a book, ask the imperial court to increase the number of Ping Hedong, and after recapturing Yanmen Pass, we will attack the Shu army in Hexi!"

Hearing the news of the loss of Pingtao City, Shangdang Taishou Qiu Jian was surprised, and hurriedly reported to Jinyang for help. As the Taishou of the Shangdang, he naturally knows the important surname here, - once the Shu army is stable, not only will it endanger the annexation of the state, but even Hanoi will be affected, a few days ago I heard that Jinyang sent Jing Ping to reinforce, and a few days later the people who fled in the city brought the news, and all the defenders competed for the overall situation

No, not even a single person who reported the news, it's really unbelievable. Although the snow was heavy and the road was difficult, Qiu Jian did not dare to slack off, and divided the table tennis horse into three parts, and the two roads took over the opening of the road to guide.

384 Thus defend the city

When those people arrived at the city, the weather was just clear, but the scene in front of them made them completely stunned.

It turned out that the slightly dilapidated city suddenly disappeared, and in front of those people's eyes was an ice wall close to more than ten zhang, which stood along the east wall of Pingtao City, connecting the two high mountains, and completely froze the entire city.

"This ...... How's that going to be?" Qiu Jian was stunned and looked up at this cut in front of him, speechless, he couldn't imagine that there was anyone who could build a city with such a Chet method, on the smooth ice, it was impossible to climb the city and attack it.

"I don't want this person to be so decisive!" Chen Qian also frowned, such a thick ice wall, it is impossible to melt in winter, do you have to wait until the beginning of spring to fight?

"If you delay, wait for the Shu army reinforcements to arrive, and the big thing will be over!" Qiu Jian was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and the catapults he brought with him were useless.

"How much grain and grass is left in the city?" Chen Qian looked around, this heavy snow is really not small, "Presumably, the Shu army reinforcements will not be able to come, if they run out of food and grass, they will retreat."

"Alas, it's not a secret, before the general came, his subordinates had been ordered to send three months of grain and grass to the reinforcements, who wanted to ......" - thinking of the dozen or so carts of grain and grass sent half a month ago, he regretted it, but at that time, the military order was in his body, and he had to send it.

"It's a mess!" Chen Qian sighed, there was plenty of grain and grass in the city, and it formed an ice wall, and it seemed that he was determined to defend it.

Qiu Jian observed for a long time, the Shu army had already received news from the city, and the archers were ready to go, and the general looked down from the mouth of the ice cave dug up, and his indifferent eyes seemed to be disdainful of those people.

"It's better to gather firewood and grass first, light a fire from under the city wall, wait for its bottom to melt, and the ice wall will collapse naturally, and then try to attack the city!" In the middle of his anger, Chen Qian came up with a plan.

"That's a brilliant plan!" When Qiu Jian heard this, he immediately ordered the soldiers to set up camp on the spot, sent the table tennis horses to the mountains to collect firewood, grass and trees, and even sent back the Ping Pong horses to the city to get the things to light the fire.

On the city wall, Li Yu saw that the Wei army was really as expected, and wanted to set fire to melt the ice wall under the city, so he hurriedly went to report the situation to Deng Ai.

Deng Ai was sitting at his desk drawing a map of Pingtao City, and when he heard the report, he was unmoved, and only told him and Shamoke to defend carefully, as long as the Wei army did not use the catapult to hit the ice wall, he would ignore it.

The five thousand Wei troops in the city have been surrendered, Deng Ai personally selected three thousand horsemen, let the generals Su and Dong Bi continue to train, these two people also have some ability, the previous poor defense of the city, because of the complaining belly, not at all, not those people are incompetent.

The two of them saw Deng Ai hand the table tennis horse back again, and secretly rejoiced, but since they had trained with Deng Ai for three days, they were completely subdued by him, and followed Deng Ai with all their hearts.

And seeing the riding table tennis equipment configured by Deng Ai behind the 100-meter pro-table tennis made those people's eyes hot, Deng Ai also assured those people that as long as they sincerely serve and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, those people can also have these things, and they will also give those people the opportunity to bring table tennis alone in the future.
