It is said that when Wuyishan and Ye Liangchen broke through the Chinese army's defense line in the cavalry, they picked up the frightened county guard Zhang Bai, and fled back to Wuwei City in a panic under the escort of several county guards.

Zhang Bai saw the familiar scene in front of him, and finally came back to his senses, "Quick, organize men and horses, defend the enemy, take the opportunity to attack the city, let the young and strong men go to the city, and the city will be under martial law." ”

Zhang Bai's soldiers were lost, and now the city is the most empty time, and he doesn't dare to think about whether the people can defend the city or not.

"My lord, the common people have not been trained, and at most they can be a little bigger, I am willing to pull all the Fubo Guan Guan Zhuang to the head of the city to help defend the city. ”

"Observe the righteousness of the Lord. ”

Wu Yishan saw that the two of them were acting coyly together, as if the crisis was over, and he couldn't help but take some eye medicine, "My lord, although my family is willing to give full support, but the chaos is in full swing, if we attack the city regardless of casualties, it is still unknown how long we can hold it, and please ask for reinforcements as soon as possible, so that nothing goes wrong." ”

"Yes, yes, you reminded me in a timely manner, I will take a letter of resignation, stamp the official certificate, report to the governor, and ask Lord Hao to rescue the lost as soon as possible. ”

When Hao Zhao received Wuwei's urgent paperwork, it was already the early morning of the third day after Zhang Bai's defeat, and the old ministers of the three dynasties had never been surprised, and it was inevitable that they would panic at this time.

Who would have thought that right under his nose, in the place where he had just inspected and pacified, could stir up such a big mess? Moreover, listening to the eager tone of Zhang Bai's letter, the matter was at stake, and he had to quell the rebellion before the situation spread and eroded.

When the bandits were suppressed in front, Zhang Bai also seconded some county soldiers from the surrounding Jincheng and Tianshui, and the county guards in various places supported Zhang Bai more or less because of Zhang Wenyuan's former prestige.

After a mobilization, more than 6,000 people were gathered, day and night, galloping to Wuwei, Hao Bodao entrusted the military and political power of Guzang to Ma Jun, who was ordered to come to do business, and asked him to temporarily lead the military and political affairs when he went on his expedition.

Wuwei City has experienced the initial panic, but now it is calm, Zhang Bai and the others are also confused, how can they not understand, why don't the chaotic army come to attack the city?

There are rebellious sieges of the city, but they just don't see the attack, which isolates the traffic under the city, and the momentum is agitated, Zhang Bai estimates that the reinforcements are coming, and he is relieved.

The current commander of the rebel army is Lao Wei, who killed Zhang Zhi, and Zhang Zhi's head has long been thrown after being used to scare the enemy army. At this time, Lao Wei looked at the noisy group of bandits, and was very puzzled, why did he and others want to defeat the officers and soldiers under the banner of Qilian Village? After accepting and guarding the officers and soldiers, Lao Luo, who led people to intercept and kill the three owners of Qiyun Village, held his head on the periphery and surrendered the villagers, and then threw them to himself.

After changing the owner, the minions in the outer city of the city have eaten a full meal for a few days, and from time to time there are rewards of wine and meat, and the land to be done is just to besiege the city, and slowly feel that the new owner of the village is also good, and he may be more promising.

Before Hao Zhao brought the troops to the city, he sent people into the city late at night, agreed that the inside and the outside should be combined, and the rebellious soldiers were defeated in one go, and then it was like mowing grass, and there was still no shortage of cavalry in the northwest.

The sky was fine, and the situation was as expected, and without waiting for the soldiers and horses in the city to rush out, Hao Zhao's army broke up the bandit formation in a wave, and from a distance, it was like a piece of iron felt hitting the tofu, and the officers and soldiers who charged had a feeling that their remaining strength was not exhausted.

At this time, the city gate slowly opened, and one by one Han flags were erected at the head of the city, and the people in front shouted, "The vanguard of the Han Zhengxi General's Mansion has taken the county seat, why didn't Hao Zhao surrender early?"

The long-experienced military job seeker Zhao didn't know where to plan, and decisively arranged the defense. Without waiting for the army to return to defense, smoke and dust rose from the rear and the right side, and the banners of the Han army were waving in the distance, and the county soldiers under his command were panicked for a while.

Being attacked from three sides, the opponent still waits for work, Hao Zhaojun is slightly stronger, but he also lacks the skills to return to the sky, and the army is defeated like a mountain, so he can only be coerced by the chaotic army, and he does not even return to the governance office, and flees in the direction of Chang'an. The army was in a hurry to march to Wuwei, at this time the people were sleepy and the morale was low, and some simply threw away the banner and knelt on the ground and waited for the Han army to bind.

Wuyishan didn't expect this plan to achieve such a good effect, and originally thought that he would have to contain it for a while, and then the ambush soldiers would be killed to defeat the incoming enemy.

After Hao Zhao's messenger took away Zhang Bai's reply, Zhang Bai, who had lost his use value, was chopped off with a knife, and Wuyishan led people to control Wuwei County late at night, and made up for it in the morning, not wanting the Wei army reinforcements to be defeated too quickly, and he didn't even see Hao Zhao.

Hao Zhao kept receiving bad news from the rear on the way back, Jincheng, Zhangye and other places were defrauded by the enemy to seize the city, Jiuquan County Cheng had some insight and saw through the plan to defraud the city, but the disparity in strength was huge, and the city was breached after holding out for half a day.

Hao Zhao was thinking about how to write the excerpt of the guilty plea, and on the other hand, he was thinking about how many troops he had to ask for to be transferred in order to re-pacify Liangzhou. Liangzhou border land, grain production is also small, can not raise too many military horses, how many times Liangzhou rebellion army in front of Chang'an City, finally defeated and killed, Emperor Ling's kingdom, Han Sui killed officials and rebelled, the recent Ma Chao, Han Sui according to Liangzhou for chaos, failed to achieve the climate.

Hao Zhao glanced at the pursuers behind him hatefully, these dozens of people have been chasing relentlessly, like maggots on tarsal bones, although the number of pursuers is small, but their morale is low, and they are really powerless to fight back.

Suddenly, this group of chasing soldiers turned around, Hao Zhao was puzzled, and his relatives shouted happily, "My lord, we are saved!

"Governor Xiahou led troops from Chang'an to rescue us. ”

Unlike the elated soldiers around him, Hao Zhao was like falling into an ice cellar, cold from head to soles of his feet.

"Where did you come from for reinforcements? Why did you carry the handsome banner of Xiahou and the horse, did the horse go out in person?"

The flag bearer at the front of the reinforcements was dragged by Hao Zhao and asked, "We set off from Chang'an two days ago, and the Dadu Governor Central Army is three miles behind. ”

"Quick, take me to your governor, I have something important to tell you. You, give me the horse!"

In this way, Xiahou Mao, the commander of the Wei clan's concubine who succeeded Sima Yi as the governor of the front, saw Hao Zhao galloping by himself on a horse, and his appearance was very different from the majesty and demeanor of the past in Beijing.

Hao Zhao had a good relationship with his parents in the Cao family and Xiahou family, so in order to show respect for the old ministers of the Three Dynasties, Xiahou Mao turned over and dismounted, grabbed Hao Zhao's reins, pulled the horse's head to himself, and helped Hao Zhao off the horse.

"Attached horse, why are you here?"

Without waiting for Xiahou Mao's greetings, Hao Zhao hurriedly spoke.

"Wuwei County Shou sent someone to send a letter asking for help, so I sent someone to lead the army to quell the chaos, and the next day I didn't want to send troops, I received a letter for help from Wuwei's relatives, saying that the boss, you have already led the troops to rescue Wuwei, and were killed by the ambush soldiers, and Liangzhou has become a racecourse for the rebellious soldiers. Therefore, I personally led the army, and it was imperative that the chaos be quelled in one fell swoop. ”

"My colt, we've all been tricked. It is true that my army was defeated, but we did not stop all the way, and only now did we reach the front of the horse, could the messenger still be able to predict whether the prophet would not succeed? This must be the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain and return to Chang'an as soon as possible, because someone wants to steal the city. ”

Xiahou Mao was still puzzled, "The Shu army instigated the rebellion in Liangzhou, we don't go to Liangzhou, but we want to go back to Chang'an, what is the reason?"

The governor of the front line was not Hao Zhao, and there was no army in hand, so Hao Zhao could only explain the reason to Xiahou Mao first.

"What is the purpose of the Shu army's meticulous mobilization in Liangzhou? Everyone knows that Liangzhou has little to do with the general trend in the world, but as long as Yizhou is connected with Liangzhou, it will be a great trouble for our Great Wei, and most of the Shu army in Yizhou can let go of such a good opportunity and sit back and watch the opportunity slip away from their eyes? If they were not plotting against Chang'an, how could they have designed to transfer you and the army out together? Don't they know that as soon as the army arrives, Liangzhou will not be able to hold it?"

Xiahou Mao heard Hao Zhao say seriously, and he also had a little suspicion in his heart, "Lord Bodao, there shouldn't be a big mess, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Kingdom, died of illness, and the dragons have no leader, besides, Guo Huai is guarding the Weibei camp, unless the enemy flies from the sky, Chang'an is foolproof." ”

Hao Zhao also felt that it was very reasonable, but for some reason, the uneasiness in his heart became deeper and deeper.

Wuyi Mountain has also encountered obstacles, Guzang City is like a nail separating Wuwei County and Zhangye County into two ends, although the city has been surrounded, but without pulling out this nail, it will not be able to go all out to Chang'an.
