Back in the city, Li Mi was basically under house arrest.

All draconian laws shall be abolished.

Several large Han families in the city who secretly supported him were warned by Yang Zheng.

The city of Caohan returned to the old system, and the Han Yi had their own part, and business continued as before.

With comparison, Yang Zheng's status in the hearts of Qiang Han has become higher and higher.

Often, the leaders of the Qiang tribe took the initiative to send cattle and horses to Yang Zheng, and Yang Zheng returned with equivalent grain.

Yang Zheng's reputation gradually spread in the Qiang land.

There are more and more people in the Hanyi.

As Yang Zheng thought, the gathering of people will naturally form economic benefits.

There are many shops in the ruined city.

The ironclad shops and leathersmith shops that Yang Zheng had been thinking about suddenly sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

The most lively is the horse market, and the only thing that the Qiang people can do is the healthy horse.

Although it is not as good as the Liangzhou horse, it is definitely enough for ordinary soldiers to ride.

The money from leasing shops and land is also a lot of income.

After everything returned to normal, the withering of Di Dao also arrived.

The scouts along the Qinling Mountains returned, and the Shu army would move.

Xiahou Ba transferred Yang Zheng's 400 cavalry back to Didao, wanting to go south to defend Lintao.

Yang Zheng asked Zhang Te to guard the city, and told Zhao Aqi and Gongsun Fu to stare at Li Mi to death and not let him go out of the city.

After entering the summer, the Shu army moved again and again.

In the frontier places such as the Slope Valley, Sanguan, Xiabian, and Qishan Fort, there are frequent scouts of the Shu army.

General Wang Ping led 20,000 Hanyi people out of Dingjun Mountain, entered and discerned, and peeked at Sanguan and Chencang.

Jiang Wei led the elite of the 8,000 Tiger Infantry Army into Luoyang, with the intention of enterprising Qishan Fort.

Guo Huai led 12,000 Yongliang troops to defend Shangqi and strengthen the troops in Qishan Fort and Lucheng.

However, the Wei realm is close to the Qinling Mountains, and there are too many places to defend, from Weinan to Longxi, it is necessary to divide troops everywhere.

And the Shu army only needs to retract Yangping Pass and block Xingshi Mountain, and Hanzhong will be foolproof.

At that time, Wei Yan relied on the strategy of dividing troops to resist the enemy in the Qinling Mountains, so that Hanzhong was as stable as Mount Tai.

Guo Huaitun's soldiers are on the ground, which means taking into account Chencang, Tianshui, Nan'an, and Longxi.

Originally, I thought that only Jiang Wei had the Northern Expedition, but now that Wang Ping is also here, the pressure on the Wei army has increased.

After the Battle of Xingshi, Wang Pingwei shook Yongliang and had more troops, which brought a greater threat to the Wei army than Jiang Wei.

Guo Huai transferred the Wei army to Anding, Jincheng and other places to the south and galloped to the front line of Qishan.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ping suddenly launched, and 20,000 horses crossed the mountains and mountains to rush to disperse the pass.

Behind the loose customs is Chen Cang.

It is an important place connecting Longyou and Guanzhong.

In that year, Zhuge Wuhou chose this place for the second Northern Expedition.

Wang Ping's offensive was extremely fast, and in three days, the troops went out of the Qinling Mountains, stormed the pass, and broke through in response, directly threatening Chen Cang.

Everyone was persuading Guo Huai to move to Chencang, but Guo Huai was on the ground and did not move.

On the opposite side of Shangtai is the wooden doorway, and the wooden doorway communicates with Lucheng and Qishan Fort.

Everyone believed that the main force of the Shu army was Wang Ping, only Guo Huai firmly believed that the real opponent was Jiang Wei, and constantly did not support Chen Cang, and once again increased troops to Qishan Fort.

However, Jiang Wei is Jiang Wei after all, neither attacking Qishan Fort, nor supporting Wang Ping, in late June, the eight thousand Shu Tiger Infantry suddenly bypassed Qishan Fort, crossed the Koji Mountain, and the troops went out of Niutou Mountain, and ran into the territory of Longxi.

Yang Zheng looked at the Shu army on the other side of the river, the camp was forested, the flags were waving, and the ranger scouts were coming and going like the wind.

In the scorching sun of early summer, the Shu army still focused on armor, and every move was orderly.

After observing for a long time, Yang Zheng only felt a murderous aura rushing towards his face.

It's like a fierce tiger lying on the water.

The green hills and wilderness on both sides of the strait are contaminated with its murderous atmosphere.

This kind of weather cannot be compared with even the most elite military guard battalion.

The Hubu Army is an elite trained by Zhuge Wuhou himself, and it is a heavily armed foot soldier.

It has been seen in the Northern Expedition many times.

He used 5,000 people to resist the onslaught of Sima Yi's tens of thousands of cavalry in Wuzhangyuan, so Sima Yi formed a formation to defend himself.

On the other hand, the Wei army in the city was faintly afraid.

The consequences of Luogu's defeat deeply affected the morale of the army.

And Jiang Wei's series of feints successfully dispersed the Wei army's forces.

As a result, on the local battlefield in Longxi, the Shu army had an advantage in strength.

Xiahou Ba could only stick to Lintao and not fight with the Shu army.

But Jiang Wei shook a shot, left a thousand troops to defend, traced the water, and directly attacked Di Dao.

"Di Dao is the seat of Longxi County, 10,000 acres of tuntian on both sides of Taoshui, and the villages are connected, which is the essence of Longxi, and it must be saved." Xiahouba seems to have made up his mind.

He Hui persuaded: "Jiang Wei used troops to inherit Kong Ming's cunning, and the general is going here, fearing that he will ambush his soldiers." ”

Yang Zheng also persuaded: "Jiang Wei's soldiers are less than 10,000, Di Dao City is high and thick, there are still 2,000 people to defend, nearly 10,000 young and strong, Jiang Wei is difficult to overcome, even if it is overcome, we will hold Lintao, and the Shu army will have no return!" If the armies of Helong attack it, Jiang Wei will be broken. ”

With a Di Dao City, in exchange for Jiang Wei and the Eight Thousand Tiger Infantry Army, this deal is not a loss.

And Jiang Wei may not be able to capture Di Dao.

Xiahou Ba hesitated.

Yang Zheng knew what he was hesitating about, if he let the Shu army enter the siege of Didao City, it would be a failure in itself.

A dilapidated Longxi can also discredit Xiahouba.

Of course, Xiahou Ba understands all the truths, but his status is different, and the things he considers are also different.

Yang Zheng persuaded again, "Guo Huaitun's troops are in Tai, there is already the intention of protecting Longxi, Di Dao is in danger, it will inevitably come to the rescue, and the top priority of our army is to stick to Lintao and respond to all changes with no change." ”

If you go out of the city, you will lose at least half, and if you hold Lintao, you will win at least half.

Other generals also came to admonish.

In fact, many people have long been frightened by the momentum of the Shu army, and it is in line with their hearts to stick to the help.

The expression on Xiahou Ba's face changed several times, and finally made up his mind, "Stick to it and wait for help." ”

Yang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to ask: "The subordinates are all cavalry, and it is useless to stay in the city, it is better to go out of the city and stay behind the Shu army, which can be used to exhaust the enemy, and you can further spy on the movements of the Shu army." ”

Xiahou Ba thought so, "Xingyun is loyal and brave, if you retreat from the enemy this time, you will definitely take credit." ”

Yang Zheng was overjoyed in his heart, but when he saw the slightly jealous and resentful eyes of the other generals, he was secretly vigilant, which was also the reason why he chose to go out of the city.

In Lintao City, I always feel a little uncomfortable.

"What do you have to do with your subordinates? The general stuck to Lintao and blocked Jiang Wei's back road was a great achievement. ”

Xiahou Ba smiled happily, and the faces of the other generals also eased a lot.

Yang Zheng took the four hundred military guards out of the city.

The Shu army is all foot soldiers, and it is impossible for a thousand foot troops to block Lintao City.

Only a dozen scouts hung behind him.

Yang Zheng did not catch up with the pace of the Shu army at the first time, but made a detour to the west and sent scattered cavalry to investigate the movements of the Shu army, so as not to fall into an ambush.

Taoshui is a tributary of the Yellow River, second only to Weishui, and nourishes both banks of Longxi.

Between the green mountains and green waters, I saw the Shu army slowly advancing northward.

Scouts were scattered all around, and every time they passed, there would be an army guarding the high and dangerous places.

Yang Zheng didn't dare to get too close, and there was also a thousand-strong cavalry in the Hubu Army.

But the other party cherishes the cavalry very much, and will not easily go out.

When encountering villages and towns, the Shu army did not hesitate to grab food.

The sound of the people's wailing resounded throughout the wilderness.

The Shu army shouted and scolded behind his back, but after all, he guarded the last trace of the bottom line and did not slaughter at will.

It is not easy to do this in this era.
