Regarding Guo Huai's proposal, Cao Aya expressed her approval.

Indeed, now is the best time to attack Longxi.

Originally, I thought of taking advantage of Jiang Wei to attack Wuwei and then lead the army to attack Wudu and Longxi, but now it seems that the situation is developing too fast, and there is no need to wait for Jiang Wei to attack Wuwei, and now is the best time to attack Longxi.

So Cao Aya said to Guo Huai: "Everything is up to General Guo, in order not to affect General Guo's front-line command, this palace will not go to Longxi with General Guo this time, the two generals under the command of this palace, Wen Yuan has the courage of ten thousand people, and Xiahou Ba is also good at the battle array, but they are all handed over to General Guo's command." ”

Guo Huai knew that this was Cao Aya's compensation for himself after driving away his most important think tank, Cao Zhi, firstly, not to participate in the siege command, and secondly, to send her cronies to himself, Cao Aya, who is a princess, can do this step, it is indeed very difficult.

Guo Huai could only agree.

Three days later, Guo Huai received a reply from Deng Ai, saying that since Wudu had been recovered, Nan'an had no worries, Nan'an was closer to Longxi than Tianshui, and he would lead Nan'an's 30,000 Wei troops to take the lead and directly attack Longxi. Please ask Guo Huai to lead reinforcements as soon as possible.

Guo Huai didn't expect Deng Ai to act so decisively, although it did take time to let Deng Ai lead his troops to Tianshui to converge first, and then attack Longxi together, but the army gathered in one place, in fact, it was more secure, but Deng Ai did not obey his orders, and directly chose to attack.

It can be seen that this Deng Ai has his own ideas, more or less, and he doesn't respect his military order of the Yongzhou assassin very much. Guo Huai even doubted that Deng Ai had some channels and was directly ordered by Sima Yi?

After all, the 30,000 soldiers and horses under Deng Ai's command were given to Deng Ai by Sima Yi. Guo Huai thinks that he is a general with a big belly, and he doesn't care about Deng Ai, who is a little domineering, as long as he can defeat Longxi, everyone will be an official in Yongzhou, and he will still be harmonious.

It's just a pity that Cao Zhi, it's a pity that such a talent is going to be buried. But Guo Huai had no way to keep Cao Zhi, so he had to repair a letter and send it to Cao Zhi, telling Cao Aya about his request to return to Luoyang, and encouraging Cao Zhi not to let go when he returned to Luoyang, and still needed to temper himself.

After the letter was sent, Guo Huai did not hesitate to leave 5,000 soldiers and horses for Cao Aya, and he took Wen Yuan and Xiahou Ba, ordered 25,000 troops, and marched directly to Longxi City.

On the other hand, Cao Zhi soon received a letter, at this moment in the city of Wudu, he commanded 16,000 soldiers and horses, of which 10,000 were the surrendered Shu army, and 6,000 soldiers and horses were the Di army of King Qiangrui.

After receiving Guo Huai's letter, Cao Zhi was filled with grief and indignation, he had made great contributions to the Great Wei, but he was suspected by Cao Aya to such an extent, everything he had done before was not recognized, but even his personal freedom had to be restricted, which almost touched Cao Zhi's bottom line.

If he returns to Luoyang again and is placed under house arrest, all his previous efforts will be in vain, so what should he do? Flee again, flee to Yangzhou? But wouldn't that still be able to escape the fate that a little fame would be suppressed.

Or occupy the mountain with Wang Qiangrui and stand on his own feet, and be happy? But he is a member of the Cao family, and he has the blood of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, and his proud heart does not allow him to do so.

Cao Zhi was full of grief and indignation in his heart, feeling that the identity of the clan brought him both glory and restraint, he had an eagle in his chest, and he was never willing to just be a rich man and die of old age in Luoyang City.

He was in great pain, if he didn't leave Wudu City at this moment, it would be like a rebellion, Guo Huai had already sent a new Wudu Taishou to Wudu, and he couldn't stay here for a long time.

"Let's go back to Luoyang, even if you are helpless, you can only do this!" Cao Zhi sighed helplessly. "Guo Tingshi advised me that after returning to Luoyang, I should not be willing to degenerate and let myself go, but what can I do?"

Cao Zhi asked himself this question repeatedly, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and a point came to his mind.

Wuwei general Cao Shuang, is his cousin, with whom he has a very good relationship, and has won the trust of Emperor Cao Rong, if he proposes to join the Wuwei army, with his great achievements in Yongzhou, Cao Shuang will definitely agree.

Not only will he agree, but Cao Shuang will reuse himself, if Cao Shuang leads the troops to fight in the future, won't he have the opportunity to make contributions to the Great Wei again?

Thinking of this, Cao Zhi's heart rekindled a raging fire, and he began to pack his bags, planning to return to Luoyang and regain his strength.

On the side of Longxi City, although there are 2,000 Baier troops in the city, there are nearly 30,000 Qiang cavalry.

However, when Deng Ai arrived with 30,000 elite Wei troops, Fu Yi chose to defend the city instead of going out of the city to face the battle.

The reason is very simple, Deng Ai's 30,000 Wei army's equipment level is significantly higher than that of the Han army, almost everyone has a pair of iron helmets and iron armor, although the armor stomach is not as good as the Qilin army, with super defense, but it also basically covers all the vital points in front of him, and it is an elite division at a glance.

Whether it is the level of equipment or the degree of training, it far exceeds the Qiang cavalry in Longxi City, and the leaders of each department are unwilling to go out of the city to fight with the Wei army, but are willing to defend the city.

For many of them have seen the power of the White Ear Army to defend the city, this power will disappear when placed in the field outside the city, but in the defense of the city, it can make the city impregnable.

Fu Yan didn't want to force this group of Qiang people out of the city for a decisive battle, after all, he was not sure that he could defeat the Wei army in the field.

But Deng Ai's army saw that the defenders in the city were delayed in fighting, so they pushed the rushing cart and the ladder to attack the city directly.

For a while, the shouting of killing shook the sky, Fu He did not expect that Deng Ai would scatter and attack the city, so that his Bai'er army's tactics of blocking the city gate would lose its effect, so he had to send various armies to climb the city head and fight to the death with the Wei army.

The two armies fought for a day and a night, and under the desperate defense of the Baier army, Deng Ai failed to take Longxi City, so he had to withdraw his troops.

Seeing the Wei army retreating like a tide, the leaders of the Qiang tribe in the city felt that the Wei army seemed to be strong, but in fact it was nothing more than that, so they led their troops out of the city to pursue.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he rushed through the line of the Wei army's rout, he found that there was a large army waiting for him behind the rout.

Seeing Deng Ai's plan, the leader of the Qiang people quickly turned his horse's head and wanted to retreat to Longxi City, but Deng Ai ambushed a cavalry on the left and right sides, and at this moment the Wei army on three sides was already eyeing the Qiang cavalry out of the city.

Deng Ai waved the flag, the Wei army immediately launched a counter-charge, under the attack from three sides, the Qiang cavalry who went out of the city to pursue suddenly fell into chaos, and was surrounded and killed by Deng Ai on the spot More than 2,000 people.

The rest of the Qiang cavalry hurriedly fled back to the city of Longxi, never daring to go out of the city to attack the enemy.

So Deng Ai continued to besiege Longxi, Qiang cavalry is good at riding and shooting, but is really not good at foot combat to defend the city, and the guard general Fu Tong is very worried that he will not be able to defend Longxi.

The Wei army is so brave, if Jiang Wei doesn't come to the rescue, Longxi City may not last for three days.

But soon, something that made Fu Yan even more desperate appeared.

He found that the reinforcements of the Wei army had arrived, and it could be seen from the "Guo" banner of the reinforcements that it was Guo Huai, the Liangzhou assassin of Cao Wei, who led the reinforcements to Longxi.

In addition to the "Guo" character flag, there are also "Xiahou" banners and "Wen" character flags.

Fu Yan saw the terrifying white-robed female military general again, riding a horse in front of the Wei army and looking at Longxi City.

A burst of despair surged in Fu Yan's heart: "It seems that in one day at most, I will sacrifice my life for the country in this Longxi City!" ”
