Wuxing County is located between the mountains in the western part of Hanzhong, and its city guards the main road between east and west. This is the place where the Di people gathered, and now it is under the rule of the Southern Liang.

Before the tenth day, Da Xiwu was ordered to gather all the troops in Chencang, and then went south out of Sanguan all the way to the south, and 10,000 horses traveled over the mountains and mountains for many days, and finally arrived at the front of the pass.

After arriving at this place, Da Xiwu built siege equipment while arranging for the army commander Shi Wang Yue and general Yang Shao to persuade the defenders in the city to surrender.

The defenders of Wuxing City have many hatreds against the Chi Di clan, and they are accustomed to wandering between the northern and southern regimes to survive and profit, and now the Daxi military soldiers are in the city, and they are originally very confident to persuade the generals who defend the city to take Wuxing City without blood.

However, Wang Yue and others shouted several times in the city, including the city, and the response of the defenders in the city was not very positive. After an in-depth investigation, it turned out that most of the Qiu Chi Di ethnic group here were recruited by the Liangzhou Prefecture to defend in Nanzheng. Because they were worried about the safety of the clansmen who went to Nanzheng, the defenders did not dare to open the door and surrender, and the situation was stalemate for a while.

"The Di people were originally a rabble that was lighter than going, and they were also called into Hanzhong to coordinate the defense, which shows that the Liang people knew that our country was going to use troops in Hanzhong on a large scale. Hanzhong is heavily defended, and the opportunity is lost, and the road ahead is even more difficult! ”

When the public learned the news, they suddenly became not very optimistic.

As the commander of the army, Da Xiwu's mentality will naturally not be easily shaken, and after hearing this, he said in a deep voice: "Conquering the city, how can you hope that the enemy will give it up?" Since a certain group has been ordered to conquer here, there is no advance or retreat, and the people of He Guanliang are defenseless! Wherever the king goes, he conquers everything, and he starts from this city. Today's armies are fed and fed, and the siege will begin tomorrow morning! ”

Since there was no hope of persuasion, Da Xiwu ordered to launch an attack as soon as possible, so as not to stop here for a long time and waste morale.

After a night's rest, the next morning, all the people of the Western Wei Dynasty gathered in front of the pass, accompanied by the vigorous and fierce drum order, launched a fierce attack on the Wuxing pass.

Although the defenders in the city also struggled to resist, but the combat effectiveness of these soldiers was not as good as the main elite of the Western Wei Dynasty after all, and they were gradually exhausted after half a day of fighting.

In the evening, the armies collected their troops, and Da Xiwu discussed with the generals the gains and losses of the next attack, saying that the defenders of the city had been clumsy in support, and they were full of confidence in capturing Wuxing City in the next few days.

Of course, the premise is that there is no major change in the defense of Wuxing as it is now, but if Nanzheng increases its troops here, then the situation is not easy to say.

"Wuxing is located in Di Township, and the gains and losses are still far from Nanzheng, and the Liang people may not be willing to come to the aid of heavy troops. What's more, the Xihe Gong advocated the use of troops, and he must have also sent troops to the north, the Hanchuan was shaken, and the enemy would be suspicious, in order to defend his heart, the Liang people did not dare to separate the heavy troops outside. Our army only needs to follow the steps and use heavy troops, and it is not difficult to reach Hanzhong. ”

Wang Yue has a good understanding of the situation in Shannan, and the reason why Daxingtai sent him with the army is to add a wise man to the group of martial artists.

After hearing this, the generals also nodded in agreement, agreeing with Wang Yue's judgment, but Shi Yuwenqiu, the assassin of Southern Qinzhou who led the army from Longyou, frowned and said: "The former Taifu plan is that the two armies will fight in Hanzhong and attack Nanzheng, and now the people and horses of our road are stranded on the way and advancing slowly, if they fail to cooperate with the Eastern Army, they will cause the lone army of Xihe Gong to enter directly, and then the male troops inside and outside Nanzheng City will be stationed, and the people and horses of Jingzhou will be in danger!" ”

As soon as Yuwen Qiu's words were finished, the general Helianda on the side said again: "Since Xihe Gong first advocated the use of troops in Hanzhong, he must have a firm plan, and the strategy in his heart must be much better than our and other people. Even if there is a failure in a short period of time, it will certainly not lose the strategy of advancing and retreating. Today, even if I take the risk and conquer Dingwu Xingcheng, the road ahead is not unimpeded, and there are still Yangping passes. Attack all the way, and when you arrive in Hanzhong, you will become a tired teacher, and if the thief enters again, how should you deal with it? ”

The others also nodded again and again after hearing this, in fact, since they learned that the Liang people were more defensive in Hanzhong, they realized that this attack on Hanzhong was going to be in vain. If Hanzhong is so easy to recover, why hasn't the Taiwan government tried it for more than ten years?

They seem to have a lot of people along the way, but if they want to attack all the way and divide their troops to garrison, their troops are also a little reluctant. Not to mention that even if you approach to the city of Nanzheng, you have to beware of reinforcements from Shuzhong.

The subtext of the so-called heavy use of troops is to wait and see the success or failure on the way, and use the men and horses commanded by Li Tai to throw stones and ask for directions, if the offensive of Jingzhou goes smoothly and attracts the main force of the Liang army in Hanzhong, it is naturally good news for them. But if the battle in Jingzhou is not smooth, then even if they break through to Hanzhong, I am afraid that they will not have much fighter to grasp, and most of them will have to retreat and return.

Yuwen Qiu is Dugu Xin's henchman and old general, and he is eager to move east to deal with Li Tai, the son-in-law of the Dugu family, but the others have no such thoughts, and the intention to enter the army is not very strong.

As the chief general, after listening to the opinions of the generals, Da Xiwu finally chose to listen to the opinions of the majority, and continue to maintain the intensity of today's attack on Wuxing City tomorrow.

Early the next morning, when the officers and men of the battalion had finished their breakfast and were about to continue the attack, they found that the defenders and flags at the head of the city had increased significantly, and it seemed that reinforcements had arrived.

After realizing this, Da Xiwu and the generals in the army were greatly surprised, so they postponed the attack, intending to find out the situation in the city before making a plan. However, before they could send an envoy to submit the letter, Wuxing City first shouted and cursed.

"The Wei people have no faith! The dismissal of the disciples in Nanzheng City is clearly stated that the troops can be safed when they return to the place, and they will attack again after returning to their hometown......"

Hearing the shouting and scolding of the defenders at the head of the city, Da Xiwu and all the generals around him were a little inexplicable, looking at each other, when did they have this agreement with these soldiers in Nanzheng City?

"Could it be that Li Boshan, he, he has already conquered Nanzheng City?"

Although it felt a little unbelievable, Da Xiwu still expected Ai Ai to make such a guess.

When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but shake their heads and wave their hands, and they didn't know if they were expressing this impossibility, or if they didn't know it.

Faced with such an unbelievable situation, Da Xiwu first ordered the troops to temporarily retreat to the camp, and then used Wang Yue as an envoy to communicate with the city, so they got a fact that surprised them: Nanzheng City had indeed been conquered by the Wei army, and Li Boshan, the governor of Jingzhou, was sitting in the city to dismiss the people gathered inside and outside the city.

A few days later, Da Xiwu's group finally arrived at the city of Nanzheng in Hanzhong, and after obeying Li Tai's arrangement, he sent men and horses to garrison Baimashu and other fortresses, and finally arrived in Nanzheng with more than 6,000 people.

But this is still more than twice as many as the 3,000 men and horses stationed in the city, when Li Tai welcomed Da Xiwu into the city and led him to inspect the city's defense for a week, Da Xiwu couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, and couldn't help but ask: "Jingzhou has tens of thousands of men and horses, why is Xihe Gong so light and dangerous?" When will the passers-by arrive? ”

Before he had time to sigh at Li Tai's success in the sneak attack on Nanzheng, when he saw that the city defense was so weak, he immediately began to worry about a new problem, with more than 13,000 people on their two roads, it was really not enough to control the huge Hanzhong.

Li Tai shook his head after hearing this, and said helplessly: "The situation in Jingzhou is not optimistic enough now, and Liu Zhongli of Nanliang was released by Hou Jing and returned to the army to settle the land, which made the situation in Handong unstable. After the fall of Yingchuan, the eastern thief Murong Shaozong's army was in Henan, and he didn't know where to go, so he also had to guard against it.

If it weren't for the fact that the people in the town couldn't move lightly, why would I risk my life and take a small lead to pick up the big city? Fortunately, Gao Yang Gong arrived in time, and the matter can be temporarily paid to Yu Gong, and I can rest assured that the master will pay a return visit. ”

"W-What? Xihe Gong is going to return to Jingzhou? But、But I, I'm suddenly in this situation, and I haven't reviewed the details, I'm afraid it's hard to take care of it! ”

When Da Xiwu heard that Li Tai was about to leave, he immediately glared and exclaimed.

Originally, I wanted to say that it was difficult to suppress the entire territory of Hanzhong with his tens of thousands of men, but thinking that Li Tai only led 3,000 men and horses, and most of them were temporary rebellions, he had already successfully taken Nanzheng City, Da Xiwu did not want to show his cowardice, and could only say that he was not familiar with the situation in Hanzhong.

"I have never been in Hanzhong before, but I was ordered to do my best. What's more, there is also Liang Guoyi, Feng Hou Xiao Xun in this city, who can assist Gaoyang Gongzhen Fuzhou. ”

If there is a choice, Li Tai certainly does not want to give up the Hanzhong that he has just laid, but now there is no doubt that Jingzhou needs him to preside over it even more.

Even if he wanted to keep Li Qianzhe here, it was obviously impossible for the Taiwan government to hand over Hanzhong to such a new general, so it was better to simply give in and only consolidate the situation east of Ankang.

As for what Da Xiwu should do next, it is not something that Li Tai needs to worry about. After welcoming Da Xiwu into the city, he ordered the Li brothers to withdraw from Nanzheng City happily, sorted out and packed the personnel and materials that had been allocated before, and prepared to leave for the east.

The money, cultural relics, books, etc., seized in Nanzheng City, Li Tai naturally had to pack them and take them away. As for the grain, he was trapped in the transportation capacity, and only took tens of thousands of stones, and he collected more than 10,000 middle-aged men and women in the city and returned to the north with them to resettle. Liu Fan, an important subordinate official of the former Liangzhou Prefecture, was brought by him to appease the men and women who managed these migrations.

As for the other personnel in the city, including the original assassin Shi Xiao Xun, Li Tai left it to Da Xiwu. By the way, Yu Wenqiu and his subordinates were asked to come over from Da Xiwu's subordinates and follow him to Ankang.

When he arrived in Ankang, it coincided with the fact that Quan Zhongzun, who was also sent by the Taiwan government to cooperate, led his troops south out of the Meridian Road and Bington Shangjin, so Li Tai left Quan Zhongzun here to sit in Ankang, Weixing and other counties together with Yu Wenqiu and Li Xian, while he himself led Li Qianzhe to continue to return eastward.
