Meng Da obviously didn't have much contact with Zhang Xi and didn't know much about Zhang Xi, so he was worried.

Meng Da should have also heard of Zhang Xi's "cautious" combat style, but Meng Da definitely couldn't imagine how far Zhang Xi could "relent" with his troops.

Zhang Xi has never been the kind of person who is blindly confident in his judgment once he has made a judgment, and even sometimes doubts whether his judgment is right or wrong.

In fact, on the third day after Meng Da and Ma Dai were ordered to leave, Zhang Xi felt that his judgment was not safe enough, so he ordered Zhang Yi to lead 5,000 troops to Beizhong City in the southwest of Wen County to fortify.

This place in Beizhong City is not a big city, and it was not even a city in the first place.

Beizhongcheng was a small stronghold established by Cao Wei on the north bank of the Yellow River in order to deal with the threat of the south bank of Mengjindu, and stationed troops here to monitor the movements of the Han army occupying the south bank of Mengjindu at that time.

And now, Zhang Xi has led his troops to occupy Mengjindu, and advanced the battle line to the northeast to Wenxian, so the place of Beizhongcheng is equivalent to being in the rear of Zhang Xi's flank.

Strictly speaking, Beizhong City is just a military stronghold that can accommodate thousands of people, and it is not a fortified city.

Sending people to this place to station and defend is actually an arrangement made by Zhang Xi worried about changes in the flanks.

The two flanks of Zhangxi are along the Yellow River in the southeast, and a little further beyond the Yellow River is the East County of Yanzhou.

In that place, now Sima Yi is desperately calling for reinforcements, and where are Wei Yan, Jiang Wei and others fighting, it is basically impossible for Wei reinforcements to arrive from that direction.

Therefore, what Zhang Xi is really not worried about is the southwest side, let Zhang Yi go to Beizhong City to garrison troops, just in case, the scale of 5,000 people can not only ensure that Zhang Yi will not be easily defeated by the enemy, but also allow Zhang Yi to have time to warn in time.

Zhang Xi's side was not as Meng Da expected, and he was not prepared at all.

And Qin Lang's side, Qin Lang led 20,000 soldiers from Hedong County, and there was no accident when he crossed the Wangwu Mountain Road, and he drilled from Hedong County to Hanoi County very smoothly.

The first thing Qin Lang did when he led his troops into Hanoi County was to seize Yi County and establish a foothold to enter Hanoi County.

Originally, Qin Lang thought that the Shu thieves could cross the river from Heyang and enter Hedong County along the official road with cavalry, and this Yi County along the official road should have been under the control of the Shu thieves long ago, and it would take some time to capture it.

But who would have thought that the head of this city still hangs Cao Wei's banner today.

Belch. The Hanoi clan is so loyal to the country?!

Well, whether it is really loyal to the country and sworn not to surrender, or the Shu thief has just entered Hanoi and has no kung fu to take care of Yi County. Yi County still hangs the banner of Cao Wei, which is a good thing for Qin Lang.

Since you are still hanging the banner of the Great Wei, then the Great Wei army is going to enter the city, and you Yi County Commander and the family members of Yi County can't stop it, right?!

In this way, Qin Lang occupied Yi County almost effortlessly.

And after occupying Yixian, Qin Lang's entourage joined the army, Pei Qian, stood up.

The reason why Qin Lang wanted to take Pei Qian to drill the mountain together also had his own considerations.

In the process of crossing the Wangwu Mountain Road, it was impossible for Qin Lang to carry too much grain and grass supplies, and it was impossible for Hedong Minfu to drill the mountain with the army.

In other words, in fact, after crossing the Wangwu Mountain Road, Qin Lang's 20,000 soldiers were in a state of lack of logistical food and grass supplies.

After occupying Yi County, if Qin Lang wants to continue to advance eastward, he must obtain enough grain and grass, and at the same time, he needs enough people to help Qin Lang transport this grain and grass, so that Qin Lang's army can fight in the front without worries.

Obviously, in order to do this, I am afraid that the banner of Dawei alone is not enough.

Hanoi is different from Hedong, although Hedong County was sacked by the Qianghu cavalry once, but in general, with Hanoi County and Bingzhou in front of them, and the geographical advantages of Wangwu Mountain and Taihang Mountain, they were not too directly threatened.

Therefore, the families of Hedong County are still relatively relaxed towards Da Wei, and they are still willing to continue to support Da Wei.

But Zhang Xike, who is now a thief in Hanoi County, is in Wen County, and he is really going to force them, if he chooses to join the thief directly, then Qin Lang can only directly numb his claws.

In this case, the banner of Great Wei was not very easy to use in Hanoi County, and therefore, Qin Lang brought Pei Qian.

Hedong Pei's family is a representative of the Hedong family.

Qin Lang can be regarded as the official representative of the Great Wei, and Pei Qian is the representative of the Hedong family.

Now in Hanoi, the official appeal is not easy to use, but the Hanoi family is still a part of the Hedong family, no matter which force Hanoi belongs to in the future, the family is still a family after all.

Pei Qian, as the head of the Pei family in Hedong, is also a famous person in Hedong, his prestige, and the entanglement of interests of the Hedong family he represents behind him, at this time, can be much more useful than Qin Lang, who represents the official of the Great Wei.

Pei Qian personally came forward and invited the heads of several small families in Yi County, as well as the person in charge of the Hanoi County family in Yi County, to personally mobilize them to mobilize their own families, tenants, and even hidden households to form a people's grain transportation team, open their own grain storage warehouses, and provide the military rations needed for Cao Wei's army.

As for Qin Lang, he only needs to be a tool man at this time, whatever Pei Qian says, he will nod and agree, and don't say a word about the rest.

Pei Qian is an old fox, and he came forward to call on the Hanoi family to support Cao Wei, on the one hand, he had to force Hedong County to be under Cao Wei's control.

On the other hand, even if Hanoi County can't hold it this time, it is not their Pei family who is unlucky, but the families of Hanoi County.

Therefore, Pei Qian is a strong fool, he dares to increase any conditions, and even proposes that once he wins after the war, he can cancel the various tuntian places set up in Hanoi County and give the ownerless land to the Hanoi family.

Anyway, the Hanoi families who really have brains should be able to understand the meaning of such generous conditions, and the price and risks to be paid will probably not be less.

Of course, the family that can't be heard shows that the people in this family have no vision at all, and they deserve to be cannon fodder.

But whether he lives or dies, it has nothing to do with him Pei Qian.

And Qin Lang's side is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Now that the situation is critical, Qin Lang let this Pei Qian promise in a mess, but. From beginning to end, Qin Lang only nodded, but he just didn't say a word to make these promises true.

If he keeps Hanoi County, then Qin Lang naturally has a reason to repay his debts, if he can't keep Hanoi County, even if he leaves a note and contract, it is useless.

An old fox and a little fox operated through the operation, and they managed to make up enough grain and grass for a while in Yi County, but the grain was still insufficient.

But it doesn't matter, Pei Qian, an old fox, and the family talkers in Yi County have begun to spread the news in the western counties of Hanoi County to win the support of more family members.

In this way, after Qin Lang entered Hanoi County, one of the biggest problems was solved.

After that, Pei Qian began to urge Qin Lang to quickly lead the troops to Wen County.

On the one hand, Pei Qian's rhetoric looks very beautiful, but the people who can fool the past are basically the big families of Hanoi who have no brains, and few of them can survive in this troubled world.

Pei Qian fooled people, these Hanoi families cooperated to be fooled, but for the sake of Pei Qian's face and the 20,000 soldiers brought by Qin Lang, they took it out to fool Qin Lang.

In other words, this batch of grain and grass is just a one-time matter of fooling each other.

On the other hand, now that Qin Lang crossed the Wangwu Mountain Road, the Shu thieves don't know about it for the time being, in this case, even Pei Qian, a person who doesn't know much about military affairs, knows that he should be a soldier and a speed.

In the past, the logistics supply was not in place, and it was difficult for Qin Lang to send troops, but now, there is enough grain and grass for the requisition, so Qin Lang can't give Zhang Xi time to detect and prepare.

After all, it is Zhang Yuanchang, a famous general in the world, with Qin Lang's ability, there will definitely be no chance of winning with a clear sword and a clear gun, and only a quick sneak attack is Qin Lang's only chance to win.

Therefore, Pei Qian urged this Qin Lang to march into the army and attack the flank of the Shu thieves in Wenxian County.

If Qin Lang can achieve certain results in Wen County this time, then the Hanoi family may continue to provide Qin Lang with the food and grass supplies he deserves, and if he can relieve the siege of Wen County, no matter what way he uses, I am afraid that the Hanoi family can also help Qin Lang blow out a "Hanoi victory".

But if Qin Lang can't do it and is repelled or even defeated by Zhang Xi, then I'm afraid that when he returns to Yi County, it is difficult to say whether there is still the banner of Great Wei on this wall.

One thing to say, Pei Qian is quite kind, he explained all the causes and consequences clearly before Qin Lang sent out the troops, and the rest depends on Qin Lang's own performance.
