In the face of the Qiang attack, Zhang Fei, the commander of Longxi County, led 3,000 battalions and 1,000 county soldiers to conduct defensive operations.

But because the other party was outnumbered and Zhang Fei had few people, he couldn't repel them.

At present, the troops of the Qiang coalition army are storming Lintao County, and Zhang Feizheng led the army to resist hard, hoping that Liu Bei would lead reinforcements to support as soon as possible.

After Liu Bei learned the news, he was furious and immediately convened a military meeting and began to make operational deployments.

"According to the latest news, the number of Qiang people who are in rebellion is no less than 20,000, and the scale is not small, but they are looking for death, I have decided to dispatch seven battalions to Longxi County, not only to clean up the invading Qiang people, but also to let them taste the bitter fruits that the Xianbei people have tasted!"

Liu Bei slapped the table, and the murderous spirit overflowed.

At present, there are actually only seven battalions left in the army under his command that can be mobilized and have completed preliminary training, and there are two battalions that have just been formed that are undergoing training, and they are not yet in a state to be able to attack.

There is a slight disadvantage in the total strength, but in terms of the training of the army and the equipment of the army, Liu Bei thinks that those Qiang people cannot be compared with him, so in this battle, Liu Bei is confident.

As last time, the attack force was personally led by Liu Bei, and Yan Zhong stayed in Ji County to handle government affairs on behalf of Liu Bei.

The main book led Wu Feng to engage in it, and attacked with him.

Wu Jie is engaged in Liu Sheng, Wu'an is engaged in Liu Yong, Wuping is engaged in Pang De, Wu Rui is engaged in Xu Huang, and the four generals will attack with him, and Jia Xu, who joined the army and engaged in Shuzuo, will attack with him, which is the old team that went out last time.

This time, Liu Bei ordered Xun You, who had just come to Liangzhou to perform his duties not long ago, to join the army and engage in the army to attack with him.

Yan Zhong, who stayed behind in the rear, was fully responsible for dispatching grain and other logistics materials to support the operation and ensure logistics for the army.

The collective farms of Hanyang County and Longxi County allocated a part of their manpower to work with the manpower of the state capital to ensure the logistics and transportation of the army.

On November 23, the fourth year of Zhongping, the army attacked, and when it was close to December, Liu Bei led the army to approach Lintao County.

At this moment, in Lintao County, Zhang Feizheng led the battalion soldiers and county soldiers under his command to make difficult resistance, because of the lack of numbers, the military strongholds outside Lintao City before the war had all been lost, and the remaining troops all entered the city and defended the city.

In the face of the attack of the superior Qiang people, Zhang Fei fought very hard at first.

He is a rushing general, a fighting general who grew up in Youzhou, and what he is best at is leading the cavalry to gallop across the city, and it is a painful thing for him to shrink in the city and lead the troops to defend the city.

However, he thought of Liu Bei's instructions and trust in him, and thought of Liu Bei's disappointed eyes once he lost the city, he couldn't stand it, and he had to find a way to hold on to the city.

If there are not enough arrows, then put the enemy closer before shooting, and it is not allowed to shoot at random.

If there is not enough rolling wood and stones, then the buildings in the city should be demolished and used as rolling logs and stones.

Lacking food, he took the lead in eating less food, and distributed his rations to the soldiers, and killed his favorite two horses stewed to boost the morale of the defenders at the head of the city.

The soldier was wounded, and he personally bandaged the wound of the soldier.

When the soldiers died in battle, he learned from Liu Bei, personally presided over the memorial ceremony of the soldiers who died in the war during the interval of the siege, cremated the soldiers who died in the war, sealed the ashes, relics and pensions, and sent them back to their hometowns and handed over to their relatives after the war.

He is stupid, and he is not as inspiring and motivating as Liu Bei, so he does these things silently, tries not to toss some things that he has and doesn't, and does things in place, he thinks it's enough.

At the beginning, Zhang Fei was a person who liked vassal elegance, because he hadn't read much and had no cultural level, so he liked to read, admired readers, and felt that readers were very awesome.

However, Liu Bei forced him to read and write, and used cramming teaching methods to oppress him to death, which gradually made Zhang Fei learn a lot of things, understand a lot of truths, and gradually have some new views on scholars and knowledge itself.

Later, when he made military achievements and was appointed as the county guard, Liu Bei had a deep talk with him, and said some things to him, as well as his expectations for him.

Liu Bei doesn't want Zhang Fei to be a fighting general and a vanguard general forever, Liu Bei hopes that Zhang Fei can grow into a fierce general and a famous general who can lead thousands of troops and horses to fight a beautiful battle, instead of charging into battle and single-handedly poking the enemy out of a dozen transparent holes.

Liu Bei hopes that Zhang Fei can go down in history with a dignified and upright attitude, instead of being rude, fierce, and unreasonable as soon as he is mentioned.

"As my brother and subordinate, Yide, you are destined to go down in history with me, I hope that when you are mentioned by future generations, you will be an image that can stand by my side and assist me, rather than an image that needs to be mentioned and taken care of by me, what do you think?"

Liu Bei's conversation made Zhang Fei realize Liu Bei's expectations and trust in him, he was deeply moved, and realized his own shortcomings.

Therefore, after taking up the post of county guard, he began to take the initiative to study, take the initiative to study, take the initiative to inspect Longxi County, understand the customs and customs, know all kinds of hidden dangers in Longxi County, and strive to learn to write government affairs reports and military affairs reports with those people in the general affairs department under his command.

These reports were highly praised by Liu Bei, who wrote to him many times to express his joy and hope for a brighter future for Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei was excited about this, studied harder, and gradually got rid of some of his bad problems and made progress.

When encountering problems, he is no longer impulsive and rude, but can calm down and think about problems, which is his biggest change.

Calm, calm, serious, thoughtful.

This eight-character mantra was written down by Zhang Fei, hung at the head of the bed, and read it every day when he got up, and once before going to bed every day to deepen his memory.

is also because he is in the position of the county guard and knows his responsibilities, so he took the initiative to learn Liu Bei's approach to his subordinates, and while being strict with his subordinates, he also gave kindness.

When his subordinates made mistakes, he would never tolerate them, and punished his subordinates in strict accordance with the rules set by Liu Bei to set an example.

After his subordinates made meritorious contributions, he did not hesitate to reward, even if it was only a small amount of credit, he would write it down and submit it to the state government, and ask the state government for rewards, and never let any of his subordinates' efforts be in vain.

Therefore, the evaluation of Zhang Fei in Longxi County continued to improve, and his subordinates praised Zhang Fei for being rough and detailed, with clear rewards and punishments, and was a very good county guard.

In this battle, although Zhang Fei was unable to win the enemy, the morale of the soldiers has been well maintained, and his subordinates and soldiers are willing to serve and fight with Zhang Fei, so Zhang Fei's action to hold the city is successful.

The Qiang people lacked the ability to siege the city, and were pinned down by Zhang Fei The main force, the attack was not smooth, and the morale was low, although there were many people, they could not win.

So Zhang Fei successfully persevered until Liu Bei led the reinforcements to arrive, and never let the Qiang people cross the thunder pool.

On November 30, the fourth year of Zhongping, Liu Bei led the troops to arrive at the periphery of Lintao County, and encountered the Qiang coalition army, the vanguard Pang De led the cavalry to fight with the Qiang cavalry, won a small victory, and then got closer to Lintao County, the defenders in the city found that the Han army reinforcements arrived, and the cheers were thunderous and morale was greatly boosted.

Seeing this, the three leaders of the Qiang coalition were very worried.

They suddenly felt as if they were facing a different enemy than they had ever been.

Although the people of Longxi County were also quite capable of fighting, they were not able to fight like this, and thousands of people faced their coalition army of more than 20,000 people, and they were stunned to bear it, and did not let them further advance to the hinterland of Longxi County.

Now the reinforcements of the Han Chinese have arrived.

This situation has caused internal stagnation among them.

Fanda, the leader of the White Horse Qiang, was very worried about this matter.

"We can't help thousands of Han troops, not to mention that now that the reinforcements of the Han people have arrived, if we continue to fight, can we win? I heard that Liu Bei is very capable of fighting!

His army is very strong, he has defeated the Xianbei people, he is not a person to deal with, we originally just wanted to grab a wave and leave, but now fighting like this, it is not something I want to see! ”

Su Heduo, the leader of the Wolf Qiang, also felt as if he had done something wrong.

"I didn't expect the Han people to become so capable of fighting, but now that their reinforcements have arrived, continue to fight, I'm afraid it's not a wise choice, we should probably retreat, otherwise I'm afraid there will be other changes."

The leader of the Zen Lingqiang, Zhige, who was in charge of the matter, was uneasy.

He can't let these two guys run away when they see that the situation is not good, everyone finally reached an agreement to get some benefits together, and now a lot of people have died, and the benefits are not reaped, and the team is about to disperse?

Then don't these people under his command kill him?

Originally, it was difficult for Lingqiang to survive after the previous defeat, so he needed to grab something to survive this cold winter, and Zhige himself also needed a military victory to maintain his dominance, lest his dominance be shaken by those younger brothers who were gradually becoming less obedient.

Now that this action can't be carried out, Zhige is also beating the drum in his heart.

He could only try to persuade.

"It's not the first time we've fought with the Han people, the Han people were beaten by us before and we didn't have the strength to fight back, we have no reason to be afraid of them, it's so cold this winter, everyone's life is not easy, if you want to die less people, don't rob, what else can you do?

I heard that Liu Bei has a lot of farms in Longxi, and the Han farmers in them have produced a lot of grain, and we have grabbed all the grain, and we can survive this winter, and when the spring of the next year begins, wouldn't it be a great achievement? Why hold back now? ”

Fanda and Suheduo looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.

They had heard of Liu Bei's prestige and knew that Liu Bei was very capable of fighting, which was a fact.

But the need for survival is indeed a real problem in front of them, in the case of a bad living environment, they don't want to confront a fierce man like Liu Bei head-on, but they can't let the people of the tribe starve to death too much, right?

So they finally decided to fight the battle head-on, grab enough food to survive the winter, feed their stomachs, and then think about other problems.
