The sky was bright, and the generals and colonels together with Dai Wuzhi and other Qiang Di came to visit Huang Quan, Dai Wuzhi knew Huang Quan, knew that Huang Quan suppressed the rebellion in Liangzhou, comforted Qiang, trained cavalry, and did not dare to underestimate Huang Quan.

Huang Quan saw Dai Wuzhi and said with a smile on his face: "Leader Dai, I haven't seen you for a long time, I met in Taoyang before, but in the blink of an eye, I arrived at Qishan Fort!" ”

Dai Wuzhi replied repeatedly: "We haven't helped, I'm ashamed!" ”

Huang Quan already knew the cause and effect, because Liu Chan lured, Cao Hong divided his troops indiscriminately, and Ma Chao broke Cao's army several times in a row, causing Cao's army to dare not rashly go south to meet Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan was forced to choose to go east to Qishan, and the plan of the Qiang people to block the enemy arranged before actually did not play any role, and the slight battle was a small battle, and the losses were minimal! This is what Dai Wuzhi was referring to.

Huang Quan said with a smile: "It is enough for the leaders to deter the Cao army, why fight!" ”

Then Huang Quan restrained his smile and said: "But Leader Dai, you have to do your part now, and the Cao army has not been completely defeated!" ”

Dai Wuzhi said in a continuous voice: "Everyone who listens to the history of assassination!" ”

Huang Quan nodded and said, "There is the cooperation of the leader of Lao." I heard that the army is training these days! ”

Dai Wuzhi said: "Exactly, it's a pity that the time is too short and it hasn't worked!" ”

Huang Quan said: "If you want me to say Zhang Xiu and Zhang Wei, I will only use clumsy, and I don't know how to use it!" I have a solution, and it will be done in a few days! ”

Dai Wuzhi heard the spirit, Dai Wuzhi is not an ordinary small tribe, its tribe number, cattle and sheep are second to none, Dai Wuzhi is naturally famous. When people have fame and strength, they have ideas, and in general, ambition!

Huang Quan is the assassin of Liangzhou, except for Liangzhou, he also supervises Longyou Zhuqiang. Balance the power of Qiang so that they can be controlled and used by me! For these Qiang leaders who are not low in influence, Huang Quan is familiar with his chest, and what he guards against is that they become bigger!

Dai Wuzhi hurriedly said: "Then try it!" I'm going to ask the assassin for advice! ”

Huang Quan pressed the scabbard with his hand and said, "Okay, try it!" ”

Huang Quan ordered to measure the pace of the Qiang cavalry horses, and asked to ensure that the horses of the whole team were at the same pace as much as possible. Then it is stipulated that after the drum is beaten, the first swing of the flag is ten steps forward, the two swings are twenty steps, and so on. Mingjin is to see the order flag to retreat, and every Qiang branch unit must convey the order in time.

Huang Quan finished the order and began training. This kind of training is actually a test of the commander's ability to lead the troops, and it is just a one-man war.

Unlike the Han army, the Han army not only obeyed orders, but also trained the ability to be strict when advancing and not chaotic when retreating. The Han army favored generals and colonels to have a certain ability to lead troops to ensure that they could give full play to the combat power of the entire army.

Huang Quan taught everyone in the Qiang cavalry to listen to him, but he didn't care about the strength of the command of each team. It's good if you rely on your sharp spirit to fight quickly, but once you encounter a tough battle, you will fight for a long time. The Qiang cavalry was frustrated, the command failed, and the disadvantages were revealed, but they still couldn't resist it, and they were not as good as the Han army.

The Qiang cavalry could not strictly follow the training to ensure that they maintained their formation like the Han army, and they would not break and flee, but fought and retreated. Moreover, Huang Quan did not emphasize the military discipline of the Han army, which is equivalent to saying that Qiang Di was still an unrestrained straggler.

Dai Wuzhi noticed something unusual, but a few days ago, Zhang Xiu emphasized that this is not allowed, and if you don't listen to the military law, you will be killed! He also teaches some basic ways to face the battle. Huang Quan didn't have it, just listen to his forward and backward words.

Dai Wuzhi walked to Huang Quan's side and said cautiously: "Huang Tingshi, is it okay to train like this?" What kind of military law is not used to meet the enemy? There are all sorts of other commands! I've heard that there are also some cavalry formations, in addition to the Blade Formation, there are also car suspension formations, crane wing formations and the like! ”

Huang Quan scolded in his heart: "Zhang Xiu, Zhang Wei, you dare to teach anything!" This has to be practiced, once there is a trouble, who can shake this group of belligerent Qiang people! ”

Huang Quan was annoyed in his heart, but his face was as usual: "The warriors of the Qiang tribe are brave and good at fighting, and their equestrian skills are very good, so it is useless to talk about tactics to meet the enemy!" The formation and military law are infantry, and the cavalry is mainly flexible, just rush! Isn't this orthodox? By the way, where did you hear about this car hanging? ”

Dai Wuzhi smiled embarrassedly and said, "I heard that the car suspension array was injured by Huo Qu's disease!" ”

Huang Quan said with a strange expression: "I know, I'm afraid what the leader doesn't know is that the formation of the champion Hou has long been lost!" If the leader wants me, I want to see it! ”

Dai Wuzhi hurriedly said: "No! I've just heard of it! ”

Huang Quan pointed to the army and said, "Just practice like this!" The big war is imminent, and there is no time to practice in detail! Dai Wuzhi retreated.

Huang Quan rolled in his heart and said: "Dai Wuzhi is quite hearted, he wants to train like our army, and he wants to understand the cavalry formation.

The car hangs over! Champion Hou breaks the formation of the Huns! There is a world of difference between a cavalryman with a formation and a cavalryman with a brave horseman. It seems that Dai Wuzhi has a lot of ambitions. I'm going to find a way to get rid of him! ”

That night, Huang Quan ordered an open-air camp, and the camp was just a disguise. In the middle of the night, it began to rain lightly. The Han army and the Qiang cavalry complained that they would suffer if they could not live in the camp.

Huang Quan turned a deaf ear when he heard the discussion, only he knew that he was guarding against the army that had chased him, he had no way of knowing the whereabouts of that army, so naturally he couldn't guarantee whether that army would appear or where! If you can't be sure, take precautions! The defeat at the Battle of Axe Ridge made him more cautious.

Huang Quan didn't know that the troops he was guarding against were rejoicing in God's blessing. This rain will cause the ground to be slippery, which is not conducive to the mobility of the cavalry, but to the infantry!

If Fei Yao knew that Huang Quan would have arrived a day earlier than him, I am afraid that he would have to shout God to help the thief, not to help me!

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Fei Yao led 4,000 foot soldiers to quietly surround him. Because the sky was dark and the torches were not as bright as usual when it rained, the guard Han army arranged by Huang Quan found Cao Jun only a hundred steps away from the camp!

Fei Yao saw the exposure and shouted: "Kill, kill in, attack the thief army horse shed and disturb the war horse!" Disturb the thief army and kill the thief army! ”

It's a pity that Fei Yao went in and found that the camp was only stocked with some food, and the soldiers and horses were not there.

On the other side, Huang Quan gathered his cavalry and waited for him to block the way for this Cao army to enter Qishan Fort. Fei Yao saw the plan and hurriedly withdrew, but fortunately, Huang Quan didn't want to increase casualties in vain, so he didn't attack in the rain.

Fei Yao formed a formation and retreated to Qishan Fort, to defend the fortress. Huang Quan blocked the road, commanded the cavalry to shoot arrows, did not advance, and carefully controlled the horses to avoid the horses slipping.

Fei Yao formed a formation and fired back. The two armies fired arrows at each other. Fei Yao relied on the rain and the cavalry did not dare to gallop and kill the cavalry closely.

It was raining, and the cavalry could not attack. But the horses were tall, the cavalry was like a wall, and the immovable horses freed the hands of the knights, and they condescendingly stabbed out their spears to block the attack of Cao's army.

The cavalry on both sides controlled their horses and surrounded them, and shot Cao Jun with arrows from both sides. Cao's army killed and wounded many cavalrymen, and his own casualties were even more serious.

The sky was about to dawn, Huang Quan suddenly let go of his mouth, and Cao Jun was about to rush in and enter Qishan Fort. Fei Yao roared and stopped, and the sound of gold sounded Cao Jun retreated.

Huang Quan secretly regretted that at the beginning, he didn't let the Cao army enter the fort because he was afraid that the two Cao armies would meet, and if he wanted to eat them, the casualties would become bigger!

After a night of fierce fighting, the Cao army was left with less than 2,000 people, the strength was weakened, and the remaining strength of the Cao army was even less when they were put into the fort to intercept and kill for a while.

Fei Yao realized that he was unable to break through the Han army's blockade, and the Han army's sudden opening must be deceitful, so he retreated decisively!

Huang Quan didn't pursue, he understood that Fei Yao would not take the plain road, he would retreat along the mountain road as much as possible, and he didn't have to brave the rain to chase an army that might not be able to eat! However, he stopped Cao Jun's intention to take the corpse away!

After dawn, Gao Gang of Qishan Fort was shocked when he saw the corpses of Cao Jun piled up outside the fort. Huang Quan sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender, and after Gao Gang knew that there could be no reinforcements, he panicked in his heart, and he didn't want to surrender and didn't dare to refuse, which was just prevarication and delay!

Huang Quan sent someone to Cheng Ji to inform Fei Yaojun of the news, and asked him to be careful of Fei Yao's unexpected remnants!

Under Qishan Fort, Huang Quan judged from the mouth of the envoy that Gao Gang had nothing to do, and he continued to wait.

Five days later, after two days of food shortage, Gao Gang sent people to surrender, demanding that the bodies of the defenders in the fort not be damaged! Huang Quan agreed.

After Gao Gang surrendered, Huang Quan asked Gao Gang to write a letter of persuasion to Cao Ren to prove his determination to surrender. Gao Gang was afraid to die, and kept refusing, Huang Quan was furious and pretended to turn his face!

Gao Gang had no choice but to write a letter, Huang Quan was not satisfied after reading it, and asked for harsh wording! Gao Gang cried about the lives of his family, and Huang Quan simply said: "In that case, why don't you kill yourself?" Why surrender? ”

Gao Gang hesitated, and couldn't say why. Huang Quan saw that he was afraid of death and despised him, and scolded: "If you don't want to die, write quickly!" It's impossible to get on both sides! If you want to die! If you can't do it yourself, I'll help you! ”

Gao Gang chose to write a letter, and Huang Quan sent someone to Cao Ren to bring Gao Gang to the army! Zhang Wei was left to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard Qishan Fort and guard the prisoners. Send people to Taoyang so that Shi Jaw does not have to be stationed in Taoyang alone, but to ensure that Lintao, Hou and the first line are in the hands of the Han army, ask for support from Jincheng County, and send some infantry to help guard Qishan Fort.

In the direction of Tianshui, Cheng Ji was worried about marching along the way, and it was said that he could not command more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, or cavalry.

Now the battle situation is completely uneven, the generals Zhao Yun and Huang Quan are nowhere to be found, there is no way! It was his turn to calculate the official position, and he was forced into this position.

Cheng Ji arrived safely at the best position that Ma Chao said, and sent Huang Zheng, Ou He, Yao Ge and others to lead the cavalry with 1,000 cavalry per team, let go of the robbery, and saw Cao Jun kill casually, and each Cao soldier's head was clearly priced.

Strictly order that civilians are not allowed to be killed, otherwise military law will be engaged! Cheng Ji sent the Han army to act as a supervisor!

The Qiang cavalry gave full play to their ability to plunder, and that night they cut off nearly 2,000 heads of Cao soldiers who were harvesting wheat fields, and burned the two convoys carrying grain back.

Cheng Ji asked if the people were killed by mistake, and the soldiers of the prison army told the truth that some people who were forced to help Cao Jun were killed by mistake! They can't stop it!

Cheng Ji asked who it was, gathered the generals and tribal leaders, and ordered in front of them to bring the Qiang cavalry who killed the people to the front of him to be heavily responsible, with thirty military sticks per person, but he did not kill them!

Cheng Ji secretly said sadly: "I have taken it as my responsibility to protect the country and the people all my life, but today I have to condone these Qiang people who kill the people!"

General Ma Chao, do you usually use these easy-to-kill Qiang people as your arms? How can this not attract resentment! Now why are you asking me to do such a thing! ”

In fact, Ma Chao once specifically told Cheng Ji that it was common to rob and kill people by mistake, and even some Qiang people did it deliberately.

Cheng Ji questioned! Ma Chao replied indifferently that you can't do without them! Don't be reasonable, it's not moral! But there is no reason to talk about it now, if the reason can be explained, will the world still be like this now!

Cheng Ji inquired in detail and recorded everyone's exploits. At the same time, the leader of the Qiang tribe who killed the people was severely declared! Cheng Ji's face was a little distorted, and he said sharply: "This time I will spare it, and if I commit it again, I will kill it!" Then he pulled out Ma Chao's sword and plunged it into the ground.

That night, after interrogating the prisoners of grain, Cheng Ji learned about the place where the Cao army harvested grain and grass hoards, and prepared to take advantage of the daytime to get it.

Everyone had no objections, and the discussion was proper, Cheng Ji led his troops and horses to march, but he was unexpectedly stopped on the road.

Cheng Ji was very surprised, and the person who came claimed to be Tianshui Jiang Wei's people! Jiang Wei defeated Zhang He's group and wandered around the periphery, and Cao Ren sensed Jiang Wei's existence and tried to eliminate Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei saw that the momentum was not good, so he avoided it from afar. Jiang Wei is a native of Tianshui, and he used geography to evade several pursuits, but he never dared to approach Jicheng again.

Jiang Wei did not get close to Jicheng, which is equivalent to saying that he could not provide hope and momentum for Jicheng, Cao Renjiu could not completely seize Jiang Wei, and he was unwilling to use tens of thousands of encirclement and annihilation, seeing that Jiang Wei did not dare to come to Jicheng and cut off Jicheng's goal was achieved, he did not waste his troops on Jiang Wei, and set up surveillance points on all sides instead.

Cao Ren didn't expect that he couldn't insist on destroying Jiang Wei, but let Cheng Ji's cavalry escape!

The Cao army began to harvest the wheat field, and Jiang Wei used 2,000 soldiers and horses in his hand to ambush the Cao army twice in the wheat field, beheading more than 700 people. And with the identity of a local, the source is fast, and he quickly learned the news that the cavalry appeared in Tianshui to attack Cao's army, so he wanted to go to the rendezvous!

Jiang Wei's soldiers and horses are mainly foot soldiers, and he can't catch up with the cavalry who are like the wind. Since he couldn't catch up, he was waiting on the road he had to pass, Jiang Wei judged that the cavalry of the Han army was cutting off the enemy's grain and grass, and they would inevitably plot to hoard Cao's grain and grass.

Jiang Wei quickly rushed to twenty miles away from the grain and grass, and arranged soldiers and horses on the large and small paths, but it was unexpected to encounter it so quickly!

Cheng Ji saw that Jiang Wei expected his actions, and reacted that he was afraid that he would not be able to attack Cao Jun's grain storage office tonight.

Cheng Ji waited for Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei visited Cheng Jibi, Cheng Jiqi said: "How do you know what I want to do?" ”

Jiang Wei arched his hand and said: "General, not only I know, but Cao Jun also knows. The general was not familiar with the geographical advantages of Longyou, and did not know that the wheat places that Cao Jun chose to hoard and harvest were wide inside and narrow outside, and there were many trees on both sides.

Even though there is a wide road, it is still dangerous! If I am Cao Jun, let the general enter and burn grain. The general entered and blocked the retreat with trees, and then occupied a high place and let the general burn the grain.

The exit was heavily guarded, with trees on both sides, and the road was blocked, so that the cavalry could not rush up, so that it was enough to trap the general.

Anyway, there are a lot of wheat on the right, it's not a pity, you can harvest again after burning this batch! And there is no threat, you can harvest as much as you want! The general wanted to catch Cao Jun off guard, but Cao Ren had already been prepared for this move from the beginning! ”

Cheng Ji came down in a cold sweat after hearing this! Out of breath, ordered to retreat! Sent someone to dial a good horse for Jiang Wei!

On the way back to the army, Cheng Ji bowed to Jiang Wei and said: "If it weren't for Boyo's reminder, I'm afraid I would have been defeated and misunderstood, and the overall situation would be ruined!" ”

Jiang Weilian said that he didn't dare to say: "The general's use of troops can't be said to be wrong, the time is not as good as the location, the general is not from Tianshui, but he only took advantage of the locals to see through the Cao army!" ”

Cheng Ji said embarrassedly: "I acted according to General Ma Chao's suggestion!" He said that he would burn Cao Jun and harvest wheat as soon as possible! I thought that Cao Jun would be tired when he was attacked during the day, so I attacked him unexpectedly. Unexpectedly, it was on paper! Alas! ”

Jiang Wei said: "Cao Ren has already arranged in advance, and as far as I know, he started to act ten days before the wheat was ripe!" The general soldiers are slightly inferior to Cao Ren, which is not a soldier on paper!

By the way, why didn't General Ma Chao come by himself? Should he not be afraid of Cao Ren? Familiarize yourself with the use of military forces to get twice the result with half the effort! ”

Cheng Ji briefly said Ma Chao's plan. Jiang Wei sighed: "Ma Chao is brutal and unkind, and he is experienced in using soldiers after all!" ”

Cheng Ji secretly sighed that the people of Longyou seemed to welcome Ma Chao, and the rest of the people didn't like Ma Chao.

Cheng Ji said: "Boyo is so young, but he is far better than me in the army, help me!" ”

Jiang Wei said humbly: "General Cheng is polite!" ”

Cheng Ji continued: "Does Boyo know about General Zhao Yun's movements? ”

Jiang Wei leaned over and approached Cheng Ji and whispered, "I have heard that General Zhao Yun led the cavalry of the Di tribe to fight several battles with the Cao army in Nan'an County, and finally was defeated!" Nan'an County is broken! General Zhao Yun is nowhere to be found!

I think General Zhao Yun should be fine, these are all Cao Jun's spreads, the words are too vague, there must be ghosts! But I don't know where General Zhao Yun is now! ”

Cheng Yi sighed: "General Zhao Yun is better than me leading this cavalry!" Alas! ”
