Since the defeat of Zhao Yun, he decided to go west to Liangzhou to meet Huang Quan and Ma Chao, and then try to fight with the Cao army, Zhao Yun marched all the way, fortunately, Yang Wan's identity and understanding of the terrain helped a lot, Zhao Yun bypassed the Cao army all the way, and the march was quite smooth.

Passing through Dingxi, Zhao Yun was a general who inspected the counties of Longyou, and Dingxi was the place where he was stationed, but most of the time he led troops to inspect the Qiang tribes in Longshang, and suppressed the Qiang rebellion with the army.

This city has not yet fallen, and the people of Shu County have stayed behind. After the attack of Cao's army, Zhao Yun fought in Tianshui and Nan'an, and chose to take a detour when rushing to Longxi County, and did not return to Dingxi to rest, which surprised Li Hui and others.

Zhao Yun explained: "Dingxi City was not attacked, the fundamental reason is that the city is strong, the place is remote, and it is not an important road. Cao Jun didn't feel the threat, it was useless to capture, and the soldiers and horses were injured in vain, and the gains outweighed the losses! Zhang Biao is quite talented and capable enough to defend himself.

Yun has a slight reputation, entering Dingxi City, Cao Jun is afraid that our army will gather troops and horses in Dingxi to attack, and the army will inevitably come to break through the city, cut off the supply of our army, and remove the threat, which will be a bad thing, but it is better to leave it alone, and when it is critical, it may be useful! ”

Zhao Yun's concern was indeed the case, Cao Jun did not besiege Dingxi, but secretly sent troops to monitor. Zhao Yun didn't go, but he didn't reveal his whereabouts.

When Zhao Yun arrived in Longxi County, the scouts heard that the next army of soldiers and horses had been holding each other for more than a month. Zhao Yun was cautious and inquired in detail, and it happened that Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Yang Fu and others attacked Qiangqi in the south, and the soldiers and horses of Longxi County were like lone troops.

Zhao Yun decided to use more than 3,000 men and horses in his hands to attack the Cao army under the city. Zhao Yun was cautious by nature, seeing that Cao's army camp was strong and there were no flaws in the camp, he didn't dare to take it lightly when he heard that there were not many soldiers and horses.

Zhao Yun discussed with Li Hui and Yang Wan in detail, and divided the soldiers and horses into four teams to attack. Zhao Yun sent dozens of teams of ten people to bring dry firewood, which stretched to the surrounding thirty miles, and if there was an enemy situation, they would raise fire to warn.

That night, Li Hui first led 500 people to attack Zhao Qu. In the south, the Cao army and the Liangzhou soldiers and horses were in full swing, but there had been no war since the Zhao Qubu in Longxi County was monitored, and the Cao army was inevitably a little careless.

Suddenly attacked, Cao General Zhao Qu was not slow to react, and immediately put on his helmet and armor to command to meet the enemy. Fortunately, Li Hui did not have many soldiers and horses, so he attacked the Cao army village and set fire to it, and the Cao army gradually surrounded and fought with the Han army, and Li Hui turned around and retreated.

After Zhao Qu drove Li Hui away, he did not know the strength of the enemy army in the dark night, and it was even more difficult to determine where the enemy army came from, and he had not received relevant news before. Zhao Qu's first reaction was Xiangwu City, but he didn't rush to chase after it. Patch up the broken gaps and wait for dawn.

Zhao Qu didn't know that Li Hui was just Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses to test his troops. After some fighting, Li Hui sent someone to inform Zhao Yun that there were indeed not many Cao troops in the camp.

Li Hui went up and down the article in the direction of retreat, and seeing that no one was chasing, Li Hui lit a torch and retreated to Xiangwu City (Longxi County Administration).

From a distance, it looks like a sneak attack sent by Xiangwu City. Then there were more torches under the city, and Zhao Quyi estimated that there were three or four times more than just now.

Zhao Qu's first reaction was played by Xu Miao, how did he know that this was just Zhao Yun's bluff.

When the defenders on Xiangwu City heard the movement, they hurriedly reported to Xu Miao, arranged bows and arrows and ordered Li Hui to retreat!

Li Hui took out his Taishou seal, identified his identity and shouted: "I am the stable Taishou of the King of Hanzhong, the same as your Xu Miao Taishou!" This is my Taishou seal, you hang it and show it to Xu Taishou! ”

The captain guarding the city gate did not dare to delay, and hurriedly took the seal ribbon to Xu Miao. Xu Miao was already coming, and after seeing the seal ribbon, he said to the visitor: "This is too much to keep the seal is true!" Take me to the gates to investigate! ”

Li Hui took out the seal ribbon, expecting that these defenders would not dare to release arrows, and after temporarily solving the threat of the city gate defenders to himself, Li Hui continued to blempty and make a big illusion!

After Xu Miao arrived, the city gate captain told Xu Miao what he saw, Xu Miao stared at it, and sure enough, he saw Li Hui. Xu Miao instructed: "Guard the city for the time being, don't make any reaction!" Let the soldiers and horses of the city move! Unless they cling to the city and attack it, they will be able to fight back! "All his men took orders.

Li Hui saw Xu Miao on the city wall and shouted: "Xu Taishou, I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't you come down and catch up on the past!" Lead the troops to help the fun! ”

Xu Miao is so smart, he hears the sound of the strings and wants to send troops to help the war! Xu Miao smiled at Li Hui and said, "Why should Li Taishou be polite, why should he use me to send troops to help the fun!" Li Taishou, isn't this just sending troops to attack Zhao Qu for me! Zhao Qu is afraid that he is scolding me Xu Miao now! ”

Li Hui was surprised by Xu Miao's cleverness and thought: "General Zhao Yun's plan to take advantage of the situation was actually seen through by Xu Miao, who was watching from the city tower!" Not to be underestimated! ”

Li Hui replied: "Xu Taishou, after victory, you should set up a banquet to reward the soldiers of the three armies!" ”

Xu Miao responded: "Li Taishou rest assured, I will not leave the public position out of the door!" ”

Xu Miao looked at the city and said to Jiang Yu beside him: "Jiang Gongcao, prepare immediately, and reward the soldiers and horses under the city after dawn!" Jiang Yu promised.

Xu Miao looked in the direction of Cao Ying and said, "Zhao Qu can be called a battle-hardened warrior and proficient in martial arts. In terms of martial arts, Li Hui is not his opponent, and now he shows extreme confidence. It shows that there must be a backhand! With Jing plotting to move, Zhao Qu was calculated! Defeat! ”

Cao Ying Zhao Qu gathered Cao's army and arranged defenses in the direction of Li Hui's torches. Zhao Qu unexpectedly didn't send anyone for help. The main reason is that Zhao Qu misjudged that the soldiers were not superior in numbers, and their combat strength was not as good as Cao's army, so he could deal with it.

At this time, the army is heading south for a fierce battle, and will report back according to the situation when the thief army is repulsed! There's no need to stir up a crowd! Disrupt the Horde action! Zhao Qu never thought about the possibility of the Han army coming from other places! It shows that he is as strong as most of Cao's generals!

Li Hui made a noise for a while, and Yang Wan led two thousand soldiers and horses to attack head-on, and began to exhaust Cao's army. Li Hui commanded the cavalry to approach Cao's camp and released arrows when they reached range.

Not to be outdone, Zhao Qu fought back. The two sides fired at each other, Li Hui feigned to attack several times, and Zhao Qu commanded Cao's army to shoot back. The two armies fought fiercely until dawn.

Zhao Yun saw that the time was almost up, so he rode out and led his troops to kill from the weak place behind Cao's army. Zhao Yun selected thirty shooters and shot Cao Jun with him.

The Han army, which was all cavalry, quickly approached the back of Cao's army and entered the firing range. Cao Jun returned fire, but the position was exposed.

Zhao Yun hung his gun and pulled his bow, the arrow was not missing, and Cao Jun fell in response. His men also shot and killed 100 people. After approaching Cao Jun's rejection of the horse, Zhao Yun led the wrestlers to pick up the rejection of the horse, and Cao Jun was a little supportive, thinking that it was mainly monitoring, and did not dig a trench, which provided convenience for Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun approached Cao's military camp, suppressed it with a bow and arrow, and set it on fire.

Zhao Qu was attracted by the firelight and was taken aback, how could there be a thief army from behind, seeing that the defense behind the village was weak, he was facing the dilemma of attacking from front to back.

Zhao Qu ordered that he would continue to resist the frontal thief army, and he led 500 people to support. After Zhao Qu arrived, the camp had been burned and was about to collapse, and Cao's army was about to be defeated. Zhao Qu killed several defeated soldiers, ordered a formation to resist, and set up a temporary rejection of horses and the enemy.

Zhao Yun saw that Zhao Qu killed the defeated soldiers and commanded the defense, and understood that it must be the generals of the Cao army who dared to kill the defeated soldiers. Although he didn't know Zhao Qu, Zhao Yun was still keenly aware that Zhao Qu's identity was not ordinary.

Zhao Yun didn't want to delay too long, so he opened his bow and shot an arrow at Zhao Qu, Zhao Qu looked up and saw that it was too late to be killed by an arrow, and fell off his horse.

The Cao army was in chaos, Zhao Yun took advantage of the chaos to kill in the village, surrounded the Cao army with Li Hui and Yang Qianqian, and captured all the Cao army!

After dawn, Zhao Yun cleaned up the battlefield, burned down the Cao army camp, escorted the Cao army captives and knocked on the gate of Xiangwu City, and Xu Miao opened the door to welcome in! Zhao Yun led the army into the city for repairs.

Xu Miao set up a banquet to entertain, the war situation was urgent, and everyone had no intention of enjoying it, so they ate indiscriminately. Zhao Yun began to discuss the next step of the army with Li Hui, Xu Miao, Yang Wan and others.

Li Hui opened his mouth and asked Xu Miao: "Xu Taishou, I see that this Xiangwu City has not been warned, and there is no gap in the city wall. Fighting with Cao Jun, I heard the soldiers say that Cao Jun scolded you for not keeping your word. What's going on with you? What did Taishou say to Cao Jiang? ”

Xu Miao replied calmly: "It's the same as knocking on the city to the pet before!" I agreed with Xiahou Yuan that he could maintain the advantage in Longyou, and I would surrender in three months! I won't go out of the city for these three months, and he won't come to attack me! Peaceful! ”

Li Hui touched his beard and said, "Xu Taishou is magnanimous and admired!" But the rumors in the market will come true for a long time, and when the time comes, the historian's penmanship will write Taishou as a person who is opportunistic! Xu Taishou should be careful! ”

Xu Miao smiled and said: "The historian's penmanship is used as a warning, take it as a warning!" If you look closely, you can see that it is full of princes and generals. How did it relate to the people?

The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses who followed the famous generals and recruited from the common people could leave nothing but a bunch of numbers.

The Han Dynasty has been in turmoil for 30 years, and the people are suffering from war! Who would have thought that the people of Longyou are especially suffering from the war, and they have repeatedly borne the brunt of the Qiang rebellion, and now this Longxi can not make up even if it adds 80,000 Qiang people who have settled in the city!

Now most of the people are in this Xiangwu City, and I will keep them peaceful for several years! The rest is not what I think! ”

Zhao Yun arched his hand and said: "The last general admires Xu Taishou's heart for the people!" Reviving the peace of the Han Dynasty is also the king's thought. Our army was defeated by Cao's army, and Cao's army would soon surround it from the south.

I intend to go out of the city with Li Taishou and Yang leaders, and continue to use the speed of cavalry to deal with Cao's army. However, Xu Taishou, I am afraid that Cao Jun will not keep the agreement of holding each other for three months in the first battle last night! ”

Xu Miao said: "General Zhao Yun doesn't have to worry, he has some skills below, even if the Cao army attacks the city, I am enough to hold on for three months to protect Xiangwu without breaking it!"

It is expected that Cao's army may not attack Xiangwu City. At present, harvesting wheat fields to replenish army rations is what Cao Jun has to do, and Cao Jun's army cannot fight as quickly as Xiahou Yuan did when Hubu Longyou did, so it must consider holding each other for a long time.

The daily cost is 10,000 gold, even if it occupies the rich land of the Central Plains, it does not dare to hold on for a long time. In another month or two, the battle situation will become clear, and then it will be decided whether Longxi County will fight or surrender! ”

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Xu Taishou is wisdom and resourcefulness are extraordinary!" According to the end, success or failure lies in the wheat field of Longyou! ”

Xu Miao smiled: "Yes, it depends on the general's ability!" ”

Zhao Yun laughed and said: "Xu Taishou is too lazy and refuses to contribute!" Li Taishou and Yang Leader We are born to run around and work hard, and we can't compare to Xu Taishou sitting in the city and being idle! Everyone laughed, it was a rare moment of peace in this raging war.

Zhao Yun sent an order to bring General Cao Junbian. General Cao Jun was terrified, and Zhao Yun reported to his family: "I am the Han general Changshan Zhao Zilong, teach you to know the name of this general."

Let you leave today, go and tell Cao Ren and Cao Hong that Zhao Yun is here, and ask them to come and fight with me!" ”

General Cao Jun glanced up at Zhao Yun a few times, and agreed repeatedly. Zhao Yun waved his hand, and his subordinates left with General Cao Jun.

The whole army rested in the city for two hours, preparing to leave the city, Zhao Yun originally wanted to leave the prisoners in the city, considering that Xu Miao would be embarrassed, and he was also afraid that it would be bad for the originally strong Xiangwu City to defend it. It was decided to leave with the captives.

Xu Miao was very surprised, afraid that Zhao Yun would kill the prisoner, and persuaded Zhao Yun to keep the prisoner, Zhao Yun insisted on taking it away without promising to kill the prisoner, and Xu Miao failed to persuade Zhao Yun.

After Zhao Yun took the captives out of the city, he ordered the thighs of the captives to be pierced, making them unable to participate in the battle for a short time.

Yang Wan persuaded Zhao Yun to kill them, but Zhao Yun refused: "The king has never slaughtered the city or killed prisoners since the army began. The people of the world are all respectful! I have been with the king for a long time, and I will not ruin the king's name!

These Cao soldiers were pierced in the thighs, and they could not participate in the battle but had to recuperate from their wounds, which only increased the burden on Cao Jun! After the victory of our army, they will not be able to run away like this, and they will still be captured by our army! Leader Yang, our army will win, isn't it? ”

Yang Wan admired: "General Zhao is arrogant, I admire it, and I will act according to what the general says!" ”
