Pang Lin marched along the Qishan Road, running non-stop in the direction of the next debate! Twenty thousand horses galloped and the sound was shocking! In order not to be discovered by Cao Jun, Pang Lin slowed down the speed of the horses!

Pathfinder scouts sent out in advance! Hui Cao's army has a stronghold thirty miles away!

Pang Lin stopped the marching army and said: "The Cao army has a stronghold, which means that there are strongholds from here downward!" We must no longer march on the main road like this, and send Wu Bai soldiers to watch over the extra horses! We dismounted and led our horses, approached the strongholds of the Cao army, hid in the mountains and forests, and pulled out these strongholds at night! ”

That night, keep your horses on a leash! The Han army was the first to pull out the stronghold discovered during the day! Then touch it from both sides and check it everywhere! Successfully unplugged two!

After detailed interrogation, he roughly figured out the number of strongholds set up by Cao Jun in the mountains, forests and roads! Pang Lin didn't dare to hold it up, and carefully looked around while speeding up!

The first day went well! Didn't alarm Cao Jun! Unexpectedly, he continued to pull out the next day, but for a moment of negligence, Cao Jun accidentally heard the movement and found that the Han army lit the beacon fire, and in an instant, the beacon fire to the west of the stronghold was ignited!

Cao Jun gets a warning! Pang Lin was annoyed, no longer hid his figure, and sent Guan Xing to lead 3,000 cavalry along the main road, and he and Zhang Bao led the search and killing of the strongholds on both sides of the Cao army!

After the stronghold Cao Jun released the beacon fire, it was equivalent to saying that the task was completed and he immediately withdrew to the Cao army's fortress in Baishui Mountain! Unexpectedly, two legs can't run on four legs, and Guan Xing catches up and kills them all! More than 70 people were captured!

Destroy the stronghold of the Cao army, Pang Lin, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao and all the Han generals gathered over to discuss how to break through the Cao army and set up a camp!

Time was tight, Pang Lin got straight to the point and said: "You all know the general situation!" I won't say more! The captives confessed that Cao's army had a fortress in Baishui Mountain, and most of our army were cavalry, and it was not my fortification to attack the fortifications, and the gains outweighed the losses!

Now I am ready to take advantage of the defeat of the Cao army, these strongholds of the Cao army to retreat after the beacon fire, we can send someone to pretend to be the Cao army, open the gate of the barracks, and then the cavalry will break through and take it! Do you have any other good ideas? ”

Pang Lin glanced around, and after everyone whispered and discussed, there was no disagreement! Pang Lin selected sixty very skilled captains, captains, and chiefs to pretend to be Cao Jun and come to the camp in Baishui Mountain!

The Han army rushed to the camp and shouted, "We are ordered to guard the beacon stronghold!" Now it has been warned, and I am here to return to my life! ”

Guarding the village Cao General is Cao General Dai Ling, Dai Ling asked: "All the soldiers are hard! However, I will have the responsibility of guarding the village, and I need to interrogate everyone! Soldiers have listened to what is the order of the army today? ”

Zhong Han Jun said: "Order? I never received an order! ”

Dai Ling said angrily: "Isn't the order 'Heluo'? Didn't the captain tell you last night? ”

The Han army couldn't say along the way: "It's a general!" We were so focused on running for our lives that we forgot! Please also forgive the general! Please open the gate quickly, the Han army is behind! ”

Dai Ling smiled: "Don't worry! Is this order 'Luohe' or 'Heluo'? I misremember which one you say? Don't you know? ”

The Han army was stunned, and they didn't know what to do, and suddenly one of them hurriedly said: "General, I know!" It's 'Heluo'! ”

Dai Ling laughed and said: "You thieves also want to cheat the city, and you don't have an order at all, so you can play with each other!" Give me arrows! ”

As soon as Dai Ling's words fell, several arrows were shot from under the city, and Dai Ling was shocked and retreated a few steps to dodge! The Han army under the city fired arrows together, and the Cao army was shot down by more than ten people!

Dai Ling was furious, stretched his bow and arrows, and shot at the Han army! The Han army retreats while shooting!

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, who were ordered to wait for the gate of the village to be opened and robbed from afar, saw that they were recognized, and quickly responded to the attack, and all the Han troops released arrows together to suppress the Cao army, and took back more than ten people who had not been shot down, and the remaining fifty people were shot to death!

Pang Lin waited for Guan Xing to explain the situation and sighed: "It's self-defeating!" Alas! It's a pity that the fifty people are all chiefs, captains, and military horses, and they were killed by me in vain! ”

Everyone was quite depressed when they were frustrated! Pang Lin looked at the crowd: "Since we can't take the fortress, we also have to make a big noise and share the pressure of General Ma Chao!" Eighteen thousand horses were driven over, divided into four teams to drive them around the clock, and made a great noise to frighten Cao's army!

I personally led 4,000 soldiers and horses to ambush in the mountains, and the Cao army dared to go out to fight, attacking with cavalry head-on, and I would cut off its rear road! "The people took the command.

Cao Pi's camp, Cao Jun reported that Cao Jun had shot more than 50 people in the village!

After hearing this, Cao Pi's face was gloomy and said, "Where did the Han army come from!" From the direction of Qishan? Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, didn't they report that the entire territory of Longshang was controlled except for Ji County?

Qishan Fort is in the hands of our army, how dare the Han army kill along Qishan? If Qishan Fort is here, will they dare? ”

Cao Jun was so frightened that he trembled and said, "King, the little man doesn't know!" ”

Liu Ye waved his hand and said, "Wait outside the tent!" "Cao Jun was amnesty, and hurried out of the account!

Liu Ye turned to Cao Pi and said: "King, the battle situation is changing rapidly, and no one can say what happened in Longyou!" It's no surprise that there are changes! ”

Cao Pi said coldly: "The king understands the truth!" But isn't this changing too fast! Now that the war has been going on for three months, there are no people in Anding County, and the Han army has not defended it! Longyou only won less than two of the four counties.

The king's 100,000 people confronted Liu Bei here, and sent 100,000 soldiers and horses to Longyou, plus Zhang He, Yu Ban and other reinforcements, adding up to 130,000, the grain road is long, and the path is dangerous!

Liu Bei has that barbarian thief (Wudang Feijun) cutting trees, digging mountains and pushing rocks to delay the transportation of grain and grass for our army. Didn't you sneak attack the grain cart half a month ago, and burn this king, I remember that there can be seventy or eighty cars!

From Chang'an Zijie Pavilion to Tianshui County, there is no thief army to attack and disturb, but what a long grain road! In order to transport grain, the people in Guanzhong used it, and there can be 300,000! Guanzhong's savings are about to be drained! Take the other two counties in three months, and the Central Plains will also be consumed!

There is also Liangzhou to attack, Cao Ren and they don't hurry up to attack the city and break the thieves, pull out the city and level the Kou, and the quick battle will be dragged on! Do you want Liu Bei's life or the life of this king! ”

Dong Zhao persuaded: "King, this is expected! When the first king was conquering Hanzhong, he once sighed at Yangpingguan, 'If I knew that this place was so sinister, I would not have sent troops'.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Bei will neglect to take precautions and order us to take the whole county of Yinping and surround the city! Then open the way and enter Longyou! Otherwise, with Liu Bei's talent, if we don't rely on the inevitable heavy defense, we may not have such a good opportunity! ”

Cao Pi smiled and said: "Liu Bei is known as the opponent of the first king, and since I fought against him, I have broken several formations and beheaded tens of thousands!" It can be seen that Liu Beitu has some false names! ”

Cao Pi then asked: "Gongren, Ziyang, Liu Bei is stuck here, I can't help it!" But the thief army came from Longyou, could it be that Cao Ren and they were defeated? ”

Liu Ye and Dong Zhao glanced at each other, and Dong Zhao said: "Don't worry, the king expects that the Han army will be too small to win a big victory!" Our army marched step by step and made no mistakes! Now that the wheat is ripe, as long as the wheat is harvested, the grain and grass can be solved!

The so-called elimination of one and the other, our army will have no food if it has food, and the thief army will have no food, and it will be defeated without a fight! As for the thief army that came from Qishan, the number of ministers is limited! The king can send troops to test the truth and make plans! ”

Cao Pixi said: "Reasonable, reasonable!" That's it! Hold on a little longer! "Cao Pi ordered Xu Huang and others to lead troops to reinforce Dailing, and choose the opportunity to send troops to test the Han army outside the village!

The next day, Xu Huang sent someone to report, and the sound of the thieves' horses' hooves continued, and the night never stopped! I sent someone to find out if there was any return! It is expected that the thief army must have cavalry, but the number is unknown!

Cao Pi was greatly surprised and worried about the Longyou war! Liu Yejin said: "Since the thief army has a large group of cavalry, the grain and grass consumed must be huge, but it can't be held out!" Send strange soldiers around the rear to cut off the enemy's food and grass!

There are many mountains north of Baishui Mountain, and the mountain can be used to prevent the cavalry from entanglement, and you can return safely after running out of food! When the thieves run out of food, then cover up and kill! If you have done all the work, you can ask about the battle situation of Longyou! ”

Cao Pi from Liu Ye's plan! Looking at the map, I found that Cao Zhen was stationed in Yinping County, and there was a mountain road to detour, but it was necessary to start from Yinping!

Cao Pi was anxious to win, and he was even more anxious to defeat the Han army as soon as possible, and after finishing the battle of Longyou, he sent Zhu Ling to give an order, and assisted Cao Zhen to lead the troops to the nearest place to cut off food! Ma Chao took the opportunity to come from the middle of the city, broke through the two villages, and the soldiers were in Yinping, only Zhu Zan was in the city, and there was no Cao Zhen!

Cao Zhen had just left Yinping for a day, and was shocked when he received Zhu Zan's messenger, and threw the cloth to the ground: "What a sound!" I neglected to garrison the middle of the house, so that Ma Chao had a chance! The two guards are all waste, and the three orders and five Shen strict defenses are easily broken! Hateful! ”

Cao Zhen ordered half of the soldiers and horses to be distributed to Zhu Ling, and sent guides to continue to go to cut off food! Cao Zhen said to Zhu Ling carefully: "I wanted to go with General Zhu to cut off food, but Yinping was attacked, and I need to return!"

Once Ma Chao and Liu Bei break through our fortress before and after, and the army enters Qishan, our army's three-month struggle will come to naught! The guide is a reliable man, and the general can follow his command and go to the thief to cut off food! ”

Zhu Lingying said: "General Cao will go by himself, and the last general will complete the king's order!" And rest assured! The two broke up.

What Cao Jun didn't know was that the Han army didn't have the so-called grain and grass hoarding at all, and all they ate was dry food they brought!

Pang Lin did not break through the fortress, in order to last a few more days and wait for changes, he ate frugally and hunted everywhere! Cut grass and cut branches, peel off the bark and use it as fodder for horses! The Han army really suffered, and the horses lost fat even more! Many horses were sick and could not be cured, so they were killed as military rations! It really makes Pang Lin feel distressed!

Cao Zhen returned to Yinping, and on the way he thought hard about a plan to defeat Ma Chao, and Zhu Zan reported that Ma Chao was all cavalry, and the number was unknown!

Cao Zhen didn't dare to make inferences, and he didn't dare to rashly fight in the field for the time being, so as not to be broken by the cavalry! After thinking about it for a long time, he sent a team of envoys to the strong end of the Yin Ping Di King!

After Ma Chaoyao Wu leveled the city, he interrogated the captured Cao Jundu lieutenant and lieutenant, and learned Cao Zhen's approximate deployment.

In the past, Cao Zhen set up three fortresses in Jiashan Pass, Feiyue Valley, and Tiger Cliff to organize Liu Bei, and later in order to lure Liu Bei, he pretended to give up Jiashan Pass and Feiyue Valley! The Han army took advantage of the situation to win two! (See Chapter 97 for details)

Now if you take the Tiger Cliff Fortress, you can open up Yinping and lead to Qishan! Ma Chao led his troops to Tiger Cliff, and Cao General Qin Liang had already been warned by Zhu Zan and firmly held the pass!

Ma Chao tentatively attacked and found that the Cao army occupied a favorable location, with sharp bows and crossbows, and there was no gap to take advantage of! He was releasing wolf smoke and shouting loudly at Tiger Cliff, hoping that the Han army on the other side could see it and attack Tiger Cliff with himself!

Flying over the valley guards were Ma Dai and Zong Pre, and when the Han army saw the wolf smoke, the two thought it was Cao Jun's deception and ignored it!

Ma Chao waited for a day, but he didn't see any movement of the Han army on the other side, and he was quite disappointed. Ma Chao was afraid to set up a camp to recruit Cao's army to besiege him, leave Tiger Cliff, and choose mountains and forests to hide his body!
