Zhao Yun deliberately blocked the roads and paths, with the cooperation of Yang Tiao and other officials who settled and surrendered to Chengcheng, the effect was excellent, Xinping County was too guarded by Yuan Shan without noticing, compared to the tens of thousands of troops stationed in Anding County, Xinping County is considered a hinterland, with only two counties under its jurisdiction, and few soldiers, so the only concern is the proximity of Wei Fuqiang's guards, if it is detected, it is not easy to break the city.

Zhao Yun pretended to be Cao's army to transport soldiers and horses, carrying hundreds of carts, hiding most of the weapons in the carts, only 500 soldiers and horses and 2,000 people on the surface, and the elite cavalry marched day and night under the guidance of the guide, keeping a distance to follow up.

With the proof of stability and the cooperation of Xintou Cheng and Shi Wufang, the chief of Xintou Cheng and Ding, he arrived in Qi County, Xinpingzhi Institute unimpeded.

Xinping Taishou Yuan Shan was very surprised to read the letter, and looked at the so-called so-called in his hand in order to appease the relocated people, give winter clothes to calm people's hearts, because of the lack of cloth, kudzu and other things, he came to pray.

Yuan Shanqi said: It is His Majesty's order to relocate the people, and when he moves his own houses and land to be compensated, how can Zou Taishou promise other benefits and increase the burden.

Wu Fang hurriedly explained: The reason for the forgiveness of sins is that His Majesty ascended the throne, and everything was delayed.

Now that the Spring Festival has just passed, relatives and friends have just reunited and ordered them to separate, and the people will inevitably rumor that they are too unkind, afraid that it is not easy to govern.

Unexpectedly, the county used to prepare for His Majesty's accession to the throne and change the Han name to Wei, rush to make flags, etc., in addition, there are all kinds of needs, so the cloth is insufficient, so I came to pray, and the people's peace of mind is good to start as soon as possible.

Yuan Shan said again: I see, I can inform Ben Taishou of this matter in advance, and I will send someone to send it, so why do I need to recruit some people.

The county is uneasy because of the relocation of the people, and the cold weather will send troops and horses, and the requisition of people to buy cloth will inevitably make the county defenders and the people complain!

Wu Fang hurriedly said: Zou Taishou Lin Xing instructed the villain, apologized repeatedly for disturbing Taishou, how dare he bother Taishou to send someone to send it in person.

Seeing that Zou Qi gave himself face, Yuan Shan was overjoyed, read the documents carefully, and promised to come down and transfer cloth and kudzu hemp from the warehouse.

However, Yuan Shan closed the city after dark because it was getting late, and he was ready to transfer it again the next day! The sergeants and men are stationed outside the city, do not enter the city to cause chaos, and wait until tomorrow morning to march into the city! At dawn, he sent someone to transfer the amount required by Zou Taishou and finished the transportation!

Wu Fang was speechless for a while, what Yuan Shan said was reasonable, and it was not easy to speak. And the agreement with Zhao Yun was to enter the city on the same day, and the cavalry would follow up, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun sent the pretense to be the stability lord Bo Dingen was in a hurry, and if he was in a hurry tomorrow morning, he would have delayed time, and now that it was dark early, it was better to prepare in advance, and I implored him to take fifty people to the warehouse in the city to check and understand the cloth, and the plan was clear, and he would directly carry it tomorrow morning, and promise not to cause trouble.

Yuan Shan did not doubt that he had him, thought that it was reasonable, and should accept it, and sent several cronies to send some firewood and rice to everyone outside the city to express their feelings, and then lead good people to go to the warehouse together.

After returning to the outside of the city, Zhao Yun first captured several Xinping officials and officials who were sent by Yuan Shan to Wu Fang and Ding En, and searched for the cloth and distribution documents.

Zhao Yun deliberately delayed until it was nearly late, and the city gate was about to close, and Wu Fang and Ding En led fifty elites to rush to the city gate with documents, and then pretended to be a vehicle coming immediately behind, imploring that the city gate be closed later, and bribing more gold and silver, and issuing documents stamped with the seal of Taishou.

The city gate lieutenant got the gold and silver, and there was a too shou clerk who was not afraid of being responsible afterwards, Wu Fang and Ding En chatted with the city gate lieutenant on the one hand, and the fifty Han army elites gradually dispersed.

Everyone started together, and the Wei army at the city gate was caught off guard, and was killed and knocked to the ground, and the Han army behind followed closely behind, breaking into the city in one fell swoop.

Yuan Shan learned that it was too late to change in the city, so he had to defend the Taishou Mansion to the death, Zhao Yun saw that the Taishou Mansion was prepared, and he was not in a hurry to attack, so he surrounded the Taishou Mansion and cleared the defenders in the city.

After concentrating on the attack, set fire to the gate of the Taishou Mansion and attacked, Yuan Shan was captured to know that An Ding had changed, Zou Qi was captured, and all the soldiers and horses of Anding were trapped, and Zhao Yun sent Yuan Shan to Jingyuan to meet Zou Qi.

Xinping County has two counties under its jurisdiction, Zhao Yun took the capital of Xinping County, Qi County is almost equivalent to taking the entire county, Liu Ba acted quickly, sent Cheng Yi to lead 3,000 cavalry and a group of officials to take over the two newly captured counties, quickly stabilized the situation and military morale, and went to Chengdu to report the victory.

After Ma Liang finished speaking, Guan Yu and Pang Tong were all excited, how to say that Zhao Yun's meritorious service had the effect of containing himself, and he felt a little better in his heart.

Pang Tong asked: "What is the current situation in Guanzhong, and how do Xiahou Yuan and Zhang react?" ”

Ma Liang said helplessly: "I don't know, when I came, I heard that the lord had revoked Jingyuan County and merged it into Anding County, and Li Hui was still the Taishou." Xinping County transferred Zhou to be the Taishou and led the troops and horses to garrison, and Tianshui County was taken over by Liao Li, the Taishou of Nan'an, and it seemed that the king was looking for an opportunity to use Liao Li. As for the use of troops, I don't know the details, it's a matter of confidentiality, but dig deeper! ”

Guan Yu approvingly: "It should be so!" ”

Ma Liang said: "The king has issued a royal order, after the spring ploughing is completed, all the men over the age of 16 and under the age of 55 will be trained, and all villages and counties have sent tun chiefs and school captains, and the king has sent additional soldiers and horses to Hanzhong, and the two rivers have been fully prepared for war. ”

Pang Tong said: "It seems that the king attaches enough importance to our words, after all, Cao Pi is definitely unwilling, the war between the two parties is a matter of time, and they almost received the king's order when they come to Liangzhou Huangquan."

By the way, Ji Chang, does the king over there have any plans? ”

Ma Liang said: "I haven't heard of this, since Shiyuan said it, when I return to see the king, I will report and prepare early!" ”

Pang Tong said: "The best, the gap between us and Cao Pi is not small after all, which side Jiangdong Sun Quan stands on is too important to us, we must be cautious!" ”

Ma Liang agreed and continued: "When I came, the king also instructed me to do something, saying that if Gan Ning was better, he would follow me into Sichuan with Ling Bao and meet the king, and the king would discuss important matters!" ”

Guan Yuqi said: "Lingbao entered Sichuan Bacheng because he was transferred to be the governor of the navy and army to be appeased in detail, why can Xingba enter Sichuan?" ”

Pang Tong also didn't know why, Ma Liang said: "The king thought that Gan Ning was short-tempered, brave and brave, proficient in two battles, and rarely defeated in many years of campaigning, and the Northern Expedition led the main force to be defeated suddenly, and his character must be angry in his heart, if he is allowed to blindly recuperate from his injuries, it is easy to make him angry."

Therefore, the king first arranged the cause to calm his heart and soothe his wounds, and then comfort him when he arrived in Chengdu, so as to cheer up his mind and fight again. In addition, listening to the king's tone, it seems that something is indeed wrong! ”

Pang Tong sighed with emotion: "The king is really careful, and we have never thought of this." ”

Guan Yu also said busily: "In this case, don't stay here for a long time, and work hard to see Xingba in Jiangling!" ”

Ma Liang got up and said, "What is the matter!" "I left at the moment and went to talk to Gan Ning in detail.

After more than ten days, the situation in the north improved, and the fine work in Nanyang City returned to Fancheng one after another, bringing back the news: Xiahou Shang and Cao Xiu were seen in Nanyang City, and there were many barracks outside the city before, so it was judged that the number of troops was nearly 100,000.

Now the barracks outside the city have been withdrawn, and the soldiers and horses have left one after another under the leadership of Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Yu Ban, Zhang He, etc., and they don't know where to go.

After listening to what he said, Guan Yu ordered his subordinates to take them to receive the reward, and said to Pang Tong: "Shiyuan, the Wei army dispersed in a hurry, I'm afraid there is fraud!" ”

Pang Tong said: "Very few of the fine works sent back before, and too many of the fine works sent back recently, even if the Wei army lifts martial law, it will not be so useless, it seems to be completely indifferent, as if it is deliberately trying to make us get the news."

Zhao Yun broke the two counties in a row, but the actual sum is only six counties, Cao Pi will never transfer the soldiers and horses gathered in Nanyang because of this matter, the incident is abnormal, and he can't be careless! ”

Guan Yu thought for a while and said: "No matter what the Wei army does, whether it wants to pretend to slow down our army's heart or bluff, no matter what Cao Pi's deployment is and what his purpose is, our army only needs to prepare for war and protect Jing, so as not to respond to all changes."

The Wei army went south to fight, not to go south, the newly recruited soldiers and horses are waiting to be trained, the warships, equipment, and armor are added to supplement, and the city is reinforced with bricks! ”

Pang Tong said with a smile: "Yes, why bother to guess Cao Pi's thoughts, but we still need to pay attention to the movements of the Wei army in the north, as well as the news of the advance Han Ran, Bai Shou and others, since Nanyang has been released, it is just time to send more detailed work to the north to investigate!" Han Ran and Bai Shou are alone in the north, and the situation is not good, I hope they haven't raised anything yet, and they will quickly return to Jingzhou when they get the news of our army, otherwise they will hit the stone with an egg and have no intention of dying! ”

Guan Yu was silent for a long time and said: "Even if you exhaust the Northern Wei army, consuming Cao Pi's energy is also contributing to the Han Dynasty, how can it be in vain!" Pang Tong stopped talking when he heard this, and looked north.
