After Liu Chan was in Ji County, there was basically no danger on the road.

Wherever the army passed, Cao Wei all looked forward to the wind and descended, and no one dared to stop the edge of the Han army.

In history, Cao Wei's soldiers and horses were still like this, not to mention that now Cao Pi is cutting down Wu, and this situation is also expected by Liu Chan.

The process of going to the street pavilion was very smooth, and Lao Liu and Zhuge Liang also sent small troops one after another after receiving Liu Chan's return.

And when he saw the street pavilion for the first time, Liu Chan confirmed that a statement in his previous life was wrong.

Some people say that there is no city in the street pavilion, and there is no danger to defend at all, so Ma Tan was forced to go up the mountain.

However, although the street pavilion city is small and a little simple, it is not a strong city, but there is still a city.

At the very least, it is absolutely not impossible to defend the city.

I still have time, and it is a bit difficult to build a new city on the flat ground in the summer, but it is not a problem to strengthen and repair it on the basis of the existing city wall of the street pavilion.

"It seems that Ma Tan is floating, Uncle Zhuge asked him to stop Zhang He and buy time for himself. But he wanted to wait for work with ease, fight low with high, and directly annihilate Zhang He in the field. ”

Liu Chan muttered to himself in a low voice, shook his head and said: "Abandoning the city to fight in the field is a taboo for soldiers, not to mention that the soldiers below are still unconvinced by you...... There are many problems, but we can not be defeated. ”

If these words reached the ears of his maternal uncle Wu Yi, who had just abandoned the city and fought in the field, it would probably make him very embarrassed.

"Prince, the repair and reinforcement of the city wall and the excavation of the trench have been properly assigned, and the ground can be started immediately when it is young and strong enough." Ding Feng reported with his fists cupped.

Deep ditches and high bases, first invincible, waiting for the enemy to win.

In the case of the enemy's large number of cavalry, this is actually the lowest cost of play, and it is also the reason why the street pavilion is important.

Liu Chan nodded and smiled: "Okay, our army will distribute rations to the servants every day, and then pay the wages in 100 yuan after completion...... Have these things been preached clearly? ”

"Someone has been told door-to-door, and I don't think I will miss it."

"Well, that's fine." Liu Chan looked at Ding Feng's expression and said with a smile, "Cheng Yuan, if you have any doubts, it's okay to talk about it." ”

Ding Feng hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Prince, we still have to resist Cao Wei's reinforcements, and it is a great favor not to forcibly recruit the food of the people of the enemy country." Why do we need to give out money and food? ”

This question is a long story, and Liu Chan intends to make a long story short first.

"Cheng Yuan, the people of Longyou, are they really the people of the enemy country?"

Ding Feng was stunned, wasn't he?

In fact, he doesn't have much obsession with the Han Dynasty, in his opinion, the Northern Expedition is different from the time when the Southern Central Rebellion was quelled, this is the land of Wei, and naturally it is the people of Wei.

"If I treat him as a soldier of an enemy country, he will treat me as a soldier of an enemy country." Liu Chan patted him on the shoulder, "It's easy to lose people's hearts, and it's so difficult to recover." ”

"Yes, I was taught." Ding Feng can understand what Liu Chan meant.

But he still felt that these things should be done after the winners and losers had been decided, and there was no need to be so gracious everywhere he went.

If the war is unfavorable and you are forced to retreat, won't all these things be done in vain? It became a wedding dress for others.

Liu Chan also saw his thoughts, but this kind of thing was not in a hurry.

One day in the future, when Ding Feng truly understands the source of the Red Star Army's unconventional strength, he may be able to understand his reasons for doing so.

"Go, hurry up and build fortifications, if Cao Jun's reinforcements dare to come here......" Liu Chan showed a confident smile, "and let him come and go!" ”

"Yes!" Ding Feng clenched his fists and left.

Ding Feng was responsible for building fortifications and reinforcing the city walls, Li Er was responsible for pacifying the people and preaching policies, and Meng Yan sent people to inspect the terrain and investigate hidden dangers.

Street Pavilion is gradually being built from a little-known small city into a bridgehead for the Han army.

However, in the face of everything in front of him, Zhang He, who was in Chencang, was still undecided.

After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne of Wei, he moved Zhang He to the left general, envoy to the festival, entered the capital of the township, and was named the marquis of Yan after ascending the throne.

Zhang He, who was Yuan Shaofang's general, was really not easy to get to where he is today.

He was not an indecisive man, but the situation was too critical today.

Cao Pi led the army outside, and the center was relatively empty, and the Sun and Liu families, who were originally on the same side because of the battle of Jingzhou, were allied again because of His Majesty's attack on Wu.

From learning that Sun Liu had regained the alliance to Liu Bei's Northern Expedition, the decisiveness of the decision and the speed of the dispatch of troops were beyond expectations.

The other party was only afraid that he had been prepared and had been waiting for such an opportunity.

Zhang He himself still has 20,000 soldiers and horses in Chencang, Chang'an and the surrounding guards of the soldiers and horses in important places, and there are more than 30,000 people.

Originally, although he had expected the Northern Expedition of the Shu Army, he was not worried.

These troops, coupled with the arrangements he made in the early stage, are more than enough to defend Xiongguan.

However, when the war really came, it was far from what Zhang He had deduced several times.

First of all, the Sanguan and Xieyu passes are both in an emergency.

Zhang Fei led his troops to attack the Sanguan Pass through Chencang Road, and Zhao Yun led his troops to attack the Xieyu Pass through the Bao Xiejiao Plank Road.

In particular, the front-line reported that Zhang Fei's army had more stone trucks, which was very powerful.

Although the terrain of Sanguan is not conducive to the full deployment of those stone wagons, its far superior range makes up for this to a certain extent.

Compared with Zhang Fei's strong attack, Zhao Yun's offensive at Xieyu Pass was much more cautious.

After Zhang He weighed it, he thought that Chen Cangdao should be the main direction of attack of the Shu army, and Zhao Yun of Bao Shudao should be a feint.

The north shall not be dispersed, and there is no way to draw Hanzhong; The south must not be dispersed, and there is no way to close the pass.

Xieyu Pass is lost, and there is Yixian, and Xieyu Pass is not as steep as Sanguan, and it is possible to recapture it.

Compared with the slope of the slope road, the risk of loss of the pass is more unbearable.

Zhang He sent 1,000 people to support Sanguan in advance, delivering arrows and other guarding materials to Sanguan, and at the same time arranging manpower to prepare for regular changes of defense to reduce the pressure on the Sanguan defenders.

Naturally, there is Yixian County on the Xieyu Pass side to inform Chang'an, and Xiahou Nan, who is sitting in Chang'an, will deal with it.

Although Xiahoudun's son ...... Although it's really a waste in terms of fighting, and he doesn't inherit his father's talent at all, it's not that he can't even handle this kind of defense.

However, at this time, Zhang He received another news like a thunderbolt from the sky.

Liu Bei personally led the army, with Prime Minister Zhuge Liang as the military advisor, Ma Chao led the partial army, and the prince Liu Chan personally led the troops as the vanguard, and went to Longyou through Qishan Road.

Qishan Fort Gao Gang was besieged, Xixian looked at the wind and surrendered, Guo Huai saw that the situation was not good, and gathered more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from all walks of life in advance to gather the army's heart, and retreated to Shangqi with Tianshui Taishou Mazun.

Nowadays, most of the five counties of Longyou are said to have fallen from the wind, and the specific situation is unknown.

Liu Chan led the army north, and his whereabouts were unknown, and Guo Huai speculated that it was likely to cut off Guanlong Avenue and block reinforcements!

The situation is urgent, please send troops to help General Zuo immediately, otherwise Longyou will not be protected!

This urgent military information sent along Weishui pierced Zhang He's heart like a sharp knife.

Now there is no need to think about which way Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are suspicious.

His mother is full of suspicious soldiers, and Liu Bei's side is the main force! Yizhou actually chose Longyou as the main direction of attack!

It is no wonder that Zhang He and others are defenseless, what they want in these years is arable land and population.

Longyou, and even Liangzhou, the land is barren and the population is scarce, and the value of the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan in Guanzhong is not as great as that of the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan in Guanzhong.

But they just beat themselves, caught themselves off guard, and took a wrong step.

Now that the situation in Longyou is rotten, Zhang Fei's side is still storming the pass at any cost, and it doesn't look like a feint at all.

Whether to risk saving Longyou or not has become a difficult problem in front of Zhang He.

It is not easy for him to survive to this day, and now His Majesty is far away in Jiangdong, this choice can only be made by him.

If you choose the wrong one, you will never recover.
