The Wei River can't go by big boats, and it can't go with a big army, but it's still not a problem to send a letter or something, and Guo Huai, who retreated to Shangqi, will not cut off contact with the outside world.

To put it mildly, choose this place to retreat, in case the war is unfavorable, he and a group of high-ranking officials can at least escape from Weishui to the east, so as not to be trapped in the city.

Guo Huai should not have been here, he, the assassin of Yongzhou, is usually in Chang'an to handle official business.

Considering that the work began in September, the annual inspection of the counties of Yongzhou was generally carried out in August.

However, the news of Cao Pi's decision to use troops against Eastern Wu made Guo Huai very uneasy.

If Shu Hanzheng was empty, it would be fine, but after a few big battles, they actually didn't have much casualties.

The movement of the army is equivalent to giving Shu Han an opportunity to take advantage of.

So Guo Huai began to inspect the counties of Yongzhou a whole month in advance, and the defense work was especially the top priority.

He was just in case, but he didn't expect the man to really come.

With his baby son Liu Chan, his baby adviser Zhuge Liang, and the comeback Ma Chao......

He is still unclear about the number of Liu Bei's troops, and there is news that Ma Chao threatened to have an army of 300,000.

It's nonsense, but even if it is reduced by ten times, the 30,000 Shu army is not something that Longyou can withstand with lax armament and the complex Qiang, Hu and Han nations.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Wudu to be lost and Yinping to be lost.

And Xixian, the key county town that communicates Shangtai and Qishan Fort, surrendered without a fight in the face of Liu Chan, and became the last heavy blow to defeat Longyou.

For a time, the county guards fled eastward, and the counties looked at the wind and fell, as if the sky had changed in an instant.

Even the Tianshui Jiang family voted for Shu Han not long ago!

Fortunately, he came in advance, otherwise Longyou was afraid that he would change hands in an instant, and even the current Guangwei County and Tianshui's Shangtai City would not be able to keep it.

And most of the soldiers who can fight have also been saved by him, and now as long as there are reinforcements, Longyou still has the strength to fight!

From the moment he arrived in Shangqi, he began to write letters for help to Zhang He of Chen Cang one after another.

But these letters are like stones sinking into the sea, and there is no answer to them.

It won't take that long to send a letter in Weishui.

That vassal and elegant guy must be scared!

Guo Jianshi, who was like thunder, suddenly turned into a master of desktop cleaning, and cordially greeted Zhang He's relatives by the way, among which female relatives are naturally the focus of care......

can be scolded and scolded, except to continue to write letters for help, there is nothing he can do.

If there were no reinforcements, it would be absolutely impossible for him to turn the tables on his own.

"Guo Yuanjun, Chen Canglai's secret letter."

Looking at the territory crossed out by Zhu Pen in front of the map, Guo Huai, who was sighing, immediately stood up and grabbed the bag in the other party's hand.

Take a look at it, and it's pretty brief.

It probably means that Guanzhong is also being stormed, and Qinchuan can't be lost for eight hundred miles, it's not that I don't want to send troops, but it's just that it's difficult for me.

But in public and private, I Zhang He can't put Guo Yuanjun, you are still in Longyou, no matter how difficult it is, I have to squeeze out troops to save you.

Hold on, I've done my best to get the elite cavalry under my command, and I'll set off soon, and it would be better if you could make some more movement on your side and attract the attention of my brother.

"Good! Hahahaha...... "Guo Huai, who had been frustrated for many days, slapped his palms and laughed out loud, scaring the messenger on the side.

Zhang He sent troops, although for some reason his attitude suddenly changed, but there was hope after all.

"Zhang He has exhausted the cavalry under his command, and there are roughly two or three thousand cavalry, if Liu Chan has not yet taken the city, he will definitely be able to break it.

"Even if you defend the city...... If you can cooperate with me and break Liu Bei's main force, you can also make that Liu Chan a lonely army! ”

Isn't that better?

Isn't it easy to make a move?

Guo Huai first excitedly recruited his generals: "How is the situation on the Qishan side?" ”

"Back to the envoy, the main force of Liu Bei's army is still besieging Qishan Fort, and at the same time, a number of small forces are sent into various parts of Longyou to surrender."

"Look at the geometry of people and horses?"

"Hmm...... According to the observation of the last general, Liu Bei's army should be more than 40,000, if you count Liu Chan's men and horses going north, or 50,000 or 60,000. Now there are still 30,000 people besieging Qishan Fort. ”

Thirty thousand.

Guo Huai paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

He still has 1,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 infantry.

If you want to make a move to attract your target to your side, you have two options at the moment.

Hit Tianshui, or hit West County.

No matter where these two places are fought, the outcome is already doomed, and even if they are really fought, they can't be defended, and of course he doesn't want to be able to hold them.

After thinking about it, Guo Huai still decided to fight Tianshui.

In Xixian County, it will only be Liu Bei's main force to rescue, and it will not play a role in covering Zhang He.

As for the Tianshui, as long as they cut off their southward passage and made them unable to ask for help from the south, they could only ask for help from the north, and the goal was achieved.

The ancients said that they would encircle the point to send reinforcements, but now he Guo Huai only needs to surround the points to avoid aid...... When someone comes, they run.

The only difficulty in this plan is to calculate the speed of Zhang He's aid, but Guo Huaijiu has been in the Western Military Region for a long time, and although he has been "sick" for a long time, this matter is still difficult for him.

"Gather all the generals and come to discuss the matter!" The plan has been decided, Guo Huai patted the map and ordered.

"Yes."

Guo Huai actually rarely makes dangerous moves, but the current situation is worrying, how can he make a big gain if he doesn't take risks?

If this battle can achieve the strategic goal, even if it can't counterattack Shu Han, at least it will hurt Liu Bei's vitality, and he can't slow down his vitality for several years.

If you can keep Liu Bei and Liu Chan here again...... Or even Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao.

Guo Yuanjun seems to have seen the high-ranking official Houlu beckoning to him, and the Guo family in Taiyuan will definitely take advantage of this battle to go further!

……

Just when Zhang He and Guo Huai were planning to launch a counteroffensive and recapture Longyou, a team of less than 100 people quietly entered Anding County.

Anding County is north of the Guanzhong Plain and northeast of Tianshui County.

After exiting from the street pavilion to the east, climb over the rugged mountain road, and then cross the Jing River is the stable land boundary.

There are many hills and few plains here, and all areas that produce little grain in these years can only be described by the word "chaos".

What's more, stability is also a state of mixed living of various ethnic groups, and there is also a strong group of bandits gathered here, which makes the situation here even more complicated.

The county guards of Anding County ran away, and the big clans in the county saw that the general trend of Longyou had gone, and they basically surrendered together with local officials.

The county guards can run, but the roots of them and the grassroots officials are here, but they can't run.

But they fell, but those bandits and Hu people did not express their position for the time being.

It was under this circumstance that this "fat sheep", which was bright and bright, full of people riding horses, and could smell the smell of money from afar, entered Lu Shuihu's sphere of influence.

The composition of the Lu Shuihu people is complex, but at present, the most powerful among them are still the Di people.

Yes, thanks to Boss Cao's vigorous demolition, the Di people near Hanzhong were all moved to Longyou.

Among them, the Di people of Anding County were absorbed by Lu Shuihu, and because of their fierce hearts, they gradually overwhelmed the other scattered Qiang Hu, occupied an absolute advantage, and won the position of Lu Shuihu's head.

This "fat sheep" cavalry team that stepped into the territory of Lushuihu had just walked more than ten miles before it was surrounded by a large number of shouting Lushuihu people.

It's just that their reaction surprised the leader of the Hu team.

In order to ensure that this fat sheep was taken, he dispatched nearly 2,000 people, which was almost half of Lu Shuihu's youth.

But these people on the other side, why don't they panic?

"Who are you?" This person couldn't figure out where the other party came from for a while, and didn't dare to act rashly, but just came out of the crowd and shouted lame Chinese.

The heavily armed cavalry, as if they had not heard, stood still on their horses.

The Hu man himself was a little panicked, swallowed his saliva, and was about to shout again, when a knight with a sword finally rode out on horseback.

"Take us to your leader, if the matter is delayed, you can't afford the consequences." The knight was calm to the point of indifference.

The big sword at the knight's waist was extraordinarily long, but the blade was quite narrow, which this Hu man had never seen before.

But what really surprised him was not this, but what this man said, it was actually their dialect, which was very pure.

This knight raised his head, and under the iron arm, it was a person who had not appeared in Liu Chan's army for many days, General Chixing-Li Er.
