Duke Qi Cao Rong took advantage of his father's absence, not only did he interfere in politics without authorization, but even personally came west with the army, planning to sit in Chang'an, lest Xiahou Nan make any faint moves at a critical moment and spoil a big event.

However, although Chen Qun and others went with him with the army, they were not nominally the commander of the army.

The commander who supported was the Chang'an township marquis who stayed in the central government, and the rebellious general Wenpin.

Obviously, the courtiers also knew how serious it would be for Cao Pi to know if they allowed the Duke of Qi to take charge of the military power.

Even so, you can imagine how angry Cao Pi would be when he returned to the court, if he won a big victory in the battle of Wu, if he didn't take advantage of it......

But the situation is urgent, and when the important ministers of the court and the central government are undecided, Cao Rong must take a gamble.

What's more, Cao Pi has not established a prince for a long time, and recently it seems that he has plans to make Cao Li, who was born to Xu Ji, as his heir, even if he continues to be low-key and careful, I am afraid it will be difficult to change his mind.

Whether it is for the country or for private purposes, it is time to act.

also initiated the action, as well as Guo Huai and Zhang He.

After finding out that Liu Bei's main force had not yet launched an operation, Guo Huai left only 2,000 people to defend the city, and brazenly led the army to launch a surprise attack on Ji County.

Guo Yuanjun, who attacked lightly, did not intend to face the enemy head-on, as long as Jiang Wei was forced to ask Liu Chan for help, his goal would be achieved.

If Liu Bei divided his troops to find him for a field battle, or planned to attack Shangqi, he would immediately return to the army and retreat.

No matter how Liu Bei chooses, he only needs to send someone to keep an eye on the movements in Xixian County, which is sandwiched between Qishan Fort and Shangti.

Soldiers are coming to the city.

Guo Huai looked at the young general at the head of the city and was angry, as the history of Yongzhou Thorn, he knew about the Tianshui Jiang family, but he never put it in his eyes.

After all, compared to the Guo family, the Jiang family is nothing at all.

But this Jiang family, who is nothing, has ruined his big thing!

If the Jiang family can rely on Ji County to resist a little, and they can echo and cooperate with it in Shangqi, even if they can't leave Liu Chan here, at least they can slow him down the speed of going north.

Then Zhang He may arrive on the battlefield when Liu Chan's foothold is not stable!

Three thousand cavalry faced Liu Chan's infantry of no more than 10,000 people, and the field battle was just two words - crushing.

When the time comes, Liu Chan's vanguard will be defeated and the military road from Guanzhong to Longyou will be unblocked.

Then take the Luoyang Street Pavilion area as the rear, Ji County and Shangtai as the front line to confront Liu Bei's army!

The road to Qishan is difficult and remote, and it is inconvenient for Liu Bei's army to transport grain, how can it be compared with the Guanlong Avenue on his side? Over time, it will retreat.

If he insists on not retreating, as soon as the Central Plains reinforcements arrive, it will not be so easy for Liu Bei to retreat.

But all these beautiful dreams are now shattered......

It's all because of the soft bones of the city!

"Jiang Wei!" Guo Huai pointed like a sword, and pointed angrily at the head of the city, "Ru Jiang's family has been favored, and now he doesn't want to repay the service, but helps the rebels, what face does he still have in front of our army!"

"If you open the city as soon as possible and know your way back, you can still keep the incense of the Jiang family, if not...... On the day of the breakdown, in this Ji County, there are no chickens and dogs! ”

Guo Huai thought that the fierce intimidation would definitely make this junior cowardly, even if he couldn't get Ji County back, he should have sent someone to ask Liu Chan for help......

"Humph!" Unexpectedly, Jiang Wei was not moved at all, only sneered, and said from afar: "It is true that my Jiang family has received Long's grace, but it is not his Cao family's grace!"

"The Tianshui Jiang family has been on the border for the Han Dynasty for generations, and now Cao Pi usurps the Han Dynasty, which is a big rebellion! The children of my Jiang family returned to the Han Dynasty to fight Cao, and to beg the thieves for rebellion is exactly the act of serving the Han Dynasty. Is it any comparison with such aconciers as thou? ”

"You!" Guo Huai was angry with smoke in his nostrils, and he wanted to intimidate, but he was sprayed by a junior.

Without waiting for him to organize the words, Jiang Wei continued: "You claim to be orthodox, but you slaughter cities and exterminate the clan at every turn, and read the sage classics in vain!"

"On the other hand, my Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is benevolent and widespread, loves the people like a son, becomes a martial artist, and the world is in the heart! If you take off your armor and surrender, your majesty will be merciful, and you will not lose your position as a marquis, isn't it beautiful? ”

Guo Huai's chest rose and fell, and he pointed to the city: "You are a yellow-mouthed child, I ...... I ......"

"Hugh said more! I don't want to surrender, I just talk with knives and guns, twist and twist, and I don't have to look like a woman! ”

Jiang Wei said, and the soldiers above the city laughed, but they were not afraid in the face of enemy troops several times their size.

Not to mention the five hundred Red Star soldiers, although they are reserves, they are not comparable to ordinary soldiers.

Even if it is the other two thousand Han troops, they are the elites carefully selected by Lao Liu and Zhuge Liang for Liu Chan, they are all veterans who have seen blood, and they have never seen any scenes.

"That's it, if you want to fight, why bother talking!"

"I think you're scared, huh? If you're scared, go home and breastfeed! Hahaha......"

Guo Huai was angry and anxious, and the enemy's words were like knives, piercing his soft underbelly.

He can only deter here, Jiang Wei can't defend it, if he really fights, he can still leave if he wants to?

If Liu Bei's main force catches up, or loses Shangqi, it will be a big deal.

"Heh, and Rong Er will shout for a few more days, and when my Great Wei Heavenly Soldiers arrive, you won't regret it. Walk! Guo Huai didn't dare to attack after all, and after a cruel word, he walked away.

Walked away, but did not go far, still blocking the southbound passage of Ji County, avoiding Ji County from getting in touch with Liu Bei's main force.

After Guo Huai led his troops away, Jiang Wei stared at the direction of the Wei army outside the city, Guo Huai actually came out of Shangqi!

Jiang Wei seemed to see a big fat sheep, and walked in front of him with his ass dangling.

He is young and vigorous, how can he let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

……

Guo Huai is unwilling to storm Ji County, can Zhang He storm the street pavilion?

At least the street pavilion in front of him has made him completely lose the desire to attack......

"His grandmother has a leg, I remember that the street pavilion is not like this, right?"

Changing horses all the way and galloping, Zhang He, who hurried to the street pavilion, looked at the small town of the street pavilion in front of him, which had obviously been waiting for a long time, and couldn't help but scold the street in his heart.

Regarding the fact that Liu Chan had been blocked in the street pavilion, he had already expected that judging from the examples of battles in Jingzhou and other places, the other party would not even have this vision, but ......

That's, isn't it?!

The street pavilion in Zhang He's impression is just a broken city that can't make up a complete city wall on all sides.

That is, it is located in the northwest, and if it was in a rainy place in the Xiangfan area, I am afraid that it would have been washed away by the flood.

But now?

The city wall is more than three zhang high, and there are two moats outside the city, and there are antlers between the moats...... What's that thing above the city? Rhubarb?

He didn't think that Guo Huai could really hold Liu Chan back, but why don't you delay his time?

This kid can build the street pavilion into this appearance, let alone stay here for a month, right?! What are you eating?

Now think about the plan mentioned in Guo Huai's letter...... It's just a piece of shit.

"Whoever comes, but Zhang Junyi, General Zhang?" Liu Chan stood leisurely at the head of the city, and the two guards behind him fanned their fans.

"General Zhang has worked hard from afar, why don't you get off your horse and take off your armor and go into the city to rest?" I saw him raise a roasted leg of lamb with dripping oil in his left hand, pick up the leather wine bag in his right hand, and grinned, "Have you eaten it, together?" ”
