Medium.

Jiang Wei personally led the army, set off from Yuzhong, and headed in the direction of Lintao.

That's right, the destination is still that Lintao.

At this moment, Jiang Wei was observing the cavalry scouts in the distance.

These cavalrymen, all dressed in the clothes of the Hu people, galloped back and forth in the distance.

These are the Qiang people in Shu, just near Yuzhong, there is a Qiang Road in Shu, that is, Qiang County, Jiang Wei recruited more than a thousand cavalry from here.

Jiang Wei recruited these people entirely to deal with those Qiang people in Yongliang.

In fact, Jiang Wei also has a certain appeal in Liangzhou, mainly because Jiang Wei's family is also one of the big families in Liangzhou, the Jiang family in Jicheng, which is famous.

Many officials in Liangzhou are related to Jiang Wei.

And the strange thing is that the Qiang people are very fond of celebrities.

Jiang Wei specially brought the Qiang people this time, and he needed to use these Qiang people to get in touch with those tribes in Yongliang as soon as possible and get their help.

The general Hu Ji who accompanied him on the expedition, at this moment, Hu Ji was promoted from the general of Zhenxi to the general of the hussars.

But in front of the general, he is still a little inadequate.

Jiang Wei was also able to be promoted frequently after the defeat, and there was a reason for this.

Mainly because of the limited official position, if he doesn't go up, others won't be able to come up.

Let's just say that if Jiang Wei is a Wei general, then these people who fought with him dare to rise to the ranks of the three major generals?

Xiahou Ba Na is still a chariot general by virtue of his relative.

Therefore, Jiang Wei must continue to be promoted, so that the people under his command who are not as good as him can continue to be promoted.

Hu Jike is an old man.

He is a native of Jingzhou, and he was Zhuge Liang's chief secretary at the beginning, and his relationship with Zhuge Liang was extremely close.

He is honest and dares to tell the truth, so he is loved by Zhuge Liang, who attaches great importance to him and has been promoted repeatedly.

Later, he also impeached Li Yan with Zhuge Liang.

After Jiang Weisheng became a general, he also rose from the position of general of Zhenxi to general of hussars.

He is also an important member of the Hanzhong defense line, and he is still modest, and Jiang Wei does not dare to say that he can stabilize him.

His outspoken personality was very popular with Zhuge Liang at the beginning, but now, it makes Jiang Wei a headache.

When Hu Ji appeared beside Jiang Wei with a serious face, Jiang Wei knew that trouble was coming.

Hu Ji is one of the few people who is not afraid of Jiang Wei.

He jumped off his horse and walked quickly in front of Jiang Wei, surrounded by several armor soldiers.

"General!!"

"General Hu."

Jiang Wei still made a very close appearance, although Jiang Wei is a general, but in the face of this disciplined general, he does not dare to be too rude.

Jiang Wei is like Hu Zun, and Hu Ji is like Shi Bao, one is the nominal supreme commander, and the other is the emperor's day.

Hu Ji raised his head and immediately asked: "General, Hanzhong's troops are seriously insufficient, and if such a large army is used to Liangzhou at this moment, if it causes disaster?"

Jiang Wei said very confidently: "General Hu, please don't worry. ”

"Since I dare to send troops, I have thought about these things."

"Now that Yongliang is in civil strife, I grew up in Liangzhou since I was a child, and I know best about the Qiang rebellion, this is not something that can be calmed down in the short term."

"The Wei people are so ferocious, persecuting the people, causing chaos in Liangzhou, we must not miss this good opportunity!"

Jiang Wei's face appeared with a smile again, with anticipation in his eyes.

Seeing Jiang Wei's appearance, Hu Ji's face became more and more serious.

Jiang Wei's current performance is like a person who is about to drown, grasping a straw, no matter what, he has to hold on to it, and he is unwilling to let go.

Hu Ji sighed and reminded: "I know that the general is a person from Jicheng, but, general, the situation today is different from the past, if we are in a stalemate with the thieves, then Wang Ji"

Jiang Wei came back to his senses at this time, and the expectation on his face disappeared without a trace.

"You don't have to worry, it is impossible for Wang Ji to break through Yong'an in a short period of time, it is because Wang Ji's troops are in Yong'an, so we need to make some achievements, as long as we win here, Wang Ji will definitely retreat without a fight."

Jiang Wei saw the reluctant Hu Ji, so he had to say his strategic idea.

"I know that Cao Thief is powerful, this time I go out to fight, I mostly ride lightly, after going to Yongliang, we can send more people to contact the Qiang Department, and get in touch with them Yongliang has more than 100,000 Qiang people, and the rest of the miscellaneous Hu are countless, if we can gather them to our command"

The more Jiang Wei spoke, the more excited he became.

"With such a force, we can even provoke the entire Liangzhou, once Liangzhou starts to revolt, then Yongzhou will be breached, and it will only be overnight."

Jiang Wei said his thoughts with great interest.

Hu Ji couldn't help but think about it now.

Speaking of which, Jiang Wei really didn't bring too many people this time, and Jiang Wei and Hu Ji's army combined were only more than 30,000 people.

Of course, it is not appropriate to draw any more troops, and it will be empty in Hanzhong if it is drawn again.

If, as Jiang Wei said, they can really win over many Qianghu, it will really be a huge boost to the national strength of Shu, and besides, they can also use their influence in Liangzhou to set off greater turmoil.

Hu Ji seems to have been persuaded by Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei and Hu Ji sent troops from two places, Jiang Wei's purpose was to go straight to Lintao, get in touch with many Qiang Hu here, absorb them to his side, and form an anti-Cao thief circle in this area.

Hu Ji's task was different, he had to send troops from Yuzhong to the northeast, and he was responsible for intercepting the Cao thief army coming from the direction of Shangqi, creating a greater opportunity for Jiang Wei to absorb enough Hu troops.

The two had a clear division of labor, and soon each led his troops away.

Jiang Wei led the main army of more than 20,000 people and slaughtered towards Lintao.

This is where Jiang Wei suffered a big loss last time, and he wants to get back to the field this time.

Every time Cao Wei fought with Jiang Wei, he would adopt a very disgusting tactic, take the initiative to give up some checkpoints, compress the troops into important cities, and then form guerrillas outside, constantly consuming Jiang Wei's food and baggage, dragging down Jiang Wei's logistics, so that Jiang Wei could not take any advantage.

This time was no exception, when Jiang Wei's army left the border, Cao Thief once again took the initiative to abandon the checkpoint and began to entangle the army.

But Jiang Wei was not angry this time, he was very happy to start driving straight in, he wanted to rush to Lintao as fast as possible, use the army of the Hu people to break through this city, and open the door to Liangzhou!!

Things went far more smoothly than Jiang Wei thought, he didn't encounter any decent resistance along the way, and even encountered some Qiang people who were beaten away.

These people were routed, some in the hundreds, if not in the dozens.

But Jiang Wei met with them very ceremoniously, and told him that he came this time to help them, and to attack Cao Thief with them and so on.

The news of Jiang Wei's arrival quickly spread in Liangzhou.

Jiang Wei asked the Qiang people who followed him to divide into small armies, and quickly went to various parts of Liangzhou, and informed the Qiang and Hu tribes that he was going to Lintao, so that they could join him and attack the Cao thieves together.

He increased his speed again, and the army continued to approach Lintao.

At this time, Sima Wang also led the army to fortify around Lintao in advance, preparing to fight Jiang Wei

"General Zhenxi, why don't you let me go to the battle?!"

Pang Hui was standing in front of Deng Ai at the moment, looking very aggrieved.

In the face of Jiang Wei's attack, Deng Ai adopted a very negative attitude, and did not even allow his generals to go to reinforcements.

This caused dissatisfaction among the people.

But Deng Ai was not in a hurry at all, he looked at the map placed in front of him, and his eyes were fixed on Zhongzhong and Wujie.

He seemed to be waiting for something, and his fingers tapped lightly on the wooden case.

Only Pang will be very impatient.

At this moment, a soldier hurriedly ran in.

"General! Chen Gong is here!! ”

Deng Ai raised his head at this time, "Please come in." ”

Soon, Chen Qian hurriedly walked into the camp surrounded by a group of armor soldiers.

The two sides saluted and met, and Deng Ai ordered Pang Hui to report the military situation.

Chen Qian's purpose of coming this time is very simple, he is here to fight Jiang Wei.

Deng Ai was not good at speaking, and Pang Hui informed him of the current situation.

Chen Qian didn't talk nonsense, and looked at the map with his head down.

"In other words, Jiang Wei is already in Liangzhou at the moment, and Hu Ji is blocking reinforcements in the middle, and their rear is empty."

Deng Ai nodded.

Chen Qian looked at the map, looked at it for a moment, and then he laughed.

He understood Deng Ai's strategy.

"General Deng led the army to attack Huangzhong, and then let Zhuge Assassin Shi attack Wujie, if these two places can be captured, Jiang Wei will be trapped by us in Liangzhou, when the time comes, I will lead the Chinese army to attack Jiang Wei, and Jiang Wei will be annihilated in Liangzhou!"

"When will the troops be sent?!"

Chen Qian is worthy of being Cao Chao's military secretary, and without the slightest hesitation, he said a feasible strategy at a glance.

But Deng Ai shook his head.

"Chen, Chen, what Chen Shangshu said is not right."

"Zhuge Xu and I attacked Wujie in Yuzhong, but you didn't want to go to Liangzhou to attack Jiang Wei"

"Oh?"

"You, you're going to attack Hanzhong"

"At this moment, Han, Hanzhong's troops are very small, although Yangping Pass is strong, but there will be no more than 6,000 soldiers without Jiang Wei and others stationed, they can't withstand the fierce attack of the Chinese army."

The corners of Chen Qian's eyes trembled.

When he set off, he and Cao Chao had the same idea, they both felt that Deng Ai wanted to beat Jiang Wei, so he led the Chinese army to hurry over.

But at this moment, he suddenly discovered that Deng Ai didn't just want to beat Jiang Wei, his purpose was to take Hanzhong.

Even, if Jiang Wei is trapped in Liangzhou, he can even attack all the way to Chengdu, and there are no generals who can form an effective defense along the way.

If they reach the Sword Pavilion, then Wang Ji will not hesitate to attack.

Then it's not just a matter of taking Hanzhong, it's about destroying Shu!!

Chen Qian took a deep breath, he slowly raised his head and looked at Deng Ai in front of him.

He really couldn't see that the general in front of him, who looked like an old peasant, would have such ambitions
