Chapter 2 Street Pavilion

What was it like to be the first commander of the army?

For Ma Tan, I don't feel anything, and I haven't been tired of playing a P club game.

Zhuge Liang transferred 10,000 soldiers and horses to him at one time, and Wang Ping as a deputy general. After him, Wei Yan and Gao Xiang led the partial army to sit nearby as a caretaker.

Before leaving, Zhuge Liang also told Ma Jian many times that when he arrived at the street pavilion, he only needed to stick to the pass and not go out. Zhang He has 50,000 soldiers and horses, Ma Tan only needs to guard the street pavilion for a month, and Zhuge Liang will not blame him for losing the street pavilion after a month.

This posture is very similar to the team boss playing a game, and the four kings have bronze brush experience.

Fortunately, he is a traverser and has foresight, if he changes to an honest person to come to this street pavilion, he will be able to defend it.

"General, the last general Wang Ping."

"The last general, Fawang, has seen the general!"

"The last general has seen the general!"

"Captain Yao Hu, see the general!"

There are now three captains under Ma Yan, together with the deputy general Wang Ping, who commands more than 10,000 Shu troops.

"Generals, please get up, there will be generals in the next battle of Jieting." Ma Jian arched his hand and saluted a few lieutenants in a calm tone.

"This is the first time to command the troops, please forgive me if there are any omissions."

Ma Yan's calm attitude made several lieutenants and even Wang Ping stunned for a moment.

Usually, Ma Tan is rumored to be very high-minded in the military camp, and he looks down on the generals because he is Zhuge Liang's cronies. Even Wei Yan, the old minister of the first emperor, had a lot of contradictions with him, and the relationship between them was very stiff.

Now it seems that the rumors in the army still can't be counted, and this general Ma is not to blame.

After packing up, Ma Jian set off with 10,000 soldiers and horses.

The street pavilion is located in the easternmost part of Longxi and is the gateway to Longxi in Guanzhong.

If this place is controlled by the Shu army, then the entire Longxi is in the bag of Shu Han. Once lost, then the Wei State could continuously send power from the street pavilion into Longxi, and eventually drag down the Shu State.

And Ma Tan's task is to hold this place for a month and delay time for Zhuge Liang to conquer the entire Longxi.

After a few days of marching, Ma Tan came to this fateful place.

Jieting is a valley in the middle of a mountain group, with high mountains on both sides, and the mountain road is steep and difficult to navigate. However, the valley was not as narrow as it might seem, and it was wide enough for tens of thousands of troops to spread.

But in the middle of this valley, an ancient city was built, which was called Jiequan Pavilion City, or Jieting for short.

Although Jieting City is an ancient city, and it has been an empty city in the northwest for many years, it still looks very solid.

By the way, there is also a spring in the city, and even the layman feels that this is an ideal place for the garrison to defend.

"With such a good advantage, if I didn't know the result in advance, I was afraid that it would be difficult to lose." Ma Tan rode on the horse, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Just when Ma Jian was thinking, Wang Ping returned to the Chinese army from the front army and said to Ma Jian Gong.

"General, it's not too early, we have to go into the city as soon as possible to rest."

"We will not enter the city, let the whole army go up the mountain, and camp on that mountain today!" Ma Tan nodded, pointed to the highest mountain not far away, and ordered.

"Camp up the mountain?" Wang Ping was stunned for a moment and asked in disbelief.

"General, that mountain knows that there is no water source at a glance, and if the Wei army cuts off our water source when we are stationed on the mountain, we will collapse without a fight!"

"It is only appropriate that we should go down to the village in accordance with the prime minister's order and be stationed in the street pavilion city."

"Afraid of what? Haven't you heard of condescending and overwhelming? Our army is stationed in the mountains, and the condescending charge is enough to crush the Wei army, how can they have the ability to surround us? Ma Tan smiled confidently, revealing a smile that was under control.

Now he's just a bald head!

"If we go down to the village, our army will be surrounded in the city and will be weak, and we may not be able to block the offensive of the Wei army."

After listening to Ma Yan's remarks, Wang Ping's heart suddenly cooled.

This general is more unreliable than he imagined, and he doesn't even know some basic understanding of marching and fighting.

There are not many plants on the mountain that Ma Tan pointed to, so it can be seen that there is no water source on it at all. Without a natural water source, how can you sustain a month with only the water that the soldiers themselves carry?

After two days of water cut, the Shu army will definitely collapse!

"A certain pleads with the general to take back the order! This move is to push more than 10,000 people to death! Wang Ping hurriedly saluted Ma Jian and repeatedly begged Ma Jian not to be stupid.

"What you said makes sense, I'll think about it, but now go and carry out the order, I have my own arrangements!" Ma Tan waved his hand, showing the advantages of listening to persuasion and the shortcomings of not changing to the fullest.

Wang Pingqi's face darkened, thinking that it was the first time he had met a boss who was so stubborn and so stubborn after so many years of fighting.

Prime Minister, you are creating evil!

"If the general has to do this, a certain person is willing to lead the headquarters to be stationed at the foot of the mountain, and the general is a horn." Wang Ping arched his hand, and his tone became cold.

Wang Ping's suggestion Ma Jian thought about it, and he vaguely remembered that Wang Ping did divide his troops at the foot of the mountain.

Since this is the case in history, let's do it, in case it triggers some chain reaction that causes you to not die.

"Yes, I'll give you 3,000 soldiers and horses, and you can garrison them in Jieting City." Ma Jian nodded and agreed to Wang Ping's request.

A few days later, one evening, Zhang Hezheng led 50,000 Wei troops to appear on Longdao, and rushed to the street pavilion day and night.

It was a very bad year for the Wei army. The Shu Han regime, which had been silent for eight years, suddenly attacked in this year, and launched the Northern Expedition with all its might.

The Shu army and horses appeared in Qishan on the Baochuan Road, and Mengda in the new city held high the anti-flag. Although it was urgently pacified by Sima Yi, it also made the people in Guanzhong panic.

At this time, the number of Shu troops in the direction of the Baochuan Road was unknown, and for the sake of prudence, the general Cao Zhen had already led the central army to resist. And Zhang He led 50,000 soldiers and horses to aid Longxi to save Longxi, which had fallen as if it had become a fact.

"General Zhang, we have been marching for several days, and the soldiers need to rest." An adjutant general rode a horse to catch up with Zhang He, who was at the front of the team, and panted and proposed to Zhang He.

"Now the horses are tired, and even if we rush to Longxi in this state, we can't beat the Shu army."

"Go to the street pavilion and rest again." Zhang He saw the tired looks of the soldiers in the afterglow, but he shook his head lightly and said.

Zhang He also has his own considerations, and the Shu army will definitely consider the plan to break the dragon if he counts so much. And whether it can break Long, Lüyang City is the key, so Lüyang must be guarded by the Shu army.

He followed this road to the vicinity of the street pavilion, and rested for a day just to build siege equipment to besiege Luoyang.

After all, there is not much time left for him, and if he goes late, it is estimated that he can only collect Guo Huaigaogang's body.

As the last rays of sunlight faded in the west, it was getting dark.

This night, there is no moon!
