Five days later, Liu Zhang, who led the army from Jixian County, successfully arrived at the city of Xiangwu in Longxi.

The final result is exactly the same as Ji County, with almost no defensive force, and the city was broken in a short time.

With a skeptical attitude, Liu Zhang went all the way north and captured Zhang County, Shouyang, and Angu successively.

Liu Zhang was very cautious, taking every step carefully in Longxi County.

Under such circumstances, it took only one month for the army to arrive at the Longxi County Government, under the city of Didao.

I thought that Didao, who was the ruler, would have a completely different resistance, but no one thought that Didao turned out to be an empty city!

Not only were there no defenders, there wasn't even a commoner in sight!

Liu Zhang stood outside the gate of Didao City, looking at the opened gate, he was even more puzzled.

"Hanyang County is gone, and Longxi County is gone... This Han Sui is really interesting, he just wanted to fight us in Jincheng!"

After Didao fell, even if the entire Longxi County was completely pacified, it could almost declare that Han Sui's forces had completely withdrawn from Longxi.

Although Longxi County is connected to Jincheng County, the two are separated by endless mountains, so there is no road to pass through.

Of course, for Han Sui who is familiar with the terrain, sending a small number of troops can still connect Jincheng County and Longxi County.

So when Liu Zhang confirmed that Han Sui gave up Hanyang County, Liu Zhang did not conclude that Han Sui also gave up Longxi.

However, with Didao's change of owner, it can almost be concluded that Han Sui gave up Longxi.

As long as Liu Zhang places an army of 10,000 in Didao, it will be enough to keep the smuggled enemy troops from Jincheng County out of the city, especially for the cavalry who are not good at attacking the city!

"Three military advisers, is it possible that Han Sui really put all his eggs in one basket? Is he really planning to bet everything on Yuzhong?"

Now that Liu Zhang doesn't want to believe it, he can't do it anymore. The Longxi prefecture is an empty city. Is there anything more convincing than this?

"Could it be that Han Sui was defeated by Yangping Pass several times and was frightened by our Yizhou army?"

Xun You's tone was frivolous, and he couldn't help laughing after he finished speaking.

It seems that Xun You, Liu Ye, and Pang Tong are all confused by the current situation.

If Han Sui really had a conspiracy, then the bait was indeed too great, and he even abandoned two counties one after another!

"My lord, didn't you say that there is Ma Teng's messenger? How many days has it been? They haven't come yet!"

If it wasn't for Pang Tong's reminder, Liu Zhang would have even forgotten about it!

Since they captured Xiangwu City, they received a message from Huang Zhong, saying that a messenger from Ma Teng had come.

It has been a month now, and Ma Teng's messenger has not been seen yet.

"Is it possible that I got lost? Hehe..."

After Liu Zhang said this, he couldn't help being amused.

How stupid is Ma Teng to send a messenger who doesn't know his way!

But Liu Zhang never believed that there were hidden Han Sui soldiers and horses along the way.

If you look at it this way, there is probably no other possibility for this messenger other than getting lost.

"My lord, shall we go to the city to rest or arrange soldiers and horses to camp outside?"

Liu Zhang looked up at the sky, thought for a while and made a decision.

"Let's go into town."

It's late at this moment, and it's estimated that it won't be long before it gets dark.

Is it so easy to set up a camp of tens of thousands of troops? If there is no war in Longxi County, Liu Zhang will immediately lead his army to detour through Hanyang County, and then march into Yuzhong.

At this moment, a soldier hurried forward and knelt down in front of Liu Zhang.

"My lord, Ma Teng has a messenger coming."

"Oh? Let him come over."

Really say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there!

I didn't expect that the Ma Teng messenger who had disappeared just now was discussed, and the time had come in a blink of an eye.

"My lord, just look at what Ma Teng said, and you should be able to judge Han Sui's intentions."

As soon as Liu Ye finished speaking, Ma Teng's messenger was brought to Liu Zhang.

"Greetings to General Wei, I am under the command of my lord to deliver a letter to General Wei!"

The messenger was very polite and humble, and Liu Zhang couldn't help feeling much relieved.

"Excuse me. I heard that you came to deliver the letter a month ago, why did you arrive today?"

The corners of the messenger's eyes kept twitching, and there was a hint of shame on his face.

"General Wei, I have never been to Hanyang County and Longxi County, so I often lose my way..."

Unexpectedly, this messenger was really lost!

"All right! Here's the letter, bring it!"

Hearing Liu Zhang's order, the messenger didn't dare to delay, and quickly took it out from behind and handed it to Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang took the thick bamboo slips and looked at the contents carefully.

"General Wei, I bow to Ma Teng, governor of Yongzhou!" Now Han Sui...'

After a long time, Liu Zhang closed the bamboo slips, and nodded with some understanding.

"So that's the case, no wonder Han Sui took all his troops back to Jincheng!"

"My lord, how is the situation?"

Seeing Liu Zhang's suddenly enlightened expression, Xun You and others were also very curious about the content of the letter.

"Han Sui and Ma Teng fought fiercely several times, and both sides suffered heavy losses. In order to ensure the stability of the territory under his command, this Han Wenyue actually got the idea of ​​the Qiang people."

"Han Sui gathered six Qiang patriarchs and prepared to follow the example of the murder of Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu and kill them all. Unexpectedly, the matter was revealed, and the Qiang patriarchs were not killed, but faced with the situation of being attacked everywhere. "

"Han Sui saw that the general situation was over, so he had no choice but to gather all his troops and gathered in Jincheng, Jincheng County, which is Han Sui's lair."

"Now the Qiang people have assembled an army, ready to settle with Han Sui! Ma Teng has also assembled an army of 50,000 under his command, ready to give Han Sui a fatal blow!"

"Ma Teng stated in his letter that on the day Han Sui died, he would surrender all the states and counties under his command to us. In his letter, he asked us to be stationed in Didao, in case Han Sui took advantage of the chaos and escaped!"

The three of Xun You looked at each other, as if they were a little at a loss for the news.

Shocking!

This is really tantamount to pie in the sky!

According to Ma Teng's description, the Yizhou Army didn't even need to dispatch a single soldier, and Han Sui would perish!

Once Han Sui died, the entire Jincheng County would immediately lose the motivation to resist. Coupled with Ma Teng's promise to surrender, it is equivalent to Liu Zhang's loss of hundreds of people and the complete surrender of Yongliang and Liangzhou!

"My lord, can I show you next time?"

Hearing Liu Ye's request, Liu Zhang handed him the bamboo slip without hesitation.

Liu Ye looked at the bamboo slips at a glance, and then suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Hahaha, Han Sui killed himself, God helped me in Yizhou, I really want to congratulate my lord!"

Xun You and Pang Tong were taken aback for a moment, they didn't expect Liu Ye's reaction to be so big!

Han Sui hadn't died yet, and Ma Teng hadn't surrendered yet, so Liu Ye began to celebrate.

However, it didn't take long for Xun You and Pang Tong to become excited, and at the same time they bowed their hands to congratulate Liu Zhang.

"My lord, the smooth annexation of Yongliang and Liangzhou will definitely save us a lot of military power! We can also leave the pass in the shortest possible time and completely control the land of Sanfu!"

"What Shi Yuan said is very true! If we follow our plan, we can occupy the entire Guanzhong before the Battle of Guandu! At that time, no matter who wins or loses, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will be fine."

The three of Xun You sang and imagined the future here, and they were astonished by Liu Zhang.
