At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Fifteen days later, Yang Lin led the soldiers from Hanzhong County to Ji County, the seat of Hanyang County.

Liu Zhang didn't delay any longer, and told Yang Lin to take Xun You and Pang Tong as military advisers, lead Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Dian Wei, Zhu Meng and Ma Teng, who temporarily joined Liu Zhang's command, and raised an army of 65,000 to kill Yuzhong City. .

Liu Zhang had only 40,000 troops under his command. After Ma Teng decided to help Liu Zhang, he not only said that he had surrendered all the captured Liangzhou Jingqi, but Ma Yue, Pang De and others also joined Liu Zhang's command.

However, unlike Ma Teng's way of allegiance, Ma Yue, Pang De and others really served under Liu Zhang's command and recognized Liu Zhang as their master.

All this is due to Ma Teng's persuasion. He knows that Liu Zhang does not want to have small forces among the forces.

Liu Zhang treated Ma Teng so kindly, Ma Teng reciprocated and gave Liu Zhang a big, big surprise.

Pound's surrender completely surprised Liu Zhang. He didn't expect that Ma Teng was just an order for what he couldn't do even with his lips worn out!

With Pound's character, after recognizing the Lord, there is no possibility of rebellion.

Ma Teng's joining of the army can be described as the only good news among all the bad news.

The addition of Liangzhou Jingqi can be regarded as adding a lot of vitality to Liu Zhang, and the number of soldiers and horses has directly increased to 65,000.

Although Xun You and Pang Tong still privately suggested to Liu Zhang that it is not appropriate for Ma Teng to lead such a large army, but to keep some hostages.

In the end, Liu Zhang decided to follow his own inherent thinking, not to doubt people, but not to employ people.

Now that the Yizhou army is in danger, Ma Teng is willing to help him at the risk of his son Ma Chao and the Liangzhou Qiang people being enemies.

If Liu Zhang had any doubts, it would inevitably chill the desperate Ma Teng.

Surrounded by powerful enemies at present, working together is still not sure of victory, not to mention mutual suspicion and intrigue?

Therefore, Liu Zhang issued a strict order from the first day of the expedition that no one should have any doubts about Ma Teng and the newly joined Liangzhou Jingqi.

Ma Teng and other Liangzhou surrendered generals were very moved. I am afraid that there is no other monarch who can treat those who have just surrendered so kindly except Liu Zhang. Immediately stated that everything is subject to Liu Zhang's order!

There are more than 20,000 Jingqi remaining in Liangzhou, and Liu Zhang did not preserve all of them. He divided them into three parts, with Ma Teng, Ma Yue, and Pang De each leading one.

Regarding Liu Zhang's decision, Ma Teng had no opinion, and took the initiative to assist Liu Zhang to complete the deployment.

The journey from Ji County to Yuzhong was more than 400 li. Fortunately, the road was relatively flat. Liu Zhang marched for another 15 days and finally arrived outside the city of Yuzhong.

This time Han Sui was obviously more pragmatic, and deployed 3,000 defenders in Yuzhong City to resist.

But trying to stop Liu Zhang from invading Jincheng County with 3,000 people is tantamount to wishful thinking!

With the cooperation of the barbarian soldiers, the Wuwei battalion, and the Huwei battalion, in just three days, the defense force of Yuzhong City was completely shattered.

Just when everyone thought that Liu Zhang had won the flag and was about to take advantage of the victory to march, the Yizhou Army fell silent.

After Liu Zhang occupied Yuzhong City, he seemed to be satisfied with the current status quo, and he no longer had any intention of getting involved in Jincheng County.

Liu Zhang was not in a hurry to eliminate Han Sui, nor was he in a hurry to occupy Jincheng, but Han Sui, the governor of Liangzhou, couldn't sit still.

Jincheng, the prefecture of Jincheng, and the Governor's Mansion of Liangzhou.

Jincheng has always been Han Sui's base camp. Since Han Sui was appointed as Liangzhou Governor, Liangzhou Governor's Mansion was also moved into Jincheng by him.

In the entire Governor's Mansion, Han Sui's forces are no longer alone.

Not only the patriarchs of the five major Qiang tribes, but even Ma Chao, who hated Han Sui deeply, were all present here!

"Patriarchs, General Ma, Liu Zhang has stopped in Yuzhong, and I don't know what tricks are brewing again!"

Han Sui's complexion was heavy, and his brows were twisted into a twitch.

After the battle of Didao, Liu Zhang has become Han Sui's nightmare, and even the opponent's breath will be regarded by Han Sui as an early warning of a conspiracy!

"My lord, it seems that Liu Zhang has seen through our plan."

Han Sui turned his head to look at the speaker. It was Cheng Yinggong, the number one wise man under his command.

Cheng Yinggong, surnamed Chengying, Minggong, a native of Jincheng County, has known Han Sui for many years.

Cheng Yinggong is calm and not good at intrigue, which is somewhat incompatible with Han Sui's character.

Cheng Yinggong and Han Sui have known each other for many years and have been loyal to them for many years, but they have not been reused.

Since Han Sui's separatist regime, he has hardly encountered a major crisis, and the forces under his command can be said to be thriving.

Therefore, even though Han Sui knew about Cheng Yinggong's talent, he did not give it to him because of his personality.

After listening to Fazheng's plot to defeat this time, Han Sui learned from the pain, and then realized the importance of steady development, and immediately promoted Cheng Yinggong as a military adviser.

The arrangement of the three thousand defenders in Yuzhong City was Cheng Yinggong's first strategy since he became a military adviser.

Now Jincheng County has ambushed hundreds of thousands of troops, just waiting for Liu Zhang to lead the army to die.

In order to lure Liu Zhang, Cheng Yinggong made a little resistance in Yuzhong, intending to make Liu Zhang mistakenly think that Han Sui was still fighting trapped beasts.

Three thousand people are not too many, just enough to cause trouble for Liu Zhang, but not too much difficulty.

It's a pity that these arrangements did not achieve the expected results. Liu Zhang's stagnation after occupying Yuzhong City has declared the failure of Cheng Yinggong's plan.

"Military commanders don't need to worry about it. Liu Zhang is treacherous, and you need to be upright when fighting him."

Han Sui showed a gentle smile, instead of blaming him, he comforted him.

Cheng Yinggong was the only wise man and military adviser under his command, and Han Sui had to rely more on him.

At this time, Ma Chao on the side snorted coldly, and looked at Han Sui disdainfully.

"Hmph! This general has already said, lead the army to attack directly! But you just didn't listen, and lost Yuzhong instead!"

"Yuzhong was originally a strong city, which can be used as our stronghold, but now it belongs to Liu Zhang. It's ridiculous!"

Cheng Yinggong had a calm personality, and he was not angry at Ma Chao's reproach at all, but Yan Xing who was on the side suddenly became furious.

"Ma Chao, do you think this is the Wuwei of your Ma family? Let me tell you, this is Jincheng! Show me some respect!"

How could Ma Chao endure Yan Xing's unscrupulous threats, and immediately slammed the table, pointing at Yan Xing angrily.

"Yan Xing, you are courting death!"

Without fear, Yan Xing immediately walked up to Ma Chao.

"Want to fight one-on-one? Please accompany me anytime!"

Ma Chao and Yan Xing faced each other tit for tat, neither of them would give in half a step, neither of them took the other seriously, it seemed that a bloody battle was about to start in the house!

At this moment, Cheng Yinggong, who was accused by Ma Chao, walked between the two of them and quickly smoothed things over.

"Two generals calm down!"
