Farmer of Shu Han

Back then, in order to attract the attention of Wei Jun in Jingyang and Linjing, Guan Ji had people from the engineering battalion smash the city for several days.

The city wall of Wuzhi City facing Xiaoguan has just cleaned up the original rocks and mud, and there is no time to repair it now.

So Cao Zhen didn't go to Xiaoguan, but went north to Jingshui, and then went southeast along Jingshui. Even if Feng Yong had a garrison here, he would have no chance to resist.

In this case, the army of the Colonel's Mansion will be completely blocked in Anding.

Unless Feng Yong can break through Cao Zhen's army before Xian Yufu rushes over to make his own dumplings.

Otherwise, he could only lead the army to go south along the Jing River again, then turn north, return to Jingyang, and finally go to Yuezhi City.

Then go over mountains and rivers from Yuezhi City, go north out of the Great Wall, and enter the desert.

At that time, I hope that I will have the luck of Huo Huanqi, find all the way to Helan Mountain, and then find the way from there to return to Longyou.

But this time, Feng Yong's luck was not too bad. When he led the army all the way to Wuzhi City, he found that the time here was quiet and peaceful.

Not to mention the army of the Wei State, even the sentry of the Wei Army has never been here.

Before coming to Wuzhi City, I hope that Cao Zhen will not come here so soon.

But when Cao Zhenzhen didn't come here to block himself, Feng Yong became a little hesitant instead.

While reorganizing his army in Wuzhi City, he sent out sentries to Xiaoguan.

On the contrary, Guan Ji was able to let go of the worries in her heart a little bit.

"It seems that Cao Zhen is really as expected. His original intention is not to design a prince, but to raid Longyou."

Although the previous guess was extremely confident, at least half of it was to appease everyone.

Seeing that Cao Zhen really did what she expected, Guan Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Yong was still a little worried, and he asked with some doubts: "If it were me, I would turn around first, cooperate with Xian Yufu, eat An Ding's army, and at the same time regain An Ding."

"Cao Zhen's actions now give us more room to maneuver, why?"

Guan Ji held a long whip in her hand and pointed to Xiao Guan's position on the sand table: "Because he has a big appetite, he wants to capture Xiao Guan and eat us at the same time."

"Furthermore, his original intention was to raid Longyou, and now he is forced to go north. Presumably, he must at least capture Xiaoguan as a plan for the future."

Xiaoguan is the only pass for the Han Dynasty on the east side of Longyou Mountain.

It is also a nail wedged into Guanzhong by the big man, stimulating the nerves of Guanzhong all the time.

There is Xiaoguan in the north and Longguan in the south. As long as the big man has these two passes, he can cooperate with each other at any time to attack Si County.

Conversely, if Cao Zhen takes Xiaoguan, it is equivalent to closing a door for the big man to enter Guanzhong.

At that time, Cao Zhen can concentrate on defending Qian County and prevent the big man from entering Guanzhong from Longguan.

"As long as Xiaoguan is captured, stability can naturally be achieved without a fight."

Guan Ji is more and more like a general, at least in this battle, she has been able to fully substitute Cao Zhen's thoughts.

"He has exposed himself in advance, so the time left for him to attack Xiaoguan is shorter than expected. He must hurry up and make preparations for attacking Xiaoguan."

"Otherwise, when the prime minister of Hanzhong reacts and sends reinforcements to Longyou, his plan will come to nothing."

Guan Ji drew a circle around Xiao Guan, "Looking at An Ding, the only place that can accommodate 100,000 troops to fight is the area around Xiao Guan."

Anding is the intersecting area of ​​Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia in later generations. There is a well-known term in later generations, called the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, and most of Anding County is included.

The terrain here is undulating, with many mountains and gullies, and few flat lands, which is not conducive to the deployment of the army.

When Feng Yong led the army out of Xiaoguan, he split up with Guan Ji's soldiers. In fact, there were also reasons for the terrain.

How many people Cao Zhen brought here, there is no exact data yet.

But if he really planned to raid Longyou, then at least more than 50,000 people would be needed.

Because there are 50,000 regular Han troops in Longyou.

"If Cao Zhen advances eastward to Wushi City first, then his army will not be able to deploy in the Jingshui River Valley, which is equivalent to giving up his own advantage."

"So at this time, he must be pretending to attack Xiaoguan, forcing us to rescue Xiaoguan, while making preparations for a decisive battle with us on the flat ground under Xiaoguan."

Fortunately, when Guan Ji said she wanted to stay in Pingxiang, she didn't agree, so she must be pulled out!

Feng Junhou was very happy in his heart.

He looked at the large flat land to the east of Xiaoguan on the sand table, and finally smiled:

"A decisive battle on flat ground? This method is good!"

Having said that, he nodded heavily:

"He wants to fight, so let's fight! Cao really doesn't have enough time, and we don't have enough time, otherwise, when Xian Yufu comes up from behind, everything will stop!"

Cao Zhen was in a hurry, and Feng Yong was also in a hurry.

After all, no one knows how long the weeds in Linjing City can block Xian Yufu.

"Pass down the order, rest in Wuzhi City for a day today, and leave for Xiaoguan tomorrow!"

"promise!"

All the generals responded coquettishly.

"Erlang, you stay."

Zhao Guang didn't understand why his elder brother left him alone, and he still called him Erlang in front of everyone in the army.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

Feng Yong sat down on the handsome seat with some fatigue, pointed to the seat below, and said, "Sit first."

Seeing his elder brother like this, Zhao Guang knew something important was going on.

He sat down nervously and looked at his brother.

Feng Yong said slowly, "In this battle, the armored cavalry in your hand is the most important thing. At this time, try not to have any problems with any of the horses."

Zhao Guang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "I understand."

Feng Yong smiled, raised his head, but said something off topic:

"Think about the sixth year of Jianxing, when I first fought Cao Bandit, I met the New Fifth Army led by Zhang He. I heard that there were veterans of tiger and leopard cavalry at that time."

"When I pacified Jincheng, I met Liangzhou iron cavalry again. I have already met two of the three strongest cavalry in Wei."

"The remaining one is the cavalry from Hebei that we haven't seen yet. After the Battle of Longyou, Cao Rui transferred a lot of soldiers from Hebei."

"So in my opinion, Cao Zhen should have a lot of Hebei cavalry in his hands at this time."

When Feng Yong said this, he looked at Zhao Guang, "In the previous two times, I didn't have any cavalry in my hand, so I can only use Mo Dao to deal with them."

"Now I have not only the Mo Dao in my hand, but also the cavalry camp that I have painstakingly built. So I want to fulfill my wish, and I want to defeat all the cavalry troops in Wei State one by one. Erlang, are you willing to help me?"

Although his elder brother's tone was flat, Zhao Guang's blood was boiling with excitement, and he stood up abruptly:

"Without an elder brother, there would be no Zhao Guangzhi today. In the past, Zhao Guang relied on his elder brother, but today Zhao Guang is able to fight for his elder brother, even though he died nine times, he will not regret it!"

Feng Yong shook his head and stretched out his hand as a comforting gesture: "It's too unlucky to die, you just need to help me defeat Cao Zhen's cavalry army, understand?"

"clear!"

Two days later, in the Wei Army camp under Xiaoguan City.

"Report! Report to Da Sima, there are Shu captives appearing in the southeast with the banner of Feng Zi!"

Cao Zhen, who was inspecting the preparations for attacking Xiaoguan, had a smile on his face after his plan had succeeded:

"This thief Feng, has he finally delivered himself to the door?"

"I thought it would take at least two days for him to arrive, but I didn't expect to arrive so quickly. It is rumored that this thief is good at leading troops to attack, and it is true."

Guo Huai, who followed Cao Zhen, answered with a smile:

"In General Yimo's opinion, Feng Zei may not be leading a surprise attack this time, but he is here to lead his troops to die!"

Guo Huai was almost left in Longyou back then, relying on the Hu tribe he supported a few years ago, and it happened that there was a severe drought at that time, and the Wei River bottomed out, so he fled back to Guanzhong along the Wei River.

The escape in the battle of Longyou really made him very embarrassed.

And I heard afterwards that those Hu tribes who supported him were uprooted by Feng Thief.

Therefore, Guo Huai also hated Feng Yong deeply.

Waited for a long time and finally waited until today.

Although it may take a few more days to avenge Longyou, but at this time it does not prevent him from making fun of him to vent his resentment a little.

When the people around heard this, they all laughed.

But Cao Zhen, after laughing, still said:

"The army led by Thief Feng is the elite of the Shu captives. I heard that this man is vicious and cunning, and he is good at using soldiers. Don't underestimate him."

"Fortunately, the thief was too careless this time, and dared to go deep into the Guanzhong alone. If this thief can be eliminated this time, it can be regarded as removing a great harm for Wei."

The Shu captured Zhuge Liang who was good at governing the people, which already made Wei quite afraid.

I never thought that a few years ago there would be another bandit Feng who was not only good at collecting money, but also good at running the army, and even his articles were full of literary spirit.

In the past few years, the Shu captives have no longer recovered from the decline after the Yiling War, but have become more and more prosperous, which is really depressing.

If Feng Thief and his elite soldiers could be eliminated this time, the Shu captive would at least lose an arm.

"Great Sima cleverly used clever tricks to wait for work with ease, and let the soldiers of the Great Wei take the opportunity to recharge their batteries; on the other hand, Feng Bandit was cut off from the rear, and the morale of the army was definitely unstable."

"I was forced to come here in a hurry by Da Sima again. The division is tired and the army is old, and there are few soldiers. Da Sima will definitely be able to defeat the Shu captives and capture Feng thief in this battle!"

Qin Lang, who was originally sent by Cao Rui to Qian County, followed the emperor for a long time, and he has learned the way of observing his face.

At this time, he saw that although Cao Zhen was advising everyone to be careful, the expression on his face was full of complacency. How could he not know Cao Zhen's true thoughts at the moment?

When Cao Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but stroked his beard with his hands, smiling, obviously these words were deeply in his heart.

"Siege equipment, have you prepared it properly?"

"It's time to go back to Da Sima."

Cao Zhen nodded when he heard the words: "Very good! If you want to break Xiaoguan, you must first break Bandit Feng. Feng Yong came here in such a hurry, I can't let him regain his strength."

"Pass on my order, march tomorrow, destroy the Shu captives, and capture the Feng thief!"

"Break the captives of Shu and capture the bandit Feng!"

Just as Feng Yong and Cao Zhen were confronting each other at the foot of Xiaoguan City, when they returned to a certain green grass on the hill east of the middle road, they suddenly moved.

Then several figures stood up. They were wearing grayish-green clothes, and even their faces were painted with some kind of dark green color.

Even if you stand up, if you don't keep staring at the bushes, you really can't see people standing there.

The strange figures gestured to each other, and then slowly retreated back into the mountains.

In an unknown valley, an army is staying there quietly.

"Report to the general, except for the occasional Wei Jun passing by, there is no one else in the rest of the time."

The captain of the Night Battalion who came back from reconnaissance immediately reported to Hogo.

Huo Ge nodded with an ugly face: "Understood."

After the people from the Dark Night Battalion retreated, Huo Ge looked at Shi Bao: "Officer Shi, where do you think Cao's food team will stay?"

Although Shi Bao said before that he was only looking up to the strange man, so he went to Longchi Mountain to see it.

But Huo Ge led the people along the way, and found that he was very familiar with this trail.

He was able to lead them out of the mountains in the fastest time, and then found a hidden hiding place.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Huo Ge needs to find a suitable place to stay in Huizhong Road as quickly as possible.

Because it is hundreds of miles (Hanli) from Qian County to Xiaoguan, which is not a distance that can be traveled back and forth in a day.

If General Guan said that it took Cao Zhen less than ten days to travel from Qian County to Xiaoguan, then he must have sent the army to rush.

If the army is in a hurry, it is impossible to carry food and grass so fast, so they can only follow behind slowly.

So the first thing I have to do now is to find the supply team or grain and grass team of Cao thief on the middle road.

Shi Bao was looking at the quiet and disciplined soldiers around him, and he was lamenting Feng Junhou's way of running the army in his heart.

Hearing Huo Ge's question at this time, he said subconsciously: "General Huo, please rest assured, this time, I also know the suitable places on the middle road."

"I think back then, in order to smuggle the goods... heck, I mean, in order to save some time when transporting the goods, it was also to find out all the important roads in the customs."

"Go out of this valley and go north along the water. There is a small village pavilion by the water. Travelers who walked back to the middle way all those years ago had to stay there."

"Therefore, if someone wants to come, if the bandit army is transporting food, there must be a place to stay."

After hearing this, Huo Ge was overjoyed: "That's great! I wonder how long it will take from here to there?"

"It's only half a day's journey."

"Okay! Dark Night Camp!"

"What is the general's order?"

"Send someone immediately and go sixty miles north along the water to investigate!"

"promise!"

Watching the people in the Dark Night Camp begin to organize their equipment and set off again, Shi Bao couldn't help but asked worriedly:

"General Huo, I'm afraid the soldiers are a little tired after climbing over the mountains. I'm afraid they're even more tired because they've been scouting ahead for the Dark Night Battalion."

"Now it's only two and a half hours before dark, and it will take a day and a half for others to go back and forth. Will this dark night camp..."

Huo Ge shook his head: "Staff Shi, please rest assured that the people in the Dark Night Camp are the elites led by the princes. Others may say that they are tired, but they can't."

When Shi Bao heard the words and looked at the soldiers around him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Even Shi Bao, who has traveled a lot, has never seen the clothes worn by the people in the Dark Night Camp.

Not to mention that the dry rations that these soldiers eat now are actually mixed with brown sugar, which the Anding family dreamed of.

After one bite, it is so delicious that people want to eat it even after eating it.

This kind of food was used by Feng Junhou to supply the soldiers in the army.
