The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

"withdraw!"

Seeing that there was an ambush in the city, Hu Lie brandished his spear to fend off feathered arrows, while retreating with his soldiers and horses.

"kill!"

This is when the gate of Gaoping city was opened. Wangmen, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed out with an army, and came straight behind Hu Lie.

"Su Ze, lead [-] soldiers and horses to stop the enemy army rushing out of Gaoping City. The rest of the soldiers and horses are in formation, ready to meet the enemy." Will.

"kill!!!"

At this moment, behind Yu Jin's horses, a large army was killed in the woods outside Gaoping City. The ambushes led by General Su You rushed directly to Yu Jin's rear team.

"Huh!" Yu Jin snorted coldly, and led the army that had been prepared to meet Su You's soldiers and horses, and the two armies fought together in an instant.

"clang!"

"Chong!"

Yu Jin and Su You were two generals fighting together. Yu Jin was highly skilled in martial arts, but Su You was not weak. Yu Jin attacked Su You, but he couldn't attack for a long time. Shen Sheng said to Jin: "General, our soldiers and horses have come from a long distance, they are exhausted, their fighting strength is not as good as that of the enemy's, and they have suffered a lot in battle."

"Huh?" After Yu Jin listened, he turned his head to look at the battlefield, and saw that his formation of soldiers and horses was starting to become chaotic, so he knew he couldn't stay for a long time, so he made a decision immediately.

"You lead people to join Su Ze, lead your troops to fight south, and I will lead your troops to break the rear." Yu Jin immediately ordered Hu Lie beside him.

"No!" Hu Lie took the order to go, and Yu Jin went to meet Su You again, so that Su You would not be distracted from commanding the army, so that Hu Lie and others could break out of the siege.

Sure enough, although Su You was good at martial arts, he was not Yu Jin's opponent. When fighting Yu Jin, he didn't dare to distract him at all, which made Hu Lie and others successfully break out. Seeing this, Yu Jin got rid of Su You's entanglement and successfully escaped.

Su You and Wang Men chased after them, but unfortunately, Yu Jin managed well, so Su You and Wang Men didn't gain much, so they had to withdraw troops hastily. According to Chen Ziming's order, Wang Men led [-] soldiers and horses to stay in Gaoping, and Su You led the remaining soldiers and horses back. Daying meets Chen Ziming.

"Report!"

"General Qi, our camp was destroyed by enemy generals Zhang Xiu and Ma Yan, and all food and grass were lost."

"What?" Yu Jin's sneak attack on Gao Ping failed, but he lost a lot of soldiers and horses. Now that he has learned that the camp has been destroyed and food and grass have been robbed, he almost fell off his horse.

"General!"

"General!"

Hu Lie and Su Ze beside Yu Jin hurried forward to support Yu Jin, Yu Jin stabilized his figure, pushed Hu Lie and Su Ze away, then looked at the messenger who came forward to report the letter and asked: "How about the military commander? Soldiers and horses What is the loss?"

"General Qi, the military division is now leading troops and horses to the south of the river, and the [-] battalion guards lost [-] horses. General Li Hong died in battle, and the rest of the troops went south with the military division." The messenger hurriedly told the news of the army.

"Very good." After Yu Jin listened, he breathed a sigh of relief, the loss was still within the acceptable range, and then said: "General Hu Lie, you led [-] soldiers and horses to explore the road ahead, and went down the Linhe River to find the army division and soldiers. "

"promise!"

Hu Lie immediately led his troops to explore the way.

"General Su Ze, you will lead five thousand soldiers and horses to stop the rear, so as to prevent the enemy from chasing after us. If our central army is ambushed, rescue them immediately."

"promise!"

Su Ze led [-] soldiers and horses to stay where they were, and after leading Yu Jin's soldiers and horses away, they followed behind.

Yu Jin's army did not encounter an ambush as he thought, and a day later he successfully found the soldiers and horses led by Man Pang, and the two armies merged into one.

Now his army has lost all food and grass, and the soldiers have only one day's dry food left on them, so they must rush back to Tongguan. The [-] elite Cao army now has only more than [-] people returning, which can be described as a great defeat.

"General, just received a report from the spies that the Xiliang soldiers and horses stationed at Yufeng Mountain were wiped out. Han Sui, who was guarding Pengyang City, abandoned the city and fled. He was ambushed by Chen Ziming's soldiers and horses on the way. He was defeated and led ten thousand remnants to Jincheng. and go."

Yu Jin's soldiers and horses were resting, and Man Pang rushed to tell Yu Jin the news about Han Sui's soldiers and horses that he had just received.

"No one in Liangzhou can stop Chen Ziming's army." After hearing this, Yu Jin sighed helplessly, and then led the army back to Tongguan for repairs.

"I have met Mr. Xiaoxian." In Tongguan, in a heavily guarded mansion, Cao Chun, Yu Jin, Man Pang, Jiang Ji, Wang Hun, Wang Bao and others saluted a middle-aged literati.

"You don't need to be polite. I am here to help you guard Tongguan under the order of the prime minister." The person who came was Mao Jie, Cao Cao's adviser. Cao Cao attaches great importance to Tongguan.

345章羌族

After listening to the battle of Pengyang City, Mao Jie thought for a while and said: "Xiliang is a land of mixed Han and Hu people, with many Qiang people. In the past, the Ma family suppressed all parties, and no Qiang people dared to cause trouble."

"Now that the Ma family has been destroyed, Han Sui's strength has fallen greatly, and no one can suppress the Qiang people." Mao Jie said here, his eyes flashed, and then said: "You can send someone to contact the 36 Qiang people in Xiliang, and let them gather together. The soldiers resisted Chen Ziming's soldiers and horses."

"Sir, although the Qiang people are brave and good at fighting, they have different hearts. They are definitely not the opponents of Chen Ziming's army. How can they stop Chen Ziming's army?" Cao Chun asked suspiciously.

"Hehe." Mao Jie said with a slight smile, "It's late autumn now, and the climate in the north is cold. The Qiang soldiers don't need to stop Chen Ziming's army, they just need to make Chen Ziming unable to control Liangzhou before winter comes."

"So that's how it is." Man Pang's eyes lit up, and he said, "If Chen Ziming can't control Liangzhou before this winter, the prime minister will adjust the deployment of all parties in the coming year, mobilize troops, and then compete with Chen Ziming for the land of Liangzhou."

"Yes." Mao Jie nodded slightly and said, "Liangzhou is the northern barrier of the Han Dynasty. It is good at producing good horses and has an important route to Shu. It is an important place for military strategists. Liu Bei should not let it go easily."

"Sir, I will send someone to contact the Qiang people. If the Qiang people are willing to send troops, I would like to lead Tongguan troops out of the pass to help and attack Chen Ziming together." Cao Chun immediately suggested.

"No." Mao Jie said to Cao Chun with a serious face: "Tongguan is the gate of Chang'an, which is related to the safety of the entire Sili Prefecture. If there is no absolute certainty, you can't leave Tongguan. Otherwise, if the army loses, Tongguan will not be safe."

"Thank you for your teaching, sir." After Cao Chun heard this, he gave up his plan to lead an attack. Cao Cao asked him to come to Tongguan to make Tongguan safe, and he didn't dare to take risks.

"Report!"

"General Qi, General Liu Bei Zhang Liao led [-] troops into Fufeng and stationed troops in Anling."

"Huh?" After Cao Caochun heard this, he looked up at Mao Jie, wanting to hear Mao Jie's opinion on this matter.

Seeing Cao Chun's gaze, Mao Jie sorted out his train of thought, and said, "Zuo Fufeng and You Fengling are the northern barriers of Sili Prefecture, keeping the northern aliens out."

"Now that Fufeng and Feng Ling have fallen into the hands of Liu Bei, they have already threatened Silizhou. Now the prime minister is rectifying the troops and has no time to look north. Only next year, as long as Chen Ziming does not gain a firm foothold in Liangzhou, the prime minister will definitely lead the army to come. .”

"Now we have two things to do. The first is to strictly guard Tongguan, not to let such important places fall into Chen Ziming's hands. The second is to contact the Qiang people and let them gather troops to hold back Chen Ziming's troops."

"General, Mr. Xiaoxian, my subordinates are willing to go to the Qiang people and persuade the various tribes of the Qiang people to send troops to stop Chen Ziming." Man Pang hurriedly went out to ask for orders.

"There is Lao Boning." Cao Chun immediately sent people to escort Man Pang to the various tribes of the Qiang people in Xiliang, lobbying the Qiang people to send troops.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Report to the Prime Minister, Jincheng is twenty miles ahead."

Chen Ziming led the army to follow Han Sui's defeat. Now as long as Han Sui is killed, no one in Liangzhou can resist Chen Ziming's troops.

"When the army arrives, immediately surround Jincheng and don't let Han Sui escape." Chen Ziming thought for a while, then turned to Zhao Yun beside him and said, "After the army set up camp, Zilong immediately went to the various tribes of the Qiang people and invited the leaders of the tribes to come. Jincheng gathers together."

"promise!"
