The Three Kingdoms

"General, could it be that the battle in Longyou was too fierce, so Zhang Ren didn't care about us!"

Yang Xiu pondered for a while, then said in a low voice.

"No!" Sima Yi shook his head: "Zhang Ren still has a bit of sense!"

"But on the Longyou battlefield, the Wu army is only as strong as one army, and General Zhang Ren not only has more than 2 elite troops, but also a hundred thousand Qiang troops. He is sure to win. Even if they besiege and kill them, it is a normal thing! "Yang Xiudao.

"It's not certain!"

Sima Yi had a sullen face: "There is nothing absolute on the battlefield. Something must have gone wrong here. I was too complacent and didn't pay attention in time. After all, Zhang Ren's men only had more than 2 soldiers and horses, and one hundred thousand Qiang troops. I may not believe it!"

"The general suspects the Qiang army?"

"It's not doubtful!" Sima Yi said, "It's just that they may not be willing to fight for our Great Wei. If it's not our race, their hearts must be different!"

"General, I have asked the ghost soldiers to investigate as much as possible. Maybe no news is good news!" Yang Xiu thought for a while, and said: "You know the ability of General Zhang Ren, can't you hold back a few people?" The leader of the Qiang people? I believe he won't make mistakes so easily!"

"Hope it!"

Sima Yi took a deep breath, calmed down, and looked at the topographical map in front of him: "Even if he has any accidents, I can't help him now. Now we can only care about the battle situation in front of us. What's going on with the Wu army in Baitou Mountain!"

"no!"

Yang Xiu replied: "It's very quiet, there is no intention of breaking through!"

"Dezu, how many days do you think their food and grass can last?"

"It must not exceed ten days!"

"That is to say, they are running out of food and grass. Once they run out of food and grass, they will kill themselves!" Sima Yi's eyes became sharper: "But they still have no intention of breaking through, which is a bit strange!"

"What does the general mean, he is dragging us?"

"Since they abandoned Long County and went deep alone, their intention was to hold back our main force, but now they are dragging us down with life and death, which makes me feel even more uneasy!"

Sima Yi's heart sank, and he said, "Wu Jun must have a plan!"

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"Report to General Sima, this is a letter from Gushe Mountain in the north!" A dusty scout handed over a secret letter.

"Gushe Mountain?"

Sima Yi's eyes brightened slightly: "It should be that the Northern Wolf Guard is in place?"

He opened the letter, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help showing an excited smile on his calm face: "Ju Shou's letter, Ma Chao has led the main force to Gushe Mountain, and he will go south in a few days!"

"This is great!" Yang Xiu also became excited.

"Dezu, I want to besiege and kill Chen Dao. We can't withdraw our troops from Mount Baitou for the time being. You go to Long County personally and ask Cao Zhang to lead his troops to support and block the south of Jieting. Make sure to drive out the Wu army in Jieting!" Sima Yi said murderously. .

"promise!"

Yang Xiu took the order and left. (To be continued.)

[Text 190 Chapter [-] Bloody Battle and Merger Seventeen]

Jieting, formerly known as Jiequanting, is named after a spring. It is a small town with a small population. It is built under Longshan Mountain. You can even climb up.

However, due to its geographical location, Jieting relies on Longshan Mountain, and there is a river in front of it. The east-west direction is somewhat desirable, and the north-south is transparent, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Historically, street kiosks are famous.

Ma Di carelessly lost the street pavilion, Zhuge Liang beheaded Ma Di with tears.

This is a well-known allusion in later generations.

At the same time, this allusion also fully illustrates the importance of Jieting. The geographical location here is a link between the north and the south, and the east-west connection between Liangzhou and Guanzhong is the throat of the military strategists.

Now guarding Jieting is the Ninth Army of the Bashu Army of the Wu Army.

The Ninth Army was the Bashu elite led by Chen Dao himself. Chen Dao himself served as the commander of the Ninth Army.

Chen Dao is now personally leading the Tenth Army of the Bashu Army to go deep alone, and the Ninth Army is naturally the Chief of Staff Deng Zhi.

Deng Zhi is a Nanyang native. He was recruited by Liao Hao in the early years and joined the Jinyi Guard. Later, Liao Hao was promoted to be the commander of the Jinyi Dark Guard. After leaving Bashu, he was the helm of Bashu Qianhu.

He made a great contribution to the Wu army's capture of Bashu, but he was not a pure Jinyiwei.

Deng Zhi was born in a well-known local wealthy family in Nanyang. He was well-versed in poetry and books when he was young, and he was especially good at reading military books.

After Wu Jun pacified Bashu, he left the Jinyiwei system and recommended himself to join the military system. He was highly valued by Chen Dao and was exceptionally promoted to the chief of staff of the Ninth Army.

On this day, the weather was fine, and the small town of Jieting was peaceful, with only the footsteps of trainees in one row after another, and the population in the city had already begun to migrate southward after the Wu army entered, and the population was small. It's not that hard either.

Deng Zhi and the generals under his command were currently discussing the battle situation in a tent set up in a threshing ground in the small town, when suddenly the scout battalion commander Wang Ping rushed in.

"Report!"

"Come in."

Deng Zhi looked at the combat sand table and responded lightly.

"Report to the Chief of Staff, the second company of our army's scouts, ten miles away from the west wing of the Jieting, found that a large number of Wei army troops are gradually approaching the Jieting!"

"Wei Jun?"

"It's coming so fast!"

"After waiting for so long, it's finally here!"

When the generals heard the words, they were not surprised at all, but instead showed a strong fighting spirit in their expressions.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the Wei army, and what are their banners?"

Deng Zhi's eyes also suddenly lit up, and he quickly looked at Wang Ping and asked.

"The soldiers and horses are about fifteen thousand, but the banner is unknown!" Wang Ping said.

"The flag is unknown?"

Deng Zhi clenched his fists, his gaze was like a rainbow, and a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Sneaky, you don't show your banner, you just want us to be ignorant, it seems that the person we are waiting for is coming!"

"Report!" Another report sounded outside the camp at this time.

"Come in!"
