The Three Kingdoms

"Street Pavilion!"

Xu Sheng's eyes lit up, he came to his senses, and shouted: "Chief of Staff, immediately arrange scouts to explore in the northeast direction!"

"promise!"

Huang Gai nodded and dispatched cavalry scouts to explore northeast.

----------------

Long County.

After repelling the Wei army's attack, Jiang Qin became a little cautious, but there was no trace of the Wei army for two days. He was a little worried, so he went to report to Zhuge Liang: "Commander, the Wei army just retreated after a tentative attack. , Now there is no trace in a radius of dozens of miles, is there some trick!"

"trick?"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang put down the volume of military books in his hand, shook his head, smiled, and said: "I guess it's not some trick, it's Sima Yi who wants to put him to death and make a living. I'm sure Sima Yi has already led his troops to the northeast at this time. The street pavilions are getting closer, so he has to join Ma Chao's troops to have the power to fight back!"

"Then I'll send it out to intercept it!"

"That's too late!"

"The commander had already guessed that Sima Yi would meet Ma Chao at the street pavilion, why didn't he deploy ahead of time!" Jiang Qin frowned, looking at Zhuge Liang who was as steady as Mount Tai and leisurely, very puzzled.

"Why should I intercept!" Zhuge Liang asked back.

"But if we don't intercept them and let their forces be fully concentrated, wouldn't it strengthen their strength and make it more difficult for us to annihilate them?" Jiang Qin was stunned, suddenly a little confused, looking at Zhuge Liang, and said.

"The reason why I took Long County was to force Sima Yi to go to Jieting!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "For me, the Central Army entered Liangzhou, and this battle is a victory. What we have to do is to use the least casualties in exchange for the greatest victory. Now that they are together, we can drag them down. Jiang Qin, you leave a division to guard Long County, lead the cavalry, and follow me to send troops north to Jieting!"

At this point in the situation, Zhuge Liang thought not how to defeat Sima Yi, but to annihilate the two main forces of the Wei army at the lowest cost.

Sima Yi still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Ma Chao is still the main force.

Forcibly besieging and killing them and forcing them to fight with trapped animals is tantamount to forcing tigers to injure people. Before the last step, Zhuge Liang absolutely does not want to exchange casualties for victory.

He must fight a beautiful victory.

--------------

The situation in Jieting became more and more tense. With the Northern Wolf Guard being surrounded, four days had passed, but the battlefield was peaceful. Except for the bloody battle that erupted in the first day of the encirclement between the North and the South, they failed to win any subsequent battles. .

During the confrontation between the two armies, there was a kind of oppressive tranquility before the storm. This atmosphere made the general of the Northern Wolf Guard in the city a little out of breath.

In a camp, the Northern Wolf guards gathered together.

"Wu Jun, what does this mean?"

Cao Zhang became a little manic after being suppressed, and shouted in a deep voice: "Do they want to surround us without fighting?"

"The food and grass in the street pavilion are enough for us to support for a month!"

Ju Shou shook his head: "There are too many variables, they won't be so stupid, they always surround and don't fight, they must have plans!"

"Are they waiting for something?" General Yang Qiu asked after thinking about it.

"Maybe they are waiting for the soldiers from Bingzhou to rush in, so that they will be more sure to keep us in Jieting!" Zhang Heng said in a deep voice.

"Bingzhou?"

Ju Shou narrowed his eyes slightly: "It is very possible that if Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses join the encirclement and suppression, then we may really be hard to fly!"

"General, it's better to break out of the siege immediately, this battle should be sooner rather than later!" Cao Zhang looked at the silent Ma Chao.

"hold on!"

Ma Chao sat cross-legged in the first place, his face remained unchanged, and he said calmly.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"General, the scouts have contacted Sima Yi's troops. They are already heading towards us. Now the distance is less than [-] miles. They can enter the street pavilion in a day at most. But there are pursuers behind them, so I beg for help!"

"Sima Yi is finally here!"

The generals were immediately overjoyed.

"How many soldiers and horses do they have now?"

A gleam flashed across Ma Chao's tiger eyes, and he asked.

"There should be about [-] soldiers!"

"it is good!"

When Ma Chao heard this, his face was stern, and he was slightly happy. What he had been waiting for was not just Sima Yi, but this force, and the combination is strong. If they want to retreat to Guanzhong, they will inevitably be killed by Wu Jun. Every step of the battle line is dangerous.

This will be a bloody battle. He needs tens of thousands of Sima Yi's troops to help him, so he decided to respond: "Zhang Heng, Yang Qiu, Ma Wan, go and prepare the Xiliang iron cavalry immediately. We will take the initiative to fight tomorrow, and we should also fight with Wu Jun." It's a fight!"

"Yes!"

The three giants stood up and took orders to go.To be continued.

[Text 210 Chapter 34 Bloody Battle and Cold [-]]

Qishan, in the military barracks established by the third theater of the Wu army, the voices of soldiers training are roaring, and the footsteps shake the mountain. . .

This is now Pound Barracks.

Qishan is a strategically important place connecting Wudu and Xiliang, with overlapping mountains and dangerous terrain, easy to defend but difficult to attack. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

Pound traveled starry night in order to win this easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack land.

Pang De breathed a sigh of relief when his army had successfully occupied this strategic location, and Qishan still had a ready-made iron barrel barracks for them to gain a foothold, as long as they built an offensive and held their ground.

But within a few days, Pound's keen sense of the battlefield made him feel something was wrong.

"It stands to reason that if Wu Jun knew that I had taken down Qi Shan, he should have counterattacked immediately!"

On this day, Pound's tall and straight body stood on a high hill, and his eyes looked at the silent everything around him, which made him very uneasy. He always felt that it was a little too quiet, so quiet that there was a kind of wind and rain coming. The breath enveloped his heart.

"Report!" A scout soldier leaped to report.

"Say."

"Report to the general, our scouts are on the west side of Qishan Mountain, [-] li to the south, in the direction of Longyou, and found a Wu army soldier and horse. They are now marching in a hurry, and they are coming straight to our Qishan Mountain!"
