At the same time, under the night, Wei Gao, the Little Closing City, alone attracted the current herdsman Ma Dingde.

Ma Dingde was originally a cage official in Xifan. He was well aware of the geographical barriers of the southern road. Now, after joining the Tang family, he is relatively low-key and never expresses his opinions rashly on weekdays.

But only Wei Gao knew that Ma Dingde was a sharp dagger against Xifan. It was the best choice to let him hide quietly in the sheath before the critical moment of close combat. Now it is time to pull it out.

Wei Gao's attitude towards Ma Dingde and Wei Gao went straight to the ground: "Chou Fan has collapsed in Longyou. According to the document of Ximen Can, the Lieutenant of Tang Shence's Protector, there was a huge internal conflict in Chou Fan. The small discussion on the east road Xu Li led his troops to surrender and offered all the virtual and real places in Longyou. The map and the military station were detailed. General Shence Xing Junya and Liu Haibin drove straight into Weizhou, forming a sweeping force; and here, the scouts of Xichuan and Xingyuan found that a large number of foreign soldiers were gathering outside the boundary, with a total of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, and they must have come to seize Weisong. Our general and Gao Jigong wanted to fight with him and kill all the Xifan essences in one battle. We must let every household in the Xueyuan erect a black flag to meet the funeral. It is time for you to offer your advice."

Ma Dingde looked hesitant, and he said to Wei Gao cautiously: "Liang Shuai and Ji Gong's advisers are like rain, and fierce generals are like clouds..."

"As long as you plan today, others are afraid that they will not be willing to do their best!" Wei Gao did not give Ma Dingde an excuse to shirk. He knew that the best way to deal with Xifan was to use a surrendered fan.

Then Wei Gao said, if you win this battle, I and Duke Ji will report to you as the third rank, the Duke of County, and the first district of Chang'an City. But if you dare to push back and deceive today, your family's life will be ruined to the Jinguan City in Shu Capital.

You choose for yourself!

The helpless Ma Dingde could only surrender under "coercion and inducement". He said: Ji Duke's Dingwu and the Checheng stationed by the two armies of Yining are too far away. If Xifan launched a large-scale attack on Ji Duke, it may be unfavorable to support him.

"Don't worry about this matter. I have sent all Qiang and Manyi from 16,000 to reinforce Ji Gong. I only ask you how to defeat the foreign army, and you don't have to say much about the rest."

At this time, Ma Dingde stepped forward, pointed his finger at Pingrong City and Pengpo Mountain on the map, and focused on it, saying that the Tang family had to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot, and the critical joint was here...

Gongzhou, Jingzhou and Victoria, the late snow finally came. Among the peaks of Pengpo Mountain, the snow-white mist first burst out, filling the mountains and valleys. Then the world became darker. The wind from Qinghai to the southeast quickly pushed the fog and clouds over. All the peaks and grass were covered with lead gray, and then there was a freezing rain, hitting the car city where Gao Yue was, and the carriage was formed in various vehicles, tents and deer forts.

In order to freeze, when Gao Yue walked out of the curtain, he found that the entire Pengpo Mountain was covered with a larger "curtain" - dense snow, large patches of snow were spread out. Soldiers wearing cotton suits and armor were in teams, holding various tools, axes, saws and iron turtles, all trying to dig out the sand and soil under their feet, piled on all sides of the deer fort and wheels. After the rain and snow seeped into it, the soil was frozen particularly strong and could be used as a defense city wall.

"Concentrate all the artillery on the left wing of Checheng... All other teams can only leave tiger-crow cannons." On the ground platform that had just been built, Gao Gu's armor was covered with snow. When he saw that opposite the entire Checheng was a rolling hill, connected to Pengpo Mountain, which just blocked the cannon firing boundary, he asked to lay the heavy copper cannons to the left.

The Yining Army's Checheng is on the left, and the Dingwu Army's Checheng is on the right. The trenches are dug out in the middle, inside and outside. They are 1 meter wide, and are filled with bamboo sticks, thorns and crooked antlers. The digging of soil is piled up to form a "earth embankment" connecting the left and right Checheng. The bamboo and wood transported from the west mountain are also inserted into the edge of the earth embankment as a fence, and wooden boards are laid as a passage. The earth embankment itself forms a city wall, which just forms a "barb city"-style firepower configuration with the left and right Checheng.

At this time, the soldiers braved the snow, shouted and whipped and drove away the livestock. The hooves of various colors were shaking on the wooden boards, making a crackling sound. Their shoulders were shaking, pulling ropes, and pulling a large copper cannon from here to the other side, gathering them together. The soldiers of the Yining Army dug out a soil trough in the snow based on the original chariot city, and then dragged the copper cannons on their own, with the muzzle facing Momo in front.

A team of cavalry wrapped in cotton jackets and light armored cavalry, whips slammed and galloped to the ancient city of Pingrong, three miles away. They brought the order of Ji Gong to the Qiang girl camping here: "Stay here, wait until the reinforcements from the Western Fan come, and stop them, and ignite the beacon to inform the army."

After the cavalry left, Tang Lizhi and Deng Youxian were secretly happy and met in private and said, "It's time to snow heavily. Even if Gao Yue and Wei Gao poured all the Xichuan, Dongchuan and Xingyuan Fengxiang, they couldn't get into this cold weather. They climbed the mountain peaks, crossed the rope bridge, and sent food here. Therefore, the Tang army was eager to fight in a hurry. We happened to use this to ignite the beacon, lure Gao Yue's army here, and then switched to attack and kill with the Xifan army."

"If Gao Yue dared not fight, we pretended to be defeated and retreated from Pingrong's ancient city to him, leading the Xifan army to attack and besiege his Checheng."

At this time, opposite Pingrong City, under the wind and valleys, there was a vast highland. There were bursts of horse hooves coming from the wind and snow, "Come on, come on, the army of Xifan is here!" The Qiang girl from Pingrong's ancient city, the white dog and the two men fell, suddenly became excited.

I saw the Western Fan cavalry lined up, and countless pine-lit fires floated like a tide in the dim snowy day. The drums made of sheepskin and cowhide made a shocking sound, mixed with galloping horse hooves: the Western Fan cavalry in front were mostly guards and archers. They wore high felt hats. From a distance, they looked like two big ears. The horse's manes were full of snow. They were floating under the driving force. The archers carried bows and Hulu bags full of arrow feathers, while the guards were holding spears with their arms. Then behind were the imperial guards Dongdai, full of armor, all of which were full of armor. Some were wearing white-bottomed flower-tongue flags, some were lion flags, some were red lotus flags, and some were white dog flags, all of which were floating in the wind.

From Luoshe City to this place, it was about 3,000 miles away. The Western cavalrymen remained alone, and more mediocre people rode bad horses to drive away the cattle, mules and horses that carried the baggage, and followed them.

Many weak mediocre people, for various reasons, were exhausted or infected with diseases, died while running, and their bodies were thrown into the weeds, allowing vultures and crows on the plateau to peck at them.

On fifteen days, the soldiers and horses from all walks of life drove forward, extremely persevering, and unyieldingly gathered in front of the Pingrong City Road!
