At the foot of Longshan Mountain, outside Fanxukou, tens of thousands of fine riders were stationed on both sides of the valley road to rest. Zhang He took the sheepskin water bag handed over by his bodyguard and took a big gulp, then looked around and saw

Everything is silent and there is no one around.

"It seems that it is still useful for us to abandon the infantry and travel day and night. There is no one guarding the Shu army at such a dangerous place as Xu Dao Crossing, which shows that they are insufficient in strength and have no time to rush to Longshan Crossing to defend." Zhang He said lightly.

Together with Yu Jin, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Le Jin, this general who was over fifty years old was known as the Five Good Generals of Cao Wei. He had great military exploits and was famous far and wide. He made great contributions to the foundation of Cao Wei.

Now that Yu Jin and other four generals have all passed away one after another, only Zhang He is left among the five good generals. Therefore, Emperor Wei relied heavily on him, so he was entrusted with the task of leading an elite army of 50,000 to rescue Longyou.

Zhang He had been a general in Liangzhou, Longyou for many years and knew the geography of the two places well. Therefore, when he first received the imperial edict from Emperor Wei, he had a military plan in mind. He rushed from Longshan Avenue to seize the Longshan lands.

At the crossing, firmly holding the gate of Shanglong for reinforcements is the key to turning the tide of the war.

Now it seems that he has gained the upper hand. As long as he can regain Lueyang and occupy the important pass of Jieting, there will be no obstacle for his reinforcements to go to Long. After leaving a thousand soldiers to guard Fanxukou, Zhang He led the army into Longyou.

earth.

"Report, general, the street pavilion in front is already guarded by Shu troops." A scout came to Zhang He and reported.

Zhang He raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked one after another: "How many people are there in the bandit army? Who leads the army? And how do they set up camp?"

"There are about ten thousand people in the Shu army. They are divided into two strongholds. One is on Nanshan Mountain and the other is in Jieting City. We dare not go deep into it. We only see a general's flag and write a letter to supervise the army and supervise the pass in the central part.

prosper."

"Guan Xing originally came to capture Guangwei County. It makes sense for him to lead his troops to stop our army." Zhang He thought to himself: "Oh, it's still a step too late. Zhuge Liang had already expected that I would come to capture the street pavilion.

After dealing with it, this person is really resourceful!"

Zhang He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. His own troops were so fast but they didn't achieve full success, which made him feel a little regretful.

However, he then thought about it. He had tens of thousands of fine cavalry under his command, and most of the Shu army were new soldiers. Moreover, although Guan Xing was the son of Guan Yu, he had no outstanding military exploits. He expected that he was no match for him, so he defeated Guan Xing and attacked.

We should be 70 to 80 percent sure of getting to the lower street pavilion.

"It's better to go to Jieting to see the Shu army's camp and formation before making any calculations."

Zhang He already had an idea in mind, and immediately ordered the troops to speed up and go straight to the street pavilion.

After two days of repairs, the original dilapidated street pavilion wall has been completely renewed. The gaps, collapsed walls, and large holes no longer exist. Although it is still not very strong, it is still enough for the Han army to defend.

Already.

"Report to the Lord, tens of thousands of Wei cavalry appeared fifty miles away, running towards the street pavilion." On the city wall, Yang Qing was inspecting whether the antlers of the horse and deer outside the city were properly deployed. Suddenly, a sentry rushed forward to report.

.

Yang Qing nodded slightly and said, "You came so quickly." He then asked, "Can you see the Wei army's flag clearly?"

"Returning to the throne, the enemy general leading the army is Cao Wei Zuo General Zhang He."

Yang Qingdao: "It is indeed him." He turned to Zhou Xing and said: "De Mao, hurry up and send the order to Guan Xing. Wang Ping is ready to fight."

"promise."

After Zhou Xing left, Yang Qing held his hands on the city wall, looked into the distance with a slight smile, and secretly said: "Come on, Zhang He, let me, Yang Qing, come and meet you, the last five good generals."

The fifty-mile journey can be reached in half a day for the cavalry. When Zhang He led the Wei army to the street pavilion, the Han army had just had lunch.

"The Wei army has arrived, please order all the troops to brace themselves and prepare to fight." Guan Xing on Nanshan Mountain looked at the thick cavalry of Cao Wei at the foot of the mountain and ordered with a solemn expression.

At this moment, Zhang He at the foot of the mountain sent orders to the army to set up camp, and at the same time led more than a hundred cavalry to see the Han army's camp in person.

Throughout his life as a soldier, Zhang He had extremely rich battlefield experience. He used his troops skillfully, was good at positioning his camps, and knew the battle situation and terrain well. He was extremely good at using the terrain to devise appropriate strategies to gain victory.

Although he saw that the Han army was indeed guarding Nanshan and the city, his expression did not change much. However, after he patrolled Nanshan once, his expression became serious.

It turned out that when Zhang He saw the landscape of Nanshan for the first time, he knew that there was no water source on the mountain, and he had a vague plan in mind to cut off the Han army's water access route on the mountain.

However, when he turned to the north of Nanshan to look at the stream, he suddenly found that more than a thousand Han troops were waiting on the bank. Although the number of enemy troops was not large, they were well-equipped, well-armed, and had strongholds. Therefore, Zhang He knew that

It would be difficult for him to quickly defeat this Han army before reinforcements from the mountains and the city arrived.

"Sure enough, the Guan Xing family has a long history, and it is impossible to make such a simple mistake as abandoning the water source. It seems that I have thought too much." Zhang He sighed in his heart.

Looking at the stream unwillingly, Zhang He led his troops forward to explore Jieting City. When he arrived outside the city, he soon discovered the general's flag hanging high above the city.

"General Anhan, governor of the rear Yang Qing?" Zhang He exclaimed: "Yang Qing! It turns out that the leader of the Shu army is not Guan Xing but Yang Qing. Isn't this person in Longxi County? How could he be here? Could it be?

..."

These days, information about the Han army in Longyou has been continuously reaching Zhang He. Although it is only a rough idea, Zhang He already knows the main generals and the distribution of the Han army's troops.

Yang Qing was sent by Zhuge Liang to attack Longxi County, but the fact that he appeared in the street pavilion now indicates that Longxi County has probably been captured by the Han army. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Zhuge Liang urgently summoned Yang Qing back because he wanted to deal with himself.

But if Longxi County really falls, something bad will happen. Liangzhou...

Zhang He did not dare to think about it anymore. He withdrew his thoughts and forced himself to concentrate on the street pavilion. He knew that only by clearing out the enemy troops here could his 50,000-strong army truly be effective.

"Your Majesty, look quickly, there are Wei troops wandering outside the city." On the city wall, Zhou Xing pointed at Zhang He and others and shouted.

Yang Qingdao said: "This is the Wei army scouting the horse to see the strength of our army. The leader seems to be a general." He looked hard with his eyes open and saw that the man in the lead was really dressed as a general. He thought to himself: "Could it be Zhang He?"

?”

Then he ordered: "Guli Zha, order you to lead the cavalry out of the city to drive away this Wei army. Of course, it is best if you can capture and kill the leading Wei general."

"Follow orders."

Soon the city gate was opened, and Guliza led hundreds of cavalry and rushed towards the Wei army. Zhang He understood that the Han army was coming to drive him away, so he didn't hesitate and immediately led his troops to retreat.

Zhang He saw the opportunity so quickly that Guli Zha could not catch up. When the Wei army returned to the stronghold, he also led the cavalry back into the city. Yang Qing also knew that it was impossible to leave the Wei general behind so easily, and retreated to explore the horse.

Even though the mission was completed, I still gave Guliza a few words of encouragement.

Zhang He returned to the camp and immediately summoned the generals and majors to discuss strategies to defeat the enemy. However, the Han army's camp was tightly packed and there was no opportunity to take advantage of it. Moreover, the Han army's military strength was similar to that of his own, and it also occupied a favorable terrain. If he wanted to make a move,

It is more difficult to defeat.
