Chapter 389: Soldiers sent to Liangzhou

Just as the Wei army on the east road was getting closer and closer to the Wu army's trap, the Han army far away in Liangzhou in the northwest also made great moves.

On this day, the Han army camp north of Fengdao City was filled with flags and horns, and tens of thousands of soldiers stood in the schoolyard, ready to go.

On the general's stage, the expressions of the senior officials and generals were both solemn and unconcealed, among which Wei Yan was the most excited.

He was dressed neatly, with a treasure knife hanging on his waist. A breeze blew up, blew up the fiery red cloak behind him, making him look majestic.

Not long ago, the five thousand front-line troops who had originally returned to Hanzhong to rest finally arrived in Nan'an. The troops of the army attacked Liang had reached 14,000. With the advantage of Qiang and Hu and the powerful responding, these tens of thousands of troops were enough to sweep away the seven counties of Liangzhou.

In addition, after the war between Wu and Wei families on the eastern front, the Wei army in Liangzhou became even more isolated and helpless. Today, the territory was favorable and the people were all on Ji Han's side, which was the time to send troops to restore Liang. Therefore, Wei Yan, Yang Qing, Fei Yi and others had decided to choose to fight today.

The army attacked Liang was dominated by Wei Yan, Ma Dai as the vanguard, Chen Shi as the defender, Fei Yi followed the Central Army to contact the righteous and counsel the military, while Yang Qing was in charge of Longyou to promote military funds. As for the transportation of food and grass on the front line, Liang Xu, the prefect of Nan'an, was responsible for the responsibility of Liang Xu.

On the day the army vowed, Yang Qing also rushed over from Shangqi. Seeing that everything had been arranged, he said to Wei Yan beside him: "General Wen Chang, is it time to set off?"

Wei Yan nodded, stepped forward three steps, pulled out his sword and pointed it into the sky, shouting loudly: "Go to the battle."

After the military order was issued, the drums were heard, and tens of thousands of soldiers, led by the leader of the generals, set out in four rows.

"Mingzhi, since that's the case, then I'll say goodbye." Wei Yan bowed slightly.

Fei Yi and others also bowed and said goodbye: "Eunuch Yang, let's say goodbye."

"You are all the way, Qing is waiting for news of victory in Longyou." Yang Qing returned the greetings one by one.

Jincheng County was established later, and was established by Emperor Zhao of Han in the sixth year of Shiyuan. At first, he ruled the nine counties of Jincheng, Yunwu, Yuzhong, Lingju, Yunjie, Paohan, Zhiyang, Haomen, and Baishi.

The county was originally in Jincheng County, and later moved to Yunwu County. During the reign of Emperor Guangwu, Jincheng County was briefly incorporated into the nearby Longxi County. Later, Emperor Ming divided Jincheng County out, but the number of counties under his jurisdiction decreased, and it changed from nine counties to seven counties.

Now, the number of counties in Jincheng County has decreased by one, leaving only six counties: Jincheng, Yuzhong, Lingju, Yunjie, Zhiyang and Haomen, and the capital has also been moved to Yuzhong County.

Although the territory of Jincheng County is getting smaller and smaller, its status is still important. This place borders Nan'an County and is the east gate of Liangzhou. It is also the front line for the Wei army to resist the invasion of the Han army. Its location is crucial.

If Jincheng is lost, the Wuwei County, the core of Liangzhou, will face the Han army's blade. Therefore, the safety of Jincheng County is related to the battle situation in the entire Liangzhou. Otherwise, once the Han army is allowed to attack the city of Guzang, Xu Miao and others will have no way out.

Therefore, when the news of the Han army's invasion reached Yuzhong, Jia Chun, the prefect of Jincheng, sent envoys to report to Guzang, while shrinking his troops, abandoning other counties, and concentrating on defending Yuzhong City.

Because Jia Chun and Li Mai were defeated and fled by Yang Qing, who returned from Longxi County in the battle to lead troops to invade Nan'an, the number of soldiers and soldiers guarding the city is now only more than a thousand soldiers. The others are either the recruits who were later added or the Min Zhuang recruited in recent months, and their combat power is far inferior to that of Wei Yan's elite troops.

Fortunately, Jia Chun led the military and civilians to continuously build fortifications, strengthen the city walls, and conducted basic military training for civilians, which made the Wei army barely withstand the attack of the Han army and would not collapse at once.

At the city of Yuzhong, the Han army finally arrived at the capital of Jincheng County after recovering several cities without bloodshed, thus ushering in the first battle in the true sense.

As the golden drums sounded, the soldiers who were sieging the city retreated again. This was the third defeat in two days, and the originally high morale had dropped a little.

However, Wei Yan, who was standing in front of the formation, did not look much disappointed. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at the Wei army on the opposite city. Seeing that they cheered for repelling the Han army once again, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart and said, "Let me wait for a while and then I will argue with you tonight."

Thinking of this, Fei Yi turned to the other side and asked, "Wenwei, are you ready for this tonight?"

"Don't worry, envoy Wei, you are ready. There will be a signal in the city during the third update tonight." Fei Yi immediately bowed and replied.

Since entering the territory of Liangzhou, Fei Yi and others have changed from the original general to the envoy, because from now on, Wei Yan, the governor of Liangzhou who was in a remote position, finally became a real position. After all, several cities have been recovered by the Han army, so he, the governor, has land under his control.

Of course, this title made Wei Yan very useful. Even if it was not the first time he heard it, he was still quite content in his heart at this moment, so he smiled and replied, "It's great. If this matter is done, remember your great achievements."

"Thank you, the envoy."

Fei Yi thanked him and reminded him: "But the envoy, the Zhao family and the Wang family have given us a letter of resignation to us and showed enough sincerity, but there will inevitably be no deception. Therefore, when the army enters the city tonight, we must be careful not to rebel against the tricks of the Wei people."

"Well, Wen Wei reminded me very much." Wei Yan nodded and said proudly: "I have my own arrangements for the matter tonight. As long as the city gate is opened, there will be fraud, and I will make him fake it and make it true."

"Yes, everything is subject to the command of the envoy."

Soon, at the third o'clock in the evening, a group of people holding sharp swords suddenly appeared on the streets in Yuzhong City. Judging from the number of people, there were no less than 200 people.

When the Han army attacked, the curfew was strictly imposed in Yuzhong City. As soon as the night came, soldiers would patrol each street. Once suspicious figures or spies were found, the patrol sergeants had the right to kill them immediately.

However, when these more than 200 people were walking on the street, they did not meet a group of soldiers inquiring. It was not until they arrived at the West City Gate that they were discovered by the Wei army on duty.

"Who will stop immediately? The city gate is strong and must not get close to it." Qu Chang, who was on duty, vaguely saw a figure shaking two hundred steps ahead and shouted.

"Brothers, rush up, open the city gate, and welcome the king's army into the city!" The visitor did not answer directly, but instead heard a shout of killing.

Na Qu Chang secretly shouted "Not good" and quickly ordered: "There are thieves who seize the city gate, the crossbowman is ready to release..."

Before the arrow was spoken, the long song suddenly found that his throat was hoarse and a cramp came from his abdomen. He slowly lowered his head and saw a steel knife passing through his stomach.

A mouthful of blood was spurted out, and the long song turned around hard, and finally saw clearly the murderer who killed him at the last moment before his consciousness was dissipated. He was a treasury leader under his command.

"Zhao Guan, what are you doing? You...you dare to kill Chief Qu." At this time, a Wei army garrison leader who heard the sound saw his chief Qu lying in a pool of blood, and couldn't help but point at Zhao Guan and shout angrily.
