Moreover, this time they came to Longyou for an unexpected attack. In order to save marching time, they did not carry many arrows and crossbows.

For example, the special crossbow arrows of Yuan Rong's crossbow have been exhausted.

The defense of the camp was much weaker.

Every time, the rebel Wei generals climbed onto the low wall of the camp and fought hand to hand.

This is also the reason why the Prime Minister did not dare to mobilize the troops here to help Zheng Pu guard Xiaoguandao.

After all, if Xiaoguandao was lost, they could still show off their relatives, and the two counties of Lueyang would continue to block the road and set up defenses to block Cao's army's way south.

However, if Jieting is lost, the Wei army can march straight into Tianshui County and drink the Mawei River, making the outcome of the Northern Expedition no longer possible.

Zijin, you must hold on for a little longer!

At least, we must hold on until Chen Shibu rushes for help!

I also hope that God will have mercy on me, a big man!

The Prime Minister, who believed that man can conquer heaven, prayed devoutly to God for the first time in his life.

However, God's will was no better than his.

Only four days later, with two days left before he gave Chen Shi a deadline to rush for reinforcements, Zheng Pu's military report arrived again.

It’s no longer just a few lines.

say:

"Pu was originally a humble man, but the Prime Minister never gave up. Seeing that his trust was abnormal, he was promoted many times and entrusted with important tasks. Pu was so grateful that he could not repay him. Now the army against the Wei Dynasty is nearly three times larger than mine. It came out of Xiao Guandong; against the Wei Dynasty

General Zhang He of the left, with about 3,000 cavalry, came north via Liangzhou and attacked us vigorously. Pu's troops were few and incompetent. He was unworthy of the Prime Minister's kindness in promoting him and was already in dire straits! I hope the Prime Minister will deploy defenses in the rear as soon as possible and do this early.

Plan. Pu will try his best and delay it. If he doesn’t die, no one of his soldiers can defeat Wei!"

After the Prime Minister looked at it, he couldn't help but his eyes were slightly wet, he raised his head and sighed to the sky.

He An Neng didn't know that Zheng Pu's military report was also the last book he wrote!

After Fa Xiaozhi died of illness, there was almost no one in the Han Dynasty who had the talent for planning and planning!

Finally, the young Zheng Pu came to the fore, and every plan he made was successful; everything he decided was not biased!

He also devoted himself to training and promoted without hesitation. Because he was a scholar from Yizhou, he was afraid that he would not be tolerated by his colleagues in the future, so he even considered his marriage.

I hope that in the future, after my death, this son can take up the banner of restoring the Central Plains and extend Han Zuo's reign!

But I didn’t expect that today it would wither away!

How can the long sky be inferior to me, the great Han Xie?

When he was young, the prime minister suppressed the grief and anger in his heart, and sat upright on the bed with a straight face.

He is a very tenacious person.

The Han Dynasty suffered successive defeats at Xiangfan and Yiling, as well as the death of the late emperor Liu Bei in Yong'an. He firmly believed that one day, Bashu would regain its old capital, and the Han Dynasty would eventually conquer the Central Plains and extend the glory of Han Zuo for another four hundred years!

Now, he has not given up this idea.

After thinking for a while, he wrote and wrote quickly, and wrote out all the arrangements for the worst ending.

He ordered Guan Xing to serve as a separate governor and immediately rushed to Chengji County with five thousand people to guard the city.

It not only threatened the Wei army's retreat, so that it would not dare to march south; it also echoed the Wei Yan tribe stationed in Pingxiang City to prevent him from being cut off from his return route.

He ordered General Gao Xiang and more than 10,000 soldiers to immediately rush to Lueyang County to block the road and defend the Wei army from Xiaoguan. They drove to the rear of the street pavilion to attack.

He ordered Wu Yi's tribe in Tianshui County to hand over the responsibility of appeasing the common people in the capital of Guizhou to Wu Ban and take charge.

This allowed him to separate and rush to Xianqin County to set up camp, blocking the possibility of the Wei army going south along the Changli River (Hulu River) valley.

Even Deng Zhi's troops, who were about to arrive in Tianshui County, had general orders sent to them.

Instead, let him escort the grain, fodder, and baggage with more than a thousand people.

Four thousand soldiers and horses were detached to speed up the march and rushed to Xianqin County to defend it together with Wu Yi's troops.

After all, Wu Yi's troops now only have three thousand soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to stop the Wei army.

After arranging everything, the prime minister asked his servants to bring armor and put it on, and he personally walked up to the low wall of the camp, and the soldiers with swords in hand bravely defended the camp.

Well, Cao Zhenying also learned that the Wei army from Anding County had left Xiao Pass.

Therefore, in the past few days, I personally beat the drums to encourage the soldiers to attack day and night regardless of life and death, making the battle extremely fierce.

The reason was simply that he wanted to hold back the Prime Minister's troops here and prevent him from sending troops to Xiaoguandao for reinforcements.

As for Zheng Pu, why he was in emergency twice in four days must start with Ma Di leaving in anger.

That day he and Zheng Pu parted on bad terms, feeling extremely embarrassed and ashamed.

The anger that burned away his reason made him feel that Zheng Pu was an ungrateful man!

It was obvious that he had been recommended by him, it was obvious that he was aware of his embarrassing situation in the army, and it was obviously a God-given opportunity to make achievements, but he actually refused!

He actually refused!!

Can An be so evil?

It is true that he wanted to attack Xiaoguan for his own selfish gain, but it was also an act of benefit to the country!

In the future, when I send troops to seize the three auxiliary places in Guanzhong, how can I not take the Xiaoguan Road! Now I take the opportunity to seize Xiaoguan, repair it, and rely on it as a gateway. Wouldn't it be a great opportunity?

Short-sighted people!

Not enough!

Ma Su was so angry that he decided to send troops out of Xiaoguan.

People can do it, but I think they can!

He wants to prove his ability and establish his prestige with a big victory.

Let the critics in the army be silent and make people like Zheng Pu feel ashamed!

Because in his plan, he felt that even if Wei Wei knew that he had given up the geographical advantage and came to occupy Xiao Pass, no large army would attack. As Zheng Pu thought, the Wei army sent a separate force to trap Yang Tiao in Yuezhi City.

, all the troops came with a long march, but it was difficult to make the journey.

It relies on the terrain of Anding County.

Long refers to a high place.

The reason why Tianshui, Longxi and other counties are called Longyou is because the terrain is much higher than that of Sanfu in Guanzhong.

Similarly, Anding County can be called Longdong, while Wudu County can be called Longnan.

However, the strategic significance of Anding and Wudu counties cannot be compared with Longyou, so few people call it "Long".

Due to the terrain of Anding County, if the Wei army wants to send a large army, it will inevitably be constrained by the difficulty of supplying food and baggage. As long as it can hold on for half a month, the Wei army will inevitably run out of food and retreat.

What to fear!

With this thought in mind, after returning to his camp, Ma Su gathered four of his generals, Zhang Xiu, Li Sheng, Huang Xi and Wang Ping, and announced that he would lead his army to Xiaoguan.

Zhang Xiu, Li Sheng and Huang Xi were transferred by the Prime Minister to Ma Su's command when they were in Hanzhong County.

Regarding Ma Su's order, after looking at each other in disbelief, they did not dare to argue.
Chapter completed!
