Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 726
Zhang Da was embarrassed when he heard it, and reminded: "General, [-]!"

"What's wrong with the [-]? The food for the [-] army will be so much that we can't finish it. Let me find out again. I want to know the details of Xia Houmao." Zhang Fei looked disdainful.

"Wei." Zhang Da left cautiously with his fists cupped.

Zhang Da was taken away by Zhang Fei for his meritorious service in Jiangxia, and he followed Zhang Fei to invade Liangzhou several times to fight. He found that the original reckless boss became more and more shrewd.

Zhang Da didn't know what happened to Zhang Fei in the past few years. He always liked the black-faced general who was reckless in his memory, but now he especially liked playing tricks.

As soon as Zhang Da left, Zhang Fei called to accompany Wu Er, and said with a serious face: "Ma Zun can't shrink back during this time, and the soldiers have no battle to fight, so they have become a little lazy. You hurry up and pull them away." Go practice."

"Is there a war?" Wu Er asked curiously.

Zhang Fei nodded, "Xia Houmao led [-] soldiers to rescue Tianshui. Seeing that the food and grass were almost exhausted, Cao Pi was so considerate of my difficulties and sent someone to deliver them in time."

"That's a good thing, the last general will go to training." Wu Er left happily.

Outside the peaceful city of Ji County, thunderous hooves sounded again. Ma Zun rushed to the city with the county officials when he heard the news. When he saw the thick smoke in the distance, he fell into deep thought.

The chief secretary Yin Shang looked at the young man beside Ma Zun and asked meaningfully: "Isn't Zhang Fei going to attack the city for Boyue (Jiang Wei)?"

Gongcao Liang Xu quickly retorted: "What is Master Yin talking about? Why should Zhang Fei be serious when he speaks nonsense? Everyone in Jicheng knows Boyue's father, and he is only of the same family as General Fuyi (Jiang Xu)."

There was no reason for Zhang Fei to invade Liangzhou, it was a normal attack between Cao and Liu, but after he introduced Jiang Wei, it caused an incredible reaction in Jicheng.

Zhang Fei's repeated harassment turned into revenge with a clear purpose. He did not retreat or advance under the circumstances of the strong walls and clear fields in the counties, so it seemed that there was a reason for the incident.

The counties of Tianshui have strengthened the walls and cleared the fields, and moved all the surrounding people into the city. This made the originally balanced resource relationship suddenly become unbalanced.

The limited land and resources in the city cannot support the overloaded personnel, and the life of the people gradually becomes difficult.

Life in the city is getting more and more difficult, and Zhang Fei's cavalry is intimidating outside the city. The dilemma seems to be waiting for death.

The contradictions caused by the lack of resources slowly spread from the bottom to the top, causing hatred among the people who originally understood Jiang Wei, and finally spread to the entire Tianshui Jiang clan.

Emotions are like an air conditioner, where there is an air inlet, there must be an air outlet.

The suffering people also had anger. They had nowhere to vent their anger, and gradually transferred to Tianshui Jiang and Jiang Wei's family.

Some people in the Jiang surname also questioned Jiang Jiong, thinking that Ma Chao would not hate Jiang Jiong for no reason, guessing that Jiang Jiong must have done something unknown.

Jiang Wei, who just turned 20 years old, was under great pressure from everything that happened secretly in Jicheng. If the prefect Ma Zun did not try his best to control it, Jiang Wei and Jiang's mother might be pushed out to take the blame.

Jiang Xiong died fighting for Tianshui County, Ma Zun dared not and could not push Jiang Wei out, otherwise he would not be able to face the Jiang family in Tianshui afterwards.

Ma Zun did not believe that this was Zhang Fei's conspiracy, because such a complicated divorce scheme could not have come from the head of a reckless man.

"The enemy is at present, you don't have to quarrel. Zhang Fei's black servant really dared to attack. The prefect will live and die with the people of Ji County, but they don't have siege equipment. It is not easy to enter the city." Ma Zun and the county official We calmly analyze the situation.

Chief Secretary Yin Shang shook his head and sighed: "The lowly position is not because of fear of war. It's really that Zhang Fei is too rascal. He neither besieged nor attacked by force. With the excellent maneuverability of the cavalry alone, he suppressed several cities in Tianshui. If Zhang Fei really broke the city by force, we will I don’t regret it even if I die in battle, it’s just too embarrassing now.”

"Zhang Fei doesn't have a lot of troops, and all of them are single cavalry. How could he attack the city recklessly? Now he is going into battle lightly, using deterrence to consume Tianshui's resources. There must be expert guidance behind him." The young Jiang Wei gently frown.

The chief secretary Yin Shang sneered: "It is said that Boyue is a unicorn from Tianshui. He is familiar with the scriptures and history and has outstanding marksmanship. Why don't you ask for orders to retreat Zhang Fei?"

"It's all right." Jiang Wei replied equally coldly.

These days, Jiang Wei has been so cold-eyed, and the negative emotions absorbed in his chest are too much, and he is about to be unable to hold on, and he needs to find a place to vent.

Ma Zun watched the two quarreling, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Speak less, I know how to defeat the enemy. The prefect knows well. Although Bo Yue is a young hero, Zhang Fei is not an ordinary reckless man. He is famous all over the world. Enemy, you should not be underestimated."

The chief secretary Yin Shang shook his head and explained: "The lowly position is also worried about the situation in Jixian County. Now that General Zidan (Cao Zhen) has gone to Hexi, Zhang Fei can come and go freely in Tianshui with a few thousand cavalry. He should be punished by His Majesty after the war, hey."

"It's good to have a clear conscience, Zhang Fei is not something we can deal with." Ma Zun showed a bitter smile.

"If the prefect can allocate some soldiers to the humble position, it may not be impossible to fight Zhang Fei." Jiang Wei heard the discouragement of the two, but his fighting spirit was ignited.

Ma Zun patted Jiang Wei on the shoulder and persuaded in a low voice, "Bo Yue, don't show off your courage. There is indeed a gap between the soldiers of Jicheng and the soldiers of Wudu. This is a visible fact, so it doesn't matter whoever leads the army. Just do your own thing."

"Uh, okay." Jiang Wei is too young now, it's inevitable that he won't be trusted.

Seeing this, Ma Zun nodded in relief, and then continued to comfort him: "Bo Yue doesn't need to underestimate himself. Even if Zhang Fei is an enemy of thousands of people, even if his cavalry is so powerful, there are still only a few thousand people. We will stand by and wait for help. question."

Jiang Wei nodded in response: "Things are abnormal, there must be a demon. The humble official guessed that His Majesty's reinforcements should have arrived, and Zhang Fei is preparing for war."

"It would be great if it is true. Tianshui has already consumed Zhang Fei for a hundred days, and he just waits for a joint attack with reinforcements inside and outside." Liang Xu echoed with a smile.

Yin Shang was not so optimistic. He reminded everyone: "Everyone is deeply impressed by the superiority of Zhang Fei's cavalry. The troops in Tianshui counties originally surpassed each other, but they never formed a joint force. In the end, he led them by the nose. We still stick to it." Ji County is better."

"Actually yes"

"The director is right. We have been cheated a few times during the [-]-day period. After losing so much money, don't we have a long memory? Give the opportunity to make meritorious deeds to capable people, and we can cooperate to play assistants."

Jiang Wei was interrupted by Ma Zun in the middle of his speech. The dissatisfaction of the people in the city with the Jiang family had spread to the county officials. As the prefect, he wanted to contain the signs.

Zhang Fei asked the cavalry to resume drills outside Jicheng, and after a few days the main force slowly moved towards Wangyuan.

The defenders of Jicheng are terrified now, and they dare not leave the city when they see the opponent leave, because the memory of the hundred days is really deep, and they will really be unable to defend if they are blackmailed.

"Xia Houma really sent troops from Shanggu today?" Zhang Fei confirmed the opponent's whereabouts.

Zhang Da nodded and replied: "Yes, Xia Houmao waited for the return of Qishan Dao's soldiers and horses. A complete 3 people came to Jixian County, and all the luggage was transported from the Weishui River. Such a large force is not easy to divide. General, we What should I do?"

Zhang Fei didn't panic at all. He asked Wu Er to gather nearly a hundred officers under his tent, and said solemnly to everyone: "Xia Houmao has [-] mobs, and the number of cavalry is about the same as ours. I thought we could use sparrow warfare to deal with it. This tactic is only used in the sand table. You have practiced before, you can't embarrass me."
