Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 691 No matter how you come, I will go from...
The current situation is really a bit tricky. Although the Ma Chao and Qiang people came in two ways, it is different from the battle of Saerhu in the late Ming Dynasty. Regardless of whether the Liangzhou army or the Qiang people have more cavalry, the Cao Han army has more infantry, which is very important. It is possible that the two groups of thieves will join forces together, and it is very likely that either route will have more troops than Wang Hou's army!
The terrain is also particularly unfavorable to Chang'an. It was a mistake for Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu to allow the Qiang people to enter the Loess Plateau. At the junction of the Guanzhong Plain and the Loess Plateau, the terrain is broken and tortuous. I don't know how many checkpoints can directly enter the Guanzhong Plain. Guard against danger.

The other end of Liangzhou is also the long and narrow Hexi Corridor, which goes straight to the Guanzhong Plain, and the other end is not easy to defend.

Fortunately, when developing Guanzhong, Wang Hou's shrinking strategy was somewhat effective. He moved all the population that could be controlled by Xihe, Longxi and other counties in Beidi. It has shrunk a lot, making Guanzhong's overall defense difficulty much lower.

"The best way is to fortify the walls and clear the fields, collect the people in Chang'an, and organize the cavalry to resist the horse bandits and Qiang bandits. It only needs to be prepared for a month or two, and the two bandits will run out of food and retreat!"

"But! The prime minister sent us here not to hide and defend, but to calm down the bandits! If we were to defend passively, the villages and houses built in the fields this year would all be destroyed by war. The soldiers and people in Guanzhong no longer have confidence in us. It may not be possible to restore the scenery of Chang'an in a year, so I still feel that I should use this risk to face the battle!"

"General Xiahou, what do you think?"

It was the battle of Hefei, just like Zhang Liao, Li Dianle, and the five generals defending the city. Xia Houyuan was much more qualified than Wang Hou. Regardless of his high official status, he also took care of Xia Houyuan's face. When he expressed his thoughts, Wang Hou asked him sincerely again. meaning to come.

It is estimated that Cao Cao secretly confessed when he left Guanzhong, and Wang Hou also gave him face, but Xia Houyuan cooperated and ordered some melon seeds on his bearded and bearded head.

"Every time there is a big war, Wang Cangling can arrange the food for the logistics well. Following you, my old Xiahou also fought a few comfortable battles. A certain family takes your brain, so you make up your mind! Specifically how to fight , let's fight!"

"I led the Liaodong Cavalry Regiment and the Liaodi Mixed Brigade to preemptive strikes! Enter the Qiang land, and defeat the Qiang people in the valley between the mountains of the Banhuang Land, eight hundred miles away! General Xiahou, you sent out of Chang'an, stationed in the army, and stored 15 shi of grain in Chang'an , the [-] altars of stored oil are also transported here, using this as bait, if a horse thief comes, pester him to fight in Bashang! Our Qing army defeated the Qiang people, and immediately returned to the army to support the general!"

"In addition, I have two tips for General Xiahou!"

This precaution is self-evident!Sima Yi was looking around with his swollen eyeballs, while Wang Hou murmured in a low and rapid voice against his ear. He talked continuously for more than a minute, but Xia Houyuan was half convinced and half skeptical. First glanced at Sima Yi, who was beaten up with a bruised nose and swollen face, and pretended to be innocent, and then lowered his voice and asked back.

"This fire dragon team really has such a magical effect?"

"When the time comes, the general will know if he tries it!"

Mentioning this, Wang Hou smiled confidently, and then his eyes turned crookedly, and fell on Sima Yi.

"Zhongda, bring your own soldiers and follow me to the expedition!"

"Uh..., general, this officer "encountered bandits"! He was seriously injured, and I'm afraid that accompanying the army may drag the army down!"

"It's okay, we have a lot of troops, and this general really needs Zhongda's help with logistics! Zhongda won't refuse, right?"

To be honest, Wang Hou is really different from any powerful general he knows. Sima Yi is really afraid that Wang Hou, an old rascal, will send him to charge with the cavalry, and then arrange for him to "die in battle", but he has nothing in Guanzhong now. Genji, listening to Wang Hou's tone gradually becoming gloomy, pretending to be beeping and afraid that Wang Hou would push him out of the gate and behead him if he disobeyed the military order.

"The next officer listens to the order!"

…………

Sima Yi also had to come. When he was fine in Guanzhong, it was fine for him to be sick in Hanoi County. But if Chang’an fell, he, the governor of Yongzhou, didn’t even face him. That would be dereliction of duty. If you can put the blame on him, that would be beheading and ransacking the house!

Although this old-fashioned bee is not a good stubble, at least he rushed here in a hurry, and did not let the Qiang people and Liangzhou Ma Chao allied forces fight to the gate of Chang'an before reacting, which can be regarded as gaining some strategic advantages for Wang Hou.

The entire Jingzhaoyin area has been peacefully brought in. Food from Guanzhong cannot be brought in, but a lot of weapons have been brought in through various channels. Originally, most of the tenant farmers in Jingzhaoyin were soldiers and captives from Kansai, which can be regarded as a combination of soldiers and farmers. After distributing the iron tire bows and axes and guns with horizontal knives, another second-line army was pulled out to guard the villages on the spot to prevent Liangzhou stragglers from coming to rob.

Then there are more than [-] naturalized Xianbei people who are also playing a role now. As landlords, they need to perform military service, and they are all assembled under a single order. Their task is to concentrate support. The skirmishers attack and counterattack as quickly as possible. Once Bashang fights Ma Chao, they also have to act as support for the rear.

However, the command of this precious cavalry was handed over by Wang Hou to the general Chengyin candidate.

On the one hand, there is no doubt about the employment, on the other hand, before Wang Hou left, he also beat the two of them!

If they turn against the water, it is best for them to restore the status of the separatist warlords in Longxi Jincheng, and they have become the death ground of the Kanto, and there is no way out. However, if they perform well in this defensive battle, they can be fully accepted into the Liaodong system. No matter how the emperor is, he can still have the title and the land, and maintain the status of a master to favor his descendants.

After experiencing a big defeat in Weinan, the subordinates led the naturalized Xianbei cavalry. In contrast, the two generals from Guanzhong were dedicated to preparing for the defense.

The city of Chang'an suffered another disaster. Xiahouyuan had many infantry and could not ride more than [-]. The infantry group had to rely on fortifications to defend against Liangzhou's light cavalry group. The heavy beams, pillars and even the gate boards and bed boards were transported to Bashang by Cao Jun's infantry, and the Luzhai wooden building with fences was built on the spot.

Lunzhi has not been idle on this side. Since Zhang Lu sent someone to inform of the turmoil in Central Sichuan, he naturally has some ideas about the struggle between the two Lius in Yizhou, but now Wang Hou himself is also at risk of the chrysanthemum being exploded. Now, he can only rely on his family's mine and use materials to support Zhang Lu.

In front of Pingyang Pass, the old man climbed to the pass again tired and out of breath. After the notification, General Zhang Wei of Hanzhong came out with a hundred cavalry in a short time. , more than 2000 strong men in homespun clothes, this guy was full of disdain and sneered.

"My brother donated 30 stone grains to Ru Guanzhong. When the soldiers are ready, Ru Guanzhong will use these thousands of crooked melons and split dates to deal with it! What a sense of justice!"

He didn't talk nonsense with him, just picked up a crowbar, and pried open the wooden box pulled by the car with a bang. The straw was coated with lard for maintenance, and the shiny high-quality tortoise shell armor was thrown into the trash by Lun. Throw it at Zhang Wei's feet.

After prying open more than a dozen boxes, the insides were either unused brand-new plate armor or extremely sharp halberds and horizontal knives. When Lun Zhi was about to pry open the No. 11 box, Zhang Wei's face had completely changed. With a smile, he quickly pressed his hand.

"You little one has no eyes, Daddy Lun! This way, please! Come here! Don't even order Guanzhong to make a meal to entertain Daddy Lun! Boil the best tea that I will have!"

These days, arms dealers are so arrogant!Holding his head high and proud like an iron man, Lun was invited into Pingyang Pass with a pace that his relatives would not recognize.

Among the several armies, Wang Hou was the first to set off. There are many horses in the Hudi of Liaodong, [-] infantry and [-] cavalry, each carrying seven days of dry food, all riding on horseback!Taking advantage of the darkness of the day, the elite soldiers of Liaodong have already marched northward first!

He didn't stay in Chang'an to make some troubles, and he had to worry about his own head. The old thief Sima was obviously absent-minded, and while bumping with the horse, his lips that were shaved like sausages were bald and bald!
He rode right beside him, his blood boiling for a long time, holding the reins of the horse with both hands, and staring at the leading cavalry ahead carrying the lantern, Wang Hou's own eyes were full of coldness!

"My lord! Huangtoubazi is here!"

"Into the original!"
