Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Street pavilion?

Ma Chao frowned and looked eastward through the moonlight, lost in thought.

Although the Ma family of their lineage originated from Fufeng, their grandfather Ma Ping lived in Liangzhou after losing his official position.

Since his father Ma Teng grew up in Yongliang, Ma Chao is no stranger to Longshan as well.

Longshan is no better than the Qinling Mountains. Although it stretches far from north to south, there are many roads connecting Guanzhong and Yongliang, but generally speaking there are only two main roads.

The first is the Longshan River Valley Road, which starts from Shanggui and follows the Weishui River Valley, passing Linwei to Chencang and then crossing Longshan.

The second is the Guanlong Road, which starts from Guanzhong and goes northwest, passing through Yongxian, Qianmi, Qian (Yin Tongqian) counties and Jieting, and then you can reach Lueyang. Lueyang is connected in all directions, and you can follow the path to the west. Xingguo County goes directly to the north of Yongliang, and can also go south into the Longshan Valley Road, appearing between Shanggui and Linwei.

The priority of these two Long Roads is determined based on whether the Wei River is abundant.

During the dry season from November to March, the width of the Wei River narrows, and the exposed flat riverbed becomes the best road for business travel and marching.

For example, after the previous defeat at Tongguan, Han Sui and Ma Chao used the river valley march to escape back to Yongliang, and Cao Cao also marched in the river valley to pursue him.

After the dry season, business travelers had to detour to Lueyang Street Pavilion and take the more secure Guanlong Road for safety.

However, what the two Long Roads have in common is that they both pass through Shanggui.

Ma Chao was entrusted to guard this place. He was moved by Commander Pang's trust and lamented that Shanggui had nothing to do.

At this time, when he heard that Jian Yong mentioned the street pavilion, Ma Chao thought about it and became excited:

Mr. Jian, what do you think of me asking Zhenjieting or Lueyang?

Jian Yong touched his palm and praised:

The general is truly a great talent!

Seeing Jian Yong's reaction, a question mark popped up on Ma Chao's head: ?

Jian Yong praised him indifferently:

Although the river valley is wide and can be marched, Cao's army may also divide its forces.

If Cao's army passes through Lueyang and Xingguo and enters Yongliang, he will stab our army in the back and open the way to Longshan.

The most serious thing is to harm the Qiang people and make the Yongliang, Han and Qiang people separated and no longer one.

The general wants to control the street pavilions and attack the Han thieves to pacify Yongliang. This is actually an example for Yongliang!

Without any hesitation, Jian Yong held the lower part of his sleeve with his left hand and raised his thumb with his right hand to give a thumbs up.

This actually embarrassed Ma Chao: I really think so?

But soon Ma Chao figured out the logic and nodded:

This is exactly what I think, General!

At the same time, I admired in my heart: As expected of Mr. Jian, he knows everything clearly!

I can't hide anything I have in mind from Mr. Jian.

As for the thumbs-up gesture, Ma Chao also recognized it. Mr. Jian had previously explained that it was a common gesture among Liu Huangshu's subordinates, expressing both admiration and affirmation.

Being praised so much by Mr. Jian at this time, Ma Chao simply wished he could fly to the street pavilion to guard it right now.

Since it's not too late, I'll write a letter to Commander Pang right now. The general can go recruit troops and go ahead early tomorrow morning.

Although it was still night, Ma Chao didn't feel out of the blue. As Mr. Jian said, it should never be too late!

He wanted to guard the street pavilion, but he didn't want to waste time. Instead, he wanted to attack the street pavilion guarded by Cao Jun.

Ma Chao turned around and left without hesitation. As for Shanggui's safety?

Mr. Jane can definitely arrange it!

Standing there, Jian Yong looked at Ma Chao's hurried back and sighed with emotion:

Finally, Shi Yuan's request was fulfilled.

When formally preparing for war, Pang Tong walked the Long Road under the escort of Zhang Fei.

The position of the street pavilion is indeed important, but to be fair, it is indeed difficult to defend, and it requires a strong general.

But Zhang Fei wanted to guard Linwei, which was more important, so Pang Tong was concerned about Ma Chao.

Due to various factors, it was difficult to delegate Ma Chao directly, and Ma Mengqi was still a donkey.

He was dragged away and pushed back.

In this case, he could only ask for a fight. Fortunately, after a long time, Jian Yong was able to figure out Ma Chao's temper. He specially invited and gave guidance, and finally made this fierce general go straight to the street pavilion willingly.

Early the next morning, Jian Yong went up to the city wall of Shanggui again, stood here and sighed:

General Ma is indeed a role model for Yongliang.

A large flag has been erected in front of the city gate, and the word horse is flying in the cold wind.

Ma Chao put on his showman's attire again and rode a tall horse back and forth among the military formations. He would stop laughing from time to time, pat the Qiang cavalry's shoulders and say something happily.

In the distance, you can still see scattered Qiang and Hu horses riding towards here. These were all summoned by Ma Chao.

It has been a year since he came to Yongliang, and Jian Yong has learned not to be surprised by Ma Chao's prestige among the Qiang people.

But looking at the grand scene in front of him, Jian Yong could not help but sigh.

Pang De, who was beside Jian Yong, was already familiar with this scene and said casually:

The only thing the Qiang and Hu want is death.

Seeing Mr. Jian looking over curiously, he continued to explain:

The Qiang people can die from chaos, hatred, robbery, or beasts, but they cannot die from old age.

After saying that, Pang De also remembered his own experience, shook his head and said:

When I followed the former general, I started to quell the Qiang rebellion in the Chuping period. I conquered the Qiang and Hu every year, and the Qiang and Hu rebelled every year.

Jian Yong had nothing to say about this. It was not that the Qiang and Hu could not learn to farm. In fact, the imperial court had been working hard to promote the sinicization of the Qiang and Hu for two hundred years, but the results were obviously unsatisfactory.

There was no dislike or hatred towards the Qiang and Hu in Pound's words.

When they were drinking together before, Pound drunkenly talked about a turmoil in confusing words.

However, the rebellion of three to five hundred Qiang cavalry could be wiped out by Pang De with a snap of his fingers.

It was just that Pound's blood had not yet cooled down at that time, so he deliberately stayed alive to inquire about the cause of the chaos.

And the result... the officials captured slaves to please the officials in the capital, the Qiang and Hu rescued their relatives and attacked the county government, and Pang De obeyed the order and came to annihilate the Qiang and Hu.

Later, when he entered Chang'an with General Ma Teng, he passed by the palace of the capital official.

I couldn't dodge and was kicked by his slave.

Jian Yong still remembers the mocking look on Pound's face when he said this.

Look at the convinced expressions of the Qiang and Hu people in front of the city gate looking at Ma Chao.

Jian Yong felt that he understood why Yong Liang was so rugged and tough, so he simply made a suggestion:

If Ling Ming is confused, he might as well speak directly to Duke Xuande after this battle.

Pang De nodded, not surprised that Uncle Liu Huang would come to the battlefield in person.

After all, it was only a year ago that they were chased here from Tongguan by Cao Cao like a rabbit.

He had personally learned how Cao Cao was doing, and now Pang De was looking forward to what kind of grace this Xuande Gong was.

But when I think of Duke Xuande, I inevitably think of the gossip I’ve heard from people over the past year:

Three Hings of Yanhan?

Jian Yong smiled and said nothing.

In front of Linwei City, Zhang Ji, who was riding a horse, also had the same doubts in his mind:

Does Yanhan really want to be happy?

But Zhang Ji was not a fool, and of course he would not say these words himself. After all, Du Xi was right beside him.

So Zhang Ji threw out a question with his backhand:

General Du, are our troops going to attack the city?

Du Xi was a little hesitant. Linwei was not a big city and theoretically it should be easy to attack. However, Du Xi was also impressed that he did not get any benefits in Wuzhangyuan.

Besides, the prime minister was disgraced in Jingzhou last year. Du Xi thought that he was not as talented as the Marquis of Huaiyin, so waiting for the Chinese army was the best strategy, but...

Fortunately, Du Xi didn't have to hesitate for too long, because Linwei took the initiative to open the city gate.

Zhang Fei carried an iron spear and strolled out of the city on horseback. When he was two hundred steps away from Du Xi, he reined in his horse and said loudly:

Who is leading the army on the opposite side? Uncle Xiahou? Zhang He who took credit for killing people in Huainan? Or my second brother's fellow countryman Xu Gongming?

Du Xi and Zhang Ji looked at each other. They didn't expect that there was such a relationship between them, but they couldn't lose their momentum, so Du Xi also said loudly:

I am one of the four scholars of Yingchuan, the grandson of the prefect of Jiyin, Du Xi Du Zixu.

What he didn't expect was that soon Du Xi heard a thunderous voice from the other side:

Have not heard!

Does Military Master Pang know?

Du Xi squinted and saw a shield set up on the wall opposite, and then someone seemed to be saying something, and soon he heard Zhang Fei laughing:

Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Du Xi, the master who wants to bring order to the chaos! You and Fanxiu lived in Han Dynasty for a long time. Do you know if you can find a master now?

Du Xi blushed a little. He didn't expect that people here would have heard about what happened when he was young.

Then he pressed his throat and said loudly:

The only one who is enlightened now is Emperor Xudu! They falsely claimed that the clan members of the Han Dynasty despised the mandate of heaven, and in the name of benevolence and virtue, they committed treason.

Now we are under the imperial edict to punish the thieves and put an end to the chaos. If you have the emperor in your heart, and you can surrender to him face to face, you will not lose your title as a minister of the Han Dynasty.

Pang Tong on the city wall vaguely heard the general idea and became excited.

I have long heard that Prime Minister Zhuge would curse people to death in battle, isn't it just to show off his eloquence? Pang Tong can do it too.

But Zhang Fei roared under the city wall:

Bah! How shameless you are to deceive yourself!

After you turn around, whether you will go to Xudu or flatter Yecheng, I don't know?

Pang Tong patted his thigh on the city wall and sighed secretly: His voice is not as loud as Yi De! Missed opportunity!

But if he was asked to stand alone in front of the battle like Yide, he would never be able to do it.

Zhang Fei's straightforward words made Du Xi's eyebrows stand up, and Zhang Ji quickly stepped forward to persuade him.

Du Xi shook his head first:

Don't worry about your virtue. They are just provoking the generals. The more they are like this, the more we should wait for the Chinese army.

As for this flying...De Jong ordered a group of archers and sent them back to avoid making any noise here.

It's a pity that Du Xi failed to do so in the end.

Zhang Fei scolded him to his heart's content, but when he saw an archer, he retreated alertly, always keeping a distance of two hundred steps.

When the opponent retreats, he will bully him again to the front of the formation and continue high-intensity output.

After scolding like this for an hour, he finally rested, but soon after a quarter of an hour, Zhang Fei left the city again, and started to hold on to Du Xi's old things again.

The angle of the sun was just right, and Du Xi could even see a little reflection at the corner of Zhang Fei's mouth, and he immediately collapsed:

I bet you went in for dinner just now?

As a famous scholar, Du Xi was good at cultivating qi, but this kind of high-intensity personal attack before the battle made Cao's army's morale slip a bit.

Zhang Ji saw it and told Du Xi, but Du Xi hesitated:

If we get impatient and attack the city, taking off will play into their plan?

Du Xi has indeed led troops and knows how difficult it is to attack the city. If he attacks the city rashly at this time, he will definitely not be able to defeat it, and no matter how many soldiers die, they will die in vain.

And if he continues to bully, Du Xi is worried that there is a powerful crossbow like Wuzhangyuan on the opposite side, and if it is fired from high on the city wall, the range may be further.

So after careful consideration, Du Xi tried to be prudent: Retreat ten miles.

Zhang Ji always felt that something was wrong, but now that he could not attack the city, it seemed unrealistic to just wait and be scolded. It seemed unrealistic to wait for Zhang Fei to be scolded until his voice became mute. It seemed that retreating so that he did not dare to face the battle was the only option?

But soon, Zhang Ji understood where this uneasiness came from.

Seeing Cao's army setting up camp and retreating, Zhang Fei let out an earth-shattering roar:

Zi Long!

The call was answered by the rumble of iron hoofs. More than a thousand cavalry rushed out from the valley behind Linwei. Their troops were drawn out and they charged towards Cao's army who had just set up camp.

Pang Tong's head stuck out from the city wall, shaking his fan and laughing.

The news on Longdao has been blocked for nearly a year, and now it finally has results.

They are plotting against us, how can we know that we are not in the game?

There will be another update later, so no need to wait, you should see it tomorrow morning.
