Although he was victorious, Zhao Yun was cautious by nature and still sent out horses and whistle cavalry to spy and defend the enemy. However, most of them were scattered in the north, west, and the Qinling Mountains in the south. There would be no enemy troops. The Lueyang Army in the east was not the enemy, and the enemy would not come out from there.

After a day of travel, Zhao Yun led his team to Lueyang County. Under the "Zhao" flag, Zhao Yun took the lead with a spear, and Xiahou Lan was in the middle, watching around vigilantly.

Because Zhao Yun held their family, none of the surrendered soldiers escaped.

"Dadada." Suddenly, the smoke and dust in front were so powerful that it seemed like someone and horses came. Although Zhao Yun expected that it might be the supporter in Lueyang County, he still ordered elite soldiers to come in front and old and weak behind to fight.

Not long after, a fast horse galloped first, and the wide-faced knight reported to Zhao Yun: "Report to Sima Zhao. The person who came was Wang Jing and Cai Bu, a military officer under the command of Pang Duwei (Pang De), who was ordered to lead a thousand people to respond. There was also a military order to bring Zhao Sima, the chief of the Xi Shi (Xi Zhicai).

After saying that, the knight took out a rolled white cloth from his arms, turned over and got off the horse and came to Zhao Yun's horse, and bowed and handed it over.

Zhao Yun was a little alert, reached out to take the white cloth, then opened it and frowned.

"Brother, what military order is it?" Xiahou Lan rode a dark horse from the back team to the front team and asked a little curiously.

"Ma Teng led the Ma infantry and infantry army to attack Luyang. The chief of the opera was worried that Xiangping was in front of the city, and the guard Liu County Magistrate (Liu Pi) led 4,000 troops, and he was afraid that Ma Teng would not be able to stop Ma Teng's fierce attack. He ordered me to abandon the baggage, and the light army traveled day and night, and first entered the city to help."

Zhao Yun said.

"Brother, we are tired and exhausted." Xiahou Lan showed a little bit of disgrace on her face and looked back at the soldiers. They had already marched quickly before and had another big battle.

"The military situation is urgent, how can it be avoided?" Zhao Yun took the order and stuffed it into the burlap bag behind the horse. After Wang Jing and Cai Bu arrived in front, Zhao Yun handed over the surrendered troops with the two of them. After saying some more words, he led Xiahou Lan and the two or three thousand soldiers under his command, abandoned most of the baggage, took Cheng Yi's head, and the light army headed to Xiangping City.

Although Ma Teng had many men and horses, he also had many baggages. Although the army marched as fast as possible, it was not as good as Zhao Yun abandoning the baggage and moving forward with a light army.

Therefore, Zhao Yun was able to come to Xiangping City before Ma Teng arrived in Xiangping.

Unlike Linwei City, Linwei City is equivalent to building a new city that is taller, larger and more solid. Xiangping City pushed down the original old city wall, built a new solid and tall city wall on the original scope, and built Weng City.

Although the city is not as good as Linwei City, it is difficult to hide more soldiers and horses. It is also a hard city with only one man as a pass.

There were continuous flags hanging on the city, one big and one small. The big one was "Zhang" and the small one was "Liu". The south of the city. Liu Pixian got the news and opened the city gate and led two teams of soldiers to welcome Zhao Yun.

After seeing Zhao Yun's men, Liu Pi took a bowl of wine from the soldiers. When Zhao Yun rode on a horse, he handed the wine to Zhao Yun. A soldier next to him handed the wine to Xiahou Lan.

"Congratulations to General Zhao, who killed Chengyi and returned to make great contributions." Liu Pi first congratulated him, but then said happily: "But I'll be here to see Sima Zhao. Ma Teng came with 50,000 horse and infantry troops, and I only have 4,000 people, and I feel really uneasy."

"Thank you, County Magistrate Liu." Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan turned over and dismounted, took the glass of wine and drank it. After handing the empty glass to the soldiers next to him, Zhao Yun also sincerely said to Liu Pi: "Liu County Magistrate Liu. Our troops are coming and going, and the people are trapped and horses are exhausted. Ma Teng is here. He also asked Liu County Magistrate to lead a guard first and wait for our troops to accumulate strength and come and help."

"Of course." Liu Pi bowed his hands and said solemnly.

Zhao Yun was able to come to rescue him because he obeyed the order. But if he came too late, he would not be able to enter the city. Ma Teng's cavalry would not be easy, and he might block Zhao Yun outside the city.

Zhao Yun came so early, and he really did not avoid difficulties and was devoted to the public.

Although Liu Pi is not talented, he is also a loyal person. Of course, he has to take over for a few days first so that Zhao Yun can accumulate energy.

Although Zhao Yun is a tired army, he is also 20,000 soldiers and horses who are alive after raising them. This is definitely not the same as him guarding Xiangping by himself for four thousand soldiers and horses.

After the two of them spoke at the city gate, they entered the city together. Liu Pi had arranged everything, and after Zhao Yun entered the city, they immediately arranged meals and then cultivated.

Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan, at the invitation of Liu Pi, came to the lobby of the county magistrate's yamen to drink and eat meat.

Zhang Xiu has always treated his subordinates well and often rewarded him. Liu Pi's county magistrate's office was well repaired. Liu Pi also had a singer on weekdays. He would also enjoy it occasionally while practicing martial arts and listening to books.

But now the army is approaching, so forget it.

The three of them only sit in a character and drink wine and eat meat.

"Liu County Wei. I wonder how many days will Ma Teng's troops be from Xiangping?" Zhao Yun took a sip of wine, and did not rush to eat meat. He looked up and cared about military information.

"It's about two days away." Liu Pi also replied seriously.

"There are enough arrows in the city?" Zhao Yun nodded and asked again.

"Don't worry, Sima Zhao." Liu Pi smiled and said, "Before the general came, the chief of the Xi Shi sent people to transport grain and arrows to come here. I have also moved the nearby people into the city. If the situation is unfavorable, I can also recruit Jingzhuang to defend the city. At present, the city's food and fodder is enough to eat for three months, and I can barely eat for April. There are enough arrows."

Zhao Yun then smiled and nodded slightly.

............

In the evening, northwest, in the tent of Ma Teng's camp.

Ma Tenggao sat on the commander's throne, with civil and military personnel standing on both sides below. Yang Fu, the military leader, ranked third in the civil servant and was deeply trusted.

But Ma Teng's face looked very ugly.

"Master, please avenge my general." Ma Teng knelt in front of Cheng Yi's cavalry Zhang Ao. This man walked away in a hurry and came to join Ma Teng. Many of the cavalry under his command were scattered, and now he was like a stray dog, crying.

"Don't worry, General Zhang. General Cheng and I have been companions for many years, and we will definitely avenge him. Since the general is here, we will be a Sima of the Ministry here. Please take General Zhang down to rest first."

Although Ma Teng looked ugly, he still comforted him with generous words.

"Thank you, the general." Zhang Ao saw this and dissipated a little panic, bowed and bowed, and turned around and left.

"Chengyi, it's really better to succeed than to make trouble. Who is Zhao Yun? He is so brave? How come so many powerful generals are there under Zhang Xiu's command?" After Zhang Ao left, Ma Teng could no longer hold back and said in anger.

Although Chengyi has not many thousands of troops, it is also meat and can add momentum. Now it is better, it is like breaking an arm. It is estimated that Zhao Yun has already taken his troops to capture Yucheng, and Zhang Xiu's troops have increased a little more.

"Good general. Although it is a pity that he became a general, Zhao Yun had to guard against it. But now the arrow is on the string and he has to fire it. Ask the general to quickly surround and attack Xiangping City. And send a probe to the south. If Pang De and others send troops to rescue him, they will fight reinforcements and fight quickly."

As a newly favored strategist, Yang Fu naturally stood up and persuaded him.

Ma Teng's anger calmed down slightly, and nodded in a deep voice and said, "Everyone goes down to rest, and accumulate strength. March as soon as possible and fight to the city of Xiangping."

"No." The generals responded with a loud bang and left together.

"Oh." When Ma Teng was left in the big tent, he sighed and showed a look of worry.

They are all getting weaker and weaker as they fight, but why is Zhang Xiu stronger and stronger as they fight? Zhao Yun, a native of Changshan? Damn it.

"If Zhang Xiu doesn't get rid of it, I will definitely kill him in the future."

With a worried heart in his arms, Ma Teng summoned his personal soldiers to remove the armor for him, then went into the inner tent to rest, go to bed first, have a good dream first.

Although Cheng Yi was damaged, it would have a blow to Ma Teng. However, Ma Teng's 50,000 troops still existed, but it was not hindered. Ma Teng quickly advanced outside Xiangping City.

He issued a military order according to Yang Fu's suggestion.

He stationed 10,000 cavalrymen on the southern avenue and sent additional explorers to find out the movements of Qingshui, Linwei and Lueyang. If there were reinforcements, he would lead his troops to attack the reinforcements.

The remaining 40,000 horse and infantry army are divided into three divisions, setting up camps in the north, east and west of the city, with the classic circumference of three missing one.

If the defenders in the city cannot hold on and fight out of the south gate, they will inevitably be attacked by Ma Teng's 10,000 cavalrymen.

It was already noon after Ma Teng set up his camp. Although there was still one afternoon to attack the city, the soldiers were tired. Ma Teng asked the soldiers to rest for a day and night and attack the city again tomorrow.

However, Ma Teng himself couldn't sleep, so he led more than a hundred light cavalry out of the camp and watched the west of Xiangping City.

Ma Teng's face looked a little ugly. The city was dilapidated not long ago, but now it has been renovated, thicker, taller and stronger.

"If Zhang Xiu hadn't traveled around Liangzhou that day and had cut off my food route, Han Sui and I would have long since entered this city and killed Dong Zhuo. There would have been no such situation today."

Ma Teng thought to himself.

On the west gate of the city, in front of the city gate tower, under the banner of the characters "Zhang", "Zhao", "Liu", Zhao Yun, Liu Pi and Xiahou Lan stood on the city wall, holding the female wall to watch Ma Teng's camp and Ma Teng who came by light cavalry.

"Although Ma Teng was defeated repeatedly, it was not hurt. Ma Teng's counties and counties have a lot of people and horses have recovered quickly. As for the fierce battles in Liangzhou, the strength is recovering very quickly. Don't be underestimated." Zhao Yun looked up at Ma Teng's camp, and his solemn aura filled the sky with a powerful aura. He couldn't help but say to Liu Pi and Xiahou Lan next to him.

"That's right." Liu Pi and Xiahou Lan nodded in agreement.

This is too true, and it is not OK to agree.

Especially in recent days, Liu Pi has listened to many operas and read military books and understood many truths. Strategy can be underestimated by the enemy, but tactical attention must be paid to the enemy.

Ma Teng should not be underestimated.

After Zhao Yun said something, he turned his eyes to the more than a hundred light cavalry under the city. He dared to make a decision, and Ma Teng was there.

"If Ma Teng doesn't run, I will lead fifty light cavalry out and kill Ma Teng. At that time, the counties of Longyou can be pacified."

With Zhao Yun's steady personality, he couldn't help but have a moment of fantasy and was moved.

But soon Zhao Yun gave up this unrealistic idea, and Ma Teng couldn't not run away.
