Chapter 486 The decisive battle in Liangzhou (5) Please give me monthly votes and recommendation votes!

Baishi was newly built during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Since the Anti-Japanese War in the late Han Dynasty, the population of Longxi County has dropped sharply. The three counties of Heguan, Baishi, and Paohan have a combined total of only 5,628 households and more than 29,000 people. The decline has been beyond recognition. However, Heguan is, after all, a

The gateway between Jincheng and Longxi County. Even in such decline, Wei Duan did not give up the garrison of Heguan, and Wang Meng took over.

In September of the ninth year of Jian'an, Ma Teng raided Heguan County.

Unprepared, Wang Meng was defeated and retreated to Baishi County to garrison.

This Baishi County is not so much a county town. It is not even as dilapidated as Hongshuiji in Hexi. The population of the city is only six to seven thousand people. When they heard that the defeated army had arrived, it was suddenly reduced by more than half, and it was not even enough to make up the three thousand people.

Fortunately, the city wall in Baishi County is still complete and there is nothing missing.

Wang Meng climbed up to the city gate tower, holding on to the crenels and looking into the distance. He saw Xiliang soldiers coming in a steady stream, and instantly surrounded Baishi County on three levels inside and three levels outside, with water blocking the way. Turning around, he looked towards the city.

There were only more than 2,000 people... Wang Meng gritted his teeth and stared at the approaching Xiliang soldiers. After taking a deep breath, he shouted sternly: "My sons, prepare for war!"

Cao's army was exhausted after running all night.

But after hearing Wang Meng's cry, he gritted his teeth and climbed up the tower.

"Captain, Captain!"

A young man ran forward in a hurry, with a look of surprise on his face, "When I took inventory of the treasury just now, I found that there were three trebuchets and countless arrows in the arsenal."

"oh?"

When Wang Meng heard this, he was also extremely surprised.

He originally thought that nothing would be kept in the treasury of Baishi County, but he did not expect to find so many ordnance.

"My sons, let's hold on.

I have ordered people to go to Lintao and Didao to ask for reinforcements. The reinforcements will arrive in less than three days. We will eat the national salary and serve the country today. As long as we can survive three days, it will be a great achievement. I will report to the court at that time.

Please take credit, everyone.”

"Captain, don't worry, there will be no problem for three days!"

Wang Meng's prestige in the army was not weak, so although the morale of the soldiers was low, they responded to every call.

Seeing this, Wang Meng couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: I don't know if Shi Guangyuan has received the news...

At the same time, he felt something was not normal. Logically speaking, Ma Teng had been keeping an eye on Didao before. Why did he suddenly turn around and attack Heguan? Didao, on the other hand, showed no reaction at all, which was really strange...

He has been in Longxi for almost two years!

Overall, I am quite familiar with the situation here.

To send troops from Didao to Baishi, they only need to cross the Taoshui River and arrive immediately in less than two days. Wei Duan is not a confused person. Maybe he has got the news by now. He only hopes that he can hold out for three days and wait for the reinforcements to arrive.

Can escape.

Outside the city, a long trumpet sound came.

Wang Meng quickly led his people back to the top of the city and raised his eyes to take a look.

I saw a general who was over fifty years old, riding his horse to the gate of the city. "I am a former general, Marquis of Huaili, Ma Teng. Is Wang Duwei here?"

Is he Ma Teng?

Wang Meng has never met Ma Teng, nor has he dealt with Ma Teng.

When I saw it now, I felt that Ma Teng looked majestic and somewhat majestic.

Wang Meng said loudly: "Mahuaili, you are an official of the imperial court, and you have been favored by the emperor. Why are you violating our borders?"

"Because Ma is an official of the imperial court, he cannot just sit back and watch the court being accused by traitors. I know that Wang Duwei is a sensible person. Although you and I have not interacted with each other, we have also heard of the name of the captain. Therefore, Ma Mou advised the captain to

In one sentence, it is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes. Now that the traitor is in power, the captain has also received the emperor's favor. Why not join Ma in a righteous deed to defeat the traitor?"

The traitor Ma Teng calls is, of course, Cao Cao.

He also knew that Wang Meng had a close relationship with the Cao family. However, considering the location of Lintao County, he decided to persuade Wang Meng to surrender. If Wang Meng was willing to surrender, then he could capture Lintao without any blood and complete his plan.

Wang Meng couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Ma Huaili, do you want Wang to make the second Korean appointment?"

Don't talk so grandly. If you were really for the imperial court, you wouldn't be so sneaky as to kill your own ally Han Sui.

Wang Meng is not the hunter who just walked out of Zhongyang Mountain back then.

After several years of experience in the court, he was quite rude when he spoke.

When Ma Teng heard this, he was immediately furious... The murder of Han Sui could be regarded as his failure. He originally wanted to swallow up Jincheng and increase his strength, but unexpectedly he lost his hometown Wuwei County, so that his current situation is quite...

For embarrassment.

"The prince is loyal and upright, and I will not make things difficult for you.

If the captain refuses to surrender, as long as you surrender Lintao, Ma will let you go. What do you think?"

"Ma Huaili, do you think that everyone is unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust? Wang was ordered to serve as the southern captain, how can he let you capture Lintao? Ma Huaili, I have a word of advice. I miss you.

As a famous general, don't make another mistake again and again, and in the end it will ruin the reputation of your ancestors. If you want to take Lintao, just let your horse come..."

When it comes to this level, the talks are basically broken down.

Ma Teng became angry and yelled: "Wang Meng, you are about to die. Today, Ma, I have fulfilled your duty of loyalty and filial piety."

After saying that, he turned his horse and left.

When Ma Teng returned to the formation, the rumble of drums immediately sounded in the Xiliang soldiers' formation.

Wang Meng frowned, looking at the densely packed Xiliang soldiers under the city, he couldn't help but murmur to himself...

However, now that things have happened, it is impossible for him to look back.

Anyone can surrender, but he cannot surrender.

Because, behind him is not only him, but also Wang Mai and Cao Ji's family, all of whom are closely related to him.

"My sons, prepare to meet the enemy!"

Seeing the Xiliang soldiers swarming outside the city, Wang Meng gritted his teeth and immediately shouted an order.

No matter what, you have to endure it for three days!

Longxi, Didao.

In the governor's mansion, Wei Duan walked out of the bedroom in high spirits after taking a habitual nap.

"My Lord, Lintao Commander Shi Tao has been waiting outside the door for a long time. Yan Ma Teng made a sneak attack on Heguan, and Wang Duwei was trapped in Baishi. He begged the Lord to send troops to help. He has been waiting since noon until now... Lord, do you want to see him?

Woolen cloth?"

Li Jun was engaged in Liangzhou and came forward to report.

A grim look appeared on Wei Duan's pale face.

"I have sent orders to Yishan to mobilize troops and horses, and I believe there will be results soon.

Today Didao is also facing a threat from Xiliang's army. How can I allocate troops? Captain Wang is extremely talented and will definitely be fine, so let him hold on a little longer. As soon as Yang Yishan's troops and horses are ready, he will immediately send troops to rescue. As for that

Lintao ordered him to go back... Unless I don't want to send troops to rescue him, there is nothing I can do. Zhang Lu has captured Ju County, and Wudu County is in danger; the two Qiang people in Huangzhong are rioting, and they need to send troops and horses to quell them. I really don't have anything in my hands.

Soldier."

Li Jun opened his mouth, intending to say a few more words of persuasion.

But seeing the stern look on Wei Duan's face, he swallowed the words when they came to his lips.

"Then I will ask Shi Guangyuan to return to Lintao first."

He said goodbye to Wei Duan, but did not see the coldness on Wei Duan's face. From the corner of the corridor, a middle-aged man walked out. He came to Wei Duan's side and stood with his hands down, until Li Jun's back

Disappear……

"Father, do you really not want to save that Wang Meng?"

A middle-aged man named Wei Kang is Wei Duan's eldest son.

This Wei Duan is from the Wei clan in Jingzhao. He is now the governor of Liangzhou and holds the position of imperial servant.

He sneered, "Why save? Ma Teng just took advantage of Longyou, and I followed his wishes. General Yuan, at this moment, must not have the slightest intention to be soft. Ma Teng went to Wuwei and agreed to give up Jincheng

.As long as we control Jincheng County, including Hanyang, Longxi, and Dunhuang Maai, it will be enough to protect our interests in Liangzhou.

That guy Wang Meng was very rude because he was sent by the imperial court.

Since he became the Southern Captain, he has ruined many of our good deeds. How can I let him go so easily...

Wait for three days, and then send troops to rescue after three days. If Wang Meng is really capable, he can naturally survive three days. If he is not capable, you can't blame me. On the other hand, Huangzhong has gone too far... You two days

If you have time, go to the Bailongjiang River and let the Baima Qiang and Shenlang Qiang take over as soon as they are ready. The Qiang Dao has nothing to do with them other than that."

"Then Wudu County..."
