Zhang Lu's heartache did not last long. Guan Ping taught him what it means to have short pain than long pain.

He even promised on the spot that if things change in Liangzhou, soldiers will be sent to respond.

On the second day, Guan Ping gathered more than 10,000 Yang Ang's troops, set out from Seoul, and re-exited Yangping Pass, and rode the Western Han River into Wudu County.

After leaving Yangping Pass, walk north from Wudu County, pass by the old road, Sanguan, Chencang, and enter Longdong. This is a road to the northern expedition of the Central Plains from Hanzhong.

But now, the old Taoist Chen Cang and Longdong line has changed hands and has become the territory of Boss Cao.

You can also take the Baoxi Road from Ji County and reach Nanzheng, but this road is quite difficult to walk.

The valley is nearly five hundred miles long and the road is steep and rocky. This plank road was burned by Han Xin at the beginning.

The other way to pass Ziwu Valley is to pass Nanzheng County, go east, and enter the boundary of Jingzhou to reach south of Chang'an.

Baoxie Road and Ziwu Road are two roads to enter Guanzhong from the Qinling Mountains.

Guan Ping chose the road to the Northern Expedition of Prime Minister Zhuge later, that is, transporting troops and horses from the Western Han River.

I passed by Xiabian County without stopping. After more than 500 miles, I arrived at Qishan in Longyou and entered Tianshui County.

Then more than 20,000 people (soldiers who transported grain) approached the Wei River along the wooden gateway, headed towards Jicheng, and met with Ma Chao.

After seeing it with his own eyes, Guan Ping found that it was really not unfair to have Zhang He died here.

In this area, two mountains are pressing, a river valley about 50 meters wide in the middle, and then there is a canyon, from which the water in the river leaks into the Western Han River.

The winding paths on the shore go from north to south, with a dangerous terrain forming a natural doorway.

Guan Ping also heard Ma Dai tell science that there is a wooden fence that is more than twenty miles long.

It was Duan Ying, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, who attacked Qiang and Di in the west, in order to prevent Qiang and Di from attacking.

A wooden fence of more than 20 miles long was built here with large wood, so it is called wooden doorways.

This land is a natural ambush site, and it doesn't matter whether Zhang He was deliberately given away by Sima Yi.

The feeling that Guan Ping gave him along the way was that the mountain was so fucking high!

Apart from water transportation, mountain roads are really hard to move!

It’s so fucking hard to transport food and grass!

There is nothing else except this feeling.

Fortunately, the food I eat is getting less and less, which saves the trouble of transporting grain soldiers and can also help transport weapons and arrows.

In the wheat-producing area in Longyou, only by completely taking over Longyou can we prevent Shu and Hanzhong from the threat of difficulty in transporting grain.

Then Longyou can also overlook Guanzhong, go downstream and attack Chang'an.

Guan Ping and Yang Ang and others turned around and went west along the Wei River to reach Jicheng. If they crossed the Wei River, they would continue northward to reach Jieting.

Seeing that Guan Ping always looked up at the sky along the way, Ma Dai knew that he was thinking about the difficult road.

Then he encouraged, "Governor Guan, don't worry, there are tens of thousands of residents in Tianshui County, and the family is rich.

Jicheng is a top-notch and rich place, and is an important position for attacking Guanzhong, which is enough to support the army for several years."

Guan Ping did not answer this and said, "General Dehua, what are his plans after he occupied Jicheng?"

Ma Dai thought about it and said bluntly: "We must focus on Jicheng, conquer the counties and counties in Longshang, and then send troops to attack Guanzhong and return to Huaili."

Huaili County is very close to Chang'an City, and you can invade Hongnong County and fight in Luoyang City.

"Do you know Jieting?"

"I know it."

"General Ma Mengqi, if he wants to occupy all Longyou, he should cut off the closing passage, maintain his advantage, and close the door and fight the dog.

Within a few months, the enemy will have no reinforcements and will occupy the entire Longyou."

Guan Ping paused and waved his whip and said:

"So the breaking of Long has become the key to seizing Longyou. Our key point is to guard the main throat road from Guan to Long."

"So what General Guan meant was that he wanted to stay at Jieting?" Ma Dai had no idea.

The main reason is that Jicheng has not been successfully taken down yet, and the eldest brother has been besieged for a while.

Whether it is the attacking side outside the city or the defending side who defends the city, they all want to see a result.

When Guan Ping heard Ma Dai’s question, he suddenly realized that Ma Su led thousands of troops to guard Jieting?

Just relying on these three thousand people is probably not enough.

Moreover, the soldiers he led wanted to fight guerrillas, or even make friends with the Qiang, Di, Hu people and leaders in Longyou.

Without waiting for Guan Ping to answer, Ma Tie said bluntly: "I will lead my troops to go by then."

"I'm just thinking, since I have led my troops to attack Jicheng for a while, why has Xiahou Yuan sent troops to help the defenders of Jicheng?"

"Xiahou Yuan should be busy strangling Liu Xiong's troops who surrendered and rebelled, and Liang Xing.

Liang Xing has been in Lantian, Fu, Xiayang and other places, and in the area of ​​Kouluozuo Fengyi, which has caused a headache for Xiahou Yuan.

He bought time for my elder brother, but Xiahou Yuan didn't make any effort for a while."

Guan Ping nodded. Is Liang Xing making meritorious service?

Lantian County is less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an City, and it is a close location and must be removed.

Xiahou Yuan should first eliminate the threats near him, and then free up his hands to attack Ma Chao and rescue Jicheng.

Especially now there is no need to go to guard Jieting now, Xiahou Yuan will not come.

It is better to resolve the crisis in Longyou first.

"Then we will seize Jicheng and pacify Longyou before General Liang Xing's death."

When Ma Dai heard this, he was immediately anxious: "Why did General Guan say this?"

Liang Xing has always been his loyal younger brother, Ma Chao, and the most determined follower.

When Ma Dai heard Guan Ping say that Liang Xing would die and his own interests were concerned, he had to worry.

"General Ma Dehua, Liang Xing brought his troops to trouble the neighborhood of Chang'an. You are Xiahou Yuan. Will you allow his existence?"

"I won't." Ma Dai stood up and walked two steps: "Then we should speed up our entry into the city and rush to Jicheng."

After saying that, he walked to the side and began to write letters to his elder brother Ma Chao.

Guan Ping lay on the grass. Liangzhou was in chaos for a long time. This place is really not a good battlefield!

This time, we must take advantage of the situation to raise the names of the three brothers to let them know that Liu Bei was a great Han emperor who supported the Han Dynasty.

Apart from the demonstrations by force, we must not relax the publicity.

It is only a hundred miles away from Ji County. It can be seen that the closer we are, the more anxious Ma Dai is.

Two days later, the army was about to approach Ji County.

Ma Chao led his army to welcome him. Yang Ang, the big nose, led more than 10,000 troops and served as the main general, and greeted Ma Chao.

Guan Ping listened carefully from the side and said hello with a smile.

Guan Ping looked at Ma Chao's appearance and was worthy of being the beautiful name of Ma Chao, and he was a handsome guy.

As Ma Chao, who had been baptized by family education early on, was not vague when receiving reinforcements, and directly slaughtered sheep and served barbecue to drink wine.

"Brother." Ma Tie shouted excitedly.

"Third brother."

Ma Chao responded with a laugh, pulling the reins of his third brother and walking into the camp together.

Yang Ang ordered a camp.

Guan Ping took the opportunity to walk around Jicheng with his men. In addition to the moat, Jicheng is also close to the Wei River.

"General Guan is concerned about this matter."

Yang Ang was very cautious thanks to the advice of his elder brother Yang Song, and Guan Ping would not interfere in his military affairs along the way.

Moreover, after getting along all the way, Yang Ang felt that Guan Ping was not a pedantic person, so he also had a good impression of Guan Ping.

Guan Ping is not afraid of the fact that he is good-favored.

Unless someone hates him from the beginning, he cannot change this situation and does not want to change it.

Guan Ping pulled the reins and held the monocular lens and said:

"Brother Yang, you and I have experienced many difficult roads before we arrived in Jicheng. I don't want to return without success."

Yang Ang had long seen the clairvoyance in Guan Ping's hands.

Apart from the initial surprise, I got used to it as I watched it.

Unfortunately, this one is the only one, and Yang Ang can't even imitate it.

You can't smash this thing, imitate it?

It can be said that this is a priceless treasure.
