Jiazhong.

The Wei army formed a stronghold inside, and the Shu army established a stronghold outside.

The two armies faced each other from the north to the south.

In the first few days, the two armies fought repeatedly.

But Xiahou Ba was also a veteran who had been on the battlefield for more than 20 years. He went to the front lines many times and fought bloody battles with soldiers.

The Wei army was put to death and everyone was united.

The Shu army is not incapable of destroying Xiahou Ba. The combat power of the Tiger Infantry is superior to that of the Wei army. It is just that the trapped beasts are still fighting. The Shu army has to think clearly about the cost.

And Jiang Wei's thoughts are not all here.

As Li Jian entered Zhongti and Hu Fen entered Lintao, the situation of the Shu army gradually became unfavorable.

The situation has become clear, and Xiahou Ba has become a poisonous bait.

He was an abandoned son thrown out by Guo Huai.

At that time, Jiang Wei was already forty-four years old. In the sixth year of Yanxi reign of the Shu Han Dynasty, he was promoted to the general of Zhenxi and became the governor of Liangzhou. He has always had a fire burning in his heart.

Continuing Zhuge Wuhou's legacy, he launched a northern expedition to the Central Plains and restored Han unification.

However, things in the world are so difficult, and the sun and the moon are hard at work.

The once Qilin'er is now no longer in his prime.

The country is declining day by day, and the ministers are content with the status quo and no longer have the ambition to make progress.

As for the Wei State, although Luo Gu suffered a disastrous defeat, its counterattack was to destroy Goguryeo and sweep across Liaodong.

Jiang Wei looked at the endless Wei army camps and felt worried.

"The scouts reported that Guo Huaiti and Deng Zhong's troops, four thousand people, rushed to Zhang County." The sound of the servant of the minister shooting Dong Jue sounded from behind.

The Han Dynasty named Zhangxian County after the western border barrier, which is located in the southeast of Hezhong.

Guo Huai's meaning is self-evident.

Use Xiahou Ba to consume the Tiger Infantry Army's combat power, and then reap the benefits.

Jiang Wei seemed not to have heard Dong Jue's words and kept looking ahead.

"The general defeated Guo Huai and Xiahou Ba. He has already made great achievements. When he returns to the court, he can also give an account to His Majesty, the Grand Sima, and the Grand General."

In fact, Grand Sima Jiang Wan and Grand General Fei Yi had always disagreed with Jiang Wei's dispatch of troops.

I think the time is not yet ripe.

"If I have 50,000 men under my command, I can capture Longxi this time. Cao Wei seems to be tyrannical, but in fact he is strong on the outside and weak on the inside. In the country, Cao Shuang and Sima Yi are fighting for power. Guanyou is sluggish, and the country's power is also declining. Although Guo Huai is a veteran general,

But you are very selfish and you are not my enemy!" Jiang Wei turned around, his eyes like two sharp swords.

Although the years are passing by, the ambition remains the same!

Such magnanimity made Dong Jue heartbroken.

What is most lacking in Shu is this spirit.

After the death of Marquis Wu, Dong Jue felt that among the people in Shu, Jiang Wei should be the first.

It's a pity that he is not the one who holds the authority.

Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, and Dong Yun were quite satisfactory. They were naturally the best in the world in governing the country, but they fell short in expanding their territory.

There are dangerous mountains and rivers in Shu, which can deter foreign enemies, but they can also trap ourselves to death.

A corner of the land, no matter how it is managed, will inevitably decline.

"Since the inner court of the Wei thieves is uneasy, why doesn't the general wait for a while, accumulate wealth, train soldiers, and wait for the enemy's provocation? There will be changes in the future. The general will sweep through the Guanyou with thunderous momentum, and he will be able to get twice the result with half the effort. A certain bluntly said, Qiang

People can only be followed, not relied upon."

"Gong Xi's words are a sincere and good plan, but people's hearts are greedy for peace. I don't know what happened to the Wei thieves. If I don't mention the troops to advance and inspire the soldiers, it will not take two or three years. People's hearts will be slack and the soldiers will have no fighting spirit!"

Jiang Wei looked at Dong Jue with a smile.

Dong Jue cupped his hands and said: "General, I am not as thoughtful as I am, but at present, our army is already at a disadvantage..."

Going deep into enemy territory with a force of eight thousand people is inherently risky.

"This person has always had different intentions, so there is no harm in waiting for two more days. Guo and Huai are outflanking us in three directions, and our forces are scattered. Whoever among the Longxi generals dares to come forward can try my sword first." Jiang Wei said with great enthusiasm.

"How magnificent!" Dong Jue had no doubt about Jiang Wei's heroic words.

The two talked some more about the affairs of the Wei state, and when they were enjoying themselves, a scout came from the south on horseback.

"Inform the two generals that the Qiang people have sent troops and are rushing to Jianzhong."

"How many people are there?"

"Two thousand cavalry are in front, and more than three thousand infantry are behind."

Dong Jue frowned, "Only these people?"

"Yes! I came back and sent out inspections three times."

Jiang Wei slightly nodded and said, "You did a good job. If you continue to investigate, don't miss every move."

"promise!"

After the scouts went down, Dong Jue became suspicious, "There seems to be something wrong with this group of Qiang soldiers."

Jiang Wei smiled and said nothing.

Dong Jue picked up a branch and drew a rough map of Longyou on the ground. "Wuhan is located at the junction of Hexi and Longxi Qiang lands. If the Qiang people capture this place, they can contact the barbarians in Liangzhou when they advance, and they can recruit the Hexi Qiang people when they retreat."

This is the best plan to expand the power of the army. If it doesn't work, we should attack the nearest Houhe and Lintao. Why would we abandon the close and seek the far north to enter Jianzhong? Could it be..."

"The Qiang people will not revolt."

Dong Jue angrily threw out the branch in his hand, "Mi Dang took our money, silk and arms, but betrayed his trust!"

Jiang Wei smiled and said: "I have thought carefully and divided the Wei army into three parts, which are false and true. All the generals in Longyou fell into my trap, and there are still some who understand my plan."

Dong Jue wondered: "Besides Guo Huai and Xiahou Ba, who else is there in Longyou? Could it be Deng Ai? But this man is good at farming, and I have never heard of him having any military strategy."

"Since he's here, we might as well meet this person for a while."

Jiang Wei shook the black cloak behind his back, as if a dark cloud was hovering around him.

Yang Zheng was very excited.

If there is anyone in this era that he admires, Jiang Wei is undoubtedly one of them.

It's a pity that we are in different camps, so we can only meet each other with swords.

When passing by Lintao, the defenders mistook them for Shu troops.

Fortunately, Hu Fen was stationed in Lintao, otherwise I would not have been able to tell clearly.

Hu Fen highly praised Yang Zheng's courage, but was not optimistic about this trip.

"Jiang Weizhi is a bit wise, Xingyun may not be able to hide this plan from him."

When he reminded him, Yang Zheng suddenly woke up.

It is unusual for the Qiang people to go north to Fizhong.

Hu Fen could see it, but could Jiang Wei not?

However, at this time, the arrow is already on the string and has to be fired. It is best to deceive him, but if he cannot be deceived, he can only force it.

Xiahou Ba was trapped for seven or eight days, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

After bidding farewell to Hu Fen, Yang Zheng continued down the Tao River.

With reminders, you will naturally be more vigilant.

They did not dare to double the route as before, but sent out scouts to camp step by step, waiting for Jiang Fane's infantry.

But the journey was calm and calm. Occasionally, there were a few Shu army scouts shadowy in the distance, but they did not dare to get close.

As we approached Jizhong, we saw layers of Shu army tents in front of us, and there was a hint of murderous aura among the mountains and rivers.

Yang Zheng's scalp suddenly felt numb.

The tragic defeat in Luogu also left a shadow in his heart.

They chose a high ground and before setting up camp, a group of cavalry flew out of the Shu army camp, like dark red flames rolling across the grassy valley.

There is a person clustered in the middle, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a resolute appearance, and a masculine look. He is wearing silver armor and carrying a spear. He rides his horse to the place where he can shoot. Behind him are hundreds of cavalrymen who look like one person.

"You Qiang people are so dishonest, why have you delayed so long?" The man stood in front of the formation and shouted loudly, majesticly.

This person should be Jiang Wei, the Kirin'er of Tianshui.

Yang Zheng is like a fan meeting his idol.

Listening to his words, it seems that you have fallen into a trap?

Yang Zheng's little heart was beating fast.
