Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1232 Who said who was surrendered, that's not necessarily the case!
The Northwest War broke out quickly.

Those who participated in the battle were the Mu army, the Xiqiang tribe, and the main force of Xiliang who had already stepped in.

The Xiqiang tribe is currently in a state of disunity, so they have been beaten all the time. Facing the main force of the herding army, they even have a weak mind to resist. Most of the tribes retreated to Jishi Mountain.

But the main force of the herding army pushed forward vigorously. After defeating Baima Qiang, they immediately came out of Qiang Dao City and entered the territory of Baima Qiang, stationed on Baima Mountain, the former holy mountain of Baima Qiang.

The place that can be regarded as the old nest by the Baima Qiang is naturally a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is rich in resources. Not only is there sufficient water resources here, but also the vast grassland is a good place to herd horses.

And retreating from the mountain walls on the left and right sides, one man can be the gate and the other can't open it.

However, the White Horse Qiang has begun to decline since the defeat of the Yuehu. The new leader led Baima Erlang, together with the tribe, back to the Jishi Mountains, the holy place of the Qiang people, less than half a month after the battle with the Shepherd Army.

Naturally, it was occupied by the Shepherd Army and became the central headquarters of the Shepherd Army.

Zhang Liao camped here.

But Pioneer Shenlang Camp has already pushed up and entered the territory of Jishi Mountain.

Keep in touch, there will be fast horses every day, and the news of the pioneer camp will be reported back to Baima Mountain.

"What do you think of Min Wu's idea?" After Zhang Liao received the news today, he summoned all the generals to discuss the military situation.

"Min Wu wants to participate in the selection of Qiang King, I think it is possible!"

Chen Gong spoke first.

The Qiang tribe is also aware of a problem at present, that is, the internal instability of the Qiang people, so they cannot resist the attack of the Han people, so at this juncture, they want to choose a leader.

Although Min Wu took refuge in Mu Jun.

But he is still a Qiang, and it is only natural for him to participate in the selection. Even if many people doubt his position, they cannot change his bloodline.

Many people in this world are accepted by their bloodlines, and their bloodlines remain unchanged. From the bottom of their hearts, they will not resist this person from the ranks of their own people.

That's why Min Wu came up with such an idea.

"As long as Min Wu can successfully become the Qiang King, this battle will be easy for us!" Chen Gong continued: "It is not impossible to take advantage of the trend to eat the main force of Xiliang and enter Liangzhou!"

"I think it's too dangerous!"

Lei Hu pondered for a while. After countless battles, this young man who only knew how to run wild in the past has now transformed into a fairly mature general. He said in a low voice: "We are now fighting with the Qiang tribe, and Min Wu is our leader. Pioneer, the Qiang people naturally regard him as an enemy, if he dares to enter the royal court of Jishi Mountain, he will be directly crushed to ashes!"

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can't get a tiger's son!"

As the captain of the Wuxi Camp, Shamoke's Chinese culture is already good, and he has learned more seriously recently. He speaks Chinese not only fluently, but also has a slight literary talent: "I think it's worth a try, the Qiang people Not stupid, Min Wu is a Qiang, and they cannot change this fact. If they want to choose a leader, they must first convince the public. Min Wu participated in the selection of the Qiang King in the name of the leader of the Wolf Division, and no one can say anything. If they want to kill Min Wu, they need a reason first, I am not Han, I know that the so-called aliens are not all unruly, but we have our rules, just like our Wuxi barbarians, Wuxi tribe In the same vein, if someone wants to challenge my position and become the leader of the Wuximan, even if that person has defected to other people, or even other clansmen, unless we can convince everyone that he betrayed the Wuximan, otherwise I can't get rid of him with just a few words, or else I, the barbarian king, will be the end!"

What he said did arouse Zhang Liao's approval.

Zhang Liao grew up in Bingzhou and dealt with the alien races in the grassland. Although those alien races were called barbarians, each ethnic group had its own set of rules.

"I agree with Captain Shamoko's words!"

Zhang Liao said: "Opportunities are rare, and we are at a disadvantage in the fight. Although it is not difficult for us to break through Jishi Mountain, after all, the distribution map of Jishi Mountain is already on our desk. It is not difficult at all to take it in and use it in one pot. But The difficult thing is after we are defeated, how can we prevent these unruly people from causing trouble for us? Don't forget, in this northwest, the Qiang tribe is only one side. Our enemies also have Xiliang and Ma Teng's Longxi Army , Zhang Xiu's northern army is a strong enemy, and it can save some losses, which is very good news for our main force!"

Zhang Liao didn't expect the depth of Jingwu Division's layout in Jishi Mountain.

I thought this battle would be difficult.

After coming to the northwest battlefield, I feel that this battle is not so easy. After all, knowing yourself and the enemy is invincible. You already know all the enemy's deployments, which is enough to make yourself the biggest winner.

Of course, winning also depends on how you win.

A miserable victory is also a victory.

Minimum casualties in exchange for maximum victory is the principle of a general on the battlefield. For this reason, he can take risks.

Hearing the words, all the generals thought about it for a while, but they couldn't find any reason to object. They looked at each other, and finally they were speechless, which meant that they acquiesced to Zhang Liao's words.

"Come on!"

Zhang Liao thought for a while, swiped his pen and ink, wrote a military letter, sealed it with wax paint, and handed it to a messenger: "Give it to Captain Min Wu personally, and tell him to be careful. If things change, life is the first priority." !"

"promise!"

The messengers, three men and nine horses, rushed for eight hundred miles, racing against the clock, and headed for the front line.

"I'm actually not worried about Jishishan now. Half of the meat of Jishishan has fallen into our bowls, but I'm worried about the Xiliang army!"

Looking to the north, Zhang Liao said, "Whether Pang Ziying can stop it, none of us can say, we must prepare for the worst?"

"What's the plan?"

Lei Hu asked.

"Pang Ziying's plan to turn against the water!" Zhang Liao said frankly.

"General Zhang Liao, if you don't believe in Pound, why did you put Pound in the north? I can coordinate defense with him. As long as he is on the front line and confronts the Qiang people, how can he not oppose us?"

Lei Hu didn't quite understand.

"Lieutenant Lei, do you know which knife is the most dangerous?" Zhang Liao asked.

"What knife?"

"The knife that has been hidden behind you and has never been revealed, if he doesn't pull it out for a day, you don't know for a day, which direction his knife edge will face!"

Zhang Liao said calmly: "Pang Lingming, although he was born in Xiliang, is good at reading military books, strong in martial arts, and versatile in both civil and military affairs. Well, if he aimed at the enemy, he would scare the enemy, but if he aimed at us, we would be the ones who would be in danger. Therefore, I must know that he, Pang Lingming, the knife-wielder, had no thought at all. Can't let it go!"

"Are you just testing him?" Lei Hu's eyes were gloomy: "My lord once said that people's hearts cannot be used to test. If he really turns against him, what should you do?"

"My lord also said that the position is the most dangerous!" Zhang Liao retorted and said, "It's okay to rebel. This time he can rebel, and he can rebel in the future. This is just a partial battle. Our army mobilized There are not many soldiers, and it’s okay to lose. Even if our entire army is wiped out, there will be another battle, but once we start the Central Plains campaign, he will be behind us. At that time, we believe it or not Woolen cloth?"

"You people just have a lot of thoughts!"

Lei Hu gritted his teeth and stopped talking to Zhang Liao.

"What should we do if the worst plan comes true?" Shamoko asked.

"Withdraw from the Northwest battlefield and take the main force of the army back to Qiangdao City as a strategic goal!" Zhang Liao said decisively: "I would rather give up this battle than take risks!"

"What does the general mean, guard against them?"

"No!"

Zhang Liao shook his head: "I am the chief general, and I represent the Minghou Mansion. No matter what my thoughts are, the first thing I need to do is not to show my lord's distrust of Pound. This feeling, so just stare, send the most elite scouts, stare at their camps on the line, do nothing else, it is superfluous, but you can build some redundant lines of defense, which are inconspicuous, but can be at the key Time, let us take a breath of defense!"

"Understood!"

Both Lei Hu and Sha Moke are great generals on the battlefield, so they naturally understand Zhang Liao's meaning. They should be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, so they can't be seen to guard him, but they must be guarded against him secretly.

"Pang Lingming, don't let me down!" Zhang Liao put this battle on Pound's body. Pound is loyal, so the victory in this battle is already in his hands. If Pound turns back, he will naturally not be able to fight. up.

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

…………

The eight thousand main force of the Pangzi Battalion was divided into three groups, one at the upper reaches of the Minshui River, the dividing line in the southwest corner of Jincheng County, and the other at the border of the Shaodang Qiang tribe, a large tribe of Qiang people.

The five thousand main force of the main camp is stationed at the northern foot of Minshan Mountain, overlooking Longxi, but the distance is only 150 miles.

If the Longxi Army wants to go south to Jishi Mountain.

This is the way to go.

So this is also an inevitable battlefield.

The familiar Liangzhou breath rushed towards him, and Pound on the mountainside couldn't help taking a deep breath. He hadn't left Liangzhou for a long time, but he missed it very much.

"Captain, Sima, please respond quickly!"

An orderly was under the rock, calling out.

"understood!"

Pound sighed, got on his horse, left the commanding heights with more than a dozen guards, and headed towards the continuous barracks down the mountain.

drive drive drive! ! !
Pound's riding skills are naturally top-notch in the world. He straddled a horse, jumped a stone, passed the gate, and returned to his main camp without the effort of a cup of tea.

"Cheng Gongying, is there an order from the headquarters, or did our scouts find something ahead?"

Pound lifted the curtain and rushed in.

"neither!"

In the camp, a middle-aged man raised his head slightly and said calmly, "There is an invitation letter!"

He is the deputy general of Pang Ziying, Cheng Gongying.

The surname is Cheng Gong.

He used to be Han Sui's counselor, but later Han Sui's troops were defeated by the Mu army, and most of the soldiers were surrendered by the Mu army, and the elites were selected to form the Pangzi Battalion today.

The Pangzi Battalion was very large at the beginning, but later it was selected, with [-] elites, which is considered to be the largest battalion among the independent combat battalions.

It was later that Cheng Gongying became Sima. He first surrendered and was a prisoner for several months. Later, he played some useful roles in the battle of Jingzhou. Later, he was promoted by Zhang Liao and favored by Mujing. Became the Sima of Pangziying.

"invite?"

Pound walked in, his eyes flickering: "Whose?"

"Ma Meng Qi!"

Cheng Gongying said softly.

"I also expected it!" Pound: "His main force of more than 1 soldiers has already left the bridge, and is less than [-] miles away from us. He can rush over at any time, but there has been no movement. I just thought of it , he shouldn't want to confront me head-on!"

"If he goes south, he won't be able to avoid us!"

"So he wants to talk!" Pang De said: "Of course, it's better to say that I will be surrendered, and let me take a counterattack. The Mu army will definitely be defeated in the Jishishan battlefield. Disaster!"

"Do you want to see him then?"

"See!"

Pound flashed the sharp light with a pair of cold lights, and responded in a deep voice.

"Ling Ming, if you go to see Ma Chao at this time, you may not be able to explain why you are right!" Cheng Gongying looked at Pang De. He didn't like Pang De very much in the past. Han Sui also fought in Xiliang for a long time, but he had to admit that Pang De was indebted to him for being able to jump out of the prison camp and become a member of the Shepherd Army, and both he and Pang De were Xiliang People, in order for Pangziying to exert its combat effectiveness, Cheng Gongying was promoted to the position of battalion Sima. If they want to get mixed up in the Mujun system, they must not only show loyalty, but also develop together as a group, otherwise they will be alone. Power is too weak.

Pound is capable of fighting, brave and resourceful, and Cheng Gongying is not weak in strategy and tactics. Given time, it is not impossible to develop an army.

If something goes wrong with Pound, it will be difficult for him to get along in the Mujun system.

"Cheng Gongying, haven't you ever thought that I would be told to surrender?" Pang De grinned, looking at Cheng Gongying, he paid attention, a little bit off.

"Knowing a person is not necessarily his best friend, but it must be his enemy. I have been enemies with you. When my lord was in Xiliang, he fought openly and secretly with Ma Teng. How can we not try to figure out the generals under Ma Teng's command! "

Cheng Gongying said softly: "You are not a half-hearted person. No matter what the reason is for you and me to surrender to the Minghou Mansion, since we have chosen, we will not regret it!"

"Ma Teng is not dead yet, so it's hard to say whether I will turn against the water. After all, I have replaced all the debts owed to the Ma family, but Han Sui will die in battle because of Mu Jun. Have you never thought about avenging Han Sui?" Pound's mood is actually a bit complicated: "Actually, this should be your best chance, and also your only chance. In the future, there will be no such chance!"

"I thought about it once or twice, but then I was crushed by the reality. The facts told me that I was not too loyal to the former Lord. In the troubled times, I just found a way to survive!"

Cheng Gongying responded indifferently: "You are right, there is indeed only one chance to leave the Mu family, and it was given by General Zhang Liao, but I want to live here!"

"Me too!"

Pound said indifferently.

"But Lixia Guatian, if you go to see Ma Chao, it will be difficult for you to explain clearly if something happens!"

"No!" Pang De shook his head: "Say whatever you want, my lord never needs me to explain clearly, it just depends on how I do it!"

"I'm afraid you will waver, after all, you grew up in Mashi!"

"Neither!"

The corner of Pang De's mouth cracked, and he smiled coldly: "I know Ma Chao, and Ma Chao also knows me, we are too familiar with each other, that's why he met once, you think he wants to surrender me, then you are wrong, he just gave I'm just saying it's a chance to drop him!"

If you really say surrender.

Whoever said who surrendered, that's not necessarily the case.

He couldn't figure out who the shadows were behind the Longxi army going south, but those were the only ones who came and went.

Xiliang no longer has the ability to be the master of the family, and it is inevitable to take refuge in one side, but in the world, the princes, he yearns for the Minghou Mansion even more.

It was after he surrendered and entered the Mujun system that he felt it.
