Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1276

Northwest, Liangzhou.

Longxi.

It was late autumn, and the first two days were still sunny, but the sky changed quickly. The weather suddenly became cold, and there was a sudden light snowfall.

On Didao, on the empty plain, snow was shrouded, camps were in pieces, and army camps stood erect.

When the Mu army and the Longxi army joined forces, Chen Gongpangde led the army to join the alliance, and the army gathered, the battle for Xiliang had come to an end.

Ma Teng is invincible and has led his army to withdraw from Hanyang.

Zhang Xiu also led his army out of Longxi and headed north into Beidi.

This land of Xiliang turned into a sea of ​​swords and flames in an instant. Facing the strength of the Mu army, they did not dare to stay.

The only thing left for Mu Jun is to clean up the mess.

In the main tent of the camp, Zhang Liao stood upright in front of the huge sand table, surrounded by a group of generals who were also staring at the topographic map, chatting in twos and threes in low voices.

Even though the general situation in Liangzhou is over now, it is not easy to take over Liangzhou. Liangzhou is not small, and the territories of all counties are located here, and there are not a few troops needed.

And Liangzhou is not without enemies.

Even the Qiang tribe in the south surrendered.

To the north is the Huns.

These years of civil strife in the Central Plains gave the Xiongnu a chance to rise. The strength of the Southern Xiongnu rose steadily, and the Hun cavalry after growing stronger ravaged the land of Hetao for many years.

Naturally, Liang Bing Liangzhou cannot be avoided.

Once Liangzhou is taken over, the Mujun will inevitably contact the Xiongnu. No one can tell whether it will be war or peace.

"General, I just got the news that Zhang Xiu's Northern Army has passed the Northern Army and is marching towards Bingzhou Xihe!"

"Is there any movement in the Youzhou army in Hedong?" Zhang Liao asked the general next to him when he heard the words.

"For the time being, the Youzhou soldiers and horses from Hedong have not appeared!"

"Then leave him alone!"

Zhang Liao said with a sneer: "Zhang Boluan is a lost dog. He dare not stay in Liangzhou because he is afraid that we will chase after us. At this time, even if he is unwilling, he has no ability to return the carbine!"

"It's Yan Xing, you should be careful!"

Zhang Liao squinted his eyes, his eyes were cold and stern: "Although there are not many soldiers here, because of our neglect, our Liangzhou strategy almost fell by the wayside!"

As soon as he said this, the general Pang De and Chen Gong beside him blushed.

Pound almost died in that battle.

Chen Gong also reacted too slowly, and the rescue was not timely, which made the siege strategy of the entire Hanyang fail.

It's all because of Yan Xing.

Yan Xing was defeated in the past, like a bereaved dog, no one took him in, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but he didn't expect that this time he dealt a severe blow to Mu Jun.

Pang Ziying was also almost disabled, and the battle damage exceeded three thousand sons.

This made Pound speechless due to liver pain.

"This dog has left Hanyang and entered Hanoi along the river east. If he dares to stay longer, he will use his head to wash away my shame. Cough..."

Pound's injury was serious, and while he was speaking, he was implicated in the inner court, and couldn't help coughing loudly.

"Lieutenant Pang, don't get angry!"

Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "On the battlefield, victory or defeat is a common matter for soldiers. You can get back to the field in the future. Now that your injury is not stable, you should take a good rest, or you will leave the root cause of the disease in the future, it will be bad. My lord treats you , but I have high hopes!"

"Yes!"

Pound took a deep breath and calmed down.

If this battle is defeated, he still doesn't know what the Minghou Mansion will do, but he is not at ease in his heart. After all, defeat, defeat will be dealt with.

He was born as a general, but his sense of belonging to the Minghou Mansion grew day by day, and the more he had a sense of belonging, the more nervous he was about how the superiors thought of him.

"Don't worry, it's not a crime of war. It's human nature for us to lose because of intentional calculations. It's a great achievement to keep Xiliang without compromising the overall situation!" Zhang Liao saw his nervousness and changed his mind. comforted him a few words.

Ma Chao can be regarded as a member of the Mu Army now, so he is naturally in the camp. His eyes swept over lightly, and he said to Pang De lukewarmly: "It's not the first time that I lost to Yan Xing. I can laugh so hard. In the end, we are the winners, and one day we will be able to behead his head, have you forgotten our ambition many years ago!"

"I haven't forgotten!"

Pang De's heart warmed slightly, and he said with a wry smile: "I just thought I could fight against him, but my skills are still inferior to others, and I just feel angry!"

He laughed at himself, but quickly became resolute, and said: "I will clear up my mind in the future, and one day, I will fight him to the death!"

"At that time, I will help you!" Ma Chao said flatly.

"Let's talk business!"

Zhang Liao smiled. He was very optimistic about Pound. As for Ma Chao, it depended on the attitude of the Minghou Mansion. He was deciding how to treat him. Ma Chao was not Pound, and the two were different.

"First of all, we need to take down Hanyang, and then open up the three auxiliary areas, complete the docking with the Yellow Turban Army in Guanzhong, and connect Xiliang Guanzhong into a line!" Zhang Liao drew a line on the sand table, saying: "This will relieve us a lot. The defensive burden will also reduce the pressure on the troops, so that we can rectify our troops!"

"The first point, first of all, we must ensure the smoothness of Longdaokou. In addition, from Chencang to Chang'an, we must ensure the smoothness of the post road, so as to maintain the smoothness of Liangzhou and Guanzhong!"

Chen Gong stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Although Ma Teng's Longxi Army has withdrawn, it still has influence in this generation. It may be difficult to fight us, but it is absolutely no problem to harass our post!"

"Suppress bandits!"

Zhang Liao made up his mind and said: "In the name of suppressing bandits, fight all the way, even if it costs a lot, we must clear this area, but all enemy troops must not be spared, they must either surrender or be wiped out!"

Only when the post road is unobstructed can the two areas that are connected in a line be maintained.

"I go!"

Pound asked for a job.

"You are recuperating, you should not move!" Zhang Liao shook his head.

"Then I'll go!" Although Ma Chao was reluctant, after all, it was inevitable that he would meet the Longxi Army. It was always not good for the Longxi Army to fight the Longxi Army.

"Being not!"

Zhang Liao still shook his head.

Not mistrust.

But for Ma Chao, he can't use it until the higher authorities make a decision.

"Let the cavalry battalion go!"

Zhang Liao said to Chen Gong: "The cavalry battalion missed the big battle in the north, it's time for them to make a contribution!"

The cavalry battalion participated in the battle of Jishishan.

Thus missed the bloody battle in the north.

At this time to clean up the mess, we need a more mobile and powerful soldier, and the cavalry battalion is the most suitable.

"I will issue a military order to Pang Xi immediately!"

Chen Gong nodded and said.

Tread Tread! ! ! ! !
At this time, outside the tent, horseshoes sounded ferociously, stopped outside the tent door, a soldier jumped off his horse, carried a flag on his back, ignored the left and right guards, and rushed in directly.

"Urgent order from Zhaoming Pavilion!"

The soldiers held up the order in their hands and entered the camp majestically.

"It seems that Yudu has arranged for Xiliang here!"

Zhang Liao was not surprised.

This edict was soon in Zhang Liao's hands. He briefly looked at it, and then handed it to Chen Gong. Chen Gong glanced at it and smiled wryly, but his eyes lingered on Pang De and Ma Chao.

At this moment, all the generals focused their attention on them.

"Although Liangzhou is not stable, it has already entered the Marquis of Ming's Mansion. The administration is still under consideration in the Political Affairs Hall. Presumably there will be an order after some time, but in terms of military affairs, the Zhaoming Pavilion has already made a decision!"

Zhang Liao looked at the generals and said, "The Beiwutang will rebuild the Xiliang Army, Pang De's Pangzi Battalion, and Ma Chao's Longxi Army will all be merged into it. Longxi, Hanyang, Jincheng, Beidi, Dunhuang, Wuying!"

"Generals of the Xiliang Army, Pang De, Pang Lingming!"

"What?" Pound's eyes widened, a little unbelievable. He was defeated, but he was not punished, but was promoted instead. What's the reason for this?

"General, you read that right!"

"My lord's handwriting, the signatures of all the political participants in the Zhaoming Pavilion, and the edict for the establishment of the military system in the Beiwutang, this can't be wrong!" Zhang Liao handed a file in his hand to Pang De.

"why me?"

Pound gritted his teeth and asked.

"I don't know about that!" Zhang Liao patted him on the shoulder: "Since my lord is willing to hand over Xiliang's military power to you, what you should consider is not why you are here, but how to make Xiliang stable!"

"Yes!"

Pound took a deep breath to calm his mind.

Ma Chao, on the other hand, looked at him with a slight change in his eyes.

Do you want to make a living under Pound in the future?
I'm a little lucky.

And a little bit unwilling.

"As for Ma Chao!" Zhang Liao handed him a piece of paper: "My lord gave it to you!"

Ma Chao took it, opened it, and took a look.

Only six words.

Do you have the guts to come to Yudu?
"Yudu?"

Ma Chao took a deep breath, that place was the old lair of the Marquis of Ming, and the loyalty of the Southwest, not to mention that he entered alone, even if he led a hundred thousand cavalry to enter, he would not dare to say that he would come out.

"Whether to stay or not, you decide for yourself!"

Zhang Liao didn't talk to him much.

Next, continue to arrange various military affairs.

It doesn't mean that everything will be fine with the resettlement of the Hou Mansion. There are still many military affairs to be dealt with, especially now that Liangzhou is still in a very special stage.

"Min Wu killed too much recently!" Zhang Liao and Chen Gong finished talking about Liangzhou's military affairs, and then set their sights on Xiqiang.

"We defeated the last main force of Shaodang Qiang, and he took advantage of the momentum to take down Shaodang, a thousand-year-old tribe, how can there be no counterattack at all, he will be killed if he can't hold back!"

Chen Gong was not surprised.

"The key is where does Xiqiang go?"

"This is not something we can consider!" Chen Gong smiled bitterly.

"We can't do things halfway. Before we retreat, we must consider this issue!" Zhang Liao said: "In the edict of the lord, it is said that Zhanhu, Wuxi, Black Armored Cavalry, Flying Bird Scouts, the main force of the Fourth Battalion, Return to Hanzhong to rest as much as possible before!"

"Summoned like this?"

"Maybe it's because of some moves from the Central Plains, so the lord has to prepare for the battle in advance!" Zhang Liao said before: "So before I retreat, I have to shock the Western Qiang!"

"I don't agree with it!"

However, Chen Gong shook his head: "We can think of it, how could the lord not have imagined that since the lord has not issued an edict in this regard, then the edict must have been sent directly to Jishi Mountain!"

He paused, lowered his voice, and continued to Zhang Liao: "We obviously don't intend to intervene in the matter of Xiqiang. If we overstep, it may not be a good thing!"

"You were right in reminding me, I was overthinking!"

Saying this made Zhang Liao change his mind. He had a good intention, but now, he is no longer an ordinary pawn. He is the chief general and has to consider his own influence.

The most feared thing in the army is that when the general is outside, the military order will not be accepted.
