Chapter 67 Famous General
The generals of Shangyu are still arguing endlessly about rescuing Chen Cang and Longxi.

"Guanzhong is the heart, and Longxi is the siblings. If the limbs are broken, they can still be continued. If the heart is lost, Yongliang will die!" Guo Huai's eldest son Guo Tong said.

"At the moment when Guanzhong is empty of troops, the general must be prepared." Xu Zhi also cupped his hands.

The rest of Pang Hui, Hu Fen, Hu Lie, Guo Xun, Li Jian, etc. were divided into left and right schools.

Wang Ping's [-]-strong army, known as [-], Wudang Flying Army is in the front, young and strong are in the back, and the Qiang are lined up on the left and right.

The Wei army around looked at his banners and retreated, and no one dared to touch his front.

Guo Huai looked at the hanging map, momentarily fascinated.

Since the beginning of the army, he has fought against the Shu people in the west.

From Dingjun Mountain to Longyou, from Longyou to Guanzhong, fought fiercely with Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan and other figures, and fought repeatedly, winning and losing each other.

He predicted the enemy many times before, and was relied on by Sima Yi and other court veterans, and gradually became the mainstay of the west.

It was originally thought that the northern bandits from Shu were targeting Longxi.

But in the current situation, Jiang Wei and Wang Ping are left and right, who is the main force?

No one can make up his mind what the intention of the Shu army is.

But intuitively, Guo Huai prefers Jiang Wei.

Wang Ping seemed menacing, but he was somewhat bluffing.

2 people wanted to annex Guanyou, even Zhuge Kongming didn't have such a big appetite.

The Qinling Mountains are a natural moat to the Wei State, so why not to the Shu State?
That's why Wei Wu compared Hanzhong to "chicken ribs".

The Shu army is good at fighting in mountainous areas, and Wudang Feijun is the best among them.

But going deep into the Guanyou Plain, how could the Yongliang cavalry be afraid of him?

Instead, it was Jiang Wei's Tiger Army that made Guo Huai deeply afraid.

In the battle of Wuzhangyuan, Sima Yi attacked thousands of tiger infantry with more than ten thousand elite soldiers, but was repelled head-on and returned without success.

"Report-"

The scouts rushed in and bowed in front of Guo Huai, "General, Liao Hua, the prefect of Shuyinping, brought [-] troops to Qishan Fort."

"Liao Hua? Is he even here?" Guo Huai's expression changed.

There is only one veteran general in central Shu.

Participated in almost all the wars in Shu.

In the second year of Emperor Jingchu of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the year when Sima Yi attacked Liaodong and beheaded Gongsun Yuan, Liao Hua commanded troops to attack the camp of Wei Guoshou Shanqiang Hou Dangyu. Guo Huai sent Wang Yun, the prefect of Guangwei, and You Yi, the prefect of Nan'an, to lead the rescue. , the two armies attacked east and west, and Liao Hua was left behind. Liao Hua fought hard with his weak force, broke You Yi, shot Wang Yun, and flattened the Qiang village.

Guo Huai had a deep memory of this battle.

Behind Qishan Castle are Tianshui, Guangwei, and Nan'an counties, behind Chencang is Guanzhong, and Longxi County is the heart of Longyou.

Is Shu really planning to attack Yongliang across the board?
Guo Huai closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

The generals in the hall held their breaths and waited for the final verdict.

After a dozen or so breaths, Guo Huai suddenly opened his eyes, and his intimidating gaze swept over everyone one by one, "In the past, Zhuge Kongming came out of Qishan six times, and he couldn't annex Yongliang. Liao Hua, Wang Ping, and Jiang Weiju were just [-] to [-] underdogs. , what can I do?"

Even if some people had objections just now, they are all heartbroken by Guo Huai's aura now.

"Qishan Fort and Chencang are all empty soldiers, Longxi is where the Shu people's front is located!"

Just as he saw through Zhuge Wuhou's intention of stationing troops in Wuzhangyuan, Guo Huai once again saw the reality of the Shu army.

This is the keen intuition of a veteran who has been in the field for more than 30 years.

The Shu army can't defeat Guanzhong, let alone the determination and ambition to annex Guanzhong!

The era of Zhuge Wuhou is gone forever.

The current state of Shu is not the state of Shu at that time!
"Xu Zhi led 2000 troops to garrison Yuyu, and Pang Hui led [-] people to enter Lucheng. All the ministries made great fanfare and fought suspicious soldiers against suspicious soldiers. The rest of the generals gathered troops and horses, and went to Longxi with me to meet Jiang Wei!"

Lintao.

The Shu army was not in a hurry to march north, but went from east to west, from south to north, mainly plundering grain.

Most of the small towns along the way dispersed.

Yang Zheng followed the Shu army for two days, and felt that the one in front of him seemed to be a suspicious soldier.

What exactly is the Shu army going to do?Isn't now a good time to attack Didao?
But when he thought that Jiang Wei was the main general of the enemy army, Yang Zheng didn't dare to speculate with common sense.

On the fourth day, the Shu army suddenly changed their previous casual state and began to build a camp on Longma Mountain, as if they were reluctant to leave.

To the northeast of Longma Mountain is Xiangwu, and to the north Shouyang Mountain is connected to Wushu Mountain, which is the source of the Wei River.

Occupying this place can pose a great threat to surrounding counties.

Just as Yang Zheng had expected, it was impossible for Guo Huai to turn a blind eye to Longxi and lead eight thousand elites from Yongliang to the north of Longma Mountain.

The two armies confront each other, and the war is imminent.

Yang Zheng was full of interest in the fight between two famous generals in the world, and led [-] cavalry to watch from the north corner of Longma Mountain.

At this time, Xia Houba also led [-] troops into the camp behind Longma Mountain to block the retreat of the Shu army.

The Shu army was facing a dilemma.

Just when Yang Zheng thought that the Shu army would lead troops to attack Xiahouba first, the Shu army suddenly poured down from Longma Mountain to attack Guo Huai in the north.

This move caught everyone by surprise.

The same is true of Wei Jun.

The tiger infantry wore heavy armor, held continuous crossbows, and their arrows were like locusts covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

Ju Fu, Fu Qian, Huo Yi, and Li Shao are four strong generals fighting in front, and Jiang Weidu is in the back.

The Shu army was condescending, and rushed in with a thunderous momentum. Everyone fought desperately.

Luo Gu suffered a disastrous defeat, and the morale of the Wei army was still at a low ebb.

Being hit head-on by Jiang Wei, he collapsed immediately.

Guo Huai had predicted everything, but he did not expect that Jiang Wei would be so bold to give it a go, which was completely different from the cautiousness of the Shu army in the past.

Right now, the sky is full of wind and fire, people's hearts are scattered, the camp has been taken down, and Wei Jun's heart is lost.

Guo Huai knew that he could not defend, so he led his troops to fight and leave.

Jiang Wei drove his troops forward, holding on tight.

Fortunately, Xia Houba led his troops to storm the rear of the Shu army regardless of previous suspicions, and the Xiangwu defenders sent troops to help, so that Guo Huai escaped disaster and hid in Xiangwu City.

But Jiang Wei immediately raised his troops and turned to fight Xiahouba on the mountainside.

All over the mountains and plains are the flags of the Shu army, and the sound of war drums is like thunder.

If it was a dormant tiger before, it is now an explosive tiger.

Xia Houba knew that he was no match for the tiger infantry on the mountain road, so he led the army back to the middle of the mountain.

Jiang Wei was enraged and attacked from three sides.

Wei Jun defended tremblingly.

If there is no skin left, how will the hair be attached?

Xiahouba is Yang Zheng's immediate boss, without his care, Yang Zheng would not be able to stand in Longxi.

It can only lead the cavalry to harass uninterruptedly, strangle the peripheral Shu army, and share the pressure of Xiahouba.

But there were also cavalry in the tiger infantry army, this time they didn't hold back, they came out in full force, chasing and killing Yang Zheng's [-] cavalry.

Shu cavalry can shoot crossbow arrows on horseback. Fortunately, after so many days of observation, Yang Zheng had expected it.

With the help of the terrain, he escaped the pursuit of Shu Qi several times.

But it was impossible to support Xiahouba any more.

Yang Zheng can only hope that Guo Huai can regain his strength.
