Chapter 74 Decoy
in the middle.

The Wei army formed a fortification inside, and the Shu army set up a stronghold outside.

The two armies face each other north and south.

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

But Xia Houba is also a veteran who has been on the battlefield for more than 20 years. He went to the front line many times and fought bloody battles with the soldiers.

Wei Jun put it to death, and he was united.

It is not that the Shu army is incapable of destroying Xiahou Ba. The tiger infantry army is more powerful than the Wei army, but the trapped beasts are still fighting. The Shu army has to think clearly about the price involved.

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 worse.

The situation has become clear, Xia Houba has become a poisonous bait.

It was an abandoned child thrown out by Guo Huai.

At that time, Jiang Wei was in his forties. In the sixth year of Yanxi in the Shu Han Dynasty, after he moved to be the general of Zhenxi and lead the governor of Liangzhou, there was always a flame burning in his heart.

Continuing the will of Zhuge Wuhou, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and the restoration of the Han Dynasty.

However, the world is difficult, and the sun and the moon are grinding.

The Qilin who used to be is no longer young.

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

As for Wei Guo, although Luo Gu suffered a disastrous defeat, his backhand was to defeat Goguryeo and sweep Liaodong.

Looking at the endless barracks of the Wei army, Jiang Wei felt worried.

"Scouts to report, Guo Huaiti gathered 4000 people from Anding and Deng Zhong's troops to rush to Zhan County." The voice of Shang Shupu shooting Dong Jue sounded from behind.

The Dahan County was named after the barrier in the west, and it is located in the southeast of the middle east.

Guo Huai's meaning is self-evident.

Use Xiahouba to consume the combat power of the tiger infantry, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Jiang Wei didn't seem to hear Dong Jue's words, and kept looking ahead.

"The general defeated Guo Huai and Xiahouba, and he has made great achievements. When he returns to the court, he can also explain to His Majesty, the great Sima, and the great general."

Grand Sima Jiang Wan and General Fei Yi have always disapproved of Jiang Wei's dispatch of troops.

Think the time is not yet ripe.

"If I had [-] people under my command, I would be able to attack Longxi this time. Cao Wei seems to be tyrannical, but in fact he is strong on the outside, and Cao Shuang and Sima Yi are fighting for power in the middle of the country. But selfishness is very serious, and he is not my enemy!" Jiang Wei turned around, his eyes like two sharp swords.

Although the years are passing, the ambition is still there!
Such a magnanimity made Dong Jue heartbroken.

What Shuzhong lacks the most is this vigor.

After the death of Marquis Wu, Dong Jue felt that among the people in Sichuan, 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 are well-behaved, and they are naturally leaders in the world in governing the country, but they are a little behind in opening up territories.

There are dangerous mountains and rivers in the middle of Shu, which can block foreign enemies, but it also traps oneself to death.

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

"Since the Wei thieves' inner court is restless, why don't the general wait a little longer to accumulate wealth and train soldiers to watch the enemy's provocations? There will be changes in the future, and the general will be able to get twice the result with half the effort if he sweeps the pass with thunderous force. People can only be assisted, not relied on."

"Gong Xizhi's words are sincere and good, but people are greedy for peace, and Wei's bandits don't know what's going on. If I don't raise troops to attack and motivate soldiers' hearts, it won't take two or three years. People's hearts will be slack and soldiers will have no fighting spirit!"

Jiang Wei looked at Dong Jue with a smile.

Dong Jue clasped his hands and said, "The general is very thoughtful, I am too late, but right now, our army is already at a disadvantage..."

It is an adventure to go deep into the enemy's territory with [-] people.

"Midang has always had different ideas, so it's okay to wait another two days. Guo Huai surrounded us in three ways, and the troops were scattered. Whoever dares to stand out from the generals in Longxi can try my sword first." Jiang Weihao said dryly.

"Great!" Dong Jue had no doubts about Jiang Wei's rhetoric.

The two talked about the state of Wei's affairs again, and when they were having a good time chatting, scouts came from the south on horseback.

"Report to the two generals that the Qiang people have already dispatched troops, and they are coming from the middle of the river."

"how many people?"

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

Dong Jue frowned, "Only these people?"

"Yes! The subordinate sent back and forth to check three times."

Jiang Weilue nodded and said, "You've done a good job, go investigate again, and don't let go of every move."

"promise!"

After scouting down, Dong Jue became suspicious, "This group of Qiang soldiers seems to be wrong."

Jiang Wei smiled and said nothing.

Dong Jue picked up a branch and drew a rough map of Longyou on the ground, "Fanghan is located at the junction of Hexi, Longxi and Qiang. If it is not enough, we should attack the nearest Houhe and Lintao. Why did you give up the near and seek the far north and go to the north? Could it be..."

"The Qiang people won't make trouble anymore."

Dong Jue threw the branch in his hand angrily, "Midang took our money, silk and weapons, but broke his promise!"

Jiang Wei smiled and said: "I have thought about it carefully, divided the Wei army into three parts, the falsehood and the real situation, all the generals in Longyou have fallen into my plan, and there are still people who have insight into my plan."

Dong Jue asked suspiciously: "Except for Guo Huai and Xiahouba, who else is there in Longyou? Could it be Deng Ai? But this person is good at farming, and I have never heard of him having a military strategy."

"Since we're here, let's 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, only swordsmen meet each other.

When passing by Lintao, he was regarded as the Shu army by the defenders.

Fortunately, Lintao was stationed by Hu Fen, otherwise it would be unclear.

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

"Jiang Wei's wisdom is profound, and Xingyun may not be able to hide this plan from him."

When he reminded him, Yang Zheng woke up suddenly.

It is unusual for the Qiang people to be able to go north to Yanzhong.

Hu Fen can see it, but Jiang Wei can't?
But at this time, the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. It is best to be deceived, but if you can't be deceived, you can only force it.

Xiahouba was trapped for seven or eight days, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Saying goodbye to Hu Fen, Yang Zheng continued down the Taoshui.

With the reminder, it is natural to be more vigilant.

He didn't dare to go as fast as before, but sent out scouts to wait for Jiang Faye's pawns at every step.

But all the way was calm, occasionally there were a few scouts of the Shu army who were vaguely in the distance, but they didn't dare to approach.

Approaching the middle of the river, I can see layers of tents of the Shu army in front of me, and there is a murderous look between the mountains and rivers.

Yang Zheng's scalp tingled suddenly.

Luo Gu's fiasco also left a shadow in his heart.

A high ground was chosen, and before the camp was set up, a group of cavalry flew out of the camp of the Shu army, rolling across the grassy valley like dark red flames.

Surrounded by a man in the middle, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, a solemn appearance, Gu Panjian's masculinity is beyond words, wearing silver armor, holding a long spear, riding a horse to the place of shooting, and hundreds of cavalry behind him are like one person.

"Er and other Qiang people are so untrustworthy, why did you delay here?" The man stood in front of the battle and shouted, majestic.

This person should be Jiang Wei, son of Tianshui Kirin.

Yang Zheng seemed like a fan meeting an idol.

Hearing what he said, it seems that he has been tricked?

Yang Zheng's little heart was beating wildly.

If Jiang Wei is captured, he will be really developed.
