Wuhu Mingyue

The battle last night made Zhao Ran's prestige firmly in the hearts of all the soldiers who followed him in the rebellion. It is really invincible!First, they frightened and surrendered Tongguan without a single soldier, and then attacked the unsuspecting Liangzhou troops at night. Even the eight thousand cavalry who set out to attack at night by themselves lost only a few dozen people. This is simply a military god!

Zhao Ran returned to Tongguan City under the admiration of all the generals. In this battle, more than 5000 horses were obtained, more than 5000 people were captured, and more than 3000 enemies were killed. More than a month!

When the defenders of Tongguan saw their new master returning in triumph, no one dared to use their inappropriate brains anymore...

Everyone was in awe of Zhao Ran.

As soon as Zhao Ran returned to the prefect's mansion, he said to his own soldiers: "What's different in the pass?"

"General Qi, there are a few Xiaoxiao who want to instigate surrender, but they have already been beheaded by us!"

"Well, you guys are doing well, any other news?"

"Report to the general, according to the general's request, we have sent scouts to investigate in the direction of Chang'an, and found that a force of more than 2 people is heading towards Tongguan!"

"Well, it seems that what that dead ghost Zhang Mao said is true. Who led the group of people who came to Tongguan this time, and what kind of troops are they? Can you find out clearly?"

"General Qi, I found out that they are all infantry, and the banner of the marching general is "Chunyu"!"

Zhao Ran laughed when he heard the word "Chunyu".

The soldier asked puzzledly, "Why is the general laughing?"

"Hahaha, I guess it must be Chunyu's engagement. Does this idiot think that he is invincible if he can flatter? This time, he has to taste the power of this general!"

"How is the general going to deal with Chunyu Ding? Since they are all infantry, why don't we charge them with cavalry?"

"That's not necessary. You order people to ambush [-] cavalry on both sides of the west gate of Tongguan, and then arm all those who surrendered with bows and arrows on the city wall, and then arrange our [-] troops to scatter among the surrendered soldiers." If they don't obey orders, they will be killed on the spot!"

"Yes!"

"You go and arrange for the person who lied to Zhang Guang before to send a letter to Chun Yuding, saying that I want to clean up for him!"

"Yes!"

"As soon as Chunyu Ding enters Tongguan City, we will catch a turtle in a urn! I will personally lead the remaining two thousand cavalry to give Yu Chunyu Ding a fatal blow in the city! Hahahaha!"

The soldiers also complied with Zhao Ran and smiled lightly.

Zhao Ran smiled for a while, and suddenly said: "Haha, do you think that Zhang Mao is a bit interesting, doing such a thing as killing the prefect, but dedicating this huge Tongguan to me for nothing, and even doing it for me?" With so many schemes, what a talent! Hahaha!"

"Then why does the general want to kill him? If you keep him, maybe you can continue to advise the general..."

"Hehe, what do you know, this Zhang Mao is really too smart, if you stay with such a person, you don't know when you will be decapitated like Zhang Dan, and I don't need to look at other people all day A descendant reminds himself that he is also a traitor..."

Suburbs of Dayao Town

Zhang Guang, the governor of Liangzhou, and Yang Maosou, the king of Qiuchi, both looked very embarrassed. Their entire army was wiped out in the first battle of Daizi Yingxiang, and now there are only more than 3000 stragglers who escaped with them...

Zhang Guang glanced at the remaining remnants of the army with a sigh. He knew very well that most of the people died in the camp, and the number of those who fled and were captured was unknown. The most tragic battle, but also the most thorough defeat...

Yang Jian took an inventory of the remaining troops. The last 3000 people were basically his Di clan troops, and there were basically not many people left in the troops of Zhang Guang, the governor of Liangzhou...

Yang Jian lifted the reins, came to Zhang Guang, and said softly: "Master Inspector, let's hurry back to Liangzhou. Now the Huns have broken through Tongguan and cut off our way to Chang'an. Now we only have the original road to wait for." returned..."

Zhang Guang glanced at Yang Jian's head gratefully. Fortunately, there was still this Di person who was in danger, otherwise he might have died last night...

Zhang Guang nodded helplessly, glanced at Yang Maosou again, and said dejectedly, "Brother Maosou, I'm sorry for you!"

Yang Maosou hurriedly came to Zhang Guang's side and comforted him: "I, Qiu Chidi, have always been taken care of by the governor. I don't blame you and me for this defeat, but we didn't expect that the Huns would die so easily. We have captured Tongguan!"

"Yeah, the old man didn't expect that we were so close to Tongguan, and we didn't even notice the wind. How did Tongguan fall!?"

Zhang Mai also came to Zhang Guang and others, and said softly: "I think that when I went to Tongguan that day, Tongguan might have fallen, and then the Huns discussed this sinister plan of pretending to come to help...".

Hearing this, Zhang Guang suddenly raised his head to the sky and let out a long sigh: "Heaven destroys us! Tongguan's natural barrier has disappeared! Heaven destroys us!"

After Zhang Guang roared so loudly three times, he suddenly became dizzy and fell under the horse!

Yang Jiantou and the others broke out in a cold sweat, quickly helped Zhang Guang onto the horse, and hurriedly evacuated to Ningshan County.

Three hundred miles outside the west gate of Tongguan

Chunyu Ding was riding slowly on the horse. In such a cold weather, he had to travel so hard, which really made Chunyu Ding very annoyed!

"Go and ask, how long will it take to reach Tongguan?"

"Report to the general, it's less than three hundred miles away!"

"Oh, only more than 300 miles away?! Well, let the whole army continue to maintain this marching speed!"

"General, if this delays the delivery of military rations, if something happens in Tongguan, we won't be able to explain to King Nanyang..."

"Fart! What's the trouble?!"

"Yes, yes, the villain is ignorant...".

"You don't know, Zhang Dan, the prefect of Tongguan, is full of oil and water. If you don't have enough food and grass, it's all fart!"

"General, what do you say?"

"Hehe, you are also my confidant, so it's okay to tell you. This Zhang Dan is the most greedy. I don't know how many good things he has hidden behind my back, let alone food and grass. The [-] braids in Tongguan alone, At least he ate around ten thousand in empty pay!"

"so much?"

"Hehe, so this kid definitely wants to take advantage of the opportunity of the Huns to hold him back, and ask Nanyang King for food and money, so as to fill his own pocket. I guess his savings are enough for him to support him for a few more months. So we don't have to rush to deliver things to him!"

"It's still the general who knows the details!"

While Chunyu Ding was complacently analyzing Zhang Dan's various possibilities, a soldier under his command hurried over.

"Report...Report to General Chunyu, Zhang Dan, the prefect of Tongguan, has sent someone to meet the general. He said that he has prepared delicious food and wine in the pass to clean up the dust for the general!"

"Hehehehe, this Zhang Dan is really smart. Well, let's speed up our pace and order the whole army to march faster, and we must arrive at Tongguan at noon tomorrow! I am running around for him this time, I want to see How can Zhang Dan be filial to me, hahaha!"
