The last three kingdoms

Chapter 372 The Second Ma Di

At the same time, on Baishapo, twenty miles away from the street pavilion, a Wei general in full military uniform was looking westward.

Seen from here, the towering and majestic Longshan Mountain looks like a giant blue dragon, lying across the west of the Guanzhong Plain.

He was General Tang Bin of Guangwu who served as the vanguard officer of Wei Jun's westward march.Tang Bin is proficient in bows and horses, and he is a rare general with all-round talents in civil and military affairs. He used to serve as the prefect of Yiyang. Riding [-], lead the way first.

Before leaving, Sima Wang said: "To go to Longxi, you must take the ancient road of Jieting. If the Shu people did not set up defenses at the Jieting, you can drive straight in. If there are Shu soldiers guarding the Jieting, you must not wait for it. Only when our army arrives can we attack."

After Tang Bin took the order, he led his troops towards Jieting along Guanlong Avenue. After seeing the rolling Longshan Mountains, Tang Bin did not rush to Jieting, but ordered the temporary garrison at Baishapo to rest, and dispatched a reprimand Hou Bing went to Jieting to find out the truth.

Sima Wang has dealt with the Shu army for many years, and he knows that the Shu army has rich experience in mountain warfare, especially good at fighting ambushes. Sima Wang has suffered from the Shu army's ambush several times. On the right throat, the Shu people are full of tricks and cunning. I'm afraid they have set up an ambush near the street pavilion, and Sima Wang doesn't want to rush in rashly and be made dumplings.

Therefore, in the selection of the vanguard officer, Sima Wang did not choose the brave and unparalleled fierce future as the vanguard, but chose Tang Bin, who is both wise and brave, and cautious.Tang Bin also lived up to Sima Wang's expectations. Although he was rushing forward, he maintained a strict formation and a sense of defense. Understand thoroughly.

Soon, the scout reported to Tang Bin: "General Qi, a large number of traces of the Shu army were found in Jieting."

Tang Bin's heart sank suddenly, it seemed that it was unfortunate that Sima's words were true, the Shu people had already occupied the street pavilion.He said in a deep voice: "How many soldiers and horses do the people of Shu have stationed at the street pavilion? Who is the general who leads the army?"

The scout hesitated for a moment, and said with a distressed expression: "General Qi, all the Shu troops are stationed on the earth mountain. The small ones can only watch from a distance, and cannot go up the mountain. It is impossible to see how many troops there are on the mountain." Qing, but the banner of the Shu Army, the small one is clearly seen, it is a word 'Fu'."

"Fu character?" Tang Bin murmured to himself, among the Shu army, there were not many generals surnamed Fu, and only the general of the town army, Fu Qian, had a higher status, "It seems that the leader must be Fu Qian. Just now you said that all the Shu troops were stationed on the earth mountain, but is it true?"

The scout hurriedly said: "The little one can see clearly. There is no one on the road on both sides of the street pavilion, but on the dirt hill, there are neat camp fences and numerous banners. You can vaguely see crowds of people. The army's brigade must all be stationed on the earth hill."

Tang Bin couldn't help frowning. Although Tang Bin hadn't been born when the Jieting battle happened 37 years ago, it obviously didn't prevent him from understanding that Jieting battle. For Wei Guo , This battle is almost a classic like a textbook. Zhang Yun rushed thousands of miles, broke through the heavily defended street pavilions of the Shu army in one fell swoop, and easily regained the counties of Longxi.Classic battle cases like this are must-reads for almost every Wei general, and Tang Bin is no exception. Tang Bin is also very clear about the whole story of this battle.

If we say that this battle was not the result of Zhang Xi, it would be better to say that Ma Di's stupidity helped him, and he was put to death, and finally led to self-defeating. Ma Di almost became the laughing stock of the world.Tang Bin believes that Ma Di, as a negative teaching material, should have taught the Shu people a profound lesson. The expensive tuition must have surprised the Shu people, at least not. will repeat the same mistakes.

However, the information returned by the scout soldiers was that the Shu army did not take the lead and set up a stronghold. Instead, it adopted the same strategy as Ma Di's back then, stationing troops on the earth hill.

Tang Bin was deeply shocked. It wasn't that he didn't believe the report of the scouts, but that it was too incredible.With a cautious personality, he decided to go over and check it out himself. Could it be that decades have passed, and the landscape of the street pavilion has changed?

So Tang Bin ordered the soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion not to press the button on Baishapo, and he personally led dozens of cavalry soldiers to the street pavilion to see what happened.

Although Jieting is an important hub connecting Guanzhong and Longyou, due to its location in the rear, since the failure of the Shu people's first Northern Expedition, Shu people never had the opportunity to come to Jieting again in the following decades. The defense of the pavilion was naturally relaxed, and a simple pass city became dilapidated and completely abandoned under the erosion of wind and sand.

Tang Bin arrived at Guancheng, which was deserted. From here, he could clearly see the situation on the earth mountain. It was exactly as described by the scout soldiers. On the top of the earth mountain, there were fortified camps and banners, and there seemed to be countless Shu soldiers. Is patrolling.As for the avenue at the foot of the mountain, which was divided into two by the earth mountain, there was no one in sight.

Tang Bin couldn't help but gasped. What the Shu army did really subverted his three views. It is impossible for a person to step into the same river twice. However, what the Shu army did was just another step into the same situation?

Is Fu Qian really the second Ma Di?

The cautious Tang Bin is still not completely sure that the Shu army will really follow the same path as Ma Su. He sent more scouts to go deep into the back of the street pavilion, and even into the surrounding Longshan Mountains, and continue to trace the roots of the situation. At the end, I want to find out the Shu army hiding in the dark.In Tang Bin's consideration, it seems that the people of Shu should hide their opponents, and the fortification of the earth mountain is just a cover to lure the Wei army to attack, so that they can wait for an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

But the result of the scout's further investigation was that within a radius of ten miles, there was no sign of the Shu army at all. Except for the Shu army stationed on the top of the mountain, there would never be any ambushes of the Shu army in other places.

It was only at this time that Tang Bin truly believed that Fu Qian was really the second Ma Di. It seems that Ma Di is not the only one who is stupid in Shu. After 37 years, no one can learn the same lesson as blood. That earth mountain is the Shu people. In the burial place of the cemetery, history once again had an amazing coincidence.

But this time, Tang Bin should be the one who achieved the world's greatest fame——Tang Bin, who was riding on the horse, took a deep breath and thought to himself confidently.
