Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 758 A Different Street Pavilion
The number one general, Wei Yan, did not speak first, and the generals were somewhat surprised, thinking that Wei Yan was dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang.

Wang Ping clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister, the general is willing to go at the end."

Joining the army, Ma Su also came out of the squad and said: "The last general is also willing to guard the street pavilion."

Zhuge Liang looked around at the generals, his mind was as fast as lightning: he had the biggest flaw in commanding troops, he could only command from a distance, he could not order the three armies in front of the battle, he needed a general who could lead the army and make decisions on the fly, Wei Yan should have been the last Suitable candidates, but Wei Yan is disobedient; Zhao Yun is brave, but he is not wise and old; The difference between the others is even worse. Deng Zhi and Yang Yi are just as unable to go to the front line as themselves.After all the calculations, there were only Wang Ping and Ma Su. Wang Ping was calm and cautious. Unfortunately, Wang Ping was illiterate. How could he lead the army if he could not read?Then there is only one Ma Su left.

Ma Di is Ma Liang's younger brother, his background is undisputed, his strategy is remarkable, skill is generally not important, what is lacking is experience, why not take this opportunity to give Ma Di some military merit?Ma Su regards himself as his father, isn't he the best candidate to replace Wei Yan?
On this point, Zhuge Liang is inferior to Sun Quan. Sun Quan persuaded him to learn, Wu Xia Amon was admired by others, but Wang Ping did not have such a good teaching.

"Ma Su and Wang Ping listened to the order, ordering you two to lead 5000 troops to station at Jieting. After the army is finished, after arriving at Jieting, you need to check the geography and choose a suitable place to camp. Be sure to guard for a month." Zhuge Liang picked up the command arrow, "Gao Xiang listened to the order. There is a small town named Liucheng behind Jieting. You lead 5000 troops to meet in this city."

Wei Yan was in a hurry: "Prime Minister, our army suddenly marched north this time, and Cao Wei did not build dikes, so we went down to three counties in a row, which is already oppressive to Guanzhong, which is extremely beneficial to our army. It's not that easy to prepare for."

"Master Wen doesn't need to say any more. Wu Yi, Wu Ban, and Ma Dai listened to the order, ordering the three of you to move all the people of the three counties into Hanzhong; Yang Yi and Fei Yi returned to Hanzhong first to prepare to accept them."

"Zhang Yi and Zhang Yi straighten out the troops, Chen Shi and Cuan Xi deliver food and grass, follow me back to the army!"

Up to this moment, Wei Yan already understood that retreating was unchangeable, so he clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister, what about the general?"

"Chang Wen listened to the order and led the troops of the headquarters to cut off the rear for my army!"

Poor Wei Yan, there are only 5000 troops left in the headquarters.

"Ling, tell your sons Long and Deng Zhi to guard Jigu strictly to prevent Cao Zhen from attacking again."

Ma Di and Wang Ping rushed to Jieting.Wang Ping asked: "You Chang thought that Cao Zhen would come to Jieting?"

"The prime minister has no plans to leave behind, and the Wei army will definitely come." Ma Di said resolutely.

Jieting, located on the side of Longshan Mountain in the west of Liupan Mountain, passes through the Guanlong Ancient Road connecting Qinchuan and Tianshui for [-] miles, and is also one of the Silk Roads leading to the Western Regions.When they arrived at Jieting, the two checked the terrain. The terrain of Jieting was relatively flat, and the Qingshui River interspersed with it was shallow and narrow, and there were not many high mountains in the surrounding mountains.

Ma Su couldn't help frowning and said to Wang Ping: "From Zijun's point of view, although Jieting is an important road, there is no danger to defend it. I remember that Emperor Guangwu once conquered Longyou twice, one was Longdi, and Kai Xiao's general Wang Yuan seized Longdi Two years later, in Lueyang, the great general She led 2000 people to attack Lueyang, and based on this, he resisted the siege of tens of thousands of Kaihuo troops for several months."

Wang Ping was surprised: "Longdi is sixty miles east of Jieting, but Lueyang is west of Jieting. The prime minister ordered me to guard Jieting. How can you find another place?"

"Forget it, you and I will be stationed here temporarily. Li Sheng listens to the order, and you take twenty horses to find out the movement of the Wei army." As the commander-in-chief of the first army, Ma Su hesitated, and decided to find out the situation of the Wei army before making any plans. General Li Sheng inquired about the news.

At dawn the next day, Li Sheng came to report in a hurry: "General, generals Jiang Wei and Wang Shuang of the Wei Army led 2 people to rush towards the street pavilion. It may be less than a hundred miles away at this time."

Ma Di was furious: "Why didn't you report it earlier!" Ma Di wanted to deal with Li Sheng, but Wang Ping dissuaded him.

Baili Road is only half a day's journey, and it will be faster if you use Qingqi.Seeing that a defensive battle had turned into an encounter, neither Ma Di nor Wang Ping expected that the Wei army would come so quickly, and it was impossible to seize Longdi. Would they retreat to Lueyang?Too late!The most urgent task is to seize the time to organize the defense.

"Li Sheng and Huang Xi, each of you will lead 2000 people to dig trenches and cut down trees to build barriers." Ma Di will race against time to build a fortress from the hastily built camp in just half a day.

The general Huang Xi suggested: "Occupy this mountain and commandeer, you can defeat the Wei army."

Wang Ping scolded: "This mountain is a desperate place. If the Wei army cuts off the way to draw water, our army will be in chaos in less than ten days. We must not abandon the way."

Li Sheng said with a smile: "Our army has won one after another, and the Wei army has long been discouraged. Is the general Wang afraid of the Wei army? Didn't the general Wang hear that when Cao Cao went to Wuhuan, he took advantage of the location and Zhang Wenyuan cut him down with a knife and smashed Wuhuan? Jiang Wei and Wang Shuang both He is an unknown person, what a shame!"

"How can the two armies underestimate their opponents in a confrontation? Jiang Wei, Wang Shuangde, and Cao Zhen have led the army so far. They are by no means incompetent." Faced with Li Sheng's provocation, Wang Ping was very dissatisfied.

Huang Xi retorted: "What Li Sheng said is very true. Has General Wang ever read military books? Don't you hear that being condescending is as powerful as a broken bamboo? Wei Wenchang made a surprise attack on Dingjun Mountain. Xia Houyuan came to seize the mountain in panic. The late emperor took Hanzhong."

This is to make fun of Wang Ping's illiteracy.Li Sheng and Huang Xi, who came from rich families in Yizhou, looked down on Wang Ping, who came from a poor family, and they were also dissatisfied with Ma Di, who was born in Jingzhou.

Ma Di's face darkened: "Don't speak nonsense! I have been familiar with military books since I was a child, and I have made many suggestions around the prime minister. How can I not know? General Zijun's words are prudent, how can you understand them?" He said to Wang Ping: "Huang Xi's words are not unreasonable. If the Wei army occupies this mountain, our army will be spied on by them, which is not good for me. Looking at this place, only this mountain is beneficial to me. I want to divide my troops. One will occupy this mountain and one will occupy it." The Ministry is blocking the way, and it has become a trend of fighting corners."

Wang Ping sighed helplessly: "Just follow the general."

The two divided their forces, Ma Di and Dong Xi led ten thousand people to camp on the mountain, Wang Ping and Li Sheng led five thousand people to gather in the ruling party, but in this way they lost a lot of time.Ma Di ordered the soldiers to prepare more drinking water and plan to stick to it for a long time.Li Sheng and Huang Xi became more and more proud, and the two main generals were nothing more than that.

Wang Shuang rushed all the way, and arrived in only two hours. Seeing that the Shu army was guarding, he hurriedly discussed countermeasures with Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei stayed in Ma for a long time, and he had a slight advantage in terms of military strength, but the Shu army occupied a certain geographical area, so he had to use tactics to break it.
