As some generals in Cao's camp disobeyed orders and attacked without authorization, they slashed their butcher knives at the unarmed people around them.

Waves of bloody aura instantly arose in the surrounding area.

Wait until this matter spreads.

As a Han camp where the soldiers and civilians provided food and other supplies.

Zhao Tong also made a prompt decision and adopted the strategy of his female officer Zhao Yue, sending everyone to go deep into the surrounding areas to appease the people.

After a series of operations.

The reputation of the Han army in Longnan also became more and more widespread.

The voice of being a teacher of benevolence and righteousness also gradually spread to other cities in Longxi or to the counties in Liangzhou, gradually and continuously spreading.

This is the end of the game.

With the massacre of Cao Ying, their already bad impression in the hearts of the people was once again tarnished.

As the saying goes, "No comparison, no harm."

In the comparison between Han and Cao, the reputation of the Han army is naturally highly respected.

On this round.

Zhao Tong was definitely better than Cao General Fei Yao.

And when people in various places gradually mentioned the name of the Han army's benevolence and righteousness, and news of this gradually spread to Cao Ying.

When the commander-in-chief Fei Yao heard the discussion from the people.

At this moment, he just looked solemn, showing endless helpless sighs.

This is something that can be done!

After all, he made one wrong step and another wrong step. He still wanted to win people's support, but it was obviously difficult to achieve it again.

And he dared to conclude that not only Longxi, but probably even the entire Liangzhou counties would view him with the same impression.

Our own army is a cruel and unkind people.

There may be no way to take off this label.

It is only said that the confrontation between the two armies at the foot of Longsang City lasted for a long time.

Even though the general Fei Yao wanted to forcefully break through the Han camp with his superior force, he had no choice but to fail due to the tenacious fighting spirit of all the troops in defense!

Look at the fighting spirit of his army.

Fei Yao had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​forcibly breaking through the enemy's camp.

And because the Wangcheng Valley is already to the west, there are white horses and Qiang across that land to help protect the Han army's rear grain road.

As a result, Cao Jun's plan to connect the surrounding horse gangs and invade the Qiang tribe in depth also came to nothing.

A frontal breakthrough is impossible, and attacking the rear is impossible.

At this moment, the two sides were forced to confront each other under Longsang City.

And with the confrontation between the two armies.

Far away in Jicheng, the capital of Tianshui County.

In the governor's house.

Envoys from various Qiang tribes such as Baima and Shaodang also returned one after another.

Reported the truth to the governor Zhang Ji.

"I am reporting to you that I am sending an envoy to Baima Qiang, but unexpectedly, the Shu thieves beat me to it."

"The prince Yang Wanwan, who is responsible for all affairs of the Baima Qiang, has made up his mind to help the Shu army."

"I have not completed the mission entrusted to you by your envoy!"

This made the words come to an end.

Another envoy also raised his hands in a deep voice and said: "I was ordered to send an envoy to Shaodang Qiang, but the Qiang king of this clan is busy putting down the rebellion in the clan."

"There is no time to pay attention to the confrontation between our army and the Shu army."

"I will return in vain!"

The envoys who sent envoys to the two powerful Qiang settlements all returned disappointed.

The expression on Zhang Ji's face was not that good-looking either.

Prince Charming Yang Wanwan has always been on good terms with Ma Chao, but is often his enemy.

Unable to convince, Zhang Ji was already prepared.

However, the Shaodang Qiang turned a blind eye to his side's overtures, but something unexpected happened to him.

"The Shaodang Qiang are so disrespectful to our army."

"It's really abominable!"

For a moment, the subordinate officials standing around Zhang Ji heard the detailed information reported by the envoys, and they could not help but look stern and refuted it.

"Okay, when you return from the long journey, go down and rest first."

Although Zhang Ji felt a little angry at this time that the Qiang people did not express any favor towards him.

But after all, he was not an ordinary person, and he quickly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart.

With calm words, he ordered the envoy to retreat first.

After he left, the governor Zhang thought for a while and then sent people to summon his staff Yang Fu to discuss the matter.

Wait for a while.

There was a slight sound of footsteps.

Wearing a green shirt, Yang Fu, who was more than eight feet tall and had a majestic look on his face, ran into the house and joined hands in salute.

"Your Majesty, is it possible that the envoy who sent the envoy has returned?"

He had long been accustomed to his cunning side, and he could immediately guess the truth of the matter just by looking at it. He was not surprised by this, and nodded solemnly in agreement.

"That's true!"

"The envoys of Baima and Shaodang from the two major Qiang tribes returned without success."

One word settled.

At this time, his expression returned to calm, and as he spoke, he waved his hand to signal him to sit down.

After he sat down at the table, Zhang Ji's face became serious unconsciously, and he said in a deep voice: "Besides this matter, I have already led all the troops to Longsang City to resist the invading Shu thieves."

"However, according to the military reports sent back from the front line in recent days, although the enemy soldiers are relatively small in number, every soldier is an elite soldier with high fighting spirit."

"Although our troops are far smaller than the troops under Fei Yao's command, the traitor general Zhao Tong still secures the defense line and fights with him."

Valley to wait

"In addition, the Baima Qiang also assisted the Shu army, and all tribes responded one after another to guard against the traffic artery from Wangcheng Valley to the Qiang Road in the west."

"So that Fei Yao was unable to take advantage of his large number of troops and sent his troops to the rear to harass and cut off their food routes."

"Looking at the current situation, the Shu army has established a foothold in Longnan and continues to confront our army. If it cannot be driven away quickly, the situation will be unfavorable for our army!"

"Longxi County is not only a strategically important place, located in the corridor connecting Longyou and Hexi, but also a fertile land."

"If we are unable to expel the enemy because of this, spring farming will be greatly affected."

"But I wonder if Yishan has any good ideas for the current plan?"

A few words slowly fell out.

Zhang Ji then looked directly at Yang Fu and asked for advice.

He was also anxious at this time...

He recruited young men and formed an army and sent them to the front line in a steady stream.

But Fei Yao, with his superior military strength, was unable to break through the Shu army's defense line head-on.

How could he not be anxious?

After all, the Qiang Dao Shu army sent troops northward around mid-February.

It's almost mid-March now.

If it is delayed for a while, the spring plowing around Longxi this year will inevitably be affected.

And so far.

How could he not see the Shu army's plan?

A mere few thousand troops and horses dared to march northward to invade the country.

They also built high fortresses in deep ditches on the border to garrison soldiers.

It is obvious that the purpose is to harass them and prevent their own development rhythm which is about to recuperate.
To be continued...
