Chapter 530: The reckless man’s clever change
When the two suspected soldiers of Zhao Yun and Wu Yi marched along Xiegu and Sanguan Road, Cao Cao did not dare to be careless at this moment. He could only order Xu Huang to go out of Wuguan without stopping to support the Jingzhou war.
He then arranged for the generals to deploy defenses to guard against the two invading Han armies.
As Cao's eyes were focused on the direction of Chencang and Baocheng, unexpectedly, Liu Bei was personally leading most of the main force at full speed towards Qishan Avenue.
…
At this moment, west of Longshan, the war is at its most intense.
Ma Zhong, who was originally struggling to defend the Longxi Army's attack in Lintao, was under great pressure after Ma Chao, Pang De and other old Xiliang troops rushed over.
In addition, Zhao Tong sent people in advance to contact Shenlang, Baima Erqiang, Ni and Yang Wanwan, who all expressed their willingness to send troops to respond.
Although Ma Chao has been away from Liangzhou for many years, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and his great power still gives him a certain appeal in the Liangzhou area.
Some Qiang and Di tribes are looking at White Horse, Shenlang and Qiang who have the intention to raise troops again to help. After seeing Ma Chao's return, they are also ready to take action.
The situation suddenly changed dramatically.
Originally, Fei Yao had the upper hand and used his superior military strength to attack Lintao.
But this time, on the one hand, Ma Chao returned with the Xiliang cavalry and stationed on the flank of Lintao, forming a dichotomy with the city.
If he attacks again and the Xiliang cavalry takes advantage of the situation to cover them up, our side may be in a dilemma.
On the other hand, with the surrounding Qiang, the various tribes are ready to take action, and they have to be on guard!
Fei Yao was worried about the safety of Longxi County, so he could only order some troops from Dai Ling to return to defend Xiangwu and take up positions in order to prevent chaos among the Qiang and Di tribes in the rear.
He continued to lead the masses to confront the Han army in Lintao.
He didn't dare to evacuate hastily. After all, Longxi County was full of flat land, which was extremely suitable for cavalry to gallop. Not to mention Ma Chao's past reputation, once he evacuated, the surrounding Qiang and Di tribes might really want to attack him.
What a turn of events.
However, Ma Chao's troops and Ma Zhong's troops and horses did not have an advantage, so it was unrealistic to launch a large-scale counterattack on Longxi this time.
Various Qiang and Di tribes may still be watching.
Although there was a lot of publicity, there was no actual deployment of troops.
They should be waiting to see if the Han army is serious about attacking Liangzhou counties with all its strength.
Based on this, Ma Chao ordered Ma Zhong to continue to defend the city.
He took his Xiliang cavalry out to camp every day to fight.
But who in Liangzhou doesn’t know Ma Chao’s bravery?
Faced with the challenge from his Xiliang army, Fei Yao naturally closed the gate of the village and avoided the battle.
Also benefiting from the successive challenges faced by Ma Chao and his troops, the military morale of his officers and men has undoubtedly become stronger.
However, the situation in Longxi also temporarily calmed down and fell into a confrontation.
And on the other side is Qishan Fort.
After Zhang Fei and his troops entered Qishan in large numbers, the soldiers who had been fighting for a long time under Zhao Tong were all overjoyed, and after the joy, they all showed a look of fear on their faces.
How many of their comrades fell under Cao Jun’s butcher’s knife?
How can this hatred be easily resolved?
Revenge, revenge!
Day after day, all the soldiers were shouting loudly, showing extremely high morale.
Naturally, this scene could not be hidden from Zhao Tong's eyes, so he quickly and keenly seized the opportunity, and soon went to visit his future father-in-law Zhang Fei, raised his hands and said:
"General, now the officers and men under my command are full of fighting spirit and have a strong desire for revenge."
"The ancients said: The soldiers who mourn will win!"
"The last general thought that he could gather his elite troops to attack on his own initiative, and fought with Cao's army in the field to defeat it."
After saying this, Zhao Tong pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "Although Zhang He's troops still have a large number of troops, the road from Qishan to Mumen Road is narrow and dangerous, and the advantage of having more troops is simply not possible.
Can’t perform well.”
"Our army only needs to send its elite troops to the front line and carry out the entire campaign with courage."
"The so-called brave man wins when we meet on a narrow road, and he will definitely be able to defeat Zhang He."
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Tong spoke loudly, with a strong look of confidence in his tone and eyes.
It was as if in his eyes, this battle was already won before it even started!
Zhang Fei was originally a militant. After hearing these words, he felt that his son-in-law's analysis was quite reasonable, and his expression gradually became more and more approving.
"What the wise son-in-law said is true!"
"This eight-foot-long snake spear of mine hasn't drunk blood for a long time. It's time to stretch my muscles with my old friend again."
After he finished speaking, a strong expression of enthusiasm appeared on his face, and his eyes like copper bells were still staring at Zhao Tong's body, and he said in a deep voice:
"Let me take the lead this time, and I will definitely defeat Cao's army in one fell swoop."
"How can the enemy generals be so rampant?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fei's face showed a proud expression, and he was overjoyed.
"Huh? General, you are the commander of the army, how can you fight in front of us?"
"For the sake of your safety, it is up to you to hold the line this time, and the general will lead the charge to the front from the end!"
After Zhao Tong heard this, he suddenly frowned slightly and responded repeatedly.
After hearing this, Zhang Fei immediately pretended to be displeased, and then his eyes seemed to roll, and suddenly he had an idea. He stood up, walked over, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Xianxiang, how about we go out and compete?
"
"Whoever wins the battle will be the vanguard!"
After finishing speaking, looking at the deep smile on Zhang Fei's face and the gravity coming from his palms gradually pressing down, Zhao Tong quickly begged for mercy with a smile:
"Hey, hey, third general, please let me go. How can this junior's poor martial arts be compared to yours?"
"Why don't you wait for my father to arrive and let him have a fun time competing with you?"
"Hey, you kid, use Zilong to suppress me, right?"
Although it seems that the two are fighting each other, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is actually a reflection of the harmonious relationship between the two.
"You kid, don't argue with me. I'll go forward and kill that old boy Zhang He."
After Zhang Fei made fun of him, he said seriously.
After deciding on the matter, he patted Zhao Tong's arm gently and pretended to be angry, "Why do you kid still keep seeing outsiders?"
"My daughter has been abducted by you, and you still call her a general? Shouldn't you change your story?"
After saying this, Zhang Fei said quite frankly.
"Quick, call your father-in-law to listen."
"Hey, Xingcai and I haven't consummated our marriage yet. Isn't it too early?"
After hearing this, Zhao Tong seemed a little dumbfounded and said with a smile.
"What's the matter? Let's take on the role and rehearse it in advance to avoid being unskilled in the future."
"Scream!"
"father in law!"
"Hey! Isn't this right, hahaha."
As Zhao Tong called out his father-in-law, the whole camp seemed to be filled with Zhang Fei's bold and unbridled laughter.
Chapter completed!
