The Han army destroyed the Western Qiang Kingdom and took a short rest in Linqiang.

Then, under the leadership of the general Zhao Tong, thousands of fine cavalry once again embarked on the road to the west.

Along the way, Zhao led the knights to fight along the border of Jincheng towards Wuwei County.

If there are any resisting Cao troops or Qiang and Di tribes that block them, they will be destroyed easily!

Although You Chu, the prefect of Jincheng, also heard about the movements of the Han army, he had no choice but to allow the enemy cavalry to move freely within the territory.

When the county official saw that his county governor was indifferent, he couldn't help but look suspicious and asked: "Your Majesty, why is this?"

"The enemy's cavalry passed all the way along our border. Why do you pretend not to know?"

As soon as he finished speaking, You Chu shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Hey, why don't I want to defeat Shu Qi?"

"But do you know who is personally leading the attack on Jingqi this time?"

"who?"

The county official asked with a confused look on his face.

"Zhao Tong!"

You Chu said with a serious face, "Previously, our agents had just led the enemy's cavalry along the river pass on the border of Longxi County for nearly a thousand miles, and non-stop attacked Linqiang, the capital of the Western Qiang Kingdom."

"The enemy army took advantage of the fact that the Xiqiang had no reaction and killed Cheliji, the leader of the Xiqiang kingdom, wiped out all the Xiqiang soldiers, and took Linqiang as their own!"

"Shu General Zhao Tong personally came to kill him with his elite cavalry. How can we stop him with only our mere military strength?"

After these words fell, all the county officials in the hall nodded unconsciously.

What my governor said is true!

Jincheng is a large county in Liangzhou, and its terrain is also quite important.

Therefore, there are about two thousand soldiers in the county.

But even though they have a large number of people, they are not that far behind in terms of combat power.

Who is Zhao Tong?

That was Qiang Road, which was ordered to go north and garrisoned in the northwest of Wudu County several years ago. Then he led a large number of bandits to attack Longxi and defeated many with few, causing the defender Fei Yao and other generals to suffer defeat frequently.

After receiving the help of a large number of reinforcements in the previous campaign, he defeated Zhang He on the Qishan Road, and then personally led the Battle of Longxi.

In just one month, the entire territory of Longxi was conquered.

Such a Shu general with great military exploits and awe in Liangzhou now has a group of tiger and wolf knights under his command. How can he compete with a group of county soldiers who usually manage public security in various places?

"Your Majesty's worries are not unreasonable. This enemy cavalry can actually travel thousands of miles and destroy the Western Qiang Kingdom in one go. How amazing is their combat power and willpower?"

"It's true that the official took it for granted."

When they heard about the leader of the army and the heroic feat of annihilating the Western Qiang that had just been completed recently, the county officials were undoubtedly shocked. Their expressions suddenly became extremely solemn and they responded with their hands.

"However, it is said that this Shu cavalry seems to have been marching along the border, and the target should be Wuwei County. They encountered our garrison or small Qiang and Di tribes along the way to stop them, and they were directly wiped out by the Shu army."

"I have to find a way to deal with the enemy's cavalry. I can't let the enemy's troops cross our territory wantonly? If not, when the King of Wei pursues it in the future, it may be detrimental to the official career of the prince?"

Following the suggestion from another county official under his command, You Chu pondered for a moment and said, "What you said is good. We must restrict the Shu army, otherwise the traitor Zhao Tong will become extremely rampant!"

"How to deal with the enemy?"

After he finished speaking, he held his chin in his hands and pondered for a long time. There seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, and he had an idea. He said with a smile: "Yes!"

"Hmm? What's the best plan, Mr. Fu?"

Seeing the joyful expression on the face of his own county governor, all the county officials also expressed joy and asked questions.

"Although Tong Zhao's troops are all elite cavalry, our county's soldiers alone are unable to compete."

"But there is a saying in the art of war: The shape of a soldier is like water. The shape of water avoids heights and goes down. The shape of soldiers avoids reality and attacks the weak. Water controls the flow according to the ground, and soldiers win according to the enemy. Therefore, soldiers have no constant momentum.

Water has no permanent shape.”

"Now most of the land in Jincheng County is still under our control, but Shuqi has gone deep into the west to invade Wuwei and other places. If we can attack Linqiang City, what will the situation be like?"

After saying these eloquent words, after thinking for a moment, all the officials seemed to have their eyes shining brightly, and then they started discussing it one after another.

"This is a good plan for you, Mr. Fu!"

"Yes, currently both Jincheng and Wuwei are under our control."

"As long as we hold on, avoid the real situation and conquer Linqiang behind the enemy lines, we can make Zhao Tong's troops self-defeating without attacking."

"This strategy is really wonderful!"

After a few words, everyone laughed and commented.

But after thinking for a while, the county official seemed to realize something again, so he raised his hands and asked:

"Master Fu, I heard that Zhao Tong is cautious in nature and is quite like his father Zhao Zilong. If he had made preparations before leaving and left a force to defend Linqiang, how would we have broken through the city?"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like soul torture, which immediately stumped everyone present.

All the officials were in trouble again as promised, and all looked at their own eunuchs.

When You Chu saw this, his expression was still very relaxed, and he responded with a smile: "Everyone, please be patient. It is naturally not easy for us to defeat Linqiang with our own strength."

"But we can seek foreign help!"

"foreign aid?"

"That's right."

After that, You Chu explained in a deep voice: "Although the Western Qiang King Cheliji is dead, there are many tribes in the Western Qiang Kingdom and its territory is vast."

"Tong Zhao will definitely not be able to wipe out the Western Qiang tribes in a short period of time."

"We can send people to the camps of the various tribes of the Western Qiang to incite them to rebel and harass the surrounding Linqiang in the name of revenge for the Western Qiang King Cheliji."

"Even if we can't break the city, we can still cut off the connection between Linqiang and Zhao Tong's troops, cut off their rear, and turn them into a lonely army."

After saying these words, all the county officials couldn't help but smile.

"Master Shengming!"

"If this is the case, the Shu army will collapse."

After planning this matter, You Chu not only sent people secretly to incite the tribes of Xiqiang who were unwilling to surrender, but also ordered people to go to Guanlong's rear to request reinforcements.

…

After all these incidents were arranged, the Han army, which was rushing along the border, also galloped into the territory of Wuwei.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, the officials of Wuwei County did not expect the sudden attack of the Han cavalry!

All the county officials were almost defenseless.

Zhao commanded his troops to attack several cities and supply them with ease.

Then he led a large number of fine cavalry and approached the city of Zhigu Zang in Wuwei County.

The situation was critical, and the prefect of Wuwei had no time to go to the rear to request reinforcements. In panic, the county officials suddenly came up with this plan and suggested:

"Master Fu, if the matter is urgent, why not quickly send someone to Xiutu to ask for help from the barbarians?"

"What a thief?"

After hearing this, the prefect of Wuwei muttered for a while, then flatly refused: "No! The thief is a jackal, greedy!"

"If we ask them to come to help, even if we can retreat the Shu army, it may be the same as inviting a wolf into the house."

"I'm afraid it will be easy to invite the gods, but difficult to send them off!"

"Master Fu, now a disaster is imminent, don't hesitate!"
