The setting sun was like blood, dyeing the battlefield where corpses were everywhere even more bloody.

Before sunset, the battle ended completely.

Twenty thousand Xiliang troops were annihilated, the enemy's first Zhang Xiu was beheaded, and the dangerous areas of Jieting City and Maijishan were all criticized by the Qi army.

Once the Jieting is broken, Longshan Avenue is unobstructed, and Yuan Fang's army can enter Liangzhou without any scruples.

When they returned to the camp, all the bloody generals rushed to gather with the fruits of victory.

"King, Maijishan has been captured, but I don't know that Zhang Xiu's servant..."

Ma Chao, who was coming towards him, was about to report the results of the battle, but suddenly realized that his sister was riding with Yuan Fang and was still snuggling in Yuan Fang's arms.

Seeing this a bit of ambiguous step, Ma Chao was immediately stunned and forgot what he wanted to say when he spoke.

"Meng Qi will continue." Yuan Fang shouted boldly and threw Zhang Xiu's head in his hand over.

Ma Chao took it instinctively and looked down. When he recognized Zhang Xiu's head, endless ecstasy suddenly surged on his bloody face.

"Your Majesty, is this Zhang Xiu's head?" Ma Chao asked excitedly.

At this time, when Ma Yunlu saw her brother, she quickly straightened up and did not dare to get too close to Yuan Fang to avoid embarrassment.

Seeing that his brother was so excited, Ma Yunlu hurriedly tried to break through the east, but was stopped by him, stealing hidden weapons and hurting him. How could Yuan Fang arrive in time? Not only did he save her, but he also helped her kill Zhang Xiu, and he told Ma Chao the original way.

Ma Chao was extremely ecstatic when he heard this and couldn't help but bow to Yuan Fang. He said solemnly: "The king saved my younger sister and helped me kill my enemy from the Ma family. The king is really kind to the Ma family, and Chao really doesn't know how to repay it."

Yuan Fang did not regard himself as a benefactor, but only smiled faintly: "Meng Qi is so serious. Since we are the king and the ministers, we are all united and prosperous. The enemy of your Ma family is the enemy of my Yuan Fang, so why should we thank you?"

Hearing Yuan Fang's four words "One Together" Ma Chao was even more grateful, and was deeply grateful for Yuan Fang's trust and attention.

While grateful, Ma Chao remembered what his sister said, Yuan Fang was able to shoot Zhang Xiu down on Ma within ten moves, which not only surprised him even more.

"Zhang Xiu's martial arts are still above Yunlu. Even if I'm not sure, I can shoot it down on a horse within ten moves, but the king did it. Could it be that in just a few months, the king's martial arts have surpassed me? If so, the king's talent will be truly unprecedented..."

Ma Chao was shocked. In addition to being grateful to Yuan Fang, he also had a little respect.

However, Yuan Fang had already rode his horse into the camp. He did not return to the big tent first, and sent Ma Yunlu back to her own military tent.

After turning over and dismounting, Yuan Fang reached out and carefully carried Ma Yunlu off the horse, helped her into the tent and lay down. He personally told the doctor to come to treat her injuries, comforted her a few more words before leaving.

"I used to think that King Qi was just a cold madman, but I didn't expect that he had such a gentle side. This person was really unpredictable..."

Looking at Yuan Fang's leaving figure, Ma Yunlu muttered to herself, and involuntarily, the scene of Yuan Fang saving her on the battlefield just now appeared.

His expression was gradually dazed.

...

When Yuan Fang was back to the big tent, most of the victorious generals had already come to gather and report on the results of the battle.

Yuan Fang nodded slightly, praised the generals and became more energetic.

Finally, Yuan Fang looked at Jia Xu in the corner and smiled and said, "Wenhe, I can quickly break the Mai Jishan and kill Zhang Xiu. You must be the one who is the one who is hiding in the corner. Why don't you come and sit here quickly?"

Jia Xu surrendered to Jieting City, and offered fire to Yuan Fang to attack, helping Yuan Fang break Mai Jishan and kill Zhang Xiu. Yuan Fang praised him as the first contribution, so naturally it was not too much.

Jia Xu smiled humbly and bowed, "The king's words are so serious. Today's victory is because the king uses troops like a god. The soldiers work together to use their lives. Xu just talks and dares not take credit. Wherever he sits, it is actually the same. Xu can also answer the king here."

Jia Xu was extremely modest and pushed all the credits to Yuan Fang and the generals, but he still insisted on staying in the corner.

"This poisonous man, who has made great contributions, is still so low-key and has pushed all his credit to others. He is really good at being a human being and is worthy of being the best self-protection strategist..."

Yuan Fang did not force him, but said, "The Jieting has been broken. The next step is to enter Longxi and quickly destroy Han Sui. Wenhe should be the most familiar with the situation of Longxi's geographical advantage. But what are your opinions?"

Everyone's eyes were gathered on Jia Xu.

Jia Xu couldn't keep a low profile now, so he could only cough a few times, stand up, and come to the map hanging in the tent.

"Han Sui had 30,000 iron cavalry, and then summoned Qiang soldiers, and had about 60,000 cavalry. They are currently stationed in the area of ​​Didao, the capital of Longxi County. The king now breaks Jieting. According to common sense, he should first go south to capture Jicheng, and then advance westward along the Wei River, head straight to Didao, and fight a decisive battle with Han Sui's troops."

Jia Xu gestured his fingers on the map, but the topic suddenly changed.

"But, Han Sui is very cunning and has Chen Gong as a plan. If the king advances head-on, he is likely to be afraid of our army's power, abandon Didao, and flee to Qiang land to avoid our army's edge. The Qiang land is vast and our army cannot pursue it in depth. Once the king's army leaves, Han Sui will enter Longxi again. At that time, the disaster in Liangzhou will arise again, and I don't know when it will be pacified."

Yuan Fangshen agreed and nodded, "It is best for Han Sui to dare to fight with me, but I am afraid that he will not dare."

At this time, Jia Xu smiled mysteriously and stroked his beard and said, "So, Xu has already prepared a plan for the king here."

...

Four days later, Longxi County.

On the desolate ancient road, nearly 40,000 Daqi Iron Cavalry were moving forward with difficulty on this rugged wasteland.

The battle flag with the character "Qi" still flew proudly under the torn wind, leading the knights forward.

Yuan Fang sat on the red rabbit with a crotch, staring at the front of her eyes from afar, looking at the vast road ahead, only Jueyi was on her heroic face.

In this battle, his target was not Jicheng, but directed to Didao City, the capital of Longxi County.

In order to prevent Han Sui from escaping, Yuan Fang decided to adopt Jia Xu's plan and only led 40,000 cavalry to set off. Under Jia Xu's guidance, he walked along an abandoned and desolate ancient road day and night, and rushed straight to Didao City to kill Han Sui off guard.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang was commanding 200,000 infantry under his banner, heading towards Jicheng along the Wei River in a vast manner, in an attitude of being the general to attack Didao from the front.

In this battle, Yuan Fang only brought 40,000 cavalry and no infantry.

This ancient road is difficult to walk. If there are too many infantry, the transportation and supply cannot be kept up, and it will become a burden.

Moreover, Han Sui and the Qiang people were both cavalrymen, and if Yuan Fang had fewer infantry, it would not be useful at all.

This ancient road is rarely visited, and even Guanzhong people like Fa Zheng don’t know the way. Only Liangzhou people like Jia Xu know the way.

There are three hundred miles of ancient roads, and there are no traces of birds along the way. There are only Yuan Fang and his silent cavalry walking forward silently.

The army continued to move forward, and five days later, the road began to become flat.

Early that morning, Yuan Fang stopped at the hillside of Ma and looked up, but he saw that there was a flat and vast Longxi Plain in front of him, all of which came into view.

Jia Xu gasped and raised his whip and said, "Your Majesty, please Bai, go to Didao City, and walk another thirty miles. After passing Baishi Mountain, we will arrive. Should our army take a rest?

"This place is very close to Didao City. I am afraid that it will run into Han Sui's scout soon. The army cannot rest. Keep moving forward and take Didao straight." Yuan Fang said resolutely.

The key to the surprise attack is speed. Now Yuan Fang walked through the desolate ancient road and went through hardships to kill Han Sui off guard. How could he rest at this time?

Jia Xu was just talking, and he knew he shouldn't have to rest, so he stopped persuading him.

After the order of King Yuan Fang passed down, the 40,000 Qi cavalry, after only a brief breath, entered the Longxi Plain and headed towards the Baishi Mountain, which was towering northwest.

During this long-distance raid, Yuan Fang generals Zhang He, Zhao Yun, Wen Chou and Ma Chao were all with four powerful generals who were good at commanding cavalry.

The white horse Yicong, the tiger cavalry, the leopard cavalry, and the Western Liang Lancer cavalry, all the cavalry accompanied them and devoted all the strongest force of the Daqi.

The order was passed down, and the generals and the troops of the headquarters were following Yuan Fang's king's flag and ran all the way.

At dusk, a hill came into Yuan Fang's eyes on the endless fields.

"Your Majesty, Baishi Mountain has arrived." Jia Xu breathed a long sigh and pointed.

After passing Baishi Mountain, Didao City is right in front of you.

When the soldiers of the three armies heard that Didao City had arrived, they were all energetic and excited, and they completely forgot about the fatigue of the long-distance raid.

Yuan Fang rode his horse to Baishi Mountain, opened his eyes to look far away, and looked away from him. Sure enough, he saw a city facing northwest, and a city appeared and loomed under the dim setting sun.

The city walls were densely packed with tents, and Yuan Fang could even see the scene of the Western Liang army and Qiang soldiers drinking and fighting.

There is no doubt that it is Didao City and Han Sui’s nest.

I listened with my ears, and only heard the rapid sound of the gongs vaguely sounded in the direction of Didao City, which was the warning sound of an emergency gathering.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Fangyuan looked at the Tongtong and saw the enemy soldiers in the enemy camp jumping up from the quarrel, and they all panicked up their weapons and ran out.

With such a close distance, Han Sui's scout probably finally discovered that the Qi army was approaching.

But seeing a group of Xiliang Qiang people mixed with cavalry, rushed out of the camp and gathered near Baishi Mountain. Seeing the enemy's hasty situation, it was obvious that they were not prepared.

"Wenhe, it seems that your surprise attack really caught Han Sui off guard."

Yuan Fang raised a solemn sneer at the corner of his mouth.
