Geng Bin originally thought that Jiang Tuo's ability to deceive the gatekeeper was already a great achievement. If someone doesn't pay attention and is recognized by the gatekeeper, it will be over.
Even if Lu Qing is good at fighting, he can fight ten of them, but can he defeat thousands of defenders? Just one person and one move would tire Lu Qing out.
I really don’t know why Jiang Tuo has to take risks at such a young age?
Hey, young man, he has no hair on his lips and cannot do his job well.
Geng Bin thought about it, time passed bit by bit, and he began to become anxious. Although he had just defected to Jiang Tuo, he also wanted to accomplish big things, but now that Jiang Tuo has gone and never come back, he is really I don’t know what the situation is like in the city.
"How about sending someone to investigate?" the soldiers on the left and right reminded.
Geng Bin shook his head: "We can't alert the enemy. Let's just wait and see what happens. Didn't Mr. Jiang just say that? If we encounter danger, he will send us a signal."
"But what if Mr. Jiang is too late to send the signal?"
Geng Bin was stunned for a moment, and then thought about the possibility of encountering danger.
"No, no matter what, Mr. Jiang has been the county magistrate for several years. Although he likes to talk nonsense and is not very reliable, he still has confidence in such important matters."
After another half hour, the soldiers brought out by Jiang Tuo could no longer bear it. After discussion, they wanted to disguise themselves as ordinary people and go to the city to personally investigate the situation.
Geng Bin stood up and scolded sternly: "You are the only ones who still want to pretend to be common people? You are doing this because you want Mr. Jiang to die in the city! Follow my orders, stay put and do not make any moves!"
"Geng Bin, are you doing this on purpose?" A soldier from Qingshui County scolded him in a cold voice: "My lord has been in the city for two hours and there is no news. This means that your lord is in trouble. I can't hurry up." Break through the city gate and rescue the Lord?"
"Your Majesty has been very kind to us. If we continue to delay like this, our lives will be in danger!"
"Yes, there are only a thousand soldiers in the scattered gate. As long as we fight hard and charge hard, we can break through the city gate and rescue the master in less than two hours!"
"Nonsense!"
Seeing the heated scene, Geng Bin angrily yelled at the soldiers: "My lord made it very clear when he left, asking you to be on standby! Do you understand what standby means? Do you know what it means?"
"If you stay on standby any longer, your bones will become cold!"
The soldiers who came from Qingshui County did not take Geng Bin seriously at all, especially Jiang Tuo's personal soldiers. They pulled out their swords and said viciously: "Get out of the way, otherwise, do you want to test whether my sword is sharp? "
"My sword is not bad at all!" Geng Bin drew out the sword from his waist and faced off against the angry crowd.
"I said...you all calm down."
Looking at the tense two sides, the Qiang leader shrank his neck and warned in a low voice.
"How do you have the right to speak here? If you are not of my race, your mind must be different! Maybe it is someone like you who secretly reported the news to the Wei army, so my identity was exposed!"
"Yes, that's the truth!"
Seeing the whole army looking at him with eager eyes, the leader of the Qiang tribe shivered in fear, then shrank his neck, pointed down and said: "Look, my lord has led the scattered garrison out!"
"ah?"
"What?"
Everyone quickly looked towards the city gate and saw Jiang Tuo walking at the front. Behind him, the Sanguan garrison lined up in four rows and was marching westward in an orderly manner.
Seeing this scene, the hairs all over Geng Bin's body exploded!
Sir, you are too awesome. I thought it would be good if he could deceive the gatekeeper. Who would have thought that he would lead the scattered gatekeepers out in a big way. Isn't this a food delivery to your door?
"Order, two hundred soldiers quickly control Sanguan. The other officers and soldiers will join me in setting up defenses in the front. We must annihilate all the defenders and not let anyone escape!"
"Yes!" In front of the enemy, these soldiers quickly unified their opinions.
So after Jiang Tuo led the Wei army far away, two hundred soldiers rushed towards Sanguan like a strong wind. The only three melons and two dates left in Sanguan posed no threat at all, and they completely controlled Sanguan with almost no effort. .
As for Geng Bin, he led his soldiers to ambush on both sides of the mountain road.
I saw Jiang Tuo riding a horse and walking side by side with the commander-in-chief. The two were having a lively chat. The commander-in-chief was smiling and was asking Jiang Tuo about the right general's preferences.
Jiang Tuo couldn't speak clearly, which made him get closer, but he felt something sharp behind him, which made his whole body tremble.
"Don't move, or you will die!"
A cold voice came from Jiang Tuo's mouth, making him pause. Then he looked at Jiang Tuo in disbelief, and saw Jiang Tuo's guard holding a long sword against his back.
Jiang Tuo waved his hand, and countless soldiers poured out from both sides of the mountain road, surrounding them.
These soldiers were armed with powerful crossbows and surrounded them!
These soldiers who had dispersed from the customs were walking in formation on the road, and some were singing songs, preparing to support the right general Zhang He.
But unexpectedly, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared, with swords and guns raised, and surrounded them.
When these Wei soldiers were surprised, they suddenly became riotous, but they were completely unprepared. Even if they wanted to escape, how could their escape speed be better than that of a strong crossbow?
What's more, other people's military strength far exceeds one's own.
As soon as some of the resisting Wei troops made a move, Geng Bin gave an order, and a shower of crossbow arrows hit them like a hornet's nest.
The commander-in-chief and the remaining soldiers were shocked!
"If you don't want to die, put down your weapon, otherwise, these crossbows don't have eyes!"
"I surrender, I surrender!"
"We surrender!"
"And you?"
Jiang Tuo asked with a smile.
The commander-in-chief turned pale and swallowed. He never expected that before he led his army halfway, the middle road collapsed. Now I am a fish and a man, and I have no ability to resist.
Then he lowered his head and begged for mercy in a low voice: "We surrender, please spare our lives."
The Qiansanguan garrison immediately became prisoners. After being stripped of their armor, they were tied with ropes and taken back to Sanguan.
After that, Jiang Tuo's troops also stationed at Sanguan and completely occupied the pass. However, from the outside, this pass was the same as before, deserted and deserted every day.
"As long as you are obedient, I won't make things difficult for you!"
Jiang Tuo smiled and warned the commander-in-chief.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang and Zhang He started the ultimate battle.
As a general of Wei State, Cao Zhen should have appeared on the battlefield. However, in order to prevent Zhao Yun from attacking Guanzhong, he led his army to garrison in Yi County to prevent any unexpected events.
Therefore, in the Yongliang area at this time, only the Shu army led by Zhuge Liang and the Wei army led by Zhang He were fighting against each other.
Throughout the Yongliang area, fighting continued.
From the beginning of the battle, Zhang He occupied Jicheng and cut off the Shu army's food route. He thought that there was no suspense in the battle, so he led his army out in full force, and the Guangwei army and Longxi County responded.
The war started smoothly indeed, with Zhang He's troops winning consecutive battles and regaining lost ground. The Shu army obviously lacked fighting spirit and retreated while fighting, and had even been squeezed into a small space.
Just when Zhang He thought the war was over, he did not expect that he violated a military taboo. On the one hand, he wanted to encircle the Shu army, and on the other hand, he had to send people to garrison the regained lost territory.
The soldiers under his command were stretched to their limits.
As a result, the troops were scattered. During the attack on Anding, they were attacked by the Shu army once, which almost caused a disaster. Fortunately, the Shu army did not pursue them, otherwise they would have lost a partial army.
This also alerted him to the fact that the Shu army still had the strength to fight back despite being depleted of men and horses.
From then on, according to Zhang He's idea, he kept dragging the Shu army and had small-scale conflicts. There was no need for a full-scale battle at all. As long as the Shu army can be defeated, victory will definitely belong to Wei.
However, small-scale battles are not easy. He faced off against Zhuge Liang, winning and losing, and even won a little more. However, the Shu army was backed by the three counties of Tianshui, Anding, and Nan'an, and its territory actually expanded a lot.
There seems to be a revival.
This frightened Zhang He. What's going on? The food routes of the Shu army are all cut off. The soldiers have no food to eat. Why do they still have the strength to fight?
Is it possible that the Shu army could fill their stomachs by drinking cold water and eating the northwest wind?
Zhang He did not believe in evil, and thought in his heart, as long as it was delayed for three more days, and another three days, the Shu army would be out of food and would collapse without a fight!
Three days and three days, three days and three days, it has been more than ten days. Why is the spirit of the Shu army still so good?
This is unreasonable!
On the other hand, the Wei army at home was very exhausted after successive battles. After Zhang He noticed the eyes of the soldiers looking at him, he knew that he had to win once. With just one victory, he could completely defeat the Shu army.
Zhang He was originally cautious in using his troops, but during these days, he was unknowingly aroused by the Shu army!
He couldn't help but regret in his heart. If he could not stand out from the street pavilion and waited until Cao Zhen's army arrived and the two armies merged, even if Zhuge Liang had extraordinary abilities, he might not be able to make any waves.
But it's too late to say this now!
He stood up, summoned the generals from various ministries, and immediately began to deploy. He wanted to concentrate his superior forces and use an unstoppable attitude to win a great victory and completely destroy the illusion of Shu!
At this time, the Shu army camp had all been mobilized.
Although with the support of Qingshui County, the Shu army no longer has to worry about food and grass, it still needs to recruit civilians to transport supplies, build fortifications, and build various weapons.
Fortunately, a person’s name is like the shadow of a tree.
Zhuge Liang's reputation was very resounding, and the people of the three counties responded one after another, almost unleashing their full potential, like a running war machine, and everyone was preparing for war.
Craftsmen made instruments, officials appeased the people, and merchants continued to deliver supplies. In such a short period of time, allowing these people to perform their respective duties is inseparable from Zhuge Liang's command.
Zhuge Liang's internal affairs ability can be said to be unique.
And he also showed an internal affairs talent that was comparable to Xiao He. Whether it was swords, guns, armor, or food and grass, he could always mobilize them accurately, so that the soldiers fighting on the front line had no worries.
Zhuge Liang focused on domestic affairs with one hand and military affairs with the other.
It is simply a condensed version of Xiao He and Han Xin.
He was not afraid that Wei would send troops, but he was afraid that Wei would shrink inside the city and refuse to fight. As long as the Wei State sends troops and attacks, there will be flaws. As long as the flaws can be seized, the Wei army can be quickly defeated.
Originally, Zhuge Liang didn't have to worry about food and grass, so it was very easy to defeat Zhang He.
However, he had a bigger plan, so he deliberately lost a few battles, creating a 50-50 situation.
This made Zhang He mistakenly believe that my military ability is on par with Zhuge Liang's. As long as I work harder, I can defeat Zhuge Liang.
