Chapter 407 Gathering in Liangzhou

[Updated in advance tomorrow morning, operation error!]

Outside Xiangyang City, the sound of the shocking drums roared endlessly. A team of soldiers and horses gathered outside the city, and Xiangyang City, which had been silent for three months, boiled again.

In Zhang Fei's barracks, Chen was holding a letter with an extremely gloomy face: "The lord asked us to go out with the army anyway, but now we haven't received the order to go on the expedition. I'm afraid this time it's going to disappoint the lord."

Originally, I wanted to build more meritorious deeds. When I had troops in my hand, I could help the master, but when I arrived in Xiangyang, I knew that the task of the two was really simple, and it was even more difficult to build meritorious deeds.

With the army, both of them are confident that they can make achievements in a short time, but now it seems that Liu Qi obviously has no intention of using them.

"I've already said that Liu Qi looks like a talented person, but in fact, he is just a sanctimonable person." Zhang Fei snorted coldly. At this time, he was not as tough as before.

Chen came to take a look at Zhang Fei and shook his head secretly in his heart. Even Zhang Fei was not as fierce as before. When he first came to Xiangyang, this fly also scolded Liu Qi, but when the board came down, he breathed more and breathed less.

What's more, he is not the only one who is punished for making a mistake, and even more than ten people who come with them will be punished. Even Chen came to himself, and he was beaten by a board.

After a few days, Zhang Fei did not dare to scold Liu Qi blatantly.

"I'd better go to the gate to have a look. Maybe there is still a chance." Chen hesitated for a moment.

"Hmm, what's the chance?" Zhang Fei snorted coldly, but still followed Chen to go out.

In Liu Qi's house, the guard in black had already reported Liu Bei's behavior to Liu Qi, and even said everything in Liu Bei's letter clearly.

"It doesn't matter. Just write it down first." Liu Qi waved his hand and said carelessly. Since Liu Bei came to Jingzhou, Liu Qi easily let him go, but he would also not touch him easily. Over time, Liu Bei's thoughts will naturally come out.

"It's time for the Lord to go on an expedition." Xu Shu smiled as if he didn't hear it.

"Well, let's go." Liu Qi nodded and got up to the door.

In a moment, Liu Qi came outside the gate. More than a dozen generals had been waiting near the gate for a long time. Seeing Liu Qi coming out, he was shining one by one. As Jingzhou became more and more powerful, there were naturally more and more generals.

These generals were all the generals who were selected to fight with the army this time, and they were very excited.

"See the Lord." More than a dozen people bowed.

"Well, are you ready?" Liu Qi nodded and asked.

"My lord, the army has been assembled and ready to go out at any time." Zhang Qiang stepped forward and shouted loudly.

"After the assembly of the Flying Tiger Army, please order it." Wang Wei, who was next to Zhang Kuang, also stood up and said.

There were nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses on this expedition to Liangzhou. The Flying Dragon Guard and the Flying Tiger Guard were all dispatched. Even the Flying Tiger Army was also dispatched. The Flying Tiger soldiers who had not left Xiangyang for several years, and their fighting spirit stood turbulently. Even Wang Wei was slightly excited at this time.

"Depart!" Liu Qi gave the order.

"No." More than a dozen people bowed and left one after another and returned to the soldiers and horses under their command.

"Depart!"

With the loud military order, the dull drums sounded again, resounding through the sky, and tens of thousands of troops turned around and left one after another, like a long dragon.

At the same time, Changlong, composed of carriages in Wancheng, was thinking about slowly leaving Liangzhou. There was high grain and grass piled up on the carriage. Jiang Wan, the governor of Hanzhong, was responsible for all the grain and grass of the army this time.

Yongzhou

Twenty thousand tigers and leopards rode back from Jizhou, and the speed was extremely fast all the way. Twenty thousand tiger and leopard horses are only used for fighting, but there are nearly 10,000 war horses that transport grain and fodder. The cavalry's grain and fodder are all carried with him. If Cao Cao could not free up too many war horses at this time, I'm afraid that each person would be equipped with a war horse to transport grain and grass.

"The general will arrive in Liangzhou soon."

"Speed up and try to get to Liangzhou tonight, and order Liangzhou Han Sui to prepare a camp for the army." Cao Hong, who was on the horse's back, did not stay at all and said in a low voice.

"No."

Half an hour later, when the army arrived at Zu Li, the officials in the city had already prepared water and food for the army, and a simple camp was also built outside the city.

"General, Lord Du is spy."

"Hmm." Cao Hong took over the spy message sent by Du Xi when he didn't have time to rest.

"Jingzhou?" Cao Hong snorted coldly. Jingzhou actually dared to intervene. Just a day ago, the Jingzhou army had arrived in Wudu County. At this time, it should have also entered Liangzhou.

"I know. Go back and tell General Du that the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou can't get close to Wuwei." Looking at the spy, Cao Hong looked up and said.

"No."

In a short time, hundreds of tiger and leopard knights scattered to inquire about the situation of Jingzhou soldiers and horses.

Liangzhou has an open terrain, and the cavalry has an absolute advantage. Cao Hong is not afraid of any conspiracy in Jingzhou at all.

Yongjing County

Five thousand soldiers and horses in Jingzhou have just been stationed again.

"General, Cao Bing has arrived in Zuli County." In the future, Zhang Jie received a report from the scout when he had time to set up a camp. The whereabouts of the tiger and leopard riding along the way were under the supervision of Jinyiwei, so the tiger and leopard riding were immediately found as soon as they arrived in Liangzhou.

"It's so fast." Zhang Jaw was shocked that the power of the tiger and leopard riding in Liangzhou could be maximized, and the 50,000 soldiers and horses under his command could only resist the tiger and leopard riding for a few hours.

However, a few hours later, it is estimated that there will not be much left of the 50,000 soldiers under his command. As for the 20,000 Flying Tiger Army, which is still stationed in Wudu County at this time, these 20,000 soldiers and horses will never intervene in advance if they have to.

"Order the soldiers and horses in the city to strengthen the city. In addition, Zhao Yun and Wang Yi were ordered to wait for the opportunity not to fight with Cao Hong for the time being." Zhang Kui thought for a moment.

Flying Dragon Guard and Flying Tiger Guard are his biggest support. It would be bad to let the tiger and leopard ride and catch it.

"I hope Ma Teng won't play any tricks." Zhang Jaw's eyes narrowed, and with Ma Teng's 3,000 cavalry, the cavalry under his command was also 10,000. Although the troops were relatively scattered, even in this way, the tiger and leopard could not do whatever he wanted.

...............................................................

Xuanwei City

"General, my Jingzhou army has rushed to Liangzhou. I don't know when the horses mentioned by the general will be delivered?" As soon as he received the news, he came to Ma Teng's house.

"The messenger can rest assured that tomorrow I will try my best to attack Wuwei City, and the horses will also be delivered within three days." Ma Teng arched his hand.

Hearing Ma Teng's words, Fa Zheng knew that Ma Teng must be lucky. If he could capture Wuwei County one day, he naturally did not need the assistance of Jingzhou soldiers and horses, and naturally the 30,000 war horses promised would not be mentioned.

Fa Zheng smiled secretly in his heart, but there was no irritation on his face: "In this case, let's help the general win. Our Jingzhou army has arrived in Liangzhou, and I also want to rush back to the battalion to preside over military affairs. This is to say goodbye to the general."

"Oh, the messenger is leaving so soon?" Ma Teng said in surprise.

"Ha ha, this expedition of the army is me as a military division." Fa Zheng smiled.

"So it is." Ma Teng suddenly found that this method was actually the military division of the Jingzhou Army.

After Fa Zheng left, Ma Teng snorted coldly: "I really think I'm a fool. A milky child actually wants to wait for the price?"

"Father, will this be self-defeating?" Ma Chao, who was beside him, said hesitantly. He wanted to open his mouth just now, but because Fa was here, he didn't say anything.

"Don't worry. Since the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou have arrived in Liangzhou, Cao Cao will definitely have a lot of scruples. After we defeat Han Sui, we don't have to look at the faces of the two families." Ma Teng shook his head and said that Liangzhou was his world. Neither Cao Cao nor Liu Qi was allowed to intervene.

...........................................................................

"Haha, thank you for the messenger this time. Even if the 20,000 tigers and leopards come out of Jingzhou, they will definitely come back." Han Sui immediately laughed when he received the news that the tiger and leopard rode to Liangzhou.

"This is the Lord's order." Du Xi said with a smile.

"Haha, I know the meaning of the messenger. I will order my eldest son to go to Xudu." Han Sui nodded and said that even if there was no Jingzhou's intervention, it was quite troublesome to deal with Ma Teng. If he didn't accept the promise, the tiger and leopard could leave at any time.

"General Han is indeed a believer. General, please rest assured that as long as the general is attached to the master, your husband will be safe and sound in Xudu. This time I will ask the lord to seek an official position for you." Du attacked and arched his hand.

"Thank you, messenger." Han Sui arched his hand. No matter how he could have an official position, it was much more convenient to act in Xudu.

........................................................................

"Yongjing County?" Cao Hong was slightly depressed when he received the news from the scouts. Yongjing County was close to Wudu County, and the Jingzhou army could leave Liangzhou at any time.

"Well, I'd like to see what you'll do." Cao Hong's eyes were fierce and ordered, "The army can set out and station in Lingju County!"

Lingju County is located in the northwest of Jincheng County, which is also the only way to Wuwei. If the Jingzhou army wants to support Mateng, it must pass through Lingju County. There are no other cities within a hundred miles of Lingju County. A wilderness is extremely conducive to cavalry fighting. If the Jingzhou army appears near Lingju County, he does not mind teaching Jingzhou a lesson.

The last time his two brothers, Cao Ren and Cao Chun, suffered a big loss in Jingzhou. If they don't hit Jingzhou's soldiers and horses hard, how can they dispel his hatred?

What's more, Jingzhou is the enemy of Cao Cao everywhere, which has long been Cao Cao's great trouble. Everyone under Cao Cao's command is always thinking about how to suppress Jingzhou. This time, there is a chance, and he naturally wants to have a try.

20,000 tigers and leopards, even if there are 50,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, there is nothing to be afraid of. As for the flying dragon guard and the flying tiger guard, he doesn't pay attention to it. It is difficult for less than 3,000 cavalry to exert the impact of cavalry.

Twenty thousand tiger and leopard riders only stayed in Zu Li for an hour and set off again for Lingju County. This time, the speed of the tiger and leopard riding has obviously slowed down, and the scouts distributed around have become more and more.
