Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 598

But if you come to Tianshui, the army must pass through Jieting.

This time, if a troop is placed in the street pavilion, it will definitely prevent the army from coming.

As long as you can't fight with the Tianshui army, you can conquer Tianshui within a few days, and this army will be meaningless in the end.

After hearing the military report, Ma Di saw that Zhuge Liang had not spoken for a long time, so he said: "Military advisor, don't worry. If the army comes here, it must pass through the street pavilion. If we send troops to guard it now, we will definitely be able to stop its reinforcements, and our army's worries will be relieved." .”

Zhuge Liang was also taken aback, he didn't expect Ma Di to see this, so he was very happy and asked, "Do you dare to accept this order?"

Zhuge Liang's praise of Ma Di just now made Ma Di feel courageous at this moment, so he said: "Why don't you dare, even if you are a general?"

Zhuge Liang was also very happy. This Ma Su had real talent. If he was sent here this time, he would be right. However, he still asked with a serious face: "Do you know how important this street pavilion is to our army?"

Ma Su said: "The general knows, so the general is willing to issue a military order. If there is any damage to the street pavilion, he will raise his head to see it."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Okay, if Tianshui captures Xiaochang this time, you will take the lead."

Ma Su was also very happy, so he led ten thousand people from Zhuge Liang to guard the street pavilion.

Although Zhuge Liang said he was relieved of Ma Di, he couldn't help but settle Ma Di a few words and let him camp at the water source of Jieting to stop the enemy.

Ma Su also fully agreed.

He also felt that Wang Ping was cautious, so he appointed him as Ma Di's deputy general to assist him in guarding the street pavilion.

The two led the troops to Jieting, and when they arrived at Jieting, Ma Di was overjoyed to see the terrain.

"The mountain here is high and steep. If you live on the top, you can look down on it. The momentum is like a broken bamboo. The Yuan army will definitely lose." Ma Su said to Wang Ping with a smile.

Wang Ping was also shocked when he heard this and said: "Absolutely not. When the military advisor comes out, he will set up camp near the mountains and rivers. There is no water source in this mountain. If Yuan Jun cuts off the water source, it will be a dead end for him to stay in the mountains and defend."

Ma Di smiled disdainfully: "Deputy General Wang doesn't know how to use troops anymore. The so-called death and survival, our army's morale is like a rainbow, how can Yuan Jun be against?"

Wang Ping couldn't defeat Ma Su, but he still felt something was wrong: "The military adviser has already said that it is enough to guard the street pavilion to prevent Yuan Jun from coming, so why take the risk to repel Yuan Jun."

When Ma Di heard Wang Ping talk about the military division, he avoided the military division and used Zhuge Liang to suppress him, but he was not convinced: "The military division also praised me for my outstanding resourcefulness. The so-called general is outside, and the military order is not accepted. Since I have arrived at Jieting, the military division is in such a good position." How would you know that with such a favorable location, you can repel Yuan Jun, which is even greater military merit. Vice-General Wang came out with me, and it is a great credit for letting you do it in vain."

Wang Ping was still unconvinced and said: "The military advisor said..."

"Don't be in front of the military division. The military division is short. This time I will be the general and you will be the deputy general. If I lose a big defeat, I will accept the punishment completely and I will never implicate you. Why do you use the military division to suppress me everywhere?" Ma Di was also angry. road.

Wang Ping felt that Ma Su was a little angry at this moment, but it was too risky to defend the mountain. Wang Ping still couldn't agree, so he said to Ma Su: "If you have to join the army and garrison on the mountain, let me lead a thousand people to guard the county. At that time, you can also join the army.”

When Ma Su heard about it, he agreed, and now he sees Wang Ping as extremely unpleasant, so it's good to separate here, out of sight and out of mind.

Then he led his army to garrison on the mountain to wait for Yuan Jun.

When Zhang Yun led the army, his morale was high all the way. From the north of the Yellow River, he captured Chenliu, Luoyang, and Chang'an all the way.

It was also Cao Cao who took all the generals away at that time, making the city guards of these cities all ordinary people, and some small county towns immediately surrendered when they saw Zhang Xi coming.

As a result, Zhang He also regained Sili County at an extremely fast speed and took over all of Cao Cao's previous territory.

When Chang'an was just captured, it was received that Yuan Tan was resisting the Shu army in Tianshui. It was extremely difficult to think about it now.

Zhang He hurriedly led his troops to support.

At this moment, we are about to reach the street pavilion. From a distance, the terrain of this street pavilion is extremely perfect. If we hold it here, it will be difficult to capture it in less than ten days.

However, if it were to be delayed for more than ten days, Tianshui might be captured by the Shu army.

Just when Zhang Yun was full of entanglements, he received a spy report, but the Shu army was stationed on the mountain.

Zhang He was afraid that he had heard wrongly. After waiting for Tan Ma to report again, Zhang He said with a smile: "God bless me, there are such stupid people in the Shu army. If we are stationed at the water source at this moment, we will be in the same position." Our army is entangled, I am afraid that I will have a headache for a long time, now I am indeed guarding the mountain, this is not asking for death."

After all, he ordered the army to surround the mountain, cut off the water source, and send heavy troops to garrison, in order to trap Ma Di to death.

Ma Di heard on the mountain that Yuan Jun had really cut off his water source and guarded his foot.

Ma Su was immediately stunned. Wasn't this going to make them thirsty to death?
If the army can live without food for a day, how can it be without water for a day.

In a panic, he could only order a surprise attack, wanting to tear the encirclement open and rush down the mountain.

But Zhang He didn't need anyone, and he was leading Yuan's army who had experienced hundreds of battles. He turned a blind eye to Ma Su's several breakthroughs and defeated them a second time.

Ma Su is also miserable.

Seeing that his men and horses were getting fewer and fewer, he was about to die, but who knew that Wang Ping arrived at this moment.

Wang Ping rushed over with his men, opened a gap with Ma Di's internal and external attacks, and took Ma Di's people back, and set up ambushes on the way to escape.

These people all beat drums and fou, creating the appearance of a large army coming.

Seeing this, Zhang He didn't dare to continue to pursue rashly, so he hastily ended his retreat.

After the troops are organized, they will take down the street pavilion and continue to rush to Tianshui City to help.

It was Zhuge Liang who commanded the former army to attack Tianshui in the big tent, and received good news.

It is said that Zhang Fei is about to reach Tianshui City with a large army. If he persists for a few more days, he can wait for Tianshui City.

Zhuge Liang also felt very good about the situation at hand.

But at this time, the news of Jieting's loss came, and Zhuge Liang's eyes were also darkened: "Why, why, this seems to be a success."

Ma Su and Wang Ping also entered the tent in a state of embarrassment, and fell to their knees as soon as they entered.

Zhuge Liang glared at Ma Su and said, "Why did Jieting fail so quickly? Give me a reason."

Ma Di didn't know what to say at the moment, but Wang Ping had to tell the truth so that Zhuge Liang could plan for the next situation.

But once the street pavilion was lost, the meaning of attacking had already been lost. When the army reached Tianshui, it was time for the Yuan family to counterattack.

Now that the opportunity has been lost, in order to preserve the military strength of Shu, they can only retreat.

Zhuge Liang was full of anger, and there was a little bit of reluctance in his eyes: "Ma Di violated the military order, dragged him out and beheaded him to show the public, in order to uphold the military law."
