Chapter 1643 Jiang Wei!Jiang Boyue!

"Zhang Bao, our army in Longxi is short of food, why not send five thousand troops to escort the food back to Longxi."

"What's the hurry?"

Zhang Bao glanced at Guan Xing, "We brought out a total of 5000 people. 5000 people are too many, it's not appropriate."

"Then send 3000 people to escort?" Guan Xing tried to ask again.

Zhang Bao shook his head after thinking for a moment.

"We are short of troops now. I heard that Cao Xiong is leading no less than 10 people out of Chang'an and heading west to Yongliang."

"If we want to fight this battle well, no one is missing."

Guan Xing wanted to say something else, but Zhang Bao walked forward on his own.

Guan Xing hesitated for a while, but decided to write a letter to Zhuge Liang and send someone to send it on a fast horse.

On the road in Xiliang, a group of fast horses in strong clothes galloped towards Tianshui.

This group of people was sent by Guan Xing to deliver the letter.

Because Cao Jun was short of soldiers and food, they chose to walk on the main road.

This road is stable and far away, so they all thought that Cao Jun would not appear on this road.

With a "swish", an arrow shot out from the forest beside the road.

Immediately afterwards, a dense rain of arrows shot out.

The team running on the main road was shot immediately, and nearly half of them were shot out.

"There is an ambush, there is an ambush!"

Those who escaped shouted.

Immediately, a group of people sprang out from the mountain, and Ma Yunlu led a group of people to the road.

"Hurry up and chase! Don't let any one go, catch them all!"

Ma Yunlu yelled at the fleeing people.

The people around her immediately separated into a group and chased after her.

Ma Yunlu held the horse's chew, looked at the wounded soldiers who were shot down on the ground, "Take them all back."

In Tianshui City, Zhuge Liang is currently planning a plan to encircle the city of Ji.

The sky has already fallen, and there are still three thousand Cao troops in the small city of Jicheng, but Zhuge Liang is not in a hurry to send troops to take the small city.

Because, in this city, there is a person who is very important to him.

Jiang Wei, Jiang Boyue!

At the beginning, Zhuge Liang's trap to kill Jiang Yiqu tricked Jiang Wei out, and took the opportunity to seize Tianshui.

Today, Ma Zun, the prefect of Tianshui City, is in the hands of Zhuge Liang.

Jiang Wei was trapped in Jicheng, guarding his mother.

A small border town, isolated and helpless.

It is only because his mother is still there that Jiang Wei persists until today.

Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry either.

Just besiege the city and cut off food, without drumming or making noise.

It won't be long before Jiang Wei will have to go out of the city to surrender sooner or later.

Jiang Wei is also a master!

Zhuge Liang looked at Jicheng, which had been besieged for nearly two months, and there was no sign of chaos.

Then continue to surround!

Zhuge Liang simply ignored him.

To accept this person, he must take the initiative to surrender, otherwise, he will definitely not recognize Zhuge Liang as his respect.

"Sir." The attendant below handed Zhuge Liang another letter.

"Whose letter is this?"

"Letter from Major General Guan Xing."

"Oh?" Zhuge Liang waved the feather fan in his hand and said, "Is it their good news?"

It is not a day or two that there is food shortage in Anding and Tianshui.

When Ma Zun was defeated, he burned all the food.

This year coincides with drought again, and the autumn harvest is not good, it is killing people!

Zhuge Liang watched the sky at night, and Zhang Bao and Guan Xing must have succeeded in intercepting troops and grabbing food.

The attendant looked at Zhuge Liang, "The messenger came back with an arrow wound on his body. Only one of the ten people in the group came back. It seems that they were intercepted on the way."

The attendant handed Zhuge Liang a letter.

Zhuge Liang opened the letter and looked at it, his face brightened at first, and then darkened.

The attendant looked at Zhuge Liang's face, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned from upward to downward.

Chapter 1644 You have to spit out everything you eat!

"Huh!" Zhuge Liang threw the scroll on the big case.

"Jiang Wan."

"This subordinate is here." Jiang Wan bowed his hands.

"Go to Longdong immediately, find Zhang Bao, and ask him to return to Tianshui without delay!"

"Yes."

Jiang Wan didn't say anything, just turned around and left.

Zhuge Liang looked at Jiang Wan's unknown back, and his thoughts drifted to his resume.

When Liu Bei was around, because Jiang Wan was taciturn and liked to procrastinate, he was demoted again and again.

After Liu Bei's death, Jiang Wan's name occasionally appeared on Zhuge Liang's list of books for reorganizing the Han army, and Zhuge Liang remembered to use this person.

"Jiang Wan, there is a shortage of talents in the army, and the quality varies. You are less suspicious and more cautious. I hope you will not let me down."

Zhuge Liang spoke alone.

Jiang Wan didn't hesitate after going out, he found a strong fast horse in the army, took a few white scorpion soldiers and went.

Fufeng, Zhang Bao is in the army.

Ma Su has returned.

"General Zhang, I have found out Cao Xiong's marching route."

Ma Di took out a scroll of sheepskin, which showed the terrain of mountains and rivers near the Wei River, and some newly added routes of Cao Xiong's advance.

Zhang Bao and Guan Xing looked at the picture, glanced at each other, and then looked at Ma Di.

They certainly would not doubt Ma Di's drawing ability and reconnaissance ability.

"Dare to ask, sir, what should we do next?" Zhang Bao asked him modestly.

"We only need this, this..." Ma Su said happily to the two people.

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

Zhang Bao's Chinese army was stationed under a mountain in Fufeng.

At the same time, along the Wei River, Jingzhao County, which is three hundred miles down the river.

The [-] Cao troops from Chang'an are heading west.

Cao Xiong was sitting in the large carriage of the Chinese army.

The big beetle with the word "Xiong" written on it stretches in the wind.

Cao Xiong wasn't very worried about the situation in Xiliang.

Whether he can take Xiliang depends on whether he can take Fufeng County smoothly.

Because as long as he wins this place, he will be able to form a corner with Ma Chaojun who is in An Ding.

In this way, whether it is to continue the westward expedition or gather troops to stick to it, it will be very stable.

Sima Yi in Hanzhong has successfully cut off the grain road between Zhuge Liang and Jiang Yang.

There is a shortage of soldiers and food, and it will be Zhuge Liang who will be anxious at that time.

However, it is precisely because the matter is so simple that Cao Xiong is a little confused.

If Cao Xiong and Zhuge Liang were to change places, Cao Xiong would never give up Anding City.

He will do whatever it takes to attack Anding overnight and take this city.

Because of this matter, Cao Xiong has been thinking hard for many days to no avail.

There are only two reasons that can make Zhuge Liang let go of An Ding.

Either it was because taking Tianshui consumed too many sergeants, resulting in insufficient military strength to take Anding.

or...

It is that there is something more important than Anding City, which is attracting Zhuge Liang.

Is there anything in Xiliang that is more important than taking Anding City?

Cao Xiong thought about Xiliang, where the land is barren and there are few people. Apart from the vastness of the mountains, there is really nothing else.

Xishu is relatively rich in land.

However, Cao Xiong would not give Zhuge Liang a chance to win Xichuan.

"Hmph. Whatever tricks you have, you'll have to spit it out in the end!"

Cao Xiong said confidently.

Cao Xiong's [-] soldiers and horses walked across the field like a long dragon.

In a few days, the army will enter the boundary of Fufeng.

The Xiliang Mountains are endless, and I don't know if Zhuge Liang will ambush his army to attack him.

The news that Cao Xiong asked Ma Chao to release it on purpose should have already spread.

Next, we will watch Cao Xiong's performance.
