If Longyou was not in his own hands, Zhuge Liang would naturally try to cut off Beiyuan no matter what.

Although there is no way to completely cut off the connection between Longyou and Guanzhong, it is enough as long as it can cause trouble to the other party.

But now, there is absolutely no need for this.

Because this will only alert the enemy and make Sima Yi wary.

Judging from the camp he has set up now, he is afraid that he will withdraw his troops directly if things become disharmonious.

As a result, cutting off the northern highlands would be more of a loss than a gain.

Besides, now that the Wei thieves have lost Longyou, they have to protect Qian County in order to prevent the Han from crossing Longshan.

Therefore, Sima Yi must try his best to protect the northern plains to prevent Qian County's rear from being threatened.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang's eyes were dark, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

In the first Northern Expedition, the Han Dynasty took the initiative and almost failed.

In the battle of Xiaoguan, Wei took action and the Han fought back.

This time, it was finally the big man's turn to attack.

After all, what comes back is fair.

Only this time, the Han Dynasty was no longer what it was during the first Northern Expedition.

It feels so good to have complete control over the situation!

Wei Yan didn't know what the Prime Minister's plans were, but he could also expect that the Prime Minister didn't look anxious at all, as if he was waiting for something.

Now only Feng Jiujiu has disappeared, and the prime minister is most likely waiting for news about him.

Being ordered to retreat, Wei Yan felt a little unhappy. Seeing that the Prime Minister was so partial to Feng Yong, and then being reprimanded by the Prime Minister, Wei Yan couldn't help but feel dismayed.

Sima Yi spent several days closely observing the situation of the Han army on the other side.

Watching his opponent go up to Wuzhangyuan, watching his opponent set up camp in a leisurely manner, without seeming to be nervous at all, actually made him more and more confused.

"The Shu captives have come a long way, and the mountain roads are difficult to travel, and it is difficult to get food and grass. I expected that Zhuge Liang would seek a quick battle, but now it is beyond my expectation. Could it be a deception?"

After Sima Yi returned to the commander's camp, he asked someone to get the map and look at it carefully.

The army led by Ge Thief must undoubtedly be the main force in Hanzhong.

Because the martial arts water also flows out of the Xiegu mouth and finally pours into the Wei River, no matter how hard the Shu captives cover the battlefield, our sentry can easily know whether the Shu captives are real or fake.

After excluding Wuzhangyuan, our eyes fell on Qixian County.

Qian County reported news twice in the morning and evening. If the news was not delivered in time, Sima Yi would immediately send out scouting horses.

At present, it seems that there should be no problem in Qian County.

There is no problem in Qian County, which is the most worrying, and there will be no problem with the veteran Xian Yufu who is guarding the Jingshui River Valley.

The leading general coming from the direction of Anding is only unknown and not something to be feared.

The only thing that worries people now is that Feng Thief hasn't shown up yet.

Thinking of this, Sima Yi suddenly became excited: Feng Thief?

Could it be that Ge Thief was waiting for Feng Thief when he behaved like this?

So where would Thief Feng come from?

"I come from the grassland to warm your heart..."

Governor Feng was running on the grassland, waving his whip and singing loudly.

For more than a month, General Guan has been so moved by his singing voice that he often takes the initiative to go ahead and inspect.

As we continue to penetrate deeper into the desert, Juyan County's logistics can no longer cope with the situation.

The army began to use the food and grass they carried with them.

Fortunately, there were many barbarian tribes along the way as supply points, so there was no need to worry about the supply of food and grass for the army.

Moreover, with the continuous retreat of Yi Cong and Hu Qi, the remaining army is now less than 60,000, and the pressure on food and grass is not increasing so fast.

Over the past few days, the environment around the army has begun to change. There are gradually more undulating hills and low mountains.

Although he did not believe that there were barbarian forces on this grassland that could threaten his army, General Guan still increased his vigilance.

She has a good relationship with Feng Junhou and his wife, and she did not intend to avoid singing. She is running ahead now, just to shoulder her military responsibilities.

General Guan Da was thinking when suddenly news came from the front:

"General, Yi Cong's former army was ambushed!"

Attack?

Um!

Attack!

General Guan was slightly surprised. Are there really any tribes on this grassland that dare to attack Yi Cong Hu Qi?

In other words, are there any Hu tribes that can ambush Yi Cong Hu Qi?

There are less than 30,000 Yi Cong Huqi who can follow them here. Many of these people are already considered the first echelon of the Liangzhou Army's reserve troops.

They are the most loyal of all the Hu people in Liangzhou. They have fought with Feng Jishi more than once and have rich experience.

Coupled with their weapons and equipment, which tribe on the grassland can compare with them?

Although General Guan usually looked down on the undisciplined behavior of these horsemen, she was really surprised when they were suddenly attacked.

"Which direction? How many casualties? Who attacked? How many people are on the other side? Do you know?"

"Back to the general, due west, more than 400 were injured and more than 100 were killed. I heard from the Hu Qi who was attacked that there must be more than 3,000 thieves, all of them Hu Qi."

"Let the Huqi leader and army commander who were attacked come to see me!"

"Here!"

After riding down to deliver the order, General Guan continued to give the order again:

"Come here, give me my order to start pulling back the Hu Qi in front, and at the same time send out more scouts to investigate the situation ahead!"

"promise!"

After General Guan finished giving the order, he pulled the horse rope in his hand, turned the horse's head, and started galloping towards a source of noise pollution behind him.

"I once looked at you from a distance..."

"Tap tap tap..."

"I once held you close in my sleep..."

"Tap tap tap..."

The rapid sound of horse hoofbeats interrupted Governor Feng's interest.

Although he couldn't see the expression on Guan Ji's face clearly at the moment, Feng Jishi was as familiar with his mother-in-law as he was with his right hand after sleeping together for more than ten years.

He already felt that something was not right with Guan Ji, who was running towards this side.

When a whirlwind rushed past, there was a clear shout, and the handsome horse raised its front hooves high, and then stepped heavily on the ground, splashing a lot of soil.

"oh!"

Governor Feng patted his head and finally understood why something was wrong with Guan Ji. Of course it was wrong to ride such a fast horse at this time.

Guan Ji turned her horse's head again, rode away with Feng Yong, and said at the same time:

"The Yi Cong Hu cavalry at the front was attacked. The enemy was no less than three thousand cavalry."

Feng Yong was startled, blinked, and seemed unable to react for a while. After a while, he murmured:

"There is only about one person on the grassland who can organize an ambush with three thousand cavalry and defeat the rebel army at the same time."

When Guan Ji heard this, she immediately understood: "Ke Bineng?"

Governor Feng nodded:

"Maybe there are others on the grassland who can do it, but he is the only one I know of."

Guan Ji listened thoughtfully:

"After walking for so long, it is indeed time to arrive."

Just seeing that her Alang didn't seem to care too much, she couldn't help but asked with some doubts:

"If it's really what Ke Bineng did, wouldn't Alang be worried?"

"worry about what?"

"If it's Ke Bineng, did he do it on purpose or unintentionally?"

When Guan Ji said this, she looked at Governor Feng intently.

Although the army crossed the vast desert, it could get supplies from the Hu tribes along the way.

But if you want to be fully prepared before going south, you must get enough supplies from Kebineng.
