() Although Heliandada felt embarrassed, this matter was a much easier choice for other Qiang people. On one side were the Han spies who had no idea of ​​the details and had probably been discovered by others, and on the other side were the They Qiang people sent detailed information. Anyone who chooses between the two will believe the latter. So after a brief exchange, the leaders of the various tribes expressed their positions and believed that the subsequent intelligence should be accepted. .

Seeing that Helian Dada was finally defeated, Shen Likang was very proud and said with a smile: "This is the wisest choice. Now that our military strength is stronger than those of the Han people, why do we have to use some conspiracy?" What about using tricks to win the victory? If I hadn’t already made arrangements and sent a person to sneak into the Han army, I’m afraid we would have suffered a big loss this time. So I thought that if we wanted to capture Guzang, we should use an upright method. To attack in this way, their meager troops and horses plus the remnants of the defeated army are simply not enough to withstand our offensive."

"Well said, we Qiang people are far superior to the Han people in terms of military strength and combat power. Even though they were the Xiliang army that once dominated Xiliang for a while, they are not a threat at all when Dong Zhuo has been killed!" Suddenly, people who were already at odds with Heliandada came forward to make sarcastic remarks to irritate him.

After being influenced by these people, more tribal leaders began to clearly express their positions and attitudes, making Heliandada's face even more gloomy and ugly. But now, even in name, he is like this The leader of the Qiang army couldn't go against everyone's will and force them to do what he wanted. After a while, he snorted: "Since you think his Shen Likang's method is the best, then Do as you wish. But if something goes wrong in sending troops this time, don't blame me for not warning you."

Most of his words were just casually said out of anger. Others didn't take it too seriously and agreed with a smile. And Shen Likang even smiled proudly: "Don't worry, since the information this time is provided by our department. It was proposed by the people here, and all consequences will naturally be borne by us!”

Early in the morning of the next day, the Qiang army, which had been resting and recuperating in this plain area for five or six days, finally set off again and headed straight for Guzang County.

This time, their morale was even higher, not only because they had just won a victory, but also because they knew that after capturing Guzang, there would be almost no enemies in Xiliang who could stop their progress, and There is still plenty of food in Guzang City, which is enough to supplement their needs.

Everything will be completely under their control after they capture Guzang. However, if they want to advance to Guzang City, they must pass through a relatively difficult terrain, with raised hillsides on both sides, and woods on the slopes blocking their view. After marching for more than a day, the more than 3,000 cavalrymen in the vanguard had arrived at Laoyakou. Looking at the dangerous terrain here, they began to hesitate.

"Why don't you send someone back to ask for instructions from the leaders, and then decide whether to pass here immediately, or send someone to investigate and make sure it's safe before passing?" Yi Ta, the leader of this team, looked at the brothers beside him without hesitation. , asking what he meant.

His brother Kongta was also a little hesitant: "We had received news before that the Han people would set up an ambush here to catch us off guard. I wonder if a large number of ambushes have been set up here as rumored."

"I think it shouldn't happen. We have got the exact information earlier. Because the intelligence leaked, it is impossible for the Han people to set up an ambush here again. An ambush is only effective if we don't know about it, but now we know

If they knew they would do this, how could they arrange their troops again?" Yi Ta judged.

"In this case, we don't have to waste time. Let's get over it. It's getting dark now. We must arrive in Guzang before dark tomorrow so that we can put pressure on the Han army in the city in time!"

"Okay, let's go up!" Yi Ta saw that his brothers had said so, so he stopped delaying. With a wave of his hand, he ordered his subordinates to gallop forward, and a long queue entered the narrow and deep road.

in the mountain pass.

I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but when they drove into Laoyakou, the Qiang people couldn’t help but feel excited. Although there was no sign of darkening in the sky, it still made people feel a bit gloomy and uncomfortable.

It feels good. Everyone is staring at the mountains on both sides, as if a beast will rush out from there at any time.

On the hilltop two miles away from them, in the dense forest, Ma Chao and Han Yue were watching their actions from a high position. A cruel smile appeared on Ma Chao's mouth: "They finally

It’s coming, it seems that the old crow’s mouth will be filled with Qiang corpses very soon!”

"Nephew Meng Qixian, don't be too trusting. Now that they know that we may have set up an ambush here, they may send a group of scouts to find out what's going on. If they see through our hiding place, I'm afraid

The outcome of this battle is very unpredictable." Han Yue was not so optimistic and couldn't help but remind him.

But Ma Chao was not moved by his words and said with confidence: "This strategy was set up by my second brother. With the minds of these Qiang people, it is impossible to see through the deep meaning. So we just have to wait for their success.

If the army arrives and then takes advantage of the situation to attack, we can achieve a great victory."

Han Yue sighed secretly in his heart, a little dissatisfied with Ma Chao's words. But in front of him, he couldn't say anything clearly. After all, he had seen Ma Yue's ability, and maybe he could succeed this time.

And when he saw that the Qiang vanguard army had completely passed through Laoyakou without sending any scouts to find out what was going on, Han Yue's doubts faded a little: "Maybe Ma Yue did make the right decision.

Fa Zi, these Qiang people haven’t reached that level of sophistication yet.”

Two hours later, a large number of troops and horses appeared again to the west of Laoyakou. This time, the momentum of the troops was several times stronger than before. Nearly 50,000 cavalry continued to move towards Laoyakou at a uniform speed.

They stopped when they came two or three miles ahead of the mountain pass. This made Ma Chao, Han Yue and others who were watching their every move from above immediately became nervous.

"Why did they stop suddenly? Could it be that they saw some flaw or had some suspicion?" Han Yue murmured with some uncertainty.

"No, since my second brother dares to take this countermeasure, he must have figured out the Qiang people's behavior, and they will definitely enter our ambush circle soon!" Ma Chao seemed to comfort him, but also seemed to comfort him.

Said himself.

The hearts of the other officers and soldiers of the Xiliang Army were also raised at this moment, and many of them tightened their weapons. It seemed that as long as the Qiang people made a move, they would take advantage of the situation and kill them.

Ma Chao noticed this immediately and immediately ordered: "Give me the order, no one can move rashly, and absolutely cannot walk out of the forest. Otherwise, he will be our biggest sinner in Xiliang, and I will not spare him first."

!You have to trust my second brother’s judgment, they will definitely walk into the trap automatically!”

As soon as Ma Chao's words were passed on, the soldiers calmed down a little. In the minds of the Xiliang army officers, Ma Yue's wisdom could be compared with that of Zhuge Liang later. As long as it was his strategy, everyone would not have it.

Opposition or suspicion. After seeing this, Han Yue suddenly felt something in his heart. He knew that after defeating the Qiang people, Ma Yue's status in Xiliang would be far higher than everyone else, including his father Ma Yue.

Teng and Han make an appointment with themselves.

Outside Lao Yakou, the Qiang people stopped moving forward. Just like Yi Ta and the others before, after seeing the dangerous terrain here, these people also felt a little uneasy. Heliandada even took the opportunity to speak: "Here

It is indeed an easy place for an ambush. If we rush in and the Han people have set up an ambush here, it will be bad. What I mean is to change the route, or send some people to the mountains on both sides first to see what happens...

"

But his words made Shen Likang very dissatisfied. Because it made him feel that Helian Dada was deliberately belittling himself in order to avenge yesterday's attack. Obviously, they had reached an agreement yesterday and believed that he should immediately

Use troops against Guzang, and because of the information obtained, we can be sure that there will be no more

There is an ambush, so why do these unnecessary things? So he immediately objected: "It's getting late, why waste time anymore? We already know that the Han people can't set up an ambush here.

Moreover, the forward team has already passed here safely, so why bother?"

Heliandada wanted to argue, but Shen Likang didn't want to argue with him anymore, and immediately waved his hand: "Warriors of all tribes, let us move forward. Let those timid cowards watch us pass here safely.

, and then follow our footsteps!" His men and horses immediately agreed, and then followed his steps forward.

After being provoked by him, the other Qiang people could not hesitate any longer, otherwise they would consider themselves cowards, so they also shouted low and drove their horses forward. Even Heliandada's men were not willing to be left behind.

, moved one after another, which made his face even darker.

Soon, the 50,000 Qiang people were completely on the move. In an instant, the front group had entered Lao Yakou and walked into the mountain road.

On the top of the mountain, Ma Chao also showed excitement on his face: "Sure enough, they have been tricked just as the second brother said! Brothers, now it is our Xiliang warriors who can let them feel how powerful we are.
Chapter completed!
