After hearing what Huang Quan said, Yan Yan sighed helplessly and said, "Oh, Gongheng, you should also know that I, the prefect of Ba County, cannot easily move troops!"

Although Yan Yan is the prefect of Ba County and Huang Quan is just the county magistrate of Langzhong, Yan Yan did put Huang Quan in the same position as him. He knew very well that although Huang Quan was not a military general, he was very capable, and he might not be able to be above him in the future.

Huang Quan shook his head slowly and said, "Prince, now we are in a hurry to follow the power. If you don't stop Zhao Yun, then we will watch him lead his troops into Guanghan!"

Yan Yanxin said, "I don't know these things, but without the orders of my lord, I can't break the rules." The punishment I received was small, but if everyone else imitated me in the future, then my sins would be great. Isn't this causing trouble for my lord?"

When Huang Quan saw that Yan Yan was not an ignorant person, but he still had some concerns.

"The prefect, there is not much time left now. If you really want to help the lord, there is a way for you now!"

"Oh? Please tell me!"

"No! The way to be honest is that the prefect can send someone to send letters to Chengdu, and then we will fight to stop the enemy!"

Yan Yan thought Huang Quan could have any good solutions, but this was still not very good. Huang Quan saw it and asked immediately, "Do you dare to ask the prefect, is it important to be stable in Yizhou?"

Yan Yanxin said, "Is this still necessary to ask?" So he said: "Nature is important!"

Without hesitation, Yan Yan replied. Huang Quan clapped his hands, "That's right. Since the prefect also believes that Yizhou's stability is so important, why do you refuse to send troops to stop the enemy? Is the prefect afraid of him, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong? Or is it afraid of his Liangzhou army by Ma Mengqi?"

Yan Yan laughed and said to Huang Quan: "Gongheng. You don't have to inspire me so much. Now I refuse to move troops, but now Yizhou is in trouble. If I, Yan Yan, don't send troops again, I will be sorry for the old lord's kindness to me! Don't worry, as you say, I will immediately send a letter to send someone to the lord's lord's place in Chengdu. Here I will immediately order troops to stop Zhao Yun! How about you?"

Huang Quan smiled slightly, "The prefect is wise and decisive. Why do you fear him, Ma Mengqi, Zhao Zilong and others!"

Yan Yanze said, "I'm afraid that someone will say I'm afraid of them!"

After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed, and at this moment everything was gone.

Yan Yan did it after he finished speaking, and immediately picked up a letter and sent someone to Chengdu. Of course, he was a military general, so there were no words in the letter as much as the scholars. Just a few simple words. That is to say, before I received the order from the lord, I sent troops to intercept Zhao Yun without authorization, and asked my lord to punish him. The main thing is these few sentences, Yan Yan's meaning, and he knew that his lord would understand after reading it. Although he knew that this would cause some trouble to himself, no matter how big the trouble was, it was not as important as the stability of Yizhou. If Yizhou was really lost, what else would be discussed?

Yan Yan is indeed not a person who doesn't know how to adapt. Sometimes, as the prefect of a county, although he is a general, he actually has a lot of things to consider. So he must weigh it carefully. And there are actually quite a few people watching him, and he knows all of them. I guess someone should have an objection this time, and then he will talk about himself in front of his lord. But these are not important. The important thing is that he should lead troops to intercept Zhao Yun as soon as possible. It would be better if he could repel them in one fell swoop. Of course, he must still bring Huang Quan with him. He admires Huang Quan very much. Huang Quan's martial arts are not as good as himself, but his mind and strategy are not as good as others.

Yan Yan's personality was indeed decisive. After he handed over all the affairs of Ba County to the county magistrate, just one day later, he led his troops from Jiangzhou to intercept Zhao Yun. Of course, he brought Huang Quan with him, so Huang Quan naturally did not refuse. Yan Yan almost took away all the guards in Jiangzhou, with a total of 30,000 people. Although his troops were indeed slightly insufficient compared to the combat power of the regular army of the Yizhou Army, he was trained by Yan Yan himself, so his combat power was not comparable to that of ordinary guards in the city.

At this time, Huang Quan felt relieved because he was leading his troops to the junction of Ba County and Guanghan County with Yan Yan. He believed that he would definitely wait or meet Zhao Yun there and he would be confident. He finally convinced Yan Yan to send troops to block the enemy. He believed that in this way, at least Zhao Yun's advance would not be too smooth.

In fact, Huang Quan had no hope of defeating Zhao Yun and repelling him, but Yan Yan's departure would definitely stop Zhao Yun for a while, and that was certain.

--------------------------------------------------

Zi Tong, after the first tentative attack, Ma Chao ordered the Jin to withdraw his troops, and at this time everyone gathered together in the central army's tent. It was still the old rules of the Liangzhou army, so everyone would have a good talk about the war together.

"Everyone, although Zitong City is strong and has a high wall, it is not impossible to break. In comparison, I think it is much easier to break than Jiameng Pass! What do you think?"

Ma Chao said that he wanted to inspire everyone with words. Although Zitong is indeed a big city, it is of course not as good as Jiameng Pass. Although there are about 10,000 guards guarding, Ma Chao has not taken them seriously yet. In his opinion, Zitong is not as powerful as Jiameng Pass, so breaking the city is just a matter of time.

Guo Jia smiled at this time, "It's the lord Gao Ming who dragged Gao Pei's 20,000 Yizhou troops on the southwest bank of Zitong River, but it made our army less resistance!"

Everyone nodded, but Ma Chao smiled. In fact, this cannot be said to be that he had dragged him Gao Pei, but that Gao Pei himself asked him, which was that he had dragged him himself. Of course Ma Chao also knew that Guo Jia and Jia Xu could not not know about these things, but Guo Jia said so, which was blatantly flattering himself. Of course, Ma Chao would not say much about this, at least Gao Pei was still on the southwest bank of Zitong River for the time being. And he still did not move, which was a bit good.

--------------------------------------------------

When it comes to Gao Pei at this time, he is very conflicted. Yes, that's it. Because he really wanted to destroy Ma Chao and the Liangzhou army under Zitong City, but he also knew that this was obviously impossible. Even if he repelled them, he had no choice at this time. And he didn't think about leading his troops away, but where else can he go after leaving, it would definitely be impossible to retreat to Zitong, because in that case, he would have to cross the Zitong water again, and in this way he would have to risk being attacked by Ma Chao and the others.

So in the end, he had to retreat to Fu County, but Gao Pei felt that he could not retreat to Fu County, or at least for the time being. Now he should have stationed on the southwest bank of Zitong River with 20,000 troops. After his Liangzhou army occupied Zitong, he could lead his troops to retreat.

At this time, Gao Pei did not realize that he actually thought that Ma Chao's Liangzhou army would win and occupy Zitong. He finally retreated to Fu County. In fact, this does have a great meaning of "increasing the aura of others and destroying his own majesty". I guess if Liu Zhang knew Gao Pei's idea, he might have regretted it. He would regret asking Gao Pei to lead his troops to support him. After all, Yizhou is not without military generals, and Gao Pei is definitely the general behind, but Liu Zhang asked him to come. Maybe that was right. "Feng Shui turns around", "Ten Years of Hedong, Ten Years of Hexi", maybe that's the case.

It is indeed Gao Pei who is lucky, and also unfortunate. Fortunately, what he thought was realized immediately, and unfortunately, it is actually this.

Just two days later, the Liangzhou army captured Zitong, and Wu'anguo made great contributions. Just because he climbed to the top of the city and finally killed Zitong's guards with his own hands, Zitong's guards finally surrendered. The so-called "a snake without a head" should not be expected to see how these guards can do it. At least once the guards die, they will basically have no intention of fighting again. So the Liangzhou army took a big advantage, and Wu'anguo directly cut off the victory with this knife.

Zi Tong was thrown too quickly, which made Gao Pei not mentally prepared. That's true. Although he thought in his heart that Zi Tong would definitely lose in the end, who would have thought that it was only more than three days and then lost it in an instant? Gao Pei almost thought that he was dreaming, but he pinched himself several times. It turned out that it hurt. After knowing the exact news, Gao Pei quickly retreated with his 20,000 troops, and of course, he retreated to Fu County as he had thought before. Because after Ma Chao occupied Zi Tong at this time, he could directly enter Fu County from Zi Tong, so if he didn't lead his troops to garrison quickly, Fu County would have to be lost immediately.

Gao Pei thought to himself that he has been a little too memorable in the past two years. When will it be true that it will be time to operate? I thought that this time his lord asked him to lead his troops to support him, and that was his time to operate, but now it seems that it is not the case. In the end, he had no choice but to lead his troops to Fu County, while Ma Chao led his troops into Zitong.

--------------------------------------------------

At this time, Ma Chao was leading troops into Zitong, and there were Zitong people watching from both sides next to him. How could it be said that although the people of Yizhou were a little xenophobic, they were not so hostile to Ma Chao and the Liangzhou army. Whether it was Ma Chao or Liangzhou army, they had no bad reputation, that is, Ma Chao had slaughtered Shaodang Qiang, but they were alien races after all, and the people did not have much compassion for the foreign races. Besides, they were still Qiang people, and the people were even more annoyed by them, so for the people, who would be the governor of this state and who would be under Yizhou, at least it was not important to them at this time.

As long as the people's own interests are not damaged, they will not say anything. However, war is always the most annoying to the people, and Yizhou has always been relatively peaceful before. Under Liu Yan's rule, the people have lived and worked in peace over the years. Therefore, as soon as Ma Chao's Liangzhou army entered the city, although the people did not oppose causing trouble, they would not be welcomed by cross-border people.

Ma Chao was walking in the front, with people on the left and right, he was in the middle, and the Liangzhou army was following behind. Their speed was not fast, so it could be said that they were very slow, because they were afraid that something would happen if the horses were fast, so Ma Chao naturally slowed them down a long time ago.

But at this moment, a person appeared not far from Ma Chao. Ma Chao thought, there was someone who dared to take his own way? He was indeed interested, but when he looked carefully, he was just a teenager, or a child was more accurate?

Ma Chao took the white lion, then stretched his right hand up and ordered the army to stop advancing. As expected, the Liangzhou army stopped from Ma Chao and the others.

Ma Chao smiled at the young man blocking the road ahead and said, "Who is coming? Why are you blocking the road?"

The young man said, "Guanghan Peng Ye! Come and ask for your meeting!"

Ma Chao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, thinking to himself that Peng Ye of Guanghan? I have really heard of this person. He seems to be a talent from Shu! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
