Cao Zhen glanced at Zhang He and said to himself, "Weiming? We are driven around like cattle and sheep, so why are we talking about wisdom? Now that Liu Bei is in full swing, it is estimated that the recovery of Guanzhong has become a bubble, but our existence is of great significance to the State of Wei. As long as he stands in the fertile land of Hexi, Liu Bei's main force will not dare to leave Guanzhong easily."

Zhang He turned his eyes and praised excitedly: "It's amazing, our army is backed by the fertile soil of Hexi, and it is sufficient supply. Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei came from Guanzhong. On the contrary, they are inconvenient to supply, and the offensive and defensive momentum changes instantly, Liu Bei abandoned it. Our partial army ignored it, and when the Han army in Guanzhong attacked the Central Plains, it was the day when we retake Guanzhong.”

"That's true, Junyi has to work hard and immediately clean up his troops and horses, and the entire army will be set off tomorrow." Cao Zhense said.

"Now." Zhang He first responded with his fists, and then whispered: "Ten thousand troops retreat, and there are countless supplies taken away. The general should leave a small number of troops and horses to bluff, as long as it can delay the rhythm of the opponent's attack. Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun's troops have thousands of troops. Cavalry, no one will have a big problem after the rear."

"Well said." Cao Zhen nodded with relief, then patted Zhang He on the shoulder and said, "Yidao (Hu Zun) is a stable person. He is quite famous locally. I left three thousand soldiers and horses to help Cui Liang stop Lin. Jing, I believe it will be able to hold Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun.”

"This... the people of this county are willing to fight the enemy with their hearts?" Zhang He looked suspicious, thinking that people's hearts are unpredictable. Isn't it equivalent to sending the city to an unstable person to maintain peace?

"Yidao (Hu Zun)'s family members will follow the front army first. General Zhang must have confidence in General Hu." Cao Zhen said meaningfully.

"The last general is confident now." Zhang He hurriedly answered with his fists.

Cao Zhen then instructed: "Only by General Hu's journey, I'm worried that I can't resist Zhao Yun. Xiaoguan in the north needs to leave a general to take charge, and wait for the main force to distance himself from the Han army. General Junyi is yours, I will stay. There is enough food and grass.”

"Uh... the last general obeys the order..." Zhang He shot himself in the foot and could only kill his teeth. However, there were too few generals available to Yong Liang, and it was basically a foregone conclusion that he was left behind.

Xiaoguan is one of the four major passes in Guanzhong. Only Gaoping (Guyuan) can provide supplies to guard Xiaoguan. Once the food is out of stock, there is a piece of barren loess to the north. It takes hundreds of miles away to provide supplies to the city. Therefore, after Zhang He bid farewell to Cao Zhen, Keep thinking about how long I will last.

Cao Zhen withdrew silently. Beyond Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong's expectations, the Han army easily solved the "refugees" in Yinpan County, which was also beyond Zhang He's expectations.

In addition to the ships from the Jinghe River, there were thousands of civilians on the land carrying baggage. Zhao Yun knew what happened when he entered Yinpan County. He recruited all the men in the city to become civilians and left a small amount of ration for his wife and son in the city. Live and promise to let them come back after the war is won, and there will be some food for compensation.

There are thousands of households left in Yinpan County, and they are on the verge of starvation. Zhao Yun's behavior is like raining in time. The people are grateful and rush to sign up. The families with no children at home are willing to follow the army to fight, and the Han army will be This makes thousands of civilians more useless.

Two days later, when the Han army was at the city, Cui Liang and Hu Zun mobilized the people to defend the city. In order to have a good meal, the exploited people could only wear soldiers' clothes to pretend to be Wei soldiers.

Huang Zhong had superb archery skills and his eyes were like torch. He found that the defenders on the city wall were not upright and showed a terrified expression on his face. It was obviously because he had been pulled to defend without training.

"Zilong, Linjing seems to have many defenders, but in fact, there are many people who are just pretending to be the ones. I suspect that most of them are pretending to be the people." Huang Zhong frowned.

Zhao Yun stroked his beard and smiled, "Cui Liang was so arrogant just now that he said he wanted to waste us to death in Linjing. It was so arrogant. I saw that I had a clever plan to destroy his city."

"Continue to set up the pot?" Huang Zhong asked tentatively.

Zhao Yun smiled mysteriously, "Didn't Yinpan recruit a lot of civilians? Let them come out and talk about the actions of the Wei army. Does the old general think that the people in the city are still willing to defend the city?"

"Zilong is good, I didn't see that you can use your strategy so well." Huang Zhong praised it very much.

"Haha, I can't compare to several military advisors..." Zhao Yun shook his head modestly.

Yinpan's civil servant appeared under the city to speak out, and Zhao Yun asked someone to make Zhang He's evil deeds into catchy short sentences and sang them, and thousands of "refugees" sang loudly under Linjing City at the same time.

The Great Wei and the Great Wei knelt when they saw the Han, went into battle and leaned on their mouths, and returned to the city to become bandits;

The small city is yin and the people are young and the families are cold, the Wei soldiers are cut off, and the open and the dark are robbed;

Alas, the common people are not as good as livestock. If they were a Wei person, they would not be as mud and dust;

......

Hu Zun and Cui Liang jumped straight at the foot of the foot when they heard it. The people on the city wall were either forced or to promise that meal. Now they heard the people of Yinpan, and they all looked at the Wei soldiers with strange eyes, and soon someone threw away the weapons.

Taking off his military uniform and the chaotic scene made Zhao Yun happy.

Seeing that the people were in a state of anti-Wei, Cui Liang was worried that he would let things go, so he personally took the guards to kill people and establish his authority. As soon as he walked down the city wall and chased him on the street, he was killed by Yang Ling, the general who came to reinforce.

Yang Ling then opened the city gate to welcome the Han army into the city. Hu Zun was captured alive by Zhao Yun while running away, and Linjing easily fell into Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong's hands.

Zhao Yun heard that Hu Zun was a prominent family in peace. In order to stabilize the recovered area as soon as possible, he personally failed to surrender, so he imprisoned him in the city and prepared to continue to advance to Xiao Guan.

The surrendered general Yang Ling beheaded Cui Liangzhi was proud and volunteered to go to the troubled waters to make money and open Xiaoguan. After hearing this, Zhao Yun encouraged and agreed happily.

After seeing Yang Ling go out, Huang Zhong asked with some concern: "Zhang He is not an idiot. Can Yang Ling really help us to make money to open Xiaoguan?"

"I have heard a strategy in the martial arts hall. The real and real are the most difficult to defend against, especially the real and the real and the real and the real are the most difficult to defend against.

"Zilong made it clear." Huang Zhong looked anxious.

"Yangling was originally a general of Wei, and Zhang He had no reason not to turn on and release people, but people other than Yangling must be selected as our elite. As long as the gate of Xiaoguan is wide open, they will never be closed again.

I'm also involved in it." Zhao Yun smiled slightly.

"Zilong is the chief general. If I let me do this, I disguise myself in the crowd and maybe I can attack Zhang He even sneakily." Huang Zhong replied seriously.

"Uh...well, remember not to be exposed too early. I led the main force to support the rear. As long as the front succeeds, I will lead the army to advance into Xiaoguan. In order to save military rations, Cao Zhen only left five thousand defenders for Zhang He.

Where can he hold on? Hahaha..." Zhao Yun raised his head and laughed.

"Then let's go right away?" Huang Zhong asked.

"We have to rest for a day. Jingshui turned the road in Xiaoguan and entered the mountain westward. The supply ship could no longer continue. We need to recruit some civilians in Anding, and leave Xiaoguan, Gaoping (Guyuan), and there are mountains for hundreds of miles away.

, Loess, there is no place to find supplies, so they have to rely on them to transport grain." Zhao Yun explained.

Huang Zhong thought of the people of Yinpan and thought to himself that this was destiny? So he couldn't help but sigh: "It's really God bless the great man."

"Cao Zhen only leaves three thousand defenders, so the old general just needs to pick two thousand elite soldiers. You must bring water bags and compressed food. Now Zhang He is far away from the main force of the Wei army. If he can capture or subdue this person alive, Cao Zhen will stay in Yongliang's remnants of the army.

It can be broken." Zhao Yunyu told earnestly.
