The various units of Liu Bei's army siege from all directions, with an offensive like tide and a roar like thunder. The mountains and forests seemed to have been overturned! However, the fierce and unparalleled assault of Liu Bei's army was blocked by the lines of defense quickly formed by the Qin army, and the Qin army's crossbowmen were overturned by waves of counterattacks.

After the two sides fought for a long time, Liu Bei's army was unable to break the formation, but instead became chaotic.

In view of the current situation, Mao Jie was preparing to reorganize his formation and attack a little harder.

However, at this moment, something beyond Mao Jie's expectations suddenly appeared.

The sound of horns suddenly came from Wuyue Mountain in the east. At the same time, the Qin army, which was like a tide, poured down from the east mountain, like a sudden mountain torrent, and the weather was amazing! Mao Jie and others could not resist the sudden scene and were shocked. A general couldn't help but exclaimed: "What's going on?"

!”

The sudden Qin army suddenly broke into Liu Bei's army from the outside. The officers and soldiers were like tigers going down the mountain, killing Liu Bei's corpses and blood-stormingly, and their formation was in chaos! Mao Jie urgently ordered the troops to stabilize their positions, but in the face of this sudden, completely unexpected attack, Liu Bei's army could not resist it. Seeing that they were defeated by their opponents one after another, it was like the ice and snow under the harsh sun, and the ice disappeared in an instant! At the same time, Wei Yan's troops, who were originally on the defensive, turned from defense to attack, and the sound of war drums roared.

Long Dazuo, the soldiers of various units rushed forward and rushed forward! The two Qin troops attacked each other forward, and the attack was like a strong wind, like a mountain torrent, and the rushing and conflicting direction was indecisive. Liu Bei's army tried desperately to resist, but he could not resist it in panic. Seeing that the opponent's fierce rush and killing were defeated like a mountain! The defeated general rushed to the north, Mao Jie urgently ordered the cavalry to cut off the rear, but thousands of cavalry that broke the rear collapsed in an instant under the fierce attack of the Qin army, and completely collapsed, without any effect of cutting off the rear.

The Qin army roared and rushed forward, like a pack of wolves and tigers swept straight towards the front! Liu Bei's army was completely in chaos, and no officers and soldiers could sleep. They spread their feet and ran away desperately, only regretting that their parents had fewer legs.

When it was dark, Mao Jie led the defeated general to escape to Fansukou, but before his butt was sitting down, an alarm came again.

Mao Jie intended to rely on the dangerous terrain of Fanxukou to resist the Qin army, but his officers and soldiers had already dispersed and fled after hearing the alarm of the Qin army chasing him. Mao Jie had no choice but to give up Fanxukou and fled to the west.

Soon, Wei Yan and Ma Su's pursuers entered Fanxukou one after another, stopped temporarily, and sent envoys to report the victory.

Fanxukou is the junction between Guanzhong and Xiliang.

Tens of miles west of Fanxukou are Longguan, and to the west of Longguan are Hanyang County, Tianshui County, Longxi County and other counties; to the north of Fanxukou are Gaoping Chaona County, and three hundred miles north of Gaoping are Beidi County; to the northeast of Fanxukou is Ding'an County, which is also a large county, which is adjacent to Guanzhong from the north; as for the four counties of Wuwei County, Zhangye County, Jiuquan County and Dunhuang County in Xiliang, they extend northwest in the northwest direction of Fanxukou, and end up in the northwest direction of Fanxukou, until Yumen Pass in western Dunhuang.

Beyond Yumen Pass is the so-called Western Regions. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Chief Mansion of the Western Regions was established in the Western Regions. Later, Cao Cao and Liu Bei inherited this institution one after another.

However, unlike later generations who thought, the establishment of the Chief of the Western Regions did not represent the Han Dynasty's military occupation of the Western Regions. It could basically be regarded as a diplomatic institution, which was used to coordinate all aspects of the Western Regions and monitor the activities of the Northern Huns. However, in this era, the Huns had long since collapsed and disappeared.

The Qiang people had just retreated to the West Sea when they received news that Mao Jie's army had been defeated and that the Qin army had seized Fanxukou.

Aijian couldn't help but feel very grateful and said to his beloved daughter Muya: "Thanks to your advice from my daughter! Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Mu Ya was about to speak, but another tall and beautiful girl said dissatisfiedly: "If Mu Ya had not instigated her father Khan to withdraw her troops, how could Mao Jie be defeated? If the entire Xiliang was taken away by Lu Bu, would we have good fruits?"

This girl with a somewhat similar appearance and temperament to Muya is named Shu Ya, who is Muya's sister and has always been incompatible with Muya.

Aijian felt that Shu Ya's words were not unreasonable, and he couldn't help but frown and think.

It is said that Wei Yan and Ma Su occupied Fanxukou and settled down. Although the two were willing to continue attacking, their officers and soldiers were already very tired after all, and the problems of the Qiang people were not solved. Therefore, the two stopped at Fanxukou. On the one hand, they had to rest and wait for the lord's news and instructions before taking further action.

Wei Yan and Ma Su stood in front of the map and discussed the current situation.

At this moment, an officer rushed in, clasped his fists and said, "Two generals, the lord is here!"

The two were surprised, and Wei Yan hurriedly asked, "Where has the lord been?"

Before the officer could speak, a hearty laughter came from outside, and then a heroic voice came: "It's already in your tent!"

The two of them were very surprised and hurriedly walked towards the door.

The lord walked in surrounded by everyone and hurriedly said, "I will pay homage to the lord!"

Ailang laughed loudly, walked up to help the two of them up, and said, "No need to be polite!"

Then he patted the two of them on the shoulders and exclaimed: "You did a good job! It was beyond my expectations! I was worried that you would make mistakes and were eager to lead the army to come, but I didn't expect that you had defeated Mao Jie! This battle was beautiful! Especially the trick! How did you expect Mao Jie's intention?"

Ma Su clasped his fists with a shame and said, "My lord is a mistake! All the credits should be from General Wei Yan. The last general dare not take credit!"

Ailang smiled and said, "Don't be modest."

The greatest credit is naturally Wei Yan, but you also make an indelible contribution!”

Ma Su looked at Ailang with gratitude.

Ailang walked upwards.

Ma Su and Wei Yan met Dian Wei.

Ai Lang sat down on the head and asked Wei Yan and Ma Su, "What's going on with Mao Jie now?"

Wei Yan clasped his fists and said, "Just just received a report from the scout, the remnants led by Mao Jie had retreated to Longguan.

Judging from the current situation in Xiliang, there are not many troops left by the enemy, so our army can capture Xiliang in one fell swoop."

Ma Su followed and said, "General Wei Yan said very well! The last general has a suggestion. Now the entire Xiliang can no longer resist the military advance of our army. The situation is very clear. It is better to send multiple envoys to each county to surrender. Those county magistrates must be aware of the current affairs. I believe that most counties will surrender enthusiastically!"

Ailang nodded and said, "Ma Su's suggestion is very good, so you should be responsible for this matter."

Ma Su held his fists and agreed.

Ailang said jokingly: "I brought 20,000 cavalry and 80,000 troops behind it. It seems useless."

Wei Yan smiled and clasped his fists and said, "My lord is joking. With these soldiers, we can just guard against the threat of the Qiang people, and even take the opportunity to capture their West Sea!"

Ailang waved his hand and said, "We will not move the Qiang people for the time being.

The main energy at present is to seize Xiliang.

Don’t forget that there are 250,000 coalition forces in the Western Regions staring at the west, and this war is far from over! Not only can the Qiang people be moved now, but if they can form an alliance with the Qiang people, no matter how good it is, it will be gone!”

He glanced at the two of them and asked, "Do you think it is possible to form an alliance with the Qiang people?"

Wei Yan and Ma Su looked around, and Ma Su clasped their fists and said, "Lord, there are many Qiang people under the last general, and they can send them to the West Sea.

Previously, the Qiang people took the initiative to evacuate the battlefield, so it should be feasible to win over them."

Ailang nodded and said, "Okay.

This matter is left to you to do."

Ma Su bowed to his promise.

Ailang remembered something and said to Dian Wei: "Lao Dian, take out the letter from Kong Ming and hand it over to Ma Su."

Dian Wei Yingnuo took out a roll of bamboo slips from a small cloth bag he carried and handed them to Ma Su.

Ailang said: "This is a handwritten letter written by Kong Ming to Mao Jie.

Kong Ming said that after he defeated Mao Jie's spirit, he could send someone to hand over the letter to Mao Jie.

Haha, now Mao Jie is defeated and fled back to Longguan, and his morale is greatly frustrated, so he can hand over this letter to him.

Ma Su, you send a suitable officer to hand over this letter to Mao Jie.

Maybe we can collect the entire Xiliang without bloodshed!"

Ma Su clasped his fists and agreed, and then ordered someone to call an officer and handed the letter to the officer. After giving some advice, the officer bowed to Ailang and went down with the letter.

Liu Bei, who retreated to Langya Valley, received an urgent report from Xiliang. He learned that the Qiang people retreated and Mao Jie was defeated and the Qin army had occupied Fanxukou. He was shocked and felt at a loss.

Pang Tong frowned and said, "It's over, and the original plan has to be completely given up! If Xiliang can be saved, it will be the best result!"

He clasped his fists at Liu Bei and said, "Lord, we must retreat into Sanguan immediately, and then use some of our troops to guard the dangerous passes such as Sanguan. At the same time, we mobilize a large army to go north from Wududao to support Xiliang. As long as we can persist until the arrival of the Western Regions coalition forces, Xiliang may still be kept!"

The area south of Sanguan and Yizhou does not actually belong to Yizhou, but to Wudu County in Xiliang, which can be regarded as an important barrier to the north of Xichuan; and the so-called Wudu Dao is a passage from Wudu County to the north to connect other places in Xiliang.

This Wudu Dao winds among the mountains and steep mountains, and is very steep. It is currently the only passage between Liu Bei's Xichuan and Xiliang.

Ailang had always thought that seizing Chen Cang would cut off the connection between Xichuan and Xiliang, but it was actually incorrect.

It’s no wonder they are. After all, that era is completely different from the current information society. Not only does it mean that information is blocked, it is not easy to understand the specific situation of a place.

Wudu County is located in the western border, and there are not many people in the mainland who have heard of it, let alone understand the specific situation there.
