Chen Cang, this town has been upgraded to a third-level town with a population of nearly 100,000, just one step away from a small city.

Elite cavalry patrolled the streets, captured the works, and strengthened their control over Chen Cang.

A carriage entered Chencang, and the strategists in the carriage lifted the curtains. It was obvious that there were soldiers wearing armor patrolling the streets, and the market was prosperous.

At the city gate tower of Chen Cang, flags of the State of Wei were erected.

"Chen Cang is located at the junction of Xiliang, Guanzhong and Hanzhong. The terrain is dangerous. Vagrants from all over the country gather here due to war, so they have a large population."

Seeing that Chen Cang had hope of becoming a small city, this strategist immediately analyzed Chen Cang's location.

Since ancient times, Chen Cang has been a must-fight for military strategists.

Because of Chen Cang's special geographical location, many refugees came here to settle down, so Chen Cang became the most prosperous town in the west of Guanzhong.

The carriage was stopped by a hundred generals.

The hundred people shouted, "Who is in the car? Why did you come to Chen Cang?"

"I am a businessman who fled from Longxi. Longxi is in chaos, so he came here to buy some land and houses."

"You go with me to see the general."

The hundred generals saw that the counselor in the carriage was dressed as a scholar, and knew that the other party had an extraordinary origin, so they left him torture him.

In Chencang's county government office, a figure dressed as a military general spreads the topographic map, which marks dozens of important towns on the topographic map, all of which are important places in the Guanzhong Plain.

"No news about His Majesty yet."

"Maybe Your Majesty is not in Qinchuan, but we have found several generals and have the strength to obtain the land of Qinchuan of 800 miles and then we will meet with Your Majesty."

"An Lushan, north of Qinchuan, has been defeated by Zhang Hua and Li Longji. In addition, there are several powerful enemies in Xianyang and Youfufeng."

Several generals gathered around the map.

On the topographic map, the distribution of Qinchuan forces is marked.

"The General, a merchant from Longyou came to our Chencang. The subordinates doubted his origin, so they brought him to see the General."

"You did a great job, invite him."

Soon, the strategist was taken to the generals of the Wei State.

"You said you are from Longyou? What's going on in Longyou now?"

"The princes of Longyou are in conflict, and the emperor is angry and buried millions of corpses and bleeding thousands of miles away. He is deeply affected, so he comes to Chencang to take refuge."

"What are your talents?"

"I understand the art of being a wise man. However, I only want to go to business, but I don't want to become an official."

"The martyr?"

Several generals of the Wei Kingdom looked at each other.

The straitors emerged in the Warring States Period and were also one of the earliest professional diplomats in ancient times.

To be unyielding, to unite the weak, to attack the strong; to be unyielding, to act the strong, to attack the weak.

The most outstanding person in the rank of the ranks is that the princes are afraid when they are angry, and the world is extinguished when they live in peace.

The general in charge said: "If you have the ability to live in seclusion in Chencang, wouldn't you waste all your talents? It's better to serve this general and take Guanzhong. This general is Cao Zhen, the general of Wei State, and will never treat you badly. In the future, if I find my follower, I will definitely be able to win the world."

The adviser replied: "I have heard of the general's name for a long time, but the princes are constantly quarrels. Once they become officials, they are prone to hatred and therefore killed."

"Don't worry, this general has a tiger and leopard cavalry and will definitely take Guanzhong." Cao Zhen inserted a dagger on the map, "As long as you help me get Guanzhong, even if you become the prime minister in the future, so what?"

In the plateau mountains north of Sanyuan Town, Wang Ping led a team of Wudang flying troops to attack villages or Hu tribes that were originally affiliated with An Lushan.

In order to defeat Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, An Lushan was not idle in the first year and was expanding to the outside world, conquering the Hu tribes and villages on the edge of the Loess Plateau.

Now that An Lushan dies, these villages will naturally become homeless places.

Zhang Hua ordered Wang Ping to lead two thousand Wudang Flying Army to take these places, so that the population of these villages would be subject to the rule of the government, and to pay land and other taxes on time.

In ancient times, the level of urbanization was very low. For example, Xia Town and Sanyuan Town were already considered a prosperous territory with a population of only tens of thousands. Only the villages of all sizes and small groups controlled by the town gathered the largest population.

There are quite a few villages in the mountains, with a population ranging from one hundred households to several thousand households.

Wang Ping arrived with two thousand Wudang Feijun, and all these villages surrendered to Wang Ping, and they were no match for Wudang Feijun.

Occasionally, two or three large villages resisted, but were defeated by Wang Ping and killed his leader, these villages became peaceful.

Wang Ping led his troops to rest in one of the large villages and prepared to continue to expand his sphere of influence to the Loess Plateau.

Wang Ping found the officials appointed by An Lushan in this village and asked him about the situation in the north.

Zhang Hua concentrated on his work to investigate the virtuality and reality of the Qinchuan forces, and knew nothing about the situation on the Loess Plateau.

First, there are not so many fine works, second, the Loess Plateau is vast, full of gullies washed out by rivers, and there are many villages. These villages have a tough custom, so fine works may not be allowed to pass through.

When strangers enter the village, they will easily be recognized.

It was not until Wang Ping led his troops to collect villages in the gullies on the north plateau that Wang Ping began to contact the forces here.

Wang Ping led his troops to collect dozens of villages and tens of thousands of people, and he has not encountered large-scale resistance.

The village with the most powerful force has hundreds of soldiers, and after the leader was shot and killed by Wang Ping, there was no future.

The officials in the village replied carefully: "In the gullies in the north, there is a town-level village. Because there is a Mafang inside, it is named Mafang County. Originally, this Mafang was one of the Mafang secretly established by An Lushan, and is used to breed war horses. The population of each village under Mafang County is tens of thousands."

"It turned out to be a town...how many troops?"

"There are only five hundred people. However, Mafang County has lost contact with our village recently. I wonder if the local tyrants will occupy Mafang Town when An Lushan dies and become independent."

"I see."

Wang Ping had a rough understanding of the situation in Mafang County.

It was almost effortless to capture villages before, but Mafang County had tens of thousands of people, and the Mafang built by An Lushan could provide war horses. With the local fierce folk customs, after An Lushan's death and escaped from An Lushan's control, Wang Ping was not surprised that 10,000 soldiers and horses broke out in Mafang Town.

However, the troops that exploded in a short period of time are definitely not elite soldiers, so Wang Ping's two thousand Wudang Flying Army can try to capture Mafang Town.

Since the powerful Mafang Town left An Lushan's sphere of influence and occupied the mountain as king and was unwilling to surrender, Wang Ping could only defeat the other party until he surrendered.

Wang Ping's Wudang Flying Army was an elite selected from the Southern Barbarians. He was good at mountain combat. He had additional attribute bonuses between the mountains and gullies on the Loess Plateau.

Wang Ping rested for a night, then left the village and marched towards Mafang Town.

In Mafang Town, the local tyrants learned that the lord An Lushan was killed and recruited troops.

Wang Ping led Wudang Feijun and marched quickly and suddenly attacked Mafang Town!

The other party did not expect that Wang Ping led his troops so quickly, and he had no time to send troops to station in various dangerous places. Wang Ping had already broken through the simple defense line they laid in the gully and important areas.

Wudang Feijun was marching like a flying army, shooting arrows while approaching the center of the town, and poisonous arrows with dark purple luster penetrated the defenders' throats.

Wudang Flying Army was as powerful as a bamboo shoot, killing hundreds of defenders in succession.

Wang Ping was cold and ruthless, and faced the disobedient villages and directly suppressed them with force.

The most urgent task is to quickly pacify all villages.

"It seems something is wrong..."

Wang Ping invaded Mafang Town and easily killed him in front of the county government, where there was no one in the county government government.

Mafang Town has a population of tens of thousands, and this town has a population of 8,000 or 10,000, but in fact, Wang Ping did not see much people.

"Not good, I've been trapped and retreated!"

After all, Wang Ping was a famous general of Shu Han. Thinking of the strangeness he saw before attacking Mafang Town, he could not see the officials in the county government, so he made a quick decision and immediately led his troops to retreat.

The Wudang Flying Army was convinced by Wang Ping. No matter what the reason why Wang Ping suddenly ordered the retreat, he firmly obeyed Wang Ping's orders. A group of Wudang Flying Army followed Wang Ping and retreated quickly to the rear.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"They fell into the trap, and the king made a brilliant plan!"

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

In the mountains around Mafang Town, tens of thousands of troops appeared, besieging Wang Ping's Wudang Flying Army who entered Mafang Town.

Wang Ping glanced around, and there were all enemy soldiers all over the mountains!

"This is not the army of Mafang Town!"

The calm Wang Ping was also shocked at this time.

Mafang Town has only a population of tens of thousands, and it is impossible to attract tens of thousands of troops.

These large armies are likely to be soldiers sent by princes from further north to occupy Mafang Town!

At this time, Wang Ping had no reason to stay in Mafang Town to fight with the enemy troops with a much larger number of people than him, but led the Wudang Flying Army to break through the south.

Two thousand Wudang Flying Army could not compete with tens of thousands of enemy troops, especially the number of bows and arrows brought by Wang Ping was limited.

Two thousand Wudang Flying Army, in order to march lightly, only tens of thousands of bows and arrows carried with them.

The Wudang Flying Army shot poisonous arrows in succession, and the enemy soldiers were caught in the arrows. On the way, the enemy soldiers behind us came to encircle and annihilate Wang Ping's Wudang Flying Army!

"You follow me to lead the way, and the rest of the people will use bows and arrows to cover it!"
