"The General of Destiny is attacking Xianyang. My uncle asked me to hold back the Jurchens from Hedong. When the time comes, you can all be granted the title of general and lieutenant."

Xie Xuan, the chief general of the Northern Prefecture Army, received a letter from his uncle Xie An. He obeyed Xie An's arrangements, so he recruited generals from the Northern Prefecture Army to announce his decision.

"General, please rest assured that the barracks in our town can still recruit a group of Northern Army troops. The Jurchens can't do anything to us within three months."

"Everything is only the general's order!"

The Northern Army followed Xie Xuan's horse. Xie Xuan's status in the Northern Army was similar to Chen Qingzhi's position in the White-Board Army. Xie Xuan was more proactive than Chen Qingzhi who had no desires and no desires.

Xie Xuan had territory in Hedong. With the Northern Prefecture Army, he restrained Wanyan Zongwang's Jin army, making it impossible for Wanyan Zongwang to march into Guanzhong in the chaos.

In the Qin army's camp, Qin Xiaogong took Shang Yang to comfort tens of thousands of Qin troops.

Zhang He, a military general of the Wei State, entered the Qin army camp and met with Qin Xiaogong and Meng Tian.

Zhang He has experienced many battles and his abilities are not much worse than Meng Tian.

Zhang He was quite moved when he saw the famous general Meng Tian of ancient times.

This time, they want to join forces to fight against Zhang Hua, who dominates Guanzhong.

"Our general and the tiger and leopard cavalry are right behind."

Zhang He was treated by Meng Tian, ​​and Meng Tian could feel the amazing momentum of Zhang He.

Zhang He was the commander and had both first-class military power. He was also a veteran who experienced the experience of the veteran during the sixth period of his trip to Qishan. Therefore, Meng Tian also attached great importance to Zhang He.

"In the Battle of Weishui, in order to stop the Xia army from crossing the river, I killed thousands of people from the other side, and my own losses were almost the same. The Golden Fire Cavalry lost 400 people. Unfortunately, my troops were not as strong as the other side, and the other side could divide their troops to cross the river."

Meng Tian mentioned the previous battle situation and had a expressionless face.

Zhang He privately suspected that Meng Tian was a facial paralysis because Meng Tian always had a stern face.

In fact, Meng Tian didn't want the soldiers under his command to see the chief general's ideas to stabilize the morale of the army.

"Is Xia Jun really so strong?"

Zhang He fell into silence.

He already knew that the tiger crazy Xu Chu was right opposite him, but unfortunately, Xu Chu didn't know Zhang He yet.

Meng Tian said: "With thousands of people delaying my 70,000 army, the Xia army is indeed unstoppable. But it is not without a chance to win."

"Wang, generals, General Cao Zhen's main force has arrived!"

When Zhang He learned about the Xia army from Meng Tian, ​​Cao Zhen, the general of Cao Wei, personally led 50,000 Wei troops and 20,000 Di troops to join the alliance.

The Wei army, the Di army was strong and the horse was full of murderous aura, and the Wei army flags were fluttering in the wind.

There were 30,000 defenders in Xianyang City, 70,000 Qin troops, 80,000 Wei troops, and 20,000 Di troops in the camps outside the city, totaling about 200,000 soldiers and horses.

Cao Zhen ordered Guo Huai to build a camp, and then brought Wang Shuang and other military generals into Meng Tian's camp.

Cao Zhen has good personal force and has generals such as Wang Shuang. Cao Zhen believes that Meng Tian will not be stupid enough to have internal strife at this time.

Cao Wei not only had power in Guanzhong, but also in Guandong, there were forces established by Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao. It was an enemy of Cao Zhen, which was equivalent to the relationship with Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao in the future.

"King."

Cao Zhen gave Qin Xiaogong a lot of face.

After all, Duke Xiao of Qin was the king of the Warring States Period.

Qin Xiaogong glanced at the military generals around Cao Zhen. The most eye-catching one was not Cao Zhen, but the fierce general Wang Shuang, but a barbarian general who roared like a beast from time to time.

This barbarian general is arrogant and full of irritable and bloodthirsty aura. His force seems to be much stronger than Wang Shuang and Cao Zhen.

"General Cao Zhen is exempted from the gift."

Duke Xiao of Qin did not put on airs. Cao Zhen was not his general, he just gave him face.

"I led a hundred thousand troops to compete with Zhang Hua. I will wait for the camp to be set up and see Zhang Hua's deployment tomorrow."

Before this, Cao Zhen had never fought with Zhang Hua and had limited knowledge of Zhang Hua.

The next day, Qin Xiaogong, Meng Tian and Cao Zhen led their personal soldiers to a high place to observe the Xia army's camp.

The Xia army leaned against the Wei River and set up two camps, east and west. Between the two camps, there was a reinforced river-crossing bridge, and horse-drawn carriages continuously transported food and grass from Chang'an to Xianyang.

Zhang Hua is no longer the lord who was inexperienced at the time. At this time, all the arrangements were tense and orderly, and everything was under control.

Ming Dynasty craftsman Kuai Xiang led a team of bridge experts to strengthen the pontoon bridge so that a large carriage could pass by.

In this way, it is easy to dispatch troops to attack Xianyang or transport supplies, food and grass.

"If there is a navy force that burns the floating bridge, the Xia army that crosses the river will be defeated!"

As a general of Cao Wei, Cao Zhen could see at a glance the weaknesses of Zhang Hua's deployment.

The Xia army was divided into two parts, the main force crossed the river, established Xiyingluo, besieged Xianyang, and the partial army stayed on the Chang'an side, established Dongyingluo, and transported food and grass.

If Cao Zhen had a navy and burned the wooden bridge connecting the two camps with fire boats, the Xia army besieged Xianyang would be isolated and Cao Zhen could win.

Unfortunately, Cao Zhen thought of the fear of being dominated by the Eastern Wu Navy.

The Wei River and Jing River have been completely controlled by the fleets of Sun Shangxiang, Zhou Tai and Chen Qingzhi. In other words, even if Cao Zhen thought of it, he could not implement the strategy of breaking the enemy by fire attacking the wooden bridge.

Meng Tian observed the Xia Army's East-West Battalion and the Bridge, and frowned.

Zhang Hua has experienced many battles, and with the participation of Li Ji, Chen Gong and other strategists in the deployment of the camp, Zhang Hua's deployment can almost be said to be indefinitely leaked.

Zhang Hua also knew that wooden bridges were weaknesses, but Zhang Hua had a powerful navy who could do whatever he wanted.

"The Xia army built more than 30 cities and villages to connect on our side. If we want to defeat the Xia army quickly, we can only attack the opponent's villages."

Cao Zhen narrowed his eyes, weighing whether he wanted to attack the Xia army camp.

The straitor of Cao Zhen's power said: "No. Now Zhang Hua is the one who is eager to attack. Xianyang City is solid, and the Xia army must not only attack the city, but also guard against us. As long as you delay and you can win without any effort."

“With that being said…”

Qin Xiaogong was in a heavy mood.

Although the drag-on technique is effective, the problem is that Zhang Hua fought in Qin Xiaogong's territory and surrounded Qin Xiaogong's main city, so Qin Xiaogong's forces could not farm well.

In contrast, Zhang Hua's Xia City, Chang'an City, and Cao Zhen's Chen Cang City were not as affected as Qin Xiaogong.

If the two sides confront each other for a long time, then the world where only Qin Xiaogong was injured will be completed...

Meng Tian also realized the problem.

The straitor said: "When Li Zicheng goes south and attacks Sanyuan County, Meiyuan County, or Wanyan Zongwang unifies Hedong and attacks Linjin County, Zhang Hua will be defeated."

"Then wait a little longer."

Qin Xiaogong chose to endure for the time being, waiting for other forces to send troops to break the balance.

At the Xia Army Camp, Zhang Hua summoned all the generals and began to attack Meng Tian and Cao Zhen's camps.

Zhang Hua had no intention of attacking the strong Xianyang City.

As long as you defeat Meng Tian and Cao Zhen, there will be no reinforcements outside, Xianyang City will be destroyed without attack.

Under the premise that Meng Tian and Cao Zhen were eyeing each other, they were undoubtedly seeking death.

"Deng Ai, Zhao Ponu, Cheng Mingzhen, and Lu Lingqi, you lead four cavalry to go deep into the enemy's back, disrupt its food routes, and intercept the defenders who transported food. When the enemy's morale is shaken due to shortage of food, we attack its camps and destroy its large army."

Zhang Hua's heart is as clear as a mirror. At this time, he is back to Chang'an, Guanzhong, Heluo, and Shangzhou's food and grass are continuously transported to the front line. Therefore, as long as the King of Rebellion Li Zicheng and the Jurchen Wanyan Zongwang do not interfere in Guanzhong, the only person who perseveres until the end will be Zhang Hua.

Zhang Hua was in large-scale farming in Weibei, Weinan, Heluo and other places, with food, grass and supplies continuously, and not many princes could afford to waste him.

"Here!"

Deng Ai, Zhao Ponu, Cheng Mingzhen and Lu Lingqi each led 5,000 cavalry to carry out the task of destroying the other party's food route.

The Wei River was controlled by the Xia Navy. Cao Zhen could only transport the food and grass from Chencang to Youfufeng by horse and ox carts, and then transported to Xianyang.

In this way, Cao Zhen's food route was quite long.

Therefore, Zhang Hua sent four cavalrymen to specifically cut off the opponent's food route.

The Five Tiger Generals of the Great Xia always stayed in the Xia army camp.

As long as Cao Zhen dares to send troops to encircle and suppress the cavalry sent by Zhang Hua to cut off food, Zhang Hua will immediately attack the opponent's camp.

Hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides confronted each other, waiting for each other to reveal their flaws.

Cao Zhen began to find that something was wrong, and the Wei army's baggage team began to be attacked by Xia cavalry.

So Cao Zhen sent some cavalry to protect the food road.

Both sides began to attack and defend around the food road.

"Let me go and fight back the enemy cavalry that invaded the food route."

The Di general recommended himself.

Cao Zhen looked at this brave Di general, and his bravery was still above Wang Shuang.

Seeing this person volunteering, Cao Zhen agreed: "If you lead your tribe troops and defeat the invading enemy, I will entrust you with important tasks."

"I will tear the enemy to pieces in the future."

The Di generals took three thousand Di cavalrymen to leave the camp and go to protect the food trucks.
