"It's about a hundred miles west of Wangcheng Valley. It's said to be the camp of the White Horse Qiang."

"General, why don't you take this opportunity to send someone to make friends with the Qiang people, so as to help our army and protect my rear?"

Ma Su did not hesitate at all and confidently revealed his plan.

"Befriend the Baima Qiang and ask them to send troops?"

As soon as these words came out, after Zhao Tong listened, a trace of surprise appeared on his face unconsciously. After a moment, he was filled with a little confusion and asked in a tone full of doubts:

"I heard that the White Horse Qiang King Yang Ju seems to have no intention of getting involved in the war between our army and Cao Fang."

"Can this be done?"

Ma Su suggested this, but even though Zhao Tongtong had always been confident, at this moment he had no confidence at all whether he could persuade the Baima Qiang further west to help.

Just asking tentatively.

"General, I heard that although Yang Ju is still nominally the Qiang King and is in charge of the camp, in fact all the military power of the clan is concentrated in the hands of his son Yang Wanwan."

"Almost all affairs in the clan are handled by him."

"And he has always been ambitious and unwilling to stick to the Qiang land, so I can win over him and use him for my use!"

"But I don't know Yang Wanwan personally!"

"How can he help me?"

Zhao Tongsui also responded quite calmly.

He knew very well that it was not easy to persuade the various ethnic groups of the Xiqiang to help.

Previously, Shenlang Qiang sent troops to help, although this had a lot to do with his desire to challenge the warriors of the entire tribe and conquer the Qiang people with his own bravery.

But it was also because of Ni Hong's mediation.

If there were no two princes to act as intermediaries and build bridges, King Shenlang Qiang might not buy it.

Zhao Tong still saw this very clearly.

Hearing this, Ma Su's face was still full of joy, and he smiled lightly and said: "Did the general forget about General Ma Mengqi?"

Say it in one sentence.

After about half a moment of greeting each other, Zhao Tong's expression suddenly turned from gloomy to happy.

After being reminded, he remembered that Ma Chao and Yang Wanwan seemed to be inseparable.

"You Chang reminded me that I almost forgot about this."

"During the Hanzhong War last year, Yang Wanwan responded to General Ma's call and was responsible for recruiting surrounding tribes to gather together and launch a counterattack against Cao's army."

"I will send an envoy to visit you in the name of General Ma."

He spoke eloquently.

Zhao Tong was also extremely decisive and quickly finalized the plan.

He was not familiar with Yang Wanwan's personality.

I don’t know if Ma Chao will pay attention to me in his absence.

But if you think about it carefully, you can feel that Ma Di's proposed strategy of stationing the main force in Longsang City to recharge your batteries and attract enemy troops to come is definitely a good strategy.

After hearing this policy, Zhao Tong did not blindly follow it.

Instead, he first focused his eyes on the map.

Look at the terrain around Longsang City.

There are barriers on several sides!

According to this place, reinforcements from the Longxi garrison or Cao soldiers from other counties could only come from the front.

To the west of Wangcheng Valley, except for the more powerful Baima Qiang camp.

Further to the northwest, there are the Shaodang Qiang who are equally powerful and should not be underestimated.

Surrounding places such as Panhan, Heguan, Daxia, and Baishi.

There are also large and small Xiqiang tribes gathered here.

There are so many Qiang people there.

Entering Longsang City is equivalent to occupying a favorable situation in Longxi.

Cao's generals had no choice but to come to fight.

At this moment, Zhao Tong also understood through the map that if he made friends with the Qiang people, he could ensure the defense of the west side of Wangcheng Valley.

Once Cao Jun was ordered to persuade the surrounding tribes to help him.

On the contrary, one's own side will be put in danger.

Encircled by enemy troops.

Just do it.

This policy was just mentioned.

Zhao Tong thought for a short time and felt that it was feasible, so he immediately started to implement it.

First, he wrote a personal letter and used Ma Chao's reputation to pay him a visit.

As for Shaodang Qiang, they also sent messengers.

Can we convince the two powerful Qiang camps this time?

It will be related to the direction of the war situation between the two sides.

Make arrangements to get to know the Qiang people.

Next, Zhao Tong began to arrange and build the camp and arrange his troops.

Within a short period of time.

I saw that along the camp outline of Longsang City, the defense lines displayed by the soldiers of each department were so tight.

Looking at it at a glance, one can only lament the "watertight" defense.

And just when Zhao Tong was rushing to repair the camp.

Dido aspect.

Fei Yao, who had already received reports that the southwestern border was being ravaged by enemy forces one after another, was naturally very worried!

He serves as a major military general in charge of one side.

If even the invading thieves cannot be eliminated.

Then his sin is huge!

Therefore.

When I heard that the main force of Zhao Tong's troops who were ravaging the territory had set up camp near Longsang City, preparing to use this place as a foothold to support the military report that invaded and radiated other territories.

His vision is also quite unique.

The Shu army's plan was quickly revealed.

Between the big tents.

As the main forces of various ministries were assembled one after another.

Fei Yao, who is the commander-in-chief, has now moved from the county mansion to the military tent to facilitate the management of military affairs.

At this moment, he stood proudly at the top, looking around at the generals on the left and right sides of the camp, his face became more and more serious, and his tone was extremely sharp.

Pointing to Longsang City hanging on the screen, he solemnly said: "This place is the most important border defense town in the central and southwestern part of the county."

"If the Shu army can gain a foothold here, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"At that time, the enemy will be able to attack or defend, and the battle situation will be completely in control. The situation will be extremely unfavorable to our army!"

The words fell here.

He then paused for a moment, cleared his throat, and the expression on his face seemed to have deepened again, and said sternly: "But that's not all, this is not the most important thing."

"To the west of this place, past Wangcheng Valley, is Baima, Shaodang, the two major Qiang camps."

"And there are many Qiang tribes scattered in the surrounding cities."

"If the leader of the Shu army can persuade the Qiang leaders, he can unite all forces."

"The situation will be completely out of control for our army!"

After saying this, Fei Yao's originally somewhat relaxed face gradually turned livid as he slowly analyzed the battle situation.

Probably because the Shu army chose the right place to camp.

It can be said that his lifeline has just been blocked.

If this response is not handled properly or is careless, everything will be lost!

Naturally, he couldn't help but worry about this matter.

"What General Fei said is true!"

"It is said that last year, the leader of the Shu bandits, Zhao Tong'er, went deep into the Shenlang Qiang camp and challenged all the warriors of the clan alone. As a result, he was highly respected and convinced by the Qiang people in the clan."

"There is no guarantee that he will not gather Baima, Shaodang and other surrounding tribes this time."

"This matter must be guarded against!"

As soon as these words were spoken.
Chapter completed!
