Shangqi is just a small city, and after Wei Yan pacified Shangqi, he left hundreds of soldiers and horses and a few officials, and then returned to Ji County.

Half a month has passed in a flash.

Half a month later, Zhang Fei rushed to Ji County to join Liu Chan, and after Liu Yin settled the soldiers of Qishan Fort, he left 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard Qishan Fort, and also led the remaining 7,000 soldiers and horses to Ji County.

This time, in order to attack Yongliang, the Han sent 100,000 troops, first Zhuge Liang sent 50,000 troops, and later Liu Chan increased his troops by 50,000.

Now 27,000 soldiers and horses are guarding stability, 10,000 soldiers and horses are guarding the street pavilion, 35,000 soldiers and horses are in Ji County, and 10,000 soldiers and horses are in Longxi.

In addition, there are also 3,000 defenders of Qishan Fort, 3,000 defenders of Linwei in Guangwei County, and the remaining 3,000 wounded when Deng Ai Town guarded the street pavilion is also in Linwei.

As for the remaining nearly 10,000 vacancies, they were soldiers who died in battle, mainly because they were guarding the street pavilions.

After Zhang Fei and Liu Yin arrived, Liu Chan led 20,000 soldiers and horses from Ji County to Longxi.

And the remaining 15,000 soldiers and horses were handed over to Zhuge Liang and let him sit in Tianshui and dispatch in the center. These 15,000 troops can be used to transport grain and grass, and if the situation changes, it can also be used to reinforce various places.

After all, Cao Pi has 100,000 soldiers and horses, while Zhang Bao and Huang Xu only have more than 20,000 people, so Liu Chan left more than 10,000 people for Zhuge Liang and asked him to keep an eye on stability.

There are few mountains in Liangzhou, Longxi, most of them are cavalry battles, Liu Chan brought 20,000 soldiers and horses, of which 10,000 are cavalry, if it is not too late, Liu Chan also wants to replace the remaining 10,000 foot soldiers and the cavalry that Zhang Fei brought to settle down.

The time is already November 223 AD, and the cool land has entered winter, and Shuofang is coming, and the cold is biting, even if the soldiers are wearing winter clothes, they can't stand it.

But the scout came to report that Cao Pi had already turned the road to attack Anding, and the Han army couldn't do it even if he wanted to stop fighting and rest, because Liangzhou was uncertain, Cao Pi would not give up Yongliang, and only by completely pacifying Liangzhou and pacifying the west of Liupan Mountain, Cao Pi would give up Yongliang.

Longxi is a large county in Yongliang, which can be regarded as the richest county, and its former Taishou You Chu is also a capable minister, and Longxi is well governed, so there is no shortage of grain and grass in the treasury.

The grain and grass in Longxi are enough, so Liu Chan is lightly armed, marching for more than ten days, Liu Chan led the troops to arrive at Xiangwu, the place of Longxi Zhi.

However, Ma Chao Pang De was not in Xiangwu, they led the army on the front line Di Dao, and confronted the Liangzhou soldiers and horses called by Xiahou.

It was Beigong Yan who greeted Liu Chan.

Regarding the matter of Beigong Yan, Liu Chan heard Zhuge Liang say it when he was in Ji County, Liu Chan has not heard of the name Beigong Yan, but Beigong Li, who has a very good relationship with Ma Chao in the wild history, this Liu Chan has heard of it.

In later generations, some people speculated that at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Beigong Chun, the super fierce general who saved Luoyang, was the descendant of Beigong Boyu. Now this Beigong Yan is the grandson of Beigong Boyu, it seems that Beigong Yan should be the ancestor of Beigong Chun.

Outside Xiangwu City, Beigong Chun and the newly appointed Longxi Taishou Shanggong Gong Gong led the city's Chinese martial arts to welcome Liu Chan Shengjia: "Beigong Yan, Weichen Shangguan Yan greets Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Chan helped the two of them up, looked at Beigong Yan, and saw that he was more than eight feet tall and majestic, not only exclaiming: "What a tiger general!" ”

Beigong Yan arched his hand and said: "After the sinner, you should not be praised by Your Majesty, but only ask Your Majesty to forgive the sins below." ”

Beigong Yan is the descendant of Beigong Boyu, during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Beigong Boyu rebelled, and the crime of rebellion was to punish the nine clans. It would be nothing if Beigong Yan took refuge in Wei, but he took refuge in the Han Dynasty, so he still had a rebellious hat on his head.

Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "Your grandfather's rebellion was caused by the mediocrity of the former Han Ling Emperor, what does it have to do with you?" I forgive you for your innocence, not only is you innocent, but You Chu is determined to resist, and you have the credit for helping Meng Qi take Longxi. I have named you General Huben, the Marquis of Guannei, and serve me well! ”

Liu Chan's reward to Beigong Yan, like Jiang Wei, is a miscellaneous general, the Marquis of Guannei. Although Beigong Yan's talent is not as good as Jiang Wei, he has a lot of prestige among the Qiang people, and he may be able to replace Ma Chao in the future to ensure the stability of the Qiang people around Yongliang.

Special talents like Beigong Yan sometimes play a greater role than Jiang Wei, such as the Wei State, it is because of generals like Yan Rou who are good friends with foreign races that the stability of the north is ensured.

If Beigong Yan is used properly, it can also ensure the long-term stability of Liangzhou.

Beigong Yan listened to Liu Chan's words, and immediately bowed to the ground: "The last general thanks Your Majesty Longen, and is willing to lead the horse for Your Majesty to fall and die." ”

"Hurry up, the advanced city is talking."

"Your Majesty, please!"

Beigong Yan hurriedly welcomed Liu Chan into the city, everyone came to the mansion, the brazier was lit in the hall, and there were attendants bringing hot tea, a cup of hot tea in the stomach, Liu Chan felt that his body was gradually warming.

It is no wonder that Zhuge Liang died young in history, as if Liu Chan was as strong as an ox, and he couldn't stand it after fighting in the cool and bitter cold land for so long.

Liu Chan held the hot tea in his hand and asked Beigong Yan, "How is the situation on Meng Qi's side now?" ”

Beigong Yan replied, "Uncle Ma...... General Ma arrived at Didao after has been holding out, Xiahou said that he first led 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack, but General Ma could not, so he retreated to the small city of Guguan, during this time, Liangzhou Thorn Shi Xu Miao successively increased troops to Guguan, plus Xiahou said that the soldiers and horses, there were nearly 40,000 people.

However, in addition to the 10,000 soldiers called by Xiahou, the other 30,000 soldiers and horses are mostly county soldiers, as well as Qiang soldiers borrowed from the surrounding Qiang tribes. ”

Pang Tong smiled when he heard this: "With Meng Qi's prestige among the Qiang people, Xu Miao recruited the Qiang people to come and make up the number, but he brought about his own destruction." It's better to choose elite and reliable people and defend the city, so that you can last a little longer. ”

Wei Yan laughed and said, "Sikong, how could Xu Miao have imagined that His Majesty would build a city in a month?" He summoned so many soldiers and horses for a counterattack, and now that the Wei army is blocked east of Liupan Mountain, it can't come at all, and Xu Miao gathered so many rabble, but he has to suffer for himself. ”

"Haha, Wen Chang's words are good!" Pang Tong smiled and said to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are very fast, taking advantage of Xiahou's claim that Xu Miao has not yet retreated and returned to Liangzhou, he should quickly lead his troops to Guguan and fight with the Wei army." If he retreats to Liangzhou and selects elite troops to garrison, it will be a little troublesome to pacify Liangzhou. ”

Liu Chan nodded and said: "According to Sikong's words, I will rest in Xiangwu for one night tonight, and tomorrow I will rush to Di Dao to fight with the Wei army!" ”
