Early the next morning, Ma Chao led 10,000 troops to kill Nan'an, capturing Nan'an in the west and the two counties of Longxi.

Zhang Fei led 10,000 soldiers and horses to the east to seize Guangwei and settle the two counties.

As for Zhuge Liang, he is naturally responsible for taking Tianshui County.

Although Ma Chao's scouts detected Guo Huai and Tianshui Taishou Ma Zun patrolling outside, they did not know their specific location.

But it doesn't matter if you know it or not, after Zhuge Liang sorted out the affairs of Xicheng, he directly led his troops to Ji County.

Ji County is the seat of Tianshui County, as long as Ji County is taken, it is equivalent to taking Tianshui, no matter where you are too guarded by the history of assassination.

Ji County is located in the north of Xicheng, but a hundred miles away, Zhuge Liang led an army of 20,000 people, all the way straight in, along the way, the castle defenders were afraid, all surrendered without resistance.

After only two days of marching, it was only thirty miles away from Ji County.

And at this moment, Tianshui is too guarded by Ma Zun, Yongzhou is still in Xianqin County, north of Ji County.

"Taishou, it's a big deal!" Late that night, a soldier rushed into the palace to see Ma Zun.

"What's going on and how is panicking?" Ma Zun had just fallen asleep when he heard the voice of the soldier, and opened the door and scolded the soldier.

The soldier was out of breath and said: "Zhuge Liang raised 100,000 troops to attack Tianshui, and then divided his troops and horses to the west to seize the two counties of Nan'an and Longxi, and divided his troops Zhang Fei to the east to seize the two counties of Anding in Guangwei.

Zhuge Liang personally led an army of 70,000 people to Ji County, and the defenders all surrendered along the way, and now it is less than 30 miles away from Ji County. ”

Ma Zun was shocked when he heard this: "How is it possible, Zhuge Liang is seriously ill, how can he come to my Tianshui?" ”

"It's true, it's too shou."

"Quick, come with me to inform the assassin!" Ma Zun suppressed the panic in his heart and hurriedly walked towards Guo Huai's residence.

When Ma Zun came to Guo Huai's residence, Guo Huai was already packing up.

"Guo Tingshi's big event is not good......"

Guo Huai turned around and saw that it was Ma Zun, waved his hand and said: "I know about Zhuge Liang's dispatch of troops, but I only hate that I didn't take Zhongda's letter to heart a few days ago, otherwise I would have returned to Jicheng."

Now Zhuge Liang is less than thirty miles away from Ji County, and it is too late for us to return to Ji County, even if we arrive in Ji County before Zhuge Liang, we have no time to fortify, so we can only turn around to Shangbang and wait for reinforcements. ”

Ma Zun said worriedly: "Although the city of Shangbang is strong, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop Zhuge Liang's 100,000 soldiers and horses, so it is better to retreat to Guanzhong......"

Guo Huai's eyes widened, and he shouted: "Bastard, you and I have heavy responsibilities, and now we can't go to guard Ji County, how can we abandon the land and flee?"

And where did Zhuge Liang get the 100,000 soldiers and horses? Hanzhong, Yangping, Guanwudu add up to only 80,000 people, if you use Yizhou soldiers and horses, how can I not know? Zhuge Liang only has 70,000 or 80,000 people at most, 100,000 soldiers and horses, but Zhuge Liang is just bluffing.

I have been running Yongliang for several years, Guangwei Taishou, Longxi Taishou is a loyal minister, will not surrender, when Zhuge Liang can not take Longyou, our army reinforcements arrive, Liangzhou Xiahou General will also raise troops to help, then you can counterattack, you quickly pack up, with me to Shangbang. ”

Ma Zun breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Guo Huai's analysis, and hurriedly said, "No! ”

Ma Zun then prepared to pack up, originally Ma Zun also wanted to call a few subordinates who followed him, but suddenly thought about it: "As soon as Zhuge Liang came, the defenders along the way surrendered one after another, most of my subordinates were locals, and Ma Chao was very prestigious in Liangzhou, those people were afraid of Ma Chao's name, maybe they would surrender."

I still call my subordinates from other places, and as for the locals of Tianshui, I won't bring them, lest they follow me to Shangbang, and I want to surrender to the Shu army in fear, which will be a big deal. ”

Thinking of this, Ma Zun only called a few subordinates from other places, and none of the local subordinates were brought, and then they joined Guo Huai, and the group rode to Shangbang on fast horses.

The sound of horses' hooves outside the mansion door protruded, and in a side room of the mansion, a young man suddenly sat up from the bed: "Huh? Where did the sound of horses' hooves come from! So rushed? ”

There was also some noise in the palace, and the young man was restless, got up and put on his clothes and walked out.

This young man is about in his early twenties, seven feet eight inches tall, with a tiger's back and a wolf's waist, mighty, with a white face and beard, handsome and full of heroic face, not inferior to Ma Chao when he was young.

The young man went out of the room, heard some movement in the side room not far away, and hurriedly walked out, and saw that a subordinate was packing up, so he stopped the subordinate and asked, "Why are you packing up in the middle of the night?" Who was the sound of horses' hooves just now? ”

"Oh, Zhuge Liang has hit Ji County, and the assassin Shi Taishou has fled to Shangbang, if you don't run for your life, what are you stopping me for!" The subordinate pushed Jiang Wei away, screamed and ran out with the baggage.

"How so?" The young man's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly ran to Ma Zun's room, which was already empty, and he was inquiring about Guo Huai's room, and the bed was already cold.

The young man hurriedly called a few colleagues and went to chase after Ma Zun.

It's just that Ma Zun has been gone for a long time, and when he left, he rode away the good horses, and only a few bad horses remained, and everyone chased them for half an hour, but they didn't catch up.

"Boyo, time is short, Taishou is too late to take us, abandon us and go!" Tianshui Gong Cao Liangxu said to the young man with a resentful expression.

The young man sighed and said, "Didn't you notice? I've just seen that the subordinate officials under the command of Lord Assassin Shi are all gone, and under the command of Lord Taishou, there are also a few henchmen, and most of those people are from Guanzhong. And several of us are all Tianshui locals.

Now that Zhuge Liang is here to kill and assassinate Shi, Taishou is not that he has no time to call us, but he is afraid that we will surrender and make a mistake, so he abandons us and leaves! ”

In this case, Ma Zun naturally believed that there were more people in Guanzhong, Zhuge Liang was killed, and the locals of Tianshui took care of their families and might surrender in the face of a strong enemy.

And outsiders, if they want to go back alive to reunite with their families, they naturally have to resist desperately.

Listening to the young man's words, Liang Qian, the master of Tianshui, said angrily: "We are loyal to the Great Wei, and now we have not fought against a strong enemy, so we suspect us and others, it is really unreasonable, it is better to go to the Shu Kingdom!" ”

"That is, since Taishou doesn't trust us, why bother to work for him and simply go to the Shu army!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Liang Qian looked at him and asked, "What are you going to do, Boyo?" ”

The young man groaned: "Wei has not been in charge of Liangzhou for many years, and I have no feelings for Wei, but our relatives are mostly in Tianshui, if we vote for Shu, if Shu loses, we will have to be separated from our relatives from now on, let's go back to show that our relatives are doing calculations first!" ”

"Yes, this has to be thought through, let's go back first."

The group followed the young man's advice, returned to his relatives, and came to the city, only to find that the gates were closed.

It turned out that the city guard had received an order from Guo Huai to take strict precautions and not allow anyone to enter or leave the city. When everyone went out of the city, the guards were still reorganizing their troops and horses, and they didn't have time to come, and when everyone came back, the guards had already controlled the city gates.
