At the beginning, Feng Ji was brought into Guanzhong by Yuan Tan, but Yuan Tan wanted to expand the façade.

However, the coalition forces have gathered talents, and the stars are shining, and even Xu Yu rarely performs at the time.

As for Feng Ji, his role in the coalition army was minimal, and he did not have the slightest sense of existence, so Yuan Tan simply let Feng Ji return to Jizhou.

Although the scout detected the information and said that the direction of Yanmen County was bluffing by the state army, Feng Ji still felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Feng Ji walked back and forth in the house, and after a long time, he said to himself: "Could it be that the battle situation in Guanzhong has changed?" ”

The more Feng Ji thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, he was worried about Yuan Tan's safety, but he was too far away and didn't know much about the detailed battle situation in Guanzhong.

"Sir, sir, something is wrong!"

At this moment, General Yuan barged in, with a look of horror on his face, and shouted loudly.

Feng Ji hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "But the lord's army was defeated?" ”

General Yuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head vigorously, and said: "The lord is fine, it's just that the Guanzhong cavalry has entered the hinterland of Youzhou, burning and looting all the way, and the soldiers are directed at Jixian, the capital of Youzhou!" ”

Feng Ji was shocked when he heard this, and shouted: "It is impossible, I led the troops to garrison the Ban clan, and did not let go of a soldier from Bingzhou into Youzhou!" ”

General Yuan said: "This cavalry did not enter Youzhou from Daijun, but directly bypassed the Great Wall from outside the Saiwai, and then entered Yuyang County, and then from Yuyang County to Guangyang County. ”

When Feng Ji heard this, he still shook his head in disbelief and said: "It's not long since spring has just begun, if this cavalry wants to go around Yuyang County from outside the Saiwai, it will already be set aside last winter." ”

"It's so cold outside, how can they survive?"

General Yuan was also puzzled and said: "The last general didn't know about this matter, but he reported to the scout that this cavalry was indeed killed from outside the fortress." ”

Although Feng Ji felt that it was impossible, but the facts were in front of him, he could only accept it, and continued to ask: "How many soldiers and horses does this cavalry have, and who is the commander?" ”

General Yuan replied: "There are about 20,000 cavalry, but the commander of this army is a nobody, it is said that his name is Deng Ai, and he has just won the championship this year. ”

The look of consternation on Feng Ji's face became more and more intense, and he muttered in disbelief: "I never thought that Chen Wenzhao would dare to appoint a young man who had just reached the crown to lead the cavalry through the outside of the fortress in the cold winter. ”

This kind of thing, don't say that Feng Ji can't believe it, I'm afraid that even Zhuge Liang and others will have such a reaction when they hear this.

After all, Saiwai is already a bitter cold place, and it is even more difficult to march in winter, facing cold and death at any time, and it is also very likely to get lost.

Even those famous generals in Guanzhong may not dare to act like this, let alone a teenager who has just won the crown and has no experience in leading troops.

General Yuan seemed to think of something, and said: "By the way, in addition to Deng Ai, there are two deputy generals who are Tang Chen and Zhao Huang. ”

Feng Ji heard the names of these two people, and thought about it for a long time before it suddenly dawned on him.

"I'll just say, how can a hairy boy cross the Saiwai in winter and make a detour to the hinterland of Youzhou."

"Thinking that Zhao Huang and Tang Chen, one writer and one martial artist, although they are not famous generals, they have also followed Zhao Yun to fight on the battlefield for decades, and they used to be horse thieves outside the Saiwai Fortress, and they know the terrain outside the Saiwai very well."

"If what I expected is correct, the Guanzhong cavalry will be able to pass through the outside of the fortress in the cold winter this time, thanks to the work of these two people!"

In fact, Feng Ji's speculation is indeed true, if there is no Zhao Huang and Tang Chen, it is absolutely impossible for Deng Ai to lead the troops through the Saiwai.

Rao is like this, the Guanzhong cavalry traveled all the way, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses also suffered nearly 10,000 casualties.

Of the 10,000 cavalry lost, some were killed in a battle with the Xianbei tribe on the way, some were frozen to death because they couldn't withstand the severe cold, and some disappeared after falling behind.

Just along the way, 10,000 cavalry were lost, and such casualties were not insignificant.

It must be known that the construction of cavalry is very difficult, and for a long time, Guanzhong only had 10,000 cavalry.

These 30,000 cavalry were also quietly formed by Chen Xu in Liangzhou, and a lot of manpower and material resources were consumed for this, so that there was no spare strength to recruit too many other troops.

After years of hard work, a third of the casualties were lost in just one long journey, and the casualties were absolutely appalling.

"Did Zhao Yun accompany him?"

Feng Ji knew that Zhao Huang and Tang Chen were Zhao Yun's deputy generals, and the two were almost inseparable from Zhao Yun.

Yuan Jiang shook his head and said, "Zhao Yun has been in Chang'an City, otherwise if he disappears for so long, how can the lord not send a message." ”

"The commander of the Guanzhong cavalry this time is Deng Ai, who has just won the crown."

When Feng Ji heard this, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then secretly thought to himself: "Although the Guanzhong cavalry unexpectedly attacked the hinterland of Youzhou, the person who commanded the troops this time was not a general, and his ability was limited. ”

"That Zhao Huang and Tang Chen, although they have been on the battlefield for many years and have made great contributions, they are still worse than those famous generals."

"In this way, the threat of 20,000 cavalry will be reduced a lot."

Thinking of this, thinking of the fact that the Bingzhou army in the direction of Yanmen County has been bluffing, Feng Ji immediately realized.

"It was meant to attract my attention so that this cavalry would not be discovered."

Thinking of this, Feng Ji immediately snorted coldly a few times and gave an order: "Pass my military order, leave a thousand soldiers to defend Ban's, and don't leave the city no matter what." ”

"The rest of the men and horses will follow me and go and destroy that cavalry!"

In Feng Ji's opinion, although the combat effectiveness of 20,000 cavalry is strong, if they want to cause chaos in Youzhou, they still have to be inferior.

It must be known that cavalry is not good at attacking cities, and there are county soldiers in each city, and even the people can be recruited to defend the city.

If the walls are clear, and the city is not fighting, this cavalry that goes deep into the hinterland of Youzhou will soon be forced into a desperate situation due to lack of food.

This time, Feng Ji also wanted to exterminate the 20,000 Guanzhong cavalry, and made a great contribution.

Under the city of Jixian County, the flag is fluttering.

Deng Ai was dressed in black clothes and black armor, and after a long march, the youthful aura on his face also dissipated a lot.

"Ah Ai, the city of Jixian is tall, how can we break through the city?"

Zhao Huang looked at the tall city wall in front of him, and then looked back at the soldiers with tired faces on his fists, and his face couldn't help but show a lot of worry.

Deng Ai turned his head to look at Zhao Huang, and said with a smile: "Why do you want to capture Jixian?" ”

Zhao Huang was stunned when he heard this, and asked puzzledly: "Since Ah Ai didn't come to capture Jixian County, why did he come non-stop after entering Yuyang County?" ”

After the army crossed the Saiwai and arrived in Yuyang County, it was already sleepy and tired, and there were heavy casualties along the way, so many soldiers wanted to stop and rest at that time.

It's just that Deng Ai tried his best to defy public opinion, bypassed the Great Wall non-stop, and then directly killed Guangyang County, and the soldiers pointed directly at Ji County, the capital of Youzhou.
