Two hundred and ten miles west of Shangtai City, there is Luomen, also known as Luomen. On both sides of the Weishui, there are mountains like gates, standing between the water. Although the mountain is not high, it is extremely steep. The mountain is full of rocks and trees, and the water under the mountain is rushing. It was winter, and the water level of Weishui dropped, revealing a river beach, which could be used for pedestrians and marches, but the large and small pebbles made it not very convenient for the war horses to walk.

In the depths of the mountains and forests on the north side of Weishui, there is a small village, called Luomenju, where dozens of families originally lived, opened some wasteland between the valleys, planted some crops, herded sheep, and then went into the mountains to hunt some wild things, and went to Weishui to catch some fish, and lived a hard life, but it was also comfortable. In these turbulent times, it's almost a paradise.

However, there is not a single common person in sight in Luomenju now, only the soldiers who are pressed by the black pressure.

They were the Shu Han army that hurried here to ambush in the starry night, and they were the main force that Ma Tan had just withdrawn from Yuzhong.

Ma Tan got the news of Zhang He before Zhuge Liang, he was far away in Yuzhong, and he knew that the direction in which the Wei army's reinforcements might appear was either Longshan or Xiaoguan. Once the Wei army appears here, he is very dangerous. Zhuge Liang of Shangtai wants to withdraw to Qishan for only a hundred miles, but he has eight or nine hundred miles, and it is not possible to have enough time to react.

So he put the scout far away in the Anding area. Anding has been surrendered, where not only can you get food supplies, but you can also watch Anden's every move by the way, including possible reinforcements and those who want to be wall-to-wall. So two days after Zhang He appeared in Stabilizing, Ma Jian got the news. As soon as he got the news, he reacted, withdrawing his troops from Yuzhong on the one hand, and taking his personal guards on the other, and hurried to Shangqi to meet Zhuge Liang. Just when Zhuge Liang and everyone disagreed, he arrived in time and set up a plan with Zhuge Liang to ambush Zhang He.

Ma Tan, like Zhuge Liang, is eager to make meritorious contributions. When others see dangers, they see opportunities in them. Zhang He is the hope of the Longyou Wei army, and it is also where their confidence lies. Defeating Zhang He can crush the hopes of the Wei army. And Zhang He came from afar, seemingly a divine soldier descending from the sky, and the momentum was amazing. In fact, he is at the end of his crossbow, far less powerful than he seems.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang dared to set up a large array under Shangqi City with an army of 40,000, preparing to face Zhang He with a dignified array. defeated Zhang He in front of Guo Huai, so Ma Jian dared to urge the army to rush to Luomen and prepare to ambush Zhang He.

Ma Tan and Zhuge Liang have the same opinion, Zhang He is a famous general of the Wei army, and he is known for his changeable use of troops, he will not be unclear about his strength. Directly led 10,000 elite horsemen to relieve the siege of Shangqi. Obviously not a stupid thing for a famous person like him to do. His greatest possibility was to take advantage of Ma Tan's eagerness to rush back to Shangtai for reinforcements to meet Ma Tan.

The 30,000 tired soldiers who ambushed Ma Jian with 10,000 elite cavalry greatly increased the chance of victory compared to the large array that attacked Zhuge Liang under Shangtai City. And once Ma Tan is annihilated, or he is severely damaged. Then the morale of the Shu Han army will be frustrated, and Zhang He can also get supplies from the spoils of war to replenish his strength, and turn back to fight Zhuge Liang.

Ma Tan hoped for this result, he got the news first, rushed to Luomen before Zhang He, and waited for Zhang He to throw himself into the net.

The danger of Luomen is not only known to Zhang He, but also to Ma Tan and Zhuge Liang, because Zhuge Liang has a Jiang Wei from Ji County by his side. Jiang Wei is a good soldier, and he naturally knows the dangerous places near his hometown. A place like Lomon, of course, would not be out of his mind.

In addition to hearing about it from Jiang Wei, Ma Jian himself has also passed by here many times. Before attacking Longxi County, and later marching into Yuzhong, he passed through Luomen. At that time, the water was still too big to march on the river beach, but Ma Tan made a short stop here to study the terrain of Lommen. It has been recorded in the history books that Emperor Guangwu was in the middle of the uprising, and the general of the big tree, Feng Yixi, was in the hustle and bustle, and he died of illness in Luomen. Feng Yi is a native of Yingchuan's father's city, not far from Xiangyang, Ma Jian is very clear about his deeds, and now that he is in Longyou, he naturally wants to come and pay his respects.

The heroes see the same thing, everyone has chosen Lomon, so it's up to who can seize Lomen first. As soon as Ma Tan heard the news of Zhang He's appearance, he made a decision without waiting to ask Zhuge Liang for instructions, the purpose was to grab this time.

He seized Luomen, and Zhang He was his prey, if Zhang He was allowed to seize Luomen. Then he became Zhang He's prey.

Now, he has seized this opportunity and can sit back and wait for Zhang He to enter the court.

Ma Tan stood under a big tree, holding a book in his hand, but he didn't look at it, his gaze passed through the canopy of the tree that looked like light smoke due to the falling leaves, and looked at the ribbon-like Weishui in the distance, and the corners of his mouth smiled.

Not far behind him, General Pi Wang Ping and Huang Xi sat together, chattering on a grass stalk in their mouths, silent, and it took a long time before they could say a word. They were originally chatting, but after just a few words, they gradually lost their taste, and they sat down.

Wang Ping glanced at Ma Yan's back from time to time, and there was a trace of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

Wang Ping is a native of the Brazilian Danqu, which is located at the southern foot of Daba Mountain and is a settlement of the Ba people. Wang Ping and the Ba people get along very well. When Cao Cao conquered Zhang Lu, he once surrendered to Cao Cao with the Ba leaders Du Hao and Pu Hu, and went to Luoyang. Cao Cao sealed him a fake captain, that is, an acting captain. Later, Xiahou Yuan died, and Cao Cao conquered Hanzhong again, and he also followed, but he never went back after he came, he surrendered to Liu Bei again, and got the position of Yamen general, and later promoted to General Pi.

However, he was also discriminated against by many people because of this, and was regarded as a capricious villain. In addition, he didn't know a few words, and he was contaminated with the habits of many barbarians, and the scholars around Liu Bei all regarded him as a barbarian. Wang Ping didn't say it, but he kept it all in his heart, and naturally he didn't have a good impression of the reader.

Ma Jian is a scholar, and he also has an unconcealable contempt for Wang Ping, although he tries not to show it on his face as much as possible, but the arrogance that comes out of his bones, Wang Ping can clearly feel it.

Regarding Ma Tan, Wang Ping also disagreed. Different from the pride of Ma Tan and others, this is the pride of a scholar of a soldier who has really made meritorious contributions from the battlefield by fighting again and again.

Wang Ping believes that a real general must be born in the army, and no one can become a famous general by reading a few sentences. With a talent like Cao Cao, the martial emperor of Cao Wei, he would be defeated in his first battle, how could a scholar like Ma Jian become famous in one battle?

The battle of Xiangwu was nothing but a victory piled up with human lives. He has to be really capable. weishenme has been in Yuzhong for so long, and he hasn't conquered Yuzhong?

Regarding the Luomen ambush, Wang Ping also had a different view. It's just that Ma Jian ignored his opinion. He could only cry out in vain.

He felt that the idea of ambushing Zhang He with more than 20,000 foot soldiers was a bit self-talking. What kind of person is Zhang He? He knew more about Longyou's geography than Ma Yan, and not only that, but he was also a very cautious general, and he would rush in without sending scouts to check on Luomen's situation in advance. Catch you?

Only a scholar would think like this, treating everyone else as a fool, and the only smart person in the world is himself.

Wang Ping said it once. Ma Tan didn't hear it, smiled politely, and then did according to his own arrangement. Wang Ping didn't say anything more, just thought about his own thoughts. He regretted a little that he shouldn't have given up Cao Wei and surrendered to Liu Bei. Yes, he and Liu Bei get along very well. won Liu Bei's trust and once became his tooth keeper, but who knew that Liu Bei would die so early, and now it is Zhuge Liang, a scholar, who is in power, and he has to obey Ma Yan, a scholar.

Regret not being at the beginning. If this day can be expected. He would rather go back to Luoyang. It is said that Pu Hu is living well in Luoyang, and he is better than him now anyway.

Wang Ping had the experience of surrendering twice, others were unwilling to deal with him, he didn't talk much, and he didn't have any good friends. The reason why I can talk to Huang Raid is because Huang Raid is also Brazilian, and he can be regarded as a township party. Huang Xi is a tribe of the Huang family in Langzhong, Brazil, and Huang Quan is a clan. After Huang Quan surrendered to Cao Wei, Liu Bei did not blame Huang Quan, Huang Raid still led the troops, and now he is a miscellaneous general. However, after Liu Bei's death and Zhuge Liang came to power, they felt a lot of pressure. Zhuge Liang took Wei Yan's military power in Hanzhong, which made Huang attack them a little uncomfortable. If even Wei Yan's military power has to be collected, how many days can they, the Yizhou people, keep their military power?

Such worries weighed on the hearts of every non-Jingxiang general, and it also made them naturally get together, even if they were not very close to each other, they would be very accustomed to sitting together when they were free.

In the distance, there was the sound of Ma Tan reciting poems and books, Wang Ping and Huang Xi exchanged a look, and snorted in unison.

……

A hundred miles east of Luomen, Zhang He raised his hand, the flag bearer immediately shook the flag, the drummer beat the war drums, and the marching cavalry slowly stopped.

Zhang Xiong urged the war horse and trotted all the way over.

"General, what do you command?"

"Set up camp and rest on the spot, and send the scouts out for a hundred miles. east to the upper city and west to the lower part of the city, west to the Lomen. ”

Zhang Xiong looked at the sky and said hesitantly: "General, rest now, isn't it too early?" ”

Zhang He glanced at him: "It's not early." These days, the soldiers are working hard, and they are about to fight, and they must cultivate their spirits. ”

Zhang Xiong didn't ask again, he knew that his father had a deep meaning, and it was never as simple as letting the soldiers rest more. He turned around to make arrangements, and when he heard the order to rest, all the soldiers turned over and dismounted, some led their horses to the lower reaches of Weishui to drink horses, some went upstream to fetch water and prepare for cooking, and some camped, each with his own duties.

Zhang Xiong found the scout camp and passed Zhang He's orders down. The captain of the scout battalion took the order, and after a short time, the scouts rode their horses in all directions.

After arranging everything, Zhang Xiong returned to Zhang He's side. Zhang He was contemplating the map.

"Daddy, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking, why did Zhuge Liang dare to set up a big array under Shangqi City, waiting for me to attack." Zhang He raised his head, looked at his son, and smiled: "What do you think?" ”

"After battle, he has the advantage." Zhang Xiong sneered: "However, let's avoid the facts, attack its weakness, go to meet Ma Yan, and cut off one of his arms first." Even if he guessed, what could he do? His foot soldiers could not keep up with our cavalry. ”

"We're not going to Loomon." Zhang He turned his head and glanced at the sunset in the west: "We will go back to Shangtai tomorrow." ”

“weishenme？” Zhang Xiong was puzzled.

"Because the time hasn't come yet." Zhang Hemo held the knife ring and smiled slightly.

On the opposite hill, a bird flew up from the forest, screaming around the tree, panicking.
