  Chapter 1236 General Guan’s hesitation

On a flat river in the south of Dagukou, a few horses appeared in the distance, galloping towards them. Not far behind them, billows of yellow dust were rolled up, covering the sun, and the rumbling sound was like thunder, dull and exciting. With strong pressure.

  All of this was quickly magnified in everyone's hearing and vision.

  Wang Ping, who has been sticking to the highland camp, raised his binoculars and looked in the direction where the smoke and dust rose.

  After seeing the appearance of the cavalry at the front, he put down the binoculars in disbelief, rubbed his eyes with the other hand, and then raised the binoculars to look again.

   That's right!

   It is the most familiar costume of a big man riding a horse.

   Coming from the southwest, there is no one other than the big Han cavalry who can make such amazing movements.

"coming!"

  Wang Ping's exhausted face suddenly showed ecstasy, "Come, come!"

  He shouted in a hoarse voice:

   "Brothers, our reinforcements are here!"

  The camp of the Han army was originally stationed on a small high ground.

  Hearing Wang Ping's words, the soldiers of the Han army who were sitting or lying in a mess around them, who were resting, immediately got up as if they were listening to fairy music!

   "Really?"

   "So fast?"

  The reinforcements came faster than expected. This unexpected joy made the soldiers really feel like a treasure from poverty, a light like a dark light, food like a hunger, and rain like a drought!

  In an instant, the feeling of being invisible to the eyes, unable to be grasped by the hands, and inexplicable, quickly spread in the camp.

  The soldiers who had been fighting hard for many days burst into cheers.

  Because of their persistence and sacrifice, it was not in vain.

   On the contrary, the fact that the imperial court sent reinforcements so quickly shows the value of this battle.

   "I asked the bandit army below, why there is a sudden change, it turns out that our reinforcements have arrived."

   "I also find it strange that you said that. From yesterday to now, it seems that many of the bandit army retreated towards Dagukou?"

   "Yes, I also found out, I thought it was a thief and what tricks!"

   "The thief... Could it be that he wants to retreat?"

   "Probably not? What about the main force of the bandit army in Jinyang?"

   It’s okay not to mention this, but when this is mentioned, someone’s eyes light up:

   "As soon as the imperial reinforcements arrive, doesn't that mean that the army of thieves will be cut off? This is another great achievement that God bestows upon us!"

   "Dream?" The colleague muttered in the direction of the reinforcements, "Did you see? He has four legs, how many legs do you have? Can you keep up?"

   Besides, in these days of hard fighting, everyone has exhausted their physical strength and is struggling to support.

   Many colleagues even died in wailing, groaning, or obscurity because they did not receive timely treatment.

  At this time, they urgently need a break.

   Even after confirming the arrival of reinforcements from one's own side, after relaxing the tense spirit, they simply lay on the spot on their backs and fell asleep in seconds.

  As the thunderous hoofbeats grew louder, the cavalry army gradually appeared in everyone's field of vision.

  The speed of the cavalry is not very fast, probably deliberately suppressing the speed in order to conserve energy and maintain formation.

  However, the cavalry all over the mountains and plains were as dark as dark clouds, and they were still extremely oppressive, which made people feel chilling.

  The halberd and spear under the sunlight were shining brightly.

  Wang Ping did not go to see them, but held up his binoculars to look for the big banner representing the position of the coach in the army.

   Soon, as the army continued to approach, the Guanzi Banner finally appeared in Wang Ping's sight.

   "It's General Guan, it's General Zhendong! General Guan personally led the army to rescue us!"

   "General Guan is here?"

   Someone just lay down, and when they heard the name of Guan Zhendong, they quickly got up again and looked around:

   "Where? Where?"

   "General Zhendong? Really?"

   A group of generals surrounded him.

   "It should be impossible to go wrong with the big banner."

   "Could it be General Fu Han (that is, Guan Xing)?"

  The situation of the battle has been decided, and the idle guys are already in the mood to lift the steel bars in front of the battle.

   Glancing at the guy who raised the bar, he said nothing, and sneered, "Hehe", with endless meanings.

  Although General Fu Han is also surnamed Guan, but looking at the whole Han, no, it should be said that it is the whole world, commanding such a large-scale cavalry march, the formation can still be so neat and coordinated...

  If you don’t count the head of the mountain, then it must be General Guan!

  General Guan's elder brother came and I didn't recognize him.

  The achievement of the head of the mountain is certainly not extravagant.

   Just monopolizing eighth of the talent in the world is already beyond reach.

  However, General Guan led an army to surprise thousands of miles, swept across Bingzhou, and devoured the achievements of Hanoi.

  While Wang Ping was looking at the army coming from the southwest with his binoculars, General Zhendong also received the news that the scouts at the front had returned:

   "General, there are only sporadic thieves ahead, and they retreated immediately after seeing us."

   "There is another army stationed on a high ground in front. Judging from the flag, it should be the soldiers of our big man."

   General Guan raised his binoculars upon hearing this.

  In the eyes, the ruined camp, the Han flag flying high, and some people seemed to be waving weapons of different lengths, as if they were cheering for themselves.

  Although they couldn't see their appearance clearly, it could be seen that the armor on their bodies had long since lost its original appearance. Like the camp, it was already dilapidated.

   Obviously, this is a team that has gone through a tough battle.

   General Guan, who has always been calm, was also a little moved.

   "Send someone over immediately to contact them."

   "Here!"

   "Let the rear army prepare rescue supplies immediately!"

   "Here!"

   "Speed ​​forward!"

   "Here!"

   The messengers started running around:

   "The coach has ordered, speed up!"

   "The coach has ordered, speed up!"

  …

   Soon, the forward of the cavalry army split into two sides, bypassed the high ground, and continued to roll forward.

  The little Wei army that was left nearby immediately retreated towards Dagukou upon seeing this.

   After holding on to the small highland for many days, reinforcements from the Han army finally ushered in.

  A small school rode a horse and galloped to the front of the line of defense piled up with messy unknown things, shouting:

   "Dare to ask all the strong men, who is the chief general in the army?"

  Wang Ping, who had already received the news, was able to stand up and lead the school to greet him:

   "Wang Ping, the captain of Xianbei, I wonder which general led the army to help?"

   Before the small school could answer, another troop of cavalry galloped up from Xiao Gaodi.

  Brilliant armor, sharp weapons, tall and handsome horse, it is easy to see that he is a rare elite.

  A young general came out under the **** of his personal guards, but saw him get off his horse beautifully, and strode over:

   "Guan is late, I hope General Wang will not blame him!"

  Wang Ping saw the young general and hurriedly saluted:

   "Last General Wang Ping, meet General Zhendong!"

   He is really General Zhendong!

  Many people behind Wang Ping had their eyes wide open and stretched their necks, wanting to see what the legendary number one general under the mountain chief really looked like.

   Sure enough, he is handsome, tall and straight, with a heroic spirit.

   "General Wang please hurry up, Guan Mou can't afford such a great gift from General Wang at this time."

  General Zhendong stepped forward quickly, helped Wang Ping himself, and then looked at the generals behind Wang Ping whose whole bodies were stained with blood, and even their faces were grey.

  Although they can't see what their real faces look like, the light in their eyes and the high spirits they still maintain after the tragic war.

  You can see their excitement at this time.

   "Everyone has made great contributions, I should be the one to salute you."

Hey!

  General Guan saluted me, and I will have bragging rights in the future!

   "General Guan, since we have joined the army, we should fight to the death and kill thieves, report to the court above and report to the people below, otherwise, wouldn't we be ashamed of being cultivated by the prince?"

   "That's it!"

  …

   At the same time of chattering, it is also a mess of returning gifts.

  Although Yanmen County is a frontier county, Pingcheng is more like facing the desert.

  But how could General Guan not know that his family, Alang, valued this place far more than other places?

  Therefore, the captain who guards the Xianbei Colonel's Mansion is the first Wang Ping promoted after he left the mountain. At the same time, the relationship between Wang's father and son and A Lang can be described as sharing weal and woe.

  The long history of the school captain's mansion is Zhang Yuan, the big brother of the martial arts hall, who has been with A Lang for many years.

  As for the backbone generals of the Xiaoweifu Army, they are either Nanxiang students or students of the Jiangwu Hall.

  In the Hu cavalry army, some of them were transferred from the original Liangzhou army Hu people.

It can be said that from Nanzhong to Liangzhou, to Jiuyuan Governor's Mansion, and then to Yanmen County, the soldiers who guarded the border for the great Han and the people who built the border are inextricably linked with the Xinghan Society and Alang .

  This can probably be regarded as a way of immigrating to the frontier and reclaiming and guarding the frontier.

  Of course, this may also be a way out that Alang is looking for for these ordinary people's children.

  After all, in the frontier, often dealing with Hu people—whether it is a peaceful deal or a fierce deal—not only can get exercise, but also it is easier to accumulate meritorious service.

  If it weren't for the sudden incident, the Central Capital Protectorate had no plans to go to war with the outside world in the past few years.

  General Guan smiled and nodded to these passionate young generals, and then said to Wang Ping:

   "I have asked the rear to send up the supplies as soon as possible, to make up for the general's soldiers."

   "Also, where are the wounded soldiers in the army now? I also specially ordered a batch of medicinal materials to be sent up..."

  It's good that General Guan didn't mention this, but when he mentioned this, Wang Ping's expression darkened, and even the excited generals fell silent.

   Seeing their expressions, General Guan already guessed what was going on, and she sighed softly...

  She who has been through battle for a long time, how can she not understand that the soldiers who died before the battle and the soldiers who died after being injured are basically divided in half.

   That is, the big man has been able to save the lives of a large number of injured soldiers because of the medical school over the years.

  At the same time, these soldiers who have recovered from injuries will grow into experienced veterans.

   Over the years, the combat effectiveness of the lieutenants of the Han army has become stronger and stronger, which is one of the important reasons.

  After all, other people's elite soldiers may really be the one who can survive in the end out of a hundred people.

   But the big man is different.

  I have equipped you with such good weapons, such a high armor rate, and so many medical students. How can it be so easy to want to die?

   It's just this situation, which is based on strong logistical support.

  As for the battle like Otaniguchi, the number of Han soldiers who died of injuries has reached an astonishing level.

  After arranging for the rest and treatment of the officers and soldiers of Xianbei Xiaowei's Mansion, General Guan immediately asked about the war situation in Bingzhou.

   "Return to Zhendong General, we are trapped here. We only know that Sima Yi is leading the army and heading north, presumably to attack Jinyang."

  Wang Ping actually knew almost nothing about the situation in Jinyang.

  The only thing he knew more than General Guan was that Sima Yi had indeed led the army there.

   "Besides, since yesterday, the Wei thieves who besieged us suddenly retreated, but I can be sure that Sima Yi's army will definitely not return."

  Hearing what Wang Ping said, General Guan frowned:

   "Sima Yi's army hasn't returned yet?"

  Wang Ping nodded: "Definitely not."

  My own camp happened to be stuck at the exit of Dagukou.

  Even if Sima Yi's tens of thousands of troops were marching at night, they still had to have torches, and it was impossible to return to Dagukou quietly from under his nose.

   "General Zhendong, doesn't that mean that the army of thieves has been cut off by us?"

  When Ma Dai heard the words, he immediately said, "General, if you don't let the last general lead the army as the forward, go to Jinyang immediately!"

  General Guan was not so excited, she shook her head gently:

   "It's not that simple. I have fought against Sima Yi. This person is not a simple person, and he should not be underestimated."

  In the Battle of Guanzhong, if Alang hadn't been determined to cleanse the Hedong family, and would have stayed on the edge of the river to fish and refused to cross the river, he might have fallen into Sima Yi's trick.

  General Guan even fought Sima Yi himself after crossing the river, and he knew very well that this man was extremely powerful and ruthless.

   If the opponent is not paying attention, he will suffer a big loss.

  Wei Yan's Shangdang loss is a lesson of blood and tears.

   "But General Zhendong, Jinyang has few soldiers. If we don't rescue in time, I'm afraid..."

  Facing veterans like Ma Dai, General Guan had no choice but to patiently explain:

   "Old General Ma, calm down. I'm not saying that I won't go to Jinyang. I'm just saying that the fact that Sima Yi's retreat was cut off may not be as simple as we imagined."

  She looked at Ma Dai:

   "So, old general Ma, when you go with your troops, you must be careful, don't rush forward, and remember to report the news ahead at any time."

   Ma Dai was overjoyed and took the order.

  Wait for the crowd to disperse, Wang Ping intentionally came to the last, and quietly asked:

   "The general is worried that Old General Ma has fallen for Sima Yi's trick?"

  General Guan smiled lightly and shook his head lightly:

   "When I arrived in Qi County, I sent people to Jinyang to investigate in advance. General Ma should be able to meet him halfway."

   "I led a large army to occupy Dagukou, which is to choke the main road for the Wei thieves to advance and retreat. If Sima Yi has tricks, what can I do?"

  Wang Ping asked again: "The general is worried about Jinyang's loss?"

  General Guan suppressed his smile, pondered for a while, and then said:

   "Sima Yi's retreat has been cut off, so what if he can capture Jinyang? If Sima Yi and his army can be gathered and wiped out at the price of one Jinyang, then it is worthwhile."

  Wang Ping didn't understand:

   "The general is still worried about what?"

  General Guan let out a sigh of relief:

   "Because I don't understand Sima Yi's actions, if it were me, I would take advantage of the situation and attack Gaoping Pass, blocking all the Shangdang passes to defend myself."

  General Guan's eyes were a little confused, and his tone was hesitant:

   "Unless he thinks that Taiyuan will be like Shangdang, who will immediately surrender the city as soon as the army arrives, otherwise, then he is taking a risk..."

   As she spoke, she put herself in Sima Yi's place, and shook her head again:

   "It's too risky, not worth it! How could Sima Yi not see it? But why would he do this?"

  If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.
