In fact, no matter whether Liang Xu could think of the possibility of an ambush, they would eventually escape.

After all, there is still a chance of escape.

After Liang Qian thought for a moment, he said: "No way. Setting an ambush would mean sharing the troops unexpectedly, and isn't Pang Tong in a hurry to go to Ayang to join Li Qi?"

Pang Xun said: "Okay, let's withdraw from the east gate. But just to be on the safe side, I suggest dividing them into two teams. If there is an ambush, the rear team can still come to respond."

Everyone agreed with Pang Xun's decision.

But everyone knows that if there is an ambush, the team in front will definitely be more dangerous.

As a righteous man from Liangzhou, Pang Chuanyi shouldered the heavy responsibility of being on the first team without any hesitation.

Liang Qian bowed and said, "Zi Yi is a great righteous man, and Qian admires him very much. Qian is willing to lead the first echelon with Zi Yi in front. If there is an ambush, I believe it is impossible for my brother not to come to the rescue."

Liang Qian's brother Liang Xu immediately expressed his stance that the four of them would live and die together.

Pang Qiao said: "In this case, Qiao wants to become brothers with different surnames and follow each other in life and death."

So the four of them set up an incense table and were about to swore their vows when they suddenly reported to Pang Tong that Meng Huo had already arrived at the city.

This nima must have come a little too fast!

Pang Xuan said: "Let's put aside the matter of sworn sworn vows for the time being. We are very close friends between you and me. It won't be too late to make sworn vows again after we fight our way out of the siege."

At this time, the defenders came to report that Pang Tong was attacking the north gate, Meng Huo was attacking the west gate, and both the east and south gates were invincible.

Because Shanggui was surrounded and surrounded by Li Qi's territory, Pang Xun and others still didn't know that Xia Houyuan had been defeated and fled to peace. They wanted to take refuge with Xia Houyuan and retreated from the east gate resolutely.

Xiliang soldiers fled from the east gate, and Pang Tong and Meng Huo successfully captured Shanggui.

Pang Tong had already asked the former Tianshui County meritorious officer and current Longxi County Governor Jiang Ji to recommend a trustworthy person. Once he captured Shanggui, he would appoint him as the Shanggui Order. At this time, the candidates recommended by Jiang Ji had also been in place, and Pang Tong continued to work with him.

Meng Huo divided his troops into two groups and went to Ayang to join Li Qi:

Pang Tong, Wu Tu Gu and Bus Ya Long, went directly north; Meng Huo and Zhu Rong first pursued Liang Qian and others from the east gate, and then joined Zhang Ren and Huo Jun to go north to Ayang.

However, Pang Qian and Liang Qian were in the front, heading east. When they reached Mianzhu Road, the crossbow troops who had already been ambushing on both sides of the road began to serve them warmly and thoughtfully.

Pang Huo was hit by a crossbow bolt. He pulled it out and looked at it, saying, "This is the repeated crossbow of the Yizhou soldiers. It can retreat quickly."

Liang Qian protected Pang Qian and retreated. After the Yizhou soldiers fired their crossbows, Zhang Ren on the left and Huo Jun on the right led their troops to fight out. The Xiliang soldiers were defeated.

Zhang Ren forced Liang Qian to the foot of the mountain. Liang Qian had no choice but to fight with his spear.

In the end, within three rounds, Zhang Ren was captured alive.

Pang Xuan wanted to help rescue Liang Qian, but he was hit by a crossbow arrow and was bleeding profusely. He was also captured by Huo Jun.

Liang Qian said: "It's impossible, there's no way my brother won't come to save you."

It stands to reason that Liang Xu and Yin Shang's rear team are not very far away. They should speed up and come to respond when they realize that there is a battle ahead. Why are there still no people there yet?

Little did they know that Liang Xu and Yin Shang had already been entangled by Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhu Rong who were chasing after them.

Liang Xu saw that there was a female general in the Yizhou army, and the female general seemed to call the barbarian her husband. He thought to himself, I just need to capture the barbarian general's wife as a hostage, and he won't be obedient?

So Liang Xu came to fight with Mrs. Zhu Rong with his spear, but the fight was not close, and Mrs. Zhu Rong stabbed her in the abdomen, causing her to fall from her horse.

Meng Huo shouted: "Military Pang has an order to capture as many people as possible alive."

Mrs. Zhu Rong silently put away the long stick she stabbed out for the second time.

Poor Liang Xu, how did he know that women generally don't go to the battlefield, but women who do go to the battlefield are not easy to mess with.

An hour later, Liang Qian finally understood why his brother did not come to the rescue in time - the four of them were now in a cage, riding on four carts, forming a column and heading towards Ayang.

Li Qi had been confronting Su Ze in Ayang for a long time, and he now understood very well why Zhuge Liang in history could not defeat Sima Yi.

Li Qi was attacking, while Su was defending. Su returned to Anding in advance and set up a defensive barrier at the beginning of the mountain. No matter how hard Li Qi tried to fight, he remained immobile.

When Li Qi heard that Chencang Fortress was being attacked by Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang, he was quite anxious and wished he could capture Anding as soon as possible. But the more anxious he was, the less he could think of any ideas.

Now that Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang have both been repelled, Li Qi is no longer in a hurry, and everyone just consumes it together.

At the end of the day, Pang Tong, Meng Huo, and Zhang Ren came to Li Qi's side to support him; while Su could only wait until Xia Houyuan saw the world with his left eye.

For Li Qi, the most important thing now is to prepare food for the army.

Li Qi handed this task to Ma Zun, but Ma Zun replied with a grimace: "Didn't Pang Tong steal all the food in Tianshui County?"

Li Qi also purchased grain from surrounding farmers and landlords.

But now Li Qi has not taken over the entire Liangzhou, and his control over Tianshui and Longxi counties is not very strong. This means that the local residents of Liangzhou do not want to accept Yizhou's ten straight coins and one hundred straight coins.

Unless Li Qi used robbery or forced requisition, it would be difficult to receive food through normal channels.

But we have just arrived in Liangzhou and have not yet established a stable footing. If we forcefully confiscate food, I am afraid that our people will lose their hearts.

Liangzhou is originally located in a remote place, and if the people are dissatisfied, it is easy for chaos to arise.

Just when Li Qi was troubled by this, a guard came to report: "There is a person outside the door who claims to be an old friend of the Lord and has come to see him."

Li Qi was puzzled, this is my first time in Liangzhou. Can you believe that he is an old friend of Ma Chao and Ma Dai? How can I have any old friend here?

Li Qi muttered: "What old friend?"

The guard said: "This... this is not important. What is important is that he is escorting hundreds of carts of food."

Li Qi stood up excitedly: "Since an old friend is here to visit, why don't you invite me in quickly? What a waste of time!"

Guard: "..."

Li Qi took Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao out and saw that they were really old friends.

Moreover, this old friend was the first famous figure from the Three Kingdoms that Li Qi met after traveling to the Three Kingdoms after the Woniushan brothers: Meng Jian and Meng Gongwei.

Li Qi then remembered that Shi Tao once told him that if Meng Jian came to see Li Qi again, he would be treason with the enemy.

Because Meng Jian already belonged to Cao Cao at that time.

It seems that with so much food and fodder this time, they are collaborating with the enemy.

"Brother Gongwei, you're fine!" Li Qi opened his arms and welcomed Meng Jian.

Meng Jian also opened his arms and said that he had no hidden weapons on his body: "Li Yizhou, you made me wait so hard!"

Li Qi: "..."

Don't tell me that sooner or later you became the governor of Liangzhou to collaborate with the enemy.
