Xia Houyuan said: "I heard that Zhao Yun is a famous general under Li Qi's command, and he is extraordinary in bravery. Isn't it a little too little for you to lead only two thousand troops?"

Yin Li said: "If we bring too many, it may affect Chang'an's city defense. Zhao Yun only has three thousand men and horses, so he cannot divide his troops to set up ambushes, so the final general only needs two thousand. If he fails to win, Li is willing to be dealt with by military law."

Xia Houyuan said: "Well, I will give you two thousand troops to wait for the general's good news in Chang'an City."

Xia Houyuan climbed onto the tower and watched Yin Li leave the city.

The late sunlight cast down, giving the soldiers' bodies a layer of golden light.

Line up and set off.

There was only the clanging sound of armor rubbing against each other.

Xia Houyuan said: "General Yin Li manages the army well and has strict military discipline. This battle will be won."

Just after the You hour, a battle report came from the front: within three rounds of the confrontation between Yin Li and Zhao Yun, he was stabbed under the horse with a spear, and the rest of them died, dispersed, or surrendered.

Xia Houyuan: "..."

In just over two hours, Yin Li not only caught up with Zhao Yun, but also fought a battle, and even the battle report was sent back. What does this mean?

Does it mean that Yin Li is efficient?

This shows that Zhao Yun has not gone far at all after walking for a long time!

Xia Houyuan had reason to suspect that Zhao Yun's attack on Ba Ling was just a pretense, and its purpose was to lure him into battle and create an opportunity for Li Qi's large army to sneak attack Chang'an.

After understanding this, Xia Houyuan completely gave up the idea of ​​pursuing Zhao Yun.

A few days later, Zhao Yun suddenly accelerated his progress and began to attack the city directly without setting up camp at Baling City.

The general guarding Ba Ling was unable to take precautions, and the city was breached that day.

At the same time, news came from the border of Xiliang that Qiang King Cheliji had captured Linqiang, Heguan and other cities under the jurisdiction of Jincheng County. Li Qi originally reached an agreement with the Qiang people and transferred the elite cavalry of the Qiang King, so he did not attack at the border.

Heavily guarded by troops, the prefect of Jincheng County went to Longxi County in person overnight to ask for help from Jiang Jiong.

Why did the prefect of Jincheng County go to ask for help in person?

To put it bluntly, I just ran away.

After the news reached Xiwu, Zhang He said: "There is a sudden riot behind Li Qi. Zhuge Liang will definitely return to quell the rebellion. Why not take advantage of the situation and pursue him?"

Sima Yi quickly dissuaded him: "No, be careful of fraud."

Cao Pi said: "Why does Zhongda think there is fraud?"

Sima Yi said: "There are 50,000 Qiang cavalry in Chencang Fortress. If the rear rebels, how can there be no movement among these 50,000 Qiang cavalry?"

As they were talking, another report came from the front: "The fifty thousand Qiang cavalry in Chencang Fortress rebelled collectively under the leadership of Prime Minister Yadan. The Han army was defeated and has retreated more than thirty miles."

Zhang He knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and said, "Master, what an opportunity! We have been waiting for such an opportunity in Xiwu for so long, aren't we just waiting for such an opportunity?"

Gao Lan also said: "There is chaos in Li Qi's rear, Zhuge Liang withdrew his troops for thirty miles, but he doesn't dare to pursue him. Wouldn't it make the world laugh at him?"

Sima Yi frowned. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it. He likes to travel through the Three Kingdoms, starting from falling off the grass and becoming a bandit.
