Guo Si smacked his lips, looked at the horns outside the city, and the busy scene of the military cavalry running around, and said contemptuously:

"This is not the scene of the battle between Chen Cang. Now we are strong and have sufficient food and grass. Why should we be afraid of the enemy like a tiger? Yizhou and Liangzhou coalition soldiers are snakes and rats, and we are not people with one heart. If we are suppressing our army, Ma Teng and Han Sui can be captured in one battle!"

Guo Si and Li Ying proposed different strategies to clear the fields. They advocated taking the initiative to attack Yizhou and Liangzhou's coalition forces. In his opinion, his troops were comparable to those of the Yiliang coalition forces, but the troops, armor, food, supplies, and places and people were more beneficial than the Yiliang coalition forces that had rushed to join forces and traveled a long distance.

If one's army is over, sets up the formation in the plains, and starts a battle of 200,000 people, then one side with a strong armor and a sharp soldier will undoubtedly have a sure victory.

After hearing Guo Si's words, Li Jue looked at Fan Chou again. Unfortunately, Fan Chou turned his face away this time and didn't want to speak out anymore.

His garrison Youfufeng had completely fallen, and after his troops were defeated, Fan Chou was even more angry and frustrated. Although he still needed to join forces with Li Jue, Guo Si and others to resist the Yiliang coalition that was driving straight into the front line, he did not want to serve as a vanguard, so that Li Jue and Guo Si would take the opportunity to weaken his troops.

The city suddenly fell into silence.

The two obvious nasolabial folds on Li Jie's face moved, and he was not ashamed of his emotions. He blew up and said:

"Then the army will prepare for their troops and build their strength. After the other troops arrive, they will fight with the two bandits of horses and Han to the death!"

Everyone on the city wall looked different when they heard this, but they did not object. Li Jue silently saw the changes in his faces of these people and kept silent.

In the original intention, Li Jue also wanted to take the initiative to attack the exhausted Yiliang coalition forces from afar, but the 100,000 troops crossed Fengshui and took the initiative to attack Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops, in addition to the advantages mentioned by Guo Si, also had many risks.

For example, Zhang Xiu, Duan Wei, Gan Ling and other people were still on the way to help, because of the defeat of Youfufeng, Fan Chou, who was worried about it, and those in the court and the country who temporarily lurked because of Ma Yu, Zhong Shao and Liu Fan's plot to leak the situation...

After all, it is the life and death of 100,000 people. Once defeated and blocked by Fengshui, even if you want to retreat into the city in time, it is impossible to hold on to the camp. The wealth and wealth that have been obtained through hardships will change hands overnight. Such huge gains, losses, interests and interests cannot be held high, and Li Jue, who controls the court, makes no decisions carefully.

We still have to wait a moment, at least we have to free up our hands and stabilize our internal affairs before we can solve Ma Teng, Han Sui and others.

Li Jie's eyes flashed and he thought to himself.

In this way, the confrontation between the Yiliang coalition forces and Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and others was delayed in large-scale war due to many internal reasons. The army of both sides stood along the Fengshui River and each guarded the camps, while constantly dispatching scouts to cross the Fengshui River to spy on the military information of the enemy troops on the other side.

When Gan Ling led the troops of Xihe to Chang'an, he happened to catch up with this rare war in the Guanxi area.

···

Ten days later, downstream of Fengshui.

After the flood season, the water volume decreased. More than a dozen riders followed the shallows in the water, and horses joined forces to cross the river, and waded onto the west shore.

"General Zhonglang, do I have to go deeper when I cross the river like this?"

As the Qiang people, Yicheng Quanjie, while comforting the mount under his crotch, which had just crossed the river, was wet and swung the water droplets impatiently, while looking at Gan Ling worriedly and asked.

Chen Rui, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, was cautious and cautious, and turned to look at Ganling. It was obvious that they were a little worried about Ganling crossing the river and going deep into the dangerous place.

Gan Ling smiled and told the two of them:

"What are you worried about? We are the Qiang Cavalry from Liangzhou at this moment. I was originally a Liangren. I have been with this Liangren army for a long time. I am familiar with the inside story. If you have any worries, you should just sneak up."

Gan Ling smiled and comforted Yi Cong under his command. He wanted to find an opportunity to cross the river and come to the west bank to spy on the military situation of the Yiliang cavalry. It was not a pure adventure. He followed Yan Xing to stay in the Liangzhou coalition for a long time and was very familiar with the situation of the Liangzhou coalition.

Although the Liangzhou coalition forces fought bravely, their military discipline was scattered and their internal members were mixed. Unless they bumped into the elite team of horses, Han and others, they would see these cavalry wearing Qiang people's clothing and able to communicate the Qianghu language. There were hundreds of soldiers and horses of Qianghu races in the Liangzhou coalition, mixed with fish and dragons, and who could see their differences?

What's more, they also captured and killed two enemy rangers on the east coast. They knew the command of the Liangzhou coalition rangers today. If the two enemy rangers were not injured, they would be exposed easily with them. Gan Ling even thought of using them as a guide to spy on Ma Teng and Han Sui's camp location and camp defense arrangements.

These more than a dozen cavalry were heading towards the camp of the Liangzhou army like other Qiang and Hu cavalry. Along the way, they met the cavalry running by, but they didn't pay attention to them. Occasionally, the patrol cavalry passed by inquiring, and Gan Ling also answered with a command to deal with it freely.

It was not until everyone approached the periphery of a camp with dense felt tents that Gan Ling signaled everyone to stop moving forward, looking for a high-level hilly area, leaving horses at the foot of the mountain, leading people up the hills, and looking down at the entire camp from a high place.

"It's the tribe of Wudu Shenlang Qiang."

Gan Ling found a good location covered by mountains and rocks, squatted down, looked at the flying flags in the camp from a distance, and realized that it was a wolf-headed totem, and murmured.

In the camps of the Qiang people, felt tents were chaotic and there were constant people and horses. During the livestock, there was only one large tent around it, and the felt tents next to it were also neat, leaving soldiers to guard it. In other places, there were many people and animals feces, which were chaotic.

Ganling can't be looked closely, and from a distance, it can be seen that the camp of the Ganlang Qiang chief and his guards are located. The other felt tents are the residences of ordinary Qiang people in the Ganlang Qiang tribe. They do not pay attention to laws and do not have strict military camp laws and regulations. They only choose to go down the camp in places with dense water and grass as temporary camps.

It would be fine if it was a temporary camp for guerrilla operations. Once it was a garrison camp for a long time, a large number of people and livestock gathered in one place, but no complete sewage discharge system was established, the entire camp would become stinky. It would not take long before the Ganlang Qiang tribe would abandon the camp and choose another place to camp.

Therefore, most of the Qiang camps did not set up fences or antlers, nor did they build horn towers or dig ditches, leaving only a large open space for the gathering of people and horses, and only sent some cavalry as scouts and provocates to the outside world.

"General Zhonglang, this tribe of Ganlang Qiang probably has not much food. Look, many people have begun to slaughter the livestock they brought as food."

Wulou Thorns were weathered and frost, and his eyes were as sharp as eagles. He quickly noticed the fatal weakness of the Ganlang Qiang tribe. He was a sashimi of Shangjun. The land of Shangjun had been abolished by the Han Empire. There was no king or minister between Qiang and Hu, and there was no one to be together. For the pasture of tribes, water sources were fought purely. Some tribes with generations of blood feuds were fighting endlessly. He was a mature warrior, very familiar with the fighting styles of the Qiang and Hu people.

In the battle of nomadic tribes, the tribes often sent people to gather herders under the rule of nomadic rule. Then all the men in the middle were soldiers, riding horses and holding bows, and following the tribes and their relatives and entourages went to war together. Most of their troops were fed to the enemy's territory, but there were still a large number of livestock accompanying them.

When these livestock win battles, they are used as animal power to carry trophy, and they are also food for soldiers to fill their hunger when the enemy's food is not good.

When advancing, the galloping cavalry and a large number of pack horses, cattle, sheep, donkeys and mules were very powerful and could be used to confuse the enemy. When defeated, the tribe abandoned the cattle and sheep in a road and could also delay the enemy's pursuit to ensure the retreat of the team.

In a word, if the Qiang tribe is in a favorable situation, they will not slaughter their pack livestock as food. Wulouji just saw that many soldiers from Ganlang and Qiang were already slaughtering their packhors.

Ganling can also be concluded from this that the ginseng and wolf Qiang that rushed to the long distance had begun to lack food.

Unless they can conquer cities like Chang'an that build Taicang and store a large amount of grain, these 200,000 troops will confront each other here, eating people and chewing horses, enough to eat all the food within a radius of hundreds of miles.

By that time, Ma Teng, who relied on the Qiang tribe, had to withdraw his troops, and not to mention the troops in Yizhou. It would be thousands of miles away from Hanzhong to Chang'an alone. In addition, the road to Shu was difficult, and Ganling did not believe that they could support them for a longer time than the Qiang people.

"Let's go!"

Gan Ling admired the viciousness of Wulouji's eyes. He shook his hand. Several Yichi, who were hiking up the hill, immediately understood it. He followed the original road with Gan Ling and went down the mountain to get on horseback. Gan Ling took advantage of the sunset before dusk, and then went to inspect several nearby enemy camps. The situation they saw was similar to the Ganlang Qiang tribe.

Seeing the setting sun, Gan Ling was worried that the number of scouts and mailers on the west bank would increase dramatically when the night entered, and perhaps the night commands would be changed between mailers. In addition, although he could not deeply explore Ma Teng and Han Sui's camp, he also had a rough grasp of the situation of the peripheral camps of the coalition forces, so he no longer stayed, pretended to be the Qiang and Hu cavalry who were out of the camp, preparing to return to the shallows downstream of the original road, crossing the river and returning to the other side.

Along the way, the number of scouts and mailers sent by various camps increased significantly, but they only interrogated the rangers from the east coast, but no one noticed that Ganling, a scouts and mailers sent from a certain camp.

Gan Ling and others came to the shallows when they met a team of cavalry crossing the river from the east bank.

The shallows in the water vary in depth and cannot be connected in parallel. Everyone can only wait by the water and wait for the cavalry to get ashore.

There were more than thirty cavalrymen, several knights were injured, and there were several unmanned war horses behind them. For a young general, the setting sun hit his face. He casually patted the water stains on the horse, squinted his eyes and looked at the Qiang cavalry of Ganling, smiled, and asked in the cold Qiang language:
Chapter completed!
