Shen Tian led two thousand Qi troops to the Zhaowu army station. When there were still three miles away, he was discovered by the scouts and immediately informed Li Zhao.

When Li Zhao heard that there were only more than 1,000 people around Shen Tian, his first reaction was to kill him.

It's a pity that Shen Tian didn't come forward, and after a short observation from a distance. As soon as the Zhaowu army came out of the camp, Shen Tian had already led people away.

Yang Xu was leading people to build a military camp, and when he saw Shen Tian coming back, he hurriedly went over to greet him and asked what he had gained from this trip.

Shen Tian said to Yang Xu: "The enemy camp is located on a high place, there are dozens of arrow towers above, and the trenches dug around it are quite deep, and several trenches are intricately intersected.

"Since the enemy army is encamped on a high place, can you cut off its water supply? Without water, the army of thieves will be crushed without a fight. Yang Xu said.

Shen Tian shook his head, "According to what the scout said before, the Zhaowu Army has been stationed here for a week, and there is no sign of water shortage in the army, it is estimated that there is a fixed water source in the army. "

Dare to ask the general, how do you plan to break the situation.

Shen Tian took the map, looked at it for a while, and said: "The current garrison of the Zhaowu Army is just blocking the way of our army, and there are mountains all around. Li Zhaoxuan camped here, presumably because he didn't want our army to enter the hinterland of Hanzhong, how could I do what he wanted. He

looked at the two people under his command: "Zhang Xia and Yan Kang, you two each take 5,000 soldiers and take the mountain road to bypass the Zhaowu army station." Then attack the cities of Guangyan, Changxian and Luxian. However, it must be remembered that Liucheng must not be attacked. "

Why can't you fight Liucheng?" Zhang Xia was puzzled.

"Liucheng is close to the Guanzhong of the Wei State, if Liucheng is lost, I am worried about attracting the Wei army. "Shen Tian, like Li Zhao, was worried about Wei intervening in the war.

"Yang Xu, after the two of them set off, you led 40,000 troops to feint on Li Zhao's garrison, forcing the Zhaowu army to be unable to send troops to rescue him. If Li Zhao comes out of the camp for a decisive battle, you just need to drag him down, and I will arrive soon.

Yang Xu's face was puzzled, and he said, "General, don't you attack Nanzheng?" "It's

not yet time to fight Nanzheng, Li Zhao has been operating in Nanzheng for several months, and this city is not easy to fight.

Yang Xu frowned, whether it was Li Zhao's garrison not far away or Nanzheng City, it was not something that could be captured in the short term. And the Zhaowu Army also has a military camp outside the Jianmen Pass, which has been built for several months, and it is also a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Obviously, Li Zhao took great pains to prevent the Qi army from recovering Hanzhong.

He now understood why Shen Tian and the emperor had said that the war would take at least three to six months. He even asked Shu to cooperate with the dispatch of troops many times to jointly attack Hanzhong. Shen Tian should have known a long time ago that the Zhaowu Army was even more difficult to fight than he imagined.

But people always have to eat, and since Li Zhao is camped outside the city, there will always be a day when the food will run out. The Qi army took control of the Han River, and a steady stream of grain was brought in from the Yangtze River. If the Zhaowu army's grain road is cut off and consumed all the time, the victory will eventually be the Qi army.

Zhang Xia and Yan Kang quickly led their troops away, and after Yang Xu made a little preparation, he led 40,000 Qi troops to the Zhaowu army station.

Li Zhao did not panic when he saw the Qi army coming. In recent days, nearly 10,000 young people have been digging desperately day and night. Several trenches were dug before the battle, wide and deep, with sharp blades at the bottom. Once you fall, you will either die or be injured.

If the Qi army wanted to fill the trenches, they would be fiercely attacked by the crossbowmen of the Zhaowu army. In order to strengthen the long-range attack, Li Zhao brought more than 100 bed crossbows and countless arrows.

Yang Xu gasped when he saw the trench dug by the Zhaowu army. If you want to attack, I don't know how many Qi troops will be buried here.

To the south of the Zhaowu army's position, although there was no trench, it was a cliff, the lowest point was about four or five zhang high from the ground, and it could only be climbed up by a ladder.

Yang Xu bypassed the trench and let the soldiers attack from the south.

The Zhaowu army was condescending, attacking the Qi army below by means of crossbow fire and throwing rubble. Yang Xu attacked for half an hour, but he couldn't attack it. Forced to order the retreat of the troops, instead of surrounding.

Yan Kang and Zhang Xia walked a long way and successfully entered the hinterland of Hanzhong. Yan Kang went to Guangyan and Chang County, and Zhang Qing led his troops to attack Lu County.

Li Zhao soon learned that the Qi army had made a detour to attack Hanzhong, and he felt a little helpless. In the past few months, he has worked tirelessly, eliminating corrupt officials and powerful people, redistributing land, and finally stabilizing the hearts of the people in Hanzhong. Now that the war is going on, it is estimated that many people other than Nanzheng will go into the mountains and fall into the grass.

Sensing that Li Zhao was not in a good mood, Shen Ning persuaded: "Our army is already at a disadvantage, and it is difficult to cover everything. Shen Tian's move may be to lure our army out of the camp, and then surround and annihilate it. The handsome man needs to be calm and don't be fooled.

Li Zhao said: "Guangyan and Chang County are small cities, and there are not many Zhaowu troops in the city, so I am afraid it will be difficult to defend." Lu County has Liu Haoyan leading 2,000 people to garrison, as for whether he can hold it, it depends on his ability.

Li Zhao was not very at ease with Yang Mingsheng, but after all, he did not rebel, and he made a lot of contributions to measuring the land, so he did not kill him and temporarily imprisoned him. Let Liu Haoyan lead the troops to defend Lu County.

"Marshal, the last general saw the Qi army outside the camp, the strength is only slightly more than our army, the difference is not very big. If you go out of the camp and fight with one, it is not without a chance to win. Song Jun looked eager to try.

"No, Shen Tian has other soldiers and horses. Without the commander's military order, you can't go into battle without authorization, and those who violate the order will be killed!" No

matter how the Qi army provoked, the Zhaowu army always stood still and put on a posture of defending to the end.

Seeing this, Yang Xu wondered in his heart, what was Li Zhao waiting for

? In Shudi, Shi Ai led the troops to finally walk out of the mountains and mountains. All the soldiers were disgraced and tired.

Chen Lu's eyes were red with excitement, and he finally got through it. This road, I don't want to go through it a second time in my life, it almost kills him.

Shi Ai didn't let everyone go to rest, a few miles away was Fushui Pass, and the soldiers were very fast, so they couldn't give the Qi army time to deal with it. He personally led 2,000 soldiers to Fushui Pass.

The gate of Fushui Pass was wide open, and there were no soldiers guarding the gate before closing. There were only a handful of soldiers on the wall, sitting on the ground and chatting. At this time, someone stood up and looked ahead, and he must have seen the Zhaowu army in the distance.

Fushui Pass is located in the hinterland of Shu and has been war-free for a long time. The Qi army stationed here was unusually lax in armament and did not take any precautions.

Shi Ai was unaware of the ghosts and led his troops to kill outside the gate. It wasn't until he was about to enter the customs that he was seen by a Qi soldier. But at this time, it was too late to stop, and the Zhaowu army attacked Fushui Pass without much effort.

The Qi army was terrified, and never thought that there would be enemy troops here. Before the defender Liu Can could react, the Zhaowu army had already attacked his mansion. Liu Can was frightened in his heart and knelt on the ground and begged.

In this battle, 3,000 Qi troops were captured, and the Zhaowu army lost less than 10 men. Due to the loss of thousands of Zhaowu troops on the road, in order to replenish the troops, Shi Ai directly merged the Qi army into the Zhaowu army.

The first battle was victorious, and the morale of the Zhaowu army was greatly boosted.

Shi Ai only rested at Fushui Pass for an hour, and then waved his troops directly at Miancheng.
