Chapter 557

One by one soldiers, fast sprint.

Soon, a large number of soldiers rushed to the city.

All the soldiers are fighting. These fighting soldiers, howling, are more brave in the war. On the contrary, the soldiers stationed in the garrison began to rout after fighting for a while.

"Withdraw!"

Ma Chao held on for less than half an hour and ordered to withdraw.

All garrison troops, evacuate.

Ma Chao evacuated orderly, but Zhang Xiu's soldiers conquered Longguan without any effort. In a short time, it was already open the gate and entered from outside Longguan.

When Zhang Xiu entered Longguan with a large army, Ma Chao's army had retreated completely.

After counting the losses, Huang Zhong came to Zhang Xiu and reported: "Lord, we have lost less than 600 soldiers in this war. More than 200 soldiers of the flying bear army were killed, and nearly 400 conventional soldiers were killed. The soldiers under Ma Chao's command will not be damaged by more than 1000 people. He has evacuated. "

After entering Longguan, Zhang Xiu frowned and said, "it's strange. Ma Chao has 30000 excellent soldiers. With the strength of Ma Chao and the geographical advantage of Longguan, if we want to resist US, unless we make a surprise attack and win by surprise, it will be no problem even if Ma Chao stays in garrison for ten days and a half months. "

After a pause, Zhang Xiu said: "Ma Chao didn't even have a little defensive equipment. It's obvious that Ma Chao didn't plan to guard Longguan early in the morning. He had a mind to retreat. "

Huang Zhongdao said: "my Lord, you can observe carefully. It's true. Is Ma Chao prepared to ambush us in Longshan when he gives up guarding Longguan

"Hard!"

Zhang Xiu shook her head and said, "there are no deep ditches and no easy ambush sites in the topography of Longshan. Such a place is not conducive to laying an ambush. In particular, the terrain of Longshan is not steep, and there are no deep mountains and big trees in the cold northwest, so it is impossible to hide soldiers. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Ma Chao to ambush. "

"Wang Yue!"

Zhang Xiu gave an order.

"I'm in a humble position!"

Wang Yue stood up and gave an answer.

Zhang Xiu said: "immediately dispatch the royal guards to investigate the situation of Longxian. In addition, spread the news of the capture of Longguan and see Han Sui's action. We don't understand Ma Chao's intention, but we can understand it through Han Sui. "

"I'll do it

Wang Yue gave his fist.

Zhang Xiu looked at Huang Zhong again and said, "Han Sheng, send sentries along the direction of Ma Chao's retreat to find out Ma Chao's army movements carefully."

"Here it is

Huang Zhong should bow his hand.

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "the army has conquered Longguan and is stationed in Longguan for the time being. When we get the news, we'll move in. In today's situation, we can't move in easily. "

"Here it is

All of us should go down together.

The current situation, Zhang Xiu see not true, chose to garrison Longguan.

Anyway, after seizing Longguan, Zhang Xiu tore up Longguan's defense and had the chance to enter Liangzhou. Now don't understand Ma Chao's intention, don't understand each other to do what, Zhang Xiu is first steady.

Find out the situation.

After the troops were stationed, they camped in place.

In the evening, Wang Yue came to the camp in a hurry and saw Zhang Xiu. He reported: "my Lord, just got the news, there was a large-scale spread of news in Longxian county and even in the rest of Liangzhou, saying that my Lord came to Liangzhou to kill Qiang people."

"Even, it is said that the Lord is a murderer, and he only knows Han people, not Qiang people, not foreigners. In order to provide evidence, Han Sui specifically quoted the story of Hu Chuquan and Yu Fuluo, saying that the Lord killed the Huns and built the capital temple. "

"Nowadays, many Qiang people in Liangzhou are agitated and impetuous."

Wang Yue worried: "this matter has been widely spread."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu narrowed her eyes and said, "Han Sui's move is to win over the people of Liangzhou and the Qiang people of Liangzhou. His mind is rather careful. "

Wang Yue said: "Han Sui is extremely treacherous."

Zhang Xiu asked, "is there a large number of royal guards in Liangzhou?"

"So much!"

Wang Yue nodded and replied, "Liangzhou is located at the border. There are countless Rangers living here. In particular, the chivalrous people in the bitter and cold places are willful and chivalrous, and they will kill if they don't agree with each other. For this reason, I recruited many rangers to work for the royal guards. "

Zhang liangxiu told people to live a better life in Liangzhou

"Tell them that when I arrived in Liangzhou, I was exempted from local corvee and taxes on farming. In addition, it will also set up a special market to reduce the price of salt and iron in Liangzhou, so that they can have a good life. "

Zhang xiudao said: "anyone who is obedient to Zhang Xiu, whether Qiang people in Liangzhou or Han people, will surely have a good life."After hearing this, Wang Yue was very surprised and said, "Lord, do you really want to exempt the taxes on corvee and farming?"

"Yes

Zhang Xiu said: "although there are many people farming in Liangzhou, in fact, most of them are Han people farming. The exemption from farming taxes is also for the Han people. "

"As for the rest of the Qiang people, most of them gathered in various tribes, few cultivated, and most of them raised sheep. In this case, the exemption of corvee and farming taxes is of little use to them. "

"That's just a good condition."

Zhang Xiu said: "it's not easy to really govern Liangzhou. But the first thing is to stabilize the situation in Liangzhou. "

Wang Yue said: "I understand your humble position!"

He immediately turned and left to arrange the action of the royal guards.

After Wang Yue left, Huang Zhong came in a hurry.

When Huang Zhong saw Zhang Xiu, he clasped his fist and said, "Lord, the sentinel sent back the latest news. Ma Chao did not stay in Longshan after he withdrew from Longguan, and his army retreated without hiding his whereabouts and went to Longxian county. "

Zhang Xiu was surprised to hear that.

He thought about it in his heart. After a while, he suddenly laughed and said, "I understand, I understand!"

Huang Zhong said, "what did you understand?"

Zhang xiudao said: "all kinds of signs show that Ma Chao is not willing to guard Longguan at all. At the beginning, Ma Chao spoke several times and asked me to threaten him with Ma Teng. He might withdraw. Now it seems that Ma Chao is sincere, he did not want to resist. If I threaten, he may actually withdraw. "

"Why?" Huang Zhong asked

Zhang Xiu replied: "if you think about it carefully, the reason is actually very simple, because Ma Chao is not willing to consume his troops in Longguan. Ma Chao really wants to beat me, but he will never accept that Han Sui is allowed to stand on the sidelines in the rear. "

"Therefore, Ma Chao in Longguan even a little defensive equipment, are not prepared."

"That's exactly what happened. Ma Chao resisted a little and withdrew directly."

"After Ma Chao withdrew, he went directly to Longxian. It can be seen that Ma Chao and Han Sui are still at odds. "

"This is absolutely the case," Zhang said

"My Lord is wise!"

Huang Zhong understood and said, "now Ma Chao is retreating to Longxian county. Let's rest here for one night. Early tomorrow morning, they will immediately go to Longxian. "

"Yes!"

Zhang Xiu answered directly.

After Huang Zhong got Zhang Xiu's command, he immediately stepped down and arranged to enter the army.
