As the Han army units have retreated to Wangcheng Valley.

The main forces of Cao's army, which were chasing after them, also followed closely behind.

The sentry cavalry scattered at the front also sent messages of love to the general Dai Ling one after another.

Between the army formations.

At this moment, another military report was sent to the army.

After Dai Ling quickly opened the letter and checked it, his expression rose slightly and was imperceptible.

Zhao Ang, who was watching from the side, also observed carefully and captured this scene instantly.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but tilted his head and raised his hands and asked: "General Dai, what happened?"

In one word.

He just responded leisurely: "According to the report from the sentry cavalry, the Han army's cavalry retreated to Wangcheng Valley and then suddenly disappeared."

"There is no further movement back south."

After hearing these narrations, Zhao Ang's expression did not change at all, as if he had expected it, and said in a deep voice: "According to what I said, the situation is now very clear."

"As far as Ang knows, the terrain in Wangcheng Valley is a bit complicated, which is not conducive to large-scale military campaigns. If the enemy sets up an ambush here to fight our army, they can use the terrain to reduce the gap in strength between the two sides."

"Obviously, the enemy general Zhao Tongtong has already thought deeply about this."

The words ended slowly in a slightly brisk tone.

Immediately afterwards, he pondered for a while, and a hint of admiration appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "It seems that this boy is indeed not to be underestimated!"

"Although he is young, he is restrained but strong on the outside, and he is well-founded in his advance and retreat. He is indeed a formidable opponent!"

After finishing his words, Dai Ling on the side was silent for a moment.

He quite agreed with these words.

Despite the mutual hostility between the two sides, Zhao Tong, a young leader, can indeed be praised by everyone.

It's a pity that it's not Cao's camp.

"Hey, what Brother Weizhang said makes sense. If a young hero like Zhao Tong is in our army, it will be a great blessing for us."

"But looking at it now, this battle must be eliminated quickly. If not, in a few years, I am afraid this person will become more and more difficult to deal with!"

In one word.

Dai Ling's tone and facial expression gradually became serious at this time.

Although Zhao Ang's words just now made it almost clear that the enemy army would set up an ambush in the complex terrain of Wangcheng Valley.

But it did not waver in his determination to march forward and completely annihilate the Shu army.

"Does General Dai have a perfect plan?"

Hearing this, Dai Ling glanced at him deeply, and then said in a deep voice without changing his expression: "I have decided to order the front troops to advance forward and draw out the ambushes of the Shu army."

"The main force of our army entered again and started a melee with them."

"The Shu army currently only has a few thousand troops. In a frontal melee, we can use our superior strength to separate them and encircle them. This is our strength!"

After saying that, his expression gradually softened, and he asked softly: "What does Brother Weizhang think of this move?"

"The general has thought carefully and thinks it can be done!"

As soon as he said this, Zhao Ang did not show any objection on his face and responded directly. However, after he said this, he thought about it for a long time, and his face suddenly changed into a look of sadness, and he said:

"If we just fight against this Shu army, a war will break out with them."

"There's no need to worry too much!"

"Even if the enemy army occupies a favorable terrain and has capable soldiers, it will be easy for our army to defeat it in the face of absolute strength!"

The words end here.

But instead of seeing a smile on Zhao Ang's face, he looked increasingly sad.

Dai Ling saw this and had always been on good terms with him, so he knew something about his nature.

Then the Prime Minister couldn't help but asked: "Brother Weizhang, do you still have any concerns?"

"Of course!"

After hearing this, Zhao Ang did not hesitate too much and responded directly, and then went on to explain: "Ang is worried whether the Shu army has colluded with the surrounding Qiang tribes."

"Join us secretly and take advantage of the situation to attack and kill our army?"

"Hooking up the Qiang people?"

As soon as he said this, Dai Ling looked dismissive, obviously not taking the matter to heart, and immediately responded: "This matter is unlikely."

"The Qiang people have a habit of going back on their word, being treacherous and greedy for profit. They are ambitious and covet our Han land."

"Moreover, Zhao Tong is just a young boy with a yellow mouth. Although his military strategy talents have been demonstrated, he has just arrived in Liangzhou and has not yet established his reputation. How can the Qiang people be willing to dispatch him?"

The conversation ended quickly.

Dai Ling thought for a while and couldn't help but say solemnly: "If that thief Ma Chao leads his troops to the north, our army must be very careful about this."

"But, so far, except for Ma Chao, none of the other generals in the Shu army can mobilize the Qiang people for help with their power."

In one word.

Zhao Ang listened quietly from the side, and after a while he nodded in agreement and echoed: "The general's words are reasonable. Even though Zhao Tong is a young leader, he was so poor when he first arrived in Liangzhou.

Just a few months.”

"It's too difficult to get the Qiang people to help."

Just one word.

As soon as his voice changed, he showed vigilance again and said: "It's just that the so-called guarding against others is indispensable."

"Although it seems unlikely, our army cannot relax."

"This is a matter of life and death, and no slight possibility can be ignored."

"After all, General Fei wanted to attack when the Shu army had newly arrived in Qiang Road and was still unstable and unaccustomed to the climate. But at that time, Zhao Tong summoned the Shenlang Qiang to help."

"We can't rule out that the Shu army will use its old tricks again now."

As soon as this was said.

There was no change or ups and downs on Dai Ling's face, but there was a hint of solemnity in his heart unconsciously.

In the previous battle, he followed the army.

The Wolf Warrior Legion of Shenlang Qiang is also famous far and near!

But at that time, Zhao Tong only led his army to Qiang Road for the first time, and he was able to make the Qiang people borrow their most proud Wolf Warrior Legion to defend against the enemy.

Is this person’s charm evident?

Zhao Ang also reminded that even if the possibility of being able to persuade the Qiang people this time was slightly smaller, precautions should not be taken completely.

Just thinking about this,

He slowly thought about it for a moment, and then said directly: "Brother Weizhang reminds me that this matter is related to the overall situation and should not be underestimated!"

The words had just settled down.

He immediately waved his hand and summoned a team of sentries.

"You and others disperse quickly and quietly inquire among the Qiang tribes scattered around Wangcheng Valley."

"If there is any military information, you can return immediately and report it to the general."

"This matter is of great importance and there must be no mistake!"

"Here."

The order was quickly passed down, and all the scouts stood on horseback and agreed.

Then he galloped away quickly!

Seeing Dai Ling's actions, Zhao Ang had a slightly worried look on his face, which gradually improved.

He believed that as long as he could pay attention to the surrounding Qiang people, the two armies would fight in a melee.

In any case, tens of thousands of people are fighting against thousands of cavalry.

The advantage is mine!

It is a pity that the main general Fei Yao is currently suffering from serious injuries in the rear and is unable to lead his troops to supervise the battle.

Otherwise, he would never dare to look down upon the Shu army's secret alliance with the Qiang people.

After some discussion.

Although it has been roughly understood that the Shu army retreating south is ambushed in the complex and narrow Wangcheng Valley.

But Dai Ling didn't stop there.

Instead, they dispatched scouts to explore the surrounding areas and take precautions to prevent the Qiang people from joining forces with them and attacking their own side.
