Chapter 552: Defeat

As Fei Yao fell into the trap and was led out of the city, Han general Liu Yin, who had already been ordered to lead his troops, put on Cao's armor, pretended to open the city gate, and captured Didao City, an important place in Longxi.

General Fei Yao returned with his troops, but it was already too late.

A war flag with the word "Liu" has been planted on the city head, and Han general Liu Yin stands majestically on the city head.

The city was occupied, and the surrounding Han and Qiang coalition forces came again with shouts of killing.

How could Fei Yao dare to leave his mark? The company ordered all the troops to retreat to the enemy's weak areas.

This retreat also officially announced the change of ownership of Didao.

Waiting for the arrival of General Zhao and his troops, Liu Yin breathed a sigh of relief, then waved and opened the city gate to greet him.

He had indeed held his breath just now, fearing that Fei Yao would lead his troops to attack.

Then there is a real possibility that the city could be recaptured.

After all, he actually doesn't have many people under his command. If the opponent is really defeated, he may not be able to stop him.

Fortunately, Fei Yao looked at the pursuers behind him and did not dare to stay too long.

"Xiuren, please return to the city quickly and close the city gate, don't open it!"

After Zhao Tong arrived on horseback, he ordered with a serious face.

Liu Yin was a little puzzled for a moment, "General, what do you mean?"

"The Qiang soldiers are behind us. I am worried that once the Qiang people enter the city, they may not be able to control the situation."

"Okay, don't waste time, the Qiang soldiers are coming to kill you soon."

After finishing his words, Liu Yin looked at the solemn expression on his general's face and did not dare to show any slightness, so he quickly followed the order.

The city gates were closed again.

Seeing this, Zhao Tong breathed a sigh of relief. He led his knights to rush over first to inform Liu Yin to close the city gate.

Although Yang Wanwan restrained the Qiang people under his command because of his letter, no looting occurred along the way.

But Didao was a county in Longxi and had a dense population.

If Qiang soldiers really enter the city, there is no guarantee that the old disease will not be triggered.

Zhao Tong didn’t dare to gamble!

If the Baima Qiang were to rob the county, the reputation of being a benevolent and righteous teacher that we had worked so hard to build would be in vain.

Once you lose the hearts of the people of Longxi, you will face a massive counterattack by Cao Jun!

The situation will be very bad.

He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.

This is not only Zhao Tong's consistent policy, but also what the Han army pursues.

The source of all this is closely related to Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, who loved his people.

No matter how good a leader's character is, it can still greatly influence his subordinates.

The King of Wei, Cao Cao, often massacred cities and killed prisoners, which led to the generals under his command also following his example and killing prisoners frequently.



After closing the city gate, the Qiang army slowly advanced.

Looking at the prince Yang Wanwan who was surrounded by the Qiang people, Zhao Tong immediately showed a thick smile on his face, and led his guards to ride over with a smile on his face, and said with greetings:

"Hahaha……"

"I really appreciate the prince's help this time."

"Otherwise, our army might not be able to conquer Didao so easily."

After a burst of laughter, he cupped his hands and thanked her.

Seeing this, Yang Wanwan waved his hands and said, "General Zhao is out of sight now. Who among us is following the other? We should help each other, right?"

"What's more, we are now closely interdependent and Cao's army is undefeated. I'm afraid our Baima Qiang territory will also suffer."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, complimenting each other.

I felt happier for a while.

But after a while, Yang Wanwan seemed to notice that the city gate was closed, and the Han army units were camping and resting along the outside of the city. He couldn't help but look puzzled, and asked quickly:

"General Zhao, what does this mean?"

Hearing this, Zhao Tong smiled and said: "Oh, that's it. There are still some soldiers of Cao's army in the city who are resisting stubbornly."

"I ordered my subordinates to close the city gate tightly and act like a dog-locker to annihilate all the enemy forces."

After saying that, he paused before speaking, then his tone became much softer, and he responded:

"But Didao is the governor of Longxi County. There is a large population in the city, so it is not suitable to mix with too many soldiers and horses."

"If not, it will frighten the entire city, which is not good!"

"Oh I got it!"

After hearing this, Yang Wanwan nodded thoughtfully and then asked, "Are the troops sufficient? Do we need to send support into the city?"

"Farewell, farewell."

After finishing his words, Zhao Tong quickly waved his hand and responded: "The prince has already done a lot to break Didao this time. Your army has been marching and fighting one after another in recent days. I think the whole army is exhausted."

"The prince should lead his troops back to the camp to rest and recuperate. The remaining people can be handed over to our army."

"good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Wanwan naturally sensed Zhao Tong's innermost concerns from his words.

But after thinking about it for a moment, he didn't figure it out.

After all, he knew the military discipline of the tribesmen under his command very well!

Previously, he was just passing through villages and towns, and he could barely suppress it and prevent the looting from happening.

But this time it's different.

After entering the city and seeing the prosperity of Didao, he asked himself that even he himself might not be able to completely restrain the military discipline of his subordinates.

"Then if General Zhao needs help, please inform this prince in time."

Before Yang Wanlin led the crowd back to the camp, he tilted his head and said.

After Zhao Tong heard this, he nodded solemnly and said:

"good!"

"Prince, don't worry. If anything happens, I will seek help from your army."

"When Longxi is recovered, I will also truthfully report to the king Baima Qiang's achievements in helping our army conquer Longxi."

"I think that the King of Hanzhong is very clear about rewards and punishments, so I will definitely give you a heavy reward."

At the end of his words, he made a rather solemn promise.

When Yang Wanwanchu heard this, he nodded in agreement one after another, and then his face became more and more happy.



It was not until the main Qiang armies retreated back to the camp like a tide that the power that seemed to permeate the surrounding area slowly passed away.

Only the remaining Han army units were encamped and resting under the city.

As the sun sets in the west and evening comes, the sky in the distance seems to be covered with a layer of red sunset glow, which is extremely red.

In the camp, all the generals of the Han army were gathered together, and the leader, Zhao Tong, stood tightly.

The generals were busy discussing the next conquest of Xiangwu and Longsang cities.

"Xiangwu is also an important town. The city defense is extremely strong. It may be as difficult to attack as Didao."

"A strong attack may not be a good idea!"

"What should we do? Will our army just watch the show?"

"Yes, yes! If we delay it any longer, I'm afraid Cao's reinforcements will be waiting for us."

"If our army has not recovered the entire territory of Longxi by then, the situation will be extremely unfavorable!"

Everyone was talking to each other about it, but unfortunately they thought about it for a long time, but no one came up with an idea.

On the contrary, the commander-in-chief, Zhao Tong, looked calm and revealed a deep joy.

"General, what do you have in mind?"

The guard general Huo Yi on the side also quickly noticed his expression, raised his hands and asked loudly.

Hearing this, Zhao Tong smiled slightly and said, "If you break Xiangwu, it will be easy for Longsang."
