The crucial Jieting was lost, and Tianshui was directly exposed to Wang Xiao.

If it were Ma Su and Zhuge Liang, this would be to cut off their heads to correct military discipline.

But now it is Zhang Fei and Liu Bei, and that is the only way to solve the problem of the thief army.

Because he lost the Jieting, the key to the throat, Liu Bei did not think that he could conquer Wang Xiao, who had few soldiers and had many soldiers.

He chose to retreat slowly and retreated to Tianshui to prepare for a decisive battle with Wang Xiao there.

The ancient geographical environment is very different from that of modern times.

For example, the Longyou generation was full of beautiful mountains and rivers and lush trees in ancient times.

The land here is fertile and densely populated, and it is a good place for many years of development.

As for the terrain, there are many mountains on the side and the Wei River flows by. It is a typical river valley basin landform.

Liu Bei took the initiative to give up fighting for Jieting, which surprised Wang Xiao. He thought that the Emperor of Shu Han would come to fight.

When the subsequent troops arrived one after another, Wang Xiao left the defenders and then slowly led the army to Tianshui.

In the eyes of many people, the commander's ability is the most tested during war.

But in fact, this is even more so in terms of marching.

Arrange queues, camping, arrange everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation, arrange for those who fall behind and escape, arrange routes and time, etc.

If you can't do these things well, the brigade of soldiers will collapse as they walk.

Arrangement of marches is the real test of personal abilities. Being able to be well-equipped is the style of a general.

Wang Xiao was doing things, and everyone around him was observing him silently.

Whether a person has the ability or not is not said by his mouth, but by doing things.

Whether a lord has the ability to be a master has a critical influence on the mentality and performance of his subordinates.

The generals are divided into nine categories and the military discussion is about four factions.

One of the nine generals is a benevolent general, which means sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers and sympathizing with the people. The Yue family army, which is frozen to death and never dismantle things, is the iconic existence of it.

Second, it is a righteous general. Those who value love and righteousness are not tempted are righteous generals. The representative figure is naturally Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang.

The third is the etiquette general. You can tell that it is etiquette when you look at the characters. The representative figure is Kong Rong.

The four are wise generals. When fighting, they are unpredictable and their strategic and tactical intentions are difficult to see through. The one who can turn danger into safety when the situation is unfavorable is the wise general. The representative figure is Zhu Ge, who is singing the empty city plan.

Five is trusted generals, rewards and punishments are clear, and strict military discipline is trusted generals. Yue Wumu is trusted generals. The military discipline of the Yue family army was good in that era and it was unimaginable.

Six are the generals of the army, with strong strength and good at infantry combat. Dian Wei and Xu Chu are both representatives of the army.

Seven is a cavalry general, and the one who is good at cavalry fighting is a cavalry general. There are so many of this? Li Mu, Huo Qubing, Wei Qing, Li Jing and others are all the peak figures of cavalry.

Eight are powerful generals? The ones who are brave and fearless in combat, and are unparalleled in brave generals are powerful generals. Xiang Yu and Zhang Fei are both synonyms for powerful generals.

Nine is the general who can coordinate the overall situation, properly arrange all matters, and judge the situation and make reasonable responses and arrangements. This is the real general.

There is no doubt that Wang Xiao is a convincing general of the army.

In addition, there are four military factions.

The four sects of military strategists are also called the four sects of military strategists. They are military strategists? They refer to military power and strategy? Military yin and yang, military situation, and military skills.

Military power and strategy means defending the country with righteousness? Using strange forces to use military strategies? First plan and then fight, and the situation is combined with yin and yang.

Simply put, it is to fight a dignified battle, enhance one's own strength, and use strategic advantageous forces to carry out crushing battles.

The representative figures are Sun Wu who wrote about Sun Tzu's Art of War, Wu Qi and others who wrote about Wu Zi.

The situation of the military is that the thunder and wind rises, and the arrival comes first, the clutch and the convergence is inconsistent, and the enemy is defeated by light speed.

Simply put, it is to focus on tactical command skills? It can use changeable tactics and flexibly command on the battlefield.

Such generals can often achieve very shocking and terrifying results.

The representative figures are 30,000 to 300,000 in the Battle of Pengcheng. Liu Bang, who killed, pushed his wife and children off the carriage and fled in a panic. During the Battle of Julu, 50,000 to 400,000. The princes who killed did not dare to look at each other. When they entered the camp, they all knelt down and worshiped Xiang Yu.

Military yin and yang refer to combat methods that rely on environmental factors outside the battlefield such as the right time and place, such as water attack and fire, fog raids, etc.

The representative figure is Sun Bin, who surrounded Wei and saved Zhao twice, killed the world-famous Wei Wuzhang almost wiped out the entire army. Of course, there is also Zhuge Kongming who could summon wind and rain in the Romance of Legends.

The final military skills focus on soldiers training and the invention and use of new weapons.

The representative figure in this area was the Mohist city guarding the Mohist family in ancient times. Later, I wrote the new book of Ji Xiao and the actual military training. Not only did I practice excellent military training, but I also used firearms reasonably. The bandits killed in the north by the sea and were crying Qi Jiguang.

Through this period of marching, the generals believed that Wang Xiao himself had the talent of a general.

Moreover, he was proficient in cavalry tactics, and once killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou, emphasizing military discipline and clear rewards and punishments.

That is, he takes up the share of the cavalry, the powerful, the trusted, and the benevolent.

Before going to war, we should concentrate on mobilizing forces and pay attention to using strong power to suppress the weak.

In the Battle of Jieting, he decisively attacked Zhang Fei's troops and set fire to the mountains. He made everyone put him in the ranks of military power and military situation.

If you have these abilities, you will definitely be more than able to be the commander of the First Army.

The only thing that surprised everyone was how Wang Xiao did it at his age.

These things cannot be learned by reading military books. They have to have experienced countless battles and grown up through blood and accumulated experience.

Wang Xiao has fought many battles, but it is incredible that he can achieve this level now.

For the Cao army generals, Wang Xiao's excellence made them feel excited.

After all, no one wants to follow a fool to die. The stronger the coach's ability, the happier the people below will naturally be.

The army approached Tianshui and fought a face-to-face battle with Liu Bei's troops.

Wang Xiao didn't play tactics, but he just relied on the superior strength of the Wei army to conduct crushing combat.

The army pushed across the road, and everyone who came to stop him would attack him.

If you win, you won't pursue it blindly, and you will still be able to advance in a stable formation.

If you lose, readjust and then play again. Go round after round until you crush and resist.

Faced with such tough battles that rely entirely on strength, Liu Xuande cursed with a stingy voice, saying that Wang Xiao was like an old man in war.

In order to stop Wang Xiao's advancement, Liu Bei's army has had a prosperous tactics and used all kinds of strategies.

It is like a fool who deceives surrenders and lures the enemy, attacks the camp at night, burns fire and breaks the road, and leads the water of the Wei River to flood it, harass it along the way, attacks the food road, and deceives it and lures into the ambush circle.

It can be said that Liu Bei and the others have used everything they can in tactics, but unfortunately they have no effect.

Wang Xiao is experienced and can see through most of his strategies.

Even if there is something that cannot be seen through, he can still keep his fighting intentions and will not step on your trap at all.

If you don’t fall into the trap, you won’t be fooled. The effect of the tactics will naturally not be reflected.

Wang Xiao directly swallowed all his men and horses and soldiers.

The camp attacked at night, Wangxiao camp was strong and had strict orders that all troops were not allowed to go out to fight. All kinds of tricks were not used, and they could only force the camp to force their lives. For Liu Bei's army, it was definitely not worth the loss.

It would be even more ridiculous if the fire burns out and breaks the road. This is not a narrow road like the Chencang Road in Ziwu Road. Qishan Road is so spacious that if the fire attack is useful, it must attract the heavenly fire that falls from the sky.

It is obvious that Liu Bei was the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, and his relationship with Liu Xiu was a bit far away. He could not do such a thing as summoning meteorites.

Even if Wang Xiao did not advance, he would squat and watch the fun with his army. He would not be able to build a dam that could be built in a large scale for Liu Bei for a month.

As the saying goes, the terrain determines everything.

Qishan Road is very spacious, and the fire cannot be burned, and the Wei River water cannot be submerged.

As for the ambush and harassment along the way, they would just shoot and shoot back.

Those who took a detour to intercept the food road were just gone and never came back.

Cao Cao likes to cut off people's food and grass in war, and Wang Xiao also likes to do this when he is in war.

People who like to cut off food and grass must attach great importance to their own food channels. They are also well aware of the means and routines of robbing food channels, so they are also easy to deal with.

He pretended to be defeated and lured the enemy into the ambush circle, and then was beaten and wiped out. This kind of thing must have no effect on Wang Xiao, because he had read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

What is the valley above, what is the fire-burning vine armor soldier, etc. If he can be deceived into the Jedi and besieged, he must have gotten into his mind.

In fact, from a strategic perspective, Wang Xiao's original intention was to use Xiahou Yuan as bait to attract the main force of Liu Bei's army from the Baoxie Road. He himself took a detour to Qishan and attacked Hanzhong side by side.

In this case, even if Xiahou Yuan was defeated, Liu Bei could not kill him as long as the troops deployed near Chang'an blocked each intersection.

At that time, Wang Xiao had already reached the Hanzhong Basin and cut off Liu Bei's retreat.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei saw through his plan and asked Zhuge Liang to block Xiahou Yuan in the Baoxi Road. He brought his main force to Qishan to fight, preparing to defeat him, and then follow the trend to enter Guanzhong.

Wang Xiao was at a disadvantage in strategy, but with his strong strength in tactics, he crushed Liu Bei step by step.

If you don’t have strength, no matter how good the strategic layout is, it will be useless.

After Wang Xiao conquered Tianshui, Liu Xuande had to withdraw his troops in full.

Qishan Road is spacious all the way and is very suitable for large army operations.

Knowing that he could not beat the front, Liu Bei simply gave up Qishan Road and retreated to Lueyang to defend it based on the terrain.

The terrain there is different, it can be said that one man can pass by ten thousand men.

Wang Xiao's army drove over, and it was his turn to chew on the tough guys.

Lueyang is located at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains and the western edge of the Hanzhong Basin. This is the exit of Qishan Road. After the landing here, it will directly face the Hanzhong Basin.

Liu Bei not only left heavy troops to garrison here, but also mobilized the nearby Di people to attack Wang Xiao's food route.

Wang Xiao didn't care about the Di people, just sent troops to kill them.
