"And what is there that even the cavalry can't use? There is only one possibility, to transport grain and grass for Liu Bei's army. ”

"Before, we cut off the grain road in the Meridian Valley area, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses only have two possibilities, fight to the death with us to recapture the grain road, or attack Nanzheng and grab grain and grass from Nanzheng's city, but we ignored Ma Chao's Xiliang horses."

"There are thousands of Xiliang war horses, going back and forth to the valley, transporting grain and grass from Chang'an to Chenggu, it is not a difficult task, if the speed is fast enough, it should only take ten days to be able to run a round trip. This is also why, Liu Zhang and Liu Bei teamed up a long time ago, they could have done it many days ago, but it was delayed for so long. ”

"I think it should be that in order to stabilize the morale of the soldiers and horses under his command, Liu Bei asked Ma Chao to transport back the first batch of grain and grass from Chang'an."

This can be seen from the fact that no one has transported the second batch of grain and grass back in the past ten days in the Meridian Valley. Because the people who walked the Meridian Valley had already learned the news in advance, it is estimated that the news was transmitted from the direction of the Slope Valley. ”

Guo Jia said all the guesses in his heart in one breath.

And the content of the speculation is basically very much in line with the situation on Liu Bei's side.

After being heard by Liu Zheng and others, they immediately understood the whole process of the incident.

Liu Zheng was obviously a little unwilling.

"Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, good, very good, this time I am a light enemy."

Liu Zheng gritted his teeth, and was still somewhat angry with these two guys with the same surname as himself.

Anger is anger, but Liu Zheng is still very reasonable, and now in this situation, Liu Zheng can't continue to stay here.

If he stays here, what he is waiting for will be a more ferocious attack by Liu Zhang and Liu Bei, especially if Liu Bei and Liu Zhang learn that Liu Zheng is also in Hanzhong, then Liu Zheng's life will definitely not be guaranteed.

Liu Bei and Liu Zhang will not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they will definitely attack here at all costs.

Therefore, Liu Zheng also had to evacuate here before his whereabouts were exposed.

When the sun rose in the east, the battlefield was empty after a noisy night.

There used to be a large camp, a camp that stretched for several miles, but at this time there were only some burnt firewood, discarded armor flags, and unclaimed corpses.

There was blood everywhere, and there was a strong and pungent smell of blood.

In the sky, from time to time, a few hovering black birds appeared, sometimes falling, sometimes flying up and making a low chirping.

The newborn morning sun shone on the land from the east, dissipating the morning fog and revealing a terrifying and lonely scene on the battlefield.

From the scene after these people left, it can be seen that there was a fierce battle here last night.

It's just that such a dilapidated scene can't bring much warning to people, nor can it change the way of this panicked world.

A few days later, months later, it will be forgotten.

The bones all over the ground will only become nourishment for weeds, nourishing a blooming flower.

West Side.

After Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses returned here, on the one hand, they began to treat the wounded soldiers, and on the other hand, they immediately sent a large number of spies to pay close attention to the dynamics of Liu Bei's side.

Once Liu Bei has the intention of attacking Xicheng with a large army, Liu Zheng will retreat for dozens of miles and retreat the camp to Shangyong City.

But fortunately, maybe it was last night's battle, which caused Liu Bei's soldiers and horses to lose a lot, plus the rest of the men and horses, they were very tired, and in a short time, Liu Bei was not in a hurry to find trouble with Liu Zheng.

However, Liu Bei did not miss this opportunity, and only rested for three days, and after three days, he instigated Liu Zhang, and again transferred 20,000 troops from Liu Zhang's Nanzheng City, plus Liu Bei's own 20,000 horses.

led an army of 40,000 and came straight to Xicheng.

Liu Zheng had just returned to Xicheng and had some respite, and wanted to take advantage of the city of Xicheng to compete with Liu Bei's soldiers and horses again.

However, Guo Jia told Liu Zheng that it was not a good place to fight Liu Bei in Xicheng.

Xicheng is a small city, the walls are not strong, tens of thousands of troops attacked, fully capable of defeating it.

Besides, they don't need to attack the city, recapture the grain road, and slowly consume it with Liu Zheng here, which is enough to trap the soldiers and horses in Xicheng City to death.

In addition, Liu Zheng's reinforcements, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Sun Jian, were still on the way over, and it was not a wise move to fight in Xicheng.

In the end, Liu Zheng still chose to retreat first and avoid the edge for the time being.

The army was withdrawn to Shangyong.

For the time being, he will not confront Liu Bei's soldiers and horses.

After recovering Xicheng, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang were both a little excited.

I wanted to continue the pursuit in one go, and completely drive Liu Zheng's men and horses out of the Hanzhong area, but when I was attacking Shangyong, I saw the reinforcements from Liu Zheng's side and came from Jingzhou to reinforce them.

Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses on his side suddenly had more than 10,000 people, plus the town was guarded in Shangyong.

Shangyong is not a small city like Xicheng, but an important town. If you want to knock it down, it's not so easy.

Liu Bei's men and horses, there is no intention of attacking, Liu Zhang's people naturally will not be the first bird, both sides are waiting for reinforcements, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, they will begin to attack Shangyong and recover the lost territory.

However, the war had not yet started, and at this time, a bad news came from Xichuan.

Yizhou Mu Liu Yan died.

Liu Zhang wants to return to Yizhou to inherit the position of state pastor, and it is impossible to continue to stay here and deal with Liu Bei to deal with Liu Zheng.

He was to depart with his men and horses.

Liu Bei originally wanted to continue to transfer troops to reinforce Hanzhong, and began to counterattack when Liu Zheng's troops were weak, but Liu Zhang left at this time, so that some of the confidence Liu Bei just had was empty again.

When someone's father died, he couldn't let people not go back to worship, and there was still a position to inherit, so he had no choice but to delay the attack on Liu Zheng first.

When the news was transmitted back to Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng laughed out loud and laughed three times in a row.

It's really, God is helping him.

If Liu Bei and Liu Zhang's men and horses want to attack Shangyong, there will be no other reinforcements in a short period of time in the battle of Shangyong, and it is really not easy to block the joint efforts of Erliu.

But now, the crisis has been directly solved.

Liu Zheng thought about it carefully, and it seemed that Liu Yan in history did die at this time.

Without the action of external forces, Liu Yan can be regarded as the end of his life and withdrew from the stage of history.

A generation of male masters can be regarded as having a good death.

The end of the battle of Hanzhong was not a good result for the three forces.
