"What, the reverse Shu attacked the watershed and cut off Fu Luo Dao?" When Cao Shuang heard the news, he was eating, and after hearing the news, he was shocked, his hand shook, and the chopsticks immediately fell to the ground.

This news, for Cao Shuang, was like a thunderbolt in the sky, and he was completely stunned.

Cao Shuang has always attached great importance to the logistics of the army, in order to ensure the safety of the grain road, he set up checkpoints in dozens of dangerous places on the Fu Luo Road, and strictly armed, even if a mouse wants to pass through, it will be discovered.

The watershed is located in the middle of Luogu and Fu Valley, which is the peak of the Qinling Mountains, and how the Shu army bypassed the many checkpoints of the Wei army to conquer the watershed, Cao Shuang was puzzled.

But this result for the Wei army, but almost fatal, the Shu army cut off the Wei army on the survival of the grain route, will inevitably lead to more than 100,000 Wei army into a food shortage, now the Wei army's front line of grain, is less than half a month, half a month after the grain and grass is exhausted, the Wei army will be completely finished.

Cao Shuang immediately convened all the generals and staff to discuss and find a solution to the crisis.

Most of the generals were still confused when they were summoned, after all, the news of the Shu army's capture of the watershed had just reached the camp, and it had not had time to spread, and the generals had not yet figured out what was going on, which would make Cao Shuang summon everyone so anxiously.

When Xiahou Xuan was summoned, he was discussing with Cao Liang and others in the camp, discussing how to break through the defense line of the Shu army, and he couldn't help but say: "In such a hurry, is there something important going on?" ”

The herald said: "The humble post is only to summon the generals by the order of the general, as for what it is, the humble post does not know anything, and General Xiahou will know when he goes to the Chinese military tent." ”

Xiahou Xuan waved back the herald and said to Cao Liang: "The general's military order has never been so urgent, there must be something big happening, you and I should go and check it out quickly." ”

Cao Liang said: "With such a hundred thousand urgency, there must be something big happening, except for Fu Luodao, I'm afraid there is nothing that can make the general so anxious." ”

Xiahou Xuan said suspiciously: "The grain road is indeed the top priority, once it is lost, the consequences are unimaginable, but the Fu Luo Road is well guarded, and there are many soldiers and horses escorting grain and grass, how can there be a problem?" ”

Cao Liang immediately said hehe, Xiahou Xuan also took it for granted, there is no fortress in the world that cannot be broken, let alone a valley road that stretches for more than 400 miles, how difficult it is to defend this valley road, it is simply whimsical to want to do it with only tens of thousands of people.

When he arrived at Cao Shuang's Chinese army camp, almost all the generals of each battalion had already arrived, including Xiahouba, Sima Zhao, Guo Huai, Ding Mi, Deng Yang, Li Sheng, Yang Wei and others.

Cao Shuang saw Xiahou Xuan's arrival, and hurriedly got up to greet him, Cao Liang saw Cao Shuang's eyes, panicked, his face turned pale, his lips were purple, and he looked like a master of six gods.

"Taichu, you came just in time, this time something really happened." Cao Shuang stepped forward to take Xiahou Xuan's hand and said eagerly.

"What's wrong?" Xiahou Xuan asked.

"I just received a report that Jiang Wei, a rebel general against Shu, led his troops to attack the watershed, Shenling and Yaling, and set up an ambush on Fu Luo Road, ambushed our army's grain convoy, robbed tens of thousands of grains and grass, and cut off our army's grain route, how do you think this is good?"

Xiahou Xuan glanced at Cao Liang, don't say it, Cao Liang's prediction was really accurate, and there was really a problem with the grain road.

"How did Jiang Wei arrive at the watershed?"

Yang Wei, who joined the army, got up and said: "According to the information we have received so far, Jiang Wei is a watershed that sneaked up from an unknown path, and we can't guard against it." ”

Xiahou Xuan frowned, he also knew that there were many forks in the Qinling Mountains, but which one was a dead end and which one was a path, this was indeed too difficult, hundreds of miles of valley roads, not to mention tens of thousands of forks, even if they were pursued one by one, they might not be able to find out clearly, so it was really as Yang Wei said, it was impossible to prevent it.

In terms of geography in Hanzhong, the Shu army is definitely superior to the Wei army, after all, this is someone's territory, and it is not too strange that Jiang Wei can find a path from Hanzhong to the watershed.

The watershed is a dangerous point stuck on the Fu Luo Road, and the Shu army occupies the watershed, which completely cuts off the Fu Luo Road, and the Wei army can no longer transport grain and grass through the Fu Luo Road.

This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Wei army, and Xiahou Xuan immediately said: "Then the top priority now is to recapture Sanling, restore the traffic of Fu Luo Road, and restore the smooth flow of grain roads." ”

Sima Zhao sneered and said: "Recapture Sanling, this is not easy, Fu Luo Road is already difficult and dangerous, and the watershed, Shenling, and Yaling are even more dangerous. At the beginning, a certain person once said, the gentleman does not erect a dangerous wall, Xingshi Chihan is a lonely and dangerous place, once the food is exhausted, it will be a place of death, if you listen to a certain words and withdraw earlier, how can you fall into today's situation. ”

At that time, when the Wei army withdrew to Chisaka, Sima Zhao persuaded Cao Shuang to withdraw immediately and return to Guanzhong, of course, it was not only Sima Zhao who persuaded Cao Shuang to withdraw the army, but also Yang Wei, Xiahou Xuan and others, Yang Wei even scolded Deng Yang, Li Sheng, Ding Mi and others in front of Cao Shuang for misleading the country.

It's just that Cao Shuang listened to the words of Ding Mi and others, and still had certain illusions about the land of Hanzhong, so he didn't make up his mind to retreat, and wanted to fight again, maybe there was still a chance.

It's a pity that Cao Shuang stayed in Chisaka for a long time, and fought with the Shu army several times, but failed to make any progress.

Now it is not only the problem of the grain road being cut off, but even the Wei army has no chance to retreat, this is the rhythm of the annihilation of the whole army, no wonder Cao Shuang was completely panicked after learning the news.

Xiahou Ba said in a deep voice: "Now it is useless to say that these hindsight cannons, only to recapture Sanling is the only way for our army to survive. ”

Xiahou Ba knew that this was not the time to complain to each other, trapped in Chisaka, he could only sit and wait for death, if he wanted to return to Guanzhong alive, he had to fight his way out, and there was no second choice.

Xiahou Ba's face was full of disdain for Sima Zhao and Guo Huai, two guys who could only put an afterthought, if it wasn't for their loss of Dingjun Mountain, would the Wei army have fallen to this point today?

Others can't be relied on, and only by fighting desperately with their own army can they have a way to live.

Cao Shuang was overjoyed when he saw Xiahou Ba taking the initiative to ask for his life, and immediately allocated 50,000 horses to Xiahouba, and ordered him to attack the three mountains such as the watershed with all his might, so as to break through the siege and kill a bloody way for the army.
