Cao Shuang coughed lightly and said: "Well, it has been decided before, and the responsibility is not on General Sima and Guo Tingshi, so General Sima and Guo Tingshi are not at fault, so there is no talk of accountability, and this matter has been revealed, and no one is allowed to mention it again." ”

Xiahou Ba glanced at Sima Zhao stupidly, and sneered: "Did you really do your best, General Sima probably knows it, right?" ”

Sima Zhao said angrily: "What does Xiahou Hujun mean, is it possible to say that the two of us have failed to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?" ”

Xiahou Ba snorted heavily and said, "I didn't say that, if General Sima himself admits it, it's okay." ”

Sima Zhao's face changed suddenly, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Xiahou Ba, you spray people with blood!" ”

Xiahou said domineeringly: "The facts are there, how can I slander you?" If Dingjun Mountain is not lost, why is it today's situation? ”

Guo Huai said leisurely: "Yes, we are at fault for losing Dingjun Mountain, but we are not the only ones who are at fault, if it wasn't for Ling Zun's loss of Dingjun Mountain, why would Hanzhong fall into the hands of rebels?" Ling Zun lost the Dingjun Mountain, not only was there no fault, but it was meritorious, isn't the Xiahou Protector now attacking his father? According to Xiahou Guard, Ling Zun not only should not be posthumously sealed, but should be pulled out and whipped to the corpse. ”

When Xiahou Ba heard that Guo Huai had insulted his father, his eyes immediately split, and he stepped forward to grab Guo Huai and scuffle in one place.

The banquet suddenly became chaotic, everyone pulled Xiahouba and Guo Huai apart, and the two of them attacked each other uncleanly, Cao Shuang's face was pale, and he walked away, and the banquet was unhappily dispersed.

Cao Liang didn't expect Xiahouba to be so hot, and he would fight with Guo Huai without saying a word, which was indeed a loss of grace.

However, Xiahou Ba didn't care at all, usually their relationship was not harmonious, just sneering a few words, today Guo Huai actually insulted Xiahou Yuan, it was Xiahou Ba's reverse scales, and beating him was light.

After leaving the banquet, Xiahou Xuan complained: "Second uncle, you are too impulsive, why do you do it if you don't agree with each other, it will lose your identity." ”

Xiahou Ba had drunk a lot of wine, but when he went outside, the cold wind blew, and most of the wine woke up, but he obviously did not regret his previous behavior, and said proudly: "Guo Huai's dog mongrel bullied people too much, and dared to insult his father, I can't wait to screw off his head!" ”

Xiahou Xuan said: "Second uncle, you make the general very embarrassed, originally the general was on your side, but in this way, we will lose money." ”

Xiahou said domineeringly: "If there is any responsibility, I will bear it, if the general wants to punish him, I will bear it alone!" ”

However, in the end, this matter was over, Cao Shuang neither blamed Xiahou Ba, nor did he pursue Sima Zhao and Guo Huai's responsibility for dereliction of responsibility, which was equivalent to a fifty board each.

After Xiahou Ba's army returned to the army, whether the Wei army advanced or retreated, two different voices appeared, and even Cao Shuang was a little hesitant for a while.

Xiahou Xuan and others advocated the withdrawal of the army, after all, in this battle of Hanzhong, the Wei army suffered a lot of losses, and now that the Shu army has reinforcements, the Wei army may not have many opportunities, so there is no need to withdraw as soon as possible to minimize the losses.

But Ding Mi, Li Sheng and others resolutely disagreed with the withdrawal of the army, believing that the defeat of the Wei army before was only caused by the elongation of the battle line, and now the Wei army is not inferior to the Shu army in terms of numbers, and the Shu army currently occupies Xingshi Mountain and can enter Hanzhong at any time.

Ding Mi believes that if the army retreats at this moment, it will be tantamount to abandoning the previous achievements, and the army has paid so much price but has gained nothing, is it a pity, it is better to seize the opportunity to enter the Hanzhong Plain at any time, and keep harassing the Shu army, looking for its flaws, maybe there will be a chance to take Hanzhong again.

Cao Shuang is naturally inclined to the latter opinion, his purpose in attacking Shu this time is very clear, that is, to conquer the city, make meritorious achievements, and use a big victory to eliminate people's doubts.

Who said that he Cao Shuang would not lead the troops, this outstanding record is in front of them, who would dare to refute it?

It's a pity that it backfired, and a battle that was supposed to be a vigorous victory ended in the end, but I am afraid that from now on, the world will despise him even more Cao Shuang, and his prestige has fallen to the freezing point.

So even if there is still a little hope, Cao Shuang is unwilling to take the initiative to evacuate, Ding Mi has always been the advocate of Cao Shuang's army to destroy Shu, and Cao Shuang's trust in him is far greater than that of others.

Since Cao Shuang is unwilling to withdraw from the army deep down, Ding Mi took the initiative to amplify Cao Shuang's inner world, which naturally won Cao Shuang's trust.

However, although Ding Mi can observe words and colors, but on the military journey, he is a rolling pin blowing fire - he doesn't know anything, so although Ding Mi's suggestion is the same as Cao Shuang's heart, it is difficult to meet the situation that the Wei army is facing now.

Fei Yi's army also entered the Hanzhong Plain as scheduled, and now the strength of the Shu army in Hanzhong has reached more than 100,000 people, and the total strength of the two sides is roughly equal.

However, in terms of momentum, the Shu army is obviously superior to the Wei army, now the Shu army occupies almost all the fortresses in Hanzhong, to wait for work, if the Wei army does not want to withdraw the army, only to these fortified cities to march, the previous Shu army can resist when the soldiers are small, now the army is strong, the Wei army has no chance at all.

The battle situation between the two sides has entered a relatively stable stalemate period from the big ups and downs, and the battle line has been stable in the area of Xingshi Mountain.

Obviously, after the Hanzhong War, the two sides were much more cautious in the way of using troops, and the Shu army was tightly defended in the area of the two cities of Hanle, blocking many roads, and the Wei army had no chance to take advantage of it at all, and there was no chance to take advantage of it.

Xiahou Xuan and others were not optimistic about this war, and strongly persuaded Cao Shuang to withdraw as soon as possible, but Cao Shuang seemed to be determined to win the battle that could be done, and he insisted on his own opinion.

Everyone was also helpless, so they had to obey the general's orders, perform their duties, and try their best to deal with the Shu army.

The battle between the two sides continued in this way, and the Wei army tightly guarded the mountain, and the Shu army had no chance to take advantage of it.

The Wei army sent troops into the Hanzhong Plain several times, but due to the lack of attack and lack of backup, they could only withdraw back one after another, and it was difficult to achieve the desired results.

The stalemate in the war situation is a severe test for the logistical supply lines of both sides, especially the Wei army, which has thousands of miles of food and grain, and the longer the war drags on, the more difficult the logistical supply will be.
