Xiahou Ba and Yang Hu were stunned, and Xiahou said domineeringly: "Is Cao Changshi worried that Sima Zhao and Guo Huai will not be able to do their best?" ”

Cao Liang said in a deep voice: "If there is anyone in the army who doesn't want this time to succeed in Shu, I'm afraid it is Sima Zhao and Guo Huai, when Guo Huai was a pioneer before, he didn't work hard, do you remember the battle of Huaishu Peak, if Guo Huai uses a little bit of heart, why would Shu General Fu Yan escape?" The general appointed two people to guard Dingjun Mountain this time, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious! ”

Xiahou Bahu said suspiciously: "If they easily throw away Dingjun Mountain, aren't they afraid of military punishment?" ”

Cao Liang said: "If the general's attack on Shu is successful, the most affected must be Sima Yi, Sima Yi is in the court because of his military merits to have a prominent position, if the general's merits are in his body, no one will dare to slander again, this is probably the biggest purpose of the general's attack on Shu." Sima Zhao and Guo Huai, one is Sima Yi's son, and the other is Sima Yi's cronies, so naturally they want to protect Sima Yi's interests and do their best to prevent the general from making meritorious contributions. ”

"If this is the case, then we must quickly report to the general, ask him to remove Sima Zhao and Guo Huai, and send another general to guard Dingjun Mountain." Xiahou Ba said in a hurry.

"If my expectations are correct, Dingjun Mountain will be closed at this moment." Cao Liang shook his head lightly and sighed.

Xiahou Ba's face was shocked, and he said in a lost voice: "What should I do?" ”

Cao Liang pondered for a moment and said: "If Dingjun Mountain is lost, then the situation in Hanzhong will be reversed in an instant, our army's current battle line is too long, from Xingshi to Yangping Pass, stretching for hundreds of miles, and most of the army is involved in the siege of the city, and it is easy to be attacked by the Shu army. ”

The defense line of Dingjun Mountain is very involved, once Dingjun Mountain is lost, there will be major omissions in the defense system of the Wei army in Hanzhong, not only Yangping Pass is in vain, but more importantly, now the Wei army stretches for hundreds of miles, from Xingshi to Yangping Pass, the troops are extremely scattered, and it is very easy for the Shu army to break through.

When fighting in the siege of the city, the most taboo is that there are suddenly enemy reinforcements behind the killing, and the siege must be blocked, which is the minimum military common sense, otherwise the enemy army should be combined with the outside, and the besieging army will not be able to resist at all, and defeat is inevitable.

Xiahou Ba has been in war for a long time, how can he not know the disastrous consequences of the loss of Dingjun Mountain, just like Zhuge Liang sent troops to Longyou for the first time and won the five counties in one fell swoop, but it was because of the loss of Jieting that he could not stop the reinforcements of the Wei army, which led to the crushing defeat of the Shu army.

Now the Wei army is facing the same dilemma, after the loss of Dingjun Mountain, the reinforcements of the Shu army can pass through the road of Dingjun Mountain, and enter the Hanzhong Plain in a steady stream.

What's worse is that the Yangping Pass guarded by Xiahouba has lost the meaning of guarding because it can't prevent the Shu army from entering the Hanzhong Plain, and is in an embarrassing situation.

"Then whether we go to Yangping Pass or stay is a question, it seems that we have to inform the general quickly, and he will decide."

Cao Liang shook his head lightly and said: "It will take at least two or three days to inform the general to come and go, if the general hesitates again, I am afraid that it will have to be delayed for a few more days, and now the situation in Hanzhong is changing day by day, and if it is delayed for one more day, there will be great variables, so it is very inappropriate to inform the general." ”

Xiahou Ba said suspiciously: "Then according to Cao Changshi's opinion, what should we do?" ”

Cao Liang said decisively: "Immediately evacuate Yangping Pass and move closer to the Hanzhong army, now the situation is difficult, our army must shrink its forces to avoid being broken by the Shu army." ”

"Give up Yangping Pass?" Xiahou Ba said in surprise, "Without the order of Shangfeng, we will easily give up such an important Guancheng, if the imperial court investigates it, I am afraid you and I will not be able to afford it, right?" ”

Cao Liang said categorically: "The general will not be affected by the life of the monarch outside, the situation is difficult now, and changes will occur later, only by making a decision at the right time, we may have a glimmer of life!" ”

Although Cao Liang said so resolutely, Xiahouba was still hesitating, after all, it was such a closed city, was it too hasty to say that he would give up? If the court investigates it in the future, the responsibility is too great.

"Do you want to send someone to Dingjun Mountain to investigate, if Dingjun Mountain is really lost, it's not too late for us to act?" Xiahou Ba is still thinking about a little luck, after all, all of this comes from Cao Liang's inference, if Cao Liang's judgment is wrong, then he will really die a hundred deaths.

Cao Liang looked at him, but didn't speak again, but the meaning was already obvious, going to Dingjun Mountain to investigate and inform Cao Shuang was actually a role, and it took time to do it, and now the military situation is urgent, and the most unaffordable thing is time, if the final battle situation is out of control because of some hesitation and hesitation, it is also beyond regret.

At this time, Yanghu, who was on the side, suddenly said: "Actually, it is very simple to judge whether Dingjun Mountain is lost, just look at the movements of Fei Yi's army outside the Guan, isn't it clear?" ”

Xiahou Ba suddenly realized, isn't it, if the Dingjun Mountain side is not lost, Fei Yi's army will inevitably still stay outside Yangping Pass, and it is even possible to re-launch the attack, if Jiang Wei has opened the road to Dingjun Mountain, then Fei Yi will inevitably withdraw from Yangping Pass and enter Hanzhong by Dingjun Mountain.

If all the armies of Shu are withdrawn, they really have no point in guarding Yangping Pass anymore.

"The virtuous son-in-law is really a good idea." Xiahou Ba sincerely praised Yanghu, and at the same time sent scouts out of the city to investigate the movements of the Shu army.

The scout quickly went and returned, and said, "General Qiyu, the Shu army camp is empty. ”

Xiahou Ba was shocked and hurriedly went out of the city with Cao Liang Yanghu to check.

From a distance, the Shu army camp does not seem to have changed, the camp is still the same, the flag is flying high, but after they entered the camp, they found that all the camp tents were empty, obviously the Shu army had quietly withdrawn last night, leaving only an empty camp to confuse the Wei army, if Xiahou Ba did not send someone out of the city to investigate, I am afraid that it will still be kept in the dark.

"What a trick!" Xiahou Ba slammed his fist on the doorpost of the camp gate, angry but helpless.

If you knew the news of the withdrawal of the Shu army in advance, maybe you could attack and create a little trouble for the Shu army, but now that the camp is empty, Xiahouba is already powerless.
