After a while, Ma Chao finally made a breach and was about to chase it. Hearing a violent bang, Pang De held a knife and blocked Ma Chao's eyes, the lion-headed machete suddenly emitted a shocking red light, and a red angry lion appeared on the blade. Ma Chao saw it clearly, and even killed the lion running and splitting the sky marksmanship, the brocade silver lion tooth spear was like a colorful silver light around the Tao, and a white snake-tailed divine lion came out.

Between the lightning and flint, the knives and guns collided suddenly. When they collided, the eyes of the two seemed to see, the red angry lion opened its teeth and claws, the white snake-tailed lion opened its bloody mouth, and the two lions pounced on each other.

With a loud bang, the brocade silver lion tooth gun and the lion's head machete collided instantly, the two rushed forward, Ma Chao roared angrily, and a shot stabbed Pound's left shoulder, Pound's bare face was evil, and he struggled to cut a dazzling fire in Ma Chao's breastplate. Ma Chao led the horse and flew dozens of meters, and Pound's mount screamed and fell to the ground. Pound lost his position and rolled to the ground, at this time he was exhausted, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up, and several Northwest generals hurriedly rushed to protect Pound. Ma Chao just retreated into the formation, and was immediately surrounded by soldiers and horses from the northwest.

Zhang Ren was fighting with Cheng Gongying on the other side, the two killed dozens of rounds, Zhang Renli was better than Cheng Gongying, but the two were not equal in martial arts, and Zhang Ren couldn't defeat Cheng Gongying quickly for a while. Although Zhang Ren fought with Cheng Gongying, he had always paid attention to Wen Han, and when he saw Wen Han fleeing from danger again and again, he was shocked and regretful.

Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering shouting of killing. It turned out that Zhao Yun led most of the northwest soldiers and horses back to the rescue, Zhang Ren saw this and fell into the ice abyss for a moment, and thought that Liu Bei had been killed by Zhao Yun, so he immediately did not dare to fight hard, so he ordered the soldiers to evacuate quickly. The rear army of Xichuan retreated sharply, and the situation suddenly became chaotic. Zhang Ren hurriedly killed Kai Gongying and called on the generals of all ministries to lead troops to retreat. Sergeant Nishikawa knew that the battle was extremely serious, and if he fled half a step slowly, he would definitely die, so he scrambled to flee in all directions. Ma Chao and Tai Shici saw that the situation was not good, so they couldn't care about chasing Wen Han anymore, so they hurriedly sacrificed their lives to escape with a bloody way.

But fortunately, the Northwest Army has been fighting for a long time, and all the soldiers are exhausted, and they fought bravely just now, but they insisted on it with a strong will, and the tense nerves at the moment were loosened, and a strong sense of fatigue suddenly surged. Wen Han also knew that the soldiers were tired, and he also understood the reason why the poor Kou Mo was chasing, so he did not order to cover up the Xichuan army, and let the Xichuan soldiers and horses flee.

At this point, the battle on Dingjun Mountain was finally lonely. Although the Northwest Army won a great victory, it paid a great price, losing the army with heavy food and grass, no matter how many people and brave and elite, it was difficult to continue the war for a long time.

Wen Han reorganized his troops and horses, ordered the army to retreat to an open valley, and set up a camp to rest for the time being. Zhao Yun hurriedly came to see Wen Han, Wen Han saw Zhao Yun coming, his face was overjoyed, but he suddenly saw Zhao Yun dismount and kneel.

Seeing this, Wen Han couldn't help frowning, and secretly felt in his heart.

"Is it difficult to give this Liu Daer another !? to escape"

As soon as Wen Han had this thought, he heard Zhao Yun tell him about the past one by one. When Wen Han heard this, Liu Bei actually rode his horse and stepped over a 10,000-zhang moat with a width of more than 200 meters, and he was shocked. If he didn't know Zhao Yun's virtue and knew that he was an honest person, he would have thought that Zhao Yun was careless and derelict in his duties, and deliberately used this ridiculous excuse to deceive him.

Wen Handao's eyes glowed with a cold light, but he finally suppressed the anger in his heart and sighed in a condensed voice.

"The life of the big-eared thief should not be extinguished, and God blesses it, but God does not want to kill him. That's it, that's it!! ”

Li You was afraid that Wen Han would ignore the current situation and insist on chasing and killing Liu Bei, so he hurriedly gave up his hand to persuade him.

"My lord, at present, the rations of our army can only last for three days, and the soldiers are tired from fighting for a long time, so we must not take the war lightly. According to the best opinion, it should be returned to Anhan as soon as possible, and the counties of Dongchuan should be urgently allocated food as supplies. Moreover, it takes half a month to mobilize grain and grass. The Lord just used this half month as a buffer to give the soldiers rest, recuperate, and then plot the great cause of Shudi. ”

As soon as Li You's voice fell, Cheng Gongying on the side also gave up.

"However, Dongchuan has been fighting again and again in recent years, and the grain stocks in various counties and counties are about to run out, and the grain and grass that can be deployed can sustain our army for half a month at most. In addition, according to Zhong Xuan's report, there is not much grain left in Yongzhou and Liangzhou. The lord should think of a complete strategy within this half a month to ensure that the war in Shu is foolproof. If you can break through the Jiameng Pass, you can do great things.

Xichuan is a place where money and grain are abundant, and our army can fight and feed the war, first use the grain of Dongchuan, Yong, and Liang, and slowly maintain it, and wait for the cities and counties of Xichuan to break through and seize its grain and grass, so that you can not worry about the lack of grain and grass. But if it is not possible to kill the Jiameng Pass within half a month, the grain and grass will be exhausted. Within a year, the Xichuan war will be difficult to repeat!

"But fortunately, after a series of fierce battles with the Xichuan army, our army suffered a great loss of troops, and at the same time captured Huang Zhong, a peerless general, and killed Yan Yan, the general of Xichuan. The strength of the other army was greatly damaged, and our army was overturned and attacked, how could it be unreasonable?

I also hope that the lord will follow the words of Li Saijiu, focus on the overall situation, and withdraw the army for the time being. ”

Cheng Gongying and Li You sang and harmonized, analyzed the reason and the situation, and skillfully persuaded Wen Han to withdraw his troops. Wen Han naturally understood the truth, and said with a bright smile.

"What you say is very true. should be followed. ”

Wen Han made a decision, so he ordered all troops to rest for a day and withdraw their troops in the coming day. The soldiers in the northwest heard that the war had stopped, and their tense nerves were finally relaxed, and they were all overjoyed.

The next day, the Northwest Army finished resting. Wen Han led most of the rear army to retreat to Anhan first, while Zhao Yun led a small number of soldiers and horses to stay behind to prevent Zhang Ren from attacking.

At the same time, in the Jiameng Pass. Zhang Ren learned from Tai Shi Ci that yesterday Liu Bei was able to successfully kill Wen Han, regardless of the danger, and sent Tai Shi Ci to help in the battle. Zhang Ren was full of surprise when he heard this, and sighed at Liu Bei's benevolence, and at the same time, he didn't feel an extremely bitter taste in his heart, as if he felt extremely guilty for failing to kill Wen Han.

Liu Bei's life and death are uncertain, and generals such as Huaxiong and Tai Shici are all extremely impatient. Wen Ping and Chen Shi had already led the army to explore in the area of Dingjun Mountain. In Jiameng Pass, it seems that because of Liu Bei's accident, it was overshadowed. Fa Zheng and Meng Da looked at each other silently, and both sighed regretfully and frustratedly.

Suddenly, a soldier came to report that Liu Bei had escaped alive and had been found by Wenpin and Chen-style people. Zhang Ren was overjoyed when he heard this, and the soldiers in Xichuan were also overjoyed. Zhang Ren hurriedly rushed out of the war building and led a group of Xichuan to wait at the gate.

When it was young, a gust of wind and dust rolled up outside the gate, and a team of people rushed over. Zhang Ren looked anxiously at the eyes, and gradually saw Liu Bei's figure, and immediately patted his horse to look at Liu Bei. The soldiers of Xichuan who followed closely behind him also chased after him.

Liu Bei was on his way, and when he saw Zhang Ren riding a horse, he hurriedly stopped his horse. Zhang Ren rushed close on his horse, dismounted and bowed to Liu Bei, and bowed with great guilt.

"Zhang Ren is incompetent!! There is a high hope of the emperor!! ”

Zhang Ren's move immediately surprised everyone on the field. Zhang Ren has always been extremely disgusted with Liu Bei, and he has never had a good face, but now he is willing to bow his arrogant head and apologize to Liu Bei and confess his guilt, which is really unexpected.

When Liu Bei saw Zhang Ren kneeling, he was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that his act of sacrificing his life yesterday must have won Zhang Ren's respect. Liu Bei hurriedly dismounted, helped Zhang Ren up, and said softly to Zhang Rang.

"Governor Zhang doesn't have to blame himself. The soldiers under Wen Bufan's command are brave and fierce, and it is undoubtedly difficult to reach the sky if they want to kill him. However, fortunately, his army lost all the food and grass, and it was difficult to continue the war, so he must have withdrawn at this time. Nowadays, our army has lost troops and lost its strength, so we should prepare as soon as possible, and prepare for a comeback with a deep ditch and soil barriers! ”

What Liu Bei said is exactly what Zhang Ren wants. Zhang Ren replied.

"What Uncle Huang said is extremely true. At present, the crisis of Jiamengguan has not been eliminated, and it is necessary to rely on Uncle Huang a lot. In the past, Zhang had something to offend, and I hope that Uncle Huang has a lot, so don't mind. ”

"Hey! That's a mistake! For my brother Ji Yu, you sacrificed your life and forgot to die to defend this place and protect the peace of Yizhou. In Shudi, who doesn't praise Guyi! It is a blessing to be able to work with Guyi. But I hope that you and I can work together to repel the thief army of Wen Bufan, so as to protect the state without losing an inch of land!! ”

If it was in the past, Zhang Ren would have disdained Liu Bei's righteous words. But after yesterday's battle, Zhang Ren's impression of Liu Bei has changed greatly, and he really thinks that what Liu Bei said is from the bottom of his heart.

I saw that Zhang Ren was very moved when he heard this, and he hurriedly bowed to Liu Bei.

"Uncle Huang's benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled, and it is a blessing for the people of Shu to be able to get the help of Uncle Huangdi!"

Liu Bei laughed, then took Zhang Ren's hand and walked side by side intimately. Fa Zheng secretly saw that Zhang Ren had admired Liu Bei, and he was overjoyed, and at the same time secretly sighed that Liu Bei was skillful, decisive and ruthless, and won Zhang Ren's respect for his feat of sacrificing his life for righteousness.

At this point, Zhang Ren no longer had any difficulties with Liu Bei, and he respected him very much. Unconsciously, Liu Bei has won the hearts of all the Xichuan soldiers in Jiameng Pass.

The war in Shu has come to an end for the time being. And just a month ago, the imperial capital of Luoyang. Cao Cao received a letter from Wen Han and learned that Liu Bei had left Xichuan. At that time, Cao Cao happened to discuss with his ministers whether to take advantage of Wenhan's army to conquer Shu and take advantage of the situation to raise troops to attack the northwest.

Cao Cao's pair of details like swallowing the sky, shimmering, read out the Wenhan documents, and said with laughter with the ministers.

"Do you have any insight into the current situation? Should Lone take advantage of Wen Bufan to send troops to Shu and raise troops to conquer the northwest, or take advantage of Liu Bei's departure to Xichuan and raise troops to conquer Jingzhou in the south? ”

As soon as Cao Cao's voice fell, Cheng Yu got up to attend and bowed his hand.

"In my opinion. Wen Bufan is the lord of the world, sitting in the northwest, the world is big, only his power is closest to the power of the King of Wei. Although Liu Xuande was assisted by Zhuge Kongming, a prodigy, his momentum was able to rise, but his foundation was not stable. It is not like Wen Bufan has been in the northwest for many years, and its power is deep-rooted, and it has won the hearts and minds of the people. Compared with Wen Bufan, Liu Xuande is just a shining light. The king of Wei should first get rid of Wen Bufan, attack the northwest, stabilize the situation, gather a million male army, and wave the army south!! ”

As soon as Cheng Yu's admonition fell, Xun Yu got up to attend and retorted.
