In the Wei army's formation, Wen Shun and Deng Ai were turned upside down in an instant, and it was a mess. Cao Pi was furious and wanted to attack Tang Village, but Xun You rushed to persuade him.

"Your Highness, the actions of the other army are flexible and changeable, and there must be high-ranking people in charge. At present, the spirit of our army has been dulled, and we can no longer attack in a hurry, it is advisable to withdraw the army first, and then move forward after the whole army is completed! ”

When Cao Pi heard this, he immediately suppressed his anger, glared at Wen Shun and Deng Ai in front of **Dazhai with great resentment, gritted his teeth, and ordered the withdrawal of the army. As soon as Cao Pi's order fell, the Wei army slowly withdrew. Xu Chu pressed behind the formation, his strange eyes were murderous, and he stared fiercely at the people and horses in the ** village. Several Tang generals wanted to rush to kill, but Wen Shun put his gun horizontally, but shouted.

"After Xu Zhongkang is broken in the Wei army's formation, you can't chase and kill!!"

Wen Shun was not carried away by the momentary victory, Xu Chuhu was monstrous, rashly advancing, and it was rare to get good. When the generals heard this, they also suppressed their killing intent. When the Wei army withdrew, Wen Shun quickly taught the armies to prepare, and at the same time taught people to closely guard the camp and prepare for the night attack of the other army. After the three armies were full that night, Wen Shun discussed with the generals and Xu Shu in the tent.

Wang Shuang's face was slightly pale, although Cao Zhang's sword shattered his armor, but the two of them fought each other earlier, the power of the giant sword had gone to seven or eight, and the armor had lost another point, and Wang Shuang's body was hard to bear a little strength. Rao is like this, Wang Shuang also suffered a lot of trauma, fortunately his bones are strong and not broken, and after applying the golden medicine, the injury is much better. Wang Shuang gritted his teeth and said with hatred.

"If it weren't for Xu Zhongkang's sudden action today, I would have cut down that yellow-bearded young general a long time ago! ! How can you be so humiliated!! ”

When Deng Ai heard this, his expression sank, and he said to Wen Shun.

"I heard Xu Zhongkang call that the yellow bearded boy the third prince, could it be that person is the third son of the Cao family, Cao Ziwenye, who is known as the Demon King of the Mixed World?"

"That yellow-bearded young general has good martial arts, exquisite swordsmanship, and natural divine power, it is likely that this person is this person. I heard that this Cao Ziwen once fought with the generals of Eastern Wu, and he was extremely brave and shocked the heroes of Eastern Wu. Seeing it today, it is really extraordinary. If you encounter such a person in the future, you should be careful. ”

Wen Shun bowed slightly, although Wang Shuang almost made Cao Zhang by fraud today, but if it weren't for that, the two were head-to-head at that time, Cao Zhang had the upper hand, and within dozens of combinations, Wang Shuang would definitely be defeated. When Wang Shuang heard this, he was very angry and was about to open his mouth. Deng Ai glared at him fiercely. Wang Shuang's face tightened, knowing that his defeat today almost caused the destruction of his own army, his eyes showed a little guilt, so he kept silent.

At this time, there was a sudden report from the detail, saying that the Wei army had come with 30,000 soldiers and horses, led by Cao Pi, the son of the Great Wei Dynasty, Xu Chu and Cao Zhang were the generals under the account, and Xun You was the military division in the army. When Wen Shun heard this, he didn't feel that his brows tightened, this Xu Zhongkang was already extremely tricky, and in the Wei army's array, there was also a talented and talented Xun Yu who gave advice, but I was afraid that the next battle would be difficult to do. Xu Shu listened to the report and sighed.

"Today, when I saw that his army wanted to storm and suddenly withdrew, I knew that there would be a superior man in his army. It turned out to be this Xun Gongda. This person has the wisdom of the heavens and the earth, and his ability will never be damaged by the 'ghost talent' Guo Jia and the poisonous 'Jia Xu' of the Wei State. At the same time, the other army has Xu Zhongkang here, so it seems that it is undoubtedly difficult for us to seize Wucheng. ”

As soon as Xu Shu's words fell, everyone's faces changed and they frowned. Deng Ai's expression was solemn, and his eyes were as sharp as a blade, narrowed and then released, and said in a condensed voice.

"There is something I don't understand, Cao Wei peeped at Xichuan, and did not hesitate to break the covenant and compete with my Xitang, but why did he only send 30,000 soldiers? Cao Cao's troops were stationed in Jiangling, with hundreds of thousands of troops, and if he transferred heavy troops, he drove in. With the current strength of Shu Han in the Western Tang Dynasty, how can I resist? Could it be that Cao Pi only cited the first army, and there were reinforcements from the Wei army later!? ”

Deng Ai said that he was worried in his heart, and when Wen Shun heard it, he immediately widened his eyes, but soon muttered and looked at Xu Shu. Xu Shu bowed slightly, with a slight smile on his face, as if he was extremely pleased with Wen Shun's determination, and then replied.

"Don't worry about it. In my opinion, Cao Cao's invasion of Xichuan this time will only transfer these 30,000 soldiers, and he will never transfer troops and horses again in case of emergency. ”

"Why did Gong Xu say this?"

Deng Ai's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly asked. Xu Shu was not in a hurry, and said slowly.

"First, Cao Cao has been preparing for the expedition to Eastern Wu for a long time, and he is determined to win Eastern Wu, and he is unwilling to give up halfway, which has allowed Eastern Wu to breathe. Although Eastern Wu was defeated by Cao Cao before, it still had 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses in the country, and the Yangtze River was available, and its soldiers were good at water warfare. If a heavy army is allocated to Xichuan, it will definitely affect the great cause of defeating Wu. Compared with Eastern Wu, to take Xichuan, the Wei army has to compete with our Western Tang and Shu Han. With Cao Cao's male temperament, he will first focus on the great cause of Wu. Second, if Cao Wei allocates heavy troops, both the Western Tang Dynasty and the Shu Han will increase their security, which will make it difficult to start the war.

It was like two hungry wolves fighting to feed on it, and suddenly a wolf howl was heard in the distance, and another hungry wolf was about to fight. The two hungry wolves in the previous fight thought that they still had the strength to resist, and although they were vigilant, they would not fight to the death. And at this time, it is not a hungry wolf, but a tiger. Both hungry wolves are afraid of becoming prey for tigers, so what should they do? ”

As soon as Xu Shu said this, Deng Ai was smart, and suddenly understood the truth, and bowed his head heavily, and most of the worries on his face had gone. Of course, Xu Shu has a third reason, but he didn't say it directly. I am afraid that Cao Cao saw that Wen Shun was attacking the northwest of Xichuan to prepare for the invasion of his army. Cao Cao expected that Xiao'er was incompetent, so he did not send a large number of soldiers, thinking that the 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Cao Pi, as well as Xu Chu and Xun You, were enough to defeat Wen Shun.

Then he taught Cao Pi to take the northwest of Xichuan first, as a basis, and then took advantage of the defeat of Wenhan and the Shu soldiers in Chengdu before taking advantage of the weakness. Xu Shu is so intelligent, you can see it at a glance. At this time, Wen Shun suddenly shook his head and smiled, and said to Xu Shu.

"I'm afraid there is still a reason, but Xu Gong didn't say it directly. Cao Cao saw that we wanted to seize Jianping as a precaution against a sneak attack by the Wei army. And Cao Cao didn't want to wait for us to stabilize his position, so he quickly transferred troops and horses, but he deceived me into being young and incompetent, taught his son Cao Pi to defeat our army quickly, and then deceived Jianping as a basis to map Xichuan. ”

As soon as Wen Shun's words fell, Deng Ai and Wang Shuang were angry. Xu Shu couldn't help but show a burst of surprise when he saw Wen Shun being so smart. Wen Shun's expression sank, but he was not angry, but asked Xu Shu calmly.

"His army is large, and there are Xu Zhongkang and Xun Gongda in charge, according to Xu Gong's opinion. What should I do? ”

"Since the other army has a contempt for us, why doesn't Your Highness take the plan and retreat to Yong'an first, so that the other army thinks that we are cowardly and arrogant. In this way, the other army will definitely show its flaws. This is to retreat into the ear. We waited for the city to wait for the opportune moment, and at the same time sent someone to inform the lord and teach him to prepare early. ”

Xu Shu's eyes shone brightly, Wen Shun heard this, and understood the truth, so he wanted to respond. At this time, Deng Ai spoke and asked.

"But if our army withdraws, and the other army is in full swing, what can I do?"

"You don't have to worry about it. If our army withdraws, if the Wei soldiers march, they will definitely protect their rear roads first and seize Wucheng. At the same time, the two armies are fighting, but our army is waiting for work in Yong'an, ready to attack, so what is the thief afraid of? ”

Xu Shu's eyes became brighter in an instant. Deng Ai realized that Xu Shu took retreat as a way to advance. So after everyone agreed, Wen Shun quickly ordered the three armies, prepare their equipment, and wait for the fifth watch to immediately leave the village.

At the same time, inside the Wei army Dazhai. Cao Pi's face was calm, and the civil and military forces on both sides of the tent sat in turn. Cao Pixiao's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly.

"The Tang thief is treacherous, although he can keep it for a while today, but when our army attacks in full force the next day, he will be able to break it. Pass on my order, the three armies should rest as soon as possible, recuperate, and when the decisive battle is fought the next day, they must work hard to move forward and break the other army!! ”

As soon as Cao Pi's words fell, all the generals attended one after another to receive the order. When the crowd dispersed, Xun Yu sank and said to Cao Pi.

"Today, I saw the boy of the Wen family, extremely brave, and good at marching and fighting, not an idle person. Moreover, according to the report of the Shu people, the other army even had Xu Yuanzhi to give advice. In tomorrow's battle, His Highness still needs to be cautious, don't be in a hurry, so as to miss a big event. ”

When Cao Pi heard this, a trace of anger flashed, he and Wen Shun are both sons of the same country, and their parents are old enemies of each other. Cao Pi and Wen Shun have their own heart of comparison. Now that Xun Yu said this, he was suspected of growing up with the ambition of others to destroy his prestige. Cao Pi naturally didn't like it when he heard it, but he pretended to be lustful.

"Xun Gong doesn't have to worry too much. I'll be careful. ”

Hearing this, Xun You nodded, and then discussed with Cao Pi how to fight tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the sun rose and the sun shone brightly. Cao Pi led another 20,000 troops and went straight to the ** Dazhai, but found that there was no one in the Tang Soldier Village. Cao Pi's face tightened, and he hurried into the village, and saw that there were still many wheels, horses' hooves, and footsteps in the village, which were staggered horizontally and vertically, and he was expected to withdraw soon. Cao Pi snorted coldly, and was about to order the three armies to attack in a big way and go to cover the killing. At this time, Xun Yu said to Cao Pi.

"Although the other army withdraws, we must not take it lightly, if there is an ambush, what if it is?"

When Cao Pi heard this, he showed a disdainful smile and said coldly.

"Xun Gong is too worried. I think that the Wen family child must be cowardly, knowing that it is difficult to stop the general trend of our army, so he retreated. Now it is time to attack it quickly to break the other army. ”

"No! If he marches, His Highness should take Wucheng first to secure the back road. Otherwise, once our army is defeated, but the Shu soldiers intercept it in Wucheng, our army will be wiped out!! ”

Seeing that Cao Pi was anxious to march, Xun Yu was anxious and hurriedly persuaded. Although Cao Pi was anxious to defeat Wen Shun, he also knew the truth of Xun You's words, and thought that Wen Shun was already cold and timid, and he would be defeated sooner or later, so his expression sank and asked Xun You.

"What Xun Gong said is extremely true. But the Shu soldiers are shrinking into the city, how to get it!? ”

Xun You's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have a plan, and said in a low voice with Cao Pi.

"This matter has been planned. His Royal Highness first occupied this village, and then took back the soldiers and horses of Houzhai, so when Boji saw that we were waiting to retrieve the soldiers and horses of Houzhai, he would definitely relax. We waited and taught a fine general, and so on. Wucheng can be broken. ”

Xun You said a plan at the moment, and Cao Pi was overjoyed when he heard this, so he followed Xun You's strategy and assigned orders to each general. So, Cao Pi first took the ** Dazhai, and then transferred back the soldiers and horses guarding the Houzhai.

That night, Xiang Pet was in the city, and heard the scout report that ** had been withdrawn, and at noon, Cao Pi transferred the soldiers and horses of the Houzhai away, and seemed to want to march in a big way. When Xiang Pet heard this, he was determined, but he didn't dare to relax, and taught the scout to go and explore again. At the time of the third watch, Xiang Pet had not yet fallen asleep, waiting for news in the county office. Suddenly, I heard the sound of killing in the distance, and the sound of fighting was like the sky falling apart. Xiang was frightened, and suddenly the scout hurriedly reported, saying that the Dazhai taken by the Wei army today was attacked, and it was suspected that ** would come back to attack. Xiang Pet listened, the panic on his face suddenly dissipated, and he sneered in his heart.

"The people of Tang and Wei are all tigers and wolves, and it is best to kill both of them!"

When Xiang Pet heard about this report, he was in a good mood, so he rewarded the scout who came to report it, and then turned back to the back hall to rest. The next day, Xiang Pet sent scouts to investigate, and at noon, the scouts reported that the Wei army was in a mess, and there were many soldiers in the village who were crying bitterly, thinking that the battle last night must have been extremely fierce. Xiang Pet said that although the Wei army could still keep Dazhai, but in the battle last night, ** suddenly attacked, the Wei army was unprepared, relying on the strong strength of the army, defeating the other army, it must be a heavy casualty. And **Although it has the advantage of a surprise attack, it is also bound to lose a lot. Xiang Pet is overjoyed, and wishes that the two armies would fight each other and exhaust their troops, so that Wucheng would have no worries. For several days after that, the Wei army seemed to dare not act rashly because of the previous surprise attack, and they all stood still. There is no concern about pets.
