"The king is angry. His army was large and unstoppable. In the past few days, our army has been defeated in a row, our army has suffered heavy casualties, and its troops have suffered countless losses. Why don't you save the lives of these two people first, and let them make meritorious contributions. If there is a mistake again, the punishment for the two crimes will be combined!! ”

Meng Huo listened to what his brother said is also reasonable, Ah Huilan and Dong Chana both knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, and they all said that they would fight for Meng Shu's death to pay for his crimes. When Meng saw this, he forgave the two for the time being, and then asked Meng You again.

"The Northwest Army is strong, and it is not ordinary and scheming, and it is difficult for us to resist it. In your opinion, what should we do now? ”

Meng You pondered for a while when he heard this, and then said urgently.

"Although his army is strong, it has fought many battles in recent years, and it must be difficult to sustain the food in its army, and most of its sergeants will also be war-weary. Why should the king resist him? At that moment, it is advisable to collect troops and withdraw to Zitong City, and resist it with deep ditches and high bases, and within a few months, the food of the other army will run out, and the army's morale will be unstable, so it will naturally withdraw. At that time, the king will wave his army again to cover the killing, and he will definitely be able to capture and kill that extraordinary man!! ”

Meng Yu heard this, the green details instantly shot out two fine lights, and the head of the jaw promised, and at the moment, according to Meng You's plan, he ordered the troops to rest for a day, and wait for the third watch tomorrow night, and withdraw to Zitong.

Let's say that the Northwest Army has won another big victory, and the morale of the sergeants is sharp. That night, Li You came to find Wen Han and said to him.

"My lord, the Nanban has been repeatedly defeated, and he will not dare to fight our army head-on again. If Yuu is correct, the other army will withdraw soon. If it is allowed to withdraw to Zitong, it will defend the city and resist our army with deep ditch and earth barriers. The war is bound to last long, and the officers and men of our army have been fighting for a long time, and they all have the feeling of returning to their hometowns and being war-weary, and it is difficult to hold on to the food in the army for a long time. The lord should make preparations as soon as possible in case the other army withdraws. ”

Wen Han listened to this, his sword eyes narrowed slightly, and his chin replied.

"If it weren't for what Zhongwen said, I wouldn't have woken up. I don't know if Zhongwen has a plan to teach me? ”

Li You smiled indifferently, walked to the case, and pointed to a place on the map.

"Fortunately, with Ziqiao's map, we can see Xichuan at a glance. If I am correct, if Meng Huo wants to retreat, he will take the way from this valley. The lord can quickly send two elite soldiers to ambush in this valley, and when his army is outdated, he will first hit it with random arrows and stones, and then ambush the soldiers together, and Meng can be captured!! ”

Wen Han listened to the plan, and his sword eyes burst out with two rays of fine light, and he followed Li You's plan to summon Wei Yan and teach him to lead the troops to ambush.

The next day, the barbarians were resting in the village in preparation for the evacuation of the night. Meng You couldn't help frowning when he saw the Northwest Army, but there was no movement. At this moment, suddenly there was a whistle to report. Liu Bei sent an envoy to see him, Meng You's face changed, and he urgently reported to Meng You. After Meng heard this, he was also puzzled and asked Meng You.

"Then what does Liu Xuande mean by sending people here?"

Hearing this, Meng You hesitated for a while, and replied.

"Wen Bufan is the hero of the world, dominating the northwest, and in recent years, he has won the land of Dongchuan. In the Han world, except for Cao Cao, the king of Wei, this person should be the most powerful. In recent years, Wen Bufan wanted to win Xichuan again, and fought against Xichuan soldiers and horses in Jiameng Pass for nearly half a year, and the Xichuan army was finally difficult to resist, and its lord Liu Jiyu was killed by Zhao Zilong. Liu Xuande thus obtained the power of Xichuan, this person is also a hero, although he was displaced in his early years, he was repeatedly chased and killed, and later fled into Jingzhou, with the help of Zhuge Kongming, changed the decline of the past years, and defeated the Wei army repeatedly, and was highly valued by Liu Jingsheng. Later, Liu Jingsheng died, and Liu Xuande was ordered to assist his son in the affairs of Jingzhou. From this, it can be seen that Liu Xuande's city is very deep, and this person is the emperor of the Han family, he will be willing to be subordinate, and he will want to become one of the princes competing for hegemony in the world. The reason why he was willing to cede Zitong and Brazil two counties before was to make us resist the Northwest Army for him, and he took the opportunity to stabilize the situation in Xichuan, so as to wait for Zhuge Kongming to transfer troops and horses from Jingzhou, and then slowly plan to pacify the rebellion in Yizhou. In this way, he will have enough foundation to fight against the forces of the Northwest, Cao Wei, and Eastern Wu to fight for the world. In this way, today's Liu Xuande is a friend rather than an enemy, and the king might as well see what his envoy has to say, and then make a decision! ”

Meng Shu listened carefully to Meng You's analysis, and even bowed his head, he also felt so, so he ordered someone to summon Liu Bei's envoy in. When he was young, Huang Quan stepped into the account and finished the salute. Meng Shu smiled, and after some polite words, he went straight to the topic and opened his mouth to ask.

"I don't know what Huang Gong means by coming this time?"

Huang Quan's face froze, and he suddenly asked.

"The king will withdraw soon? If so, you will be destroyed! ”

Hearing this, Meng Shu's color changed, and he stood up suddenly, his green eyes widened, and then he suppressed his panic again, so he pretended to be calm and smiled.

"Haha. Huang Gong didn't know, now our army is in a good situation, and has won many victories, presumably Wen Bufan will retreat soon, why should I withdraw my army? ”

Huang Quan was expressionless, his eyes looked directly at Meng Shu, and he said in a condensed voice.

"The king doesn't have to hide it from me. Our lord has already set up scouts everywhere in Zitong, and if the war in Zitong is, my lord has already known about it. The king has been repeatedly defeated, the loss of troops and generals, and the frontal battle is definitely not the opponent of the Northwest Army, when it should be withdrawn to the city of Zitong, and the deep ditch is used to resist it. ”

When Meng heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he faintly wanted to attack. After all, if it is not of my race, its heart will be different. If Huang Quan reported this matter to Wen Han, it can be said that there will be endless troubles. Meng You saw a few murderous auras in his brother's eyes, and hurriedly attended.

"Huang Gong actually knew this, and we don't have to hide it anymore. But what does Huang Gongshi's words of destruction mean? ”

Huang Quan looked at Meng Shu silently, without fear of the killing intent he revealed, and said proudly.

"You don't know. In the past, in my Xichuan Wenwu, there was a person named Zhang Ziqiao. This person has the ability to never forget, and he painted the terrain of Xichuan in a picture and dedicated it to Wen Bufan. Wen Bufan knows the terrain of Xichuan thoroughly, and there are many wise people in this army, how can he not see that the king has the intention of withdrawing the army. If your army wants to withdraw to Zitong, the valley ten miles southeast is the place where it must pass. If he had set up an ambush earlier, your army would be unprepared, and he would only be afraid of more evil and less auspicious! ”

Meng Huo's face changed suddenly, his green eyes were about to bulge, and his face was full of horror. Meng You hurriedly threw a look at Meng Shu, Meng Shu comprehended, and immediately hurriedly ordered the left and right to prepare a banquet to entertain Huang Quan. Huang Quan made a move and said in a condensed voice.

"Wait! The king does not have to be polite. Wen Bufan did not respect the court, bullied the king, forcibly seized the situation of others, the ancestor died tragically at the hands of his general Zhao Zilong, and the people of Xichuan have a deep blood feud with them, and I can't wait to get rid of them quickly. Now our lord has made an alliance with the king, and the two families are at peace, so they should be united in hatred. The right to come this time, there is no dissent, and I hope that the king will not be suspicious. ”

After hearing this, Meng was impatient in his heart, and he didn't care about entanglement with Huang Quan, so he hurriedly asked.

"So it is. I don't know if Huang Gong has a plan to teach me? I will repay it with great gifts! ”

Huang Quan already had a plan in his heart, and he was teaching Meng to do so and so at the moment. Meng was overjoyed to hear the plan, and even claimed that it was wonderful, so he ordered the soldiers to take the gold silk and increase it to Huang Quan. Huang Quan knew that these were all the money obtained by Meng Shu from the captivity of the Han people, and he did not refuse, but accepted it. Meng Huo also wanted to keep Huang Quan in the army, so that he could ask questions left and right. Huang Quan came this time, and he was instructed by Liu Bei to help the Southern Barbarians delay the offensive of the Northwest Army, which was his promise.

At night, the barbarians suddenly withdrew from their villages and quickly walked in the direction of Zitong. There was already a sentry horse of the Northwest Army secretly searching, and immediately came to report to Wenhan. When Wen Han heard this, he smiled coldly, thinking that he would definitely be able to capture Meng Shu this time, so he was unprepared.

However, he said that Wei Yan had ordered the army to lead the army to ambush in the southeast valley, and compared to the time of the Mandate of Heaven, he still did not see the barbarian army coming, and he was in doubt. Suddenly, in the direction of the self-military village, there were bursts of shouts and killings. Wei Yanhu was stunned, thinking that the military village had been attacked, so he hurriedly ordered all the ambushes in the valley to rush to the rescue.

But when it came to the fourth watch, the soldiers in the northwest village started to make rice, and suddenly a cannon rang out outside the village. A barbarian cavalry of thousands of men rushed over. The soldiers of the Northwest were unexpected, and fled in a panic. The barbarian cavalry rushed into the northwest wall, rushed left and right, rampage, and set fire everywhere. Zhao Yun heard the sound of fighting in the village, and he didn't care about putting on his armor, grabbed the seven-star treasure knife and immediately rushed out of the village, and saw that there was a barbarian cavalry in the village that was setting fire to the village. Zhao Yun's sword suddenly shot out two rays of fine light, and the jade lion flew over in the night, Zhao Yunfei got on his horse, suddenly raised his sword, and killed a group of barbarian cavalry. When the hundreds of barbarian cavalry saw that Zhao Yun was coming, they were so frightened that they wanted to retreat, and at this time, a barbarian general saw that Zhao Yun was not armor-piercing, and shouted fiercely.

"Don't panic!! This Zhao Zilong is not armor-piercing, and now is a good time for me to kill him in one fell swoop! If you can kill this man, you will be rewarded by the king!! ”

The so-called people die for money, and birds die for food. As soon as the barbarian general's voice fell, the hundreds of barbarian cavalry, each of them burst into a crazy color in an instant, and rushed towards Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun's face was cold, without fear, he rushed into the crowd of people, slashed with a knife, and the seven-star treasure knife sharpened iron like clay, only to see Zhao Yun's hand, his clothes and armor were flat, and his blood was like a spring. The seven or eight barbarians who were blocking head-on were hacked to death by Zhao Yun in an instant, Zhao Yun rushed through the encirclement, and blood burst out all the way, forcing him to face the barbarian general who was drinking just now, and his hand raised his knife and cut it in two with his head and shoulders. Zhao Yun's white robe was stained with blood, and during the rush just now, the white robe was broken everywhere, extremely smooth, and his whole body exuded bursts of terrifying murderous aura. The barbarians saw where they could fight, and they fled in a panic. Zhao Yun then rushed up and fought everywhere in the village, killing nearly five or six barbarian generals and repelling several barbarian cavalry. After a while, the northwest soldiers and horses stabilized the chaos and rushed to fight. Seeing that the situation was not good, the barbarians retreated one after another.

Zhao Yun then commanded the soldiers to extinguish the fire, and when the fire gradually extinguished, Zhao Yun came to see Wen Han. Wen Han was surveying the battle situation outside the village with Li You, and when he saw Zhao Yun coming, Wen Han's face froze, and he asked Zhao Yun what happened. Zhao Yun reported them one by one. Li You listened for a while, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he was anxious to talk to Wen Han.

"Not good! If the barbarian army wants to come and attack, how can they send such soldiers and horses? Presumably, this is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and General Wei will see that our village is in chaos, so he will set aside the ambush troops and rush back to help. In an instant, the barbarian army can successfully retreat to Zitong City if they take the road again!! ”
