The army of Mianzhu Pass was divided into two routes, Wang Can led the troops south, and went straight to Chengdu; Yan Yan led his troops north and quickly rushed to Bachuan, preparing to solve Lingbao.

Liu Yan sent a three-way army to attack Hanzhong, and after the remaining two-way army was wiped out, only Ling Bao led the troops to resist.

During the battle with Deng Zheng, Ling Bao relied on the supplies of nearby cities, fought steadily and steadily, and constantly retreated. The army retreated, and it was also Ling Bao who received Zhao Wei's order to prepare to return to Chengdu. Ling Bud wanted to leave, but the army led by Deng Zheng was like a plaster sticking to Ling Bud, so that Ling Bud couldn't get out.

Ling Bao led the army to settle down in Bachuan, relying on the supplies and grain and grass support of Bachuan County, and confronted Deng Zheng

After Deng Zheng killed Pang Xi, he did not take other means, but just took steps to persecute Ling Bao.

There was no big war between the two sides, but there was a raging undercurrent on the ground.

Whether it is Deng Zheng or Ling Bao, they are all waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to completely eliminate the other party. Both sides were cautious and cautious, and every step was extremely cautious, leaving no mistakes, and because of this, the battle between Deng Zheng and Ling Bao will continue to confront each other to this day.

Outside Bachuan City, Yizhou Army Camp.

Because Deng Zheng was pressing forward step by step, Ling Bao did not retreat into the city, afraid of being surrounded by Deng Zheng.

At the same time, the county order of Bachuan County did not allow Ling Bao to lead the army into the city, because once Ling Bud led the army into Bachuan City, it would link the fate of Bachuan County and Ling Bao together, so that Bachuan County Order could not make his own decisions. As long as Ling Bud does not enter the city, the Bachuan County Commander can surrender to Wang Can at any time and become a person under Wang Can's command.

Inside the big tent, Ling Bao's expression was solemn, and his face full of wind and frost revealed a worried look.

Below, Deng Xian sat cross-legged, also looking worried, sighing, shrugging his head, without any energy.

Due to the non-cooperation of the Bachuan County Order, even if Ling Bao is backed by Ba Chuan, the grain and grass supplied by Ba Chuan is no longer enough to support Ling Bao's more than 10,000 mouths. Such a situation makes Ling Bao empty of strategy, but there is no platform to display his talents.

Although Ling Bao and Deng Zheng confronted each other and were able to face Deng Zheng undefeated, he had no food and grass support, no weapons and equipment, and he was also a clever woman who could not cook without rice, and he could not rush to kill with his bare hands with his soldiers.

"Deng Xian, how many days will there be enough food in the army?"

Ling Bud thought for a long time, opened her slightly squinted eyes, and asked.

Deng Xian said: "General, there are only four days of food left in the camp, and after four days the food is gone, the army may mutiny. Eh, this is also Bachuan County's Lingyang Fengyin's disobedience, and he actually deducted our food. In addition, the old thief Deng calculated the time accurately, pinched us for lack of food and grass, and avoided without fighting, but followed closely behind, making it difficult for us to get rid of the Hanzhong army. ”

Deng Xian looked indignant, and then said: "General, instead of passively suffering death, it is better to take the initiative to attack. Now the autumn night is thick, and the moonlight is very light at night, and the sky is dark, just wait until the night is thick. The general led a large army to attack and attack Deng Zheng, and maybe he could still achieve victory. ”

Ling Bao's eyes were cold, and he said, "Deng Xian, have you forgotten how Pang Xi died?" ”

"Huh?!"

After hearing this, Deng Xian let out a low snort, and a pale color quickly appeared on his face.

For Deng Xian, Pang Xi's death was indeed hard for Deng Xian to forget, because when he was ambushed by Deng Zheng, the situation was tragic, which made Deng Zheng palpitate. If Deng Xian hadn't chosen to break through with Ling Bao and barely escaped, the result would definitely be the same as Pang Xi, Gao Pei, and Yang Huai, who were beheaded by Deng Zheng and became Deng Zheng's military exploits.

Deng Xian has always been very jealous of Deng Zheng in his heart, but now that he was reminded by Ling Bao, a touch of fear immediately rose in his heart.

Old and not dead is a thief, Deng Zheng is old and cunning, the camp must be defended, and it will not be easily attacked.

After being silent for a while, Deng Xian said: "General, the army is short of food, but we can't take the initiative to attack, and in a few days we will have to fight on an empty stomach, does the general already have a way to deal with ......it?" Speaking of this, Deng Xian's eyes stared at Ling Bao and asked, "General, what are you going to do?" ”

Ling Bao sighed and said, "I can only forcibly withdraw the troops, and the current situation is that I have to retreat." Even if he was caught up by Deng Zheng and lost part of the army, he had to retreat. ”

"Why?"

Deng Xian was a little puzzled, all along, Ling Bao wanted to defeat Deng Zheng, and led the army to drive straight into attack Nanzheng.

Now the two packs suddenly gave up the idea of defeating Deng Zheng, which made Deng Xian a little stunned.

However, Deng Xian's heart was more joyful, as long as Ling Bao led the army to retreat, even if he was chased and beaten by Deng Zheng, killing and wounding many soldiers, as long as he could get rid of Deng Zheng and return to Chengdu.

Ling Bao sighed, stretched out his hands helplessly, and said, "Deng Xian, it is really helpless for me to lead the army to retreat. Now the situation is critical, one is that there is not enough food, grass and weapons to support, and the other is that Wang Can led the army to approach Chengdu, Zhao Wei couldn't hold on, so I led the troops back and garrisoned Chengdu. Eh, it's not good for us right now. ”

Deng Xian's eyes rolled and said, "If this is the case, Deng Zheng will never let us lead the troops to retreat." ”

Ling Bao nodded and said, "That's why I said that even if you lose part of the army, you have to retreat." ”

At this point, both of them were silent.

Outside the big tent, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, and I saw the curtain of the camp tent rolled up, and a scribe in Tsing Yi walked in, this person was Pang Xi's staff and strategist. After Pang Xi's death, this Tsing Yi scribe followed Ling Bao to do things, and now he has become Ling Bao's right-hand man and confidant.

The Tsing Yi scribe walked in, looked respectful, and arched his hand: "General, I just got the news from the scout that Yan Yan led the army north, and it was only ten miles away from the direction of the camp. ”

"Hiss!" Ling Bao gasped violently and said, "Find out the news again!" ”

Yan Yan led the troops to attack, it is definitely not a good thing for Ling Bao, if it is not good, the more than 10,000 troops under Ling Bao will stay in Bachuan and will not be able to return to Chengdu.

"No!"

The Tsing Yi scribe clasped his fists and turned to leave.

Half an hour later, the scribe in Tsing Yi returned to the camp again, and said, "General, Yan Yan led the troops to set up camp five miles outside the camp and stayed. More importantly, the place where Yan Yan is stationed is very important, it is the only place we must pass through to withdraw to Chengdu, if the general leads the troops to retreat, it is bound to fight a hard battle with Yan Yan, only by defeating Yan Yan can there be a way to live. ”

Ling Bao waved his hand and sent the Tsing Yi scribe away.

Seeing this, Deng Xian said, "General, what should Yan Yan do if he blocks the way?" ”

Ling Bao's expression was solemn, and he said: "Yan Yan is no better than Deng Zheng, the old fox, Yan Yan is younger, and he has both civil and military skills, and his martial arts are extremely high, Yan Yan alone can easily kill the two of us." As long as Yan Yan led the troops stationed, we will not be able to return to Chengdu. Eh, if I knew this, I shouldn't have competed with Deng Zheng, now the back road is cut off by Yan Yan, and there is an army led by Deng Zheng in front of me, which can be said to be a jackal in front and a tiger and leopard in the back, which is a headache! ”

As soon as Ling Bao finished speaking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the camp tent.

A soldier ran in and shouted, "Report! ”

The tone was hurried, revealing a panic, and looking at the look on the soldier's face, he knew that something big had happened again. Seeing the soldier's hurried appearance, Ling Bao felt irritable in his heart, and couldn't help but scold: "Panic, what kind of system is it, what kind of thing do you encounter, explain it carefully?" ”

The soldier said, "General, Yan Yan came to the camp alone with an entourage, and is now waiting outside the camp. ”

"What? Yan Yan is here? ”

Ling Bao suddenly stood up from her seat, and her expression changed greatly.

"Huhu ......" Ling Bao took a few deep breaths, calmed down the impetuous mood in his heart, suddenly reached out and grabbed the war knife placed next to the desk, hung it on his waist, and said, "Deng Xian, go, follow me to see." As he spoke, Ling Bud took a step and walked out of the tent.

Deng Xian pressed the handle of the knife, and quickly followed Ling Bao out of the camp tent and walked outside the camp.

Ling Bao and Deng Xian came to the gate of the camp, and when they looked around, they saw Yan Yan wearing a black robe and a leather jacket, not wearing armor and a helmet.

Behind Yan Yan, Yan Zhi stood solemnly, holding the big ring knife that Yan Yan was carrying, and followed behind Yan Yan.

"Yan Yan, the thief who betrayed the master, what are you doing here?"

When Ling Bud came to the outside of the camp, he suddenly shouted.

With an angry look on his face, he pulled out the war knife at his waist with a sonorous sound and aimed it at Yan Yan. Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers were also holding spears and staring at Yan Yan deadly.

As long as Ling Bao said a word, the soldiers would rush up and kill Yan Yan.

Yan Yan smiled slightly and said, "General Ling, Yan is here for you today, could it be that General Yan asked Yan to speak here?" ”

"Please!"

Seeing that Yan Yan was not afraid at all, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he put the war knife in his hand into the sheath. He did not order Yan Yan to be killed, but waved his hand and welcomed Yan Yan into the camp.

Yan Yan laughed twice, waved his hand and said, "Please!" ”

The two entered the camp together, and Yan Yan strode with his head held high.

The surrounding soldiers saw Yan Yan talking and laughing, their faces did not change, and they all showed admiration.

There are really not many people like Yan Yan who dare to rush into the enemy camp alone, and Yan Yan, as the commander of the first army, went deep into the Yizhou military camp, and he was already in danger.

Of course, things need to be treated separately.

Different situations have different ways to deal with them. Yan Yan entered the Lingbao camp alone, and only after weighing and considering did he make up his mind.

Yan Yan once had an intersection with Ling Bao, and understood Ling Bao's personality, and Yan Yan was once a general of the Yizhou Army, with this relationship, Yan Yan dared to enter the tiger's den alone. If it were Wang Can, I am afraid that as soon as he entered the camp, he would be surrounded by soldiers who rushed up, not like Yan Yan, who could easily enter the camp.
