After dawn, the rain finally cleared.

Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun returned to Xicheng County with five hundred armor soldiers when the sun rose. In order to check the camp of the Hanzhong army outside the city, Zhuge Liang even made a special detour, slipped around in front of the Hanzhong army camp, and then entered the city through the west gate.

Escorted by Zhao Yun and five hundred armor soldiers, Zhuge Liang was not worried about being pursued by the Hanzhong army out of the camp.

Besides, after the lightning strike yesterday evening, the Hanzhong army was afraid that it would not have the courage to go out of the camp to fight at this time!

There are some ruins in Zhang Lu's camp, which may have been affected by the thunderstorm last night. The soldiers of the Hanzhong army sorted through the rubble, clearing the camp of water and mud, but more often than not, patrols and sentinels scattered around the camp.

Obviously, the Hanzhong army was preparing for a sneak attack.

Yes, even on a sunny day, the Hanzhong army was actually afraid of being attacked.

After seeing the camp and morale of the Hanzhong army, Zhuge Liang was a little worried, worried that Zhang Lu would quit and retreat.

In fact, Zhang Lu's counterattack on Xicheng County was carried out at this time, and it already tasted like chicken ribs: the food was tasteless, and it was a pity to abandon it.

After losing Zhang Xiu and the hundreds of zombies, Zhang Lu wanted to attack Xicheng County again, which was obviously thankless.

Although it is said that Zhang Lu still has 80,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and 20,000 or 30,000 people are available. However, Zhang Lu did not have high-end combat power available, and when the siege war was stalemate, once Guan, Zhang, and Zhao led the army to assault, who could stop them?

What's more, the morale of the Hanzhong army is now low, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the soldiers have no fighting spirit.

Of course, if Zhang Lu is blocked outside Xicheng County like this, he can be blocked for a while. After all, there are only 50,000 defenders in Xicheng County, including nearly 20,000 surrendered troops.

It's just that Zhang Lu and Yang Song are not Ha'er, so I'm afraid they won't be in a stalemate in Xicheng County.

Since this is the case, Zhang Lu will quit if he can't do it.

This is not in the interests of Zhuge Liang and Uncle Liu Huang, nor is it in line with the plan of his Zhuge military advisor.

"Therefore, Zhang Lu has to see that the hope of being able to capture Xicheng County will come true!"

"I don't know what to do, how is Pang Tong going?"

When he entered the city, Zhuge Liang was silently thinking in his heart.

……

After entering the city, Zhao Yun and the five hundred armor soldiers were stunned.

In Xicheng County, near the Xicheng Gate, construction is actually underway, and it seems that a small inner city is being built. And at this time, this inner city is almost half completed, and all that remains is to raise the height of the inner city's walls.

Actually, this is not an inner city, but an urn city.

Seeing the urn city that was in a hurry, Zhuge Liang's worries when he entered the city no longer existed.

At this time, Liu Bei, Pang Tong and others also greeted them.

"Kong Ming has worked hard!" Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang's hand and thanked him.

At this time, Zhuge Liang, although he looked at the jade tree still facing the wind and moving unhindered, his face was pale, and he was full of sickness.

This is what it looks like to have suffered internal injuries.

Last night, he Zhuge Liang needed to endure the backlash of the heavenly machine, which should have been a thunder tribulation, because of the stone statue on Caomiao Mountain, the thunder tribulation was dispersed. However, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. Zhuge Liang was not only cut off from his eight-year-old life, but also accepted his internal injuries.

However, compared to the power of the Thunder Tribulation, this internal injury and loss of Shouyuan is actually nothing.

It's just that in a short period of time, Zhuge Liang can only look sick.

From Zhuge Liang's sick appearance, Liu Bei saw the danger of last night.

Therefore, now his words of thanks are really from the heart.

"Thank you for your concern, just a little ill, after repelling Zhang Lu, the minister can recover after a period of rest."

Zhuge Liang thanked.

exchanged a few words of greetings, and everyone gathered into the palace.

……

Outside Xicheng County, Hanzhong Army camp.

In the tent, Zhang Lu and Yang Song were discussing whether to retire from the army.

The battle against Xicheng County, as it is now, has become a chicken rib. Of course, if the stalemate continues, it may be possible to find a flaw, and it is not necessary to conquer Xicheng County in one fell swoop. However, Zhang Lu did not want to continue the stalemate in Xicheng County.

Do you really think that more than 100,000 people eat horses and don't need to consume a huge amount of grain and grass every day?

From Nanzheng to Xicheng County, the 800-mile mountain road, 100,000 stones of grain and grass were transported to the front line, and it would be good to have half of them left. Even if the autumn harvest is over, his Zhang Lu's grain and grass are not infinite, how can he withstand such a long-term consumption?

Moreover, his Zhang Lu's mortal enemy is Xichuan Liu Zhang.

Once he, Zhang Lu, was dragged in Xicheng County, how could Xichuan Liu Zhang sit idly by?

When the time comes, he will be greeted by Zhang Lu, but he will suffer from the enemy on his back!

Of course, the most important thing is that there is no Condensation Realm martial artist by his side, Zhang Lu is always worried about being attacked by Guan Yu and others.

When Zhang Xiu and his zombies were there, Zhang Lu naturally didn't frighten Guan Yu's sneak attack.

But now, Zhang Xiu and the other zombies are destroyed, who can protect his Zhang Lu's safety?

Therefore, Zhang Lu did not want to continue to consume in Xicheng County.

Zhang Lu's idea is naturally Yang Song's idea.

When Zhang Xiu was killed, Yang Song was already frightened, and he had long been eager to retreat back to Nanzheng.

The two monarchs and ministers were discussing how to withdraw their troops, and a personal soldier came in and reported: "Your lord, military advisor, General Yang Bai is asking to see you outside the tent!" ”

Zhang Lu and Yang Song looked at each other.

Yang Bai's house, didn't he already surrender Liu Bei, why did he come over to ask for a meeting?

"Do they want to do it anyway?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Lu's heart was hot.

Even, Zhang Lu subconsciously forgave Yang Bai for surrendering.

Glancing at Yang Song, the two of them thought of this almost at the same time.

"Pass Yang Bai in!" Zhang Lu bowed his head and wanted to give an order in person.

……

"My lord, the last will be guilty!"

As soon as Yang Bai entered the tent, he suddenly knelt on the ground and cried.

Zhang Lu ignored Yang Bai's crying, picked up a book on the handsome case, and smashed it directly on Yang Bai's head.

"You know you're guilty?" Zhang Lu said angrily.

"I entrusted Shangyong and other cities to your brothers, is this how your brothers repay me Zhang Lu?"

"Shangyong City is high and deep, even if there are 20,000 pigs, it can always hold on for three or five days, right?"

"But in the hands of your brothers, you have not been able to hold it even overnight, and in turn, you have surrendered to the enemy!"

Every time he thought of this, Zhang Lu couldn't help but be angry. 20,000 troops garrisoned the fortified city, not only was the city broken overnight, but the vast majority of the soldiers of the main general surrendered to the enemy; This is his courtier under Zhang Lu?!

smashed Yang Bai a few times in a row, Zhang Lu sat on the main seat and panted, Yang Song kicked Yang Bai a few times, and said hatefully: "Let's talk about it, come and ask for a meeting, but what's the matter?" ”

Finally, Zhang Lu and Yang Song haven't forgotten their business.
