Chapter 893: Breaking the Deadlock

King Kaneshiro!

Yue Ji's body was shocked, and he was stunned, looking at Liu Bei in surprise, he didn't expect Liu Bei to say such a thing.

Zhuge Liang took advantage of the situation and said: "Liang has heard that General Yueji is brave and unparalleled, and he has great prestige in the Xiqiang tribes, and now the King of Jincheng sacrificed his life for the country, Xiqiang cannot be left without an owner for a day, except for General Yueji, who can stand in the way of this important task, this King of Jincheng, you must be Yueji." ”

Yue Ji reacted at this time, and the anger on his face disappeared little by little, and was replaced by ecstasy in the blink of an eye.

The Qiang people are not good at hiding their emotions, and Yueji's ecstasy is all written on his face.

The Qiang people do not have any legal system, whoever has a hard fist will respect whoever is the king, and Yue Ji chose to surrender and be loyal because his strength was not as good as Cheriji, and he naturally had the ambition to be the king of Qiang in his heart.

Now that Cheriji is dead, Yadan is also dead, among the Xiqiang tribes, who can be stronger than him, and there is Liu Bei, the Han Emperor, as the backstage, who will do it if he is not the king of Qiang.

After rolling his eyes a few times, Yue Ji immediately knelt down and said resolutely: "Yue Ji thank Your Majesty for your trust, I am willing to lead the remaining Qiang soldiers to follow Your Majesty to the death!" ”

"Okay, get up, get up!"

Liu Bei smiled with satisfaction, and called Yue Ji to serve wine, celebrating his inheritance of the throne of King Qiang, and comforting him.

Yue Ji also reciprocated the favor and repeatedly expressed his determination to fight to the death for Liu Bei.

The heavy atmosphere in the main hall was also slightly relieved.

Liu Bei took advantage of the situation to raise his glass and said proudly: "Although we have broken some men and horses in this battle, our main force is still there, and Tongguan is still in our hands. ”

The generals regained their fighting spirit, and immediately raised their glasses to respond to Liu Bei's encouragement.

At this time, Sima Yi said: "Your Majesty, our army has suffered a new defeat, the morale of the soldiers in Tongguan has been seriously frustrated, and the combat effectiveness must decline. ”

Liu Bei nodded slightly, thoughtful.

Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is absolutely impossible to draw troops and horses from other fronts, especially Puban Pass, in case that Su Zhe takes advantage of the situation to divide his troops and attack Puban Pass while he is weak, and attack my pass from the north road, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Sima Yi smiled: "Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's concern is not unreasonable, but Pubanguan is a strong city, even if we transfer half of the troops, there will be at least 15,000 soldiers and horses, Su Zhe wants to attack Pubanjin, at least 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses have to be transferred, he mobilized so many soldiers and horses, will we not be aware of it?" ”

Zhuge Liang's brows condensed slightly, and in the face of Sima Yi's rhetorical question, he couldn't refute it for a while.

Liu Bei said: "Zhong Da is reasonable, can you have the recent return on the transfer of Su thieves?" ”

"Your Majesty, I have been closely monitoring the Wei army, and so far, there is no sign of the Su thief moving north." Wu Banyu reports.

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Quickly send an order to Wu Yi, ordering him to immediately transfer half of the soldiers and horses to Tongguan!" ”

Liu Bei finally decided to transfer the troops of Puban Pass, and Zhuge Liang had no good reason to oppose it, so he had to keep silent.

Liu Bei then said: "Spread my will again, immediately allocate twice the details, closely monitor the Wei camp, and once the Su thief dares to draw troops north, he will report back immediately." ”

"No!"

……

Five days later, more than 200,000 Wei troops once again arrived at Tongguan City.

Once again, the camp was set up again, once again the camp was ten miles, and once again the grain and grass were transported by the two sides, and the two sides once again started a confrontation on the front line of Tongguan.

It was as if the Qiang people's participation in the war was just a small episode, and it had no impact on the entire battle situation at all.

The Wei army set up camp, so they began to cut down trees, build ladders, and build divine thunder cannons.

All kinds of signs show that Su Zhe intends to fight Liu Bei to the end, not to storm Tongguan, and vow not to give up.

A few days later, nearly 100 divine thunder cannons were first built, drove to the city of Tongguan, and began to bombard Tongguan.

One after another, stone bullets rose into the sky, and with the huge force of the sky and the earth, they bombarded towards the impregnable enemy city.

Liu Bei at the head of the city was also prepared, relying on the heavy shield of the battlements, guarding the head of the city, and did not retreat for half a step.

Under the remnant sun, Su Zhe stood in front of the formation, looking at Tongguan City from afar, which was bombarded to the dark, but his eyes looked to the north.

After crossing the Yellow River, it is the boundary of Hedong County, and a decisive battle is already surging in the undercurrent.

"Deng Shizai, you should be almost there......" Su Zhe muttered to himself, and the murderous intent between his eyebrows appeared and disappeared.

……

The remnant sun is like blood, on the east bank of the Yellow River.

On the arrow tower east of the camp in Pusakajin, Xu Huang stood proudly with his sword, standing still like an iron tower, looking at the east avenue from afar.

He led nearly 50,000 Wei troops and stationed in this Pubanjin for more than two months.

On the other side of the river is the territory of the Han Kingdom, and the famous Puban Pass stands on the bank of the river, across the river from him.

Wu Yi, the general of the Han State, is leading nearly 30,000 Han troops at this moment, holding on to the city.

Although Xu Huang's soldiers were strong and strong, and their numbers were larger than those of the Han army on the other side, the number of soldiers and horses had long been offset compared to the natural danger of the Yellow River.

For two months in a row, he was ordered by Su Zhe to not move, and only contained the enemy army.

The remnant sun shone on his face, a cold wind hit from behind, and Xu Huang shivered.

He didn't know why he stood here and looked east for a long time on a whim today.

For some reason, he suddenly had a strong premonition that his Kasakazu would no longer be calm, and something big would happen.

Before the last trace of the remnant sun set, on the east avenue, several horsemen and horses galloped and arrived at the camp gate.

"Whoever comes, report your name!" The Wei army guards on the inside of the camp gate raised their bows and crossbows and shouted loudly.

The young general said loudly: "This general is Deng Ai, on the order of His Majesty, I have come to see General Gongming, and I will report quickly!" ”

Deng Ai!

Xu Huang on the arrow tower heard it clearly, and an inexplicable blood suddenly came like a tide, and shouted loudly: "Open the camp gate quickly and let General Deng enter the camp!" ”

Deng Ai looked up and saw Xu Huang on the arrow tower, beckoned to him, and then hurriedly got off the arrow tower and personally greeted the camp gate.

"Deng Ai has seen General Gongming." Deng Ai turned over and dismounted, bowed his hand to salute, for this predecessor whose posture was far better than his own, Deng Ai did not dare to be disrespectful.

"Shizai, what kind of wind is blowing you, it's cold outside, let's talk inside." Xu Huang stepped forward with a smile, hooked Deng Ai's shoulders and walked towards the big tent.

Entering the big tent with a blazing fire, the two sat down as guests and hosts, and Xu Huang politely poured him a glass of warm wine.

"In this winter, it's really comfortable to drink such a cup of soju~~" Deng Ai drank it all and was amazed.

Xu Huang couldn't wait to ask: "Shizai, you are a celebrity in front of Your Majesty, and you suddenly appeared in our North Route Army camp today, Your Majesty must have an important will." ”

Deng Ai put down his wine glass, took a deep breath, and said: "General Gongming, mobilize the whole army immediately, Your Majesty has a decree, tell you to kill the Yellow River, capture Puban Pass, and break the deadlock in one fell swoop!" ”
