"Prime Minister, what should we do?" Liu Bei, who woke up, finally remembered to ask Zhuge Liang for help.

Zhuge Liang sighed: "The minister said that day that it is the best policy to gather all the soldiers and horses in Tongguan to hold on, but Fa Xiaozhi insisted on defending Shaanxi County, and the result was calculated by the Su thief again after all, alas~~"

Liu Bei frowned deeply, and secretly gritted his teeth and said: "Fa Xiaozhi, Fa Xiaozhi, I was mistaken by you this time." ”

For a while, Liu Bei Junchen complained about Fa Zheng, as if today's defeat was all due to Fa Zheng.

After a while, Liu Bei said: "It's just that the matter has come to this point, and the prime minister has to make an idea of how to deal with it next." ”

Zhuge Liang said silently: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to strictly guard Tongguan and let Shaanxi County become a lonely city, and I only hope that Fa Xiaozhi and Na Huo Jun can hold on until the arrival of the Xiqiang Iron Cavalry, and His Majesty will lead the army out of Tong to rescue him." ”

Liu Bei's face was bitter, but he could only sigh helplessly.

……

Shaanxi County, the camp of the Wei army.

The news of Huxian's success has already spread throughout the whole army, and more than 200,000 Wei soldiers and soldiers are all jubilant and full of fighting spirit.

In the imperial tent, two heads have been placed in front of Su Zhe's case.

One is a horse playing with people's heads, and the other is Cheng Yin's head, but Yan Liang and their stars are traveling at night, and they sent people to the camp to ask for merit.

"Your Majesty, Huxian County is broken, what are we waiting for, let's attack Shaanxi County immediately." Huang Zhong couldn't wait to shout.

The generals were highly motivated and shouted for battle.

Su Zhe smiled and said: "What's the hurry, now the enemy army in Shaanxi County doesn't know that they have completely become a lonely army, if our army attacks the city, the enemy army will definitely fight to the death, so we have to let them be stimulated." ”

After that, Su Zhe ordered to go down and ask the camp in the west to temporarily open a wide opening and let the enemy enter and exit.

Su Zhe's purpose was naturally to let the messengers of the Han army outside enter Shaanxi County smoothly, so that the news of the loss of Huxian County and the defeat of the Han army could be brought to Fa Zheng and the Han defenders in the city.

Only in this way can the spirit of the enemy be severely defeated and their will to fight weakened, and then Su Zhe can take advantage of the situation to attack.

The generals understood Su Zhe's intentions, so naturally they had no objections and acted according to their orders.

On the same day, the camp, which had been surrounded by an iron wall, quietly withdrew through a gap.

Shaanxi County, West Gate.

Every move of the Wei army was closely monitored by the Han army in the city, and as soon as there was a change in the western encampment, the Han army in the city quickly saw it.

Huo Jun and Fa Zheng didn't believe it, and rushed to the city in person, only to see that the originally high earthen wall had been broken open dozens of steps, and outside the earthen wall, the continuous Wei army encircled the camp, and also gave up a gap near a mile wide.

"Captain Fa, Wei Gou has obviously surrounded us into iron buckets, why did he suddenly take the initiative to open the gap again, what is the idea of the Su thief?" Huo Jun couldn't see the clues, and looked at Fa Zheng with a puzzled expression

Fa Zheng stroked his short beard, staring at the mouth outside the city, and there were deep doubts in his eyebrows.

After a while, Fa Zheng suddenly realized and sneered: "If my guess is correct, then the Su thief's treacherous plan to sneak attack Hu County must have failed." ”

"How did the captain judge it?" Huo Jun's eyes lit up.

Fa Zheng said unhurriedly: "The Su thief attacked Hu County and lost, our Shaanxi County is not a lonely city, the west camp of the Su thief will always be threatened by the soldiers of my Hu County, and the Su thief will not be able to calmly besiege my Shaanxi County, so he has to open a hole." ”

Huo Jun was confused, and said blankly: "The last general still doesn't understand, why did the Su thief fail to attack Huxian County, but he opened a gap." ”

Fa Zheng sneered: "Isn't this enough to understand, the Su thieves are afraid that they will not be able to attack Shaanxi County, and they are worried that we will defend the city, so they deliberately let go of the gap and leave me a so-called 'way of life', the whole army knows that they can retreat from the west as a last resort, and they will definitely not defend the city with the determination to die, so that the Su thieves have a chance to take Shaanxi County." ”

"I see, this thief is so cunning." Huo Jun, who suddenly realized, couldn't help but say sarcastically.

Fa Zheng snorted coldly: "You immediately go and inform the generals that our army in Huxian County has been taken, no matter how fierce the Wei army's attack is, we will never abandon the city, the city is in the people, and the city is dead!" ”

"The Admiral understands." Huo Jun happily accepted the order.

When the news came out, the Han soldiers who originally thought that they would be trapped in the lonely city suddenly lifted their spirits and strengthened their determination to defend the city to the death.

Two days later.

The same Ximen, Fa Zheng and Huo Jun, inspected the city as usual to inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

Just when the remnant sun was slanting westward, and they were about to go down to the city, a horse galloped from outside the city, reaching the city, claiming to be Liu Bei's messenger, and bringing Liu Bei's handwritten letter to see Fazheng.

The Wei army besieged the camp and opened a gap, and their contact with the outside was not severed, so Liu Bei could naturally send someone to deliver a message to them.

Fa Zheng called for the gate to be opened, and the messenger was let in.

"Where's Your Majesty's handwritten letter?" Fa Zheng looked at his messenger vigilantly, not fully believing his identity.

After all, with Su Zhe's deceit, it was completely possible to send someone to pretend to be Liu Bei's messenger to give the wrong will to Fazheng, and Fazheng was not so easy to despise.

"Your Majesty's handwritten letter is here, please look at it." The messenger took the silk book from his bosom and brought it forward.

Fa Zheng took it and opened it to see that it was Liu Bei's handwriting, so he breathed a sigh of relief and no longer doubted the identity of the messenger.

Then he began to look at the letter carefully, and as he looked at it, his face became more and more solemn, and his eyes gradually filled with amazement.

"This ...... How is this possible! ”

Suddenly, Fa Zheng let out an exclamation, and the letter in his hand couldn't hold it, and it fell to the ground without his hand.

Huo Jun's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly picked up the letter, and after reading it carefully, his face couldn't help but change in shock.

The content of the letter was very simple, Liu Bei frankly informed him that Huxian County had been lost, and told him to hold on to the lonely city of Shaanxi County no matter how he was, and wait until Liu Bei led the Xiqiang Iron Cavalry out of the pass to help.

Liu Bei also repeatedly stated in the letter that he would never abandon Fazheng Huo Jun and 10,000 Shaanxi County soldiers, and asked him to persevere no matter how difficult he encountered, and he would never give up.

Fa Zheng was not only shocked, but also felt that his face was like being slapped hard, and he was ashamed and painful.

The person who smoked him was none other than Su Zhe.

Only now did he know why Su Zhe took the initiative to open the western siege, it turned out that it was just to let Liu Bei's messenger enter the city, so as to reveal this bad news to them and dampen their spiritual fighting spirit.

The funny thing is that Fa Zheng was still self-righteous, thinking that Su Zhe opened the western siege camp because of the failure of the sneak attack on Huxian County, so that they could abandon the city and flee.

Fa Zheng felt deeply humiliated and humiliated by Su Zhe!
