Yan Liang had the strength to pursue, but Huang Zhong's strength was extremely expended, but he was unable to chase anymore, so he lay on the horse's back, panting heavily.

Su Zhelema was in front of him and asked with a smile, "Hansheng, are you okay?" ”

Huang Zhong laughed at himself: "The old minister is not a big deal, but he has consumed a lot of physical strength and is a little weak, alas, the old minister is indeed old, and he couldn't keep the big-eared thief for His Majesty!" ”

Su Zhe smiled: "Liu Bei fled and fled, he has now lost Jincheng County, leaving only four remote and barren counties in Liangbei, I will see where he can escape." ”

Huang Zhong nodded and said: "Your Majesty is reasonable, Liu Bei is already a lost dog, and the four counties of Liangbei are his last territory, if we continue to pursue, he will have no way to escape." ”

At that moment, Su Zhe ordered to personally lead an army of 70,000 to continue to pursue Liu Bei in the north, and the rest of the army was returned to the Central Plains.

One is that after the end of this battle, Liu Bei only had less than 20,000 soldiers and horses left, and they were all defeated soldiers, and they were not vulnerable at all.

Second, Liangbei is located in a remote area, and it is more difficult to transport grain there, with the current national strength of Great Wei, it is not enough to support the supply of grain and grass for the army of 200,000, and Su Zhe can only lead more than 70,000 people to pursue.

So, Su Zhe took Ma Chao's brothers and sisters, Yan Liangwen, Deng Ai, Zhang Xiu and other generals to pursue, and the rest of the generals commanded the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops and marched in the direction of Luoyang.

Su Zhe was chasing, and Liu Bei was fleeing.

Huang Zhong's interception battle caused him to lose nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, and only 16,000 defeated soldiers remained under his command, and he fled frantically all the way north.

After fleeing for seven days in a row, Liu Bei finally led his remnants to defeat and fled to Guzang City, the seat of Wuwei County.

Wuwei County guarded Du attack, and heard that Liu Bei led the defeated troops to flee, so he hurriedly opened the city gate and welcomed Liu Bei and his party in.

Guzang City is the place of Wuwei governance, although it is located in a remote area, but it is also the heart of a county, and there is plenty of grain, grass, wine and meat.

Du Xi set up a banquet in the county meeting, and warmly surprised Liu Bei.

At the same time, he ordered the treasury to be opened, and all the wine and meat were taken to comfort the defeated soldiers brought by Liu Bei.

There was wine and meat, and the more than 10,000 soldiers who had been hungry for a few days were full of food and drink, and finally their nervous spirits were slightly relieved.

In the main hall of the county government, Liu Bei also didn't care about the image of the king at all, and ate and drank nonsense.

After gnawing half of the leg of mutton, Liu Bei was full, burped, and stroked his round belly with his hand, looking very satisfied.

"Du Xian, I didn't expect you to have so much grain, rice, wine and meat in Wuwei County, you are too competent to be in Wuwei County." Liu Bei, who was full of wine and food, praised him.

Du Xian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has won the award, and after the minister learned that the Su thieves had captured Chang'an, he began to raise grain and grass day and night, just afraid that His Majesty will one day come to our Wuwei, so it will come in handy." ”

Liu Bei frowned slightly, revealing a little displeasure, and asked rhetorically: "What, Du Raid, is it possible, you thought early on that I couldn't beat the Su thief, and I would flee to you for refuge?" ”

Du Xi was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that his words were inappropriate, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the minister didn't mean that, the minister said ......"

He was in a hurry, not knowing how to explain it, and cold sweat rolled on his forehead.

"Forget it, I don't have to explain." Liu Bei waved his hand and laughed at himself: "I really can't defeat that Su thief, otherwise I wouldn't have lost my land and land, and retreated to this Wuwei County, defeat is defeat, there is nothing that can't be said." ”

Du Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Your Majesty does not have to be discouraged, now Your Majesty still has nearly 20,000 male soldiers, and our four counties in Liangbei may not be able to repel the tens of thousands of pursuers of the Su thief." ”

"Tens of thousands?" The corners of Liu Bei's mouth swept up with bitterness, "Du Qing, you are wrong, the Su thief has an army of 200,000!" ”

Du Xi smiled faintly: "Your Majesty is too worried, Wuwei is not as good as Guanzhong, this place is remote and barren, there is no way to get grain on the spot, you can only rely on transporting grain from the Central Plains, the minister estimates that with the national strength of Wei, it is impossible to support such a long grain road for an army of 200,000, so the Su thief will either chase it, or he can only bring 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses at most." ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he looked at Sima Yi and Yang Fu.

Sima Yi nodded and said: "Du Taishou is right, Liangzhou is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, and there is no decent waterway here to transport grain, all rely on manpower to transport, although the Su thief is strong, it may not be able to eat." ”

Liu Bei's eyes flashed, and suddenly he saw hope again.

At this time, Zhao Yun said: "Even if the Su thief only brings sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and horses, it will be several times that of us, with the current morale of our army......

He didn't finish his words, but the meaning of his words couldn't be more obvious:

Even if Su Zhe only led 70,000 people, they were no opponent.

Liu Bei frowned and looked at the ministers: "Do you have any strategies to defend against the enemy?" ”

All the ministers were silent, and they were helpless for a while.

Liu Bei was unhappy in his heart, and sighed: "It's a pity, the prime minister is still unconscious, if the prime minister is here, it would be good, he will be able to share my worries." ”

After Zhuge Liang cast a spell in Yuzhong City that day, his heart was haggard and his mental consumption was too heavy, and he fell into a coma on the spot.

Afterwards, Liu Bei called a doctor for treatment, but came to the conclusion that Zhuge Liang's life was fine, but he fell into a coma, and he didn't know when he would wake up.

Liu Bei had no choice but to flee with the comatose Zhuge Liang, fleeing from Yuzhong City to this Guzang City, all the way away, but Zhuge Liang did not wake up.

Liu Bei's words were just to express his dependence on Zhuge Liang, and he didn't have any other heart, but when Sima Yi, Yang Fu and others heard it, it was extremely heart-wrenching, as if they were sarcastically saying that these strategists were useless.

Sima Yi's eyes rolled, and then he said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, maybe he can surprise and annihilate Su Thief and his pursuers in Guzang City." ”

Liu Bei's spirits were greatly lifted, and he hurriedly said: "I know that Zhongda's wisdom is not inferior to that of the prime minister, and he must have a clever plan, come and listen to it." ”

At that moment, Sima Yi explained his strategy unhurriedly.

The more Liu Bei listened, the more excited he became, and his face couldn't help but burn with a hideous murderous intent again.

After listening to Sima Yi's words, Liu Bei slapped the case, jumped up, and said happily: "Zhongda's plan is really wonderful, the Su thief would never have imagined that we could lay such a wonderful trap for him on the way to retreat, very good, just use Zhongda's plan!" ”

……

A few days later, Guzang Chengnan.

On the desolate ancient road, 70,000 Great Wei Infantry cavalry soldiers were marching north with high morale.

At this time, although it was late winter and early spring, the cold wind in the northwest was still like a knife, and the skin was faintly painful, but the soldiers did not mind and their morale was still undiminished.

There was only one fanatical thought in their hearts:

Even if you chase to the ends of the earth, you must chase Liu Bei to death and destroy the Han Kingdom!

Su Zhe sat on his crotch with the red rabbit and ran in the middle of the army, and through the remnant sun of dusk, he vaguely saw the end of the wind and sand in front of him, and it seemed that the outline of a city had appeared.

"Meng Qi, where is the front?" Su Zhe asked.

"That city should be Guzang City, the seat of Wuwei County." Ma Chao replied.

Su Zhe nodded slightly: "These four counties in Liangbei are really far away, it seems that I only brought 70,000 elites here." ”

"Your Majesty is wise." Ma Chao agreed: "Liu Bei only has less than 20,000 soldiers and horses left, and I think I will stick to Guzang City in the future, and we have 70,000 soldiers and horses, which is enough to besiege." ”

As soon as the words fell, a strong wind howled in front of them, and Hu Che'er's figure stopped in front of them.

"Your Majesty, the minister has already reconnoitred, and the big-eared thief has abandoned Guzang City, and it seems that he plans to flee to Zhangye County further north." Hu Che'er gasped and reported.

Liu Bei actually abandoned Gu Zang?

When Su Zhe heard this information, his expression was slightly shocked, and he was somewhat surprised.
