In the big tent, there was silence, and a pair of surprised eyes looked at Su Zhe.

Huxian County is two hundred miles away, and it takes about three days for the scouts to come and go, and now that the scouts have not returned, how does Su Zhe know the battle situation there?

Just looked at Su Zhe's confident smile, as if the odds were in hand, and it didn't seem to comfort them.

Just when the generals were suspicious, suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and a figure shot in like a cannonball, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The generals were startled and drew their swords one after another.

When the dust settled, I saw a man kneeling in front of the tent, gasping for breath and wiping the hot sweat from his forehead.

It's Hu Che'er.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat down one after another.

Hu Che'er gasped and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Ren succeeded in ambushing Zhao Yun in Qinling, annihilating 7,000 enemy troops, and then joined Yan Liangtai Shici to join forces in Hu County, severely damaged Zhang Fei's department, annihilated 5,000 enemies, and captured Hu County!" ”

As soon as this news came out, in the big tent, the generals were immediately surprised, and their admiring eyes gathered towards Su Zhe.

Their Son of Heaven was really right, and the battle of Huxian was really won!

Su Zhe had already expected it, and he was not too happy, but said lightly: "I know, you go back and tell Zhang Ren that they have made meritorious contributions in this battle, especially Zhang Ren, and the first credit belongs to him!" You tell them to guard Huxian County, and I will immediately send people to deliver grain and grass. ”

"No!"

Hu Che'er got the order, gave up his hand and retreated, and with a kick, he shot away like a cannonball.

In the big tent, the pot exploded, and the generals were excited, and all of them were enthusiastic.

The veteran Huang Zhong said happily: "Your Majesty is really a clever calculation, unpredictable, this plan not only severely damaged the enemy, but also eliminated more than 10,000 Han troops, which can be called a big victory." ”

Zhang Xiu also jumped up and said angrily: "Huxian County will take it, Huo Jun and Fa Zheng will become turtles in the urn, what are we waiting for, hurry up and break Shaanxi County and capture the two thieves alive!" ”

Inside the big tent, the generals were excited, and the shouts of hunting echoed in the tent.

Su Zhe looked at the high-spirited generals, drank a glass of wine, and laughed loudly.

……

Hundreds of miles away, Tongguan.

The night is dark, but the palace hall is brightly lit.

Liu Bei stood with his hands in his hands, staring at the map hanging on the wall, silent for a long time, and a trace of anxiety flowed between his eyebrows.

It has been ten days since Zhao Yun led the army to leave, and there has been no news so far, and I don't know whether he has walked out of the remaining veins of the Qinling Mountains or whether the sneak attack on the Wei army has been successful.

With the passage of time, Liu Bei's initial ambition has become much less, and what has been added is worry and lack of confidence.

Although this strategy seemed to be seamless and there seemed to be no possibility of failure, Liu Bei was still in a bad mood.

There is no way, who let him and Su Zhe suffer too much, no matter how exquisite the strategy, even if it is close to perfection, he will never feel at ease.

"Your Majesty is worried about Zilong." Zhuge Liang saw his concern, so he asked lightly.

Liu Bei's figure shook slightly, turned around, and said with a wry smile: "Let the prime minister see it, that's right, I am indeed a little worried." ”

Zhuge Liang stood up, pointed to the sky outside the hall and said: "The minister estimates that the news of victory and defeat should arrive soon, but if His Majesty is really worried, the minister can watch the celestial phenomena, and maybe he can see the victory or defeat in advance." ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up: "The prime minister still has such thaumaturgy?" Let's take a look. ”

Zhuge Liang walked out of the hall, gently shook the feather fan, looked up at the starry sky, and secretly calculated in his hands.

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, followed closely behind Zhuge Liang, and also looked up at the stars, eager to know the result.

Zhuge Liang was originally calm and relaxed, and he had a full grasp of his strategy, but only in order to comfort Liu Bei, he decided to use the technique of Qimen and watch the sky at night to predict.

Looking at it, Zhuge Liang's brows couldn't help frowning, and his eyes gradually revealed a hint of strangeness, and he muttered: "It shouldn't be, could it be that I miscalculated......"

Hearing this, Liu Bei chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Prime Minister, what do you say about the celestial phenomena, is there something wrong with Zilong?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, let the ministers calculate again." Zhuge Liang rubbed his eyes and continued to stare closely.

When he was calculating, hurried footsteps sounded, and it was Guan Yu coming with a gloomy and red face.

"Your Majesty, something has happened." Guan Yu arched his hand.

"Something? What's wrong? Liu Bei's voice became more and more uneasy.

Guan Yu took a deep breath and said silently: "Back to Your Majesty, the news has just been transmitted from the east, Zilong missed the sneak attack on Shaanxi County, and Yide also lost Hu County. ”

A thunderclap fell in the air.

Liu Bei's figure shook violently, and his gray face was distorted and deformed in an instant, replaced by endless consternation.

Zhuge Liang was also shocked, and the remaining confidence on his face disappeared, and he became gloomy.

"Why? Why did they both lose? It's just that Zilong lost, how could Yide lose Huxian? Liu Bei's voice was hoarse and he had an expression of disbelief.

Guan Yu let out a long sigh, and had to tell the whole story of defeat silently.

Only then did Liu Bei know that Zhao Yun was actually in the remnants of the Qinling Mountains, and was ambushed by the Wei army, and the 7,000 soldiers and horses were annihilated.

It was Zhao Yun's defeat that the Wei army calmly walked out of the Qin vein, sneaked into Huxian and succeeded, killing Zhang Fei who was defeated by the enemy.

Seven thousand soldiers and horses, plus the five thousand soldiers and horses lost by Zhang Fei, there are more than 10,000 people, and they are gone.

Liu Bei felt as if his own flesh had been cut, and his heart was dripping blood.

"Why? In the remnants of the Qinling Mountains, why did the Wei army appear? Liu Bei asked sharply, full of puzzlement.

Guan Yu was speechless, and he couldn't answer for a while.

Zhuge Liang's eyes moved, and he sighed: "Your Majesty, if the minister's guess is right, then the Su thief originally planned to send troops from Shaanxi County to take the remaining veins of the Qinling Mountains, and wanted to sneak attack Hu County. ”

Liu Bei's body was shocked, and he suddenly came to his senses.

Zhuge Liang continued: "According to the minister's opinion, Su Zhe's attack from the Yellow River was just a feint, just to attract Yide to transfer all the troops from Huxian to Dutou, so that the Wei army in the Qinling Mountains in the south could take advantage of the situation to break through my Huxian, even if we didn't send Zilong's troops and horses, Huxian would still fall." ”

At this moment, Zhuge Liang finally saw through all of Su Zhe's plans, but unfortunately it was too late.

After analyzing, he couldn't help but sigh: "This Su thief's strategy, one link after another, is seamless, exquisite, and really impeccable." ”

Liu Bei's face was as gloomy as iron, and he froze in place in a daze, with a look of despair.
