Ye Zhao obviously didn't have the intention of letting Yong Yu and Meng Shu go back to gather heavy troops and then start a war with them, this time he entered Nanzhong, what he fought was to eliminate the resistance forces in the shortest possible time, and then occupy the idea of Nanzhong, how could he let Yong Yu and Meng Huo go back to fight again with such a good way?

After receiving news from Zhou Cang in the afternoon that Yongqi and Meng Shu abandoned the city and withdrew their troops, and also brought a large number of people from Zhurong City, Ye Zhao immediately ordered a pursuit.

Robbed people and property and left, there is no such good thing in the world.

"My lord, it's the general's negligence!" Guan Yu said with a look of shame, as the main general of the front line, even if he came to visit Ye Zhao, he could not escape the blame for letting the enemy withdraw so easily.

"Indeed, I have been, and I will remember in the future that once the war starts, there are only military orders in the army, and all red tape is eliminated, this is the army, not officialdom, I said, the army emphasizes efficiency, not etiquette, and the army has never been a place to be reasonable!" Ye Zhao nodded, looked at the generals and said: "The big war is imminent, Yun Chang is a general, and the fault of this matter is not one of them, and he will be demoted to a partial general, and he will be fined for one year." ”

From the first day that Ye Zhao led the troops, he had the heaviest military order, although it could be changed occasionally, but it was the rule that meritorious service must be rewarded and punished, and it was also the foundation for the troops under Ye Zhao's command to always be able to command like an arm.

"Guan Yu is guilty!" Guan Yu bowed and said.

"Gu Cheng!" Ye Zhao looked at the generals and his eyes fell on Gu Cheng.

"The last general!" Gu Cheng took a step forward and said loudly.

"Lead the headquarters to attack and disturb the thieves, as long as he refuses to stop and fight against our army, then let these thieves keep me awake, hurry during the day, and can't rest at night, since you want to run, then don't stop." Ye Zhao said to Gu Cheng, the special operations battalion is the trump card force in his hands, since entering Sichuan, there have been few battles in other troops, but in order to maintain combat effectiveness, this unit will go into the mountains every month for actual combat training, as for the opponent, it is Gu Cheng's own naturalization, or the mountain thieves, or the hostile Qiang barbarian tribe, until today, this army can be said to be soaked out of the sea of blood.

It is definitely taboo to rush to the road in a territory that you are not familiar with, especially in a hilly place like Nanzhong, where many places are still filled with miasma, a bad one falls into the trap of the enemy, capsizes in the gutter, and the reputation is small, if the army of the Nanban is wiped out like this, the prestige established by Ye Zhao in Shuzhong will also be greatly weakened, and at that time, it is not only these scholars in the four counties of Nanzhong who want to pull him down.

Ye Zhao was glad that he had the foresight to train such a comprehensive army, otherwise he could really only let Yong Yu and Meng Shu leave, and slowly figure it out.

"Whoa!" Gu Cheng agreed, and took the order to go, the number of special operations battalions has always remained at four hundred, and it is convenient to move, and only a quarter of an hour after receiving the order, the four hundred soldiers of the special operations battalion have already left the city.

"Guan Yu, you led the soldiers and horses of your headquarters as the vanguard, you have been in this southern land for more than a year, you should know how to march in this reckless mountain." Ye Zhao took out another arrow and handed it to Guan Yu and said, "Clear all obstacles for the main force of our army, I don't want the army to be disturbed in any way before confronting the main force of the enemy." ”

"Whoa! Don't worry, if something goes wrong again, the last will come to see you! Guan Yu solemnly saluted, he had already lost face by letting the thief army leave before, if this pioneer job went wrong again, Guan Yu felt that he would no longer have the face to live.

"There is no joke in the army, such words, don't say them in the future!" Ye Zhao frowned and interrupted Guan Yu and said: "The barbarians in Nanzhong are good at driving poisonous insects and beasts, and many regions are full of miasma, pay attention to these, the two armies are fighting, and I can still trust the ability of Yun Chang." ”

"Whoa!" Guan Yu answered the order again, took the arrow, didn't talk nonsense, and turned away.

"Zhang Ren, Guan Ping, Yu Er and other 3,000 soldiers, stay in Zhu Ti, Zhang Ren is the main general, and Guan Ping is the auxiliary!" Ye Zhao took out an arrow again, looked at the two of them and said: "Zhu Ti is the back road of our army, there is no room for mistakes, Zhang Ren has a stable personality, Guan Ping has a deep friendship with the Zhurong family, if there are thieves and soldiers who violate the border, you can ask the Zhurong family to help, this city must not be lost." ”

To the west of Zhu Ti is Yue Wei County, although the road is difficult, and the soldiers and horses of Yue Wan will not be able to come for a while, but Ye Zhao has to guard against it, Zhu Ti is Ye Zhao's retreat, which is a matter of life and death for the three armies, and it cannot be taken lightly.

Zhang Ren in Ye Zhao's generals among the generals, is not a majority of the stable and victorious generals, the first year of Xingping made the Han family a place, several times to repel the Qingqiang, steady and steady, step by step to reduce the living space of the Qingqiang, and finally forced a large number of Qingqiang people to surrender, accept naturalization, this style, the most suitable for defending the city, and Guan Ping is the Zhurong family's horse, not only knows the terrain of the Zhuti area well, at the critical moment, but also can say that the Zhurong clan helps, although the two are both new on the battlefield, but in terms of ability, it is the best combination in Ye Zhao's mind.

"Whoa!" The two generals stepped forward and took the arrows respectively.

"The rest of the generals, repair all night, make food on the third watch tomorrow, and send troops on the fifth watch, there must be no mistake!" Ye Zhao got up and said.

"Yes!"

There was nothing to say all night, early the next morning, Ye Zhao led the army to march, Guan Yu, as the vanguard, had already led the army to pursue yesterday, and the march of the army naturally could not be compared with a small force, not to mention that Ye Zhao still needed to supervise the grain and grass of the three armies in the rear, and the itinerary could not be too fast, but the thirteen flying boats that came and went, including the army, were between the vanguard and the main force, keeping the news smooth, and also responsible for exploring whether there were ambushes in the Quartet.

Yong Yu and Meng Shu obviously didn't expect Ye Zhao to come up directly, the road in Nanzhong is not easy to walk, there are not even roads in many places, not only is it difficult for Ye Zhao's army to walk, but they can't get up fast when they want to hurry, what's worse is that on the night of the third day, the special combat team led by Gu Cheng looked for the traces they left and stared at them.

Nearly 200 people were killed by the hidden arrows in one night, and the officers and men in the army were even more panicked and unable to sleep at ease, resulting in a great reduction in the speed of the march the next day.

It was already difficult to move fast, and this sudden small force was like a swarm of flies attacking day and night.

Gu Cheng divided the four hundred people into 100 teams, turned them into zero, and arranged their own rest time, but the attack on the Jianning troops did not stop for a moment, and the road was originally difficult to travel, and because of such interference from the special operations battalion, it could have traveled thirty miles a day, but now it can't even go ten miles.

"Send someone to clean up these Han people!" Meng Shu had a pair of dark circles under his eyes and roared at his subordinates, he couldn't live this day.

It's just that what is frightening is that the small force sent out basically has not returned, but the troops of more than 500 people have not even found the shadow of the enemy, and after this has lasted for three days, they are stunned that even the sentry detectives cannot be dispatched, and the entire army is as if it is blind, and the officers and men in the army are even more panicked.

"We can't go down like this, if we go on like this, these people alone can make our army disperse!" On the third day, Yong Yu finally couldn't bear it, and brought someone to find Meng Huo, and discussed with Meng Huo: "I want to fight with that Ye Zhao!" This road is difficult to travel, and the 60,000 army is not this Nanzhong warrior, unfamiliar with the road, it is impossible to invade in large numbers. ”

Meng Shu nodded, he hadn't closed his eyes for three consecutive days, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even he and Yongqi felt that they couldn't hold it anymore.

It's just that before the two of them can choose a dangerous place, Guan Yu's troops are only a mountain away from them.

"Guan Yu? How did he come so quickly? When Yong Yu saw Guan Yu's banner, he couldn't help but be shocked, Guan Yu's bravery, he had heard more than once that they had been wiped out by the special operations battalion before scouts and sentinels, which was equivalent to digging out their ears and eyes, so that they didn't react until Guan Yu appeared in sight.

Guan Yu's arrival also means that it is impossible to occupy a dangerous place to resist the enemy, Guan Yu will not give them this opportunity, and for the sake of today's plan, they can only set up camp to meet the enemy.

After Guan Yu caught up with Yongqi and Meng Shu, he ordered Zhou Cang to go to call the battle, but no one responded to the battle, launched a tentative attack, and the enemy army only used bows and arrows to resist the enemy, and held the camp without leaving, Guan Yu had few soldiers, and it was not cost-effective to attack, so he could only camp on the spot and watch the thief army, so as not to let the thief army have another chance to escape.

For Yong Yu and Meng Shu, the confrontation with Guan Yu made them breathe a sigh of relief, since Guan Yu appeared, the troops that had been noisy in their ears for the past few days were gone, and they could finally have a good rest.

In Guan Yu's camp, looking at Gu Cheng in front of him, Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly: "You mean, they haven't closed their eyes for three days and three nights?" ”

"Yes, the last general can guarantee his life!" Gu Cheng arched his hand.

Guan Yu nodded, Guan Yu had almost no impression of Gu Cheng's soldiers and horses, but now it seems that there is obviously something extraordinary about dragging the 30,000 army with 400 lives.

"General Gu has worked hard, let's go rest." After thinking for a moment, Guan Yu nodded at Gu Cheng and said.

"Oh, the last general will retire!" When Gu Cheng got the word out, he didn't care anymore, the special operations battalion only listened to Ye Zhao's orders, and without Ye Zhao's orders, the special operations battalion was not commanded by anyone.

"Zhou Cang, order the lieutenant generals and soldiers of the army to take turns to rest, tonight, I will break the enemy camp!" After Gu Cheng left, Guan Yu pondered for a moment and said loudly to Zhou Cang.

"General, this is an army of 30,000, and our army only has 5,000 people, even if the night attack is successful, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break it, why not wait for the lord's army to arrive, and then make a plan?" Zhou Cang was shocked when he heard this, and dissuaded.

"The thief army has not slept for three days, I am afraid that it is already sleepy, and now it has suddenly relaxed, even if there is a military order tonight, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop the sleepiness, this is the weakest time for the enemy army, it is a good opportunity to break the enemy, if the arrival of the lord's army, the enemy army recovers, it is able to win, and the casualties of our army will inevitably increase." Seeing what Zhou Cang wanted to say, Guan Yu shook his head and said, "Don't persuade again, do what you order!" ”

"Whoa!"
