When the search and rescue team found the whereabouts of Wen Choujun, it was already two months later.

There were only thirty-seven people left in the Wen Chou army, ragged, skinny and bone, if it weren't for the breath, it would be no different from a dried corpse.

When these thirty-seven people saw the search and rescue team, their godless eyes suddenly lit up, and they struggled to stand up, although they didn't know each other, but everyone still recognized the special banner of King Jin's troops.

This group of men burst into tears, came over to hug the soldiers of the rescue team, Wen Chou said: "I thought the lord had forgotten about us, but I didn't expect to see the people sent by the lord at the last moment when we were about to despair, Wen Chou's life is the lord's!" ”

After fighting with Ma Teng's main force for many days, Wen Chou was outnumbered, so he temporarily transferred, they had never been to the northwest, they had never seen the boundless desert, and after transferring in, they never found the direction to go out.

Sleeping in the open air, starving, relying on the occasional small oasis, he has struggled to support for so long, and watching the soldiers fall one by one, it is useless for Wen Chou to break his head in a hurry.

In the end, there was a tragedy of cannibalism, and the soldiers who starved to death were made into dried meat and used as dry food.

After Wen Chou's troops were rescued, Jiang Sheng arranged for them to return to the state, Wen Chou train to ride the general, and the other 36 people were all promoted to the third level to praise them.

Pang De's life was similar to that of Wen Chou, but he was familiar with the terrain of the northwest and knew that the general situation was gone, so he surrendered to Xu Huang with the remnants of the army.

Ma Tie swore not to surrender, so Pang De had people kidnap him and take him out, and then transferred him to Chang'an, and Pang De was incorporated into Xu Huang's army as a partial general.

So far, almost all the soldiers and horses sent by Ma Teng have been wiped out.

Jiang Sheng's main forces were all in place, and Ma Teng's army was defeated and retreated, spit out all the Jincheng, Longxi, and Wudu that he had occupied, and lost Wuwei County.

The three armies of Zhang He, Zhang Ning, and Xu Huang continued to advance westward, fighting all the way, driving Ma Teng's soldiers and horses westward, successfully taking Zhangye and Juyan's vassal states, and placing the base camp of the Western Expeditionary Army in Lejun County, Jiuquan County, choking Ma Teng's throat to go to the Central Plains.

In order to completely solve the problem in the northwest, Jiang Sheng asked Xun Yu to transfer more than 3,000 middle- and lower-level officials to serve in the northwest.

Jiang Sheng dismissed Ma Teng from his official position in the name of offering the emperor, declared Ma Teng a rebel, and called on the world to chase him down.

In fact, there is no need for others to do it, Jiang Sheng can do it himself, and playing such a trick as a call is just a gorgeous excuse to kill Ma Teng.

After dividing Wuwei, Jincheng, Longxi, Hanyang, Anding, Beidi, and Wudu as Liangzhou, Bai Chen Ji was Liangzhou pastor.

He also set up the Anxi Protectorate in Lejun County, with full responsibility for the western frontier, worshiped Xu Huang as the general of Anxi, and the Third Field Army became the Northwest Frontier Army.

Due to the long length of the battle line, Jiang Sheng's 200,000 army was not in sufficient supply, so Jiang Sheng had no choice but to order a suspension of the westward march and wait for the supplies transported from the east to arrive before making plans.

Although Ma Teng got a chance to breathe, the situation is not optimistic, the grain base in the northwest is Zhangye, and now it is completely in the hands of Jiang Sheng, and what he wants to solve is also the problem of grain and grass.

The northwest has temporarily entered a phase of stalemate, while Jingzhou is experiencing an undercurrent at this time.

Liu Bei defected to Liu Biao, Gan was a pawn of the horse, led the army to attack Lujiang and failed, losing a lot of soldiers and horses, Liu Biao appointed Liu Bei as the commander of Xinye County.

Xinye is Nanyang's territory, and when Liu Biao asked Jiang Sheng for peace before, he clearly said that he would give up Nanyang, and he was clearly pitting Liu Bei.

Jian Yong also thought so, Liu Bei thought so, so he said to Liu Biao that he had no virtue and no talent, and he just wanted to take refuge under Liu Biao, and he didn't dare to have anything else to look forward to.

Liu Biao "persuaded with good words", Liu Bei insisted on not accepting it, and Liu Biao had to give up.

Liu Bei stayed in Jiangxia, and there was no war these days, so he took Guan Zhang to tour around and familiarize himself with the cultural features and topography of Jingzhou.

On this day, they were hanging out in the teahouse and listening to the guests at the next table talking about something.

"Mr. Shuijing clearly said: Wolong and phoenix chicks can win the world. In the end, where is this crouching dragon and phoenix chick? ”

"I heard that this Mr. Wolong is farming in Longzhong and doesn't ask about the world; Feng Xiao is a drunkard, swaggering through the market every day, and everyone is disgusted. ”

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Liu Bei is now in short supply of talents, so he keeps it in mind.

After tea, Liu Bei inquired about the location of Xiangyang Longzhong and went to visit Mr. Wolong.

After arriving, he saw that the chai door was locked and there was no one in sight, Liu Bei felt strange in his heart, and shouted a few times: "I am Liu Bei after King Jing of Zhongshan, may I ask Mr. Wolong?" ”

A boy came out of the cottage and said, "My husband has gone out to meet friends, please come back." ”

Liu Bei said: "When will Mr. come back?" I'll wait here. ”

Tong'er said, "You don't have to wait! If you don't come back today, sir, don't stay here. ”

Liu Bei had no choice but to decide to come back another day, and turned around and went back to Xiangyang to live temporarily.

On the way back to the city, Liu Bei was stopped by a ragged drunk, and after eating the closed door, Liu Bei was already angry, so he was even more annoyed and reprimanded a few words, Zhang Fei was a violent temper, and he was punched and kicked when he went up.

The drunken man had a bruised nose and swollen face, and staggered away.

A passer-by walked by and said with a smile: "Feng Chick has become a soup chicken again, haha"

When Liu Bei heard this, he regretted it, he heard the words "Feng Xiao is a drunk" in the teahouse in the morning, and he just remembered Mr. Wolong!

It was not the first time that Liu Bei had been cheeky, so he quickly caught up with the drunk and apologized again and again.

Feng Xiao asked, "Who are you?" Hit me and apologize for what? ”

"Fang Cai didn't recognize Mr. Feng Yan, how offended. Please bear with me! ”

"Mr. Feng Yan? Haha, it's the first time I've heard of such a name, haha! Pang Tong laughed and walked away, leaving only Liu Bei messy in the wind.

After going back, Liu Bei blamed Zhang Fei for being too short-tempered, and told him not to be angry when he visited Mr. Wolong.

The next morning, Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to visit Zhuge Liang, who was still that boy.

Liu Bei said: "After King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande came to visit Mr. Wolong. ”

The boy said, "My husband hasn't come back yet, so let's go." ”

Liu Bei knew that all literati with a little knowledge were pretentious, and he would not show up if he didn't come a few times, so he left.

Three days later, Liu Bei came again, and this time Tong'er let them into the courtyard.

"My husband is taking a lunch break, so let's wait here first."

After a long time, Zhang Fei couldn't bear it, and was complaining, and Guan Yu couldn't stop persuading.

When the sun was setting, Liu Bei was already planning to leave, and Tong'er came out to report: "Sir, please enter the three to talk." ”

Liu Bei "looked at the thatched house three times" and finally got to see Mr. Wolong.

Mr. Wolong, surnamed Zhuge , single name Liang, word Kongming, ancestral home in Langya, Xuzhou, uncle served in Jingzhou, so he moved to Jingzhou for many years.

Zhuge Liang talked with Liu Bei all night, analyzed the situation of the Han Dynasty in detail, and judged that the world would be three-legged.

Cao Cao I was a hero, but he couldn't last long, and he would definitely belong to Jiang Sheng's forces.

Liu Biao is indecisive and difficult to achieve great things; Liu Zhang is even more short-sighted and does not want to forge ahead.

If Liu Bei can enter Shu, he will replace him and become a big man.

At the end of the conversation, Zhuge Liang suggested that Liu Bei first seize Jingzhou, and then enter Shu for development.
