Wei Yan did not give the order to chase, but led everyone to start away from the avenue and move closer to the mountains to the south. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Rest, rest for a while! If you don't take a break, not only will you not be able to stand it, but the horse will be tired to death. It's really exhausting the horses to death, and we're afraid that we're going to lose our lives here. ”

Zhou Du followed behind and asked, "Then, are we still going to Xieyukou?" ”

Wei Yan shook his head: "No, by this time, the enemy will already report before us, don't bother us anymore, and, according to the news from our fine work in Hanzhong, on that road, Cao Zhen is fighting with Deng Zhi's men and horses in front, if we are forced into the mountains by the enemy, there will be no place to run." ”

Wang Wei asked, "So, where are we going next?" ”

Wei Yan tilted his head to the east: "Go back, go back to Luoyukou, fight a tough battle with Zhang Wei and them, drive the enemy away, and go back to Hanzhong together." ”

He glanced at the horses that everyone was riding again, and grinned: "Bring me all these horses back to Hanzhong." ”

They also laughed thoughtfully, and even made a joke about Wei Yan: "General, every time you act, you are worried about grabbing horses, but in the end, you didn't leave us a few, and they were all given to Ma Chao for them." ”

Wei Yan laughed: "That was before, we were all in Hanzhong, and besides, you were all specially used for mountain warfare, and horses were a burden, but it will be different in the future." ”

Everyone asked, "Why is it different?" ”

"If this time, Da Sima successfully occupies Longyou, in the future, we will fight on this Guanzhong Plain, and then we will go to the Central Plains. At that time, it will be the world of cavalry, mountain soldiers, and it will not be of much use. Having said this, Wei Yan also glanced at the sergeants with a little regret.

"Yes, yes! Then we became cavalry again! The crowd was very happy.

"Let's go!" Wei Yan urged everyone to hurry into the mountains.

Guo Huai ran back to Wugong and asked the sergeants guarding the city, it turned out that Wei Yan and his party didn't even reach the city gate, but they just saw the dust they went out of the west of the city, so they chased them directly.

Fortunately, the enemy army did not come.

No, the enemy general just now called himself Wei Yan, if even the enemy's Zhenbei general and Hanzhong governor came here, how could he not lead a large army?

"Really didn't see the enemy's army again?" He asked the doorkeeper again.

The sergeant replied truthfully: "Not really." ”

No, no, Guo Huai was sure that the enemy had a large army into Guanzhong, and immediately asked the hundred cavalry to explore everywhere, to Luoyukou, to Chang'an, to Yixian, to Xieyukou......

He remembered again that the garrison at Luoyukou had reported two days ago that the enemy along the way had begun to march towards Guanzhong again, and that it was close to the Meridian Valley, and if the enemy really had a large army coming in, he might join these enemies and flank the defenders he had stationed there in front and rear.

No, I need to get there and command the battle!

His army reminded: "General, if there is really an enemy entering Guanzhong, then General Zhenxi is in the Bao Slope Road, and he may be flanked by the enemy before and after, and he will not be able to come back." ”

Guo Huai couldn't wait to slap himself, how could he forget such an important matter, and hurriedly ordered to send a fast rider again, rush to Bao Slope, and inform Cao Zhen and ask him to withdraw as soon as possible.

Ah, how many of the enemy have entered the pass? Lakh?

No, there can't be so many, that's for sure, Liu Bei's army is in Xiangyang, and the enemy in Guanzhong has divided several ways, and it is impossible to have another 100,000 troops to drive.

Fifty thousand? It seems that it is still possible.

Alas, forget it, don't think about it too much, it's better to quickly notify the counties, increase vigilance, and hurry up defense.

As long as you hold the county towns and wait for the emperor to send reinforcements from Luoyang, even if there are really 100,000 enemy troops, there is nothing to fear.

He hurriedly sent someone to inform the defenders of Yixian County, Zhang He in Chencang, and Cao Xiu, who had entered Tianshui.

For a while, Guo Huai felt that the nearly 20,000 soldiers under his command could not be deployed.

Zhang Wei led 7,000 soldiers, also day and night, and went straight to the enemy army at Luoyukou.

Guo Huai listened to the report of the defender of Luo Yukou, and sure enough, a large army was rushing towards here, and he had not yet figured out the details of the enemy, for fear of being attacked by the enemy in front and back and annihilating the whole army, so he had to quickly order them to evacuate and withdraw to the vicinity of Wugong and Yixian, so as to protect the county towns from being attacked and captured by the enemy.

At the same time, he must quickly lead the army to Xieyukou to garrison, even if he loses one or two county seats, he can't let Cao Zhen not come back.

Zhang Wei led the army day and night, but it was still a step slower, and when they arrived, the enemy troops in Luoyukou had already retreated in the direction of Wugong County.

He took advantage of the situation and led the army to chase after him for most of the day before returning to Yukou to re-encamp.

Wei Yan ran back, and when he saw Zhang Wei, he shouted: "How is it, how many enemies have been eliminated in Yukou?" ”

Zhang Wei was still strange: "Didn't you ask us for dry food for six or seven days?" So it's all over in two or three days? ”

Wei Yan smiled: "If you don't run, you won't run, and if you run again, you will be surrounded by the enemy." ”

Zhang Wei deliberately choked and said: "Where will you fall into the encirclement of the enemy, you see, the enemies here have been scared away by you before I come." Now, I'm afraid that the enemy troops everywhere are terrified, and where would they think of encircling and suppressing you? ”

"Huh? All gone? Wei Yan was surprised, "So, I still overestimated the enemy's guts, thinking that there would be a fierce battle here." I was afraid that you would suffer, so I came back to help you! ”

Zhang Weixin said it, but he didn't fight with him, but said: "It's okay to run, judging from the scale of the enemy camp, I'm afraid that there are more than 10,000 people stationed here, although the strength of the two sides is not too much, but after all, we are attacking, the enemy is defending, and if we fight, we will also die a lot." ”

Wei Yan was still unwilling: "Isn't there still Wu Yi and them to join?" ”

Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "Forget it, they really came over again, and I don't know if there is any food to eat on the way back." Besides, what's the use of them coming, in a few days, there will be many enemy troops in Chang'an. Don't forget, on the slope, there are tens of thousands of horses and horses of Cao Zhen. ”

Wei Yan is the most pity for this: "It would be great if you could give me tens of thousands of people to defeat the enemy's defenders at Xieyukou, intercept Cao Zhen in the valley, and capture him alive!" ”

"It's already possible! You see that the enemy troops here have withdrawn so quickly, which means that the enemy is now in a panic and does not know the details! Zhang Wei felt that he could see it and accepted it.

Guanzhong is indeed in a mess now.

The defeated army at the mouth of the Meridian Valley was chased and killed for a day, and fled back to Chang'an in embarrassment, only saying that the enemies were countless, I don't know how many, they resisted desperately, and they couldn't resist it, and it was good to be able to escape back with a life.

Zhang He, who was stationed in Chencang, had just sent someone to report to Cao Xiu that the enemy had withdrawn and asked to go to Tianshui for support, but Guo Huai reported that Wei Yan, the governor of Hanzhong, had personally led a large army from the Meridian Valley into Guanzhong, and was attacking Chang'an and Wugong, so he had to immediately send someone to report the bad news to Cao Xiu.

Even far away in the Baoshui Road, Cao Zhen, who had been fighting hard for half a month, was already very close to getting out of the Baoshui Valley, and as soon as he received Guo Huai's report, he hurriedly withdrew his troops.

In order to prevent the enemy from pursuing, he set fire to the plank road along the way while retreating, burning more than 100 miles along the plank road. (To be continued.) )
