Cao Xiu was defeated and retreated to Linwei, ashamed. Vertex updates are the fastest

The 50,000 central army was sent to rescue Longyou, but within a few days of fighting, more than half of it was lost, and such an ending made him feel that he had no face to go back to see people.

When Zhang received the news, he was scared into a cold sweat, this time it was troublesome, will the enemy take advantage of the situation to pursue, go down the Weishui, and attack himself together with the enemy on Chencang Road?

Defeated Cao Xiu, it was Zhuge Liang who attacked Hanzhong and ambushed the Wu army in Jingzhou, Zhang didn't dare to despise it, this person started a battle, as soon as he seized the opportunity, he would drive straight ahead, day and night, without giving the enemy the slightest respite, if he still followed behind Cao Xiu, maybe he really went directly to Chencang.

He really wanted to go to Linwei to ask Cao Xiu in person, but he didn't dare to leave Chen Cang without permission, so he had to ask Cao Zhen who had just returned from Baosan Road urgently.

Cao Zhen retreated from the sloping pass, his face full of frustration.

Although in the valley, he has always pressed Deng Zhi to fight and advanced for nearly a hundred miles, but now it is all smoke and clouds, and because the enemy occupies the advantageous position, he has suffered heavy casualties and lost more than 6,000 horses.

After coming back in a hurry, he was in a hurry to find Guo Huai, but Guo Huai hurriedly led his army to Luoyukou to block the Shu army the day before he returned.

Wei Yan and Zhang Wei stayed in Luoyukou for seven or eight days, seeing that the grain was almost finished, and seeing that Guo Huai led the army back to kill again, they led the army back to Hanzhong.

And Wu Yi had already turned around and returned to Hanzhong a few days earlier, and only sent someone to tell him that on the way, he left some food for them, telling them not to worry, they could make trouble in Guanzhong for a few more days.

Cao Zhen found Guo Huai and was anxious to ask him about the enemy.

Guo Huai told him that the enemy at Luoyukou had just retreated, and on the Meridian Valley, the enemy seemed to have withdrawn several days ago.

Now everything is fine, the Wei army has re-blockaded the two valley passes.

"What about Chang'an, didn't you say that Chang'an was also attacked by the enemy?" Cao Zhen was very angry, he was a little unwilling to retreat, and he felt that he had retreated too embarrassed, burned the plank road, and cut off a big road for himself to conquer Hanzhong again.

"It was withdrawn a few days ago." Guo Huai looked innocent: "General, there were indeed enemy troops rushing to Chang'an at that time. Although he only chased Chang'an for one day and retreated, it was already chaotic at that time, the situation was urgent, and everything should be stable first. I was worried that Chang'an would be lost, and I was afraid that if the Xieyu Pass was lost, the general would be in danger, so I ran to ask you to withdraw my troops overnight. ”

"Alas! You ......" Cao Zhen thumped his thigh hard, "why can't you strengthen the reconnaissance and defense of the Meridian Valley Pass?" I was panicked by the enemy's sudden breakthrough! ”

Guo Huai was a little unconvinced, are these all arranged by Cao Xiu? And you yourself know that you are in a hurry to enter Luogu to counterattack the enemy, and you also say that you will take advantage of the enemy's lack of troops on the road to fight back to Hanzhong. Zhang and I obviously advised you not to do this, but you rushed into the valley impatiently.

As a result, if you didn't get in, people did, and they blamed me, and if you kill Hanzhong first and then blame me, I'm willing.

Cao Zhen was not reconciled, and only asked, "The enemy just retreated yesterday?" Otherwise, let's chase after it. ”

Forget it, Guo Huai is heart is death, and persuaded: "This enemy is the army led by Wei Yan and Zhang Wei. I heard that in the past, it was these people who quickly took Hanzhong, and later, they sneaked hundreds of miles to Wudu to attack and kill Xiahou Zhengxi, and these were also these people. These people seem to be particularly good at sneaking in the mountains, hiding and being difficult to detect. General Zhengxi, you have been fighting continuously for so long, the soldiers are tired, and if you go deeper into the valley, don't fall into their ambush again. ”

Cao Zhenxin jumped, yes, unlucky, Zhengxi Zhengxi, Xiahou Zhengxi died in their hands, I am also the general of Zhengxi, is it really these people who are the nemesis of our Zhengxi?

Okay, don't pursue, Guo Huai also has some truth in what he said, these soldiers are really tired, besides, they return in vain, and their morale is also very low, so don't use your own shortcomings to deal with the enemy's strengths.

Guo Huai reminded Cao Zhen: "General, what I'm worried about now is that the enemy here has obviously broken through the mouth of the Meridian Valley, but has not further attacked Guanzhong. ”

Cao Zhen was startled again, yes, why did I forget Cao Xiu?

He hurriedly said to Guo Huai: "Now, the enemy has retreated, and you are still here to block the valley mouth, I will hurry to Longyou to reinforce the leading general." ”

As soon as he was about to hit the road, he received the news that Cao Xiu had been defeated by the Shu army and retreated to Linwei.

Yes? Cao Zhen really jumped up this time.

50,000 central army, it hasn't been long yet, why was it so badly beaten by the enemy? How many enemies are there?

I didn't have time to think about it, so I hurried to Linwei, if Cao Xiu and Linwei couldn't hold it, everyone would be blocked from going to Longyou to take revenge in the future.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang's request came, saying that he wanted to lead his troops to Linwei to aid Cao Xiu, and he was afraid that the enemy troops who had withdrawn on the Chencang Road would counterattack with a shot, so he asked General Zhengxi to decide.

Cao Zhen immediately replied, asking him to hurry up and lead a part of his men to rush over, and he immediately sent people to strengthen the defense on Chen Cang's side, and he himself would immediately follow.

Zhang and Cao Zhen led the light army to Linwei on the front and back feet. When Cao Xiu saw Cao Zhen, his face was full of shame, and he lowered his head and apologized: "I, Cao Xiu, am incompetent, and suffered such a fiasco, so that many counties in Longyou were scattered, I am sorry for the trust of General Zhengxi, and I am sorry for the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Huh?" This is beyond Cao Zhen's expectations, doesn't the enemy have to attack the city?

Cao Xiu pulled Cao Zhen and told him how he was unfavorable in the first battle, and was taken by the enemy taking advantage of the chaos, and because he heard that the enemy broke into the pass, there were difficulties in the pass, the rear was worried, and the army's morale was unstable, so that he was defeated again and again, and retreated to this Linwei with heavy losses, temporarily keeping the passage to the right of the pass, preventing the enemy from moving east quickly, and giving Guanzhong a little time to react.

And now the enemy has taken Jicheng, and the officials and people in many counties of Longyou have responded, and now the Shu army has controlled many counties in Longyou.

After talking about the current situation, Cao Xiu just wiped his tears: "It's all my fault for underestimating the enemy's rash advance, and I can't stop the rumors of Guanzhong's danger from circulating in the army in time, so I fell for the enemy's tricks. I'm really sorry for you. ”

Cao Zhen felt that his chest was tightly blocked, it hurt so much, what kind of rash enemy to enter lightly, riots in Guanzhong, these sins, on his head Cao Zhen, are not falling.

If he hadn't forcibly marched into the valley to counter the enemy army, and the Guanzhong was guarded more tightly, he would not have allowed the enemy to break through the mouth of the Meridian Valley and cause a riot.

And if he stays in Guanzhong and responds to Cao Xiu in the back, not only will he not let the rumors mess up Cao Xiu's military heart, but he can also be in charge of the front and back with him, and hold the cities.

He hurriedly squatted down and knelt in front of Cao Xiu: "Don't say it, all of this is my fault, I have caused you trouble." (To be continued.) )
