"One step too late. Everything is over. Fa Zheng frowned as he looked at the defenders of the city who were busy repairing the city walls.

"If you want to attack Nanzheng, can he hold it?" Zhuge Liang fanned a few fans of cool breeze, Zhuge Liang didn't care too much about Zhang Fei Chen's death, one or two generals did not have much impact on the final decision on the battlefield, the only regret was that a large number of troops were buried. Among them, the elite white soldiers were all wiped out.

Fa Zheng didn't say a word, and he scoffed more at Zhuge Liang's big words.

"I just got the news that Hanzhong is too guarded by Wang Pingjian and Qingye, and all the troops are concentrated in Baocheng. All the people of Hanzhong are moving to Chang'an. Liu Bei staggered from a distance, grief and old age enveloping his body.

"I'll just say, if you want Nan Zheng, it's as easy as a snap." Zhuge Liang said again.

"What is your plan, sir?" Liu Bei was no longer saddened by Zhang Fei's death, and grabbed Zhuge Liang's hand excitedly. This is really bright, Liu Bei is dreaming about how to take Hanzhong as the foundation. Hanzhong is stronger than the place in Jingnan where birds don't, and there are natural dangers everywhere, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"What Wang Ping did was probably to give up Hanzhong, otherwise he would not make a big move and move all the people to Chang'an. When you think about it, it's normal. Lu Bu fought a decisive battle with Cao Cao, although he was victorious, he was defeated, and returned with a tragic victory. Then he was reckless and broke with Jiangdong. Lu Bu's troops were tight, and he couldn't fight on two fronts. Jiangdong is holding back the footsteps of Lu Bu's army, and now is a good time to lay a foundation. As long as Hanzhong is in hand, whether it is Juntun or Mintun, Xichuan can be obtained in a few years. The three-legged momentum is still the same. ”

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking in one breath, Jian Yong said in a low voice: "At least take Nan Zheng first." Otherwise, what is the difference between it and talking on paper? ”

"Hugh is to be rude to the gentleman." Liu Bei reprimanded in a low voice, and pricked up two big ears to listen.

"Nanzheng is now just a drag on Chang'an. And what Wang Ping cared about was not Nanzheng, but hoarded a large number of young and strong people who had not had time to migrate. And if our army continues to attack Nanzheng, it may be burned to the ground. If they turn to attack Baocheng now, the defenders of Nanzheng will definitely come out. Zhuge Liang analyzed.

"Attacking from the front and back, our army may hardly be an enemy." Jian Yong's duck said stiffly, he had to agree with Zhuge Liang's unique vision.

Zhuge Liang pretended not to hear: "If our army destroys the defenders of Nanzheng first, and after beating the morale of our army, will it be easy to attack Baocheng?" ”

"After talking for a long time, in the end it's not about attacking Nanzheng!" Jian Yong said.

"Sir's brilliant plan. With Mr.'s policy, Hanzhong is already in the bag. "Fa Zheng came to his senses. Seeing Liu Bei's puzzled look, Fa Zheng said simply: "Tune the tiger away from the mountain." ”

A few people were talking outside the city, and it wasn't long before they spoke. Liu Bei's army retreated ten miles and set up camp in the village.

Wang Ping became nervous, which was completely different from conjecture. Hurriedly found Huang Yueying to discuss countermeasures.

Midnight.

A scout outside the city came to the city in the dark and called the door: "Hurry up, Lord Taishou, the enemy army has left an empty camp, and its whereabouts are unknown." ”

The news of Liu Bei's sudden departure reached Wang Ping, and Wang Ping, who was reading a book, let go of his hand, and the book slammed to the ground: "What I was most worried about happened." ”

"There is no general in Baocheng, how long can you hold it?" Wang Ping was so anxious that he was sweating profusely: "Hurry up and invite the military advisor to come." ”

Huang Yueying happened to come from outside, bent down to pick up the scroll that Wang Ping had dropped: "The enemy's movements are unknown, we can't mess up first." Now it's time to find a way to do it. ”

"Liu Bei has the wisdom of Zhuge Fazheng and the courage of Zhao Yun. If you attack Baocheng, Hanzhong is also in danger. Wang Ping's voice was already trembling.

Wang Ping is good at everything, diligent, has an excellent memory, and has unique insights. The only thing is the unconfident character that has been cultivated since childhood. Huang Yueying hurriedly said: "On the way here, I have already thought about it. Liu Bei withdrew suddenly, and there were only two options, one was to attack Baocheng. The other is to mislead us into thinking that he is attacking Baocheng, but in fact he is in ambush halfway through. ”

"No matter what you choose, our army must get out of the city. Siege warfare is not yet unfavorable, let alone field warfare? Wang Ping became even more depressed, and suddenly asked Huang Yueying tentatively: "It's better to tell the general in a hurry and come for reinforcements quickly." ”

"If it weren't for the emergency in Xiangyang last year, the general would have transferred all the cavalry out of Wuguan. With a cavalry in hand, why be afraid of Zhao Yun? Wang Shuang interjected, and in his words, he also hoped that Lu Bu could send troops to rescue.

"Far water can't quench your thirst. Even if the general transferred 100,000 iron cavalry, it would be difficult to come to Hanzhong in a short time. Moreover, the battle of Xiangyang is imminent, and I don't know if the general has enough troops in his hands. Let's write a battle report to the general first, and let the general decide for himself. ”

The general still asked for reinforcements, and Huang Yueying was not sure about the final direction of the war, so she nodded in agreement.

"Our army is defeated by Liu Bei's army in the field, if it is ambushed, how can it be good?" Wang Ping asked.

Huang Yueying thought about it for a while, and had a plan that was not a good strategy: "Draw 10,000 defenders, plus 5,000 of our reserves." The only thing we can do now is to lose Nanzheng and protect Baocheng to the death. Wang Shuang and Zhang Xiu, two generals, led the first army first, and the army falsely played the banner of General Wang Ping. General Wang Ping led a rear army and followed from a distance of ten miles. If the front army is ambushed, the rear army cannot be rescued, and an ambush is set up on the spot. The front army retreated, bringing the enemy into an ambush circle. Got it? ”

Although Nanzheng is the county guard of Hanzhong, once it is lost, it also means that the entire Hanzhong will be lost. However, Huang Yueying would rather toss Hanzhong into an empty county than leave a single common man.

Zhang Xiu led the army to set off overnight, just past Wuxiang. The defenders of Wuxiang told them that no army had passed by. This news made Wang Ping of the rear army suspicious again, worried that Nan Zheng in the rear would lose.

Not hearing a large number of enemy troops passing by, Zhang Xiu was relieved to hurry up. In order to speed up the time to reach Baocheng, all the scouts in front of you are withdrawn. Within a few dozen miles of Wuxiang, at least it is safe.

Just left Wuxiang less than three miles, on a hill ahead. Liu Bei pulled out his sword angrily and slowly pointed at the defenseless Zhang Xiu's army under the hill.

"Avenge Yide!"

"Avenge the three generals!"

Suddenly the mountains roared and the tsunami, and Zhang Xiujun was suddenly in chaos.

"Enemy attack!"

As soon as the alarm and the report sounded, Mi Fang and Mi Zhu on the left and Zhao Yun on the right killed twice. The rolling wood and stones on the mountain, like a landslide, first smashed down with a bang, smashing Zhang Xiu's army to death.

"Retreat, retreat!" Zhang Xiu hurriedly shouted.

Wang Shuang led the army to retreat sharply, turned into the woods, and encountered the attacking Zhao Yun troops. Be terribly alarmed:

"It's Zhao Yun!"

"Drive."

Zhao Yun drove the war horse and rushed forward. Wang Shuang did not dare to engage in battle and was in a hurry to retreat. Zhao Yun bent his bow and arrows, and hit the king's double vest.

"The enemy will be dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!" Zhao Yun rode his horse to drive the defeated soldiers.

Liu Bei, who was anxious to collect and surrender troops, had just led the army to chase out a few miles, when two or three cannons rang out, and arrows rained down. Zhang Xiu turned the horse's head and came back:

"Liu Da'er, you have been tricked, why don't you kneel and surrender!"

Zhang Xiu turned around from the front to kill, Wang Ping cut off from the flank, and Liu Bei's scattered army could not resist. Morale is already low, how can you resist it? Liu Bei drew his sword and slashed several enemy soldiers who killed in front of him, loudly boosting morale.

The melee was in full swing, and there was no cavalry in Hanzhong, which was compared with the elite cavalry of Chang'an. The last thing Chang'an lacks is war horses, but the knights don't have much training.

"Liu Bei wants to run!" A sharp-eyed soldier shouted: "Come and a few brothers, it will be a great merit to hack him to death!" ”

"Boom."

The voice of the cavalry was already in their ears, and those who heard the shouting of their companions finally reacted, and they all thought of killing the enemy and making great achievements. A large number of soldiers on horseback poured in, and Liu Bei's morale that had just been raised was in vain. A group of Xichuan soldiers who did not have a strong affiliation threw away their weapons, left Liu Bei and ran away.

The 'cavalry' that Zhang Xiu used to travel rushed over. The soldiers of Xichuan Liu Bei, who had no time to run away, were trampled to death and trampled and injured. They avoided it one after another, let Liu Bei in the center out, and knelt down to ask for surrender.

Whether Zhang Xiu was resisting or surrendering, he led the cavalry to rumble over and trample on it. However, there were too many chaotic troops, and they were blocked, and they saw Liu Bei turning his horse's head in front and wanting to run. Zhang Xiu was out of reach.

"Where is the lord? Zhao Yun is here! ”

Zhao Yun was chasing the defeated soldiers in the distance, and when he heard the shouts here, he knew that Liu Bei was in ambush again, and he was busy coming to the rescue. Seeing that Zhang Xiu was about to catch up with Liu Bei, Zhao Yun shouted.

Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, sat down and the war horse was restless, frowned, and accelerated the pursuit.

In the end, several of Liu Bei's guards dragged Zhang Xiu to death, creating an opportunity for Liu Bei to run for his life.

"Lord, go quickly. I'll break it off! ”

Zhao Yun gently stroked the horse that had just been snatched from the king's hands. Chang'an is really rich, and a little-known young general actually has a horse to ride, so like Liu Bei's side, it would be good for a senior general to have a mount.

With this horse, Zhao Yun believes that his combat power will be even higher.

Seeing Liu Bei leap past Zhao Yun and disappear from behind him, Zhang Xiu couldn't wait any longer, and with a raised long knife, he burst into a roar and drove the horse to charge.

"Drink! Come on! ”

Wang Ping, who was in the distance, was also at this time, bringing a large group of crossbowmen.

Zhao Yun held the bright silver spear obliquely with one hand, pulled the reins with the other, and gently knocked his legs on the horse's belly, and the horse neighed happily, and rushed forward violently.

"Drink! Look at the knives! ”

Wang Ping also killed at this time, swept with one move, and cautiously swung away Zhao Yun's weapon. With the back of the knife, Zhang Xiu, who was still fighting, was stopped: "The two of us joined forces, I am afraid that it is not their opponent." Crossbowmen, shoot! ”

Hundreds of crossbowmen were unmanned, and ten iron arrows were in a line. Zhao Yunge blocked the first one, and the second arrow came again, and for a while, he was overwhelmed and in a hurry. Hurriedly stepped back.

Wang Ping collected his troops and entered the city of Wuxiang to temporarily avoid the edge. The soldiers were counted and the losses were heavy. In this battle, Wang Ping can't say whether he won or lost, I'm afraid it was a lose-lose situation. However, Liu Bei gathered a lot of troops, and his power did not decrease but increased!
