After Fu Yan's matter was disposed of, Jiang Wei then asked Qiu Jian to be escorted to court. According to Jiang Wei's meaning, Qiu Jian has some real talent and practical learning, and has rich experience in leading troops into battle, if he is willing to surrender, it is naturally better, so that the Wei army will inevitably be even more panicked, which is beneficial to the recovery of Hanzhong.

Unexpectedly, although Qiu Jian looked awritable because of his injury, he was extremely backbone, and instead of surrendering, he scolded Jiang Wei and Han Jun. Jiang Wei saw that he had made up his mind to die, and it was expected that it would be difficult to convince him, so in order to fulfill the name of his death, he had no choice but to order him to be beheaded and buried under the Qipan Pass.

After everything was dealt with and Jiang Wei arranged the matter of marching into Hanzhong, the generals returned to their respective camps and did not say anything all night.

Early the next morning, Jiang Weiliu Liao became the main general, Guan Yi was the deputy general, led Zhuge Shang, Chen Lie and the people of the headquarters to guard the Qipan Pass, and then led the army to Hanzhong with Hu Ji, Dong Ju, Zhao Tong, Liao Lin and Gao Xiu. Although Liao Hua and Liao Lin are grandchildren, they have always only talked about military duties and laws in the army, regardless of family affection, Liao Hua is loyal and fruitful, and everything is based on official affairs, so Liao Hua only gave a few words of advice, and watched Liao Lin go out with the army.

Because Fu Yi was guilty, Jiang Wei deliberately asked him to accompany the army. Guan Yi naturally knew Jiang Wei's hard work, Fu Yan's sin was very great, if there was no credit to offset it, the court would definitely not easily forgive him, so Jiang Wei hoped that Fu Wei could seize the opportunity to atone for his sins with merit, and there might be a glimmer of life in the future. As for Guan Yi, although he wanted to ask for orders to follow Jiang Wei to Hanzhong, at the moment, the rest and replenishment of the blood guard was the top priority. Otherwise, even if you go to the battlefield, you will be at the end of the crossbow and will not be able to exert your due combat effectiveness.

After all, the situation has developed to the present, between the elimination of one and the other, success or failure has been decided, with Jiang Wei in charge, Zhonghui has no power to return to the sky, and the recovery of Hanzhong is just around the corner.

After sending Jiang Wei's army away, Guan Yi asked Ehu to send an order to the soldiers of the whole army to seize the time to rest and replenish their strength, so as to prepare for going north to Hanzhong at any time.

During this period, Guan Yi learned from Liao Hua that after Jiang Wei led the troops out of the Sword Pavilion that night, he immediately sent fine scouts in the army to sneak into the vicinity of Zhonghui's camp and closely monitor every move of the Wei army. Later, when the Wei army rose out of camp and the whole army retreated to Hanzhong, Jiang Wei immediately received the news.

Jiang Wei's meaning, Zhong Hui is a good general in the world, although the Wei army was forced to retreat, but in order to prevent the Han army from taking advantage of the situation to cover up, it will inevitably leave elite soldiers in the dangerous places of the mountains and roads. Therefore, although Jiang Wei ordered the Han army to attack and kill the Wei army by different routes, he only asked the Han army to send scouts to make sure that there were no ambushes before they could advance. However, when the Wei army was resting on the road and burying the pot to make food, they beat drums and shouted beside the mountain road, disturbing the Wei army, and when the Wei army sent troops to fight, the Han army died down and retreated into hiding.

This plan really worked, the Wei army at the beginning of the formation can still maintain a strict order, but two days later it can not parry, knowing that the Han army is playing a suspicious strategy, but but it is not sure of the truth, there is a deliberate ignorance of the Han army's disturbance, and for fear that the Han army will really wave the army to attack when it is unprepared, so the morale fell, the army's heart collapsed, panic like a lost dog, the brigade of people and horses crowded with each other, not only did not speed up the speed of retreat, but delayed the trip.

When the Wei army retreated all the way to Mingyue Gorge, the Han army also followed, originally the Wei army thought that the Han army was still the same as before only disturbing and not fighting, but the Han army had no time to burn the plank road before the Wei army suddenly launched a fierce attack under the leadership of Liao Lin and Gao Xiu, the two young generals, the Wei army lacked food, the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and they were defenseless, once the battle was immediately defeated, many soldiers fell off the cliff in the escape, lost their lives in vain, and the Han army only used a wave of attack to seize control of the plank road. At this point, the Han army completely opened up the march route to Qipanling.

After listening to Liao Hua's narration, Guan Yi was amazed. Jiang Wei uses soldiers, the virtual and the real correspond, the gods and ghosts are unpredictable, and he is worthy of being the successor of Zhuge Wuhou. In this pursuit battle, if someone else is changed, although it can also wave the army to Hanzhong, but this is because the Wei army lacks food and grass, and it is the general trend to retreat, otherwise even if it wins, it will inevitably pay a heavy price, and it is impossible to win so easily.

Liao Hua personally experienced this pursuit battle, and quite agreed with Guan Yi's evaluation of Jiang Wei, he followed Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition over the years, and naturally knew that Jiang Weiwen was a genius in the world, and a barrier for the Han Dynasty. I believe that in a few days, Jiang Wei will definitely have good news.

The situation developed as expected. Ten days later, Jiang Wei sent people to Pegasus to send news that although there were still dangerous passes such as the Golden Bull Station on the road leading to Hanzhong, because the Wei army had no food and the army was in a panic, the pioneer Zhang Yi's brigade abandoned the pass as soon as it arrived, and the Han army entered Hanzhong without blood.

Although Zhong Hui was unwilling, the retreat of the Wei army could not be stopped, so he had no choice but to retreat overnight, and retreated to Chang'an in two ways. Zhang Yi and Liu Yin, Jiang Bin, and Wang Han took advantage of the situation to divide the troops into four ways and then cover up, Jiang Wei then sent Fu Ji and Liao Lin, Gao Xiu and the three generals to respond, the Wei army was attacked on all sides, fell into the valley and the Han River and died countless, as if it was a repetition of Cao Xiu being broken by Lu Xun in Shiting.

At the same time, news also came from Yang'an Pass, Wei General Qinggang learned that Zhong Hui had withdrawn, and the main force of the Han army had entered Hanzhong, and then received a scout report, several roads on the Yinjia Mountain Road were on fire, and the drums shook the sky, I don't know how many Han soldiers and horses were killed, and I knew that the general trend had gone, and Yang'an Pass was difficult to support alone, and I did not dare to retreat to Hanzhong, so I abandoned the pass, and led the troops to retreat to Baishui Pass in the starry night, and joined forces with Deng Ai. Guan Suo did not spend a single soldier to successfully recover Yang'an Pass.

When Liao Hua and Guan Yi heard the news, their hearts were filled with joy. Zhong Hui is proud of his high talent, and he is forced to do something that cannot be done, so that he has today's failure, but it is in response to Jiang Wei's prediction back then: there is no way to tackle key problems, there is no scattered valley in the wild, thousands of miles of county grain, and he is naturally tired. On the day of retreat, then all the cities went out together, and fought with the guerrillas, and this technique of killing the enemy was also. Guan Yi completely imagined that Zhong Hui's situation was definitely more tragic than the defeat of Luogu when Cao Shuang attacked Shu.

Another day passed, Guan Yinping also asked people to bring back letters to Guan Yi, and also sent Guan Yi's belongings such as the Dawan Bluemane Horse and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife to Qipanguan.

Guan Yi opened the letter and saw it, and Guan Yinping instructed him in the letter to keep in mind the oath he made in front of the ancestral tablet of the Guan family, support the Han family, and be loyal to the country. No, let him take care of his body and think twice before acting......

Guan Yinping licked the calf deeply, and the words were full of mother-like love, and this kind of family affection made Guan Yi sigh. As the saying goes, if you don't have a family, your mother died not long after her father Guan Xing died of illness, and she passed away early due to depression. Therefore, whether it is Guan Suo or Guan Yinping, they naturally hope that they will live a long and healthy life without any disasters and diseases.

Just as he was sighing in the Shuai Mansion, he saw Liao Hua striding in, and said in a proud voice: "Virtuous nephew, I heard that your mount is a Dawan blue-maned horse given by His Majesty?" Today's warm sun is gorgeous, how about pulling it out for a walk, and let the old man also give it a test ride? ”

"Although this horse is a gift from His Majesty, but in the final analysis, it is just a beast, if the old general likes it, his nephew will give it to you!" Guan Yi smiled slightly, and then asked the blood guard beside him to lead the horse.

Guan Yi and Liao Hua guarded Qipanguan, and when he had nothing to do, he always loved to grind Liao Hua to tell him about the past of his grandfather Yun Changgong, and after a few days, the relationship between the old and the young became closer and closer. Although Guan Yi is a relative of the emperor and has a noble status, in Liao Hua's eyes, he is actually his own son and nephew, so he simply ignored the red tape and directly called him a virtuous nephew.

Guan Yi naturally can't ask for it, and when he talks about it in detail, Liao Hua has followed his grandfather Yun Changgong to fight on the battlefield since he was more than 20 years old, and his father Guan Xing is the same generation, plus he has been in the army for 50 years, and he has been loyal to the Han court all his life, and he has worked hard, calling himself a son and nephew, which is tantamount to promoting Guan Yi. What's more, Liao Hua's official residence is the general of the right chariot cavalry, and he is a veteran figure in the Han military, that is, Jiang Wei and Zhuge Zhan and others, and they have to give three points to him, Guan Yi is a junior and an understanding person, isn't he proud of this?

"Is this true?" Liao Huamei smiled, his white hair was shining in the winter morning light, Guan Yi looked interesting, where is this still a dignified and solemn general, it is clearly an old naughty boy who does not grow up.

"How dare a nephew deceive the old general......"

Liao Hua smiled "hey", approached Guan Yi, and said seriously: "The virtuous nephew is so refreshing, it makes the old man uneasy!" In this way, if you fall in love with a girl from any family, the old man will be the matchmaker for you and keep the matter done! ”

Guan Yi didn't expect Liao Hua to say this. However, he is not the kind of thin-skinned lord who blushes when he encounters trouble, and he only smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "The old general Hugh wants to make fun of his nephew!" Now that the great enemy has just retreated, and Hanzhong is newly determined, it is an eventful time, how dare the nephew abolish the major affairs of the court with personal selfish desires? Besides, the eldest husband has no wife, but he is afraid that his reputation will not stand! ”

Liao Hua was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh: "The virtuous nephew is really a big husband!" ”

While speaking, the blood guard had already led the blue-maned horse, Guan Yi took Liao Hua's hand and walked out of the Shuai Mansion, handed the reins of the horse to Liao Hua, and said with a smile: "Old general, please test ride!" ”

Liao Hua was not polite, his white hair fluttered, he turned over his horse, and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, go, let's race horses today!" ”

Guan Yi saw that Liao Hua was over seventy years old, and he was still arrogant, and his blood surged for a while, turned over and stepped on the war horse ridden by the Hu, and said loudly: "Just follow the old general!" ”

"Let's go!" Liao Hua laughed, shook the reins, and walked slowly first, and the five or six guards with him also got on the horse and followed behind.

"Driving the ......" Guan Yi also laughed loudly, and rode his horse to follow. Ehu hurriedly changed his horses and beckoned the eighteen horsemen to follow. This is a habit he has developed over the years, but whenever Guan Yi goes out, unless there is a special order, he will personally lead eighteen cavalry blood guards to protect Guan Yi to be safe.
