Liu Bei can be said to be depressed this time, he commanded 100,000 people to attack Hanzhong, plus Zhang Fei's nearly 20,000 defeated troops in Sanguan, as well as the armies of the Wolf Qiang and Di people, totaling nearly 150,000, but he still did not succeed in occupying Hanzhong. Now the army has besieged Nanzheng for nearly a month, and it will not be long before the grain and grass in the city will be consumed, but I didn't expect Liu Qi to suddenly miraculously smuggle through Yinping, defeat the nearly 20,000 troops of Fu Jian and Ore stationed in Guangwu City, recapture the entire Guanghan vassal state, and further divide the troops to occupy Wudu County.

This is not counting, this Liu Qi actually occupied the Arrow Mountain near Dingjun Mountain with lightning speed, so that the 20,000 Zhao Yun army deployed near Dingjun Mountain to contain Huang Zhong had no danger to defend, in desperation, Zhao Yun had to order a breakthrough, but instead fell into Liu Qi's plan, as a result, Zhao Yun surrendered, and only 100 people left in the 20,000 army turned around, and he was executed by himself for lying about the military situation.

In less than a month, the shape of the entire battlefield took a sharp turn, Liu Bei saw that he was about to take the entire Hanzhong, but he suddenly found that this was just watching flowers in the mirror and fishing for the moon in the water, how could he be depressed in such a mood?

Although there was a strong unwillingness in his heart, Liu Bei had to order the withdrawal of his troops, because he knew that if he hesitated any longer, he would be immediately attacked by Liu Qi and Li Dian. At that time, their losses will be even heavier.

"It's all hateful Liu Qi'er, who was able to think of the trick of smuggling Yinping, which was originally a dead end. Even the nearby villagers can't remember it, I really don't know how Liu Qi'er knew? I knew that I should have ordered Fu Jian and others to garrison Yinping City. There is also Zhao Yun, a shameless traitor, who took me so seriously to him, and appointed him as the right Fufeng, but he lived up to my respect and trust, and shamelessly betrayed. ”

After abandoning the attendants, Liu Bei's face was no longer as kind as usual. Rather, it was full of hideousness and anger.

Zhuge Liang also sighed lightly and paid homage to Liu Bei. Said abruptly: "Originally, Weichen always thought that Zhao Zilong was both wise and brave, and loyal, and he was really a rare pillar of our army, so he was recommended to guard the military mountain." But I didn't expect that it would end like this in the end, ruining the great cause of the lord, Weichen was guilty, and asked the lord to surrender. ”

Liu Bei gently helped Zhuge Liang up, and sighed softly: "The military advisor planned for me to settle the world, and he worked hard and worked hard, what is the crime?" This is all to blame for Liu Qi's cunning and Zhao Yun's shameless apostasy. There is no relationship with the military division. ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he was immediately grateful, and arched his hand: "The lord treats Weichen so kindly. Does Weichen dare to repay wholeheartedly? Don't hide it from the lord, although we were defeated this time, but Weichen has obtained a crossbow in Liu Qi's camp, Weichen has studied and known the structure of this thing, in addition. Wechen is confident that it can be improved. It only takes three years to make this repeater perform better. Weichen will be able to ensure that the new crossbow equipment will be equipped in our army, so that the combat effectiveness of our army will be raised by a big grade, and when the next lord conquers Hanzhong, he will definitely grasp the great increase. ”

"Huh? It's true? Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, held Zhuge Liang's hand and said: "This is great, if the military advisor can research such a magical repeater, I believe it will be able to become a great help to our army, and when the time comes, it will be rampant in the world, Liu Qi'er will wait for our revenge." Hehe, the military division was able to develop a repeating crossbow, which is really a blessing for our army, and even if our army is defeated this time, it is worth it. ”

Liu Bei listened to Zhuge Liang's words, the haze on his face was suddenly swept away, and his spirit couldn't help but lift, and he immediately went out of the account and led the army to slowly evacuate.

Li Dian saw Liu Bei's army evacuate at the head of the city, but he remembered Liu Qi's entrustment, and did not dare to order to chase, after a while, he saw the dust under the city, and looked at it, but it was his own banner, Li Dian was worried that it was Liu Bei's trick, and did not dare to open the city to greet him, knowing that Liu Qi was calling the door under the city, so he led the army to open the city gate and greet him outside the city.

"The last general Li Dian saw the lord, and now that Liu Bei has retreated, the last general has finally lived up to the trust of the lord and held Nanzheng City." Li Dian looked at Liu Qi's face full of dust, and couldn't help but admire it in his heart, and hurriedly bowed to the ground and said respectfully.

Liu Qi hurriedly held Li Dian's hand and said with a smile: "Hehe, Mancheng doesn't have to be polite, this time Nanzheng City can be defended, thanks to Mancheng's leadership, when the reward is one million, ten thousand horses, and he is named Guangwuhou." ”

Li Dian hurriedly thanked him, paused slightly, and said to Liu Qi: "Lord, the last general saw Liu Bei's army retreating, in view of the lord's order, he was responsible for defending the city, and he didn't dare to pursue, and now the lord has tens of thousands of male soldiers, why don't you chase it?" ”

But he heard Liu Qi laugh and said: "Man Cheng doesn't know, although Zhuge Liang has no tricks, he is good at governing the army and is cautious, if we pursue, we will definitely not be able to get any benefits, it is better for the army to slowly press in and expel Liu Bei from Hanzhong." ”

Li Dian suddenly realized, and said with admiration: "The lord is wonderful, the last general is not as good, now that Liu Bei's army has retreated, the last general will not dare to miss the lord's important affairs, so he will not invite the lord into the city, let the last general lead an army and chase Liu Bei with the lord." ”

Liu Qi waved his hand and said: "Now that Nanzheng has been saved, countless soldiers and civilians have died in battle, and the hearts of the army and the people are unstable, how many major matters do you need to deal with?" Go back to the city and settle the people quickly, don't be in a hurry to chase Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang is cautious and will not go too quickly, as long as the army follows immediately, we can make Liu Bei's army float, I believe that Liu Bei will never dare to make a branch out of the crowd and rob my walled city. ”

Li Dian knew that Liu Qi was reasonable, so he hurriedly confessed and sent Liu Qi's army away, and then led the army back.

After returning to the city, Li Dian immediately awarded Liu Qi's reward to the soldiers who had made meritorious contributions in battle, especially those soldiers and civilians who bravely sacrificed their lives to defend the city, and introduced measures to reduce taxes and strengthen law and order, so that the floating military and people's hearts in Hanzhong quickly stabilized. Li Dian's behavior later reached Liu Qi's ears, and Liu Qi was also full of praise for Li Dian, and then promoted Li Dian to General Fenwu. Chenggu Pavilion Marquis.

However, it was said that Liu Qi, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong led the army to follow Liu Bei's army from behind, neither taking the initiative to attack, nor being too far away. This made the sergeants under Liu Bei's command couldn't help but feel furious in their hearts, and the morale of the army was a little sluggish.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang governed the army strictly, and the army under Liu Bei did not dare to make any changes, otherwise I am afraid that some of them would have thought of escaping.

"Lord, Liu Qi'er is so hateful, why don't we lead the army back and fight him." Zhang Fei saw Liu Qi's army. was inexplicably irritable in his heart, so he rode to Liu Bei. Said loudly.

But seeing Liu Bei slowly shook his head and said: "Yide, you don't know, now Liu Qi's army is full of morale, plus there are crossbowmen in his army. Liu Qi's own soldiers are equipped with the kind of sword that sharpens iron like clay, and we have no benefit in fighting him, and in the end we can only lead the soldiers to lose their generals and return in vain, and Liu Qi obviously knows that our army is in a strict formation, and does not dare to approach too much, in fact, his intention to do so is obvious, that is, to expel us from Hanzhong, and we are not allowed to capture his city along the way. Liu Qi is so cunning. It's scary. ”

"So what do we do? Do you just obediently retreat? We raised hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer Hanzhong, but we came back with a feather, and it was time for Cao thieves to laugh at it. Zhang Fei couldn't help but feel unconvinced. Shouted.

Liu Bei frowned when he heard this, Zhang Fei's words just now were particularly loud, and many soldiers around him heard it, and they didn't know what kind of adverse impact this would have on the soldiers.

This is Zhang Fei, if the second general dares to say this, Liu Bei will definitely cut him down without hesitation. This is not only due to Zhang Fei's close relationship with him, but also due to the fact that he has continuously lost generals in the past few years. In addition to Zhang Fei, it is difficult to find a general who can be alone.

First of all, Guan Yu, his most trusted and capable general, was killed by Liu Qi and Cao Cao's joint calculation, which made his Wang Tu hegemony only limited to the Guanzhong region from now on, and there was no chance to win the Central Plains.

Later, Ma Chao and Ma Dai brothers defected to Liu Qi, which was another heavy blow to him, in fact, this is not to say how important Ma Chao is to him, but as soon as Ma Chao defected to Liu Qi, he lost the best excuse to deal with Han Sui. In addition, as soon as Ma Chao leaves, after obtaining Xiliang in the future, there will be one less figure who can deter the Qiang people.

And what made him feel the most sad and angry was that Zhao Yun actually chose to surrender Liu Qi, he actually knew Zhao Yun too well, this person was loyal, wise and brave, and most importantly, he had no ambition, he was definitely a trustworthy figure, and the surrender of this person was really a great loss for him.

It is precisely because of the fact that there are no characters to rely on except for Zhang Fei, coupled with years of affection, Liu Bei said kindly: "Yide, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as we can keep the main force, we will definitely be able to kill back in the future, and the next time we come back, we will definitely bring you a surprise." ”

Since Liu Bei said this, Zhang Fei naturally didn't say anything anymore, but after thinking for a while, he still asked, "Lord, where do we retreat to the end?" Praise? Mibuya? Or is it a dispersal pass? ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but be stunned, and glanced at Zhuge Liang inquiringly.

But I heard Zhuge Liang shake his head and said: "Since it is Liu Qi's tens of thousands of troops slowly chasing after him, Baozhong will definitely not be able to hold it, even if it can barely hold it, our food and grass supply will definitely not be able to keep up, so this is definitely not the goal of our retreat, although it is dangerous to disperse the pass, it is also the same difficulty for us, our supply line is too long, and the enemy army is coming from day to night, and it is unwise for us to stay here, so Weichen believes that we should withdraw to Guanzhong and send the generals to defend Chencang, which is the only way from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, And it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the most important thing is that it is convenient to supply, as long as we send a stable general to guard Chencang, even if Liu Qi comes with an army of 100,000 and 200,000, he will be helpless against us. ”

"What? Withdraw Chen Cang? Do you know how many soldiers we have lost in Hanzhong? Do you just give up such a vast land just by your words? Zhuge Liang, you say, what is your intention in persuading the lord to do this? Zhang Fei couldn't help but change color when he heard this, stared at a pair of red eyes, and shouted loudly.
