Ye Mo and Dian Wei, on the third day after leaving Luoyang City, gave up the carriage, changed to horses, and galloped towards Tongguan.

And the main reason why two of them would abandon the carriage was because Ye Mo thought about the way to relieve the siege of Tongguan in the carriage for a long time, and then found that his head hurt so much.

In order to relax himself, Ye Mo finally decided to ride a horse.

It's not that Ye Mo doesn't know how to ride a horse, it's just that Ye Mo's mood has cracked before, which has loosened his martial arts realm, and even shown signs of regression in the martial arts realm. In this way, Ye Mo's physical condition also dropped sharply.

If it weren't for the fact that Ye Mo really didn't want to think about Tongguan at this time, he wouldn't have offered to ride over Tongguan on horseback.

But this is also a good thing, in the past few days, Dian Wei has been daydreaming for a few days, but the momentum that Ye Mo has been leaking has stopped.

Although it is said that Ye Mo's current momentum has been dissipated and has not been replenished, fortunately, Ye Mo's state of mind has also begun to slowly recover. With this, even if Tongguan has been lost, it will be a huge gain for Ye Mo.

Of course, if Ye Mo arrives at Tongguan and can only watch Tongguan fall, maybe Ye Mo's mood will completely collapse by then, and it will really be over.

At this moment, Tongguan is once again in a big war.

The day before, Ma Chao thought that he could take Tongguan in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that Tongguan still had hidden power.

Since Ma Chao personally went into battle and attacked Tongguan, Tongguan has almost been broken several times. But that's it, Tongguan still has hidden power that has not been used.

"Big brother. Are we still playing today? Ma Dai looked at Ma Chao, who had been sitting in the tent, his face gloomy and silent, and asked tentatively.

Ma Chao was careless the day before. I was injured by those back hands arranged by Fa Zheng. Although it was not a major injury, it also demoralized his soldiers, and in the end they could only return in vain.

"Ma Dai, go and call the general." It is rare that Ma Chao did not hold on at this time, but began to reconsider the battle of Tongguan that was rashly launched this time.

Ma Dai heard Ma Chao say this. I was almost moved to tears. This brother of his own, finally remembered the military advisor who had the ability to schem and break ghosts. "Big brother, I'll go to the military advisor in a moment."

Before Ma Chao could say anything, Ma Dai hurriedly went to find Guo Jia.

On the Tongguan Pass, the soldiers of the imperial court army were in a tense spirit at this time. As was customary in the previous days. At this time, the Yizhou army has already begun to tackle key problems, but why has there been no movement today?

The unknown is the most frightening. Who knows, what the hell is the Yizhou army fighting at this time?

Seeing the calm outside the gate, Koji Yi also frowned at this time. "Xiaozhi, what do you say those Yizhou troops are fighting in mind, why haven't they come here yet?"

Fa Zheng was also thinking about this matter at this time, but he couldn't think of anything. This is to say that Ma Chao can't afford to lose. had to retreat, Nafa Zheng said that he would not believe anything. If this were the case, the Yizhou Army would have retreated a few days ago.

These days down. There are no less than 30,000 corpses thrown down by the Yizhou army, and if they withdraw without getting anything, the blow to the Yizhou army can be imagined.

"General Xu, what do you think?" Fa Zheng didn't answer Lu Yi's question, but looked at Xu Rong, who was staring at the outside of the pass, and asked.

Xu Rong arrived the day before when the fierce battle at Tongguan was in full swing. However, it injected a strong morale into the defenders of Tongguan. After all, Xu Rong didn't bring many people. But that's reinforcements, too.

When Xu Rong first arrived in Tongguan, he saw a scene that he would remember for the rest of his life.

It's nothing more than five hundred elite spear-throwing warriors. But because he had prepared enough short spears, he had created a slaughter field under this wall.

Countless short spears poured down from the wall like raindrops, and no matter where those Yizhou army guards hid, they couldn't dodge the deadly short spears. Even the giant shield, under the distance of those short spears, was poked out like a thin piece of wood.

If it weren't for the fact that there were not many elite spear-throwing soldiers and couldn't cover the entire wall, maybe those soldiers of the Yizhou Army wouldn't even be able to get close to the city wall.

At this moment, Xu Rong heard Fa Zheng's question, and suddenly woke up from his shock. "Xu only arrived yesterday, but he doesn't understand this."

As soon as Xu Rong finished speaking, the three people on the wall suddenly fell silent. The scout reported that the Yizhou army did not leave, but this meeting has not yet appeared, is it a good thing or a bad thing?

Outside Tongguan, in the camp of the Yizhou Army, Guo Jia followed Ma Dai to Ma Chao's camp.

"My subordinates have seen my lord." After Guo Jia arrived at Ma Chao's camp, he saluted, but stopped talking.

Guo Jia was called over by Ma Chao, naturally knowing the reason why Ma Chao called him. But Guo Jia just doesn't break it, he just wants to see if Ma Chao will pull down his already dispensable face this time.

As a prince, Ma Chao also looks at his face that is so cheap that it is almost worth a few copper plates, in this case, how much more can he achieve?

If it is in public, then forget it, Ma Chao should maintain his majesty as the lord of a state, but at this time, there is no outsider's existence.

Ma Chao looked at Guo Jia and saw that Guo Jia just looked like he was nothing, and he was also a little angry in his heart. These days, if Guo Jia hadn't been able to figure it out, why would he have suffered such a defeat?

However, Ma Chao is also very clear that Guo Jia has persuaded himself not to pay attention to Tongguan before. It's just that Ma Chao was in high spirits at that time, where would he listen to Guo Jia's opinion?

"Tongguan can't be captured for a long time, Meng Qi implored the military advisor to come up with a strange plan." Ma Chao suppressed the trace of anger in his heart, stood up, and saluted Guo Jia before he opened his mouth to say his purpose.

When Guo Jia saw Ma Chao say this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. "Guo Jia dared to ask the lord, even if he won Tongguan, how long does the lord think he can take Hangu Pass?"

When Ma Chao saw Guo Jia asking, he was immediately dumbfounded. The Yizhou army rushed straight to Tongguan, but it could not take Tongguan in a short time, but it was a loss of troops. Attacking from the direction of Tongguan towards Hangu Pass is more difficult than attacking Tongguan.

Guo Jia saw that Ma Chao didn't speak, and continued: "Hangu Pass can't be passed, so it doesn't make much sense to take Tongguan, but it makes the court more wary of the lord." What's more, winter is not suitable for soldiers. If the fight continues, the grain stored before may not be enough until next summer's harvest. ”

Although Yizhou is in the land of Sichuan and Shu, the country of abundance, the grain is not picked up on the ground, and it still needs to be planted. It's just that Yizhou can have two harvests a year due to climate reasons.

After Ma Chao heard Guo Jia's words, he also sat back on the chair behind him. "Then according to the meaning of the military division, what should we do?"

"Take the initiative to withdraw the army, pay tribute, ally Jiangdong, and accumulate strength!" Sixteen words came out of Guo Jia's mouth in turn. Ma Chao and Ma Dai listened, but they couldn't say a word for a long time. In the tent, only the heavier breathing of Ma Chao and Ma Dai could be heard. (To be continued)
