Although Xin Xianying is extremely intelligent, her martial arts are really not very good, she appeared as a civilian in the army, and it is not easy to cross the Meridian Valley this time, how can she avoid a blow from Liu Xiongming who is angry?

So when Liu Xiongming slashed at him, the whole person was already scared stupid. ⊙ Topline Novel,

But at this moment, I only heard a sound of breaking the air, and then saw a feather arrow slamming over, knocking Liu Xiongming's single knife directly to the ground, whether it was strength or timing, there was absolutely no mistake or omission.

Liu Xiongming didn't expect that among these women, there would be someone with such outstanding archery skills, so he couldn't help but look in the direction where the feather arrow came from, and saw a heroic woman holding a hard bow and looking at him coldly.

That woman is the commander of the women's army, Lu Lingqi.

"This woman has so much strength, it seems that there are even masters here."

Liu Xiongming was shocked, and suddenly heard a coquettish sound, and then saw a woman in a red skirt slashing at him with a single knife in her hand.

The woman's movements were very fast, but in a moment of lightning, a single knife came to Liu Xiongming, which surprised him and quickly dodged.

But he didn't see how the woman changed her movements, Liu Xiongming felt a pain in his left arm, and when he opened his eyes, one arm had been cut off with a single knife.

"Huh? You are ......" Before Liu Xiongming finished speaking, he saw that one of his heads had already flown into the air, and then he heard the woman say slowly: "This girl is Sun Shangxiang, the general of the women's army under the command of Duke Chu, you can rest in peace." ”

In fact, Liu Xiongming can really rest in peace, he is now being attacked by two female generals with superb martial arts under Liu Qi at the same time, it is really a rare opportunity in the world, this opportunity is not to say that it is the last, it is definitely unprecedented.

After killing Liu Xiongming. Lu Lingqi ordered the soldiers to clear the barricades, greeted the male soldiers behind, and then smiled at one of the generals: "Fortunately, General Wen beat the drum in time, otherwise, we really don't know when to start?" Even if you knew, you wouldn't have been able to move so neatly. ”

It turned out that the general was Wenpin. He is the true commander of this 10,000-strong army.

I saw Wen Ping and said with a smile: "This is also thanks to Xin Senjun's ability to deceive the trust of the enemy, we have such an opportunity, Xin Senjun, Captain Guo, and Bu Zhushu are all literati, but they can trek hundreds of miles of mountain roads, which is really admired by Wen, and General Lu and General Sun can snipe the enemy general in time and save Xin Senjun's life, and the martial arts are so high, even Wen is ashamed of himself." ”

Wen Ping's sentence praised almost all the high-level leaders in the women's army except for Zhu Rong. Lu Lingqi, Sun Shangxiang, Xin Xianying, Guo Huan, step trainers and other women were all humble, but Zhu Rong, the only one who was not praised, was not a little unhappy, because Zhu Rong's husband Meng Huo and Wen Ping were friends in the army.

After a few polite words, Wen Ping ordered the male soldiers under his command to change into the armor of the Qin army, under the banner of Liu Xiongming, and found a sergeant from the army who looked somewhat similar to Liu Xiongming, and asked him to pretend to be Liu Xiongming, and then "escorted" the female soldiers who pretended to be ordinary people and the remaining male soldiers. came to Liu Xiongming's camp.

There were only more than 200 soldiers guarding the camp, and they saw the army of Wen Ping coming. thought that Liu Xiongming led the army back to the camp, and immediately opened the camp to let them in, but naturally, this army of 10,000 people occupied Liu Xiongming's camp without much effort and obtained the materials in the camp.

Although these materials are not abundant, they are undoubtedly a relief in the snow. Because the 10,000-strong team of the Economic Support was originally lightly armed and simple, and the food they brought was not abundant, after these ten days of consumption, they were basically in a state of cut-off, but now Liu Xiongming's army has thousands of grains. It can temporarily solve the problem of food and clothing, but those armor and staff can also solve their urgent need to not carry armor, at least it is much better than wearing cloth armor to battle, right?

After occupying the camp, they did not delay for too long, so they left the lieutenant general of Wen Ping to lead 2,000 male soldiers to guard the camp, and the remaining more than 7,000 people rushed to Duling City 30 miles away overnight, under the banner of Liu Xiongming, falsely claiming that they were ordered to move the people on the front line, and deceived the city gate, and then those "people" took out their weapons, disarmed the defenders, and occupied Duling City lightly.

It was only at this time that Wen Ping publicly unfurled the banner of the Chu army and announced the news that he had occupied Duling City.

As analyzed when reporting to Liu Bei the news of Wenpin's occupation of Duling City, the loss of Duling City has since put Liu Bei in a very passive situation, first of all, Chang'an has been greatly threatened, from Duling to Chang'an is less than forty miles, and there are only three or four thousand defenders in Chang'an City, if it is a rapid march, only one hour can arrive, although Chang'an City is strong and deep, and Zhang Fei is holding on, it is said that there should be no problem in the short term, but once the war burns here, it will definitely cause the unease of the front-line sergeants. In this way, even if the Wenpin army did not launch any siege action, it would make Liu Bei's army in Wuzhangyuan have no intention of confronting Liu Qi at all, so no matter what, it has become inevitable for Liu Bei to lead the army to withdraw to Chang'an.

Secondly, this makes Lantian Pass unsafe to defend from now on, because it is only thirty or forty miles from Duling to Lantian, once this army attacks Lantian, then Lantian will fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the belly, and it is absolutely impossible to hold, the same reason, because Lantian has been cut off from Chang'an, even if Wen Ping does not attack, it will definitely lead the Lantian defenders to lose their hearts, at the very least, the allies sent by Cao Cao will definitely not do things and see destruction, with their usual style, this time they will definitely be the first to escape, This makes the morale of the military even more turbulent.

It is precisely because of these two factors that Liu Bei, who is far away in Wuzhang Plain, or Guan Xing, who is close to Lantian Pass, all chose to withdraw without exception.

Liu Bei's army divided 10,000 to hold Chiyang, and the rest gave up the defense line of more than 300 miles and went straight to Chang'an to hold on, although Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were very unwilling to do this, but they had no choice, after all, at this time Wenpin had occupied Duling, and then there will definitely be a steady stream of reinforcements from Hanzhong, and as long as Duling's sergeants are doubled, it is estimated that Chang'an City will not be able to hold it.

Du Ling's loss was undoubtedly a stab in Liu Bei's chest, a passive move, which made Liu Bei's defense have a fatal flaw since then, and the result of this flaw can only be that Liu Bei will lose his foundation because of this.

"What are we going to do now? Kong Ming, what can you do to retreat from the enemy? Liu Bei was restless in his heart, although he was running wildly in a car, he still asked Zhuge Liang worriedly.

Zhuge Liang frowned and was silent, he couldn't imagine how Liu Xiongming, who had always been cautious, was successfully attacked by the enemy? And the current situation, for them is really a very unfavorable situation, because as his army continues to retreat, Liu Qi's army is also following, just a few days of work, Yixian, Wugong and other places are all looking forward to the wind, the entire right Fufeng is only left in Huaili, and Ma Chao and Huang Zhong's nearly 70,000 troops also came to Chiyang City along Jingshui, and are attacking Chiyang day and night, although the Chiyang defenders are heroic, but the city wall is damaged and Yan zhòng, it is estimated that it will not be able to support it for a few days.

And as Guan Xing of Lantian led his army back to Chang'an, Zhou Yu's army of 50,000 also came to Duling, joined Wenpin, and was ready to attack Chang'an at any time.

Now, Chang'an is facing the siege of nearly 200,000 horses from the three-way army, and even if Zhuge Liang has the power to return to heaven, he is now helpless, so Zhuge Liang can only remain silent.

At this moment, I saw Zhong Xuan riding a horse, came to Liu Bei's car and said: "Duke Qin, the lower officials have a strategy to retreat from the enemy, but it is a matter of confidentiality, please discuss it with Duke Qin alone." ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned when he heard this, and saw that Zhong Xuan was actually discussing the strategy of retreating from the enemy behind his back, and after a little silence, he thought of what Zhong Xuan's so-called strategy of retreating from the enemy was, and wanted to persuade him, but when he saw Liu Bei's expectant look, he only sighed secretly in his heart, and then bowed and retreated.

"Military advisor ......" Liu Bei subconsciously wanted Zhuge Liang to leave a discussion, but seeing Zhuge Liang's resolute farewell and leaving, he understood what Zhong Xuan was referring to, hesitated, and still didn't say it.

When Zhong Xuan walked into the carriage, Liu Bei asked with anticipation: "Yuan Chang, I don't know what you have to plan to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Hearing Zhong Xuan, he said slowly: "The lord thinks that under the attack of Liu Qi's nearly 100,000 troops, can he keep Chang'an?" ”

Liu Bei frowned when he heard this, and said secretly: "Aren't you talking nonsense? If I am sure that I will keep Chang'an, will I still discuss with you the strategy of retreating from the enemy? ”

But he still shook his head and said softly: "No, now that the enemy army is coming to the city, and our army has no fighting spirit, even if we barely defend Chang'an, how long can we hold out?" ”

Zhong Xuan ignored Liu Bei's expression and sighed softly: "In this case, Weichen has a plan, which can make the lord keep the foundation of Guanzhong, and even if it is not good, he can keep the current territory, but I don't know if the lord is willing to let go of his body?" ”

"Huh? What do you mean? Liu Bei couldn't help but think thoughtfully, and then asked slowly.

"The lord can declare the land of Guanzhong to be a vassal of the Duke of Chu, and from then on it is a vassal of the domain, just to keep the current territory, it is expected that his mind is in the same line as the lord of the Han family, and he will inevitably nod his head and agree, from then on, the lord will be like Chen Deng of Guangling, Pei Qian of Jiaozhou, although he is still a vassal of Liu Qi in name, but in fact he is in charge of one side, as long as the strength is restored in the future, the lord can connect with the Duke of Cao, restore the old land, and redraw three points, isn't it wonderful?"

"But will Liu Qi agree?" Liu Bei couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked with a wry smile.

"The lord and the Duke of Chu have no deep hatred, and there is more clan friendship, now that the lord is willing to surrender, Liu Qi has obtained the land of Sanqin with a snap of his fingers, how can he not agree? The minister thought about it for many days, and always felt that Liu Qi really had no reason to refuse. (To be continued......)
