Jia Xu looked at Cao Cao, who was restless in the hall, and only said: "The prime minister doesn't need to worry, I think it may be that General Xiahou is entangled in war, and he forgot to deliver the war report for a while." ”

Cao Cao looked sideways and snorted coldly: "Although Miaocai is a brave person who doesn't know how to be calm, he is not an impatient and greedy person. There are only two explanations for not delivering the battle report for such a long time, one is that it is surrounded by the enemy and cannot be reported, and the other is that he has already died in battle. Wenhe, what do you think is the best way to deal with Lonely. ”

Jia Xu has always acted cautiously since he surrendered to Cao Cao, and never dared to go against Cao Cao's original intentions, thinking that if it weren't for Cao Cao's opening to ask, he never took the initiative to offer advice, and the words just now were already different from usual, in fact, he had already noticed that the prime minister's age was close to his old age, and the prime minister's recent head was often offended, he had to find an object worthy of his loyalty, in order to preserve his position.

Jia Xu thought for a while, got up and said calmly: "If it is really as the prime minister said, at this moment, the situation in Hanzhong is afraid that it has been eroded, and it is extremely difficult to save the war situation. Second, although the Guanzhong army gathered here, the grain and grass were not even, and it was impossible to confront the Shu army for a long time; Third, the situation in the south is delicate, and the central forbidden army must not be moved lightly, and if it moves, it will be dangerous! ”

"Yes, I think that there are only two ways to take advantage of the current situation, one is to mobilize the sergeants to the place where Hanzhong and Guanzhong are handed over to meet the Hanzhong who are rushing back to join the army; The second made a large-scale attack on the Shu army in Hanzhong, so that the Shu army did not dare to go deep and avoid the expansion of the war. In a word, our army will stop the people's strength, temporarily suspend the army, and move after Xu Tu! ”

Cao Cao frowned, he had been riding horses all his life, and he had never been the only one who rode on other people's heads and took other people's territory. If Liu Bei really allowed Hanzhong to occupy, it would be an extremely unbearable thing for him.

Cao Cao didn't seem to get a satisfactory answer from Jia Xu, and turned to Liu Ye again: "Ziyang thinks what to do with Lone?" ”

Liu Ye frowned, the situation in Hanzhong was so chaotic, it was also difficult for him to understand, although the main general Xiahou Yuan has always been known for his blind bravery, but in the end he acted quite steadily, and he was also assisted by Xu Huang and Zhang Chen, and the Chinese martial arts reported by the previous war report were all read. It should be that it is not lost, but judging from all kinds of information at the moment, something is indeed wrong in Hanzhong.

Liu Ye thought for a moment, and said loudly: "Wenhe is right, Prime Minister." Ye thought that if Hanzhong really lost its place. It's not a bad thing. The land of Hanzhong is actually a dispensable place in Guanzhong, and after the previous seizure of the land of Zhanglu, most of the people of Hanzhong moved to Guanzhong, and what was left in Hanzhong was only some military households, which were reserved for military purposes. The land of Hanzhong is now a land without people, although this place is a barrier in Shuzhong. It is just a buffer place in Guanzhong, and our army can gain it, and it doesn't hurt to lose it. If the prime minister leads the army to seize it, Liu Bei will inevitably fight back. Our army has experienced the battle of Chibi, and the vitality has not yet recovered, and the words of Wenhe are extremely acceptable, and it is advisable to take a break from the army and recuperate. ”

Cao Cao sat down slowly, looked at Cheng Yu again, and said with a smile: "Zhongde is in charge of our army's money and grain, judging from the weight of grain and grass in Guanzhong, is it possible to support a battle with Liu Bei?" ”

Cheng Yu got up, perhaps because Cao Cao treated him very kindly, Cheng Yu could also think of what Cao Cao thought, and gritted his teeth: "Yu can collect from Yecheng and Runan, and it only takes ten months, Yu can gather the money and food to prepare for the war!" It's just that it's only enough for one month, and the prime minister should make a quick decision! ”

Cao Cao closed his eyes, Cheng Yu, who can speculate his thoughts the most on weekdays, is already in a state of support for his expedition to Hanzhong, but in the end he still said what Cao Jun is doing at this moment, the money and grain are not enough for a large-scale expedition for more than a month, and the Central Plains is not as good as Shuzhong occupied by Liu Bei, after a long war, the population is withered, the cultivated land is wasted, and the war potential is still being tapped.

Shaking his head helplessly, the afterglow swept to the last seat, Sima Yi, who was napping, Cao Cao said loudly: "Zhongda, you talk about it." ”

Sima Yi was actually pretending to sleep, just to cover up his voice and try to let the prime minister ignore himself, he didn't know that Cao Cao was jealous of himself, but at this moment, when he heard Cao Cao calling himself, he didn't dare to say it untruthfully: "Yi thinks that the most important thing at this moment is not to decide whether to fight with Liu Bei, but to find out to what extent the situation in Hanzhong has reached and whether it can save our army from the rout in Hanzhong." If possible, can you let people lead an army to support Hanzhong in order to minimize the losses! ”

Cao Cao's eyes were cold, and then he nodded slowly: "Send an order to let people inquire about the situation in Hanzhong, and ask General Xiaocai to prepare 10,000 horsemen and be ready to meet the defeated army in Hanzhong at any time." ”

"Whoa!" At the moment, there is a way to answer.

In Zhengcheng in the south of Hanzhong, Huo Yi's scout camp was all spread out by Huo Yi, and he went around to listen to the movements of Cao's army. He sat firmly in Nanzheng City, but in fact, he didn't want to die here, after all, it was his goal to be able to hit the Cao army in Hanzhong as much as possible and annihilate the living force of the Cao army.

Liu Bei led nearly 30,000 elite men and horses, following the trail of Zhang He's retreat, following all the way. Zhang He and Xu Huang in the valley were extremely worried, it was difficult to move in the valley, and the food was not enough to support too much time, if it was for the Shu army to catch up, there was a great possibility that all the men and horses would die here.

Xiahou Yuan of Dingjun Mountain was extremely brave, although Huang Zhong was also the choice of the moment, but he only had a draw with that Xiahou Yuan, and what made everyone even more embarrassed was that Xiahou Yuan's thousands of cavalry troops were actually led by Xiahou Yuan with nearly 3,000 cavalry to break through the encirclement, kill out of Dingjun Mountain, and go straight to the north of Chuyang.

At this moment, the situation in Hanzhong is extremely complicated, the various groups of men and horses are staggered, the Cao Jun soldiers from all over the country control the county seats, Zhang He and Xu Huang's men and horses retreated north to the northern section of Keigu, close to the Baoshui area, because they were afraid that the rapid retreat would lead to a rout, and the speed was extremely slow; And Liu Bei's Chinese army and rear soldiers and horses tightly bit the military horses of Zhang and Xu.

Huo Yi's 5,000 mountain soldiers guarded Nanzheng, a cavalry of Xiahou Yuan was annihilated in Dingjun Mountain, and the remaining one was led by Xiahou Yuan through the valley, and was about to chase the tail of the middle army and the rear army of the Shu army.

It can be said that Cao Jun has been completely defeated in Hanzhong. The difference is only that the Cao army can escape a few people, and the Shu army can fully occupy the entire Hanzhong in a long time.

Huo Yi couldn't help it anymore, Nanzheng's peaceful days, coupled with the situation of the various armies in Hanzhong transmitted back by the scouts, made him feel extremely itchy, and he was extremely eager to kill Nanzheng City and fight again with the world's famous generals.
