In the eighth year of the Warring States Period, on February 2, the dragon raised its head, spring came and winter went, the ice and snow melted, and everything rejuvenated.

Qishan, located between Jieting and Wudu.

In history, Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan and went north to Cao Wei, saying that this Qishan, the mountains of Qishan are undulating, but the mountain road is spacious and passable, and you can directly enter the street pavilion from the Wudu side, and you can also enter the Wudu from the street pavilion.

Since Sun Quan received Lu Bu and Zhao Yun from Chen Cangcheng, he didn't stay for a moment, and immediately chose to retreat from the Street Pavilion.

As he expected, the Wei army in Hanyang, Liangzhou, did not send troops to intercept the Jieting, so their march became extremely smooth, and in two days, he had withdrawn from the Jieting and entered Qishan.

Entering Qishan, it means that he has left the last pursuit of the Wei army behind.

Tens of thousands of his remnants were stationed on Qishan Mountain, facing the combined forces of Zhang Rendianman and Ma Dai in the city of Wudu, which was the last pass they wanted to go south.

Zhang Ren's remnants of the Shu army, Ma Dai's remnants of Xiliang, plus the soldiers and horses of the Wei army, add up to at least 30,000 troops in Xiabiancheng.

This is a force that should not be underestimated, if they choose to send troops to intercept it to the death, with the current casualties of the Wu army, if it starts, it will also be a bloody battle.

Provided, of course, that they are willing to risk the annihilation of their entire army.

In the southeast and southeast directions of Wudu County, Gao Shun and Lü Meng, the two major Wu generals, have already led the troops to approach, once they send troops to argue, they will not face Sun Quan's troops, but the Wu army can not be flanked before and after, and the final result is not only unstoppable, but even Wudu can not be defended.

Today, the weather is fine, and tens of thousands of remnants of the Wu army are camped on Qishan, and there are too many wounded soldiers. All Sun Quan chose to rest for a day, which can be regarded as waiting for the reaction in Xia Quan City.

Although Sun Quan was confident that with Zhang Ren's reason, they would not kill themselves.

But as long as they did not walk through the city of Lower Debate for a day and did not return to their own territory, he could not be sure. Zhang Ren didn't attack, although he didn't want to fight, it didn't mean that Dian Man didn't dare to fight hard, so Sun Quan thought it was better to be careful.

"Your Majesty, or we will take the initiative to attack and defend the game!"

In the temporary main camp, all the generals gathered to discuss the military situation, and Lu Bu and Zhao Yun stood up and asked for battle.

"There's no hurry. The injuries on your two bodies are not light now, and the soldiers under your command are also suffering heavy casualties, it is not appropriate to fight again, take care of them first, Lei Ding, you personally lead 10,000 troops, go and try the reaction of the city, I only need one way. If I can't fight, I don't want to fight again! ”

Sun Quan was not in a hurry at this time. After he walked out of Guanzhong, no one intercepted him, even if Zhang Ren finally sent troops to argue, in the face of the Wu army's front and back attacks, he couldn't stop his troops from retreating south.

"No!"

Lei nodded his head and asked, "Your Majesty." What if they don't want to give way? ”

"If you don't want to, that's better, I'm angry now, I don't know how to vent!" Sun Quan sneered: "As long as they dare to respond to your provocation, then hit hard!" ”

He just didn't want to fight this battle. Because of the Wu army's first battle in the Northern Expedition, there were too many casualties, but this does not mean that he is afraid, and he is not afraid to fight.

"Yes!"

The leader of Lei Ding took the order and left.

"Your Majesty, news has just come from Baima Pass, General Gao Shun has led the northern army to press on Wudu, as long as His Majesty's order arrives, he will attack the city at any time!"

A general said.

The white horse is locked in the south of Xiabi City, the north of Bashu, the soldiers and horses are pressed here, which is equivalent to suppressing the passage from the north to the south, and now Gao Shun is so flamboyant as telling Zhang Ren, I am here, if you don't give way, I will fight.

"Let him wait!"

Sun Quan didn't want to fight again, taking Wudu at this time didn't mean much to him, and when he fought, he didn't know if the Wei army would die in the future, he didn't want to take risks.

Now what he wants is for Zhang Ren'an to keep to himself and get out of the way.

"No!"

"Pass on the military order, let all the soldiers recuperate for a day, recuperate, and then go south to Baima Pass!"

Sun Quan's eyes swept over the generals and said loudly.

"No!" The generals commanded.

After Sun Quan finished discussing the military situation, he strode out of the main camp, and then walked along the path on the left side of the camp into a camp for wounded soldiers.

"What about Sun Bofu?"

Sun Quan glanced around at the situation of the wounded soldiers' camp, and there was no trace of the wounded soldiers he cared about the most.

"General Sun said he was going out to breathe!" The military doctor hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"How's the wound on his body?" Sun Quan asked.

"General Sun's health is good, and his body has begun to recover, but after all, a broken arm has injured the origin of the body, and his qi and blood are definitely insufficient, and he is a little ......"

"Bad mood, right?"

Sun Quan added the latter sentence, and couldn't help sighing, for Sun Bofu, a strong man who aspires to become a peerless overlord, he lost an arm, and it would be better to die on the battlefield directly than to hit him.

"Your Majesty is wise, he has been a little silent these days, and he is obviously depressed, and he resists medicine, which is really not conducive to the recovery of his injury, and please enlighten Your Majesty." The military doctor said in a deep voice.

"I know!"

Sun Quan left the wounded barracks, walked around the barracks, and finally saw Sun Ce standing on a hill with an obviously lonely expression.

The high-spirited overlord of Soochow in the past is now standing with one arm, and the whole person looks a little decadent and lonely.

"Alone, sulking?"

Sun Quan walked up, stood side by side on Sun Ce's left, and couldn't help but look at his right arm: "Your injury is not good, don't run around, how is your recovery today?" ”

"I can't die yet!"

Sun Ce didn't look back, his eyes were still looking into the distance, but his expression was a little lonely, he didn't want to look at his empty left arm sleeve, which made him unusually worried.

"Big brother, in fact, do you have a little resentment against me, this battle is not my independent dictatorship, I have to fight hard, maybe the Overlord Iron Cavalry will not be wiped out, and you will not end up like this!"

Sun Quan's amber eyes were a little gloomy, and he said suddenly.

The gains and losses of the Northern Expedition this time, he really didn't want to measure, in a strategic sense, it was undeniable, it was a big breakthrough, and it hit the capital of Cao Wei. For the Great Wu Dynasty, even if it was worth paying 100,000 casualties.

After all, it was the capital of Cao Wei, and in the future battle between the two dynasties, the Wei army had already lost an advantage in momentum.

However, in fact, the Wu army was the defeated side in this battle. did not take Cao Cao, failed to end Cao Wei, the strategic purpose had failed, and he suffered heavy casualties, Gan Ning and Sun Ce, one dead and one wounded, and the Great Wu military suffered an unprecedented heavy setback.

"Resentment?"

When Sun Ce heard this, he smiled self-deprecatingly and turned his head. glanced at Sun Ce: "For you Sun Zhongmou, I have always complained a lot, but it does not include this arm, nor does it include those overlord iron horsemen who died on the battlefield, Wu Wei always has to fight, horse leather shroud, that is the fate of our battlefield soldiers, you have done nothing wrong." Why should I complain! ”

Sun Quan did nothing wrong with his strategic purpose. and grasping the fighter plane are the best, in fact, they completed the goal set before the war, took Luoyang City, but they failed to take Cao Cao.

If there must be a mistake, the mistake is that this battle was not completely won.

But the two armies clashed. On the battlefield, no one is absolute, success or failure will be fateful, and the defeat of the Wu army cannot blame anyone.

"I've always thought I didn't do anything wrong!"

Sun Quan carried it with both hands. Looking into the distance, he said faintly: "But when I received Gan Ning's death, I saw you being carried back dying, but my confidence was a little shaken, a success of ten thousand bones withered, my Sun Zhongmou's thought is more than ten thousand bones dry, I always feel that it is my arrogance, it is my impatience, so I personally sent you to Huangquan Road!" ”

He offset the printing step by step, without the whimsical capture of the thief and the capture of the head, maybe the Wu army would not have suffered such tragic casualties.

"Such a depressed voice, this doesn't look like you Sun Zhongmou?" Sun Ce frowned and said coldly.

"Then what is Sun Zhongmou in your heart?"

Sun Quan asked rhetorically.

"Sun Zhongmou in my heart will always be high-spirited, once you decide something, there is no right or wrong, only persistence, do it, you can bear it, and never regret it!"

Sun Ce said: "It's like you didn't kill me on the Xuanwu Sect back then, and you have never regretted it all these years!" ”

"Huh!"

Sun Quan smiled: "You have lifted me up a little, I am not as strong as you believe, although I have a strong heart, but there are some things I can't bear!" ”

"Back in Xuanwumen, you once said a sentence, my Sun Bofu's character is to win, but can't afford to lose, and you, Sun Zhongmou, can afford to take it, but can let it go, so you can win me!"

Sun Ce sneered and said, "Today, it's just a defeat, can't you afford to lose?" ”

"I was bragging about it, no!"

Sun Quan pursed his lips, a little annoyed and angry.

"You have no jokes!"

"Get out, Jun is out, can we still have a good chat?"

"Okay, don't talk about Junchen, then I'm your brother, you're a little polite, it's really a shame on my Sun family's tutor!"

"I'm the emperor, shouldn't you flatter me well?"

"No one is like you, and now you plan to use the majesty of the monarch to suppress people with power?"

"I'm going to press you, no!"

"Little bunny, don't force me to beat you, don't say I still have an arm, even if I only have one finger left, it's enough to knock you down!"

“……”

The two brothers stood side by side on the hill, facing the spring breeze, and kept bickering, which could make them come out of the melancholy and become cheerful.

――――――――――――――――

The eighth year of the Warring States period, February 3.

Early morning.

The Wu army went south, walked out of Qishan, and withdrew its troops in the direction of Bashu, but they did not walk quietly, but swaggered around the city wall of Xiabi with gongs and drums.

Completely ignore the Wei army in the city.

The Wei army in the city, the remnants of the Shu army, and the remnants of the Liang army, adding up to tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, are all preparing for battle in armor at this moment, based on the head of the city, and carefully guarding the outside of the city.

But they didn't dare to attack and intercept easily, so they could only watch Wu Jun swagger past and go south.

"Why don't you attack?"

At the head of the city, the chief general of the Wei army looked at the Wu army marching like a long dragon outside the city with bronze bell-like eyes, and shouted angrily: "Are you just watching them walk through the Wudu and go south smoothly, how will you explain to Your Majesty in the future!" ”

"General Dianman, it's not that we don't attack, we can't attack!"

Zhang Ren shook his head, glanced at Ma Dai standing beside him, and then said in a deep voice: "Although the Wu army has suffered a lot of casualties now, its combat effectiveness is still there, and Gao Shun of Baima Pass, and Lu Meng and Jiang Qin in the direction of Hanzhong are waiting not far from Xiabian, waiting for us to come out of Xiabian, once we attack, we can't stop them, and the whole army may be wiped out!" ”

In fact, there is another reason he didn't say.

They are internally unstable, the main generals are not united, and they have no combat effectiveness at all.

If he really fights, he can only command more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands and pawn man's soldiers and horses at most, and Ma Dai may even stick a knife in their back.

Ma Dai was expressionless, standing beside the two of them, watching the Wu army leave outside the city, after Ma Chao surrendered, he was also released by Zhang Ren and reintegrated the soldiers and horses, but his resentment towards Zhang Ren has never disappeared, and his hostility towards the Wei army has not been erased.

Forced by the situation, he surrendered.

But if Zhang Ren dares to send troops to intercept the Wu army today, then he must give him a hard blow in the back, and it is a big deal that he surrenders to Eastern Wu.

Ma Chao gave up the revenge of killing his father, which does not mean that he Ma Dai also gave up the hatred of the Ma family.

One Wei Duan is not enough to appease the hatred in his heart. (To be continued.) )
