"What?" Han Hao was shocked when he heard this, looking at the panicked soldiers in front of him, Han Hao said angrily: "When did the Sichuan army cross the river?" Why didn't anyone report it? ”

"They came from the upper reaches of the river in a roundabout way, and our brothers were asleep and didn't notice!" The man stammered, and Han Hao was about to get up, but he heard the shouting of killing in his ears getting louder and louder, and it reached his ears in an instant.

"Quick, get my weapons and armor!" Han Hao said hurriedly, while hurriedly preparing for the battle with the help of several personal soldiers. At this moment, the big tent was suddenly pierced and broke in, Han Hao hurriedly picked up the spear in his hand and went to meet the enemy, but saw that the first person was only of medium stature, and a silver spear was like lightning across the sky, and then submerged into his chest.

Accompanied by "Poof! With a sound, Zhang Ren pulled out his silver gun. Seeing Han Hao's corpse fall weakly like a straw in front of him, Zhang Ren snorted coldly and continued to go out to command the battle. In the battle, Lu Xun and Zhang Ren cooperated tacitly, the former made plans to exercise the strategy of exhausting the army, and at the same time led the army to the downstream to intercept the rout of the Cao army, and used it to open the gate of Xianyang, and attacked the capital of Qin in one fell swoop. Under the command of Zhang Ren, the 20,000 Sichuan army completely broke Han Hao's Weishui Dazhai, and at the same time ordered people to use Han Hao's head to recruit Fufeng, Hanxing, and Chencang Zhucheng. In this way, the area west of the Jing River and north of the Wei River, except for the 10,000 defenders who still had Wugong and failed to capture, the rest were all owned by the Han army.

The news quickly spread to Xiahou Yuan, who was in the street pavilion, and when they heard the news, Xiahou Yuan and Cheng Yu were shocked into a cold sweat. Especially the latter, he never expected that Han Hao would stay in Weishui and make such a big stubble.

"General Xiahou, Longxi is no longer a top priority at the moment. The only way to do this is to go back to the army to guard the land east of the Jing River first, and it is the best policy to protect Guanzhong! After Cheng Yu calmed down, he immediately suggested to Xiahou Yuan. Xiahou Yuan naturally knew that what Cheng Yu said was true, but seeing the loss of Longxi and Weibei in a row, such a responsibility was too great. Although this was caused by Cao Ying's misjudgment, as the guard of Guanzhong, he lost Longxi and gave up, and now he loses Weibei, which is really hard to blame.

"Is that all?" Xiahou Yuan said hatefully, Cheng Yu groaned slightly, and finally said with a cold light in his eyes: "Naturally, you can't just forget it, although the land of Weibei is mostly occupied by the Sichuan army, the number of Sichuan troops is limited, and once the general returns to the army, he can only hold the city." In this case, our army still has a lot to do. ”

"Mr. Zhongde, our army's food and grass are only enough to support more than a month, and we can't provide enough food and grass for the army to attack the city!" Lu Kuang frowned when he heard this.

"Naturally, I don't want to attack the city, I just want to clear the wilderness and leave Zhao Botao with an empty Weibei!" Cheng Yu said hatefully. The Lu Kuang brothers were still ignorant, but Xiahou Yuan heard Cheng Yu's words, but he couldn't help but shudder.

As Cheng Yu said, although the Sichuan army has fought Weibei now, the main ones that can be controlled are the cities in Xianyang. Under such circumstances, he could forcibly move Wei Guang and the people of Anding counties to the east of the Jing River as much as possible, leaving Zhao Feng with a deserted Longxi. This move is indeed very unique, even if Zhao Feng occupies this place, there will not be enough people to support his army for a while, so if he does not have a few years to recuperate, he does not want to lead troops eastward. It's just that this trick is also very poisonous, and while the people are displaced, there are naturally countless casualties.

At present, Longxi is blocked by the street pavilion, and it is beyond the reach of the whip. And Wei Guang, Anding, and part of Tianshui have not yet been controlled by Zhao Feng. There were no less than 500,000 people in these three counties, and Xiahou Yuan gave an order, and the 50,000 Cao army immediately retreated, and then cooperated with the county soldiers of some cities in the three counties that had not yet fallen, and forcibly moved all the people, including some local wealthy families, to Feng Yi, Fufeng, Xinping and Beidi counties. Although Lu Xun of Xianyang and Zhang Ren of Chencang had the intention to stop it, they were also powerless because of the lack of troops, so they had to hold on to the city while sending someone to inform Zhao Feng to come and take charge. It's just that this came and went, and it took three or four days. And Zhao Feng was about to go east after converging Zhao Yun, but he was also taken aback when he suddenly heard the news.

"Xiahou Yuan is really ruthless!" Zhao Feng said hatefully. In history, Cao Ying once played this hand in Jingbei, moving hundreds of thousands of people to Yuzhou and Yanzhou, but Liu Bei failed to take advantage of the aftermath of the Battle of Chibi and went north to take Jingzhou in one fell swoop. Now that Xiahou Yuan has played this hand, he can only try to grab time with him and prevent him from moving the people. It's just that in this way, hundreds of thousands of people in Guanzhong have suffered. In the melee, the sword had no eyes, and these people were naturally killed and injured. Presumably, after this toss, the rich Guanzhong will also become a withering livelihood.

"Order the generals, immediately march east to stop Xiahou Yuan and Cheng Yu!" Zhao Feng still gave the order immediately, and now he can only make up for it, and it is good to recover a little more loss. It's just that this time, Zhao Feng definitely can't continue to march towards Guanzhong.

Guanzhong was already a chicken feather at this time, and in comparison, the situation in the Central Plains was still relatively clear. After Guan Yu's 40,000 horses took Xiangcheng, they immediately rushed to Xuchang without stopping.

"Father, this Xiangcheng is the gateway to Xuchang, why is the Cao army so lax in garrison, I'm afraid that there will be fraud in Xuchang this time!" It was Guan Ping, the general of Dangkou, who was questioning. Yesterday, they broke through Xiangcheng, but the defenders only had more than 2,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, and there was not a single general, which was child's play.

"The reason is very simple, that is, Cao Ying deliberately gave Xiangcheng to us!" Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled. The decision of this battle was only known to high-level insiders like them, and Guan Ping still knew nothing about it before. But now, it is clear that there is no need to hide it anymore.

"Father means that Cao Ying deliberately lured us to Xuchang?" Guan Ping is not a fool, as soon as he heard his father's words, he immediately understood what he meant. The question is, in this case, do you still honestly go to Xuchang to die?

"That's right, so I decided to make a plan, deliberately using my deviant division as a bait to go to Xuchang to attract Cao Ying's ambush troops, and then Wen Yuan came to attack again and annihilated Cao's army in one fell swoop! Ping'er, are you afraid? Guan Yu said in a deep voice. The front is the bold words of a proud general, but the last sentence is a loving father's ardent hope for his son.

"The father is not afraid, and the child is naturally not afraid!" Guan Ping is not a timid person, and when he heard his father asking, he was also full of pride. After a pause, Guan Ping also sighed: "In this way, the decisive battle between General Zhao and Xiahou Yuan and the land of Yongliang can only be regarded as a prelude to this great battle?" ”

"It's not necessarily a prelude, but the real war has just begun!" Guan Yu said in a deep voice. At this moment, the scouts came to report that they found Cao Jun's brigade of nearly 100,000 men and horses, including no more than 10,000 cavalry.

"Got it, pass the order, form a formation and prepare to meet the enemy!" Guan Yu ordered casually. Immediately 60,000 men began to operate, with shieldmen on the outermost floor, and then pikemen, crossbowmen, and ordinary soldiers from the outside to the inside. The entire army quickly assembled into a huge Bagua Array, and although there was a passage in the middle to walk, the enemy army would definitely not let you run easily once they entered.

Guan Yu himself did not stay in the center of the formation to give full command, but led his five hundred school swordsmen to patrol around, ready to check and fill in the gaps at any time. A high platform was set up on a chariot in the center, and several sergeants surrounded Xu Shu there, ready to check the military situation at any time after the battle began, so as to improvise.

"It's coming!" On the east side of the Bagua Array, Dong Xi, the general in charge of this area, suddenly said in a low voice. Needless to say, more and more people have already felt the trembling of the earth, and Cao Jun has gradually pressed up.

At the same time, Guan Yu was standing in front of the battle with a horizontal sword. The early morning sun shone on his green parrot robe and golden armor, and with the green dragon glaive knife and the red rabbit horse under his crotch, this Guan Er Ye was really like a god, domineering and exposed.

Cao Ying also gradually saw the formation of the Jingzhou army on the opposite side, and never expected that the Jingzhou army would come up with such a defensive formation to deal with himself, instead of arranging crossbowmen to compete with him, Cao Ying was also a little surprised. If Guan Yu sniped himself in the first row with his crossbowmen as he did according to common sense, then he was confident enough to immediately use the tiger and leopard cavalry to break the enemy's formation. Now that he is in a circle like this, then he feels a bit like a rat dragging Wang Ba, and he has no way to start. However, Cao Ying understood after thinking about it again, Guan Yu wanted to hold himself back, it seemed that as long as he fell into a death battle with him, Zhang Liao in the south would take advantage of the situation. Do you want to call Cao Ren to come together to encircle and annihilate Guan Yu now? Cao Ying was also a little hesitant. These 40,000 troops are really a huge bait, but there is also a huge hook in it. In case he can't swallow Guan Yu in one bite, he will be passive.

"King Wei, let's solve Guan Yu first!" As if seeing Cao Ying's hesitation, Jia Xu admonished softly. Cao Ying nodded heavily, and then waved his hand to signal the army to advance. The 10,000 tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Chun and Cao Xiu were the first to kill, and Li Dian and Le Jin's foot soldiers followed, rushing into the various roads in the Bagua Array like ants, and engaged in a death battle with the Jingzhou army.

"King Wei, why don't you throw all the tiger and leopard riders into battle?" Cao Hong looked at the remaining five thousand tigers and leopards behind him, and asked in some surprise. "You need to guard against Zhang Liao, notify the soldiers guarding the beacon tower, and once you find Zhang Liao's whereabouts, immediately light a fire and notify Zixiao to come to converge!" Cao Ying said in a deep voice. While they were talking, Cao Xiu and Cao Chun had already led their troops into the Bagua Array and engaged the Jingzhou army in a hand-to-hand battle. The Tiger and Par Rider's powerful impact smashed down on the hard iron shield shell of the Bagua Array. What ensued, there was a battle to the death in which all kinds of blades were mixed together.

In order to be able to hold Cao Ying back and let Zhang Liao arrive in time, Guan Yu also invested enough money this time. Including the Shanyue Army when he was in Yuzhou, and the Wudang Fei Army in Jingnan, almost half of the two most elite infantry were transferred by him. Looking at the two armies that gradually began to strangle together, Cao Ying and Xu Shu, who commanded on the high platform, were both frowning, ready to deal with any emergencies at any time.

"Stay in formation, kill me!" Chen Wu roared, and behind him, there were soldiers waiting for him at any time, ready to pick up the shields and spears in the hands of his fallen comrades, and then continue to set up the formation. Once the Bagua Array was quickly crushed by Cao Jun's cavalry, then the infantry who were not superior in numbers would end up with only one death. Chen Wu, who knew this well, took the lead and led the people to go up to block a wall that had just been broken through, and on the other hand, surrounded the dozens of tigers and leopards who broke into the formation and strangled them.

"Whoosh!" An arrow struck from the ground, and the target was the unsuspecting Chen Wu's heart.
