The soldiers outside the tent are preparing to retreat, and the generals such as Deng Ding and Kui Wen in the tent are discussing how to keep the fruits of their victory, after all, Jianwei County has been completely captured, Jiangyang County is not far away, and further along, Zhu Ti and Zhu Qi can also be taken by Shun Lì, and finally approach Wuling County in Jingzhou.

Deng Ding, Kui Wen and other generals discussed for more than an hour, and finally decided to leave the 5,000 partial divisions under Deng Ding's command and continue to pursue Zhou Fu's defeated army all the way under the banner of Deng Ding, while the 25,000 main army immediately returned to Chengdu to deal with the Hua'an Army in the direction of Liangzhou.

After obtaining the consent of all the generals, Deng Ding left a detachment of 5,000 men under his command in Chengcheng, Anhan, and then, together with Kui Wen, led the main army back to Chengdu along the road from which it came.

Deng Ding's division, which remained in Anhan City, rested for one day, and continued to force in the direction of Jiangyang County on the second day, while the remnants of the Jingzhou army under Zhou Fuhe retreated again and again, without any intention of stopping to resist.

In fact, the retreating army of Zhou Fusuo still discovered the fact that the main force of the rebels had left, and it was only 5,000 rebels who were chasing them.

But Zhou Fu did not intend to fight with it, because the main force of the Jingzhou army was destroyed, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly hit, and now, the strength of the 4,000 remnants and the 5,000 partial divisions of the rebels who chased over were two evenly matched forces.

Zhou Fu was obviously unwilling to let the remaining 4,000 remnants of his command fight with the rebels, thus ending up in a defeat for both sides, but after the main force of the rebels left. Zhou Fu's retreat was more unhurried, because he found that the pursuing rebels always kept a safe distance of twenty miles from their own army, as long as they stopped and did not leave, the rebels would no longer pursue, but stop to confront themselves, obviously, the rebels also knew that their strength was insufficient, and they were at the same level as the retreating Jingzhou army, so they were not willing to take the initiative to provoke a battle.

In fact. According to the current state of confrontation. Zhou Fu could have relied on a city to stop and make peace with the pursuing rebels, so as to keep a large area of Yizhou land behind him.

However, Zhou Fu felt that he had no mass base in Yizhou, and many people in Shuzhong did not know about the Jingzhou army under his command. Hence a certain hostility. With only 4,000 Jingzhou troops. In the eastern part of Yizhou, which did not have the support of the masses, it was impossible to gain a foothold, and the Jingzhou army fled from Chengdu in a hurry. There was no logistical supply at all, and the soldiers' supplies were forcibly requisitioned from the towns along the way, and this unavoidable act angered the people of Shuzhong even more, thus making it more difficult for the Jingzhou army to gain a foothold in the eastern part of Yizhou.

Zhou Fu's plan was very simple, that is, to lead the only 4,000 Jingzhou troops, return to Jingzhou safely, and join the main force of Huan Wen, and then plan in the long run.

#######

In order to slow down the march of the Hua'an Army and buy time for the timely return of the main army, the rebels deployed 3,000 troops in the direction of Luocheng and 2,000 volts in the direction of Luofengpo.

However, the army of Hua'an did not go to Luocheng, but approached Chengdu from the western road, which was somewhat beyond the expectations of the rebels, but the rebels still learned of the news in a very short time and immediately reported to the direction of Chengdu.

Wang Run, a rebel general who was fully responsible for defending the city, heard that the army of Hua'an had bypassed Ruocheng and approached Chengdu directly from the main road west of Mianzhu, and he was shocked, and hurriedly ordered the 5,000 troops of Luocheng and Luofengpo to urgently return to Chengdu to increase Chengdu's defense, and at the same time, it could also prevent this partial division from being cut off by the Jin army and thus trapped in Luocheng.

After receiving Wang Run's order, the 5,000 partial divisions of Luocheng and Luofengpo immediately pulled out their camps and retreated in the direction of Chengdu, and as soon as the 5,000 rebels withdrew to Chengdu, the main army of Hua'an arrived at a position less than 20 miles northwest of Chengdu and began to set up camp.

The distance between the enemy and us was only twenty miles, and a tense momentum shrouded the sky over Chengdu, making the air feel solidified.

In order to spy on as much information as possible, both sides sent a large number of scouts to carry out meticulous reconnaissance within a radius of twenty miles near Chengdu to grasp the dynamics of their opponents.

According to the information sent back by Zhuge Xiong the day before, the main force of the rebels, Deng Dinghe and his subordinates, will arrive in Chengdu in two or three days.

However, with Zhuge Xiong ambushed in the Valley of the Sheep's Intestines, Hua'an was not too worried about the reinforcements of the rebels, but only sent 5,000 soldiers and horses under Li Yi to the east gate of Chengdu to prevent accidents.

It was a risky move to let Zhuge Xiong face the tens of thousands of rebels alone, but Hua An was willing to take this risk, because he believed that Zhuge Xiong had the strength to solve Deng Ding and Kui Wen, and besides, if the large army was deployed in the Sheep Intestine Valley, it would definitely arouse the vigilance of Deng Ding and Kui Wen, so as to lose the opportunity to suddenly attack and kill the rebel general.

"General, the scout reported that the five thousand rebel soldiers and horses in the direction of Luocheng have completely evacuated Luocheng and returned to Chengdu." A small colonel entered the big tent of the Chinese army and reported loudly.

Hua An smiled and said softly: "Our army has just made a big circle from the west, and the rebels have given way to give way, and the order is to let General Chen Ting, with three thousand men and horses, immediately go to the direction of Chengdu to join the main force." ”

"Yes, General." The little colonel answered, turned around and left the big tent of the Chinese army.

"General, the scouts reported a few days ago that there were only 3,000 rebel soldiers and horses in the city, why were there so many 5,000 when they withdrew?" A subordinate general asked curiously.

Without waiting for Hua'an to answer, Zhang Yu preemptively said: "Luofengpo is a good place to ambush, but I am afraid that these extra two thousand rebels have been hiding near Luofengpo, and the scouts are naturally not easy to detect." ”

"There is indeed an ambush in Luofengpo, fortunately, our army detoured from the west road, otherwise, the loss must be not small." The general said with palpitations.

Hearing this, Li Yi, who had suffered many fiascos in Luofengpo, lowered his head, still looking palpitating.

Hua An looked at Zhang Yu approvingly, paused, and analyzed loudly: "In Chengdu, the rebels have 20,000 troops, which are equivalent to our army, but they know that they are a rabble, so they don't have the courage to fight with our army in the field, so they have to retreat in the city, wanting to delay time with the help of the tall city wall of Chengdu, and wait for the main army in the direction of the county to come back." With that, he put his hands on the map in front of him.

"Big brother, the rebels' plans are very shrewd, so as long as our army breaks the rebels' main reinforcement force, the rebels in the city will not be broken, haha!" Iron Bull laughed as he spoke.

"Yes! General, since the walls of Chengdu are thick and the rebels can't shrink back, then we will break its main reinforcements, and then come back and slowly clean up this group of turtle grandsons in the city. A general of the Northern Expeditionary Army said loudly.

"The main force of the rebels is 30,000 people, and our army has 20,000 troops, if it is a frontal attack, I am afraid that our army will not be able to take too much advantage, and we still have to outwit it." Li Liang opened his mouth to express his opinion.

"The main force of our army and the main force of the rebels are in a field battle, if the rebels in Chengdu go out of the city to reinforce and attack the back of our army, wouldn't it be troublesome, and the siege force must be enough, our army seems to be a little insufficient!" One of the generals became worried.

Hearing this, Hua'an smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, all the generals in the tent were discussing how to fight with the main force of the rebels' reinforcements, and no one even talked about how to attack the city, it is no wonder that Chengdu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, in the case of insufficient preparation for siege heavy weapons, forcibly attacking the city will pay great casualties, which is obviously what any general does not want to see, and in the field, the enemy army has no city as a support, and the superior combat power of the Jin army is attacked, and it is very possible to win, at least in the hearts of the generals, The odds of victory in a field battle are much greater than in a siege battle.

"Generals, the important task of blocking the main force of the rebels to return to aid has been handed over to Zhuge Xiong's Wudang Flying Army, your task is how to break through Chengdu, and you don't have to think about the main force of the rebels returning to Chengdu." Hua An looked at the generals and said.

After all, at this time, there was no siege weapon in the barracks, so that the flesh and blood of the soldiers could attack Chengdu, which was strong and well-defended, there was no chance of victory at all, besides, no general would believe that Zhuge Xiong's 1,000 Wudang Fei Army could block the 30,000 main force of the rebels.

Of course, these generals didn't know that Zhuge Xiong secretly ambushed in the Valley of the Sheep Intestines, preparing to shoot the rebel generals Deng Ding and Kui Wen's brilliant strategy, this kind of top-secret military deployment, Hua An only told the two important strategists around him, Zhang Yu and Xie Siming.

It's not that Hua'an doesn't trust his generals, but just in case, after all, there are so many generals under his command, each general has a number of henchmen, and his henchmen also have henchmen, as long as he opens his mouth and says that Zhuge Xiong is ambushing the sheep intestine valley, it is inevitable that he will not reveal the secret, and once this secret is known by the rebels, then Zhuge Xiong's brilliant plan will be over, and Hua'an's main army will also face the pressure of the rebel army inside and outside the city, and the chance of victory will be greatly reduced, and the shape will turn sharply, which is extremely unfavorable to the Jin army.

"General, there are only 1,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the Zhuge battalion master, how can he stop the 30,000 main forces of the rebels?" A ministry general was the first to raise the question.

"Yes! General, no matter how strong the Wudang Flying Army is, it is impossible to defeat thirty with one enemy! The main force of the rebels has a full 30,000 soldiers and horses! Another general expressed skepticism.

Hua An knew that if he didn't let these generals trust his decision-making, it would be difficult for them to obey his command wholeheartedly, so he opened his mouth and said, "Don't worry, generals, this general has secretly sent 10,000 reinforcements to reinforce the Zhuge camp master."
