In March, the Chu army and Liu Beijun inside and outside Wuguan had been facing each other for more than a month.

Among them, Li Sheng and Liu Xian of the Chu army were not ordered to enter Guanzhong, so they naturally did not send troops at will, but carefully checked the enemy situation outside the city every day and strictly guarded them.

However, Chen Zhi outside the city, the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Fa Zheng and the others have never stopped at all.

At first, the 5,000 soldiers and horses tried to attack Wuguan, but they did not benefit from it, and then retreated for several miles, spying on the [Drawbridge Ridge Trail] day and night, wanting to raid Wuguan from this path;

But that night, they were raided by Li Sheng's cavalry, although neither side had much Sun, but after this battle, both sides were basically clear about each other's strength, and in the future, I am afraid that both sides will have scruples and dare not act easily...

In the rest of the month, Chen Zhi and Fa Zheng continued to feint to attack Wuguan, lure the enemy out of the city, and divide troops to raid Drawbridge Ridge, it can be said that every method has been exhausted, but it still failed to pose much threat to Li Sheng and others.

It's just because Li Sheng has long been clear about Chen Zhijun's details, and he is even more clear about what they can do and what they want to do

……

"Strategist, now that more than a month has passed, our army still hasn't been able to gain anything, and I'm really ashamed of my lord..."

"General Chen, don't be discouraged, although our army has not gained anything these days, but we also have a general understanding of the Wuguan guard Li Sheng, as well as the soldiers and horses of Wuguan!" Fa Zheng shook his head and comforted: "The most important thing is that judging from Li Sheng's method of defending the city this time and the strength of Wuguan, this Liu Xiu must not have planned to attack Guanzhong in one go!" ”

"What does the military advisor mean that Liu Xiu has no intention of attacking Chang'an on a large scale right now?!" Chen Zhi listened. Immediately overjoyed.

"In my opinion, it should be so." Fa Zheng nodded, "If this news is true, then it is great news for the lord!" ”

"But it's good news," Chen Zhi muttered.

"With the current situation, I need to go back to Chang'an..."Fa Zheng thought for a moment. Said.

"The military advisor is leaving?!" Chen Zhi was shocked, "Then I...?" ”

"General, you can go back to the Qingni Pass first, if you want to attack Wuguan this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult..."Fa Zheng said: "I will go back to Chang'an this time, and discuss with the lord and Kong Ming, if you can take advantage of this opportunity, it will be of great benefit to the lord!" ”

"As for the general, after you return to the Qingni Pass. You can send more people, pretending to be business travelers, to Nanyang to inquire and see if there is any relevant news circulating... If necessary, you can buy some news from the clan in Nanyang, and I think these half-hearted clans are very willing to do this business..."

Chen Zhi listened silently and nodded, "Then I'll pull out the camp and return to the army!" ”

Fa Zheng looked at Chen Dao in the distance and kept muttering. "I don't know if peace talks are possible..."

…

And the land of Nanzheng in Hanzhong is also a resurgence of war clouds.

After the fall of the upper class. Zhao Yun's Hanzhong is already enemy on three sides, although there are Yangping Pass, Dingjun Mountain, and Nanzheng at this time, but they will also face 100,000 soldiers and horses in Shuzhong.

Among them, Zhao Yunqin led 15,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Yangping Pass. Against Yu Jin's 60,000 or 70,000 Bashu troops, Dingjun Mountain and Nanzheng also each garrisoned 5,000 soldiers and horses.

In Hanzhong, which was guarded by Zhao Yunzhen, it can be said that Zhuge Liang's strategy was fully implemented, and he hung up the exemption card, but he could not defend it. Even if Yangping Pass is facing a number of generals and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it is still the same

however

"General, let's not face the battle again, I'm afraid that in a few days, the morale of the soldiers guarding the pass will be lower, like this, even if the danger of Yangping Pass is not enough, it will not be able to hold it for too long!" Zhao Yun's lieutenant general was worried, this was the tenth day of Yu Jin's arrival.

In the past ten days, Yu Jin has made people call for battle every day, but he never attacks the city, and the male soldiers besiege the city, but he only besieges it.

"Then Yu Jin's army has not yet attacked the city, and I don't know what the idea is?!" Zhao Yun didn't reply, just asked to himself,

After a while, Xu is remembered something and asked the adjutant general: "Is there any news from Dingjun Mountain and Nanzheng?" ”

"Never"

"What about General Shangyonghuo?"

"It's been a few days since Shang Yong last smiled."

"You immediately send someone to inquire about the situation of the Shangyong war, and as soon as there is a situation, report it immediately!" Zhao Yun ordered: "Also, let Nan Zheng and the Dingjun Mountain guards cheer up and pay attention at all times!" ”

"That Yu Jin is cunning and cunning, since he attacked this Yangping Pass so quickly, but he suddenly dragged on, there must be some conspiracy!"

"And if this conspiracy is not against Yangpingguan, it must be from Nanzheng!" Zhao Yun was suddenly a little worried, their task was to hold on and retreat slowly, since this was the case, then their retreat was particularly important

The north of Nanzheng can pass through the Luogu Trail and the Meridian Valley Trail to reach Chang'an, and Yangping Pass can retreat to Dasanguan

That is to say, the soldiers and horses of Nan Zheng and Dingjun Mountain will each retreat into two small paths, while Zhao Yun himself will slowly push towards the Dasan Pass, which will also be the dangerous passes they must defend

"Whoa!"

While Zhao Yun was worried, Pang Xi, who received the good news from Shangyong, had also led 15,000 soldiers and horses over the mountains and mountains with his friend Deng Zhi to attack Nanzheng!

……

A few days later, Fa Zheng had returned to Chang'an, reported the situation before and after Wuguan, and even expressed his guess...

"What does filial piety mean..."Liu Bei couldn't believe it, "Then the Chu army has no plans to enter the customs right away?!" ”

"Judging from the arrangement and defense of Wuguan's soldiers and horses, maybe this is the case!" Fa Zheng asserts the way.

"What does Kong Ming think?" Liu Bei turned his head and asked Zhuge Liang.

"From Nanyang to Chang'an, Wuguan is a necessary place, since Ji Xu has not stationed heavy troops here, there is indeed only one possibility, and he does not plan to invade Chang'an in the short term!"

"But according to Zilong's letter, Shuzhong's army went north, and 100,000 soldiers and horses attacked Hanzhong, which is true!" Liu Bei wondered.

"Hanzhong is the gateway to Bashu, Liu Xiu really can't let it go under the control of the lord!" Fa Zheng Dao.

"That's true," Zhuge Liang said: "The lord may send someone to Xiangyang to negotiate peace with Ji Xu!" ”

"At this time, how can Liu Xiu agree?" When Liu Bei heard this, he shook his head and said.

"What if you add the whole territory of Hanzhong?!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"Hanzhong is regarded by Liu Xiu as a thing in his pocket, how can he be willing?" Liu Bei still didn't understand.

Fa Zheng also smiled and said: "The lord can let people go to Xiangyang, if he really doesn't want to enter the pass, then this peace negotiation can be done..."

"Oh?!" Liu Bei was surprised, "Then I don't know who can do this...?" ”

"He" (To be continued.) )
