Cao Cao stationed in Chang'an and convened his generals to discuss the next military action. At this time, Liu Bei was in Yi, Zhang He and Xu Huang retreated to Chencang, Cao Zhen, Lejin and others recovered Pingling, Maoling and other cities, and confronted Zhang Fei behind the palace of the Shu army near Huaili. From Huaili to Chang'an, but more than 100 miles, fast horses to transmit messages, overnight, the lag speed of the message is greatly shortened, Cao Cao can be calmly arranged, trying to break Liu Bei head-on, restore the entire Yongzhou.

Jiang Ji suggested that a garrison should be left to garrison Chang'an and Juxian, and the army should rush across Weishui to the west, meet Cao Zhen and Lejin, first break through Huaili, and then collect martial arts, and then fight with Zhang He and Xu Huang before and after, and the Shu thieves will be destroyed. But he still put forward a different opinion:

"Zitong said, Si is the right reason for using soldiers, but the reason, Liu Bei guards and does not leave. If we prepare to cross Wei to the south, defend the mouth of the sloping valley, and set up a formation against the mountain, then the momentum of our flanking attack will disappear, and the counterattack will be strong, and it will not be easy to overcome. And the thief battle is slightly unfavorable, you can go far away, and the whole division will return to Hanzhong, what can I do? ”

What Jiang Ji said is the right way to use soldiers, but the premise is that Liu Bei will not leave Yixian, and he has to fight to the death with us. However, what if Liu Bei did not defend Yi County, but retreated to the south of Weishui and occupied the mouth of the Baoxian Valley to set up camp? The situation in that place is dangerous, and he can get a steady stream of supplies from Hanzhong through the Baosan Road, so it will be more difficult for us to attack again. If it drags on for a long time, and Guanzhong is already dilapidated, I don't know who will be forced to withdraw the army if the grain cannot be transported first?

Besides, if we retreat first, Liu Bei will take advantage of the situation to disturb Guanzhong again, and if Liu Bei sees that the war is unfavorable, he flashes first, and it will be difficult for us to successfully pursue through the Baoxie Valley. Inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. Now Liu Bei is out of Nanshan once. Counting the losses of its soldiers and horses, it is only a few thousand. On the contrary, tens of thousands of households in Guanzhong were taken back one after another, and when the time came to consolidate the defense of Hanzhong, we would have to be unable to enter it for several years - that was really taking advantage of Liu Bei's intentions.

Therefore, it is better to send an elite army through Juxian County to attack Weinan, and take the lead in seizing the ports of the two roads of Luoluo and Baoxian. When Liu Bei heard that the back road was about to be broken, he would inevitably abandon Yixian, so Weibei could decide without a fight, and then pursue with the main force of Weibei. There was a chance to completely wrap Liu Bei with dumplings. As long as the Shu army can be severely damaged in Yongzhou, then the strength of both sides will also be weakened, and it will be more convenient to take Hanzhong in the future.

"The way of using troops is not to gain or lose in one city or one place, but to kill and injure the enemy at the extreme, so that he cannot defend it, and he does not dare to fight."

Cao Cao nodded and said that what Zifu said was reasonable, so who should he send to fight Weinan? Cao Hong immediately went out to ask for battle, and Cao Cao said that you are too anxious. I'm not very relieved, I look left and right. Finger a hand: "The text is heavy, and you can go." ”

Yu Ban Yu Wenze, the original plan was to follow Cao Hong to Liangzhou, and supervise Yan Xing, Fei Yao and others to attack Wudu, but before he left, Pang Tong went out of the Meridian Valley first, so he followed Cao Cao. So Cao Cao immediately allocated 7,000 soldiers and horses, handed them over to Yu Ban, and ordered him to pass through Juxian County to the west to cut off Liu Bei's back road.

Yu Ban received the order to go, Cao Cao rested in Chang'an City for a day, and then personally led a large army to cross Wei to meet Cao Zhen and others. And at this time, Zong Wei hurried and hurried, and finally sent Fazheng's letter to Liu Bei, Liu Bei read the letter and mourned: "The sky has taken away my Shiyuan, and I will die and be filial to me?" He immediately ordered to abandon Yixian, pull out the village and cross Wei, and strive to run back to Hanzhong in one go, and throw the mess of Guanzhong back to Cao Cao.

But there were Zhang He and Xu Huang in the front, and Cao Cao personally led the army to come, which must be left behind. Originally, the general after the break was Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, but Cao Cao was not as good as Cao Zhen, and Liu Bei was really afraid that Zhang Fei would not be able to stop the enemy, what if there was a mistake? It is necessary to leave a soldier and horse in Yixian County to meet Zhang Fei, and the two armies will move in a staggered manner, and they will have no worries.

Take a look at his subordinates: Guan Yu is still injured; Zhao Yuncai rushed back from Chang'an, and he didn't know if he was overworked, or he was sad that Pang Tong died, and he fell ill; Gan Ning stayed in the town to guard Bazhong...... Who else is fierce enough to partner with Zhang Fei? was hesitating, but a general came out to ask for an order: "Son, please break off with General Zhang." ”

Liu Bei fixed his eyes and saw that this person was weak and weak, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and was heroic, and it was his own adopted son Liu Feng is also. This Liu Feng was originally surnamed Dou (later history mistakenly for Kou), a descendant of Dou Gui, a relative of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty and Emperor Yongyuan five years, Dou Gui migrated to Luo Hou, Changsha County, and the family moved to Luo County, Changsha County, Yongyuan was forced to commit suicide by the Liang family in the tenth year, and the knight was removed. When Liu Bei was in Jingzhou, he got acquainted with Dou Feng's maternal uncle Liu, and they had a tacit understanding, and they didn't have a son at that time, so he accepted Dou Feng as his adopted son and changed his name to Liu Feng.

In the original history, Liu Bei immediately got a biological son named Liu Chan - Liu Feng has never had a chance to succeed him. But in this timeline, Liu Chan's mother-in-law Gan followed Shixun, and Liu Bei's side room Elk was wide - in short, when Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, he failed to get a famous woman. Who is Liu Bei's main room, and how many side rooms, regardless of it for the time being, in short, they are all dead in the upheaval, scattered, and they will wait until they enter Shu to marry Liu Mao's surviving person, Wu Yi's sister Wu as his wife, and call the emperor to canonize Wu as the queen.

In any timeline, this Empress Wu did not give birth, and after Liu Bei entered Shu, she gave birth to a total of two concubines, one Liu Chan and one Liu Yong - in the original timeline, it may be Liu Yong and Liu Li, and Xiao Adou has no chance to be reincarnated at all.

Originally, if Liu Chan was born to Mrs. Gan, although she was not considered a son-in-law, Mrs. Gan was deeply favored by Liu Bei, and often took pictures of internal affairs in the absence of a main room, which can be described as a "widow" (noble concubine), according to the Han law, under the son-in-law is the son of a son-in-law, and it is estimated that Liu Feng has no quarrel with him; But today's Liu Chan's mother is not noble, so she is quite close to her adopted son Liu Feng in legal terms, so if Liu Feng also has a chance to become the prince according to the eldest and youngest, it depends on how Liu Bei himself chooses. It's just that Liu Bei has always dragged on and refused to establish an heir, saying that Queen Wu is young and may have children, and the son-in-law born to him is actually trying to exclude Liu Feng, who is not his own blood and blood, from the inheritance system.

Liu Feng naturally knew this, so he wanted to establish a great martial arts to win more supporters among the military generals, so that he could seek to seize the crown prince. This time, after leading the army, I naturally have to take a considerable risk, but the greater the risk, the greater the benefit, if I make this great contribution and take the opportunity to have a good relationship with Zhang Fei, can my father not seriously consider me?

Therefore, he came out of the crowd and insisted on asking for orders, saying, "How can a man who is in trouble with his father and cannot save his son?" "Use the great principle of filial piety to paint the color of justice on your trip. Liu Bei had no choice but to agree-although Liu Feng is young, he can really fight, and it is difficult to find a more reliable future than him.

The main force of the Shu army hurriedly crossed the Wei and came straight to the mouth of the valley, but the forward had just entered the valley, and Yu Ban led his troops to arrive - Liu Bei said in his heart that it was dangerous, if there was no Zong Wei to come to the book of filial piety, I would be one step slower and the valley mouth would be blocked by the Wei army, and I would be buried on the bank of this Weishui! He instinctively ignored it, in fact, Huang Quan had already persuaded him to withdraw several times......

Before it was time to fight, Liu Bei remembered that Huang Quan was coming, and immediately ordered the enemy to be forbidden to cover the retreat of the army. Huang Quan asked, after I repelled the enemy army, should I follow you back to Hanzhong directly, or stay in Gukou and deal with General Zhang and Ling Gongzi? Liu Bei replied: "If you wait for Yide to return, you can return to it." "You have to deal with Zhang Fei's retreat, as for Liu Feng...... I didn't mention it, you see.

Huang Quan leaned on the mountain, he was tired from afar, and he was not a fighting general, so he couldn't even rush through several times, so Liu Bei was able to withdraw from Guanzhong smoothly.

Besides, Cao Cao and Cao Zhen and others met together, went straight to Huaili, and went to the city to take a look, only to see the flag waving, but no one was silent. Frustrated, he raised his whip and said: "This must be empty, and the enemy is already in the dust." Cao Cao didn't believe it, and sent Lu Meng to lead the army to attack the city, and sure enough, there was no trace of the Shu army - Zhang Fei took advantage of the dark moon last night, and he had already run away.

Cao Cao made Cao Hong the leader, chasing all the way, and then to martial arts. Cao Hong saw that the city was the same as Huaili, and there was no one in the city, and he couldn't help laughing: "Fu Zifu didn't expect it badly, Liu Bei has crossed Wei to the south, and wants to return to Hanzhong, but Yu Wen can stop him at the valley mouth." "Order to enter the city, take a little rest, you can chase after the tail, strive to follow the ban before and after, capture Liu Bei alive, and eliminate the disaster of the world!

Since it was an empty city, it was too lazy to build a ladder, so he directly sent his soldiers to climb the city with ropes, and then came down to open the door to welcome Cao Hong in. However, Cao Hong had just ridden his horse into the urn city, when he suddenly heard a drum in the city, ambushes in all directions, and arrows rained down. Cao Zilian left in a panic, but when he saw Zhang Fei in the north and Liu Feng in the south, he led his soldiers and horses to outflank him left and right along the city wall.

Although Cao Hong was brave, he was unexpected, and he didn't know how many soldiers and horses the enemy had, so he was forced to flee with his army in embarrassment. Zhang Fei, Liu Feng and others pursued from behind, killing and wounding many people, and caught up with the main force of Cao's army in one go. Cao Cao didn't expect to encounter the enemy army at all, and he didn't expect Cao Hong to be defeated directly. had no choice but to retreat to a high place on the shore of Weishui, and beckoned all armies to surround them in order to contain the enemy's momentum.

But seeing the Shu army coming and going in the distance, arrogant to the extreme, there will be an hour, the Wei army can barely stabilize its position, but the morale has fallen, but the battle is strictly guarded, and no one dares to fight. Jiang Ji also persuaded Cao Cao, saying that he should first set up a camp, and then find out the number of enemy troops, whether Liu Bei was in the army, and rectify it overnight, and it was not too late to fight with him tomorrow.

Cao Cao looked at it, but when he saw a golden helmet and golden armor, riding a yellow horse, with a long lance in his hand, and dozens of horses galloping in front of the battle, he asked left and right: "Who is this?" Left and right sent people to inquire, and came back to report: "It is Liu Bei's false son Liu Feng is also." Cao Cao scolded angrily: "Selling shoes, making a fake son to reject your father?!" "Ru Gong" is a habitual self-title when cursing others at that time, which is equivalent to "you and me" in later generations.

"If I'm here, why be afraid of this fang?!" That is, why didn't Cao Zhang go out with me? Who do you ask? Didn't you order the kingdom of kings to drive Cao Zhang back to the fiefdom? Of course, he didn't dare to say that, but just asked, "Your Majesty wants to summon the king of the city to come?" There was a good calculation, and immediately gave the time to go back and forth: "If the urgent delivery is called, the horse will come quickly, and it will arrive on the twelfth or thirteenth." ”

Cao Cao said okay, then hurry up and call Cao Zhang, let Liu Bei see how powerful my real son is! (To be continued.) )
