It is not difficult for Hao Zhao to get out of the city, although Zhuge Liang is besieging the city, he is not besieged. Obviously, Zhuge Liang didn't want Hao Zhao to defend Ji County, he preferred Hao Zhao to go out of the city to fight, so he gave Hao Zhao enough space to leave according to the usual tactics of encircling three queyi.

These spaces were enough for Hao Zhao to send Ma Jun out, but if his army wanted to leave like this, it would be extremely difficult. As soon as he saw Hao Zhao open the city gate, Zhuge Liang commanded the army to rush over, Jiang Wei and Wang Ping flanked left and right, biting Hao Zhao nearly half of the men and horses in time, and seized the city gate to prevent Hao Zhao from retreating to the death place of Ji County again.

Hao Zhao didn't have the heart to fight at all. He knew very well that although Xiahou Ba had rushed to meet him as agreed, it was still impossible for the Wei army to retreat, Zhuge Liang had been preparing for so long, there were nearly 80,000 troops outside the city, and they couldn't leave without leaving a price, so Hao Zhao had already divided the army into two parts, his hometown was in Longyou and Guanzhong, and his hometown was the vanguard of the Central Plains, and he also coerced more than a dozen representatives of the Tianshui clan as hostages to ensure that the soldiers behind the palace would not turn against each other as soon as they went out.

Seeing the Shu Han army rushing from both wings, Hao Zhao did not hesitate, took his personal guard cavalry and more than a thousand soldiers who were eager to return home, escorted Ma Jun all the way away, and successfully rushed out before the Shu Han army was encircled.

When Jiang Wei saw this situation, he immediately understood Hao Zhao's intentions, and didn't bother to inform Zhuge Liang, and pursued with a few personal guard horses. As soon as he rushed out of ten miles, he saw smoke and dust rising in the distance, and then, the scout came to report that Xiahou Ba led three thousand elite horsemen to meet him.

Jiang Wei was taken aback and didn't dare to chase anymore. He and these hundreds of people faced Xiahou Ba. I can't even make a splash. Jiang Wei grabbed the reins and looked at Hao Zhao's back with regret. He believed that Ma Jun must be among those people. Hao Zhao could only have one purpose in doing this, and that was to send Ma Jun away. If he has enough cavalry to intercept Ma Jun, then the burden on the prime minister's shoulders will be much lighter.

Unfortunately, now he can only watch this great opportunity slip away from his eyes.

Jiang Wei turned his horse back and escorted the frightened representatives of the Son of Heaven clan back to Ji County. He sat on horseback, paying attention to the movement behind him, and chatting and laughing with his fellow villagers. The Jiang family is one of the four surnames of Tianshui. And these people are no strangers. It's just that his father died early, and he doesn't usually have many opportunities to sit at the same table with these people. Now the situation is different, Prime Minister Zhuge has captured Longyou, and he is Prime Minister Zhuge Prime Minister's favorite disciple and cronie. All these men will look up at him from now on. Just like now.

It's been a few years. The unfilial son who abandoned his mother and went to Shu finally returned to his hometown. I don't know weishenme, as soon as he thought of this, Jiang Wei, who was supposed to be satisfied, suddenly remembered Wei Ba's disdainful eyes. All the excitement and pride vanished in an instant, and a touch of embarrassment and shame appeared on his face, which was blown black and thick by the wind.

Jiang Wei lowered his head, glanced at Ji County in the distance, his hand tightened the reins, and the tall and sturdy Xiliang war horse stopped in confusion and shook his neck.

Seeing that Jiang Wei's face was wrong, those who were talking to him with a smile on their faces closed their mouths tightly.

……

"Huh-" Xiahou Ba reined in his war horse, looked at Hao Zhao with a gloomy expression, and stopped talking. He rushed here after receiving Hao Zhao's news, and he was naturally clear about Hao Zhao's feelings. As a veteran who has fought for many years, he gave Ji County to Zhuge Liang and withdrew from Longyou, even if he was helpless, Hao Zhao's heart would be very uncomfortable.

"General Hao, the matter has come to this point, and it is not a crime of war. Let's hurry up, the Horsemen are waiting in front. ”

Hao Zhao looked back at Ji County again and answered. They walked all the way and soon met Qin Lang and Tian Yu who were rushing over. Qin Lang and Tian Yu were also in a bad mood. This retreat represented the complete defeat of Wei in the battle for Longyou for several years, and it lost control of Longyou from then on. Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that there will be no chance to regain Longyou. Thinking of the ups and downs of Wei in the past few years after the loss of Guanzhong, everyone's hearts are a little desolate.

A few people joined forces, and there were nearly 30,000 foot cavalry, although it was not enough to fight Zhuge Liang's main force head-on, but no one could stop them from retreating. The soldiers who had been fighting abroad for many years also returned home, and they moved very quickly and headed all the way to the east.

……

Zhuge Liang walked up to the city of Ji County, and looked at the devices in Ji County one by one, his face was calm, but there was some happiness in his eyes. If Hao Zhao didn't take the initiative to abandon the city, in addition to using Wei Ba's tactics to attack, he would have to wait for the city to run out of food. Hao Zhao Shoucheng is very experienced, and Ma Jun is a mechanical genius, and the two of them cooperate, and Ji County can be described as impregnable.

"Take a good look." Zhuge Liang said to Jiang Wei and Wang Ping, who were following behind him: "Hao Zhao's city is very well guarded, and there is a lot to learn from. Cao Rui will not use such a talent, you will have the opportunity to meet him in the future, and it will be helpful for you to understand his tactics in advance. ”

Jiang Wei and Wang Ping hurriedly agreed.

Yang Yi looked around at the city defense, carefully avoided the things on the ground, and said with a smile: "The prime minister is clever, with only one letter, Hao Zhao left without a fight, I am afraid that he has already been frightened, and when he sees the prime minister's banner in the future, he will be frightened, where is there still the courage to resist." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Wei Gong, you are so optimistic. Hao Zhao abandoned the city and left, not because he was cold, but because he knew that it was useless to defend it. Instead of being trapped here, it is better to bring those elites back to Hedong. Now that the Wei army is declining, these elites can play a greater role when they return to Hedong. What's more......" Zhuge Liang paused for a moment, and then said: "...... And Ma Jun. If it weren't for escorting Ma Jun out of the city, Hao Zhao wouldn't have given up so easily. ”

Hearing Ma Jun's name, Yang Yi immediately thought of another name, and the corners of her eyes twitched involuntarily. He actually knew very well that the real hero of these easy seizures of Ji County was not Zhuge Liang, but Wei Ba, who invented new tactics, conquered Wancheng in one fell swoop, and helped Li Yanquan take Nanyang, making Wei unable to support Longyou. And his new tactics frightened Ma Jun and Hao Zhao, making them realize that holding on was useless, which led them to abandon the city.

Wei Ba influenced the war in Longyou thousands of miles away, which can be described as a far-reaching reputation. It's a pity that Yang Yi was uncomfortable when she heard this name, so she was not interested in continuing Zhuge Liang's words.

"Prime Minister, when is that ...... Departure? Yang Yi leaned closer to Zhuge Liang and said in a low voice.

"Departure?" Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head: "Don't worry, don't worry." Although Longyou started, Liangzhou was still outside the jurisdiction, and he would talk about it after taking Liangzhou. ”

Yang Yi looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise, Jiang Wei was also a little surprised, they exchanged a look, and there was a look of doubt in their eyes.

Wei Yan and Xiang Lang fell behind side by side, looking at Zhuge Liang who was surrounded by people in front of him, Wei Yan rubbed his hands and sighed. Xiang Lang glanced at him and said with a smile: "What, after a long battle without success, I am afraid that my son will overshadow the limelight?" ”

Wei Yanqiang smiled: "Laughing at Gong Xiang, am I such an immeasurable person?" Besides, although the dog has made some small contributions, he is now a guilty body, and whether he can keep his general Zhennan is a question, and it is impossible to surpass me. I just think that this time I followed the prime minister out of Longyou, and I am sorry for the trust of the first emperor and Bixia. ”

Xiang Lang couldn't help laughing, stopped his steps, leaned on the city wall, looked at the winding Weishui in the distance, and smiled silently. Wei Yan was puzzled and stopped. Waiting for the crowd that was following to pass away, Xiang Langcai said: "Wen Chang, you are a good soldier, and your sons are all talents, but in terms of the smartest, it is Ziyu." ”

"I know that." Wei Yan nodded and smiled proudly.

"No, you don't." Xiang Lang turned his head and looked at Wei Yan, there was no smile on his face. Seeing him so serious, Wei Yan was also a little embarrassed, and quickly put away his smile. Xiang Lang said solemnly: "If you really know Ziyu's good intentions, you won't complain anymore." ”

Wei Yan looked at Xiang Lang blankly, figuring out the meaning of Xiang Lang's words. However, he is obviously not good at this, and he can't figure out what Wei Ba's good intentions are, and he can't complain.

Seeing Wei Ba's appearance, Xiang Lang sighed secretly, and said that he knew his son Mo Ruo's father, why didn't Wei Yan understand Wei Ba's intentions. He was about to speak, but when he saw Yang Wei walking over quickly, he quickly closed his mouth and smiled again: "Yuan Xiu, you are in such a hurry, is there something?" ”

Although Yang Wei didn't like these two people, in front of Xiang Lang, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The prime minister has invited General Zhenbei to discuss the matter. ”

Xiang Lang raised his eyebrows, and before he could say anything, Wei Yan smiled, hurriedly arched his hand at Xiang Lang, turned around and followed Yang Wei. Xiang Lang secretly sighed and shook his head.

Wei Yan walked quickly in front of Zhuge Liang and bowed. Zhuge Liang raised his hand with a smile: "Wen Chang, I have good news for you, Zirou has made meritorious service again, he just took the lead in the battle to capture Kunyang." ”

Zhuge Liang said as he took the military report from Yang Yi and handed it to Wei Yan. Wei Yan hurriedly took it and glanced at Yang Yi with a straight face by the way. The military newspaper said very briefly, Chen Zhi and Ma Tan led the army to support Lu Xun, and the 60,000 army besieged Kunyang, once again replicating the glory of Wancheng, more than 1,000 thunderbolts and ballistas fired in a burst, caught Zhang He off guard, and quickly conquered Kunyang City. Wei Feng led the Wei family soldiers and was the first to climb the head of Kunyang.

"Wen Chang, your sons are very good, brave and strategic, and have made many military exploits, and you can't relax as a father."

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Please give the Prime Minister's orders." ”

"Wen Chang, although Longyou is down, Liangzhou is not peaceful, I want you to lead the troops to take Liangzhou, how about it?"

"Okay." Wei Yan was overjoyed, patted his chest, and said loudly: "Please rest assured, Prime Minister, Yan will definitely live up to his mission." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded with satisfaction: "Since this is the case, then I will write to Bixia and turn you into the general of Zhenxi." ”

Xiang Lang arrived, just in time to hear Zhuge Liang's words, his body couldn't help but stagnate. He glanced at the ecstatic Wei Yan and sighed involuntarily
