The Wei army built a fortress on the east bank of Yongshui, and fought against the combined forces of Liu Bei and Chen Gong for more than a month.

If it was the battle of Hanzhong in the original history, Cao Mengde should think about retreating and abandoning the land at this time, and it is estimated that the password of "chicken ribs" will also be issued. The problem is that Guanzhong is not as good as Hanzhong, if it retreats, Chang'an may be difficult to defend, lose Chang'an, the western army can go straight to Taolinsai, and then threaten the hinterland of Hedong and Henan, just like dominoes to produce a chain effect, the Wei family is afraid that it will collapse.

Cheng Yu, who accompanied him, persuaded Cao Cao, saying: "Although the situation is urgent, if Emperor Gao used to contain Xiang Yu between Xingyang and Chenggao, there will be no luck in retreating, and it may change for a long time." Liang and Yi are both remote and barren, and no army can hang outside for a long time, but I have a deep heart and a wide range of support, so why be afraid? ”

This is a good point, Xun You and Shixun are sitting in the rear, and they are continuously sending troops, horses and materials to Guanzhong. Just as Yangzhou and Jingzhou were also pacified, the soldiers and horses returned to the north one after another, replacing the guards in various places, and soon piled up more than 100,000 people near Chang'an, which greatly exceeded the number of enemy troops. So there was a strategist who said that since it was difficult to open up the situation for a while, it would be better to send the farewell army from the Meridian Valley to attack Hanzhong, or go north from Feng Yi to scratch Liangzhou and distract the enemy's attention. But Cheng Zhongde denied it, he said: "Everything you say is a deep and narrow place, and Enke is in danger?" Don't be surprised, those who have to do it with a small and big are also, now our army is numerous, and the enemy will be on the rise, it is a positive attack, be careful not to cause branches. ”

There are more and more Wei soldiers. And there are plenty of food and grass supplies. Although because of morale, command, etc. It was not possible to completely turn the tide of the battle for a while, but the pressure on the Liang and Yi coalition forces was also increasing. Liu Bei consulted with Fa Zheng and Chen Gong, and Chen Gong was also like Cheng Yu, citing the past when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were holding each other between Xingyang and Chenggao in the past, and persuaded Liu Bei not to retreat. Fa Zheng said: "If I don't retreat now, it will not be the end of the game, the stronger the enemy, and the more tired I am." General Wakaro came. It may be possible. ”

Chen Gong hung his head and didn't speak, and Fa Zheng lured him: "Returning to bury Xue and Li Erjun, in order to provoke General Lu?" "Hurry up and carry the corpses of Xue Lan and Li Feng back to Liangzhou, and try to provoke Lu Bu with this. Chen Gong was still a little hesitant - he fought with Xiahou Yuan before, not only lost two generals, but also suffered heavy losses in the cavalry, which was the worst battle since he marched west with Lu Bu, and he was really afraid that Lu Bu would be angry when he learned the exact casualty figures, and even directly punished himself.

Fa Xiaozhi understood what Chen Gongtai was thinking, so he spoke bitterly. Repeatedly induced, saying that the paper can't contain the fire. Lu Bu will know about the damage you have suffered sooner or later. Do you think it's better to bring him in and let's fight a few big victories, or wait for you to return to Liangzhou and face his anger again?

Chen Gong had no choice but to return the corpses of the two generals, and at the same time ask Lu Bu for help. At this time, because Yan Xing surrendered before the battle, Lü Bu had already conquered Jincheng County Zhiyunwu, and Han then plotted to enter Qiangzhong, and killed Tian Le, Yang Kui, Lu Yan, Jiang Shi, etc., and returned to Lü Bu with his head. Lu Bu was proud, and suddenly received a report from Chen Gong from Guanzhong.

Lu Bu was so hated that he split the board with his bare hands on the spot, threw it to the ground, and said angrily: "Why is our army so badly damaged, but Liu Bei has to make meritorious contributions?" Gongtai is the official of Liangzhou, and the official of Yizhou? ! Yang Fu took the opportunity to come to a sentence without yin or yang: "Liangzhou has its own lord, and the public platform has to make contributions?" Thought it was a pioneer in Yizhou. ”

However, Lu Bu was not only surrounded by Yang Fu, a native of Liangzhou, but also Wang Kai and Xu Yan, who followed him all the way from Yanzhou, and Chen Gong were really grasshoppers on a rope. This time they persuaded again, saying that the general was busy attacking Han Sui before, and he couldn't spare himself to rescue Chen Gongtai, but now that Jincheng has been down, Han Sui gave the head, just to lead the victorious army to the east, if you can destroy the main force of the Cao army in Guanzhong, you can seek to seize the world, and retreat can protect Liangzhou, why not?

Yang Fu and the others scolded: "What are you talking about? The lord is a pure minister of the Han Dynasty, and his achievements are brilliant, so why give up the fame of the world and the ugly thing of stealing the country? Xu Yan retorted: "Cao Cao harmed the Yuan and cut the country, he is a real thief of the country, we persuade the general to the east, in order to express the country's difficulties, how can I say rebellion?" The two sides attacked endlessly, and when they heard Lu Bu's big head, he finally slapped the table, said that you all shut up, turned his head and asked Wei Xu, Hou Cheng and other generals: "What do you want?" ”

The generals came out one after another, and they made a decision: "We want to fight." "Lu Bu said Okay, then it's decided, I'll take you to Guanzhong to see how powerful Cao Jun is, he can beat Chen Gong like a dog.

Yang Fu and the others couldn't stop it, Yan Xing took the opportunity to speak, saying: "Although Han Sui is dead, the Qiang disaster has not stopped, Xing is familiar with the affairs of Qiang, please stay in the future, and be fair to the Lord." Lu Bu was overjoyed, held his hand and said, "Yan Ming is willing to share my worries, fortunately." But when they turned their faces, Wang Kai and Xu Yan secretly advised Lu Bu, saying that why are you so relieved that you will descend to a person? If Yan Xing had a different heart and cut off Jincheng to be self-assured, wouldn't that be another Han Sui? Haven't we all been fighting in vain all these years?

Lu Bu is a soft ear, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be suspicious, so he praised Yang Fu as the Taishou of Jincheng, and let Song Xian and Yan Xing lead the army to assist him. He personally led 30,000 elite soldiers in Liangzhou, and rushed to Guanzhong with hula.

When the news arrived, Cao Cao had just received a reinforcement from the west-Nai Xun summoned Zhuojun Taishou to go south, and took over 2,000 Shuozhou Hu cavalry and 5,000 Hedong infantry soldiers in Anyi, and went to Guanzhong to help Cao. Cao Cao first led Fu Zhu to Gaofu, inspected the situation on the front line, and then asked him sincerely: "Zifu thinks that the enemy can be broken?" ”

In fact, Cao Cao most hoped that Jia Xu could come to help - that guy was from Guanxi and was familiar with the situation in Guanzhong and Liangzhou - the problem Jia Wenhe followed Xiahoudun south to Jiangdong and pacified the Sun family, and there was still a lot of follow-up work that had to be completed, and he couldn't get out for a while. That's right, Jiangdong is temporarily pacified, but there are still many remnants of the Sun clan who are unwilling to surrender, and the Wuhui clan redistributes the cake, and there are many contradictions between them, and it is easy not to conflict.

He is also a wise and resourceful person in the world, and strictly speaking, he cannot be regarded as a pure strategist, not like Xun's uncle and nephew, he is born to strategize. Fu Zhu, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Chen Gong and other generations, all have actual experience in leading troops to fight, if you are in the era of hot weapons when generals and martial arts can no longer affect the battle situation, they will be far better than Guan, Zhang and other generations. Therefore, Cao Cao was also full of expectations for the arrival of Fu Zhu, and he did not discuss with him in the tent or talk on paper, and directly brought him to the front line.

Cao Cao asked, "Can the enemy be broken?" Cao Cao was overjoyed and hurriedly asked for a plan, but he said: "If the Duke of Wei hands over all the soldiers to the award, the award will be broken by the public." ”

What did Cao Cao say in his heart, do you want to take all the military power? How can that be done? After all, frustration is not the team he started with, he is a general, in this timeline, let alone frustration, even Jia Xu and Cao Cao can't trust it. In case he is still thinking about avenging the Yuan family, or if he has the Han family in mind, as soon as he gets the military power, he will cooperate with Liu Beili and the outside, Cao Cao will not be completely finished!

So Cao Cao had no choice but to sink his face: "Zifu, don't laugh." Frustrated Zhu couldn't help but pout, and raised his whip: "If the general is granted, ten days can break the enemy; If you refuse to fight, the enemy will gradually collapse, and it will only be a few months before you retreat. Ran worried that Lu Bu would come to help...... "Cao Cao said that I am also worried about this, do you have any good way - by the way, the topic of military power has been diverted." Frustrated and replied: "If Lu Bu comes, the situation is chaos, and he will last for half a year, or he can do it, but if there is a slight negligence, Guanzhong cannot ......be guaranteed."

Glancing at Cao Cao's expression, he continued: "Lu Bu is brave and courageous, if he comes immediately, he will have already extinguished Han Sui, and he will be able to win the momentum, and I am afraid that it will not be possible." This generation is invincible, and it can be said that the one who walks is also. ”

Cao Cao said, "Oh, can you persuade Lu Bu to retire?" That's just a lot of good. Fu Zhu smiled slightly: "Wu'an has this ability? Who can say Lu Bu, who is it not Hongfu? ”

If Xun was next to him, and heard this, I am afraid that he would rise up on the spot and stab his frustration under the horse-it is not you who harms people! Thanks to my hard work and painstaking efforts to save your life, you pushed me into the fire pit today? Plainly, what I'm most afraid of is Lu Bu, because that guy has a rough temperament and strange thinking, you can't use the means of lobbying a doctor to lobby him, nor can you use the idea of lobbying a big old man to lobby him. He stirs up trouble everywhere, but he is loyal to the Han family, he is not willing to be subservient to others, but he is bent on being on duty, I can't feel the pulse of this person.

Yes, I once lobbied Lu Bu and sent him to Guanxi, but do you know how trembling and treading on thin ice were? How many accidental factors do you have to add to prevent Lu Bu from getting angry and splitting me on the spot? Let me go to see Lu Bu under the premise of a formal confrontation between the two sides? You're going to kill me here, and I'll be able to keep a whole corpse......

In fact, he really didn't want to harm Shixun, he purely talked about things. In his opinion, if Lu Bu is really aggressive, he will be able to say that he will not be able to pick out a second person, except for Xun, who is unparalleled in the world.

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but groan for a long time, and then returned to the camp without saying a word. That night, he wrote a letter and sent someone back to Anyi, in which he described the situation at the front line, and then said that I am short of manpower here, please Hongfu you come to help quickly—not a word about lobbying Lu Bu.

Shi Xun's private intelligence system is quite perfect, but no matter how perfect it is, it is impossible to overhear Cao Cao's pre-battle conversation with Fu Zhi, let alone guess Cao Cao's thoughts, so after Shi Xun received the letter, he did not make any other associations except for sighing that he was going on a business trip again.

He just pondered, instead of being anxious with the rear, I should go to the front line and see if there was anything I could do to help. Not to mention anything else, I am more familiar with the character and ability of the main generals under Liu Bei than you. (To be continued......) R1292
