Five thousand against thousand, prepared against unprepared, this battle did not have any suspense at all, and it was over quickly.

Wei Yan couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Wei General. He announced the start of the attack with a Ming Di, the target was the Wei general who was sitting on the back of the horse and shaking his head, after an arrow, this man fell off the horse, and never climbed on the horse again, thinking that he was injured by an arrow and could not command the battle, but now I know that this thing is simply frightened, although the arrow hit his breastplate, the injury is not serious, at least not to the point of affecting the command.

It can be seen from this that the defenders of Tongguan are far from the elite. Wei Ba's news is not wrong, Tongguan, as a pass in the interior of Cao Wei, has long lost its previous role as a fortress. In the eyes of many people, including many high-ranking generals, Tongguan has become a piece of chicken ribs. Because of this, Wei Ba went to Tongguan to check without authorization, and although Xiahou Mao was a little unhappy, he was not really alert.

When Wei Yan was cleaning up the battlefield under his subordinates, he quickly got the information he needed from the mouth of this general, and he didn't even need to intimidate, this Wei general who was afraid of death poured beans into a bamboo tube, and even took the initiative to ask for surrender, patting his chest and saying that he would serve the Han and eradicate the anti-Wei.

Wei Yan despised him very much, but he also knew that this kind of person was very useful at this time. He immediately put on the robes of the Wei army, pretended to be the defenders of this Qiantong Pass, and set off for Yiwu in front, still using this Wei general who was afraid of death as a puppet. After Cao Wei became the Han Dynasty, the color of the clothes was changed, and the color of the officials' clothes was not the same as that of the Shu Han who had always inherited the style of the Han Dynasty, but the clothing of ordinary soldiers did not change much, it was very convenient to change clothes, and it was not for a long time, and the Tongguan defenders who had changed their blood were back on the road.

This time, their march was much faster, and in order to prevent the flaws from being exposed, they did not dare to go to the county seat when they were resting. Camp only outside the city. Two days later, they rushed to the outside of the dock.

……

In the inner city of Yiwu, Wei Ba practiced boxing in the house. One move and one style, there are boards and eyes, and every punch is faintly carried by some rumors. Atsumu stood guard at the door. His face was as cold as usual, but there was some admiration in his eyes.

Wei Ba's progress is staggering.

Full of money. Wei Ba has been practicing martial arts for a year and a half now, but he is different from others in the past year and a half, as long as the conditions are possible, he will get up on time every day to practice martial arts, and he never does things perfunctory, every move and style, all go all out. Ponder the subtle changes. When practicing boxing, there is no distraction, there is no invincibility in the eyes, and there are enemies within a zhang around you. That meticulous energy. Even people like Dunwu, who have been practicing martial arts since childhood, are a little embarrassed.

The rapid improvement of his strength comes from his hard work and concentration beyond ordinary people.

Insist on exercising every day, you can strengthen your body, and insist on introspection every day, but you can check and make up for the shortcomings.

Wei Ba demanded himself according to such standards. He knows very well that his foundation is too poor, and if he wants to catch up with others as soon as possible, he can only put in more effort than others. Although his kung fu is not as strong as Dunwu's, his insight far surpasses theirs, and he knows very well how powerful a person can be when he goes all out. People have potential, but potential is difficult to develop, until the moment of life and death, there is no strong will beyond ordinary people, potential is always potential.

And now he has the will to become stronger, and he has the psychological foundation to transform potential into ability, so he can put in great effort and make amazing progress.

But his mood today is a little chaotic.

With a punch, Wei Ba hesitated for a moment, suddenly sighed, and got up.

Dunwu quietly looked out the door, his hand on the knife ring.

Outside the door, Xiahou Hui was wrapped in a white coat, and under the protection of the four armorers, he quietly looked at Wei Ba.

Wei Ba picked up the cloth towel hanging aside, wiped his sweat, and asked, "Miss Xiahou came early in the morning, could it be that she has any advice?" ”

Xiahou Hui's spirit was not very good, his originally ruddy cheeks were a little pale, and even his lips had lost their bloody color.

"Uncle...... Please give it a go. A few words, but it seemed to drain all Xiahou Hui's physical strength, she looked so tired that she couldn't even lift her head.

Wei Ba hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll come right away." ”

"Thank you." Xiahou Hui replied in a low voice, turned around and left.

She walked in a hurry, as if she was running away from something. Although Wei Ba couldn't see her, he could hear from the hurried footsteps, and she was in a very chaotic mood now.

Wei Ba put down the cloth towel, looked at the armor hanging on the side, shook his head, just put on a big coat, put on a crown, and took Dunwu out of the gate. As soon as he took two steps, Dun Wu suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes and reminded softly: "Young master, at the gate of the city." ”

Wei Ba quietly moved closer to the railing, looked towards the city gate, and saw a group of Wei soldiers walking in, one of them was tall, full of eight feet five inches, and looked particularly conspicuous in the crowd. Although the one next to him was not as tall as him, he walked steadily and had the smell of an iron-blooded warrior.

Wei Ba recognized it at a glance, these were the two Wei family soldiers beside him, the tall one was Zhu Yi, and the one next to him was Tang Qianyu.

Wei Ba and Dunwu quickly glanced at each other, turned around and returned to the house, and took off the big hat. Dunwu tacitly took Wei Ba's armor from Lan Qi and put it on him. The two checked each other's equipment, and then went out again, walking towards Xiahou Mao's lobby with expressionless faces. When he arrived at the door, Wei Ba untied the long knife at his waist, presented his hands to the warrior standing on the side, and walked up the steps, just about to go to the hall. Atsumo, who was standing at the foot of the stairs, suddenly stepped forward, grimaced, and whispered a few words in his ear.

"How did you do that?" Wei Ba reprimanded angrily and waved his hand, "Go and come back quickly." ”

"Whoa." Dunwu answered, clutched his stomach, and ran away. The armorers next to them couldn't help but laugh when they saw it. Needless to say, this kid must be in trouble.

Xiahou Mao was walking around the hall, and when he saw Wei Ba coming to the hall, he hurriedly greeted him: "Ziyu, come quickly." ”

Wei Ba stepped forward and saluted: "General, summon me here, I don't know what advice you have?" ”

"Teach and teach." Xiahou Mao waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, I'm sorry for you in the past two days, but I think you can also understand my difficulties." Without further ado, you can give me another idea and see what to do now? ”

Wei Ba asked in surprise, "General, what's wrong?" ”

"Don't mention it, it's really worse." Xiahou said with annoyance: "An Ding has also rebelled." Now there is no news about Longxi County left west of Longshan, and it is estimated that it is also more auspicious. The situation has deteriorated so quickly that it is really surprising. Ziyu, if I had listened to you and transferred the main force to the Qishan area, how could I have this result today. ”

Wei Ba was happy and worried. The good news is that Zhuge Liang is progressing smoothly, Yongzhou has a total of four counties in the west of Longshan, and now three counties have been lowered, and it is estimated that the remaining Longxi counties will soon surrender. In history, Zhuge Liang also had such a smooth start, and the reason why he was suddenly defeated later was because Ma Tan lost the street pavilion and the reinforcements led by Zhang He entered Longyou, which led to the reversal of the situation. Now that Guanzhong is occupied by Shu Han, and Cao Wei's main force is in the southeast, it will take a while to rush over, and it is impossible to fly directly through Guanzhong and directly enter Longyou. In such a favorable situation, Zhuge Liang should have no problem at all.

Of course, in this way, Cao Wei will also pay more attention to the battle situation in the northwest, the Longyou counties are the place where Cao Wei raises horses, and it is the reliance of Cao Wei's cavalry to dominate the world, how can they sit back and watch it lose, and next, they will definitely fight back with all their might, and Tongguan is the first place to bear the brunt. Whether or not he can hold Tongguan is of great significance to Zhuge Liang, but it is far less significant than that of the Wei family.

After losing Guanzhong, Zhuge Liang could still keep Longyou, but the Wei family never had a chance to turn over.

Seeing that Wei Ba was distracted, Xiahou was anxious, and shouted angrily: "Ziyu, what are you thinking, why don't you hurry up and help me come up with an idea?" ”

Wei Ba rubbed his hands: "General, I am a general, at this time, I am still ......"

"Don't talk about it." Xiahou Mao waved his arm vigorously and interrupted Wei Ba's words: "I know you are wronged, but now is not the time to be wronged, help me come up with an idea." If it drags on any longer, Zhuge Liang will enter the Guanzhong. ”

Wei Ba deliberately delayed for a moment, and then he was forced to say helplessly: "General Gaojian, I thought that I should immediately send someone to defend Longguan and Keigu. ”

Xiahou Mao thought for a while: "But...... I don't have anyone left. ”

"You can urgently recruit troops, although the population of Guanzhong is not large, there are still some powerful families, and it should still be possible to levy their troops and hold Longshan and Keigu. As long as he persists for a while, presumably Guo Tingshi will also rush to Longshan. ”

Xiahou Mao was at a loss, not knowing whether to take Wei Ba's suggestion or not. Longyou has been lost, with Guo Huai's current strength, it is unlikely that he wants to counterattack, and the biggest possibility is to retreat to Longshan and hold the Guanzhong defense line. It's just that in this way, it is equivalent to giving up the entire Longyou, and the Son of Heaven will blame him in the future, how will he explain?

Xiahou Mao regretted it, but he didn't know what he regretted. He not only regretted that he did not listen to Wei Ba's advice and increase the troops of Longyou as soon as possible, but also regretted that he wrote to the Son of Heaven and said unashamedly that he could be responsible for the war in the entire Western Theater and did not need the general Cao Zhen to come to Guanzhong. Now that the situation is rapidly deteriorating, he doesn't know what to do.

"Now...... Is it still too late? Xiahou Mao stammered, his face was red and white for a while, obviously out of order.

Wei Ba was silent, as if he was thinking about Xiahou Mao's problem, but in fact, he had been paying attention to his subordinates. Dunwu went to connect with Tang Qianyu, Zhu Yi and others, and he hasn't come back yet. What was the situation outside, he didn't know very well now, Tang Qianyu was here to answer him, or was he going to take Hewu completely, he couldn't make any rash moves until he knew the result. Otherwise, the city might have been broken, but he might have died too much to die.

His martial arts skills are well practiced, but the dozens of heavily armed armor soldiers around Xiahou Mao are not vegetarians. There may be some opportunities to restrain Xiahou Mao, but if there are not enough troops to respond, it will still be difficult for him to get out alive.

Wei Ba didn't speak, Xiahou Mao looked at him with blank eyes, there was a strange silence in the hall, Xu Ran flashed at the door, and when he saw that the atmosphere in the hall was not right, he quietly retreated again. (To be continued.) )
