Wei Yan had made up his mind, and handed over 5,000 people to Chen Xiang, who led him to Tongguan, and led the elite of the Wei family to rush to Yiwu. The reason why Wei Yan will compromise is because Chen Xiang has a sentence that the Wei family has invested almost all the talents and material resources for this battle, and there are 5,000 Wei family soldiers among the 10,000 people behind him, who are all the strong men in the Wei family's trophies who can go into battle, including the craftsmen in various workshops. In order to equip these 5,000 people with weapons and armor, and prepare dry food, Mrs. Zhang even took out her own dowry and sold it at a discount.

It can be said that the Wei family is desperate this time and wins, of course, it is a million profits, and if they lose, they will never recover.

Wei Yan couldn't afford to pay, and was worried about Wei Ba's safety, so he decided to divide the troops, Chen Xiang led 5,000 people to Tongguan first, and he led the most elite 5,000 people to rush to Yiwu, meet Wei Ba, and pick up Zhao Yun from the Bao Slope. Without his response, in the face of the Wei army waiting in Taniguchi, Zhao Yun Zuihou might be able to come out, but it would definitely take a lot of time.

And what he needs most now is time, putting Zhao Yun's 10,000 people to use in advance, which will be of great help to the entire battlefield situation.

This is not the beginning of the design of the haode plan, but the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, how can it be possible to stick to the rules and stick to the law without knowing how to change. Wei Yan has such vision, as well as such courage and responsibility.

The 10,000 elites were immediately divided into two parts, one part led by Chen Xiang, and went straight to Tongguan. They were accompanied by hundreds of large ships laden with timber. These timbers were originally intended to be transported to Chencang, but they were intercepted by Wei Ba and transferred to Tongguan. Tongguan City is seriously damaged, and these timbers are indispensable if it is to be repaired to the point where it can be used as soon as possible to block the next counterattack of the Wei army.

Wei Ba suggested that Xiahou Mao "build high walls", and the heaviest of them was Tongguan. It's just that Tongguan can't be repaired. It can only be prepared in secret.

Wei Yan then rushed to Yiwu with 5,000 men, and he heard Chen Xiang say that the 1,000 Wei troops from Tongguan were not far in front of him. Wei Yan decided. Eat these thousand people first, and then use their banners and seals to rush to Yiwu in search of an opportunity to raid.

The scouts quickly sent back the news that a thousand Wei troops were in Xiaohuaili ahead. It was only fifty miles away from them. Wei Yan looked at the sky and ordered the whole army to march quickly.

Many of Wei Jiawu's soldiers have been to Guanzhong on a mission, and they are not unfamiliar with the terrain of Guanzhong. The map of Guanzhong in Wei Yan's hand was no worse than the one in Xiahou Mao's hand, and when he arrived in Guanzhong, he was no different from arriving at home. Throwing off the five thousand soldiers who were slightly weaker, the Wei family soldiers were finally able to do their best, and they used the moonlight to walk through the mountains and forests, like tigers walking at night.

At dawn. Wei Yan rushed to the valley west of Xiaohuaili City, and after checking the terrain, he arranged an ambush point, and everyone immediately entered the battle position, and then began to rest and eat. Order. The soldiers sat down on the position, took dry food and light wine from their backs, and quickly ate to replenish their strength.

Wei Yan also sat down after inspecting the position, took out two large cakes from the dry food bag on his body, took a bite, and looked at the large piece of salted meat sandwiched in the cake, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed. In order to prepare the dry food for this march, Mrs. Zhang slaughtered almost all the livestock that could be slaughtered in the Wei family's manor, and all the meat that could be eaten was also used by them. Since last winter, Mrs. Zhang has been hoarding salted meat, and for this march, they have not even been able to eat it with an open stomach for the New Year. At the time, he was a little strange, but later learned that Mrs. Zhang had marinated most of the meat, in order to keep them fed and to reduce the weight of the dry food as much as possible, and at the same weight, carrying such a patty could last twice as long as a pure wheat cake.

Of course, the price of doing so is also staggering, the most direct manifestation of which is that the Wei family can't even find a single shredded meat now, and all the left-behind personnel, including Mrs. Zhang, can only eat vegetarian food.

The price has been paid enormously, and the effect is very obvious. Eating this kind of cake with salted meat may not only replenish physical strength, but also save the time of cooking on the fire, which also reduces the chance of being detected by the enemy. Five thousand people crouched in the recess, but they did not emit a single firework, and without looking closely, it was almost difficult to find these warriors hiding in the recess.

After eating breakfast in two bites, many soldiers seized the time to take a nap and prepare for the next battle. Wei Yan didn't sleep. He hid behind a boulder and looked at the official road in the distance, from where a thousand Wei troops would appear, and the first battle into Guanzhong was about to begin. However, he didn't worry about this, he was concerned about Wei Ba in Hewu.

From Chen Xiang's relayed words, Wei Yan felt something unusual.

Wei Yan didn't know Zhuge Liang's specific arrangements. After he was "demoted", he stayed in the Wei family manor, making various preparations for the upcoming surprise attack, including training military soldiers, getting used to new equipment, etc., when he was called to Weiyang, Zhuge Liang had already made arrangements, he just obeyed orders.

He originally thought that since Zhuge Liang was going to take his Meridian Valley Jihua, the main force should enter Hanzhong from the Bao Slope Road. Now there is only Zhao Yun in the Bao Slope Road, so where is Zhuge Liang and where is the main force of the Shu army? Is it really as Wei Ba said, he went to Longyou? Was the news that Wei Ba heard was wrong, or did Zhuge Liang not march according to the original Jihua at all, and had a new arrangement, but he didn't have time to inform him?

Wei Yan didn't think deeply, he was not the kind of person who was good at figuring out people's hearts, he only cared about the current battlefield situation. Since Zhuge Liang's main force is not in the Baochuan Road, the next battle in Guanzhong is completely different, and the only people who can use it are him and Zhao Yun, 20,000 people.

This is also one of the reasons why he insisted on taking Zhao Yun out first. Without the main force led by Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun's 10,000 people would be in danger for one more day if they were delayed in the Bao Chuan Road.

"Daddy, you can rest for a while, I'll watch for you." Wei Wu walked over with a pot of water and handed it to Wei Yan.

"It's okay, I'm not tired." Wei Yan glanced at Wei Wu lovingly, took the water, raised his stomach, and poured a big mouthful. In the past year, Wei Wu's body has developed rapidly, and he has grown a lot, and he is already shoulder height. His physical fitness in martial arts since he was a child was also fully displayed, and after ten consecutive days of rapid marching on the Meridian Valley plank road, Wei Wu did not even shout a word of bitterness. "Ah Wu, it's the first time you're in battle, are you afraid?"

"Scared?" Wei Wu raised his eyebrows and rubbed his hands: "I've been looking forward to this day for a long time." Daddy, later, you have to let me rush to the front, I have to cut a few more heads, and I will be able to make meritorious contributions in the future. ”

"You also want to be a marquis?"

"Of course, Daddy, your title will be inherited by the eldest brother in the future, and I, like my brother, have to earn it on my own. My brain is not as good as my brother's, but my kung fu is better than his, of course, I have to rely on a knife to cut it. ”

"The courage of the horseman." Wei Yan spat and raised his hand to give Wei Wu a brain: "I only know what kind of merit I can make by slashing people with a knife, I have to use my brain more and think more about how to march and arrange the formation, this is the right thing to do as a general." Come, look at the terrain here, if it were you, how should you set it up? ”

Wei Wu touched his head and blinked his eyes: "Learn now?" ”

"Nonsense, where can I find such a haode opportunity?"

"Oh." Wei Wu replied a little dazedly, stood up from his hiding place, and hastily surveyed the terrain of the entire burial area. He was now so bent on cutting off more heads that he didn't care about the terrain at all, and he didn't know how rare such an opportunity was. At a time when most of the knowledge has to be passed down from home, how lucky it is to have a father who is a general to teach by hand.

Just when Wei Wu was struggling to study, the Wei army from Tongguan finally walked out of Xiaohuaili City. Although they knew that Xiahou Mao sent them to Hewu to stop the Shu army, they were all casual people, and Tongguan, as the pass in the interior of Cao Wei, had long since lost the tension of the year, and most of these people had not even experienced a major war. Hearing that there was a war ahead, they were more curious than nervous, and they were even more unhurried when they rushed to the road.

Even on the road, they were not in shape, and the general who led the team sat on his horse, picking his teeth and shaking his body, thinking back to the service of the prostitutes in the barracks last night, humming obscene words and tunes, and his eyes did not even bother to glance at the slopes on both sides.

In their opinion, even the Shu army in the Bao Slope is a suspicious soldier, what danger can there be here?

This relaxed and even almost debauched mentality of theirs has fatal consequences for them. When they entered the encirclement, Wei Yan stood up from his hiding place, drew his bow and arrows, and shot an arrow at the Wei general who was staggering on horseback.

The long arrow left the string, and the bagpipes on the shaft of the arrow were blown by the strong wind and let out a long and sharp sound. In the sound of a long roar, the soldiers of the Wei family stood up from their hiding places one after another, some drew their bows and arrows and shot at the targets they had already chosen, and some held swords and shields and rushed towards the enemy under the hillside. The hurried footsteps kicked the loess under his feet and lifted off the yellow dragons.

In an instant, arrows rained down and people flowed.

The Wei army was alarmed by the sudden shouting of killing, and immediately became a mess, and the unguarded Wei was shot by Wei Yan with an arrow, and he turned over and fell off his horse with a scream. His guards shouted and hugged him, dragged him with all hands and feet, turned around and ran. However, the situation was in chaos, and there were panicked soldiers everywhere, and in a hurry, there was no place to escape, and the most convenient place was Weishui, which was not far away.

"Kill!" Wei Yan put away his bow, drew his sword in his hand, snorted, and rushed down the hill.

"Kill-" Wei Wu screamed excitedly, raised a shield in one hand, danced a knife in the other, pulled out his legs and ran wildly, rushing into the enemy formation in front of Wei Yan, raising and falling with a knife in his hand, slashing over a Wei soldier with a spear in both hands, crashing into the Wei army's formation, slashing and killing, roaring like thunder.
