Quiet as a virgin, moving as a rabbit.

Zhang He, who has fought all his life, not only did this, but also went further, when he was quiet, he was like a crouching tiger sleeping lion, although he was lazy, but people did not dare to take it lightly, did not dare to offend easily, and when he moved, he was like a tiger going down the mountain, a lion fighting a rabbit, and going all out. He not only competes with his opponents in battle, but also competes with his opponents in all aspects, and the act of camping on the battlefield like this is a psychological contest between the generals of both sides.

It's so close, of course, it's impossible to sleep peacefully. At a distance of two hundred paces, if you run with all your might, you can reach it with only a few dozen breaths, and you can shoot at each other with a strong crossbow even in this formation.

Confrontation at such a close distance is a kind of psychological torment for anyone, let alone resting, I am afraid that I will not even dare to breathe for the atmosphere, for fear that in the blink of an eye, the enemy will rush up.

Jiang Wei's retreat of the main force was completely an instinct, an instinct to stay away from danger.

Zhang He overcame this instinct and seized the opportunity. As soon as Jiang Wei's battle flag moved, he immediately ordered the soldiers who had rested in the rear for a day to start attacking.

There are 20,000 Shu Han troops and 30,000 Wei troops, in a narrow valley, it is impossible to put so many people at once, and the soldiers who really face each other add up to only two or three thousand people, and most of them are resting and watching the battle.

Tian Yu has been leading 10,000 people to rest away from the battle array. Now, it's time for him to go into battle.

After a hard day, I just took a breath, I thought I could live one more day, but I didn't expect Wei Jun to be forced under his nose and not leave, and Shu Hanjun was already a little drumming in his heart. Jiang Wei retreated the main force. There is no way to do it, and the 3,000 people who stayed in front of the battle to monitor can only consider themselves unlucky. But what they didn't expect was that the unlucky thing was not just that they couldn't sleep well, but that they had to continue fighting.

Facing the Wei army that rushed over, the Shu Han army was shocked and immediately ordered to prepare for battle, and at the same time sounded the war drums for help.

The battle began immediately, Tian Yu personally commanded in front of the battle, and the brothers Tian Fu and Tian Yi took turns to go into battle, rushing and fighting. The shouts of killing shook the sky. In one breath, he attacked in front of the Shu Han army.

Before Jiang Wei could take off his armor, he heard the alarm in front of him and was taken aback. He hurriedly put on his armor and helmet. Rushed to the front with the battalion of personal guards.

Look at the battle in front of the battle. Jiang Wei was dumbfounded. His gaze looked at the Wei army in the distance. Cao Zhi is crazy, is Zhang He also crazy, or are the monarchs and ministers of Wei all crazy?

It's not easy to fight a madman. Jiang Wei sighed. While organizing the defense, he also sent an urgent military report to Zhuge Liang: Zhang He's attack is rapid, please prepare for the response.

……

Almost at the same time, Huo Yi of Chencang, Zhao Guang of Longguan, and Jiang Wei of Liupan Mountain all issued emergency alarms to Zhuge Liang. For a time, the big camp in Wangxian County became a gathering place for news from different directions. The generals did not know exactly what was going on, but they could sense the tension of the war from the back and forth of the messengers.

However, Zhuge Liang has not given the order to act, except for Guan Xing and Zhang Jing who led 5,000 people out of the camp, the rest of the army has been standing still, maintaining inexplicable quiet. It's like the center of a storm, and there's an unsettling calm.

Many people asked to see Zhuge Liang, hoping to understand the progress of the war through Zhuge Liang's words or the change in his expression, but they were all blocked without exception, and no one could see Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang sent out a message to prepare them for battle, but he didn't say when to leave. They had no choice, so they all came to see Xiang Lang.

At this moment, the only person who can probably make Zhuge Liang give some face is Xiang Lang, an old minister of the Jingxiang family.

Facing the successive visitors, Xiang Lang could no longer read with peace of mind, so he had to come to Zhuge Liang's big tent to ask for a meeting.

asked Lang to see him, Zhuge Liang was very face-saving, and personally greeted the big tent. He did not wear armor or the crown of the prime minister, but wore a crown of Jinxian, a snow-white spring shirt, and a white feather fan.

"Xiang Gong, why didn't you do anything and come to chat with me?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile, holding Xiang Lang's hand, "Since you're here, let's go to the waterside for a walk." ”

Xiang Lang glanced at Zhuge Liang: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

The two walked out of the camp side by side, and those who had always wanted to see Zhuge Liang but couldn't see him saw Zhuge Liang walking calmly from a distance, and occasionally heard his hearty laughter, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at it this way, those news should not be bad news, otherwise the prime minister would not have been so easy.

The atmosphere in the camp unconsciously calmed down.

Xiang Lang's mood was not easy at all, because now except for Zhuge Liang and a few cronies, he was the only one who knew the truth about the war. Zhuge Liang relayed the situation without changing his face, but Xiang Lang almost bit his tongue.

In response to Xiang Lang's consternation, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "Xiang Gong, are you worried about me?" ”

Xiang Lang shook his head again and again: "How can I be worried about the prime minister." It's just that there are enemies on three sides, and if there is an accident in one place, the consequences will be very serious. ”

Zhuge Liang raised his head, looked at the undulating Zhongnan Mountain, and was stunned for a while, then smiled: "In Xianggong's opinion, which place will be more dangerous?" ”

Xiang Lang pondered for a moment: "Longshan." ”

Zhuge Liang echoed: "Xiang Gong is really an old man, and he can see the key point at a glance." Longshan is indeed the most dangerous, Zhao Guang only has 2,000 people, tens of thousands of Qiang people are gathered in the area of Luoyang, once killed to Longguan, Zhao Guang is indeed difficult to resist. However, the Qiang people will not attack the city, and Longguan is strong, even if the Qiang people are numerous, they will only take advantage of it at the beginning, and I believe that Zhao Guang can hold on. ”

Xiang Lang's brows frowned slightly: "Then the prime minister is waiting here for good news?" ”

"Good news?" Zhuge Liang blinked: "Can I wait for good news?" ”

"Then how can the prime minister defeat the enemy?"

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a word." Zhuge Liang laughed softly, waved the feather fan in his hand, and glanced at Xiang Lang: "Xiang Gong, do you think Cao Zhi can attack Chen Cang?" ”

Xiang Lang shook his head: "Although Chen Cang is small, he is very solid, Huo Yi and Liao Hua are both stable people. If Cao Zhi attacked at any cost, he would probably only consume more than 10,000 foot soldiers in Chen Cang, which would definitely not be his goal. ”

"Then what will be Cao Zhi's goal?"

Xiang Lang groaned for a long time. "Either Wei Wenchang of Hewu, or the prime minister."

"Do you think Wen Chang will be fooled?"

Xiang Lang's eyes flashed, and he also laughed: "The prime minister is really clever, and he responds to all changes with no change." Wei Wenchang is the best at surprise soldiers, if he makes a move, even Cao Zhi may not be able to dodge. If he is not sure, of course he will hide in the dock and not come out. The prime minister refused to move lightly, so there was no point in Cao Zhi attacking Chen Cang. In this way, his only chance is to go north and directly accept Zhang He's entry into the customs. ”

Zhuge Liang looked at Xiang Lang with a smile and didn't say a word.

"Cao Zhi has no logistical supplies, and he can't plunder, even if he goes west to Linwei and doesn't have warships, he can't go upstream. He had no choice but to go north, either take the initiative to challenge the prime minister, or bypass the prime minister and drive five or six hundred miles to attack Jiang Wei. In that case, he should already be on his way. Prime Minister, you are ruling with quiet, waiting for work, and waiting for Cao Zhi to send it to the door. ”

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan, pointed to the floating clouds in the sky, and smiled slightly: "Xiang Gong is right, but it is just to respond to all changes with the same." Everyone in the world knows that the clouds are rolling and the changes are unprovoked, but they don't know the changes of the clouds, only the wind. The wind, the gentleman, the cloud, and the villain. The gentleman drums it, and the villain responds to it. ”

Xiang Lang sighed in admiration: "The prime minister is really wise, and he can't do it." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head with a smile, and was about to speak, when Yang Wei rushed over panting. After Huo Yi went to Chen Cang, he replaced Huo Yi and handled clerical matters for Zhuge Liang. However, he was obviously not as steady as Huo Yi, and he didn't know what news he received, he ran sweating profusely and panting like a cow.

Zhuge Liang frowned and put away his smile: "What's the matter?" ”

"Prime Minister, Chen Cang is in a hurry, Cao Zhi has gone north."

Zhuge Liang's pale sword eyebrows were raised, and he immediately opened the military newspaper and took a quick look. His eyes flashed, and he sneered: "Cao Zijian finally can't sit still, this time, I'll see where else he can run." Command, all arms for war! ”

Yang Wei was stunned for a moment, then jumped up and replied loudly: "Huh." Without waiting to finish, he turned around and ran. Zhuge Liang frowned, turned around, but said to Xiang Lang with a smile on his face: "Xiang Gong, look, as you said, we don't need to walk, Cao Zijian took the initiative to send it to the door." ”

He bowed to Lang: "The prime minister is smart, Lang admires." ”

……

Cao Zhi led the war horse and was hurrying with the army.

He didn't attack Chen Cang. Although Chencang City is small, it is very strong, and judging from the situation of the city defense, the guards in the city are also quite disciplined, and there are no obvious flaws. The possibility of attacking the city in the short term is very small. What's more important is that his goal is not Chen Cang, but to attract Wei Yan in Yiwu or Zhuge Liang in Wangxian County, but none of these two people came, one hid in Yiwu and the other stayed in Huangxian, and there was no intention of rescuing Chen Cang at all, so Xiahou Babai, who was waiting on the side, waited for three days.

Therefore, Cao Zhi made a quick decision, gave up Chen Cang, and decisively went north.

Receiving Zhang He's main force to enter the customs is his ultimate goal. With only his more than 10,000 cavalry and no logistical supplies, it is impossible for him to occupy Guanzhong. In fact, the life of this army is counting down all the time, and with each day of delay, it is one step closer to death.

Of course, Cao Zhi is not willing to do this, he is going to die, and he also wants to fight Zhuge Liang before he dies to create a little opportunity for Zhang He.

Therefore, he led the army and went straight to Wangxian
