The battle in the lobby was violent and short, and the reason why so many people died was because both sides were the elite of the elite, and either they didn't make a move, or they didn't show mercy. If you can't kill the other party at the first time, you will die the next moment.

Wei Ba deceived the corpse and captured Xiahou Hui, and the battle in the hall ended quickly, but the battle under the city had just begun. Xu Ran was ordered by Xiahou Hui to abandon the outer city and defend the inner city. His soldiers are also veterans with rich combat experience, but unfortunately the opponents they encountered are too strong, as soon as they saw the guards in the city move, the Wei family soldiers knew that they were exposed, and without saying a word, they seized the city gate first, and at the same time beat the war drums.

As soon as the war drums sounded, the Wei family soldiers hiding outside the city quickly rushed towards Yiwu, and under the response of their companions disguised as the defenders of Tongguan, they rushed to various strategic points in an orderly manner, and entered the inner city like mercury.

Although Xu Ran fought desperately, he couldn't stop more and more Wei family soldiers, seeing that Xiahou Mao had gone out of the north gate, and the shouting and killing in the city had stopped, but he couldn't see the shadow of Xiahou Hui, he no longer loved to fight, and led his men to fight and retreat. At the north gate, he personally led his foot soldiers to block the city gate, preventing the enemy from rushing out of the city gate and covering Xiahou Mao's escape.

Of course, Wei Yan would not notice the north gate of Yiwu. It's just that he didn't have cavalry, in order to avoid exposing his whereabouts prematurely, the ambush position he arranged was more than five miles away from the north gate of Yiwu, and seeing the city gate wide open, Xiahou Mao rushed out of the city surrounded by more than a hundred knights, but he didn't have time to stop it, so he could only watch Xiahou Mao rush away.

This is the shortcoming of the Shu Han army, there is no cavalry, if you can't intercept the other party in time, you can only watch the other party leave.

Xiahou Mao ran away under the protection of the cavalry, but Yiwu indisputably fell into the hands of Wei Yan. In order to buy time for Xiahou Mao, Xu Ran also lost the opportunity to escape and became a prisoner like Xiahou Hui.

Solved Xu Ran. Wei Yan strode to the lobby, ignored the corpses strewn across the lobby, and glanced at Wei Ba. Seeing that he was talking and laughing and nothing serious, he asked, "Is it hurt?" ”

"A little flesh wound, out of the way." Wei Ba smiled: "Daddy came so fast. ”

"Saving soldiers is like fighting fire. How can it not be happy? Wei Yan smiled disapprerovingly: "Are you familiar with the situation in the dock?" ”

Wei Ba nodded and explained the situation roughly. After several transfers, the tiger left the mountain. There were only 500 of Xu Ran's and more than 200 armor soldiers from Xiahou Mao's side. Now that Xiahou Mao has run away and Xu Ran has been captured, there is no liliang in Yiwu who really belongs to Cao Wei. Those people who assisted in defending the city were forcibly recruited by Xiahou Mao, delaying the agricultural time, and hating Xiahou Mao so much that they would not be loyal to Cao Wei. What's more, there are still some people who were instructed by Wei Ba and arranged by Zhao Su and them.

"Then I'll leave you a thousand. You hold the dock, and I will go to pick up General Zhao out of the valley. ”

"Daddy, you must be tired from a long run, so I'd better go."

Wei Yan sneered: "Boy." I'm not old enough to get tired of running a few steps, and if you want to take power, you'd better wait a few more years. ”

Wei Ba is very embarrassed, where is this, I just want to show filial piety, but I don't mean to rob you of military power.

Seeing Wei Ba's embarrassment, Wei Yan couldn't help but smile, raised his arms, and the iron armor on his body rattled, as if he was laughing: "I ran all the way from Hanzhong, that is, I moved my muscles and bones in Xiaohuai, where will I be tired." You are familiar with the situation in Hewu, guard Hewu, prepare the banquet, I will go to the event, pick up General Zhao, and then come to talk to you. ”

Wei Ba was helpless, so he had to nod and agree. Wei Yan immediately left a thousand soldiers for Wei Ba, and he ran to the Baochuan crossing with four thousand men.

Wei Ba was not polite, and arranged the defense of Yiwu in the lobby where Xiahou Mao had worked before. During his time in Hewu, he was already clear about the structure of Hewu, Xiahou Mao left in a hurry, and documents such as maps were readily available, but some of them were stained with blood, and they didn't look very clear.

As soon as Wei Ba arranged the defense affairs, Zhao Su arrived. As soon as he entered the door, he arched his hand with a smile on his face and said: "Hexi, Hehe, joining the army is really a clever plan, and even such a strong castle as Hewu has been conquered in one fell swoop." ”

Wei Ba picked at the bloody mud in his nails and said, "Conquer it in one fell swoop? You don't know, my little life is almost gone. Wei Ba gestured to the blood stains next to Zhao Suzao: "I was lying there just now, lying in the middle of a pile of corpses. ”

Zhao Su's face changed, and then he stroked his heart again, and said seriously: "That's really dangerous." If you join the army, what are the three strengths and two weaknesses, but the world? ”

Wei Ba couldn't help but snort: "If I die, there will be no loss in the world, and the loss will be you, Master Zhao, right?" ”

Zhao Su hahadaxiao: "It's the same, I'm also a part of the world." After laughing a few words, he said again: "Join the army, what to do next?" ”

Wei Ba muttered: "The top priority is to conquer Chang'an and occupy Tongguan, and the second is to harvest in the autumn. If we can't occupy Tongguan, we can't stop Cao Wei's reinforcements, and without food, we can't hold on, the two are one. ”

Zhao Su nodded again and again: "Then grab it now?" ”

"Yes, we will do the war, and I will leave the food to you." Wei Ba said: "After the autumn harvest, we can't be idle, we need them to help defend the city." I have already told you the conditions, and I will never break my word, and you can rest assured of this. ”

Zhao Su said with a smile: "Joining the army, I can trust you, otherwise I wouldn't have run to Guanzhong to contact the believers of the Heavenly Master Dao because of your words." By the way, things have come to this point, shouldn't you also meet the people of the Heavenly Master? ”

"It's nature." Wei Ba thought for a while, and then said: "I don't just want to meet the people of the Heavenly Master Dao, I am willing to meet anyone who is interested in cooperating with me." It doesn't matter if he was originally from Hanzhong or Guanzhong. ”

Zhao Su's eyes flashed, and just as he was about to speak, Wei Ba said again: "Gongpu, Guanzhong is known as Qinchuan for eight hundred miles, even if you move the entire Hanzhong over, there will be no problem." What we lack now is not the land, but the people, to be able to unite with the heroes and strong in Guanzhong, which is conducive to stabilizing Guanzhong as soon as possible, and only by stabilizing Guanzhong can we gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong and have interests at all. ”

Zhao Su was confused by Wei Ba's words, and smiled embarrassedly: "What I said when I joined the army is very true, I am short-sighted and think poorly." ”

"Haha, don't be modest, I know you have the ability, Bixia will be the capital of Guanzhong in the future, and this Jing Zhaoyin is indispensable to you."

Hearing Wei Ba's words, Zhao Su couldn't help but smile. He worked so hard to come to Guanzhong from Hanzhong, didn't he just want to get more benefits. Although he is good and doesn't value these riches very much, the Zhao family in Hanzhong needs these worldly riches very much, and for these things, his fierce-eyed grandfather is willing to take a few more children and grandchildren to gamble. Now that everything he is looking forward to is in front of him, even he, a person who is not very enthusiastic about power, is a little excited, and he is full of energy in everything he does.

Zhao Su immediately invited Zhang Wen, Wei Ba and Zhang Wen had a brief exchange, reiterating his promise to Zhao Su at the beginning, as long as Zhang Wen can mobilize the Heavenly Master Dao people in Guanzhong and help him defend Guanzhong, in the future, Heavenly Master Dao can preach openly and honestly in Guanzhong, and he, Zhang Wen, can also become the head of Guanzhong, and may even become the real helmsman of Heavenly Master Dao after Zhang Lu in the future.

After receiving Wei Ba's personal promise, Zhang Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Wei Ba was only a small prime minister's mansion to join the army, he skillfully used means to take Hewu in one fell swoop. Now Zhuge Liang's main force is fighting the Wei army led by Longyou and Guo Huai, the Wei army in Guanzhong was defeated, and the leading general of the Shu army is Wei Ba's father, Zhenbei General Wei Yan, and the other is Wei Ba's master, Zhendong General Zhao Yun.

Zhang Wen left with a thousand thanks. Wei Ba breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about what was next. With Daddy and Master attacking from both sides, the 5,000 Wei troops at the Baochuan crossing will definitely not have a chance to turn around. With the arrival of Yiwu, there will be a hard bone of Chang'an left in Guanzhong. Xiahou Mao ran away unexpectedly, if nothing else, he would definitely go to Chang'an. Chang'an also has 2,000 elite, strong cities, if you want to attack strongly, it will inevitably take time and energy, and it is not an ideal choice. How to take Chang'an as soon as possible has become something he must consider.

And also...... Rescue Peng Xiaoyu, who was imprisoned by Xiahou Hui.

Thinking of Peng Xiaoyu, Wei Ba's mood was a little complicated. In fact, Xiahou Hui was right, the reason why he kept Peng Xiaoyu by his side and stayed in Chang'an was indeed to use Peng Xiaoyu to cover him. He values Peng Xiaoyu and treats her as a confidant, just to make her cover more effective.

Now everything is similar to his Jihua, but he didn't expect Peng Xiaoyu to be recognized by Xiahou Hui so soon, and he was arrested and tortured in prison, almost missing his big event. It's just that Xiahou Hui said that Peng Xiaoyu exposed his true face, but Wei Ba didn't believe it at all, not only because he knew that Peng Xiaoyu didn't know anything about his deception, but also because of Xiahou Hui's performance, if Peng Xiaoyu really exposed him, Xiahou Hui didn't need to test him at all, just take it directly.

To put it cruelly, Peng Xiaoyu is the shell of his golden cicada when he wants to get out of his shell, but he is just a dog, no different from the furniture he purchased, it is just a cover. Her life and death were not in his care. But he didn't know Weishenme, when he heard Xiahou Hui say that Peng Xiaoyu was in prison, he was a little uncomfortable, so much so that he almost lost his temper at that time and said cruel words such as retribution to Xiahou Hui. If it weren't for the fact that Xiahou Hui was also a little uneasy at that time, and Xiahou Mao had been bewitched by him, maybe he would have revealed more flaws.

Now that Xiahou Hui has become his prisoner, in the dark, he has also confirmed those cruel words about retribution. But he was unwilling and didn't want to stop there, even if he knew that attacking Chang'an was not a wise decision, he couldn't give up this idea as calmly as he hoped.

But how can I conquer Chang'an and rescue her?
