Three thousand Wei troops against eight thousand Shu troops.

It doesn't seem like there's much difference.

There is no shortage of classic battles in history where less wins more.

However, winning more with less depends on the specific environment, taking into account the various light and dark power comparisons, and the ability of the commanders of the two sides, in history, it is more about winning more than the few, and bullying the weak with the strong.

Although Xiahou Ba has a reputation for bravery, when he meets Jiang Wei, who is both wise and brave, he can only hold one head.

Yang Zheng attacked the Shu army several times, trying to open the gap to rescue Xiahouba, but was stopped by the Shu army in time.

Instead, Yang Zheng lost more than 20 brothers and more than 100 were injured.

Looking at the Shu army with strong walls and the cavalry that came after him, Yang Zheng knew that with the current strength in his hands, he would not be able to rescue Xiahou Ba after all.

The only one nearby who can save Xiahouba is Guo Huai.

The Shu army attacked in three ways and pinned down a lot of Wei troops at Chencang and Qishan Fort.

As a result, the local battlefield of Longxi was empty.

Usually, the person Yang Zheng is most afraid of seeing is Guo Huai.

But now I had to beg him.

Xiahou Ba is in danger, and he doesn't know how long he can resist.

Although Xiahou Ba was able to run away alive in history, his arrival may have some butterfly effect.

If Xiahouba finishes playing in advance, where will he go?

This is a practical consideration.

Another layer of consideration is the relationship with Xiahouba.

Soldiers have been the most righteous since ancient times, and the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by springs.

Seeing Xiahouba being swallowed up by Jiang Wei and being indifferent, Yang Zheng really couldn't do it.

After thinking about it, I could only go to Guo Huai.

If this battle is not contained by Xiahou Ba in the back, whether Guo Huai can return to Xiangwu safely is two words.

In public and private, Guo Huai will not refuse.

The military situation is like fire, and Guan Shan is flying.

Yang Zheng was in a hurry, and rode his horse to Xiangwu in the starry night.

The battle of Longma Mountain seemed fierce, but not many people actually died under the Shu saber.

Most were repelled by a flurry of arrows.

There were quite a few wounded in the city, but most of them were minor.

The seriously injured could not escape back to Xiangwu under the pursuit of the Hubu Army.

Many Yongliang soldiers know Yang Zheng, so naturally they are not less troubled, for the sake of Xiahouba, Yang Zheng can only endure it.

"General Xiahou is trapped in the can, begging the former general to send reinforcements quickly!" In the lobby of the Chinese army, Yang Zheng lowered his head.

I waited for a long time, but no one answered.

Yang Zheng's heart sank, and his tone of voice couldn't help but be a little eager, "Ask Guo Jianshi to rescue my general." ”

"Presumptuous!" The next general on the left scolded loudly, "To save or not to save, Guo Tingshi has his own clear judgment, why do you need to talk too much like a nobody?" Someone pulled down and beat fifty sticks. ”

Immediately, two guards entered the room to mention Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng's heart sank directly to the bottom.

I knew that this trip would not go smoothly, but I didn't expect to even get in with it.

Beat fifty military sticks hard, even if you are lucky enough not to die, can you fight again?

Yang Zheng regretted not being at the beginning, it was better to wave the army to attack the Tiger Infantry Army, at least the horse leather shroud in a bright and upright manner.

Guo Huai is also a generation of famous generals, but his heart is so dark?

Just when Yang Zheng was about to be taken away by the guards, the person on the right coughed twice, "Slow." ”

Hu Fen came out and bowed his hand to Guo Huai: "General, please listen to the words of the last general." ”

To stabilize the face of the Hu family, Guo Huai still gave it, and bowed his head slightly.

"After General Xiahou is a national meritorious service, if he is taken advantage of by the Shu people, it will hurt the face of the country and deal a greater blow to the morale of our army. Hu Fen bypassed Yang Zheng and directly stated the pros and cons of this battle.

Guo Huai pondered for a few breaths, and said slowly: "Yes, General Xiahou must not be saved." ”

Hope ignited in Yang Zheng's heart.

"But not now, our army has been severely damaged by Shu thieves, and its morale is low, and it is not good for the army to attack at this time!"

Yang Zheng's hope was extinguished in a blink of an eye, and he was about to persuade again, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the corner of Hu Fen's eyes, and the warning was very strong.

Yang Zheng had to keep his mouth shut.

Hu Fen continued: "What the general said is very true. ”

There was no one in the hall to speak.

The two guards stood behind Yang Zheng, waiting for the final verdict.

Guo Huai stood up and paced back and forth for two steps, "Li Jian listens to orders!" ”

The first one on the left will come out with a fist, "The last will be." ”

"You lead 500 troops into Zhongti with great fanfare."

"No!"

"Hu Fen listens to the order! You lead 2,000 troops into Lintao, defend the city, and don't have to fight with the Shu army! ”

"No!"

Five hundred plus two thousand?

These forces were obviously unable to rescue Xiahou Ba.

An army is out of Zhongti, and an army is in Lintao, which means to block the Shu army.

But if Xiahou Ba is broken by the Shu army, can such a small number of troops really block Jiang Wei?

Yang Zheng couldn't help but feel worthless for Xiahou Ba, if he didn't send troops to attack the Shu army at that time, Jiang Wei might not return to the army to bite him to death.

He is upright and upright, but others may not be so generous.

Today's events are the same as when Sima Yi borrowed a knife to kill Zhang He.

And Guo Huai has been under Sima Yi for many years, so it is inevitable that he will be exposed to it......

"As for you!" Guo Huai's majestic eyes stared at Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng knew that the time had come to decide his fate.

The generals in the hall were also looking at Guo Huai.

Yang Zheng had an idea, expecting others to save his life, it was better to take the initiative himself, so he said loudly: "General Guo rescued Fengzhong, and his subordinates were willing to accept military law!" ”

This is a strategy of retreat.

With Guo Huai's character, strong words will only anger him.

On the contrary, it is appropriate to be soft and have a glimmer of life.

Regardless of the danger, he asked for reinforcements for Xiahouba, Guo Huai killed himself at this time, and in front of the generals and colonels of Yongliang, it was inevitable that he would leave a handle.

A complicated look flashed in Guo Huai's eyes.

As if hesitating, as if appreciating.

"General, this person is quite loyal." The first in the right column can't help but stand up and make his debut.

Yongliang people, since ancient times.

Yang Zheng squinted at this person from the corner of his eye, the rugged face unique to the Northwest people, and there was a sharp glint in his eyes when he was closed.

Guo Huai said in a deep voice: "Since Guo Xiao pleaded first, let him go." ”

Guo Xiaoxian?

Yang Zheng thought back to this name, could it be Liangzhou Guo Dun?

This person is known for his meritorious deeds, and his famous works are in Xizhou, and he is respected by both Yi and Han.

"Thank you, General." Yang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed his hand to Guo Huai, and then to Guo Dun.

Guo Dun bowed slightly.

Yang Zheng no longer had hope for reinforcements.

Walking out of the lobby of the Chinese army and going to a secluded place, Hu Fen's voice came from behind, "Xingyun stays." ”

Yang Zheng is naturally extremely grateful to Hu Fen.

"Thank you, General Hu."

Hu Fen said: "General Guo will not sit idly by and watch Longxi fall to the Shu people. ”

The second half of this sentence is that he will not easily send troops to rescue Xiahouba.

Yang Zheng knew in his heart that without Xiahouba's Longxi, there would be no place for Yang Zheng.

"Thank you, General, for reminding me."

Hu Fen looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and it happened that a young general rushed over, "The military situation is urgent, why is my brother moving here?" ”

This person looks similar to Hu Fen six or seven points, and should be Hu Fen's brother Hu Lie, but his expression is more arrogant.

Yang Zheng arched his hand at him, but unexpectedly he turned his face to the side, as if he didn't see Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng inevitably smiled bitterly in his heart.

The Hu family is the leading wealthy family in the northwest, and it is normal to look down on themselves.

Not everyone can be friends.

Hu Fen really cared about Yang Zheng, didn't pay attention to the slight disagreement between the two, and said to Yang Zheng: "Xingyun take care." ”

"General Hu also take care."

Watching the two brothers walk away, Yang Zheng walked alone in Xiangwu City, and couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

The road ahead is really difficult, where will I go?

Even if Xiahou Ba doesn't fall and survives by luck, after this heavy blow, his strength has been greatly reduced, can he still gain a firm foothold in Longxi?

When I was depressed, I suddenly saw the front shouting and scolding, as if I was beating in a group.

Yang Zheng is not in the mood to watch the excitement now.

I was about to make a detour, when I suddenly saw the Qiang, E, and Di people rolling around, fighting with each other, making a mess, and I didn't know what they were fighting.

The Qiang people are numerous, fierce, and extremely united, even if they are beaten down, gritted their teeth and stood up, and continue to fight, the Qiang people soon gained the upper hand, forming a crushing momentum against the Qiang and Di.

Qiang?

Yang Zheng's heart moved.

Longxi can save Xiahou Ba, in addition to Guo Huai, there are actually Qiang people!
