In fact, Sun Li did not receive any specific battle report about Chen Cangdao.

In his eyes, the entire Guanzhong, that is, Cao Zhen and Zhang He, can talk to him on an equal footing, and even Zhang He is just because he is an old minister, Xiahou Nan gives some face, which does not mean that Zhang He is higher than himself in status.

Da Wei nobles are so proud!!

Therefore, whether it was Sun Li, Guo Huai, or Zhuge Qian, Xiahou Nan didn't pay attention to it, and naturally it was impossible to send them any battle report.

When Chen Cangcheng was attacked by the Shu army, Xiahou Nan did send a war report to Cao Zhen in Chang'an, but he did not notify Sun Li, who was not far behind him, let alone Guo Huai, who was in Wuzhangyuan.

But even if Sun Li didn't receive any battle reports from Chen Cang, it didn't mean that Sun Li didn't notice the changes in Chen Cangdao.

After all, in addition to Cao Zhen's use of the wrong Xiahou Nan, the other generals who were brought to Chang'an by him, regardless of their age, all had real skills.

Sun Li came to the conclusion that there was a change in Chen Cangdao through the news sent back by the scouts sent to Chen Cangdao during this time, and after carefully analyzing the information.

But even if Sun Li had already analyzed that Chen Cangdao had changed, Sun Li still didn't dare to act rashly until he saw a specific battle report or obvious evidence to support it.

Sun Li's side is also the front line, and in front of the Sanguan is the 20,000 Yongliang soldiers led by Zhao Yun, and Sun Li is also responsible for the mission of sticking to the Sanguan, and he can't leave without permission.

Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Cangdao is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if there is a police for a while, it is not so easy to be attacked, although Sun Li is a little worried, but he does not think that Chen Cangdao will be lost in a short time.

Sun Li is not sure what Xiahou Nan's ability is, but no matter what Sun Li thinks, with the terrain advantage of Chen Cang, it should not be a big problem to hold it for twenty days or even a month.

As long as he holds on for such a long time, Cao Zhendu, the governor of Chang'an, will definitely send reinforcements. It is unlikely that Chen Cang will be lost.

But the development of events after that was completely beyond Sun Li's expectations.

As the battle reports sent back by the scouts became more and more outrageous, there were even Sanguan scouts who found a large number of defeated soldiers of the Cao army behind Chen Cangdao to Sanguan, and there were even scouts under the banner of the Shu army. Sun Li really couldn't sit still now.

What the hell happened to Chen Cangdao?! What the hell is Xiahou Nan doing?!

Sun Li's identity and status doomed Sun Li to be unable to write directly to ask Xiahou Nan, but the scouts of the Shu army had already crossed Chen Cangcheng and were almost close to the back of Sanguan, this Chen Cangdao was still not in Xiahou Nan's hands, and Sun Li didn't dare to report too much hope.

This doesn't require much thinking, and anyone with a little military common sense can judge it.

Therefore, as early as two days ago, Sun Li wrote a secret letter to Cao Zhen based on his own judgment on the current Chen Cangdao to the front line of Sanguan, and issued a warning to Chang'an.

But that's all Sun Li can do.

After all, Sun Li also has his own responsibilities, and he can't lose his pass. He didn't get a first-hand report on the battle situation of Chen Cang, because he didn't know the specific situation of Chen Cang, Sun Li never dared to make any moves.

But today, as Zhao Yun outside the pass launched another siege, Sun Li received a reconnaissance report from the scouts behind the pass.

The report said that at the place where Chen Cangdao entered Guanzhong, the banner of Xiahou Nan and a large number of Wei soldiers were found in the rapid march and retreat, and behind these Wei troops, there were also soldiers of the Shu army banner chasing and killing all the way, with a strength of no less than 1,000 people, and the distance between the two was only ten miles. It would be strange if Sun Li could sit still.

The Shu army is already about to follow Xiahou Nan's army into the pass, and Xiahou Nan is obviously defeated and fleeing. Chen Cangdao must have been lost.

How did Xiahou Mao do it?! How many days has he been guarding Chencang?!

Sun Li really wanted to ask Xiahou Nan face to face, with the geographical advantage of Chen Cang, how did you manage to lose Chen Cang so quickly. But alas, now is not the time for such nonsense.

Sun Li knew very well that once Chen Cangdao was lost, it meant that Sanguan could be besieged by the Shu army on both sides at any time.

It's really no joke.

If it is simply from the perspective of guarding the pass, although Sun Li is worried, it is not necessarily that there is no way.

After all, the pass is strong, even if it is attacked on both sides, as long as the food is enough, it is a big deal to let all the soldiers retreat to the pass, and it is not a problem to continue to hold on for a period of time, as long as the governor of Chang'an Cao Zhendu comes to help in time, it is not impossible to break the siege.

But what Sun Li really realized was that once the Shu army left Chencang Road and entered Guanzhong, Meixian County, which bore the brunt, should be done? !

That place is the grain storage point of the Cao army on the entire Guanzhong front.

Now it is no longer important to disperse the pass, once Meixian is lost, the back road of Guo Huai's army, which is still fighting on the front line of Wuzhangyuan, will be cut off, and the Shu army of Baochuan Road will take advantage of the situation to enter the Guanzhong danger!!

Sun Li's strategic vision is not many grades higher than Xiahou Nan, and Xiahou Nan still hasn't figured out what kind of impact the Shu army will have on the entire Guanzhong battle once it breaks through Chencang Road and breaks into Guanzhong.

In other words, at this time, Xiahou Nan did not have the heart to consider these issues at all.

Because, the Shu army behind him is chasing too closely.

Xiahou Nan didn't dare to relax for a moment, for fear of being captured by the Shu army, or even more unlucky, and dying directly in the chaos.

In the direction of Chencang Road, Xiahou Nan led nearly 3,000 soldiers to retreat from Chencang City overnight, retreating all the way, trying to go to Meixian County to rest As long as he arrived in Meixian County, then Xiahou Nan would be safely withdrawn, and at that time, it would not be a shame to go to Chang'an alone to meet Cao Zhen.

But it is obvious that the Shu army behind Xiahou Nan did not intend to let Xiahou Nan withdraw so easily. Not long after dawn, the Shu army caught up.

And what made Xiahou Nan hate even more was that the general of the Shu army who pursued him was actually Zhuge Qian, who had just sold himself in Chencang City.

And what made Xiahou Nan even more sad was that when he found that Zhuge Qian, who was chasing him, only brought more than 1,000 people to pursue, Xiahou Nan tried to kill a wave of Zhuge Qian, but Zhuge Qian directly scattered his troops, if he hadn't run fast, he almost let Zhuge Qian be captured alive.

Xiahou Nan felt very sad, but Zhuge Qian felt very pity. If it weren't for the fear of affecting General Wei's tactics, this would really have a chance to directly capture Xiahou Nan alive.

In Chencang City, Wei Yan adopted Zhuge Qian's strategy and decided to pursue Xiahou Nan.

But the purpose is not to capture Xiahou Nan alive, but to chase Xiahou Nan, so that Xiahou Nan and the 3,000 soldiers he led will be exhausted and become frightened birds.

After chasing down Meixian County, we will fight out again, and strive to directly attack Meixian County.

Well, unless Wang Sheng, the guard general of Meixian County, dares to turn away the brother-in-law of the Great Wei Tianzi, otherwise, this tactic still has a great chance of success.

After the tactics were decided, Wei Yan led 7,000 soldiers to take the lead as usual, but this time there were more Zhuge Qian in the front army, and Wei Yan was kind enough to give Zhuge Qian a thousand soldiers to command, so that he could be the vanguard and open roads in the mountains and fill the bridges in the water.

As for the rest of the soldiers, Wu Ban divided 3,000 people to stay in Chencang City to ensure defense, leaving his lieutenant lieutenant and Xiang Lang's nephew Xiang Chong to garrison Chencang, and he took the remaining 10,000 people as backup, and also marched quickly to Meixian.

Zhuge Qian pursued all the way like this, trying to create a sense of urgency for the defeated Xiahou Nan army, but to Zhuge Qian's expectations, he had only been chasing for less than a day, and he had already seen the rear wing of Xiahou Nan's army.

In this regard, Zhuge Qian really can't understand this Xiahou Nan, are you really running for your life?!

You're running so slowly, because you're afraid that I won't be able to catch up?!

But soon, after Zhuge Qian observed the marching column and speed of the Wei army, he understood what was going on.

This Xiahou Nan did not even have the ability to lead 3,000 soldiers to march on the road, and under the leadership of Xiahou Nan, this group of soldiers did not have any marching army at all, and they were loose and scattered like a group of fleeing refugees.

Zhuge Qian didn't know whether he should attack directly, or hang it far away, and wait for Wei Yan's army to come over before dealing with it. With Xiahou Nan's marching speed, there is really no need to worry that he can run away.

Then Zhuge Qian found that Xiahou Nan actually stopped temporarily, and then the Wei soldiers took the initiative to attack him.

Well, this decision cannot be miscalculated.

In the face of a small number of pursuing troops, it is also a good way to retreat safely by temporarily counterattacking the retreating army, eating up this lone force of deep pursuers, and at the same time warning other pursuing troops.

But. Xiahou Nan, is this person really an idiot?!

When Zhuge Qian saw Xiahou Nan's counterattack formation, such a question really popped up in his mind.

Although Zhuge Qian knew that Xiahou Nan was courageless, unplanned, and incompetent, and even marched with 3,000 soldiers and could not be perfect. But no matter how Zhuge Qian thought about it, he didn't expect Xiahou Nan to launch a counterattack like this.

Normally speaking, the morale of the defeated army is not high, if you want to counterattack and break the pursuers, it should be to organize the soldiers who still have combat effectiveness to be mixed into a single assault force, and make a breakthrough accurately, just to repel the pursuers, but Xiahou Nan actually ordered the 3,000 soldiers he led to counterattack on the whole line without formation and organization.

Where is this counterattack, this is simply a rabbit running all over the mountains, in addition to being a mess, it is still a mess.

The Wei army has always been in defeat, morale is not high, and the march has no rules, it is impossible to quickly and effectively form a formation, and the counterattack is even more unfocused.

Under a burst of impact, Zhuge Qian easily broke the Wei army that was "counterattacking" head-on, and at the same time led his troops to approach Xiahou Nan's main formation.

And when Xiahou Nan saw that Zhuge Qian was so brave, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat regardless of it, at this time, it was less than a stick of incense when Xiahou Nan ordered the whole army to counterattack.

It's strange that such a quick change of order can make the soldiers react!!

What's even worse is that Xiahou Nan didn't wait for all the military orders to be conveyed to the whole army, nor did he organize the manpower to be cut off, but after the military order was issued, he directly took his own Chinese army battalion to escort hundreds of people and ran away first. The rest of the soldiers, running and scattering, who would be stupid enough to take the initiative to fight with the Shu army!

Zhuge Qian now understands why Wei Yan has to let Xiahou Nan run away in the direction of Meixian, and how many soldiers he brought back to Meixian County are all to help.

In this case, Zhuge Qian naturally would not deliberately sabotage Wei Yan's tactics.

Zhuge Qian didn't pursue Xiahou Nan who fled at all, and began to collect the remnants of the Wei army all over the mountains and fields, and the main generals all ran away, and you guys are still a fart.

And Zhuge Qian, with this battle and the hundreds of Wei army captives gathered all over the mountains, the credit is not small.

The next thing is to let Xiahou Nan continue to run like this, if he can, he will also give him some time to collect the defeated soldiers, and when he gathers the defeated soldiers to a certain number, Zhuge Qian will do the same again.

What kind of enemy general is this, this is simply a walking experience package, a good person who specializes in providing military merits!!
