Outside Meixian County, fifty miles.

After five days of non-stop running, the current Xiahou Nan is covered with dust and extremely tired, how miserable and miserable, how embarrassed and embarrassed.

The war horse has long been gone, and the original beautiful armor has now been replaced by the leather armor of ordinary soldiers, if you don't look at the silk clothes worn by Xiahou Nan and the long sword at his waist, he really can't see that this is the commander of an army.

The five-day escape really taught Xiahou Mao a lot of things, such as the conspicuous tall horse and beautiful armor, which made Xiahou Mao the target of public criticism, not only not easy to escape, but even often became the target of the enemy's fire.

Therefore, Xiahou Nan abandoned his war horse, threw away his armor, pretended to be a small soldier, and mixed in the army, and the 3,000 soldiers who originally followed him are now only more than 500 people left.

Behind Xiahou Nan was more than 1,000 people from the Shu army under Zhuge Qian, and behind Zhuge Qian, there were 6,000 troops led by Wei Yanqin, and the distance between them was only twenty or thirty miles, half a day's journey.

Xiahou Mao has fled until now, and he has finally figured it out. It's not an escape at all, it's a mouse.

Along the way, the Shu army had enough time and troops to completely capture themselves, but they just didn't do it, they kept chasing all the way, and sometimes they would take the initiative to stop and let themselves collect the defeated troops, and then break them in one fell swoop. Where is this to capture yourself, it is simply to play yourself like a desperate mouse!!

Xiahou Nan was very aggrieved, but he had no way at all.

Don't look at the five hundred soldiers who are still around him, and there are only a thousand Zhuge Qian chasing soldiers behind him, but after several defeats, the soldiers who are still following him just want to ask for a way to live, and they don't have the courage to turn around and fight back against the enemy again.

Therefore, even if Xiahou Nan is aggrieved, he must endure it, but fortunately, Meixian is not far away.

As long as he retreats to Meixian, he can stop for a while to rest, and then go back to Chang'an After returning to Chang'an, he must explain the situation to Cao Zhen, and then write a letter to His Majesty and return to Yecheng.

This kind of war-torn place will never come again.

Obviously, Xiahou Nan's brain, so far, has not discovered that Wei Yan and Zhuge Qian behind him are deliberately driving him to Meixian, even if Xiahou Nan really sees through Wei Yan and Zhuge Qian's intentions, he will not care.

In Xiahou Nan's mind, nothing was more important than his personal life.

Meixian County has city defenses and defenders, even if he can't defeat the Shu army, it must be enough time for him to fight for Xiahou Nan to leave safely. As long as he can save his life and let himself escape back to Yecheng, the gains and losses of Meixian County are not within the scope of Xiahou Nan's concern at all.

Seeing that he was about to flee to Meixian, Xiahou Nan suddenly mustered up the last trace of morale and led the troops straight to Meixian.

And Zhuge Qian, who was following him, also led the troops to speed up at this time - Zhuge Qian wanted to complete the encirclement of Xiahou Nan before Xiahou Nan rushed to Meixian.

Zhuge Qian did not intend to destroy Wei Yan's overall plan, or rather, Zhuge Qian's action was itself instructed by Wei Yan.

Now it is only fifty miles away from Meixian, and if the guards of Meixian County are conscientious, this range is already within the scope of the Wei army scouts in Meixian County.

If you choose to surround Xiahou Nan at this time, it is easy for Wei army scouts to detect that Wei Yan wants to use Xiahou Nan to lure out the defenders of Meixian County, so as to defeat this defender army in one fell swoop, and then wave the army to take Meixian directly.

Zhuge Qian was just acting according to Wei Yan's plan.

As for whether the five hundred people led by Xiahou Nan still have the ability to fight back. Zhuge Qian, who has chased all the way, has the most say in this.

Therefore, Zhuge Qian easily caught up with Xiahou Nan's troops, and in a short period of time, he easily completed the encirclement of Xiahou Nan's troops.

This, on the one hand, is that Xiahou Nan's troops no longer have the military morale to resist, and on the other hand. Xiahou Nan really doesn't know how to fight, and the military orders he gave were basically wrong, and there was no military order that was right.

The current Zhuge Qian is really curious, how did this Xiahou Nan be favored by Cao Zhen and appointed as the guard general of Chen Cangdao.

Cao Zhen is a person who has the grace of knowing Zhuge Qian, so Zhuge Qian has always respected Cao Zhen very much, but in this regard, Zhuge Qian is really incomprehensible. Cao Dudu chose such a waste to guard Chen Cang Road?!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Qian was quite indignant. I actually gave such a waste as a deputy, Cao Zhendudu, are you serious?!

If I had known that this product was at this level, then what did I do with Chen Cangdao, wouldn't this be in vain? !

Fortunately, he is clever, although it is not glorious to fight against the water, but now with the Han army advancing all the way, he still serves as a pioneer, and has made countless meritorious contributions along the way.

If you look at it from this point of view, Zhuge Qian suddenly felt that it seemed that Cao Zhendu was really not thin on himself, which made it clear that his contribution was just for the Han Dynasty, not for the Great Wei.

So, this Xiahou Nan, you have to look at it as a treasure, maybe it's still a treasure that can be infinitely brushed with military merits.

Zhuge Qian was "very caring" for Xiahou Nan, and after besieging Xiahou Nan's army, he even specially ordered that if he could not release arrows, try not to release arrows, and don't turn back and shoot this "walking military feat" to death with a stray arrow, that is where there is no place to cry.

And at this time, Xiahou Nan was completely desperate.

Xiahou Nan thought that this was because the Shu army was completely tired of playing and planned to clean himself up completely. Poor, now I am less than thirty miles away from Meixian!!

Xiahou Nan didn't want to die, so he was still struggling, trying to command a group of soldiers who had no morale at all to continue to resist, but there was one thing to say, things had come to this point, and Xiahou Nan also knew that such resistance was just delaying the time of his death.

fled all the way here, there are not many people in the Wei army who can protect their armor, let alone those who can still hold weapons, and the soldiers in such a state, it is strange that you organize them to break through and organize.

If it weren't for Wei Fa's strictness, coupled with the fact that no one stood up to take the lead, maybe Xiahou Nan would have been kidnapped and surrendered to the Shu army by now.

Just when Xiahou Nan himself gave up a little, thinking about what kind of words he should use to beg for mercy after being captured for a while. In the direction of Meixian, a force of more than 500 people, under the banner of the Wei army and under the leadership of a biao-type general, was hurrying forward.

The arrival of this army made Xiahou Nan and Zhuge Qian quite happy.

Xiahou Nan felt that he was in a desperate situation and felt that he was saved.

And Zhuge Qian is happy to be. Finally lured out the defenders of Meixian County.

Although the number of this army is not large, only more than 500 people, but the general flag of the leading general has the word "Wang" written on it, if nothing else, this should be Wang Sheng, the guard general of Meixian County, personally led the troops to save Xiahou Nan.

That's right, Xiahou Nan's identity is indeed there, no matter how proud Wang Sheng is, he can't help but come to the rescue.

In fact, Zhuge Qian had never seen this Wang Sheng, but he had also stayed in the Wei army sequence, and Zhuge Qian had heard the rumors of this Wang Sheng.

It is rumored that this person is proud of his martial arts, quite arrogant, and has always been not very friendly to his colleagues, but he is more respectful to the high-level Well, in short, he looks down on his colleagues, but he is quite good at slapping Sima Fart.

Such a person is not very popular anywhere. Although Governor Cao Zhen valued his martial arts, he really didn't think much of his character, so he was put in Meixian County as a town guard.

This place in Meixian, according to the layout at that time, is located in the center of the Weihe defense circle, and it is unlikely to encounter danger, and even if there is danger, put Wang Sheng here, with Wang Sheng's martial arts and bravery, coupled with the solidity of the city, it should not be a big problem to stick to Meixian and wait for help.

In this way, Wang Sheng was arranged by Cao Zhen to be a garrison general in Meixian County.

Zhuge Qian had heard of this Wang Sheng and knew that this person was martial arts, but he also didn't seem to have heard of any strategy this person had, so when he saw that Wang Sheng only brought 500 people out to rescue Xiahou Nan, he was also overjoyed.

In the past few years, the two armies have been fighting, and the role of personal martial arts has been greatly weakened, even if you can fight ten, I will surround you with a hundred people, and you don't even want to kill it until you lose your strength.

Therefore, Zhuge Qian saw that Wang Sheng led the troops to kill, and immediately ordered the whole army to assemble, leaving only 200 people to watch the remnants of Xiahou Nan's army, and the remaining 800 people launched an attack on Wang Sheng's department.

There is one thing to say, Zhuge Qian is a little careless here.

The real safe way is that Zhuge Qian should be wrapped up in Xiahou Nan and fight and retreat, and wait for Wei Yan, who is less than ten miles behind him, to lead the troops to surround him, completely surround Wang Sheng and Xiahou Nan, and decide on a battle.

But Zhuge Qian is still earnest, and at the same time thinks that this Wang Sheng's martial arts is only the kind of thing that is slightly stronger than himself, but in fact, Wang Sheng's martial arts and courage exceed Zhuge Qian's imagination.

In addition, since Wang Sheng dared to lead 500 people out to save people, he must be very confident in the combat effectiveness of the 500 people he brought out. Under the battle between the two armies, Zhuge Qian was surprised to find that his 800 soldiers had a tendency to be unable to hold on.

Eight hundred people against five hundred people, the advantage of their own strength is not large, and these eight hundred people of Zhuge Qian were chasing and killing Xiahou Nan all the way, and they were somewhat tired, and it was not a strange thing to be suppressed by Wang Sheng's five hundred people for a while.

But Zhuge Qian knew that he couldn't be defeated here, if Wang Sheng rescued Xiahou Nan with 500 people, although it would have no impact on the overall situation, but the impact on Zhuge Qian would be great.

The exploits in hand are gone.

Based on this, Zhuge Qian also let go, carried a spear, shouted at Wang Sheng, and said, "The thief general Wang Sheng, dare to fight with a certain battle?!" ”

Zhuge Qian's original intention was to boost his morale, Zhuge Qian believed that Wang Sheng's main purpose now was to leave Xiahou Nan, and he should not be entangled with himself.

But who knows, as soon as this Wang Sheng heard Zhuge Qian say this, he didn't say a word, turned his horse's head, and killed Zhuge Qian with a look of resentment.

As he rode his horse, he roared angrily.

"How many times has Lao Tzu said that Lao Tzu's name is Wang Shuang!!"
