When Wei Yan led 6,000 soldiers to the front army and joined Zhuge Qian, he only saw more than 500 Wei army prisoners, as well as one Zhuge Qian who came to ask for sin.

Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, even if Wei Yan doesn't look down on Zhuge Qian, but he will not criticize Zhuge Qian too much for letting go of Xiahou Nan and not being able to leave Wang Sheng.

It's not terrible to fail, it's terrible not to know how you failed.

But after listening to Zhuge Qian's report on how he failed, Wei Yan also fell into deep thought.

Judging from Zhuge Qian's report, it is very likely that the intelligence work on his side has deviated from the beginning.

First of all, the name of the enemy's commander-in-chief was mistaken, and he was not called Wang Sheng, but Wang Shuang.

Zhuge Qian has never seen Wang Sheng, so he is not sure if Wang Sheng in this information is the same person as Wang Shuang, who took Xiahou Nan.

If it's the same person, but the pronunciation of the name is similar, it's okay to get it wrong. If it is not the same person, it means that the information about Meixian is likely to be wrong.

Secondly, this Wang Shuang, judging from Zhuge Qian's report, is a difficult guy.

This person's martial arts skills are not low, and the command ability of the military array is not weak, and he can rely on 500 people to kill through the defense of 1,000 people to take Xiahou Nan, and he will definitely not be able to do it without sufficient force value and command ability.

And the most important thing is that this person is very decisive, decisive to the point that the attitude of ruthlessness is enough for five hundred Wei troops, he said to give up and give up, just to keep Xiahou Nan, and then quickly retreat to Meixian.

This shows that the person is very clear about his purpose from the beginning to the end, and can do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.

Such a person is even more difficult than Zhang Yuanchang, who is a mother-in-law and mother-in-law.

At least Zhang Yuanchang is soft-hearted, and no matter how resolute he is, he can't give up five hundred soldiers.

Under Wei Yan's brain supplement, Wang Shuang has become a more difficult guy than Zhang Xi, who let Wei Yan have been partnering with Zhang Xi before, Wei Yan's brain supplement opponent is basically based on Zhang Xi.

After all, the level was worse than Zhang Xi's, and Wei Yan didn't bother to take a look at it at all.

And Wang Shuang, who was made up by Wei Yan's brain and had a fight with Zhang Xi, was being courteous to Xiahou Nan at this time.

This is the second conclusion that Wang Shuang has come to in this world.

If you want to glorify the family, you must have someone in the family to be a big official, and if you want to be a big official, you must first be able to have the appreciation and support of nobles.

This is the real reason why Wang Shuang will bring 500 people to meet Xiahou Nan.

There are a total of 2,000 soldiers guarding Meixian County, and some of them have to guard the granary and maintain law and order in the city, and the manpower is a bit insufficient.

And as soon as he heard the scout say that there were defeated soldiers from his own house in the direction of Chen Cangdao, even Wang Shuang, who was not very good at his brain, realized that behind the defeated soldiers who threatened his own family, there must be enemy troops, and Meixian was in danger now.

It stands to reason that Meixian is such a small number of people, it is not easy for Wang Shuang to close the city gate, guard the city, and wait for reinforcements, and it is unwise to rashly send troops to meet his own defeated army.

But as soon as Wang Shuang inquired and learned that this defeated army was the army led by Xiahou Nan, he was immediately moved.

At this time, Xiahou Nan is not the governor of Yongliang, he is just a Chen Cang guard, it stands to reason that even if Wang Shuang does not bird him, the lawsuit will be in front of Cao Zhen, and Wang Shuang is not wrong.

But the problem is that Wang Shuang knows that this Xiahou Nan is the brother-in-law of the Son of Heaven of Great Wei, and the relationship with the Son of Heaven of Great Wei is closer than that of Cao Zhen and the Son of Heaven.

In addition, Wang Shuang also wants to seek the attention and support of some nobles. This Xiahou Nan is simply the best gift from God to himself.

As long as he can save Xiahou Mao this time, it is equivalent to making Xiahou Mao owe a great favor, so as to climb the line of Xiahou Mao, and it will not be just around the corner to soar in the future? !

Therefore, although it was risky to do so, Wang Shuang was very confident in his martial arts and the five hundred soldiers under his command, and decided to take the risk of going out of the city to rescue him.

And the result also made Wang Shuang very pleasantly surprised. He not only rescued Xiahou Nan, but also repelled an attack by the Shu army.

As for the five hundred Wei soldiers who were abandoned, Wang Shuang really can't be blamed for this.

Wang Shuang has also experienced a lot of battles, and he has climbed through the army to his current position, and he can't do it when he abandons his own robe.

Wang Shuang is just not very good at braining, it's not that he lacks heart, if you do this, it's hard to say how many soldiers will give you their lives in the future.

At the beginning, Wang Shuang really wanted to bring back to Meixian County with the five hundred people of Xiahou Nan's department.

This order was given by Xiahou Nan.

In Xiahou Nan's opinion, the five hundred soldiers he brought out had seriously dragged him to escape.

The life of the soldier, in the eyes of Xiahou Nan, is really nothing, just some consumables.

Running all the way, Xiahou Nan didn't see any soldiers fighting bravely to kill the enemy, but the Shu army scattered and fled as soon as they rushed at them, but it caused themselves to encounter risks.

Therefore, Xiahou Nan really didn't think that these soldiers were important.

Yes, Xiahou Nan didn't think at all that the reason why the soldiers would become like this was that he, the commander, was incompetent, he just felt that these soldiers were useless, and he knew that this was the result, he should have run back to Meixian directly with a dozen personal guards, and he should not have gone to the barracks to organize soldiers at all.

Seeing that he was finally about to escape, but because of these defeated soldiers, the speed of his escape was seriously affected by Xiahou Nan's order, and he did not hesitate at all.

Although Wang Shuang knew that it was inappropriate to do this, Wang Shuang wanted to befriend Xiahou Nan and seek great wealth in the future.

Besides, even if Wang Shuang objected, it was useless.

In terms of rank, although Xiahou Nan is only a general of Chen Cang, he is a lieutenant of the horse, and the captain of the horse at this time is not an idle position, nor is he the husband of the princess, but a senior military attache.

And Wang Shuang is not even a miscellaneous general, he is just a captain of Zhisu.

Note that it's not Zhisu Duwei, it's Zhisu Captain Zhisu Duwei is a senior military attache at the same level as the Commander of the Horse, Han Xin and Sang Hongyang did the official position of Zhisu Duwei, and there is even a saying that Zhisu Duwei is actually another name for Dasi Nong.

But Captain Zhisu was just a low-level military attache in the army who guarded the granary.

Although the two have the same responsibilities and are stationed in the same place, in terms of rank, the difference between the two is 108,000 miles.

Therefore, Xiahou Nan ordered, Wang Shuang did not dare not listen, and the matter of abandoning the 500 remnants of the army was really not how ruthless Wang Shuang was, but Xiahou Nan's ruthlessness.

After getting rid of the remnants of the army, Xiahou Nan urged Wang Shuang to quickly withdraw to Meixian, and after returning to Meixian, Xiahou Nan was still not at ease, so he thought about running back to Chang'an quickly.

After retreating from the defeat of Chen Cang all the way, Xiahou Nan knew very well how many Shu troops were pursuing him this time, only one Mei County, only 2,000 defenders, and they couldn't stop the 20,000 troops of the Shu army for too long.

The strategic significance of Meixian, Xiahou Nan didn't know, and he didn't want to know, he only knew that with the 2,000 people in Meixian County, he couldn't protect himself, so after a little rest in Meixian, Xiahou Nan immediately asked Wang Shuang to prepare more than ten fast horses, he had an "urgent military situation", and he wanted to rush back to Chang'an and meet Cao Zhendudu.

Wang Shuang was stupid at that time, and he couldn't even shoot a sycophant.

Really, Wang Shuang knows that he has little reading, low education, and really has no brains when he talks and does things, but why is this noble man more brainless than himself when he talks and does things? !

You retreated all the way from Chencang Road to Meixian, what kind of emergency military situation can you say if you have to meet Cao Dudu? !

Could it be the "emergency military situation" of Chen Cang's loss?!

If you wait until you run back to Chang'an to report, you'll still have a fart fight?!

Again, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and although it is your fault to lose Chen Cangdao, it is not an unacceptable thing. But you retreated all the way to Meixian, and you didn't want to stick to the city in Meixian County and protect the grain route of the Cao army along the Weishui River, but you wanted to run back to Chang'an?!

What are you doing, do you know what?!

The dignified Great Wei and Ma Duwei are all in a hurry to flee for their lives, what do you make the soldiers in this Mei County think?! How can I, a little captain of Zhisu, have the confidence to call on the sergeants to defend desperately?!

Xiahou Nan really can't go, if he leaves, it will have a great impact on the morale of the defenders of Meixian County.

He finally ventured out of the city to fight, and relied on repelling the pursuit of the Shu army, and then received Xiahou Nan to boost his morale. If this Xiahou Mao ran back to Chang'an without staying for even a day, wouldn't he have done it in vain? !

Xiahou Nan can run, where else can he run?!

If he runs away, unless he goes to join the Shu army, no matter where he runs, he will inevitably have a knife in his neck.

Wang Shuang had to repeatedly emphasize the importance of Meixian to Xiahou Nan, the grain and grass of the Cao army along the Weishui are piled up here, once Meixian is lost, others don't say, Guo Huai's more than 40,000 troops will run out of food in a short time.

And without the more than 40,000 troops, if the Shu army enters the Kou in a big way, with the 15,000 defenders of Cao Dudu of Chang'an and the 10,000 defenders of the right Fufeng Zhang He Department, Chang'an will be really dangerous.

Therefore, Wang Shuangbitterly persuaded Xiahou Nan, you really can't go, if you go, the morale of the military in Meixian County is not easy to say.

As long as you are willing to stay, call on the soldiers to defend the city together, and block the attack of the Shu army for about ten days, Cao Dudu of Chang'an and Guo Tingshi of Wuzhangyuan will lead troops to help.

At that time, you will be the greatest hero of this battle to defend Guanzhong.

But Xiahou Nan didn't listen at all and didn't run anymore, and when the Shu army besieged the city, he really couldn't run away.

As for the gains and losses of Meixian, Xiahou Nan didn't care about it. He is not the guard of Meixian County, nor is he the governor of Yongliang, what the hell are you doing with this?!

Xiahou Nan only rested for a day in Meixian County, and the next morning, under the escort of more than a dozen personal guards, he rode out of the city and went straight to Chang'an.

And on the afternoon of Xiahou Nan's departure, Wei Yan personally led 7,000 soldiers to Meixian County.
