Since receiving the order, Biqiu Jian can be said to have done his best, leading 3,000 elite horsemen to gallop to Meixian County in the starry night.

Well, it's a bit of an exaggeration to say "starry night galloping", after all, in this era, there are not many soldiers who can see at night, and those who are blind in the dark light have to ride horses.

Even if Biqiu Jian was in a hurry, he could only start from the dawn and rest until it was close to dusk, so as to save as much time on the road as possible.

I have to say that there is no problem with Biqiu Jian's strategy, after all, no one knows what the situation in Meixian County is at this time, so he can only hurry up and shorten the rescue time as much as possible.

According to Biqiu Jian's calculations, from Wuzhang Yuan to Meixian, it would take three or four days for the horse to gallop, and it may only take three days to reach Meixian County in three days under his own wild galloping.

But soon, Biqiu Jian suffered the first blow of this operation.

On the evening of the first day after departure, the front reconnaissance cavalry sent by Biqiu Jian encountered a tattered remnant army, about twenty or thirty people, judging from the military uniform, it should be his own family.

When encountering defeated soldiers on the road, no matter how anxious Biqiu Jian is, he still has to stop when he should stop and ask, who knows how these defeated soldiers came, whether there is an enemy army in ambush ahead, these things are not asked clearly, who dares to march with peace of mind?!

As a result, Biqiu Jian asked, and learned that this was the remnant army that followed Xiahou Nan to withdraw from Chencang Road to Meixian County, and was scattered by the Shu army halfway, and was exiled here, wanting to go to the Wuzhangyuan camp to be rebuilt.

This matter, it's really not how strong the cohesion of the Wei army is, the main thing is that the military law of the Wei State is strict, once the soldiers escape or die in battle, the property and family members of the soldiers will be distributed to other soldiers.

The little soldiers actually don't matter, most of the little soldiers in the army have neither property nor families, but who let this group of defeated soldiers have a small colonel, and this small colonel happened to have just gotten married not long ago.

How could the newly married daughter-in-law give up like this?!

No way!!!

Therefore, this small colonel pulled these 20 or so soldiers together to go to Wuzhangyuan to rebuild, and happened to meet Biqiu Jian halfway.

Biqiu Jian didn't care about the reason for the return of this small school, he was more concerned about how Chen Cangdao was lost? !

This problem, not only Guo Huai can't figure it out, but Biqiu Jian and Wen Qin can't figure it out either. In such a dangerous place, there are 5,000 soldiers guarding it, how can you say that you will lose it?!

Xiao Bing didn't know the reason and it was reasonable, since he met a small colonel, he definitely had to ask.

For example, how many soldiers and horses did the Shu army have, who led it, what kind of siege strategy was adopted, and how General Xiahou responded. This is all battlefield intelligence that needs to be clarified.

But in addition to knowing that the Shu army had about 20,000 people, he didn't get much information he wanted.

After all, that was specific information that even Xiahou Nan didn't know, how could a small school know about it.

The colonel only knew that the enemy's leading general had the word "Wei" written on the flag, and as for which Shu general led the troops, he didn't know that there were more generals surnamed Wei, and it didn't mean anything at all.

As for how Chen Cang was lost, this little school was even more confused. At that time, this little colonel was resting in the barracks, and suddenly he was called to gather in the early hours of the morning, followed General Xiahou all the way, and then was chased all the way by the Shu army, running in a panic, I don't know what happened!

Biqiu Jian, that depressed person really brings what soldiers.

Xiahou Nan himself lost Chen Cang and lost it, and his soldiers were also confused.

But anyway, since the people are here to build, it's hard to say anything. He also had his own task, left some dry food for this team, and after pointing out the direction of the Wuzhangyuan camp, he didn't care about it and continued to rush to Meixian to help.

And on the second day of the journey, Biqiu Jian received another blow - he encountered another rout.

At this time, Biqiu Jian had already rushed to a place less than a hundred miles away from Meixian, and after another day's journey, he could rush to Meixian County to support Wang Shuang. As a result, when resting on the side of the road, he happened to encounter this rout.

The number of the routs was only about a dozen or so, and each of them had no armor on them, and they couldn't even make up three ring-headed knives out of ten people. At first glance, it is a soldier who has thrown away his armor and fled for his life.

As soon as Biqiu Jian saw these routs, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly sent someone to intercept them and bring them to him.

These routs are not going to be rebuilt, they are all small soldiers, there is nothing worth worrying about at home, the final result of this group of routs, most likely is to go to the mountains to hide for a few days, and when the limelight passes, find a big family to eat as a hidden household.

Biqiu Jian didn't want to care what these routs were doing, the world was like this in these days, and no one could be busy worrying about this kind of thing.

Biqiu Jian was concerned about where these routs came from.

If it's still the rout led by Xiahou Nan's idiot, it's just that, but. This place is already very close to Meixian, don't be the rout of Meixian.

Biqiu Jian is really, what you worry about will come. If you ask carefully, these defeated soldiers are really defeated after following Wang Shuang out of the city to fight.

Now, Biqiu Jian can finally ask what is happening in the battle ahead. But Temomei County has been lost!!

Biqiu was frugal and wanted to scold people, especially that Wang Shuang!!!

You said that you have 2,000 people in your hands, and you don't have a good peace of mind to defend the city, but you still dare to fly up in waves and fight field battles with people out of the city?!

Now it's okay, if you yourself are caught red-handed, forget it, Meixian is still lost!

Meixian County's loss, from Sanguan to Wuzhangyuan, the logistics grain and grass of the 50,000 army were all lost.

The army is running out of food!!

Biqiu Jian is really angry and anxious, but in the end, there is still the potential of being a famous general, and he can't lose his calmness.

Biqiu Jian repeatedly inquired about this group of defeated soldiers, and finally got some useful information.

First of all, Biqiu Jian was keenly aware that the number of Shu troops who raided Meixian was not large, only about six or seven thousand. This is very different from the number of Shu troops mentioned by Chen Cangdao's defeated army.

After thinking about it for a while, Biqiu Jian immediately judged that this was the main general of the Shu army who chose to divide his troops and advance in order to march quickly, and first led a small number of troops to raid Meixian.

Secondly, Biqiu Jian probably found some reasons for the loss of Chen Cangdao. According to the Meixian rout, the commander of the Shu army's raid unit was surnamed "Zhuge ".

This surname is too rare.

Anyway, Biqiu Jian didn't believe that Zhuge Liang could do the trick of clone, and he could confront Guo Tingshi on the front line of Wuzhangyuan, and at the same time, he could lead the troops to raid Meixian.

And the deputy general of Xiahou Nan, the general of Chen Cangdao, happens to be surnamed Zhuge and is called Zhuge Qian.

This "Zhuge ", it is very likely that this Zhuge is pious No wonder Chen Cangdao is so easy to lose, the co-author is with the help of internal ghosts!

If you think about it. You can't blame Xiahou Nan all, after all, this Zhuge Qian is the person promoted and reused by Cao Zhendu.

After learning this information, Biqiu Jian analyzed and sorted it out a little and began to think about what he should do.

According to common sense, now that Meixian has been lost, the normal way is to return to Wuzhangyuan, tell Guo Tingshi the news, and let Guo Tingshi find a way to withdraw the army. You can't confront the Shu army in Wuzhangyuan anymore, and if you continue to confront each other, you will run out of food.

But. When the Shu army attacked Chencang Road, there were 20,000 people, and after capturing Chencang Road, there must be some soldiers left behind, and now the Shu army attacking Meixian is only six or seven thousand people. Where are the remaining more than 10,000 Shu soldiers?!

On the entire Weishui coastal defense line, is there anything worth attacking the Shu army?!

Biqiu Jian thought about it, but he really couldn't think that there was a place with strategic value for the Shu army to divide his troops, so the only possibility was that the more than 10,000 Shu troops had not yet arrived in Meixian, and now Meixian was only occupied by the vanguard of the Shu army.

Six or seven thousand people, in the battle with Wang Shuang, it is impossible to lose no losses at all, at best, there may be only about 5,000 Shu troops in Meixian County.

And the 3,000 people he led were cavalry, and Biqiu Jian was not stupid enough to use 3,000 cavalry to attack the city, but 3,000 cavalry to slow down the march of the more than 10,000 Shu troops, so that they could not arrive in Meixian in time, it seems that they are still sure.

Biqiu Jian made a decision in an instant.

Sent a messenger in the army to quickly return to Wuzhangyuan, inform Guo Tingshi of the changes in Meixian, and at the same time inform Guo Tingshi that he would lead his troops to entangle the main force of more than 10,000 Shu troops, so that these Shu troops could not quickly reach Meixian, and suggested that Guo Tingshi send elite troops to counterattack Meixian County and recapture the granary of Meixian.

Of course, Biqiu Jian also knew that his plan was actually very risky, after all, there were 40,000 soldiers under Guo Tingshi, and it would take at least six or seven days to rush back to Meixian, and it would take at least two days for him to send a message back to the Wuzhangyuan camp.

However, now that Meixian County has been lost, the remaining grain and grass in the army can only last for ten days and half a month at most, if you don't try, it will be even more difficult for these soldiers to safely withdraw to Chang'an.

Of course, it doesn't matter if Guo Tingshi doesn't accept his suggestion.

Biqiu Jian led all cavalry, while the Shu army only had infantry, and it couldn't stop Biqiu Jian's troops at all, and in terms of grain and grass supply, the grain and grass supplies needed by the 3,000 cavalry could be solved by finding a small town at random, or it could be a sneak attack on the enemy's grain transportation team.

Biqiu Jian felt that he had the capital to fight guerrillas with cavalry. Even if it really didn't work in the end, they would run back to Chang'an quickly, but it would only take seven or eight days.

Anyway, he will not have a problem, and the person who really has a problem is Guo Huai and the more than 40,000 foot soldiers led by him.

And Guo Huaima is really uncomfortable now.
