Biqiu Jian used the life and death of himself and 2,000 cavalry to snatch a glimmer of life for Guo Huai and Cao Zhen's army.

But this chance of vitality, which is truly transformed into life, is still not so easy.

Today's Guo Huai and Cao Zhen can only be said to have temporarily jumped out of the encirclement and are not completely out of danger.

Not to mention anything else, under the city of Huaili, there are 10,000 besieging troops led by Liu Bei himself, which have not been used.

Today's Huaili City is no longer important to the entire battlefield situation.

Regardless of whether Cao Zhen and Guo Huai can lead the army to jump out of the encirclement network, the defeat of the battle of Huaili has been decided, relying on the 3,000 people in Wen Qin's hands, without the army led by Cao Zhen and Guo Huai, it is impossible to hold Huaili City.

Therefore, Liu Bei's team, which can be said to be the reserve of the entire battlefield, has no practical significance if he does not encircle Huaili City.

Once Liu Bei led his troops to suddenly join the encirclement and suppression team, then Guo Huai and Cao Zhen, even if they could really break through, I am afraid that there would not be a few people left around them.

Without the soldiers to follow, even if the two of them can really run back to Wuguan, they will not be able to complete the strategic tasks after that, and even whether Wuguan can be defended is a question.

To tell the truth, at this time, although the overall battle situation was a little off, it was still within the controllable range of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

Although Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong really didn't expect that Cao Zhen and Guo Huai, who were in a desperate situation, would burst out with such combat effectiveness, they didn't expect that Biqiu Jian really dared to use his own life and the lives of two thousand cavalry to fight for Cao Zhen's life, but. As long as Liu Bei leads his troops to intercept Cao Zhen and the others now, Cao Zhen will not be able to escape.

And in the face of such an opportunity, whether it is Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, or Liu Bei himself, they will not fail to see it.

Liu Bei immediately had to withdraw his troops to intercept Cao Zhen.

But at this time, the gate of Huaili City was opened, and Wen Qin led the 3,000 foot soldiers who stayed behind to kill them from the city.

Wen Qin is also a famous general in the end, and he still sees the situation very clearly.

Even if he continues to lead his troops to hold Huaili, it is impossible to reserve a way back for Cao Zhendudu, and it is only a matter of time before this Huaili city is breached.

In that case, what's the point of him sticking to Huaili?!

Now that the situation is critical, Biqiu Jian can use his life to fight for a glimmer of life for Cao Dudu, why should he regret this life?!

Therefore, Wen Qin directly led 3,000 soldiers out of the city, abandoned the city defense of Huaili, and went straight to Liu Bei's army.

I never thought that I could complete the decapitation operation of the Chinese army's assault in this way, and Wen Qin also knew that it was wishful thinking.

Wen Qin's purpose was one, to use this suicidal attack to delay Liu Bei for a period of time and create time for Cao Dudu and General Guo to break through.

Moreover, Wen Qin chose a very good time to go out of the city, just when Liu Bei had finished withdrawing the siege and reorganizing the army, and was about to set off.

At this time, if Liu Bei doesn't care about Wen Qin, then Wen Qin can also follow and kill, although he can't break the enemy, but he has been hanging you, disgusting you, and biting you at a critical moment, it can also make you uncomfortable for a while, and buy time for Cao Dudu to break through.

And if Liu Bei divides his troops. You only have 10,000 people in your hands, and Lao Tzu also has 3,000 people, and they are all the Great Wei Forbidden Army.

If there are too many troops, you will rely on so many thousands of people to surround Cao Dudu, and it is strange that you can surround it.

As for Liu Bei, he didn't move, and ate his own troops first. That's what Wen Qin couldn't ask for.

Wen Qin's exit from the city really disgusted Liu Bei half to death, not to go, not to stay, not to divide the troops, not to divide the troops is not in the end or Zhuge Liang persuaded Liu Bei to stay, eat this Wei army first, and occupy Huaili City.

Zhuge Liang's plan is actually quite practical.

The ultimate goal of this battle was to break the Wei army, occupy Huaili, and open the last passage to Chang'an.

Now that the Wei army has been defeated, the Wei army of more than 20,000 people, only more than 10,000 people broke out, even if they want to withdraw, the direction will not be Chang'an Today's Chang'an, it is basically an empty city.

In this case, it is better to accept it when it is good, and take Chang'an first.

After all, Chang'an has very important political significance for the Han Dynasty.

As for Wuguan and Tongguan, they can be talked about later, and they are not in a hurry.

This is Zhuge Liang's main argument to persuade Liu Bei.

Of course, in private, Zhuge Liang also has his own concerns.

Wen Qin has 3,000 people in his hands, and these 3,000 people are also the elite of Cao Wei's forbidden army, although the number of troops is small, but the combat effectiveness is strong.

And the 10,000 soldiers in Liu Bei's hands, although they are also the elite of the Northern Army, according to the feedback of Wei Yan, Wu Yi and others, in terms of combat experience, they are still inferior to the elite of Cao Wei's forbidden army.

Zhuge Liang couldn't take the risk and put Liu Bei in danger.

Regardless of whether Liu Bei led the army to intercept Cao Zhen, followed by such a group of elites behind his buttocks, or whether Liu Bei divided his troops to the enemy, there was a lot of risk in this.

At this time, Liu Bei is no longer the general Zuo, even if he is thrown from Xuzhou to Jingzhou, no one will care.

The emperor of the Han Dynasty, even if it is a little worse, it is the morale of the Han army that is damaged, let alone in case.

In this case, it is impossible to overstate the pursuit of stability.

At this point, even Pang Tong did not have any intention of taking risks, as soon as Zhuge Liang said that Liu Bei should stay and eat Wenqin's department first, Pang Tong knew where Zhuge Liang's worries were after a little thought.

Of course, if you do this, you will lose the best opportunity to encircle and suppress the Wei army, but. The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty really cannot afford to lose.

Therefore, as soon as Zhuge Liang suggested, Pang Tong also followed the persuasion, and by the way, he also helped find a reason.

"Cao Zhen, Guo Huai and the others, it's just rotten wood, don't worry, but there are two people here who are so loyal and handsome, doesn't Your Majesty want to take them and use them?!"

Well, Pang Tong is talking about Biqiu Jian and Wen Qin.

Cao Zhen and Guo Huai led the army, and there was hope to break out of the encirclement, but it was basically impossible for these two young generals to break through in such a chaotic army.

As long as these two are not wiping their necks without thinking about it, then Liu Bei still has the possibility of persuading them to surrender.

Not to mention Biqiu Jian, at least Wen Qin in front of him, Liu Bei can directly control his life and death.

Pang Tong really likes Biqiu Jian and Wen Qin.

These two people are decisive, dare to take risks, and the most important thing is that they have the strength to fight to the death for the overall situation, and they have a very good appetite for Pang Tong.

And Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang just smiled and didn't speak, in fact, he also admired Biqiu Jian and Wen Qin's loyalty.

As for Liu Bei, Liu Bei was also a little moved by Pang Tong's words.

Liu Bei is old, and the Yuancong faction who follows him is also old, and there are some things that he must think about in advance.

Based on today's situation, although the two Northern Expeditions were very smooth, and even the recovery of the old Han Dynasty is in sight, but in a short period of time, it is estimated that it will be impossible for him to calm the world and rebuild the Han Dynasty.

These things must inevitably be handed over to their sons and their younger generations to do.

And after he left, most of the people in the Jingzhou faction were in their prime, and the Yizhou faction had always been unconvinced. If you don't have some young people from other places to take it for your own use, when your son succeeds to the throne in the future, how can you control the overall situation?!

Even if they trust Fa Zheng, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others, they can only represent them individually after all, and not all of the interest groups behind them are trustworthy.

A few years ago, when he conquered Yongzhou, he got a Tianshui Qiliner, Liu Bei has always paid great attention to training, not only often staying by his side to counsel the military aircraft, this Northern Expedition, Liu Bei also deliberately left Jiang Wei in Chengdu to assist Liu Chan, let Jiang Wei help Liu Chan take care of the house, cultivate the relationship between Jiang Wei and the heir, and also to win over the connection between the Yongzhou scholars and the royal family is so that one day in the future, the Yongzhou scholars represented by Jiang Wei can balance the scholars of Jingzhou and Yizhou.

Today, the two loyal Wei generals, according to rumors, are only around twenty years old. This must be taken for your own use.

Liu Bei, who understood this, launched an encirclement in the face of Wen Qin, who took the initiative to attack, and on the other hand, he also sent an order to Zhao Yun, asking Zhao Yun not to force Biqiu Jian too tightly, as long as he trapped him, he would surround but not kill.

When he was done with his side, Liu Bei wanted to personally persuade Biqiu Jian.

As for Cao Zhen and Guo Huai, well, just run, what's the big deal.

If you can defeat them once, you can naturally defeat them a second time Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Bei really doesn't believe that even if these two people are caught, they will choose to surrender.

Cao Zhen is the general of the Wei thief clan, and Guo Huai is a figure who is deeply favored by Cao Wei. It's harder to catch than to run.
