The Chang'an reinforcements led by Chen Yi were dealing with the siege of Qin Lang's 5,000 cavalry in the way of holding on to the spot, and there were many casualties almost every day.

From Qin Lang's point of view, Chen Yi is simply brainless, and using this way to deal with the cavalry under his command is simply giving himself military merits in vain.

But from Guo Huai's point of view, he always felt that this matter was too strange.

Although it can be explained that Jiang Wan, who stayed in Chang'an, led the army with a scholarly mentality, and entrusted it to non-people, resulting in the reinforcements being unable to rush to Huaili and falling into the siege of cavalry, Guo Huai always felt that things were not so simple.

For Jiang Wan, Cao Wei's detailed work in the northwest also compiled a detailed information, and Guo Huai also carefully studied it before the war.

Jiang Wan has indeed been engaged in government affairs all the time, and it seems that he does not have much ability to command operations on the front line, but it does not mean that Jiang Wan has never led troops.

In the early years of the Battle of Badong, the late general Xiahou Yuan and the former general Zhang He led the troops to invade Shudiba County, and Jiang Wan had gone out under Zhang Xi at that time.

Although Jiang Wan actually did something during the Battle of Padang, the detailed information is not too detailed, but he can be regarded as a person with military camp experience, so he would not make such a basic mistake, right?!

Again, there is no clear demarcation between civil officials and military generals in these years, civilian officials leading troops are the same as military generals, and military generals are civil officials in politics, and even Zhang Fei can be a county guard, governing the locality, how can there be such a big difference between civil officials and military generals.

As the second-in-command in Yongzhou, Jiang Wan is responsible for more practical things, although there are more government affairs, but Jiang Wan also often has to contact military affairs, and he can't even have a basic concept of leading troops.

Guo Huai always had a suspicion that the reinforcements sent from Chang'an to Huaili, marching unhurriedly and defending on the spot immediately when encountering the enemy army did not seem to be a decision made by the main general, but more like a deliberate attempt to lure himself into dividing his troops.

That is, Guo Huai had a quarrel with Niu Jin at the beginning, and he had 5,000 cavalry in hand, otherwise, the one who went to intercept this support army now must be the 5,000 infantry under his command.

In this way, it can indeed reduce the pressure of the siege of Huaili City.

But in this way, Guo Huai has another thing that he can't figure out. If Chang'an had these 10,000 reinforcements in the morning, why didn't he send them out to garrison Huaili earlier, but instead let Liu Yin lead 5,000 defeated troops to trap them, and wait until he besieged the city and stormed the city, and then sent them out to support Huaili?!

Don't say that you Jiang Wan don't even have the ability to deal with this!!

What is the purpose of the Shu thief doing this?!

Guo Huai thought about it, and always felt that he seemed to have ignored something, and this was very likely to determine the success or failure of the battle of Right Fufeng.

Guo Huai began to calm down, think seriously, jump out of the perspective of the general who attacked the right and the wind, and re-examine the current situation in Guanzhong from the perspective of the overall situation.

No matter how you look at it, the current situation in Guanzhong is extremely beneficial to Great Wei.

Although his side's attack on Youfufeng was somewhat hindered in Huaili, Guo Huai believed that after blocking the reinforcements from Chang'an, he was sure that he would completely break through Huaili County within five days, and then march west to attack Meixian.

According to Guo Huai's own prediction, it will take at least ten days for the elite of the Shu thief northern army in Qinzhou to enter the customs and arrive in Meixian, and it will take at least twenty days to arrive in Huaili.

In other words, Guo Huai has the opportunity to fight with the Shu thieves to seize Meixian County after capturing Huaili County.

And even if he couldn't capture Meixian County, Guo Huai had enough time to repair the city defense after capturing Huaili County, collect materials to defend the city, and hold the city.

On the one hand, it blocked the northern army of Shu thieves from advancing eastward to support Chang'an, and on the other hand, it posed a threat to Chang'an's flank.

In the Zuo Fengyi area, General Cao Zhen has completely surrounded the main force of Yongzhou County led by Zhang Xi, and cut off the logistics supply line of the main force of Yongzhou.

As long as it takes time to drag it out until Chongquan County runs out of grain and grass, then General Cao Zhen can easily defeat the Yongzhou army of Shu thieves, and then launch an attack on Chang'an from Zuo Fengyi.

As for Chang'an, there are not enough defenders, and there is no prestige of generals to defend it, so it is impossible to block the attack of General Cao Zhen's main army.

As long as Chang'an is a moment, the elite of the northern army of the Shu thieves will lose the purpose of combat rescue, and General Cao Zhen will lead his troops into Youfufeng in order to ensure that Qinzhou is not lost, and the northern army of the Shu thieves will inevitably retreat to Sanguan.

At that time, Guanzhong will inevitably be recovered.

The theory is this theory, Guo Huai really can't understand why the Shu thief's response to the right wind is so procrastinating.

10,000 reinforcements, not arranged to guard Huaili County in advance, but chose to stay in Chang'an Shu thieves so believe that Huaili County can hold it? !

And now, this 10,000 reinforcements are marching slowly, and there is a clear intention to attract their own troops. Is their purpose to rescue Huaili County?!

This is too unreasonable, unless the Shu thieves are not worried about the loss of Huaili County at all?!

But why?!

The more Guo Huai thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and after sorting out the entire situation in Guanzhong as a whole, the more Guo Huai thought about it, the more terrible he felt.

If the Shu thief is really not afraid that Huaili will be lost, then there is only one possibility. There are additional reinforcements in Huaili County.

Otherwise, if Guo Huai is killed, he will not believe it, and the Shu thieves will only rely on Liu Yin to lead 5,000 defeated troops to defend Huaili County.

But if the Shu thieves in Huaili have reinforcements, and this reinforcement is not the 10,000 soldiers sent by Chang'an. Then there is only one possibility.

Shu Thief Northern Army!!

Only when the Northern Army of Shu thieves entered Guanzhong earlier than Guo Huai expected, it was possible to rescue Huaili County in a short period of time, protect the safety of Chang'an's flank, and even launch a counteroffensive to defeat the 20,000 soldiers he brought and completely relieve the siege of Youfufeng County.

Can. How is this possible?!

According to intelligence, under the leadership of the Shu puppet prime minister, the Northern Army of Shu thieves has been stationed in Qinzhou to pacify the Qiang chaos there, and it is impossible to enter Chang'an eastward in a short period of time.

And before Guo Huai used the cavalry to break through the Youfufeng fortress group, the defense of Youfufeng was relatively stable, and Jiang Wan at that time had no need to order the Northern Army of Shu Thieves to enter the customs in advance.

And with Jiang Wan's status, he doesn't have the right to order Zhuge Liang, right?!

But if it was when the right wind was broken through, even if Jiang Wan immediately asked Zhuge Liang in Qinzhou for help, even if Zhuge Liang reacted quickly, it would be impossible for him to arrive in Huaili from Qinzhou in just ten days, right?!

The more Guo Huai thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

If the Northern Army of Shu Thieves did not enter the customs in advance, then there would be no so-called reinforcements in Huaili County, and Chang'an's series of responses would be very brain-dead and completely inconsistent with military common sense.

But if the Northern Army of the Shu thieves has really entered the customs in advance, then the one left behind in Chang'an is probably not Jiang Wan at all, but a person who has the right to mobilize the Northern Army to enter the customs in advance.

In the Northwest Territories, there are only two people who have this right.

One is Zhang Xi, the Yongzhou assassin of the Shu thief.

But this is unlikely, Zhang Xi has been completely besieged by General Cao Zhen in Zuo Fengyi, he can't even get through to Chang'an, how can there be a way to get in touch with Qinzhou, which is hundreds of miles away, and let the Northern Army of Shu thieves enter the customs in advance?!

The remaining one is the pseudo-prime minister of Shu Han in Qinzhou, Zhuge Liang.

Even Guo Huai thought of a possibility that made him gasp - Zhuge Liang is not in Qinzhou at all now, he may have already arrived in Chang'an, and the overall battle situation in Guanzhong is actually controlled by Zhuge Liang.

Thinking of this possibility, Guo Huai had to break out in a cold sweat, which meant that from the very beginning of the implementation of the strategy in this counter-attack, the Wei army had made a mistake with the actual supreme commander in the Guanzhong region.

General Cao Zhen believed that as long as Zhang Xi was surrounded, it would lead to the entire Guanzhong region being leaderless and falling into a situation where there was no one to command and could only fight on their own. But in fact, there is also a Zhuge Liang who can coordinate the overall situation.

This had a great impact on the realization of the Wei army's strategy.

Of course, at this time, Guo Huai was just in a cold sweat, and he didn't feel that things had reached the point of no return.

Chang'an has Zhuge Liang in command, although a new command system can be established, so as not to let the right Fufeng, the left Feng Yi, and Chang'an fall into the point of fighting their own battles, but whether Zhuge Liang can do a good job of unified command, in Guo Huai, there is also a question mark.

Although I heard that Zhuge Liang personally led the troops to pacify the Qiang rebellion, but the Qiang people, the level is just like that, he Guo Huai has been in Liangzhou for four or five years, and he has mixed the name of "god" in the Qiang tribe.

Pacifying the Qiang Rebellion does not prove how outstanding Zhuge Liang is in military talent. At most, it proves that Zhuge Liang is not a scholar who does not understand military affairs.

Today's Prime Minister Zhuge has not yet made a name for himself.

Therefore, although Guo Huai was concerned that there was a commander-level person in Guanzhong who was in command, Guanzhong was not as easy to fight as he imagined. But what he was actually most worried about was whether the Northern Army of Shu thieves entered the customs in advance.

If it is really as Guo Huai guessed, the person who sat in Chang'an at this time and commanded the battle of Guanzhong was Zhuge Liang, then it is really very likely that the Northern Army of Shu Thieves has entered Guanzhong in advance.

Once the northern army enters Guanzhong, especially if it enters the right Fufeng area, it will inevitably break the current right Fufeng force ratio, even if Guo Huai can break through Huaili before the rescue of the Shu thief northern army arrives, Guo Huai will not have the opportunity to go west to seize Meixian again.

Even, it is unlikely that Guo Huai wants to rely on Huaili to hold on to contain the main force of the Shu thief Northern Army, and give General Cao Zhen time to defeat the main force of the Shu thief Yongzhou army.

The Shu thieves will definitely not give themselves the opportunity to strengthen the city and defend the city after capturing Huaili.

And the worst result is that he has not captured Huaili County, and the northern army of the Shu thieves has been rescued in time and launched a counter-encirclement against themselves outside the city. At that time, he may not even have the opportunity to quit the right wind.

If it really comes to that point, the right wind war, the Great Wei side will completely collapse.

Guo Huai's cold sweat is here. After thinking for a while, Guo Huai immediately sent a large number of scouts to the northeast behind Huaili City.

In the direction of Meixian County in the northwest, Guo Huai has never relaxed his reconnaissance and cavalry reconnaissance, which is the most likely direction for the Northern Army of Shu thieves to enter the pass, and it is also the next direction of Guo Huai's action after capturing Huaili, so he naturally does not dare to take it lightly.

But to the northeast of Huaili City, Guo Huai really didn't send many scouts.

The reason is simple, to the northeast, that is the Wei River. Whose reinforcements will come from that direction?!
