As the actual commander of Zuo Fengyi's defense battle, Zhang Xi has the right to make decisions on the spot, and he does not need to report everything to Zhuge Liang, who is sitting in Chang'an.

Therefore, after Zhang Xi and Zhao Yun decided to adopt Wei Yan's strategy of "Alien Ways Meeting Tongguan" and began to implement it, Zhang Xi only sent Zhuge Liang a battle report document according to the usual practice, roughly describing what happened.

Then Zhuge Liang couldn't sit still.

The first reason is that no matter how Zhuge Liang looks at it, he feels that this strategy of "Alien Paths will pass Tongguan" is very risky.

It is true that once it succeeds, the benefits will be very large, and it can completely encircle the main force of Cao Wei Sili's army, but if it fails, Wei Yan and the three thousand soldiers who went to sneak attack will definitely die.

In this regard, in fact, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Xi are similar, they both prefer that kind of steady and steady tactics, and try not to take too many risks.

Therefore, in Zhuge Liang's view, it is not a question of the size of the loss, but a question of whether it is necessary to risk the loss. Again, if Wei Yan is really broken because of this, it will not be a small loss.

The second reason is that Zhuge Liang calculates that even if Wei Yan can successfully attack Tongguan, with Zhang Xi's current strength, even if he adds the Liangzhou army brought by Zhao Yun, it may be difficult to break through Cao Zhen's interception in a short period of time and support Tongguan in time.

Therefore, in Zhuge Liang's view, this is still a somewhat taken for granted and not very practical plan.

But the problem is that Zhang Xi is the main general of the front line, and even if Zhao Yun is the respect of General Wei, he needs to obey Zhang Xi, the former general, the command of the Yongzhou Assassin Shi when he arrives at the front line.

Zhuge Liang could only try his best to make up for it.

For this reason, Zhuge Liang first ordered Chen Yi and Liu Yin, who were right-handed, to Liu Yin to divide 3,000 troops to Chen Yi, and let him rush back to Chang'an as soon as possible.

As for the rabble composed of the grain transport team, Zhuge Liang meant to hand it over to Liu Yin to take care of, as long as they didn't make trouble, they would go, but they would definitely not be released back to Chang'an immediately.

After Chen Yi led the troops to Chang'an, Zhuge Liang explained some things about the town guard, and left Chang'an with only ten personal guards, went to Changling first, transferred troops from Zuo Fengyi Taishou Hu Zun stationed here, and rushed to Chongquan County with Xiang Pet and the three thousand soldiers and horses from Hu Zun.

After converging with Zhang Yi, who was stationed in Chongquan County, Zhuge Liang took Zhang Yi, Xiang Pet and the two people, and a total of 8,000 Yongzhou County soldiers to rush to Tongguan.

Zhuge Liang's purpose is to bring the most needed troops to Zhang Xi as soon as possible, if Zhang Xi's attack is smooth now, then the troops brought by Zhuge Liang can also help Zhang Xi encircle Cao Zhen's main army, if Zhang Xi's attack does not go well, Zhuge Liang can at least lead his troops to meet Zhang Xi's retreat.

Then when Zhuge Liang was marching to Huayin County, he found a Han army of thousands of people, which was strangely besieging the county town guarded by thousands of Wei troops

Zhuge Liang really didn't understand where his own army had the courage to take the initiative to attack the city in the case of a one-to-one comparison of troops, and what a waste the Wei army guards were, they were beaten by the Han army and did not dare to go out of the city to fight in the case of a one-to-one ratio of troops.

But no matter what, Zhuge Liang definitely can't look at this own army.

On the one hand, he created momentum from the flanks to deter the Wei army in Huayin County, and on the other hand, he gathered the troops of the besieging Han army, and at the same time met with the besieging generals of the Han army and inquired about the battle situation ahead.

Then Zhuge Liang met the general of the Liangzhou army who changed his name to siege, and also understood what was going on in this confusing siege war.

Zhuge Liang is not a fool, how can he not see through this kind of temporary name change and merit.

But Zhuge Liang finally acquiesced to the general's approach and did not give any punishment.

Not for anything else, just because Zhuge Liang knows this general. This is the leader of a small tribe of the Di tribe, which is not surprising, such a tribe can be said to be everywhere in Liangzhou.

However, this general, after the Han Dynasty recovered Liangzhou, directly asked Zhao Yun to move the clan internally, and was willing to take the initiative to give up the position of the leader, and asked the Han to organize their tribes into households and become Han people.

It is precisely because of the practice of this Diren general that Zhuge Liang saw the possibility of incorporating foreign tribes in Liangzhou and expanding Dingkou. Although it has not been too smooth until now, Zhuge Liang at least knows this person.

In order to set a benchmark for his own policy, Zhuge Liang certainly would not easily punish this general, and even promoted him from a general to a partial general.

As for the Wei army in Huayin County. Zhuge Liang was also pondering that it was not appropriate for such an important joint point to be stuck by the Wei army after all, and he was wondering whether to lead the troops and attack Huayin County.

But at this time, Zhuge Liang once again received a battle report sent from Tongguan to the rear, and learned that the battle of Tongguan had ended, and Cao Zhen finally withdrew to the pass with more than 25,000 soldiers.

In this case, Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry to go to Tongguan, on the contrary, he sent a messenger with this battle report to persuade the Wei generals who were still holding on in Huayin County.

Your boss has run away, and you've given up. What's the point of holding on any longer?!

It's better to come down.

The envoy who persuaded him to go to Huayin County turned around in only half a day, bringing the conditions of the chief general of the Wei army - inviting Zhuge Liang to talk before the battle.

Zhuge Liang was still wondering, who are they, they are already in a desperate situation and still put such a big score. As a result, as soon as he heard that it was Wang Lang, Zhuge Liang immediately got up to bathe and change clothes, personally sat on his own frame, and went to meet Wang Lang in Huayin County.

It's not that Prime Minister Zhuge will inevitably trigger any strange passive effect when he meets Wang Situ, mainly because Wang Lang is a famous man in the world, and he is already in his seventies, Zhuge Liang, as a junior, must give Wang Lang this face.

Again, the current position has been completely reversed from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is not that Wang Situ wants to persuade Zhuge Liang to surrender, but that Zhuge Liang wants to persuade Wang Situ to surrender. Our Wang Situ is not the kind of loyal person who is Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, this person has the possibility of persuasion.

And once Wang Lang can be persuaded to surrender, whether it is political influence or influence in the world, it is very great. Zhuge Liang had to be cautious.

In fact, although Wang Lang is over seventy years old, he really has no intention of being loyal to the Great Wei. You didn't notify the old man when Cao Zhen ran, and you still expect the old man to cut the whole festival for you?!

Wang Lang didn't want to die in vain, but the problem now is that even if Wang Lang wants to surrender, he can't take the initiative to express this meaning because of his status as a famous man in the world.

So, meeting Zhuge Liang is actually Wang Lang's hope to get a step from Zhuge Liang's side, a reason that can prevent his reputation from being damaged. Like Xu Jing, Wang Lang can't do it.

Of course, Zhuge Liang also knew what Wang Lang meant, so Zhuge Liang did a full set and gave Wang Lang enough face.

Zhuge Liang emphasized Wang Lang's side as a Hanchen, and said a word about Wang Lang's appearance as a scholar of Cao Wei, and the Spring and Autumn Period penmanship played a thief.

In the end, Zhuge Liang did not mention the word "persuasion" at all, but only said that the emperor of the Han Dynasty had long admired Wang Lang's name, and the students of Shu Middle School were also eager to ask Wang Lang for teaching, but they had not been able to find the law.

Now Zhuge Liang is fortunate to meet Wang Lang, of course, he wants to invite Wang Lang to Chengdu for the Son of Heaven and the students of Shu Middle School. Of course, the main purpose is to give lectures, but if Wang Lang is willing to be a big man, the big man is also willing to take the position of Situ and wait for the empty seat.

The conditions have been put forward, and the face has been given, although Wang Lang still has some concerns, but considering the current situation, no matter how hypocritical he is, he will really explain Well, the old man is in his seventies, of course, he will not covet glory and wealth, mainly because the middle school students in Shu are gracious and difficult, so he went to Shuzhong to teach knowledge.

In this way, the county order of Huayin County, Kaesong surrendered. It really has nothing to do with Wang Lang.

And after Zhuge Liang entered the city, he was even more respectful and polite to Wang Lang, and he bowed as a disciple all the time, giving Wang Lang enough face, and even when Wang Lang set off for Chengdu, Zhuge Liang personally led the horse and rope to guide Wang Lang to the whole world, and Wang Lang was the only one who could make Zhuge Liang do this.

In this way, Wang Lang happily went to Chengdu.

As for Wang Lang's family. Wang Lang is not worried.

What are you doing, the old man didn't surrender, but the emperor of the Han Dynasty heard that I was good at learning and invited me to Chengdu to give a lecture on the matter of learning people, can it be called surrender? !

Well, even if you take a step back, the old man has surrendered and the old man in his seventies has to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, and in the end he did not die in the hands of the enemy, but was sold by his own people and left in the lonely city to defend it. It's all like this, you Cao Rong are still embarrassed to ask if an old man has surrendered to the enemy?!

Isn't it a bit too much to even give the last decency?!

This matter, to say that it is a big deal, there are thousands of mistakes, it should be his Cao Zhen's fault, do you still expect an old man in his seventies to turn the tide for you? !

No matter how ruthless Cao Rong is, it is impossible to make any trouble for Wang Lang in this matter, at most he is a little dissatisfied, and even because of Wang Lang's prestige, as well as the reputation and talent of Wang Lang's son Wang Su, he must also help Wang Lang maintain this dignity and treat Wang Lang's family in Luoyang well, otherwise it is easy to make the world's family "chill".

After sending Wang Lang away, Zhuge Liang disbanded the surrendered Wei army, took away the Liangzhou army besieging the city, and collected more than 10,000 troops all the way like collecting cards, and set off in the direction of Tongguan.

And on the fourth day after the end of the Battle of Tongguan, he arrived at the front line of Tongguan, and under the greeting of Zhang Xi, Zhao Yun and others, he entered the Chinese military tent and presided over the Northern Expedition.

And the first thing Zhuge Liang did when he arrived in the army was to beat the drum and gather the generals to discuss the next battle plan.

Tongguan, how to fight !!
