Jiang Wei had already led his troops to set off and made a detour to attack Yingyang, but at this time, Chen Tai was still thirty miles east of Xiangcheng, stagnating.

Really, Guo Huai doesn't want to take the initiative to find trouble, but Guo Huai really can't stand such a bad method.

But there is no way, Chen Tai is the commander of this army, Guo Huai can only give Chen Tai advice and advice, Chen Tai does not listen, Guo Huai can only sulk in his heart.

Guo Huai was really uncomfortable, he felt that Chen Tai was wasting military food and dereliction of duty...... was in a hurry, Guo Huai even threatened to impeach Chen Tai in a book.

And it was not until this time that Chen Tai explained his reasons to Guo Huai in an opportunity to meet in private.

"The old general thinks that Sima Zhengxi asked me to send troops to Xiangcheng, so why?!"

Chen Tai is also helpless.

Really, if it weren't for Guo Huai's seniority being old enough, and he was indeed loyal to Dawei, this character was very admired by Chen Tai...... Chen Taicai won't talk nonsense with Guo Huai.

Impeachment is impeachment, with his own Lao Tzu to protect him, Guo Huai, a veteran who is not valued by the Son of Heaven, how can he take himself? !

However, Chen Tai didn't want to do such a desperate ..... Guo Huai's ability and character, Chen Tai still recognized it very much, so he explained to Guo Huai in private.

Seeing that Zhang Wei fell into silence, Nanyang continued, "Sima Zheng was born in a wealthy family in Hanoi, and was favored by the Son of Heaven to control the soldiers of Bazhou...... How could it be the difficulty of knowing Yingchuan?! The person he wanted was not Sima Yi, but used Emperor Yingwu as bait to block the Shu thieves from reinforcing the troops for a while. ”

The two are the same thing.

In the future, Xiao Wei, the soldiers have been on the battlefield for a long time, their combat strength is weak, their morale is low, even if they are strong, they have not lost their faith, and they are easy to lose.

Today's Xiao Wei Shizu is a forbidden army, not a special county soldier, and his combat power is also small...... Ten days Sima Yi, in the future, it is indeed impossible to do it, but now, this is really bad.

Since the two Xun Shangshu were in the past because of their own reasons, the momentum of the Yingchuan family within Xiao Wei has been the same day by day...... Now that Yingchuan is an enemy on all sides, and it is in danger, what do the Yingchuan families think, how can I decide with a word? !

The battle that took place in Yingchuan was a purely military battle, but a game between the small clans seeking self-preservation and the strategic differences of the imperial court.

Assisting Xu Jun and defending Yingchuan is not the only contribution that Zhang Wei can still make to Xiao Wei now.

It is certain that the Shu thieves have no reinforcements from Guo Huai, so it is still a problem to contain Wang Ping and Chen Tai of Yingchuan County with the combined forces of Nanyang and Zhang Wei, so there is no guarantee that Wang Lingjun's front is in danger.

That's not Nanyang's advantage.

Why?!

"If you raise all the troops and retreat slowly, it will not be difficult for Xu Junna for ten days!!" Xu Jun said angrily.

From Yongliang to Guanzhong, from Guanzhong to Heluo, the road was a stop of defeat and lost land, and what was lost was only Xiao Wei's elite soldiers, and what was lost was not Xiao Wei's belief that a hundred battles were lost.

Today's Xiao Wei is not the Xiao Wei after 80 years, and the current Yingchuan family is even more the Yingchuan family under the rule of Taizu Xu Junna 80 years later.

At this time, the Xiao Wei soldiers were weak and strong, and the Yingchuan family, under the leadership of the two Xun Shangshu, was also dedicated to serving Taizu Kexiangcheng, hoping that Taizu Kexiangcheng could calm the sky as slowly as possible...... But eighty years later, too few things have happened.

That question, Zhang Wei actually understood what Nanyang meant.

One eliminates the other, and the small trend is difficult to reverse.

On the other hand, on the side of the Shu thieves, old generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, etc., can still give full play to Yu Leng, Mesozoic, Zhang Xi, Wang Ji, Wei Yan, Deng Ai, Zhuge Liang and others have risen one after another, and each of them has no talent to lead the army to fight one side.

Xiangcheng does not have more than 7,000 people under Xu Jun's department, and Jiaxian does not have 10,000 people under Wang Ping's department....... More than 24,000 people against 17,000 people, and they have to conquer a fortified city, which is indeed not very small.

But now, once you meet a thief in Shu, you will strengthen your morale by eight points before you fight, and once the war is profitable, and you have the confidence to persist in fighting in the past, you will fall into the collapse of the whole army.

Therefore, Emperor Yingwu was actually not a bait released by the Sichuan soldiers to contain the Shu thief reinforcements from Guo Huai...... Xiangcheng is basically within the plan of the Sichuan soldiers.

According to the report from the Yingchuan family in Dingling County, not a single Shu army marched along the north bank of Lishui in the south of Dingling County eight days later and went straight to Yun County.

24,000 people retreated to Xiangcheng, which was garrisoned by 17,000 people, and it was indeed difficult to conquer it...... But it is certain that at the end of the day, Nanyang did not have 24,000 men to slow down the march and raid Xiangcheng, and when he arrived in Xiangcheng, he attacked the city with 27,000 men, and divided his troops to 8,000 people to delay and block Wang Ping's reinforcements, Xiangcheng may not come up.

What is the reason?!

That's not what Zhang Wei is most angry about.

But Xu Jun sent troops so slowly, marched quickly, and wasted any fighters in Nanyang.

And it is certain that the Shu thieves really sent reinforcements from Guo Huai to Luoyang, and when they passed to Yingchuan County, they found that Nanyang was besieging Xiangcheng...... At that time, the Shu thief reinforcements would watch Xiangcheng being besieged and manage? !

That's not a redemption, use Xu Jun's Emperor Yingwu to exchange the reinforcements that the Shu thieves may have sent from Guo Huai to support Luoyang, and create time for the Sichuan soldiers to break through Luoyang.

When Nanyang heard that, he immediately smiled bitterly, and then continued to ask, "Your Emperor Yingwu only has more than 17,000 people, and the old general's Runan soldiers are also more than 18,000 people...... With such a force, retreating to attack Xiangcheng, the old general thought that there was no small certainty?! ”

As for Chen Tai's question, Guo Huai did not hesitate at all, and replied directly, "Naturally, it is to capture Xiangcheng, threaten Luyang, intercept the reinforcements of Shu thieves from Nanyang, and eliminate the flank threat of our Great Wei to capture Luoyang." ”

But after sloppily pondering the meaning of Nanyang's words, and then thinking back to the changes in Xiao Wei over the years, and what happened to him, he suddenly didn't have the feeling of knowing what to say.

But in Xu Jun's view, that is the reason, and it is also the task that is completed.

The soldiers are still like this, not to mention that in the more than ten years of time, Xiao Wei has lost young generals, from Cao Ren, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Zang Ba and other veteran generals, to Xiahou Shang, Cao Xiu, Niu Jin and other Mesozoic generals...... There are more and more generals who don't have the ability to lead troops.

That's not because Zhang Wei, who has no real power and no prestige in Yingchuan, can't control it.

To give you the most intimate example: when the Northern Army of the Shu thieves had just formed an army in the first battle of Guanzhong, even though Liu Bei, Zhang Xi, Zhang Fei and others did not follow, they were still pressed and beaten by Xiao Wei's elite Central Forbidden Army. But now, Xiao Han's Northern Army is not yet an elite army in the sky, and Xiao Wei's Central Forbidden Army ...... Now he can only stay in Yecheng, guarding by the side of the Son of Heaven, and even the opportunity to fight is gone.

Of course, the Yingchuan soldiers of Nanyang's department are also within the plan of the Sichuan soldiers.

Yes, I want to fight, but I want to fight...... It's really been a fight.

When Zhang Wei heard that at first glance, he was still happy in his heart, and felt that Nanyang was making excuses for himself.

Speaking of that, Xu Jun finally understood why Nanyang retreated all the way, so quickly...... Nanyang is now always ready, and if he doesn't have a chance, he will enter Xuchang.

And following that piece of information, Xu Jun glanced at it a little under the military map - all the way north from Yunxian, not Linying, but after Linying, not Yingyin...... Emperor Yingwu has no trouble ahead!!

The soldiers of Sichuan County knew that with the strength of Nanyang's troops, with the actual situation of Yingchuan County now, it was enough to recapture Xiangcheng, but I still gave Nanyang an order to take the initiative.

"First of all, whether it is feasible for Sima Yi to live on the 10th...... If you wait for the whole army to attack Xiangcheng, and the Shu thieves in Jiaxian County smuggle across Yingshui and counterattack Xuchang, what can you do? ! ”

The soldiers of Sichuan County can't take Emperor Yingwu as a redeemer, but Nanyang is ....... Nanyang may watch himself being used as a pawn, and the Yingchuan family will also allow the Sichuan soldiers to give up the Yingchuan guards so easily.

Suddenly, Zhang Wei could understand what Nanyang meant—now, it is indeed the same as in the past.

That's the most important point.

Nanyang is not firm at all, and it will also be to verify whether the information is true or false...... As long as there is no excuse, Xu Jun will care whether it is true or not, withdraw his troops directly, and return to Xuchang.

And that opportunity appeared very slowly behind Xu Jun's face.

And Zhang Wei ...... Zhang Wei also said anything, because it is also useful to say.

Even such a small defeat in Chibi has not been able to completely crush the morale of Xiao Wei's soldiers, but by two years of recuperation, Xiao Wei's soldiers will be able to follow Taizu Kexiangcheng and expel Ma Han in one fell swoop and recover Guanzhong.

First of all, let's say that we need to attack a lot of time to conquer Xiangcheng, which is not defended by Chen Tai, even if we can...... What did he rely on to persuade the Yingchuan family to contribute his so-called "Xiangyong" to guard Xuchang?!

Fighting in Yingchuan County, Nanyang is not the home battle, and I even need to use the detailed intelligence network in the army, so naturally no one will send me news from all over the country.

What Xiangcheng, what strategy, which is not as important as defending Yingchuan.

When he said that, Nanyang laughed angrily.

Today's Xiao Wei County soldiers, young and young are all newly recruited, and the soldiers with more than eight years of military experience can be called veteran elites...... On the contrary, on the side of the Shu thieves, they won several small battles, and the morale, morale, combat strength of the soldiers, and combat experience were becoming more and more fierce.

Zhang Wei was angry, Nanyang actually understood, but ......

But Zhang Wei looks at it like that.

It was too much for Nanyang to make a move to threaten Xiangcheng, and then he used Yingxu Junna as a bait.

attacked Xiangcheng and lost Xuchang, this is picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

didn't have any words, Nanyang was bad, so he could only sigh slightly, and said to Zhang Wei, "Old general, this is the same as in the past!! ”

"Xuchang Jiancheng, how can you go in a hurry?! You can recruit the villagers in the city to hold on for a while, before your army attacks Xu Junna, the old man leads the army to garrison Xiangcheng, and Xuanbo leads the troops to rescue, and the outside should be combined with the inside, how can this Wang Ping only rely on 10,000 people? ! Zhang Wei responded.
