"These Wei people are all from Wang Ba, and they are all like this."

In the jungle to the west of the Father's City, Ma Tan and hundreds of cavalry were hiding here. Hidden for several days, the Wei army could not leave the city, which made Ma Jian speechless.

At this moment, Wang Ping, Jufu, and Ma Zhong were dressed up as Ma Tan, and each led a soldier and horse to station, all under the banner of the general of the expedition to the north. And Ma Jian himself hid in the jungle with hundreds of guards, waiting for the Wei army to come out and attack around the rear.

But Qin Lang was even more cowardly than he imagined, and he had been cowering in the city for so many days. Although this is beneficial to Ma Tan, it still makes Ma Jian very unhappy that he has no battle to fight.

Just the banner of a general who conquered the north scared you like this? Can you pseudo-Wei generals have a little backbone!

"General, the vanguard of the Huainan Wei army in the south has arrived in Dingling, and it is not far from Kunyang." At this time, the adjutant general reported to Ma Yan,

"And the people of Kunyang have almost evacuated, and at this time Kunyang has completed the clearing of the wall. If we continue to delay here, it is easy to be caught by the Huainan Wei army, so let's retreat first! ”

"It's a pity, what a great opportunity." Ma Jian shook his head, regretting that he could not deliver a fatal blow to the Wei army.

"That's it, let's withdraw to Kunyang first, the Wei army was disturbed by this attack, and it is estimated that they will be a lot more vigilant in the future."

"Yui!"

After the three horses came north with great fanfare, Qin Lang shrank into the city and did not come out. After the Han army was stationed here for several days, Qin Lang received news that the Han army had retreated.

"The Shu soldiers have retreated? Retired at this time?? Seeing this, Qin Lang hesitated for a moment, then thought of something, and suddenly felt happy in his heart,

"Could it be that the army of Mandu has arrived? The Shu army had to retreat? ”

Now that the Han army is in an advantageous position, it is absolutely impossible for Ma Tan's character to retreat. Now that the superior side suddenly withdraws its troops, there is a high probability that there is a reason to have to retreat.

After thinking about it, only the favored Huainan army arrived and forced Ma Jian to retreat.

Case...... Qin Lang began to ponder, considering whether to lead the troops in pursuit.

If the Shu army retreats urgently, he will definitely be able to achieve great success by following and attacking. If he is lucky and captures a few captains of the Shu army, then he can even gain more favor from Cao Rui.

But after some deep groaning, Qin Lang shook his head categorically and rejected the idea.

"Ma Jian is cunning and good at fighting, even if he withdraws his troops, he will definitely be prepared. What's more, there is no contact with Mandu Governor now, and it is difficult to determine whether this is a trick by the Shu army to lure the enemy......"

After Qin Lang pondered for a while, he still felt that it was safe not to chase after him. Originally, there was no need for this, even if there was no military exploits, as long as it was not too big for him, he would not lose his favor.

Since that's the case, there's no need to take risks.

Qin Lang made an order that could not be defended, and categorically refused Cao Shuang's invitation to fight. Cao Shuang was very dissatisfied with this, but there was no way to face Qin Lang and take out the handsome seal.

Qin Lang made a correct decision, because when the Han army retreated, Ma Yan personally led more than 500 people from his headquarters to the palace. As long as the Wei army dared to pursue, Ma Jian was ready to teach Qin Lang to be a man in person.

In the end, the Wei army did not pursue, and more than 10,000 Han troops successfully retreated to Kunyang. The Huainan Wei army in Dingling had the idea of attacking, but because of the small number of vanguard soldiers and horses, and Qin Lang did not pursue, he had to give up the idea.

Until the Han army retreated to Kunyang for several days, Qin Lang confirmed many times that the Han army was not ambushed. Only then did he lead the Central Army to slowly march southward with extreme caution.

At the same time, Man Chong personally led 80,000 people from Huainan to Dingling along the Huaishui River to the north and threatened Kunyang in the west. At the same time, the main force of Qin Lang's Central Army arrived at Dingling and joined forces with Manchu, with a total strength of 100,000 people, and the Wei army reached its peak since then.

"I've seen the hussar general!" After seeing Qin Lang, Man Pet immediately saluted and said.

"What did Mandu Governor say, I was only ordered to bring troops here. The generals who are really in charge of fighting the war are still you generals, and I should say hello to you. Qin Lang immediately returned the salute and saluted to the full pet and said.

Qin Lang is low-key, extremely good at observing words and feelings, and knows who should be respected. With the help of a big leader of a family like Man Chong and an old revolutionary, he still has to be respected.

Full pet is very useful for this, and then the two of them fake small talk, and full pet quickly got to the point.

"General Qin, this time the Shu army went east, most likely because it wanted to reproduce the things of Longyou in the past, and raided to occupy Nanyang. And the importance of Nanyang, there is no need to say much, the general also knows. ”

"The problem now is that the thief is cunning and warlike, and he is extremely difficult to deal with. Now that he personally led the troops in Kunyang, I am afraid that it is not so easy to fight. ”

Man Pet quickly conducted a series of analyses, and Qin Lang also listened carefully. In the end, full of favor made his judgment,

"Ma Yan's goal is obviously to use Kunyang to hold us back and give most of his troops and horses time to delay. We can't just go the way he gave us, it's too bad. ”

"If the Mandu Governor has any instructions, he can say it directly, and there is no need to be so tactful. Before leaving Luoyang, His Majesty instructed that you should make up your mind about all major matters. Qin Lang replied calmly.

"Very good, General Qin is a happy person!" Man Pet nodded slightly, then pointed his hand and pointed to a place in the south.

"Wuyin is still in the hands of our army, and from there you can also enter the Nanyang Basin. Although the road was rough and difficult for the army to pass, this was our only chance. ”

"A certain member of the Kunyang front line will lead the main force to attack, so that Ma Jian cannot move. I also asked General Qin to lead troops to the south and enter Wuyin, if he can enter Nanyang smoothly, he will definitely be able to break the Shu army in a battle! ”

Qin Lang did not hesitate at all, and took it very smoothly. After the two sides exchanged politeness, Qin Lang immediately led his troops to Runan, preparing to enter Nanyang from Wuyin.

After supporting Qin Lang, full of favor can now monopolize the entire Kunyang battle exploits. From the very beginning, Man Pet intended to use Ma Jian as his stepping stone.

"Ma Youchang, Ma Youchang, dare to be so big, only with more than 10,000 soldiers, he dares to stand up in Kunyang." Full Pet looked at the small Kunyang City, as if he was looking at his own military exploits.

"Is it really because you can win every battle? Do you really think that you can have God's help like Liu Xiu in the past? ”

"This time, you will be wiped out like the Eastern Wu soldiers and horses I defeated!"

While Man Zhong was talking, countless Wei soldiers were constantly building pontoon bridges to cross the river. More than 80,000 Huainan elite soldiers, under the leadership of various departments, began to surround the head of Kunyang City.

The battle of Kunyang, which represents the ownership of Nanyang, officially broke out.
