Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 805

Wei Yan seemed to be standing on a high mountain and shouting, his echo echoed across the vast field, but there was no response from the Wei army.

"Yang Qiu, since you want to be loyal to Cao Pi, do you dare to fight?" Wei Yan pointed his target at Yang Qiu.

In the battle of Hanzhong a few years ago, Wei Yan was able to fight back and forth with Zhang Yun and Xu Huang. Yang Qiu would not die at this age. General Xiahou is in charge."

"Since you can't make the decision, then call out Xia Houmao. If he is afraid of this general, I can replace him." Wei Yan glanced at Ma Dai while speaking.

Yang Qiu was startled when he heard that, knowing that the Gaoliang disciple was no match for Ma Dai, he hurriedly prevaricated: "Xiahou's son-in-law is not here, this is Xiahou Junlin, the general who conquered Shu."

"It turned out to be Xia Houru, what are you doing hiding behind? What kind of waste did Xiahou's family produce?" Wei Yan continued to speak one after another.

"You just wait for me."

Yang Qiu turned his horse's head and went back to the front of the formation, but seeing Xia Houru's face was sullen, he thought to himself, what did I say wrong just now?
"Wei Yan is aggressive," Yang Qiu said cautiously.

"Why does this general fight him so bravely? This kind of man is not worthy to be my enemy." Xia Houru replied coldly, thinking that Wei Yan would let him go if he didn't recognize Xia Houmao, why did you tell me?Can you do whatever you want after removing your armor?
"That..." Yang Qiu hesitated to speak.

"It seems that there are heavy troops in Chang'an, and he immediately ordered the rear army to change to the front team. The rear army is ready to cover, and listen to my order to withdraw to the north of the Wei River." Xia Houru was timid before fighting.

"Ah, I obey." Yang Qiu was speechless.

Yang Qiu didn't respond after returning to the battle, Wei Yan and Ma Dai were bored before the battle, wondering if Xia Houru was going to get married?It takes so long to prepare?

"General, the formation of the Wei army's rear has changed suddenly, and it seems that they intend to escape." Wang Ping urged to report immediately.

Wei Yan was overjoyed when he heard that: "Deng Shizai is a true general, and ordered all the battalions to prepare for battle. When Xia Houru's army starts to move, we will chase after them and take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill them for a while."

"Wei." Wang Ping cupped his fists and left.

Xia Houru moved the army secretly. In order to hold back Wei Yan who was still waiting "recklessly", he sent Yang Qiu to the front of the battle to pull him. Seeing that Wei Yan had no other response, he thought he had concealed it from the other party.

"Xia Houru wanted to run, so he ordered the whole army to pursue him." Wei Yan and Yang Qiu suddenly raised their swords forward while Wei Yan and Yang Qiu were talking, and the soldiers and horses behind them rushed towards him like a tide.

Seeing this, Yang Qiu turned around and pumped his horse's butt. It turned out that Xia Houru's central army had already started to move. No wonder Wei Yan was so 'angry'.

Both sides were mainly infantry, and a small amount of cavalry was mainly for reconnaissance and spying. Even though they were overwhelmingly chasing, Wei Yan's troops did not kill many enemies. On the contrary, when they chased to the Wei Bridge, it was crowded because of the narrow bridge. Stampede, many Wei soldiers were squeezed into the icy Weishui.

Wei Yan chased to Weiqiao and stopped moving forward. Seeing that Xia Houru had fled without a trace, Wei Yan left hundreds of people to garrison Weiqiao, and then led the army back to Chang'an.

Xia Houru fled to Anling to count the troops, and found that more than [-] people had been lost. He was now facing an embarrassing situation. With his current strength, he could not defeat Wei Yan, and he could not explain to Cao Zhen when he returned to Tianshui.

Yang Qiu saw Xia Houru's worry, so he clasped his fists and offered a plan, saying: "The bandit army in Chang'an is powerful, and it is wise for the general to avoid the edge for now. Since General Zhang is still standing firm in Chen Cang, we may not be able to turn defeat into victory."

"Go on."

"The main issue is logistics and rations. The more people Liu Bei enters Yongliang, the more food and grass he needs to consume. In order to fight against Zhang Fei, General Zidan transferred most of the rations to Liangzhou. Now there are not enough food in Yongzhou. There are too many, Liu Bei has to transport food from the middle of Shu, the roads of Shu are dangerous and narrow, and there are at most two stones left in ten stones of grain, and it will take infinite manpower. If they can be trapped for a few days, the whole Yizhou may collapse Lose."

Xia Houru listened to Yang Qiuzhi's words and thought deeply, "After all, veterans on the battlefield can see opportunities even in crises. Liu Bei is far from popular, and it will take time even to farm in Guanzhong. As long as they don't give them a chance to breathe, wait for Zidan The general and His Majesty wake up, and they will be able to gather and wipe them out."

Yang Qiu suggested: "Xiahou's son-in-law has already gone to Luoyang to ask for help. At the end of the day, he plans to go to Anding to contact Cui Taishou. General Junlin had better report the situation here to General Zidan."

Xia Houru nodded and replied: "That's very good. The Marquis of Linjing will go to Anding as soon as possible, and wait for General Zidan's general order to move. I will lead troops westward to station in Yong County. While waiting for reinforcements from Tianshui, I will see if I can support Zhang He. "

"The general must be cautious. Liu Bei deliberately sent reinforcements around Chencang, and he was caught in an ambush by Fazheng." Yang Qiu reminded.

"Don't worry, Marquis Linjing, I will make my own calculations." Xia Houru nodded slightly.

After Wei Yan returned to Chang'an for a short rest, he followed Deng Ai's suggestion and sent troops again. He left Deng Ai and Ma Dai to guard Chang'an, and cleared obstacles for Liu Bei all the way west.

Because the Guanzhong garrison is concentrated in Chang'an and Chencang, Wei Yan can travel unimpeded along the way, and Wugong, Mei County and other places are waiting for the wind.

On the fifth day of the first month of the following year, Wei Yan led his troops to the east of Chencang. At this time, Chencang's offensive and defensive battle lasted for more than a month, and it had reached a white-hot stage.

The scouts informed that Wei Yan was leading an army from the east, and all the generals in the tent looked surprised, but Liu Bei and Fazheng smiled and remained silent.

"I remember that the king dispatched [-] soldiers to Wen Chang (Wei Yan). Could it be that he has crossed the Baoxie Road to take down Mei County? Without the support from Chang'an, it is only a matter of time before Zhang Yun is taken down." Huang Zhong stroked his white beard. analyze.

Fa Zhengzheng shook his head: "It's small, the layout is small, I expect Wenchang to have captured Chang'an."

"How is it possible?" Even Zhao Yun didn't believe it this time.

"Everything is possible." Fazheng smiled mysteriously.

Not long after, Wei Yan led his troops to Dongdaying. Liu Bei couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and personally led all the generals out of the camp to meet them. The news of capturing Chang'an was confirmed.

Liu Bei took Wei Yan's hand and returned to the big tent. The soldiers swept away the decline of the attack on Chencang, and their faces showed joyful expressions.

"Military Master, Chen Cang blocked us for more than a month, lost too many soldiers, and cost countless money and food. Fortunately, Wen Chang and Shi Zai have made great achievements. How should we deploy next? Abandon Chen Cang and go straight to Chang'an." Liu Bei asked Ji Fazheng.

Fa Zheng stroked his beard and replied: "Although Chen Cang is like a thorn in his throat, it is not so important at this time. My lord should enter Chang'an as soon as possible. I expect Cao Pi to react at this time. It is estimated that he will organize a counterattack soon. The most urgent thing is to deploy around Chang'an, otherwise When enemies from all directions come to attack, we will fall into a passive position.”

"Xiaozhi's words are very true, but Zhang Yun can't ignore them. Does the military master have a clever way to deal with it?" Liu Bei nodded in agreement.

Fazheng replied: "Your Majesty, please wait and see. When our main force moves eastward, Zhang He in the city will panic even more, and maybe he will voluntarily abandon the city."

All the generals in the tent were skeptical, thinking what is the reason for this?
