Han Shimou

Chapter 938 Liu Bei's Forbearance

It is said that Cheng Gongying led his troops to the rescue, and the morale of the soldiers in the northwest was greatly increased, and they fought back hard.Zhang Ren saw that the situation was extremely serious, and Wen Han was guarded by Zhao Yun, making it difficult to break through, so he hurriedly shouted at Ma Chao.

"Meng Qi! The other army's reinforcements have arrived, so it's not appropriate to make more entanglements, you and I will withdraw together!"

Hearing the words, Ma Chao gritted his teeth, his face was ferocious, but he didn't answer, his eyes fixed on Zhao Yun.Zhang Ren was afraid that Ma Chao might try to fight Zhao Yun head-on, so Zhengyu persuaded him.

At this time, not far from the river bank, there was the sound of horns calling for gold to retreat.With the sound of the horn, the Xichuan army immediately withdrew slowly, and Cheng Gongying quickly led the troops to support Wen Han.When Ma Chao saw most of the soldiers from the Northwest coming, he snorted coldly with a ferocious face, reined in his horse and retreated, Zhang Ren followed suit.

At this time, except for the deployment led by Cheng Gongying, the rest of the remnants were exhausted.Wen Han also did not order to cover up and kill the retreating Xichuan soldiers and horses. He quickly ordered Zhao Yun to lead a police force to meet Wei Yan and Pang De.

Zhao Yun had fought a battle, but he was still full of energy, so he accepted the order generously, raised his gun and led the troops away.Wen Han and Cheng Gongying led the remaining soldiers back to the camp.

Zhao Yun rode his horse at a gallop, led a light cavalry, took a detour and took a shortcut back to Jiameng Pass.

When he was young, Zhao Yun rushed out from a crossing, and saw that Jiameng Pass was full of flames, and many soldiers from the Northwest outside the pass were besieged and killed by Xichuan soldiers.Zhao Yun sternly shouted and led the army straight into the siege. A general Xichuan was covering up and killing the remnants of the northwest soldiers.Zhao Yun's face was cold, and the firelight illuminated his handsome face very clearly.General Xichuan killed him on a flying horse, Zhao Yun shot him suddenly, and killed him off the horse in an instant. Zhao Yun led Qingqi to kill the remaining soldiers, and rushed over to the chaos.

Not long after, Zhao Yun saw Tai Shici and Hua Xiong leading troops to surround Wei Yan and Pang De. After deploying and being trapped for a long time, there were not many left.Zhao Yun's sword eyes were fixed, he raised his gun and rushed his horse, charged into the siege, rushed left and right, and killed a bloody storm, as if entering a land without people.Seeing Zhao Yun's bravery and invincibility, Tai Shici and Hua Xiong were frightened, fearing that they would be attacked, they didn't dare to trust them, so they retreated. \Zhao Yun Chili entered the core, rescued Pang De and Wei Yan, and then fought and left. Wherever he went, no one dared to stop him, and he was powerful in all directions.Jiameng's pass is like Zhao Yun's battlefield alone!

Dawn is approaching, and the fire at Jiameng Pass is still burning, and the bright red flame seems to compete with the bright sun.In addition, Zhao Yun, Pang De, Wei Yan and other generals led the remnants of the army back to the camp, and each army counted casualties. Last night, a fire at Jiameng Pass killed nearly [-] soldiers and horses.There were endless cries and cries of pain in the village.But the wounded soldiers gathered together, telling the pain of losing brothers and sisters, abandoning companions and dead relatives, each beating his breast and crying loudly.

Wen Han heard it clearly in the tent, his face was extremely sad, and he regretted in his heart that he was eager for quick success and quick profit, did not listen to Cheng Gongying's advice, and fell into the filial piety of the law.

When I was young, all civil and military personnel from the northwest gathered under Wenhan's tent.Everyone was ashamed and bloodstained.Li You reported the casualties of his own army in the battle last night. Everyone heard that nearly half of the soldiers and horses were lost, and all of them changed their colors.Wen Han hissed and sighed, the expression in Dao's eyes was complicated, not only the color of pain, but also deep exhaustion.

The war against Xichuan lasted for several years, and nearly [-] troops were mobilized, but now there is still not an inch of land left, and from the army to this day, there are only less than [-] troops left.

"At that time, our army fought again and again, food was difficult, and we lost a lot of troops. Now we have been defeated for a while. If we march again, the soldiers will be tired and the people will be exhausted and have no intention of fighting. My wheat is ripe, the army is full of food, and the soldiers can rest and save energy. Rui, do the drawing again, do you have any objections?"

As soon as Wen Han said this, the expressions of everyone at the table changed rapidly.Wei Yan's eyes widened, his face was full of unwillingness, and he said in attendance.

"If our army withdraws our troops at this time, wouldn't we let that traitor Liu Xuande build up his strength in Yizhou? This man is treacherous and cunning, and he has Jingzhou as his basis. If he wins Yizhou again, he will be successful. Crusade, it must be difficult to reach the sky, I hope the lord think twice!!!"

Wei Yan's words continued, Li You quickly attended and retorted.

"General Wei's words are wrong. Now our army has suffered a lot of losses, and the soldiers are exhausted after repeated battles. In addition, they have been defeated for a while and have no intention of fighting. If we forcefully march out, I am afraid that we will only lose more than we win!"

Wei Yan narrowed his eyes, knowing in his heart what Li You said was true, but he still refused to accept it.

"Although our army suffered heavy casualties in the battle last night, the other army set fire to the Jiameng pass and destroyed the barrier, making it difficult to defend. If our army attacks at this time, we can drive straight into Yizhou! According to a certain person, we should overcome the difficulties now. , Do your best to advance! If successful, Yizhou can be settled!"

Cheng Gongying's brows were deeply furrowed, and Wei Yan retorted as soon as he finished speaking.

"No. Our army's current strength is meager. Even if we conquer Yizhou, it will be difficult to defend it. What's more, there are many barbarians living near Yizhou. If the barbarians take advantage of the situation and rebel, what should we do!? This matter must not be rushed!"

As soon as Cheng Gongying said this, Wei Yan was speechless for a moment.At this moment, Zhang Song slowly attended and said.

"You don't need to argue too much. There is a plan, which can make Liu Xuande's situation unstable and chaotic, so that our army can take advantage of it!"

Wen Han's face brightened when he heard the words, and he hurriedly asked Zhang Song.

"What clever plan does Ziqiao have, tell me quickly!"

Zhang Song cupped his hands in salute, his expression froze, and he opened his mouth to speak.

"I heard that Meng Huo is the king at this time in the realm of the barbarians. In the past, Meng Huo went to Sichuan to serve, and a certain person had contact with Meng Huo. This man is ambitious, cunning, and greedy for money. If the lord Give Meng Huo a lot of money, and order him to send troops to harass the rear of Yizhou. Liu Bei can't take care of himself. Even if the lord takes advantage of the emptiness and enters again, he will definitely be able to attack Yizhou! Someone volunteered to be an envoy, and told the lord this matter!"

As soon as Zhang Song's words came out, Wen Han suddenly changed drastically, and two horrifying evil lights shot out from the eyes of the knife.Zhang Song only felt distracted for a while, and broke out in a cold sweat from fright, before he recovered, he saw Wen Han suddenly slapped the table and shouted angrily.

"It's a bunch of nonsense!!! We wait for the territory of the Han people, how can we allow people of other races to invade, this matter can't be mentioned again, otherwise we will never let it go lightly!!!"

Wen Han's voice was like thunder, shaking the whole tent.Li You glanced secretly at Zhang Song, Zhang Song realized that Wen Han had always hated people of other races, from his attitude towards Northern Qiang and Western Qiang Hu people.After Zhang Song quickly knelt down and confessed his crime, he returned to the seat obediently.When Wei Yan and the others saw Wen Han's sudden rage, they thought Zhang Song's plan was feasible, but they dared not persuade him.

Wen Han then discussed with a group of civil and military personnel, and finally made a decision to withdraw the army and return to Anhan, and only then marched again when the soldiers could rest and the food was ready.As soon as Wen Han's order came down, all the generals took orders to organize their own troops and prepare for the retreat.

In addition, after Liu Bei burned most of the Northwest soldiers and horses in Jiameng Pass, he quickly withdrew them back to Fushui Pass and guarded them closely to guard against the Northwest Army.

It was riday, and Liu Bei was gathering a group of civil and military officials to discuss matters in the battle building.Huang Quan cupped his hands and said before the table.

"The Northwest Army has been defeated for a while, losing troops and losing generals, and it is no longer able to invade our Xichuan realm. At this time, Xichuan has repeatedly fought, the situation is unstable, and the people are in a panic. My lord should quickly do something to appease the situation in order to stabilize the situation!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei frowned and said hesitantly.

"That being said, the bandit army has not yet retreated, so we must guard against it."

As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, a scout from Xichuan hurried over to report, saying that after the defeat of the Northwest Army, they had assembled their troops and raised their flags in the stronghold.When Liu Bei heard the words, joy surged on his face. Just as he was about to speak, another scout came to report with a flustered face.

Meng Huo, king of the barbarians, mobilized [-] barbarians and invaded and plundered the country.Yongkai, the prefect of Jianning, was born after Shifang Hou Yongchi of the Han Dynasty. Seeing the great chaos in Yizhou and the continuous disasters of war, he had an affair with Meng Huo early on and took advantage of the situation to rebel. Powerful, greedy for life and afraid of death, they all sacrificed their cities.The barbarians were able to drive straight in, except for Wang and his wife, the prefect of Yongchang who refused to rebel.Now Yongkai, Zhu Bao, and Gao Ding's men and horses, all with Meng Huo as guides, are attacking Yongchang County.Mrs. Wang and the meritorious Cao Lu Kai gathered the common people and bravery to guard the city to the death, but the bandits' army was too powerful to resist, and Yongchang was at stake!

When Liu Bei heard the news, his expression changed dramatically instantly, as did Huang Quan, Zhang Ren and other civil and military officials.Zhang Ren attended the ceremony angrily, and shouted in a stern voice.

"The barbarians of the foreign race dare to take advantage of the emptiness and violate our status as a big man. It is really hateful!! Some people are willing to lead the army and crusade against the barbarian army!!"

Zhang Renyan didn't stop, Huang Quan hurriedly attended and retorted.

"Absolutely not! Our army has fought fiercely with the northwest bandit army, and our troops have suffered heavy losses. At present, our army has less than [-] soldiers and horses, and all the soldiers are exhausted. What's more, the northwest bandit army is still outside the pass at this time. Wen Bufan learned that The barbarian army invades, and they will be desperate and aggressive. Even if Xichuan is attacked by the enemy, what should I do?"

Hearing the words, Zhang Ren knew the benefits and harms well, he gritted his teeth, but he was speechless.Liu Bei was very anxious and asked Huang Quan anxiously.

"According to the view of fairness, how should we deal with it!?"

When Huang Quan heard Liu Bei's question, his brows were deeply furrowed, he pondered for a while, and he had no plan in his stomach for a while.Seeing this, Liu Bei anxiously looked at Fazheng, Meng Da and other counselors. Everyone's face was heavy and they had no plan.Liu Bei's heart was on fire, and he said in panic.

"At present, the barbarian army is invading the country, and there are Northwest bandit army stalking us. If we are in urgent need, I hope that the master will work together to deal with the crisis!"

At this moment, Tai Shici suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly told Liu Bei.

"My lord, don't worry too much. Before leaving, the military adviser handed over three kits to my lord, and told me to dismantle them when the situation is overwhelming. The lord has already dismantled two of them in the previous war, and there is still one. Why don't you dismantle them? See if there is a profound plan to solve the current crisis!?"

When Liu Bei heard the words, he just thought of this matter, and immediately removed the last tip.There are only a few words in the kit, which is roughly the case.

"If the lord has opened this bag, the lord must have been helped by Zhang Guyi at this time, and all the ministers in Xichuan have devoted themselves to it. Liu Jiyu may live or die, but he must have lost the power of Yizhou.
