"Your Majesty, calm down. His army is powerful and unstoppable. He defeated our army in a row for days, our army suffered heavy casualties, lost countless soldiers, and lost countless generals. Right now, we need to employ people. Why don't we save the lives of these two people first, and let them make meritorious deeds." If you lose something again, you will be punished for both crimes!!"

What Meng Huo heard from his younger brother was also justified. Ah Hui Nan and Dong Chana both knelt on the ground and begged for mercy repeatedly, saying that they would fight to the death for Meng Huo to pay for their crimes.When Meng Huo saw it, he forgave the two for the time being, and then asked Meng You again.

"The Northwest Army has strong generals, and Wen Bufan is full of tricks, and it is difficult for us to fight against them. In your opinion, what should we do now?"

Meng You listened to the words and pondered for a while, then spoke hastily.

"Although the other army is powerful, it has fought many battles in recent years. It must be difficult to sustain the food in the army, and most of its soldiers will also feel war-weary. Why should the king resist it? It is time to withdraw the troops and retreat to Zitong City. The high fortress resists, within a few months, the other army's food is exhausted, and the morale of the army is unstable, so it will naturally withdraw. At that time, the king will use the army to cover up the killing, and he will surely capture and kill that Wen Bufan!!"

When Meng Huo heard the words, the green eyes shot out two lights in an instant, and he agreed, and now, according to Meng You's plan, he ordered the army to rest for a day, wait until the third watch tomorrow night, and retreat to Zitong.

Let's say that the Northwest Army has won another big victory, and the morale of the soldiers is sharp.That night, Li You came to find Wenhan and spoke to him.

"My lord, the Nanman has been repeatedly defeated, and will never dare to fight our army head-on again. If you predict correctly, the other army will withdraw soon. If we let them withdraw to Zitong, defend the city, and use deep ditches to resist me Army. The war is bound to be protracted. Now our soldiers have been fighting for a long time, and all of them are tired of returning to their hometowns. Moreover, the food in the army is difficult to last. My lord, you should make preparations quickly to prevent the other army from withdrawing."

Wen Han heard the words, narrowed his sword eyes slightly, and nodded in response.

"If it wasn't for what Zhongwen said, I haven't awakened yet. I don't know if Zhongwen has a plan to teach me?"

Li You smiled lightly, walked to the table, pointed to a place on the map and said.

"Fortunately, we have Ziqiao's map, so we can see Xichuan at a glance. If my prediction is correct, if Meng Huo wants to retreat, he will definitely take his way from this valley. My lord, you can send two police troops quickly, Lay in ambush in this valley, and when his army passes by, first strike them with random arrows and rocks, and then all the ambush soldiers come out, and Meng Huo can be captured!!"

Wen Han listened to the plan, and shot two jing lights with the eyes of the knife, and said again and again, so according to Li You's plan, he called Wei Yan and taught him to lead the army to ambush.

On the next day, the barbarian army was resting in the village in preparation for evacuation tonight.Meng You frowned when he saw that the Northwest Army was silent.At this moment, a whistle came to report.When Liu Bei sent an envoy to see him, Meng You's expression changed, and he urgently reported to Meng Huo.After Meng Huo heard this, he was also puzzled and asked Meng You.

"Then why did Liu Xuande send someone here?"

Hearing the words, Meng You hesitated for a while, and replied with salute.

"Wen Bufan is the hero of the world, he dominates the northwest, and in recent years he has won the land of Dongchuan. Except for Wei Wang Cao Cao, he is the most powerful person in the Han Dynasty. In recent years, Wen Bufan wants to win Xichuan again, at Jiamengguan It has been nearly half a year since they fought against Xichuan soldiers and horses, but in the end the Xichuan army was unable to hold back, and its leader, Liu Jiyu, was killed by Zhao Zilong. Liu Xuande gained the power of Xichuan, and this person is also a hero. He was chased and killed by others, and later fled to Jingzhou. With the help of Zhuge Kongming, he reversed his previous decline and defeated the Wei army repeatedly. He was highly valued by Liu Jingsheng. After Liu Jingsheng passed away, he ordered Liu Xuande to assist his son in handling Jingzhou affairs. It can be seen that Liu Xuande's city is very deep, and this person is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, how could he be willing to be subordinated to others, and he must be willing to become one of the world's hegemony princes. The reason why he was willing to cede the two counties of Zitong and Brazil must be Yu Let us resist the Northwest army for him, and he will take the opportunity to stabilize the situation in Xichuan, wait for Zhuge Kongming to transfer troops from Jingzhou, and then slowly plan them to quell the chaos in Yizhou. In this way, he will win the battle between Jingzhou and Yizhou The land will have enough foundations to fight against the forces of the Northwest, Cao Wei, and Dong Wu to fight for the world. In this way, Liu Xuande is now a friend rather than an enemy. Your Majesty may wish to see what his envoy has said, and then do Decide!"

Meng Huo listened carefully to Meng You's analysis and nodded repeatedly, thinking so too, so he ordered Liu Bei's envoy to be called in.When he was young, Huang Quan stepped into the tent and finished the worship.Meng Huo smiled, and after some polite words, he went straight to the topic and opened his mouth to ask.

"I don't know why Huang Gong came here this time, why?"

Huang Quan's expression froze, and he asked suddenly.

"Your Majesty is about to withdraw his army soon? If so, he will surely suffer disaster!"

Meng Huo's face changed when he heard the words, and he stood up abruptly, his green eyes widened, and then he suppressed his panic, pretending to be calm and smiling.

"Haha. Mr. Huang doesn't know something. Now our army is in a good situation and we have won many times. I think Wen Bufan will retreat sooner rather than later. Why should I withdraw?"

Huang Quan was expressionless, staring directly at Meng Huo, and said again in a concentrated voice.

"Your Majesty, don't lie to me. My lord has already sent scouts around Zitong. My lord has already known what happened in the Zitong war. Your Majesty has been repeatedly defeated and lost troops and generals. Fighting head-on is by no means an opponent of the Northwest Army. You should retreat to Zitong City and build a deep ditch with earth. Resist it."

When Meng Huo heard this, his complexion darkened immediately, and he was about to have a seizure.After all, it is not my race, so its heart must be different.If Huang Quan reports this matter to Wen Han, it can be said that there will be endless troubles.Seeing several murderous looks in his brother's eyes, Meng You hurriedly attended and said.

"Huang Gong knows this, and we don't need to hide it anymore. But what is the meaning of Huang Gong's words of disaster?"

Huang Quan looked at Meng Huo silently, and spoke boldly without any fear of the killing intent he showed.

"You don't know. In the past, there was a man named Zhang Ziqiao in my civil and military office in Xichuan. This person has the ability to never forget. He drew a picture of Xichuan's terrain and dedicated it to Wen Bufan. Wen Bufan knows the terrain of Xichuan. Besides, there are many wise men in this army, how can you not see that your majesty has the intention of withdrawing the army. If your army wants to withdraw to Zitong, the valley ten miles to the southeast must pass through. If you have laid an ambush early, your If the army is unprepared, it may be more dangerous than good luck!"

Meng Huo's complexion suddenly changed again, his green eyes were almost protruding, and his face was full of horror.Meng You hurriedly cast a look at Meng Huo, Meng Huo understood it, and immediately ordered his left and right to prepare a banquet to entertain Huang Quan.Huang Quan made a move with his hand and said in a concentrated voice.

"Wait a minute! Your Majesty doesn't need to be too polite. Wen Bufan disrespected the court, deceived the emperor, and robbed others of their status. The former master died tragically at the hands of his general Zhao Zilong. We and the people of Xichuan have a bloody feud with him, and we can't wait to get rid of it. Now My lord has actually formed an alliance with the king, and the two families have a good relationship, so they should share the same hatred. Quan came here this time, and he has no different intentions, and I hope that the king will not be suspicious."

After Meng Huo heard this, he was impatient, and he didn't care about entanglement with Huang Quan, so he hurriedly asked.

"If so. I don't know if Mr. Huang has a strategy to teach me? I will definitely repay it with a generous gift!"

Huang Quan already had a plan in mind, and now he taught Fu Menghuo to do so.Meng Huo was overjoyed when he heard the plan, and repeatedly claimed that it was wonderful, so he ordered his soldiers to bring gold and silk to increase for Huang Quan.Huang Quan knew that these were all the money Meng Huo got from the Han people, and he didn't refuse, so he just accepted it.Meng Huo also wanted to keep Huang Quan in the army so that he could ask questions from left to right.Huang Quan came here this time, and was ordered by Liu Bei to help the Nanman delay the Northwest Army's offensive, so he agreed.

At the third watch of the night, the barbarians suddenly withdrew from their village and hurried towards Zitong.A sentry horse of the Northwest Army had been searching in secret for a long time, and immediately came to report to Wen Han.Wen Han smiled coldly when he heard the words, thinking that he would be able to capture Meng Huo this time, so he was unprepared.

However, he said that Wei Yan led the army to ambush in the valley in the southeast, and it was time for the destiny, but the barbarian army still did not come, and it was the time of doubt in his heart.Suddenly, in the direction of Zijunzhai, there were waves of shouts of killing.Wei Yanhu stared, thinking that the army camp was attacked, he quickly ordered all the ambush soldiers in the valley to come out and rush to rescue.

But when it came to the fourth watch, the soldiers in the northwest village started cooking, and suddenly there was a cannon shot outside the village.A barbarian cavalry of thousands of people rushed over.The Northwest soldiers fled in a panic, unexpectedly.The barbarian cavalry rushed into the northwest village, rushed left and right, rampaged, and set fire everywhere.Zhao Yun heard the violent fighting in the village, he didn't care about putting on his armor, grabbed the seven-star sword and rushed out of the village, and saw a barbarian cavalry inside the village setting fire to the village.Zhao Yun's sword flashed two flashes of light, and the Yezhao Jade Lion rushed towards him. Zhao Yunfei mounted his horse, and suddenly raised his sword, and charged at a group of barbarian cavalry.When the hundreds of barbarian cavalry saw that it was Zhao Yun who came to kill them, they were so frightened that they wanted to flee. At this time, a barbarian saw that Zhao Yun was not wearing armor, and roared sharply.

"Don't panic! This Zhao Zilong didn't wear armor, now is the perfect time for me to kill him in one fell swoop! If I can kill this person, I will be rewarded by the king!!!"

The so-called people die for wealth, and birds die for food.As soon as the barbarian shouted, the eyes of hundreds of barbarian cavalry burst into madness, and they swarmed towards Zhao Yun.Zhao Yun's face was cold and fearless, he rode his horse into the crowd and slashed wildly with his knife.The seven or eight barbarians who blocked them were hacked to death by Zhao Yun in an instant. Zhao Yun galloped his horse and rushed straight through the encirclement. , cut its head and shoulders in half.Zhao Yun's white robe was stained with blood. During the rush all the way just now, the white robe was not torn anywhere, it was extremely smooth, and he exuded bursts of terrifying murderous aura.The barbarians ran away in a panic when they saw that they were too busy fighting.Zhao Yun then rode his horse and rushed up, fighting around in the village, beheading about five or six barbarian generals and repelling several barbarian cavalry.After a while, soldiers and horses from the northwest stabilized the chaos and rushed to fight.Seeing that the situation was not good, the barbarians retreated one after another.

Zhao Yun then ordered the soldiers to put out the fire, and Zhao Yun came to see Wen Han only after the fire gradually extinguished.Wen Han and Li You were surveying the surrounding battle situation outside the village, seeing Zhao Yun coming, Wen Han's face froze, and he asked Zhao Yun what happened.Zhao Yun reported them one by one.Li You listened for a while, suddenly his face changed drastically, and he was anxious to talk to Wen Han.

"Not good! If the barbarian army wants to attack, why would they send such soldiers and horses. Presumably this is a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. General Wei will send out the ambush soldiers when he sees the chaos in our village, and rush back to help. Immediately, the barbarian army will come back again. Take the road, and you will be able to successfully retreat back to Zitong City!!"
