The Eight Thousand Heavenly Phoenix Army went out of Duyang City by night, passed through the crossing at the northern foot of Qishan, and traveled all the way south along the uninhabited Qishan Mountain Road. When the Fengjun was about to walk out of Qishan that day, it was already the next day. Huang Zhong ordered the army to lie in Qishan for the time being, and after nightfall, continue to move south.

At the end of the day, the Tianfeng army set off to the south again, so at night, the gods came unknowingly, the valley mouth on the east side of the Wu Valley.

Huang Zhong divided his troops into three divisions, and Lei Tong led 2,000 soldiers to garrison the mountains on the south side of the Wu Valley; Hao Zhao led 2,000 soldiers and garrisoned the mountains on the north side of the Wu Valley; Huang Zhong and Pei Yuanshao led the remaining 4,000 soldiers to set up camp in the Wu Valley!

A day later, the Longxiang cavalry and the Vermilion Bird cavalry led by Li Mu and Xu Shu, and the Tiger Wing Army of Dian Wei came to Wugu Valley smoothly.

On the way south of Qishan, Li Mu received the news that Ma Chao and Jiang Wei defeated Lu Bu and Zhao Yun defeated Zhang Xiu. Li Mu was overjoyed, so he ordered Ma Chao and Jiang Wei to capture Yongxian.

Ma Chao and Jiang Wei received Li Mu's general order, crossed the Huangshui overnight, attacked Yongxian County, and broke the city in a battle.

At this point, Zhao Yun's Canglong army, west of Chencang City, was stationed at the Wuyue Pass; Ma Chao's lion army and Jiang Wei's forward-moving army were deployed on both sides of the river in the north of Chencang City; Li Mu's southward army, east of Chencang City, blocked the Wu Valley.

Li Muhe's strategic intention to encircle the enemy forces in Chencang has been achieved.

……

Qingfeng City Mansion!

"Report ......"

"Say!"

Lu Bu shouted in a deep voice.

"General Qiyu Lu, according to our army scouts, I will report ...... Enemy forces have captured ...... Wu Valley! Lu Bu's personal guards hurriedly reported.

"Report ......"

Before Lu Bu could ask for details, another pro-guard hurriedly came to report.

"Speak quickly!"

Lu Bu roared angrily!

"General Qiqi Lu, the enemy army has broken through...... Yongxian! Nowadays...... On the north side of the Wei River and on both sides of the Huangshui River, there are all enemy camps! Lu Bu's personal guards hurriedly replied respectfully.

"The army is resting!"

Lu Bu's fists were clenched, his scarlet eyes were round, and his face was hideous like a demon's roar: "Wu Valley...... Why is such an important strategic location unguarded? Wei Xu...... Hao Meng and the two...... Where is it now? ”

"Please take a break from the wrath of the thunder!"

Hou Cheng was terrified when he saw Lu Bu being so angry, and finally stepped forward and said with relief: "Presumably...... General Wei and General Hao are still stationed on the front line of Yixian, Wugong, and Meiyang, so they don't have time to take care of Wugu! ”

"The enemy army in the direction of Wugu ......" Lu Bu snorted coldly, looked straight at the first personal guard, and roared angrily: "Can you find out?" ”

"General Qiyu Lu...... Cleared out. The guard trembled, and his mouth trembled, "According to the report from our scouts...... There are about 30,000 enemy troops! The flag of the enemy army is embroidered with the banner of 'Right General Li Mu', the banner of the enemy general...... There are 'yellow, dian'! ”

"Li Mu dog thief! What a treacherous one! Lu Bu kicked away a few cases beside him, and roared hatefully: "He ...... I, Lu Fengxian, will kill this dog thief......"

In fact, Gao Shun had already passed the news of Li Mu's absence at Wuyue Pass to Lu Bu four days ago. Gao Shun also reminded Lu Bu that he could order the scouts in the Liangzhou army on the front line of Huangshui to inquire about Li Mu's news.

After Lu Bu was defeated in Qianyang Plateau, he was in Qingfeng City, borrowing wine every day to kill his sorrows. When Lu Bu received Gao Shun's news, he knew about Zhang Xiu's loss of troops at Wuyue Pass. Lu Bu was more worried, and he was angry, so he naturally didn't pay attention to Gao Shun's suggestion.

"General! The enemy army is already on the front line of Chencang...... West, North and East...... Deploy heavy troops! After a long time, Hou Cheng saw that Lu Bu was almost done, and immediately muttered: "Right now...... Qingfeng City is probably not ...... It's time to be stationed! ”

"What General Hou said is very true!"

Lu Bu snorted, and then said in a deep voice: "The fighting strength of our army on the front line of Chencang...... At the moment, there are only about 21,000 people. And the strength of the enemy army is at least ...... More than 55,000 people. If you defend Qingfeng City, you may be ...... by the enemy Break it all! ”

"Then ......" Hou Cheng nodded and hesitated: "The general wants to withdraw to Chen Cangcheng?" I don't know the defenders of the Red Sand Plateau...... Can you withdraw it? ”

"General Gao is good at using soldiers!" Lu Bu pondered for a long time, then waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "This general will repair a book and send it to General Zhang to see the two generals, Zhang and Gao...... There's a solution! ”

"The general is wise!" Hou Cheng nodded and said kindly.

As soon as Lu Bu's voice fell, some guards had already prepared pen, ink, paper, and inkstones. Lu Bu hurriedly repaired a book and sent someone to send it to Chisha Plateau.

……

Besides, Zhao Yun listened to Luo Xian's suggestion, gathered more than 3,900 prisoners, and preached to them the Liangzhou army's policy towards prisoners.

The group of captives listened to Zhao Yun's words, and they were also suspicious in their hearts. There were about 3,000 people who were willing to serve the Liangzhou army; The remaining nearly 1,000 people are reluctant to stay.

Zhao Yun released these nearly 1,000 people out of the camp at Wuyue Mountain Pass. As for the remaining captives, they were naturally brought back to Liangzhou by Xu Huang.

When Gao Shun saw the nearly 1,000 defeated soldiers, he was greatly surprised, so he inquired in detail about the reason. The nearly 1,000 defeated soldiers naturally did not know Zhao Yun's intentions, and bluntly said that the Liangzhou army was merciful and unwilling to kill the prisoners.

Such a simple strategy, Gao Shun can naturally see it. Gao Shunming knew that Zhao Yun wanted these defeated soldiers to rebel against his own military heart. However, Gao Shun couldn't do anything, he couldn't slaughter all these people.

While Gao Shun kept the group of defeated soldiers, he secretly sent people to monitor them. Gao Shun didn't want to be attacked by this group of soldiers who were greedy for life and afraid of death at a critical moment!

……

The big tent of the Chinese army in the Red Sand Plateau!

"General Qiqi, General Lu has a letter." A personal guard entered the big tent to report.

"Oh......" Zhang Xiu paused, and then said in a deep voice: "You will take General Lu's letter...... Present. ”

"General Gao...... Our army is defeated! Chen Cang's army is probably resting! Zhang Xiu glanced at the letterhead a few times, and was shocked in his heart.

After a long time, Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice with a disillusioned face: "Right now...... What should I do? ”

"Li Mu uses soldiers, Qi is compatible, it is really ...... Use soldiers like gods! ”

Gao Shun took the letterhead in Zhang Xiu's hand and looked at it, he was shocked, and after a long time, he sighed and muttered: "I will divide the troops to defend the dangerous place!" But I never thought about it...... Li Mu traveled hundreds of miles and went around to the Wu Valley! He's going to ...... Trap us! ”

"General Gao! Now is not the time to sigh! Zhang Xiu had always known that Gao Shun was good at using soldiers, and seeing Gao Shun's expression, his heart became more and more flustered, and he hurriedly asked: "The army of Chisha Plateau ...... Whether you advance or retreat, you still need to come up with an idea! ”

"Retire!"

Gao Shun let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice: "According to the report from the scout, the Liangzhou army at Wuyue Pass is preparing to ...... Advance eastward along the south bank of the Wei River, intending to cut off Chisha Plateau and Chencang City! Shall we wait for the enemy to be defeated one by one? ”

As soon as Gao Shun's voice fell, Zhang Xiu ordered the whole army to prepare to withdraw to Chen Cangcheng.
