"General, general, the Yizhou army has withdrawn!"

A general ran to Liu Bi's side and yelled excitedly.

In the past ten days, although Liu Bi has kept the entire Langzhong strong, Zhang Ren and the three of them are all famous generals in Bashu, all of them are extraordinary, and the pressure Liu Bi is facing is also very huge.

Not only Liu Pi, but also the soldiers who defended the city have also suffered a lot of casualties these days, and many people have become exhausted because they take turns defending the city.

Therefore, after learning that the Yizhou Army had withdrawn, the general was so excited.

However, when Liu Bi heard the news, not only was he not the slightest happy, but his face became gloomy.

The general saw that Liu Bi's face was very ugly, and asked cautiously: "General, but where did the last general say the wrong thing?" ”

Liu Bi didn't explain to him, and said: "You immediately lead people to investigate and see if the Yizhou army really withdraws." It would be even better if a few Yizhou soldiers could be caught. ”

Although the general didn't understand what Liu Pi had in mind, he still did not hesitate to carry out his order.

After the general left, Liu Bi muttered to himself: "Yuan Hao's military division, General Xu, and General Gan led the troops to attack Zitong, and they should have already arrived at their destination after calculating the time." ”

"They attacked Guanghan County this time, and the soldiers and horses they led were not many, if Zhang Ren led the troops back, wouldn't they be in danger of the military division?"

Speaking of this, he walked back and forth in the house a few times, and then gritted his teeth and said: "The military advisor asked me to drag the Yizhou army as much as possible, if they are allowed to withdraw the army so easily, how can they help the military advisor realize the plan?" ”

"If I didn't hold back the Junyizhou army, and put a few soldiers in danger, wouldn't I become a sinner in Guanzhong?"

Liu Bi knew that compared with Tian Feng, Xu Huang, and Gan Ning, his role in Wen Zhao was getting smaller and smaller, and Guanzhong could not do without Liu Bi, but he could not do without Tian Feng.

He never wanted to make Tian Feng and the others worse because of himself.

In fact, at first, Liu Bi didn't know the plan of Tian Feng and others, and he took it for granted that Xu Huang really had a back sore attack and was unconscious.

It wasn't until Yan Pu informed Liu Bi of the cause and effect of the incident, and instructed him to defend Langzhong to the death and attract the attention of the Yizhou army, that Liu Bi suddenly realized.

But Liu Bi always felt that it was too risky to do so, if Tian Feng and the others were lost. For the entire Guanzhong, it is an unimaginable huge blow.

However, at that time, Tian Feng and others had already secretly left Jiangzhou, and even if Liu Bi had the heart to persuade them, it was too late.

He could only rush to Langzhong at night, wanting to do his best to drag the Yizhou army here, so as to relieve the pressure on Tian Feng and the others.

Therefore, after hearing that the Yizhou army had retreated, he was so anxious.

"Someone!"

There was something to worry about, and Liu Bi immediately shouted.

A soldier walked in and asked, "What's the matter with the general?" ”

Liu Pi shouted: "Pass my military order, order the three armies, and prepare to go out of the city to pursue the Yizhou army!" ”

……

At the same time, Jiang Wu also led 5,000 soldiers and horses from Dianjiang to Langzhong.

He had already set the time, and he felt that Zhang Ren and the others should already know about the attack on Guanghan County.

The reason why Xu Huang only placed 20,000 soldiers and horses in Langzhong was to attract Zhang Ren and others to attack. If there are too many soldiers and horses in the city, the Yizhou army may not necessarily come from a long journey.

But now, there is no need for the Guanzhong army to show weakness to the enemy.

Therefore, Jiang Wu followed Tian Feng's instructions before leaving, led his troops to kill Ben Dianjiang, and prepared to help Liu Pi.

Autumn came, the weather has slowly cooled, a group of Guanzhong scouts caught up with the retreating Yizhou army, fearless of death captured a few Yizhou sergeants, and rushed desperately to the city.

In order to capture a few Yizhou soldiers alive, the Guanzhong scouts also paid a great price.

Although the Yizhou generals were annoyed that the Guanzhong army was bold, they were in a hurry to withdraw their troops, and they didn't care about the lives of the captured soldiers, so they hurriedly retreated.

In Langzhong City, the Guanzhong army had been assembled, but Liu Pi still did not order the pursuit.

"I don't know if the Yizhou army really withdrew its troops, or did it pretend to retreat and want to lead our army out of the city?"

Liu Pi has followed Wen Zhao in the southern and northern wars for so many years, although he is not a resourceful person, but he also has extremely experienced combat experience.

He has seen a lot of this kind of thing, so he will naturally be on guard. It is precisely because of this that although Liu Bi was very anxious in his heart, he still did not act rashly.

"General, I have captured a few live Yizhou soldiers!"

The general, who was covered in blood, joined forces with the scouts to escort a few Yizhou army prisoners and walked towards Liu Pi.

Liu Bi was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked: "The Yizhou army really withdrew its troops, and there was no fraud?" ”

The general said affirmatively: "They retreated in an extremely hurry, and there were no ambushes along the way, there must have been something wrong in the rear, so they were busy retreating." ”

Liu Biyan pondered for a long time when he heard this, and then waved his hand to let the general go down.

He divided and escorted a few frightened Yizhou soldiers, and then began to ask Zhang Ren about the reason for withdrawing his troops.

Through coercion, inducement, torture, and torture, Liu Pi got exactly the same answers, that is, Zitong, the heart of Guanghan County, was conquered by the Guanzhong army.

"The Yizhou army's grain route was cut off, and there was a big problem in the rear, so they had to hurriedly withdraw their troops to help."

The results of the inquiry are inseparable from what Liu Bi thought.

He immediately no longer had doubts in his heart, left 2,000 soldiers to guard Langzhong, and then personally led the army to chase and kill the Yizhou army.

The sky was getting darker, and the moon was beginning to shine in its own light.

Even though the soldiers were already exhausted, Liu Bi still led the army and chased forward in the starry night.

"The thieves retreated in a hurry, and now is the perfect time for us to make a contribution. The Yizhou Army definitely didn't expect that we would catch up at night. ”

"Brothers, cheer up, as long as we chase the thief army camp, we will definitely be able to kill and defeat the thief army by surprise and make meritorious contributions!"

Liu Pi kept boosting morale, so that Sergeant Guan could drag his tired body and march as soon as possible.

A partial general came to Liu Pi's side and said: "General, I think that Zhang Ren is not an ordinary person, when I lead the troops to pursue, it is better to be more vigilant, so as not to fall into the tricks of thieves." ”

Liu Pi has dealt with Zhang Ren for so long, so he naturally knows that Zhang Ren himself is worthy of the title of a famous general in Bashu.

He slowed down his horse and said to the general, "What you say is true! ”

Subsequently, Liu Pi became more and more cautious in the process of marching, and sent a large number of scouts to reconnoiter in advance whenever he came to a place where the terrain was steep and easy to ambush.

The army moved forward cautiously in this way, and until it was close to the vicinity of the Yizhou military camp, there was no trace of the ambush.
