Du pre-boarded the empty Mulan Sai, a few days ago there was a fierce battle here, and now you can clearly see the traces of those battles, on the wall, on the wooden fence, there are arrow marks, dense, shocking, you can feel how tragic the battle was that day.

It's just that the corpses on the ground have been cleaned and buried by the Shu army, and the once strong Mulan Fortress is empty at the moment.

"Where is Liu Yin at the moment?" Du asked pre-asked.

"General Qiyu, Liu Yin had already left Xicheng two days ago, looking in the direction of Hanzhong, whether to chase or not, please show the general." Shao Yuan said.

It must be said that Du Pre's marching speed has reached the extreme, and as soon as he withdrew from Wuguan Road and arrived in Nanxiang, Du Pre did not take any rest, and immediately devoted himself to attacking the three eastern counties.

Although Du knew that his army was already extremely tired, and had attacked on the Wuguan Road for more than ten days in a row, with almost no rest, this time he retreated to Nanxiang non-stop, and the soldiers' energy and physical strength had declined to the extreme. But Du Yu knew better at this moment that if he didn't march as soon as possible, Liu Yin would definitely slip out from under his nose.

Now that Liu Yin has fewer troops, Du Yu wants to seize this opportunity and force Liu Yin to have a decisive battle with him in the Shangyong area, and only in this way is the hope of completely annihilating Liu Yin.

But he didn't expect that Liu Yin would slip away so fast, and Du Yu had already rushed to Mulan Sai extremely quickly, but Rao was like this, he was still a step late, and Liu Yin had already retreated to Hanzhong.

Obviously. Liu Yin had no intention of sticking to the three eastern counties at all. Although the attack on Mulan and the Shu army also paid a great price. But at this moment, Liu Yin actually abandoned it. If Liu Yin was even a little hesitant, Du Pre would lead his troops over, as long as he could entangle him, Du Pre would definitely not allow Liu Yin to retreat.

"It's a pity, maybe this is the best opportunity to eliminate Liu Yin, but it still let him run, the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again. Maybe there will never be such an opportunity again. Du Yu sighed softly, he knew very well that once Liu Yin escaped back to Guanzhong, it would be like a fish in water, and if he wanted to destroy him, I was afraid that there would really be no chance.

Shao Yuan couldn't help but said: "Liu Yinfang has been gone for two days, if the general sends troops to chase after him at this moment, there may be a chance to catch up with him before he returns to the army." ”

Du Yu shook his head gently, if he could intercept Liu Yin in Xicheng, it would undoubtedly be the best. But if Liu Yin escapes, the Wei army will chase after him. It is likely to follow in the footsteps of Zhang He back then, and this is the reason why poor Kou Mo chases.

What's more, marching from the three eastern counties to Hanzhong, the terrain is rugged along the way, even if Liu Yin is not walking fast, but if such a terrain comes to ambush warfare, it is very suitable, with Liu Yin's ability, he will definitely not give the pursuing Wei army any chance.

It was only now that Du Pre understood Liu Yin's true strategic intentions, the so-called capture of the three eastern counties was just Liu Yin's false shot, Liu Yin still made a plan to encircle Wei to save Zhao, attack the three eastern counties, forced Du Pre to withdraw from Wuguan Road, and saved the Zhan Hong who was stationed in Wuguan Dao.

Thinking of this, Du Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly, encircling Wei to save Zhao was originally a strategy adopted by the Wei army, by attacking Wuguan Dao, forcing Liu Yin to withdraw his troops from Hanzhong, so as to create conditions for the rescue of Zhonghui. The result was that Liu Yin did the opposite, and put Du Pre together, so that Du Pre had to withdraw the army from Wuguan Road.

"Liu Yin is really a difficult opponent!" Du Yu said secretly in his heart, his eyes were in the direction of Hanzhong, deep and distant.

"Report, General Qiyu, a group of men and horses have suddenly been killed in the direction of Shangyong, and they are rushing towards Mulan Sai." The scout reported to Du urgently.

Shao Yuan was shocked and said, "Could it be Liu Yin's soldiers and horses lurking here?" ”

Although Du Zhen couldn't figure out who was coming, it was obviously not Liu Yin's all the way, you must know that Mulan Fortress is one of the fortresses defended by the three eastern counties, if Liu Yin wants to ambush, it is impossible to easily give away a key pass like Mulan Fortress, so Du Zhen did not panic, but said in a deep voice: "Explore again and report again." ”

It was soon confirmed that the comer was not the men and horses of the Shu army, but the men and horses led by Xiahou Xian sent by Zhonghui. In order to ensure that the Shangyong grain road is unimpeded, after Zhong Hui heard that Liu Yin's soldiers were in the three eastern counties, he immediately sent Xiahou Xian to the Badong Xiaodao to kill Shangyong.

When Xiahou Xian arrived at Shangyong, he did not find any trace of the Shu army, and Shangyong City has not fallen, although the army guarding Shangyong is only a few hundred people.

Xiahou Xian was very puzzled, especially when he heard the news that Shangyong Taishou Yang Qi was killed in the battle of Mulan Sai, it was even more inexplicable, Mulan Sai and Shangyong were not too far apart, since the Shu army had destroyed Yang Qi, why did they ignore Shangyong who was almost like an empty city, it was really surprising.

After a short stay in Shangyong, Xiahou Xian led his troops to Mulan Sai to find out, and when he arrived at Mulan Sai, he found that Mulan Sai was heavily armed, but it was the banner of the Wei army that was planted high.

It turned out that it was the Annan general Du Yu who had already rushed to Mulansai one step ahead of him. Xiahou Xian and Du Pre originally knew each other, when they cut down Shu, Du Pre was the general of Zhenxi, and Xiahou Xian was the general of Zhonghui.

Hearing Liu Yin's whereabouts, Xiahou Xian had the intention to chase after him, but was stopped by Du Pre, and now Du Pre is no longer a long history but a general of Annan with heavy troops, and his rank is far above Xiahou Xian, and Xiahou Xian had to obey Du Pre's orders.

Du pre-ordered Xiahou Xian to return to Shudi to return to Zhonghui, and he stayed in Shangyong Xicheng, temporarily holding his troops still, writing to Sima Zhao to express his feelings, and also asking for the next plan of action.

The so-called opportunity cannot be lost, the opportunity to attack Wuguan Road has been wrong, and now if Du Pre marches to Wuguan Road again, the Shu army has been fully prepared, and it is not so easy to easily capture Wuguan.

What's more, Liu Yin has already embarked on the road back to Guanzhong, and the garrison of Wuguandao will undoubtedly be strengthened a lot, and Du Yu will never touch this nail again no matter what.

In this battle, who won and who lost, Du Pre has not figured it out until now, it seems that Wei did not win but did not lose, the three eastern counties were lost and recaptured, but Shu did not seem to have failed, and Wuguandao finally Du Pre did not open up, and the two sides actually stood on the starting point again.

"It can only be regarded as a five-five game!" Du Yu sighed lightly. (To be continued.) )
