Qin Lang was killed by Wei Yan, and the charging formation was interrupted by force, losing the opportunity to pursue Wei Feng. Although Zuihou killed Wei Yan and his five hundred knights, he also paid the price of more than a thousand people, which can be described as an unexpected and miserable victory. The strength of Wei Yan and the Wei family's warriors made the Wei soldiers frightened, Qin Lang was killed again, and the dragons were leaderless, and in desperation, these knights had no choice but to repay Xiahou Ba.

Xiahou Ba was taken aback.

He knew Qin Lang's ability, otherwise he wouldn't have let Qin Lang take on this task. Qin Lang didn't seem to talk much, and he rarely saw him when he was angry, and in the face of the accusations of those civil servants and Confucian scholars and "ministers", he usually just responded silently, and rarely saw him resist. In fact, with the trust of the Son of Heaven in him, it was just a matter of his mouth to pinch those people to death, but he never did it.

If you don't say it, it doesn't mean you can't say it. He and Qin Lang have worked together for several years, and they have accepted Zhang He's teachings together, among several of them, Qin Lang is the most inconspicuous one, but this does not mean that he is the one with the worst ability. To some extent, his ability to command a large army in battle is not much worse than that of his Xiahou Ba.

He was defeated by Wei Yan with five hundred horsemen, it cannot be said that his level is not enough, it can only be said that Wei Yan is too strong.

Zhang He woke up from a coma, heard the news, was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "With Wei Wenchang as his companion, he is not alone on Huangquan Road." ”

Xiahou Ba frowned, and just about to comfort him, Zhang He let out a breath and passed away suddenly.

"Father-" Zhang Xiong, whose face was covered in blood, rushed in, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhang He close his eyes. fell to the ground with a thud, caressed the corpse and cried bitterly: "Father, it's the child who is incompetent and failed to break the ...... of Wei Bazhong's army."

Xiahou Ba stood up, took a deep breath, and slowly spit it out, he leaned down, patted Zhang Xiong's shoulder, and said with tears in his eyes: "Shijie, the general of the chariot cavalry asks for benevolence." The wish has been granted. Behind the mourning, it is needless to say. Our juniors should take the general's last wish as their ambition and fight again with Wei Ba to comfort the general's heroic soul. ”

Zhang Xiong fell to the ground crying.

Xiahou Ba immediately sent scouts to investigate in all directions. At the same time, an order was given to consolidate the remnants of the army. Retreat to the southeast. The battle is over. Zhang He's army was almost completely annihilated, and his losses were not small, and now there was Wei Ba in the east. There is Lu Xun in the west, and there is not enough food and grass, so it is useless to fight again, so it is better to retreat early while Wei Ba has not slowed down.

The news of Xiahouba's withdrawal from the battlefield was quickly sent to Wei Ba, and Wei Ba was also powerless. His Chinese army was completely destroyed, Deng Ai and Ding Feng's troops lost nearly 10,000 people, and there were less than 10,000 foot soldiers left around him, even if he wanted to chase and kill Xiahou Ba, he didn't have the strength. Xiahou Ba still has seven or eight thousand people, almost all of them are cavalry, if he chases, he is afraid that Xiahou Ba will not be able to ask for it, and he will welcome it in a queue.

Wei Ba could not defend the camp and sent scouts to the west to investigate. When he met Lu Xun and learned that Wei Feng was unharmed, and after Wei Yan led five hundred cavalry, the whole army was annihilated, he finally couldn't help but grieve and cried bitterly.

This is a major setback that he has never had since his debut. The total loss of troops was nearly 25,000 people, which seemed to be similar to Zhang He's losses, but the elite Liliang accumulated over the years by the Wei family's military soldiers, heavy armor soldiers and cavalry were almost completely lost, and now even his father died on the battlefield, which was a great irony for him, a young famous general.

In this battle, he has been pressed and beaten by Zhang He, and the result of his best efforts is not to let Zhang He take advantage of his wishes, but despite this, he still paid an unprecedented heavy price. Now, it seems that Zhang He and Xiahou Ba were defeated, but he himself knows that he is actually defeated, and his losses are far more heavy than Zhang He, and he actually loses the ability to fight again. If it weren't for Sima Yi's intention to preserve his strength and want to snatch the fruits of victory again at the Zuihou stage, and he didn't follow up quickly, if it weren't for Lu Xun's wisdom to occupy Xiaoshan first and block Sima Yi, the current situation might be even worse.

Yu Yan understood Wei Ba's sorrow, but he still fulfilled the responsibility of a strategist: "General, this is not the time to be sad at this moment, it is better to get in touch with General Lu as soon as possible and discuss the big plan." At this moment, when someone was sent to invite back the head of General Zhendong, let him get a whole corpse. ”

Wei Ba nodded again and again, acting according to the plan.

……

Xiahou Ba withdrew thirty miles and met Sima Shi who came in a hurry. Seeing the mourning flag erected in the army, Sima Shi was ecstatic in his heart, but he couldn't see any joy on his face. He mourned in front of Zhang He's remains, and then said to Xiahou Ba: "General, at this moment, Wei Ba's main force is completely lost, it is a good time to attack, Weishenme retreat?" ”

Xiahou Ba was in no mood to pay attention to him, and Zhang He and Qin Lang died in battle, which made him very depressed. Moreover, this battle was fought like this, and it failed to achieve full success, and to put it bluntly, it was also related to the inaction of Sima's father and son. If Sima Yi had moved in the direction of Pengcheng earlier, how could Zhang He have died, how could Qin Lang have died, and even Wei Ba himself might not have been able to escape.

When the battle was over, they came running, and they put on a loyal appearance, for whom should they see?

"If you are willing to fight, you can fight, I have lost too much, I have to go back to rest." Xiahou Ba said wistfully: "You give me the grain and grass, and then you go yours, and I go mine." ”

Sima Shi looked at Xiahou Ba and didn't say anything more. He knew that Xiahou Ba was in a bad mood now, and if he annoyed him, he would definitely embarrass him. However, he did feel that it was a pity, now that Wei Ba was unable to fight again, it was a good time to attack, and it was really undesirable to give up.

It's a pity, but without Xiahouba's cooperation, he didn't dare to go to Pengcheng by himself. He camped in place and sent a letter to Sima Yi asking for instructions on what to do next. Two days later, he received an order from Sima Yi to withdraw his troops, and he had to sigh and return to Suiyang.

Wei Ba sent Wei Xing with a generous gift and caught up with Xiahou Ba. Xiahou Ba accepted the gift and returned Wei Yan's head.

Xiahou Ba said to Wei Xing with a gloomy face: "Please bring a word to General Wei, I will definitely complete it for him in the future." Please don't lose at the hands of others. ”

Wei Xing arched his hand, and saluted Zhang Xiong, who had blood-red eyes on the side: "Two generals, General Zhang has always been a real famous general in the eyes of the young master of my family, and I am fortunate to be able to fight with him." The two generals are also the opponents that the young master of my family has admired for a long time, and if they can meet the two on the battlefield in the future, they will definitely go all out and show their talents. But ......"

Wei Xing paused and sighed: "Actually, the young master of my family does not want to kill each other with you, but hopes to fight side by side with you and expand the territory. General Zhang unfortunately passed away, the pillars of Wei have been broken, and I hope that the two generals can admonish Emperor Wei, and hope that he will recognize the situation clearly, follow the example of King Wu and call himself a vassal to Han, so that the world will be unified and the people will be peaceful. ”

Xiahou Ba frowned and sneered: "Please rest assured, although General Zhang has passed away, my Great Wei still has a good man who is not afraid of death, and the outcome is unknown, maybe he should persuade that little Adou to call me a minister to my Great Wei." ”

Wei Xing shook his head helplessly, and hurriedly left with Wei Yan's head.

……

Xiahou Ba led the army to withdraw, Sima Yi and his son also retreated to Suiyang, and Pengcheng was quiet again. Wei Ba spent nearly ten days cleaning up the corpses on the battlefield, and he was going to bring back the corpses of the Han soldiers. The Han people died like life, and everyone had to return to their hometown for burial before they were buried in the ground. The corpses of the Wei army soldiers, he also sent someone to return them to Xiahou Ba, as for how he arranged it, it was his business.

This battle was not a small loss for both the Han and Wei sides, with a total of more than 50,000 casualties, which was a rare vicious battle for so many years. What's even more unbelievable is that this war lasted only three or four days, and the danger during it was probably only known to Wei Ba and the other parties themselves, and outsiders didn't know how many mysteries there were in it, and naturally they couldn't understand the purpose of Zhang He's planning of this battle.

Wei Ba himself knew very well that he, a traverser, was almost cheated by Zhang He this time. Even if he made a correct judgment at a critical time, he was abolished by Zhang He's martial arts, and he couldn't recover without three or five years.

Recognizing this, he began to think about what to do with it in the next few years. For the time being, on the one hand, he had to stabilize the situation on the eastern front and prevent the Wei army from counterattacking, and on the other hand, he had to prevent all kinds of means from Chengdu. When his force was not enough to suppress the Wu army, if Zhuge Liang used any more means to stimulate Sun Quan, the eastern front might collapse.

He first thought of Lu Xun.

Lu Xun's attitude was very clear this time, and he stood on his side without any hesitation, blocking Sima Yi, and stopping Wei Feng, who wanted to fight with Wei Jun. Although he did not participate in any fierce battles, he really decided the direction of the battlefield. If he hadn't controlled Xiaoshan, Xiahouba would not have been so decisive and decisive.

Wei Ba and Lu Xun talked for a long time in the middle of the night, and then spent half the night writing a letter to report the battle situation in Pengcheng to the Chengdu Imperial Court, asking for a reward for meritorious personnel. In the book of military merits, he listed Lu Xun as the first meritorious.

After writing the recital, he did not send it out immediately, but slept first, ready to think about it when he woke up. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his eyes, someone came to report: the partial general Wang Ping was ordered by the general Li Yan to escort 5,000 war horses to Pengcheng.

Wei Ba was silent for a moment, and then asked Wang Ping to come in. After reading Li Yan's order, he asked Wang Ping: "Do you know that you spent at least twenty more days on the road, because of the more than twenty days you delayed, our army suffered heavy losses?" ”

Wang Ping was a little unimpressed. He knew that he had exceeded the order, mainly because he was walking very slowly when he was in Guanzhong, and he had been waiting for news from the prime minister, hoping that the prime minister could ignore Li Yan's order and not let him go this way. He didn't want to leave Longyou and obey Wei Ba's orders.

"It's not a smooth road." Wang Ping replied nonchalantly.

"Just one sentence that the road is not smooth, and you can't prevaricate your responsibility." Wei Ba put Li Yan's order aside: "Come on, please come out of the Son of Heaven." He smiled, his eyes cruel: "Wang Ping, you are very honored, you are the first person I invited to kill the Son of Heaven." ”

Wang Ping's face suddenly turned earthy, and he said urgently: "You can't do this. ”

"I can!" Wei Ba waved his hand and shouted, "Drag it down, behead it and report it." ”
