With the liberation of Guo Yan, Feixiong, and the cavalry troops, and the evacuation of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, the situation on the battlefield immediately began to become distinct.

Liu Xuan's death was only the first step.

With the tragic death of Liu Xuan, the troops under his command fell apart, and Guo Yan led several cavalry troops to kill, and the troops brought by Liu Xuan were buried in the battlefield.

Then, Guo Yan pointed the finger at Liu Biao.

But with Liu Xuan's experience, how could Liu Biao continue to stay on the battlefield and wait for death?

But at the moment of Liu Xuan's death, Liu Biao had already led the army to retreat - the entourage, and Guo Tu sent by Yuan Shao.

In this battle, Zhang Liao was ambushed first, when he saw Sun Ce and Liu Biao retreating one after another, and heard that Gao Shun reported the losses of the sinking camp to him, after a brief assessment, Zhang Liao decisively gave up the idea of pursuit.

There is no advantage in itself......

The enemy is also full of wisdom.

In case he catches up and falls into a trap again, I'm afraid Zhang Liao will have no place to cry.

Seeing Sun Ce, Liu Biao and others walking away, Zhang Liao immediately issued an order to collect prisoners of war, count supplies and withdraw to Shouchun as soon as possible, and after that, the army set off.

Around noon, Zhang Liao and the others once again retreated back into Shouchun City, just looking at the closed city gate, you can know that Zhang Liao is preparing to die in Shouchun City......

This scene did not surprise Zhou Yu.

After this battle, Zhang Liao had no capital to continue to go south, both psychologically and in terms of troops, and of course, there was also "bad news......

Liu Miao died, but Liu Biao did not die.

Therefore, Zhou Yu's grand strategy for Sun Ce to unify Jiangnan will definitely have some deviations - but there is a way to see the move, with Zhou Yu's ability, Liu Biao will not bring too much trouble.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Wang Wei......

……

Hanzhong.

Since before Wang Wei set out on the expedition, Chen Gong took Ma Fei to Zhang Lu's territory in Hanzhong.

Hanzhong, close to Chang'an and Xiliang - in other words, Zhang Lu was actually the closest prince to Wang Wei.

However, Zhang Lu is quite interesting.

The regime he founded is the **** regime, and the Wudoumi Sect is the mainstream sect in Hanzhong.

And the so-called Five Dou Mi Sect......

In fact, in essence, it is just a variant of Taoism - or one of the ancestors of Taoism in later generations......

This sect is all about purity and inaction - so you can understand it.

Although Zhang Lu is a prince of one side and has some ambitions in his own right, on the other hand, he is also the supreme leader of the Five Dou Mi Sect, and in general, Zhang Lu is quite a contradictory person.

Because the hearts of the princes and the hearts of the preaching are actually in conflict with each other.

Manifested in Zhang Lu personally, it is Zhang Lu's daily performance, without the demeanor of a prince - he is like a big landlord, enjoying flowers and grass every day, drinking and having fun, occasionally dealing with official business, and then preaching and the like.

According to Chen Gong's words: "This kid is a salty fish......

He can be transferred in Hanzhong, and he can be transferred without him - this Zhang Lu's status in Hanzhong is probably equivalent to a spiritual leader and a face project.

Just a few days ago, when Chen Gong and Ma Fei came to Hanzhong under the banner of Wang Wei, they were warmly received by Zhang Lu.

However, at the banquet, Zhang Lu said that he didn't talk about anything serious at all, and after the banquet, Zhang Lu arranged Chen Gong Ma Fei in the post tube, and this time he hung it for nearly ten days.

And that very night, there was a knock on the gate of the post house.

In the post house, Chen Gong and Ma Fei got up from the bed, Ma Fei got dressed and opened the door, and after a while, he entered the room with a middle-aged scribe.

Seeing the comer, Chen Gong smiled slightly.

"It turned out to be Yang Song, I don't know ......"

However, before Chen Gong's polite words were finished, Yang Song took the first step to speak.

"Gongtai, Gongtai, how can you sleep so sweetly."

Chen Gong didn't quite understand the meaning of this, he raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Could it be Zhang Lu, something went wrong?"

Yang Song, a strategist under Zhang Lu, is extremely greedy for money by nature! And the day after Chen Gong arrived in Hanzhong, he figured out the character traits of almost all the strategists under Zhang Lu's command - and a money-hungry strategist is undoubtedly an excellent breakthrough!

In other words, Chen Gong has not been idle these days, he has already dealt with Yang Song, and installed a high-ranking and powerful internal response next to Zhang Lu.

Hearing Chen Gong's words, Yang Song just shook his head and sighed, and it wasn't until he lamented for a moment that he continued.

"Gongtai, you don't know, just this evening, the lord secretly met with Cao Cao's envoy...... At the same time, Cao Cao had already arrived at the Hanzhong border with his troops. It may be that just as we are talking now, Cao Cao has already led people into Hanzhong and is ready to attack Chang'an directly. ”

These words made Chen Gong's breath stagnate......

He just looked at Yang Song, and a cold light slowly flashed in his eyes.

It's so urgent, and you've been inking with me for so long......

It's not that this Yang Song has any careful thoughts—it's just that he really doesn't have any skills.

And on the other hand......

From Yang Song's words, Chen Gong had also deduced Zhang Lu's true thoughts.

He didn't want to unite with Wang Wei...... Or to say that he is vassal to Wang Wei, on the contrary, he wants to cooperate with Cao Cao more, and then watch Wang Wei die!

Thinking of this, Chen Gong immediately understood that this Hanzhong must not be able to stay. gave Ma Fei a look, Ma Fei immediately put on his armor when he saw this, until Ma Fei finished his preparation, Ma Fei took the lead, and Chen Gong and Ma Fei walked out of the door one after the other.

Janson's voice was heard behind him.

"Gongtai, the gold you promised me......"

"Go to Chang'an to find me, I'll prepare it for you."

"But ......"

Chen Gong ignored what Yang Song said next, Ma Fei pushed open the door with a "bang", and it was dark outside the post gate, which seemed to be empty, but Chen Gong was keenly aware of the omnipresent killing machine.

"Ma Fei, kill it!"

After saying this, Chen Gong and Ma Fei turned over and got on their horses, but saw two fast horses galloping and rushing towards the city gate!

……

It was about the morning of the third day, and Cao Cao arrived in Hanzhong with his troops.

Looking at the city wall in the distance, especially seeing the hideous gun marks on the city wall, Cao Cao couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.

In the distance, Zhang Lu led people to usher quickly, and as soon as he saw Cao Cao, Zhang Lu immediately vomited bitter water.

"Mengde, Mengde, my loss this time is too great......"

"What loss?"

Cao Cao replied without being salty, and Zhang Lu continued.

"The day before yesterday, you asked me to kill Chen Gong, and I did so, but I didn't expect that Chen Gong was an unpredictable prophet. Before I could set up an encirclement, Chen Gong took the military general and killed him from the main gate. I have two generals and dozens of soldiers in my hands. That's the trace left by the military general named Ma Fei. ”

The gun marks on the city wall are undoubtedly Ma Fei's handwriting......

However, Cao Cao's focus is not here.

"What about the Chen Gong people? What about the horse flyer? ”

"I didn't stop them......"

Zhang Lu said a little indifferently, but Cao Cao and Frustrated listened to it, but his face immediately sank......

Once Chen Gong is allowed to return to Chang'an, the originally planned surprise attack on Chang'an will turn into a frontal attack! In addition, Chen Gong escaped smoothly, and he was guarding Chang'an, this battle ......

There was a frustrated voice from the side.

"Meng Degong, don't miss the opportunity and come again!"

Full of pets speaks at the right time.

"If the surprise attack fails, this battle will be lost! With the city defense and garrison of Chang'an, there are also Chen Gong and Zhao Yun in charge, and even the Blood God Guard...... This Chang'an, even if we fight everything, we can't take it down! ”

"You can't say that, I'll tell you Manberning......"

"Mr. Fu's words can be described as evasive and trivial, a bunch of nonsense!"

The frustration subordinate to Yuan Shao and the full favor subordinate to Cao Cao are in full swing, but what they are talking about is nothing more than wanting to seek the greatest interests for their lord.

Listening to the argument of the two strategists, Cao Cao thought briefly and looked up at Hanzhong and Zhang Lu in front of him.

A cold light crossed the corner of his eyes, but on the surface, Cao Cao smiled on his face.

"Gongqi, I'm a little tired all the way, but I don't know if you, Hanzhong, have a place where I can rest?"

Zhang Lu, who didn't know that the catastrophe was coming, replied with a smile.

"Naturally, there is."
