Chen Cang's war has basically ended, but the Wei army's stubborn resistance has not been completely eliminated.

The blade had rolled its blade, and the uneven gaps silently told its experience. The blood had covered its original color. There were even eye-catching cracks on the blade. The knife was close to the edge of the destruction, but the handle of the knife was still tightly buried in his hand, even if his master was dead!

"Is this Hao Zhao?" Huang Zhong looked at the soldier in front of him who was obviously dead in battle but still standing with a knife. He was wearing the armor of ordinary Cao's army, but the sword could have experienced such a fierce battle and not completely collapsed. It was obviously not an ordinary person. It was impossible for ordinary swords to hit this point when fighting against the Han army.

Around the corpse, several Cao army soldiers were protecting the corpse. Even though he was dead, these soldiers were still willing to give their lives to protect the body of their chief general from being desecrated.

"It should be." Yang Ren walked up and looked at the Cao army soldiers who were ready to fight at any time, and sighed. Although they were enemies, such enemies were worthy of respect, including the Cao army around him who fought desperately to protect the body of the chief general.

"In these days, in order to avoid being shot by crossbowmen, the generals of Cao's army have changed into the armor of ordinary soldiers." Yang Ren added.

Huang Zhong naturally knew this, but looked at the general who was still standing with a knife even though he died in battle, and felt an unspeakable regret in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "What a pity."

"How do these people deal with it?" Yang Ren looked at the six soldiers guarding Hao Zhao's body and couldn't bear to say.

"Que Ren and get Ren..." Huang Zhong glanced at the people, took a deep breath and said, "This is their choice, kill!"

"Here!" Yang Ren's eyes flashed with unbearableness, then he gritted his teeth and waved his hand. The crossbowman who had already prepared had pulled the mechanism at the few people. A row of arrows flew past, and the six of them fell unwillingly in the pool of blood, leaving only Hao Zhao's body, still standing in the hellish head of the city.

Huang Zhong stepped forward, looked at Hao Zhao's eyes that were so angry that he opened his anger even if he died, and sighed quietly, and reached out to help him close it. He knew that even if Hao Zhao was captured alive, such a man would not be able to surrender.

After ordering people to restrain Hao Zhao's body, Huang Zhong began to order Cao's prisoners to clean up the battlefield. At the same time, he ordered people to report to Zhang Fei that Chen Cang had already arrived, Yong County, and there were not many garrisons in the north. Seeing that Chen Cang and Mei County were successively captured, they surrendered. At this point, the west of Mei County was occupied by the Han army. When Zhang Fei arrived in Chen Cang, only martial arts Xu Huang was still struggling to support Chen Dao's siege.

...

"Plop~"

Cao Zhen sat back on the mat with a little dazed dismay. Chen Cang lost his life and the news of Hao Zhao's death spread in Jingzhao like a plague. Zhang Fei's army came with him and Huang Zhong and Chen Dao. A large army of 150,000 came in a mighty way. The whole Jingzhao people were panicked, and even people had begun to change their flags and prepare to welcome the arrival of the Han army.

After all, although Cao Pi has been working hard to eliminate the mark of the Han Dynasty over the years, it has only been seven years since its establishment. How could the mark left in the hearts of the 400 years of the Han Dynasty be eliminated so easily?

Hao Zhao did not betray his oath. The city is there, and the city is destroyed. This is Hao Zhao's promise to Cao Zhen. He did it, but this was a little far from Cao Zhen's expectations. In ten days, Hao Zhao couldn't hold on for even one day. Perhaps, he should send more people to help?

At this moment, Cao Zhen felt a little regret and doubt about his decision. Chang'an is not at the moment. Is it really meaningful to concentrate his troops in Chang'an?

But Hao Zhao is dead, and there is no answer to this question. Maybe there is, or maybe there is no. What Cao Zhen is worried about is that Liu Bei has a backup plan, but it is meaningless to discuss these things now.

"General, General Gongming's emergency..." A general came in and bowed to Cao Zhen.

"Send 3,000 people to Wugong to support him first, tell General Gongming to be sure to defend, reinforcements will arrive later!" Hao Zhao's death eventually affected Cao Zhen. Chen Cang had lost, and a general who was quite likely to become a pillar of the Great Wei. Xu Huang, the only five remaining generals, cannot be lost. At least, there are not many people in the Great Wei that can replace Xu Huang and Zhang He.

"Here!" The general took the command arrow given by Cao Zhen, bowed and retreated, and went to mobilize troops.

Du Xi's soldiers should be coming soon, right?

Cao Zhen held his forehead with his hands, hoping that Du Shi's reinforcements would arrive earlier. As for the imperial court's troops, Hangu Pass was sealed, it would be difficult to expect in a short period of time. Zhang Fei's army was approaching. If his martial arts were lost, Chang'an would face the siege of Zhang Fei's 150,000 Han troops, which was nearly ten times the gap. Even if everyone was concentrated in Chang'an, it would be difficult to defend!

Zhang Fei must be blocked in martial arts! Otherwise, the loss of Guanzhong will be almost a foregone conclusion.

...

Hanzhong, imperial palace.

Compared with the bleakness of Chang'an, Hanzhong is indeed much calmer. Because of the rail car, the manpower and material resources required for the transportation of materials in Shuzhong are greatly reduced. Even though the front line supports the war of 200,000 troops, the feeling of war is not too great for Shuzhong. If you should farm, you should do business, and if you should do business, Jing and Shu lag behind after Liu Yi's efforts over the years, and have completely optimized their economic structure. Even if you support a war of hundreds of thousands of people, in the senses of the people in Shuzhong, life is no different from before.

Liu Bei was naturally very satisfied with this result. After handling the government affairs this day, he took Zhuge Liang to walk in the garden of the palace and smiled: "If it weren't for Kong Ming's recommendation, I might have missed such a genius as Bo Yuan. This place in Jingshu is probably the prosperity of men today."

"There are Bo Les in the world, and then there are thousands of miles of horses. If Your Majesty had not invited you sincerely, Bo Yuan would not have achieved what he has done today." Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head and said, "If Your Majesty had not invited you sincerely, maybe Bo Yuan would be just a craftsman under Cao Wei's rule!"

Zhuge Liang knew about Liu Yi's attempt to make a living in Cao Wei, but if he really went there, with Cao Cao's power at that time, Liu Yi would not receive much attention as a craftsman, let alone be able to show off his strength like now. At most, he would only find a prosperous city and have enough food and clothing. It is impossible to be a great minister like now. It can only be said that it is mutual success.

Sometimes fate is really wonderful. The little craftsman in Wolonggang has grown to a point where he can control the situation in the world. Who would have thought of that back then?

"What do you think of the Battle of Guanzhong?" Liu Bei did not respond, but just asked with a smile.

"The General of the Cheqi and Cavalry has already captured the land of Longyou and has seized Jieting as a basis. This place is extremely critical. You can attack and retreat and defend. Now it depends on the battle of Chencang. If you can capture this place, the west of Ji County will be my gain. The troops that the Wei army can mobilize in Guanzhong will be concentrated in the martial arts area!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"In this way, as long as the martial arts battle can be won, Guanzhong can be defeated?" Liu Bei smiled. He was already very satisfied with such a result.

"Of course, I think that if Chen Cang is really captured, the battle will be 90% better!" Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded, and then reminded: "Your Majesty, don't forget Ziwu's Way! If the Wei army in Guanzhong gathers in martial arts, then Chang'an will be empty. At this time, Wei Yan sent troops. If Chang'an can be captured in one fell swoop, the Wei army will have nowhere to rely on!"

"I have been wondering whether Bo Yuan insisted on building Ziwu Road when he just obtained Hanzhong. Is it just for today?" Liu Bei said curiously.

"Maybe, Bo Yuan's vision is often beyond ordinary people." Zhuge Liang did not have a clear answer, but one thing is certain. When Liu Yi built Ziwu Road, he was indeed determined to conquer Chang'an. However, whether he wanted to attack or prepare for today is still up to date. After all, Liu Yi's combat style is conservative, but in terms of strategy, Zhuge Liang's opinion is indeed a radical one. When his own safety is guaranteed, Liu Yi does not mind others taking risks to make big profits, but he will never take risks in person.

"Your Majesty, General Wei Yan is looking for a meeting outside the hall!" While the two of them were visiting the garden, an attendant took small steps and trotted to Liu Bei and bowed.

"Wen Chang?" Liu Bei was a little surprised when he heard this: "He is not in the military camp, why is he here?"

"Maybe it brought good news." Zhuge Liang picked up the feather fan that Liu Yixin gave him and shook it gently, and said with a smile indifferently.

"Biography!" Liu Bei nodded after hearing this and ordered someone to bring Wei Yan here directly.

Soon, Wei Yan followed the servant quickly to Liu Bei, bowed and said, "I, please see Your Majesty."

"There is no need to be too polite to be a polite person." Liu Bei reached out to support Wei Yan and smiled and said, "Wen Chang is not in the military camp, how can he come to the palace?"

"Your Majesty, news came from the front line that Chen Cang has been broken, General Yide has joined forces with Huang Zhong and Chen Dao. The last general thought that Cao's army would do its best to block our army in the martial arts area, and it was time to win a surprise!" Wei Yan raised his head and looked at the two of them with a bright look.

"Oh?" Zhuge Liang gently shook the feather fan and smiled, "Wen Chang thought, how to win by surprise?"

"The last general can lead the troops of our troops to Ziwu Road and go straight to Chang'an!" Wei Yan bowed and said, "If Chang'an is coming, the generals of the Wei army in Guanzhong will become rootless and will collapse without fighting!"

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang smiled and looked at each other and said, "I am discussing this matter with Kong Ming, but I don't expect Chen Cang to be compromised so quickly."

"Then..." Wei Yan's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhuge Liang expectantly.

"Wen Chang's army of 10,000 was originally prepared for today, but before leaving, there is one thing for the two. With this thing to help, it may help the general to take Chang'an more easily!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"Oh?" Wei Yan bowed and said, "I don't know what the Prime Minister said?"
