“General, there is movement among the Shu captives, what should we do?”

"Immediately send someone to follow them along the river bank." Xian Yufu looked gloomy and stared at the other bank closely, as if he wanted to see the other bank clearly.

Now he finally knows why the name Feng Thief can stop the children in Guanzhong from crying at night.

It was just a letter, but it actually disturbed my thoughts.

“We must find out whether the person facing us is Feng Thief. If it is really him, where is he going?”

 Since Feng Thief left Qiaoshan, there has been no news for several months.

 It wouldn’t be too outrageous if he appeared on the other side at this time.

 After all, from Yanmen to Hedong, how many big cities and dangerous passes are there?

Can't actually stop the cavalry led by Guan Suo, this is the most outrageous thing for his mother!

After Xian Yufu sent out his troops, he returned to the camp and quickly wrote a military report and sent people to Xicheng.

 “Has Thief Feng finally appeared?”

In the general camp of the Wei army in Yicheng, the great Sima An of the Wei state was sitting in front of the desk, after reading the military report sent by Xian Yufu.

There was a hint of surprise on his face, but he quickly regained his composure and threw the military newspaper beside the desk.

 There, a mountain-like pile of bamboo slips has been piled up.

 Not only were sent from various places in China, but also from Luoyang.

On the corner of the desk, there are several folded bamboo slips, which are the edicts sent by the emperor these days, and are put aside alone.

Sima Yi put his left hand on the volumes of edicts, patted them subconsciously, and murmured:

“Thief Feng is really going to the east of the river. It seems that the west of the river may not be able to be defended.”

It’s not that he doesn’t believe in Xian Yufu, but that he understands one thing: Xian Yufu cannot stop the joint attack of Feng Thief and Guan Suo.

At that time, Cao Zhen's army of 100,000 was defeated by the joint efforts of these two men.

Now Xian Yufu only has 30,000 people in his hands, so it is even more impossible to stop these two people, even if there is a big river to support them.

 For Sima Yi, this battle has long been lost.

 Already lost before it even started.

 Because the other party’s far-reaching plans and massive actions far exceeded his imagination.

In Sima Yi's view, from the moment the Shu captives entered Sizhou, the Battle of Guanzhong had come to an end.

 Hence, he had always pretended not to have seen the emperor's edict urging him to send troops.

 What he has to consider now is not how to defeat Zhuge Liang, but how to minimize losses when exiting Guanzhong.

 More importantly, what should you do after exiting Guanzhong?

If you fail to defend your territory, you will be severely punished according to Wei law.

 So in order to prevent his family members from being implicated, the commanders who defended the city often had no choice but to die for their country to show their will.

When Longyou was lost, the emperor took advantage of Zhang He's death to return to Luoyang.

 After the defeat of Xiaoguan, Cao Zhen fell seriously ill and died.

 When Liangzhou was lost, the governor Xu Miao died for his country.

 When Bingzhou was lost, the governor Bi Gui died for his country.

 Now it’s Guanzhong’s turn...

Sima Yi took out a secret letter from his arms, which was secretly sent by Liu Fang and Sun Zi.

This secret letter was kept close to his body when he slept at night.

But I saw him sighing softly: "If Fenglingdu falls into the hands of Feng Thief, the angels may not be able to get through, right?"

Since these days, Sima Yi has been hoping that the palace can send angels to come to Guanzhong to officially inform him.

Rather than like now, we can only guess what is going on with His Majesty and what he wants to do from letters sent secretly by others.

 But it was obvious that he might be disappointed.

 It seems that His Majesty the Emperor does not want him to know something.

Even if he wanted to wait, the news that Feng Thief appeared in Hedong forced him to make up his mind:

 “Here comes someone!”

 “Da Sima.”

"Immediately send people to Qian County, saying that I need to defeat the Ge thieves as soon as possible to save the defeat of Sizhou in Bingzhou. Please lead General Qin to immediately lead the army from Chencang to Wuzhangyuan, and attack the Ge thieves front and rear with me to decide the outcome."

 “No!”

Feng Jishi had no idea that just by showing up in Hedong, the main forces of the Han and Wei armies, which had been facing each other across the river in Wuzhangyuan for more than half a year, began to change.

According to the plan, he led the army southward from Pubanjin until they reached Fengling Ferry, where they stopped.

 After paying homage to Fengling, Governor Feng began to order the cutting of bamboo trees to make rafts for the forced crossing.

Upon hearing the news, Xian Yufu did not dare to neglect, and quickly sent out troops to support the guards at Tongguan.

Just after part of the Wei army at Pubanjin was transferred away, the Han army on the east bank suddenly started to move.

 The rafts and wooden boats that had been prepared long ago began to be pushed into the river by the Han soldiers.

At the same time, some Liangzhou horsemen tied the sheepskins that had been blown in advance to both sides of the war horses, and then drove the horses into the water.

Horses can swim, and with the help of the sheepskin tube, it is enough to help the war horse swim to the other side.

 For a while, people by the river were shouting and making a lot of noise.

 When the Wei army on the west bank learned of the movement, they immediately lit beacons and sounded the alarm.

“General, it’s not good! The Shu captives seem to want to cross the river!”

After receiving the news, Xian Yufu stood up in Huo Ran and said, "Here comes, prepare your horses!"

 When he rushed to the shore and saw the situation on the other side, he suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled:

"I had expected that Feng Thief's trip to Fenglingdu was just a trick to lure the enemy, in order to induce me to divide our troops. When I saw it today, it turned out to be the case!"

Although he sent 5,000 men to Tongguan as a precaution, the main force still stayed in Pubanjin, even if he was betting that the Shu captives would still cross the river from Pubanjin.

 It seems that this time, the bet was really right.

 “Send the order, get in formation!”

 “Woo woo woo…”
