A person with high emotional intelligence is said to be more assertive and very persistent in doing things.

The term "low emotional intelligence" is just one-sided, a bit naive, and stubborn...

Since Liu Bei's death and Zhuge Liang's first trip to Qishan, Wei has never defeated the Han army on the battlefield.

The emperor of Wei, the chief minister, generals, governors, etc. were all defeated by the Han army.

But Jia Xu thought he could be an exception.

Guo Huai is not Jia Xu, and he does not have Jia Xu’s self-confidence:

"We have to go faster, otherwise, if Jia Xu is defeated too quickly, the Shu captives will catch up soon."

Guo Huai used Jia Xu as bait to stop Jiang Wei's pursuit.

What he didn't know was that Sima Yi also used him as bait and planned to use him to catch a big turtle, a big turtle that was fishing by the river.

Not only that, while Guo Huai withdrew his troops, he did not forget to follow Sima Yi's instructions and send fast horses to the northwest along the Jing River.

Let's see if there is any way to get Deng Ai, who is approaching Xiao Pass, to try to return to Chang'an from Jingshui.

I definitely can’t go back to Qian County.

In Guo Huai's view, Grand Sima had already made plans to abandon most of Guanzhong, and was preparing to shrink his troops and rely on Chang'an or Tongguan to fight the Shu captives to the death.

It's just that Xiaoguan is too far away from Chang'an, so whether Deng Ai can lead his army back is still a question.

But this is not within the scope of Guo Huai's consideration. After all, he has problems with his own retreat.

As for Qin Lang, the Cavalry General, that is not something Guo Huai should consider. I think the Great Sima has his own arrangements.

What Guo Huai didn't know was that Da Sima had arranged it, but in Da Sima's eyes, not only was he, Guo Huai, a bait, but Deng Ai, who was under Xiao Guan, was even more a bait.

As for Qin Lang... he is a bait bigger than himself, and this bait is about to be swallowed by the Han Prime Minister.

Forty miles to the west of Wuzhangyuan, Wei Yan of the Han army had already led his army around Weibei, and could cross the river at any time and insert himself diagonally into Qinlang's rear.

As for Qin Lang's two wings, the Han army's northern and southern armies had finally regained their mobility, and their armored cavalry had been wandering around, preparing to attack.

Directly opposite, the Tiger Infantry pressed forward step by step, constantly demolishing the outer perimeter of Qinlang's camp.

"General, we can't stop it outside!"

"I saw."

Qin Lang stood on the command platform inside the camp, looking calm as he watched the last ditch being filled in by the Han army.

He was born of Du family and inherited his mother's excellent genes. As his name suggests, he has a handsome face that is always a bit soft, making people feel like they want to get close to him.

It is not without reason that Cao Rui always likes to let him stay in the palace.

It's just that at this time, Qin Lang's face no longer had the usual softness, but was only calm. The calm was filled with deathly ashes, and the deathly ashes were full of despair.

They agreed to attack the Shu army together, but after a heavy rain, the Shu army attacked themselves.

Where is Da Sima?!

Where is Sima Yi?!

How dare he?!

"Where are the people who were sent for help today?"

Qin Lang asked in a low voice.

Until the Han army came to the gate of the camp, Qin Lang still couldn't believe that Sima Yi had left him and ran away.

He would rather believe that Sima Yi was defeated by Zhuge Liang.

Over the past few days, he has been trying to find ways to rescue people outside.

"General...General, no soldiers are willing to break out and ask for help. Moreover, we have sent out so many groups of troops to ask for help. It has been so long, and no news has come back..."

The deputy general muttered, unable to speak any more.

To the north is the Weishui River, to the south is the Qinling Mountains, to the east is the Shu army, and the only place to go is Chencang in the west.

But there are only a few thousand people in Chencang, so what can they do?

Even if all the garrison troops from Qian County come over, it won't help much.

The only thing that can really save the current situation is the east.

"General? How about we..."

The deputy general said tentatively.

Qin Lang turned his head, his eyes cold:

"What?"

The deputy general swallowed a mouthful of saliva:

"Since there has been no news from Da Sima, why don't we retreat to Chencang?"

Qin Lang had a bitter look on his face and pointed to the side:

"Can't retreat."

That's where the Shu Cavalry Army appeared.

If it had been before, I couldn't defeat him, but I could at least outrun him. After all, where did the war horses come from in Shu?

But since the loss of Longyou, especially Liangzhou, the Shu captives' cavalry suddenly became the best in the world.

Anyone who dares to escape with the Shu captives on their backs will be doomed.

If he was defeated and fled, he might not be able to turn back.

When the deputy general heard this, he also had a sad look on his face:

"General, what should we do?"

"What should I do? I can only repay the king with my heart!"

Qin Lang seemed to have made his choice long ago, his eyes were firm:

"We have received great favor from Your Majesty and have already dedicated our lives to Your Majesty. Now that we encounter a strong enemy, we must fight to kill the enemy to repay Your Majesty's kindness!"

With that said, Qin Lang pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted:

"I, Qin Lang, swear here that I will fight to the death with all the generals in this battle, but if I have one breath left, I will fight to the death with all the generals!"

Infected by the general's emotions, the generals of the Imperial Guard standing around and under the high platform roared:

"Fight to the death!"

They were loyal to Cao Rui, and their families were being held hostage in Luoyang, so there was no room for surrender at this time.

There was huge resentment in Qin Lang's eyes:

Sima Yi, if I am lucky enough to return to Luoyang, I must avenge you for not saving me today!

"Pass on my military orders, and the generals will return to their camps, mobilize their elites, and obey orders at any time!"

"promise!"

Outside the camp, the Shu captives had filled in a section of the last trench, rolled out huge bridge carts, and built two wide roads.

A ramming car made of logs whittled into sharp points was pushed in front of the ditch.

It seemed that Shulu didn't want to give himself any chance to breathe.
