Chapter 0991 retreat(2/3)

After arranging the matter, Governor Feng immediately organized his army and left all the grain, grass, cattle and sheep he had stolen from the Xianbei barbarians with Jiang Wei.

 He took all the dry food and turned around and headed north.

This incident happened, and many people within the Liangzhou Army were caught off guard and did not react at all.

Not to mention the Wei army who only wanted to retreat.

After receiving the news from the Wei army ahead, Guo Huai rushed to the camp closest to the Han army as soon as possible.

Although he missed the firelight at night, the billowing black smoke during the day was obviously more conspicuous than the firelight at night.

 When he arrived, the shouts of killing from the opposite side were still faintly heard and never subsided.

 Obviously, the Shu captives were most likely involved in civil strife.

If the opponent were someone else, Guo Huai would have already begun to think about taking the initiative and go to test it out.

 It’s just that the terrain of Qiaoshan is too complex.

More importantly, Guo Huai knew that Feng Thief was extremely cunning, and if he was not careful, he might fall into the opponent's plan.

So he did not act rashly, but sent out scouts to try his best to find out what happened to the Shu captives.

Many scouts of the Wei army took advantage of the chaos and witnessed with their own eyes the brutal fighting, or rather a semi-massacre, in the valley.

This extremely strange situation made Guo Huai even more confused and confused.

As more and more Hu people fled to the south, some noble Hu people even took the initiative to run to the mountains under the escort of their personal guards to ask for help from the Wei army.

The Wei army finally determined that the Shu captives had really fallen out with the Hu people.

Coupled with the subsequent large-scale mobilization of the Han army, there was naturally no way to hide this from the Wei army, which had been paying close attention to its opponents.

“General, after this civil strife, the Shu captives feared that they would realize that they were unable to attack Qiaoshan again, so they took the initiative to retreat.”

"I think the morale of the Shu captives must be low at this time. If we take this opportunity to attack, we will be able to defeat the thieves."

 Someone made suggestions immediately.

Hearing this, Guo Huai was greatly moved.

However, this thought flashed past him in the end. In the end, he rejected the huge temptation in front of him, shook his head and said:

"Even if the Shu captives are at war with the Hu people, Feng Thief still has nearly 30,000 troops, so don't be careless."

"When I came to Qiaoshan, Grand Sima repeatedly told me that I could only stay tight and not attack. How could I disobey Grand Sima's order?"

“It’s better to report this matter to the Grand Sima first and see how the Grand Sima arranges it.”

This statement is reasonable and reasonable, and no one can find fault with it.

 Because Da Sima did have this instruction.

It's just that in front of the two armies, the battle situation is changing rapidly. The general does not think about taking advantage of the opportunity to defeat the thieves, but only obeys the orders of the superior officers hundreds of miles away. This is not the way to lead an army.

 Most of the generals in the army were dissatisfied if they had not fought at Xiaoguan.

 One of the generals, Jia Xu, even privately said to the military commander Guo Mo:

“This can be said to be as fearful of Shu as a tiger?”

When Feng Jishi led his army to withdraw from the Qiaoshan Mountains, Jiang Wei sent people from behind to deliver the first military information after the division of troops.

After reading the military information, Governor Feng clicked his tongue and murmured:

“It seems that Guo Huai is so good at Sima Yi’s endurance skills that he is unwilling to attack.”

 He took a deep look at Qiaoshan behind him and ordered:

 “Send the order, and the whole army will move forward quickly!”

 “The king has your destiny, hurry up and move forward!”

Twenty thousand elite riders set off the billowing smoke and swept towards the north.

 …

At the same time, in the Jingshui River Valley more than four hundred miles west of Qiaoshan, news about Wang Ping finally reached Deng Zhi.

 When he learned that the Wei thieves had a large army heading north along the Central Road, Deng Zhi couldn't help being shocked:

“After the battle at Xiaoguan, the Wei thieves no longer dared to return to the middle road to go north. I didn’t expect that the Wei thieves still had the guts to do this.”

At that moment, he did not dare to hesitate, and quickly ordered Liu Yin to stay in peace and prevent the Wei thieves from coming up the Jing River.

 Then he and Ma Dai led ten thousand people and hurried back to Xiaoguan.

By this time, Deng Ai had already crossed several streams at the foot of Longshan Mountain and quickly headed towards Xiaoguan.

Deng Ai forced Deng Zhi to return, which not only reduced the pressure on Guanzhong, but also allowed Xian Yufu to dispatch part of his troops to Qiaoshan to support Guo Huai when the situation was urgent.

  When the military information sent by Xian Yufu and Guo Huai arrived in Yicheng one after another, Sima Yi was greatly inspired.

He sent the military report to the generals in the army and said with a smile:

"The Shu soldiers came in three groups. Two groups are no longer worthy of fear. Only Zhuge Liang's group is left. How can they hold out for a long time? I think they will have to retreat not long after they arrive!"

 I immediately wrote a memorial and sent it to Luoyang.

Then he sent someone to deliver a message to Qiaoshan, praising Guo Huai's prudence, and once again strictly ordered the generals to completely obey Guo Huai's command.

At the same time, he was authorized to Guo Huai. Anyone who disobeys the order can be dealt with by military law.

Just when Guanzhong was completely at a deadlock, the banks of the river in Wuyuan County were peaceful and peaceful.

 This is a grazing land given by God.

The sergeants in charge of herding either cut the grass for fodder or drove their horses to areas with abundant water and grass.

 “The sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the grass is blown by the wind and cattle and sheep appear...”

General Guan stood on the edge of the river, watching all this, and couldn't help but read two sentences that Governor Feng had once read.

No wonder Alang always likes to live in seclusion outside the Great Wall in the end in his chivalrous novels.

 At this moment, the rapid sound of horse hooves came from behind.

 “General, I will report something at the end.”

General Guan glanced at Liu Hun, who was blocked by his guards, and motioned to let him in.

Liu Hun hurried over and whispered:

“General, we intercepted a barbarian’s passing cavalry.”

"A messenger from the barbarians?" General Guan was stunned, "Is he delivering a message to Gao Que?"

 “Exactly.”

 “Why did you stop him if nothing happened?”

Liu Hun hesitated for a moment before continuing:

“General, I have discovered that the number of barbarian messengers going to Gaoque in the past two days has suddenly increased, and these messengers do not approach our camp to ask for food as before.”

"Instead, they deliberately avoided our camp. When I saw them twice, they turned around and ran away in fear. Therefore, I thought there must be something strange here."

"Huh?" General Guan's eyes narrowed, "So you deliberately intercepted a barbarian knight?"

Liu Hun said quickly:

“General, don’t worry, the general only accidentally shot his horse while hunting, and then brought him to the camp.”

General Guan glanced at him. No wonder Alang always valued this person.

 These words are spoken as if they were true.

 “What’s the question?”

Liu Hun frowned: "He only said that he was ordered by Yu Zhugejian to go to Gaoque and inform the coalition forces that they had captured two mountains of Wei thieves."

General Guan said "Oh", "Do you think there is something weird in this?"

"Yes! If it is such a good thing, why do the Hu Ren Chuanqi avoid our camp like a snake and a scorpion? And I see that the Hu Ren Chuanqi speaks in a flash, as if he is hiding something from us..."

 Seeing Liu Hun so suspicious, General Guan laughed and said:

"If something happens, why don't you give us news? Forget it, give him a horse and let him go."

Seeing General Guan Hun's indifferent expression, Liu Hun opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything more. After agreeing, he turned around and went down to make arrangements.

 Ever since Junhou led the army to leave, Liu Hun found that he could not understand the battle of Guanzhong more and more.

 He also thought that the king asked General Guan to guard Wuyuan County in order to raid Kebineng at any time.

Unexpectedly, it seems that General Guan doesn't care about Ke Bineng at all.

But if it weren't for Ke Bineng, it would be completely meaningless for the army to stay here.

Liu Hun let out a long sigh, feeling a little depressed.

He was about to walk around the camp when he suddenly saw a familiar figure sneaking into a certain tent.

Liu Hun's heart moved and he followed.
