"Dang Dang Dang..."

A loud golden sound sounded, and the Wei army officers and soldiers who had been fighting fiercely for a day received the order to withdraw. They broke away from the battle and retreated towards the rear camp.

The blood-like setting sun gradually fell to the west, the sunset quickly disappeared from the sky with dusk, and the dark night gradually fell on the earth.

Outside Jiameng Pass, the Wei army camp.

With the help of the dim lights in front of the case, Gongsun Yang quietly stared at the map in front of him, with a hint of worry tightly knitted between his brows.

"teacher……"

A call sounded outside the tent, and when Gongsun Yang looked up, Wei Shen and Empress Du stepped into the tent one after another.

Noticing the look on Gongsun Yang's face, Wei Shen immediately asked: "Teacher, are you worried because the war is going badly?"

"Yes." Recalling the fierce battles in front of Jiameng Pass in the past few days, Gongsun Yang couldn't help but sigh, "Jiameng Pass is worthy of being the most powerful pass from Hanzhong to Shu."

"According to the information obtained by Xizuo, our army could easily capture Jiameng Pass with the strength of our army."

"It's just that the movement in the direction of Chengdu is not slow. Now that 10,000 reinforcements have arrived, it has become more difficult for our army to capture Jiameng."

"If our army attacks with all its strength, it is not impossible to capture Jiameng Pass, but I'm afraid there will be casualties..."

Having led troops in Guanzhong for many years, Gongsun Yang was very familiar with the combat power of the Wei army. He also knew that it was only a matter of time before the Wei army captured Jiameng Pass regardless of the cost.

But this time their mission was to escort Crown Prince Du and Empress Du back to Shu. They suffered too much damage at the Jiameng Pass in front of them, so it was obviously not a wise move.

The worry on his face faded slightly, and Gongsun Yang looked at Wei Shen, "How is the situation in the army?"

"Teacher, please rest assured. Although our army has been delayed at Jiameng Pass these days, the morale of our soldiers is still high."

"In addition, the grain, grass and baggage from Guanzhong will continue to arrive from Guanzhong, and the army's morale will not have to worry in a short time."

"That's good."

After listening to Wei Shen's introduction, the worry on Gongsun Yang's face was reduced a bit, but only for a moment, the look of contemplation reappeared on his face.

"Continuing like this is not a long-term solution. Our army should find another way to overcome the barrier."

"Since attacking can't work, what about attacking the heart?"

While muttering to himself, Gongsun Yang looked at Empress Du who had been silently standing aside.

"May I ask the prince, how was your previous contact with the general in Guanzhong?"

"To be honest, sir, the original guard of Jiameng Pass really loved me, King Zhengshuo of Shu, and had expressed his intention to surrender before."

"But since the arrival of 10,000 reinforcements from Chengdu, although the two sides still communicate frequently, the other side's attitude has become increasingly ambiguous."

Facing Gongsun Yang's inquiry, while Du Hou introduced the situation, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

A sudden realization appeared on Gongsun Yang's face, "It seems that the other party is indeed intentional, but it's just because of the huge reinforcements."

"Since the other side is still not resolute, our army will add another fire to this pile of dry wood."

As he spoke, a dangerous look suddenly appeared in Gongsun Yang's eyes.

…

That night, several fast horses rushed to the wall of Jiameng Pass with a burst of horse hooves.

Seeing the Wei cavalry attack late at night, the Shu army above Guancheng immediately became alert, fearing that this was a precursor to the Wei army's offensive outside the city.

But what confused the Shu soldiers above the city was that the Wei cavalry below the pass had no further plans.

Slowly pulling out a special feathered arrow from the quiver of the horse beneath him, the Wei cavalry opened their bows and nocked arrows, shooting at the critical moment with their sharp eyes.

"Whoosh..."

The sharp arrows streaked across the dark night sky, and after a few breaths, the arrow clusters penetrated deeply into the wall of the tower above the wall.

After doing all this, the hurried Wei cavalry stopped staying, turned around, dismounted their horses, and immediately returned along the original road.

After the cavalry of the Wei army disappeared under the pass, the arrow that shot into the pass was quickly handed over to the brigade commander of the Shu army on duty.

"Commander of the Brigade, there is a letter on the arrow."

Taking the feathered arrow from the soldier's hand and taking down the letter that had been shot into the city by the Wei army, the brigade commander on duty immediately opened it and read it.

Just after taking a look, the expression on his face immediately changed drastically, and a nervous look appeared in his eyes.

"You must be closely guarded while you wait here. I will go and report to the general immediately."

"Here."

…

That is to say, when the brigade commander on duty quickly ran down to the critical moment, a room in Jiameng Pass was brightly lit.

"General, the Wei army is powerful outside the city. We should prepare early."

"Yes, the prince has promised us before that after Guancheng changes hands, we will all be the ministers who have contributed to the restoration of the Shu Kingdom."

"General, time does not wait for us. When the day comes when the Wei army is defeated, it will be too late."

…

The persuasion of a Shu army officer beside him made the guard general Jiameng Guanyuan sitting at the top feel complicated in his mind.

How could he not know that it was simply impossible to stop the elite army of Wei outside the Pass with just the strength of himself and others?

What's more, the current ones are just the tip of the iceberg of Wei's entire combat power. Even if Jiameng Pass can block it for a while, sooner or later the barrier will be broken.

However, since the arrival of 10,000 reinforcements, Jiameng Pass was no longer the Jiameng Pass that he had firmly controlled in the past. All actions depended on the face of Marquis Ju's confidants.

Just when complex thoughts were swirling in the mind of the guard at Jiameng Gate, the sound of footsteps rushed into the room.

"General, something bad has happened. This is a letter sent by the Wei army into the city tonight."

After listening to the report from the brigade marshal who rushed into the room, General Jiameng Gate took the letter with a gloomy face.

After taking the letter from the other party and seeing the contents clearly, the expression on the face of General Jiameng Gate immediately became extremely solemn.

"Is Wei Jun planning to put me to death?"

The reason why General Jiameng Pass said such words was because what was written in this letter was none other than the details of his previous communication with the prince of Shu and his request for them to start an uprising in Guancheng as soon as possible.

The Wei army also promised them in the letter that once they engage in a head-on battle with the Chengdu reinforcements, the Wei army will immediately launch a fierce attack on Jiameng Pass to cope with their offensive.

After a long time, the expression on the face of the guard at Jiameng Pass became a bit more happy. If this secret letter fell into the hands of that confidant of Marquis Ju, the consequences would be disastrous.

But when I thought about it again, the look on his face turned ugly again.

The reason why Wei Jun fired this letter into Jiameng Pass with great fanfare was obviously a conspiracy.

Once this secret letter falls into the hands of Juhou's people, he will be desperate and will take the lead in launching an attack on the Chengdu reinforcements in order to protect himself.

The secret message fell into the hands of their people. In order to cover up their previous contact with the prince of Shu, they had to embark on the road of cooperation with the Wei army.

"Wei Guo has completely cut off his retreat. At this moment, he can only go one way to the end."

After understanding his situation, a touch of determination suddenly appeared in the eyes of the guard at Jiameng Pass.

"I can't keep this matter secret for long. For now, we can only attack first."

"Everyone, would you like me to join you?"

"I am willing to listen to the general's instructions."
