Chapter 240
After Liu Ping led the army to Chang'an, he commended Wang Ping, and then made Zhongxiu Jing Zhaoyin to temporarily handle Chang'an's government affairs, Wang Ping continued to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Chang'an, although there are no enemy troops around Chang'an now, but if a group of soldiers and horses out of Meridian Valley, it will not only threaten Chang'an, but also threaten Tongguan and Luoyang. With Zhong Xiu and Wang Ping sitting in town, Liu Wei was very relieved.
After the army arrived in Xianyang, Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang had already withdrawn, and the grain and grass, weapons, and leather armor in the city were looted. If it weren't for the urgency of time, the slope valley road would be difficult, and Zhuge Liang would probably even withdraw the people.
Liu Jian did not delay much and continued to the west. When he was about to arrive in Chencheng, the scouts reported that the Hanzhong army was stationed in Wuzhangyuan, and Xiahou Wei was stationed in Chencheng.
"Master, Cao Cao may have formed an alliance with Liu Bei!" Fa Zheng frowned.
"Cao Cao formed an alliance with Liu Bei?" Liu Jun listened to Fa Zheng's words, a little disbelieving, "This... Liu Bei and Cao Cao have been on the same page since the battle of Xuzhou, Cao Cao has been chasing Liu Bei to Runan, Nanyang, Xinye, and Jiangxia, Liu Bei has almost died many times, how can the two of them form an alliance?"
Xiahou Tun Bingcheng, things are very strange.
"When Zhuge Liang attacked Xianyang, it was not surprising that Xiahou Wei might take the opportunity to capture Xianyang. "Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang are not there, the commanders of the Hanzhong army are only Zhang Wei and Yang Ren, and the abilities of the two of them should be far from Xiahou Wei.
"But the strange thing is that Zhuge Liang is now in Wuzhangyuan!" Fa Zheng's brows furrowed even tighter, "What they are pointing at is not Xiancheng, but us! And behind them is Xiahou Wei, Zhuge Liang is cautious in using troops, under normal circumstances, he will never leave his back behind the enemy!"
Liu Jun thought about it, what Fa Zheng said was very reasonable, judging from the situation of the garrison, Zhuge Liang and Xiahou Wei were fighting each other, obviously their goals were themselves.
"Liu Bei is really hypocritical, full of words about the Xingfu Han Chamber, and he is at odds with Cao Thief, but in the blink of an eye, the two have formed an alliance!" said Li Yan angrily.
"There are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal strength. In troubled times, you can only rely on yourself!" Liu Jun's voice was full of confidence, and now he figured it out, and at the same time remembered this sentence in the later life.
"There are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests..." Fa Zheng repeated Liu Jun's words, his mood seemed to be suddenly cheerful, and he gave Liu Jun a deep salute, "What a wonderful thing to say, the lord has far-reaching insights, and his words break the mystery, let me see the clouds and open up the sun!" Li
Yan and Deng Ai were also impressed.
Let these three people be so admired, Liu Jun is proud at the same time, but also a little embarrassed, "Xiaozhi, then what should we do?"
"Confront Zhuge Liang head-on, if there is a chance, defeat Xiahou Wei!"
"Good!" Although Zhuge Liang was as wise as a demon, Liu Liang knew that if it was about military talent, Fa Zheng would not lose to Zhuge Liang, plus Li Yan and Deng Ai, he was not afraid of Zhuge Liang.
About three miles away from the Hanzhong army camp, Liu Jun's army set up camp. Zhuge Liang only had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, while Liu Liang had an army of 40,000, so Liu Jun's entire camp was in the shape of a "mountain", with 20,000 troops in the middle, slightly protruding, 10,000 soldiers and horses on the left, the general Li Yan of the unified army, 10,000 soldiers and horses on the right, the general of the unified army, Deng Ai, as if three sharp knives, aimed at Zhuge Liang's large camp.
When Zhuge Liang set up camp in Wuzhangyuan, he obviously did not think of taking the initiative to attack, mainly to defend. Although there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, they are arranged according to the orientation of the eight formations, and when they look at it from afar, they are murderous, as if tens of thousands of elite soldiers are hidden.
Liu Jun's soldiers and horses were more than three times his size, and it was obviously unwise to take the initiative to attack, and it was Zhuge Liang's overall strategy to brake quietly and defend instead of attack.
In addition to Guan Ping patrolling the camp, Zhuge Liang summoned all the generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Wei, Yang Ren and others into the marshal tent.
"Military master, Liu Jun's army has arrived, we... How should we deal with it?" Zhang Fei's voice was very loud, but this time he rarely asked to go forward.
Huang Zhong, the first general of Jingzhou, became more famous after the battle with Guan Yu. For example, today, the only one who can fight with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and others without falling behind, is Huang Zhong. Moreover, in people's private discussions, Huang Zhong has faintly become the number one general in the world.
Zhang Fei looked reckless, but he was actually thick and thin. He can not be afraid of Huang Zhong, but he definitely can't defeat Huang Zhong, so even if he challenges, there is no point.
Guan Yu had a gloomy face and did not speak. The defeat outside Chang'an City was wiped out, and even if he was arrogant, he didn't have much say here.
In this era, a general, without his own ministry, is in a very awkward situation.
A fierce general as strong as Zhao Yun, after Changsaka Slope lost his own subordinates, he could only be Liu Bei's guard forever in previous history, and basically did not lead troops to fight any battles. In the current history, too, Liu Bei abandoned him when Jiangxia used his broken wrist to escape. If he hadn't surrendered to Liu Jun, I am afraid that he would have done nothing in his life.
"Yide doesn't need to be anxious, we should not change, but change!" Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, appearing very relaxed and confident, "If Liu Wei wants to storm the camp, it will inevitably cause him to suffer heavy casualties, and at that time, Xiahou Wei will definitely send troops to attack Liu Jun's camp and let him rout." "
Military master, then what if Liu Jun also stands still and confronts us?" Yang Ren's face was full of worry, "The grain and grass of the Han army can be transported through Luoyang and Chang'an, and our grain and grass have to pass through the sloped valley, the road is rough, and the grain and grass of the Wei army will be even more difficult, and it will be extremely unfavorable to us for a long time!"
Captain Yang is right, indeed, a long-term confrontation is not good for us, but Liu Wei can't continue to confront us for a long time!"
Zhang Wei also felt a little puzzled, obviously on people's territory, how can it be said that people can't hold on?
"First of all, Xiahou Wei will not be idle all the time, he is more anxious than us, he will definitely go to find trouble with Liu Jun!" Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan a few more times and looked to the south, "In addition, Xiangyang will not be so calm, if there is movement and chaos, can Liu Jun still stay here?
