Nanzheng, Shu Palace.
In the main hall, the aroma of wine is overflowing, the fragrance of meat is exquisite, and the dragon case is full of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Gou Jian on the throne couldn't raise much appetite, so he could only barely eat a few bites.
He couldn't move too violently, the arrow wound on his ass had just begun to heal, and every time he pulled it, it hurt so much that he grinned.
The pain, coupled with the current unfavorable situation, made Gou Jian in a state of sadness most of the time, and he didn't know how to eat.
In comparison, his appetite is good today, and he can barely eat a few bites.
Because just a few days ago, Zhang Ren sent him a good news, claiming that he had repelled a large attack of the Wei army, and annihilated as many as 5,000 invading Wei troops.
This piece of information was like a shot in the arm for Gou Jian, and it rekindled a glimmer of hope for him to survive.
Although Gou Jian knew that Zhang Ren's battle report was exaggerated, at most he killed and injured more than 1,000 Wei troops.
However, at this critical moment of ups and downs, even a small victory is enough to inspire people and ignite Gou Jian's confidence to persevere.
"Zhang Song has sent an urgent report, Cao Cao has gathered 80,000 troops to go south, the front has reached the north entrance of the valley, it will not take ten days, Cao Cao's army will be able to enter Hanzhong, as long as it holds on for another ten days" Gou Jian is more and more thoughts, the more his heart is wider, and his appetite is gradually getting better, and he can't help but take a few more mouthfuls of meat.
Gou Jian pondered again, just relying on the 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yangping Pass, it seems that there is a little less, and there are 178,000 Dingkou in Hanzhong, and the forced conscription can barely make up nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses.
Gou Jian decided to immediately issue a royal order, immediately ordering the counties to which Hanzhong belonged to recruit young men to participate as soon as possible to enrich his military strength.
As for the forcible conscription of young and strong men into the army, it will seriously affect agriculture and cause great damage to agriculture.
Moreover, the purpose of his eagerness to recruit troops was not only to resist the potters, but also to guard against Cao Cao.
Otherwise, he repelled the pottery merchants, and if Cao Cao suddenly turned against him, how could he deal with Cao Cao's 80,000 troops with the 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yangping Pass alone "Well, just do me like this, I don't believe it, I can't step this hurdle, potter, Cao Cao, I'll let you two guys fight each other, so I can sit and reap the benefits" The more Gou Jian thought about it, the more proud he became, the corners of his mouth even raised a cold smirk, his appetite became excellent, he drank the wine cup by glass, and the meat was eaten in a big gulp.
"Baoyang Pingguan Urgent" Just as Gou Jian had just picked up a piece of fatty mutton and was about to stuff it into his mouth, a rapid cry sounded outside the hall.
Gou Jian subconsciously stopped moving, holding the fat chopsticks and hanging them in front of his mouth.
Looking up, I saw a scout rushing in, with a panicked face, kneeling down in front of the steps in a few steps, and shouting in a trembling voice: "King Yu, Zhang Renfazheng, Li Yan and Yan Yan Wang Ping have fled back to Nanzheng with two thousand defeated soldiers, Huangquan Wang Fu was killed by the Wei general Han Xin, and Yangping Pass was lost."
Let's go Gou Jian's body trembled violently, the chopsticks were so shocked that they couldn't hold it steadily, and the piece of fat fell to the ground in response.
In an instant, Gou Jian held the chopsticks like that, and with an embarrassing movement, he froze in place.
Yangping Pass was lost Gou Jian's whole person was instantly shocked as if he had lost his soul, his brain was buzzing, and he was almost stupid.
He couldn't figure out why a few days ago, Zhang Ren also sent him good news, claiming to have broken the Wei army, and asked him to put a hundred hearts, even if the Wei army put on its wings, it would never want to cross the Yangping Pass.
But why was it that only a few days later, the impregnable Yangping Pass suddenly fell Moreover, only 2,000 soldiers and horses fled back, and even important ministers such as Huang Quan and Wang Fu died at the hands of Wei Jiangzhi.
"How did the pottery thief do it, why did it happen, why did it happen" Gou Jian, who woke up, suddenly roared angrily, slammed the chopsticks in his hand, and jumped up from the throne.
It's just that it doesn't matter if he jumps, he forgot that he had a wound on his buttocks, and immediately ripped the wound, accompanied by a heart-piercing pain, a warm current suddenly overflowed on his buttocks, and a blood stain was reflected on his pants.
Gou Jian screamed in pain, grinned and sat down again, and as soon as his buttocks sat down, he was so painful that he could only hunch over and half-lie on the desk.
In the main hall, there was a sudden panic.
At this time, the soldiers hurriedly entered, reporting that Zhang Ren and several other generals of the defeated army were waiting outside the hall.
Gou Jian didn't have time to think about it, he endured the pain and waved his hand, and the order was passed in.
A moment later, Zhang Ren, Fa Zheng, Li Yan, Yan Yan, and Wang Ping walked into the hall gloomily and knelt down in front of Gou Jian with a guilty face.
"You say, why is it for Yangping Pass, why" Gou Jian yelled at them in annoyance.
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Zhang Ren, as the commander of the entire army in Yangpingguan, at this time, he naturally had to bear the responsibility for this failure.
Zhang Ren secretly took a breath, had to bow his hand, and said in a deep voice: "King Yu, Yangping Pass is impregnable, but the previous pottery thieves attacked Dingjun Mountain, and the minister divided 5,000 soldiers and horses, let Yan Yan and Huang Quan go to capture Dingjun Mountain, who expected them to be defeated by Wei General Han Xin, Wei army followed after the defeat, and took the opportunity to enter Yangping Pass from the east, and the pottery thief responded with the main force to attack from the west, and the ministers were defeated in battle, so they lost the Guancheng. ” Although Zhang Ren's words are true, he is suspected of putting the responsibility on Yan Yan and the dead Huang Quan.
Sure enough, Gou Jian's eyes immediately glared at Yan Yan again, and shouted: "Yan Yan, what's the matter with you, does that Han Xin have three heads and six arms, why do you also lose to him?"
Yan Yanzi would not take responsibility, and immediately said: "King Yu, in the battle of Dingjun Mountain, Huang Quan is the main general, and it was he who fell into Han Xin's ambush plan, which ultimately led to the loss of Yangping Pass."
The minister was only on his orders to guard the east camp, and when he learned that Yangping Pass was in danger, he immediately led the army to the rescue, but he didn't want to be too late, and he ran into Zhang Ren and a few people who escaped. ” Yan Yan told the truth, and Gou Jian's angry eyes suddenly turned to Zhang Ren again, and asked: "Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren, you are really confused, Huang Quan is just a civil official, why did you send him to lead the troops to fight?"
"King, minister" Zhang Ren was dumbfounded, his face was embarrassed and blushing, and he was speechless.
"King, the matter has come to this, now is not the time to blame anyone, the potters have won Yangping Pass, will be the army all the way east, straight to Nanzheng, now at this time, we should unite as one, to resist foreign enemies."
Fa Zheng persuaded.
At this point, Fa Zheng didn't care about falling into the well, and it was rare to speak for Zhang Ren.
"Resist foreign enemies, how to resist" Gou Jian smiled bitterly, weak and tired: "The 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yangping Pass have been defeated by you, and the total number of troops at hand is only 5,000 at the moment, and there is no danger to defend west of Nanzheng, how can you resist the attack of the pottery thief" In the lobby, there was a deathly silence, and everyone was silent.
They already have a strong feeling in their hearts that the national fortunes of the Great Shu Kingdom have come to an end, and all they can do now is to wait for death.
Yangping Pass is gone, what resistance is there, just rely on 5,000 remnants of soldiers, on the field of the Hanzhong Plain, to deal with hundreds of thousands of Wei troops I'm afraid that even if Mrs.
Jiang goes down to earth, he won't be able to do it.

Gou Jian sighed bitterly, Fa Zheng was also speechless, Zhang Ren and Li Yan were even more silent, and Wang Ping and Yan Yan also shook their heads and sighed.
A breath of death circulated wildly among the monarchs and ministers of the Shu Kingdom.
"Our Great Shu Kingdom has not yet reached the time of destruction" Suddenly, a loud shout rang out outside the temple gate, breaking the deathly silence.
Everyone moved, raised their eyes, and saw that the person who walked into the hall with his head held high was actually Zhang Song.
"Zhang Zhang Yongnian" Gou Jian shouted his name tremblingly in his mouth, and there seemed to be a glimmer of hope in his eyes for a moment.
In front of Zhang Song's big stride, he arched his hand and said: "King, Cao Cao led 80,000 Wei troops and is about to arrive at the south entrance of the valley. ” The Qin army arrived Gou Jian's eyes lit up in an instant, and the whole person became excited again, but in a blink of an eye, he shook his head and sighed bitterly: "Yangping Pass has been lost, Cao Cao arrived at this time, what's the use." ” "The king's words are wrong."
Zhang Song was busy cheering him up, "Although the Wei thief won the Yangping Pass, but his army fought all the way to victory, his heart will be arrogant, and Wei Dog has been fighting for a long time, his soldiers must be exhausted in energy and physical strength, while the Qin army is physically strong, this war confrontation, the outcome is not yet known." ” As soon as he spoke, the spirit of the Gou Jian locust was lifted, as if he saw a glimmer of hope.
At this moment, another pro-army outside the hall hurriedly entered, and arched his hand: "King Yu, the Wei army's vanguard has advanced from Yangping Guandong and killed me in Nanzheng, Chenggu City has surrendered without a fight, and the Wei army can kill under Nanzheng City in only two days at most." ” Thundered Another thunderbolt slammed into Gou Jian's head, causing him to be dizzy, staggering a few steps, and stumbling on the throne.
It didn't matter if he sat down, he touched the injury on his ass again, and he grinned in pain again, and jumped up again.
Gou Jian didn't care about the pain, and asked with a bitter face: "How long will it take for Cao Cao's army to reach Nanzheng?"
Zhang Song pinched his fingers and calculated, and replied: "Although Cao Cao's army is close to the mouth of the Nangu, it has not yet arrived after all, and the road to the valley is difficult to travel, and if the Qin army wants to reach Nanzheng, I am afraid that it will take at least three days." ” "Three days" Gou Jian exclaimed, "When Cao Cao arrives, I'm afraid that Nanzheng has already been attacked by the pottery thief, and this king has already been killed by the pottery thief, what is the use of him coming?"
In the lobby, there was silence again, and even Zhang Song didn't know what to do.
In silence, Fa Zheng sighed and arched his hand: "King, so far, I can only temporarily abandon Nanzheng City and rush to the mouth of the valley to meet the Qin army." ” Gou Jian's figure was immediately shocked, and his eyes showed surprise, as if he couldn't believe that Fa Zheng would make such a proposal.
Zhang Ren said even more anxiously: "If the king abandons Nanzheng and goes to Cao Cao, if Cao Cao has a bad idea and wants to swallow us, how can we resist with the strength we have."
Gou Jian's brows were dark, obviously the worry Zhang Ren raised was also the scruple in his heart.
Fa Zheng sighed again and said with a wry smile: "Of course I know the danger here, but General Zhang, tell me, in addition to this method, do you have any other methods, do you still have the confidence to defend Nanzheng City with 5,000 soldiers and horses as the king?"
"I" Zhang Ren was choked and speechless.
The subtext of Fa Zheng is naturally that you can't even defend Yangping Pass, let alone Nanzheng City, staying in Nanzheng can only be a dead end.
In the lobby, there was silence again.
Gou Jian supported the stump and stepped down from the front of the hall, slowly walking, with a painful and unwilling expression on his face, his eyes were complicated, and he was obviously engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
After hesitating for a long time and weighing for a long time, Gou Jian had to grit his teeth and sigh helplessly: "Fa Xiao is blunt and reasonable, and now this king has no choice, going to meet Cao Cao still has a trace of life, staying here can only be a dead end" Gou Jian's mind has been decided, although Zhang Ren has objections, but because there is no way to break the situation, he has to shake his head and sigh, and dare not oppose again.
At that moment, Gou Jian ordered to abandon Nanzheng City, and took the remaining 5,000 soldiers and horses to the south entrance of the valley to meet Cao Cao. isjgy:
