Jingzhou, Wuling County.
Hanshou City.
This is a gateway city of Wuling County to contact Nanjun, the city is not large, but the geographical location is very important, located in the northeast of Wuling Zhicheng.
If you want to capture Wuling County, this is a must-pass city.
However, now flying at the head of Hanshou City is a black dragon battle flag representing Cao Wei.
In control of the city were more than 6,000 remnants of Zhang Hecao Zhen.
After Zhang He burned Jiangling Cang, he did not give up, and led the cavalry directly to the south in one go, directly attacking Wuling Cang, the largest support granary of the Wu army's western expedition.
As long as the Wuling granary is burned, no matter how strong the Wu army is, it can only stop the offensive in the end, and even retreat to the land of Bashu.
Since ancient times, the three armies have not moved, grain and grass go first, and many large-scale battles have been withdrawn because of insufficient food supply.
It's a pity that Zhang He's good idea was ruined by a person named Fa Zheng.
Before this, Fa Zheng was not famous, but after this, Zhang He remembered him as a person.
Fa is the Wuling County Guard, ordered to guard the granary, his troops are not much, two regiments are less than 6,000, but with the advantage of the terrain, not only blocked him, but also counterattacked three battles, three battles and three victories, a total of more than 3,000 cavalry under his command.
Zhang He was killed and wounded in the capture of Jiangling Cang, but now he was almost disabled by Fa Zheng in one go.
In desperation, Zhang He could only derive the intention of retreating, but it was easy to come in, but it was not so easy to quit.
After all, in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, the Wu army still has a division of troops, although they guard Xiangyang, deter Zhang Xiu in the north, and can't take the initiative to attack, but as long as they block the road on the first line of Hanzhong, they can block him in Jingzhou.
And Zhang He couldn't wait at this time, the Jiangling warehouse he burned naturally had enough grain and grass, but he hit it suddenly.
Once he was relieved by the Wu army, he didn't need to return to the defense of the Western Expeditionary Army, and only Jiangdong Laolai could squeeze out enough troops to surround him.
So whether it's fighting, or retreating.
Be quick.
Now that he has occupied Hanshou City for three days, he still has not been able to come up with a safe route to retreat.
In Hanshou Dongcheng, in a large school camp, the captains and generals looked at the marching map of Jingzhou with solemn expressions, constantly looking for a safe route to retreat.
"General.
Let's go back the way we came," a lieutenant said: "This is the most convenient and safest way, although the Wu army is vigilant, but their troops are not enough to block the whole line, we have a chance to break out" "What if Tai Shi Ci gives up on Shinno, what are we going to do?"
someone asked.
"Probably not, didn't they even care about Jingzhou in order to besiege and kill us?"
"It's hard to say, we burned down the Gangneung granary, how angry the Wu people were.
It's all clear."
The generals said a word to me, but they never found a safe way to retreat.
"Report" outside the camp, a loud shout.
"Come in" Zhang He raised his head, his eyes moved, and he called out in a deep voice.
"Report to the general, just now the ghost pawn came to the news, the general of the Wu army, Gan Ning, has led his troops north to Hanzhong, joined Zhao Zilong Xuezhou, and captured Hanzhong Shangyong, Fangling, Xicheng and other cities.
General Cao Xiu retreated to Yangping Pass, and most of the territory of Hanzhong has been lost" "Bang" Zhang He looked furious, and directly smashed it down with a punch, smashing the council book in front of him to smithereens.
Coldly shouted: "What a Wu army, they actually want to cut off my Zhang He's last retreat and leave me in Jingzhou, I tell you, you can't do it" The last path was blocked, but he was angry but not desperate.
On the contrary, it strengthened his determination to fight his way out of the encirclement.
"General, since we have no way out, we can only let go and fight, take the most difficult road, enter Yuzhou from Jiangxia, although there must be obstacles on the way, but we are cavalry, as long as we are fast, we can fight our way out of the encirclement" Cao Zhen said firmly.
This is also a road, but it is very long, it is also difficult, and if they face sniping, they may be wiped out, but now it is also the best path for them Because the forces of the Flying Tiger Army are all on the west side, the east side is somewhat empty.
"Good" Zhang He also strengthened his determination, and his words became resolute: "Cao Zhen, you personally lead two thousand elite soldiers, go forward and open the way, enter Shaxian City from Zhouling City, go straight to Xiling, and then go north from Xiling. ” "What about the general?"
"I can't just leave, I'm unwilling, I have to take advantage of the opportunity to retreat from the army to fight, besides, if I don't beat Fa Zheng for a round, this dog skin plaster, if you don't take it off, let him pester us like this, we can only be consumed by him, remember, you don't enter any city along the way, bring enough dry food, we have to get out of Jingzhou in one go, don't wait for a trace of stay" Zhang He's eyes were deep, and a cold light was condensed in his eyes, if he could lead Fa Zheng out, he still had a chance to burn Wuling Cang.
"Understood" Cao Zhen was silent for a moment and nodded, indicating that he received the order.
In the southwest of Hanshou City, next to the official road of Wuling, there is a small town surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, this is the location of the Wuling granary, after the construction of the Ministry of Industry, like a small castle.
Fa Zheng stood at the head of the city, looking in the direction of Hanshou, his eyes were cold: "What is Zhang He's doing?"
"Report to the county guard, he seems to be fleeing" A scout company commander stepped up from behind him and said.
"What" Fa Zheng looked solemn: "Are you sure?"
"According to our scout's report, his vanguard soldiers and horses have left Hanshou City and are heading northeast, and his subordinates believe that he is afraid that he will break through from the direction of Jiangxia."
The scout company commander replied.

"I want to run" Fa Zheng sneered: "It's a little too late, if I can't leave you in Jingzhou, I'm sorry for the Logistics Department, come here, pass on my military order, and let the head of Mutuo and Feng Wei immediately beat the drum and gather the troops, and go out of the city to fight" "Yes" A personal guard immediately went to deliver the military order of Fa Zheng.
Half an hour later, Fa Zheng personally led the troops out of the Wuling granary, and he commanded two regiments, one was the Wuxi Man Left-behind Corps, and the other was the regiment guarding the Wuling Granary, adding up to about 5,000 soldiers and horses.
An hour later, the battle started on the outskirts of Hanshou City, and Fazheng's soldiers and horses had not yet arrived in Hanshou City.
It encountered a fierce impact from Zhang He's cavalry.
"Fazheng, it's really not easy to lure you out, now that you've come out, today is your time of death.
Sons, kill "Zhang He opened and closed and killed one Wu army soldier after another.
He was a cavalryman, and it was not suitable for siege, but on the plains, even if he faced more than five times as many foot soldiers.
He can also charge and kill.
"I knew that you Zhang He didn't admit defeat so easily" Fa Zheng did not have a trace of panic, he was as stable as Si, and with a sneer, he directly commanded the soldiers of a company, and shouted: "Go and pull out the ballista, let these cavalry taste the latest sharp weapon produced by our Great Wu Ministry of Industry, the twelve consecutive strong crossbow beds, if you don't leave this cavalry, my Fa Zheng is unwilling."
"No" Wuling Cang is the largest logistics granary of the Western Expedition, with all kinds of large ballistas.
Dozens of ballistas were pushed out, facing Zhang He's cavalry.
"Damn, it turns out that he was prepared, I was still fooled" Zhang He looked at it, his face turned pale instantly, he was calculating Fazheng at the same time, he was also calculated by Fazheng.
"Put" Fa Zheng gave an order, bows and arrows were like rain, and one by one Cao Wei cavalrymen turned on their backs, facing a strong crossbow sniper.
The cavalry couldn't bear it.
"Go" Zhang He was helpless, and when he left, he wanted to bargain, but he didn't expect that greed made Fa Zheng seize the opportunity, but he was also decisive.
Since there was no hope, he gave up immediately and left the battlefield with the powerful mobility of the cavalry: "Sons, withdraw immediately, I will cut off the rear" The cavalry was supposed to come and go like the wind, leaving behind thousands of corpses.
Thousands of cavalry under Zhang He successfully escaped the pursuit of the Wu army, and Fa Zheng did not dare to kill too much, after all, he was a foot soldier, and it was very unwise to chase and kill the cavalry.
"Whew" Fa Zheng looked at Zhang He, who was walking away, and spit out a breath of unwilling turbidity: "At this time, if I have a cavalry, I can definitely leave them all behind."
It's a pity that now the cavalry is in the midst of the Western Expedition.
"Lord County Guard, why don't I lead the troops to chase and kill, after all, this is Jingzhou, there are many rivers in Jingzhou, and the cavalry is not easy to walk, maybe I can catch up" Wuxi Barbarian Mu Tuo saw Fa Zheng's unwillingness, and suggested in a low voice.
"No, all the people under your command are foot soldiers, if you chase and kill in the mountains and forests, it is a good thing, in the face of cavalry, two legs can't catch up with four legs, and it's in vain to catch up."
Fa Zheng was very calm in his heart, shook his head, and his eyes flashed a meaningful light: "Even if he is allowed to escape from Wuling, he may not be able to leave Jingzhou."
If Zhang He really thought that Jingzhou was so easy to get in and out, he would have planted a big heel and even left his life here. and state.
Jinyang City.
Outside the city is dense Cao Wei soldiers and horses surrounded the city gate, the leader is the Wei army general Cao Hong, the military division is Tian Feng, the number of soldiers and horses under their command is nearly 100,000, menacing, the siege has been ten days.
Naturally, some people in the city were terrified.
Above the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, Guan Jingpan, the governor of the state, sat in the first place, Huang Zhong, the chief of the blood wolf, sat in the second position on the left, and Pang Tong, the chief of staff, sat in the second place on the right.
The atmosphere in the lobby was a little depressing, and Guan Jing's face was as cold as ice.
"Just tell me, can you keep this Jinyang City" Guan Jing's figure was very straightforward, he stared at Huang Zhong, hoping that he could give an answer.
"With my current strength, in a month's time, Jinyang City will definitely be breached, less than two divisions, I am not sure to block Cao Hong's 100,000 army" Huang Zhong shook his head: "Unless we transfer troops from Yanmen to the south" "Now we have just stabilized the Xiongnu and Xianbei, at this time to transfer troops to the south, the battle in front of us is equivalent to in vain" Pang Tong said quietly.
"Then what do you mean, give up Taiyuan" Guan Jing's eyes were cold, staring at the two of them, he finally straightened out Taiyuan, and asked him to give up, but he couldn't do it.
Huang Zhong and Pang Tong were silent for a long time, and they were unwilling, but now the Blood Wolf Army can't afford to fight a big battle at all, if they forcibly transfer troops south, it will not be a problem in Taiyuan, and the entire Bingzhou will be in turmoil.
"Newspaper," a voice came from outside at this time.
"Come in" "Report to the Governor, Youzhou Urgent" "Reading" "Three days ago, the Wei army went north, and the general Ban personally led the troops and successively attacked Fanyang.
Therefore, he went straight to Zhuo County, Youzhou was empty, and asked the Blood Wolf Army to come back for help.
Zhuge Jin" The herald read out the urgent message from the flying pigeon in one breath.
After Guan Jing was dispatched and annexed to the state, the Youzhou Governor's Mansion had begun to be withdrawn, but in order to complete the final transition, Zhuge Jin still stayed in Youzhou and controlled the government affairs of Youzhou.
"Damn it" Huang Zhong was furious: "This Cao Wei can't start an all-out war" "He wanted to take advantage of our westward expedition.
Go all out to take the north" Pang Tong's face was also a little blue: "The timing is really good, now is the time when our troops are the weakest" The vitality of the Blood Wolf Army has not recovered, and most of the main forces of the Wild Lion Army in the Northeast have been transferred south, which can only protect the territory and the people, and cannot be reinforced, and the entire northern Xinjiang is very empty.
At this time, the Wei army came in, and the timing was too precise for them to resist.
"You can't lose it," Guan Jing said through gritted teeth.
"There is also an independent mixed division in Youzhou" Pang Tong thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "It shouldn't be so easy to lose" "Zhang Yan's independent mixed division is indeed very strong in combat, but if Cao Wei's Jizhou battalion comes out.
I'm afraid he won't be able to stop him."
Huang Zhong's eyes were a little worried.
"They don't necessarily want to take Youzhou, after all, Youzhou is not a merger, and our Dawu has a deep foundation in Youzhou, even if we lose it, it will be enough for us to get it back in a short time."

Pang Tong's eyes flashed with a hint of wisdom: "And I'm more inclined, they just want to use the feint to attack Youzhou, force us to send reinforcements, and then seize the state."
"But do you dare to bet on this?"
Guan Jing looked at Pang Tong and asked rhetorically: "Ten merger states are not as good as one Youzhou, and we can lose merge states."
It doesn't matter if even the previous achievements are abandoned, but if there is a little mistake in Youzhou, the foundation of our Great Wu in the north will be destroyed, and how much energy, financial and manpower Your Majesty has invested in the north for so many years.
If there is a problem in the north, who of us has the face to go to your majesty" "Guan Dudu is right, we can't afford to gamble on this, even if we are 99% sure that they are just feints, we also want reinforcements, Youzhou is our Great Wu.
It's so important."
Huang Zhong nodded and said.
"But the troops are already insufficient, where do we draw the troops" Pang Tong smiled bitterly, he didn't know, but this stage was the most difficult stage of the Blood Wolf Army, in the last big battle, they had not breathed a sigh of relief, and all the soldiers and horses were resting.
"Give up Taiyuan" After half a ring, Huang Zhong spit out a sentence: "Exchange space for time, the main thing is that we can relieve this breath, and within three months, we will be able to make a comeback."
"We paid so many casualties back then to take Taiyuan and take the state, and now we have begun to invest in the construction of the Hetao, and I am not willing to give up Taiyuan at this time," Pang Tong said.
"This is a strategic retreat," Huang Zhong said silently.
"It's a good thing to say, but in the end, isn't it just running for your life" Guan Jing was also unwilling, and said: "Your Majesty was in order to merge the state, but there was a lot of bleeding, and giving up Taiyuan at this time is equivalent to giving up half of the territory of the state, how do we face Your Majesty?"
"Why don't we get in touch with Ma Chao and use our strength to fight" Pang Tong proposed: "Maybe we can save a certain situation" "Huh" When Huang Zhong heard this, he shook his head and smiled a little sarcastically: "Ma Chao is also difficult to protect himself, now that the war in Xiliang has started, do you know who Cao Wei's vanguard is?"
"Say" "Pound" "Pang Lingming" Pang Tong gasped: "It seems that Cao Wei is determined to win Xiliang, even Pang De has moved out, even if Ma Chao has three heads and six arms, he will be defeated" Pang De may not be Ma Chao's opponent, but his influence in the Xiliang Army is no less than that of Ma Chao.
In the lobby, all three of them fell silent all at once.
"Retreat to Taiyuan" Huang Zhong made a decision, he stood up and said: "When the interruption continues, Fang suffers from its chaos, unwilling, unwilling, it can't be an excuse for us to be irrational, I don't want to fight this battle in Taiyuan, the court blames it, I will personally carry it" After finishing speaking, he looked at Guan Jing: "Guan Dudu, I will give you three days to retreat, the people, property, weapons, and food of Jinyang City, how much can you move, and after three days, I will personally lead the troops north to Yanmen."
