The army at Mianzhu Pass was divided into two groups.
Wang Can led his troops south and went straight to Chengdu; Yan Yan led his troops north and rushed to Bachuan quickly, preparing to deal with Lingbao.
Liu Yan sent three armies to attack Hanzhong.
After the other two armies were wiped out, only Lingbao led the army to resist.
During the battle against Deng Zheng, Lingbao relied on supplies from nearby cities, fought steadily, and continuously retreated.
When the army retreated, Lingbao received Zhao Wei's order and prepared to return to Chengdu.
Lingbao wanted to leave, but the army led by Deng Zheng stuck to Lingbao like a plaster, making it impossible for him to escape.
Lingbao led the army and settled in Bachuan, relying on supplies and grain support from Bachuan County to confront Deng Zheng.
After Deng Zheng killed Pang Xi, he did not take any other measures.
He only tried to force Lingbao step by step.
There was no major war between the two sides, but there was an undercurrent.
Both Deng Zheng and Lingbao are waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to completely eliminate the other party.
Both sides were cautious, and every step they took was extremely cautious, leaving no loopholes.
Because of this, the battle between Deng Zheng and Lingbao continues to this day.
Outside Bachuan City, Yizhou Military Camp.
As Deng Zheng pressed forward step by step, Lingbao did not retreat into the city for fear of being surrounded by Deng Zheng.
At the same time, the magistrate of Bachuan County did not allow Lingbao to lead the army into the city, because once Lingbao led the army into Bachuan City, he would link the fate of Bachuan County to Lingbao, making the Bachuan County Magistrate lose his footing and unable to make his own decisions. .
As long as Lingbao does not enter the city, the Bachuan County magistrate can surrender to Wang Can at any time and become Wang Can's subordinate.
In the big tent, Lingbao looked solemn, with a worried look on his weathered face.
Below, Deng Xian sat cross-legged, also looking worried, sighing, and shrugging his head, without any energy.
Due to the uncooperation of the Bachuan County Magistrate, even though Lingbao relied on Bachuan, the grain and grass supplied by Bachuan were no longer enough to support the more than 10,000 mouths of Lingbao's command.
This situation left Lingbao with no strategy but no platform to display his talents.
Although Lingbao and Deng Zheng were in a confrontation and could face Deng Zheng without defeat, without food support or weapons and equipment, he was too clever to make a living without rice and could not lead his soldiers to charge with bare hands.
"Deng Xian, the army has enough food to last for a few days."
Lingbao thought for a long time, opened his slightly squinted eyes, and asked.
Deng Xian said: "General, there are only four days of food left in the camp.
After four days of food supply, the army may mutiny.
Hey, this is why the Bachuan County magistrate actually deducted our food.
In addition, old thief Deng He calculated the time correctly, took advantage of our lack of food and grass, and avoided fighting, but followed closely behind, making it difficult for us to get rid of the Hanzhong Army. " Deng Xian looked indignant and continued: "General, instead of passively suffering death, it is better to take the initiative.
The autumn night is thick now, the moonlight is very light at night, and the sky is dark.
As long as the night becomes thicker, the general will lead the army to attack and make a sneak attack.
Deng Zheng, maybe we can still win.”
Lingbao looked coldly and said, "Deng Xian, have you forgotten how Pang Xi died?"
"ah" After hearing this, Deng Xian let out a low cry, and a pale look quickly appeared on his face.
For Deng Xian, Pang Xi's death was indeed unforgettable for Deng Xian, because when he was ambushed by Deng Zheng, the situation was tragic and Deng Zheng was horrified by it.
If Deng Xian had not chosen to break out with Lingbao and barely escaped, the result would have been the same as Pang Xi, Gao Pei, and Yang Huai, whose heads were beheaded by Deng Zheng, which became Deng Zheng's military exploits.
Deng Xian had always been afraid of Deng Zheng, but now that Lingbao reminded him, a touch of fear immediately arose in his heart.
A man who is too old to die is a thief.
Deng Zheng is very cunning.
The camp must be well defended and will not be easily attacked.
After a long silence, Deng Xian said: "General, the army is short of food, but we cannot take the initiative to attack.
In a few days, we will have to fight on an empty stomach.
Does it mean that the general has a countermeasure?"
At this point, Deng Xian stared at Ling.
Bao asked: "General, what are your plans?"

Lingbao sighed and said: "We can only forcefully retreat.
The current situation is that we have to retreat.
Even if we are caught up by Deng Zheng and lose part of the army, we must retreat."
"Why" Deng Xian was a little confused.
All along, Lingbao wanted to defeat Deng Zheng and lead an army to march straight in and attack Nanzheng.
Now Liangbao suddenly gave up the idea of defeating Deng Zheng, which made Deng Xian a little stunned.
However, Deng Xian was more happy in his heart.
As long as Lingbao led the army to retreat, even if he was chased and beaten by Deng Zheng, killing and wounding many soldiers, as long as he could get rid of Deng Zheng and return to Chengdu.
Lingbao sighed, spread his hands helplessly and said: "Deng Xian, I have no choice but to lead the army to retreat.
The situation is critical now.
Firstly, there is not enough food, grass and weapons to support it.
Secondly, Wang Can leads the army to approach Chengdu.
Zhao Wei couldn't hold on anymore and asked me to lead his troops back and garrisoned in Chengdu.
Now everything is going against us."
Deng Xian rolled his eyes and said, "If this were the case, Deng Zheng would never let us lead the troops to retreat."
Lingbao nodded and said, "That's why I said that we must retreat even if we lose part of our army."
At this point, both of them remained silent.
Outside the big tent, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps, and the curtain of the tent was rolled up, and a scribe in Tsing Yi walked in.
This man was Pang Xi's staff adviser.
After Pang Xi's death, the scholar in Tsing Yi worked with Lingbao, and now he has become Lingbao's right-hand man and confidant.
The scribe in green came in with a respectful expression and said with cupped hands: "General, we just received news from the scouts that Yan Yan is leading the army north, only ten miles away from the camp."
"Hiss!"
Lingbao took a deep breath and said, "Let's find out more news."
The invasion led by Yan Yan was definitely not a good thing for Lingbao.
Otherwise, more than 10,000 troops under Lingbao's command would have to stay in Bachuan and would not be able to return to Chengdu.
"promise" The scholar in Tsing Yi cupped his hands and turned to leave.
Half an hour later, the scholar in Tsing Yi returned to the camp again, raised his hands and said: "General, Yan Yan led the troops to camp five miles outside the camp and stay.
More importantly, the place where Yan Yan is stationed is very important.
It is where we withdraw."
On the way to Chengdu, if the general leads his troops to retreat, he will inevitably have to fight a tough battle with Yan Yan.
Only by defeating Yan Yan can he have a way out. " Lingbao waved his hand and dismissed the Tsing Yi scribe.
Seeing this, Deng Xian said: "General, what should I do if Yan Yan blocks the way?"
Lingbao looked solemn and said: "Yan Yan is no better than the old fox Deng Zheng.
Yan Yan is younger, and he is both civil and military.
His martial arts are extremely high.
Yan Yan alone can easily kill the two of us.
As long as Yan Yan is there Leading troops to station, We wouldn't be able to return to Chengdu.
If we had known this, we shouldn't have fought with Deng Zheng.
Now the way back is cut off by Yan Yan, and there is an army led by Deng Zheng in pursuit.
It can be said that there are wolves in front and tigers and leopards behind. , it’s a headache.”
Just as Lingbao finished speaking, there were hurried footsteps coming from outside the tent.
A soldier ran in and shouted: "Report" His tone was urgent, showing a sense of panic, and looking at the look on the soldier's face, he knew that something big had happened again.
Seeing the soldiers in a hurry, Lingbao felt irritated and couldn't help but scolded: "It's unbecoming to be in such a hurry.
If you encounter anything, tell it carefully and clearly."
The soldier said: "General, Yan Yan came to the camp alone with an entourage and is now waiting outside the camp."

"Why is Yan Yan coming?"
Lingbao suddenly stood up from his seat, his expression changed drastically.
"Huhu" Lingbao took a few deep breaths to calm down his impetuous mood, suddenly reached out and grabbed the sword placed next to the desk, hung it on his waist, and said: "Deng Xian, let's go, come with me and take a look.
"While speaking, Lingbao took a step forward and walked out of the camp.
Deng Xian pressed the handle of the knife and quickly followed Lingbao out of the camp and walked outside the camp.
Lingbao and Deng Xian came to the entrance of the camp and looked around.
They saw Yan Yan wearing a black robe and a leather jacket.
He did not wear armor or a helmet.
Behind Yan Yan, Yan Zhi stood solemnly, holding the large ring knife that Yan Yan carried with him, and followed behind Yan Yan.
"Yan Yan, the thief who betrayed the Lord, what are you doing here?"
Lingbao came outside the camp and suddenly shouted.
With an angry look on his face, he pulled out the sword from his waist with a clang and pointed it at Yan Yan.
Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers all held spears and stared at Yan Yan.
As long as Lingbao says a word, the soldiers will rush forward and kill Yan Yan.
Yan Yan smiled slightly and said: "General Ling, Yan is here for you today.
Could it be that the general asked Yan to speak here?"
"please" Seeing that Yan Yan was not afraid at all, Lingbao twitched the corner of his mouth twice and quickly sheathed the sword in his hand.
He did not order Yan Yan to be killed, but instead waved his hand and welcomed Yan Yan into the camp.
Yan Yan laughed twice, waved her hand and said: "Please" The two of them entered the camp hand in hand, and Yan Yan walked with his head held high.
The surrounding soldiers saw Yan Yan chatting and laughing happily, with an unchanging look on his face, and they all showed admiration.
There are not many people like Yan Yan who dare to rush into the enemy's camp alone.
Moreover, as the leader of an army, Yan Yan went deep into the Yizhou military camp.
He was already in danger.
Once Lingbao ordered the encirclement and killing Yan Yan, even though Yan Yan was highly skilled in martial arts, could not escape the siege of the Yizhou Army, and in the end he could only end up in despair.
Of course, things need to be treated separately.
Different situations have different ways of handling them.
Yan Yan entered the Lingbao camp alone and made up his mind after careful consideration.
Yan Yan once had an encounter with Ling Bao and knew Ling Bao's character.
Moreover, Yan Yan was once a general of the Yizhou Army.
With this relationship, Yan Yan dared to go into the tiger's den alone.
If it were Wang Can, he would have been surrounded by soldiers rushing up as soon as he entered the camp, whereas Yan Yan could easily enter the camp. s: One of three updates, please collect and send flowers
