Chapter 297 Fear

Liu Feng appointed Li Yan as the vanguard on the spot, which somewhat surprised the generals.

After all, Li Yan is just a new general. In this way, many people will feel uneasy.

Liu Feng did not worry at all. You know, what he is best at is to dare to use generals. Except for Wei Yanchen, almost all the generals under his command are generals, and even Huang Zhong is no exception.

Liu Feng is very accurate to people's hearts. If Li Yan wants to take the opportunity to betray himself, he will not present such an important pass as Wuguan.

What's more, Wu Guan has arrived. Liu Feng's 100,000 troops can enter Guanzhong smoothly. Even if Li Yanlin betrays him, he still can't change the forerunner of Liu Bei's demise.

Li Yan is not that stupid.

It turns out that the worries of the generals are superfluous, and everything is under control.

Li Yan rode 5,000 steps and marched west along Danshui in the starry night, all the way to Keshang County and Shangluo. After crossing the Zhongling Mountain, the soldiers went straight to Lantian County.

Lantian County is located in the southwest of Chang'an, only more than 30 miles away from Chang'an City. As soon as the city falls, the last barrier of Chang'an City will collapse.

However, right here, Li Yan had to stop his progress, because Liu Bei's reinforcements had arrived.

A few days ago, when Liu Bei received Li Yan's 100,000 urgent letters for help, he was shocked to realize that he had once again been tricked by Liu Feng. That hateful boy was really insidious, and his ultimate goal would be Wu Guan.

When he woke up, Liu Bei urgently transferred people from Pubanjin and Tongguan, and ordered to transfer all the troops to Qinling Valley. He gathered nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses to rush to Wuguan all night.

However, while Liu Bei was still on his way from Tongguan to Wuguan, Li Yan surrendered to Liu Feng, and the news that Wuguan's failure gave him another heavy blow.

Liu Bei, who was furious, had to speed up the march and try to rush to the front line of Luoshang County before Liu Feng's army advanced into the customs. Although these two counties are not as dangerous as Wuguan, at least there are still dangers to defend. As long as they can arrive in time, there is still hope to block Liu Feng's army's westward advance.

However, what made Liu Bei so angry that Li Yan not only betrayed himself, but also acted as Liu Feng's vanguard. Using his identity as the front-line commander of Wuguan, he forced the generals of Shangluo and Shangxian County without blood.

When Liu Bei's 40,000 soldiers and horses hurried to Lantian, Li Yanjun had entered the vast Guanzhong Plain, and a large number of Liu Fengjuns would follow.

In Guanzhong, there is no danger to defend.

Liu tried to rely on a short-term military advantage to defeat Li Yan's regiment first, and then seize the Zhongling Mountain. According to the mountain pass, he used the only remaining terrain to defend Liu Feng's army.

Li Yan was very smart. He knew very well that he was not Liu Bei's opponent, so after detecting the enemy's situation in Lantian, he decisively retreated for dozens of miles and rushed down the area of Zhongling Mountain to wait for Liu Feng's backup.

Unable to attack, he was still confident in defending Li Yan. He used 5,000 soldiers and horses to resist the attack of Liu Bei's 40,000 troops for two days.

After two days, the reinforcements led by Liu Feng came one after another.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Liu Bei had to retreat to Lantian. Forty thousand soldiers and horses camped east of Lantian, forming a horn with the city.

Liu Feng's 100,000 soldiers and horses crossed the Zongling Mountains one after another, and slowly approached Lantian. A few days later, 100,000 military battalions were several miles, forming a force of pressure on Liu Bei.

After the camp was completed, Liu Feng wrote a letter of war and wanted to make an appointment with Liu Bei.

Lantian Daying, when Liu Bei looked at the challenge book, his hands trembled slightly.

Indignation, regret, shame... At this time, Liu Bei can't say what his mood is, but one thing he can be sure of is fear.

This is the first time in so many years that he is afraid of Liu Feng.

Even if he was trapped in Yizhou and homeless, even if Hanoi was defeated and almost did not escape from heaven, Liu Bei was never afraid.

Because Liu Bei firmly believes that the rampant of the villain is only a momentary scenery, and he is not his opponent after all.

But now, when Liu Feng's 100,000 troops were at the door of his home, and the mouth of the blood basin had been opened, intending to swallow his last place of return, Liu Bei could no longer control the self-deceptive self-confidence.

He is afraid, he is deeply afraid.

In his mind, it seemed that the scene of his defeat and capture had emerged. At that time, how would he face Liu Feng's high eyes.

Between the forehead, cold sweat rolled down quietly.

The dead silence in the account was silent, and all the generals were silent. Even the law, who had always been self-pretentious, was silent at this moment.

At this point, it can no longer be recovered by human wisdom, and there is nothing he can do.

"Liu Feng has issued a challenge. What do you think?"

After a long silence, Liu Bei asked feebly.

"The enemy is strong and we are weak, and it is difficult to fight with one. In my opinion, if you don't abandon Chang'an, the army will retreat to Liangzhou. In the future, with the help of Qianghu, it may rise again."

After a long time, Fa Zheng finally opened his mouth, but there was not much confidence in his tone.

Liu Bei did not respond. He rejected Fa Zheng's suggestion with silence.

It's no wonder that Liangzhou is already a remote place. The Qiang Hus helped him Liu Bei before. It was to see the princes on his side and have benefits for them.

If he abandons the customs now, then Liu Bei will have no use value for the Qiang people who are forgetful. At that time, these barbarians will only abandon him for profit.

If you retreat to Liangzhou, you will only die more miserably. Moreover, from ancient times to the present, there is no way to compete with the whole world with the land of one state.

The atmosphere in the account became more and more desolate, as if everyone's fighting spirit was fading.

At this time, Ma Chao suddenly stood up and said harshly, "You are all bloody men. At worst, you just die in battle. Why are you so depressed?"

Ma Chao tried to use such an exciting tone to boost the morale of the generals, but the effect was obviously not good. On the faces of the generals, the fighting spirit was still passing rapidly.

It's Liu Bei, but his spirit is slightly refreshed.

He looked at Ma Chao and asked, "Meng Qi is so proud that he has a way to break the enemy?"

Ma Chao snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Although Liu Feng has 100,000 soldiers and horses, he has a fatal weakness. In my opinion, we may not be able to win."

This sentence really moved Liu Bei's heart and hurriedly asked, "Meng Qi continues to speak."

Ma Chao continued: "The Wuguan area is unfavorable for riding, so although Liu Feng has 100,000 soldiers here, the cavalry is less than 3,000. I have 10,000 Xiliang Iron Horses under my command. As long as it can be used properly, it is not impossible to destroy Liu Feng's 100,000 troops."

Xiliang Iron Ride! Yes, I still have 10,000 iron riders.

Ma Chao's words were like giving Liu Bei an injection of chicken blood. The gray face flashed with a little brilliance in an instant.
