Chapter 857 The Temporary Truce

In a short time, Ma Chao finally made a break and was about to chase. Hearing a sudden sound, Pound stood in front of Ma Chao with a knife. The lion's head machete suddenly emitted a shocking red light, and a red angry lion appeared on the blade. Ma Chao looked at it, that is, he also killed the lion's shooting method. The golden silver lion's tooth gun was like a beautiful silver light around the Taoist, and a white snake-tailed lion suddenly came out.

Between the lightning and flints, knives and guns suddenly collided. At the time of the collision, the two seemed to see in their eyes. The red angry lion opened its teeth and danced its claws, the white snake-tailed lion opened its huge mouth, and the two lions suddenly bit together.

With a loud bang, the brocade silver lion tooth gun and the lion's head machete braked away. The two pressed the momentum. Ma Chao roared angrily and stabbed Pang De's left shoulder with a shot. Pang De's red face was evil, and he tried his best to swung his knife to cut a dazzling firelight in Ma Chao's chest armor. Ma Chao flew dozens of meters with his horse. Pound's mount screamed and fell to the ground. Pound lost power and rolled to the ground. At this time, he was exhausted and didn't even have the strength to stand up. Several northwest generals hurried to protect Pound. As soon as Ma Chao retreated to the front, he was immediately surrounded and killed by soldiers and horses in the northwest.

Zhang Ren was fighting with Cheng Gongying on the other side. The two killed dozens of rounds. Zhang Ren was better than Cheng Gongying, but their martial arts were not the same. For a moment, Zhang Ren could not defeat Cheng Gongying quickly. Although Zhang Ren fought with Cheng Gongying, he had always paid attention to Wen Han. Seeing that Wen Han had escaped from danger, he was shocked and regretful.

Suddenly, a shocking scream came. It turned out that Zhao Yun led most of the soldiers and horses in the northwest to rush back to rescue. Seeing this, Zhang Ren suddenly fell into the ice abys. He thought that Liu Bei had been killed by Zhao Yun, so he immediately dared not fight hard, so he ordered the soldiers to evacuate quickly. The rear army of Xichuan retreated sharply, and suddenly the situation became chaotic. Zhang Ren urgently killed Kai Cheng Gongying and ordered all the generals to lead the troops away. The sergeant of Xichuan knew that the situation of the war was extremely high. If he fled half a step slowly, he would definitely die and fled everywhere. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ma Chao and Tai Shi Ci didn't care about chasing and killing Wen Han again, and quickly sacrificed their lives to escape.

Fortunately, the Northwest Army has been fighting for a long time, and all the soldiers and soldiers are exhausted. Just now, they fought bravely, but they persisted with a strong will. At present, the tense nerves loosened, and a strong sense of fatigue suddenly surged up. Wen Han also knew that the soldiers were tired, and he also understood the truth of poor pursuit. He did not order to cover up the Xichuan army and let a group of Xichuan soldiers and horses to escape.

At this point, the war on Dingjun Mountain has finally been lonely. Although the Northwest Army won a great victory, it paid a great price and lost the army full of food and fodder. No matter how many people there are, brave and elites, it is difficult to continue the war for a long time.

Wen Han rectified the soldiers and horses, so that the army retreated to an empty valley, created a camp, and rested for the time being. Zhao Yun came to find Wen Han in a hurry. Wen Han saw Zhao Yun coming, and his face was just happy, but suddenly he saw Zhao Yun get off the horse and kneel down.

Seeing this, Wen Han couldn't help frowning and secretly paying in his heart.

"Is it possible to escape another difficulty for Liu Da'er!!?"

As soon as Wen Han thought about it, he heard Zhao Yun tell the past one by one. When Wen Han heard it, Liu Bei was shocked that he actually rode a horse through a ten thousand feet of heaven with a foot of more than 200 meters. If it hadn't been for his deep knowledge of Zhao Yun's virtue and that he was an honest person, he would have thought that Zhao Yun was careless and deliberately used this ridiculous excuse to deceive him.

Wen Han's eyes were cold, and finally suppressed his heart and sighed.

"The life of the big-eared thief should not be killed. If you are blessed by God, it is true that God does not want to kill him. That's it, that's it!!!"

Li You was afraid that Wen Han would ignore the current situation and insisted on chasing and killing Liu Bei, and quickly gave up his hand to persuade him.

"Lord, at present, our army's military food can only last for three days. In addition, the soldiers have been tired for a long time, so we must not fight lightly. According to the excellent opinion, it should return to Anhan as soon as possible, and all counties in Dongchuan should urgently allocate grain as supplies. Moreover, the mobilization of food and fodder also takes half a month. The Lord just takes this half month as a buffer to give the soldiers rest, nourish their energy, and then seek the great cause of Shu.

As soon as Li You's voice fell, Cheng Gongying on the side also arched his hand.

"However, Dongchuan has been fighting repeatedly in recent years. The grain reserves in counties and counties are about to be exhausted. The grain and fodder that can be allocated can maintain the war of our army for half a month at most. In addition, according to Zhong Yu's return, there is little grain left in Yong and Liang. The lord should think of a complete plan within this half month to ensure that the war in Shu is foolproof. If you can break through the cute pass, it will be a big deal.

Xichuan is a place where money and grain are abundant. Our army can fight. First, the grain of Dongchuan, Yong and Liang is slowly maintained. When we break through all cities and counties in Xichuan and seize their grain and fodder, we can have no need for food and fodder. But if you can't break the dragonfly within half a month, the food and fodder will be exhausted. Within a year, the battle in Xichuan will be difficult to fight again!

"But fortunately, after a series of fierce battles with the Xichuan army, our army suffered a great loss. At the same time, Huang Zhong, a fierce general, was captured, and Yan Yan, the general of Xichuan, was also killed. The strength of his army is greatly damaged, and there is no reason for our army to overturn and attack immediately?

I also hope that the lord will follow the words of Li's wine, put the overall situation first, and withdraw the army for the time being.

Cheng Gongying and Li You sang together, analyzed the reason and the situation, and skillfully persuaded Wen Han to withdraw his troops. Wen Han naturally understood the truth and nodded and smiled brightly.

"What you said is very true. You should follow it."

Wen Han made a decision, so he ordered all the soldiers to rest for a day and withdraw their troops in the coming day. The soldiers in the northwest heard that the war had stopped, and their nervous nerves were finally relaxed, and they were all overjoyed.

The next day, the Northwest Army took a rest. Wen Han led a large part of the army to withdraw to Anhan first, while Zhao Yun led a small number of soldiers to stay behind to prevent Zhang Ren from attacking.

At the same time, in the Mengguan. Zhang Ren learned from Taishi Ci that yesterday, in order to successfully kill Wen Han, Liu Bei sent Tai Shici to help in the battle despite the danger. Zhang Ren was surprised and sighed at Liu Bei's benevolence. At the same time, he did not realize why an extremely bitter taste surged in his heart, as if he felt extremely guilty for not being able to kill Wen Han.

Liu Bei's life and death are uncertain. Hua Xiong, Tai Shici and other generals are extremely impatient. Wen Ping and Chen Shi have already led the army to explore the area of Dingjun Mountain. In the cute pass, it seems to be overshadowed because of Liu Bei's unexpected. Fa Zheng and Meng Da looked at each other silently and sighed in frustration.

Suddenly, a soldier came to report that Liu Bei had escaped and had been found by Wenren and Chen Shiren. Zhang Ren was overjoyed, and all the soldiers in Xichuan were also ecstatic. Zhang Ren hurried out of the battle building and led a group of Xichuan to wait in Guanxia.

When I was young, a gust of wind and dust rolled up outside the gate, and a team of people rushed over. Zhang Ren looked eagerly at the look, and gradually saw Liu Bei's figure. He immediately patted Liu Bei to welcome him. The Xichuan soldiers behind him also followed closely.

Liu Bei was in the right way. When he saw Zhang Ren's horse coming, he hurriedly stopped. Zhang Ren rushed to his horse, dismiss him, bowed his hand to Liu Bei, and worshipped with extreme guilt.

"Zhang Ren is incompetent!! It's a bad hope for the royal uncle!!"

Zhang Ren's move suddenly surprised everyone on the court. Zhang Ren has always been extremely disgusted with Liu Bei and has never had a good face, but now he is willing to lower his arrogant head and plead guilty to Liu Bei, which is really unexpected.

When Liu Bei saw Zhang Ren kneeling down, he was overjoyed and knew that his sacrifice of his life yesterday must have won Zhang Ren's respect. Liu Bei quickly got off the horse, picked up Zhang Ren, and said softly to Zhang Rang.

"Zhang Dudu doesn't have to blame himself. Wen Bofan's generals are brave and tough, and it is undoubtedly difficult to climb to the sky if they want to kill him. Fortunately, his army lost all his food and fodder, and it was difficult to continue the war. He must have withdrawn his troops at this time. At present, our army has lost soldiers and soldiers, and our strength has been greatly damaged. When we prepare quickly, we should prepare for a deep ditch and earth, and prepare extraordinary soldiers to make a comeback!"

What Liu Bei said is in line with Zhang Ren's heart. Zhang Ren nod his head and answered.

"What the uncle said is extremely true. At present, the crisis has not been eliminated, and we have to rely more on the emperor. In the past, Zhang had a lot of crimes. I hope my uncle has a lot of it. Don't mind.

"Hey! Gu Yi's words are bad! You are my brother Ji Yu, who sacrificed his life to defend this place and keep the peace of Yizhou. In the land of Shu, who doesn't praise Gu Yi! It's really lucky to be able to work with Guyi. But I hope you and I can work together to repel the extraordinary thief army, so as to protect Yizhou without losing an inch of land!!!"

In the past, Zhang Ren must disdain Liu Bei's righteous words. However, after yesterday's battle, Zhang Ren's impression of Liu Bei has greatly improved. He really thought that what Liu Bei said was from the bottom of his heart.

Zhang Ren was very moved to hear the words and hurriedly bowed to Liu Bei.

"The emperor's uncle is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. It is really a blessing for the people of Shu to be helped by the emperor's uncle!"

Liu Bei laughed and held Zhang Ren's hand and walked side by side intimately. Fa Zheng secretly saw that Zhang Ren had admired Liu Bei and was overjoyed. At the same time, he also sighed that Liu Bei was good at heart, decisive and fierce, and won Zhang Ren's respect with the feat of sacrificing his life for righteousness.

At this point, Zhang Ren has no more difficulties and respects Liu Bei. Unconsciously, Liu Bei has won the hearts of all the Xichuan soldiers in the Qimeng Pass.

The war in Shu has come to an end for the time being. Just a month ago, the imperial capital was Luoyang. Cao Cao received a letter from Wen Han and learned that Liu Bei had gone to Xichuan. At that time, Cao Cao happened to discuss with the ministers whether to take advantage of Wen Han's great army to fight against the northwest.

Cao Cao's pair of detailed eyes swallowing the weather shined brightly. After reading the Wen Han document, he said with the ministers with laughter.

"Do you have any opinions on the current situation? Should I take advantage of Wen Bufan to send troops to the Shu land and march to the northwest, or take advantage of Liu Bei to go to Xichuan and raise troops to the south to Jingzhou?

As soon as Cao Cao's voice fell, Cheng Yu immediately got up to attend and bowed his hand to him.

"Yi Yu's opinion. Wen Bufan is the hero of the world, sitting in the northwest. The world is so big that only his power is closest to the king of Wei. Although Liu Xuande was assisted by Zhuge Kongming, an unprecedented genius, he was able to rise, but his foundation was not stable. It is not like Wen Fan, who has been secessionist in the northwest for many years, and its power is deeply rooted and has been attached to by the people. Compared with Wen Feifan, Liu Xuande is just a shining light. The king of Wei should first remove the extraordinary literature, attack the northwest, stabilize the situation, gather millions of heroes, and wave the army to the south. Even if the two families of Sun and Liu unite, they can't block the car with their arms and hit the stone with eggs. It is by no means the opponent of the king of Wei's million heroes!!!"

As soon as Cheng Yu's advice fell, Xun You immediately got up and attended and retorted.
