Outside Dido.
Xiahou Ba's face was full of exhaustion. He stood at the door of the camp with a hesitant expression. He pondered for a moment, but did not dare to approach.
"Is the General Chariot out there?"
Jiang Wei's voice suddenly came from the tent. Xiahou Ba was stunned and walked into the tent with a wry smile.
He quickly bowed to see him.
"Meet General Wei"
"Why are you so polite, General Chariot and Cavalry? Sit down."
Jiang Wei was sitting on his knees in front of the case. In front of him were maps and reports from scouts from various places. Jiang Wei looked equally tired, his eyes were red, but there was no trace of depression on his face. Or lost.
Xiahou Ba carefully sat next to Jiang Wei. Among the three generals commanding the army now, Xiahou Ba actually took on the role of mediator.
The conflict between Jiang Wei and Zhang Yi is getting worse.
With the series of defeats in the war, Zhang Yi became more and more dissatisfied with Jiang Wei, and the two almost reached the point of quarreling when they met. If it weren't for Xiahou Ba, the two of them would probably fall apart.
This made Xiahou Ba very worried. If these two really started to fight, something big would happen to the war.
How can we win if our generals are at odds with each other?
At this moment, he looked at Jiang Wei in front of him and said, "General, General Zhang failed to capture the top of the mountain today."
"Please be aware that this is not because General Zhang did something bad. He personally led his men to charge twice. It's just that the enemy is guarding favorable terrain and it is really difficult for us to capture it."
Xiahou Ba was originally prepared to face Jiang Wei's anger, but unexpectedly, Jiang Wei did not have an attack this time.
There was bitterness in his eyes, "This is not his problem, it's me who underestimated the enemy. I didn't expect Chen Tai to have such courage and command ability. It's my fault."
Xiahou Ba didn't speak, which actually showed his thoughts.
Jiang Wei looked at him, "Please don't worry, I won't blame General Zhang for this matter."
"Actually, I understand what he said, but this opportunity must not be missed."
"I am not sending troops for my own fame. In the past, I have led troops to attack counties that have no strategic significance, just to collect the people and obtain the food and grass to make up for the troops. I am a dignified Han general. I led my men and horses to become bandits in Yongliang, is this also for my own merit?!"
"But this time it's different. We go out with a large army. If we don't have enough results, how will we face His Majesty? The ministers will not let go of such an opportunity. They don't want to attack Cao's traitor in the first place."
"Guo Huai is dead. The morale of Yongliang's army is low and they cannot defeat us on the plains. Sima Division is also dead. Cao Cao's Chinese army cannot come to support in time. If we miss this opportunity, then we will have to do it next time. What we are facing is not a group of Cao Wei troops who can only defend within the city."
"Nowadays, Cao Wei's strength is getting stronger. In these few expeditions, I can feel the pressure increasing."
"If we don't send troops and give them a chance to develop steadily, we will die faster."
"General Zhang can't understand me. He thinks that I insist on attacking the city for my own merits. He can say these words to me in private, but he can't publicize them outside. If these words get out, then he will They are the sinners who destroyed the great Han Dynasty!"
A big man?
Xiahou Ba looked at Jiang Wei in front of him, but he didn't feel much empathy.
He probably couldn't look at the problem completely from the perspective of Shu, nor could he change his identity as quickly as Jiang Wei.
Seeing Xiahou Ba's silence, Jiang Wei asked, "What do the other generals think?"
"They are all very scared. Chen Tai's cavalry often wanders in the north. It seems that they want to cut off our food routes. The soldiers are very uneasy. Many generals have reported to me, hoping to lead their troops back."
Jiang Wei finally felt disappointed in his eyes.
The person who restricted him was gone, Guo Huai was dead, and the other party couldn't rescue him in time. Under this kind of start, would he experience another failure?
If there is still no result this time, Jiang Wei can imagine what the ministers of the DPRK will look like.
It is almost impossible to go out with such a large force next time.
Jiang Wei's heart was full of unwillingness.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Xiahou Ba didn't say a word, just sat here. After a long time, he heard Jiang Wei finally speak.
"Reorganize the army and give up attacking Chen Tai and Didao. We will withdraw our troops and return."
"only!!"
Xiahou Ba was very excited and left here with Jiang Wei's order. Jiang Wei also walked out of the camp and looked at the mountains in the distance, with indescribable loneliness in his eyes.
At this moment, Chen Tai stood on the mountain peak, looking at Jiang Wei's army in the distance.
After he deliberately made a gesture to cut off the retreat, the opponent would definitely choose to retreat, and they would have no morale.
It's a pity that the morale on our side is not very high, otherwise, if we pursue at this moment, we may still gain a victory.
But being able to contain Jiang Wei's strategic purpose is already considered a victory.

After all, every time the Shu Kingdom goes on an expedition, it costs a lot of money and leaves them with nothing to gain, which in turn weakens their national power in disguised form.
However, Chen Tai was a little confused.
Where are my reinforcements?
Didn’t he say that His Majesty sent reinforcements? Why is it still missing after such a long time? Could it be that he was going to cut Jiang Wei's retreat?
Chen Tai was a little confused, but he was not in a hurry to take action. He still had to send more people to inquire about the situation before making a decision. No matter what the reinforcements were, Yongliang could not make any mistakes!
Jiang Wei gave up attacking the city and began to leave with his soldiers, but Chen Tai did not send anyone to pursue him.
It was only then that the mood of the soldiers improved and they were no longer so panicked. Zhang Yi did not come to Jiang Wei again. At this moment, his attitude towards Jiang Wei was almost indifferent. The conflicts between the two accumulated to the point where they were irreconcilable. reached the point.
On the way back, Jiang Wei tried his best to make up for his mistakes, including robbing people and food, to reduce the cost of this expedition.
And this is not the first time Jiang Wei has done this. He is already a veteran, and even the bandits on Wangwu Mountain are far inferior to him.
From the perspective of the Shu Han, Jiang Wei was preparing for the Northern Expedition and rescuing the people whose lives were worse than death from the clutches of Cao Wei.
From Cao Wei's point of view, Jiang Wei was no different from a bandit. He robbed the people, robbed their food, forced the people to leave their hometown, and headed for Shu, without knowing how many people died along the way.
Jiang Wei also determined his destination this time, Zhongdi.
On this day, the weather was calm, and the Shu army drove a large number of people, using carriages to pull food and supplies, and hurried towards here.
They all looked quite tired. The common people lowered their heads and their faces were full of fear. They just moved forward at full speed and did not dare to stay at all.
Zhongdi County looks as usual, exceptionally quiet.
When Zhang Yi led the front army here, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
The surroundings were a bit too peaceful. There were no scouts and cavalry of their own, nor the enemy's scouts and light cavalry.
Not even wild beasts or refugees could be seen.
At this moment, Zhang Yi hurriedly ordered the army to stop.
"Inform General Wei!! There is an ambush ahead!!"
As soon as Zhang Yigang finished speaking, shouts of killing came from three sides. In a moment, war drums were beating, flags were erected like bamboo shoots, and the enemy rushed over from three sides.
Zhang Yi was shocked and hurriedly formed a formation to meet the enemy.
Jiang Wei, who was walking behind him, naturally noticed the movement in the distance, but there was not much fear in Jiang Wei's eyes. Fighting in this terrain was beneficial to him!
He hurriedly ordered that the main force advance from the right, and the rear army responded to Zhang Yi.
Jiang Wei quickly began to deploy tactics. At this moment, Zhang Yi was already engaged with the enemy's main force.
Jiang Wei led the main force to attack from the right, preparing to bypass the spread-out front army and launch a fierce attack from the plain on the side to directly disperse the enemy.
But when Jiang Wei started to take a detour, he found that something was wrong.
Zhang Yi's general's flag fell with a crash, and he saw a group of cavalry rushing out of Zhang Yi's army. Zhang Yi's army was actually divided into two, the formation was in chaos, and it looked like a rout.
Jiang Wei was shocked at this moment. This was definitely not the army that Chen Tai used to cut off the rear! !
If they had this kind of fighting power, would they still let him go back? ?
Could it be reinforcements from the Cao thief? ?
Why did the reinforcements appear here? ?
At this moment, the group of cavalry seemed to have discovered Jiang Wei's general flag. In Jiang Wei's shocked eyes, they actually pounced directly on Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei had no choice but to stop his detour and switch formations to deal with the cavalry charge.
The young Wen Yang was killing everyone, and the armor all over his body was stained red with blood.
Just now, it was he who led the tiger and leopard cavalry to kill all the way. Zhang Yi was protected by the soldiers and hid among the soldiers, but his banner was cut directly by Wen Yang, which made Zhang Yi lose the ability to attack the front army. command.
Now, he saw another general's flag.
Jiang Wei! ! !
Wen Yang was like a hungry wolf who had seen its prey. At this moment, he led many knights and started to charge directly.
This flat terrain is simply a paradise for cavalry!
Xiahou Ba led the rear army to arrive, and hurriedly responded to Zhang Yi in front, withstanding the pressure of the rest of the army.
At this moment, due to Wei's attack, Jiang Wei's army was divided, their formation was extremely chaotic, and they were retreating steadily.
Jiang Wei roared loudly, he drove to a high place, then looked down at the battlefield, and kept giving orders, hoping to change the situation where the army was fighting on its own, but the other party seemed to see what he was thinking, and they kept charging forward. Even if the enemy is not completely eliminated, it must continue to penetrate forward, which makes it completely impossible to gather the various units again!
At this time, Jiang Wei saw a young general raising the horse in his hand high and roaring at him:
"Old General!!"
"Do you know that I, Pei Guowen Ciqian?!"
