Jiang Wei twitched the spear a few times, but when he couldn't pull it out, he gave up immediately.
After Chen Shi died, he pulled out the spear, shook his head and sighed,
"He is indeed a loyal man!"
As Gao Xiang escaped, Chen Shi was killed, and the Yizhou army was completely defeated!
In less than a stick of incense, a thousand soldiers transporting food were killed and surrendered, and the war was declared over.
When Yang Ling and Zhao Yun came down from the top of the mountain, Deng Ai and Jiang Wei had already started cleaning the battlefield.
Seeing Yang Ling arriving, Jiang Wei ran over and said with a big laugh,
"Teacher, good news!"
"What good news? Let me tell you."
"After counting by my senior brother and I, this batch of food and grass can probably be enough for Liu Bei's troops, which can be used for three months!"
Jiang Wei said excitedly.
In ancient times, when marching and fighting in the front, when transporting grain and grass from the rear, most of them transported a large amount of grain and grass at one time, in order to improve the efficiency of grain transportation.
Especially like the Jinniu Road from Chengdu to Hanzhong, the road is long and steep, making it impossible to transport grain and grass on a small scale.
This time, Liu Bei's three-month supply of food and grass was plundered. Even if Zhuge Liang, who was in Chengdu, had the ability, he would never be able to transport enough food and grass in a short period of time!
"Take away all the food and grass that can be taken away! If you can't take away, burn it on the spot!"
Yang Ling ordered.
"What about these peasants?"
Jiang Wei pointed to the people squatting on the ground with frightened expressions and asked Yang Ling.
"It's useless to kill them. Let them go and let them go to Yangping Pass!"
Yang Ling pondered for a moment and sneered.
Liu Bei, don't you claim to be benevolent and righteous? I will send these five thousand people back to you. It will be up to you what you do then!
According to Yang Ling's instructions, after cleaning the battlefield, the Wei army burned the food and grass that could not be taken away.
As for the five thousand civilians, they were also driven to Yangping Pass!
…
Praise.
It was noon at this time, and Liu Bei, Fazheng, Zhang Fei and others were sitting cross-legged on the couch, eating rice and discussing the current situation.
"It's strange to say, how come Cao Wei has been so calm these past few days?"
Fazheng held his rice bowl and frowned.
With a strong enemy on his side, Liu Bei did not dare to neglect, and sent out more than a dozen scout teams every day to inquire about the situation in Nanzheng.
But everything was calm in Nanzheng City, and Yang Ling seemed to have no intention of attacking Baozhong.
You must know that for Cao Wei, the wisest thing is to fight quickly, win Baozhong and Yangping Pass as soon as possible, and drive Liu Bei out of Hanzhong.
After all, delaying it will only increase the logistical pressure on Cao Jun.
However, Yang Ling stood still, which really made Fa Zheng doubtful.
"Is there something wrong with Cao Wei's rear?"
Liu Bei speculated.
"What brother said makes sense!"
Zhang Fei said carelessly,
"Isn't that false emperor Cao Zhi dead? Maybe Yang Ling has left Nanzheng and gone back to attend the funeral!"
Fazheng curled his lips.
When Cao Zhi passed away, Yang Ling, as a minister, dared not return to Xudu to attend the funeral, and planned an ambush for Liu Bei.
Now Liu Bei occupies Baozhong and is eyeing Hanzhong. Under such a situation, how can Yang Ling go back?
"Mr. Takanao, do you have any suggestions?"
Liu Bei asked softly.
Fazheng thought for a while and suggested,
"How about this? Your lord can send Mr. Xianhe to Nanzheng tomorrow. On the surface it is for peace talks, but in fact he is going to observe the situation in the city and see what Yang Ling has in mind!"
"That's fine!"
Liu Bei nodded and said to Jian Yong,
"Then please sir!"
"This is the duty of my subordinates. Your Majesty, you're welcome!"
Jian Yong hurriedly said modestly.
After settling the matter, Liu Bei felt relieved and took big mouthfuls of rice.
However, at this moment, Sun Qian was seen running in in a hurry,
"Lord, something happened!"
After sending troops to Hanzhong, Liu Bei asked Wu Yi and his brother Wu Ban to guard Yangping Pass.
Sun Qian, on the other hand, stayed with Wu Yi as a counselor.
Seeing that he was not staying at Yangping Pass, he hurried over and said that something was wrong. Liu Bei's heart sank.
"Mr. Gongyou, but Yangping Pass is lost?!"
"Reporting to my lord, Yangping Pass is doing well!"
Sun Qian took a breath and explained.
"As long as Yangping Pass is not lost, what could happen?"
Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief and smiled nonchalantly.
"Lord, Yangping Pass is not lost, but Cao Jun went around to our rear and cut off our food and grass."
Sun Qian said with a sad face.
After Gao Xiang escaped, he quickly rushed to Yangping Pass and told Wu Yi, the gatekeeper, that he had been ambushed.
Wu Yi was shocked after hearing this!
Knowing that the matter was of great importance, he did not dare to neglect, and immediately asked Sun Qian to come to Baozhong to inform Liu Bei and others.
"What, this happened?"
Liu Bei was immediately furious and slammed the bowl on the table!
Fazheng and others on the side also took a breath after listening to Sun Qian's account of what happened!
Co-author Yang Ling has been holding back recently and is sending people to sneak attack their food routes!
Why is this bastard so cunning? !
"No, Yangping Pass is clearly guarded by Wu Yi and others. How did Yang Ling go around to the rear and attack the grain transport convoy?"
Liu Bei recovered from the shock and immediately asked.
"This... my subordinates don't know..."
Sun Qian shook his head.
"Lord, in my opinion, Yang Ling might have found an unknown mountain road in Daba Mountain, and then detoured to the back of Yangping Pass."
Fa Zheng was always smart, but after pondering for a moment, he suddenly understood the reason.
"How come Yang Ling is so lucky?"
Zhang Fei said angrily.
Before Liu Bei attacked Yangping Pass, he did enough research, but he could not find such a mountain road.
In the end, it was the Wei army that attracted Zhang Lu's idea and defeated the defenders of Yangping Pass before taking Yangping Pass.
But Yang Ling found the mountain road leading to the back of Yangping Pass with ease. How could he not make Zhang Fei angry?
"It's useless to talk about this right now, the top priority is to think about what to do next!"
Liu Bei looked at Fazheng with a sad face.
"Mr. Xiao Nao, do you have any good ideas?"
Nowadays, the food and grass in Baozhong and Yangpingguan are only enough for the army for one month at most.
Even if he ordered Zhuge Liang to raise food again, it would still be too late!
The most troublesome thing is that Liu Bei and others' retreat has been cut off!
If there was no food and grass, the worst possible outcome would be to withdraw the troops!
But since the Wei army was able to ambush the grain transport convoy, who knew that Yang Ling would not ambush again when Liu Bei and others retreated?
You must know that the Taurus Road is extremely narrow, and the army cannot spread out at all.
As long as Yang Ling is willing, he can ambush Liu Bei anywhere!
It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, Liu Bei and his soldiers were trapped in Yangping Pass and Bao like turtles in an urn!
There is no need for the Wei army to take action. In a month, the Yizhou army will be defeated without attacking!
