Liu Chan looked at Jia Xu and Cao Jun who were slowly retreating, his eyes widened at this time.
Feeling the pain in his butt and the blood that seemed to be flowing slowly, Liu Chan, who felt aggrieved, wished he could rush over and leave them all behind.
But before he could say anything, he felt his wrist being grabbed directly.
The movement and feeling made Liu Chan know that it was his father-in-law who was trying to dissuade him without even looking.
"Prime Minister...Why didn't Prime Minister send troops to intercept?"
"Cao Zhen, Zhang He and their cavalry, once they fight, both sides will lose.
Even though it’s a great victory for us, but..."
When Zhuge Liang said this, he couldn't help but sigh, and then motioned for Liu Chan to look behind him.
Liu Chan slowly turned around and realized that although the soldiers on the warship looked majestic, if you looked closer you could see that most of them had scars on their bodies.
And...everyone of them is quite embarrassed.
"Prime Minister... Prime Minister, this is..."
"We still underestimated Cao Wei's background. Liang did successfully attack Wuguan, but he also suffered heavy losses.
Sima Yi, who was left behind in Luoyang, somehow managed to persuade the defenders in Luoyang to let him lead thousands of troops to dispatch. Moreover, he did not enter Wancheng, so he seemed to have figured out Liang's method.
Send troops directly to Wuguan for rescue.
Liang was only one step faster than him. After killing the Wuguan guard, Sima Yi also led his troops and rushed in from another gate.
Although the state fought hard for a long time, it was only through the desperate fighting of Ma Dai, Zhang Bao and other soldiers that Sima Yi was driven out.
But we also suffered a lot in this battle.
Ma Dai was left to garrison Wuguan at this time. Liang was worried about His Highness's safety and returned directly to the army.
As for Ma Chao... Although it seems that General Ma Chao has the advantage in this battle report, Zhang Ji, Su Ze and others are powerful in the land of Yongliang in the northwest.
Cheng Gongying was wily and scheming, and the Di people still recognized Ma Chao, but the Qiang and Hu were no longer the same as before.
Cao Zhen pacified the northwest and reopened the Western Regions.
For a time, very few Qiang and Hu people dared to resist.
Just relying on Lin Dai and Ding Linghu couldn't accomplish anything, and the final result was just to be repulsed.
Although Meng Qi was brave, this time his purpose was just to harass Wudu Yinping, and he had no strength to support him.
Therefore, the amount of grain and fodder behind is almost nothing. It is not easy to do this.
I'm afraid the battle report will come again soon, but by then Zhang Ji should have conquered the northwest. "
Although Zhuge Liang's words were calm, Liu Chan could still hear the deep helplessness and emotion.
I don't know if it is because of his two lives, Liu Chan's mind has become more delicate, and he can now see a lot of things that he had not noticed before.
How this battle came to this point, Liu Chan actually still hasn't figured it out yet.
But Liu Chan knew what a good opportunity this time was.
After breaking through Wuguan, what lies ahead is the old capital Chang'an!
Liangzhou was empty. Ma Chao had already invaded Longyou. If there were enough logistical equipment, there would be tens of thousands of elites behind as support, as well as Lindai and Ding Linghu as internal agents.
Liangzhou can almost be said to be at your fingertips.
Or maybe there are more than ten thousand elites in Jingzhou, and they take this opportunity to directly send troops to Nanyang, kill Cao Pi, and capture Nanyang. I dare not say that they can conquer Luoyang, but at least it is not impossible to directly capture all of Jingzhou.
but now...
"Let's go, Your Highness..." Zhuge Liang smiled directly, "It's great that Your Highness can do this. No matter what happens, we don't have more soldiers, horses and generals to garrison.
If we are too greedy, I am afraid it will burst our appetite. Step by step is my vitality now. "
With these words, Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan also left the battlefield.
Jia Xu and others wanted to rescue Cao Pi, but Zhuge Liang naturally would not let them do so.
Liu Chan was placed on an ox cart obtained from someone unknown, and a doctor treated his wounds.
Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, led his army just behind Jia Xu. As long as he dared to let the cavalry go first, or dared to speed up arbitrarily, Zhuge Liang would rush over and attack his rear army directly.
Not only that, Wei Yan also appeared again with his troops. After meeting with Zhuge Liang, he immediately received troops and horses to attack Wancheng again.
Now that Wancheng is empty, all Jia Xu's army is here, and Cao Pi is in danger, who can take care of this "little" Nanyang County?
However, it was defeated by Wei Yan again within an hour, but this time Wei Yan also obtained Zhuge Liang's order. After conquering Wancheng, he immediately started to do what he had not finished before.
Move all the people in Wancheng and its surrounding cities away.
There are also all the grain and grass, cattle, baggage and so on.
Those who plunder are called clean.
On the other side, Jia Xu looked at the Han army chasing him without attacking or leaving, and he kept saying bad luck.
Cao Zhen had led Zhang He and Xu Huang in tentative attacks several times, which proved that Jia Xu's guess was correct. Although Zhuge Liang came, his troops and horses were not as strong and majestic as he showed.
It would be a fool's errand to defeat them head-on, but if they were in chaos, it would be no problem to give them a serious blow.
In order to avoid losses as much as possible, Jia Xu could only evacuate slowly, hoping that Jiangdong would not act recklessly at this time.
With only thousands of Han troops, even if Cao Pi couldn't defend it, his life would not be in danger.
After all, he was their Majesty the Great Wei, and beside him were the elite of Cao Jun's forbidden army.
Jia Xu's guess was correct this time. Cao Pi was indeed not in danger, but... it was really too miserable.
Thousands of elite Han troops with high morale surrounded the thousands of defeated troops. Even if the elite of the Forbidden Army faced this situation, they could not defend a dilapidated Fancheng.
After struggling for more than half a day, Xiahou Shang could only retreat into Fan City with his troops and horses, and continued to fight Huang Quan and others with the help of the broken walls of Fan City.
The two sides fought extremely fiercely, but in the second half of the day, the number of people lost exceeded a thousand.
Moreover, this number is still increasing, making Xiahou Shang clearly know that if he continues to defend Fancheng, it will really be a dead end.
For this reason, he could only tell Cao Pi that it was time to break out!
Before night fell, Xu Chu, the veteran general beside Cao Pi, once again put on his triple armor, took his own broadsword, and rode the claw yellow flying lightning that Cao Cao had given him back then and rushed towards the Han army's camp.
After fighting for an hour, Xu Chu finally dragged his old and tired body to force open a gap for Cao Pi, allowing Xiahou Shang to protect Cao Pi and leave Fancheng.
Just looking at the charging Huang Quan, Wu Ban and others, Xu Chu finally stopped following after a burst of tragic laughter...
