The Wei army advanced three routes, the left legion, the middle legion, and the two cavalry battalions of the right legion were all the way, with great momentum and awesomeness as a tiger.

Shi Bao led the Tunqi Camp and the Jinqi Camp to conquer Lantian Pass. When he arrived at the periphery of Chang'an, he realized that the battle in Chang'an City had ended. However, Shi Bao did not return to Wuguan or Shangyong to meet with Du Yu, but was ordered to stay in Chang'an and prepare to participate in the Battle of Longxi.

Du Yu had already made arrangements for this. After all, the Right Legion arrived at Shangyong to fight, and there was basically mountains there, and the cavalry troops could not be used at all, so Du Yu had already divided his troops when he was in Shangluo, asking Shi Bao to lead two cavalry battalions to Chang'an, and he led the rest of the troops to Shangyong.

Shi Bao successfully took down the almost unguarded Lantian Pass. When he arrived in Chang'an City, he found that Chang'an City had been taken down by Deng Ai. However, Shi Bao did not return to Shangyong to meet with Du Yu, but stayed in Chang'an in accordance with Cao Liang's will.

The battle in Longxi is about to be imminent, and Chang'an is just the time to use people. Shi Bao led the Tunqi Camp and the Jinqi Camp to help. It was just at the right time. Tunqi Camp was one of the three major ace forces of the Wei army. Its unparalleled field attack ability is beyond the reach of any army. Most of the Longxi area is plains, which is the best stage for Tunqi Camp to perform. Therefore, Cao Liang ordered Shi Bao to stay in Chang'an, follow the left legion and the Central legion, temporarily obeying the command of Deng Ai and Yang Hu, but still retaining the independent system of Tunqi Camp and Jinqi Camp.

After taking Chang'an, Deng Ai and Yang Hu had already joined forces. Due to the problem of logistics supply direction, Yang Hu gave up the further pursuit after chasing Sima Lun to Linwei.

After all, from Linjin Pass to Longxi, it was necessary to cross the entire 800-mile Qinchuan. The Wei army still had some difficulties in logistics supply, not to mention that it was not a wise move to go deep into Longxi alone. Longxi has always been the territory of the Sima Army. With the Yongliang Governor Guo Huai personally took charge and joined the fleeing Simalun army, there were still 100,000 people, which was not vulnerable. So after no Deng Ai's army responded, Yang Hu stopped to pursue him cautiously. He met Deng Ai in Chang'an, and then found out the information in Longxi? He launched an attack.

Cao Liang repeatedly warned the generals of the Wei army that they should not be careless when facing Sima Lun. Although this person is young, he is extremely courageous and has outstanding strategies. When he was in Yuzhou, he caused severe damage to the Bingzhou army. This defeat is almost one of the biggest defeats of the Bingzhou army since its establishment? The entire backbone camp was almost wiped out? Such a painful lesson is enough to alert people.

Naturally, Yang Hu would not repeat the same mistake easily? He pursued Sima Lun from Linjin Pass to Linwei? He was not afraid that Sima Lun would set up an ambush? After all, on the south bank of the Wei River, there was the army of Deng Ai of the Left Army? If Sima Lun really wanted to play something, he would easily fall into the front and back attacks of the Wei army.

So Sima Lun, who retreated from Linjin Pass, did not dare to stop for a moment. He ran wildly towards Longxi, and even paid the lives of more than 10,000 people who had left behind, he barely distanced himself from Yang Hu's army.

If the speed of the Central Army's Cavalry Camp is at the speed, it can be said that there is no pressure to catch up with Sima Jun. You can definitely catch up with Sima Jun before they arrive in Longxi.

But Yang Hu did not let the cavalry camp continue to pursue, but followed most of the troops of the Central Army to cross the Wei River and met with Deng Ai's left army. God knew whether Sima Lun would dig a big hole for him in front and wait for him to jump inside. The risk of the lonely army going deeper was something that the cautious Yang Hu was unwilling to bear.

Moreover, the pursuit was in a hurry, and Yang Hu didn't even have time to prepare enough food and grass. In fact, when he arrived in Linwei, the food and grass carried by the Central Army had been almost exhausted. If he really chased all the way to Longxi, the logistics supply would be difficult to keep up with the pace of the Central Army, and the Wei soldiers would have to be hungry.

So based on all aspects of the situation, Yang Hu decided to suspend the pursuit and wait until he was fully prepared, and it would not be too late to pursue it.

Anyway, Sima Lun will not run away when he fled to Longxi. After he and Guo Huai met, Longxi will surely become the last territory for Sima Lun to defend. After completing the occupation of Chang'an, the Wei army will also advance westward and attack Longxi directly to eliminate the remaining last Sima army.

But to everyone's surprise, what came from Longxi was that Guo Huai did not cooperate with Sima Lun, but took Sima Yan and Sima You to Liangzhou. Sima Lun simply surrendered to Shu Kingdom, united with Jiang Wei's troops, and built a new Longxi defense line.

Many people were stunned by Sima Lun's actions. It is said that Sima Lun is Sima Yi's son and has a deep hatred with Shu Kingdom. You abandoned Sima Jin's Liji great cause and surrendered to Shu Kingdom so quickly. I will ask you, can your father Sima Yi's coffin board be covered?

For Deng Ai and Yang Hu, this undoubtedly faced a new challenge. The sudden entry of the Shu Kingdom Jiang Wei's army caused the situation in Longxi to change suddenly. The originally formulated offensive plan must be pushed back and started over. After understanding the basic situation in Longxi, Deng Ai and Yang Hu quickly reported to Cao Liang in Luoyang, and Cao Liang decided on the new offensive plan.

Of course, Cao Liang would not shake his determination to pacify Longxi because of the addition of Shu Kingdom. The centipede insect died without being stiff. The sooner he took Longxi, the more favorable the situation would be, and the more delayed the situation would be, the greater the variables would be.

Although Jiang Wei led only more than 50,000 Shu troops, the Shu army has been fighting for many years and has rich combat experience, especially in mountain combat methods. The advantages of the Shu army are quite obvious. Jiang Wei and Sima Lun have a combination of them, which is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two. The two armies complement each other and the improvement of combat effectiveness is quite terrible. The only thing that is lacking now is probably running-in. If the two armies form a tacit understanding, it may be really a troublesome thing.

Therefore, Cao Liang asked Deng Ai and Yang Hu to set out early when completing their combat preparations, and to catch up with the enemy's Longxi defense line before the cold winter.

After receiving Cao Liang's order to go to war, Deng Ai and Yang Hu naturally did not dare to neglect them. They formed three armies, storming along the north and south sides of the Wei River, heading westward and towards Chen Cang.
