However, for several days, he had not heard the movement from the direction of the Wei army camp. Jiang Wei couldn't help but wonder. This was obviously not in line with Cao Liang's combat style. What Cao Liang is best at is to take advantage of your illness and kill you and point your life directly to the point, and often won't give his opponent any chance to breathe.

This time, the Shu army suffered a heavy blow in Heisuyuan, and the Wei army won a great victory. They also defeated Hu Fen and Zhang Yi on Huangtupo, destroyed Zhoutai in Qingnigou, and successfully won Chen Cang, who was abandoned by Zhoutai. This battle is indeed classic enough.

But after the Shu army retreated to Jiming Mountain, it quickly started a large retreat mode. The Wei army would report this information to Cao Liang in large quantities. How could Cao Liang remain unmoved and remain indifferent?

However, from the perspective of climbing high on Jiming Mountain, the Wei army's defense in Chencang area was clear at a glance. After the war, the Wei army was in a state of rest and recuperation, and it seemed that there was no intention to attack Jiming Mountain.

This abnormal situation made Jiang Wei feel very puzzled, but since the Wei army did not come to attack, it would naturally be a great thing for Jiang Wei. If the Wei army's attack was delayed for a few more days, he would be able to withdraw troops from Longxi and immigrate. He would not defend the Jiming Mountain position and throw it directly to the Wei army.

However, if something goes wrong, it will be a monster. Jiang Wei was a little worried. After all, Cao Liang is not an ordinary person. If he had a lucky mentality, he would probably lose even worse.

Therefore, Jiang Wei ordered the Shu army to increase its guard and defense level to prevent the Wei army from coming to attack. At the same time, he ordered Hu Fen of Jieting to defend the Jieting fortress at all costs to ensure the safe evacuation of the Longxi counties.

Of course, with Hu Fen's current military strength, it is quite difficult to defend Jieting, so Jiang Wei gives Hu Fen ten days. If Hu Fen can hold on for ten days, even if he completes the task, he will advance and retreat at will, but if he has less than ten days of guarding, he will come and see him!

But not long after he sent out the orders, Jiang Wei received the news that the Wei army had captured Lueyang, and was shocked.

Although Lueyang is not a gateway west of Jieting, Lueyang is less than 200 miles away from Ji County and Shangbi. According to the news that it was reported that the Wei cavalry troops Yueqin and Ruiqin camp were conquered. These two hundred miles would take at least three or four days for infantrymen, but for cavalry, it was less than one day's journey. Tianshui was in danger and Longxi was in danger!

However, since Lueyang is west of Jieting, how did the Wei army break through Jieting’s defense? Why did there be no news of the loss on Jieting?

Jiang Wei was furious. The retreat plan of Longxi was proceeding in an orderly manner, but due to various conditions, the progress was relatively slow. Therefore, Jiang Wei attaches great importance to the Longshan defense line. It is difficult to defend the two key passes of Jiming Mountain and Jieting. This is the key to whether the retreat plan in Longxi can be carried out smoothly.

Now that the Wei army has penetrated the Longxi defense line, the cavalry has captured Lueyang, the entire Longxi Plain is no longer dangerous and has no soldiers to defend, and a large number of soldiers and civilians waiting to be relocated are still stranded on the Wei River line, and the entire evacuation plan will be completely failed.

"Where is Hu Fen? Who can tell me where the Jieting defenders are?" Jiang Wei's face turned pale and shouted loudly.

The generals in the tent bowed their heads and said nothing. There was no news from Jieting, so no one knew what happened in Jieting, and how the Wei army broke through the Jieting defense line. As for Hu Fen's whereabouts, no one could defeat Xiao.

Perhaps Hu Fen has been killed, perhaps Hu Fen has surrendered, or perhaps Hu Fen has fled, in short, all kinds of possibilities are available, but no matter what, after Jieting's defense line was penetrated, Longxi was out of the ordinary situation, and the current migration and evacuation mission has not yet been completed, and the subsequent actions are no longer sustainable under the threat of the Wei cavalry.

Simalun's expression was also very ugly. After all, Hu Fen was his man. The loss of Jieting caused the war in Longxi to change, and Simalun was also to blame.

Logically speaking, if Jieting is attacked, Hu Fen should have sent someone to report it as soon as possible, but until they received the news that Lueyang had lost, Jieting is still full of Daran's news, which is not a very normal thing.

The reason why Sima Lun chose Hu Fen to guard Jieting was indeed because he relied heavily on Hu Fen. Although Hu Fen rarely won when fighting with the Wei army, he could accumulate a lot of combat experience even if he defeated more.

More importantly, Hu Fen and Cao Liang had a grudge against killing their father. Hu Fen's father Hu Zun was captured by Cao Liang in the Battle of Bingzhou and died in prison. Hu Fen was determined to avenge his father and had an irreconcilable hatred with Cao Liang. Therefore, other generals may have the possibility of surrender, but Sima Lun did not have to worry about Hu Fen at all. Even if he fought one soldier and one soldier, he would fight with the Wei army to the end.

But it was such a person who made Simalun believe extremely, who actually lost contact at this critical moment, which made Simalun feel so ill.

After Jiang Wei was furious, he became a little more rational. After all, impulse could not solve everything, and he could not repel the Wei cavalry that had already reached Longxi. No matter how difficult the battle was, Jiang Wei had to deal with it calmly to reduce the losses to a minimum.

The five counties of Longxi under Shu's current control, except Anding County is far north, this time it was not included in the plan to retreat and relocate. The other four counties were basically on the front line of the Wei River, so the main population of each county is also distributed in the Wei River area. The Wei army is already facing Lueyang. When there is no force to resist, it is only a matter of time before they arrive at the county towns of Longxi such as Ji County.

Therefore, Jiang Wei decisively ordered the four counties of Longxi to give up their plans to relocate, and officials and troops who had not yet evacuated had to evacuate as soon as possible. The troops and people who had arrived in Xi County should hurry up and enter Qishan Road, while the troops who stayed at Qishan Fort were ready for battle and would block the Wei army's pursuit at all costs.

The entire Qishan Road is now overcrowded. If the Wei army is allowed to drive into the valley, it will definitely be a unilateral massacre. Therefore, the defense of Qishan Fort has become the top priority of the entire retreat plan. Jiang Wei arranged for Jiang Wan's son Jiang Bin to guard Qishan Fort, and this time he could not fail any further.

Just as Jiang Wei was dispatching troops, Zhong Hui quietly walked behind Sima Lun and whispered a few words in his ear. Sima Lun's expression suddenly changed. Zhong Hui told him a shocking news: Hu Fen is back!
Chapter completed!
