Of course, the salted fish would not give Yan Yu a chance to give up. After finally fooling Yan Yu out of Nanzheng, halfway through the road. If Yan Yu withdraws his troops back to Nanzheng at this time, wouldn’t the salted fish have been wasted all his efforts?

So no matter what, Yan Yu cannot retreat like this. After seeing Yan Yu want to retreat, Xianyu immediately said: "Governor, this place is not far from Lecheng. He retreated without fighting with the Wei army, just for the sake of ridicule for Jiang Boyue."

The salted fish did not say anything to ridicule the people of the world. Even if it was said, it might not be of any use. Yan Yu was essentially not the kind of brave general who was brave enough to move forward and was ready to die. He liked to be smart, smart and pragmatic, and belonged to the type who did not show off the rabbit and did not show off the eagle. Without a sure grasp, he would not take action easily.

Xianyu had already figured out Yan Yu's temper during this period. After Yan Yu took office as Hanzhong, although he was nominally the highest military and political chief of Hanzhong, in fact, Jiang Wei's influence was everywhere. Not only did Jiang Bin, Wang Shefu Qian, who held military power, obey Jiang Wei's will and ignore his orders, but even ordinary soldiers and civilians praised Jiang Wei very much.

This made Yan Yu the most crazy. What he saw most now was that some people said Jiang Wei was good, and they were not even willing to mention Jiang Wei's name. Xianyu deliberately said that if Yan Yu retreated like this this time, he would be ridiculed by Jiang Wei, which immediately stinged Yan Yu's most sensitive nerves.

Maybe Yan Yu doesn't care if he is ridiculed by others, but if Jiang Wei is ridiculed, Yan Yu will definitely not accept it. Jiang Wei is not in Hanzhong, and Yan Yu will still be under his control everywhere. This has long made Yan Yu angry. How could he be mocked by Jiang Wei?

When Yan Yu heard this, he was silent. Xianyu continued: "Ziwu Valley is difficult to move forward. Even though the Wei army came from Ziwu Valley, it was already extremely tired. Therefore, after arriving at Lecheng City, it would surround and not attack. The Wei army is only temporarily resting and will launch an attack after recovering its strength. Therefore, the governor not only does not need to retreat, but also needs to speed up and arrive at Lecheng as early as possible. Taking advantage of the exhaustion of the Wei army, he will win the battle in one fell swoop. The governor is worried that Wang She will not be willing to fight, which is actually unnecessary. Defeating the enemy is a good opportunity to make contributions. How could Wang She watch the huge amount of credit be lost and indifferent? The governor should be guarding against Wang She to come out to grab the merits, rather than worrying that he will not go out to fight."

Yan Yu savored it carefully. The salted fish was very reasonable. First of all, the Wei army had just come from Ziwu Valley. The road to Ziwu Valley is the most difficult among all Qinling valley roads. No one is passing by. The Wei army probably chose to march from this road by surprise. However, if you take such a dangerous road, you will have to lose your skin even if you don’t die.

Although the Wei army walked out of Ziwu Valley, it must have consumed a lot of physical strength and energy, and the entire army was exhausted. Yan Yu's army waited for work and was able to accumulate strength. The physical and energy was the most prosperous time. How could this battle be invincible with one's own strength and the weakness of the enemy?

As for Wang She, although he did not obey Yan Yu's order, if a lot of credit was placed in front of him, Wang She would probably come to rob him like red eyes. This is also the place where Yan Yu should be wary of. This time he sent troops to rescue Lecheng, just for military achievements. If he made a wedding dress for others, wouldn't he be unjustly killed!

Thinking of this, Yan Yu felt a passionate impulse, and even he felt a little strange. This feeling has not been around for many years. It is probably the first time he was so impulsive, it was the time when he just became a captain.

When Yan Yu was in Nanzhong, he participated in the rebellion to suppress the barbarians. It was just a small-scale battle. However, as a captain, Yan Yu was still full of blood and killed several barbarians' heads with his own hands.

After quelling the rebellion, Yan Yu was successfully promoted to General Pingnan, and later he was promoted to the surrendered governor of the Shi and Yong'an governor, becoming a famous figure in the Shu military.

But the higher the status, the passion and impulse in Yan Yu's heart disappeared. He spent more time dealing with the powerful and do things in a frivolous way, and more often seeking power and profit, and never had the passion of coming to the battlefield in person.

After a series of persuasion from Xianyu, Yan Yu seemed to have regained some of the feelings he had back then, so he decided to follow Xianyu's opinion and go to Lecheng to compete with the Wei army.

Yan Yu had always served in the south before and had never participated in the Northern Expedition, so naturally he had never fought with the Wei army. He had only heard of the combat effectiveness of the Wei army and had not experienced it intuitively.

Jiang Wei was defeated repeatedly in the Northern Expedition. In Yan Yu's opinion, this was not just the strength of the Wei army, but the ability of Jiang Wei. If it were him, he would definitely not have suffered so many defeats.

Yan Yu and Jiang Wei stand opposite each other, and even say that they have reached the point of never ending. Anyway, there is me but no one, and there is no one. So after arriving in Hanzhong, Yan Yu still had some idea, that is, what Jiang Wei can't do, he can do, and what Jiang Wei can do, he must do better, so that he has the chance to overwhelm Jiang Wei.

If Yan Yu had gone halfway and had not encountered the Wei army, he would retreat voluntarily, and he would definitely be criticized. How could he be willing to be inferior to others as the governor of Hanzhong? Especially with Jiang Wei's record, Yan Yu had to catch up.

In the end, Yan Yu gave up his plan to retreat and ordered the Shu army to continue moving forward, and accelerated the speed, hoping to arrive at Lecheng as early as possible.

If you want to fight, you have to fight quickly. I think the Wei army has just walked out of Ziwu Valley, which is the most exhausted and weak. If the Shu army can seize this opportunity, the sooner it arrives at Lecheng, the better.

If the Wei army recovers, the Shu army may fall into an unfavorable situation. This slow marching method will definitely not work. Therefore, Yan Yu gave an order to Yang Xin of the front team, asking him to move forward quickly and rush to Lecheng quickly, and strive to enter the battle as soon as possible.

After receiving the order, Yang Xin naturally did not dare to delay any further. He immediately ordered the vanguard to speed up the marching and quickly fight to Lecheng.

The acceleration of the Shu army significantly increased its speed. The march on the second day was obviously much longer than the first day. At noon, they had already arrived at Yelangyu, which was less than twenty miles away from Lecheng. According to the speed of the Shu army, it is estimated that a great war will break out in just one or two hours.
