The efficiency of the Yueqi Camp is naturally unspeakable. It took less than six or seven hours from receiving the order to reach Guancheng. However, despite this, Wen Yang was still one step late. Just a few hours before he arrived at Guancheng, Zhou Tai had just led 5,000 Shu troops to the south of Guancheng and fled to Baishuiguan.

In fact, this is not a big deal about Wen Yang. There is no direct connection between Zhou Tai's escape and Yangping Pass whether Yangping Pass is lost. Instead, after Zhong Hui escaped from the Yinping Bridge, he sent someone to contact Zhou Tai urgently. After all, after Yinping was lost, Zhou Tai, who was stationed in Wujie, became very dangerous. In order to avoid being surrounded and annihilated by the Wei army, Zhong Hui ordered Zhou Tai to lead his army south to Baishui Pass to meet with Zhong Hui's men.

After Sima Lun left Dazhong, he handed over his troops to commander Zhong Hui. Zhou Tai's troops were no exception. They were all commanded by Zhong Hui. Zhong Hui led 25,000 people to guard Dazhong, and 5,000 people were divided into Zhou Tai to guard Wu Street.

The two groups of Ma Long and Qian Hong of the Wei army marched from Didao and Qishan Road respectively. But their preferred targets were Zhong Hui in Dazhong. Ma Long launched two attacks from the front, while Qian Hong turned around behind Zhong Hui, trying to seize Yinping Bridge and trapped Zhong Hui's horsemen in Dazhong and Yinping.

The Wei army's move was very insidious. If Yinping Bridge was controlled by the Wei army, Zhong Hui's men would face the danger of the destruction of the entire army.

At the critical moment, Zhong Hui was quick to learn his wisdom and adopted the strategy of vocalizing the east and attacking the west, bluffing his voice, trying to take Kong Hangu.

Qian Hong was worried that the retreat was cut off by the Shu army, so he had to turn around and prepare to withdraw his troops. However, he had just turned back halfway, but he got the news that Zhong Hui had a fake shot and headed straight to Yinping Bridge.

Qian Hong realized that he had been fooled, so he hurriedly turned back and rushed straight to Yinping Bridgehead, but in the end it was half a day late. When he arrived at the bridgehead, Zhong Hui had already led his army to jump out of the Wei army's encirclement and left.

After Ma Long and Qian Hong met at the Yinping Bridgehead, they did not immediately pursue Zhong Hui. After all, the transition to Baishui Pass was beyond the original plan of the Wei army. If the attack continued, the first thing to consider is the problem of logistics supply, and the second thing to guard against Zhong Hui's tricks and ambush.

After all, in the battle for the Yinping Bridge, the Wei army had already been on Zhong Hui. The Baishui Pass area has a complex terrain and no one can guarantee that Zhong Hui did not have an ambush in this area. Therefore, Ma Long and Qian Hong must consider the next military action after they meet with Deng Ai's army.

After Zhong Hui broke through the Yinping Bridge, he immediately ordered Zhoutai, who was far away in Wujie, to give up Wudu immediately and go south to Baishui Pass to join Zhong Hui's army.

The defense of the northern line of the Shu army basically revolves around the Hanzhong and Dazhong points. As for Wudu County, it was only stationed and defended as the flank of Yinping. Now Yinping has been lost, and the Zhoutai in Wujie has fallen into an unfavorable situation. If the troops cannot be withdrawn in time, they may be trapped in the siege of the Wei army.

This is just the situation where Yinping is lost. The situation is unfavorable. If Yangping Pass in the east of Wudu is also lost, it will be truly terrible. Once Yangping Pass is lost, Zhoutai on the other side of Wu Street may not even have a chance to break through.

Although Zhong Hui was not very clear about the situation in Hanzhong, the five thousand people in Zhoutai were all Simalun's soldiers. Before Simalun left, he entrusted the army to him. Zhong Hui had to ensure their safety as much as possible and would explain to Simalun in the future.

Although Zhoutai was not attacked by the Wei army in Wujie, the entire Wudu County was still calm, but Hanzhong and Dazhong were in full swing. Zhoutai was in the middle and was still clear about the news on both sides, so he seemed particularly nervous. Although he was watching the fire from the other side, he might have caused the fire to burn him at any time.

Zhoutai has few soldiers and horses in his hands, and it is difficult to defend Wudu, so he has no spare time to help Hanzhong or Dazhong. Therefore, no matter how fierce the war between the two sides is, Zhoutai has no idea of ​​going to rescue him.

On the contrary, his own way out in Wudu has become a problem that Zhoutai needs to consider. If there is no problem with the defense of Hanzhong and Dazhong, then Zhoutai, who is in the middle of the two places, naturally has no need to worry.

But if the military situation in Hanzhong or Dazhong is in urgent need, then Zhou Tai will be embarrassed in this position. Withdraw the troops, he has not been attacked by the Wei army. This is also suspected of evacuating without authorization, and will be subject to military law.

But if they do not evacuate, if there is a place in Dazhong and Hanzhong, it will cause the defenders of Wujie to fall into an extremely passive situation.

After learning that the Wei army had launched a large-scale attack on Shu Kingdom, Zhoutai immediately found a way to contact Zhong Hui. However, since the Wei army first entered the Qiang Road, the contact channel between Wujie and Dazhong was cut off, and the people sent by Zhoutai could not pass the Wei army's blockade line and could only retreat.

This time, Zhou Tai was a little blind and did not contact Zhong Hui. He could not act without permission. So Zhou Tai had to hold his troops and see the situation before talking.

But whether it is Hanzhong or Dazhong, the situation on both sides can be described as a thousand miles a day. Often when Zhoutai receives the so-called latest news, there are earth-shaking changes in Hanzhong and Dazhong.

Yan Yu, the governor of Hanzhong, was ambushed by the Wei army in Yelangyu, and almost destroyed the entire army. Yan Yu himself became a prisoner of the Wei army. The situation in Hanzhong completely collapsed, and the situation became quite unfavorable to the Shu army.

The Dazhong side seemed even worse. There was news that Wei and his men went south from Qishan Road to attack Yinping Bridgehead, intending to cut off Zhong Hui's retreat.

When he heard this news, Zhoutai was completely unable to sit still. The defense in Hanzhong was guarded by the original Shu army, while Yinping was one with Zhoutai. If something happened to Yinping, Zhoutai's situation in Wudu would become more difficult.

After thinking about it, Zhou Tai felt that he could not sit still and wait for death. At most, he was stationed in Wu Street as a foil. The Wei army did not attack Wu Street first was a proof of it. Perhaps the number of people stationed in Wu Street had not yet fallen into the Wei army's eyes.

But this does not mean that the Wei army will not attack Wujie, but it is just that it is not enough to take care of it for the time being. The Wei army needs to concentrate its forces to attack Hanzhong and Dazhong. Once they succeed in these two places, the Shu army in Wujie will be fish on the chopping board and will be slaughtered by the Wei army.
