In fact, Fu Qian's escape was entirely due to some problems in the cooperation between the two groups of the Wei army. When Guo Huai complained about Xiahou Ba's lack of effort, Xiahou Ba also complained about Guo Huai's failure to cooperate with him inside and outside.

Xiahou Ba's original plan was to cooperate inside and outside, and attack from both front and rear, but when he rushed to the back mountain, he discovered that although the Wei army could control the high ground behind Huaishu Pass, the terrain was indeed higher than Huaishu Pass.

cut.

But what makes Xiahou Ba frustrated is that there is a natural crack between this highland and Huaishu Pass, which is two to three feet wide and bottomless. Except for a cableway connecting them, there is almost no connection between the two.

Connected.

It is almost impossible to pass through this small ropeway. As long as the Shu army sends a few people to guard there, the Wei army will not have the slightest chance. It is true that one man is in charge of the barrier and ten thousand people cannot get through it. He is eager to succeed.

When Xiahou Ba arrived here, he realized that this was a desperate situation. He wanted to use his strength but could not, so he could only watch the fire from the other side.

Even if the arrow is shot, it is just a scratch and cannot play a decisive role.

However, the Wei army's front and rear attacks made Fu Qian feel the threat of death. It seemed that Huaishu Pass could not be defended.

Since it cannot be defended, it is necessary to find an opportunity to break out. The ropeway behind it was originally the best escape route for the Shu army, but now it is firmly controlled by Xiahou Ba. Fu Qian is simply trying to break out from here.

Try to reach the sky.

Therefore, if Fu Qian wanted to break through, he had to face Guo Huai's men head-on. There was no shortcut, so Fu Qian tried his best to kill as many enemies as possible in the front, looking for an opening where he could break through.

When he saw that Guo Huai's attack was thwarted and he relaxed a little, he immediately seized the opportunity and led all the Shu army to forcefully break out.

Although the Wei army's men and horses occupies an absolute advantage, the tiger also takes a nap. Guo Huai thought that Fu Qian would definitely stand by and wait for reinforcements, so when he devoted all his strength to the attack, he did not pay attention to the details of defense, which was tantamount to spear strength.

The shield was weak, and Fu Qian found a flaw.

Moreover, the Wei army's attack was in the shape of a fan, and when Fu Qian broke through, he concentrated his firepower on one point to break the surface. Fu Qian fought his way out of the heavy siege of the Wei army and walked away.

For the Wei army, this was almost an embarrassing victory. They controlled the opponent in a narrow area with ten times the enemy's strength, but failed to completely annihilate the opponent. In the end, the opponent escaped.

Guo Huai was willing to pursue him, but the Shu army was good at fighting in the mountains. Once they got out of trouble, it would be like letting a tiger return to the mountain or a dragon returning to the sea. The Wei army was simply out of reach.

The failure to annihilate all the opponents this time had both subjective and objective problems, but in the final analysis, it was still a matter of cooperation between the two groups. Since the two vanguards seemed to be inseparable, there was no cooperation at all, and they failed to successfully encircle and annihilate this group.

The Shu army was not an accident.

Xiahou Ba's eyes could almost spit out fire. It is true that his misjudgment of the terrain prevented him from taking the Shu army's retreat, but on the front battlefield, Guo Huai, who had 8,000 troops, failed to block the road and let Shu

The army just walked away, they are simply incompetent trash!

Xiahou Ba's original goal was to kill every single one of the Shu army, so that no one could escape, and no one would report the news to the rising defenders. In this case, the Wei army could continue to hide the truth from the enemy.

In one fell swoop, the important town was taken over and the situation was prosperous.

But now all the plans have come to nothing. The fleeing Wei army will soon escape back to Xingshi, and the defenders of Xingshi will also know about the Wei army's invasion as soon as possible. What is in front of the Wei army will be

It is a copper wall and an iron wall that are waiting for you. You can imagine that as soon as you come out of the entrance of the Suang Valley and greet the Wei army, it will be a fierce battle!

"General Wang, I am incompetent. I have failed to meet your high hopes and lost the Sophora Tree Pass." Fu Qian, whose clothes and armor were torn and covered with embroidery, was in a state of embarrassment, returned to the situation, and rushed to Wang Ping as soon as possible to apologize.

But Wang Ping didn't seem to care about the loss of Huaishu Pass. He nodded slightly and said: "The Wei people came very quickly! Huaishu Pass was lost? Well, that doesn't matter. Fu Zhonglang is lucky to be able to return safely. After all,

Please tell me clearly what the situation is."

Fu Qian then told Wang Ping everything about the battle at Huaishuguan. After hearing this, Wang Ping burst out laughing and said, "If it hadn't been for this Wei general who led the army to stay, General Fu would have said nothing.

You may have escaped from the siege. It seems that you really need to thank this general."

Fu Qian was a little surprised and said: "The leading general of the Wei people is Guo Huai, the governor of Yongzhou. The one who is trying to attack in the back mountain is the guard Xiahou Ba. Is it true as General Wang said that the general's escape this time is thanks to Guo Huai's help?"

Already?"

Wang Ping said: "If they are really these two people, it is normal. Guo Huai and Xiahou Ba have a bad relationship and are incompatible with each other. It is an open secret in Guanzhong. Fu Zhonglang was able to escape death this time, probably only one of the two.

Maybe it’s because there’s no tacit understanding between us.”

The secretaries sent by the Shu Kingdom to Guanzhong were not just for free. They even had a good idea of ​​the personalities, temperaments and relationships of the main generals of the Wei army in Guanzhong. Therefore, Wang Ping had already guessed when he heard that it was Guo Huai and Xiahou Ba.

Eight, nine are inseparable from ten.

After the death of Zhuge Liang, Wang Ping has been serving as the important post of Hanzhong Prefect. Although Wang Ping does not know a few Chinese characters, he handles official affairs in an orderly manner. All the seals recorded by the record office are reasonable.

, not to mention more concessions than those who are well-educated.

Wang Ping is a native of Yizhou, but he did not serve as an official in Yizhou before. Instead, he served as a lieutenant under Cao Cao. During the Battle of Hanzhong, Wang Ping was captured by Liu Bei and surrendered to Liu Bei, becoming a Shu Han prince.

One of the generals.

At that time, the Shu Han Dynasty had bright stars, and the Five Tiger Generals were famous all over the world. Wang Ping has always been unknown. He started from General Yamen and has been now the former Supervisor of the Army and the General of Zhenbei.

Wang Ping was reused, which can be traced back to Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, when Ma Ji lost his head in Jieting. However, Wang Ping, as a deputy general, was reused and promoted. From then on, he rose through the ranks and was promoted repeatedly.

This is of course a reflection of Wang Ping's ability. How could the wise Zhuge Liang allow the existence of useless weapons? Wang Ping accompanied Zhuge Liang on the Northern Expedition several times and made great achievements in battle. He became a stand-alone general, alongside Ma Zhong and Deng Zhi.
