Jiang Wei is familiar with the geography of Hanzhong. For him, this is his home court. He can fully take advantage of the favorable weather, location and people to perform to his heart's content.

With all three advantages taken, can this battle still be invincible?

After devouring the small forces of the Wei army, Jiang Wei was not too satisfied. He was eager to achieve fame and was looking forward to playing a big game instead of playing a small game like now.

What makes Jiang Wei covetous is the main force of the Wei army that besieged Seoul. It was an army personally commanded by Wei's general Cao Shuang. If he could defeat this army and capture Cao Shuang alive, it would be a great achievement.

However, before Fei's reinforcements arrived, it would be very difficult for Jiang Wei's troops alone to kill the main force of the Wei army, which numbered nearly 50,000 to 60,000 people. Therefore, Jiang Wei did not immediately act like a snake swallowing elephant.

Even if Cao Shuang took the initiative to evacuate, Jiang Wei did not pursue him, but just let them leave.

Jiang Wei has already locked the target of the attack, which is the Xiahou Ba tribe that has withdrawn from Yang'an Pass. Now after the battle of Yang'an Pass, the Xiahou Ba tribe has less than 30,000 people. With such a scale, neither fat nor thin, it is suitable.

Jiang Wei's appetite.

Xiahou Ba's tribe came from Yang'an Pass in the far west of Hanzhong, which was the longest journey and naturally took the longest time. Of course Jiang Wei knew that their purpose was to join Cao Shuang in Seoul, but in fact, Xiahou Ba's wish

It was a complete failure. At this time, Cao Shuang was as frightened as a bird and did not dare to stay in the Hancheng area. He led his army towards Lecheng without waiting to meet up with Xiahou Ba.

Jiang Wei had no chance to defeat Cao Shuang, but he unexpectedly got the opportunity to block Xiahou Ba. Jiang Wei, who was eager to make great achievements, naturally refused to give up this opportunity in vain, so he actively deployed defenses in the Seoul area, preparing for one fell swoop.

Annihilate all Xiahou Ba.

It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure ten of them. Jiang Wei has always pursued this kind of annihilation war. Even when dealing with a small group of Wei troops, he would go all out to fight an annihilation war as much as possible so that no one could escape.

If the annihilation of those small groups of Wei troops can be regarded as cutting off a few of Cao Shuang's fingers, then if Xiahou Ba can be successfully annihilated this time, it will at least be equivalent to cutting off one of Cao Shuang's arms, which will be a huge blow to the Wei army.

A serious injury.

"For more than twenty years, Huang Hansheng was ranked among the Five Tiger Generals by killing Xia Houyuan. Now if he can kill his son again, it would be a miracle." Jiang Wei squinted his eyes and looked west.

Looking out, a slight smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.

More than 20 years ago, Xia Houyuan died in Dingjun Mountain, fulfilling the reputation of veteran Huang Zhong. Now that his son Xiahou Ba came to Hanzhong to die, Jiang Wei was naturally willing to send him to reunite with Xia Houyuan under Jiuquan.

At this time, the Chinese army came to report: "General Qi, left general Zhang Yi and right general Liao Hua each led 10,000 troops to come for reinforcements."

Jiang Wei was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly came out of the camp to greet him.

After Fei evacuated from Yang'an Pass, he led his army into the trail and headed straight for Dingjun Mountain. However, the trail was narrow and the entire army could not pass through for a while, so Fei sent Zhang Yi and Liao Hua each with 10,000 troops and lightly equipped troops.

Moving forward, he led a large group of men and horses and escorted the grain, grass and baggage, and moved slowly behind.

When Zhang Yi and Liao Hua saw Jiang Wei, they both dismounted and came forward to bow.

Jiang Wei took the two men's hands and laughed loudly and said: "Bo Gong, Yuan Jian came at the right time. He can help me capture and kill Xiahou Ba, the general who rebelled against the Wei Dynasty."

Xiahou Ba's side has nearly 30,000 troops, which is roughly the same as the troops led by Jiang Wei. Even if Jiang Wei adds Wang Ping's troops, it may be difficult to completely annihilate Xiahou Ba. Now Zhang Yihe

Liao Hua arrived first, which could make up for Jiang Wei's lack of troops, and Jiang Wei became more confident in fighting the battle successfully.

Traveling quickly, the army led by Xiahou Ba was not far from Seoul.

In addition to Zhou Yue's troops, along the way, Cao Liang also discovered two other places where the Shu army was completely wiped out. In each place, about a thousand Shu troops were killed. They were also in the same wilderness with corpses and no one was cleaning the battlefield.

Obviously, the tragic encounter of the Zhou Yue tribe was not the only one. Now the armies that came out to perform tasks alone in Hanzhong were all attacked in a planned manner by the Shu army. Once attacked, they were completely wiped out. It can be seen that the Shu army's actions were premeditated.

Concentrate superior forces and defeat the enemy one by one. Jiang Wei's tactics are really very familiar.

However, what makes Cao Liang strange is that along the way, all he encountered were battlefield ruins and corpses, and he did not encounter any Shu troops. It was as if those Shu troops who had attacked had disappeared at this moment.

Is it because they have not discovered this Shu army or is it because the Shu army is so large that the Shu army cannot eat it, so they took the initiative to avoid it?

It is obviously impossible not to discover it. The size of this Shu army is not small. If Jiang Wei is not deaf or blind, it is impossible to turn a blind eye.

However, along the way, he did not encounter any form of attack from the Shu army. Xiahou Ba was lucky. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the Wei army camp in Seoul, Xiahou Ba's tense nerves could finally relax a little.

But Cao Liang did not relax. Based on his understanding of Jiang Wei, he was known for his boldness. It was really not Jiang Wei's style to leave such a large piece of fat without doing anything.

If nothing goes wrong, Jiang Wei's attack will happen soon. If Jiang Wei doesn't show up, then his surname will definitely not be Jiang.

But now we are getting closer to Seoul. If Jiang Wei takes action here, it will obviously be unwise. He will easily be attacked from the front and rear by the Wei army. This is a taboo in the art of war.

Cao Liang had a bad premonition in his heart. If Jiang Wei dared to take action here, he would definitely be confident. From this point of view, Cao Shuang's army might no longer be in Seoul.

Although the possibility of being annihilated is small, the possibility of retreat is infinitely high. Cao Shuang may have seen that the situation was unfavorable, and in order to avoid the destruction of the entire army, it is not surprising at all that he made a retreat at this time.

"Xiahou protects the army, I'm afraid it's impossible to get to Seoul, or there's an ambush ahead."

General Xiahou Ba said doubtfully: "It's unlikely. There are still fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses in the camp. No matter how powerful Jiang Wei is, he can't possibly defeat such a large army of troops, right?"

While the two were talking, a scout came to report that the Wei army's troops were spotted ten miles ahead and were attacking them quickly, almost within a moment.
