When the Han troops in Liliu City cheered in unison for Jieting's victory, Guo Huai didn't believe it at first. Even though Zhuge Liang was talented, there were tens of thousands of elite troops in Zhanghe, including more than just cavalry. How could ten thousand people be defeated by Zhuge Liang's infantry?

Moreover, Zhang He was a famous general who had been fighting for decades. How could he be defeated by the Shu army in a single battle in the wild? This is simply unbelievable.

However, when Gao Xiang displayed the captured general flags and command flags of the Wei army on the top of the city, Guo Huai couldn't help but believe that the general flags and command flags were important tokens in the army and would not fall into the enemy's hands unless absolutely necessary.

Now that these flags are in the hands of the Shu army, it means that the own army at Jieting was indeed defeated. Even if it was not a big defeat as the Shu army said, the Shu army at least had a small victory.

"Hey, what should we do now? If General Junyi can't win, the thieves will become more serious. If the confrontation lasts for a long time, the hearts of the people of Longyou will really not be with us, the Wei Dynasty." Looking at the ecstatic people on the top of the city. Han Jun, Guo Huai shook his head feebly.

"Send the order to withdraw the troops."

Guo Huai led his troops back to Shanggui. If he continues to fight, even if he takes Liliucheng, it will not be of much use. Moreover, once Jieting is defeated, the Han army will have spare strength to send troops to rescue them. Maybe the Han army reinforcements will arrive, and if they don't It's too late to leave.

The Han army on the city wall cheered even louder after seeing the Wei army withdrawing. Seeing this, Gao Xiang couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.

Without warning, the Wei army made a surprise attack at night. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the small town would have been lost immediately. Even so, the Wei army attacked the city wall, and the situation was once in danger.

Fortunately, the prime minister won the victory at Jieting, otherwise he might not be able to defend the city, and he would be severely punished by military law.

"What a risk, what a risk!"

Gao Xiang sighed again, and immediately sent scout horses to follow the Wei army to monitor Guo Huai's movements. He also quickly wrote a letter and sent it to the street pavilion to inform Zhuge Liang of the military situation.

Guo Huai led his troops back to Shanggui and happened to meet the messenger sent by Zhang He. Now he finally understood the details of the battle in Jieting in the past few days. He knew that his army was defeated by Zhuge Liang and could not retreat. , he couldn't help looking up to the sky and sighing: "The thieves are becoming more and more powerful. Is Longyou really no longer owned by the country?"

On the other side, Zhuge Liang also quickly received Gao Xiang's report. He was finally relieved when he learned that Guo Huai had retreated. He smiled and said to Yang Qing, Yang Yi, Ma Di and others who were sitting below: "Liuliu City has turned the corner, our army has turned the corner. It's a happy event that the flank is safe, but just so you know, today's happy event is not the only one."

"Oh?" Yang Qing asked in surprise: "Prime Minister, I wonder if there is any other happy event. Why don't we know about it?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Last night there was a letter from Yuan Fa, saying that Gao Gang, the guard of Cao Wei in Qishan Fort, recently wanted to surrender to our great Han Dynasty. He asked me how to deal with it?"

"It seems that Gao Gang can't stand the siege anymore. Also, General Chen has been besieging Qishan Fort for some time. Even if there is some food stored in the fort, it will be exhausted in these days. Plus Longyou Most of the counties are in my hands, and Zhang He and other reinforcements have not been seen for a long time. It is normal for this person to want to surrender under internal and external difficulties." Yang Qing analyzed.

Ma Su also agreed with Yang Qing's statement: "Prime Minister, what Mingzhi said is very reasonable. Now that our army has defeated Zhang He in Jieting, we can tell Gao Gang this news. I believe that this person's heart will be more determined to submit to our great Han Dynasty."

of."

Zhuge Liang nodded: "Yes, that makes sense." He then said to Hu Ji, the chief secretary: "Weidu, please draft a reply for me, allowing Gao Gang to return to the Han Dynasty anyway, and ordering him to withdraw from Qishan Fort and go to Lucheng.

General Liu Yan will listen to the instructions, and all the officers and non-commissioned officers in the department will have the same salary and salary as before. As for Qishan Fort, Yuan Fa will lead the troops to garrison it."

"No." Hu Ji accepted the order and went to write a reply.

After Hu Ji left, Zhuge Liang asked Yang Yi again: "Master Wei, can the food and grass be delivered as scheduled today?"

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, General Jiang and General Huang have sent people to report in advance in the morning, and the escort army will arrive at the street pavilion before Unity hour in the afternoon." Yang Yi quickly replied.

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Good. In this way, our army will no longer have to worry about anything. When Zhang He knows that the food route has been cut off, our Han army can launch a fatal blow to him."

"Based on the fact that Wei Qi returned day and night to report the military situation, Zhang He would have known that General Yuan Jian had occupied Fanxukou within two days at most and one day at the fastest." Yang Qingyan said.

Zhuge Liang said: "Yes, so we can rest for another day or two. You must cherish this rare time. There will be another bloody battle in a few days."

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, we will do our best to help the army wipe out the Wei thieves." Everyone responded in unison after hearing this.

"Okay, if you have such ambitions, why worry about not being able to fulfill the late emperor's last wish and revive the Han Dynasty?" Zhuge Liang said confidently.

In the afternoon, Jiang Wei and Huang Xi successfully delivered a large amount of grain and grass to the street pavilion. With this batch of grain and grass, the morale of the army was more stable and the morale was higher. Zhuge Liang immediately ordered the slaughter of pigs and sheep at night to reward the three armies. The soldiers all cheered after hearing this

Inspire.

In the evening, Zhuge Liang not only had dinner with the generals, but also specifically allowed everyone to have a drink. At the dinner, Yang Qing finally met Jiang Wei, the last general of the Han Dynasty in history.

When Jiang Wei rebelled against Wei and returned to the Han Dynasty, Yang Qing had been ordered to capture Longxi County, so the two of them never met.

After recapturing Longxi County, Yang Qing led his troops back to Shanggui to assemble. He originally thought he could see Jiang Wei here, but unfortunately he was sent back to Jicheng by Zhuge Liang to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, so the two did not see him again in Shanggui.

Yang Qing has always admired Jiang Wei, the tragic hero who fought to the last moment for the survival of the Han Dynasty. Today, seeing him at the street pavilion fulfilled one of his long-cherished wishes. Looking sideways, he saw that Jiang Wei was a talented man with an elegant temperament.

It does not lose its heroic and martial demeanor, and it truly lives up to its reputation as a unicorn in the sky.

When Yang Qing was looking at Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei was also looking at Yang Qing. Before returning to the Han Dynasty, he had already heard of Yang Qing, the prefect of Hanzhong, and knew that he was both civilized and military, with extraordinary intelligence, and that he was the first-class figure in Shu.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After returning to the Han Dynasty, Jiang Wei learned more about the lives of famous figures in the Han army. After learning about Yang Qing's deeds, he couldn't help but be amazed.

As one of the most outstanding young men in Longyou, Jiang Wei certainly had his own arrogance. He originally thought that he would be as good as Yang Qing based on his talents, but now he had to feel inferior.

After Yang Qing's victory in Longxi was reported back to the Chinese army, Jiang Wei admired him even more. Jiang Wei had always known about You Chu's ability, but he didn't expect that this man actually surrendered to Yang Qing in a few days. This really made him

Surprised, he thought that if he had gone to collect Longxi, he would not have been so quick.

"My lord, Jiang Wei, I have heard of your name for a long time. How lucky you are to see me today!" Jiang Wei came over and raised his glass in toast.

Yang Qing smiled and said: "I don't dare, I have heard of General Boyue's name Tianshui Qilin."

"The countrymen love me and give me this false name. I don't dare to live up to it. The king is the real talent." Jiang Weiqian said.

Zhuge Liang, who was sitting on the throne, heard the conversation between the two and said with a smile: "Haha, one of you is a hero from Yizhou and the other is a sergeant from Liangzhou. Both of them are rare talents. You can get closer to each other."

After a pause, he said to Jiang Wei: "Bo Yue, you don't know yet. In fact, before our army appeared in Longyou, Mingzhi had told me your name, and he also specifically pointed out that you had long wanted to serve the Han Dynasty."

"Ah, Yang Junhou thinks so highly of Wei, I'm so ashamed of myself!" Jiang Wei exclaimed.

He was really shocked. He didn't expect Yang Qing to know the deepest secret in his heart. He had never told anyone about his love for the Han Dynasty. How did Yang Qing know about it?

He was not only very curious about this, but even a little scared. After all, he had never known Yang Qing before. One of them was in Longyou and the other in Yizhou. It was really scary that they knew the secret in his heart despite being thousands of miles apart.

Already.
