Yang Qing saw Jiang Wei's curiosity and a faint fear, and smiled helplessly. He just took advantage of the opportunity to know history, but this time it seemed that he had used it too much, which scared a smart person like Jiang Wei.

This is not good, I have to think of an explanation to make it happen.

"Haha, the Qing Dynasty had sent people to Guanlong to explore the truth and famous figures. I have already known Bo Yue's life and deeds. I have long known the Lord of Bo Yue to resist the rebellion of the Qiang people and sacrifice his life for the country. He was unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness. Therefore, I guess that Bo Yue would be loyal and kind-hearted after he became a loyal and kind person and would be determined to be orthodox in the Han Dynasty, and our army could take the opportunity to pull him back to the right path.

Sure enough, Bo Yue really rebelled against Wei Guihan, which made Yang's guess not fail, otherwise Yang would have made a fool of himself in front of the prime minister." Yang Qing explained in a relaxed tone.

Jiang Wei felt relieved after hearing this, and remembered that he had been a Wei official again. After all, he couldn't help but blush and raised his glass and said, "So that's it. Tian Xingwei did not disappoint the Prime Minister and Junhou. Please."

"Boe, please." Yang Qing felt relieved when he saw that he was fooled and returned a greeting happily.

The two chatted for a few more times, and the relationship gradually became familiar. When they learned that Jiang Wei was going to return to Jicheng to transport grain and grass tomorrow, Yang Qing felt that it was useless. Jiang Wei's ability was mainly military affairs, so it was a waste to stay behind to supervise grain.

He originally wanted to make a suggestion to Zhuge Liang and leave Jiang Wei's army to listen to it, but then he thought that Zhuge Liang had his own intention to use people like this. Jiang Wei was a native of Tianshui and now he has become a warehouse clerk in the Prime Minister's Office. It is indeed very appropriate for him to transport the local food and grass in Longyou. Moreover, Jiang Wei had just surrendered to the Han Dynasty, so it was a bit too fast to let him lead the troops in the army.

"Forget it, Zhuge Liang, a talented talent like Jiang Wei, has his own arrangements, and I don't need to worry about it. However, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can still transfer him to your own command. With this person helping you, it will be easier to fight yourself." Yang Qing thought secretly.

Fanxukou is the most important mountain pass among the roads of Longshan. When Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu personally led his command to Wei Xiang, Wei Xiang asked his generals to guard the Wating Road, Jitou Road, and Longdi Road. He himself led a large army to guard Fanxukou, which shows the importance of this road entrance.

Three days ago, Liao Hua led 5,000 troops around the path and successfully arrived at Fanxukou. Here, only hundreds of people who were left behind by Zhang He's army. The Han army easily captured the Wei village under the raid. The Wei army was either annihilated or captured, and never escaped.

Then, Liao Hua, according to the predetermined strategy, sent several scouts to Wating Road and other Longkou to inquire about the news, and asked the soldiers to expand the camp on the basis of Weizhai, build fortifications, and wait for the arrival of the Wei army.

But what Liao Hua did not expect was that the Wei army came so quickly. In just two or three days, thousands of Wei cavalry came from the west.

At this moment, looking at the Wei army outside the camp, Liao Hua said in his heart that it was so dangerous. Fortunately, the Prime Minister made a clever plan to lead his troops here early, otherwise a few days later, his rude words would not be able to reach his own hands.

"There are actually a large number of Shu troops here. When did they come from?" He Di looked at the Han army who was waiting for the battle in front of him and was shocked.

He originally thought that guarding Longkou food roads was a relatively simple task, but he didn't expect that something went wrong before he took the first step, which was really a headache.

"Hurry up, send someone back to report this matter to General Zuo." He Di quickly ordered the deputy general.

Soon, a team of cavalry turned back to Jieting. A captain stepped forward and said, "General, how should we act now? Should we withdraw or attack?"

"Retreat? Do you know what it means for the Shu army to occupy Fanxukou?"

Before the captain could reply, He Di shouted angrily: "It means that our food supply route has almost been cut off by the Shu army. In a few days, our 20,000 army will fall into a shortage of food, and then we will face a catastrophe."

"Yes, I'm humble and clear, I understand..." Seeing He Di so angry, the captain was frightened for a moment and did not dare to say more.

He Di's eyes were glaring, his face was ferocious, and he said fiercely: "Sorry all the troops to prepare and follow me to attack."

At this time, the deputy general who returned to the front army dissuaded: "General, the entrance of this valley is very narrow. There is a Shu army standing in front of him, and there are Shu army crossbowmen guarding the mountain peaks on both sides. It is extremely unfavorable for our army to charge over it. If it is a strong attack, it will inevitably lead to heavy casualties.

Moreover, I see that the Shu army is not less than four or five thousand people on the mountain and down the mountain. Our army has only three thousand troops and horses, and we have not brought any siege equipment. It would be useless to insist on attacking. Not only can we not capture this Xukou, but we may also put these three thousand elite cavalry in. If so, how should we hand over to the left?"

He Di gradually calmed down after hearing this and thought to himself: "Yes, the army has lost troops and generals in succession. The 50,000 army is now only more than 20,000, and the cavalry is only six or seven thousand. Therefore, the three thousand cavalry in his hands must not be easily damaged, and it must preserve its vitality for the army."

After thinking clearly, He Di asked in a slow tone: "In your opinion, how should we do it?"

"It's better to set up camp first and wait for the changes. General Zuo will be anxious to cut off the food route. Just wait for General Zuo to reply, and we will follow the order." The deputy general said: "The last general has made it clear. The messenger must go back day and night to report. They will only be ordered back for one day. We can still wait for a day if they think about it."

He Di nodded: "Well, you said it well, just do it like this. I ordered the troops to retreat three miles and set up camp."

"No." The deputy general held his fists and took the order.

At the side of the Zuoshan Mountain, Liao Hua secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Wei army retreating. Although he was not afraid of the Wei army's attack, it would be better to have one less fight. He then recruited deputy general Li Sheng and asked him to arrange people to go to Jieting to report the situation here to Zhuge Liang.

Fanxukou was only more than one hundred miles away from Jieting. Each of the Wei army messengers carried three war horses and took turns to go on. The horses were not stopped. It took only five or six hours to get back.

When Zhang He learned that the Han army had guarded Fanxukou, his eyes turned dark and almost fainted. Fortunately, the guards on the side saw the opportunity and stepped forward to help him back to their seats.

After taking the hot tea, Zhang He finally came to his senses and quickly ordered the generals to come over to discuss matters. After a while, the generals arrived and all panicked when they learned the whole story.

Everyone knows what the cut-off of the food road means to the army. Now they cannot break through Jieting and go south to Tianshui and other places to eat, and they cannot continue to stay in place to confront the Han army, because the grain reserves in the army can only last for seven or eight days. If there is no supply, the army will be defeated in a few days without fighting.

"Zhuge Liangzhi is ahead of me, and all the things expected are before us. This person has the ability of unpredictable gods and ghosts, and I am not as good as possible." Zhang He sighed.

He was confident in leading a large army to rescue Longyou. Even though the Han army had a strong siege in the city and ground forces before, he only thought that the number of generals of Longyou were attacked by Zhuge Liang, not because the Wei army was defeated by the Han army, nor how high the military talent Zhuge Liang had.

Because in his impression, Zhuge Liang was just a good prime minister who was good at guarding the country and appeaseing the people. He never heard that he could still lead the army to win the battle in front of the two armies.

Even in the Hanzhong War in the past, Zhuge Liang only sat in Chengdu for Liu Bei to eat enough food and soldiers, and did the errands of Xiao He in the early Han Dynasty. Why has he become Han Xin now?

Didn’t it be said that the famous general Wei Yu of Shu was a small country? Why did Guan Yu and Liu Bei die and another powerful commander emerge in Shu Han? And looking at his way of using troops, he is even more above Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

After repeated blows, Zhang He was a little suspicious of his life. He sat in the handsome position with a tired face and shook his head weakly.
