After a while, Wang Duan made a sound and broke the silence: "General, the lower officials think that there is no chance of winning by attacking the troops here in Chang'an alone, and reinforcements must be dispatched from other places."

"Deploy reinforcements from other places?" Cao Zhen asked with his eyes narrowed, ""Where should we draw troops from in your opinion?"

"It is definitely too late to mobilize troops from a distance. Only by dispatching reinforcements from the two closest places in Meicheng can we relieve the danger of near fire."

Cao Zhen nodded slightly when he heard this, touching his beard while thinking about whether Wang Duan’s proposal was feasible.

He had not reacted yet, and he didn't expect that the other side would be annoyed Deng En, and he only sneered: "Wang Mingting said it lightly. From martial arts, the dispatch of troops in Meicheng was naturally timely. But Zhuge Liang found that 30,000 soldiers were on the Wei River line. If the troops on the southern line were reduced at this moment, wouldn't it be just enough to give Zhuge Liang an opportunity to take advantage of it?

What's more, the reason why Yang Qing led his army to threaten Chang'an was that it was very likely to lure us to draw troops from the Wei River line. If we really did this, wouldn't we bet on his trick?"

Of course, Wang Duan understood that Deng En's words were mainly aimed at targeting him to avenge the quarrel just now. However, although this person was retaliating against grudges, what he said was not unreasonable, which made him stumped for a moment and wanted to refute it, but there was no reason to stand firm, so he had to bow his head and say nothing.

Deng En was in a good mood and was very proud when he saw this. But before he could be excited for too long, he heard a voice against him slowly ringing in the upper head: "Although Zhuge Liang is a big trouble, Yang Qing is also a danger to his elbows. There is a priority, and it is urgent to destroy Yang Qing, the bandits."

"General, but Zhuge Liang has to be careful, if he is..."

It turned out that the person who spoke was Cao Zhen. When Deng En heard that he seemed to agree with the martial arts, he was mobilizing troops from both places in Meicheng, so he hurriedly clasped his fists to persuade him.

But when he was halfway through his words, Cao Zhen waved his hand to stop him: "I have decided to do it. According to martial arts, it is urgent to transfer troops from the two places of Meicheng. There is no need for too many troops. I can gather a total of 5,000 troops.

General Fei and his team will hold on for a while with their remaining troops for a while. Besides, even if Zhuge Liang's army has abnormal movements, we will be near and we should go back and forth and rescue in time."

"The General is wise."

Everyone had no objection when they heard his thoughts carefully. Even Deng En refuted silently and followed everyone in unison to pray and led the way.

So Cao Zhen immediately sent envoys to Wugong and Meicheng to Qin Ji. The two generals Fei Yao ordered them to send troops back to Chang'an to gather and standby.

Three days later, the five thousand Wei army rushed to Chang'an from Wugong and the second place of Meicheng. Cao Zhen immediately ordered five thousand soldiers and horses from Chang'an, gathered up 10,000 yuan, and went straight to Anling City where Yang Qing was stationed.

Yang Qing was overjoyed. After many days of layout, it was not in vain. Finally, Cao Zhen was forced out of Chang'an.

What is even more surprising is that Cao Zhen really mobilized thousands of soldiers and horses from martial arts. His move means that Yang Qing’s plan has been successful for half, and the rest depends on whether he and Zhuge Liang can seize this rare fighter jet to break the deadlock on the battlefield on the southern front.

Zhuge Liang outside Chen Cang City knew about the Wei army's mobilization one step earlier than Yang Qing. He immediately guessed that Cao Zhen must be unable to withstand Yang Qing's threats outside Chang'an, so he drew troops back to reinforce.

Since the Wei army's actions were as he and Yang Qing had expected, of course he would not miss this opportunity and immediately summoned the generals to discuss military plans and prepared to act according to the plan he and Yang Qing had agreed a few days ago.

"Everyone, according to the spies' reward, Cao Zhen had drawn 4,000 infantrymen from Meicheng yesterday, and one thousand cavalry turned to Chang'an for reinforcements.

In this way, the Wei army had only more than 10,000 troops on the Wei River line, which is a rare fighter opportunity for our army. We must seize it, otherwise we will let Mingzhi and others down on Chang'an efforts."

"The Prime Minister directly ordered the order, but we dared not die if we failed." Zhao Yun, as the leader of the military generals present, was the first to express his opinion.

The others have been patient for a long time these days. Chen Cang was unable to capture them for a long time, which made them quite frustrated. At this moment, they could finally do something big, and they were all eager to try and extremely excited.

"Please give orders from the Prime Minister." Everyone stood up and said in unison.

Zhuge Liang smiled with relief when he saw that the army was motivated, pressed his right hand forward, and signaled everyone to sit down and talk.

"Now our army's strength is almost three times that of the Wei army on the front line of the Wei River. Therefore, we should give full play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. I personally led 20,000 troops to advance eastward, leaving 10,000 troops here to watch the enemy of Chen Cang." Zhuge Liang said slowly.

Guan Xing said: "Advance eastward? The Prime Minister wants to take advantage of the two cities with the young martial arts army?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head and said, "Although the military strength of the two Wugong cities has been greatly reduced, both cities are strong cities. If our army fights hard, will not repeat the story of Chen Cang?"

"The Prime Minister wants to..." Guan Xing frowned, and he could not think of Zhuge Liang's intention.

Jiang Wei, who was in the lower head, suddenly said: "Is the Prime Minister going to attack Chang'an?"

"Haha, Bojo is really quick, but he only guessed half of it." Zhuge Liang smiled.

Everyone was even more confused when they heard this, and they all looked at him and waited for explanation. Zhuge Liang handed the white feather fan in his right hand to his left hand, got up and went to the wooden frame map and pointed to the three places above, Wugong and Chang'an.

"The reason why Cao Zhen drew 5,000 troops from Qicheng and martial arts back to Chang'an was to go out of the city to attack Mingzhi and others. Once Cao Zhen sent troops, there would definitely be not many Wei troops in Chang'an City. As long as my army came to Chang'an City, the chance of breaking the city was very high."

Everyone was lit when they heard this. If they could break through Chang'an in one fell swoop, even if they had no results in other places, then this Northern Expedition could be said to be a complete victory, because Chang'an is not only the core of Guanzhong, but also the old capital of the predecessors. As long as Chang'an returns to Ji Han's hands, there will be great hope of restoring the Han Dynasty.

When they thought of this festival, everyone present was so excited that they wanted to ask for an order to send troops immediately. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang poured a basin of cold water to extinguish their passionate thoughts.

Zhuge Liang sighed lightly and said, "Although this move seems feasible, there is almost no possibility of success. Once Cao Zhen left, he would leave a wise man to defend the city. Although Chang'an has few soldiers, it is a tall and strong city after all, and our army is not sure that it can break through in a short period of time.

Secondly, if our army heads straight to Chang'an, the enemy of Qicheng and Wugong will attack and cut off our retreat. Although our army had the advantage at that time, it would be in danger of being attacked from both sides. If there were any changes, the army would be in danger. I guess Cao Zhen thought of this and then dared to transfer thousands of troops from Qicheng and Wugong.

Third, Chen Cang is four or five hundred miles away from Chang'an, and our army does not have much food and grass. Even if we arrive in Chang'an, we can't hold on for long. Therefore, although this fighter opportunity is good, our army still cannot truly recover Chang'an."

Everyone was quite disappointed after hearing this, but then they thought that now that Longyou and Liangzhou have been recovered, the great cause of Han has taken a big step, and there is no need to rush to conquer Chang'an.

Besides, it is difficult to gain the upper hand at the moment, so it is better to take advantage of the situation to obtain substantial results and make every effort to win Chang'an. It is better to be cautious.
