"Your Majesty, I think that we must immediately pursue Guo Huai and the others. With the swiftness of our cavalry, we should be able to catch up with Guo Huai and others before they enter Chang'an City. And there are still three thousand troops of General Huang outside Chang'an City.

, we also need to rush over to take care of one or two, this is the safest strategy." Liu Yin said.

Regarding his proposal, Yang Qing did not immediately express his position, but paced in the tent while thinking about it. Liu Yin and Wu Que had always known that Yang Qing had this habit of walking and thinking, so they did not dare to disturb him.

She stood aside quietly, watching his back.

After a while, Yang Qing turned around and said with a smile: "We are not going to Chang'an, but will return directly to Anling."

"Return to Anling?" Liu Yin was taken aback and asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, why is this?"

Yang Qingdao: "The reason is very simple. First of all, our army is chasing eastward on a double road. It is very likely to intercept Guo Huai and others, but what can we do if we catch up?

You must know that Guo Huai has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and the number of cavalry among them is similar to that of our army. It will be difficult for our army to win if we attack. In the end, we will probably have to watch them enter Chang'an.

As for Huang Xi and the others, since Youwei has sent someone to notify him, I believe he can lead his troops to retreat in time and avoid Guo Huai in advance."

After a pause, he continued: "There is also the most critical reason, that is, our army fell into the rhythm of the Wei army when chasing Chang'an, and was led by the nose by the Wei army. This is not done by a wise man, so we can't

for it.

In fact, the key to the entire battle lies with An Ling and Cao Zhen. As long as we keep an eye on An Ling, we can always take the initiative in the battle.

The reason why Guo Huai, Fei Yao and Qin Ji abandoned the defense of Chencang and other places was simply to go to Anling for reinforcements. Even if they go to Chang'an first, they will still go to Anling in the end.

So we are waiting for them in Anling, waiting for them in silence and waiting for work, and we will fight the final decisive battle with the Wei army at the foot of Anling City."

"Your Majesty, the general understands that no matter what tricks the Wei army is playing, we only need to keep an eye on Cao Zhen," Liu Yin said.

Yang Qing smiled and said: "Of course."

One day later, Zhao Yun finally led his troops to the Weishui River. Yang Qing took Liu Yin and others to cross to the south bank to meet him.

"General Zilong."

As soon as he landed on the shore, Yang Qing saw Zhao Yun. Deng Zhi was already waiting on the shore and hurried forward to greet him.

Zhao Yun had not seen him for several months. It was a very happy meeting to meet him at the Weishui River, but when he thought that he had fallen into the trap of Guo Huai and others, the joy in his heart was suddenly washed away. He smiled bitterly.

He agreed: "Mingzhi, this time you and I will be set up by Guo Huai and the others. If the word spreads, you and I may be ridiculed by everyone in the world!"

"Old General, you are overly worried. The Wei army only won a small victory. The entire battle is still under the control of our army. They cannot overturn the situation. What's more, with the two fortified cities of Xicheng and Chencang in their hands, our army is already a big force.

I made a profit," Yang Qing said with relief.

Zhao Yun thought to himself, the Wei army is not a weak force, and Cao Zhen, Guo Huai and others are not mediocre generals. It is impossible for his side to have the upper hand in everything. Occasionally, a small loss is harmless, so don't worry too much. Thinking of this, the depression in his heart suddenly dissipated.

, smiled and nodded.

Deng Zhi on the side bowed his hands in greeting: "Shijun Yang."

"General Bo Miao."

Yang Qing returned the gift and asked Liu Yin and others to come forward to pay their respects. After everyone had finished reminiscing about the past, they went to the big tent to sit down and talk.

"Mingzhi, since Guo Huai and others have fled towards Chang'an, should we continue to pursue eastwards?" Zhao Yun asked.

Yang Qing shook his head and said: "If you don't chase us, our army will turn back to Anling."

"Going to Anling? Why?"

Yang Qing then repeated what he had said to Liu Yin before. After hearing this, Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi felt that it was very reasonable. So they all immediately agreed to join forces and go to Anling together.

At this time, Zhuge Liang's military order happened to arrive, ordering Yang Qing and Zhao Yun to return to Anling quickly without pursuing Chang'an. This order coincided with Yang Qing's idea, and Zhao Yun immediately ordered the entire army to cross the border. Wei River, together with Yang Qing's cavalry on the north bank, rushed towards Anling.

When the army was on its way, Yang Qing and Zhao Yun received news that Guo Huai had led the Wei army back to Chang'an and forced back Huang Xi's 3,000 troops. At present, Huang Xi had led his army to retreat to a valley in Weicheng to rest and wait for Zhuge Liang. Next order.

Two days later, Yang Qing and Zhao Yun led more than 10,000 cavalry back to Anling City. At this time, Anling City had already been shaken by the fierce offensive of the Han army, and the ice on the city wall had also been attacked by Zhuge Liang with fire the day before yesterday. After the plan melted and the heavy snow stopped, Cao Zhen could no longer continue to use the method of pouring ice to solidify the city.

After these days of attacks, the Wei army in the city suffered heavy casualties. Only half of the nearly 10,000 men and horses were left. Fortunately, most of the casualties were private soldiers recruited temporarily. Cao Zhen still had more than 2,000 elite soldiers. .

Although he was worried that the Han army might break the city at any time, he was slightly relieved after receiving the news that reinforcements led by Guo Huai and others were coming, but this breath was not relieved too much. At this time, he was quite worried. Tangled, the fierce offensive of the Han army was somewhat unexpected, forcing him to consider whether to make adjustments to his original plan.

However, after learning that Zhao Yun's thousands of Han troops were outside the city, Cao Zhen finally made a decision, turned around and asked Wu Kun behind him: "Where are Guo Huai and the others now?"

"They left Weicheng in the morning. At this time, they should be only twenty or thirty miles away from Anling, which is probably at this location." Wu Kun took a step forward and pointed at the map.

Cao Zhen nodded and said: "Well, by the evening they will be only about ten miles away from Anling. Send someone to rush out and inform Guo Huai that as soon as midnight tonight, our army will break out from the east city and order him to prepare a response preparation."

"General, are you going to abandon the city tonight and break out of the siege? At present, Anling City is still in the hands of our army. When Guo Shijun and others arrive, they will be able to hold on and hold off the Shu army. When other reinforcements arrive, they can attack Shu from both inside and outside. Army. The general's plan is so wonderful, why give it up?" Wu Kun was very puzzled when he heard this.

Cao Zhen said: "This is not giving up, but making a slight adjustment, just changing the bait from Anling to Chang'an.

I also want to continue to defend Anling, but the Han army's offensive is too fierce, which has exceeded our previous estimate. This Anling city cannot be defended at all. If I continue to defend, I am afraid that Zhuge Liang will really kill me. This big fish went into my stomach."

"Yes, General I understand. I will make arrangements right now." Wu Kun said, holding his fists.

After he left, Cao Zhen looked at the map and murmured to himself: "Zhuge Liang, it seems that the location of the decisive battle between you and me will be changed to Chang'an."

In the Han army's camp, Zhuge Liang had already received the news that Guo Huai and others were about to arrive in Anling. He smiled and said to Zhao Yun and Yang Qing: "Zilong, Mingzhi, Guo Huai and others tried their best to deceive the soldiers with a trick.

I have killed you, and now they have taken the initiative to send you to your door again. This time you two can finally have sex with Guo Huai and others."

"Haha, luckily I didn't chase them to Chang'an. Staying in Anling and waiting for them to come over on their own initiative really saved me a lot of energy." Zhao Yun laughed.

Yang Qing also smiled and asked, "Does the Prime Minister want me and General Zilong to intercept them?"
