Chapter 521: Determining the Ding Hanzhong

The battle between Chenggu was very fierce. More than 20,000 Qin troops were wiped out. Except for some of them, they all died in Chenggu. The Deng army was not easy, with more than 30,000 casualties. If it weren't for killing Wei Song and Nanyun, two chief generals of the Qin army, in one fell swoop, the Deng army would have suffered even greater casualties. After the war, it took Deng army two days to clean up the end of Chenggu City.

"General, all the remnants of the Qin army in Chenggu were cleaned up, and the order after the war gradually recovered." Xi Zhicai, the official in Chenggu County, said to Yue Fei.

Yue Fei nodded and said, "Very good, thank you for your hard work." After that, Yue Fei asked Murong Chui again, "General Murong, I wonder what the situation is in Yangping Pass now? What news has come in the past two days?"

Murong Chui replied: "Return to the general, the general has just received a message from General Xie at the end of today. Yan Qin's army has basically given up on the plan to attack Yangping Pass, but it seems that he is not willing to give up and has been hoarding troops under the city. General Xie and General Ren Ping avoid the troubles, guard the city and have not fought with the Qin army."

"Our army has just settled Hanzhong, and everything is in trouble. It is not a solution for the Qin army to stay outside Yangping Pass. It seems that it is time to solve this problem. If we send an order, the entire army will rest in Chenggu for three days. After three days, the army will go north to Yangping Pass." Yue Fei thought for a while and said.

"Here!" everyone responded.

On July 13, Yue Fei led an army of 200,000 to head north. On July 16, he arrived at Yangping Pass. Xie Xun and Ren Ping left the city to greet him.

"The last general meets General Yue!" Outside Yangping Pass, Xie Xun and Ren Ping learned that Yue Fei had arrived, and hurried out of the city to greet him.

"The two generals don't have to be too polite, please get up quickly!" Yue Fei turned over and dismounted, came to Xie Xun and Ren Ping, and said with a smile.

After entering Yangping Pass, Yue Fei asked Xie Xun and the others: "Two generals, what are the changes in the Qin army during this period?"

Xie Xun shook his head and said, "When the Qin army first arrived at Yangping Pass, it launched several attacks on Yangping Pass, but our army fought back one by one. Later, General Ren Ping led his troops to reinforce, the Qin army stopped attacking when they saw that things were not done, but did not retreat and kept hoarding troops outside the city. So far, there has been no abnormal movement."

"What is Wang Feng thinking? Now the entire Hanzhong County is in the hands of our army. What's the use of him staying here? Could it be that he really plans to use the tens of thousands of people in his hands to rob Hanzhong County?" Deng Qiang was very puzzled by this. Since the Deng army occupied Yangping Pass, the Qin army had no hope. This can be seen by a slightly wise person, but why can't Wang Feng understand?

"It's not that Wang Feng is not clear, he is just unwilling to give up." At this time, Ju Su smiled and said, "When Bai Qi was defeated and went to Shuzhong Road, losing his troops and generals, and his prestige was greatly damaged. Then the King of Qin and Wang Feng took advantage of the opportunity to take back the power of the general. However, after Wang Feng became the general of Qin, he could be said to have been defeated repeatedly. Not to mention anything else, he was defeated by Li Rubing in Changping Pavilion, which had already caused the Qin government and opposition to discuss, so he wanted to get some benefits in my Da Deng's hand, otherwise he would not be able to explain after he went back."

"Just him? It's not that I look down on him. If the soldiers and horses in his hands are really fighting, I'm afraid I can't even touch the city wall of Yangping Pass, and I want to get benefits from us. It's simply delusional." Li Xiucheng said disdainfully.

"Haha, since Wang Feng doesn't want to go back, then we'll give him a gift and let him go back to Chang'an to explain." Yue Fei thought for a while and said.

"What does the general mean?" everyone asked in confusion.

"Send someone to send Wei Song and Nanyun's corpses to the Qin army camp. I believe that when Wang Feng sees Wei Song and Nanyun's corpses, he will retreat. If he really does not retreat, don't blame me for not giving him a chance." Yue Fei said.

"Here!"

At the same time, Wang Feng was worried in the Qin army camp. Just now, the King of Qin sent someone to question him why he was still holding his troops under Yangping Pass. Faced with the envoy's questioning, Wang Feng could only stammer and answer that everything was within his control, so that the King of Qin would rest assured, and then he sent the envoy.

Just as Wang Feng was frowning, Geng Yue walked in with a very ugly face. Wang Feng asked in confusion: "General, Deng Jun has sent someone here."

"Deng's army sent people? Do you know what's going on?" Wang Feng asked. Now the two armies are confronting each other, why is Deng's army sending people here at this time?

Geng Yue shook his head and said, "I don't know this last general, but the bodies of generals Wei Song and Nanyun were also accompanied by Deng's envoy."

"What! Deng's army sent back the corpses of General Wei Song and General Nanyun? Did the Deng army have taken down the entire Hanzhong County?" Wang Feng was very shocked. It was not because Deng's army sent back the corpses of Wei Song and Nanyun, but because Deng's army sent back at this time. Does it mean that Deng's army has completely taken down the Hanzhong County?

"It's unknown, but General and Deng's envoy were outside the camp. I wonder if the general had met before?" Geng Yue asked.

Wang Feng thought for a while and said, "Bring it up. No matter what the result is, since the envoy of Deng Jun has arrived, if I am missing, it would be rude. No matter when, etiquette must be abide by."

"Here!" Soon, Geng Yue brought the envoy of Deng's army. The envoy of Deng's army was not someone else, but Lu Meng, the military commander of Shenwu Guard. In addition to Wang Feng, the Qin generals who went south with Wang Feng this time came to the central army's tent.

After Lu Meng saw Wang Feng, he bowed and said, "Lu Meng has met General Wang!"

"Lu Meng? I don't know what position the Lord Zun held in Deng's army?" Wang Feng did not know Lu Meng, so he asked.

Lu Meng smiled and replied, "I am currently the military advisor of the Shenwu Guard because of the great king."

"Shenwu Guard Military Advisor? It seems that the position of Zun Jiao is not low among the Deng army." Wang Feng also had some understanding of the Deng State's military system. In the Deng State's military system, the General of the First Guard was the number one figure, while the First Guard Military Advisor was the number two figure.

"I dare not take it, it is all the grace of the king. Today, I am here to return the body of the general of your army at the order of General Yue Fei." Lu Meng said.

"Have Yue Fei come to Yangping Pass?" Wang Feng did not care about the mission of Lu Meng's trip. After all, he had known it for a long time. What he cared more was that Lu Meng came under Yue Fei's order, which means that Yue Fei had already arrived at Yangping Pass.

Lu Meng replied: "Yes, just today, General Yue Fei personally led more than 200,000 troops of Longwu Guard, Jinwu Guard, Shenwu Guard, Tianning Guard, Yongning Guard, and Yongning Guard to arrive at Yangping Pass. Once he arrived at Yangping Pass, General Yue Fei asked the body of the general of the army in the lower army to return it."

"Is there an army of more than 200,000?" Wang Feng murmured, and then said to Lu Meng: "General Yue Fei asked the Lord to send the things that the Lord gave him has already been delivered. If the Lord has nothing to do, he can leave."

Lu Meng nodded and said, "It's true that there is nothing else, but General Yue Fei has a sentence to tell General Wang."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Wang Feng asked.

Lu Meng said: "General Yue Fei asked me to tell General Wang that things should not be done, and if we should be cut off, we should be cut off. General Wang, the mission of his subordinate has been completed, so I will say goodbye first."

"Please give me some advice!"

After Lu Meng left, the Qin general Fu Gui asked Wang Feng in confusion: "General, what does Yue Fei mean?"

Wang Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you understand this? Yue Fei sent back the bodies of the two generals Wei Song and Nanyun, just to tell me that Hanzhong County had been taken down by him. At the same time, he asked Lu Meng to tell me that the meaning of the words "the overall situation has been decided and we should leave."

"Let's go? What's his Yue Fei? He wants us to leave with just one word? Did Yue Fei take himself seriously?" Hearing this, Qin army general Xing Cong said angrily, how many things do Yue Fei mean? Why did he let them go back with just one word?

"So what if you don't leave?" Before Wang Feng could speak, Geng Yue said, "You haven't heard the words of Lu Meng just now. Deng's Longwu Guard, Jinwu Guard, Shenwu Guard, Tianning Guard, Yongning Guard, etc. According to the military system of Deng, the five guards have a total of 250,000 people. Even if the Deng army lost some troops during the conquest of Hanzhong, I dare to assert that the Deng army in Yangping Pass is definitely no less than 200,000 people. What can we do if we don't leave? Could it be that our army has only 50,000 people, so what can we fight against Deng's army?"

Geng Yue's words made the Qin generals speechless. Yes, the 200,000 Deng army is here, so what can I do if I don't retreat? Could it be that I really fight with 50,000 Deng army 200,000?

"But, would Yue Fei really be so kind to let us retreat? You should know that his 200,000 army is here. If we are with all our strength, not to leave us all here, at least one-third of our army will lose more troops. This great opportunity to weaken our Qin Dynasty, Yue Fei will have no reason to let him go?" Fu Gui had a question again, why did Yue Fei give up such a great opportunity?

At this time, Wang Feng said, "No matter what purpose Yue Fei is for, we have to leave. Now the entire Hanzhong County has fallen into the hands of Deng's army. Our army has no chance. If we don't leave, we may really not be able to leave. I will send orders to pack our luggage and pull out the camp overnight at midnight to avoid having too many dreams."

"Here!"

At the end of the year, the Qin army led the camp back to Guanzhong, but what Wang Feng didn't know was that when they retreated, Yue Fei and a group of Deng army generals could see clearly at the top of the city.

"General, why did you let the Qin army go back so easily? We can leave all the Qin army behind. Why don't you let the general lead the troops to pursue it now?" Zhang Fei, who was beside Yue Fei, asked in confusion.

"No need!" Yue Fei shook his head and said, "After this battle, Qin State is no longer a concern. Our country has only one Zhao State from beginning to end. If we weaken Qin State too much, we will only be in vain. Besides, if we defeat Wang Feng here, we may be able to take down his throne of general when Wang Feng returns to Chang'an. By then, Qin State will have to use Bai Qi. Compared to Bai Qi, Wang Feng will be better off."

Since Wang Feng became the general of Qin, he first defeated Changpingting, and now he has returned in vain at Yangping Pass. This has been a very heavy blow to his prestige. If he attacks him again, Bai Qi may have come out. Although Yue Fei really wants to fight with Bai Qi, for Deng State, Wang Feng is better in charge of Qin's military power than Bai Qi.

"Okay, the Qin army withdrew, and the overall situation in Hanzhong has been decided. Next, after the court sends officials to take over Hanzhong County, we can return to the court. You will make great contributions to this battle. When you return to Wancheng, I will personally ask for your contributions!" Yue Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said.
