Chapter 741

Liu Bei came to the backyard and had dinner with the two wives. Mrs. Gan noticed that Liu Bei had a sad face and couldn't help asking, "Are you worried about the current war?"

Liu Bei was in a bad mood, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, frowned and said, "Today's battle, the third brother lost all 30,000 elite troops, and the third brother was also seriously injured! Now the enemy is so powerful, I really don't know if I can defend Chang'an!" When the two ladies of Gan Mi couldn't help but worry when they heard this, they looked at each other.

At this moment, Mi Fang quickly stepped in and first met the two ladies, then said to Liu Bei, "Lord, everything is ready." Liu Bei nodded and said, "You go out first." Mi Fang responded and left the room. Liu Bei smiled and said to the two ladies, "Don't worry, both ladies. I will take care of national affairs." He picked up the chopsticks and picked up some dishes for the ladies, "Come on, let's have this dinner. Then I will send you on my way."

The two ladies Gan Mi were very surprised, and Mrs. Mi hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by your husband?"

Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh and said, "The situation is tense now. In case, I plan to send you back to Chengdu. Mi Fang is ready, and I will send you on the way after dinner!" The two women felt a sudden feeling. Mrs. Gan hurriedly said, "Husband, I have objections to this!" Liu Bei looked at the young and beautiful Mrs. Gan in confusion. Mrs. Gan said seriously: "Now is the critical time of the war! If the soldiers knew that the husband had secretly sent us out of Chang'an, wouldn't it be a waste of time to defeat the military's hearts.

Morale? If there is a mistake in Chang'an, wouldn't I be redeemed for death? I am willing to stay and help my husband guard the city! Although I am powerless, I can still help the medical officer to take care of the injured soldiers!" Mrs. Mi nodded, "What my sister said is extremely true! Now is the critical moment of the war, and any mistake may affect the situation! Although I am incompetent, I must not be this eternal sinner! I also ask my husband to take back his life and let me and my sister stay in Chang'an to guard the city with my husband!"

When Liu Bei saw the two wives like this, he was very moved and said, "Having two such virtuous wives is really a blessing from their previous lives!" After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Since both wives have nothing to do with this, then stay!" The two women were very happy.

Liu Bei picked up the wine glass and said to the two ladies: "Bei toast both ladies!" The two ladies picked up the wine glass and said, "I'm going to do it first!" Then they took a small sip of wine. Liu Bei smiled slightly, raised his head and drank the glass of wine in his hand.

The two ladies put down their wine glasses, and Mrs. Mi couldn't help asking, "Husband, can we defend Guanzhong?" Liu Bei smiled slightly and said, "Madam, don't worry. The reason why Bei had the idea of ​​sending the two ladies back to Chengdu was just to prevent it. In fact, although the current situation is unfavorable, Lu Bu also has worries. Now Cao Pi is attacking Luoyang in a large scale. As long as we persist for a few more days, I believe Lu Bu must retreat!" The two women couldn't help but calm down their worries when they heard Liu Bei's words.

The reinforcements sent by Liu Bei failed to support Changling as they wished, but were wiped out by the Weishui River. The Qin army besieging Changling became even more fierce. The entire Changling City was like a small boat in the stormy waves, as if it would be swallowed up by the big waves at any time.

Another day of war ended, and the Qin army temporarily stopped attacking and retreated to the camp. Liu Bei's army was exhausted, and the undead officers and soldiers were cleaning up the layers of corpses on the top of the city. The tragic scene and the strong smell of blood made all officers and soldiers feel like they were in hell.

Mi Zhu stood on the top of the city, looking at the scene in front of him, frowned tightly. A general came behind Mi Zhu and clasped his fists and said, "Sir, the losses have been roughly counted..." Mi Zhu turned to look at the general, with a look of concern on his face and asked, "How much has it been lost?" The general swallowed and said, "More than two thousand people were killed and more than three thousand people were injured. There were nearly six thousand casualties in one day today!..." Mi Zhu was shocked and couldn't help but shout, "So much?!" Although he was a little mentally prepared for today's losses, the number was still far exceeding his expectations. Mi Zhu frowned, feeling that the situation was really serious. He quickly asked, "How much has the enemy lost?" General said, "Based on the bodies cleaned up on the city, the enemy's casualties should be about three thousand...."

Mi Zhu's heart sank and murmured to himself: "The casualties that attacked one side were only half of the casualties that we defended the city!" The general couldn't help but say: "The Qin army is indeed the elite tiger and wolf army in the world! Not only are the weapons sharp and well-equipped, but everyone is extremely brave! Although our army tried its best, it..."

Mi Zhu frowned and asked, "Is there any news from the lord?" The general shook his head and said, "Not yet."

At this moment, another general rushed up from under the city wall and rushed to Mi Zhu, reporting urgently: "Sir, there is news from the lord! Not long ago, the lord sent a third general to lead 30,000 elite troops to try to reinforce us, but was intercepted by the enemy on the bank of the Wei River. There was a big battle between the two sides. The third generals had 30,000 elite troops, and the third general was seriously injured and still unconscious!" Mi Zhu was shocked, his body shook for a moment, and almost fell down. He calmed down, only to feel that the situation was still extremely critical, and he hurriedly asked: "Where is General Zhang Ren? Is there any news from General Zhang Ren?" The general shook his head and said: "The sent people have not come back yet."

At this time, at Zuo Fengyi, Zhang Ren, who received Mi Zhu's letter of help, was in a dilemma. Now Changling is in crisis, he must save him. If Changling is on the verge of waiting for Changling to fall, then his Zuo Fengyi will be out of danger. However, it is not easy to rescue Changling in Zhang Ren's opinion!

Zhang Ren paced back and forth in the hall, and the generals standing on both sides could not help looking at each other. One general clasped his fists and said, "General, Changling is in danger, we must save us!" Another general said angrily: "We only have 30,000 defenders here. If we divide the troops, once the Qin army attacks, wouldn't Zuo Fengyi be unprotected! At that time, we will be punished!" The general who spoke before said angrily: "We can still be blamed when we sit down and watch Changling fall!"

Zhang Ren stopped, raised his right hand, and shouted, "Don't argue!" The two generals stopped arguing. Zhang Ren turned around and said firmly: "Changling is in danger, our army must save us!" The general who opposed the rescue of Changling was shocked and hurriedly said, "General, we only have 30,000 troops here, and we are not enough to protect ourselves. How can we have extra troops to rescue Changling? Moreover, since Lord Mi Zhu also asked for help from the lord, the lord must send troops to the lord to rescue Changling, so we don't have to worry too much! If Zuo Fengyi is lost, we will not be able to convey to the lord!"

Zhang Ren said: "The lord will naturally send troops, but we can't stop doing nothing." After a pause, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "And I will not go directly to rescue Changling. At this moment, the Qin army must have set up an ambush on the road. Since this is the case, I will go the other way and catch them off guard!" The generals of the headquarters looked at each other, feeling a little confused.

Zhang Ren quickly walked to the upper head, turned around, glanced at the generals, and sang: "As a soldier, we should be in a state of unyielding concern for the Lord!" When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but feel fighting spirit in their hearts. Zhang Ren opposed the generals on the left head and said: "General Wang, I will leave you ten thousand soldiers to defend the city! Remember, unless you see me, no matter who comes to call the city, you must not open the door!" The general held his fists and agreed. Zhang Ren immediately said to the other generals: "Other generals will gather troops immediately! Soldiers are very fast, and I want to attack Qin Pass today!" The generals were all surprised when they heard this.

Zhang Ren is worthy of being a famous general in Shu. He had expected that he would be ambushed by the enemy halfway through rescue of Changling at this moment. Not only would he fail to rescue, but he would suffer heavy losses. Therefore, he had to go against the rules and not rescue Changling, but attack Qin Pass. Zhang Ren did not know where the Qin army's logistics transfer base was at this moment, but based on the current situation, it is very likely that the Qin army's logistics transfer base was above Qin Pass, and Qin Pass was the retreat for the Qin army to retreat to Luoyang. If this battle was successful, he would be able to turn the situation around in one fell swoop. If Lu Bu's main force could be wiped out, then who would know that the situation in the world would change drastically!

Zhang Ren's inference is correct. Qin Pass is indeed the transfer base for the Qin army's logistics supplies. At this moment, the Qin Pass was bustling with bustling. It turned out that Sun Ren, one of the wife of the Qin King, led his general Dong Yuan to lead three thousand troops to escort artillery and food supplies. Sun Ren's current identity is similar to Huang Wudie. They are all female generals in the Qin army, but their military ranks are several levels lower than Huang Wudie. They are generals of the strategic reserve team. Not long ago, they received military orders, so they led their troops to escort artillery and food supplies to Guanzhong with another female general Dong Yuan. Dong Yuan is Dong Zhuo's daughter and Niu Fu's wife. They had previously defected to Cao's army, but after being captured by Lu Bu, he became a lieutenant general of Lu Bu's army because of Huang Wudie's persuasion.

Sun Ren rode a rouge horse and looked at the bustling scene in front of him, frowned and said, "It's too slow! The front line is stalemate, we must speed up!" He turned his head to the Qinguan Guard General Hao Meng, who was standing beside him, and said, "General Hao Meng, please send your officers and soldiers to help!" Hao Meng held his fists and agreed, and immediately went down to dispatch troops. In fact, Hao Meng's military rank is far above Sun Ren, but because Sun Ren is the lord's wife, Hao Meng seemed to be her subordinate.
