When Ailang heard the scout's report, he was surprised and then shouted and cursed in anger: "I didn't find it in the south and north! Could it be that big-eared thief Liu Bei can fly? What exactly does Liu Bei want to do?" The generals looked at each other, looking at him at a loss.

Zhuge Liang frowned and thought, "Almost all of Liu Bei's army are infantry, and even if they are all cavalry, it is impossible to move so silently! I suspect that Liu Bei and his main force have never come here!"

Ailang was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Kongming, what do you mean by saying this?" Zhuge Liang clasped his fists at Ailang and said: "Lord, this may be Liu Bei's plan to attack the east and west! The phenomena we saw in our previous moral intelligence were all illusions that Liu Bei could create. The purpose was to make me convinced that they were going to concentrate their troops to attack Chang'an!..." Ailang opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but shout: "Are you saying that they are not going to attack Chang'an, but to attack other places? Where is it?" Zhuge Liang said: "It should be Hanzhong!" Ailang was stunned for a moment, and then shouted at Dian Wei: "Send someone to inform Ma Chao and the others of this situation immediately! Tell them to be careful!" Dian Wei Yingnuo said and walked quickly.

Ai Lang asked Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, what should we do now? If we immediately rush to Hanzhong and Liu Bei appears here, it would be a mistake! But if we don't rush to help, I'm worried that Ma Chao and the others will not be able to defend Hanzhong!"

Zhuge Liang murmured, "Do you think the current situation may be the illusion released by Liu Bei?" Ailang nodded and said, "There is a plan in the plan! Maybe the other party can create this kind of scene, so that we can tell that their main force is actually going to sneak attack Hanzhong. When our army rushes to Hanzhong, their army will attack in large numbers! At that time, Guanzhong will be in danger!"

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment, clasped his fists and said, "What the lord said is very true! But compared to Guanzhong, who is fully prepared for war, Hanzhong, which is unprepared, is obviously much more dangerous! Therefore, his subordinates think that he should immediately rush to Hanzhong, and he should not hesitate! As for his lord's concerns, he thought that with Guo Fengxiao's ability and the 100,000 soldiers here, it would be impossible for his opponent to succeed easily!" Ailang showed joy and nodded, "I forgot this!" Then he said resolutely: "Okay! I will send an order immediately, and the army will immediately set off to help Hanzhong!"

However, before Ailang finished speaking, a messenger rushed into the tent. Ailang recognized that the messenger was placed next to Guo Jia, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

The messenger quickly took off a bamboo bag on his back and held it up with his hands, saying, "The villain sent an emergency military situation on the order of Lord Guo Jia!"

Ai Lang felt a little surprised, and immediately took the bamboo slip bag, opened it, took out the bamboo slip, spread it out, and looked at it quickly. Suddenly, he looked at it with a look of shock and anger on his face, and he cursed: "Damn Cao Pi, little boy! He actually attacked me Luoyang!" Everyone present was shocked when they heard this. Zhuge Liang hurriedly clasped his fists and asked, "Lord, what's the situation in Luoyang?"

Ailang said proudly: "It's not that easy to succeed in the sneak attack! The enemy's sneak attack has been resolved by Old Chen Zilong and the others! Cao's army is attacking Luoyang fiercely!" Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Ailang handed the bamboo slips to Zhuge Liang's hand and said: "Look at it."

Zhuge Liang bowed and took the bamboo slips, looked carefully, then rolled the bamboo slips, bowed and returned them to Ailang. Ailang took the bamboo slips and asked, "What do you think of Kong Ming?" Zhuge Liang thought, "Cao Pi mobilized 360,000 troops to attack Luoyang. This shows that Cao Pi also used the strategy of attacking the east and the west. They made the illusion of attacking Qingzhou, but in fact they came to attack Luoyang. Luoyang had only 60,000 defenders, and the situation was very unoptimistic!" Yan Liang couldn't help but say, "Our army's current food and grass are all in our hands. The troops in other places lack food and grass support are difficult to mobilize in a hurry. Only we can support Luoyang!" Then he frowned and shouted in distress: "But we still have to support Hanzhong. What should we do?" Ailang couldn't help but feel distressed and looked up at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang looked thoughtful and then said, "In comparison, Luoyang's gains and losses are related to the overall situation! Moreover, Luoyang has only 60,000 defenders, and the enemy's army is six times that of our army. The situation is very critical!" He clasped his fist at Ailang and said, "Lord, it is not appropriate to make any decisions. His subordinates agree with Guo Jia's proposal and immediately return to Luoyang! As for Hanzhong, Ma Chao and Xu Shu can defend with a 100,000 army!"

Ailang paced back and forth in the tent, looking very irritable. He knew that Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang's suggestions were correct, but he felt frustrated! He only felt that returning to Luoyang was just a lead by the other party! If there was a mistake in Hanzhong, the consequences would be quite serious!

Suddenly, Ai Lang's heart moved, and his eyes showed a tiger-like expression, and he cursed: "These bastards probably thought I had to go back to Luoyang to help! I won't let them do it!" Everyone present was surprised when they heard this, and Yan Yan couldn't help asking, "Does the lord actually want to support Hanzhong first?" Yan Yan thought Ai Lang was planning to concentrate his troops to defeat the weaker one first.

Ai Lang said ruthlessly: "I won't help! Go and attack Chen Cang!" Everyone present was startled. Zhuge Liang immediately understood and frowned and said: "With Pang Tong's ability, I wouldn't have imagined such a possibility. I'm afraid that Chen Cang has been arranged like a soup pool in Jincheng! Going to attack Chen Cang will not be able to achieve his wish!"

Ailang felt that what Zhuge Liang said made sense, but he did not intend to change his mind and said firmly: "I have decided, just do it! Let's march today, first defeat the enemy in front of me, and then march into Chencang!" Then he said to Zhuge Liang and Yan Liang: "I will leave this to Kong Ming and you are fully responsible. Yan Liang, you must assist Kong Ming with all your strength! Kong Ming's order is my order!" Yan Liang held his fists and agreed. Zhuge Liang hurriedly asked, "Do you want to rush back to Luoyang?" Ailang laughed and said, "How can I not be by their side if my wife and children are put in danger!"

Zhuge Liang stared at Ailang with wide eyes, only to think that his lord was simply...! Then he asked, "How many soldiers are you going to bring back to Luoyang?" "Just bring Dian Wei and a group of personal soldiers." Zhuge Liang was shocked and said anxiously: "How can this be done?" Ailang waved his hand and said impatiently: "It's settled! Kongming, you can seize Chen Cang and other places as soon as possible to resolve Liu Bei's threat, and then turn your head to support me!" At this time, Dian Wei, who had just left, came in. Ailang said to Dian Wei: "Old Dian, gather all personal soldiers immediately, and we will go back to Luoyang today."

Later that day, Ailang led thousands of personal soldiers and the tiger cavalry to leave Meiwudong from the East City Gate. The iron hooves rolled and roared, as if Ailang was anxious. At the same time, a huge sound of killing came from outside the West City Gate. The main force of the Qin army went out of the West Gate to attack the Liu Bei army camp outside the city under the command of Zhuge Liang.

The Qin army swept away like a tide. Seeing that the Qin army was coming fiercely, Chen Dao did not dare to yell the front and hurriedly led his army to retreat westward. Seeing this scene, Zhuge Liang immediately confirmed his previous judgment. Liu Bei's army's actions in Guanzhong were all empty, and the actual attack direction was Hanzhong. Zhuge Liang and Yan Liang led their 100,000 troops to merge the 20,000 troops separated from the 30,000 troops guarding Meiwu. A total of 120,000 troops chased Chen Dao all the way westward until the east of Chen Cang. Chen Cang was located at 800

The west of Qinchuan is located on the north bank of the upper reaches of the Wei River, backed by Wuyue Mountain, and connected to Sanguan in the south. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, which is definitely a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. This Chencang is not only a major transportation route for going west to Guanzhong and entering Xiliang and even the Western Regions, but also a throat-to-throat connection to Xichuan in Yizhou. Its strategic position is very important. Here I briefly introduce it here. In fact, the Qinling Mountains were not called Qinling in this era, but Nanshan. This is how the idiom "Ma Fang Nanshan" came from.

When the Qin army was approaching the city of Chencang, Mao Jie led the officers and soldiers to line up on the city wall and waited for the battle.

Zhuge Liang sat on the convertible carriage and looked at the city situation, then raised the feather fan in his hand. Seeing this, Yan Liang, who was standing beside him, immediately raised his sword and shouted: "Beat the drum! Attack!"

The sound of war drums immediately rumbled, shocking the earth. Then thousands of Qin infantry soldiers looked at the simple cloud ladder and formed a shield wall with shields to quickly approach the city wall! After a while, the Qin attacking troops entered the range of the opponent's bed crossbow and catapulted stone tools. However, what Zhuge Liang expected was that the opponent's city was silent, and the catapult and crossbow did not shoot. Zhuge Liang was a little surprised, and at the same time, a little bad feeling arose in his heart.

Seeing that the attacking troops entered a range of 150 steps from the city wall, suddenly, a loud bang sounded and a large area of ​​ground collapsed without warning! The Qin army officers and soldiers holding shields in the front fell into the pit and were stabbed into a hornet's nest by countless iron guns and bamboo sticks densely spread at the bottom of the pit! They were suddenly covered in blood and a tragic scene!

The attacking army was shocked and stopped quickly. Mao Jie on the top of the city was waiting at this moment, and raised his right hand and shouted sternly: "Shoot the arrow!!" The arrows on the top of the city were suddenly like rain. Before the Qin army was blocked, the officers and soldiers holding the shield fell into the trap, and the attacking army lost the protection of the shield. In an instant, they were shot by the flying arrows in the sky, causing heavy casualties!

However, the Qin army was a fierce and fierce tiger and wolf army after all. Faced with this sudden situation, they remained calm in the face of danger. The remaining shield players quickly stepped forward to form a shield curtain, while the other infantry quickly retreated behind the shield curtain! After a while, the Qin army formed a shield curtain in front of them, and the second wave of arrows flying from the sky hit the shield curtain. Mao Jie couldn't help but frowned and murmured to himself: "These Qin soldiers are really elite and good at fighting!"
