Guo Jia smiled and clasped his fists and said, "The lord is over-reputable.

Actually, this matter is really not worth mentioning.

After hearing the news that Cao's army had been repelled hundreds of thousands, the Qiang people were already scared, and their subordinates just sent someone to push them a little.

Anyone could do this, but my subordinates just met him."

Ailang smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't be humble! Don't be humble! Feng Xiao and Kong Ming have made great contributions in this battle in Guanzhong!"

He asked immediately: "This place should be safe now, right?"

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Now Liu Bei just wants to raise another army to attack, it is impossible for the time being.

The morale of his army has been drained, and it will be just a waste of troops when he attacks again."

Ailang felt that what Guo Jia said made sense and nodded.

Guo Jia said: "At present, Liu Bei has been cut into two pieces, one is Xiliang and the other is Sichuan. The two places are blocked by our army and Qiang.

If Liu Bei wants to communicate with Xiliang, he can only go through Qiang.

However, this is greatly restricted.

My subordinates think that after this round of war is over, no matter what the result is, we should concentrate on seizing Xiliang next year."

Ailang looked thoughtful and asked, "Why didn't he take the opportunity to seize Xichuan?"

In Ailang's concept, Xichuan is a country of Tianfu, and its value is far higher than that of Xiliang.

Guo Jia said: "The mountains and rivers in Xichuan are steep, and the passes everywhere can be said to be a one-man pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it! Furthermore, Liu Bei's main force is in Guanzhong. If we want to seize Xichuan, our army must use all our efforts to do so.

However, Sun Jian threatened the south and Cao Pi stared at him in the north. Our army could not concentrate such powerful forces at all! If we attack Xichuan rashly and the war was delayed for a long time, Cao Pi and Sun Jian would definitely take advantage of the situation to attack. Not only will our actions fail, but we are afraid that Luoyang, Jingzhou and other places will also be in danger.

…” Ailang frowned slightly and nodded.

Guo Jia continued: "Although Xiliang is remote, it is rich in good horses and war-going people. Capturing Xiliang is equivalent to removing one of Liu Bei's arm, which will definitely be beneficial and harmless for our army's attack on Xichuan in the future.

Furthermore, Xiliang is a major transportation route connecting the countries in the Western Regions and beyond. Nowadays, we trade frequently with Western countries, but at present they can only be carried out by sea, which greatly limits the scale of trade.

If Xiliang can be captured, the land channel connecting the West will be opened, and the impact on trade will be immeasurable.

For these reasons, my subordinates think that we should seize Xiliang first.”

Ailang laughed and nodded and praised: "Well said it well! Well said it well! Fengxiao's words made me suddenly enlightened! Okay, let's seize Xiliang first!"

Guo Jia couldn't help but worship, "Lord is wise!"

Ailang stood up, walked to Guo Jia, and frowned slightly.

When Guo Jia saw Ailang's appearance, he couldn't help but feel his heart moved.

Ailang said: "Since the matter in Guanzhong has been resolved, I plan to rush to Nanzhong immediately."

Then he frowned and said, "I don't know why it is?

It was obvious that in the letter sent by Zhang Liao, the situation in the south was under control, and Zhu Rong's body was not seriously injured, but when I thought of Nanzhong, I felt very uneasy?

…” Guo Jia thought for a moment, then said to Ailang: “General Wenyuan is a famous general of a generation, so he naturally knows the priorities.

Before, the war situation in the north, especially in Luoyang, was critical. Even if there was a dangerous situation in the south, General Wenyuan would not inform the lord.

…” Ai Lang was stunned for a moment and changed his color and said, “What you mean is that the situation in Nanzhong is actually very bad, but Wen Yuan was worried that he would distract me, so he didn’t tell me the truth?”

Guo Jia nodded.

Ailang suddenly became anxious, and all kinds of terrible thoughts couldn't help but surge into his heart. Ailang's face became ugly, and he said anxiously: "No, I must hurry to Nanzhong immediately!"

Guo Jia hurriedly said, "My lord is safe! My subordinates probably think that if the situation in the South Central is indeed unfavorable to me, Liu Bei will definitely send more troops to ensure the victory of the South Central Battle! Under the current circumstances, there are only about 50,000 or 60,000 reinforcements that can be mobilized, but I am afraid that it may not be able to turn the tide and protect Nanzhong! So my subordinates think that the lord must make the worst plans and preparations!"

Ailang frowned and said firmly: "At worst, you can give up Nanzhong for the time being and withdraw everyone back to Jingzhou."

Guo Jia sighed deeply and said, "Lord is wise!"

Ailang immediately called a commander and ordered him to order the commander to station troops in Wei Yan near Qin Pass, and immediately led 30,000 infantry and cavalry to go south from Ziwuling, pass through Hanzhong and Jingzhou to Nanzhong to support Wenyuan. At the same time, he ordered Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia to mobilize reinforcements as much as possible and then rushed to Nanzhong.

After giving this order, Ailang led Dian Wei and his personal soldiers to hurriedly leave Chang'an and head south, preparing to cross Ziwu Ridge and rush to Nanzhong first.

Along the way, Ai Lang was anxious and worried about Zhang Liao and his friends' situation and Zhurong's safety.

He had received an urgent report saying that Zhurong was poisoned and unconscious, but the report at that time said that Zhurong was not in danger of life, so he did not take this matter too seriously before.

However, after Guo Jia's analysis not long ago, I am afraid that the actual situation is not the case at all. Zhu Rong may have done it well at this moment...

Thinking of this, Ailang felt panic and trembling, and he wanted to fly to Nanzhong with his ribs and wings.

What is the situation in Nanzhong now?

Ailang ran all the way, and a day later he passed through Ziwu Valley and entered the Hanzhong territory.

To Ailang's expectation, as soon as they left Ziwu Valley, they actually saw a cavalry waiting outside Ziwu Valley. The leading general was Ma Yunlu, who was in a military uniform.

Ma Yunlu came forward immediately, clasped his fists and said, "Lord!"

Ailang asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"

Ma Yunlu said lightly: "The military advisor expected that the lord would inevitably rush to help Nanzhong, so he ordered the generals to lead 10,000 combat cavalry to wait here to help the lord support Nanzhong."

Ailang couldn't help but say self-deprecatingly: "It seems that I am the only one who knows it later, and I thought there would be no problem in Nanzhong!"

He asked immediately: "Do you have food and supplies?

I didn't carry any extra food."

Ma Yunlu said: "Lord, don't worry, each of us carries enough dried meat to eat in January."

Ailang looked at the army under her and saw that there was a big bag made of cow urine blisters hanging beside each of them, which was filled with dried meat, enough for one person to eat more than a month.

Ailang didn't bother to ask how they got so much rations, and immediately shouted: "Let's go!"

Then he activated the Red Rabbit Horse to run straight forward.

Ma Yunlu led 10,000 cavalrymen Dian Wei led the royal palace's personal soldiers to follow closely behind.

Ten thousand people were winding rapidly between the steep mountains and rivers like a long dragon.

A group of soldiers rushed out of Hanzhong, passed through Jingzhou, and finally entered the southern central territory.

One day later, everyone came to an important residence where Wuxi Man lived.

However, the scene that caught my eye surprised everyone.

The originally large tribal area has turned into a charred ruin, with corpses on the ground and disgusting smells filled the air.

The vultures and jackals who were originally eating dead people suddenly saw many people coming and fled.

Alanle lived in the Red Rabbit Horse, and frowned as he looked at the scene in front of him.

Ma Yunlu frowned and said, "It seems that a big battle was fought here not long ago, and Shamoke's Wuxi barbarian army was obviously a big loss and lost and suffered heavy losses!"

Ailang frowned and shouted: "Don't delay, hurry to Dianchi Lake as soon as possible!"

Then more than 10,000 people quickly passed through this settlement area that seemed to have become hell on earth, and ran straight towards Dianchi City in the southwest direction.

The team trekked hard among the mountains and ridges. After a few days, a mountain like a green barrier suddenly appeared not far ahead, and Tanlu Mountain arrived.

This Tanlu Mountain is located more than 200 miles northeast of Dianchi Lake. It is a necessary path and natural barrier to enter the Dianchi Lake area from the northeast. It is like a tall warrior standing in the northeast of Dianchi Lake.

After passing through Tanlu Mountain, the rich and beautiful Dianchi Basin will come into view.

Ailangling's army stopped.

Riding on the Red Rabbit Horse, he looked at Tanlu Mountain not far away.

I saw that the village fences had been built outside the canyon that passed through Tanlu Mountain, and soldiers were arranged. The flag flying in the air had a big word Liu embroidered on it.

Ai Lang didn't expect that Liu Bei's army had already occupied Tanlu Mountain, so he couldn't help but frown.

I just felt that I could not delay this place for more time, so I immediately raised the Fang Tian Painted Ridge and waved it forward.

Ma Yunlu immediately led the cavalry to rush forward.

The Liu Bei army officers and soldiers guarding the Tanlu Mountain Canyon suddenly saw the woods not far away suddenly surging. Then they saw a stunning female general leading a large number of Qin cavalry to rush over, and everyone's expression changed.

For a moment, the gongs and drums were shouting.

Ma Yunlu led the war cavalry to the front of the opponent's camp, then raised his crossbow and fired a dense wave of arrows at Liu Bei's army.

Liu Bei's army obviously did not expect to be suddenly attacked by the Qin army. It was in chaos and was suddenly knocked down by the rain of arrows flying in.

Ma Yunlu jumped up straight up, waved his spear and rushed open the gate and rushed in. The cavalry cheered and followed closely! The cavalry crashed into the middle of Liu Bei's army and suddenly entered the uninhabited realm. The panicked Liu Bei's army was killed and tilted and blood was flying, and he had already collapsed! In just two incense sticks, Liu Bei's army guarding Tanlu Mountain was defeated by Ma Yunlu.

Ailang rode a Red Rabbit Horse and ran like a village. Ma Yunlu ran towards him and clasped his fists and said, "The enemy has been defeated."

Ailang looked at Ma Yunlu with a look of amazement in his eyes.

He asked immediately: "Did any enemy troops escape?"

Ma Yunlu said: "Does of people escaped on horseback, and all the others were wiped out."

Ailang frowned and said, "They will definitely report to Zhang Fei when they escape!"

Then Ma Yunlu was ordered to leave two thousand cavalry guards to guard Tanlushan to support the follow-up troops, while the others immediately crossed Tanlushan to help Dianchi Lake. They had to rush to Dianchi Lake to attack their opponents before their opponents could react.

Ailang led a large army to run straight towards Dianchi Lake. At sunset that day, he climbed a low hill, and a magnificent scene of the battlefield immediately came into view.

I saw Liu Bei's army and Sun Jian's army surrounded the Dianchi city and attacked fiercely. The sound of killing shocked the world. The city seemed to be in the midst of stormy waves, shaking, as if it would be swallowed up by the surrounding stormy waves at any time.

Ai Lang was shocked, but he couldn't help but feel secretly happy, because Dianchi Lake had not yet fallen, he finally arrived in time.
