"It's a pity that missed the opportunity."

"Reward the three armies and return to Mizhizhai."

Li Zicheng missed the best opportunity to conquer Guanzhong, so he could only announce his withdrawal and return to Mizhizhai, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Li Zicheng recruited his subordinates in the mountainous areas. Although he had a good geographical location, there was too little land to cultivate and the population was limited, which could not be compared with the Guanzhong Plain.

Zhang Hua was not the Northern Song Dynasty court, and would not occupy a wealthy plain, but was suppressed by the sparsely populated forces in the mountains.

As long as Li Zicheng dares to enter the Guanzhong Plain, what is waiting for Li Zicheng will be a huge number of cavalry.

Song Xiance, the military advisor of the Dashun Army, looked towards the direction of the Guanzhong Plain and sighed.

I missed this opportunity and waited until Zhang Hua built the Guanzhong Plain and turned it into a wall of iron. If I want to find such a good opportunity in the future, I may have to wait for a long time.

This time, Zhang Hua just sent generals such as Qihuo Army, Li Ling, Zhang Shigui, Liao Hua, and Wang Ping to lead troops to guard against Li Zicheng. Otherwise, if the main force was dispatched, it would not be Li Zicheng's turn to attack.

The Dashun Army retreated to the depths of the northern mountainous area. Ran Liang, Chen Wu, Tian Rui and others begged for the handsome work, with sword scratches on their faces, watching the Dashun Army retreat.

Under the fierce offensive of the Dashun Army, the Qihuo Army suffered more than 60% casualties.

If Ran Liang, who was born with divine power, had he not dragged the King of Breaking Li Zicheng, maybe Li Zicheng would have opened a breakthrough with his personal force.

In Hanzhong, Nanzheng Town, local lords gathered the local population and upgraded the town into a city.

Nanzheng City gathered a large number of people, and local generals trained soldiers and fought against all parties.

Envoy Cao Zhen entered Nanzheng City and proposed to offer the opportunity to offer the city.

After the envoy Cao Zhen retreated, the Hanzhong lord summoned his civil servants and generals to discuss whether to take over Chen Cangcheng: "Chen Cangcheng has a dangerous terrain, and Cao Zhen recruited countless people in the local area to reclaim farmland, and had thousands of hectares of fertile land. Will Cao Zhen be so kind and take the initiative to present Chen Cang to us? Is Cao Zhen's passage to the city true or false?"

A strategist came out and saw the fire: "Cao Zhen sent someone to present to the city and borrowed the way. It is true, and it is true that the disaster is also true."

"Why do you say that?"

"Does the lord know that during the Warring States Period, the prefect of Shangdang in South Korea knew that it was about to be annexed by Qin, and then took the initiative to present Shangdang to Zhao, which led to the Battle of Changping? Now that Cao Zhen presented Chen Cang, he undoubtedly could not defend Chen Cang, so he reproduced the story of Shangdang Prefect, and let the lord fight with Zhang Hua, who occupied Guanzhong."

"In this way, Cao Zhen is also sinister intent. How should we deal with it?"

"If the lord intends to take Guanzhong, he will definitely take Chen Cang. This is an open plot, but he has to act according to Cao Zhen's plan. After all, in the future, if the lord wants to take Guanzhong, Chen Cang must fight."

"Lord, so what if we take down Chen Cang? Are we afraid that Zhang Hua will succeed?"

"Lord, send troops!"

"Hanzhong is a basin with a limited population. If you want to achieve hegemony, Guanzhong is more suitable to become a place of dragon prosperity."

The civil and military officials and generals under the command of the princes in Hanzhong asked for battle and took over Chen Cang.

At this time, the princes of Hanzhong were in the same dilemma as King Zhao before the Battle of Changping in history. If Chen Cang was not taken, Chen Cang would be taken by Zhang Hua and Hanzhong would be threatened.

If Chen Cang is taken, he will definitely fight with Zhang Hua.

This is Guo Huai's plot.

The so-called open conspiracy means that you have to act according to your plan even though you know the other party’s intentions.

The princes in Hanzhong thought for a long time, but finally spoke: "Send troops to capture Chen Cang."

In Hedong, the town where the Northern Prefecture Army was stationed, Xie Xuan was stationed in the town. When the princes of Guanzhong fought for hegemony, Xie Xuan endured the fierce attacks of Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan and Jin Wushu. The city walls of the town collapsed several times. The Northern Prefecture Army lowered the wooden fence, blocked the gap, and piled up stone troughs, which barely blocked the Jin soldiers.

When Xie Xuan received the news that the outcome of the dispute in Guanzhong was decided, Xie Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wanyan Zongwang and Jin Wushu's Jin soldiers became increasingly powerful. Jurchens north of the Yellow River heard that the second prince Wanyan Zongwang and the fourth prince Jin Wushu dominated Hedong, so they came to surrender one after another, causing Xie Xuan to face more and more pressure.

"The towns in Hedong have been conquered by the Jurchens. We have few people and weak strength, so we cannot continue to stick to it. It is time to leave Hedong."

Xie Xuan guarded this town alone, and the Northern Palace Army had reached its limit.

After Zhang Hua captured most of Guanzhong, Xie Xuan set out to break through and went to Guanzhong to seek refuge with his uncle Xie An.

The last three thousand Northern Prefecture troops gathered in front of Xie Xuan.

These Northern Prefecture troops have experienced many battles and repelled the Jurchens' attacks again and again, fighting to the end.

"Our Beifu Army will go to Guanzhong for this trip. The people in this town can temporarily surrender to the Jurchens. But I promise you that our Beifu Army will return in less than three years at the latest."

"The general must come back, we are willing to wait for the general here."

"Xie Youdu will definitely live up to all the villagers and elders."

Xie Xuan led the Northern Prefecture Army to say goodbye to the tens of thousands of residents in this town and bowed a long time.

At the beginning, Xie Xuan's Northern Mansion Army established a village to shelter refugees, and then gradually upgraded to a town. There were many people in the town, but Xie Xuan knew him, so he was reluctant to leave.

Xie Xuan dispersed the recruited low-level troops. These low-level troops will not only be useless when breaking through, but will also lose their lives in vain.

"Set off!"

After Xie Xuan made the arrangements, he led three thousand Northern Prefecture troops out of the city at night.
