Chapter 186: The end of the war (2)

Coming from afar, the Shu army was eager to protect Liu Chan's safety in Xiangyang. If they confronted the Wei army, Du Yu was very sure that the Shu army would definitely divide its troops to cut off the Wei army's retreat. Whether it could defeat the Wei naval army is a question mark, but once the Wei naval army that protected the Yangtze River defeated the Wei naval army, Du Yu and tens of thousands of Wei troops were surrounded in Xiangyang, without any assistance or food, and could only sit and wait for death.

In this way, Du Yu naturally would not choose to fight against the Shu army. After the Shu army confirmed Liu Chan's safety, he would compete with him steadily. He could only retreat quickly while the Shu army did not dare to disperse its troops and had not yet arrived in Xiangyang. In this way, he could still preserve his vitality. From another perspective, Cao Wei still occupied Xinye and other places, which was equivalent to restoring the previous territory. More importantly, although he failed to capture the Emperor of Shu Han in this battle, he also destroyed the land of Xiangfan in one fell swoop. If the Shu army wanted to restore its vitality, it would have to rest for at least three or five years.

This is the original strategic purpose. Whether Liu Chan can be captured was an accident. If someone stayed, there was a danger of being cut off from the back and being isolated without help. Choosing to withdraw his troops also achieved the strategic purpose set previously. Cao Wei was not just beating. Before Shu Han sent troops next time, he had to consider his own weight.

Yang Hu and Wen Yang's army rushed to Xiangyang, but the Wei army took the opportunity to withdraw and retreated smoothly to the north bank without any obstacles along the way. They were also worried about Du Yu in Jiangbei. The reinforcements from all sides that had been planned have not been heard for a long time. Could it be that there were Shu troops in Jiangbei that could not be able to do anything?

The Wei army in Jiangbei did not want to reinforce Xiangfan, but the Shu Han general Jiang Wei personally led his troops to arrive. The Wei army was not only unable to be a clone, but also retreated step by step. Sima could not defeat the talent of Zhongping. Although Wang Jun was good at fighting, he was still far behind Jiang Wei, an unparalleled wise general.

Jiang Wei led the Shu army to be defeated, and he intended to rush to the south bank of the Yangtze River to rescue Xiangyang. Wang Jun was dissatisfied with the Wei army being killed by Jiang Wei! Your strategy is indeed superior to me, and your martial arts are above me, but the situation has no advantage over the Shu army, and the Shu army is extremely urgent in time. Therefore, although it was defeated, Wang Jun advocated sending troops to pursue the Shu army immediately, and even if it was delayed again, he would have to hold back the Shu army's pace.

Unfortunately, Sima Gan was really afraid, that is, he fled back to Wancheng by his own life. If he continued to fight, he would not lose his head like Sima Jing, that would be the real end of the world. No one would think that he would die at this time. How could Sima Gan agree?

Wang Jun was a general with angularities. Seeing that Sima Gan was timid and afraid of death, he felt contemptuous. Unfortunately, he had only two or three thousand people left from Jiangxia. Without Sima Gan's help, his strength could not delay the footsteps of the Shu army at all.

No matter how Wang Jun cursed, Sima Gan remained motionless, and finally stayed silent. Wang Jun was so angry that he almost smashed the door. He was dragged hard by a long time before leaving Wancheng, and took Jiangxia's men back to Jiangxia. Although Wang Jun was strong and proud, he was not a fool. What would the end of offending the Sima family at this time? Sima Gan had 40,000 to 50,000 Wei troops in his hands, but he was afraid and refused to move forward. How could Xiangyang win with such actions?

It would be useless to dig out your heart and dig out your lungs. It would be better to go back to Jiangxia and continue to be an outside town in the imperial court, so as not to stay in Wancheng and be plotted by Sima.

Jiang Wei led his army south, Du Yu led his troops north, but he encountered unexpectedly!

The Shu army's successive battles eroded a lot of spirit. The Wei army preserved its strength and took the initiative to withdraw its troops was not an ordinary defeated army. Unexpectedly, the Wei army retreated, and the Shu army was very happy! The entire Wei army retreated, and Xiangyang must be safe. Unexpectedly, his one-acre three-point ground actually hit the Shu army. The Wei army was furious! What do reinforcements from all walks of life in Jiangbei do? So many Shu army let him appear in his hinterland in a dignified manner!?

Xiangyang was saved, so the Shu army naturally had no reason to continue to move south. After all, this was the territory of the Wei army. Although Jiang Wei killed the Wei army and did not dare to leave the city, the victory and defeat of Du Yu could not be distinguished in a short time. Once the battle was entangled, the Wei army from all directions came to support him, wouldn’t the Shu army be in a passive situation?

If Xiangyang was not taken down, the Wei army did not dare to be too entangled with the Shu army. After all, this should have been a place where they were hoarding their own heavy troops, but now they have not seen reinforcements but only saw Shu army. Who knows what happened on the north bank? Du Yu, who had just retired, was unwilling to have any entanglement with the Shu army.

Both tired troops had no reason to fight. After a little contact, they led their troops to retreat. The Shu army retreated to Wuguan, while the Wei army looked for the nearest city to rest and understand the situation on the north bank.
