Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 494
The icy moon is about to set in the west, and the sky is hazy and slightly bright.At this time, it was not time to start the march, but in the Weibei Camp of the Han Army, the soldiers had already put on armor, and under the orange light of the campfire in the camp, they ran back and forth in the camp, put away the camp tents, and loaded the luggage into the carts.

Ma Dai's department, who is the pioneer, is counting the number of people in the school grounds, and each Shi, Tun, Qu, and department will report the number one by one to check whether the number is consistent.

"General, there are five thousand three hundred and fifty-one soldiers in our military department, and all the generals and schools have arrived. Please give orders to the general." The Han army captain reported.

Ma Dai nodded slightly, and ordered: "The whole army rests on the spot and waits for the military order."

"promise!"

When the military order was issued, the soldiers of the Han army relaxed slightly, sitting cross-legged, and some were sleepy, and even snored on the spot.Ma Dai, on the other hand, was watching the direction of the camp of the Hanzhong army, waiting for new instructions from the top of the Han Dynasty.

At this time, in the camp of the Hanzhong army, Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang, Wu Ban and others were located in it, waiting for the battle report of Huang Quan's army.

Wearing armor and holding a long sword, Liu Chan was lying half sideways on the bed, sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, occasionally snoring.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and reviewed the official documents calmly, without any external influence.

As a general in the army, Wu Ban was very anxious, pacing back and forth in the center of the tent, unable to calm down.

Liao Li, Zhuge Qiao, Yang Yi and others looked at the map hanging on the wall, frowned, pointed at the situation in Weinan, and discussed something in a low voice.

Wu Ban walked around, looking at Zhuge Liang who was reviewing the official documents, and finally couldn't help it. He took a step forward and put his hands on the official documents to prevent Zhuge Liang from reviewing them. Thinking about reviewing official documents!"

Zhuge Liang put the pen on the pen mountain, looked up at Wu Ban, and said, "Could it be that Yuanxiong has a different opinion, or has a strategy to defeat the Wei army?"

Wu Ban chuckled, sat down beside Zhuge Liang, and said, "Ban has nothing to do, maybe the prime minister has something to do."

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Liang has no other strategy, only the one he discussed with everyone just now."

Since Huang Quan launched the Battle of Xinling at night, and when the battle spread to the Han Army camp in Weibei, all the senior generals of the Han Army came to discuss the matter.

Facing Weinan, which did not know the enemy's situation, and with Sima Yi's army in front, no one dared to act rashly.After the discussion, Zhuge Liang ordered the soldiers to pack up and make second-hand preparations.If Huang Quan was defeated, Wu Ban and Ma Dai would quickly cross the river to meet Huang Quan's troops and retreat to Chencang; the remaining army would retreat to Yumi and Yongcheng for follow-up plans.

If Huang Quan wins, Wu Yi and Ma Dai will go forward and directly attack Sima Yi's camp, and the army will press on, so that the retreating Sima Yi army cannot easily retreat.

As for the retreat of Sima Yi's army, it is not difficult to understand after thinking about it.At present, the two armies of Han and Wei are occupying the north and south of the Weishui River to confront each other. If any army on the Weishui River is defeated, it means that the remaining part will be used as a salient part, which is very easy to be pinched by the two armies.

On the other hand, after the big man defeated Cao Rui in Weinan, he would drive straight to Chang'an.The Manshui and Luogushui defense lines that previously defended Chang'an would also be difficult to stop Huang Quan's attack due to insufficient troops and insufficient preparation.

That's why the army of the great Han has already prepared both hands. If Huang Quan wins, he will go straight in; if Huang Quan loses, he will turn in.This is why Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang are not worried. The matter has come to an end, and the specific situation depends on Huang Quan's fortune. After all, they are not at the scene, so they can only wait for Huang Quan's battle report.

"Ok?"

Zhuge Liang picked up the brush on the pen holder again, and stared at Wu Ban.

Seeing this, Wu Ban withdrew his hand in embarrassment. Obviously, he was still in awe of Zhuge Liang and didn't dare to ask more questions.

Zhuge Liang held his pen and said calmly: "Yuanxiong seldom rests. If he can't wait, he can fall asleep for a while. Wait for the report from the Weinan Army before setting out to fight."

Wu Ban glanced at the emperor who was lying on the couch, and said in a low voice: "His Majesty Ban has no time to recuperate, and it is difficult to fall asleep, so let's wait quietly for the good news to arrive!"

Zhuge Liang smiled without saying a word, looking down at the official document in his hand.

Wu Ban was still restless, he walked out of the tent and felt the fresh breath outside.

While Wu Ban was looking around, the army sent scouts to investigate the situation and returned to the army, passed through several camps, and rushed to the tent of the Chinese army.

Wu Ban recognized the scout, strode up to meet him, and asked anxiously, "How is the battle going?"

The scout stopped and panted and said: "General Wu, our army won the battle of Wuzhangyuan. When I arrived at the bank of the Weishui River, I saw the Wei army fleeing in a hurry under the night and captured a Wei soldier. He said that the chariot general besieged the Wei army on all sides. In the big camp, the sound of drums shook the sky, and under the overwhelming pressure, the soldiers of the Wei army fled."

Hearing this, Wu Ban grinned to the ears, grabbed the scout's arm, strode into the tent, and told everyone the good news.

As soon as he entered the account, Wu Ban was about to speak. Seeing that the emperor was still sleeping on the couch, he didn't dare to speak loudly, but greeted everyone in a low voice: "Prime Minister, the chariot general won tonight..."

"Huh?" Liu Chan opened his eyes, sat up straight, and said, "Win, and the voice is still so low, what's wrong with Wu Qing?"

"Ah?" Wu Ban said in surprise, "Your Majesty is still asleep?"

Liu Chan chuckled, put the sword in his arms on the couch, and jokingly said: "Qing's low voice is like the sound of a golden drum, can I fall asleep?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed.Yang Yi joked and said: "The battle in Weinan still can't disturb your Majesty's mind. From this point of view, General Wu's voice is far more powerful than Wei's sword."

"Ha ha!"

Wu Ban was not embarrassed either, he smiled a few times in a friendly manner, and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, the chariot generals besieged Cao Rui from all sides, the Wei army was defeated, and Cao Rui disappeared. Our army can take advantage of the opportunity to march quickly. After His Majesty leads the army to suppress, Ban and Bo Zhan will lead the army to prevent Sima Yi from retreating easily."

When Liu Chan was about to order the pursuit, he thought of Zhuge Liang, so he asked, "Since the prime minister is the commander-in-chief of the army, what do you think of Wu Qing's words?"

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, thought for a while, and said: "Although the damage of the two armies is unknown, I think it is feasible. You can let Wu Ban and Ma Dai lead the army in the front, and you can't let Sima Yi's army flee lightly. At the same time, send soldiers to support Under the command of General Cheqi, His Majesty and ministers will lead the army to overwhelm and come later."

Liu Chan hesitated for a while, and said: "I thought that the general of the chariots defeated the Wei army with a small number of people in the night, but the victory is not a big victory. It is better for me to lead the troops to the south to support the general of the chariots. I marched in Weinan to attack Chang'an, And Qing led an army to chase and kill Sima Yi's army in Weibei, and I and Qing joined together at the city of Chang'an. How?"

Zhuge Liang stood up, bowed his hands to Liu Chan, and said, "I would like to obey your Majesty's orders."

Seeing Zhuge Liang's humility, Liu Chan showed a smile on his face, and said, "In this case, I'm going to fight Sima Yi with Lao Xiangfu."

"Don't dare!"

Liu Chan went to Weinan to pick the peach of Chang'an, and it was also to protect Zhuge Liang and Huang Quan.

As military commanders and as Tuogu ministers of the great Han, they are high and powerful, and they have to recover Chang'an, which has greatly improved their prestige.But they are already extremely human ministers, if they are too conspicuous, it is not a good thing for them.

After all, the capture of Chang'an was far more political than military for the Shu Han.Once Liu Chan regains Chang'an, it will be beneficial to him to announce to the world that your big man will return like lightning!
