    After a while, Ma Chao finally made a breakthrough and was about to give chase.  There was a loud bang, and Pound stood in front of Ma Chao with a knife. The lion-headed machete suddenly emitted a shocking red light, and a red lion appeared on the blade.  Ma Chao saw it with keen eyesight, and immediately used the lion's running spear to split the sky. The brocade and silver lion's tooth spear seemed to be surrounded by colorful silver light, and a divine lion with a white snake tail came out impressively.

    Between the lightning and flint, swords and guns suddenly collided.  At the time of the collision, the two of them seemed to see the angry red lion baring its teeth and claws, the white snake-tailed divine lion opening its bloody mouth, and the two lions suddenly biting each other.

    With a loud bang, the brocade silver lion tooth gun and the lion head machete collided with each other. The two of them rushed forward. Ma Chao roared angrily and stabbed Pang De in the left shoulder.  The knife cut a dazzling line of fire on Ma Chao's breastplate.  Ma Chao flew dozens of meters with his horse and man, and Pang De's horse screamed and fell to the ground.  Pound lost his position and fell to the ground. At this time, he was exhausted and did not even have the strength to stand up. Several northwest generals rushed to protect Pound.  As soon as Ma Chao retreated into the formation, he was immediately surrounded and killed by soldiers from the northwest.

    Zhang Ren was fighting Cheng Gongying on the other side. The two fought for dozens of rounds. Zhang Ren was better than Cheng Gongying, but their martial arts skills were not comparable. For a while, Zhang Ren was unable to defeat Cheng Gongying quickly.  Although Zhang Ren fought with Cheng Gongying, he had always paid attention to Wenhan. Seeing Wenhan escaping from danger one after another, he was horrified and regretful in his heart.

    Suddenly, a shocking shout of killing came.  It turned out that Zhao Yun led most of the northwest soldiers and horses back to the rescue. When Zhang Ren saw this, he felt as if he had fallen into the ice abyss. He thought Liu Bei had been killed by Zhao Yun, so he did not dare to fight hard and ordered his soldiers to evacuate quickly.  Xichuan's rear army retreated sharply, and the formation suddenly became chaotic.  Zhang Ren hurriedly killed Kaicheng Gongying and ordered all the generals to retreat.  Sergeant Nishikawa knew that the situation of the battle was extremely serious and that if he fled even half a step slower, he would definitely die, so he scrambled to flee in all directions.  Seeing that the situation was not good, Ma Chao and Tai Shici did not care to pursue Wen Han anymore, and quickly sacrificed their lives to fight their way out to escape.

    Fortunately, the Northwest Army had been fighting for days, and all the soldiers were exhausted. They fought bravely just now, but they just persisted with a strong will. Now the tense nerves relaxed, and a strong sense of fatigue suddenly surged up.  Wen Han also knew that the soldiers were tired, and he also understood the principle of not pursuing the enemy when they were in trouble. He did not order the Xichuan army to be killed, and allowed the Xichuan soldiers and horses to escape one after another.

    At this point, the battle on Dingjun Mountain finally came to an end.  Although the Northwest Army won a great victory, it paid a huge price. It lost its army of food, grass and baggage. No matter how numerous, brave and elite it was, it would be difficult to continue the war for a long time.

    Wenhan reorganized his troops and ordered the army to retreat to an empty valley, build a rough camp and rest for the time being.  Zhao Yun came to see Wen Han in a hurry. When Wen Han saw Zhao Yun coming, his face lit up with joy, but he suddenly saw Zhao Yun dismount and kneel down.

    When Wenhan saw this, he couldn't help but frown, and felt secretly in his heart.

    "Is it possible that Liu Da'er will escape another difficulty!?"

    As soon as Wenhan had this idea, he heard Zhao Yun tell his story one by one.  When Wenhan heard that Liu Bei had ridden his horse and crossed a 200-meter-long natural chasm, he was horrified.  If he hadn't known Zhao Yun's virtue and that he was an honest person, he would have thought that Zhao Yun was careless and derelict in his duties and deliberately used this ridiculous excuse to deceive him.

    Wenhan's sword eyes glowed with cold light, but he finally suppressed the anger in his heart and sighed in a condensed voice.

    "The big-eared thief's life should not be cut off. With God's blessing, God does not want to take his life. That's it, that's it!!!"

    Li You was afraid that Wenhan would ignore the current situation and insist on chasing Liu Bei, so he quickly offered his advice.

    "Lord, our army's food supply can only last for three days at present. In addition, the soldiers are tired from long battles, so we must not start fighting lightly again. Based on your opinion, we should return to Anhan as soon as possible and order the counties and counties in Dongchuan to urgently allocate food supplies as supplies.  Moreover, it takes half a month to assemble food and grass. The Lord would like to use this half month as a buffer to allow the soldiers to rest and recharge their batteries before continuing their great mission in Shu."

    As soon as Li You finished speaking, Cheng Gongying beside him also raised his hand.

    "However, Dongchuan has been fighting continuously in recent years, and the grain reserves in various counties and counties are about to be exhausted. The grain and grass that can be allocated can sustain our army for half a month at most. In addition, according to Zhong Yao's report, there is not much grain left in Yong and Liang prefectures. The Lord should be here  Within half a month, we will come up with a complete strategy to ensure that the war in Shu is safe. If we can break through Jiameng Pass, great things can be done.

    Xichuan is a land rich in money and food. Our army can fight to support the war. We will first use the food from Dongchuan, Yong, and Liang to slowly maintain it. After conquering the cities and counties in Xichuan and seizing their food, we will not worry about the shortage of food and grass.  But if they cannot defeat Jiameng Pass within half a month, they will run out of food and grass.  Within a year, the Xichuan War will be difficult to repeat!

    "Fortunately, after a series of fierce battles with the Xichuan Army, our army suffered heavy losses in strength. At the same time, it also defeated Huang Zhong, a peerless warrior.He captured and killed Yan Yan, the general of Xichuan.  The enemy's army is greatly weakened. If our army is overturned and we attack, how can we be invincible?

    "I also hope that the lord will obey Li Jijiu's words, put the overall situation first, and withdraw his troops for the time being.  "

    Cheng Gongying and Li You sang and analyzed the truth and situation, and cleverly persuaded Wenhan to withdraw his troops.  Wenhan naturally understood the truth, nodded and smiled brightly.

    "What you said is absolutely correct. We should follow it."

    Wenhan decided to settle down and ordered all troops to rest for a day and withdraw the troops the next day.  All the soldiers in the northwest were overjoyed to hear that the fighting had ceased and their tense and nervous nerves were finally relaxed.

    The next day, the Northwest Army finished its rest.  Wen Han led most of the rear army to retreat to Anhan first, while Zhao Yun led a small force to stay behind to prevent Zhang Ren from attacking.

    At the same time, in Jiameng Pass.  Zhang Ren learned from Taishi Ci that yesterday Liu Bei sent Taishi Ci to help in the battle regardless of the danger in order to successfully kill Wenhan.  Zhang Ren's face was full of surprise when he heard this, and he sighed Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness. At the same time, he felt an extremely bitter taste in his heart, as if he felt extremely guilty for failing to kill Wen Han.

    Liu Bei¡¯s life or death was uncertain, and generals such as Hua Xiong and Tai Shi Ci were extremely impatient.  Wenpin and Chen Shi had already led their troops to explore the Dingjun Mountain area.  Jiameng Pass seemed to be cast under a shadow because of Liu Bei's accident.  Fazheng and Mengda looked at each other silently, and both sighed with regret and frustration.

    Suddenly, soldiers came to report that Liu Bei had escaped and had been found by Wenpin and Chen Shi's men.  Zhang Ren was overjoyed when he heard this, and all the soldiers in Xichuan were also ecstatic.  Zhang Ren rushed out of the war building and led a group of Xichuan soldiers to wait at the foot of the pass.

    When I was young, a gust of wind and dust stirred up outside the pass, and a group of people rushed over.  Zhang Ren looked anxiously at the man who cast his gaze, and gradually saw Liu Bei's figure, and immediately clapped his horse to look for Liu Bei to greet him.  The Xichuan soldiers behind him also followed closely on horseback.

    Liu Bei was on his way. When he saw Zhang Ren riding his horse, he reined in his horse and stopped.  Zhang Ren rode up to Liu Bei, dismounted, bowed his hands to Liu Bei, and bowed guiltily.

    "Zhang Ren is incompetent!! He has failed the great uncle of the emperor!!"

    Zhang Ren¡¯s move immediately surprised everyone on the field.  Zhang Ren has always been extremely disgusted with Liu Bei and has never had a good face. Now he is willing to lower his arrogant head and apologize to Liu Bei. It is really unexpected.

    Liu Bei was overjoyed when he saw Zhang Ren kneeling down. He knew that his act of sacrificing his life yesterday must have won Zhang Ren's respect.  Liu Bei quickly dismounted, helped Zhang Ren up, and spoke to Zhang Rang softly.

    "Captain Zhang does not need to blame himself. Wen Bufan's soldiers are brave and tough, and it will undoubtedly be difficult to kill him. But fortunately, his army has lost all its food and fodder, and it is difficult to continue the war. It must have been withdrawn by this time. Our army is now  If you lose your troops and generals, your strength will be greatly reduced. You should make preparations quickly, use deep trenches to build a base, and prepare Wen Bufan to raise his troops to make a comeback!"

    What Liu Bei said was exactly what Zhang Ren wanted.  Zhang Ren nodded and responded.

    "What the emperor said is absolutely true. The crisis at Jiameng Pass has not been eliminated, and we still need to rely more on the emperor. In the past, Zhang had offended something, and I hope that the emperor has a lot of people, so don't worry about it."

    "Hey! What Gu Yi said is wrong! For my brother Ji Yu, you risked your life to defend this place and ensure the peace of Yizhou. Who in Shu does not praise Gu Yi for his greatness! Be able to work with Gu Yi  , It¡¯s really a blessing. I hope you and I can work together to repel Wen Bufan¡¯s army and protect Yizhou!¡±

    If it were the past, Zhang Ren would have dismissed Liu Bei's righteous words.  But after yesterday's battle, Zhang Ren's impression of Liu Bei changed greatly, and he really believed that what Liu Bei said was from the bottom of his heart.

    Zhang Ren was very moved when he heard the words, and he hurriedly bowed to Liu Bei.

    "The emperor's uncle is unparalleled in his benevolence and righteousness. It is really a blessing for the people of Shu that the emperor's uncle can help him!"

    Liu Bei laughed, then took Zhang Ren's hand and walked side by side intimately.  Fazheng secretly saw that Zhang Ren admired Liu Bei, and was overjoyed. At the same time, he also secretly admired Liu Bei's sagacity, decisiveness and ruthlessness, and his heroic act of sacrificing his life for righteousness, which won Zhang Ren's respect.

    At this point, Zhang Ren no longer made things difficult for Liu Bei and showed great respect.  Unknowingly, Liu Bei had won the hearts and minds of all Xichuan soldiers in Jiameng Pass.

    The war in Shu has come to an end for now.  And just one month ago, the imperial capital Luoyang.  Cao Cao received a letter from Wen Han and learned that Liu Bei had left Xichuan.  At that time, Cao Cao happened to be discussing with his ministers whether to take advantage of Wenhan's massive army to conquer Shu and take advantage of it to attack the northwest.

    Cao Cao¡¯s eyes shone brightly as if they were capable of swallowing the sky. After reading out the Wenhan document, he laughed with all the ministers.

    "Do you have any opinions on the current situation? Should I take advantage of Wen Bufan to send troops to Shu to conquer the northwest, or should I take advantage of Liu Bei's departure to Xichuan and march south to conquer Jingzhou?"

    Cao ?As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yu stood up to attend and bowed his hands.

    "In Yi Yu's opinion. Wen Bufan is the great leader of the world, sitting in the northwest. In the vast world, only his power is closest to that of King Wei. Although Liu Xuande was assisted by Zhuge Kongming, a unique genius, his power rose.  However, its foundation is not stable. Unlike Wen Bufan, who has been separatist in the northwest for many years, his power is deeply rooted and the people are loyal to him. Compared with Wen Bufan, Liu Xuande is just a shining light. Wen Bufan should be eliminated first.  Strategy, stabilize the situation, gather a million troops, and march south. Even if the Sun and Liu families join forces, they can only block the car with an egg and hit the stone with an egg. They are no match for the millions of troops of the King of Wei!"

    As soon as Cheng Yu¡¯s remonstrance came to an end, Xun You stood up to attend and retorted.
