    Chapter 297 Fear

    Liu Feng appointed Li Yan as the front vanguard on the spot. This decision somewhat surprised the generals.

    After all, in the final analysis, Li Yan is just a newly promoted general. Many people will feel uneasy if he is entrusted with such an important task.

    Liu Feng was not worried at all. You know, what he is best at is daring to use surrendered generals. Except for Wei Yanchendao, almost all of his generals were descended from generals, and even Huang Zhong was no exception.

    Liu Feng has a good grasp of people's hearts. If Li Yan wanted to take the opportunity to betray him, he would not dedicate such an important pass as Wuguan.

    What's more, Wuguan has been obtained, and Liu Feng's 100,000 troops can successfully advance into the pass. Even if Li Yan betrays him on the battlefield, it still cannot change Liu Bei's demise.

    Li Yan is not that stupid.

    Facts have proved that the generals¡¯ worries are unnecessary and everything is under control.

    Li Yan marched west along Danshui River at starry night with 5,000 infantry and cavalry, connecting Keshang County and Shangluo important areas along the way. After crossing the Zhongling Mountain, the troops advanced towards Lantian County.

    Lantian County is located in the southwest of Chang'an, only more than thirty miles away from Chang'an City. Once the city falls, the last barrier of Chang'an City will collapse.

    However, right here, Li Yan had to stop his progress because Liu Bei's reinforcements had arrived.

    A few days ago, when Liu Bei received Li Yan's urgent letter asking for help, he was shocked to realize that he had once again fallen into Liu Feng's plan.  close.

    After waking up, Liu Bei hurriedly mobilized troops from Pubanjin and Tongguan, and ordered all the troops heading for the Qinling Valley entrance to be transferred back. He assembled nearly 40,000 troops and rushed to Wuguan day and night.

    However, while Liu Bei was still on the way from Tongguan to Wuguan, Li Yan surrendered to Liu Feng, and the news that Wuguan had failed gave him another heavy blow.

    Liu Bei was so frightened that he had to speed up his march, trying to get to the front line of Shangluoshang County before Liu Feng's army advanced into Guanzhong. Although these two counties were not as dangerous as Wuguan, they were at least still dangerous to defend, as long as they could arrive in time.  , there is still hope to block Liu Feng's army from advancing westward.

    However, what made Liu Bei so angry that he wanted to vomit blood was that Li Yan not only betrayed him, but also acted as Liu Feng's vanguard. Using his status as the frontline commander of Wuguan, he forced the defenders of Shangluo and Shang counties to surrender without any blood.  Will.

    When Liu Bei's 40,000 troops rushed to Lantian, Li Yan's army had already entered the vast Guanzhong Plain, and a large number of Liu Feng's troops would follow.

    In Guanzhong, there is no danger to defend.

    Liu tried to rely on his short-term strength advantage to first defeat Li Yan's regiment, and then seize the Zhongling Mountain. According to the mountain pass, he went down to the stronghold and used the only remaining terrain to resist Liu Feng's army.

    Li Yan was very smart. He knew very well that he was no match for Liu Bei. Therefore, after detecting the situation of the enemy forces in Lantian, he decisively retreated dozens of miles and settled in the Zhongling Mountain area first, waiting for Liu Feng's backup.

    Although the attack failed, Li Yan was still confident in defending. He used 5,000 soldiers and horses to hold on and withstood the attack of Liu Bei's 40,000 troops for two days.

    Two days later, reinforcements led by Liu Feng arrived one after another.

    Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Liu Bei had no choice but to withdraw his troops towards Lantian. Forty thousand troops and horses camped east of Lantian, forming a corner with the city.

    Liu Feng's 100,000 soldiers and horses passed through the Zhongling Mountains one after another and slowly approached Lantian. A few days later, the 100,000-strong army camped several miles away, forming a large army to suppress Liu Bei.

    After setting up camp and setting up camp, Liu Feng wrote a letter of war in his own hand, hoping to meet Liu Bei for a decisive battle.

    At Lantian Camp, when Liu Bei read this letter of challenge, his hands were trembling slightly.

    Anger, regret, shame

    At this time, Liu Bei could no longer tell how he felt, but one thing he was sure of was fear.

    This is the first time he has been afraid of Liu Feng in so many years.

    Even when he was trapped in Yizhou and homeless, even when he was defeated in Hanoi and barely escaped to heaven, Liu Bei was never afraid.

    Because Liu Bei firmly believed that the villain's rampage was only a temporary glory, and he was not his opponent after all.

    But now, when Liu Feng's 100,000-strong army stands at the door of his home, its bloody mouth has opened, intending to swallow up his final destination, Liu Bei can no longer hold on to that self-deceptive self-confidence.

    He is afraid, he is deeply afraid.

    In his mind, the scene of his defeat and capture seemed to have emerged. At that time, how would he face Liu Feng's superior eyes?

    foreheadIn the meantime, cold sweat was rolling down quietly.

    There was a deathly silence in the tent, and all the generals were silent. Even Fazheng, who always boasted of being resourceful, was silent at this moment.

    The matter has reached this point, and it is beyond the wisdom of human beings to restore it, and there is nothing he can do to correct the situation.

    "Liu Feng has issued a letter of challenge, what do you think?"

    After a long silence, Liu Bei asked feebly.

    "The enemy is strong and we are weak, and it is difficult to fight against them. In my opinion, it is better to abandon Chang'an and retreat all the army to Liangzhou. In the future, we can borrow the power of Qiang and Hu to rise again."

    After a long while, Fazheng finally spoke, but there was not much confidence in his tone.

    Liu Bei did not respond. He rejected Fa Zheng's suggestion with silence.

    "It's no wonder, Liangzhou is a remote place. The Qiang and Hu people helped Liu Bei before, because they were the princes who saw him, so they could give them benefits.

    "If he abandons Guanzhong now, then Liu Bei will be of no use to the Qiang people who see profit and forget their loyalty. At that time, these barbarians will only abandon him for profit.

    "Retreating to Liangzhou will only lead to a more miserable death. Moreover, throughout the ages, there has never been a situation where one state could compete with the entire world."

    The atmosphere in the tent became increasingly desolate, as if everyone's fighting spirit was disappearing.

    At this time, Ma Chao suddenly stood up and said sternly: "You are all bloody men. At most, you will die on the battlefield. Why are you so downcast?"

    Ma Chao tried to use such an exciting tone to boost the morale of the generals, but the effect was obviously not very good. The fighting spirit on the faces of the generals was still draining away rapidly.

    Liu Bei, on the other hand, was slightly refreshed.

    He looked at Ma Chao and asked: "Meng Qi is so heroic, does he have any strategy to defeat the enemy?"

    Ma Chao snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Although Liu Feng has a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, he has a fatal weakness. In my opinion, we may not be unable to defeat him."

    This sentence really moved Liu Bei's heart, and he hurriedly asked: "Meng Qi, continue talking."

    Ma Chao continued: "The Wuguan area is not conducive to cavalry warfare. Therefore, although Liu Feng came here with one hundred thousand soldiers, he had less than three thousand cavalry. I have ten thousand Xiliang cavalry under my command. As long as I can use them properly, I can defeat Liu Feng's one hundred thousand cavalry."  An army is not impossible.¡±

    Xiliang cavalry Yes, I still have 10,000 cavalry.

    Ma Chao's words were like giving Liu Bei a shot of chicken blood, and his gray face instantly flashed with a bit of excitement.
