    As expected by Ma Su, Gan Ning sent a force of troops over the mountains to the north before Ma Chao asked him for reinforcements.  When Zhang Fei was still alive, he wrote to Gan Ning, asking him to send troops to join Liu Feng and attack Chengdu, but Gan Xingba refused.  However, Gan Ning also learned about this that the main force of Hanzhong went south and the defense was empty, so he discussed with his subordinates: "The emperor has passed away and the country is in turmoil. What if the Wei people take advantage of the opportunity to attack?" Wang Ping suggested: "If the Wei people come, one day  Take Bazhong, and secondly, take Hanzhong. Bazhong is guarded by the general, and there is no danger. However, Hanzhong is empty now, and we must rescue it. If Hanzhong is lost, the gates will be opened, and Bazhong will not be able to hold on for long. " Gan  Ning said okay, then I will send you, Zijun, to reinforce Hanzhong, but - I don't have enough troops here. I can give you three thousand soldiers and horses at most.  Wang Ping patted his chest and said: "If the soldiers are brave but not numerous, they will live up to the general's trust." So Wang Ping led the three thousand infantry and went north through Xuanhan County to rescue Hanzhong.  What he was most worried about was that he was a step late and the Wei army had already entered the Hanzhong Basin. If Nanxiang County was blocked, he would have no choice but to return home sadly.  But he was afraid that he would bump into something, so he sent out sentries from a distance and came back to report: "The top of Nanxiang City is covered with the Cao family's flags!" Wang Ping couldn't help but stamp his feet and beat his chest: "I'm too late!" But!  Really unwilling to give in, he put on civilian clothes that night and approached Nanxiang through the trail to see with his own eyes - to see how many men and horses the defenders had and whether there was any opportunity to make good use of it.  On the way, they encountered refugees escaping from the city. They said that the Wei army only had a few thousand people, and that they had taken the city the day before yesterday.  Today there was a sudden search of residential buildings in the city.  Kill pigs and sheep.  There seems to be an intention to leave.  You must know that due to the limited material conditions in this era, the soldiers' daily meals were very monotonous, and they often could only eat half full. Once meat was added, it was probably to boost their morale and draw them into battle.  Wang Ping was surprised: "When the Wei people first arrived, they didn't guard Nanxiang. Where will they go?" He thought for a long time.  Suddenly a flash of light came to his mind - "Is Dewuyu attacking the city solid?!" Wang Ping's guess was correct. He thought that Ma Su and Ma Youchang easily captured Nanxiang County that day. They should have been firmly on guard to prevent the Ba army, but  Although Ma Di told Cao Zhen that the Ba army might go north early, it was just to find an excuse for him to lead an army and make achievements. Deep down in his heart, he actually felt that the Ba army would have to wait three to five days to go north no matter what.  .  He sent people to visit the area near Chenggu.  It happened that Ma Chao recalled Du Lu, and the Wei army spies saw the Shu army dismantling the Gukou camp from a distance.  Return to Ma Su.  Ma Su was overjoyed: "If I can seize the opportunity to fortify the city with thin walls, Ma Chao will retreat, and Akasaka will be easily captured. This is my first achievement!" So he collected meat in the city, gave the soldiers a good meal, and planned to leave the city early tomorrow morning.  Go attack Chenggu - you may not be able to defeat it, but you just need to assume an attacking posture and force Ma Chao to return reinforcements. After that, it won't be too late for me to come back to defend Nanxiang.  Who would have thought that before Ma Su left, Wang Ping reached the gate of Nanxiang City with his hind legs. The Shu people in the city secretly opened the city gate, let the Shu army enter, and killed all the hundreds of Wei troops who were left behind.  When Ma Su heard the news on the way, he was shocked and turned around to snatch it away - he came back too quickly, and before the city gate could be closed, he and Wang Ping were fighting in Nanxiang City.  Although Wang Zijun used his troops without any tricks, he was quite rigorous. Ma Youchang led his troops into battle for the first time. When they started fighting, he realized that the military strategies written in the military books only pointed out a general direction and lacked specific implementation details - for example  What should you do if the enemy troops ascend high and shoot from a long distance, blocking the streets?  Which part of a city should be controlled first in order to steer the battle in your favor?  Originally, the number of soldiers on both sides was about the same, with the Shu army being slightly less than the Wei army. Furthermore, the Shu army had just captured the city and fought a battle from afar, so they were a little tired. However, the Wei army had just had a good meal last night and had a good night's sleep.  Physical strength is still at its peak.  However, "one general is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted." In just over half an hour, the Wei army was defeated. Ma Di finally led the remaining troops to withdraw from the city, then walked around the city and fled back to Shiquan in one breath.  At this time, Shen Yi, the prefect of Fangling, was in Shiquan City, with only more than 2,000 troops under his command.  In fact, if these two thousand men and the remnants of Ma Di held on, Wang Ping would definitely not be able to take them down. However, once the morale of Ma Di's army was low, Shen Yi panicked again, so he rushed to notify the front line - "Nanxiang."  We've lost, nearly 10,000 Ba troops are coming to attack my retreat!" Cao Zhen was so angry that he overturned several cases in front of him. Then he glanced at Niu Jin and said to himself, "You are a good talent!"  Niu Jin also felt that his face was dishonored, but he couldn't understand. Even if the Ba army really had ten thousand people, why would Nanxiang County fall in an instant without any warning?  How did Ma Youchang fight this battle?  !  "It's a pity that the success failed, and now we have to retreat." We had no choice but to retreat to Shiquan for the time being, and at the same time, we urged Jingzhou to allocate grain and grass and find another opportunity to enter the Han Dynasty.  At this critical moment, Xu Gongming was veryCalmly, he analyzed and said: "Ba County is vast. According to spies, there are less than 20,000 troops stationed in each county. Gan Ning can only use no more than 10,000 troops. How dare he send out his entire army to help Hanzhong? What if?  If they do come, the Jingzhou army can march straight into Yufu. Therefore, I expected that the enemy would be no more than three thousand ears" Niu Jin said no, Ma Su had four thousand troops under his command, and he captured Nanxiang in advance.  City, if the opponent only has three thousand soldiers, how can it be defeated in an instant?  Xu Huang rolled his eyes: "I don't know." Who knows how your baby fights?  Ignoring Niu Jin at the moment, he continued to state his thoughts: "The army can also retreat, but it doesn't have to be far away. Now Akasaka can be attacked overnight, and if I retreat in a hurry, Ma Chao will definitely come after me and lure his cavalry into the mountain road. It will be easy to defeat."  " Cao Zhen said that this was a good strategy, but what if Ma Chao refused to pursue him?  Xu Huang said with a smile: "Then I will use all my strength to defeat the enemy in Nanxiang and rest in the mountains for the time being. Now that Zhang Junyi is in the west, he will attack Yangping urgently. Does Ma Chaoan have any reason to stay for a long time without leaving? Wait for him to leave, and I will be more careful.  "Aren't you, Ma Chao, trying to block me?"  But you can block one end, but not both. We haven't eaten up all the food and grass yet, so we can retreat and show weakness for the time being. When Ma Chao leaves, it won't be too late for us to attack Akasaka again.  Cao Zhen nodded and retreated overnight, leaving Xu Huang in ambush on both sides of the mountain road.  Look for opportunities to snipe Ma Chao's pursuit team.  Besides, Ma Chao got up and took a look the next day.  The Wei army retreated overnight.  They couldn't help but wonder: "I thought they would break through Akasaka within three days, how could they retreat so suddenly?" Ma Dai said: "This is because they will run out of food." They also did not expect that Bazhong's reinforcements would arrive so quickly, and they could do so in an instant.  Break through Nanxiang.  Ma Chao said that in this case, let¡¯s try to pursue him.  Ma Dai hurriedly stopped: "No." The enemy retreated into the mountain road. It is not easy for our cavalry to travel on the mountain road and it is easy to be ambushed, so we should just let them go.  Ma Chao shook his head: "Zhang He is rushing to attack Yangping today. Chen Shi is in danger three times a day. We cannot stay here for a long time. If we don't chase and take the opportunity to destroy the enemy's courage, Cao Zhen will wait for me to leave and come back. What can we do?" It is in our best interest?  The situation is that the pursuit was successful and the Wei army was frightened. In addition, they were out of food and grass, and they would be huddled in the Shiquan and Xicheng areas for a short time, and they did not dare to attack Akasaka in a large scale.  Then I will have the opportunity to rescue Yangping Pass in the west and look for an opportunity to kill Zhang He and retreat.  so.  You have to try to chase it.  He immediately ordered Chen Huo to lead four thousand infantry to pursue him. He led the rest of his troops, especially the cavalry, to rest for a day at the foot of Akasaka Stronghold. If the situation did not change much, he could rescue Yangping from the west.  Half a day after Chen Zhuo left, he suddenly galloped into Ma Chao's camp on both front and rear horses.  The first cavalry was an envoy sent by Wang Ping to communicate. In fact, none of the princes dared to attack Shiquan. They were just bluffing to confuse the Wei army. The main force was still in Nanxiang. The envoy came from Chenggu in a circle.  Ma Chao was shocked when he heard the report: "It turns out that the enemy has not run out of food!" He quickly ordered: "Summon Chen Shu back quickly!" But then came the news that Chen Shu was attacked in Huanghuang Town, died of an arrow, and his subordinates were scattered  Over there, Xu Huang set up an ambush and defeated Chen Hu, and also got the news that the Ba army had not attacked Shiquan. He did not wait to report to Cao Zhen and took the initiative to fight back.  Ma Chao had no choice but to help Liu Ning out of Akasaka and retreated to the city in embarrassment.  In this way, the Wei army finally captured Akasaka and marched into peace. Then Cao Zhen ordered that all nearby people's houses be looted for me, and not a grain of food was spared!  Besides, when Wang Ping heard that Akasaka was lost, he was forced to abandon Nanxiang and come to Chenggu to join Ma Chao.  The remaining soldiers from all walks of life gathered, and there were nearly ten thousand people.  Ma Chao said that I had no way to retreat. Let's fight the enemy in Chenggu. If we can kill him by luck, Hanzhong can still be saved. If we lose, we can only abandon Hanzhong and retreat to Zilu first, and defend Jiange.  .  Why hasn¡¯t the fight in the south been finished yet?  Whether it's Liu Chanying or Liu Fengying, you hurry up and send people over for reinforcements!  In the midst of panic, bad news came one after another.  First, he saw the flag of the Liangzhou Army at Yangping Pass, and estimated that Xiabian had been lost; secondly, Chen Shi sent an envoy to report that he would defend Yangping for five more days at most, and if there was no reinforcement, the pass would be broken; Article 3  According to the news, another Wei army came from Jigu and went straight to the praise.  Speaking of the third Wei army, it was naturally led by Commander-in-Chief Shi Xun and Hong Fu.  Shi Xun was in Hanzhong, and Xingwen was surrounded by people and horses to support him, and soon he had more than 10,000 people. However, he did not plan to leave yet - there had to be good news from the front line, and I knew that the battle of Hanzhong was definitely won, so that I could pick the fruits.  ah.  But Lu Ziming urged him three times a day, saying that as a general, it is not okay for you to stay in Chang'an all the time. You have to go to Hanzhong to show off!  Lu Meng was very depressed. He originally planned to follow Cao Zhen and conquer Shu, but unexpectedly he was summoned back by Shi Xun. From then on, he was sent to the shogunate and began to coordinate the transportation of troops, horses, and food.  He said to himself that from Soochow to Cao Wei, my reputation was gained through fighting. You are a Taiwei, don't think that I have been a civil servant for a period of time, just use me as a staff officer or even a staff member.  Look at you like this, do you want to wait for the dust of the Hanzhong battle to settle?If you continue to move forward after this, then what achievements can I make by following you?  Therefore, he repeatedly urged and said that the Shu people had insufficient troops and retreated to the area around Nanzheng. The defense capabilities of the forts set up at the entrance of each valley were very limited. Taiwei, you have these 10,000 troops, which are enough to go south to support Lord Cao.  After all, Cao Zhen and the others are fighting an arduous battle. Although the Shu people are outnumbered and outnumbered, if we don't go to reinforce them, there really is no sure-fire strategy for victory.  All in all, there is no point in waiting with Chang'an. You have to enter Hanzhong to win this battle.  Shixun was so angry by him that Jushou also arrived in Chang'an. Shixun showed him the battle report from the front line and asked: "Does Zifu think I should advance?" Jushou pondered for a long time and replied: "A good opportunity cannot be missed.  , If the victory fails due to the failure of the governor to stop the troops, I'm afraid your majesty will have nothing to answer for." Shi Xunxin said that since Ju Shou and Lu Meng both said that we should move forward, then okay, I will listen to the experts and try to move Nawo.  Well (To be continued.)
