    After Liu Cong led the army to Chang'an, he commended Wang Ping, and then appointed Zhong Yao as Jing Zhaoyin to temporarily handle the government affairs of Chang'an. Wang Ping continued to lead five thousand soldiers and horses to station in Chang'an, although there were no enemy troops around Chang'an now.  But if a group of soldiers and horses leave Ziwu Valley, they will not only threaten Chang'an, but also threaten Tongguan and Luoyang.  With Zhong Yao and Wang Ping in charge, Liu Cong was very relieved.

    After the army arrived in Xianyang, Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang had already withdrawn, and all the grain, weapons, and leather armor in the city were looted.  If time hadn't been tight and the sloping valley road was difficult to navigate, Zhuge Liang would probably have even evacuated the people.

    Liu Cong didn¡¯t delay much and continued westward.  When they were approaching Xicheng, the scouts reported that the Hanzhong Army was stationed at Wuzhangyuan and Xiahou Dun was stationed at Xicheng.

    "My lord, Cao Cao may have formed an alliance with Liu Bei!" Fazheng frowned.

    "Cao Cao and Liu Bei formed an alliance?" Liu Cong didn't believe it after hearing what Fazheng said, "This Liu Bei and Cao Cao have been on the same page since the battle in Xuzhou. Cao Cao has been chasing Liu Bei to Runan, Nanyang,  Xinye, Jiangxia, and Liu Bei almost died many times, how could they form an alliance?"

    "Yes, my subordinates also find it a bit strange, but judging from the current situation, it is very likely that they have formed an alliance. Xiahou Dun is stationed in Xicheng, and things are very strange."

    "When Zhuge Liang attacked Xianyang, Xiahou Dun might take the opportunity to capture Xicheng. There is nothing surprising about this." Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang were not here. The leaders of the Hanzhong Army were only Zhang Wei and Yang Ren. Their abilities were different from Xiahou Dun's.  In comparison, there should be a big gap.

    "What's strange is that Zhuge Liang is now stationing troops at Wuzhangyuan!" Fazheng frowned even more tightly, "Their troops are not pointing at Yicheng, but at us! And behind them is Xiahou Dun. Zhuge Liang is careful with his troops.  Under normal circumstances, you will never leave your enemies behind!"

    "This" Liu Cong thought for a while, and what Fazheng said was very reasonable. Judging from the situation of the garrison, Zhuge Liang and Xiahou Dun were playing tricks on each other. It was obvious that their goals were themselves.

    "Liu Bei is really hypocritical. He talks all about reviving the Han Dynasty and is at odds with Cao Cao. But in the blink of an eye, the two formed an alliance!" Li Yan also said angrily.

    "There are no permanent enemies, no permanent friends, only eternal strength. In troubled times, you can only rely on yourself!" Liu Cong's voice was full of confidence. Now he thought about it, and at the same time, he remembered this sentence from later generations.  .

    "There are no eternal enemies, no permanent friends, only eternal interests" Fazheng repeated Liu Cong's words, his mood suddenly brightened, and he bowed deeply to Liu Cong, "That's wonderful, my lord has profound insights.  One word revealed the mystery and allowed me to clear up the clouds and see the sun, and the enlightenment suddenly came!"

    Li Yan and Deng Ai were also impressed.

    Liu Cong was proud that these three people could admire him so much, but also a little embarrassed, "Xiaozhi, what should we do?"

    "Confront Zhuge Liang head-on, and if there is a chance, defeat Xiahou Dun!" Fazheng was also full of confidence.

    "Okay!" Although Zhuge Liang is as smart as a monster, Liu Cong knows that Fa Zheng will not lose to Zhuge Liang in terms of military ability. Coupled with Li Yan and Deng Ai, he is not afraid of Zhuge Liang.

    About three miles away from the Hanzhong Army camp, Liu Cong's army set up camp.  Zhuge Liang only had more than 10,000 troops, while Liu Cong had 40,000 troops. Therefore, Liu Cong's entire camp was shaped like a "mountain", with 20,000 troops in the middle, slightly protruding, and 10,000 troops on the left, led by the commanding general Li  Yan, with 10,000 troops and horses on the right, and the commanding general Deng Ai, were like three sharp knives aimed at Zhuge Liang's camp.

    When Zhuge Liang set up camp at Wuzhangyuan, he obviously did not think of taking the initiative and mainly defended.  Although there are only ten thousand soldiers and horses!  But arranged according to the directions of the eight formations, looking from a distance, they looked murderous, as if tens of thousands of elite soldiers were hidden.

    Liu Cong¡¯s troops and horses were more than three times his. It was obviously unwise to take the initiative. It was Zhuge Liang¡¯s overall strategy to stop with silence and use defense instead of attack.

    Except for Guan Ping who was patrolling the camp, Zhuge Liang summoned all the generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Wei, Yang Ren and others to the commander's tent.

    "Military advisor, Liu Cong's army has arrived, wehow should we deal with it?" Zhang Fei's voice was very loud, but this time he rarely offered to challenge.

    Huang Zhong, the number one general in Jingzhou, became even more famous after the battle with Guan Yu.  In the world today, the only one who can fight Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and others without falling behind is Huang Zhong.  Moreover, in people's private discussions, Huang Zhong has become the world's number one general.

    Zhang Fei looks reckless, but in fact he is rough and subtle.  He may not be afraid of Huang Zhong, but he will never be able to defeat Huang Zhong, so even if he choosesThere is no point in fighting.

    Guan Yu had a gloomy face and said nothing.  There was a huge defeat outside Chang'an City and the entire army was wiped out. No matter how arrogant he was, he didn't have much say here.

    In this era, if a general does not have his own troops, he will be in a very embarrassing situation.

    A strong general like Zhao Yun, after losing his own tribe in Changbanpo, could only serve as Liu Bei's bodyguard forever in the past history, and basically never led troops to fight any battles.  The same is true in current history. When Liu Bei used soldiers to break their wrists to escape in Jiangxia, he was the one he abandoned.  If he hadn't surrendered to Liu Cong, he might have been inactive all his life.

    "Yide, don't be impatient, we should remain unchanged and respond to the ever-changing situation!" Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan slightly, looking very relaxed and confident, "If Liu Cong wants to storm the camp, he will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and Xiahou Dun will also suffer heavy casualties at that time.  We will send troops to sneak attack Liu Cong's camp and defeat him."

    "Military advisor, what if Liu Cong stands still and confronts us?" Yang Ren's face was full of worry, "The grain and grass of the Han army can be transported through Luoyang and Chang'an, but our grain and grass have to go through the Xie Valley, the road  The rugged terrain will make it even more difficult for the Wei army to obtain food and grass, and over time, it will be extremely detrimental to us!"

    "Ha" Zhuge Liang chuckled a few times, "Colonel Yang is right. Indeed, a long-term confrontation will be detrimental to us, but it is impossible for Liu Cong to continue to confront us for a long time!"

    "Why is this?" Zhang Wei also felt a little confused. He was clearly on his own territory, so how could he say he couldn't hold on?

    "First of all, Xiahou Dun will not be so idle all the time. He is more impatient than us. He will definitely find trouble with Liu Cong!" Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan a few more times and looked to the south. "In addition, Xiangyang will not be so peaceful.  , if there is movement and chaos there, can Liu Cong still stay here? As long as we seize the opportunity, we will be able to retake Chang'an again!" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com
