"Yes." Pang Tong nodded, then spread the map on the floor, and invited Li Yan and Wang Wei to come and watch. After the three of them sat down, Pang Tong first pointed to Shouchun, Jiangling, and Hanzhong counties, and said:

"In these three aspects, I, Lu Su, and Jushou have all taken care of their worries and contained the Shu Army and the Jiangdong Army. But..."

At this point, Pang Tong pointed to Chang'an in the north, and Xu County said: "But Ma Teng, Han Sui, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao are still there. It is not easy for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to defeat them. It can be said that they have no chance. But the princes in Guanzhong are different.

.This general has already learned about the general's plan. After defeating the Shu army, this general will leave Hanzhong, enter Guanzhong from the Xie Valley, and sneak attack the rear of the heroes in Guanzhong to create chaos. The general himself will lead an army of 30,000 to fight against the heroes in Guanzhong.

Defeat the heroes in the pass first, then you can have enough energy to support Xu County and Hulao Pass."

Pang Tong and Wang Wei already knew about Liu Feng's decision, but Li Yan didn't. When he heard the news, he couldn't help being shocked and said: "The general led an army of 30,000 to fight against 300,000 elite troops.

General, you sent 6,000 elite troops to Xiegu Pass and entered the pass. There is also a huge disparity in strength. Isn't this too risky?"

Li Yan originally thought that they had shared the worries on the front and rear, so Pang Tong raised the most elite troops to support Sili, mainly to defend against the heroes. When the heroes ran out of food, they naturally retreated.

Unexpectedly, Liu Feng actually wants to take the initiative to attack and defeat the heroes in the pass first.[

"How to defeat 300,000 elite troops with 30,000 elite troops is the general's business. I will just follow the order and lead the troops northward without questioning." Pang Tong said solemnly after hearing this.

No doubt, what kind of trust is this.

"Promise." Li Yan was shocked when he heard this. He understood Pang Tong's intention and promised in a deep voice.

"In three days, I will rest for three days before I can lead the troops north. After I took away 6,000 elite troops, you only have 4,000 elite troops left. I will allow you to drop troops from Shu and expand your army to 10,000.

Two thousand, continue to guard Hanzhong. With General Wang as the leader, General Li Yan is resourceful, General Wang should listen to General Li more." Pang Tong ordered.

Pang Tong said this premeditatedly. Wang Wei was Liu Feng's confidant, and the difference came out as soon as Li Yan surrendered. It is common sense to give priority to Wang Wei, but Pang Tong praised Li Yan for his resourcefulness, which actually won Li Yan's heart.

"Promise." Wang Wei and Li Yan really had no objections when they heard this, and they all agreed.

"Immediately send fast horses to Luoyang and tell the general that Pang Tong did not let him down and defeated the Shu army. Ask the general to mobilize his troops and defeat the heroes in the pass." Pang Tong took a deep breath and ordered.

"Promise." Wang Wei and Li Yan agreed again, then said goodbye and walked out.

"Huh." After the two left, Pang Tong exhaled, then left the study without hesitation and went to the bedroom to rest. After last night's battle, he was really tired.

Baishui Pass, in the lobby of the General's Mansion.

Wu Yi, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Wang Feng, Deng Dian, Huang Quan, Zheng Du and others sat in order of priority. Everyone's expressions were very gloomy.

Come in glory, go in despair.

After counting, everyone already knew that of the 50,000 elite troops of the Ten Route Army, only five generals including Wu Yi, Huang Quan and Zheng Du, and 20,000 Shu troops were left. The losses were heavy.

"For the time being, guard Baishui Pass to prevent the Han army from pursuing the victory, and then send someone to inform the king." After a long time, Zheng Du sighed and said.

"Yeah." Wu Yi also sighed and nodded.

Soon after, several fast horses headed for Chengdu, while Wu Yi and others stayed at Baishui Pass and began to reorganize the army.

Three days later, that is, the fourth year of Wulue, February 28th. After the Shu army only deployed for more than ten days, they retreated in despair behind Baishui Pass.
