Jiang Wei encountered the most difficult night in his life.

During the period when he was ordered to block Zhang He at the foot of Liupan Mountain, he would send military newspapers to Zhuge Liang every day and receive Zhuge Liang's military newspapers every day. They were two hundred and seventy miles apart, and it took a day and a night to get a fast horse.

It may be timely, but when it is continuous, they can still communicate with each other, and there is not much psychological interval.

This has become a habit. It is already a compulsory course for Jiang Wei to read the Prime Minister’s military newspaper before going to bed every day, write a military newspaper to report on the battle situation today, and answer questions in the Prime Minister’s military newspaper. I have not received any of the Prime Minister’s military newspapers.

Before the Military Daily, it was difficult for him to fall asleep. He often had to wait until midnight to finish reading before he could fall asleep with confidence.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang is also a rigorous and old-fashioned person, and this habit has never been broken.

However, this habit suddenly broke down one day after Cao Zhi arrived in Fengxian County.

Jiang Wei sat on the edge of the marching couch, holding his head, pressing his fingers on his temples. His temples were beating like his heartbeat.

He felt uneasy in his heart.

So far, he has received the latest information that Cao Zhi arrived in Fengxian County and is about to start a war with the Prime Minister. He has enough confidence in this battle and the Prime Minister has enough confidence. The main force who is waiting for work is facing more than 10,000 long-distance marches.

The tired army was not worth worrying even if Cao Zhi had two or three thousand cavalry in his hand. The terrain of Li County did not leave much space for the cavalry to charge, and Zhuge Liang also prepared many powerful tools for the cavalry, such as the horse-resisting formation and the trenches.

The reason why Zhuge Liang did not take the initiative to fight Cao Zhi, but stayed in Fengxian County to wait, was partly because of these measures. If these measures were rushing to prepare in the field marching, but on the prepared positions,

These are the nightmares for cavalry.

Jiang Wei couldn't think of a reason for Zhuge Liang to be defeated.

However, the day after the war started, he had not received a military newspaper from Zhuge Liang for a long time, which made him less confident in his previous statements. Things on the battlefield changed rapidly, and who knew what unexpected situations would happen, so he was as cautious as Zhuge Liang.

It is not guaranteed to be foolproof. Otherwise, why would this military newspaper be suddenly interrupted?

"When is it?"

"It's three o'clock in the middle of the day." A young maid came over and fiddled with the oil lamp. Seeing that the lamp oil in the lamp was about to bottom out, hesitated for a moment and looked at Jiang Wei: "General. Do you have to wait any longer?"

Jiang Wei frowned and hesitated for a moment: "Add some lamp oil, I'll look at the map for a while."

The maid responded, turned around and went out. After a while, she brought the oil pot, added some oil to the lamp, and turned it on. She looked at Jiang Wei, and wanted to speak but stopped. Jiang Wei heard his footsteps.

, he couldn't help but turn his head in surprise: "Why haven't you been out yet?"

"General..." The maid blushed: "The water situation has gradually increased in the past two days. Perhaps a mountain torrent has blocked the road, and the military newspaper has delayed..."

Jiang Wei smiled. But he stopped with a smile. "This is not what you should care about, go get some food."

The maid responded timidly, and did not dare to persuade him anymore, so she turned around and went out. Jiang Wei sighed. Her eyes fell back on the map, but she couldn't see it. He knew that this maid was kind-hearted, and Zhang He was just a stone's throw away. Tomorrow

He still has to fight. It is not appropriate for him to not sleep until this time. As the maid said, the temperature has been high in the past two days. There is a lot of rain. The person who sent the military newspaper may have been blocked by the sudden river on the road.

He doesn't have to be so nervous.

But he just couldn't let it go.

After a while, the maid brought a bowl of hot porridge, and the aroma of meat suddenly filled the tent. Jiang Wei's appetite was wide open, and she drank the meat porridge in a few mouthfuls. A heat surged all over her body, and she was exhausted all day long.

It dissipated a lot. He glanced at the maid's slightly red face and suddenly became interested in speaking: "What's your name?"

"Uriya." The maid stuck out her tongue and replied according to formal etiquette: "Report to the general, my name is Uriya."

"Uriya, aren't you a Han person?" Jiang Wei said in surprise: "No wonder your Chinese language is a bit weird."

"I am a Han, but I grew up in Fuyu. Uriya is the name of Fuyu people." The maid said with a smile. When she was happy, she forgot the etiquette. "Uriya means the moon in Qiaoshan."

"The moon in Qiaoshan?" Jiang Wei was a little dazed and looked outside the tent. A full moon hung on the top of the mountain, quietly looking at the world. "What a beautiful name. However, your appearance doesn't look like Fuyu at all.

people."

"My eldest mother is from Fuyu. My grandfather turned out to be a Han Chinese from Qiaoshan, Guanzhong, and fled to Fuyu. My grandfather was old and could not stand the bitter cold of the Beihai. He wanted to go home and die on the land in Guanzhong. Our family was a family.

The man returned from Beihai and was captured by the Xianbei people on the way and worked as slaves for several years. A few years ago, the Xianbei people killed each other and we escaped in the chaos." Uriya's eyes turned red: "But my grandfather

Both my mother died on the road, only my father and I escaped to Senei and returned to Guanzhong."

"Then why did you come to the army? The people in Guanzhong have been doing well in recent years."

"Guanzhong is doing well, but we have no household registration and no land. We either serve as slaves to those wealthy families or join the Heavenly Master. When my father was in Beihai, he believed in the Chishan God and was unwilling to convert to the Heavenly Master, and he did not want to believe in the Heavenly Master.

For tenants, he could do some carpenter work, sharpen knives and build armor, and then he went to the military baggage camp to find a way out. I helped the soldiers wash clothes, cook, and eat."

Uriya said, and laughed happily: "General, is the meat porridge I cooked delicious? The wounded love it."

Looking at Uriya's smiling face blooming like flowers, Jiang Wei frowned. He knew that some of the servile mates recruited by the military's baggage battalion were not uncommon for women in the camp, especially for the care of wounded people. Women were more likely to be more suitable than men.

Patience is more effective in soothing the wounded. However, women in the army may become camp prostitutes, whether they are active or passive. Uriya smiled so happily, not knowing whether she didn't know her fate or

Accepted his own destiny.

It is probably a luxury to be able to survive in her mind.

Jiang Wei felt inexplicably heartbroken. He thought for a while: "The meat porridge you cooked is indeed good. I will stay in my camp from now on and cook porridge for me."

"Okay, okay." Uriya clapped her hands excitedly: "I like it the most..." Her voice suddenly lowered and her head lowered. Jiang Wei looked at her in surprise and couldn't help but smile.

She is such a child who is not in the world. She has given her such great benefits, but she can't even thank her for her.

"Don't call Uriya in the future." Jiang Wei looked at the moon outside, and his originally anxious mood suddenly calmed down miraculously. "Just call Qiaoyue. I'm going to rest. From now on, you can prepare for me every morning.

A big bowl of such meat porridge.”

"Okay." Qiao Yue's two black eyes were glowing, and two rosy blew on her face, like the peach blossoms in March.

...

As the sun rose, Xiahou Ba led two thousand cavalry to the north along the Lishui Valley. He did not dare to look back, for fear that the sadness in his eyes would be seen by his subordinates. But he knew better that the mood of the knights behind him was not as relaxed than that of him.

He held the ring of the bird sword tightly. It was a vermilion bird that spread its wings and was about to fly. For so many years, he had been fixed on this knife ring. Now, he can finally spread his wings and fly high.

His ** may fall, but his soul will soar in the sky.

"Wow——" Xiahou Ba gently pulled the reins and strangled the war horse. The war horse slowly stopped, shook its head, shook its tail, shook its fur, and sweat went down the darker hair.

After nearly a month of long journey, the physical condition of these war horses has declined severely, and the overnight galloping has made them exhausted.

Xiahou Ba ordered to dismount and rest. Although he knew that time was tight, it was very important to maintain the physical strength of the war horse. Cao Zhi asked him to come to Jiang Wei and pick up Zhang He to enter Guanzhong. This task was not easy. If the war horse was not strong enough, the impact force would be severely reduced.

It is difficult to shake Jiang Wei's formation. From the battle of Fengxian County, he has already experienced the rigor of Zhuge Liang's battle formation. Jiang Wei is said to be a disciple trained by Zhuge Liang himself. He has quite a means in training troops, and his battle formation is probably not

It's so easy to fight. Otherwise, with Zhang He and Tian Yu's sophistication, Jiang Wei would have been defeated long ago.

There may be only one chance, which was exchanged for Cao Zhi and nearly 10,000 soldiers with their lives, and he cannot easily waste it.

Xiahou Ba looked at the surrounding terrain, found a guide to ask, and found a location marked on the map that Cao Zhi gave him, and rested inside. At the same time, he sent a knight with good physical strength to set up an ambush in the river valley, so he must

The connection between Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei is mainly carried out along this river valley. Of course, there are passages elsewhere, but it is not as fast as this river valley. Controlling this river valley is very large

To a certain extent, the connection between Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei was cut off, and even if it was delayed for one day, it was very necessary.

While hunting down the scouts of the Shu Han army, Xiahou Ba sent his scouts to bypass Jiang Wei's position and contact Zhang He as much as possible. He was only one hundred and fifty miles away from Jiang Wei's back, and he was riding his horse.

It can be arrived in one day, but Cao Zhi prepared him ten days of food, which is to give him more time and not be busy with food.

Now, Xiahou Ba can make arrangements calmly. He carefully recalled Cao Zhi's performance during this period, pondered the possible methods Cao Zhi might have taken, guessed Jiang Wei and Zhuge Liang's possible reactions, and wanted to use the military skills he learned from Cao Zhi.

Come and defeat Jiang Wei and Zhuge Liang, avenge Cao Zhi and recover Guanzhong. Only in this way can we comfort Cao Zhi's spirit in heaven.

After thinking for a while, Xiahou Ba found the best physical and martial arts camp: "You are ambushing into the valley, twenty miles away. No matter who they are, no matter whether they are dead or alive, they are not allowed to pass.

.If anyone lets go, come and see you."

"Here." Although the guards were also very tired, they said nothing and turned around and left.

Lifting against the stone wall, Niu Jin grinning in pain, looked at Xiahou Ba with a light of admiration in his eyes.
