"General, there is no way ahead." On the mountain road, the scout in charge of scouting came back and clasped his fists at Dian Wei.

Dian Wei spread out the map, and he didn't learn anything else by following Lu Bu, but he had the ability to read the map. After reading it for a long time, he asked someone to recruit the mountain dweller.

"You rascal, are you deliberately deceiving us!?" The lieutenant who followed Dian Wei grabbed the mountain man by the collar and said angrily.

"Don't dare~" Shanmin waved his hands tremblingly: "Xiaomin also walked there before, probably in this direction, and it's hard for Xiaomin to say exactly where."

"Okay." Dian Wei sat down, waved his hands and said, "Let the brothers rest for a while."

"General, all the dry rations brought by the soldiers have been eaten up." The lieutenant smiled wryly. They had been wandering in the mountains for three days.

Dian Wei closed his eyes and thought carefully about the things Lu Bu taught him. It usually sounds very useful, but at this time, he couldn't remember any of them, or he could remember them, and they were not related to the present.

However, it is one of the basic iron laws that the army must not run out of food. Although Dian Wei felt that it was okay to be hungry, the soldiers were running out of food. This was obviously the situation Lu Bu said, and it had to be resolved as soon as possible.

Or break into the enemy's camp to rob the enemy's food, or rob the enemy's food roads. Lu Bu usually did this. When he led his troops out, most of the time he only took three days of food, and the rest was all contributed by the enemy.

Dian Wei thought about the last time when Qianli attacked Meiji, he was almost trapped in the road by heavy snow. How did Lu Bu solve it?

Dian Wei recalled the last march, but it seemed that he hadn't solved it. After half a day without food, they arrived.

It's kind of like the current situation, but not like it.

At this time, as the main general, you must not be chaotic. Even if you have no choice, you must give people a calm look, and you must not let people see that I have no ideas.

Dian Wei looked at the people around him calmly, his calmness was scary, other problems were hard to solve, let's solve the problem of eating first.

"You, come with me." Dian Wei pointed to the mountain people.

The mountain people didn't know what he was going to do, but seeing his ferocious appearance, they were instinctively afraid, and wanted to escape, but they didn't dare to escape.

"General, why don't the last generals do it for you?" The deputy general hurriedly got up and said.

"Go hunt and feed the soldiers to satisfy their hunger. Don't get lost. The roads in the mountains are intricate and complicated. If you get lost and die in the mountains, don't blame me!" Dian Wei looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "I died in battle." That's nothing to say, but I don't want my brothers to die here!"

"The general should also bring two people with him. He has a helper." The deputy general said, and glanced at the mountain man. After all, he was not one of his own. If this kid escaped, their hope of getting out would be even slimmer.

Dian Wei also felt that it made sense, bringing two more people could help him carry some prey, so he immediately ordered four soldiers to take the mountain people to explore the road together, to see if there were any prey to hunt for the soldiers to satisfy their hunger.

It was winter, and the mountains were all barren. Looking at it at a glance, it was really not easy to find a prey. Fortunately, Dian Wei had hunted specially, and when it was almost evening, he found a tiger den and dragged the tiger out.

"Look, general." The mountain man suddenly pointed to the distance with excitement, and said to Dian Wei.

Dian Wei followed the opponent's gaze, and under the already dimmed skylight, a little bit of fire could be faintly seen in the distance.

Where does the fire come from in the deep mountains and old forests?

Dian Wei's eyes lit up, he dropped the tiger's body, and groped towards the direction of the fire. It took him a long time to run to the vicinity of the fire. There was a large army camp standing under a mountain wall. Looking down from here, it was not exactly the one blocking the fire. The camp of the Shu army on the dangerous road of Qishan Mountain?

After running for three days, just run this point! ?

Dian Wei rubbed his head, and looked at the mountain man with an unkind expression.

"It should be nearby, and Xiaomin just came here by chance." The mountain man was afraid to meet Dian Wei's eyes. In the dark night, Dian Wei's face looked particularly terrifying.

Dian Wei had someone make a mark, and then he went back and dragged the tiger carcass to join the main force.

"Everyone put your stomachs first, the place has been found, below is the enemy's camp, when it is completely dark, I will go down and kill him!" Dian Wei skillfully peeled off the tiger's skin and threw it to the lieutenant general, While dividing the meat, he said: "Are you afraid that there will be no food?"

Everyone swallowed their saliva one by one as they looked at the tiger that Dian Wei had skillfully divided up. They never expected that they would still be able to eat tiger meat in their lifetime.

No matter how much meat there is from a tiger, there is not much to divide a few hundred people. Even the mountain people who lead the way are divided into one.

One is that they can eat the tiger that Dian Wei personally called, and the other is that they have already reached their destination, and they can attack at any time.

Dian Wei heard from Lu Bu that the best time for a sneak attack is when the sky is about to dawn but before dawn, people are the most sleepy, so he thought that the soldiers should rest until then before attacking, and he let the soldiers go When sleeping, I personally come to watch the night, and when the sky is about to light up, I wake up people one by one.

My lord has said that fighting is to do what you can do to the extreme. Dian Wei has done the best in every link he can remember, and the last step...

In the dark, Dian Wei looked at the gate of the Shu army where not many people were guarding it, pulled out his two halberds, waved his hand, and strode towards the gate. Next, it was what he was best at!

Probably the Shu army did not expect that the other party would appear behind them, so the back camp was not too prepared, and the gate was easily opened. Then, Dian Wei raised his pair of big guns under the stunned eyes of a group of Shu troops. Tie Ji said solemnly: "Kill!"

"kill!"

Hundreds of soldiers lived in the mountains, almost lost their way, and walked for three full days. They had long held their breath, and now they wanted to finish the fight and return to the team as soon as possible. With a roar, they slashed wildly around.

Dian Wei led his men and horses to rush around. Everywhere he went, he set fire first and then killed people. After a while, the rear camp of the Shu army was ablaze, and countless soldiers were roasted awake in their sleep. All of a sudden chaos.

As for the front, Xu Rong, who had been waiting for three days, got the news. Captured, or killed in the rebellious army, when the sky is completely bright, the Qishan camp is completely destroyed.

This was the imperial court's first victory after entering Shu, but it was also the last.

"Are you going to withdraw!?" Dian Wei looked at Jia Xu and Xu Rong in astonishment after returning to the camp and receiving the news.

"That's right, the general is preparing, it's time to go back." Xu Rong nodded.

"Why!?" Dian Wei didn't understand, pointed to the ground and said, "Isn't this laid down?"

"According to the information I got from the captives, we came late, and the Shu army had already prepared for it. There are at least ten dangerous passes along the way westward, but there are trails to go around everywhere, and there are Yangping Pass, Dingguan Junshan Mountain and Tiandang Mountain, even if they can be conquered, they may not be able to conquer them within a year, and they will consume a lot of food and grass, and these are only one place in Hanzhong. If you want to invade the middle of Shu, there will be more dangerous passes and obstacles. , we can only withdraw our troops." Xu Rong sighed.

Lu Bu's request was to make a quick decision. If you can't take the opportunity to take the Shu land quickly, it's better to let it go temporarily and wait for the next opportunity. If you want to attack the Shu land by force, it will be difficult at least from Hanzhong.

"Ah!" Dian Wei sighed fiercely, it was rare for him to fight in person, who knew it would be like this.

At present, the soldiers of the three armies packed up their gear, and the next day they pulled out their camps and retreated, leaving only 800 people stationed here.

The terrain of Qishan is dangerous, and it controls the throat of Shu. Now that it has been captured, this place cannot be left to the Shu army. One is to prevent the Shu army from sneaking in, and the other is that there will be one less dangerous pass when the next time you need to send troops. beat.

After everyone returned to Longguan, they sent people to ask Zhang Ji to withdraw his troops. Xu Rong led the army back to Chang'an. The biggest gain of this attack on Shu may be to bring Qi Shan under his control.

Jia Xu didn’t feel anything. It’s just like fighting a war. It doesn’t always pay off. In her opinion, it’s fine if you don’t pay. But for Dian Wei, this is the first battalion he personally led to defeat. The battle that took a lot of credit has come to an end, and I feel somewhat unhappy.

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Besides, this battle is not considered a defeat. Why do you have to look like this?" Lu Bu looked at Dianwei's appearance, a little amused.

"It's rare to win a battle, but it's terminated, no wonder." Jia Xu smiled and drank tea, it's better at home, then looked at Lu Bu and asked: "Have you got any definite news from the middle of Sichuan, my lord?"

"Well, they sent someone to send me a memorial, hoping that the imperial court will allow Liu Zhang to continue to serve as the shepherd of Yizhou." Lu Bu nodded, turned out a memorandum and handed it to Jia Xu, "What do you think of Wenhe?"

"Since we can't take advantage of the situation to attack the land of Shu, Xu thinks it's good to follow their wishes, and at the same time let the land of Shu open up business with Chang'an." Jia Xu said with a smile: "In this way, my lord can also understand the situation of the land of Shu better. We can try to separate one or two, and then take advantage of the civil strife in Shu to try to hold Hanzhong in our hands."

Hanzhong can be regarded as the gateway to the land of Shu. If you hold Hanzhong in your hands, it will undoubtedly be easier to control the land of Shu. Opening up business with Shu is also paving the way for this second step.

If the Shu army made up their minds not to communicate with the imperial court and block the pass, Lu Bu would be unable to do anything even if he wanted to, so the best way is to appease him if he can’t take the land of Shu now. It sounds aggrieved, but it's best to settle this matter smoothly, otherwise, they will lead the Yizhou pastoralists themselves, and there will be many dangers to guard them. Even if you want to take advantage of them, you will have no choice but to embarrass yourself.

Lu Bu nodded, now he can only take his time!
