When they saw Wei Yan coming back in shame, Liu Bei and others were immediately excited and rushed out to greet him.

Liu Bei held Wei Yan's hand tightly, and tears flashed from his bright eyes. He kept sighing and said, "It's a long time for the article, it's good to come back, it's good to come back."

Wei Yan was shaken by Liu Bei, and he felt very uncomfortable. To put it simply, he was angry with Liu Bei.

At the beginning, he was seriously injured, but Liu Bei sent him to fight for Zhang Fei's danger. Now, it's better. Zhang Fei did run out as a commander but he fell into Yuan Shang's hands!

When Zhang Fei was trapped in Gushan, Liu Bei wanted to save him as if he was trying to save him. Why is it now his turn to fall, but Liu Bei sent a soldier and a few tears to touch him and say a few words of comforting him, and it would be a matter of trouble? This treatment is a bit too different!

Wei Yan felt angry, but he didn't show it, and most people couldn't see it. The generals surrounded him and walked him up and down. After carefully looking at him, Zhang Fei asked in a naive voice: "Wen Chang, why are you back? Did Yuan Shang put you back? We were just thinking about how to defeat Yuan Jun and save you!"

Wei Yan snorted coldly in his heart and said it was nice!

"I don't know why Yuan Shang let me come back. Maybe it's because I'm insignificant." Wei Yan felt unhappy, but his words were plain and simple, and his anger was so full of anxiety in his heart.

If you say that the last time you were captured was because you underestimated Pang De and deserved to be humiliated. Then this time, it was purely Liu Bei's selfishness and Zhang Fei's command mistakes. In the end, you still remained unmoved and would only use good words to fill people, which made you embarrassed.

Zhang Fei did not feel Wei Yan's dissatisfaction, but he was still very uncomfortable about the fact that he escaped and Wei Yan was trapped. He strode forward and supported Wei Yan. He said to him: "It's good to come back, go! Let's have a drink in the tent and let you be shocked by Brother Wei."

Wei Yan did not refute, and let Zhang Fei pull him and walked into the coach's tent.

************************

After Wei Yan was released, Yuan Shang's army and horses began to retreat in full swing, withdrawing the defense line back to the Yangping Pass. He set up camps here to set up defenses and set up a final confrontation with Liu Bei.

Of course, if Yangping Pass is lost, Hanzhong will have no room for staying behind and should retreat as soon as possible.

Zhao Yun's troops had already withdrawn from the Yangping Pass front and met with Yuan Shang to arrange troops together, waiting for Liu Bei's attack.

After the camp was set up and the camp was arranged, Yuan Shang, accompanied by Zhao Yun, went to a camp, which was Xiahou Yuan's camp.

My father-in-law was injured. If he didn't come and take a look, he couldn't say anything.

Xiahou Yuan's injuries have not healed yet. He was lying on the bed to rest when suddenly the curtain was lifted up, but Yuan Shang walked in with great strides.

Xiahou Yuan opened his mouth and was about to speak, but he saw Yuan Shang raise his hand, blocking his words, and speaking first.

"I have a question for you. Five children divide a watermelon and only prepare to cut three knives. How can I ensure that within three knives, so that every child has a watermelon in his hand?"

Xiahou Yuan was stunned when he heard this, lowered his head and thought carefully, and said, "It should...can't be cut out, right?"

Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "Simple! Kill a child with one knife, and then use two knifes to cut the watermelon into four petals!"

Xiahou Yuan was stunned, opened his mouth and dull for a while, before he said, "That child died so unjustly!"

Yuan Shang glared at his eyes, grabbed Xiahou Yuan's clothes, and said angrily: "You know the wrong of the child's death? I think you are even stupider than him! When the child dies, at least his companions eat watermelon and think of him. What's the point of your death? Do you think you are so dead, and if you know Cao Cao in the spring, you will think of you? Cao Zhi will think of you loyalty and righteousness in Yecheng? Your niece Xiahou Juan will be proud of you? Is your granddaughter grows up and ask me how his grandfather died, what do you ask me to answer? Do you mean that I was inappropriate in command, or did I have a narrow heart and forced her grandfather to death in Dingjun Mountain!"

Xiahou Yuan opened his eyes wide and stared at Yuan Shang quietly for a while. Then he suddenly raised his hand, knocked Yuan Shang away and said angrily: "I'm not so decadent that I need you to teach me a lesson!"

"I hope this is the best!" Yuan Shang didn't care, so he clapped his hands and said, "Tell you, if you have the ambition to seek death next time, I will give up Xiahou Juan when I go home! Do you believe it?"

"You dare!" Xiahou Yuan was immediately angry, stood up irritably, and said, "You dare to stop me, Juan'er, I will destroy your life with one knife!"

"Then don't die, just watch me!" Yuan Shang faced with tit, neither humble nor arrogant.

After quiet silence for a long time, Xiahou Yuan suddenly sighed, shook his head and sat down, and smiled bitterly: "I can't tell, you have a bit of affection for me. In order to cut off my will, you can even say such things as divorced..."

"Save it, don't be narcissistic. I haven't liked you to the point where you can throw away your wife." Yuan Shang shook his head and said helplessly: "Everyone can die, but at this point, I think your death is really worth it. If you really die, you'd better die a little."

Xiahou Yuan raised his head after hearing this, looked at Yuan Shang, and said, "Now your troops have all been huddled to Yangping Pass. Liu Bei's main force of Sichuan Army is coming soon. You have used several tricks against Sichuan Army, but in the end you can't change the general trend. Now that Liu Bei is in a state of power, how do you plan to deal with it?"

Yuan Shang glanced at Xiahou Yuan with a squinted look and said, "I have used the deception, ambush, fire plan... I have basically used all the things I can use. The next battle is head-on, and there is no strategy to implement. What I have to fight is the quality of the two armies."

Xiahou Yuan hesitated when he heard this: "If you fight head-on, you are afraid of Hanzhong's current military strength..."

"Then do you have a better way?"

"I……"

"Shut up if you don't."

Xiahou Yuan: “…………”

After saying a few words to Xiahou Yuan, Yuan Shang hurriedly turned back to the tent and started a military meeting.

At this time, Zhao Yun, Sima Yi, Pang De, Gan Ning, Xu Huang, Ma Dai, Du Xi and others were inside. After seeing Yuan Shang coming in, they hurriedly greeted him.

Zhao Yun took the lead in meeting Yuan Shang and whispered: "Lord, the scout came to report that Liu Bei's army divided into three groups and headed straight to Yangping Pass. The Sichuan army was full of momentum and had the momentum to drive us out of Hanzhong. This battle is probably not easy."

Yuan Shang rubbed his nose, looked around, and said, "Liu Bei brought a large army to attack Yangping. This is our last line of defense in Hanzhong. You have been discussing it for a while, and I wonder if there is any good plan?"

Sima Yi came forward and said, "Just now, all the generals have offered suggestions, but none of them are ideal and cannot be of great use."

Yuan Shang sat down at the coach after hearing this and said, "Let me tell me."

Sima Yi said: "Governor Zhao offered his advice and used another fire attack like he did when dealing with Zhang Fei."

Yuan Shang thought about it after hearing this, shook his head and said, "This season, there is a lot of rain in Yangping. Using fire tactics is not the best strategy. What should I do if it is extinguished? Are there any other strategies?"

Gan Ning strode forward and said, "Lord, I think it's best to take Liu Bei's troops to attack quickly and set up an ambush halfway!"

Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "Although it is rugged from Hanzhong to Yangping, there are still several roads. It is difficult for us to judge the enemy's route. What should we do if the enemy does not follow our ambush route?"

Pang De stood up and said, "What if he uses a trick of surrendering? He will be willing to surrendering."

Yuan Shang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "You are all my confidants. I am afraid that Liu Bei will not believe it. Even if he believes it, there are experts such as Pang Tongfazheng around him, and it is easy to see the flaws. This method cannot be used."

“…………”

Seeing that many opinions were refuted by Yuan Shang, Sima Yi stood up and said, "Lord, the scout from the north just came to pass the message, saying that Jia Xu captured the emperor alive in the battle of Luoyang and defeated his army. The three auxiliary officers were all pacified. At this moment, the Guanzhong army was coming to Hanzhong. I believe he would arrive soon..."

Before he could finish his words, Yuan Shang suddenly stood up, looked at him calmly and said, "You are serious about this!"

"This matter was reported by General Hao Zhao's confidant, and Governor Zhao recognized it, and it was absolutely true! It was true!"

Yuan Shang was stunned for a while, then smiled at the sky and said, "If the Guanzhong army arrives, our army's strength and strength will not be inferior to Liu Bei. You can attack directly at that time, and use a bullshit strategy... Yes, our army is strong, just attack directly. Which idiot suggested using a strategy? It's so stupid!"

Sima Yi nodded and said, "But before the troops arrive to support us, we and Liu Bei still have a tough battle to fight!"

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "The general comes to block the water and the soil, I will face Liu Bei well!"

A few days later, Liu Bei's army arrived at Yangping, and what was waiting for here was Yuan Shang's comprehensive formation of all the Hanzhong troops and horses.

The two armies were surrounded by mountains and rivers, each holding their own interests. Countless bows and arrows were adjusting their heads to look at each other. The shouts of killing in the sky resounded throughout the mountains and fields, and the murderous aura soared into the sky soared into the sky, with a majestic momentum that made the wind and clouds change color, and the earth trembled.

Yuan Shanghong robeed and silver armor, rode out under the protection of his shield, and threw the sword from afar, shouting loudly: "Where is Liu Bei? Come out and answer me!"

In the Shu army formation, Liu Bei also came to the front and looked at the familiar young figure in the distance, and there was a bit of solemn silence in his eyes without realizing it.

"Haha, Mr. Yuan, it's been a long time since I was gone!"

Yuan Shang looked at Liu Bei a few times and smiled faintly: "Duke Xuande, it's been a long time since I saw you. I didn't expect that the county magistrate who was in Runan and planned how to fight against Cao's army with me has now transformed into a warlord who dominated the southwest. The change of the incident is really amazing. Now Duke Xuande swallowed Liu Biao, and based on Jingxiang, he was still not enough to expel Liu Zhang from Xichuan. He came to plot against Hanzhong and led so many soldiers to show off his power in front of me. Duke Xuande, I was in Runan, but I didn't see that you were so kind."
