"In this case, pass the order down, the whole army will withdraw from Nanzheng immediately."

"Follow me north, from the entrance of Xiegu, and withdraw to Guanzhong."

Relieved Cao Zhen immediately gave the order.

After the order was passed down, all the soldiers of the Wei army in the city felt relieved.

So.

Nearly 20,000 Wei soldiers packed their luggage in a hurry and fled Nanzheng City in disgrace that night.

The 20,000 troops did not dare to stay for a moment, and marched day and night from Xiegu to the north.

At dusk.

Cao Zhen finally arrived at the entrance of Xiegu. There were mountains to the north, but the Hanzhong Plain behind him was getting farther and farther away.

Looking back in the direction of Nanzheng, Cao Zhen clenched his fists, and his face showed reluctance.

Thinking back to the time when he was appointed as the governor of Hanzhong and commanded 40,000 troops, it was so glorious.

Now, less than half a year later, he can only escape sadly.

Escaped in disgrace with the shame of losing the city and the land.

Even if Cao Cao still trusted him, his reputation as Cao Zhen had been trampled under the feet of Guan Yu and Deng Mu.

He was unwilling and angry.

"Deng Mu, Guan Yu!"

"Just wait for me, I, Cao Zhen, will come back sooner or later."

"Sooner or later!"

Cao Zhen gritted his teeth and swore a poisonous oath, then he snorted coldly and turned his horse back.

He whipped the horse whip hard and ran away without looking back.

The nearly 20,000 Wei soldiers were not in such a good mood as him, and they swore a solemn oath before leaving.

At this time, they only wanted to escape from Qinling Mountains as soon as possible and escape from this dangerous place.

Two thousand troops rushed into the valley and soon disappeared between the mountains.

When the Wei army fled north in a panic.

Guan Yu was leading 70,000 troops and marching towards Nanzheng.

It was also dusk.

The outline of Nanzheng City in front was vaguely visible.

"We have arrived at Nanzheng City. Tell the soldiers to prepare for the siege."

"I will flatten Nanzheng City and capture Cao Zhen, the traitor!"

Guan Yu gave the order proudly.

At this moment, in front of him, Nanzheng City was like paper. As long as he kicked it lightly, it would fall apart. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

There is no way, I am so confident.

After Yangping Pass was captured, he estimated that the Wei army had lost its morale and fighting spirit.

An enemy army that had lost its fighting spirit and faith, with only 20,000 people, was naturally vulnerable.

When the order was passed down, the soldiers of the three armies were all excited and eager to fight.

At this time.

Deng Mu sneered:

"General Guan, I'm afraid your hope of pacifying Nanzheng will be dashed."

Guan Yu was stunned and looked back at Deng Mu.

He didn't quite understand the deep meaning of these words.

"How could Cao Cao not understand the principle of losing land and saving people and losing both land and people."

"I guess Cao Cao must have ordered Cao Zhen to abandon Nanzheng and take his precious 20,000 Hanzhong troops back to Guanzhong."

"At this time, Cao Zhen must have abandoned the city and fled north, and Nanzheng City is now an empty city."

"Does General Yunchang need to flatten an empty city?"[]

Deng Mu's words reminded Cao Cao.

"Well, it seems that Cao Zhen, the brat, may indeed abandon Hanzhong and flee."

"However, once Hanzhong is lost, Cao will face our attack from the south."

"Are Cao really willing to abandon Hanzhong?"

Guan Yu still had some doubts.

Just then.

A horse galloped in front, it was Deng Ai.

"Report to the general, report to the prime minister."

"My scouts have sent back the news that Cao Zhen led his army to flee in a hurry last night, and Nanzheng is now an empty city!".
