so force them to abandon the bridge in order to protect the city。 When the bridge is clear； you can make a dash for Saber Pass and plan for a recapture of Hanzhong。〃
This plan seemed to promise success； so Jiang Wei ordered them to march into the Konghan Valley； making as though they would go to Yongzhou。
When Zhuge Xu； who was at the Yinping Bridge； heard this； he said in great shock； 〃Yongzhou is my own city； and headquarters of the expedition。 If it would be lost； I would be punished！〃
So Zhuge Xu set off to its relief by the south road。 He left only a small force at the bridge。
Jiang Wei marched along the north road for ten miles till he guessed that Zhuge Xu had abandoned the bridge； when he reversed his course； making the rearguard the van。 He dispersed the small force left at the bridge head and burned their camp。 Zhuge Xu； as he marched； saw the flames； and he turned back to the bridge； but he arrived too late。 The army of Shu had already crossed； and he dared not pursue。
Soon after Jiang Wei crossed the bridge； he saw another force； but this was led by his own generals； Liao Hua and Zhang Yi。
They told him； 〃The Latter Ruler； firm in his faith in a wise woman； would not send help to defend the frontiers。 We heard Hanzhong was threatened； and thus marched there to its rescue； but then Zhong Hui had taken the Yangping Pass。 We also heard you were surrounded here； so we came to your help。〃
The two armies amalgamated and marched together。
Liao Hua said； 〃We are attacked all round； and the grain transportation is blocked。 It seems to me wisest to retire on the Saber Pass and plan other designs。〃
But Jiang Wei was doubtful。 Then they heard that Deng Ai and Zhong Hui were approaching in ten divisions。
