Soldiers come to the world

Zhang He said with lingering fear: "There are all kinds of unfavorable news spreading in the army. Some say that the main force of the Han army has crossed the Chencang Road secretly, entered Guanzhong, and captured Chang'an. There are also reports that the Diren cavalry and Liu Jing's main force attacked us back and forth. The main force, our main force was defeated, the prime minister...unfortunately was seriously injured and died in battle, the morale of the army was shaken, and nearly a thousand people have fled."

Xu Huang only felt a headache. The army he led was originally a mob of rebels in Hebei. It was only two months after it was recruited and trained to fight in Guanzhong. The military discipline was chaotic and loose. Another setback and low morale, how could it be possible for them to be as stable as the elite Cao Jun?

"Where did the rumor come from?" Xu Huang asked again.

"I have ordered to trace the source of the rumors, but the time is too short, I'm afraid I can't find out for a while."

Xu Huang sighed, "I'm afraid Jun Yi didn't know that General Xiahou was ambushed on the way to the north for reinforcements, and almost the entire army was wiped out. Unfortunately, General Xiahou was also killed!"

"what!"

Zhang Yun was stunned for a moment, but Xia Houyuan was killed in battle. Could there be such a serious battle?After a while, he asked anxiously, "What should we do now?"

"I do not know either!"

Xu Huang pondered for a moment and then said: "I am afraid of being attacked from the front and back now. These soldiers are so unbearable. Once the morale of the army collapses and there is a large-scale escape, the consequences will be serious." [

Zhang He knew that Xu Huang's worry was not superfluous, but something very likely to happen. He thought for a while and said, "It's better to withdraw the troops to the east road first, to rectify the morale of the army, and if the situation improves, then attack the Han army camp. It's not too late."

Xu Huang nodded slowly, "I think so too!"

Xu Huang immediately issued an order: "Order the whole army to withdraw to the east road, and those who dare to flee will be killed immediately!"

The so-called Dongdaokou is the intersection of the official road leading to Shangyu County from the east of Xicheng. It is an open land. Xu Huang set up a logistics camp there, about ten miles away from the battlefield. The logistics camp was evacuated.

. . . . . . . . .

When Xun You's strategic strategy suffered serious setbacks, his strategy of seducing soldiers in a series of double strategies also encountered difficulties. This is also normal. Xun You's opponent is also a very powerful strategist.

Liu Jing didn't fully follow Xun You's temptation to go northward with all his strength. He didn't quite trust the Di people, especially Ma Chao was once overthrown by the leader of the Di people. This made Liu Jing feel a little vigilant, and he knew that His own weakness is the lack of food and grass. If the troops are too close to the north, if any accident occurs and the food in the army is cut off, his army will collapse across the board.

So Liu Jing led the army northward, but the marching speed was very slow. He was waiting until the Di people attacked Cao Jun first, and then he launched an offensive. No matter how nice the Di people said, if there is no actual action, everything will be for nothing. talk.

A day had passed, and in the morning of the next day, Liu Jing's tens of thousands of troops were still stationed about twenty miles away from Cao Jun's army.

This is a slightly safe military distance. If you go any further, the battle situation will get out of control. At this time, Liu Jing is waiting for the food supply from the south, and at the same time waiting for the news that the Di people are attacking Cao Jun.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a day, there was no food and grass from the south, and there was no movement from the Di people's cavalry, which made Liu Jing suspicious.

Inside the big tent, Liu Jing said to Fazheng worriedly: "I feel that something is wrong here. If the Di people's cavalry really wanted to flank Cao Jun from the north, they should have launched the attack when Cao Jun withdrew. Now there is no movement from Cao Jun's side. Moreover, since Cao Jun is afraid of Jicheng, he should hurry back to Jicheng, but now they are stationed without moving, isn't it strange?"

Fazheng also realized many things that were irrational. For example, Cao Jun obviously withdrew his troops hastily, and they didn't even clean up their tents, so they just threw them away. So where did their tents come from now?If it was the tent sent by Jicheng, why didn't the team sending supplies be attacked by the Di people?

So many unreasonable things made Fazheng also feel that something was wrong, he pondered for a long time and said: "I doubt if this is Cao Cao's trick to lure soldiers, in fact, there are no Di people cavalry at all, it is Cao Cao's cavalry." Suspicious soldiers deployed by myself."

"It should be true that the Di people's cavalry attacked Jicheng. That Ge Yuan was indeed the younger brother of the Di people's leader Wan Wan, but I suspect that this Di person was a chess piece laid by Cao Cao. ’There is an excuse to retreat north, which lures us into the bait.” [

Liu Jing walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said again: "Now I am very worried about the south. If something happens to the camp in the west city and the food stores are destroyed, I'm afraid we will be in danger of even withdrawing our troops. No! We can't take this risk anymore, we must withdraw immediately .”

As soon as the words fell, a soldier reported at the door of the tent: "Report to Zhou Mu, General Zhao sent someone to send urgent information!"

Liu Jing was taken aback, and turned around slowly, with an ominous premonition in his heart, he nodded, "Let the messenger in!"

After a while, the courier was brought in. He knelt down on one knee and presented a letter, "I will report to the state pastor that something is wrong!"

Liu Jing received Zhao Yun's report, quickly opened it to check, and his heart sank suddenly. About [-] to [-] Cao troops came from the direction of Shangyu, and the soldiers crushed the Xicheng barracks.

"What's going on?" Fazheng stepped forward and asked nervously.

Liu Jing sighed slightly, and handed the letter to him, "Military Master, read it for yourself!"

Fazheng took the letter in a hurry, read it quickly, and was stunned. Fifty thousand Cao troops came from the east road, and the camp in the west city was in danger. Set off?"

"Reporting to the military division, I set off at around [-]:[-] pm last night."

Fazheng silently counted the time, and at exactly six o'clock, he said to Liu Jing again: "Zhou Mu, we have indeed been tricked, and the only way now is to rush back to West City as quickly as possible, maybe there is still a chance."

Liu Jing walked back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back, and then ordered: "Go and find Wei Yan!"

After a while, Wei Yan rushed over, bowed and saluted, "See Zhou Mu."

Liu Jing glanced at him, and said slowly: "I will lead the main force to return to the west city immediately, and I will leave five thousand soldiers for you. If Cao Jun pursues, you will stand up for me. It is up to you whether you win or lose in this battle. I will make you a general!"

Wei Yan was overwhelmed with excitement, knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists and said, "Wei Yan is dead!"

Liu Jing nodded, and then ordered: "Pass my order, the whole army must be assembled, all tents and military supplies must be discarded, and immediately retreat south!"...

In Cao Jun's camp, nearly [-] soldiers did not rest, but were fully armed and ready to fight at any time. Cao Cao knew very well that the decisive moment of the battle would happen tonight.

It should have been last night when Xu Huang led an army of [-] and the Xicheng army to attack the Han army camp outside the Xicheng. Although we don't know the situation of the battle for the time being, if there is any news, it should be about this time.

Cao Cao stood on the sentry tower in front of the barracks, squinting his eyes and looking at the south. The guards next to him knew that the prime minister was not looking at the Han army barracks. It was twenty miles away, so he couldn't see it here. The prime minister was actually waiting for the scouts. information.

"Gongda, do you think Liu Jing will fall into a trap in the end?"

Cao Cao could not hide his worry, and his worry was justified, that is, Liu Jing did not attack him as originally planned, which shows that Liu Jing is probably already suspicious of the Diren cavalry.

Standing behind Cao Cao, Xun You has been silent all the time. In fact, he has already realized that there is a problem with his chain plan, and he is very clear about the problem. He has not dealt with a subtle link, that is, The Di people's cavalry should be allowed to withdraw, but they should be allowed to pretend to attack Cao Jun, so that Liu Jing will be duped.

In fact, Xun You also raised this issue at the beginning, but Cao Cao didn't believe in the Di cavalry. A ring feint was canceled.

Although there is no last link, it is not a big problem. If Liu Jing refuses to attack the Cao army, it is the same for Cao army to attack the Han army in turn. However, Xun You did not expect that Liu Jing was so smart that he always kept a distance of twenty miles , it was the distance of twenty miles that made it possible for Liu Jing to decouple.

Xun You was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Now I can only guarantee that Liu Jing will withdraw to Hanzhong. As for whether he will fall into the trap, it is really hard to say. After all, the longer the delay, he will find something strange."

As soon as Xun You finished speaking, he saw a few scout cavalry rushing towards him. Cao Cao was refreshed. This was the spy he was waiting for. "How is the situation?" Cao Cao asked loudly on the sentry tower.

The cavalry rushed to the front, reined in their horses, and reported loudly: "I want to report to the Prime Minister, Liu Jing has already withdrawn his troops, it is very hasty!"

Cao Cao was taken aback. He immediately realized that it was Liu Jing who had seen through his trap and was about to escape. He immediately ordered: "Pass my order, and the whole army pursues!"

The drums in Cao's camp suddenly rang loudly, the gate of the camp was opened wide, and a group of soldiers who had already lined up rushed out of the camp. Tens of thousands of Cao's troops rushed south like a sea tide. The soldiers were urged by the officers , Constantly speeding up, chasing the Han army retreating south.

This section is a flat road, which is conducive to marching. Half an hour later, Cao Jun approached the camp abandoned by the Han Army. Cao's face was ashen, he drew out his sword and shouted: "Quicken up the chase, and whoever wins Liu Jing's head will be rewarded with [-] million yuan, and ten thousand households will be sealed!"

Stimulated by this unprecedented reward, Cao Jun's potential exploded. Regardless of their fatigue, they ran southward to catch up. One day, a Han army ambushed in the mountain col came out, and the leading general was Wei Yan.

Wei Yan got Liu Jing's promise, he had already held his breath, and he shouted, "Don't be rampant Cao thief, Wei Yan is here!"

He swung his saber, urged his horse to gallop, and went straight to Cao Cao under the purple umbrella. Five thousand soldiers behind him rushed forward with shouts, cutting off the way of Cao Jun.
