Chapter 619

"Hey, Heaven is dead to me, Great Wei..."

Looking at the densely packed enemy army outside the city, Zhong Yao on the tower raised his head and sighed, Yu Jin's army was completely wiped out, the northern shield was gone, and no one could stop Zhao Yun's army.

Not long ago, he also received the news that Cao Cao was defeated and retreated to Luoyang. At the same time, he also received an order to withdraw troops from Luoyang and gather troops, but it was too late. Zhao Yun's army came too fast, and Yu Jin had not received the news yet. He was destroyed, and he was trapped in Chang'an City before he could withdraw.

At this time, there were only more than 1 soldiers and horses in Chang'an City. In addition, there were mountains of grain and grass.

"Burn it or not?"

This question has been swirling in Zhong Yao's head. If you keep it, it will definitely fall into Zhao Yun's hands. But it is a pity if it is burned. This is the harvest of countless people for several years. If it is burned, I don't know how many people will starve to death. .

"My lord, the enemy army has envoys coming."

Just when Zhong Yao was wondering whether or not to burn countless grain and grass, Tian Feng came alone, and he came to Zhong Yao not long after.

"If Mr. Yuan Hao is a lobbyist, there is no need to speak. Your Majesty has a lot of trust in me, and I will be a villain again and again. Let's fight."

Zhong Yao didn't give Tian Feng a chance to persuade him to surrender. He had decided to die and used his life to repay Cao Cao's kindness. At the same time, he restrained Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses to delay Cao Cao's time.

"Hahaha." Tian Feng laughed nonchalantly and said, "Mr. Yuan Chang misunderstood, I'm not here to persuade you to surrender."

Zhong Yao was taken aback when he heard this, and asked puzzledly: "Mr. Yuan Hao came here alone, could it be possible to talk to me about the general situation of the world?"

Facing Zhong Yao's sarcasm, Tian Feng still smiled and said: "I came here alone for the thousand-year-old ancient capital. I don't want this ancient capital to follow in the footsteps of Luoyang, and you and I will become eternal sinners."

"Humph!"

Of course Zhong Yao knew what Tian Feng meant, and he also knew about the situation in Tongguan. Although he didn't know what kind of weapon it was, Yu Jin had to give up Tongguan. As Tian Feng said, the thousand-year-old capital will be burned.

"Mr. Yuanchang, in order to preserve this city, General Zhao ordered that Mr. Yuanchang leave safely." Tian Feng's words shocked Zhong Yao and let him go. Zhao Yun actually wanted to let him go like this. There is a conspiracy to lure him out and then ambush him.

"Mr. Yuan Chang is at ease." Seemingly seeing Zhong Yao's worry, Tian Feng continued: "I will promise the general that he will keep his word, sir, as long as he leaves alone, the thousand-year-old city will not be lost."

"What!" Zhong Yao finally understood Tian Feng's intentions. He wanted to take down the city without spending a single soldier. It was just an excuse to preserve the thousand-year-old capital, and he said coldly: "You have a good idea. Needless to say, just a fight."

"Why is Mr. Yuan Chang so stubborn." Tian Feng shook his head lightly and said: "The unification of the world is unstoppable, why should a momentary atmosphere destroy the thousand-year-old city and become an eternal sinner."

"Let's talk again." Tian Feng continued: "I heard that King Wei is seriously ill, why don't you come back soon, sir."

After hearing Tian Feng's words, Zhong Yao's eyes were in a trance, and he kept thinking about the power of it.

After a while, Zhong Yao said: "You wait for the army to retreat for twenty miles, and I will take the soldiers and horses in the city to leave together."

This is also Cao Cao's order. Bringing soldiers and horses back can also help Cao Cao. What's the use of letting him leave alone.

"Five thousand!" Tian Feng said firmly: "Sir, you can leave with five thousand soldiers and horses, and you can't take the grain and grass in the city with you. This is the property of the people of the Han Dynasty, and it should be returned to the people."

Tian Feng finally revealed his purpose, why leaving alone was just a counter-offer for Zhong Yao, what Tian Feng cared about was the mountains of grain and grass in the city, that was the only thing he needed, as for Zhong Yao and those Cao soldiers, they would go back as soon as they went back Well, when Liu Bei's army of millions surrounds Luoyang, they will know what the general trend is.

"Okay." Zhong Yao also knew Tian Feng's purpose, but as long as he could lead his troops back, it's not impossible.

"There are more." Tian Feng said suddenly: "There are still [-] Cao troops in Xianyang City, please trouble Mr. Yuan Chang to order them to surrender, so as not to lose their lives."

"Humph."

For Tian Feng's progress, Zhong Yao had no choice but to defeat Yu Jin's [-] troops, and Chang'an also fell into Zhao Yun's hands. Xianyang was already isolated and could not resist the powerful Zhao Yun army.

In this way, Zhong Yao left Chang'an with [-] elite troops, and ordered the rest of the defenders to open the city and surrender after he left.

The Xianyang garrison also received Zhong Yao's order, but instead of letting them surrender, they came to meet him quickly and returned to Luoyang together.

It's a pity that the [-] Xianyang defenders were ambushed by Zhang Xiu who had been waiting for a long time as soon as they arrived halfway. The whole army was wiped out, and Xianyang also fell into Zhao Yun's hands.

And another battlefield farther away, that is, another gate guarded by Xia Houyuan, Kuiguan!

Although Kui Pass is not as good as Tong Pass and Hangu Pass, it is also a rare dangerous pass in the world, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Xia Houyuan relied on the [-] soldiers in his hands to keep Huang Zhong's army out of the pass for half a year. , we can see its danger.

At this time, Kuiguan had not been attacked by the terrifying thunderbolt chariot, and it was intact, but Xia Houyuan's face was ashen, and there was silence in the hall. There was no other reason. The enemy army set out from Lujin Pass.

What makes everyone so depressed is not that Jiangdong is over, but Cao Cao's military order, telling them to abandon Kuiguan and return to Luoyang, because Cao Cao was defeated at Guandu and suffered heavy losses. rescue.

Moreover, the news that Cao Cao was seriously ill made everyone worried.

"General, if Kui Pass is abandoned, Jingzhou, Nanyang and other places cannot be defended." Dong Zhao, the military adviser, had to tell Xia Houyuan the consequences of their withdrawal. There was no dangerous pass, and it would be difficult for them to stop Huang Zhong's army.

"So what!" Before Xia Houyuan could speak, Cao Zhen said loudly: "I can only obey the emperor's order. Now that Liu Bei's army is approaching Luoyang, I will return immediately."

"That's right." Xia Houyuan said in a deep voice: "Returning to the army is inevitable, but how to avoid Huang Zhong's pursuit, military adviser, do you have a clever plan?"

Xia Houyuan had already decided to withdraw his troops. Compared with Jingzhou and Nanyang, Cao Cao's life was more important, and Cao Cao's military order had been issued, so he had to obey the order.

"Some soldiers and horses need to stay behind." Blocking Huang Zhong is actually very simple. With Kui Pass in hand, a small number of soldiers and horses can block Huang Zhong for a while, enough for Xia Houyuan to lead the army to retreat safely. However, the soldiers and horses left behind can have dire consequences. One can imagine.
