Chapter 505
Xue Rengui's army guarded Tongguan, and Guo Huai, Xu Rong and others' army also guarded any pass that could overcome the Yellow River. The guard of Tianshui was originally Lu Yi. Han Wu worried that he would not be able to guard Tianshui County, so Xingye sent Huang Zhong to Tianshui City to assist Defend.

Now the law and order in Xiabian City is being rectified. The previous assault on Xiabian City caused panic among the people, many casualties, and the army of Jin State was very unpopular.However, [-]% of the Qin defenders in Xiabian City chose to surrender, and now Han Wu has nearly [-] infantry and [-] cavalry under his command.

"Without Fengxiao, it is Jin's loss. But the overall situation of this battle has come to an end. Even if Cao Cao wants to fight to the death, it will not prevent the end of Qin's elite being wiped out. Conquer Yangping, go all the way south and invade Yizhou from Zitong. It was won within a month. But Qin still has Sima Yi, who is a wolf and a great talent. I dare not use it, Cao Cao dares to use it. But even he can't stop the Jin army Roll the wheel!" Han Wu thumped the table suddenly, this time he made up his mind to wipe out Cao Cao in the Yongliang area.

In Tongguan, Xue Rengui got the news from His Highness that Xiabian City had been captured.The conquest of Xiabian City is a fatal wound to Qin State, and Jin State can spread salt on this wound crazily!

"Come here, send me an order to gather all recruits from the Sili area and let them guard Tongguan. Order 5000 troops and follow me to attack Cao Cao's army! Also, let all the people in charge of paperwork start writing letters, just write 'Xiabian City has been occupied by the Jin State, and there is no way for the Qin State's army to retreat'." Xue Rengui narrowed his eyes, picked up Fang Tianji, and prepared to send troops.

That afternoon, Xue Rengui's cavalry archers raided the camp of Qin's army and shot all the letters into the Qin camp.

"Let the arrows fly for a while, let's withdraw our troops! In a few days, we will officially attack the Qin army." Seeing that his first strategy had succeeded, Xue Rengui led the cavalry to retreat without stopping.

In the camp of the Qin State, the soldiers who were still victorious after seeing the arrows falling from the sky were ready to fight out of the camp in high spirits.But after the first soldier saw the letter on the arrow and read it, the whole camp exploded.

"How is it possible? The State of Jin has unexpectedly attacked Xiabian City, so isn't it the same as being sucked into the Yongliang area by our pants?"

"That's right! I thought we won the battle, so how could we lose Xiabian City? Without Xiabian City, we only have half a month's food and grass, how can we fight this battle!"

"No wonder, no wonder the Kingdom of Jin wants to attack Tianshui City first. Tianshui City is the bridgehead of Xiabian City! In addition, once an ambush is set up in Xiegu, it will be easy to defend and difficult to attack. Xiabian City is as solid as gold. Our food and grass are cut off. There is not much food and grass in the land, what can we do! Could it be that we are going to attack Tongguan hungry?"

"That's right! If you can beat Tongguan, it's okay, but if you can't, you'll starve to death!"

In the barracks, the soldiers of the Qin State immediately boiled over, none of them wanted to starve to death in the Yongliang area.But the situation is really bad now, even these ordinary soldiers can understand that they are already caged ligers.

"All the soldiers go back to their respective camps. Your Majesty summons all the counselors and generals to discuss matters!" Cheng Yu shouted at the top of his voice. It was obvious that Cao Cao knew about this matter, so he had to start discussing how to deal with Han Wu.

In less than a cup of tea, all the soldiers and counselors gathered in the camp, but only one Jia Xu was missing.

Cao Cao looked around three times but couldn't find Jia Xu, so he said angrily, "Where did Jia Wenhe go! Jia Wenhe disappeared at this critical juncture, you are all just for nothing?"

All the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay. They were still immersed in the joy of winning the battle, and no one noticed that Jia Xu had left secretly.

Jia Xu's departure can only explain two possibilities. The first is that he is also a gap between the Jin State and has been lurking inside the Qin State for many years.The second possibility is that Jia Xu had long been aware of the movement of Jin's army, so he fled ahead of time to protect himself wisely.

Regardless of which of these two possibilities, the soldiers knew that Jia Xu must be the key. If others found out that he had this move early, they would definitely be able to prevent the Jin army from attacking Xiabian City.

Cao Cao snorted coldly, he knew that now is not the time to reprimand the soldiers, because the next crisis must be faced with loyal soldiers.

"The 12 elites of the Qin State recruited troops after defeating Anding City, and now [-] troops are trapped in the Yongliang area. This is the fault of Gu, who underestimated the enemy. Han Pengju is really ruthless and decisive. This time It's really scary." Cao Cao gradually calmed down, he thought he still had a way to leave the Yongliang area, at least he had a large army, counselors and generals by his side.

Both Xi Zhicai and Li Ru looked at each other, they understood each other's strategy because they had the same thoughts.

"Your Majesty, the ministers thought that this time it was a desperate move! Our army still has 12 days of food and grass, and [-] troops, which is enough. Next, our army rushed out of the inclined valley regardless of casualties, and went straight to Xiabian City! Take Biancheng with a large army, and the other army rushes to Yangping Pass in the starry night. The king can go to Yangping first and escape the danger. Zitong is guarded by General Cao Zhen. If the Jin army raids Yangping Pass, General Cao Zhen will definitely be able to defend Yangping " Xi Zhicai is also hard-hearted, and the strategy he recommends is very simple, which is to draw salary from the bottom.

Since the Jin army was going to trap him to death, Xi Zhicai unified his troops to break through at one point, and forcibly opened a breakthrough with sharp soldiers.

"Break out in the inclined valley? There must be a large number of ambushes in the inclined valley, and the army will suffer heavy losses if they break through!" Cao Cao hesitated. Although Xi Zhicai's proposal was rough and simple, the casualties would be astronomical.

Li Ru also nodded quickly, and said in support: "Mr. Cao, since the Jin Kingdom has suffered a lot of casualties and wants to conquer Bian City, Mr. Cao should do the same. Mr. Cao thought that if he rushed out of Xiegu, he would encounter an ambush and suffer heavy losses. Wu Biran also thinks so. What is false is real, and what is real is false. Breaking through Xiegu is the easiest, and the loss is just one aspect. Those who want to achieve great things don't care about small details!"

After Cao Cao listened to Jia Xu's words, he agreed with the proposal.Breaking out of the inclined valley will of course encounter an ambush by the enemy, and the loss of troops will be heavy, but it is indeed the easiest way to break out.Moreover, if you break through from the Xiegu, you can directly reach Xiabian City. Even if it is impenetrable there, Cao Cao thinks that you can directly bypass Xiabian City and go south.

As long as Cao Zhen can send troops to defend Yangping in time, Cao Cao will be absolutely sure to escape!Then defend Yangping to the death, so that Jin cannot attack Yizhou.
