Cao ang is now fully resisting the attack of the Qin army.
This battle has lasted for more than half a day. Since the arrival of the army of Qin in the morning, the army of Qin kept on attacking. Even at lunch time, they were still attacking. Such an offensive put great pressure on Cao ang.
However, Cao ang also knew that the battle of siege would go on and on and on.
As long as we get through the first day's attack, Zhang Xiu's subsequent attack is certainly not so big. So for Cao ang, even if he tried his best to resist, his heart was full of hope.
Cao ang is full of hatred for Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu killed too many people.
Xia Houdun, Cao Hong, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Cao Cao died directly or indirectly in Zhang Xiu's hands. This series of hatred made Cao ang want to tear Zhang Xiu apart.
"Newspaper!"
At this moment, the sentry rushed to Cao Ang's side.
Sentinel report: "King Wei, Qin, there is a large army left, to the north of Beihai state. For the time being, it's not clear what the other side's intention is. There are soldiers on the front line who have been watching. "
Cao ang immediately frowned.
Zhang Xiu is divided.
This is not good news for Cao ang.
If Zhang Xiu's army had been gathering here and occupied zhuxu County, Cao ang would have no worries. Even if Cao ang blocked Zhang Xiu's army, the state of Wei would be safe.
Cao ang looked at Xun you and said, "Mr. Xun, Zhang Xiu suddenly divided forces. What do you think?"
Xun you said: "Zhang Xiu is now dividing her forces to the north of Beihai state. According to the humble inference, Zhang Xiu's doing so is likely to attack our rear Donglai county. Just imagine, once the army of Zhang Xiu suddenly appeared in Huangxian. With the strength of Huangxian County, can we keep it
"Hiss!"
Cao ang took a cool breath.
He's really worried.
Today, the whole Wei state's troops are gathered in zhuxu County, and the rear Huang County has no troops. What's more, Cao ang had already sent back news that Cao Pi had arranged to leave Huangxian county with Cao's family and some of the families of civil servants and military generals to go to Lelang county. Under such a premise, Huangxian is even more empty.
Cao ang took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Xun, what do you say to do?"
Xun you said: "Your Highness, Zhang Xiu's surprise attack was to make it difficult for us. If we rush for help, even if we don't encounter ambush, it will be unfavorable for us to fight Zhang Xiu's army head on. For Zhang Xiu, he is looking forward to fighting us head-on. But once the troops are divided, our defense here will be in trouble, and it will be quite difficult. "
"This is the cunning of Zhang Xiu."
"He saw the weakness that we were not strong enough to divide our forces."
"I think there are two aspects to consider."
"First, immediately arrange someone to inform Liu Bei, who is lying in ambush on the way to Xuzhou, to ask him not to be stationed on the way to Xuzhou, but to go north as fast as possible to resist Zhang Xiu's strange soldiers."
"Second, we should abandon the garrison of zhuxu County, perhaps withdraw our troops and return directly to Huangxian county. In this way, even the subsidence of Beihai or other counties still has no impact on us. "
Xun you said, "this is the solution you can think of at present."
Cao ang frowned when he heard it.
It's not easy to do.
Either way, he thought, was not a good way. Because it is impossible to succeed simply by relying on Liu Bei to procrastinate. Cao ang was also worried that he entrusted the life and death of the state of Wei to Liu Bei.
As for the retreat to Huangxian, it was a rout.
This is also inappropriate.
So Cao Ang's heart, how to ponder, feel not easy to choose.
Cao Ang's eyes turned and fell on Guo Jia. He asked, "Mr. Guo, what do you think we should do after Zhang Xiu's division to solve the current dilemma?"
Guo Jia said: "Your Highness, now we can only do it according to the advice of Lord Xun. Because for the time being, there is no more suitable way. We are in a weak position and lack of troops. We can only rely on Liu Bei's forces. What's more, there is no natural moat or barrier for Beihai. Zhang Xiu wants to go to the rear of Donglai county. We have no solution. "
"Alas..."
Cao ang frowned and sighed.
He concentrated all his energy on zhuxu County, intending to resist Zhang Xiu's attack. But unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu slightly adjusted his strategy, and he fell into a dilemma, so that zhuxu county's plan completely lost its effect.
For a time, Cao ang was in a difficult choice.
He didn't want to retreat.
However, he had to withdraw. If he did not withdraw, once Zhang Xiu's troops reached Huang County first, he would be cut off from the rear, and he would also be in trouble.
Cao ang looked at the fighting outside the camp with a solemn expression.He still hesitated.
Seeing that Cao ang was hard to make a decision for a while, Xun you knew that it was not a long-term plan to make no decision all the time, so he said, "Your Highness, let's make a decision and let it go. Now, it's not the time to procrastinate. The more procrastination, the worse for Wei. "
Cao ang said, "Mr. Xun, how do you say the king should make a decision?"
Xun you said, "in a word, first arrange someone to inform Liu Bei and make him rush for help. According to my understanding of Liu Bei, even if this kind of thing makes Liu Bei somewhat resistant, as long as it is to give certain benefits, Liu Bei will also agree. His highness just needs to arrange for someone to tell Liu Bei that as long as he can resist Zhang Xiu's attack this time, then Beihai state will be assigned to Liu Bei to govern. Liu Bei will certainly agree to such conditions. "
After a pause, Xun you continued: "as long as you can block Zhang Xiu's attack and give the Beihai state to Liu Bei, why not. Although doing so, once really blocked Zhang Xiu, the consequences are serious. But no matter how serious the consequences are, they are not as serious as Zhang Xiu. "
When Cao ang heard this, he nodded.
It's true.
Cao ang immediately called the sentry who was in charge of the message. He immediately ordered the sentry to leave the rear camp as soon as possible, and then went to the ambush place of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.
After all this, Cao ang continued to arrange soldiers to resist.
When the sun sets, it's getting late.
At this time, Zhang Xiu beat the drum and ordered to stop the attack. One day's fighting is a heavy burden for Zhang Xiu, so she needs to rest for a while and fight again after daybreak. Cao Ang's sentry is going all the way south. At the fastest speed, he arrives at Liu Bei's garrison in the early morning.
When the sentry saw Liu Bei, he didn't say much. He took out Cao Ang's letter and handed it to Liu Bei. He said, "the king of Wei asked the Duke of Chu to go north as soon as possible. I hope that the Duke of Chu can lead the troops to intercept Zhang Xiu's troops and ensure the safety of Donglai county."
Liu Bei did not arrange for Zhuge Liang to come to discuss the matter. After all, it was late at night and Zhuge Liang was resting. So he said directly, "go back and tell the king of Wei that our officer will lead his troops north."
"Here it is
The sentry answered, turned and left.
Liu Bei read the letter again, and every time he focused on Beihai. If Zhang Xiu's army is blocked, Cao ang will let him govern Beihai.
This is what Liu Bei expected.
