Zhuxu County, military camp of Qin state.
Now Zhang Xiu's army is no longer under attack. Originally, Zhang Xiu's plan was to destroy Cao Ang's camp in one go, but Cao ang was so strict that it was hard to break the defense. Therefore, after Zhang Xiu's continuous attacks, she finally stopped and the army temporarily rested.
After all, there is Zhao Yun's army.
This day, near noon.
In Zhang Xiu's barracks, the soldiers have already begun to eat. Outside the barracks, Zhao Yun's sentry troopers rush to the camp. When they see Zhang Xiu, they hand in Zhao Yun's war report.
Zhang Xiu took out the letter, looked at ten lines at a glance, and quickly browsed down. When he finished reading the letter, he couldn't help laughing. He immediately ordered people to call Huang Zhong, saying that Zhao Yun won, Zhuge Liang committed suicide, and Liu Bei surrendered.
Then, Zhang Xiu said: "Hansheng, you immediately arrange soldiers to shoot arrows at Cao Ang's army to spread the news of Zhao Yun's victory. Now that Zhao Yun is attacking Huang County, I'd like to see how Cao ang will deal with it. In addition, another group of soldiers was arranged to take over Liu Bei's army in Changdu county. Zhao Yun left some soldiers behind and detained all the prisoners. "
"Here it is
As soon as Huang Zhong gave his fist, he went to arrange it.
After Huang Zhong retreated, Zhang Xiu called Wang Yue and asked Wang Yue to spread the news of Zhao Yun's victory throughout the army. When the news went on, all the soldiers knew that Liu Bei had been captured alive, and Zhao Yun was now going to Huangxian County, Donglai County, which excited all the soldiers.
Because in the eyes of the soldiers in the army, when Zhao Yun went straight to Huangxian, Cao ang would not be able to defend the camp of zhuxu county with no force to resist. The next victory is foreseeable.
A group of soldiers under Huang Zhong marched quickly, and it didn't take long for them to come outside Cao Ang's barracks.
When the distance was about 60 steps, because of the small number of soldiers in this group, there was no action in Cao Ang's camp. He didn't beat the drum to inform all the soldiers. He just responded to the changes with constancy and was careful.
At the command of the leader's school, the more than 600 soldiers quickly made great achievements, bent their bows and arched to the camp.
Sixty steps is not far away.
In the case of not requiring the accuracy of the bow and arrow, you just need to use your strength to pull the bow. So a bow and arrow, easily shot into the camp.
After three rounds of shooting, the school ordered the withdrawal.
When the soldiers picked up the bows and arrows and saw the notes tied to the shaft, they were all curious.
Many soldiers don't know words.
But when a literate person saw the contents of the note, he exclaimed.
Liu Bei is defeated!
All Liu Bei's troops were defeated. Zhao Yun led the army, has left Changdu County, once again to Donglai county to kill. As the news spread, countless Cao soldiers were in a panic.
When the soldiers were talking and their morale was unstable, the news also spread to Cao Ang's barracks. When Cao ang heard the news, he felt nervous.
Liu Bei is also a hero.
Cao ang, who was quite familiar with military affairs, was captured by Zhao Yunsheng, and Liu Bei's army was defeated. Under such a premise, Cao Ang's dilemma returned to the original situation.
When Cao Youjia and Guo angjia get the news, they are not ready to discuss.
After Xun you and Guo Jia entered, the rest of the generals followed. They all got the news and were at a loss. They didn't know what to do, so they came to ask for advice.
Looking at all the people gathered together, Cao ang said in a deep voice: "you all know about the defeat of Liu Bei. When Liu Bei was defeated, our intention to block Zhang Xiu's army on the back of Beihai Kingdom has been broken. What do you think we should do next? "
"Your Highness, just fight!"
Among the generals below, Dian man spoke. Once his father died in battle to protect Cao Cao. Dianman was full of hatred for Daqin, hoping to get revenge, so he didn't have any hesitation and directly suggested war.
Anyway, the situation is unfavorable.
Fight first.
Dianman's words were supported by some generals in the army. However, major generals such as Xia Houyuan did not express their opinions, because under the current situation, a dead battle is not the best choice. Until the last moment, it's impossible to fight directly, because once you fight directly, you will confront Zhang Xiu head-on, which is a sure defeat.
Cao ang did not respond and asked, "Mr. Guo, what do you think should be done next?"
Guo Jia sighed: "now your majesty is also looking for a way to defeat the enemy, but we don't know the location of Zhang Xiu's granary. There must be no chance to make a surprise attack. We can't surprise Zhang Xiu, and we can't beat her in the front. It's a moment's courage to take the initiative now. Once the fight starts, it's very bad for us. We can't fight to the death until the last minute. "Cao ang nodded.
Guo Jia continued: "so now, I agree with the suggestion mentioned by Lord Xun. Now, we can only abandon this camp in zhuxu County, leave and retreat, return to Huang County, and make the final resistance in Huang County. As long as Huangxian is concerned, we will hold on. Make Zhang Xiu's army return without success, then there is still a ray of life. If we can't keep it, the state of Wei will be in danger. "
When the other generals heard this, they were filled with righteous indignation and were not reconciled.
But the problem is that Zhang Xiu's military strength far exceeds that of the state of Wei. As a result, Cao ang could not stay even if he wanted to.
Xun you said in a deep voice: "the problem we are facing now is that Zhang Xiu specially arranges people to deliver the news, which is probably intentional. He's right. We'll retreat. Once our army withdraws, Zhang Xiu's army will immediately kill us and begin to cover us up. And Zhang Xiu's army is closely behind. It's not easy for us to retreat. "
"It is!"
Guo Jiayan said: "Lord Xun has a point. Zhang Xiuming can directly bring soldiers outside the camp, and then spread the news publicly. However, Zhang Xiu did not, so now, Zhang Xiu may have made up her mind to ambush us. So when we withdraw, we first withdraw on a large scale, and then disperse and break the whole into parts. In this way, even if Zhang Xiu ambushed the army, he would destroy at most a part of our troops. It is impossible to destroy all our troops. "
Cao ang said in a deep voice: "Mr. fengxiao is right, so do it. First, a group of soldiers were left to guard the camp to prevent Zhang Xiu's army from conquering the camp as soon as we left. Second, our troops wait until dark before they go on their way. At that time, even if Zhang Xiu wants to ambush us, it's not easy to ambush us, especially after breaking the whole into parts. "
"That's the only way to do it," Guo said
"Your Highness, the end will be willing to stay
At this time, Dian man took the initiative to speak. He was not afraid of death and knew that the situation was unfavorable, so he was willing to stay. What's more, when he can't resist, he will retreat directly.
Cao ang said: "so, it's hard for you."
Dian man said: "humble duty is not hard!"
Cao ang stood up and said, "I'm going to order the soldiers to pack up and prepare for the withdrawal. In addition to that, give dianman 10000 troops and stay in the camp to defend. "
Speaking of this, Cao ang stared at Dian man and said, "Dian man, after our army withdraws, you can keep watch. If you can't keep watch, you will withdraw immediately. Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
Dianman grinned, showed his white teeth and said, "don't worry, your highness. I know what to do. All in all, I just need to delay a certain amount of time. If our army retreats far away and Zhang Xiu hasn't come to attack, then humble officers will leave the barracks earlier. "
Cao Aung chin said: "you understand."
For Timon, he is very trusting, and Timon's age is not much different from him. They have been in the army all the time, so their relationship is good. Cao ang hopes Timon can survive and safely withdraw to Huangxian County, Donglai county.
