Chapter 1007

"Can Corby retire? It's disgusting. "

After hearing the news of Kebi Neng's retreat, Xiahou Shang frowned. Originally, Cao Jun and Ke Bi Neng could cooperate with each other, but now Ke Bi Neng's army suddenly retreated, and Xia Hou Shang was naturally helpless.

There was no time to think about why Ke Bi Neng suddenly retreated. Xia Hou Shang frowned and said, "the whole army withdraws from Liaoxi and turns to Liaodong, quick!"

Xia Hou Shang's head turned very fast. Xu Huang and Lv Bu originally intended to deal with themselves, but because Kebi was able to invade temporarily, they went north to deal with Ke Bi Neng. Now that Ke Bi Neng has retreated, Xu Huang and Lv Bu must be facing themselves.

We must retreat quickly before the enemy arrives, or it will be too late to go!

Xiahou Shang immediately mobilized, and ten thousand Cao troops withdrew from Liaoxi County on the same day. However, two days later, Bingzhou army and Jizhou army arrived in Liaoxi county.

"Xiahou Shang has already retreated. This boy is really fast."

Lu Bu turned back and said, "Gongming, you can take your soldiers to the rear slowly. I will lead the cavalry to catch up with you. Maybe you can intercept the enemy on the way."

Xu Huang shook his head. Since Xiahou Shang had already retreated, he was expected to launch a rapid march. Could he catch up with him in two days?

But since Lv Bu wants to catch up with him, let him go after him. In case he can catch up with him.

Lu Bu led his army to catch up with Cao's army almost day and night, but Xia HOUSHANG had gone two days earlier, so he failed to catch up.

"General, don't you want the city?" The commander asked.

"No, all the soldiers will be taken away. The grain and grass will be burned. We can't leave any supplies for the enemy. Do you understand?" Xia Hou Shang ordered.

He made the general's face show an unbearable color: "ah? Burned, these grains and grasses... "

" hum! Grain and grass can not be taken away, which will slow down the pace of the March, and will not be set on fire. Is it left for the enemy to eat? " The summer marquis is is still cold.

"I don't understand."

Since xialushang took over the city, the main task was to withdraw all the troops from the city, not the empty city.

"Wen Hou, did you catch Xia Hou Shang?"

"No, let xiahoushang escape into Xiangping city." Lu Bu frowned.

Xiangping city is the capital of Liaodong army. After Gongsun Du became the governor of Liaodong, he made himself a marquis. Naturally, Xiangping city was renovated and became one of the most important cities in Youzhou area. Now all the main force of Cao's army is concentrated in Xiangping City, which is obviously intended to make a desperate fight.

"In this way, our army's final task is to capture Xiangping city and annihilate the garrison in the city." Xu Huang clearly said.

"Hum, these bandits are not willing to go out to fight in the city, or some Binzhou iron cavalry will have to wipe them out at one stroke." Lu Bu hums.

"Ha ha, I really have an important task to give to Wen Hou." Xu Huang said with a smile.

"What? It's not that the cavalry of my marquis is is going to attack the city? " Lu Bu frowned.

"Of course not." "Two hundred miles southwest of Xiangping City, there is a port named Anping port. Please lead the cavalry of marquis Wen to attack it quickly to prevent Cao's troops from strengthening from the south," Xu Huang said

Anping port is the largest port and the only port in Liaodong area. Gongsundu sent troops from the sea and captured several counties in Qingzhou, that is, from Anping port.

Xu Huang was worried that Cao Cao might send some of his troops to land from Anping port to cooperate with Xia Hou Shangjun. Therefore, he asked Lv Bu to seize Anping port, cut off the sea route, cut off the communication between Qingzhou and Liaodong, and make Xiangping a lonely city!

"Well, that's good. Cavalry is not very useful in attacking cities."

Lu Bu immediately yelled: "go, take Anping port!"

Lu Bu led thousands of Bingzhou cavalry to Anping port, and the remaining thousands were to prevent the enemy troops from breaking through, so they were left to Xu Huang.

However, Xu Huang did not directly attack the city. He had already observed the surrounding areas of Xiangping city. This strong city has no flaws. Its walls are strong and its defense is strong. In addition, there are more than 10000 troops stationed in the city. It is very difficult to attack.

"Dig trenches on all sides, don't let the enemy out!"

Xu Huang ordered tens of thousands of Jizhou troops to dig trenches around Xiangping City, surrounded Xiangping City, and completely cut off the enemy's desire to break through.

"General, the weather in Liaodong is cold, and it's ok now. Once it's winter and the road goes south, we need to prepare a lot of food and grass, otherwise it's very likely that something will happen."

After listening to the advice of his generals, Xu Huang nodded: "it's reasonable. Send a letter to Ziyang to let him transport grain and grass from Youzhou and Jizhou, so that he can go by water."

More than a hundred years later, Huanwen made several northern expeditions. During his third northern expedition to Qianyan, he ordered people to dig 300 Li waterway in Juye, so that ships could enter the Yellow River from clear water and transport grain and grass by waterway. Unfortunately, Huanwen fought steadily and did not have a quick decision. As a result, the water level dropped after winter, and it was difficult to sustain food and grass. The Northern Expedition failed in the end It's over.However, Xu Huang plans to transport grain directly by sea. No matter what the season is, the sea will never be exhausted.

Xu Huang made a plan for a long-term siege, but Cao's soldiers in the city did not fight and started chaos. If it was not for Xia Hou's coercion, Cao's army would mutiny.

"Bolen, what should our army do?"

Lu Qian's face was full of melancholy. At that time, his method of cleaning up the powerful and powerful people in the county could be described as vigorous and vigorous. Therefore, he was valued by Cao Cao and entrusted with an important task. But in the face of such a situation, even LV Qian didn't know what to do.

"Alas..."

the Marquis of Xia still sighed for a long time, and could not think of any good way. You should know that both land and sea routes are blocked by Xu Huang. Even if you want to send someone out for help, you can only wait.

"Zike, don't worry." Xia Hou Shang said with relief: "our army's strength is not too small, coupled with the Xiangping city which Gongsun Du has operated for many years as a support, the enemy dare not attack with all their strength, and the safety of Xiangping city will be no problem within a few months."

"Is this how our army has been consumed?" Lu Qian could not help saying.

"What else? Let's go on like this first. Maybe it will turn around. "

Even Xia Hou Shang himself didn't believe this sentence, but what could he do? At present, the morale of the army is slack. If we take the initiative to send troops to fight the enemy in the field, we are afraid that we will be timid before fighting. For today's plan, there is only a temporary stalemate, waiting for a turning point.
