Sure enough, as Wei Zifeng said, the sky changed, and quietly, the border army on three sides of the Great Wei began to retreat, and it was in the stalemate stage of the victory or defeat, and the troops withdrew without reservation, and the entire 450,000 Great Wei border troops gave up the three-sided defense line and retreated quickly, not in defeat, but on the initiative to retreat, retreat cleanly, and never drag mud and water.

Duan Xifeng in the Western Chu Shuangbi once mentioned in the article on the Art of War: "Of all the war operations, retreat is the most difficult. "The intention of the Northern Wei Dynasty to retreat this time is obvious, not to lose troops in a stalemate battle, to exchange space for time and overall strategic advantages, to deploy troops in one place, to complete the work in one battle, to have an unprecedented general battle.

In the Zhenbei Army, except for Wuchuan Town, which is still standing on the vast land, 100,000 Zhenbei troops retreated in batches in an orderly manner, Song Junyi showed the military quality that an experienced general should have, each retreat is not much, all of them are grain and grass weapons first, followed by the retreat of more than 10,000 troops, leaving no mistake to the grassland army, this move suddenly made the Huns on the opposite side a little unbearable, and I don't understand what this move means.

In the past, the grassland cavalry went south, and the Zhenbei Army often retreated in exchange for space, using the complex terrain such as mountains, rivers, and cities in the Central Plains to delay the cavalry's offensive, but this time the retreat was inexplicable, the day before it was still a decisive battle posture, and the next day there was only an open field left in the military camp in front of him. In order to test the truth and falsehood, the Hun cavalry attacked several times during the period, but they were all repelled by the Checheng and crossbowmen composed of heavy vehicles of the Zhenbei army. Especially after the Yellow River burst its banks, the Central Plains was covered with a yellow flood area, invisibly, forming a block, plus the 50,000 horses who retreated to the Yellow River in advance for disaster relief, so the Zhenbei Army retreated in an orderly manner with almost no losses.

Compared with the Zhenbei Army, the Zhenxi Army retreated vigorously and simply and directly, 150,000 Zhenxi Army set up camp overnight and retreated quickly along the mountains and rivers, and after the Zhenxi Army General Hong Xiguan personally pressed the formation, compared with the Zhenbei Army and the Zhennan Army, the Zhenxi Army was an army in the traditional sense, completely independent of the imperial court and the surrounding towns. The Zhenbei Army is a wartime army, the army of farming in leisure time, the Zhennan Army guards the first line of the river, and also has more dealings with the surrounding businesses, the Zhenxi Army is completely an army establishment, so the military horse town and Xueyong City established by the Zhenxi Army are all important military towns, and the unified dispatch and management in the city, except for the army and the families of the soldiers, there are no other shops. In order to prevent the infiltration of merchants, the Zhenxi Army not only cut off trade with Western Chu, but also refused to interact with merchants from the Western Regions, which also indirectly shows how precious the night jade lion that Li Yuanying gave to Wu Qingyuan was back then.

When the Zhenxi army retreated, it retreated most simply, because they were all soldiers, and there was no parting feeling of their homeland, and as soon as the military order arrived, the army retreated on all fronts. In the middle of the retreat, Hong Xiguan and Xiong Tuwei led five thousand Zhenxi troops to kill a horse gun, with lightning speed, bypassing the battle line between the Zhenxi army and Western Chu, inserting into the abdomen of the Western Chu army, passing through, beheading five thousand Western Chu soldiers, the battle was fruitful, it is rumored that Liu Zhu, the emperor of Western Chu who heard this, was really angry, and scolded the Western Chu generals in front of Zhuge Wei for being "waste", and ordered the Western Chu army to move eastward on behalf of the suspected Yue Yan, so that the Zhenxi army would pay for the blood debt of the dead five thousand brothers! Zhuge Wei did not stop it, let His Majesty the Emperor order, the Western Chu army marched largely, and when it was opposed to the Zhenxi army, the 150,000 troops of the Zhenxi army immediately stopped retreating, turned their heads and approached the Western Chu army violently, as if they were in a decisive battle posture.

Hearing the military report, Emperor Xichu, who didn't understand the art of war, was a little panicked, and he couldn't care about his face: "Sir, sir, how can this be good?" Zhuge Wei didn't hold it in his hand: "Let the Zhenxi Army retreat for the time being." As a result, the Zhenxi Army slowly retreated to the Central Plains to form a new line of defense.

In the first line of the Great River, the strategic effect of the retreat of the Zhennan Army is the most significant, according to the strategic conception of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Liang in the past, the Great River line between the two countries is also the battlefield of the final decisive battle, the side of the victory of the Great River War must be able to go south or north unimpeded, so the two sides hoard a large number of troops in the north and south of the Great River, especially the strong national strength of the Southern Liang, and it does not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to maintain and strengthen the first line of the Great River, and it is faster than the Northern Wei Dynasty everywhere, such as the idea of the Northern Wei Dynasty ship city has just emerged, and the Southern Liang has begun to step up research and development, and now the eight ship cities docked on the south bank of the Great River are proof。

As soon as the Zhennan army withdrew, Nanliang couldn't react for a while, and a large number of ships became useless decorations. Some people began to spread rumors, saying that this move of the Northern Wei Dynasty was a plan that had already been planned, and that it had been creating the illusion of a decisive battle against the Great River for decades, and that it was actually using the Great River to consume the national strength of the Southern Liang.

However, the Nanliang side reacted very quickly, and the army quickly crossed the line of the river and quickly assembled, while the army of the second battlefield opened up by She Yu quickly gathered at a lightning speed, and the two armies were staggered with each other, with the army of the second battlefield as the vanguard and the Dajiang army as the follow-up force, and quickly advanced forward. In particular, the southern Xinjiang army is stationed in the swampy and hilly southern Xinjiang area all the year round, and it is not too easy for the Central Plains with relatively flat terrain.

The Zhennan army took a step back, and the Southern Liang army took a step forward, and both sides were very conservative. Zhang Muzhi, the general of the Zhennan Army, always observed the movements of the Southern Liang army, since Lin Moxing's death, the Southern Liang army has been leaderless, and the new emperor Chen Shixiu did not send a new governor, and on the second battlefield, the new generalissimo She Yu also returned to Jiankang City for some reason to recuperate. Zhang Muzhi was more concerned about the changes in the Southern Liang court than the enemy in front of him, and he had already heard that Chen Fage, who had been demoted to his home, had entered Jiankang City.

Since then, the three-line army retreated at the same time, and finally the end of the interaction, each other as hand in hand, forming an arc of protection, according to the plan of the Zhongtang Lord, the Zhenbei Army to retreat to Tongguan, Zhangjiakou, Datong line, Zhenxi Army to retreat to Hanzhong, Changsheng, Zhennan Army to retreat to Huai'an, Shangqiu, Nanyang, the three border armies for each other, forming an impermeable line of defense, reality and planning have some way out, due to the Yellow River bursting, the Zhenbei Army retreated more thoroughly, directly to Zhili, The Langfang generation is simply under the roots of Tai'an City, and the Zhenxi Army retreats completely according to the plan, and the Zhennan Army is slightly southerly.

The encirclement formed by the three border armies, two-thirds of the land area was abandoned, and in the center was Tai'an City!
