Under the auspices of Xiahou Xuan, hundreds of thousands of people in Xindu were quickly evacuated, and in this process, Xiahou Xuan did not use a single soldier of the state army, but selected 20,000 or 30,000 people from hundreds of thousands of people to maintain order and help those women, children, old and weak to evacuate.

In order to prevent accidents, Xiahou Xuan did not issue weapons to these soldiers at all, but most of these selected people were strong and strong, and they had been soldiers before, and now they are used to maintain order, but it is effortless.

What's more, the current situation in Xindu is very bad, lack of food and clothing, epidemics are rampant, there is no way to provide any living conditions for those who stay here, and escaping Xindu has become the consensus of almost all Rao, and with the evacuation of a large number of people from Xindu, this place will also be completely reduced to a dead city.

The withdrawal of the Bingzhou army was earlier, in fact, after the flood, the number of Bingzhou troops who arrived in Xindu was not much, there were only more than 10,000 people in total, most of them were still responsible for transporting grain and grass materials, after the death of Lu Zhao, no one in the entire Xindu stood up to resist, and the process of receiving Xindu was quite smooth.

Cao Liang handed over the aftermath to Xiahou Xuan to deal with, and as for Cao Liang, he would do his best to deal with Sima Shi's attack.

After conquering Xindu, it can be regarded as completely smashing Sima Shi's plan to rescue Xindu, and the Xindu area has become a water town, no matter which side, it is impossible to use Xindu as a battlefield anymore, if Sima Shi continues to march to the north of Jizhou, he will definitely choose the target again.

At this time, the prediction is very important, if you can guess the direction of the Sima army's attack, and the state army can make strategic arrangements in advance, to achieve twice the result with half the effort, if the judgment is wrong, it will fall into the dilemma of exhaustion, and the opportunity will fall into the hands of the column.

However, it is not too difficult to make a judgment, Xindu is located in the center of the north of Jizhou, with Anping County and Bohai County to the east, Zhongshan County and Changshan County to the west.

As for whether Sima Shi will choose to march from the east road or choose to march from the west road, this must be analyzed from the perspective of its strategic value.

The east side of the road is close to the sea, and the terrain is relatively flat, which is conducive to large-scale cavalry operations, while the west side is the foothills of the Taihang Mountains, the terrain is undulating, and the difficulty of marching and fighting is obviously greater than that of the east road.

However, from the perspective of strategic value, marching from the west road, attacking Youzhou to the north, and threatening to merge with the state to the west, is much greater than taking the east road.

In order to reconnoiter the movements of the Sima army, Cao Liang sent a lot of scouts to the Yecheng area, closely monitoring the latest movements of the Sima army, and sure enough, after the Sima division arrived in Yecheng, after a short rest, appointed Zhong Hui as the vanguard of the front, leading 50,000 cavalry along the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, to the Zhao State area, the target is directed at Changshan County.

Obviously, Sima Shi's move is no different from Cao Liang's judgment, Sima Shi marched from the west road, and the first target was Zhending and Jingcheng Pass, as long as he could take the above two places, whether he continued to advance north or take the state in the west, he would have the greatest initiative.

Cao Liang sneered slightly, Sima Shi's wishful thinking is good, but it is not the final wishful thinking, but it is not his calculation.

If the Bingzhou Army is not able to take Xindu, and at this moment, in the face of Sima Jun's internal and external cooperation, then the situation is really unpredictable, but now after the Bingzhou Army takes Xindu, Sima Jun's internal should be gone, and naturally there will be no external cooperation.

Cao Liang gathered all the strategists and the generals of each battalion to discuss the countermeasures.

This is probably a tradition of the state army, but whenever there is a major military operation, Cao Liang will gather the relevant personnel to discuss the matter, everyone make suggestions, brainstorm, and finally Cao Liang will make the decision. One person is short, two people are long, three stinkers can also top Zhuge Liang, not to mention, Cao Liang's subordinates are all the top strategists and famous generals of this era, their words and strategies show the light of wisdom, sometimes Cao Liang often sighs, if he is not the identity of a traverser, there is no knowledge of more than them for thousands of years, I am afraid that he is really not qualified to sit with them and talk about it.

In the face of the menacing Sima Division's 170,000 troops, the generals and strategists sitting here are all calm and calm, talking and laughing, without the slightest feeling of facing a great enemy.

This is not pride, let alone frivolity, but based on their own positioning, the current state army, the combat power is not inferior to any army, for any army, they have the courage and courage to win.

In the face of this Sima army's attack, Huan Fan took the lead in proposing a plan to lure the enemy deeper, if the 170,000 Sima army attacked in a group, it was obviously impossible to swallow this behemoth in one bite, but if the Bingzhou army could find a way to divide it and annihilate it, it would be the most ideal tactic.

Deng Ai believes that the commander of the front of the Sima army is Zhong Hui, Zhong Hui is a scheming, good at strategy, and it is difficult to fool the enemy by simply luring the enemy into the depths, and the front of Zhong Hui is 50,000 cavalry, which is also the most elite force in the entire team of the Sima army.

The generals spoke freely and put forward different suggestions, and although they disagreed, they were equally enthusiastic about making suggestions, even fighting for a detail.

Cao Liang waved and signaled everyone to stop arguing, there are thousands of families and one person in charge, since Cao Liang has spoken, then the generals naturally stopped arguing, and focused their eyes on Cao Liang's body.

Zhongrao's suggestion is a suggestion after all, and the real decision has to be made by Cao Liang.

Cao Liang originally had his own preliminary plan, and after listening to the suggestions of the generals and strategists at this moment, the entire battle plan was perfected, and then, Cao Liang threw this battle plan on the table for everyone to discuss, and finally decided.
