What he said is very true, and I think so too. Cao Liang said.

Cao Liang did think about this issue when he evacuated the Great Xia Gate and retreated to Kim Yong City, as a defensive fortress in Luoyang, although the city was small and strong, but the room for maneuver was too small to be a temporary garrison point, if it was to hold on for a long time, Kim Yong Cheng was obviously not qualified.

And returning to Merge has become Cao Liang's only choice, after all, Cao Liang's foundation is in Merge State, and only by returning to Merge State can Cao Liang have the capital to fight against the Sima family.

The current situation is already extremely severe, Cao Shuang's easy surrender made Cao Liang's pressure suddenly multiply, originally Sima Yi's mutiny, not against Cao Shuang, Cao Liang's killing, like a dark horse, unexpected by Sima Yi, also completely disrupted his deployment.

If Cao Shuang is not so good or that he surrenders late, then he can buy Cao Liang a little more time, so that Cao Liang will have a chance to change the situation in Luoyang.

But Cao Shuang's crisp defeat made all this without any suspense, Cao Liang also rose from Sima Yi's secondary opponent to the only opponent, and now Sima Yi's strength has skyrocketed, and he can crush Cao Liang in all aspects, if Cao Liang continues to deal with Sima Yi according to the previous plan, he will inevitably suffer a great loss.

As a general, you must learn to judge the situation, and when the battlefield situation changes, you can adapt and make appropriate adjustments.

At this point, Cao Liang and Huan Fan coincide.

And since the plan to retreat has been made, then the action must be fast, and Sima Yi must not be left with any chance.

Who is Sima Yi? He is a battle-hardened old fox, with a very sensitive sense of military smell, and the main reason why he has not sent troops to deal with Cao Liang is that he must accept Cao Shuang's surrender and integrate Cao Shuang's army.

Sima Yi is a person who will be revenged, not to mention that Cao Liang has become a stumbling block on his way to seize Cao Wei's power, and under Cao Shuang, Cao Liang will become Sima Yi's number one enemy, and will spare no effort to chase and beat him, and he will not give up if he is not destroyed.

Therefore, Cao Liang summoned Cao Yanwenqin and others to discuss the withdrawal of troops.

Everyone knows the current situation, so on the matter of withdrawing troops, a consensus was quickly reached, but from Luoyang to Bingzhou, although there is only a short road of a few hundred miles, but because of the danger of the Yellow River, how to quickly cross the Yellow River is the key factor in whether Luoyang can be successfully evacuated and returned to the state.

If it was just the cavalry battalion, its speed would definitely be beyond the reach of Sima Jun, but among the retreating teams, there were many family members, and these non-combatants not only needed the protection of the cavalry, but also seriously slowed down the marching speed of the cavalry battalion.

According to the barrel effect, the cavalry battalion is naturally the longest board, and the family team is the shortest board, and the final team's marching speed is not determined by the longest board, but by the shortest board.

But in any case, the family team cannot be lost, there are not only Cao Liang's family, Huan Fan's family, but also the family members of many middle and lower-level command officers, if there is no accident in the family team, the military heart of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion will not be dispersed, Cao Liang is not Liu Bei, he can abandon his wife and children anytime and anywhere, so he must ensure the safety of the family team.

This evacuation operation is extremely important to Cao Liang.

Wen Qin was selected as the pioneer and led a thousand men and horses from his headquarters to set off for the Xiaopingjin Ferry. His mission was clear, first of all, to control the crossing of the Yellow River, to find the boats to cross the river, and to make all preparations before crossing the river.

This task is quite important, and it is related to the key to whether or not it can be safely withdrawn and annexed to the state, and the Yellow River crossing itself is a bottleneck, and Sima Yi will definitely do enough to make a fuss on the Yellow River crossing when he launches a mutiny in Luoyang, and it is not easy to fight a bloody road from here.

Therefore, Cao Liang and Cao Yan chose the most trusted Wen Qin to take this position, Wen Qin has a calm personality and rich experience in marching and fighting, and Cao Liang is still more relieved to have him as a pioneer.

Xian Hong and Liu Jing each led their headquarters to protect the safety of their families on the left and right flanks to prevent Sima Jun from sneaking up on the left and right flanks.

After all, although there are some family members to protect the family team, but the family member's combat ability, how can it compete with the regular army, if once Sima Jun is killed into the family team, it will be like a hungry wolf into the flock, and it is difficult not to be harmed.

Therefore, the protection of the left and right wings is also extremely important, and the soldiers and horses of the cavalry battalion are guarding on the flanks, which can ensure the safety of the family team to the greatest extent.

Cao Liang organized the crossbow team into the family team, and used the car as a cover, and these crossbow soldiers will become the last reliance of the entire family team.

Of course, the most important thing is the candidate for the post-mortem.

After the break, it means that you have to bear the attack from Sima's pursuers, which is not only a heavy task, but also extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the enemy's encirclement, not only will it be difficult for you to get out, but also will cause the rear of the family team to have no protection and be slaughtered.

Therefore, this person will be crucial, and he will even determine whether the entire retreat operation can be successful.

For this reason, Cao Liang and Cao Yan had a dispute, and Cao Liang's plan was to break it off by himself, and Cao Yan would protect the family team. However, Cao Yan resolutely disagreed, he insisted on personally leading the broken rear team composed of the front and rear of the Xiao cavalry, and asked Cao Liang, is he familiar with these two teams, can he command them to fight?

From this point of view, Cao Liang is really inferior to Cao Yan, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion was trained by Cao Yan, what is the combat ability of that unit, what kind of tactics to adapt to, Cao Yan knows everything about it, and if Cao Liang is replaced, the combat efficiency will definitely be greatly reduced.

In the end, the whole team was arranged, Cao Liang, Huan Fan, and Lu Zhi jointly protected the Chinese army, and Cao Yan took on the most critical task of breaking the back.

The withdrawal was launched at the first time, and Wen Qin led the leading troops to ride away and rush to the Xiaopingjin ferry.

And all the family members also took action, although not vigorously, but also in an orderly manner.
