Sima Jun retreated like a tide, but also naturally attracted the attention of Yanghu, in these days of siege, Jiexiu City was completely reduced to an island, the outside world news isolated, Yanghu of course could not know about the battle of Qixian, only felt that Sima Jun's retreat, quite hasty, a chaotic appearance.

Could it be that Sima Jun was suspicious and wanted to lure the defenders out of the city to pursue?

Because the same trick Sima Jun has already used, but Yanghu is not fooled, in the face of ten times the number of enemies on his own, Jiexiu's city is the best means of defense, and once this barrier is lost, no matter how powerful the infantry battalion is, it is impossible to defeat so many enemies.

Therefore, no matter what means Sima Jun used, Yanghu insisted on his original intention and did not move like a mountain, ignoring Sima Jun's tricks and tricks, his first task now is to hold Jiexiu City, as for the destruction of the enemy, it is not within the scope of Yanghu's ability, Sima Jun's army is strong, relying on a strong city, Yanghu can deal with the enemy one or two, but if it is a field battle, there is no chance of victory.

Yanghu climbed the city tower and watched Sima Jun leave, he just watched coldly, and Yanghu ignored the request of his generals to go to war, but ordered to strictly guard the city, and not a single soldier was allowed to leave the city.

Whether Sima Jun really retreated, or played with intrigues, it didn't matter to Yanghu, and Yanghu would not leave Jiexiu easily without waiting for reinforcements from the Bingzhou army to come.

This is his principle of not giving an inch.

Of course, Sima Shi didn't expect to be able to lure Yanghu out of the city to pursue, after such a long time of dealing, Sima Shi also knows Yanghu very well, anyway, no matter what kind of means are used, it is hopeless to take Jiexiu City, in order to avoid the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy, Sima Shi must complete the withdrawal as soon as possible, and the consequences of hesitation are likely to suffer more heavy losses.

In order to achieve the goal of withdrawing from Pingyang as soon as possible, Sima Shi ordered to abandon almost all the baggage materials and heavy equipment, of course, in order to prevent these things from falling into the hands of the Bingzhou army, Sima Shi burned all these materials before retreating, leaving only a pile of ashes.

The fire is burning, Sima Jun's previous camp has been empty, leaving only a piece of wolf, Sima Jun's soldiers are still sighing when they leave, you know, so many baggage and equipment, it has cost a lot of real money, all of them are burned, it is really a big waste.

Of course, Sima Shi is also very distressed, although the Sima family is now in power, but in charge of the world, the place where money is spent is also the sea, and throwing away so many materials in vain is simply a tyrannical thing.

However, if you want to complete the withdrawal as soon as possible, Sima Shi has to make up her mind and leave lightly, the current situation is very urgent, and the Bingzhou army, which has the advantage of cavalry, may chase after it at any time, and now it is not willing to abandon these materials, once the pursuers arrive, not only will they not have the opportunity to destroy these things, but if they fail to evacuate in time, it is likely that the army will suffer losses.

At this time, the determination and perseverance of the main general are needed, and hesitation will lead to endless troubles, Sima Yi has not recovered from his serious injuries, and he cannot see things, and now the burden of commanding the whole army falls on the shoulders of Sima Shi, and it is Sima Shi's greatest responsibility to evacuate safely to Pingyang with these 100,000 people.

Sima Jun marched all the way to the south, and at the request of Sima Shi, the whole army stayed overnight, and the speed of the march reached twice the normal marching speed, and the journey of more than 300 miles, Sima Shi planned to complete it in three days.

Of course, compared with the cavalry, such a speed is still far away, but the good news is that when Sima Jun set off from Jiexiu, the Bingzhou cavalry has been stranded in the area of Qi County, and there is no attempt to go south.

The battle of Bingzhou is already in the past, and now what Sima Shi has to do is to forget the past, regain confidence, in order to hold Pingyang County and Hedong County, he must cheer up, turn the tide, and fight with the Bingzhou army to the end.

After three days of forced marching, Sima Shi could finally see the city of Pingyang, and he was a little tired and could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and ordered the whole army to enter the city immediately, and began to deploy the city defense of Pingyang, ready to meet the incoming enemy.

Pingyang City is silent at the moment, the city gate is closed, and even the city can not see a single figure, it stands to reason that Pingyang is far behind the front line, and the level of defense is not high, before Sima Jun arrives, Pingyang City should be the city gate open, and the people can come and go freely, why is the city gate closed at this moment, and there is no one to live?

Maybe it was the news of the defeat at the front that reached Pingyang, which made Pingyang's defense level significantly improve by a few grades, but who gave the order, Sima Shi was confused, because it was Pingyang who acted as the vanguard officer in Sima Army, it was Pingyang who guarded Hu Fen too much, and Hu Fen did not have Pingyang City, so who had the courage to close the city gate of Pingyang?

Now is not the time to hold anyone responsible, the gates of Pingyang City are closed, hindering the pace of Sima's army entering the city, Sima Shi ordered his soldiers with loud voices to run to the city and shout to open the door.

But what is very strange is that even if these soldiers shouted out their throats, the city was as silent as death, and there was not even the slightest response.

Sima Shi was confused, could it be that Pingyang City had changed hands? But this is impossible, the state army has been stationed in Qi County, which means that they have always been behind Sima Jun, even if they can put their wings, it is impossible to go around so without moving.

Sima Shi, accompanied by Hu Fen, personally came to Pingyang City, checked one or two, and sure enough, Pingyang City did not move, and even the banner of Wei on the head of the city was a little shabby, standing there quietly, as if laughing at the unwisdom of Sima Shi and others.

Hu Fen couldn't help but be furious, he was Pingyang Taishou anyway, and he had been in Pingyang for a few years, and now after sneaking around, he found that he couldn't even enter the door, which was simply unreasonable.

Hu Fen ordered the sergeant to set up a ladder and climb up to the top of the city to see what was going on.

As soon as these sergeants had climbed halfway, they heard the sound of shouts above the city, and countless soldiers poured out, with swords and guns in hand, bows and arrows at the strings, densely crowded the city wall, and the first general laughed and said: "Master Sima, I have been waiting here for a long time!"
