On the way back.

Hao Zhao asked suspiciously: "Lord, how can there be more than 100,000 Cao troops here?" And they are all the elite of the Cao army, and the general who leads the army is Cao Ren, which doesn't look like they're here to stop me. It doesn't take so much effort to stop me. ”

"You have a great eye."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Yuan Xi entered the cabin, looked at the map and said, "I already know Cao Cao's intentions. He wants to go to Hebei, attack our territory, and cause trouble for us. ”

"He's too bold, isn't he?"

"It's not boldness, it's strategy. If you think about it, we have transferred all the elites to the Central Plains, Hebei is almost an empty city, and the local army is very weak. Once Cao Ren's 150,000 troops are encountered, who can stop them? I'm afraid I can't even defend Yecheng. Therefore, Cao Cao was right to do this, and he forced me to retreat the army. Yuan Xi shook his head and sighed.

"The lord wants to withdraw his troops?"

Hao Zhao asked in surprise.

"Just withdraw a small part and block Cao Ren. Our original plan has not changed. ”

"My lord..." Hao Zhao said: "The last general feels that there is no need to withdraw the troops on the front line for the sake of Cao Ren, which will cause the morale of our army to be frustrated. ”

"Then who is going to stop Cao Ren?"

"The last general will be ordered to be stationed in Hedong County, and Cao Ren will never be allowed to cross the border one step." Hao Zhao said.

Hao Zhao only had more than 10,000 troops under his command, and after the Battle of Xiaopingjin, there were less than 8,000 left, which was too big compared with the 150,000 elites of Cao's army. And Cao Ren is a general who can fight well.

Yuan Xi felt that even if Hao Zhao would defend the city again, it would be very troublesome this time.

Because he didn't have an army for Hao Zhao.

"Do you know that Hedong, Hanoi, and Banpujin, all the armies combined, are only less than 10,000, and with the thousands of remnants under your command, can they stop Cao Ren?"

"The last general will fight to the death!"

Yuan Xi believed that Hao Zhao would live and die with the city, but this was not what he wanted.

With Hao Zhao's talent, he can hold more important positions and do a lot of great things. There is really no need to die here for a Cao Ren, and finally die on the battlefield.

"Lord, Chen Lin said that we were miraculous in the text of begging for thieves, and the soldiers were also used to winning, and they couldn't accept defeat. Now in this situation, it is time to go all out and fight to Xuchang and eliminate Cao Cao. How can the army be withdrawn, this will make the soldiers dissatisfied and demoralized. Hao Zhao persuaded.

Yuan Xi thought about it and felt that Hao Zhao's concerns were not unreasonable.

"If you are asked to garrison Hedong County, how many soldiers and horses do you need?"

"20,000 is enough!" Hao Zhao replied.

"Is 20,000 enough?"

"Enough!" In order to prevent Yuan Xi from withdrawing his troops, Hao Zhao took the risk of saying the figure of 20,000. In fact, 50,000 troops may not be able to hold it. Because Cao Ren's 150,000 people are all elite, and they are good at attacking cities.

"Hao Zhao, do you think I don't know, the side defending the city must at least reach a ratio of 1:3 before it is possible to defend the city. Although you are good at defending the city, how can 20,000 people be able to defeat 150,000? Yuan Xi said: "If you have to take on this task, I won't stop you, but you must have 50,000 troops." ”

"But..." Hao Zhao said: "We don't have 50,000 troops now. ”

"I'll figure it out for you."

Yuan Xi thought in his heart, it really can't be done, so he will transfer troops from Bingzhou again. Even if the local army is gathered, it will have to gather 50,000 men. This is the necessary force to block Cao Ren's northward advance.

"If you can't get together 50,000 people, I'll send you a giant beast. From now on, you should think carefully about how to use tens of thousands of local troops to hold Hedong County. Don't forget, the enemy you are facing is Cao Ren, who can fight well, and the 150,000 elite Cao army he brought. Don't be careless. Yuan Xi admonished.

"The last will understand."

The warship retreated to Kohiratsu, where it docked. Hao Zhao's remnants also landed there and rushed to Hedong County to set up defenses.

Taking advantage of the fact that Cao's army had not yet arrived, Yuan Xi took the four sides to Hexi County and ordered the defenders there to assemble in Hedong County and obey Hao Zhao's dispatch. After that, he rushed to Wei County.

The defenders of Wei County were also quite weak.

All the important cities were garrisoned by less than 3,000 soldiers and horses.

The rest were transferred to the front.

There is no way to draw troops.

In desperation, he quietly returned to Yecheng and found Ju Yi, the governor of Zhili.

Ju Yi has 20,000 forbidden troops under his hands, and they have been idle. Their task is not to fight, but to guard Yecheng, guard the granaries everywhere, maintain order, and ensure the security of Yecheng.

But none of that matters anymore because Cao Ren is here. Yuan Xi needs them to fight.

"How many soldiers and horses is the lord going to transfer?" In the barracks, Ju Yi asked.

"How much can you come up with?"

"This..." Ju Yi thought for a while: "If there is no battle in Yecheng, 15,000 people can be transferred." But... Once there is an enemy, we will be seriously underarmed. ”

"I see, let's transfer 15,000 people. I don't think there will be a battle in Yecheng. Because Cao Ren could only enter Hebei from a young age. Yuan Xi said.

"What about Liyang? What if Cao Ren attacks Liyang? It's the closest to Yecheng, so it's easy to break through. Ju Yi said.

According to normal circumstances, the enemy does have a high probability of attacking Liyang.

However, after Gan Ning served as the governor of the navy, he arranged heavy troops in Liyang.

Yuan Xi was very confident in Gan Ning's defense, so he said: "You can rest assured that Gan Ning has already prepared, and it is impossible for Cao Ren to capture Liyang." Unless he wants to use the infantry army to compete with Gan Ning's water army. If that's the case, you won't need it. Ganning will be able to destroy him. ”

"The war situation is urgent, and I don't have time to talk to you about it. Quickly dispatched 15,000 soldiers and horses to Hedong and returned to Hao Zhao's dispatch. ”

"Yes."

Juyi can only respond.

...........

A few days later.

In addition to the armies of Hexi County and Yecheng of Wei County, there were also local armies of Julu, Changshe, Huguan, and Shangdang, which also rushed to Hedong. The combined strength of these places is 20,000 or 30,000 people.

The total of zero and zero is equivalent to 50,000.

In order to let Hao Zhao hold Hedong and prevent Cao Ren from going north, Yuan Xi asked the military department to prepare a large number of catapults and ballistas and escort them to the front line.

These instruments were originally intended to be used to guard Yecheng, but now they are no longer needed.

All of them were sent to Hedong County.

After Cao Ren captured Xiaopingjin, he took a short rest. After that, we rushed to Banpojin.

Everything was as Yuan Xi expected.

Cao Ren really wanted to enter Hebei from there.

This made Hao Zhao's 50,000 people play a great role. Of course, Hao Zhao does not have 50,000 people in his hands now, and he does not have the equipment to defend the city. Because it takes a few days to send troops from Wei County to Hedong, and now the armies of all walks of life are still on the way.

Yuan Xi went to Hao Zhao to take a look.

Tell him something.

The main thing is to tell him that if he can't hold Hedong, he won't defend it, and retreat to Hexi and Wei County, but he really can't retreat to Bingzhou. There is no need to die for Cao Ren and die on the battlefield. That's not what smart people should do.
