Yecheng fell into the hands of Li Jing, and the hundreds of thousands of stone grain in the city became Li Jing's capital against the Hebei army.

Zhang Jaw confronted Chang Yuchun in the south of Wei County for a day, and he was about to eliminate Chang Yuchun, but he suddenly received news that Yecheng had fallen! Zhang Jaw was very anxious and led all the troops back to help.

Chang Yuchun survived and also left the station and rushed to Yecheng to meet Li Jing.

Hahaha....

In Yecheng's assassination mansion, Li Jing and Chang Yuchun couldn't close their mouths together.

General, we have really captured Yecheng. Often meet the spring road.

Yes, it's thanks to Zhang Nan. Li Jing said.

Who is Zhang Nan?

An enemy general, he defected and helped us deceive the gates of Yecheng. Without him, I would not have been able to break through the city in an instant, even if I had three times as many troops and large equipment.

Hmph, a general.... Chang Yuchun shook his head disdainfully.

Li Jing frowned and said: Zhang Nan helped our big gang. We can't cross the river and tear down the bridge, let alone have this kind of attitude. In front of him, be polite.

Be.

Often meet the spring response.

Report.... The soldier is coming: Jaw is challenging outside the city.

Now I know the challenge, it's too late. Li Jing laughed a few times, waved his hand and said: Go and order the soldiers who defend the city to guard the city tower well. No one is allowed to go to war without my orders.

Promise.

The soldier left.

Chang Yuchun said: General, now that Yecheng has been conquered by us, with our 60,000 troops, there is no problem in defending Yecheng. It's just that Xu Da is still in Huguan, and he doesn't have many troops in his hands. It's worrying.

Huguan is dangerous, he has tens of thousands of troops in hand, Gao Ran Juyi can't help him.

Chang Yuchun Dao: But he has no food...

Well, that's a problem. Li Jing gathered his mind and thought about countermeasures.

If you send troops to deal with Xu Da, let him come to Yecheng to garrison. It will be besieged by the open-jawed and high-looking Juyi. If you don't know how to send out the people and Xu Da's tens of thousands of troops, they all have to be in danger...

Li Jing shook his head and said: We can't act rashly. Yecheng is the capital of Hebei, and the stakes are significant. This will make the civil and military warriors of Hebei all look to us, and it will be conducive to occupying the whole of Hebei in the future.

That Xu Da....

Xu Da has rich combat experience, and there is no problem in guarding Huguan. It's just that there is not much food, and it is difficult to maintain. We're going to send him some food.

From Yecheng to Huguan, gather for more than 300 miles. It is necessary to transport the grain of Yecheng through the enemy territory to Huguan, which is heavily surrounded. When you think about it, it's harder than climbing to the sky.

If it can't be done, then Xu Da's troops, short of soldiers and food, also held out for a long time, it is very likely ....

But.

In order to defend Yecheng.

For Yecheng's hundreds of thousands of stone grain.

In order to obtain a good strategic position, it will be possible to occupy Hebei more quickly in the future.

Li Jing will not send troops to support Huguan!

The 60,000 troops of Yecheng must be nailed to the city to the death and fight to the death with the open jaws of the besieging city.

It's just a pity that we have too few troops. If there are 200,000 troops, why not be afraid of opening your jaw and looking high, alas.... Often meet the spring road.

We came to Hebei not to conquer the city, but to hold off the 400,000 troops in Hebei. It's good that we've survived the enemy's encirclement.

Li Jing comforted: General Chang. I believe that it will not be long before the war in the Central Plains will end. At that time, my million-strong generals will cross the Yellow River, open their jaws and others, will they still be able to compete with us?

It's...

Chang Yuchun does not doubt this.

With Lu Bu's strength, sooner or later he will destroy Cao Cao.

................

Yecheng fell.

Hebei shook.

Zhang Jaw transferred siege equipment from Julu County, and transferred the soldiers and horses of Gao Ran and Ju Yi, a full 250,000 troops, drained the water of Yecheng siege, and prepared to storm Yecheng.

Knock knock...

The vanguard of forty or fifty thousand launched a fierce attack.

Li Jing ordered to defend it!

More than half of the 60,000 troops in the city went to the city, led by Li Jing and Chang Yuchun personally, and fought fiercely with the enemy besieging the city.

At this time.

A great battle in Kannai also began.

This big war is likely to decide where the world belongs!

After Xu Huang's tens of thousands of troops were wiped out, Cao Cao had only 170,000 troops in the area from Longshan to Xiaopingjin. was entangled with Bai Qi before, and was killed 20,000, leaving about 150,000.

Later, he was pinned down by Xiang Yu Jiaxu's 40,000 cavalry and 10,000 chariots, and he couldn't move.

For several days, the two armies faced off.

From time to time, each has its own wins and losses.

But there were no major battles.

this day.

Cao Cao received several messages.

First, Xu Huang's troops were wiped out.

The second is that the more than 200,000 troops of Bai Qi and Qin Qiong, divided into east and west, surrounded them. If they wait for two more days and let them join Xiang Yu, they will block the road and it will be difficult to break through.

Cao Cao wanted to abandon the car to protect the commander and lead a small number of troops to break through.

But.

Just as he was about to act, he received another message. Cao Zhang, Li Dian, Le Jin, etc., abandoned Luoyang and led an army of 300,000 to help. This made Cao Cao immediately give up his intention to escape.

He had some confidence again and wanted to fight Lu Bu in a decisive battle.

In the tent.

Cao Cao recruited the civil and military officers under his command.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a time of life and death, and we must not hesitate in the slightest. I decided..... Just in Luoyang, a decisive battle with Lu Bu! Cao Cao glanced at everyone and said, "Do you have faith?"

No one replied to Cao Cao's words...

Is there confidence? Cao Cao raised his voice.

Yes.... The crowd replied weakly.

King Wei.

Sima Yi said: If the King of Wei wants to fight a decisive battle with Lu Bu, he must prepare early. Taking advantage of the fact that the third prince had not yet come, he immediately broke through to the east. Seek high ground and build strong camps and fortifications. Turn the thirty-mile mountains on the flank of Longshan, as well as Longshan, into a barrier. Make the enemy pay a price for every step forward. Wait until the enemy is exhausted, and then fight him.

Longshan flanks?

Cao Cao glared at the others in the tent, then turned around and looked at the map behind him.

Judging from the map, on the flank of Longshan, there is indeed a group of mountains. Between the mountains, there is a distance of one or two miles. Some time ago, Xu Huang held on to it and blocked Qin Qiong's army of more than 200,000 troops.

Do you want me to follow Qin Qiong's old path? If the enemy blocks the mountain pass, it is only necessary to besiege it without attacking it. We were cut off from food and grass, and we died without a fight. This is a taboo for soldiers! Cao Cao was not stupid, and he saw the loopholes in Sima Yi's strategy at a glance.

Sima Yi sighed and said, "King Wei, Xiang Yu Jia Xu's 40,000 iron cavalry and 10,000 chariots are definitely not something we can resist. If there is a real battle, do you have the confidence to win?

Cao Cao: ....

Since you don't have the confidence to win, why not retreat to Longshan and wait for changes? Sima Yi slowly stood up, glanced at the demoralized generals in the tent, and said: Besides, Longshan is not a desperate situation. Along the outskirts of the mountains, after repairing the road, you can still reach the Tiger Pass....

This is the most conservative method of warfare at present.

If King Wei wants to fight a decisive battle immediately, it is not impossible. It's just that there is a huge disparity in strength, and our army has no danger to rely on and cannot win against Xiang Yu. In the face of hundreds of thousands of strong enemies, once ..... Where should the King of Wei retreat?
