Zhao Yun and Xu Huang each led 3,000 men and horses and went directly to Xiao Guan.

According to Guo Jia's meaning, this battle can determine Xiao Pass.

Although Zhao Yun felt a little unreliable in his heart, Zhao Yun believed in Guo Jia, and he still believed in Guo Jia's ability.

At night, there is a bit of starlight, but I still can't see clearly.

When the army came to the city of Xiao Guan, Zhao Yun found that Xiao Guan at this moment was above the city.

It turned out that a lot of torches were lit to illuminate the city through, not only that, but the banner at the head of the city was strictly ordered, and there were many soldiers waiting for the city.

"Zilong, what should we do, this posture, I'm afraid it's a trick."

Xu Huang saw that his army had been discovered, and immediately looked at Zhao Yun and asked.

"My lord has been waiting here for a long time."

At this time, before Zhao Yun could speak, someone in the city was already speaking towards the city, as if he had specially said it to Xu Huang.

The implication was as if telling Xu Huang that you were right, you were indeed tricked.

Zhao Yun glanced at the city tower, and then looked at Xu Huang again, "The military order is like a mountain, I believe in the military division." ”

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he directly ordered the siege of the city, and did not say much other nonsense, nor did he say anything more to answer.

Now at this time, strength is the best answer, as long as Xiao Pass is overcome, then everything is the best answer.

"Siege." Xu Huang also spoke immediately after listening to Zhao Yun's words.

Since Zhao Yun said this, of course he has nothing to say, he was just cautious before.

With an order, the army directly began to attack.

"It's... What can we do about this, we don't have many people here now, we can't hold it. ”

Seeing Zhao Yun and Xu Huang leading the army out of the city, he immediately looked at the person who had just replied and spoke.

"It's okay, we have to believe the lord, the lord said, as long as we hold on for half an hour, it's enough."

The man panicked, too, but soon he forced himself to compose himself and speak.

"Yes, half an hour, that's half an hour, don't be stunned, resist the enemy."

Immediately, the soldiers at the head of the city also began to counterattack, and the rain of arrows and thunder stones also continued to move towards Zhao Yun's army.

The night was hazy, only a few brightnesses, but a group of people could be vaguely seen retreating.

However, this team was already some distance away from Xiao Guan at this time.

These people were none other than Cao Cao's army, which had already begun to retreat at night.

"Lord, now we are some distance away from Xiao Pass, and now if the Han army attacks, I am afraid that the soldiers in the city will not be able to hold it for long."

Li Dian subconsciously looked at Xiao Guan's direction and said, Xiao Guan was no longer visible at this time.

"We've already retreated, and we've already given up on Xiao Guan," Cao Cao glanced at Li Dian and said.

Of course, Cao Cao understood what Li Dian was thinking, and when he left, he and the soldiers guarding Xiao Pass only needed to hold on for half an hour.

In fact, this half an hour is just a way to squeeze them to the extreme and make them delay time.

"Man Cheng, you have to know that this is war, there is a give-and-take, I don't think I need to talk about this truth."

Cao Cao glanced at Li Dian and said, at this time, the army must be sacrificed to be able to retreat.

If you can't retreat, then you will miss the opportunity to attack Yuzhou.

As for Liu Wei, Cao Cao believes that as long as it is not until the last moment, everything is still unknown.

Therefore, the first battle of Yuzhou is not only a war to seize Yuzhou, but also a big battle in the real sense between himself and Liu Wei.

At that time, the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou are naturally not comparable to the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou today.

Li Dian didn't answer, he naturally understood this truth, in fact, he had understood it from the very beginning.

It's just that this time it was the soldiers he had led before who stayed in Xiao Guan to guard the city, so he was still a little unbearable in his heart.

Li Dian also knew that Cao Cao could not be blamed for this matter, if he did not retreat, and held Xiao Pass in the back, there would be more dead and wounded.

"Hurry up and hurry, after you are happy to enter the palace, if the Han army chases after you, it will be defeated and retreated."

Cao Cao didn't continue to say anything after he finished speaking, and his own mood was naturally uncomfortable.

In fact, he had expected this day a long time ago, and when Tiefutu was defeated, he knew that it was only a matter of time before he withdrew from Xuzhou.

originally thought that he occupied Xiao Pass and could use Xiao Pass to consume Liu Wei's soldiers and horses, but Guo Jia saw through his intentions.

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh, if he had successfully recruited Guo Jia at the beginning, then now it may be another result.

But it doesn't make sense to think about it anymore.

Xiao Guan left only 2,000 soldiers, and many of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, they tried their best, but they still didn't last for half an hour after all.

That is, in three quarters of an hour, Xiao Pass had already been breached, and Zhao Yun and Xu Huang led the army into Xiao Pass.

When they entered Xiao Pass and saw only those soldiers at the head of the city, they knew that what Guo Jia said was not wrong.

However, Zhao Yun and Xu Huang were also a little moved, a large part of these people were old, weak, sick and disabled, but they still fought to the last moment.

They didn't surrender timidly, and neither Zhao Yun nor Xu Huang knew how long they needed to hold out.

Maybe they just have to hold on until the last moment, and it has nothing to do with time, and fight until the last moment.

"Bury their bodies." Zhao Yun was silent for a while before speaking.

Disposing of their corpses is not only a sign of respect for them, but it is also a matter of respect, because if they are not disposed of, it will stink in the summer, causing plague and disease.

However, this kind of thing, generally speaking, does not need to be ordered, let alone let Zhao Yun speak.

So this time Zhao Yun spoke, that was to express a kind of respect for those soldiers.

After Xiao Guan took it, Liu Wei soon got the news.

Now it's the second half of the night, but Liu Wei doesn't dare to sleep, because he can't sleep, and he is also waiting for the result.

"Your Majesty, the news has come, Xiao Guan has been taken, and Cao Cao has already retreated, leaving only two thousand people to defend the city."

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, "Cao Cao retreated?" ”

If it was only two thousand people, then Zhao Yun and Xu Huang would naturally not be a problem if they led the troops to attack Xiao Guan.

Liu Wei looked at Guo Jia on the side and saw that Guo Jia had no surprises.

"Fengxiao, how did you calculate that this Cao Cao will withdraw from Xiao Guan today?"

Liu Wei was really curious this time, he originally thought that Cao Cao would die in Xiao Guan this time.

"There are not many people left in Cao Cao's army, and it is not good for him to defend Xiao Pass alone."

"Cao Cao's army was reluctant to retreat before, but it just wanted to consume our soldiers and horses."

"Now that we are not in a hurry to attack, the Cao army will naturally not be able to succeed, and the Cao army's grain and grass supply will not be able to keep up after a long time."

Guo Jia looked at Liu Wei and said, of course, these are not the most important.

"But these are not the most important, the most important point is that Sima Yi's army has arrived in Yuzhou and is ready to attack at any time."

"The day has finally come." After hearing this, Liu Wei immediately spoke.

At the beginning, Cao Cao's purpose was in Yuzhou, and now he has finally reached the most critical step.

Cao Cao attacked the states and counties on a large scale, but he suffered a lot of losses and was tired of coping.

But soon Cao Cao was puzzled again, "Why doesn't Cao Cao continue to hold us back, wouldn't this give Sima Yi a better chance?" ”

Liu Wei looked at Guo Jia and asked.

"Because it doesn't make sense anymore." Guo Jia said lightly.

If he was Cao Cao, it would be impossible to continue to stay in Xuzhou at this time.

"Your Majesty, we should also be ready to lead the army to Yuzhou."

Guo Jia looked at Liu Wei and said, his expression became serious.
