Chapter 1159: Surround Luoyang
Two days later, Zhang Liao and the others arrived at a place dozens of miles away from Luoyang.
This can be attacked at any time, which can be said to be very dangerous.
Cao Cao was very worried, and convened his subordinates again.
At this time, Cao Cao's face was very bad, and he was still wrapped in a white cloth with medicine on his head.
Cao Cao had a terrible headache, but he couldn't ignore it, it was too big.
"Tiger Prison Pass, Mengjindu, there is danger at any time, what do you think." Cao Cao said weakly.
A few of the strategists have the ability to reach the sky, but now, they have little power to change all this.
Cheng Yu suggested: "My lord, it is better to withdraw the army to Luoyang, with the defense of Luoyang, it will be difficult for Datang to enter." ”
It was difficult for them to withdraw that there were at least three hundred thousand troops in the city.
With 300,000 troops, the defense is naturally very solid.
But there is only one lonely city left, and how long can it last.
At this time, they no longer have much military morale.
Thousands of families from Chang'an migrated over, and they were already frightened.
At this time, they suddenly found that Zhang Yu was so cute.
Zhang Yu can't kill people, but he just loses seventy percent of his property.
Of course, life matters.
Therefore, some families already have the psychology of surrender, and they may have secretly prepared to start an incident, at least they will not support Cao Cao very much.
It would be a fool to give Cao Cao any more money, which is obviously impossible to win.
There is no chance of winning.
Cao Cao coughed a few times and said, "Okay, just withdraw the army of Meng Jin and the Tiger Prison." ”
Cao Cao drank a few sips of water to make himself feel better, and then said: "I know that Zhang Yu's troops are unstoppable, Wancheng has failed, and Ang'er doesn't know what the situation is, but I am not reconciled, and after working hard for half a lifetime, everything has come to naught." ”
Cao Cao is a hero, so he is naturally very unwilling.
But what can be done if you are not reconciled?
Several strategists can see the situation in front of them, and if they want to save it, there is no reliable way.
Without external forces, it is difficult to change the current situation.
But now they have no external forces to borrow, unless they let the peoples of the steppe invade.
But they can't do it.
Contacting foreign enemies, they can't pass this level psychologically, not to mention that it may not be useful.
Cao Cao ordered the withdrawal of the troops of Tiger Prison Pass and Meng Jindu.
At this point, it is even more dangerous not to withdraw.
In these two places, it is not very insured, and the Yellow River natural insurance is no longer a natural insurance.
The army of the Tang Dynasty is already about to surround Luoyang, and once it is killed, the army outside will definitely surrender soon.
After Cao Cao gave the order, he asked the soldiers to carry him to rest.
If he doesn't rest, he'll faint.
......
Speaking of Zhang Xiu and Cao Ang, they came out of Wancheng, and no one pursued them at first, but after they walked for two days, they found that the army of the Tang Dynasty had let the small army occupy some dangerous places.
For example, hundreds of people occupy a hill, or hundreds of people occupy the corner of a large road.
There are thousands of them, and of course they can kill them, but in some places it takes a long time.
These people occupy these places not without defense.
Several people went around several places in a row.
If you don't take a detour, you can't do it, and if you don't take a detour, you will kill it.
"Eldest prince, there are more and more deserters in us, and if we go on like this, I'm afraid there won't be many people in Luoyang."
Only three days after he came out, Zhang Xiu found that more than 1,000 people had escaped.
Cao Ang knew it in his heart, but he couldn't do anything.
Doing too much at this time can make it easier for the army to break up.
"We will not meet the enemy along the way, go back as soon as possible, there may be an ambush ahead, we will try to rush at night."
Cao Ang and the others walked for three days, avoiding some major roads, but they were still relatively dangerous.
In the next few days, Cao Ang and his team marched at night, and then rested during the day, taking as many small paths as possible, and there were several thrilling adventures along the way.
At this time, there were only more than 2,000 people with him.
More than 2,000 people were relatively die-hard, and no one fled for half a day.
More than 2,000 people, there are no dangers along the way.
It was pursued by the Tang army, but there was no fighting.
What Cao Ang didn't know was that this was actually arranged by Zhao Yun, he just drove Cao Ang and them away, and drove them away from the place where he deviated from his own grain route.
Zhang Yu asked Cao Ang to return to Luoyang for a purpose, so Zhao Yun didn't chase and kill him, otherwise Cao Ang and they wouldn't stay until now.
Zhao Yun began to follow Cao Ang and them, as long as they did not attack their own grain routes, they would not attack.
However, with more than 2,000 of them, they do not pose much of a threat to the back road.
There were guards who transported the grain and grass, and at the same time, they did not bring it all in one batch.
It was not a big deal for them to cut off one or two batches of grain and grass.
Cao Ang and the others slowly approached Luoyang, but the situation in Luoyang changed dramatically again.
Cao Cao sent people to withdraw the people of Tiger Prison Pass and Mengjindu and defend Luoyang.
Luoyang, the famous ancient capital.
At this time, there were hundreds of thousands of troops inside, and hundreds of thousands of troops outside.
Zhang Liao sent troops to directly surround Luoyang, and at the same time, Gao Shun and Zhou Yu also went outside Luoyang.
Hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded Luoyang.
Zhang Liaosheng account.
"Generals, there is not much suspense in the overall situation now, I will wait here for the arrival of the lord, persuade him to surrender first, and then slowly figure it out."
Zhang Liao did not begin to storm Luoyang for the sake of merit.
After all, this Luoyang City is the former national capital, and it is very strong, and if it can be defeated, the loss must be great.
Zhang Liao began to assign tasks.
Surrounded by people on all sides, Zhang Liao chose the echelon to build a camp.
One was built three miles away, one was built five miles away, and the main force was built ten miles away.
A total of more than half a million troops surrounded Luoyang City.
As usual, the Tang army began to take over the county seats around Luoyang.
Part of Zhou Yu's army was at Mengjindu, and part of it was directly docked on the other side of the Yellow River, and did not rush into the battlefield.
With him and without him, as long as he breaks the tiger prison, he does not need to respond in the upper reaches of the Yellow River.
And Tai Shici went to Chang'an with 50,000 soldiers and horses.
This Chang'an also has to defend and attack.
At this time, Ma Chao attacked Chang'an, although he did not carry out a fierce attack, but he kept swimming and did not leave.
The situation in the whole world is so clear that it can be seen without analysis.
Zhang Yu also started to act, and he took Ma Yunlu to Luoyang.
In a few days, Zhang Yu did a good job of being a faint monarch, mixing with Ma Yunlu all day long, what king did not come to court early, Zhang Yu did not deal with anything for several days, all of them were used to mess with Ma Yunlu.
He doesn't want to deal with too many things, so he can leave it to his subordinates as much as possible.
"Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, you are one of the heroes of the ages, I don't know what choice you will make this time."
The closer Zhang Yu got to Luoyang, he kept thinking about Cao Cao's final fate.
Zhang Yu was very reluctant to kill Cao Cao, but he had already claimed the title of emperor and must be killed.
For example, he doesn't want to kill Sun Ce, but Sun Ce is also the emperor, so he must die.
But it was Cao Ang who made him not make up his mind.
Sun Ce doesn't have a prince, so it's over if he kills him, and his younger brother Sun Quan is not the Sun Quan in history and has no influence.
