Gao Rou attacked the Jing Cheng Pass, and it was a success, but the result was a failure, and finally let the enemy's two generals rush out of the Jing Cheng Road with thousands of light soldiers, rushing into their already exhausted team like a wolf and a tiger, after the big killing, Gao Rou had to give up the idea of continuing to fight, with the remnants of the defeated generals, retreated to the Jing Cheng Pass, with the dangerous pass, ready to defend strictly.

In this battle, more than 10,000 of his own horses were killed and wounded 4,000 when attacking the cliff, and in the battle of the enemy's sudden rush, he lost 2,000, so that he had less than 5,000 soldiers in his hands.

However, Gao Rou was full of confidence that he still had 5,000 soldiers in his hands and could hold the Jingcheng Pass and block the enemy's attack. After all, the terrain of Jingcheng Pass is too dangerous, the city is too strong, and there is really a momentum that is difficult to control the pass, here, as long as their defenders do not surrender, even if there are 100,000 troops on the opposite side, they are absolutely powerless against themselves.

Standing on the pass, holding on to the battlements of the city wall and looking down, the enemy's army can be seen at a glance.

The enemy only came with 5,000 light infantry, and he didn't have time to carry any siege equipment, and he didn't even bring the tent for camping.

This situation made the nervous Gao Rou breathe a sigh of relief. The enemy has no siege equipment, not even a ladder, and it is impossible for them to attack now, so they can give themselves these soldiers who have been tired from fighting for a long time a chance to reorganize and rest.

Turned around and ordered a personal soldier: "You now immediately send an order to the back, kill pigs and sheep, reward the three armies, let everyone recover their strength and morale, and wait for the upcoming siege battle." ”

When the morale is depressed after a long battle, it is very necessary to give the soldiers a good meal and drink.

With the issuance of this general order, cheers in the city rose one after another, and the originally depressed and low morale was restored again.

Looking at the soldiers who had regained their morale, Gao Rou arranged for a group of people to immediately go up to the city to monitor the enemy, and then returned to his mansion with peace of mind and began to deal with the mountains of official documents.

Military newspapers everywhere are piled up with book cases, and all military newspapers are bad news. In the north, 20,000 horses of Zhang Yan and Pan Feng of Youzhou, headed by Zhang Yan, have crossed the Great Wall and entered Yanmen County out of Dai County, and they are invincible everywhere they go, and the defenders around the country did not have the strong resistance they imagined, but chose to surrender one after another.

And those places that are still under the control of their own forces, the military spirit is still fluctuating, the most important thing is that the local people are ready to move, they collude with each other, pick up farm tools and sticks, and form gangs one after another to fight against the officials who go down to collect autumn grain and taxes, and they have made a sound, ready to welcome the entry of the Youzhou army.

"The people's hearts have been dispersed, the morale of the military and the officials has also been chaotic, and the state has become out of control, even if the lord can reconcile with Cao Cao and bring back the army that confronted Cao Cao, it will be difficult to save the building." Gao Rou shook her head in pain.

At this time, I saw an emergency military report, and when I opened it, it was my brother Gao Gan, with 10,000 soldiers, accompanied by Mr. Fuzhi, who returned to the state to help.

Seeing only 10,000 soldiers, Gao Rou was even more miserable, at the beginning of the first-line war in Renqiu, his own side had no worries, and finally dispatched no less than 400,000 horses, famous generals, but in the face of the enemy Lu Peng, but only 100,000 horses, and finally lost 200,000 horses, defeated and returned, not only lost the four counties of Youzhou that were originally occupied, but also lost Renqiu in Bohai, Qingzhou.

Now the Youzhou army, which has been recuperating for two years, has a total of 100,000 horses, and the whole army is pressed to the state where the strength is empty, the military spirit is floating, and the people's hearts are deviating.

Looking at the arrangement of the brother below, I can only shake my head and smile bitterly, Yanmen County is lost, the Great Wall Pass no longer exists, I know, Zhao Yun's 50,000 cavalry will definitely detour to the north and rush into the Taiyuan Plain. The isolated defenders trapped in various passes have become isolated and helpless dead children, and this will continue to weaken the already insufficient forces, which is absolutely undesirable.

So, Gao Rou repaired the book to his brother overnight, and put forward his own suggestions - he tried his best to defend the Jingcheng Pass, blocking the entry of the Youzhou army in front of him, begging his brother to use the time when he could still hold on, to empty all the materials in Bingzhou, and use all the troops in his hands to drive all the people to Yizhou - the core idea is to give up the annexation of the state, protect Yizhou to the death, in order to restore self-cultivation, and finally use Yizhou as the basis to occupy Liangzhou in the west, which is in civil strife, Get the supply of the war horse again, and then turn over and kill back, and fight with Lu Peng.

Gao Rou is worthy of being a famous minister in later generations, and he can be the first person in the five generations of Cao Wei, and this strategy is definitely the most correct at this time.

But the most correct strategy is not necessarily the most realistic and acceptable to everyone.

First of all, Yuan Shao couldn't accept it.

The vast space that originally had three and a half states can be described as strong and strong, and was constantly encroached and oppressed by Lu Peng, and in the end there were only two states left.

Gao Rou's consideration in attacking Liangzhou to regain the supply of war horses was to avoid the real and the virtual, avoid fighting against the strong Lu Peng, and attack the weak Liangzhou.

At this time in Liangzhou, Ma Teng and his former brothers began to crack due to the problems of their subordinates, and it was the time to sow discord, using their internal contradictions to take Liangzhou, which was fundamental.

But giving up what is in hand, taking what is not in hand, and putting it in whoever is there is an unacceptable one, this is definitely a suspicion of taking off his pants and farting, therefore, Yuan Shao will never agree.

Gao Gan will not accept this proposal, the reason is that he has been doing Bingzhou for many years, and he has long regarded Bingzhou as his own industry, and once he gives up, he will return to the position of giving his uncle a hand, and he is used to being a leader, and then being a follower audience, which he can't accept under any circumstances.

Rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, this is the common mentality of all people who have obtained the right.

Until the end, never give up the existing rights, this is the principle that all people adhere to in their hearts.

Gao Rou cried blood and offered a plan, and after writing overnight, he put down his pen and was exhausted, this strategy was even more tiring than his personal battle on the battlefield.

He put down the pen weakly, did not take off his clothes, and fell asleep on the table.

was sleeping soundly, when suddenly there was a golden drum shouting in his ears and the sound of killing rose to the sky, Gao Rou suddenly woke up, raised his head suddenly, and there was already a fire outside the door.
