Under the city of Xingyang, the war was raging, and after the Cao army, which was almost unblocked, came to the city wall, it was finally hit by the defenders' boulders, even if the sword and shield hands could not carry the stones and fell from the sky, and there were countless casualties for a while.

Zhang Lie was in the array, watching the sword and shield hands around him fall in a pool of blood one by one in order to protect himself, his eyes were blood-red in an instant, and he roared again and again, commanding the army to assemble the city gate, constantly hitting the city gate with giant trees, and every time he hit, it was like an earthquake shaking a mountain.

Even so, the gate of Xingyang City was still firmly closed, as if it had not been touched, which made Zhang Lie feel a little lost, and if it continued like this, the loss would be more than doubled.

At this moment, the falling rocks suddenly stopped falling from the city gates, and even the arrows stopped shooting down.

Seeing this scene, even the soldiers attacking the city gate stopped, not understanding what was happening at all, could it be that the stones and arrows of the Xingyang defenders were gone?

When everyone looked up, they saw a man dressed in white in the middle of the city wall, looking down at the city, while the rest of the defenders were holding stones or drawing bows and stringing them, but they did not continue to move.

Zhang Lie looked at the man in white with a puzzled face, although he knew that he should be the city guard here, but he didn't understand at all, what was the intention of this move, did he want to surrender? It's simply not possible.

Just when Zhang Lie was confused, the man in white on the city wall shouted softly and said, "Cao Jun is doing this, but is it for Mo Shuyan? ”

"So what?" Zhang Lie replied sharply.

Now that the purpose has been discovered, Zhang Lie doesn't want to prevaricate in the past, if the other party catches Mo Shuyan, maybe he can pay the price to get Mo Shuyan back.

The man in white on the city wall is Lin Zhou, who rushed back from Chang'an, and now he rules Xingyang, and he didn't catch Mo Shuyan in the first place, how could Lin Zhou let his subordinates be damaged for no reason? In case the city gate is broken, it is estimated that most of these soldiers and horses will be lost.

Therefore, Lin Zhou wanted to convey Zhige's suggestion through Zhang Lie.

"Mo Shuyan has escaped from Chang'an, there is no need to fight for this at all, even if your Cao army takes Xingyang with many generals, can you still defend Xingyang if you lose nearly half of your soldiers and horses?" Lin Zhou shouted with solemn eyes.

Hearing this, even if Zhang Lie didn't want to admit it, he had to say that what Lin Zhou said was reasonable, hearing that Mo Shuyan had escaped from Chang'an, Zhang Lie was overjoyed in his heart, if he really said so, this war was completely unnecessary.

But how dare Zhang Lie easily believe Lin Zhou's statement? In case it is a plan to retreat the army, when Xingyang asks Chang'an for help, it will become impossible to attack Xingyang again.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lie asked in a deep voice: "Where is Mo Shuyan now?" ”

Hearing this, Lin Zhou replied without hesitation: "If I know where Mo Shuyan is, can I still let him escape?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Lie immediately believed seven or eight points, glanced at Xiahoudun and Cao Hong, and after getting a positive look, Zhang Lie made a decision with a big hand, and issued an order to withdraw the army.

Immediately, the Cao army guarded against the defenders in Xingyang, retreated, and took away the dead and wounded Cao army beside him.

Although it was a retreat, Cao's army was still neat and orderly, there was no chaos, and after slowly retreating from the range of the archers of the Xingyang defenders, the army suddenly accelerated, and soon retreated not far from Cao Cao.

Seeing this, Cao Cao, who was full of anger, could only withdraw his troops and retreat to the camped camp several miles away.
