The forty-third round of the withdrawal of troops, the real withdrawal of troops
Hit a stick to give a sweet date, Wei Rui played very well with this hand. Although Han Sui and Yan Xing were a little skeptical, they didn't dare to make a mistake. Wei Rui sent his men into Han Sui's camp, and then asked Yan Xing to write back to Cao Cao, saying that now that Zhang Yi's subordinates knew about the letter, he would find an opportunity to contact Cao Cao again.
After the letter was written, Yan Xing asked people to secretly send the letter out, and after Cao Cao received the letter, he consulted with Jia Xu.
Jia Xu said: "Although it is possible at this time, the lord still should not have too much hope. ”
Cao Cao asked, "Why did Wen He say that?" ”
Jia Xu said: "Yan Xing is a square person, if he wants to lead people to surrender, he will definitely bring troops directly to surrender, and he will not have so many thoughts." I am afraid this is just a ploy of the enemy. ”
Cao Cao nodded, "Anyway, let's wait for a while!" ”
Jia Xu didn't say anything anymore, anyway, there was no way to pass through the street pavilion for the time being, and it didn't matter if he waited for a while, otherwise he would have waited.
After waiting for more than half a month, a Pegasus sent a few letters from Wancheng, and after Wei Rui got the letters, he called Han Sui, Yan Xing and others over and handed them the letters. When Han Sui and Yan Xing saw the letter, they wept with joy, it was a letter sent by their family in Xuchang. After being excited, they immediately expressed their gratitude to Wei Rui, and Yan Xing was even more grateful and said to Wei Rui: "The grace of saving my father must be repaid, General Wei has been sent, and he must be carried out!" ”
Wei Rui said with a smile: "There is really something that Yan Ming needs to do. ”
"I don't know what?" Yan Xing asked.
"Please also ask Yanming to write to Cao Cao, and ask him to attack the camp in three days, and you will respond to it."
After Yan Xing heard this, he immediately knew Wei Rui's thoughts, he wanted to use a trick to lure Cao Cao. Yan Xing wrote a letter according to Wei Rui's statement and sent someone to send it to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao also received a report from Xuchang, saying that ten days ago, the families of Han Sui, Yan Xing and others in Xuchang were rescued. Cao Cao was discussing this issue with Jia Xu, and there was a letter from Yan Xing sent by the soldiers. Cao Cao opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile at Jia Xu: "Sure enough, Wen He said it, Yan Xing wants to cooperate with me inside and outside at this time, do they treat me as a fool?" ”
Jia Xu said with a smile: "They probably think that the lord didn't receive the news just now!" ”
The two laughed for a while, and then Cao Cao said with some sadness: "Although we have seen through the enemy's strategy, can we break through the street pavilion?" During this time, the enemy's defenses have become tighter, and there is no chance at all. With such empty food consumption, can Wenhe have a strategy to retreat from the enemy? ”
Jia Xu thought for a while and said to Cao Cao: "The lord can advance by retreating, he can pretend to withdraw his troops, and then lure the enemy to come and pursue, and then use cavalry to insert the enemy's rear from both sides, cut off his rear road, or break the enemy." ”
Cao Cao asked, "What if the enemy army doesn't chase after him?" ”
"It's good to go back to Chang'an directly!" Jia Xu said: "Now the weather is freezing, and many soldiers have frostbite, if we wait for some time, I am afraid that we will not need the enemy to attack, and we will suffer heavy losses." ”
Cao Cao thought for a long time, "That's the only way to go." ”
Wei Rui waited for two days, but he didn't get a reply from Cao Cao, and he didn't know if Cao Cao would come back to attack. At this moment, the scout suddenly came to report that Cao Cao had withdrawn!
Wei Rui personally went out to watch and found that Cao Jun was really retreating. He waited until Cao Cao completely withdrew before leading people into Cao Cao's camp to check the traces on the camp.
Han Sui, Yan Xing, Yan Yan, Wang Ping and others also came over, Yan Xing had always wanted to show because his father was saved, so he said to Wei Rui: "General Wei, Cao Cao must be in a hurry to withdraw his troops, and we can lead our troops to pursue." ”
Wei Rui looked at the traces on the ground and said, "It's better to be cautious at this time, Cao Cao withdraws his troops, and someone will inevitably break off." When Cao Cao withdrew his troops in Wancheng, he ambushed and defeated Zhang Xiu. Now that he had withdrawn his troops without any losses, there must have been some stratagem in it. And his camp was very neat, not like a hasty retreat. Moreover, there was only a small amount of medicine residue in the camp, indicating that there was no outbreak of large-scale injuries and diseases. Then Cao Cao's withdrawal of troops must be a strategy. ”
Han Sui and Yan Xing both looked at Wei Rui in shock, they didn't expect Yan Xing to have such a keen gaze, and in just a quarter of an hour, he would find so many problems.
Wei Rui squatted on the ground, picked up the medicine residue and looked at it, "This is a medicine for frostbite, and it is normal to use this medicine in winter." ”
Throwing the medicine residue on the ground and clapping his hands, Wei Rui said to everyone: "Hold the camp tightly and send more scouts to prevent Cao Cao from returning again." ”
As soon as Wei Ruijun gave the order, Yan Yan, Wang Ping and others immediately took people to give orders. Wei Rui invited Han Sui, Yan Xing and the others to his tent to calm their emotions, Wei Rui's order just now was too harsh, and he didn't take them into account at all.
Wei Rui appeased Han Sui, Yan Xing and others without mentioning it, and only said that Cao Cao had retreated to Wangxian.
After waiting for five days, he didn't see the defenders of the street pavilion coming to pursue, so Cao Cao said to Jia Xu in disappointment: "It seems that the enemy will not chase after him." ”
Cao Cao had no choice, there was no flaw in the street pavilion, and he could only retreat. Cao Cao led the army back to Chang'an, and after arriving in Chang'an, Zhang knew that he had not completely defeated the Xiliang army, so he asked Cao Cao to send troops to guard Guanzhong.
Cao Cao also just got Guanzhong and didn't want to lose it again. So he let Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He garrison in Chang'an, leaving 30,000 troops, and he and Xu Huang returned to Xuchang with other troops.
Zhang Yi also met the people of Liangzhou.
