Chapter 365: Everybody Go Home
In Chang'an City, y8uncsu vertex is updated the fastest
Jing Zhao Yin was silent. Now he is already an empty official. In this Jingzhao land, except for Chang'an City, other places are no longer under his control. Even Chang'an has long been under full military control, and the most he can do is to go outside to urge the people in the city to quickly dedicate the materials at home to help the defenders.
After defending Chang'an City for more than ten days, Fei Yao is no longer silent now, anyway, the enemy is guarding the south and west of the city, and he has not launched an attack until now, so he just shouts outside every day. He urged the troops to be on strict guard every day, but now he was secretly laughed at by the soldiers for being cowardly.
Guo Huai believes that Cao Pi's decision is correct and wise. Because although the enemy is still only surrounded on two sides, and does not prevent the messengers in the city from communicating with Sima Yi who is far away in Pubanjin, if they wait a little longer, they will really attack the city.
Because he found that outside the city now, in addition to the Shu army, there are also many officials in Guanzhong, who are constantly gathering in Chang'an. One by one, they carried hoes on their shoulders and sickles at their waists, and came out of the city in groups, and the frames seemed to come to them to settle accounts.
It turned out that the people in this pass hoped that they would hurry back to the Central Plains, and they were all vying to show loyalty to Liu Bei. In that case, no matter how much food and materials there are in Chang'an City, it will not be able to consume the material production of the entire region. In this way, even if it is drained, it is the defenders of the city who are consumed first, not the enemy troops who come from afar outside the city.
When Xiahou Ba heard the will, he realized that there was no longer any hope for revenge, so he was so angry that he slammed his fist against the wall again.
Cao Zhen just lowered his head and hid his face, letting the tears flow silently.
The emperor has already ordered the withdrawal of the army, no matter how shameless he is, he must go back, at the very least, he can no longer keep those soldiers to accompany him here to defend to the death.
That is to say, even if he wants to be strong, he can only go alone at most, and those sergeants must hurry back to the Central Plains.
Because, Cao Pi ordered him to withdraw from the army, that is, there would be no more troops coming here to help him recover Guanzhong. If you don't go back, everyone will die in the end!
However, when I go back, how can I have the face to meet the emperor and the officials?
He suddenly wanted to ask, what happened to Cao Xiu, who had retreated to Luoyang after defeat?
As soon as I looked up and looked at the people around me, I remembered that I am afraid that no one here knows Cao Xiu's current situation.
Xiahou Ru looked at Cao Zhen, who was in pain, and still only let out a long sigh.
After a long time, he said softly: "Let's go home." ”
After a long time, Cao Zhen still only replied: "I don't have the face to go back." ”
After a long time, Xiahou Ru sighed again: "Go back, go back, maybe there will be a chance to come again." ”
There is no chance, Cao Zhen shook his head, even if Cao Pi was willing to give him a chance, he didn't have the face to ask for this opportunity again.
Yongzhou and Liangzhou, the land of the two states, were lost in their own hands, this kind of opportunity, only one person may encounter it in hundreds of years, and I picked it up like this.
"Go back, if you don't go back, maybe you won't have a chance." Xiahou Ru let out another long sigh.
Cao Zhen lowered his head again: "Go back." Go back, all of you. Take the rest of the people back to Luoyang safely. I, I, I'm right here, watching the enemy enter the city, and, then, desperately one, count one. ”
"Nope! No, I'm with you! Xiahou Ba cried out.
Cao Zhen shook his head: "No, you go back with everyone, remember that when you take revenge in the future, count me as one." ”
"Report!" An urgent announcement sounded outside the door, interrupting their argument.
Guo Huai hurriedly went out first, blocked the people outside, and asked softly.
When the visitor was far away, he walked back slowly, his mouth open and closed.
Cao Zhen knew that he was reporting military information, so he raised his head and asked, "Say, what's going on again?" ”
"General." Guo Huai replied in a low voice, "Enemy reinforcements continue to arrive. Just now, they had already set up camp outside the north gate. ”
Jing Zhaoyin was shocked, could it be that the enemy yelled every day that if he didn't leave, he wouldn't want to leave, and now the deadline has come.
Xiahou Ru also chattered uneasily: "Could it be that the enemy knows that we have received the order to retreat, and really wants to surround us and not let us go?" ”
Xiahouba shouted again: "I'm fighting with them!" ”
Fei Yao looked at Guo Huai, then turned to Cao Zhen and said, "General, I'll go out and take a closer look." ”
"Go ahead." Cao Zhen nodded in agreement, and at the same time said to Guo Huai and Xiahou Ru, "I can't let the soldiers follow me to be trapped here anymore." You also go and have a look, and then discuss it together, and then contact Sima Yi to arrange the breakout and withdrawal together. ”
He sent everyone else away, leaving Xiahou Ba alone, because this brother would not urge him to leave quickly, saving him embarrassment.
Xiahou Ba deflected his tone: "You better hurry up." I will stay behind and defend the city, and hold back the enemy for you. ”
The brotherhood is deep, and now, he doesn't risk his life, but he doesn't want Cao Zhen to wait for death here.
Cao Zhen looked at Xiahou Ba in astonishment, and then covered his face with his hands.
Even the Zhongquan brothers said so, the question of whether to go or not to go, there is no longer time to hesitate.
"No, you go! And to hurry up, to walk cautiously. On the way to retreat, don't be rash, don't fall for the enemy's agitation, and go to the enemy on impulse to fight hard. You have to take care of yourself, be fine, and go home. "Xiahou Yuan has died at the hands of the enemy, and Cao Zhenke sincerely hopes that Xiahou Ba will not repeat his father's fate.
"I'll follow you, together!" Xiahouba cried out loud.
He realized that if he gave his life to Cao Zhen, Cao Zhen would also cherish his Cao Zhen's life.
"No, you go first. I stayed in the city. The enemy knows that I am still in the city, so they should have more troops left, so that you may be able to walk a little easier. Cao Zhen thought about it for a while, and said to Xiahou, "I'm sorry for the so many soldiers who followed me in Guanzhong, now, in order to let the remaining nearly 20,000 people evacuate safely, it's time for me to pay for them." Alas, now that I had harmed them again, if I had withdrawn directly to Kabasaka earlier, I would not have had to suffer from the enemy as I do now. ”
"Let's go! Let's go! Xiahou Ru somehow turned back halfway, and exited in time to stop the two brothers from fighting to the death, "The Holy Lord has already made a decree, do you want to resist the decree and disobey it?" ”
All of a sudden, he was talking much faster.
It turned out that it was Guo Huai and Fei Yao who invited him back and persuaded Cao Zhen to hurry up and make up his mind.
"Let's go, everybody." Cao Zhen didn't want to fight with Xiahou Ba anymore, he wanted to bring them all back safely, otherwise, he would have no face to see Cao Pi.
Suddenly, with a resolute face, he stood up sharply, and shook his left arm vigorously, swinging almost freely, and his body was almost completely healed.
In this way, when you break through in the future, you can also lead the army to rush to the front and fight the enemy in person, so as to inspire the army and take the road home.
