The clear water was on fire, and the news of the burning of grain and grass reached the camp of the Xiliang army in Chencang, and all the soldiers of Xiliang changed color. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the weather is cold, if the grain and grass are cut off, there will be no doubt that they will die, and the soldiers will panic.

Zhong Xuan's account was discussed, and in the face of survival, the Xiliang coalition army was unprecedentedly united, and Zhang Meng, who had never dared to go out of the camp, also came to Zhong Xuan's tent with five hundred personal guards. The warlords of Xiliang gathered again. Zhong Xuan looked at the Xiliang generals who had only united at this time, and his heart was desolate, and now he knew that it was too late.

"How much food is left in the army?" Zhong Xuan asked.

"With the grain and grass in Wangcheng, it will take less than thirty days." Wellcome, who has been preparing grain and grass, said.

Zhong Xuan tried his best to show confidence, nodded confidently and said, "Thirty days of food and grass are completely enough." I heard that Lu Bu divided his troops to attack Fufeng, Hanxing, Anding and other places, and Chen Cang's troops were insufficient. The only chance of victory at the moment is to launch a fierce attack on Chencang, fight against the water, support Hanxing after capturing Chencang, and drive Lü Bu's army north of the Wei River to the area of Chang'an. ”

Zhong Xuan's opinion is not supported by the Xiliang warlords, the Xiliang warlords don't want to fight to the death with Lu Bu, as long as they retreat back to Xiliang, the power is still there, Lu Bu will travel a long way to crusade against Xiliang in the future, and fall into passivity, they still have the power to protect themselves, and now they will fight with Lu Bu to lose both, and in the end it is Zhong Xiang's master Cao Cao who picks up the cheap, and the Xiliang warlords are not so stupid.

Zhang Meng just wanted to speak out against it, but Ma Teng preemptively said: "The gentleman's words are wrong." Fight to the death? Chen Cang's guard is the butcher Gao Shun, the siege battle the month before last made my Xiliang Iron Cavalry lose soldiers, with him to defend the city, how can Chen Cang be able to capture it with a fierce attack? If the long-term battle is unfavorable and the grain and grass are exhausted, will our Xiliang army be able to return to Xiliang smoothly? At this time, there is still a surplus of grain and grass for a month, and it is also possible to get it back when there is surplus grain. ”

Ma Teng's family is the dominant one in the Xiliang army, this time to attack Lu Bu, Ma Teng's power doubled, and Lu Bu secretly sent someone to send him a letter, willing to protect him as the king of Xiliang. All the goals of Ma Tenglai's attack on Lu Bu have been achieved one by one, and after returning to Yicheng, the soldiers forced Zhong Xuan to hand over the stone tablet of Liwang.

"In the name of Gao Shun, the lieutenant generals of our army trembled when they heard it, and now they heard that the grain and grass in the rear have been lost, and the army is panicked and has no intention of fighting." Zhang Meng also expressed his reluctance to fight again. From beginning to end, his soldiers never went into battle once except for eating a lot of grain and grass, just like the old soldiers raised by Zhong Xuan. Hearing Zhang Meng's words, Zhong Miao couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and wanted to take Zhang Meng down to warn Ma Teng.

"Coward! Greedy rats! As soon as Zhang Meng's words fell, Cheng Gongying jumped up and pointed at Zhang Meng's nose and scolded, as Han Sui's confidant general, Cheng Gongying never forgot Han Sui's hatred, he wanted to fight with Lu Bu endlessly, seeing Zhang Meng supporting Ma Teng's retreat, he was annoyed and angry: "My Xiliang warriors are not afraid of death, and a small Chen Cang will stop my army, what is the bravery?" Shame on the warriors of the ancestors. ”

"If I can't conquer Lu Bu today, if I return to Xiliang, I will die in the future and have no place to bury, but it will be sooner or later. I agree with the strategy of making your back to the water. Yan Xing got up and stood beside Zhong Xuan, with a clear position, that is, to support it to the end.

Liang Xing, Ma Play, and Li Kan got up and stood behind Ma Teng again, supporting the retreat to return to Xiliang, they didn't want to go all the way to the dark, if they couldn't defeat Lu Bu within thirty days, it would be the end of the defeat of the Xiliang army.

Whether to fight or retreat, the two argued endlessly, although Zhong Xiang was in the tent, Zhong Miao did not dare to do anything to Ma Teng, let alone detain Ma Teng. Ma Teng's son Ma Chao can be injured in the big nutrition, once Ma Chao is angered, I am afraid that Ma Chao will not mind the bloody Xiliang camp and annex all the Xiliang coalition forces.

The two parties were at a standstill, and Zhong Miao had no choice, so he finally decided to let them go back to the camp first, and then visit the big battalions one by one, and then understand the reasoning and persuade each one.

Zhang Meng returned to his camp, not wanting to fight with Lu Bu anymore, so he decided to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle and spread the news of the loss of clear water, grain and grass. The entire Xiliang army camp panicked, and the heavy breath spread in the Xiliang camp, and the soldiers spontaneously packed their luggage and prepared to retreat after dawn. When Zhong Miao heard the panic of the whole battalion, he knew that someone had spread the news to the ordinary soldiers, and he collapsed on the ground and was speechless for a long time. Ordinary soldiers knew that the grain and grass were destroyed, and they had no desire to fight, so even if they were left behind, they would only give the enemy a head, sighed, and decided to retreat to Yicheng first.

The camp of the Xiliang Army suddenly panicked and cried, and it had already alarmed the Chen Cang Lu Bu Army, who had been monitoring him.

"Quickly ordered General Huang, who was attacking Hanxing, to put down the siege and quickly return to Chencang, and at the same time ordered the lord who was rushing from Fufeng to speed up."

Gao Shun ordered the army and went to the camp of the Xiliang army to kill. The enemy retreated and we advanced, he wanted to hold back the Xiliang army and wait for Huang Zhong and Lu Bu to arrive and jointly annihilate the Xiliang coalition army.

Seeing that his military camp was in turmoil, Zhong Xuan lured the defenders of Chen Cang out, and once again saw the hope of victory. How could Lu Bu's infantry be the opponent of cavalry in a field battle outside the city. Gao Shun has few soldiers, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity should not be missed.

According to the original plan, Zhong Miao let Ma Teng, Zhang Meng and others, who avoided but did not fight, retreat first, and retreated to the street pavilion to fortify and meet Zhong Xuan's army. Zhong Xuan left the main battle generals Cheng Gongying, Yan Xing, and Wei Kang, and the three generals combined their soldiers and horses, close to 30,000 cavalry. 30,000 cavalry can still make the heavens and the earth tarnish, and the mountains tremble. Zhong Xuan's military strength can still compete head-on with Lu Bu's army.

Gao Shun took the soldiers out of the city, and there was an obstacle from the ice and earth wall that had been poured on the Guanlong Road earlier, so the Xiliang cavalry could not drive straight into it and launched a charge. Zhong Xuan ordered the hundreds of people who had plundered to fight the vanguard, uprooting the ice walls along the way, and the cavalry followed behind the people.

Watching the people pull out obstacles and bulldoze the ice wall all the way, Gao Shun gritted his teeth. As a butcher, he can kill the enemy without mercy, and torture life and death by cruel means, but in the face of the people, he can't do it. This people are accomplices of the enemy, but they are persecuted.

"Build an ice wall in the back!" Gao Shun was waiting for Lu Bu to arrive anyway, so Gao Shun built an ice wall of thirty miles overnight, intending to spend it with Zhong Xuan to the end.

Faced with such a situation, Liu Ye had nothing to do, but Jia Xu suggested exterminating the people who knocked down the ice wall, otherwise it would only encourage the people who did not distinguish between right and wrong to speed up the speed of tearing down the ice wall. However, it was not adopted by Gao Shun, Lu Bu treated the people very kindly, otherwise he would not use military rations to relieve the people, Gao Shun knew Lu Bu very well, unless it was a last resort, he would not attack this group of people.

Ma Teng retreated to the street pavilion, and he personally defended the street pavilion, of course, not to meet Zhong Xuan, but to stop the army in Zhong Xuan's hands in Guanlong Avenue, and delay time for Ma Chao in Tianshui, Yicheng and other places. As long as Zhong Miao and the others are annihilated by Lu Bu, Ma Teng will be the most powerful prince in Xiliang, and the position of the king of Xiliang will be unyielding.
