Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly: "If Changyi is lost, will the Northern Xinjiang Army still divide troops to rescue?" No, Li Yi is angry, and he is bound to raise a large army, fight a decisive battle with us under Dingtao City, and swear to fight to the death to buy time for Hebei to recover.

"Although the strength of the Northern Xinjiang Army is similar to ours, everyone knows that the Northern Xinjiang Army is very strong. It's not that I destroy my own prestige and increase the enemy's morale, and with the same strength, we will not be the opponent of the Northern Frontier Army. So after this war, how much do we have left? When we can't hold it anymore, the Northern Frontier Army allows the troops in the city to break through, and then concentrates 100,000 iron cavalry to encircle and annihilate them, how many of us can escape from the battlefield in the end? ”

Cao Hong suddenly realized. His own army was completely annihilated, but Liu Bei's army happened to occupy Changyi. When the Northern Xinjiang Army lost troops and withdrew from Yanzhou, Liu Bei's army could just roar up and occupy the entire Yanzhou. At that time, Yuan Shao estimated that he was still fighting with the Northern Xinjiang Army on the battlefield in Henan. Liu Biao and Liu Bei, the two ministers of the clan, immediately killed Xuchang, won the Son of Heaven, and joined forces to deal with Yuan Shao, who was too busy to take care of himself, and revitalized the Han Dynasty.

"Since you know the stakes of this plan, why can't you just plan it?" Cao Hong hurriedly asked.

"Liu Bei is too powerful." Xi Zhicai shook his head, "The key point of this plan is where the lord must be saved." There are lords and their families in Changyi City, and if the lords don't follow his plans, we probably won't see them again. According to our inference, these family members are still alive now, and Li Yi will not kill them for the time being. ”

Cao Hong asked again: "Since it is possible that our entire army will be annihilated under Dingtao City, why does Liu Bei still come to send him to death?" ”

"Because Xuzhou's army needs time to move north, and our 80,000 troops attack Dingtao alone, it may not be able to support it for ten days." Xi Zhicai said, "Liu Bei sacrificed 20,000 people to defeat the Northern Xinjiang Army, eliminate our army, occupy Yanzhou, and possibly get the Son of Heaven, he is very cost-effective." ”

"We can give up attacking Dingtao." Cao Hong gritted his teeth and said angrily, "We won't settle down, let's retreat to Jiyang." ”

"Liu Bei has already transferred troops from Xuzhou to the north. The Northern Xinjiang Army was unable to conquer Dingtao in the short term, and its main forces were on the Dingtao battlefield. When Liu Bei attacked Changyi, the Northern Xinjiang Army stationed in Changyi was very likely to kill all these family members when their troops were insufficient. Therefore, attacking according to Liu Bei's strategy is our only way, after all, there are still great variables in this. The development of the war situation may have unexpected changes, we may be able to occupy Changyi to rescue these families, or we may be able to defeat the Northern Xinjiang Army on the Dingtao battlefield and win a complete victory. Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao and said helplessly, "In addition, the lord is not willing to retreat." Without Liu Bei's help, he dared to risk attacking Dingtao and planning for the army in the city to break through, not to mention that now Liu Bei took the initiative to help. He's going to have to fight. ”

"Is there any way back?" Cao Cao glared at Xi Zhicai dissatisfied, "If we lose Yanzhou, what will we do in the future?" Where do we go to beg for food? If we defeat Yuan Shu, there is still Jianghuai's retreat, but now we can say that there is no way to enter the heavens and the earth. What else can I do but fight? ”

The crowd was silent and gloomy.

"The lord has decided?" Xi Zhicai asked.

"Didn't you just say that?" Cao Cao barely squeezed out a smile and said bitterly, "It's one thing to sit at home and make a plan, but it's another thing to go to the battlefield to fight." On the battlefield, anything can happen. ”

Then, he turned to the herald and gave several orders in succession.

"Pass the word Liu Bei and ask him to come to his aid quickly."

"Do everything possible to send the order to Dingtao, and ask Zixiao to hold on for ten days. After ten days, you can break through. ”

"Order all the troops to march thirty miles and camp today."

………………

Jiyin County, Yanzhou, Dingtao City.

The general Li Yi led the Hu iron cavalry to Dingtao City, and Guan Yu, Zhang Yan, Xu Huang, Bian Xi, Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang and others came out of the camp to greet them.

"Zhai Yu has arrived in Dingtao, how many iron cavalry are still stationed in Changyi?" Guan Yu looked at Zhai Yu, who was laughing with Zhang He, approached Li Yi and asked in a low voice.

"Zu'e and Fengxian's 12,000 iron cavalry are still stationed on the front line of Chengwu and Liangqiu City." Li Yi said with a smile, "In addition, after Xun Yu transported grain and grass to Juye, I asked him to meet Lu Wenlong and go to Ren Chengguo first." If there is no chance to capture Rencheng, he and Lu Wenlong will return to the east and west to garrison, and the matter of attacking Rencheng will be handed over to Gao Shun. ”

Guan Yu asked, "When will Gao Shun's army arrive at the battlefield?" ”

"I heard Boren say that Gao Shun has already defeated Zhu Ling in Jucheng, and it is estimated that he will enter the Lu Kingdom in the next few days." Li Yi turned his head to look at him and asked, "The attack didn't go well?" ”

"I have stopped attacking and am patiently waiting for Cao Cao's rescue." Guan Yu said with a smile, "I hope Cao Cao still has the courage to break the embankment back then, and he will lead the army to kill directly." ”

"He'll come." Li Yi sneered, "That butcher, he can't smell blood, can he sleep?" ”

………………

Xuzhou, Langya country, Kaiyang City.

Late at night, Xiao Jian, the prime minister of Langya, dragged his tired body back to the house. Due to the tense situation of the war and the busy schedule of official business, he went directly to the study.

Xiao Jian sat down and drank a sip of water, and was about to review the official document, when the guards in the mansion came to report: "Envoy, Captain Xu has returned from Yangdu and is now waiting outside the mansion gate." ”

Xiao Jian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Please, please." ”

After a short time, Du Lieutenant Xu Sheng walked in with a priest in a black robe. That Fang Shi was very strong, and he followed behind Xu Sheng, hiding his face in the darkness intentionally or unintentionally.

"Zhu Wenbo is urging food and recruiting soldiers, and we are so busy that we don't even have the time to breathe." Xiao Jian stood at the door, stretched out his hand to greet him, and said with a smile, "How is the situation in Yangdu?" Did the rebels attack fiercely? ”

Then he pointed to the Fang Shi behind Xu Sheng and asked strangely, "This is your friend?" ”

The Fang Shi walked out from behind Xu Sheng. When Xiao Jian saw it suddenly, he suddenly changed color in shock, and exclaimed, "It's you?" ”

Xu Sheng turned around and closed the door. Xiao Jian hurriedly took two steps, grabbed Fang Shi's hand, and whispered: "Xuan Gao, you are too bold, you dare to come to Kaiyang at this time?" ”

Zang Ba smiled slightly and said, "I haven't seen you for two years, so you have always been good?" ”

"What are you doing in Kaiyang?" Xiao Jian subconsciously lowered his voice and asked urgently.

Zang Ba smiled and said, "Can you please sit down with me?" ”

"You sit, you sit ......" Xiao Jian was shocked, turned around and asked Xu Sheng again, "Where did you meet Xuangao?" Is it in Yangdu? ”

"Outside Kaiyang City." Xu Sheng pointed at Zang Ba and said, "Xuan Gao said that he has been here for two days and has not had a chance to enter the city. Today I came back from Yangdu, and I happened to see him. ”

Xiao Jian asked, "And then you brought him into the city?" ”

Xu Sheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, so far, no one has found out that Xuan Gao has entered the city." ”

Xiao Jian asked Xu Sheng to stand guard outside the study to prevent someone from breaking in. After greeting Zang Ba, Xiao Jian asked bluntly: "Xuan Gao, let's be straight, you took such a big risk to rush to Kaiyang in person, what is the matter?" ”

Zang Ba wiped the water stains on his mouth and said slowly: "More than ten years ago, when the great sage and good teacher preached the world, Jun You felt that the lives of the people were devastated, not only donated family funds to help the homeless, but also secretly participated in the Taiping Dao. At that time, the envoy was the county of Taishan County, and he was close friends with Taishou Zhang Ju, and he also had dealings with many big leaders in the Yellow Turban Army. ”

Xiao Jian frowned, and said with a wry smile: "Why are you suddenly saying this?" I'm not old, I still remember these old things, I don't want you to remind me. ”

"How many years has it been since you served as the minister of Langya? About four or five years, right? Zang Ba asked, "I remember that when Tao Gongzu recommended the envoy to be the minister of Langya, it coincided with Cao Cao's second attack on Xuzhou, right?" ”

Xiao Jian nodded, his expression gradually solemn. Zang Ba will not talk about the past for no reason, and very few people know about his participation in the Taiping Dao. Zang Ba's father and himself were in the same family, and they participated in the Taiping Road together, so Zang Ba knew this secret.

When Zang Ba broke away from the Yellow Turban Army and joined Tao Qian, he came forward to persuade him. After Tao Qian's death, Xuzhou was succeeded by Liu Bei as the state pastor. In order to consolidate his power in Xuzhou, Liu Bei drove Zang Ba to Langya. So together with Zang Ba, with Langya Country as the foundation, he carefully appeased the remnants of the Yellow Turban, appeased the displaced people, and let most of the people live a stable life as much as possible.

However, after the outbreak of the Jizhou War, Zang Ba never returned, and it was difficult for him to support himself, and Liu Bei's forces soon entered the Langya Kingdom. If it weren't for the continuous war, I am afraid that Liu Bei would have found an excuse to drive him out of Langya Country.

"Then ......" Zang Ba looked at Xiao Jian's old face and asked in a low voice, "Does the envoy know that the great general Li Yi has led the army to attack the Central Plains?" ”

"I know. The news has just arrived from Pengcheng. Xiao Jian said, "I heard that the offensive of the Northern Xinjiang Army is like a tide, and the attack is overwhelming, and all parts of the Central Plains are in a hurry. ”

Zang Ba paused for a moment, and then continued: "After careful discussion with Li Feng, Xue Lan, Yin Li, Wu Dun and others, I decided to respect the Son of Heaven and the imperial court of Jicheng, follow the general Li Yi to conquer the world, and revitalize Sheji. ”

"I know." Xiao Jian didn't have the slightest surprise, and said very calmly, "I heard Zhu Ling say that the army attacking Xuzhou this time, in addition to you, Yin Li, and Wu Dun, there is also Gao Shun of the Northern Xinjiang Army. ”

Then he stared at Zang Ba with two eyes, and asked solemnly: "Xuan Gao, are you here to persuade me to return to Hebei?" ”

Zang Ba smiled and asked, "Envoy, don't you want to?" ”

"Li Yi held the Son of Heaven hostage and plotted to usurp the throne, he is the enemy of the world, and his crime is greater, especially Dong Zhuo back then, don't you know?" Xiao Jian's face was worried, and he asked worriedly, "How can you take refuge in such a person?" ”

"There are many crimes against the general, but I want to ask the envoy, get rid of these charges piled on the head of the general, will the general not have any credit? Who conquered the desert and stabilized northern Xinjiang back then? Who has resettled millions of displaced people in northern Xinjiang? When the world was in turmoil and disasters broke out in the Central Plains, who accepted and resettled tens of millions of displaced people who fled to northern Xinjiang in just a few years?
