Guo Yi and Dianman also reacted and hugged Cao Xiu.

Xiahou Lian stepped forward and persuaded hard, and finally made Cao Xiu dispel the idea of suicide.

However, the city of Liang was broken, and Cheng Yu died...... The battle of Jizhou has been completely lost, what should we do next? No one knows.

Before, Xiahou Lian stubbornly guarded Neihuang in order to rescue Cheng Yu, so he could have a pedal.

Now Cheng Yu is dead......

"Uncle, the inner yellow can no longer be guarded."

Guo Yi sighed and said softly: "The thief army broke the city, and the next step must be to go south."

They had not been able to conquer Neihuang before, also because of the lack of troops. Now that the city of Liang is broken, the thief army will have no worries, and when the time comes, the army will go south, and my Neihuang will become a lonely city, which is really difficult to hold. Even if General Lu is in Liyang, he may not have the strength to come to the rescue.

So I think that the top priority should be to withdraw the troops as much as possible and stick to Liyang.

Liyang is backed by the river, and Mr. Xun can take advantage of the convenience of Yanjin White Horse to give more support...... As long as you can hold Liyang, it is not impossible to recapture Wei County in the coming year. But if we stick to Neihuang now, if Neihuang City is broken, we will also have to worry about our lives. ”

"Boyi, are you afraid of death?"

Cao Zhang was furious and said sharply: "I waited for the defeat of the thief army yesterday, you didn't say that you would take advantage of the victory to pursue and recapture Yecheng, but instead let us withdraw our troops and let go of Neihuang, wouldn't you be greedy for life and afraid of death?" ”

"You don't have to yell at me, I'll tell you the truth."

Guo Yi was not angry at all, glared at Cao Zhang, and said, "Although we defeated Zhang He yesterday. But the thieves were not injured.

Plus there is cover from wind and snow. Yesterday's victory was a fluke. It's also that Zhang who doesn't know our situation. That's why they will be defeated. If you confront them face-to-face, can you really defeat the other party? And now that the city of Liang is broken, Cheng Gong is killed in battle, and the thief army no longer cares. Na Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liao and Pang De are either wise men or brave generals...... They brought soldiers and horses from Changshan and Julu counties to come, and once they surrounded us, they cut off our connection with Liyang. Neihuang is bound to become a lonely city.

At that point, will we be able to block each other's attacks? ”

What Guo Yi said is also a very practical problem.

After the Han army destroyed Cheng Yu, it would definitely concentrate its forces, storm Neihuang, and capture Liyang......

They no longer have any worries about the future, and they have an absolute advantage in troops. Moreover, the war in Qingzhou is said to have come to an end, so Liu Chuang may come from Qingzhou at any time. Once Liu Chuang rushed to Jizhou, the morale of the Han army would inevitably be stronger, and it was definitely not something they could resist.

Guo Yi said softly: "Ziwen." It's not flesh and blood to march and fight, and I know you want to fight that man. But the question is ......"

He patted Cao Zhang's arm, "We have already suffered too many casualties, so we shouldn't have any more losses." ”

In the two battles of Handan Yecheng, Cheng Yu's father and son died......

Tens of thousands of Cao soldiers were either killed by the Han army or became prisoners of the Han army. And Handan and Yecheng are also occupied by the Han army, which can be said to be the general trend.

Cao Zhang was silent and slowly lowered his head.

And Xiahou Lian glanced at Guo Yi with appreciation, "Ziwen don't be discouraged."

I think about how many times the lord has experienced a big defeat when he got into trouble in his hometown, and even worried about his life several times. But in the end, the lord won! It is precisely because of this that we have today's situation. Boyi is right, Neihuang is indeed not suitable to stick. Liyang City has thick walls and a large amount of heavy grain and grass is hoarded, which is really an excellent place to hold on. I know, you want to fight Uncle Liu Huang once...... But do you know that when Uncle Liu Huang abandoned the second county of Qingzhou, everyone thought that he would decline from then on, but now he has become the enemy's enemy.

If you want to surpass that Uncle Liu, you have to learn this kind of strong man's courage to break his wrist.

If you only care about the immediate gains and losses...... Hehe, Ziwen, you can't compare to that after all. ”

"Akira, teachable!"

Cao Zhang listened to Xiahou Lian's words and bowed.

Seeing that Cao Zhang no longer objected, Xiahou Lian breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately ordered the defenders of Nei Huang to pack their bags and empty all the weapons, baggage, grain and grass of Nei Huang...... Early the next morning, Xiahou Lian ordered Cao's army to withdraw from Neihuang.

He ordered Guo Yi and Cao Xiu to escort the heavy grain and grass vehicles, and he and Cao Zhangdian broke off to prevent the Han army from pursuing.

By the end of the day, the vanguard of the Han army arrived in Neihuang.

After Zhang Hehu was successfully attacked by Cao Zhang, his troops retreated sixty miles and set up camp.

On the one hand, they probed the truth of Neihuang, and on the other hand, they sent a letter to Yecheng...... Zhuge Liang won a big victory in the Liang period, but in fact he suffered a lot of losses. After several days of fierce fighting, the Liang period has almost become a ruin. Tens of thousands of people were displaced, and they all scolded Cheng Yu for being vicious.

At the same time, when the city was broken, Cheng Yu burned the city gate, which also caused nearly 1,000 Han soldiers to die in the fire.

Just having to deal with these post-war matters gave Zhuge Liang a headache...... Knowing that Zhang He had failed, Zhuge Liang was also very surprised.

"I didn't expect that Xiahou Lian still has this kind of courage!"

He said to Zhang Liao: "I thought that Xiahou Lian was not enterprising enough, and he didn't dare to fight lightly.

Looks like I underestimated this person...... However, the beam period has been broken, and we have no worries. I asked General Wenyuan to lead his troops to Yecheng to supervise the battle and see what else Xiahou Lian was capable of. Although Jun Yi and Ziyi were defeated this time, they didn't need to be too nervous. Now the overall situation of Jizhou has been decided, and the lord will return from Qingzhou in the near future, and even if Xiahou Lian has great ability, it will be difficult to return to heaven. ”

At that moment, Zhang Liao led his troops to Yecheng.

Zhuge Liang ordered Xu Sheng to go to support Zhang He, and the two soldiers and horses were combined into one, so that Xiahou Lian was trapped in Neihuang.

For this reason, he also ordered Xiao Ling to lead his troops to gather in Fuyang to cut off the connection between Liyang and Neihuang. This Fuyang Ju is located south of Neihuang, on the south bank of the Qinghe River, adjacent to Huangze. Occupying Fuyangju is equivalent to cutting off Xiahou Lian's grain route, and it will be difficult for Xiahou Lian to fly when the time comes.

Unexpectedly, when Zhang Hehu arrived in Neihuang, he was faced with an empty city.

Cao Jun had evacuated Neihuang, and when Xiao Ling felt that Fuyang was gathered, Cao Jun had also read the Qingshui River...... This also made Zhuge Liang feel extremely shocked.

"Send someone to inquire at once. There are people around Xiahou Lian who have suggestions. ”

Zhuge Liang's heart tightened. Hurriedly ordered someone to find out the news.

Zhang Liaoqi said: "How can Kong Ming predict it. Isn't this Xiahou Lian's plan? ”

Zhuge Liang sneered: "When Xiahou Lian sneaked up on Jun Yi before, I sensed that something was wrong. Xiahou Lian is a talented person, but he is cautious, and he is by no means a bold person. And this time, Cao Jun took the initiative to abandon Neihuang, and it was not something that Xiahou Lian could come up with. If there is no one to advise him, he will never abandon Neihuang. This person's vision is not bad, and he is very decisive in the face of problems, and he does not drag his feet in the slightest. Such a character. I'm also very curious...... Cao Cao's subordinates are indeed full of talents. ”

Zhang Liao couldn't help but be curious.

To be so praised by Zhuge Liang, this person is not simple!

You must know that Zhuge Liang is very humble on weekdays, but he is extremely arrogant in his bones.

Even in front of Xun Chen and others, he rarely showed timidity, so much so that it was said that there were three major masterminds in the General's Mansion, Xun Chen Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu.

"Hearing Kong Ming say this, I'm also a little interested!"

Zhang Liao personally led the army to Neihuang at the moment, and let Xiao Ling and Zhang He gather in Fuyang.

Questioned by scouts. They soon heard the results......

"It's Huang Xu'er?"

Of course, Zhuge Liang knew Cao Zhang, and even Zhang Liao and Cao Zhang were very familiar with it.

The two looked at each other. couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "If Madame knew that Huang Xu'er had such skills, she would be very happy." ”

Madame, refers to Cao Xian.

Although Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liao admired Cao Zhang, they actually didn't take it to heart.

The person who really caught their attention was Guo Yi!

This person is Xun Yu's nephew and Guo Jia's son...... These two identities alone are enough to make Zhuge Liang pay attention to them.

"If Guo Fengxiao knows his son's ability, maybe he will be proud."

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes, as if talking to himself.

In my mind, I couldn't help but think of Guo Jia's delicate face. The elder brother attaches great importance to this Guo Jia, and now it seems that the tiger father has no dogs, and this Guo Yi is not idle. Zhuge Liang couldn't help but laugh! When he was in Yanjing, he competed with Guo Jia several times, but he did not gain the upper hand. This time, I'm going to clean up your son...... I want to see what kind of expression Guo Fengxiao will have when you are then.

At that moment, Zhuge Liang made a decision.

He ordered Xu Sheng to continue to guard Yecheng and ordered Fuhu to sit in Neihuang.

Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liao Pang De commanded 30,000 troops, crossed the Qingshui River and gathered troops in Fuyang, looking at Liyang City......

Na Liyang, the city is high and the walls are thick, and it is a strong city. As Cao Cao's bridgehead in Hebei, Cao Cao rebuilt Liyang since the seventh year of Jian'an, and its defensive strength was more than double that when Cao Cao attacked Liyang. It is not an easy task to fight Liyang. Zhuge Liang ordered people to start the Liyang sand table, and Zhang Liao repeatedly deduced, trying to find the best attack point......

On this day, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liao, Pang De and Zhang He led their troops to investigate a place thirty miles away from Liyang.

Looking from afar, I saw the eight-zhang high city wall of Liyang standing on the bank of the big river, the banner on the city was waving, and the sword was shining in the sun.

Cao's defense at Liyang was divided into three parts.

The main city of Liyang was personally seated by Lu Qian.

The crossing of the Yellow River was guarded by Xiahou Lian to ensure the connection between Liyang and the south bank of the Yellow River; Cao Xiu led 8,000 people to go up and down the village on a high ridge ten miles west of Liyang City, and had a bird's-eye view of the plains outside Liyang City. The three echo each other to form an extremely complete defense system. If the Han army besieged Liyang, Cao Xiu could lead his troops to attack from the rear; If Cao Xiu is besieged, Lü Qian and Xiahou Lian will be flanked in two ways. Moreover, Cao Xiu's camp was located in a dangerous place, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack...... Zhuge Liang's four people are all people who know the soldiers, and just looking at the defense arrangement of Cao Jun, they know that if they want to forcibly attack Liyang, it must be an extremely tragic and bitter battle......

"Kong Ming, is there a countermeasure?"

Zhuge Liang looked at the map, his brows twisted into a Sichuan character.

After a while, he let out a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "Humane Lu Zi is good at abiding by it, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation...... If you use the conventional method to attack Liyang, I am afraid it will be difficult to work. Unless the lord can provide another batch of heavenly thunder fire...... However, even if you use heavenly thunder fire, I am afraid that it will have little effect. ”

The four of them observed for a long time, but in the end they could not come up with an idea.

After some deliberation, the four of them decided to return to Fuyang to make another plan...... Who knew that when they had just arrived at the camp of the Han army in Fuyang, they saw Xiao Ling hurriedly coming out of the gate, and after greeting the four of them, Xiao Ling said softly: "The lord is here!" ”
