Wang Shuang knew that he would not be Zhang Liao's opponent, and in order to be happy when he died, he actually killed himself with a sword like this.

Wang Shuang actually chose to commit suicide, which made Zhang Liao not expect, but now looking at the dead body that fell to the ground, he shook his head and said: "That's it, it's really cheap to let you die like this." It's just that you want to wait for someone to avenge you, and that's really a difficult thing to do. ”

Zhang Liao is now the commander of the Seventh Legion, as long as he is not careless, it will be extremely difficult to kill him, Wang Shuang's hope that someone will avenge him is just an obsession.

Wang Shuang was killed, and this siege and annihilation battle could be declared over.

The whole battle lasted for nearly two hours, and more than 7,000 of Cao's troops were killed, and all the others were captured. It is worth mentioning that no one was able to escape, let alone the things they robbed in Hedong, and now all of them have fallen back into the hands of Zhang Liao's Seventh Army.

Everything, just as Zhang Chao expected at the beginning, don't you want to grab something? Okay, I'll do it for you, but do you have the strength to take these things?

The reality seems to have the answer, that is, it can't be taken away. It's not difficult to do this, but even my life is going to be lost here.

At the same time that Zhang Chao launched the siege and annihilation of Wang Shuang, dozens of miles away, Bian Xi and General Yang Ding also led 50,000 soldiers to besiege the Chen Taibu of Cao's army.

Unlike Zhang Liao, Chen Tai made a stubborn resistance, but this time he faced the main force of the extremely elite First Army, 50,000 to 20,000, and the battle lasted for nearly a day under the condition that the number was not superior, and finally ended, Chen Tai was killed in battle, and all his 15,000 soldiers died.

There were only five thousand captives for themselves. Of course, all the items they had looted in Hedong were kept.

Wang Shuang and Chen Tai were both killed in battle, and Sun Li and Han Meng of the other two armies did escape.

Among them, Han Mengbu met the headquarters of Xu Huang of the Fifth Army, and after a fierce battle between the two sides, more than 10,000 corpses and prisoners were dropped, and the main general only took 5,000 men and horses.

Among the four teams, only Sun Libu had the best luck and did not encounter any strong opponents, which was also because he had prepared to give up military funds in advance, and walked with his soldiers through the path, avoiding some dangers, so that he basically maintained his original strength.

The four generals sent went to Hedong, and now only two main generals are left who have returned, and the soldiers have been discounted by more than half. This news has not yet reached Cao Pi's ears, and in fact, he has no time to pay attention to these, because the spies in front came to report and found Zhang Chao's other main army, flying the banner of the Fourth Army.

"How many enemies are coming? Is this Zhang Chao going to play with us? After hearing that a large number of Zhang Chaojun also appeared in front of him, Cao Pi was unwilling and angry.

This battle, at first it was very smooth, raided the Seventh Army, killed a full 110,000 people, and looted several counties in Sili, Zhang Chao's army did not dare to move, it would be good to be able to withdraw safely at that time, but the people's hearts were not enough to swallow the elephant, in the end he was not satisfied, but wanted to leave after a robbery on Hedong, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen.

Cao Pi thought that his four generals didn't know life and death, and he didn't know whether he could return to Xincheng smoothly, so he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and at the same time set his eyes on Sima Yi.

It was this person who persuaded him not to use troops against Hedong before, but he didn't listen at the time, so he made such a mistake, and I hope that he can have a good plan to fight him now.

Cao Pi's eyes looked at him, and Sima Yi, who had been prepared, lowered his head, and then said very respectfully, "Second son, there is a way to get rid of the predicament in front of you, but you need to make sacrifices. ”

"What a law, come on." Hearing that Sima Yi had a way, Cao Pi was shocked and urged urgently.

"We didn't go to Gucheng, now even Zhang Chao's army can't find the movement of our army, even now, the fifth army is in front, but it may not be able to guess where we fall, but it is difficult to hide the movement when we move, and what we have to do now is to get rid of them, but if you want to attract their attention, you have to invest a certain amount of money." After Sima Yi finished speaking, he looked up at Cao Pi slightly. He believed that what he said was very clear.

Cao Pi naturally understood the meaning of this plan, it was nothing more than using troops to divert the attention of the Fifth Legion, so it was basically difficult for these people sent to come back alive.

"Does it have to be so?" Cao Pi said unbearably.

"It must be so, and even this plan must be done quickly, otherwise, the other party will find out, or once their spies find us, it will be too late." Sima Yi said with a hint of anxiety in his words.

"Okay." Cao Pi also knows that as a general, he cannot have the kindness of a woman. Now it seems that it will undoubtedly be the best way to lure the enemy's main force away with a small number of troops and create an opportunity for the withdrawal of large forces. "Well, but I don't know how many people to send? Is five thousand okay? ”

Cao Pi was asking Sima Yi about this, perhaps in his opinion, sending 5,000 people to death was already a big price. But where did he think that Sima Yi, who was kneeling below, did shake his head and said, "It's too little." ”

"Five thousand is less? So you mean to send out 10,000? Cao Pi said with some displeasure.

Who knows, Sima Yi's next words were even more unexpected by Cao Pi, "No, 10,000 is not enough, if you want to deceive the Fifth Army, you must send at least 20,000 horses, and you need the second prince to take out the general flag." ”

Sima Yi would say this because he also knew the strength of the Fifth Army on the other side, not to mention that the commander of the army there, Xu Huang, was already a tiger general, just to say that the military advisor Xu Shu was definitely a smart person, speaking of which, the two of them still have some origins, and they knew each other in their early years.

Xu Shu is indeed a wise man, it is not possible to deceive him without paying some capital, if he is not recognized, he is afraid that he will not be able to leave safely.

"What? 20,000 people, and you still want my military flag? Hearing what Sima Yi said about the conditions to be paid, Cao Pi was really frightened at this moment.

Speaking of which, every powerful army has his unique military flag, as Cao Cao's second son, he is also a very capable person, this time he led the troops out, Cao Apu specially made a military flag for him, which in some respects represents Cao Pi's face.

But now, if he really wants to give this thing away, it's no wonder that Cao Pi is so surprised and unbearable.

"Yes, unless that's the case, it's hard to escape." Sima Yi said in a very affirmative tone.

Cao Pi was naturally trustworthy to Sima Yi, and seeing that he was so sure of what he said, he was also a little hesitant at this moment.

Seeing that Cao Pi didn't make a decision immediately, Sima Yi continued: "Second son, please make a decision quickly, it won't be good for us to continue this matter." Once we get closer, the spies find us, and there is nothing else we can do. ”

Sima Yi was indeed a little anxious, which was also based on his understanding of Xu Shu and knowing this person's ability.

"Okay." Cao Pi is also a person who does great things, otherwise, he would not stand out among his many sons and inherit Cao Cao's career. Now it's just a loss of 20,000 men plus a military flag to get the hope of life, and he has to do that.

"Okay, let Zhongda arrange everything. It's just that I wrote down today's events, and sooner or later I will take revenge. Cao Pi promised, but he was ruthless in his heart, and he would definitely find a chance to make up for the face he lost today.

After Sima Yi got the order, he went to arrange it. Soon after, the 20,000-strong army under the banner of Cao Pi's army separated from the main force and rushed out in another direction.

Where the Five Legions are located.

All kinds of signs show that Cao Pi's main force is nearby, but it will take time to find out where it is. But whether it was the corps commander Xu Huang or the military advisor Xu Shu, they all believed that it was only a matter of time before they were encircled and annihilated.

"Report, Cao Jun's soldiers and horses were suddenly found in the front, and they were flying Cao Pi's military flag." A spy came out of nowhere to report.

"Okay, Ma Chuan ordered General Ji Ling to lead 50,000 horses to pursue first, and after that, I will lead the main force to help." Hearing the battle report, Xu Huang excitedly gave the order. For a while, because he wanted to defend Luoyang City, he saw Cao Pi looting in Sili and couldn't do anything, so he had already held a breath of bird breath in his heart, and now is the time to release it.

The Fifth Legion moved and launched a siege against the exposed 20,000 Cao troops.

First, Ji Ling led 50,000 horses, and soon after, Zhang Liao personally led 100,000 people to follow, and when everything was reported to Cao Pi by the spies, he looked at Sima Yi on the side in a cold sweat.

Everything is really too dangerous. If the Fifth Legion really touches him, it will definitely be a big battle, and the result will probably be very bad.

While secretly frightened, Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi again and said, "Zhongda, can we leave now." ”

"Yes, the Fifth Legion has been lured away, we are safe for the time being, let's withdraw." Sima Yi was also surprised, he saw that this time in order to deal with them, Zhang Chao did not lose the capital, if he was very careful for a while, this time it was very likely to be made dumplings.

"Okay, withdraw." Cao Pi doesn't dare to think about making any cheap money now, and it is a blessing to be able to withdraw safely.

Cao Pi retreated, and retreated from the official road of Gucheng through dense forests in the direction of Xincheng.

Yiyang City.

Because of the development of the war situation, this city in the middle of Sinanseong, Guyang and Xincheng has a very important geographical location.
