Sima Yi was very careful in doing things, and he had already left a back hand, so that Cao Zhenbu, who was originally guarding the new city and pretending to be the main force, also arrived here very early.

When Cao Pi and Sima Yi had just retreated here with the remaining 50,000 people, Cao Zhen immediately opened the city to greet them, and then the two sides joined forces, and the 100,000 troops entered the city.

"Second son, why do you want to enter the city, it's not safe here." When Sima Yi saw that Cao Pi ordered the army to enter the city, he looked anxious. As the main forces of Zhang Chao's army appeared one by one, he had a hunch that Yiyang was not safe, and he should continue to retreat in the direction of Xincheng.

"Hey, what is Zhongda in a hurry, although we have withdrawn, but there are other main forces that have not withdrawn? We'll just wait here for a while, and when it matters, we can make a response. After joining Cao Zhen, the anxious look on Cao Pi's face was gone, and he began to worry about Sun Li and the other four generals sent out.

Even if they can be targeted by the Fifth Legion, those generals will also be targeted. Maybe now they are fighting against Zhang's super army?

And once he can make a hole and escape, he needs support, at that time he will take 100,000 people in this city to kill, not only to rescue his own people, but also to prepare to catch Zhang Chao's army off guard.

The convergence of these 100,000 people in the city is definitely a secret thing, presumably Zhang Chao can't know it right away, this is equivalent to a strange army, how to make good use of them, is exactly what Cao Pi is thinking about now.

Cao Zhen on the side has always been not very good at dealing with Sima Yi.

In the eyes of a military general like Cao Zhen, Wenchen strategists are just talking about it, and if they really go into battle to fight, they still have to rely on them, but many times, these people enjoy indeed better treatment than them, how can people get used to it?

Now, Cao Pi, who has always been obedient to his words, is against Sima Yi, so he hurriedly said cooperatively, "I said Sima Yi, are you afraid, if you are afraid, I can give you five hundred soldiers, you can withdraw to Xincheng first, everything here is ours." ”

Sima Yi didn't pay attention to Cao Zhen, he knew that this person was jealous of his talent, for fear of robbing him of something, and reasoning with such a person would only get more and more chaotic. He cared more about Cao Pi's thoughts. He didn't believe it, even if the five legions were all dispatched, and they also escaped by luck, that Zhang Chao would forget about them. The reason why no one is attacking now is that the news has not yet been delivered, plus the 20,000 people who led the main force of the Fifth Army away, or Zhang Chao has not yet freed up his hands to deal with himself, and once the longer the time is held, the greater the danger.

Thinking that Yiyang City was not safe, and might even become a lonely city, Sima Yi continued to say something.

"Okay, Zhongda, I don't want to do anything about this matter, so don't say anything." Cao Pi knows Sima Yi very well, and knows that this person is very careful in doing things, but sometimes it is inevitable that he is too careful, such a character is sometimes likable, but sometimes it is also annoying.

Seeing that Cao Pi was unwilling to listen to his advice, but after hesitating, Sima Yi said again: "Okay, that's the case, please ask the second prince to pull out 10,000 horses for me, and I will go to garrison outside the city, in case there is anything, there will be a response." ”

Sima Yi is ready to be besieged in the city, if that is the case, although these 10,000 soldiers will not play an absolute role, but if they burst out of the surprise army, they may be able to kill a bloody way.

"Okay, that's right." Hearing that he was just taking away 10,000 soldiers, Cao Pi nodded and agreed, which made Cao Zhen, who wanted to disagree, have to swallow what he wanted to say. However, his gaze was staring at Sima Yi with a hint of fierceness, and he probably thought that it was not necessary to divide the troops at this time.

Sima Yi did not go to see Cao Zhen, and after getting the military order, he immediately ordered 10,000 soldiers and horses to leave the city, heading towards the official road leading to the new city. But no one knew that this army did not go far before stopping, and then encamped eight miles away from the city.

Without Sima Yi, Cao Zhen was in a much better mood, and immediately invited Cao Pi to drink in the temporary mansion in the city, and then the two brothers laughed and left.

Cao Pi was in a desperate situation, and felt that he would not die in a catastrophe, and he would have a blessing in the future, so he drank this wine until the evening, and then fell asleep deeply.

Not long after Cao Pi fell asleep, there were four directions outside Yiyang City, where horses' hooves stepped on the ground.

The Vanguard Corps has arrived.

After Lu Bu received the order of the lord Zhang Chao, he rushed over with a large army. After analyzing the situation, the military advisor Pang Tong chose Yiyang as a foothold.

Pang Tong meant that the lord of the battle situation on the Hedong side had already made arrangements, and he would not play any decisive role in going there, even if so, it was better to go to Yiyang first, and then suddenly the army went to Xincheng, and the Cao army that was there was caught off guard.

It's just that the development of the battle situation was also unexpected by Pang Tong. When the spies he arranged came to the outside of Yiyang City, they found that this place was occupied by the Cao army, and there were still a lot of them, so they hurriedly reported back. In this way, Pang Tong was overjoyed in his heart, so he formulated the practice of besieging the city on all sides.

"General Lu, this time we can't rush to attack the city, we just need to surround the enemy in the city, and then wait for the other legions to arrive, and the enemy here will naturally not be able to escape." Although Pang Tong was happy, he still calmly analyzed the situation.

"Okay, everything is according to the words of the military advisor, we will besiege the city first." Lu Bu also nodded in agreement. Although he was brave and good at fighting, and was not afraid of any enemy, he also knew that his men were mainly cavalry, and it was indeed not their forte to attack the city like this, so it was better to besiege the city first, and they would not be able to run away with such a merit.

As a result, the Vanguard suddenly appeared, and chose to besiege the city in the middle of the night.

Enemy troops appeared in all directions outside the city, which frightened the soldiers defending the city, and they hurriedly reported the news to General Cao Zhen in the city.

After Cao Zhen heard it, the wine woke up for most of the time, and hurriedly rushed to Cao Pi to report the situation.

Cao Pi was also shocked by this news, and then asked, "How many enemies are there?" Who is coming? ”

"The report below says that it is a cavalry, and it is under the banner of the vanguard legion, so it must be Lu Bu's killing god." When Cao Zhen talked about Lu Buqi's name, he also had a frightened expression on his face.

Cao Zhen is a man with some courage, and his personality is also extremely bold, and he belongs to the group that is not afraid of heaven and earth. It's just that when facing Lu Bu, who is known as the number one warrior, he also knows that the strength of the two is very different, and he will not be an opponent.

"What? It's Lu Bu who is here. Hearing that it was Lu Bu, Cao Zhen also gasped, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that Lu Bu is bringing cavalry, presumably the siege battle is not their specialty, even if it is so, don't worry that they will kill into the city." ”

"Yes, it is not good for them to attack the city now, but we are surrounded in the city, and I am afraid that it will be equally bad for a long time." Cao Zhen reminded Cao Pidao.

"So what? If not, break through. "Cao Pi also knows that even if Lu Bu appears here, I am afraid that it will not be long before Zhang Chao's other legions will also arrive, if that is the case, the situation will become very bad, and even if he is surrounded to death, it is not a matter of certainty.

"Breakout? So in which direction to break through? It's pitch black outside, and we don't know where the enemy is deploying. Cao Zhen said with a sigh. I didn't even understand the situation of the other party, and it was very dangerous to break through rashly.

Cao Pi also knew that what Cao Zhen said was the truth, and if he didn't understand it, he would do it, which would be tantamount to trying his luck, and he didn't think that his luck would be so good.

And just when the two were still hesitating what to do next, suddenly another soldier came to report, saying that it was in the south of Yiyang City, and there was suddenly a sound of fighting, and it was still very lively.

"What? Seongnam fought. As soon as he heard this, Cao Pi stood up violently, and then his eyes lit up and said: "Yes, it must be Zhongda who came to save us, hahaha, come, we will choose to break through in the south of the city. ”

Outside the south of the city, the sound of the fight was commanded by Sima Yi.

When the spies came to report that there was a large number of cavalry besieging Yiyang City, Sima Yi made the decision to set off with the whole army, and then 10,000 people rushed towards the outer gate of the southern city, and suddenly appeared in the rear of the cavalry of the vanguard legion.

Sima Yi also didn't figure out the truth of Lu Bu, but what he knew was that just besieged the city, there would definitely be many loopholes, if he couldn't seize this opportunity to make a move, once the siege was completed, it would be even more difficult to find a way out.

In the spirit of surprise, Sima Yi suddenly made a move. Indeed, as he expected, the attention of the vanguard army was in the city, and the enemy killed behind him was cold, but he caught them by surprise.

Sima Yi let the soldiers fly all the flags as much as possible, in order to create a huge momentum, let others know that they had a lot of reinforcements, and also forced the vanguard army to avoid its edge.

Seeing that there were so many flags, and in the dark of night, the commander of the vanguard corps who led the team did not know how many enemies came, and even he didn't know if this was the enemy's anti-encirclement plan, in line with the idea of prudence, he was fighting and retreating, and at the same time, he reported the situation here to the corps commander Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was at the West City Gate at this time, and when he heard that the South City Gate was being killed, he hurriedly dispatched a large army to help, and at the same time, he himself led the army to arrive.

In the time when Lu Bu led his troops to the south city gate, the south gate of Yiyang City was opened, and the army led by Cao Pi and Cao Zhen suddenly came out.
