Zhang Ren, Wei Yan, Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others all gathered here.
Liu Xiu looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Last night, Cao 'Cao' sent troops to attack and disturb. But today, I found out that Cao 'Cao' had withdrawn his troops, what is the situation? What do you think?"
Zhang Ren said: "Your Highness, Cao's 'Cao' use of soldiers is treacherous, not easy to match. The final general thinks that this may be Cao Cao's trick to retreat, and once we pursue, Cao Cao' may ambush us. ”
Liu Xiu bowed slightly, but did not express his position.
Pang Tong's eyes narrowed, and he said, "What if Cao '' really retreated?"
Zhang Ren said: "How is it possible? This is impossible. ”
Pang Tong said: "Why is it impossible. ”
Zhang Ren explained: "First, if Cao 'Cao' retreats in this battle, he will inevitably be covered up and killed by His Highness. In particular, Cao 'Cao' was ambushed, and now that he is retreating, he is likely to be defeated. ”
"Second, Xiahoudun died tragically in front of Cao's '', can Cao '' bear it?"
"Third, Cao 'Cao' has been repeatedly defeated in the hands of His Highness, can Cao 'Cao' swallow this breath?"
Zhang Ren's eyes showed a 'look' of wisdom.
He couldn't believe that he was still fighting yesterday, and today Cao 'Cao' was going to withdraw his troops.
This is not like Cao's '' style.
Pang Tong said: "General Zhang's analysis is very reasonable, but in my opinion, it misses a very important point. ”
Zhang Ren asked, "What?"
At this time, Liu Xiu's eyes also fell on Pang Tong.
He also wanted to hear what Pang Tong would say.
Liu Xiu also has his own inferences about Cao's retreat, but he also has to listen to how the strategists judge, this is the role of the strategists.
Pang Tongzheng said: "What if Cao 'Cao' suddenly fell ill last night, and it was difficult to persist under a serious illness?"
Brush!
Zhang Ren's eyes flashed with surprise.
This point, he considered oversight.
If Cao 'Cao' is really seriously ill, and the retreat of the Cao army, it may be that the Cao army has to retreat.
Liu Xiu listened to Pang Tong's analysis and agreed with this analysis in his heart.
In fact, Pang Tong's analysis has been quite in-depth.
It's just that no one expected that Xu Chu found a Hua Tuo who could cure Cao Cao's headache at such a critical time, which was the reason why Cao Cao' really retreated.
Liu Xiu looked at Jia Xu and asked, "What does the military advisor think?"
Jia Xuzheng said: "Your Highness, the soldiers are treacherous, false and real, true and false, these are all possible. ”
"What we have to think about is to include these factors. ”
"His Highness suggested that His Highness send a cavalry as the vanguard to chase after him, and then lead the army to the back. ”
"The pursuit is definitely going to be pursued. ”
"No matter what the reason for Cao's 'Cao' to retreat, no matter whether Cao's 'Cao' laid an ambush or not, it would be a pity if such a good opportunity was missed. ”
"So, it must be pursued. ”
Jia Xu said: "It's just that the way of pursuit is up for debate. It is suggested that light cavalry should be used to cover the killing, and by the way, you can also find out the news to see if Cao 'Cao' is really retreating or a fake retreat. ”
Zhang Ren listened and echoed: "The last general agrees with Jia Junshi's proposal. ”
Wei Yan said: "The last general also agrees. ”
Liu Xiu nodded and ordered, "Zhang Ren, you send a team of light cavalry to pursue." After the light cavalry left, I asked Huang Hu to lead a group of light cavalry to follow behind, just in case. Then, the army followed. ”
What Liu Xiu considered was that he was worried that Cao 'Cao' had a serial plan.
Once the ambush is linked one after another, the light cavalry heading for the pursuit is prone to problems.
After arranging the Yellow Tiger Palace, we can ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Zhang Ren hugged his fists and said: "The last general understands!"
Immediately, Zhang Ren and Wei Yan went down to make arrangements, and Liu Xiu also called Huang Hu and asked Huang Hu to lead a team of light cavalry into battle, followed by the light cavalry sent by Li Zhang Ren.
After the two teams of cavalry left, Liu Xiu also followed the army to pull out the camp.
The army rose up and began to march north.
The army soon left the territory of Xinye, and then went all the way north, and easily took Cao Cao's power in Nanyang County.
At this time, everyone knew that Cao '' and really retreated.
Even the power of Nanyang County has been lost, which is already a great concession by Cao Cao.
Liu Xiu no longer hesitated, and sent troops to cover up the killing.
The army entered Yingchuan County.
This position is an important position under Cao's 'Cao'.
Liu Xiu temporarily set up his base camp in the border between Yingchuan County and Nanyang County.
It's September, and the weather is getting cooler.
At this time, Ma Chao and Wen Ping also killed Yingchuan County.
It's a pity that after Wen Ping and Ma Chao's troops came over and joined Liu Xiu, Cao's army had withdrawn from Yingchuan County and returned to Yanzhou.
As soon as Cao Cao' returned to Yanzhou, he ordered martial law to defend it.
The defense of the whole line made Liu Xiu's vanguard army fall into a quagmire, and it was no longer as smooth as before.
After all, Yanzhou is the nest of Cao's first career.
Liu Xiu's Chinese army tent.
Jia Xu came in a hurry, he entered Liu Xiu's tent, bowed and sat down.
Liu Xiu asked: "Wenhe, have you found out the real reason for Cao's 'Cao' retreat?" As for the real reason for Cao's 'Cao' retreat, Liu Xiu has been inquiring, and he doesn't know if Cao Cao' is critically ill?
Jia Xu nodded and said, "I've already found out." ”
Liu Xiudao: "What's the situation?"
Jia Xu replied: "Your Highness, the reason why Cao 'Cao' was in a hurry to withdraw his troops was because Xu Chu found the divine doctor Hua Tuo. Hua Tuo was able to cure Cao's head disease, so Cao's retreated. ”
After Liu Xiu heard this, he suddenly understood.
I see!
It turned out that Hua Tuo had been found.
When Liu Xiu and Cao 'Cao' were 'fighting', Cao Cao's headache was already very serious.
In the world, only Hua Tuo was 'proficient' in surgery and could cure Cao Cao's illness, and if Cao Cao' wanted Hua Tuo to be treated, it would take a certain amount of time, so Cao 'Cao' withdrew his army.
However, to Liu Xiu's surprise, Cao 'Cao' was not afraid of Hua Tuo's surgery, and he really dared to accept it.
This was unexpected.
Liu Xiu said: "Cao 'Cao' withdrew his troops, and then Yanzhou was defended under martial law. It seems that in a short period of time, we will no longer be able to fight Cao ''. ”
Jia Xu said solemnly: "Actually, this is also an opportunity for His Highness to die down. ”
"Now in Yizhou, according to the news that came, it is already a dark 'tide'. On the Jiangdong side, Zhou Yu, Huang Zhong and Tai Shici also repeatedly 'fought'. ”
"Your Highness, we already have internal troubles that need to be resolved. ”
"At this time, it is most suitable to strike the army. ”
"Especially this time with Cao's '' and 'engagement', we captured Luoyang, Guanzhong, and took the whole of Nanyang. ”
"This battle, in general, we won. ”
Jia Xu said: "The most important thing is to withdraw troops at this time and then focus on solving internal problems. ”
Liu Xiu nodded and said, "The military advisor is reasonable. ”
"Someone!"
Liu Xiu gave the order.
Deng Zhan hurriedly walked in and saluted with his fists.
Liu Xiu instructed: "Please invite Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Wen Ping, Ma Chao, Zhang Ren, and Wei Yan to discuss the matter." ”
"Whoa!"
Deng Zhan got the order and immediately went down to inform him.
