"Liu Xide's department, the offensive momentum is rapid, if it continues like this, it will be difficult for Chen to be a guarantor!

Ming Gong, please ask Yuan Rang and other departments to help from the rear!

Our army is on the east and the front line, and when we hold on, we can find an opportunity to counterattack! ”

In the military discussion that day, Xu You first put forward his views on the Chenliu war.

Now Cao Jun's decline will be difficult to change for a while.

Only by holding on to the key points and avoiding further overturning of the situation can the situation be stabilized.

Cao Cao sat on the top of the eucalyptus, stroking his forehead and meditating all the time.

Cheng Yu got up after Xu Yu and said, "Ming Gong, what Ziyuan said, I think it's appropriate!"

Wen Ze and other troops have retreated from Xuzhou, and they can launch an attack for Liu Xide's subordinates in the rear to alleviate the situation.

But in the land of Yingchuan, if Yuan Rang can lead his troops to help, we can retain our advantages to avoid the loss of most of Chen Liu's department!

As long as we can survive this period of time, most of Liu Xide's men and horses, the grain and grass on the front line will be scarce, if our department can rely on the flexibility of the cavalry, it can be broken, or it can counterattack to Jiyin and other places! ”

Cheng Yu's suggestion is a supplement to Xu Yu's strategy.

But what the two men said ignores a serious fact.

Who can guarantee that Ding Yuan and Zhang Ji's uncles and nephews, who had obtained most of Nanyang a month ago, would not take advantage of Cao Ying's weakness to fight in the land of Yingchuan when they were fighting with Liu Biao?

In fact, it is not the neglect of Xu You and Cheng Yu's two major schemes, according to the news from Nanyang, Ding Yuan and other parties are urging the war with Liu Biao, and stabilizing the Nanyang place, and there is no time to come to Yingchuan to start a war.

This is only the news that has been explored, and it is not fully guaranteed.

And in order to keep the place where Chen stayed, it was reasonable and necessary to transfer Xiahou and other troops to come from Yingchuan to help during this crisis.

However, Chen Qun raised this concern in time.

"Ming Gong, Ding Yuan and others have won Nanyang, which is the trouble of Yingchuan, if Yingchuan is mobilized, known to others, and the Ministry has never attacked, then we will be in the middle of the north and south siege, and we have to try.

As a last resort, there is only one way to give up the place where Chen stays, and with the help of the topography of Yuzhou, to do a counterbalance! ”

Chen Qun said that Xu You and Cheng Yu did not object, as for the pros and cons, in fact, Cao Cao made the decision.

Cao Cao pondered for a long time, and only after Liu Xun also got up to tell him his opinion, did he say: "Ziyuan, Changwen, Zhongde and the words of the monarchs have their own reasons.

However, Yingchuan is important, and I am not allowed to say much, and most of the troops cannot be transferred. I went to Ding Yuan's letter before, but he did not reply, and it is difficult to judge what he did, so I have to prevent it!

There are also Zhang Ji's uncles and nephews, who are also unknown! ”

When Cao Cao said this, he sighed for a long time, and said: "Now in the crisis, it is a last resort, and in order to save the people, it is not an expedient strategy to retreat.

The matter has come to this point, and it is important to protect Chenliu County, Yongqiu, and Guancheng. The ministry of all parties, the line is concentrated, as for some other places, but with the situation, it has to be abandoned! ”

There is a give-and-take, Cao Cao understands this truth very well.

It is the only way to act now.

After his humane words, Chen Qun and others responded one after another.

That is, in the official house, under Cao Cao's decision, everyone began to plan and supplement.

It was night, and all the units of Cao Ying decisively abandoned some military posts, all of them retreated, and concentrated their forces on the riverbank, and lived in danger to defend them.

When he got the news, Liu Qi had already arrived in Kaocheng.

In the land of Kaocheng, he is summoning Guo Jia, Sun Guan and others to adjust the next battle.

After Liu Qi was in the military newspaper and asked the scribe to read it in public, he got up and came to the map in front of everyone, and pointed to several Chaliu points above: "Outside of this place, Cao Mengde has really withdrawn!"

It is in danger in Chenliu, Yingchuan, including the Ministry of Yuzhou, or there is also a transfer!

Ding Jun lives in Nanyang, and it's time to act! ”

This time when he came to fight Cao Cao, Liu Qi did not surrender to Guo Jia and Sun Guan, the core staff, and concealed his friendship with Ding Yuan in his early years.

In fact, in the next battle, Ding Yuan's containment from the direction of Nanyang was an important part of the strategy, so that Cao Cao could not have enough troops to supplement in Chenliu and other places.

Unless it is transferred to Runan, there are still some troops stationed in Henan. But with the small number of troops in Runan, Yuan Shu may be guilty of this. Regarding Yuan Shu's temperament, Liu Qi believes that the people of Cao Ying should be clear. And the soldiers in the Henan area, once the number of soldiers is also reduced, Wei Zhen, who has already received his military orders, will inevitably come down from Hanoi to fight.

As for the capital of Luoyang, it is now the imperial court, but it is difficult to restrain it. Including Liu Bei's acceptance of the front position, he also trapped the Menghu here, and it was difficult to fight with him Liu Qi.

Cao Jun's current movements directly show that Cao Cao himself, including the people inside Cao Ying, has a clear understanding here.

"Envoy, with the movement of the Cao army, I think that according to the previous discussion, we can first make our decision, with the land of Yongqiu, the head of the Cao army's heavy troops, if you take it by force, the gains outweigh the losses.

And now that the snow is falling, the march is also difficult, but it is even more important to restore what you said!

In particular, it is more appropriate to build up local military affairs and form a precaution in the township, so that the Cao army can be squeezed, and after the beginning of spring, it is more appropriate to recover the last few places in Yanzhou with Poyongqiu and other places.

In addition, we should wait for the Yingchuan battle situation to come, and then make a long-term plan! ”

Guo Jia said, and everyone in the hall also nodded in response.

Liu Qi's eyes were on the land of Yingchuan.

Cao Cao is now retreating, concentrating his forces to act, as Guo Jia said, wait for chaos to arise later, can you still stand it?

As for Cao Cao's decisive actions and military reactions, Liu Qi realized that the opponent here was powerful, and it was not due to Cao Mengde, who was the prime minister of Cao Cheng who covered the sky with one hand at the end of the Han Dynasty, in order to break Yuan Shao and lay a solid foundation for Cao Wei's foundation!

Nanyang.

The county seat of Wanxian County, in the official residence of the county government.

Ding Yuan was flipping through the papers, and was doing a deep groan, when the soldiers came to report, Zhang Ji arrived, and his people quickly walked out of the warm official residence to go out to greet him.

Zhang Ji and his nephew Zhang Xiu, who originally belonged to Dong Zhuo, showed their prominence as early as the Jizhou Ping Yellow Turban War in the past. After that, for Hu Zhen's lure, he got under his command.

But after Hu Zhen arrived in Guanzhong and acted as a guard, he saw that Hu Zhen was utilitarian, and he was worried that Jia Xu, the strategist he trusted, would seek to get his subordinates. Decisively detached, and guarded in the area of Lantian Mountain.

After Ding Yuan learned about Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew's situation, he decisively invited him. In the war against Yuan, Shi Qi himself did not go all out, just to take the opportunity to seize Nanyang. And Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew wanted to go back to Dong Zhuo's account and continue to serve, but after hesitating, Ding Yuan's letter also solved their worries.

After joining Ding Yuan's account, Ding Yuan called Zhang Jixing his brother, and when he got Wan County, he gave most of his property to him, and the relationship was harmonious.

That is, now, Ding Yuan has led Nanyang Taishou from himself, and Zhang Ji has also been reused.
