In the past few days, he has been attacking Jingcheng Pass continuously, and Zhan Hong is indeed hi, although he has not taken Jing Cheng Pass, which makes him a little unsatisfied, but this time Zhan Hong is acting strictly in accordance with Cao Liang's orders, and Cao Liang's order is just for him to launch a feint attack on the Merge Pass, requiring them to maintain restraint and not expand the scale of the war, so even if Zhan Hong wants to take Jing Cheng Pass in one go, he does not dare to easily step on this red line.

However, after Lu Zhao's reinforcements arrived at Jingcheng Pass, he really let go of Lian Hong, and he may not be able to take down Jingcheng Pass, after all, such a dangerous pass as Jingcheng Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and with the blessing of reinforcements, the defense has increased a lot, with the strength of the left guard battalion and the right guard battalion, it is indeed impossible to take the Jing Cheng Pass.

Xian Hong wanted to avenge the arrow, but this wish was counted, after all, when Lu Zhao attacked Weize Pass, he didn't succeed, this time he attacked Jingcheng Pass, killed and injured a large number of Jizhou troops, out of the chest of a mouthful of turbidity, the two sides can be regarded as leveled.

At this time, Cao Liang's latest order was conveyed, asking them to withdraw their troops immediately, and Lian Hong also happened to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, anyway, if they continue to fight, they won't be able to get much cheaper.

So the left guard battalion and the right guard battalion set up camp overnight and returned to Weize Pass.

In the face of the offensive of the Bingzhou Army, Lu Zhao was really a little anxious, and outside the Guan, the Bingzhou Army was camped for dozens of miles, and there were many banners, especially Cao Liang's big banner, which brought Lu Zhao a very great pressure, although since he arrived at Jingcheng Pass, he had never seen Cao Liang show his face, but the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, what kind of person Cao Liang is, that is the existence of defeating Sima Yi, Lu Zhao asked himself that he did not have the ability to compare with Sima Yi, Sima Yi was a defeated general, and he was a defeated.

The offensive of the Bingzhou army was quite fierce, and the use of heavy equipment such as catapults and crossbow vehicles caused great casualties to the Jizhou army defending the city, but fortunately, Lu Zhao brought a lot of troops from Yecheng this time, which was enough to make up for this loss.

It's also a fear to think about it, fortunately I rescued it in time, otherwise whether Jingcheng Pass can be saved, it's really hard to say, once Jingcheng Pass is lost, the vast Jizhou Central Plains is almost unsafe, Lu Zhao doesn't know how he will deal with it at that time.

Guarding Jingcheng Pass is the key to holding Jizhou, Lu Zhao did not dare to slack off at all, and would personally go to the city every day to command the battle and take the lead. Lu Zhao is already over half a hundred years old, but he is really working hard in order to keep the Jingcheng Pass.

Under the leadership of Lu Zhao, the Jizhou army united as one, strictly guarded the head of the city, and ensured that the Jingcheng Pass was not lost.

Until yesterday, the offensive momentum of the Bingzhou army had not weakened, and the two sides fought fiercely until the sun set, and then they withdrew their troops and stopped fighting.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Zhao got up very early, and was the first to climb the city in the cold wind, he was fully prepared for the battle, and believed that this day would be spent in a fierce battle, and the Jizhou army could still hold on to the end.

However, until sunrise, there was no movement on the side of the camp of the Bingzhou army, and there was no sign of the Bingzhou army going to war. Lu Zhao couldn't help but be full of doubts, in the past few days, the offensive of the state army has been very fierce, why did it suddenly stop today?

Could it be that there is any conspiracy of the state army? Deliberately let the defenders relax, and then take one by surprise?

Lu Zhao did not dare to relax his vigilance, so that the army defending the city continued to maintain a high degree of alert, ready to enter the battle at any time, and at the same time closely watched the movements of the Bingzhou army camp.

However, it was not until the third pole of the day was understood, but there was still no sign of the state army going to war, and Lu Zhao realized that something was wrong.

On the side of the camp of the state army, it is too calm, deathly silent, except for those camps and flags, there seems to be no figure in sight, this is too abnormal, right?

So Lu Zhao sent a few scouts to investigate, in order to prevent a sudden sneak attack on Bingzhou, he didn't even open the city gate, but put down a few hanging baskets to hang these scouts.

It is unrealistic to send a large army out of the city, it is easy to be ambushed by the state army, and sending a few scouts there, even if it is lost, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

The scouts quickly arrived at the camp of the Bingzhou army, and they were even ready to be killed by random arrows, but when they arrived in front of the Bingzhou military camp, there was no sound inside, and there was no movement at all, so they bravely entered the camp, only to find that the entire military camp was empty, and the Bingzhou army did not know when it had gone without a trace.

The scouts were not at ease, and they checked the camp of the Bingzhou army inside and out, and even the surrounding places for several miles, and sure enough, they still did not find half a figure of the Bingzhou army, so they hurriedly returned to Guanzhong and explained the situation to Lu Zhao.

Lu Zhao's face suddenly changed when he heard the news, and it was a good move for the golden cicada to come out of its shell! No wonder there was no movement in the barracks, it turned out that they had withdrawn all the way overnight, leaving only an empty camp and countless flags.

It's just that what Lu Zhao can't figure out is that the Bingzhou army has come so vigorously this time, only fought for so many days, and withdrew like this, so anticlimactic, it really doesn't look like Cao Liang's combat style!

If the defense of Jingcheng Pass is tight and invulnerable, and the state army has repeatedly failed to conquer it, then there may be the possibility of retreating, but the current situation is not like this, it is clear that the offensive of the state army was still very fierce yesterday, and the pressure on the defenders was quite large, and it was impossible for any general under command to retreat in such a sloppy manner when the siege battle was clearly clear and still had an advantage.

If something goes wrong, it is a demon, there must be some mystery in it, but Lu Zhao is puzzled. If it is said that the Bingzhou army deliberately withdrew its troops to lure Lu Zhao to attack, it should not use this way of golden cicada shedding its shell, but should retreat with great fanfare, so that it disappeared without a trace, and even if Lu Zhao wanted to pursue, he couldn't find a direction.

Lu Zhao thought about it, but he was also at a loss, and the series of operations of the state army was too incredible.

I can't figure it out and can't help it, Lu Zhao can only stick to Jingcheng Pass, so as not to respond to all changes, anyway, if the goal of the Bingzhou Army is Jingcheng Pass, then they will definitely kill back.

After waiting for a few days, there was still no news from the Weize Pass, but there was news from the Guangchang side, and the news was extremely explosive, and Guangchang was lost!

Lu Zhao realized at this time, it turned out that he had been fooled and fell for Cao Liang's plan to attack the west.
