Each has its own calculations, each has its own thoughts, and Zhao Yun is there, at least it can be guaranteed that Cao Cao will not easily kill Xuzhou City, so Liu Lan pays more attention to Wen Chou's dynamics, but the good news comes one by one, especially Xiahou Dun and Gao Ran pursued Zhou Cang to Liangcheng, which is very close to Xiapi and far away from Xuzhou City, and it can even be said that Xuzhou has become very safe, even if Wen Chou wants to turn the spearhead to attack, it will take nearly five or six days, and he can calmly withdraw from Xuzhou in less than three days.

Although Zhang Cheng and Chen Ying commanded more than 10,000 Xuzhou infantry plus county soldiers, they can gather more than 20,000 people, but what is the role of these 20,000 people, there is definitely no hope for defending the city, but if you escort some people to transfer to the south or even leave, it is still very simple.

And with Liu Lan coming back from Yancheng this time, the first thing he did was to transfer important personnel such as Chen Gong Xu Shu and Chen Deng Chen Qi father and son, his original intention was completely out of security considerations, just like he and Guan Yu predicted, once Wen Chou pursued, what might happen, such a thing must be foolproof.

And now in Xuzhou, what else is Liu Lan afraid of losing? In addition to talents, there is only the population, although the population has shifted some, but not much, and talents, with the relocation of the office, there are not many people who really stay in Xuzhou City, but when transferring Chen Deng, he has a very convenient excuse for the other party, that is, it is convenient to give him treatment, so he must return to Moling.

And Chen Gong, the excuses have also been found, for this reason Liu Lan even did not hesitate to transfer him from the Xuzhou Governor's Mansion to the last general's mansion, but Chen Gong's insistence made him have to give up such a decision, as he said, it is not good to transfer too many personnel at this time, otherwise it is easy to cause internal panic and uneasiness.

This point has caused a lot of turmoil before because of the improper measures of Zhang Cheng and Chen Ying, although the timely rectification of the city quickly calmed down, but once such a large range of departure, it is likely to cause everyone in the city to be in danger, and it will never play a positive role in the stability of Xuzhou City.

Chen Gong is not a Yi, it is a Yi who does not leave, no one in the city cares, but Chen Deng and Chen Gong leave one after another, no matter how perfect the excuse is, it will make people suspicious, especially in this special period, so there are not many people who really leave, but they are all ready, once there is any wind and grass, first of all, they will abandon Xuzhou and go south to Xiapi, and then transfer from Xiapi to Guangling.

When he arrived in Guangling, in fact, Liu Lan didn't need to stay in Xuzhou anymore, what would happen in the battle after that, it was not clear, they could only rely on Guan Yu and Zhao Yun themselves, if the defeat turned into victory, then the recovery of Xuzhou was just around the corner, if the desired result was not achieved, the two of them might have a lot of trouble, but he believed that whether it was Guan Yu or Zhao Yun, if the situation he was worried about really happened, he should also be able to bring the troops back to Guangling safely.

Here, the last battle of Xuzhou will be staged, in fact, if he really retreats to Guangling, Liu Lan has nothing to look forward to in this battle, and there is no need to continue fighting, even if he wins, he will pay a very heavy price, if this is the case, he can directly meet the enemy in Langya or even Yancheng, there is no need to choose Guangling.

Liu Lan can think of this, in fact, he has already sat down and made the final decision, and when it really comes to that time, it is the moment when he really retreats to Guangling, a person looking up at the starry sky outside the house, his gaze is very complicated, obviously Mingyue does not really attract him, his mind has been thinking about these problems, and even the future.

He didn't dare to think about victory, it was very difficult to defeat Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, even more so at this time, of course, although he was more pessimistic, but it was not without a chance of winning, but he was used to thinking about the worst outcome of everything, and after retreating to Moling and arriving in the south, did he still have a chance to make a comeback?

If the troops are still there, this may exist, and the main force is eliminated, then he will completely lose the possibility of turning over, so this is the reason why Liu Lan is really unwilling to fight Cao Yuan in the final battle in Guangling, Cao Cao and him are not able to consume him, but he is not compared with Yuan Shu, but why is it not Cao Cao compared with himself, he can't consume Yuan Shao, if he can 100% guarantee victory, then he has nothing to fear, but can't, in the face of risky things, he can only think about preserving his strength first.

The main force is still there, he has the opportunity to counterattack Xuzhou, a year is not good for five years, no matter whether Xuzhou can be recaptured in the end, but at least there is a chance, hope is still there, but if you go to fight hard, Jizhou's population and money and food can quickly make up for Yuan Shao's losses, and he has no such possibility, and even recruits new troops because of too much loss of the main force, but his main forces are all veterans of three or five or even ten years, and the newly recruited new army, what effect can it have?

"Yun Chang, your plan is too risky, are you sure you want to execute it?" Above the bright moon, Guan Yu's face seemed to appear, squinting his eyes slightly, Liu Lan muttered to him, naturally there would be no response, but Guan Yu's response resounded: The last general has confidence and forces Wen Chou to return to the army to rescue! ”

At that time, Guan Yu's confidence was unwavering, and he could feel that Guan Yu's heart was like being lit at that moment, and it was precisely because he saw his urgency and hope that Liu Lan finally decided to implement Guan Yu's plan, but now it seems that the situation is far more different than expected.

But the only thing that remains unchanged is that Wen Chou really chased him to Liangcheng, hope is in front of him, and now it depends on whether he can recruit Wen Chou back as he said.

"Husband." At this moment, a moving voice like a woman's yellow oriole sounded in his ears, walking without wind, and even Liu Lan couldn't even notice who else could there be except Zhao Yu, the moment he spoke, the coat he was holding in his hand was draped on Liu Lan's body, after all, it was winter, although the motives of Xuzhou City were far from being comparable to Youzhou in Liaodong, but it was also cold, especially this morning and night, it was really cold enough.

But Liu Lan is a northern man after all, and the cold in Xuzhou is really nothing to him, just like the spring in Liaodong, just like the spring in Liaodong, he stood in the Han wind like this, only to feel that his body suddenly warmed, and Liu Lan found her.

~~~~~~~~~

At the same time, Gao Ran, who had already set up camp, received an order from Wen Chou to retreat, and the sudden military situation made him worried, retreating at this time was by no means a wise choice, first of all, since Guan Yu opened the city, it means that all this is in his plan, then they will return to the division under his deployment, and he can already think of what kind of situation may happen at that time, since it is so dangerous, the impact of the withdrawal is too great now, and he must definitely prevent this from happening.

So that night, Gao Ran decided to return to Yancheng in person to see Wen Chou, because at this time he had already thought of a bold idea, at least to resolve the danger of Kaicheng at this moment, that is, to attack Xuzhou, if Kaicheng is their back road, then Xuzhou City is probably far more meaningful to Guan Yu and Setshan Camp than Kaicheng to them, so whether or not Xuzhou City can be taken, this is the best choice to resolve the danger of Kaicheng.

First of all, they can get rid of the enemy's mercy on them, otherwise as long as they dare to return to Kaesong, they will be controlled everywhere from then on, and they may never have a chance to turn over, and attacking Xuzhou is the best choice for him to change the current situation, which can make them turn passive into active.

Liu Lan doesn't like the drama of besieging Wei to save Zhao, this time he wants to see the reaction of Liu Lan and Guan Yu, Xuzhou City is besieged, don't care, no matter if they happen to break the city, and then join forces with Cao Cao, Guan will besiege the city to send reinforcements, and let Guan Yu enter their pockets.

I have to say that the duel with Liu Lan has never been so simple, not only to fight bravely but also to fight wisely, such an all-round contest is something they have never had when they confront other opponents, and they need to be as prepared as possible on and off the field, and Wen Chou is obviously wishful thinking when fighting against Liu Lan, or that he is not a suitable general, of course, these words are not convenient for him to say, but it does not mean that he will not give Wen Chou an evaluation in his heart.

Just like the current situation, if he was a qualified commander, he would never have made such a decision that disregarded the overall situation like Wen Chou, and he was even so afraid that he didn't even have the idea of consulting with himself, so he directly issued a military order, from this point of view, I am afraid that it has something to do with his own deep fear of Liu Lan.

Although Liu Lan's methods are clever, as long as these conspiracies and tricks are seen thoroughly, there will be nothing, after all, it is just a conspiracy, since it is a conspiracy, the truth will be covered up under the illusion, what is Liu Lan most afraid of now, the answer is obvious, if Guan Yu stays in Xuzhou, then they really have to be careful, but if Guan Yu is really in Kaecheng, then Xuzhou is now completely empty and undefended, so why miss such an opportunity and chase Guan Yu?

Gao Ran returned to Yancheng overnight, and argued with Wen Chou on this matter, at this time the two of them insisted on their own words, Gao Ran wanted to turn the passive into the active, grasp the battlefield opportunity, and Wen Chou made such a decision not because he didn't think of this idea, but because this was originally very risky, if any force majeure factors occurred during this period, it may cause them not only to be unable to capture Xuzhou City and the possibility that the back road was cut off by Guan Yu, and then their more than 100,000 troops were trapped in Xuzhou.

If this is in Jizhou, they can survive no matter what, but this is Xuzhou, how can Guan Yu survive, but they can't.

The two were at a stalemate, each holding their own opinions, and finally Gao Ran proposed to wait for Xiahou to return, and let him make a decision with this third party, but was rejected by Wen Chou, seeing such a stalemate, Gao Ran had no choice but to release cruel words, he would never return to Kaecheng with him, and after saying that, he left directly, and after returning to the camp, he reported everything that happened here to Jizhou.

And Wen Chou didn't report all this to the top, and asked the general to transfer him away.

First of all, they can get rid of the enemy's mercy on them, otherwise as long as they dare to return to Kaesong, they will be controlled everywhere from then on, and they may never have a chance to turn over, and attacking Xuzhou is the best choice for him to change the current situation, which can make them turn passive into active.
