Liu Chan rewarded the four generals, and then ordered: "The 36 camps that have been captured will be garrisoned by troops and strictly guarded, and our army's defense line will also send 10,000 soldiers and horses over." Prepare to receive the remaining forty-two camps. ”

"Receiving?"

Hearing Liu Chan's words, all the generals were stunned, sure that they were receiving rather than attacking.

Liu Chan explained: "The first line of defense of the Wei army, seventy-eight camps, interdependent, lips and teeth, now we have captured thirty-six, the remaining forty-two, has lost its geographical advantage, it is easy to attack.

The Wei army currently has only 30,000 soldiers and horses, and has already lost 8,000 men, and if it continues to defend these 42 camps, it will only put all the 10,000 soldiers and horses guarding these camps.

In this way, the second line of defense is only garrisoned by more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the defensive force is relatively insufficient.

Now that the reinforcements of the Wei army cannot arrive in a short time, if the second line of defense is insufficient, what will happen to you?

If you are a smart person, you will know how to make trade-offs, withdraw the soldiers and horses of the first line of defense, and concentrate your forces to defend the second line of defense. ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he said: "In this case, it is better to mobilize a large army to attack the remaining forty-two camps, and take advantage of the fact that the Wei army has not withdrawn at present, and crush the Wei army's defense line in one go." ”

Liu Chan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that the order to retreat has been issued at this moment, and it will take time for our army to deploy troops on a four-hundred-mile defense line."

Even if the troops come to the city at that time, the Wei army is afraid that it will also retreat, it is better to reduce the casualties and let the Wei army give up by itself, we just have to accept it. ”

Jingyang City.

The soldier who watched His Highness flee back scolded: "Thirty-six camps were lost overnight, are you waste?" ”

A guard who fled back said: "General, the Shu army has infiltrated the camp by some means, and then the inside and outside should be combined, we have no way at all." ”

Zhao Zhao snorted coldly: "There is no way? I told you a long time ago that this is the tired strategy of the Shu soldiers, which is intended to make you relax, so that you must be vigilant and not fall for the trick.

You tell me there's no way? Why didn't the remaining forty-two camps be lost? ”

"We're taking precautions." In order to shirk responsibility, Ichimori chose to lie.

When he heard this, he was immediately furious: "You dare to lie in front of me? I said, when the Shu soldiers came, they immediately lit the wolf smoke, did you light it? Yes? If the army is defeated, you dare to shirk my responsibility, I will definitely deal with your military law, come on, push them out for me and cut them down. ”

At this moment, a soldier walked in and reported: "General Qiyu, the general has arrived!" ”

"Humph!" Zhao snorted coldly and hurriedly went out to greet Cao Zhen.

"The last general has seen the general!" Outside the palace, Cao Zhen had already arrived with Cao Chun, Chen Tai, Wang Shuang, Shi Bao, Xiahou Rong and others.

"No need to be polite!" Cao Zhen picked up the trick and asked as he walked towards the mansion, "How is the situation now?" ”

"The last general is incompetent!" Kneeling on the ground, Cao Zhenhao also walked to the door of the main hall and saw the soldiers kneeling on the ground with His Royal Highness.

"What's going on?" Cao Zhen's face immediately sank.

Zhao Zhao said with a bitter face: "The night before yesterday, the Shu army launched an attack, and the first line of defense was broken overnight. Of the 36 camps and 9,400 defenders, only 1,300 escaped and more than 8,000 were killed or wounded. ”

Cao Zhen's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground: "What? How is this possible? Zijing, what the hell is going on? ”

Zhao explained: "The Shu soldiers used the tactic of exhausting soldiers, and they only came to harass every day, but did not attack, so that the soldiers underestimated the enemy and neglected to take precautions. Then the Shu army raided at night......"

Cao Zhen said angrily: "You can't see such an obvious strategy? Let the soldiers take strict precautions. ”

He sighed and said: "The last general gave an order, but there are only seventy-eight camps, and the last general can't take care of them, and the remaining forty-two camps are all heavily guarded, so they are not lost, and the thirty-six camps that were lost are all not obeyed." The last general is incompetent, please punish the general! ”

"Blame me for not sending you more manpower, four hundred miles of company camp, you really can't take care of it." Cao Zhen sighed, helped him up, and said: "It's just that these camps are interdependent, and if you lose thirty-six camps, the other forty-two camps will be useless, and the first line of defense can only be abandoned."

Now the top priority is to abandon these forty-two camps, concentrate the forces on the second line of defense, if the withdrawal is late, the Shu soldiers attack on a large scale, the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses suffer heavy losses, the second line of defense is insufficient troops, and can not be defended. ”

He said: "After the last general learned the news, he immediately ordered the troops to retreat. ”

Cao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, Chen Tai, Shi Bao, Wang Shuang, the three of you go to assist the soldiers and horses to retreat and guard the second line of defense." ”

"Not only do you need to retreat, but you also need to straighten out your troops." Xiahou Rong on the side said coldly: "Your Majesty has come to Chang'an in person, there can be no mistakes here, we must let the soldiers go all out, and they must not carry the slightest thing." ”

"Not bad!" Cao Zhen listened to Xiahou Rong's words and nodded, "Kill all the guards who fled back, and use the military law." ”

"The general spares his life, the general spares his life!"

"We don't dare anymore, beg the general to spare my life."

The more than a dozen guards in the hall who escaped back were so frightened that their faces turned pale with fright, and they begged Cao Zhen to spare their lives again and again.

Xiahou Rong said in a deep voice: "It's not enough to kill them, all the soldiers who fled back must be executed, not only the guards, but every soldier must go all out, and there must be no slackness." ”

Hearing this, he looked at Xiahou Rong, seeing that he was so young, he really couldn't imagine that such cruel words came from his mouth.

More than 1,000 people, all executed, this is too ruthless, right?

"This ......" Cao Zhen also hesitated a little when he heard this: "It's good to correct the law by the master, and the ordinary soldiers will spare them once, a thousand soldiers and horses are not a small number after all." ”

Xiahou Rong persuaded and said: "In extraordinary times, when you do extraordinary things, if you can't do it, you will be rewarded, and if you have done it, you will be punished, how can you serve the public?" Only by putting all these people to death can the soldiers not slack off in the slightest.

Now that Your Majesty is personally marching to Chang'an, the first line of defense is now useless, and we can no longer make any mistakes, and we must restrain the soldiers with strict military laws. ”

Cao Zhen's face kept changing, and after a long time, he said: "Shaoquan, you are right, I appointed you as a military judge and in charge of military law, and all the soldiers who escaped back will be executed to correct military law." ”

Xiahou Rong gave up his hand and took the order: "No! ”
