Chapter 752: Make a decision sooner rather than later
Wei Hou Cao Cao walked cleanly and neatly, not dragging mud and water at all, not only the army in the south of Taiyuan County retreated, ?a? ? n?en? ???.? r?a?n?? e?n `o?r?g?
Crossing Sizhou and according to Shangdang County, Cao Cao knew in his heart that neither Xiahou Chun nor Cao Hong could hold it. Facing Qin Hou Yingfei and Xu Shu, no one in the world can defend Shangdang County.
There is no food and grass inside, and there are no reinforcements outside!
Even if Cao Cao personally guarded it, it was inevitable that there would be a kind of embarrassment for a clever woman who could not cook without rice.
Shangdang County is like a piece of chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it. In the end, Cao Cao was not an ordinary person, he resisted the temptation of Shangdang County and led the army to retreat.
In the land of Bingzhou, no one was left, and he walked very thoroughly.
……
After Cao Cao left, Wei Liang took over Shangdang County and Taiyuan County, and Xu Shu led his troops north.
Cao Cao calmly retreated, and the enemy of the entire land of Bingzhou was only Hanhou Yuan Shao. This time, Xu Shu's goal is very clear, that is, to defeat Yuan Shao, bury 40,000 Yuan troops in Shangjun completely, and eliminate the war across the entire state.
Baitu County.
In the county government, Yuan Shao's subordinates were all there, everyone's faces were faintly not very good, and the news that Cao Cao led the army to retreat had already spread throughout Bingzhou.
Cao Cao's withdrawal directly put Yuan Shao in danger, and without Cao Cao to contain Xu Shu, half of the 150,000 troops would be gathered in an instant.
As long as there were 50,000 troops heading north, Yuan Shao would not be able to hold it at all. With a fierce twinkle in his eyes, Yuan Shaogao sat on the top, and his face became extremely ugly.
Yuan Shao's eyes flashed with a touch of solemnity, and he stared at Tian Feng, Xin Ping and the others, and said.
"Now Cao Mengde has withdrawn his troops south, and Xu Shu has not pursued, but let Cao Cao withdraw his troops south, I am afraid that within a few days, Xu Shu's army will be under the city."
"Yan Liangwen and Chou have all been killed in battle, and there are only 40,000 troops under Benhou's command, what do you think of this?"
At this moment, Yuan Shao has no confidence, and the gap in quantity will make up for everything. Now Xu Shu has an army of 100,000 in his hands, and in addition to defending Shangdang County and Taiyuan County, he can lead at least 70,000 troops to the north.
The 70,000 army plus the 30,000 elite divisions in Meng Peng's hands, the 100,000 army is directly aimed at Baitu, with the 40,000 army, even defending the city will become a big problem.
Especially this time to the west, in addition to his own loss of troops, Cao Cao did not lose at all, such a contrast made Yuan Shao's eyes murderous.
"My lord, now Meng Peng ambushed Wen Chou at one time and wiped out all 30,000 elite iron cavalry, resulting in only 40,000 foot soldiers left in our army."
Tian Feng's eyes flashed with a dazzling light, he raised his head and stared at Yuan Shao, and said, "Now that our army has no strength to continue to fight. ”
Speaking of this, a touch of perseverance flashed in Tian Feng's eyes, and he raised his head towards Yuan Shao and said, "Lord, in fact, the current rise of Qin Hou Yingfei is like a rainbow, and it is not something that our army can resist by itself. ”
"Now the Marquis of Qin has annexed Bashu, holding three states, crisscrossing thousands of miles, with 300,000 armor. But the lord is also a man who spans the two states of Youji, with 200,000 armor. ”
"As long as the lord is taking a state, he will compete with Qin Hou in terms of power and compete for the length of a day, instead of continuing to suppress Qin Hou here."
Tian Feng also saw clearly that Qin Hou Yingfei had a special ability, and he was able to grow in constant battles.
Since the beginning of Dunhuang County, Qin Hou Yingfei has directly expanded wildly, and there is no intention of stopping at all.
Even this time, Ying Fei's army increased from 250,000 to 300,000 in a short period of time. And these 300,000 are no longer new troops, but elite divisions that have experienced battlefield battles, and they are veterans of the battlefield who have seen blood.
It was precisely because he understood this that Tian Feng would make such a decision, because he knew in his heart that if Yuan Shao was still staying in Bingzhou, sooner or later he would be dragged to death here.
"Yuan Hao is talking about Qingzhou?"
"Hmm!"
Nodding, Yuan Shao fell silent for a moment, he knew in his heart that Tian Feng's words were not wrong, but Tian Feng had persuaded himself at the beginning, but he didn't care about attacking Bingzhou at that time.
The thought flickered in his heart for a moment, and Yuan Shao also made a decision, after all, he was a prince of a place, a strong-minded hero. Whether a thing is beneficial to oneself or not, it is natural to distinguish.
"Yuan Hao means withdrawing the army?"
"Hmm."
Facing Yuan Shao's gaze, a fierce color flashed in Tian Feng's eyes, and he said towards Yuan Shao.
"Lord, this time our army must withdraw before Xu Shu goes north to Shangjun, so as not to be dragged back."
Tian Feng's eyes rolled, and then he turned towards Yuan Shao and said, "This time our army retreated, and at the same time, all the people of Yanmen County and Dingxiang County were moved to Youzhou. ”
……
"Whew."
……
Exhaling deeply, a glint flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes, and he stared at Tian Feng and said.
"What does Yuan Hao mean to move his people and stay in the city of Qin?"
"Hmm."
……
Nodding, Tian Feng also raised his head and looked at Yuan Shao, a trace of murder flashed in his eyes, and said: "In this battle, our army has lost its troops, and we must not retreat like this." ”
"Even if you can't break through Shangjun, you must move the people of Yanmen County out in a short time, leaving only an empty city. Today, the struggle for hegemony is nothing more than the civil and military generals who fight, and it is the people who dominate. ”
"As long as the people are here, our army will have enough troops, and with the troops, we will naturally be able to organize hundreds of thousands of troops in a short period of time to compete for the world."
"Therefore, the subordinates implore the lord to immediately issue an order to withdraw the army from Yanmen."
……
Hearing Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shao's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he lowered his head and was thinking. He admitted that Tian Feng was right, but doing so would definitely provoke Qin Hou Yingfei's murderous intentions.
"Hmm."
Nodding, Yuan Shao's eyes were full of murderous intent in his eyes, he looked at Tian Feng, and said: "It's just Yuan Hao, this time Benhou has already provoked Qin Hou by going west to merge with the state, if he moves Yanmen County again, I am afraid that Qin Hou will send troops to the two states." ”
After hesitating, Yuan Shao said the doubts in his heart, because he knew in his heart that the consequences of doing so were very serious.
"Haha."
……
Haha laughed, and after half a sound, the laughter stopped abruptly, Tian Feng raised his head and stared at Yuan Shao, and said.
"The lord can rest assured that in a short period of time, Marquis Qin Yingfei will not be able to send troops to Jiyou Erzhou, whether it is to digest the land of Bashu, or to send troops to the Western Regions to suppress the rebellion."
"This requires Qin Hou to take action personally, especially the rebellion of the eight countries in the Western Regions, except for Qin Hou Yingfei alone, others simply do not have the ability and prestige to suppress it."
Speaking of this, a gleam flashed in Tian Feng's eyes, and he turned towards Yuan Shao and said, "The lord is not too late, make a decision as soon as possible!" ”
