Liu Qi frowned: "Kong Ming, what do you mean?" ”

"If our dynasty sends reinforcements, the Wei army will definitely use Sun Fu's tactics to besiege the city and send reinforcements!"

As soon as Zhuge Liang's words came out, Liu Qi was stunned, and then thought: "The Wei army is strong, our army cannot be dispersed, and we must immediately shrink all the defenders in Youxian, Liling, Ancheng, Chaling and other places to Changsha!" Kong Ming, do you think I'm right to say this? ”

Zhuge Liang bowed his hand with relief: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

Liu Qi glanced at the strategists and generals under the court, and asked in a loud voice, "Do you Aiqing have any other opinions?" ”

Everyone thought about it for a while and said that they had no objections, but most of the generals looked very unwilling.

Liu Qi immediately called the herald and gave the order to shrink the defense.

That night, the herald galloped quickly, and took advantage of the darkness of the night to enter Youxian County with Liu Qi's holy decree.

"General, what does Your Majesty expect?" The lieutenant asked with his fists clenched.

Huo Jun frowned and said, "Your Majesty orders our army to leave Youxian immediately!" ”

The deputy general was taken aback and said hurriedly: "Wouldn't this give up Youxian to the Wei army?" ”

Huo Jun folded Liu Qi's holy decree and put it into his arms, and said, "Your Majesty's move is also a last resort!" The Wei army is menacing, and if our army divides its troops to guard it again, it will undoubtedly give people a handle! ”

The adjutant general nodded suddenly, and then asked without worry: "But general, Ma Chao led 30,000 iron cavalry outside the city, how can our army get out?" ”

Huo Jun frowned and said, "This is indeed a problem!" ”

Huo Jun paced back and forth in the hall, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately ordered the deputy general: "You go and pass on my general order immediately!" ”

About a quarter of an hour later. Huo Jun led the army out of the east gate, and this situation was immediately discovered by the scouts of the Wei army. The scout immediately reported the situation to Ma Chao.

Ma Chao expected that Huo Jun wanted to escape, so he led 30,000 tiger iron horsemen to chase to the east. Half an hour later, he caught up with Huo Jun, but after the battle, Ma Chao was surprised to find that the number of people in this team was less than 3,000 people, and the Huo Jun who was beheaded by him was not himself at all.

Ma Chao immediately realized that he had been deceived, and at this moment, the scout hurriedly came to report that another Jing Han army had come out of the West Gate.

Ma Chao's eyes lit up, and he scolded fiercely: "Damn guy." Dare to play this general! ”

Immediately, Ma Chao led 30,000 iron cavalry to hurry to the west, and when he arrived at the west gate, the scout reported that the Jing Han army was going west, and Ma Chao immediately led the iron cavalry to chase west.

About half an hour later, Ma Chao led 30,000 iron cavalry to catch up with the Jing Han army not far west of Youxian.

On the field, the Wei army's imperial forest army rushed to kill with iron hooves, unstoppable, and the Jing Han army was killed and defeated, and it was embarrassed.

Ma Chao killed the soldiers of the Jing Han Army who stood in the way. Urging the war horse under the crotch to kill Huo Jun directly, some Jing Han soldiers came up to block Ma Chao, but they only ended up with a tragic death under the spear.

Finally caught up with Huo Jun, Ma Chao shouted. The spear in his hand poked out at the same time, and before Huo Jun could raise his knife to parry, he was pierced by the spear.

Ma Chao picked up Huo Jun's corpse. With a frown, he slammed the corpse to the ground. scolded: "What a Huo Jun! Trick me one after another! ”

After Ma Chao ordered more than 1,000 cavalry to stay behind to guard the prisoners, he led the rest of the iron cavalry back to Youxian.

And on the way back. A scout hurriedly greeted him again, and hurriedly reported to Ma Chaoyu: "General Qicha, Huo Jun led the brigade out of the north gate and went straight to the north!" ”

Ma Chao couldn't help but scold, and then led 30,000 horsemen to chase north under the guidance of the scout, Ma Chao held his breath in his heart, he couldn't wait to break this Huo Jun who played himself to pieces!

When he chased until dawn, Ma Chao still didn't catch up with Huo Jun's department, which made Ma Chao feel extra puzzled, because according to the speed of both sides, his side should have caught up with Huo Jun's department a long time ago!

And at this moment, the scout came to inspect and reported: "The 30,000 main forces led by General Gan Ning are about to arrive in Youxian, and His Majesty orders the general to temporarily return to join General Gan Ning!" ”

Ma Chao glanced to the south, flicked his horsewhip unwillingly, and then gave the order to scatter the army.

At the same time, Huo Jun was leading his 20,000 people to advance to Changsha from the mountain trail in the southwest of Youxian County, it turned out that the last information Ma Chao received about Huo Jun's movements was obviously the smoke released by Huo Jun, and it was actually a small force composed of cavalry that went out of the city from the north gate to the north at that time, and long before that, Huo Jun had already led a large army out of the south gate and into the mountains.

Before noon, Ma Chao led 30,000 cavalry back to Youxian, at this moment, the Jing Han army stationed in Youxian had already surrendered, and the 30,000 foot soldiers led by Gan Ning had already taken control of Youxian.

As soon as Ma Chao entered the city, Gan Ning greeted him, glanced behind Ma Chao, rolled his eyes, and asked with a smile: "Can the general take Huo Jun's head?" ”

"Nope!" Ma Chao replied angrily, and then rode his horse towards the city.

Gan Ning clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Haha, General Meng Qi doesn't have to be annoyed!" In the future, Grandpa Gan, I will take Huo Jun's head for General Meng Qi! ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he was angry, gritted his teeth and glared at the grinning Gan Ning, snorted lightly, and continued to walk towards the city.

Gan Ning and Ma Chao were stationed in Youxian County, although there was constantly information about the Jing Han army, but the two did not lead the army to attack, because Cao Cao sent a message to Youxian this morning, sternly telling the two not to send troops without authorization.

In the afternoon of the same day, Cao Cao led the main force and finally arrived in Youxian.

"Your Majesty, the scout has sent a message that there are puppet Han troops retreating to Changsha in Xiajun, Liandao, Zhaoling, Liling, Ancheng, Chaling and other counties! Please allow the last general to lead the army in pursuit! ”

In the county guard mansion, Ma Chao couldn't wait to ask for his life, and as soon as Ma Chao's voice fell, Gan Ning also smiled excitedly and asked for his life to fight.

Cao Cao motioned for the two of them to be calm, and then asked Guo Jiadao: "Fengxiao, what is the current trend of the puppet Han army?" ”

Guo Jia immediately replied: "The puppet Han army has already scattered troops from Xiajun, Liandao, Zhaoling, Liling, Ancheng, Chaling and other places, obviously trying to concentrate troops in Changsha to resist our army!" ”

Cao Cao nodded, and then asked, "Fengxiao, do you think we should pursue?" ”

According to Cao Cao's original intention, Cao Cao wanted to order the cavalry to pursue, but Cao Cao was a little afraid of Liu Qi or more accurately Zhuge Liang's strategy, so he couldn't make up his mind.

Although it is said that the overall strength of the Wei State is definitely above the top of the puppet Han, but even so, Cao Cao did not dare to be too careless about the enemy, after all, above history, it is not one or two things that are stronger than being overturned by a weak country.

Guo Jia thought for a moment, frowned, and said: "Among the pseudo-Hans, Zhuge Liang, Yi and others are all far-reaching and resourceful!" If our army rushes out, it may fall into the trap of the other side! (To be continued......)
