Chapter 1218

Bingzhou, at the junction of Yunzhong and Wuyuan, under the city of Fuyang, in the camp of Zhao army, King Lu Bu of Zhao was like a fierce tiger. The soldiers in the general's tent were beaten into several sections with fists. In front of him knelt several messengers, who were the messengers sent by Chen Gong from Jinyang to the front line of Fuyang.

It was more than 1200 Li from Chen Gong to Fuyang, but it took them less than four days to send the urgent report to Lv Bu.

Looking at Chen Gong's urgent report, Lu Bu was furious and scolded Huangfu Chaobo for not being a son of man and his mean means. However, Lu Bu got into trouble after he was angry. From Chen Gong's letter, he only speculated that the Tang army might attack, but he had not finally confirmed it. If he withdrew his troops to Taiyuan based on this inference, he would be too rash. Although there is no progress in the battle in Fuyang now, Lu Bu's heart is already anxious, but if he failed this time, he would return It shows that he has been helpless to these two strange sheriffs for two times in succession. With Lu Bu's character, how can he deserve this tone.

It has to be said that although Zhang Liao is strong, Gao Lan is not weak either. After all, he is one of the five excellent generals. Even though Gao Lan is in charge of several allied forces, he still won't lose ground under Zhang Liao's attack.

"Wenyuan, in your opinion, how should we deal with it?" However, Lu Bu asked Zhang Liao;

"king, according to the opinion of the last general, we should withdraw our troops and come back. If the prime minister is not sure, he will not report this to the king. The last general estimates that the information of the party will be sent no later than three days. If the Tang army is really allowed to invade Taiyuan, he will regret that it is too late!" Zhang Liao said in a deep voice;

after hesitating for a long time, although Lv Bu was unwilling, he had no choice but to agree with Zhang Liao. If he lost Taiyuan, his state of Zhao would be in a corner.

"Well, it's the king's order. Bingzhou wolf cavalry will return to Taiyuan with Gu tomorrow. The soldiers will be led by Wen Yuan and will withdraw to Xianyang. After arranging the defense in the cloud, you will return to Taiyuan as soon as possible. You will also send a messenger to Cao Xing to return to the cloud and temporarily lead the cavalry to stay in the cloud, so as to prevent Wuyuan and Shuofang from attacking the cloud."

"I'll take orders!" Seeing that Lv Bu finally agreed to his proposal, Zhang Liao was relieved.

……

At this time, the morale in tianjingguan has begun to decline. The reason is that the Tang army under the city has arranged for people to shout in tianjingguan for a day. It says that the Tang army has invaded Shangdang from Hedong and completely annihilated the 6000 elite troops of Shangdang commander Hao Meng. Now tens of thousands of Tang army have been stationed under the eldest son city. The Zhao army in tianjingguan has become a turtle in the urn.

As Hao Zhao expected, the morale of tianjingguan garrison began to decline after hundreds of loud Tang soldiers roared under the pass for a day. Fortunately, the garrison general repeatedly assured that this was the Tang army's strategy to harass the army. There were only a few ways to enter the Shangdang. Who had heard that Hedong could enter the Shangdang directly? In addition, it was only four days now, and the reinforcements from the Shangdang needed five days at the fastest As a result, the morale of taxis in the pass did not continue to decline.

……

In the eldest son City, Zhang Yang has been exhausted and returned to his palace. Today's war makes him find that he underestimated the fighting power of the Tang army and overestimated the fighting power of his troops. In only half a day's war, more than half of his own personal guards were killed. Thanks to these personal guards, otherwise today's eldest son city would have been attacked by the Tang army.

For a long time, Zhang Ke, who was standing beside Zhang Yang, said, "the eldest son has already been unable to keep it!"

Zhang Yang said dejectedly: "if you can't keep it, you have to keep it. Can't you give up now? If so, how can I explain to the king? "

"Why not..." Zhang Ke suddenly said: "it's better to break through the encirclement. There is no danger around the eldest son. In addition, time is too tight, so there is no time to prepare for defense. Moreover, the city is too big and the troops are insufficient. If you retreat to Huguan County, you can support it for a longer time. If you don't have a supreme leader, I'm afraid the whole Shangdang will be taken away by the Tang army."

Zhang Yang also knows that what Zhang Ke said is true. If it wasn't for the fact that Hao Meng's six thousand troops had been swallowed up by the state of Tang, and the state of Tang had come too soon, the eldest son city could have been kept for a month or two, but now it's too late to say anything.

However, Zhang Ke's words made Zhang Yang move in his heart. He immediately put the map of Shangdang on the table and observed it carefully. Seeing that Zhang Yang seemed to have some changes, Zhang Ke said: "the location of Huguan county is very dangerous. It connects fukouxing in the East and Shangdang in the north. If the Taishou can keep Huguan County, it is equivalent to keeping half of Shangdang. I believe that after the king comes back, he will not say anything more."

In fact, Zhang Yang does not know the truth of Zhang Ke, but as the supreme leader of Shangdang, if he even lost the county and city, Zhang Yang is still reluctant.

Seeing that Zhang Yang didn't speak out against it, Zhang Ke continued: "since the eldest son city has been unable to defend, Tunliu and Hukou pass must also be unable to defend. Rather than that, it's better to transfer all these troops to Huguan county. You know, there are 2000 soldiers and 3000 soldiers in Hukou pass, plus 2000 soldiers from four Tunliu and soldiers from other cities, At that time, there will be nearly ten thousand troops in the hands of the prefect, and the terrain of Huguan county is very dangerous. I believe... "Zhang Yang had been convinced by Zhang Ke at this time, reached out his hand to stop him, and continued to say, "you immediately sent someone to find Chang Shi and general Lu Jiu."

After that, Zhang Yang continued to focus on the map. He was thinking about how to successfully break through the encirclement and how to arrange the war in the future.

Soon, Shangdang chief Shi and LV Jiu, who are still in yinlang, arrive at the prefecture. At this time, Zhang Yang has made up his mind. Seeing the two men coming in, Zhang Yang opened the door to the two people: "I want to abandon my eldest son and retreat to Huguan city. Then I will gather my troops to defend Huguan city and wait for the king's reinforcements!"

Both of them were surprised. Chang Shi is good. He was a confidant when he was in Hanoi. He didn't have any opinions on Zhang Yang's decision. He also understood that it was a dead end to stay in his eldest son's city. He supported Zhang Yang's decision to retreat to Huguan county.

It was Lu Jiu. After listening to Zhang Yang's words, he was stunned. But he was just an intelligence officer, and there was no way to influence Zhang Yang. So after a little thought, he said, "what do you need to do next

Zhang Yang nodded. If both of them had no opinion, it would be more favorable for his plan. So he explained his plan to them carefully. After they understood it clearly, he let them go down to carry out it.
