The first thousand three hundred and twenty-six chapters of the top strategist Xi Zhicai left the stage sadly
If this matter is allowed to spread at this time, people's hearts will immediately disperse, and the team will be even more difficult to lead...
Choking!
Deng Ai solemnly pulled out the sword at his waist, beheaded a chattering Cao soldier on the city wall, and shouted: "This is the conspiracy of the Han general. You are not following the enemy's wishes by doing this."
Huh? Whoever dares to discuss this matter again will be killed without mercy!!"
He swung his sword and killed several people, finally suppressing the situation temporarily.
Deng Ai and Xi Zhicai looked at each other and saw the thoughts in each other's eyes: the morale of the army was in turmoil, and Hu Pass could no longer be defended!
...
When the pot was boiling, it turned into a roaring fire, and they almost mutinied.
This key news had long been known by the Jin Yiwei who was lurking in the city. He then flew an eagle to send a message and sent the news back to the Han army...
Zhong Huijie smiled and said: "The big thing is done. Cao's army at Huguan is demoralized, but it can be defeated without a fight... Bo Yue, what do you think?"
Zhong Hui felt inexplicably happy.
As soon as I started to lead the army, I had such an opportunity!
As long as Huguan is broken, the troops can sweep across the entire Shangdang County and successfully complete the final battle of merging the states...
By then, as the leading generals, he and Jiang Wei would not be able to escape a first-class meritorious service no matter what, and they would be worthy of Liu Hao's high hopes and cultivation for them...
The two discussed for a while, but Jiang Wei said: "Shiji (Zhong Hui's cousin), our army has the absolute upper hand at this time, and we must be careful to prevent Cao's army from breaking out at night. His Majesty Jinkou said that he wanted to capture Deng alive by name."
Ai, we absolutely cannot let him get away!"
"Bojo used his troops cautiously, as he should have done!"
Zhong Hui swallowed up the complacency in his heart, stared at the map, and said: "If Deng Ai switches to break out, there are four directions to choose from. The west gate and the south gate are both plains and wilderness. Even if he wants to leave, he can't escape far. I
The army's white-clothed lion light cavalry can chase them down at any time and catch them all in one fell swoop..."
"The main ones are the east gate and the north gate. Outside these two directions, the mountains and forests are dense, making it difficult for the cavalry to move... If I were Deng Ai, I would definitely choose to break out of the encirclement through these two gates and flee to Hebei!"
Jiang Wei nodded and agreed: "Deng Ai is very talented, and Cao Wei's great military advisor Xi Zhicai is on hand to make suggestions, so don't neglect him!"
The two discussed and discussed for a long time and finally determined the overall strategic plan.
Then, the generals in the army were summoned to implement the strategic plan...
Night gradually falls.
The originally bright moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and it was pitch black. The Han army camp was also silent, as if all the Han army soldiers had fallen into a slumber...
The night is dark and windy, making it a good night for running.
The city gate of Huguan suddenly opened at the third watch.
Two soldiers and horses surged out of the city, heading east and north, each fleeing for their lives...
Along the way from the north gate are Deng Ai and Cao Jun's general Shi Chao.
In addition, along the way to the east gate, Qi Hong, the fierce general of Cao's army, escorted military advisor Xi Zhicai, rushing toward Hebei...
"Haha... It's God helping me. The defense at the east gate is so lax!?"
Qi Hong took Xi Zhicai and chose a small road to walk. He ran for more than half an hour but did not see the Han army's pursuers. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed...
After the Han army besieged Huguan, they were cut off from water and food, and they completely regarded Huguan as something in their pocket...
Now it seems that the Han army was still lax and unprepared to break out of the encirclement at night, and actually let him lead Cao Jun out...
Just as he was thinking happily, Qi Hong's mind suddenly jumped, and the vigilance of a peerless general suddenly rose...
Something's wrong!
Qi Hong looked around at the dense mountain forest in front of him, feeling a strange sense of crisis in his heart, but he couldn't tell what went wrong!
Bear!!
Just when Qi Hong was leading the crowd to rush through a valley in front of him, a raging fire suddenly broke out on the peaks on both sides!
"not good!"
Xi Zhicai's expression suddenly became solemn. He stared at the hillsides on both sides and couldn't help sighing: "The Han army actually set up an ambush here. We... fell into the Han general's plan..."
At this time, in this nameless valley, countless torches lit up!
The fire spread its red light and formed a red dragon, coiling on both sides of the valley!
Qi Hong was shocked!
His eyes widened and he looked at the Han army above the valley in disbelief. The mountains and plains were covered with Han troops in armor!
The plan of splitting up and running away that they thought was unpredictable was actually completely discovered by the Han army!?
He also laid a dragnet and waited for Xi Zhicai to throw himself into it?
In the valley ahead, one of the cavalry led the way. General Wei Yanting came out with his sword and shouted: "At this time, you have no way to advance or retreat. Why didn't General Cao surrender earlier!?"
Even Xi Zhicai and Qi Hong were shocked. Those soldiers of Cao's army who escaped at night were even more miserable. A feeling of fear and despair emerged in everyone's hearts...
Xi Zhicai suddenly laughed loudly on horseback and said: "General Qi Hong, you are brave enough to defeat the three armies. If you succeed in breaking through today, tell the King of Wei for me: Xi Zhi is talented and shallow, and cannot assist the King of Wei to achieve success!"
Qi Hong said: "Why did the military advisor say this? When the general finally fights his way out of the siege, the military advisor himself can tell the King of Wei..."
Xi Zhicai stared at the fire dragon running across the valley in the distance, and sighed with emotion: "The situation in Bingzhou has reached this point, all because of Xi Zhicai's incompetence, how can he see the King of Wei again?"
Qi Hong had nothing to say.
Cao Cao handed over the Bingzhou battlefield to Cao Hong, Deng Ai, and Xi Zhicai.
Xi Zhicai was the great military advisor of Cao Wei and the mastermind of the Bingzhou battlefield, but he was unable to stabilize the situation in Bingzhou and was completely defeated by Chen Qingzhi.
It can be said that Cao Hong was inferior to Chen Qingzhi compared to Deng Ai, or it can be said that Xi Zhicai was led by Jia Xu.
"If you have a talent for drama, how can you give birth to Jia Wenhe!?"
Before Qi Hong could react, Xi Zhicai had already drawn the long sword from his waist, circled it around his neck, and killed himself on the spot...
